I am Emperor Wanli

Chapter 791: The Fifth Month of the Fifth Year of Wanli
More than a minute passed, Li Shuo became a little impatient and was about to speak.

A researcher looked up and turned around with a look of horror on his face.

"What's wrong? Xiao Chen, is it effective?"

Xiao Chen swallowed and said, "It works!"

"How is the effect? ​​Is it like before? There is a little effect, but because of the purity problem, the effect is not satisfactory."

"The effect is very good. The Staphylococcus aureus and Streptococcus in the slices have disappeared visibly to the naked eye. They have all been eaten up by the magic medicine." Researcher Chen replied in a trembling voice.

Another researcher, Xiao Wang, also looked up and exclaimed in surprise: "The effect is so obvious, so obvious. The target bacteria disappeared visibly with the naked eye, and the disappearance speed is more than twenty times that of our previous experiments."

Li Shuo, Liu Linfu and others turned around in surprise and looked at Li Shizhen.

"Teacher, we have finally overcome the purification difficulty that has troubled us for more than a year. We can now hope to produce the antibiotic we have always dreamed of!"

Li Shizhen took a long breath, slowly took off the latex glove on his right hand, and rubbed his wet eyes. "I never thought that I would finally see antibiotics being made in my lifetime."

Some of the researchers around were crying with joy, while others were hugging each other, all of them were immersed in joy and excitement.

Following Dongbi Gong, they once again created a miracle and developed a new magic medicine that could kill Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus and other toxic bacteria that cause wound inflammation and pus discharge, and eventually kill people.

It can be imagined that a series of fatal injuries and diseases will be easily solved in the future, and countless lives will be saved from the hands of the King of Hell by them.

Dongbi Gong became the true King of Medicine because he developed a miracle drug to prevent the deadly infectious disease - smallpox, and an anti-malarial drug to treat malaria. He was named the Earl of Qichun by the emperor.

Now that he has made such a contribution, he will surely go down in history, and his students and assistants will also leave their names in the history of human civilization!
Li Shizhen looked at his excited students and assistants, his eyes sweeping across the young and not-so-young faces, feeling filled with emotion.

I waited for a while, waiting for their emotions to gradually stabilize.

"Everyone, the biggest challenge has finally been overcome, and the door to mass production of antibiotics has been opened. We have finally lived up to the emperor's trust and expectations.

Next, we must continue our efforts to optimize the process, select the best strains of bacteria, and maximize the purity to maximize the efficacy of the medicine. Ultimately, we will be able to produce it on a large scale, truly apply it to treatment, and save thousands of lives.

Your long-term hard work will be rewarded.

Jishi Pharmaceutical and Xiandan Pharmaceutical are both large pharmaceutical groups with considerable strength and generous spending. The compensation they will give for purchasing our pharmaceutical patents will definitely not disappoint you.”

After hearing Li Shizhen's words, everyone's faces were filled with pride and joy from the bottom of their hearts.

Why not gain both fame and fortune? !

The good news was quickly reported to the higher authorities.

The meeting of the Advisory Bureau continued, and at noon on the fourth day of May, the plenary meeting of the Advisory Bureau in the fifth year of Wanli finally ended.

During the four-day meeting, everyone fully affirmed the new policy reforms and territorial expansion from the first year to the fourth year of Wanli, and fully recognized the achievements of the cabinet, the military government and the Shaofujian.

They also reached a consensus on the strategic plans for military and national affairs for the next three years.

At the same time, he also expressed his firm support for Zhu Yijun's adjustment plan for all officials.

The Law Courts was changed to the Constitutional Council, with Li Chunfang as the Senior Official of the Constitutional Council, Zhao Zhenji as the Senior Official of the Left, and Cao Bangfu, Huo Ji, Guo Qian, Lu Tong and seven others as the Senior Officials of the Right.

Then a large number of retired officials from the third rank and above were appointed as Constitutional Officials.

The Constitutional Council has a Regulations Bureau, which is responsible for drafting and revising laws and regulations, which are then submitted to the Constitutional Council for discussion and approval and then presented to Zhu Yijun for his review and approval.

Hai Rui was transferred to be the Chief Censor and was given the title of Grand Secretary.

At the same time, according to his proposal, the nominal Censorate was split into the Censorate and the Court of Justice.

The Censorate established the Central Supervisory Council, which was responsible for supervising the cabinet, the military government, the Ministry of Finance and other central governments.

Each province has a Censorate, the chief official of which is the Censor-in-Chief, and the deputy official is the Deputy Censor-in-Chief. They are responsible for supervision and correcting officials.

The Censorate was under the dual leadership of the Censorate and provincial governors, and the Inspection Bureau and the Censorate were merged into one.

Zhu Yijun granted the Censorate comprehensive supervisory power in the form of a clear imperial edict.

The Central Supervisory Office of the Censorate and the Provincial Surveillance Offices had the right to supervise the civil and military officials of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the "state-owned industrial, agricultural, mining and commercial enterprises" under the Shaofujian, the Ministry of War, the Taifu Temple, the Taipu Temple and the Sinong Temple, and the "business officials" with a regular schedule.

Officials who promote industry are a new term during the Wanli period, meaning officials who revitalize industries and assist the economy.

To put it bluntly, they are the Ming Dynasty version of state-owned enterprise leaders.

The organization was in the Guanglu Temple, the roster and appointment and removal authority was in the hands of the Ministry of Personnel, and the nomination and performance evaluation authority was in the hands of the subordinate departments such as the Shaofujian, the Ministry of War and the Taifu Temple.

The power of supervision means that the Censorate has the right to conduct disciplinary investigations on officials under the jurisdiction of each province, and the Provincial Government and county governments must cooperate unconditionally.

If it is proven that the official has violated discipline, the Censorate will inform the Governorate, who will suspend the official and initiate a formal trial.

Officials of the third rank and above will be reported to the Central Supervisory Commission for investigation, suspension and trial.

After the case is concluded, the provincial government and the Ministry of Personnel will jointly impose different penalties on the officials who violated the discipline, such as dismissal, demotion, warning, etc. If it involves criminal offenses, it will be transferred to the procuratorate and the court will file a criminal lawsuit with the Court of Justice, and the Metropolitan Procuratorate will supervise the whole process.

The Court of Justice ensures its independence, and a special "Court of Justice Organization and Procedure Regulations" are being drafted intensively.
Hai Rui was not only transferred to the position of Chief Censor, but also served as Chief Justice of the Dali Temple, becoming the highest official in charge.

Pan Yinglong was transferred to the position of Minister of Personnel, Wang Yi'e was transferred to the position of Minister of Punishment, Li Sanjiang was transferred to the position of Minister of Imperial Household Affairs, Wu Dui was transferred to the position of Governor of Shuntian Prefecture, Fang Fengshi was transferred to the position of Governor-General of Sui Da, and Xu Wei was transferred to the position of Governor-General of Shaanxi and Gansu and the Envoy of Qinghai
Zhang Xueyan was transferred to be the governor of Jinghai, Zeng Xingwu was transferred to be the governor of Hunan, Cai Maochun was appointed as the governor of Jiangsu, Wu Chengen was appointed as the governor of Jiangsu, Xiao Daheng was appointed as the prefect of Huzhou, and Yang Fengming was appointed as the chief minister of the Taichang Temple.
Zhu Yijun finished reading the minutes of the four-day Advisory Council meetings and put them on the table. Qi Yan handed him an urgent report from the Ministry of Public Administration.

Zhu Yijun took a glance and was surprised and delighted.

“Antibiotics have finally been fully developed.”

"Yes, Your Majesty. According to Your Majesty's standards, a new drug is considered complete only if it can be fully mass-produced and tested on animals and humans. Antibiotics have been developed before and tested on mice, monkeys, and death row prisoners. The effect is very obvious, but the purity is not enough and large doses need to be injected to see the effect. The result."

Zhu Yijun waved his hand. "Well, I know the results of this experiment. The side effects outweigh the effects. The bacteria in the wounds of the animals and death row prisoners were eliminated, but the people were gone, killed by the antibiotics."

"Your Majesty is wise. The results reported by Qichun Bo and the Institute of Pharmacy this time used the newly developed butanol solution from the Institute of Chemistry to highly purify the antibiotics. The current results observed under the microscope show that the bactericidal effect far exceeds that of the previous first-generation antibiotics.

Qi Chunbo is in contact with the Institute of Medicine and is working intensively on pharmacology and toxicity tests.

"Once the purification difficulty is overcome, everything will be easy. Once the purity is improved and the strains are carefully selected, good strains with obvious effects and low toxicity are selected, qualified antibiotics can be mass-produced.

Well, Dongbi Gonghe Medicine Institute requested to give it a name before. "

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Then let's call it penicillin."

"According to the order."

Qi Yan took note. Since the cowpox vaccine for preventing smallpox was named Chuhuasu and the artemisinin for treating malaria was named Lumingsu, the emperor has now given a name to the new miracle drug, penicillin.

But everyone knows that although these miracle medicines were developed by the King of Medicine Li Shizhen and his team, they were all prompted by the emperor, who pointed out the direction, and Li Shizhen led his team to develop them in a few months or years.

Amazing!

Where did the emperor learn about these apocalyptic oracles?
The emperor didn't say anything and no one dared to ask, but everyone felt even more awed.

Your Majesty is truly the man of destiny!

Zhu Yijun saw Qi Yan's eyes, he put the urgent report on the table and asked.

"Qi Yan, do you know why people pray to God for blessings?"

Qi Yan thought for a moment and replied, "In response to your Majesty, I think the people just want peace of mind."

"The common people are very vulnerable. They need to be protected and saved, so they pray to gods and Buddhas. But they never thought that the ones who save and protect them are not the gods and Buddhas in the sky, but ordinary people like them.

From generals such as Qi Jiguang and Yu Dayou who fought against the Japanese invaders, to millions of soldiers; from Zhang Juzheng, Wang Chonggu, and Wang Guoguang who worked to strengthen the country and enrich the people, to officials of all sizes who worked tirelessly; from Li Shizhen who developed new medicines, and Huang Daolin who invented the steam engine, to millions of students who worked day and night to become pillars of society.

They saved the Ming Dynasty and protected the people of the Ming Dynasty. They are the gods and Buddhas who bless the Ming Dynasty."

At about five in the morning on May 5, Zhu Yijun got up, put on his sacrificial clothes and went to Fengxian Hall to worship his ancestors, then returned to Xiyuan to change his clothes.

With the help of Queen Xue Baoqin, he put on a custom-made field gray military uniform.

This uniform is similar to the general's, but more gorgeous.

The corners of the clothes were embroidered with gold thread, and the epaulettes had a soaring golden dragon embroidered on a red background.

The large lapel was red, with gold thread embroidered with bird and animal patterns on the edge. The single-breasted buttons were made of gold and silver, with a coiled dragon hanging from them.

The sleeves have three red edges, with gold thread embroidered with diagonal wind-rolling cloud patterns. The sides of the pants have red vertical stripes, and they are matched with a pair of sheepskin riding boots.

The hat is a round-brimmed hat with a red edge in the middle and cloud patterns embroidered in gold thread on the upper and lower parts. In the middle is a five-pointed star the size of a silver circle, with the top point black. Going clockwise, the left corner is red, the lower left corner is cyan, the lower right corner is white, and the right corner is yellow.

The five colors represent the five planets: water, fire, wood, metal, and earth.

"Five stars appear in the east, which will benefit China. The southern Qiang will be annihilated, the four barbarians will be subdued, the Chanyu will surrender, and the world will be as boundless as the sky."

Zhu Yijun put on his military uniform, riding boots, rhinoceros leather belt with silver and gold embroidery, and a slender sword. The scabbard was gleaming silver, and five rubies of different sizes were inlaid on it, shining brightly.

He put on his military cap and looked left and right in front of the full-length mirror that was as tall as a person.

Xue Baoqin praised beside him: "The emperor looks even more heroic and wise in this military uniform."

"Today I am the most handsome guy in the five cities of the capital!" Zhu Yijun was also very satisfied.

"Your Majesty, it's 7:20, the auspicious time is almost here."

The auspicious time is eight o'clock sharp. It was calculated by the Imperial Astronomical Observatory. Just listen to it.

"Okay, let's go."

Zhu Yijun, wearing a military uniform, set out from Xiyuan and walked for more than 20 minutes to Chengtian Gate, where Song Yaoshi and Xue Yi were waiting for him with a team of well-dressed cavalry.

"I see you, Your Majesty."

"No need to be polite. Where is my mount?"

"Already prepared."

A tall mount with a fiery red body was led over. It was a legendary Arabian horse.

After the Western Expedition Army recovered the Kipchak Steppe and the Seven Rivers Steppe, they selected a group of fine horses and presented them to the imperial court. This fiery red horse was the best among them.

Zhu Yijun would regularly ride horses in the parade ground north of the Western Garden. There was a Feilong Stable in the garden where imperial horses were raised.

After the fine horse was presented to the emperor, Zhu Yijun took a liking to it at first sight and selected it as the top imperial horse. He rode it regularly and they got along very well.

At 7:50, a horn sounded, sharp and melodious. The noisy sound outside Chengtian Gate quickly disappeared, and then the sound of orderly footsteps was heard.

Crack, crack, rhythmically and in a methodical manner, like the sound of a hammer striking wrought iron, coming from far away and getting closer, striking at everyone's hearts.
