The Moon in the Qin Dynasty

Chapter 76: Immeasurable Merit (Please Subscribe First and Read Later)

When talking about the second book, Nian Duan's face was already red, but he gritted his teeth and finished it. After finishing this paragraph, he breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he continued, "You can take this thing back with you, teach your children, doctors, midwives, and pass it on to the world."

There were few underage people among the people below, especially there were many elderly people, and they all knew what this thing was used for with just a quick look.

Although it feels a bit strange to say this in this kind of occasion, everyone present is an educated person and they basically recognize the importance of these things and knowledge.

Anyone who is not stupid will know how important it is to reduce maternal and infant mortality.

Moreover, the customs before the Qin Dynasty were naturally much more relaxed than those after the Song Dynasty. Moreover, this was indeed a great event that would truly benefit the world.

The audience was reading silently. Suddenly, an old man with white hair and beard, dressed in Confucian clothes, stood up from the first row in front of the stage. When everyone looked at him, someone exclaimed in surprise: "Master Xun!"

This old man was none other than Xunzi and Xunkuang. Xunzi bowed deeply to Nian Duan, who also recognized Xunzi and hurriedly returned the greeting.

Xunzi praised: "Master Nian Duan's book is truly a blessing to the world, and the book is also a good book. What's more rare is that Master Nian Duan, regardless of her status as a woman, wants to speak for women and children in the world, sacrificing herself for the world. Xunzi admires her."

"Let's not talk about the things related to the forceps, which are of course great merits. Just talking about the second book, I also know some medical skills. Many of the things described in this book are not impressive, and I know a lot of them, but no one has ever compiled them into a book and systematically described them. With this thing, it is really convenient to protect the people of the world. Master Nian Duan is virtuous and worthy of respect from the people of the world."

Nian Duan hurriedly replied: "Master Xun, you are overpraising me. Nian Duan does not deserve your praise. This is all the work of the Crown Prince, who just wrote it through Nian Duan's hand."

"As for reputation and status, in my opinion, doctors save people regardless of gender, and everything should be put after saving lives. People in the world are knowledgeable people, and I believe they all understand."

Ying Zheng didn't expect that Xunzi would actually stand up to help. With Xunzi's identity, no one in the world could question his words anymore. He was very happy and bowed to Xunzi, who returned the greeting.

Ying Zheng said: "I have heard of Master Xun's great name for a long time. Seeing him today, I can see that his reputation is well-deserved."

"Master Xun is right. Master Nian Duan is too modest. Zheng is just lucky to be blessed by heaven. If he wants to turn the virtual into the real, he should thank Master Nian Duan's medical skills. In addition, the master has worked tirelessly and devoted himself to practical matters. Only in this way can it be achieved. Zheng has made no contribution at all."

The audience also praised: "Master Nian Duan is a kind and compassionate doctor. Anyone who can say no to him has no conscience."

At this moment, a sobbing sound was suddenly heard. Ying Zheng looked and found that it was made by a middle-aged man sitting in the middle seat, with tears streaming down his face.

Ying Zheng asked: "Sir, Master Nian Duan's method is truly a good method that will benefit all living beings. Why are you crying?"

The man collected himself, wiped his face, stood up and bowed, saying, "I have no other intentions, I am just thinking about myself. My wife and I have been childhood sweethearts, and I got pregnant a year after we got married."

At this point, she couldn't hold back her tears and could hardly speak: "It was during childbirth that she had a difficult birth and two lives were lost. If I had had this thing at the time, it wouldn't have ended like this. Now, more than 20 years have passed."

"Master Nian Duan's actions are truly great and virtuous. They have saved the world, reduced many separations, and added much family happiness."

Ying Zheng bowed to the man and said, "I am very sorry for bringing up your sad past. Please don't blame me."

The man hurriedly returned the greeting and said he dared not.

Ying Zheng gestured towards the audience, and everyone remained silent for the time being.

"Master Nian Duan, please tell me the second thing." Nian Duan nodded and said, "Please open the small box."

"This little box has only one method, and that is to prevent smallpox."

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar in the audience. Some people couldn't wait to open it, and carefully took out the thin booklet with trembling hands.

"This booklet details how to prevent smallpox, how to use it, and the related taboos. It is also very simple, free of charge, and available to everyone. Please read it carefully."

"I have tested this method many times and confirmed that it is indeed effective. You can rest assured."

There was a lot of noise in the audience at this time, and the strong man's voice could no longer be transmitted. Ying Zheng used his internal energy to transmit the message for Nian Duan. Nian Duan nodded to Ying Zheng gratefully, and Ying Zheng also blinked to indicate that you're welcome.

After a long while, there was still a lot of noise from the audience. Suddenly, someone burst into tears, knelt down in front of Nian Duan, and kowtowed repeatedly.

The people around him hurriedly asked why, and he finally stopped crying and said sadly, "I am sad for myself and happy for the world. I was born in a poor family. When I was young, my family of five was infected with smallpox. I was the only one left alive. My parents and younger brother all died of smallpox. I know the toxicity of this epidemic. Now that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Master Nian Duan can prevent this epidemic, it is really difficult for me to control myself."

Seeing this man's sorrow, several people soon shed tears. It was no wonder. Smallpox was indeed a terrible disease. In this era, it depended on fate to fight it alone. Many people present had lost family members to smallpox.

To understand how terrible smallpox is, just think about the indigenous people of America.

In human history, smallpox is second only to the plague in its horror.

The method of vaccination to prevent smallpox can definitely be said to be of great merit.

What Nian Duan revealed today are all methods of killing living people, and no one can say anything bad about them. After they are spread out, it is common for people to build a shrine for them.

Ying Zheng was very satisfied with this. People are the most valuable production tools at all times, and of course the more the better.

Ying Zheng deliberately waited a little longer to let everyone present discuss it. When the atmosphere was lively, he said, "Gentlemen, please be quiet for a moment."

The scene quieted down again, and Ying Zheng continued, "Gentlemen, the methods that Master Nian Duan taught today are all methods of immeasurable merit, but it is difficult for Daqin to promote them alone. I would like to ask you gentlemen to lend a helping hand and do your best to promote them throughout the world. I am very grateful and would like to thank you all."

As he said this, he bowed deeply to the audience.

Everyone in the audience stood up and praised the prince's benevolence, and everyone said that they had no choice but to do so.

The greatest reputation in this matter must go to Ying Zheng and Nian Duan, but since they helped promote it, they naturally gained some fame as well and established good relationships. Everyone is happy about this matter and there is nothing wrong with it.

Ying Zheng nodded, waved his hand and continued, "Master Nian Duan has made great contributions. Our Great Qin has always rewarded those who have made contributions. Father is also very concerned about this matter and gives the highest support and praise."

"The current government reads out the king's order, and the doctors read out the order."

Nian Duan knelt down and said, "Nian Duan, please accept the order."

　Thanks to @猛狮 for your continuous reward support, thank you very much!
