    In any case, Cheng Yuyan, a talented young doctor, was finally tricked into the palace by Zhu Youxiao and became a fifth-grade female medical officer in the Forbidden City. Although this incident was somewhat contrary to convention, in Zhu Youxiao's career as emperor,  It can only be regarded as an extremely trivial matter, so no one cared about it. On the contrary, there was a small celebration for it both inside and outside the palace!

    Because since Zhu Youxiao came to the throne, except for the civil servants who were disgraced in political affairs and killed foreigners in the military, there has never been any news that he visited the palace maid. This is unprecedented among the emperors of the Ming Empire.  It is an extremely rare thing, so rumors about Zhu Youxiao's body are often circulated among ministers!

    Now that Zhu Youxiao has taken the initiative to bring women into the palace from outside the palace, it means that the little emperor should have no health problems. This is actually a good thing for the ministers who are looking forward to the early arrival of the heir to the Ming Empire. Of course, this time the little emperor  Juliana, another heroine who left the palace, also entered the minister's realization. Because of this incident, the task of the spy originally arranged by Dongchang around the small church in Egg changed from surveillance to protection!

    It's just that the three people involved in this matter obviously failed to understand everyone's thoughts. Zhu Youxiao was still busy with government affairs, Juliana also did not stop showing up to help his brother preach, and Cheng Yuyan, after entering the palace, helped those in the palace.  The late emperor and the concubines left behind by the former emperor had their bodies checked and their remaining illnesses were treated.

    Cheng Yuyan never forgot that Zhu Youxiao promised her the microscope. She would go to Zhu Youxiao to ask about it whenever she had time. Because of everyone's misunderstanding, the fifth-grade female medical officer met Zhu Youxiao and compared it with the bachelor's degree.  It's more convenient, but although Zhu Youxiao knows how to make a microscope, it can't be made at once. Fortunately, Zhu Youxiao has the most advanced and largest glass processing plant in the world, so he can make it  A microscope is not a problem, it just takes a while!

    After all, the world's first microscope was built thirty years ago by a Dutch father and son. Although they built the microscope just for fun and did not engage in any scientific research, the structure of the multi-lens microscope has been determined.  !

    Although Cheng Yuyan was eager to see the kind of treasure that Zhu Youxiao said could see extremely small things, she mainly focused on treating the old concubines in the palace and treating the man named Covado.  As for the priest, he is still pursuing the matter of the microscope, but he is not so impatient!

    Here I want to talk about the poor Padre Covado. This missionary who traveled thousands of miles from France and followed the American route first arrived in Mexico, then took a Manila galleon to reach Manila, and then moved from Manila to the Ming Dynasty. Although he was unfortunately infected with  He contracted malaria and was almost burned to death by order of the Ming Emperor himself, but he was finally lucky. Not only was he not burned to death, he was also isolated in the nondescript church in Egg and received treatment from professional doctors!

    Every other day, Cheng Yuyan, accompanied by the eunuch, would see Covado. Under Cheng Yuyan's treatment, Covado's condition was really under control, and there was a trend of improvement. This made the Egger brothers and sisters and  Covado himself praised God profusely!

    Through Covado's incident, Zhu Youxiao realized that the Ming Empire and himself were facing an extremely dangerous thing. In this era of extremely backward medical conditions, it was very normal for someone to die from a cold or fever, even if  Even if he is an emperor, there is no exception. After all, the carpenter emperor in history fell into the water accidentally, then caught a cold, and finally died!

    And this is still an ordinary disease. If we encounter another great plague, it would be ordinary for thousands of people to die, not to mention the death of an emperor. Therefore, after Zhu Youxiao realized this danger, he immediately  With lightning speed, the Ming Empire promulgated the first health regulations - the "National Epidemic Prevention Edict"!

    In this edict drafted and promulgated by Zhu Youxiao overnight, it is strictly stipulated that all people in the Ming Empire are not allowed to drink raw water, are not allowed to defecate anywhere, are not allowed to spit, and are not allowed to wear dirty clothes and walk through the market!

    Although these regulations seemed a bit far-fetched in the Ming Dynasty, after all, there were many people in this era who drank raw water, defecated everywhere, spit everywhere, and walked around in rags, and no one would take care of it.  Even if the emperor Zhu Youxiao issued an edict, I'm afraid no one would really take it seriously, but Zhu Youxiao couldn't control that much. He thought it would be difficult to promote the contents of the edict nationwide, but  At least in the army and the city of Beijing, these four regulations can still be strictly implemented. Even if the big soldiers and the people complain, the military police and the Jin Yiwei of Nanzhen Fusi will enthusiastically help them do it!

    In fact, after this edict was promulgated,, the people who were most affected were not the ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty, but the slaves who were either captured or bought. No one cared whether they could do it cleanly, but now that His Majesty's edict has been issued, naturally they cannot be allowed to do so.  So dirty!

    So a vigorous campaign to wash clothes and bathe slaves began. In the winter, dozens of large pots were set up in the slave camp, and ice cubes cut out from the river were thrown into the pot to boil, and tens of thousands of pots were boiled.  All the slaves' clothes were boiled, and the slaves were washed with hot water!

    Although the cleaned slave is still in rags, it looks much cleaner and more energetic. It looks much better than before!

    The biggest benefit of Zhu Youxiao's encounter with Cheng Yuyan, a talented girl, is that he accidentally found a way to prevent smallpox, a common malignant infectious disease, because Cheng Yuyan was one of the few people in the Ming Dynasty who had been vaccinated against pox!

    However, when Zhu Youxiao heard Cheng Yuyan talk about her experience of vaccination, she broke into a cold sweat because Cheng Yuyan's vaccination turned out to be human pox!

    The so-called variolation actually has a history of thousands of years in China. The earliest record appeared in the Song Dynasty. However, variola was made by drying the abscesses of smallpox patients and then blowing them into the nostrils of the recipient to complete the vaccination process!

    But the problem is that the danger of human pox is too great. After all, smallpox is a zoonotic disease. In livestock, smallpox is equivalent to acne, but in humans, it is a fatal virus!

    Although China was the first to invent the method of vaccination to prevent smallpox, the reason why it has not become popular on a large scale is because there is a high possibility of contracting smallpox from vaccination, so it takes great courage to dare to vaccinate against smallpox!

    But Cheng Yuyan¡¯s father obviously didn¡¯t lack such courage, so when Cheng Yuyan was ten years old, she was infected with variola. However, Cheng Yuyan was also lucky enough to survive!

    In order to solve the problem of smallpox, Zhu Youxiao mentioned to Cheng Yuyan that this disease might be transmitted from livestock to humans, but smallpox in livestock is not fatal. This disease is only fatal when it is transmitted to humans!

    Cheng Yuyan was indeed worthy of the title of a genius girl. She immediately wanted to find traces of smallpox in livestock, and then use the concentrated smallpox slurry from the animals to dry and inoculate the animals. Naturally, Zhu Youxiao strongly supported this idea, and  It happened that a large group of livestock was coming to Beijing, which greatly facilitated Cheng Yuyan's research. So with a wave of Zhu Youxiao's hand, all these livestock were allocated to Cheng Yuyan to study how to prevent smallpox!

    Burigude, who was rushing to Beijing, had no idea that the livestock he had worked so hard to drive over would make a significant contribution to mankind's fight against the terrible plague of smallpox!  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
