Chapter 240 Dysentery(2/4)
Although this may be really just a joke in Zhu Ziyi's eyes, this matter still has to be done. Huntian said that it had appeared on the land of China for a long time, so why are there only a few people who believe it?
It’s not that everyone is a fool, but no one is willing to try or explore.
It is also a feat to mark the correctness of Huntian's theory.
"Huntian Say?" Feng Cheng instantly understood what Fang Shiyu meant, from the Yangtze River to the sea, heading eastward, and finally back to the South China Sea area of the Ming Dynasty.
Isn’t this the idea Huntian said?
Fang Shiyu nodded slightly and said to Feng Cheng: "If you can accomplish this feat, it will be recorded in history and will be remembered forever."
The world's first person to sail around the world has gone down to history and passed down through the ages? This should not be a difficult task!!
Feng Cheng was still a little unbelievable.
Since Fang Shiyu said that, it would be okay to give it a try, so he simply offered it from the court.
Feng Cheng left Qianqing Palace, however, at this time, Fang Shiyu turned around and looked at Zhu Ziyi and said, "Let's wait, I guess I'll have to wait three to five years!"
"Then wait, you can't control the time!" Zhu Ziyi shrugged. Lan Yu had been sailing for more than two months, and probably had put down the first batch of vassal kings.
However, according to the route specified by Fang Shiyu, at this time, Lan Yu's ship should be sailing on the main continent of the Southern Continent (Australia!)
From Australia to the west, we walked and stopped along the way through many continents of the Southern Zhan Continent (Indonesia region!), and sent the vassal kings to the main continents of the Southern Zhan Continent, subcontinent, and southern Zhongzhou subcontinent (India).
Of course, there are not many vassal kings in the Nanzhan Continent, and there are only three vassal kings in the Zhongzhou subcontinent. The place with the most vassal kings is the African region in later generations. Fang Shiyu conferred twelve vassal kings in one go, including Zhu Gang and Zhu Su and other large vassal kings.
Looking at the map in front of him, Fang Shiyu said: "I draw this map so obvious. In fact, you can see from here that you enter the sea from the east coast of Dongsheng Shenzhou, and cross a vast ocean, the main and subcontinents of Xiniu Hezhou!"
Fang Shiyu pointed to the map, and Zhu Ziyi said, "After going down to the sea, I believe what Huntian said, but proving the correctness of Huntian's statement is not just to prove it to you and me!"
"Well, Madam, the issue of education and enlightenment are all very important, but I think it doesn't seem like a good thing to teach students to only take the imperial examination and only know that taking the imperial examination is not a good thing.
Everyone is eager to be officials, but no matter how big the court is, there are only limited officials. Although there are countless officials at the bottom, they are all without rank. The education reform that is about to start is about to start, and I don’t know how many people will die!”
Fang Shiyu held his mouth and took a deep breath of air conditioning. Fang Shiyu's ability to get cruel, but it does not mean that Fang Shiyu is a casual killer or a bloodthirsty person. On the contrary, Fang Shiyu hopes to implement policies in a peaceful way.
But there are some things that cannot be peaceful if those in power want peace.
The Ming Dynasty needed more and more comprehensive talents, rather than those who only read the books of sages, have a lot of ink, and have sharpened their heads into the court.
Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, 360 industries, every industry should develop, and fresh blood should be replenished.
In educational reform, whose interests are the first to move? The civil servants and masters, the books of sages they read, have been regarded as the treasure of the world for more than a thousand years, and are something that scholars must learn.
But those who teach this way will be confined to make progress.
"You want to abolish Confucianism?"
Zhu Ziyi's eyes were frozen and she stared at Fang Shiyu. If this matter really started, it would be a hot topic for Yang Yang, and I don't know how many changes would happen.
Fang Shiyu smiled and said, "The Kong family has been passed down in Shandong for more than fifty generations. The land acre method of 22 years in Hongwu. How much fertile land was collected by the Kong family?"
"One and four million acres! Half of Shandong is in their hands. The Kong family has been passed down for so long and is attached to the court to absorb the blood of the people."
"When the Ming Dynasty was founded, the Kong family was still working hard for the Yuan court, but this matter cannot be urgent. Let's start with education!"
Fang Shiyu's eyes were deep, and the Kong family would eventually stop here.
"If we don't do it, our descendants will be even less able to do it. As for Confucianism, all the things that can be used and those that cannot be used will be deleted!"
Fang Shiyu seemed to have made up her mind to defeat the Kong family!
......
Jiangning County.
Wan Guan hurriedly entered a pharmacy, and Zhao Chen, who was beside him, asked with a serious expression: "Doctor, doctor!"
"Captain Zhao, something bad happened, something bad happened!" The doctor of the pharmacy rushed out. When he saw Wanguan, he stopped quickly and said, "County Magistrate, report to the court quickly!"
"Report to the court? Report to the court for everything. Should I live?" Wan Guan scolded and asked sternly: "Tell me quickly, what is the situation?"
"Dysentery is dysentery. Today, more than 800 people have fainted. In this case, if they do not report to the court and control it, once dysentery spreads to the capital, the sky will collapse!"
Li Mingsheng burst into tears and jumped excitedly.
“Dysentery??”
Wan Guan subconsciously swallowed his saliva, and Zhao Chen said, "Sir, what should I do? Why don't you report it to the court and block the city gate!"
"Closed the city? I, I don't have the right to lock the city!" Wan Guan was helpless for a moment and looked at Zhao Chen in confusion.
Closing the city? Is that what you want to seal it?
It is not that the Ming Dynasty advocated personal freedom and centralized dictatorship in the imperial society, where there were no bullshit remarks about human rights and freedoms.
The lockdown represents road blockage, and local officials may close down and rebellion.
Without the imperial edict from the court, except for the towns and cities in the border areas, the Yunnan-Guizhou area implemented a curfew system. Since the tenth year of Hongwu, the Ming Dynasty has not blocked the city gates several times.
Of course, wartime exceptions.
All policies and wars are tilted, this is understandable.
Jiangning County has no foreign enemies to siege the city. When the Yingtian Jingshi is approaching, the city will be closed? I am afraid that I have lived enough.
Li Mingsheng said: "What should I do? Dysentery is difficult to treat, and it is flooding. It really will cause the sky to fall." Li Mingsheng was so anxious that he almost cried.
Jiangning County is so close to the capital. Once dysentery enters the capital and continues to erupt, the entire Ming Dynasty may collapse in a blast.
"Look for it, find the cause first!"
Wanguan couldn't take any attention for a while, so he could only say so.
"There is no cause here? The biggest cause is that the diet is not stable and the hygiene is poor. The first infection occurs. Then the other people's diet is not stable. Although they are not directly infected, their qi is weak and they are infected by dysentery."
"How many infected people are there now?" Wan Guan asked hurriedly.
"I have hundreds of people here, so there must be more outside." As soon as Li Mingsheng finished speaking, a figure fell to the ground outside the pharmacy door.
When Zhao Chen went out, he saw that the good guy, Xiao Yingtian, who was once extremely prosperous, seemed to have become a ghost town in an instant. Nearly a hundred patients were lying on the ground, wailing and asking for help.
"Sir, please report to the court. Now if you report it, you can still tell what happened. If you hide it, you will die more people. The court will sooner or later know that you will inevitably die!"
Zhao Chen looked solemn. He designed to frame Wan Guan and prevented him from leaving Jiangning because he was not ready for promotion. He was still convinced of Wan Guan.
Perhaps, this is the possessiveness between partners. Zhao Chen also wants to go to other prefectures with Wanguan to show his ambitions.
"Report, report, I'll write the official document now!" Wan Guan looked anxious, knowing that the matter could not be eased. There were only a few doctors in Jiangning County, how could he get through this situation?
"Sir, add a sentence to the official document. Because of the sudden dysentery in Jiangning, the officers and soldiers were urgently dispatched to block the four doors and restrict the population from going out!"
After Zhao Chen said that, he quickly rushed out of the clinic and ran towards the military camp.
Because the military camp is an isolated area, people without a license cannot enter, and the three meals a day in the military camp are strictly stipulated by the court, but there is no infection in the military camp.
Wanguan didn't react for a while. When he came back to his senses, he realized that the situation was so urgent. Jiangning was close to the capital and blocked four gates to prevent dysentery from spreading into the capital. How could the court really offend him?
There is a saying that special things are handled.
The county magistrate did not have the power to block the four gates, but the outbreak of dysentery was no less dangerous than the enemy's siege.
Even more than that.
......
Hall of Care for Heart.
Fang Shiyu was looking at the portrait in front of him. The portrait was nothing else. It was what Zhu Yuanzhang asked a painter to paint for him in Nangong yesterday. The old Zhu Yuanzhang had wrinkles and his face began to shrink. He no longer had the plump appearance of his young round face.
"Old Zhu, what does it mean to hide in Nangong and not see me!" Fang Shiyu looked at the portrait. This portrait was sent by Zhu Yuanzhang to Li Chuanxi.
Li Chuanxi said that when encountering something that cannot be resolved, you can decide by looking at this painting.
In addition to Zhu Yuanzhang, there are dozens of figures under Zhu Yuanzhang's feet. They are all wearing crimson official robes and kneeling in front of Zhu Yuanzhang.
It seems that as long as Zhu Yuanzhang moved his finger, they would fall to the ground.
"Care you? But is it really feasible to kill the Kong family?" Fang Shiyu fell into deep thought. The Kong family was still very sacred in the hearts of scholars all over the world. And Fang Shiyu had no good excuses to confiscate the Kong family and destroy the clan, let alone kill the Kong family, there would be a big change.
Just as Fang Shiyu was hesitating and wandering, Lin Wanghuo rushed into the Yangxin Hall in a hurry, rolling and crawling, kneeling outside the Yangxin Hall.
"Your Highness, Your Highness!" Lin Wang shouted loudly.
Fang Shiyu's eyes showed fierce light and stared at Lin Wang and said, "You have a few heads in the forbidden palace, and you can stretch out and show me!"
"Your Highness, I know the crime, I know the crime, I deserve to die, I deserve to die!" Lin Wang knelt on the brick and cried in tears.
"Stop crying!" Fang Shiyu turned around and sat on the chair, looking at Lin Wang and said, "If things are not urgent enough, I will chop your head today!"
Fang Shiyu scolded him sternly.
Lin Wang hurriedly delivered the official documents in his hand to Fang Shiyu.
In an instant, Fang Shiyu, who was looking at the official document, widened her eyes and said in surprise: "Dysentery?"
"Your Highness, my younger brother is still in Jiangning. Now that Jiangning has dysentery, the county magistrate Wanguan has gone beyond his authority to dispatch troops, block the four gates, and block the exchanges!"
"Your Highness, Wanguan is going to rebel!"
Lin Wang said crying.
Fang Shiyu slowly put down the official document in his hand, looked at Lin Wang with a heavy expression and said, "Do you think Wanguan is going to rebel? Am I going to kill Wanguan?"
