In fact, to tell the truth, the island of Taiwan at this time, even for Gao Pragmatic, is of little significance, and to a large extent, he has to send people to Taiwan because of his territorial view.

Not only is he sending people to take a turn, but he is also thinking about how to develop Taiwan and immigrate to Taiwan.

After all, "Taiwan has been an inseparable part of China since ancient times", even if I didn't come, it doesn't matter if I don't have that strength, but since I have come, I have the strength, so I have to sit down on this matter!

Moreover, it is not that Taiwan cannot be developed, this place has not developed until this time, and the main reason is that there are not enough Han people.

As for why there are few Han Chinese, there are two main reasons. One is that the mainland courts of previous dynasties did not pay attention to this wild land - Hainan Island is so close that it has not been developed much, let alone Taiwan Island, which is farther away?

The second is Taiwan's environment, which is still very difficult during this period. The first is heat, at this time, the island of Taiwan is extremely hot and humid, more humid and hot than Guangdong and Guangxi at about the same latitude, even more than Annam, the pirates have no way, they can have a place to live as a nest, and they can't take care of a lot, otherwise who would want to come here.

This is followed by severe tropical diseases. At this time, Taiwan did not go through any development, the trees were tall and the grass was dense, mosquitoes were ravaging, and the miasma was several times more ruthless than that of the two Guangzhous -- after all, the two provinces had been developed for 2,000 years, and Taiwan was still in a primitive state. As for malaria or something, needless to say, this kind of mosquito is almost the size of a child's palm, and malaria is commonplace.

Malaria, even in the 21st century, is a great plague that ravages Africa, the Tatar Qing captive chief Kang Mazi, in a war against Galdan contracted malaria, with his status, he almost died, what good can ordinary people get?

It's easy to occupy Taiwan, but it's hard to defeat malaria, because Gao Pragmatism doesn't have cinchona at hand now, let alone artemisinin, what age does that technology have to be?

Although the mortality rate of malaria is not particularly high in later generations - 400 million people worldwide are infected with malaria every year, and about two to three million die. But you must know that there is cinchona cream in the future, and malaria is not incurable.

However, cinchona cream is said to have been discovered by the Spaniards in South America in the 17th century, through the local Indians, and at least at the end of the 17th century, it was introduced to China, when the bark of cinchona cream was basically used to treat malaria, until 1820, when a Swedish scientist extracted the active ingredient and made a finished product.

In other words, the Spaniards, who have occupied most of the Americas, have not yet gotten cinchona, so where can he find it? Besides, even if he were asked to look for it in South America, he wouldn't be able to find it, because he didn't know what the cinchona tree looked like.

Oh, it's over, it's gone.

It's really a book that I hate when I use it, and no matter how good my brain is, it's not as good as what system people carry around.

Why don't you just go far and think about artemisinin?

Refining that is not expected, can you directly use Artemisia annua - that is, Artemisia annua - okay?

When Ms. Tu Youyou won the Nobel Prize, she reported this matter nationally, and also had a big doxxing of artemisinin, although Gao Pragmatic has always not known much about medicine, but he vaguely remembered that the original source of inspiration for artemisinin was the record of a medical book in ancient China, but unfortunately he didn't remember the title of the book.

But since it is a collection of ancient Chinese books, he now has a big advantage to take advantage of - Li Shizhen was enveloped by him to teach students in Beijing! Such a great character, the great god who can write the "Compendium of Materia Medica", should have heard or read that ancient book.

Since the ancient book has been circulated in later generations, it must not be at least Bian Que's internal and external classics, nor will it be Hua Tuo's "Green Capsule Book", and it is even more unlikely to be lost in the Ming Dynasty.

So Gao Pragmatic specially told Gao Qi not to be ambitious, try to investigate the coastal "sparse forests and few mosquitoes", and strictly prohibit going inland, especially in the dense forests, to die, and wait until he contacts Li Shizhen.

Gao Qi is his family member, and now he is the henchman of "Wang next to the single name", explaining that he is not allowed to go inland, presumably he will not listen, and now he is waiting for Li Shizhen's reply.

However, Gao Pragmatic did not wait for Li Shizhen's reply in Guangxi, because an accident happened.

Well, it's not that Li Shizhen had an accident, it's Gao Pragmatic who had an accident - the emperor's edict, Gao Pragmatic stepped down ahead of schedule, and returned to Beijing to accompany the emperor to pay tribute to the Taimiao with the merit of "re-establishing Annan"!

Worship the temple?

Sacrificing to the Taimiao is not a new thing, and it is not uncommon, for example, Li Chengliang beheaded hundreds of Mongolians in Liaodong, and the Jingshi side also had to sue the Taimiao.

However, the temple is divided into grades, generally speaking, there are three grades: major rituals, middle rituals and group rituals. Li Chengliang's kind belongs to the group worship, that is, the officials do it on their behalf, go to the Taimiao Temple to pay tribute, and signal the descendants to behave well, you old man, look at it, and killed so many Mongolians, do you look at these heads cute?

That's probably what it means.

As for the middle rituals, some of them are the emperor's personal worship, but the emperors of the Ming Dynasty have relatively large shelves, and in fact, most of them still assign officials to worship.

But if it is a big ceremony, then the emperor must go out in person, and the courtiers are not qualified to do it on their behalf.

For example, the four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter every year on the first day of the lunar calendar in the first month of each season, sacrifices must be carried out, and the tablets of various places in the temple must be held to the hall of enjoyment, and the emperor will personally come here to worship the ancestors. It is known as "Simeng Shixiang", referred to as the enjoyment sacrifice, and the seasonal vegetables and fruits are sacrificed to the ancestors. This can't be done for you, as long as the emperor can still move, he has to come in person.

For example, in the simplest example, when the emperor ascends the throne or the emperor's wedding, and the queen is ordained, he must go to the dormitory of the temple to make sacrifices, which is called the sacrifice.

But this time the high pragmatism "re-establish Annan", it seems that for the Ming Dynasty, it is not particularly important, right, this is just the Annan people, not the Mongols, the Ming court does not seem to think highly of the Annan people, how can it be the turn to sacrifice?

Gao Pragmatic was a little puzzled, but Zhang Ren reminded him, Zhang Ren said: "There is no need to worry too much about seeking truth, I think this move of the imperial court is very fair." When I heard that the emperor got the news, he was extremely excited, which shows that the emperor really thinks that this matter is a great achievement, and he is worthy of personally suing the temple.

Secondly, it is the matter of Guangxi Tusi moving the town, you think, before they moved the town, the imperial court was in a dilemma about how to deal with a mere Bazhai land, but once they moved the town to Annan, this Bazhai land was easily changed to dispatch liuguan, and even Zhaoqing's Liu Zhijun did not oppose it again, which shows the importance of this matter. So...... Congratulations on seeking truth, the Sacred Heart is unique! ”
