Now it has reached the fifteenth year of the Apocalypse, after the complete elimination of the Jiannu regime, the Ming Dynasty at this time has no external threat, the empire can continue to advance towards the extreme, and the self-confidence of the people has been greatly improved because of the complete elimination of Jiannu.

At this moment, Zhu Youxiao, the emperor of the Ming Dynasty sitting in the luxury version of the power locomotive, was looking at the bustling crowd in the capital, and in just eight years, the humanistic style of the entire capital has changed greatly.

Because of the introduction of municipal services and modern urban management concepts, the roads in the capital have been widened by several meters, and even the lanes and sidewalks have been divided into emergency military reports and ambulance lanes, and between the roads have also been planted with green plants by the Shuntianfu people, zebra crossings have also been introduced, and overpasses and underground passages have also begun to appear, which is also inevitable with the increase in the number of factories and workshops in the capital caused by the population surge.

On both sides of the road, it is impossible to see horse manure and discarded garbage, nor can you see the indiscriminate construction of the surface buildings, a large number of older people in the nearby county Guozhou Mansion have become the first batch of sanitation workers in the capital of Daming North 0, they are always waiting in the small wooden pavilions specially built for them to monitor the cleanliness of the city at any time.

The Five Cities Terracotta Division has been merged with the public security forces of Shuntianfu, and is fully responsible for the maintenance of law and order in the entire capital, and there are no messy stalls on the avenue near the inner city, which has been divided into residential areas by Shuntianfu, and a large number of stalls and restaurants and inns have been arranged in areas not far from the residential area, and factories and workshops have been moved out of the city, and away from the newly opened reservoir area in Miyun County, it is independently divided into industrial areas. However, because these factories and workshops are the most advanced scientific and technological production centers in the Ming Dynasty and even in the world, the Ministry of Industry and the Shuntianfu have also expanded a section of the impregnable city wall in the industrial zone.

Although it was the scorching sun at this time, Zhu Youxiao, who came out of Chengtianmen, could not feel the dazzling eyes of the sun, and the mansions of the major officials and eunuchs were all hidden under the towering ancient trees that covered the clouds, except for the chirping of cicadas, I could not hear the slightest noise, but I could occasionally hear the bell of the bus and carriage passing by in the inner city, ticking and ticking, it was very crisp and pleasant, and the bell of Chongguo Temple complemented each other.

Because this is the inner city, it is the residence of the central institutions such as the Liubu Yamen and the Guozijian and the dignitaries, it is relatively difficult to see the high density of the population of the super city of the capital, and the buses and carriages in the inner city are only for the convenience of the students of the Guozijian and the Jingshi University Hall, as well as the convenience of the low-level officials of the major yamen to commute to work, sometimes some officials get up late, think that the sedan chair is too slow, and the horseback riding is too conspicuous, and they will also choose to take the bus to the palace.

Zhu Youxiao specially planned to set up a bus stop outside the noon gate of Miyagi, so that now officials can take the bus and carriage directly outside the noon gate, which greatly saves time and prevents them from having to eat breakfast in order to catch up with the morning morning.

However, because the buses in the inner city are almost all taken by the scholars, the interior decoration and external structure are a little more high-end than the buses outside the inner city, and the order will be better, and almost no one wants to stand in the bus.

Of course, there are more private vehicles in the inner city, since Emperor Zhu Youxiao had the first steam-powered locomotive, several scholars and a few nobles in the cabinet have basically one each, but they basically don't come out with this thing every day, because it is too ostentatious, no one knows if it will be seen by which imperial history, and if you are not happy to impeach you, you will be ashamed of it.

After receiving the highway construction funds allocated by the Ministry of Industry, the officials of Shuntianfu obviously did not dare to do anything to improve the roads in the inner city, after all, any random person in this area is bigger than their officials, so the roads in the inner city are already asphalt, and the green plants on both sides of the asphalt road are very well trimmed, and the flowers are full of flowers, and even on major festivals, they will piece together very beautiful auspicious words or things.

It wasn't until Zhu You's school carriage crossed the asphalt road and exited Daming Gate that he could hear the noisy noise and enter the life world of the common people in the capital.

Although it is obviously not as quiet as the inner city, it can be seen that the people at this time are indeed different from eight years ago, and each square has already set up house numbers, and every ten squares have a shop and consumption center, and this concentration is often the most lively place, and it is also the most prone to traffic accidents and criminal disputes, so every such concentration will also have a public security force stationed here.

Zhu Youxiao has almost not seen the ragged people who look like beggars, since the late Ming Dynasty, the world style is the pursuit of prosperity, breaking the shackles of hierarchy, ordinary civilians also love to wear bright and gorgeous clothes, and Zhu Youxiao is not strictly controlled, so now with the further increase of social wealth, these civilians are more in pursuit of luxury, extremely generous, even the old women who are over the age of sixtieth will wear a few pieces of jewelry, the high-end stores opened by the Royal Industrial Company in these places are counted as an endless stream of people come to buy every day.

The large-scale department store market pioneered by Liu Kongzhao, a sincere uncle, has now expanded from Nanjing to Beijing, and even Zhu Youxiao's Dashi Yongfang can see Liu Kongzhao's "Qingtian Department Store" words.

Zhu Youxiao didn't mind this, but he couldn't help but be a little surprised, when Liu Kongzhao asked to go to Beijing to study in Beijing Normal University, Zhu Youxiao didn't know that he wanted to learn from Li Mingrui, Guo Yunhou and others to become a wealth maker in the new era of the Ming Dynasty, and he was interested in abandoning martial arts and literature, and learning from Beijing Normal University.

According to the Dongchang report, this Liu Kongzhao has already established cooperative relations with the major factories and workshops in the capital before leaving the capital, including the Royal Industrial Company and the Royal Weaving Bureau, and first in Jiangling, Qingpu, Wuxi and other rich and large counties and towns in the south of the Yangtze River, and finally directly expanded to Nanjing, and now has expanded to the capital, becoming the first retail giant in the Ming Dynasty. Its wealth has long been rivaled by the riches of the country.

Of course, it also created a lot of taxes for the central court, and also solved the employment problems of many people in various places, so Zhu Youxiao even had to encourage him to continue to expand his business to Xishu, Huguang, Liangguang and even outside the Guan.

Zhu Youxiao did not continue to stay in this area, he had to go to the Royal Academy of Engineering to build a power plant base in the outer city, since Galileo successfully captured the current, Zhu Youxiao has shown great attention to this subject, because once this unexpected Ming Dynasty is about to enter the electric age from the steam power era.

Although in a long period of time, the Ming Dynasty may still be in the era of large-scale application of steam power, steam-powered locomotives still began to popularize on a large scale, steam-powered steamships will also begin to occupy the Ming Ocean and major inland rivers, squeezing the living space of traditional wooden ships, the first train undertaken by the Ordnance Department and the Royal Industrial Company will still use steam power as the main power source, but it is still very possible to realize the application of electricity in the local aspect, after all, once there is a large-scale application of electricity, Higher-end weapons will also have the possibility of manufacturing, the electroplating chemical process will also usher in his golden age, and the steel products made by Daming will not look so low-looking.

However, just when Zhu Youxiao just left Daming City, he happened to pass by the First Royal Hospital, and Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but want to go into the public hospital he ran to investigate.

So, Zhu Youxiao ordered the locomotive to stop, and then entered the First Royal Hospital accompanied by Wang Chengen, the master of ceremonies, and Wu Jin, the head of the East Factory, although Zhu Youxiao and others were wearing civilian clothes, but the people who could afford to use the big chimney locomotive in these years were either rich or noble, so the people who entered and exited the First Royal Hospital consciously kept a distance from Zhu Youxiao and others, and no one would stop them from entering the First Royal Hospital.

The First Royal Hospital is the first large-scale public general hospital in the Ming Dynasty, and it is also the first medical treatment center that combines scientific research and medical treatment.

Due to Zhu Youxiao's special requirements, although most of the Royal First Hospital is in charge of imperial doctors and local famous doctors, they do not pay attention to the nobility of people in terms of diagnosis and treatment and saving people, so that there are never fewer people who come to the Royal First Hospital every day to see patients, and it is precisely because of the increasing number of people who come to the Royal First Hospital to see patients, resulting in an extreme shortage of nurses and doctors in the Royal First Hospital. It will also be able to reserve and train a large number of medical personnel for the First Royal Hospital.

The Royal First Hospital is the house of a former Shangshu, so it covers an area of not small, and the long row of buildings in the front is the diagnostic department, almost a large number of patients will stop here, that is, look and hear, write a prescription to catch the medicine, Zhu Youxiao is not interested in this, he is interested in the scientific research system and disease prevention and control center of the Royal First Hospital, in this era of smallpox and plague and other virulent infectious diseases, the Royal First Hospital not only wants to concentrate the best medical technology of Daming to give patients the greatest protection, It is also responsible for epidemic prevention when the country encounters major infectious diseases.

Wu Youke, the secretary of the Ministry of Health, already knew the news of Zhu Youxiao's sudden visit to the First Royal Hospital at this time, and he hurriedly came to Zhu Youxiao without taking off his white coat: "I don't know that Your Majesty suddenly came, and Weichen missed the welcome, which is really guilty." ”

"Mr. Wu doesn't have to be polite, you are the one who dares to wrestle with the king of Hades, how dare I blame you", Zhu Youxiao respects a famous medical expert like Wu Youke, so he is also called Mr., and in fact, in the entire Ming Dynasty, Wu Youke and Sun Chengzong are still known as Mr. by Zhu Youxiao, not only that, but Wu Youke can be a doctor and a doctor who can directly live in the second grade and be crowned as the prince and young master because of the successful improvement of the smallpox pox method, which undoubtedly greatly encouraged the practitioners, and also made Wu Youke feel flattered.

Wu You didn't dare to joke with Zhu Youxiao, but just smiled, Zhu Youxiao saw that he was still wearing a white coat, if it wasn't for the black veil on his head, he really didn't know that he was a dignified scholar, so he asked, "What are you still busy with?" ”

"Back to Your Majesty, Wei Chen just finished an operation for colic, so he didn't have time to change his clothes", after Wu Youke explained, Zhu Youxiao just nodded and asked him to take him to the scientific research base of the Royal Hospital.

As soon as Zhu Youxiao entered the scientific research base of the First Royal Hospital, he smelled a pungent smell of phenol and the smell of rats, monkeys and other animals.

Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but pinch his nose, and then walked in, and the smell was slightly reduced after bypassing the area where a large number of experimental animals were located, and he could see that many early trained medical technicians were skillfully using the glass syringes in their hands to inject drugs into the mice clamped on the board, or someone directly dissected a rabbit or frog in the dissecting dissection, and said to his assistant that the vagus nerve had been clamped.

When I walked inside, I could even see an old man who had been trained to become a medical and surgical expert in Daming medicine and surgery early on, teaching surgical interns who had graduated from the medical department of Beijing Normal University or the Daming medical science hall how to surgically remove colic.

On the third floor, Zhu Youxiao could even directly see some corpses or other specimens that had already been processed by formalin and displayed in the surrounding mallets, except for Zhu Youxiao, Wang Chengen and Wu Jin couldn't help but feel nauseous and uncomfortable, and tears were stimulated by the strong smell of formaldehyde, and Zhu Youxiao was born in medicine in his previous life, so he could bear it, and even personally suggested to Wu Youke how to better conduct medical experiments, and prepare for him to suddenly encounter a large plague in the future.

Wu Youke could only hurriedly say yes.

But who knows, just when Zhu Youxiao wanted to go to see the Disease Prevention and Control Center and the intensive care unit of the First Hospital of the Ming Emperor again, a doctor from the First Royal Hospital, who was also wearing a white coat, ran directly to Wu Youke: "Lord Wu, the big thing is not good, yesterday outside the city, a traveling doctor named Zhang Tianhua accidentally found a person suddenly fainted on the ground, trembling all over, but his forehead was hot, so he was treated, who knew that the person was not saved, and the traveling doctor and his accompanying slaves also followed the diarrhea, and now it has infected more than ten people!" The soldiers who defended the city rushed to Shuntianfu, and the people stationed in the outer city of Dongchang brought the news to us, do you think we will save it or not? ”

"Manage, must be managed, but this is likely to be a precursor to the epidemic, don't take it lightly, pass the order, and all the doctors in the plague monitoring room will immediately rush to the outer city with this official!"

Wu Youke took off his white coat as he spoke, and was about to run back to change into epidemic prevention clothes first, so he saluted Zhu Youxiao and said: "The incident happened suddenly, Weichen can only retire first, snubbing Your Majesty, and hoping that Your Majesty Haihan!" ”

"Go, don't worry about me, just be careful, listen to this symptom, I'm afraid that the plague in Shanxi is beginning to spread into Beijing, you must pay great attention to it, go with my gold medal, if necessary, you can temporarily mobilize all the forces in the capital to help you prevent this matter from expanding, causing great harm to the people of the capital!"

Zhu Youxiao said that he gave the gold medal to Wu Youke, and ordered Wu Jin, the head of the Dongchang Factory, to personally go to several counties where the plague occurred in Shanxi to see how the local magistrates dealt with it, which made the epidemic uncontrollable and had the tendency to spread to the capital, because Zhu Youxiao had already issued an order to these local officials who had plague in the territory to let them strengthen their vigilance, no matter who could only enter and not leave, but unexpectedly, the possible phenomenon of plague still appeared in the capital.
