Chapter 273: Criticism

After the marshal's palace was lifted, Li Kang did not completely relax, and if he didn't figure out one thing, his heart would not be happy, and he would be like a thorn in his throat.

That is: how could smallpox suddenly appear in the Marshal's Mansion?

If he doesn't figure out this problem, Li Kang's mind is not clear, and he is worried that similar sources of infection will appear in other places, and this is a great hidden danger before the cowpox technique cannot be practically applied.

However, after a series of observations and verifications, a group of famous doctors can only provide a general answer, and the source is estimated to be a batch of edible domestic animals collected by the Marshal's Mansion before the smallpox outbreak.

Of course, they can't be 100% guaranteed.

Whether it is or not, it does not prevent Li Kang from being angry with them, and he has no leisure to look for evidence, even if he does, he can't find it, so the fate of this batch of livestock can be imagined.

At his command, all the remaining livestock in the Marshal's Mansion that had not been slaughtered were slaughtered and buried, which could be regarded as an early relief. However, the pastures and breeding farms that provided these livestock suffered and were ordered to kill rather than let go of the mistakes and be ruthlessly cleaned, which can be described as heavy losses, which really made the situation of China's tight food supply worse.

In fact, the economic loss is not the most heart-wrenching for the managers of these ranches and farms, the downmotion of official ranks, and even being pushed to the end is the most painful thing for them, although everyone knows that they are innocent, and Li Kang also knows, but there is no way, this is the official rule all along, and someone has to take the blame if something happens.

Li Kang has died of his wife and son, so embarrassed to let him carry it?

In fact, the most unlucky is the deputy finance minister Zhang Yong, this guy has angered Li Kang more than once before, and this time he bumped into Li Kang who was in a rage, and was directly demoted by Li Kang by five levels, from the three-grade pillar country to the six-grade regiment training envoy, and sent to the newly established Chenggong County as the county commander.

Chenggong County, the seventh county-level administrative unit in Huaxia, was upgraded from the original Chenggong Town, under the jurisdiction of Chenggong Town and the newly established Zhilong Town in the north of the island (the thirty-sixth town-level administrative unit in Huaxia, the name of the town is taken from the late Ming Dynasty pirate Zheng Zhilong, one of the eighteen Zhi, the father of Zheng Chenggong), Island Dongzhihu Town (the thirty-seventh town-level administrative unit in China, the name of the town is taken from the late Ming Dynasty pirate Zheng Zhihu, one of the eighteen Zhi), the jurisdiction is the entire Chenggong Island, and the county governs Chenggong Town.

Finding and determining the source of the smallpox virus is a big deal, but another thing is actually more important in Li Kang's mind than the degree of attention.

Looking at the famous doctors who seemed to have seen a ghost, Li Kang secretly said that he was dizzy, why did he shout and roar without using his brain? How could this kind of thing be told to these famous doctors who were hanging pots to help the world and were virtuous and pure? Li Kang was not sprayed to death, it was entirely because of the layer of sovereign aura on his body.

What did Li Kang say?

It turned out that after experiencing this smallpox attack, Li Kang suddenly had a 'whimsical' idea after recovering from the pain.

In the Old World, he remembered reading a book that said that after the European colonists landed in the Americas, they also intentionally or unintentionally brought ashore germs that were not found in the Americas, including smallpox, so that the number of Indians on the American continent plummeted by ninety percent in just a hundred years or a few hundred years...

The myth of the destruction of the Inca Empire by hundreds of people that the Spanish Duck has been preaching seems to have come from this way.

Li Kang thinks that as a junior, should we learn from the successful experience of the predecessors? It seems that the population of Hedong and Hexi is a bit large, which is extremely unfavorable for future annexation, and the 'policy of reducing the number of people's capitals' that can be implemented now is very tempting!

Then Li Kang impatiently convened a group of experts to discuss the possibility of display.

So, he was embarrassed!

He underestimated the discipline of this group of famous people in the apricot forest who took it as their mission to help the world and save the people, and this kind of behavior that hurt nature and reason, and the policy full of evil almost washed away their three views.

Indeed, this does not conform to the traditional concept of the Chinese people, and is contrary to the 'benevolence' that the Chinese people have always believed in.

If it weren't for Li Kang is king, these angry and straightforward famous doctors would have smoked him directly on the soles of their shoes!

"Uh... I, that, cough cough, just kidding, don't take it seriously, haha, joke, joke, don't take it too seriously, any of you who is angry and ruined, that's my Huaxia loss. Li Kang explained with some weakness.

"Your Majesty, this joke is not funny at all!" Hua Tuo said with a serious face.

"Yes, yes..."Li Kang nodded with a smile, indicating that he was taught.

"And, you don't joke, your words and deeds are the object of emulation by all the people, the code of conduct of all the people, I hope that the king will think twice about everything in the future, don't make this kind of joke again, this not only damages the name of the king's benevolence, but also a blow to the prestige of the king. Zhang Zhongjing followed closely and said seriously.

"Yes, yes..."Li Kang continued to smile humbly and nodded.

"Your Majesty hopes that the joke you say is true. Huaxia is a country of etiquette, and this kind of evil thing that hurts heaven and harmony cannot be done. Dong Feng took the baton and continued to fire.

"Yes, yes..."Li Kang's face froze. In his heart, he is like eating yellow bile, a bitter stroke, but although he has a lot of shortcomings, the advantage of respecting technical talents is worthy of everyone's praise, especially technical talents with both ability and political integrity, Li Kang is especially conniving, just like these famous doctors who 'sprayed his wheels' on the scene, Li Kang is only helpless, not angry at all.

Although Sun Simiao and Ge Hong participated in the criticism, from their two black faces, Li Kang also knew that these two were also angry, especially Sun Simiao, if Li Kang's attitude of admitting his mistake today was not sincere enough, this 'uncle' who was not afraid of the powerful would not be able to directly throw off his sleeves and find a place to cultivate immortals.

In the end, for the sake of Li Kang's sincere repentance, these old men forgave him and were willing to leave, but when they left, they chattered while walking, which made Li Kang's smiling face accompany him from the conference room of the political hall to the gate of the political hall.

Li Kang breathed a sigh of relief from the bottom of his heart, and said with a wry smile: "It's really lifting a stone to shoot yourself in the foot, digging a pit and burying yourself!"

"Without Tang Taizong, there would be no famous minister Wei Zheng. Thanks to the king's kindness and tolerance, and not asking for sin, the ministers dared to speak out. Fang Yizhi complimented at the right time. When Li Kang said the plan just now, he was also startled, as a disciple of the family, it was disgusting in his heart, but he had to admire Li Kang's heart, if he was an ordinary monarch, he was scolded by a group of people pointing at his nose, and the spittle stars were sprayed on his face, and he would have pulled them out to chop and chop and feed the dogs.
