Zheng Zhilong rushed to the capital for nearly two months, but he only stayed in the capital for seven days and turned back directly.

In the past seven days, he had to go to the palace almost every day to meet the saints, and he stayed for most of the day, and no one knew what was discussed.

Others only know that Zheng Zhilong only brought dozens of servants to escort him when he came, but when he left, he was escorted back to Fujian by Luo Yangxing and two thousand elite guards in brocade clothes.

In addition to Zheng Zhilong, these brocade guards escorted more than a dozen large boxes of things, as for what was inside, no one knew and no one could find out.

It's just that the palace is now completely under the control of Lao Zhu, and no one dares to divulge any news to the outside world, so not many people know about it.

Zheng Zhilong came and left in a low-key manner, except for some people who had a heart, no one took this matter to heart at all.

No one can know that Zheng Zhilong's departure will bring earth-shaking changes to Fujian and Guangdong, and no one knows that the Ming Navy, which will be invincible in the world in the future, has quietly unveiled the prelude from this moment.

At the moment when Zheng Zhilong left the capital, Lao Zhu, who was in the palace, also received a prompt tone.

[Congratulations to the host for successfully making Zheng Zhilong return to his heart, slightly changing the history of the Ming Dynasty, and issuing a reward of 10,000 simoleons.] 】

"Ten thousand simoleons?"

After Lao Zhu heard the sound of this reward, his eyes couldn't help but narrow slightly.

He knew the ability of the simulator, and since the simulator had issued a prompt at this moment, it meant that Zheng Zhilong had indeed been sincerely attached before.

And this hint also allowed Lao Zhu to affirm that his choice was not wrong, and overseas is indeed the only way for Daming to expand in the future.

It's just that how to use these 10,000 simoleons makes Lao Zhu a little puzzled.

Because this emulator except for the last time that Tiangong Kaiwu can be bought, there seems to be no place to use this simoleon.

Lao Zhu tried it a few times in his mind and found that there were many books that could be bought with this simulator, including the lost Liutao, Lianshan, Taiping Yaoshu and Qingbao Book......

And the price of these books, which is not very high, is a uniform hundred simoleons, and it seems that in the eyes of the simulator, all books are of equal value.

It's just that Lao Zhu didn't choose to change these famous books, because this thing is not very helpful to him now, so he plans to keep these simulators and wait until he returns to the early Ming Dynasty to see if he can use these simoleons to buy something else.

If at the end of the day there is really nothing to buy, it's not too late to think about buying these lost books.

And just when Lao Zhu was having fun experimenting, a person suddenly came to the palace that made Lao Zhu unexpected.

Lao Zhu looked at Wang Chengen, who came to report, and was a little stunned, "You said that Sun Chuanting sent Wu Youke here?" ”

Wu Youke, his real name is Wu Youxing, and the word is okay.

According to Lao Zhu's understanding in history, at the end of the Ming Dynasty, plague was rampant, Shaanxi, Hebei, Henan, Shandong and other places, and even Beijing, Nanjing, Zhejiang and other places were not spared.

At the height of this plague, nine out of ten households in one county died, and more than 100 families in one lane, none of them were spared, and there were dozens of families in one family, and none of them survived.

In Luzhou Prefecture, where the plague was most severe, the dead accounted for ninety percent of the total population, and the people were desperate, and the bustling streets were like quiet nights, and no one walked.

However, the plague in Beijing has not yet begun to break out for the time being, according to the time, the plague in Beijing will only begin to break out in February of the sixteenth year of Chongzhen, that is, in February next year.

According to the literature, the small households along the streets in the capital are covered by five or six out of ten, and the children of the neighborhood are extinct, there are coffins without coffins, nine doors are counted, and more than 200,000 are also.

As for the Jingying in Gongwei Capital, due to the relatively dense population gathering, there were countless deaths.

If it weren't for the 16-year epidemic in Chongzhen, how could Li Zicheng have conquered Beijing so simply.

After all, the Jiannu army had not come to the capital once or twice before, and each time it was unable to help the capital.

And Li Zicheng's strength is not stronger than Jiannu, or even worse than Jiannu, how can he be able to conquer the capital in such a short time.

It is nothing more than because of the epidemic in the capital, and countless soldiers and people have died from the epidemic, so Li Zicheng has picked up a big bargain.

To be honest, Lao Zhu has never seen such a violent epidemic, and he has never even heard of it.

So when he saw these histories, Lao Zhu was not only afraid of the epidemic, but also sighed, Daming really had a feeling that he had run out of energy.

As for Chongzhen, he is really an out-and-out unlucky guy, and he can catch up with this matter.

To tell the truth, Lao Zhu had thought of directly exterminating Jiannu with ruthless moves, and he had the idea of fighting this plague.

As long as some things infected by the plague are thrown into Jiannu's hometown outside the Guan, with the intensity of this plague, as long as someone is infected, Jiannu will inevitably be greatly damaged.

It's just that Lao Zhu thought about it later, and then he forgot it again, because things didn't come to that point.

And this method is too lacking in morality, plus this plague is too fierce, Lao Zhu is worried that if he can push it, if he can't control it at that time, it will be over if he retaliates against Daming.

Therefore, this idea was just passed in Lao Zhu's mind for a while, after all, he had not yet reached the end of the mountain, and Jiannu was not a big problem for him, so there was no need to use such a dangerous means.

Wu Youke was a physician in the late Ming Dynasty, and he wrote the book "On the Plague" based on his research on the plague, and to a certain extent, played a role in curbing the plague.

In the history books read by Lao Zhu, there is a part of the record that Wu Youke helped Sun Chuanting stop the plague in the army, and he highly respected Wu Youke's plague theory in and out of the words.

It is precisely because of this that Lao Zhu will pay attention to this person, and even specially told Sun Chuanting to let Sun Chuanting leave him in the army to solve the plague, and then send people to the capital after it is solved.

But now it's only been two months, and even if a soldier really catches the plague, Wu Youke can't cure it so quickly.

So when he heard that Wu Youke was sent over by Sun Chuanting's people, he was a little puzzled.

"Yes, Hooray."

Wang Chengen bowed down and said: "Inspector Sun said that the army was not infected with the plague, and he was worried that His Majesty would be of great use to use Wu, so he directly sent someone to send him back. ”

"This Sun Chuanting ......"

Lao Zhu shook his head helplessly, Sun Chuanting obviously didn't take the plague to heart, so he sent Wu Youke over so casually.

But forget it, just send it, and let the imperial doctor find Wu Youke to learn how to stop the plague when I go back, and then send a few imperial doctors to Sun Chuanting.

"Let him in."

"Yes."

Wang Chengen nodded, and not long after going out, he brought a middle-aged man wearing a Confucian robe and a weak Wenwen over.

"Grass people Wu Youke, I have seen Your Majesty."

Wu Youke served as a royal doctor in the palace back then, but the phenomenon of fighting for power and profit in the hospital was too serious, and Wu Youke didn't like that kind of atmosphere, so he simply resigned and returned to his hometown to become a traveling doctor.

Therefore, he is still very familiar with the etiquette in the palace, but what he doesn't understand is why the emperor summoned him from Shaanxi all the way, he didn't do anything.

"Let's be flat."

For an ordinary doctor like Wu Youke, Lao Zhu didn't put on the emperor's shelf at all, and he was extremely approachable, "We came to you because of the current plague in the Ming Dynasty." ”

"This plague, too many people have died, we heard that you wrote a plague theory, which can contain the plague, so we want you to cure this plague."

"Plague theory?"

When Wu Youke heard this word, he was instantly stunned, he had collected a lot of information about the plague, and even did a lot of research.

But he didn't come up with the results, let alone compile a book.

So he looked at Lao Zhu at a loss for a while, and then said a little nervously: "Your Majesty, the grass people are studying the plague, and they are still ...... I haven't found any results yet. ”

"As for the plague theory, the grass people have never heard of it, let alone compiled a book."

"Is your message ......"

Wu Youke didn't dare to say anything more when he said this, and lowered his head a little worriedly, not daring to say that Lao Zhu's news was wrong.

"Huh? Haven't heard of it? ”

When Lao Zhu heard this, his eyes widened and he looked at Wu Youke, and he was also a little confused.

What is the situation, doesn't it mean that the plague theory was written by Wu Youke? Why hadn't he heard of it? Is Secretary Shi wrong?

Lao Zhu was stunned for a while, and then he remembered that he seemed to ...... When did Wu Youke's plague theory come out in the history books?

Could it be that at this point in time, Wu Ke has not yet written the plague theory?

Thinking of this possibility, Lao Zhu suddenly had a toothache, and called someone early, which made a fuss.

But Lao Zhu didn't have time to wait, now that the plague was so serious, it could spread to the capital at any time, even if he could wait, the plague would not be able to wait for him.

So Lao Zhu thought about it for a while, and directly gritted his teeth and spent one hundred and fifty simulation points to buy an annotated version of the Plague Theory.

After buying it, the plague theory, like that history book, appeared directly on Lao Zhu's table, Lao Zhu picked up this plague theory and handed it to Wu Youke, and said:

"You take a look at this first."

"Plague theory?"

Wu Youke opened this beautifully printed book of Plague Theory, subconsciously opened it and flipped through it for a while, only to find that the content in it coincided with his point of view, and even most of the places were quoted from his data, and on the top of the book, the signature was also him, which looked the same as what he wrote.

The only thing that puzzled him was that there were many annotations in this treatise on plagues, pointing out some of his mistakes and some better ways to deal with them.

"This ...... This plague theory? ”

After Wu Youke looked at it for a while, he remembered that the emperor was still waiting for him, so he quickly raised his head and said in shock: "Your Majesty, although this book looks like it was written by the minister, the minister really has never written this thing." ”

"That's what you wrote, but maybe you'll write it in the future."

Lao Zhu didn't mean to take the credit of Wu Youke, and said directly: "This is the book given to us by the great grandfather, saying that you wrote it, so you don't have to worry, just look at the things, you can use it." ”

Lao Zhu now finds that the excuse of his manifestation is really useful, so once something is difficult to explain, he directly pushes it to his manifestation.

If anyone dares to disagree, then directly let them die in the imperial tomb like Guang Shiheng, and let them go to the underworld to ask if they are really manifested.
