Chapter 267: Cat and Mouse? The Black Death was terrible

The Northeast region was able to be self-sufficient, and even feed back to the Central Plains, which should have been in the twentieth century.

On the one hand, the crisis in the northeastern frontier was unprecedentedly strong, and the Qing court had to ban land reclamation; On the other hand, the Central Plains region broke out in the "Ding Wu famine", Shandong, Zhili, Henan, Shanxi and other areas suffered a severe drought, and a large number of victims from North China poured into the Northeast.

Due to the long distance to Kanto at that time, it was called "Kanto".

This is history, but Zhu Youxiao, who is familiar with the trend of history, how could he make the stupid mistake of the Manchu Qing Dynasty?

After the pacification of Liaodong, a large amount of land was given to retired officers and soldiers in Liaodong, preferential taxation was given to the people of Liaoning, and land reclamation was encouraged.

Some people will say that during the Xiaoice period, the northeast is colder and more unsuitable for human survival. Then Zhu Youxiao wondered, the Outer Mongolian tribes in the northeast and Russia, they all died of cold and starvation?

Obviously, the impact of the Xiaoice period is enormous, but it is not insurmountable, or overcome. What is more terrible than natural disasters is man-made disasters, and Zhu Youxiao has a clear understanding of this.

Several people drank tea and chatted, both laughing and learning, and the atmosphere was both harmonious and warm.

Although the Academy of Sciences is still in the city, the chemistry laboratory has moved to the suburbs. Zhu Youxiao was afraid that some people would make some poisonous and harmful toys and even make a big explosion.

In addition, the noisy manufacturing department, which requires a lot of operating space, has also moved away, making the academy a lot quieter because there are not many students.

Despite this, there are still some students who come to sit down and drink tea and talk.

This is also the rule of the Academy of Sciences approved and implemented by Zhu Youxiao, this generous hall is like a relaxing teahouse, a salon for gatherings, where everyone talks and discusses when they have nothing to do.

Zhu Youxiao has been to the Academy of Sciences very limited times, and he doesn't know many students, but Wang Jizhong and others have already spread his reputation.

Shen Lang Shen Gongzi is very knowledgeable, and the textbooks we learn are all compiled by others. Not to mention what kind of guidance and help there are behind it, but people do have talent to learn, known as "can't ask".

Zhu Youxiao really didn't know that Xu Fuyuan and the others had blown themselves into the sky, and he was proud and proud of having a friendship with Shen Gongzi.

"This is Shen Gongzi, so young?"

"Judging by his extraordinary demeanor, his background must be either rich or noble."

Some admire, some discuss, and of course, some ask questions.

Zhu Youxiao's face is kind and Xi, and he must answer any questions, and these people's questions are still difficult for him, don't make any quantum and relativity theory.

Fan Xiaohui, who was standing behind her, was surprised at first, she didn't expect the emperor to know so much, but she had never told them. Later, her face was colorful, and she felt that she was very honored to be a maid.

"Everything in the world has its own reason, some of which have been studied and understood, and some of which still need to be explored." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "For example, pulling a cart or pushing a cart, which saves effort, and why does it save effort?" By extension, it is also a science. ”

"That's physics." Xu Fuyuan and Fan Xiaohui have the same idea, the more talented Shen Lang is, the more light his face is, "I don't know if I don't study it, but when I study it, I find that it is a deep knowledge like the sea, and it is not enough for a lifetime." ”

Not to mention your life, even hundreds of years later, scientists are still studying.

Zhu Youxiao smiled and bowed his head, agreeing with this. What makes him even more gratifying is that he has laid the foundation of natural science for the Ming Dynasty, and the dissemination and development of knowledge should not be interrupted.

"The food here is good, Brother Shen would like to taste it?" Wang Jizhong was very expectant to invite him, and glanced at Fan Xiaohui imperceptibly.

Zhu Youxiao smiled, waved his hand and said, "Then there is no need." It's hard to have leisure in the next place, and today is an exception, and I have never been out for so long. ”

As he spoke, he got up and arched his hand towards everyone, and said, "I'm sorry, Shen is entangled in mundane affairs, and now he is about to leave." Next time, I will talk to you about the world and discuss knowledge. ”

"Shen Gongzi is polite, you can be called a virtuous person, listen to your words, we have all benefited a lot."

"I really want to ask a few more questions, Shen Gongzi's answers are clearer than the teaching in the academy."

Everyone said goodbye, and there was inevitably a compliment.

Wang Jizhong and Xu Fuyuan sent the emperor to the gate of the courtyard, and they were very reluctant to say goodbye.

The emperor walked to the streets of Jingshi again, and the maid who was slightly behind was the maid, her big eyes fanning suddenly, and from time to time she cast her thoughtful gaze on the emperor.

A dark shadow suddenly burst out from a corner not far away, and soon disappeared into an alley.

"It's a cat." Fan Xiaohui's eyes were very sharp, and when she saw that the emperor had stopped, she hurriedly explained.

"The cat caught a mouse." Zhu Youxiao could also see that it was a cat, but he also saw that the cat was holding a living creature in its mouth, and he couldn't help frowning.

Fan Xiaohui was not so surprised, it is not natural for cats to scratch mice. In order to prevent mice, raising cats is the most common way.

But she didn't know what the emperor had in mind, it was a great plague associated with a great disaster, and the saying that "rats kill the light" was not entirely unreasonable.

History: At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the plague swept through northern China, and the death toll in the capital alone reached one-fifth. When Li Zicheng attacked, Jingshi was almost a dead city where "people and ghosts were mixed, and people did not dare to do it at dusk".

The catastrophe is followed by the pandemic, and this should be the unchanging law. Under current medical and hygienic conditions, can the outbreak of the plague be stopped?

The emperor's brow furrowed, and he suddenly found that he had to face a bigger problem than frequent disasters and food shortages.

Ecological destruction, abnormal climate, and the scattering of hungry people have led to the ravages of strange plagues that are "unavailable in ancient and modern books".

When it comes to the bubonic plague, no one may think it is terrible, but when it comes to the Black Death, more than 25 million Xiyi died in the Middle Ages.

Vaccines, special drugs or something, Zhu Youxiao is not hopeful. He is not a medical professional, and he did not have the conditions to develop it in ancient times.

Fan Xiaohui didn't know why, the emperor was fine, but when he saw the cat and mouse, he became worried, and he had a gloomy face all the way back to the palace, and he didn't speak anymore.

Our cats don't catch mice, they're clean! I had the heart to make a joke to let the emperor go, but the girl still didn't dare.

When the emperor returned to the Qianqing Palace, he didn't pass the meal, so he sat in the imperial chair and frowned and thought. This time, he had a big problem, a big difficulty that was very difficult to solve.

But he had to think of a way, not completely prevented, not completely cured, but at least not so many people died. More than 10 million, ten rooms and nine empty, the family is dead, it is too miserable to see.

With a grunt, he interrupted the emperor's sorrow, and when he turned his head, he saw Fan Xiaohui with a red cloud on his face.

"Pass the meal!" The emperor smiled bitterly and raised his hand to command.
