In October of the 11th year of Wanli, Jingshi.

Reva dark scroll, the Forbidden City is full of gold.

The edge of the liquid pool is also dyed in layers.

And in the dense forest by the Taiye Pond, Zhu Yijun, who was taking a walk, glanced at the cinchona cream presented by Li Shizhen.

Cinchona cream, also known as quinine, was ordered by Zhu Yijun to be a pharmacist in the inner court, and he asked Jin Xuezeng, the governor of Fujian, to raise the cinchona tree from overseas and Liu Bin, the secretary of Fujian City, to find a way to get cinchona trees from overseas, and to make medicines from lime and other medicines.

This drug is effective in treating falciparum malaria, which is endemic in the tropics.

"Has it been delivered to Yunnan and Guangdong?"

Zhu Yijun glanced at it and asked about Li Shizhen.

Li Shizhen replied: "I sent it, and according to the emperor's instructions, let their accompanying medical officers work with the malaria prescriptions for treating cold and heat in "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription". ”

Zhu Yijun nodded after hearing this.

The main ingredient in the treatment of malaria in "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription" is artemisinin, which is the treatment experience of Chinese civilization for malaria.

Cinchona cream was originally a treatment method for the Indian civilization to suffer from malaria in the tropical environment for a long time.

But the two will develop drug resistance after a long time, and they will also have a miraculous effect on different malaria, so Zhu Yijun asked Li Shizhen to let the military medical officer remember to use it.

"How did the Secretary of State discuss the establishment of the medical department and the reform of the medical registration system in the Tai Hospital?"

At this time, Zhu Yijun suddenly asked Li Shizhen about something else.

Li Shizhen replied: "As His Majesty instructed in the past, the medical registration system will be reformed into a medical system, specifically: first, non-medical people and children of the clan are allowed to practice medicine; Second, if a practitioner wants to obtain a doctor's qualification, he or she must go through a medical officer examination; The third is that the doctors and the civil and military people, enjoy the food of the imperial court, according to the medical level to enjoy the food ranging from three buckets a month to six buckets, and it can be seen that the official does not worship, and can apply to the official office for the compilation of pharmacopoeia and medical code and the development of new drugs and other official funds. ”

"That's good."

"But don't restrict doctors who have not obtained medical qualifications from practicing medicine, and simply treat them as quack cults!"

As Zhu Yijun spoke, he instructed Zhang Hong: "Spread my words to the cabinet." ”

Reforming the medical system of the Ming Dynasty is something Zhu Yijun has been doing for a long time, starting from when he asked Li Shizhen to set up a medical center to train orphans sent by the imperial court officials as doctors.

The most important thing in Daming is people.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun gave Li Shizhen a lot of orphans to train and screen at one time, and now he has also screened out a few good medical seedlings, who have been arranged as medical officers, serving in the army or the palace, and opening government-run medical centers in various places.

Most of the orphans who were trained simply became general medical staff, taking care of these people and continuing their education.

"How did I ask you to use the microscope I gave you to look at puddles?"

Zhu Yijun suddenly asked Li Shizhen about something else.

Li Shizhen's eyebrows couldn't hide her excitement, and she hurriedly replied: "I'm quite shocked!" Presumably, the diseases caused by raw water are caused by small things that can only be seen by a microscope, not just evil spirits. ”

Zhu Yijun smiled slightly: "You observe more, I will give you a book of my own observations and summaries, and you will summarize and summarize by yourself, and strive to find out the characteristics and possible pathogenic mechanisms of these small microorganisms, which may be conducive to the development of medicine in this dynasty." ”

Li Shizhen said yes.

In addition to food production and scientific and technological level, what affects the survival and expansion of a civilization is the ability to adapt to bacteria.

A bubonic plague wiped out the civilization of the European Middle Ages.

Smallpox also made the Indians even more vulnerable to European invasions.

If Daming wants to solve the problem of growing teeth through external expansion, his understanding of hygiene must also improve, at least to know the existence of bacteria.

Historically, because of the severe impact of the plague, which led to the accelerated collapse of the northern economy, the Chongzhen Dynasty of the Ming Dynasty, which could not quickly solve the internal and external troubles, was because of the epidemic of the plague in the north, so that the famous doctor Wu Ke at that time began to have a preliminary understanding of the infection of viruses and bacteria, and therefore wrote the "Treatise on the Warm Epidemic", so that the plague did not have a greater impact in the early Qing Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun did not dare to ignore the impact of bacteria and viruses on the national strategy.

Autumn is the time when the autumn leaves are in full bloom.

The Ming Empire is gathering a large army in the south to destroy Burma, and it is also gradually turning Dongying into the land of Han civilization in the east, and is also building a large number of lookout platforms and post roads to the north.

But these are the bureaucrats underneath who are carrying them out.

On the contrary, after setting the tone and national policy, he, the emperor, had nothing to do, and could only play his role as an emperor in such small things as making cinchona cream and improving the understanding of germs among the imperial medical staff.

However, this is not the result that Zhu Yijun wants.

After all, the country is not his stage alone.

It is impossible for him to do everything himself, and even interfere with where a new car cannon made by the Ordnance Bureau should be placed.

Let alone.

If he really wants to personally command the army, and even play conspiracy with the local gentry and powerful people, and coordinate them and their clans to be consistent with each other in military affairs, he may not be as good as the civil and military officials of this era, and of course there is no need.

If the bureaucrats do not do a good job, they can be replaced.

If his emperor makes a mistake, he can't be replaced, right?

Zhu Yijun began to set the tone after Zhang Juzheng's death, to show the bureaucrats his attitude, to see the fate of not approaching the cliff and even secretly making stumbling blocks such as Xu Jie, Zhang Siwei, and seeing the outcome of Zhang Juzheng and other reformist civil servants after seeking the country, that is, to let the bureaucrats of the world know that although the lord of the people lives above the nine heavens, he does not know who is a loyal minister, and he also knows what the world should be like.

And himself, as an official, has to make achievements if he wants to be a supreme minister.

It can be said that Zhu Yijun did all this so that today, the upper and lower bureaucrats and the people who make up this country can operate according to his vision.

Now his goal has basically been achieved.

His bureaucrats did not disappoint him either.

Such as Wang Xijue.

According to Wang Xijue's report that he hurriedly returned to Beijing after inspecting the sea trade, Zhu Yijun knew that Wang Xijue obviously negotiated very well with the Guangdong bureaucrats and gentry in Guangzhou, and in the end there was indeed no assassination by local forces.

Moreover, after Wang Xijue consulted with these Cantonese bureaucrats and gentry, in his own recital, he also asked the imperial court to adjust the tax details of the Guangdong City Shipping Division, in which he proposed to charge an average tariff of 100 and 30 per cent for the goods of the merchant ships of his country, and a tariff of 50 per cent on the goods of the Yi ships.

It can be said that the tariff is much higher than that of the previous Guangdong City!

Of course, this is nothing compared to the business interests of coming to Ho Ho and Canton from India and from Ho and Canton to Japan.

You must know that in this era, the trade route from India to Daming Guangdong, and then from Daming Guangdong to Japan is one of the most profitable trade routes, and the profit of most goods is more than 100%.

Zhu Yijun was very satisfied with this, he not only saw Wang Xijue's ability, but also achieved the goal of rectifying the maritime trade in Guangdong and dealing with the invasion of Haojing Waiyi.

Therefore, Zhu Yijun also used his contribution to quelling the invasion of Xiyi, and was awarded the title of Young Master of Wang Xijue, and was promoted to a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion, and Yin Yizi was a prisoner of the country, and the rest of the Wenchen generals who participated in this matter were also rewarded.

Even the first assistant Shen Shixing also added Zuozhu Guo because of the recommendation of Wang Xijue.

Because sending Wang Xijue to Guangdong was arranged by Shen Shixing.

Zhu Yijun didn't seem to be a very useful emperor from beginning to end, but he just trusted and rewarded him, and he didn't even choose who to arrange to be in charge of something.

But isn't this what Zhang Juzheng really wants to achieve after ten years of hard work and his willingness to protect Zhang Juzheng's remnants by exterminating the three clans?
