Chapter 281: Different Paths to the Same End

Looking back at the various achievements of this Arabia, Kong Ming suddenly remembered what Confucius said.

Threesome, there must be my teacher.

This is all too appropriate for Arabia.

Living in the east and west half, with the learning of Rome and the skills of China, it will eventually build a strong country and inherit it for hundreds of years.

If you want to study science, it is important to focus on learning and teaching, but it is also important to communicate with each other.

Just like the Ming Dynasty that the younger generations sighed several times, if it weren't for the forbidden sea, it might still be difficult to escape the doom of destruction in the end, but I think it can at least extend the national honor for a hundred years, right?

Shaking his head to discard these unrealistic ideas, Kong Ming copied the so-called medical dogma upright.

Although it is a medical dogma, Kong Ming can also see at a glance that its rigorous steps can also be used in all aspects of engineering, governance, and governance.

And Zhang Zhongjing on the side naturally didn't need to say much, Kong Ming looked over and saw that the old man's eyes narrowed happily.

Facing Kong Ming's gaze, Doctor Zhang said generously:

"Before, I still loved the stability of Chengdu, and I was afraid of the thousands of miles away from Shu."

"Now it seems that even if it is 5,000 miles out of Sichuan, this road should be walked diligently."

These words made the hall laugh, and Kong Ming couldn't help but laugh.

I understand in my heart that the light curtain was talked about in general terms before, and very few people talked about medicine.

After a year of operation in Chengdu, it can be said that it has a new look, and the climate is much more comfortable than the bitter cold in the north, so it is understandable that the old doctor is reluctant to leave.

It's just that I didn't expect that Izukawa's first light curtain not only became one of the protagonists of the roll call, but the words of the medical Tao were even better than before.

And this medical dogma, for Doctor Zhang to write "Treatise on Typhoid Fever and Miscellaneous Diseases", I am afraid that it is no less than a long drought and a rainy day, so the eyes that are rare to smile are gone.

In the joyful atmosphere, Jian Yong's face was slightly bitter.

He had previously said that he would like to go to Rome when the world is peaceful, but according to the light curtain, the rebellion in Rome is not lost to the Han Dynasty.

If we wait for the world to set off in peace, wouldn't we abandon stability and go to trouble?

But now that he knows Rome, if he doesn't go to Rome, Jian Yong is really unwilling, and he is in a dilemma for a while.

……

In the Ganlu Palace, everyone who is familiar with the history from the end of the Han Dynasty to the Sui Dynasty looked at the troubled times of the Roman Empire in the distance, and they were also very angry for a while.

"The climate is like a snap of a finger, and the empire has collapsed for a hundred years." Fang Xuanling was stunned.

For Lao Fang, the scenery of the stars in the universe seen from the future generations is unforgettable in this life.

And the more I think about it, the more I lament the insignificance of human beings, and it is even more the same now.

From the Han Dynasty to the Two Jin Dynasty, how much colder did the climate get? Although there is no specific record, it can also be glimpsed from the annals of history and people's livelihood.

When the weather is warm, the snow does not stop in Mobei, and when the weather is cold, Jiangdong does not freeze.

The line of the four seasons moves for a hundred miles, and a country can be destroyed, and the troubled times will be a hundred years.

Fang Xuanling's stunned Du Ruhui saw it in his eyes, so he gently patted the back of his old friend's hand:

"Even so, Fang needs to twist the fortunes of the Tang Dynasty."

"How great is it to win the ancient climate with people?"

How great? Just four words also made Fang Xuanling's pride pause.

They are all old ministers who follow His Majesty to set the troubled times, if they are afraid of the difficult situation, they will not be here now.

Du Ru smiled lightly, after all, according to the established history, he should die at this time, and now that he is still alive, he should change the world.

The ministers in the Ganlu Hall were like this, Qin Qiong was thoughtful, Hou Junji was eager, and the eldest grandson Wuji licked his lips and regretted his previous decision to ask for resignation.

Liu Renliang's eyes were full of eagerness to try, and Ma Zhouban didn't understand it with a serious expression.

Li Shimin sighed more deeply and sighed lightly:

"The stones of other mountains can be wrong, and they can attack jade."

Sun Simiao didn't care about writing hard.

[In 249 AD, Mr. Sima Yi published a fantasy literature to Luoshui that changed the direction of history.

As a result, in the era of the Three Kingdoms, Wei, which had the strongest national strength, became the de facto first out.

In the same year, the second great epidemic of the ancient Roman Empire, which was also in the turmoil of the "Thirty Days", also broke out vigorously and lasted for 16 years, killing hundreds of thousands of people in ancient Rome again.

Because of the troubled times, many bureaucratic institutions have been de facto suspended, and the only thing that survives to this day is the written record of Cyprian, who was then bishop of Carthage, hence the name of the plague of Cyprian.

The plague is also recorded to bear a strange resemblance to typhoid fever: it begins in autumn and gradually decreases in the following summer, followed by another wave of outbreaks as the weather gets colder, and so on.

The plague was still presumed to have originated in Central Asia, and as people fleeing the epidemic began to spread to cities along the Mediterranean coast, about three years later, the plague managed to reoccupy the Roman Empire and began to do whatever it wanted.

The exact number of deaths from the plague is unknown, but an Athenian scholar asserted that at least 5,000 people were dying of the plague every day in Rome at that time, a figure that is more like hearsay, as the scholar left a record that the disease was transmitted by two main routes: clothing and eyes.

A testament to this Western tragedy is the report of a contemporary bishop of Alexandria, who recorded the changes in the number of people in Alexandria's public food rations before and after the epidemic struck.

According to the simple calculation of the figure left by the bishop, the permanent population of Alexandria decreased by 62% after the epidemic was raging, and even if the number of people who fled due to the epidemic is included, the figure of more than 5,000 deaths per day is not exaggerated, if it is exaggerated.

In addition, these Western bishops also recorded in great detail the symptoms caused by the epidemic, including high fever, bloody stools, fatigue, esophageal lesions, hematemesis, limb lesions, and deafness and blindness in the late stage of the epidemic.

Therefore, we have also made two approximate guesses about the diseases raging during the Cyprian plague from the clues.

One is the flu, which is still with us even in modern times, so there is no need to say more.

The second speculation is that of the filovirus, the most well-known of this series is the Ebola virus.

The second possibility is more likely, because filoviruses basically have an incubation period of five to ten days, and the incubation period is quite difficult for ancient people in both the East and the West to understand.

The epidemic in ancient Rome was slightly different from the last time, and the second thing was that there was no medical pioneer like Galen who tried to stand up and turn the tide, and everyone was helpless in the face of the epidemic, and in the end, the epidemic in the East and the West completed the first divergence of the way:

The great pain caused by the troubled times to ordinary people and the helplessness of science led to the flourishing of religion.

In fact, the main records above are from the bishops of various regions, which can be glimpsed.

Therefore, it can be said that the epidemic has become the best accelerator for the West to achieve the result of ecclesiastical domination. 】
