  Chapter 91 Auspicious

   "The mountain is long."

  The emperor didn't dare to wait in place to let the other party come over, so he took dozens of steps quickly and came to Xuegong Mountain Changlian Xuanxiao and Tantai Leshan.

   "Your Majesty."

  In front of the other courtiers, Lian Xuanxiao casually raised his hands in a cross-hand salute, then took a wide paper with pictures from Tantai Leshan, and handed it to the emperor.

  Emperor Yu took over the picture, which is an exquisite map of Chang'an, on which the buildings, fields, bridges, canals, rivers, vehicles, horses and pedestrians of Chang'an are carefully drawn, and they are vivid and vivid.

  The only thing that makes people feel uncomfortable is that there are a lot of dense black dots scattered in it, which is annoying to see.

  Emperor Yu frowned and said, "This is."

   "Chang'an malaria that was supposed to break out this autumn."

  Lian Xuanxiao glanced at the queen, ministers, and Cheng Juxiu, and said in a deep voice, "[Changan Weijing] gave the result."

  Emperor Yu's eyelids twitched, Hubu Shangshu and Taichangsi Qing shook their bodies, subconsciously looking at the blueprint.

  The Alienated Object of [Chang'an Weijing], code-named [Deceitful-1-17], can be said to be the important weapon of Yu State.

  Its function is to give the predicted preview results based on the conditions in the form of Chang'an map after inputting certain conditions. It can predict the scene of Chang'an City in three months' time at the farthest.

  It is equivalent to an oracle machine limited to Chang'an City.

  For example, set the condition as [the water transportation system failed to send the grain to Chang’an City],

  The result of the given prediction will show that there is a shortage of food in those places in Chang'an City, how much the price of food will rise, and how many people will starve to death because they cannot afford food.

  Or, when the abnormally hot summer comes, set the condition to [Use a talisman to pray for rain],

   Then not only can predict whether the rain is successful,

   It can also predict whether Chang'an City can return to normal after the rain is successful.

[Chang'an Weijing] has two buildings, one is placed in the Dongjun Building of the Academy Palace, and the other is placed deep in the imperial palace—because of the high cost of enabling [Chang'an Weijing], the cumbersome and complicated process of using it, the prediction results need to be interpreted by a special person, and will be lost after use. There's a cooling off period,

  So even if it is the Six Departments, if they want to use the [Changan Weijing] alienated object in the palace to predict the future results of important policies, they need to report to the chiefs of the three provinces and submit the plan to Emperor Yu.

  For hundreds of years, [Changan Weijing] has never made a mistake, even if it made a mistake, it was misinterpreted due to human reasons.

   And when this picture was handed over by Xue Gongshan, its correctness and credibility are beyond doubt.

  There will definitely be a malaria outbreak in Chang'an City this autumn,

   Or which year was malaria free?

  Emperor Yu frowned, and said seriously: "Is the head of the mountain asking me to let the Imperial Medical Office, Shangyao Bureau, and Yaozang Bureau prepare to deal with malaria in advance?"

   Among the three major medical institutions in Yu State, Shangyao Bureau and Yaozang Bureau serve the royal family,

  The Imperial Medical Administration is in charge of the national medical administration. It not only educates and trains physicians, compiles medical classics, but also treats officials, the army, servicemen, palace people, and foreign chiefs Qushuai.

  The problem is that there are only more than 1,500 people in the Imperial Medical Office.

  Among them, there are also a large number of administrative personnel who manage financial documents and cashiers, such as Fu Shi and Zhang Gu, as well as pharmacists and pharmacists who are not directly involved in medical treatment.

  The few doctors who can really come in handy are already extremely busy seeing doctors for officials, the army, and palace people every day, and they have no time or ability to treat ordinary people in Chang'an City.

  Even if you know that malaria is coming, all you can do is to prepare medicinal materials in advance.

  This is still when Yu State has a school and pays more attention to medical treatment than before. At the beginning of Yu, the permanent staff of the entire Imperial Medical Office was only 341 people.

"No."

  Lian Xuanxiao shook his head, and took out the second blueprint.

  This map is roughly the same as the first one, both are topographic maps of Chang’an.

  The difference is that on this map, many open-air canals have been covered with stone slabs, a large number of woodland grasses have been leveled, and pond potholes have been filled.

  The most important thing is that the black spots on this drawing have been greatly reduced.

   "Your Majesty, it has been confirmed that the cause of malaria is not evil spirits or malaria ghosts, but mosquitoes."

  Lian Xuanxiao said in a deep voice: "In the second picture, the open-air canals in the city are only covered, the grass and stagnant ponds that are easy to breed mosquitoes are eradicated, and the mosquitoes are fumigated with wormwood and other substances.

  The outbreak of malaria this fall will be eliminated invisible.

   Saved thousands of people.

  I implore Your Majesty to try out the mosquito eradication strategy in Piannanfang City, Chang'an, to see its effect. "

   “Malaria is caused by mosquitoes.”

  Empress Xue lost her voice in astonishment, and Hubu Shangshu and Taichang Siqing beside her were even more shocked.

  Malaria is one of the most terrifying and harmful large-scale diseases in the world. Both the "New Bodhisattva Sutra" and the "Exhortation to Good Sutra" rank "death from malaria" at the top.

  Any Yu person with common sense knows what being able to prevent malaria means—every household doesn’t have to worry about sudden bad luck, and Yu’s soldiers can continue to advance south and west.

  Malaria and miasma are roughly the same disease. It is called malaria in the north and miasma in the south.

  The Zhou State in the south of Yu State, the Nanzhao Six Kingdoms in the southeast, the Jing State in the west, and the 100,000 barren mountains in the southwest, the reason why they were not conquered by Yu State was because they also had practitioners.

  The second is because of the miasma epidemic—any malaria can kill tens of thousands of Yu State soldiers, and make Yu State pay an extremely painful price without gaining any territorial gains.

   "Shan Chang,"

Emperor Yu's mind was like lightning, and he instantly understood the value of this discovery - the national policy of the entire Yu State in the next hundred years will be changed for it, and the map of Yu State that has not been expanded for a long time may be in his generation or the next generation of Yu State. Monarch there, expand again.

  Emperor Yu immediately took a deep breath, and said seriously: "If there is no seal, I will definitely grow you for the mountain."

   "Your Majesty,"

  Lian Xuanxiao interrupted Emperor Yu's words, with a strange smile, "This is not due to the old man."

"That"

  Emperor Yu turned his head to look at Tantai Leshan next to Lian Xuanxiao, who smiled wryly and saluted: "Your Majesty, this is not my minister's discovery either.

   But some time ago, I heard it mentioned by a scholar from Yizhou named Li Mingang. "

   "Scholar from Weizhou?"

  Emperor Yu and Empress Xue raised their voices in unison,

  The expressions on the faces of Hubu Shangshu and Taichangsi Qing are extremely exciting,

   Cheng Juxiu opened his mouth, not knowing what expression to make.

  Cheng Juxiu actually just arrived in Chang'an this morning, when he heard the news that Li Ang was judged unable to cultivate by Xi Yangyu, he immediately knew that it was Xi Yangyu's old affair with Pu Liuxuan.

  Because when Cheng Juxiu returned to Chang'an, the final exam was still in progress, and Li Ang was already in the exam room.

  Cheng Juxiu made a decisive decision, and through his classmates in the Ministry of Housing and Taichang Temple, he informed the Shangshu of the Household Department and the Minister of Taichang Temple about the midwifery forceps, and invited the two to go to the imperial city together, and presented the auspiciousness of the midwifery forceps to His Majesty.

  In the hope that things will turn around.

   But looking at it like this, Li Ang cured the Duke of Yan and discovered the cause of malaria, so the head of the mountain and Tantai Leshan Siye came to the imperial city to congratulate His Majesty.

  He's had a really wonderful two or three months

   Well, even if you fail the final exam, you will definitely be recruited by the head of the mountain.

  Cheng Juxiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but heard the slight sound of footsteps from far to near.

  A eunuch's servant walked over quickly, "Your Majesty, some candidates have already finished the final examination in the palace."

   "So fast? Doesn't it mean that this year's final exam is difficult. Since you are the number one scholar, then quickly bring it to the palace and let me meet you."

  Received two excellent news in one day, Emperor Yu was in a good mood at the moment, he stopped talking suddenly, and said with a strange expression: "Wait, what's the candidate's last name?"

  The **** didn't understand what he meant, so he answered honestly: "There are two candidates who have finished the answer, one surnamed He and the other surnamed Li."

  Emperor Yu turned his head and looked at Empress Xue and Shanzhang, dumbfounded.

   "Your Majesty,"

  The head of the mountain shook his head and smiled: "There is no rush to let him enter the palace now.

  The spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease, and I can see all the flowers in Chang'an in one day.

  Young man, let him be happy again. "
