393 [Stakes]

Zhao Han rarely came out and took Liu Rushi around the Yuhuatai.

Liu Rushi entered the palace half a month ago. Like Fei Rumei, there was no special ceremony. The traditional six rituals remained the same, but the emperor did not need to come forward to welcome the bride. He could just go to see the queen the next day.

When they walked to a place, they found many stone carvings, which turned out to be the tomb of an official. Zhao Han smiled and said, "This tomb is quite luxurious."

Liu Rushi moved to the Shinto stele, identified it carefully and said: "This is the tomb of Li Jie, the hussar general and governor of the early Ming Dynasty. The inscription was written by Song Qianxi (Song Lian) on the order of the Ming Taizu."

Zhao Han came closer to take a closer look and commented: "Dignified and steady, it is indeed the best calligraphy for epitaphs."

Liu Rushi asked people to bring their belongings with them, take out professional equipment, and personally rub the inscriptions. She smiled and said: "Song Qianxi's regular script has two styles: clear and graceful, and dignified and steady. The inscriptions must be written more calmly."

Zhao Han was watching from the side. Song Lian had many inscriptions passed down from generation to generation, so he felt there was no need to print an epitaph.

However, an observatory can be built on Purple Mountain outside the inner city.

Nowadays, the two star observatories in Nanjing, one at Yuhuatai and the other at Jiming Mountain, are both too close to the downtown area. It happened to be that they were re-located and rebuilt after they were abandoned. Purple Mountain is a good place for stargazing.

Liu Rushi finished rubbing the inscription and continued strolling with Zhao Han.

There are several hills nearby, and there are scattered monuments everywhere, as well as some pavilions for resting and enjoying the scenery.

Zhao Han even saw a monument to eunuchs, which was jointly erected by Nanjing's eunuchs and eunuchs.

It might have been a cultural relic a few hundred years later, but now it's of no use, just the names of dozens of eunuchs engraved on it.

Liu Rushi was in a happy mood. He walked around and took rubbings of inscriptions when he saw famous people. After finishing, he said: "Guozhang's calligraphy has become very popular in Nanjing in recent years. One of the writing methods is also called 'Fei Ti', which is said to be received by the husband."

Inspired and created, is this true?"

"Hahaha," Zhao Han laughed, "it does have something to do with me."

When Zhao Han just traveled through time, he used Qi Gong Body to fool Fei Yinghuan.

Over the past ten years, Fei Yinghuan has developed his own set of calligraphy based on Qi Gong style, strictly following the golden ratio. Although some people like it, there are more people who criticize it, and "Fei style" is also nicknamed

It is a "wasted body". Beginners will waste their physical energy and write themselves into pieces.

In the past two years, Fei Ti has gained popularity mostly because of his status as the father-in-law of the country.

In the middle of the afternoon, the two of them went down the mountain together. Zhao Han went back to work, while Liu Rushi went to the Hanlin Academy to continue compiling dictionaries.

This dictionary, which also includes pinyin, is expected to be printed next spring.

When I returned to the office, I found a large pile of memorials and several manuscripts beside them.

"What is this?" Zhao Han asked, pointing to the manuscript.

Hucao's servant replied: "I have sent you your Majesty's medical treatises on epidemic diseases."

A plague broke out in Shandong in the first half of the year. Zhao Han immediately mobilized famous doctors from all over the country to go to the border areas of the territory to treat the people within his jurisdiction and those who secretly crossed the border.

After taking control of their own territory, some doctors even took the initiative to go to the epidemic areas in Shandong.

Zhao Han opened the manuscript of his first medical book, titled "On Plague", written by Wu Youxing, whose calligraphy is also good.

Zhao Han knew nothing about traditional Chinese medicine and did not know that this man was the founder of the plague school.

Historically, there was a great famine in the south of the Yangtze River, with corpses everywhere, and finally led to a plague in the south of the Yangtze River.

The plague broke out. There were more than a hundred households in an alley, but no one was spared. There were dozens of people in a door, but no one survived.

Wu Youke treated plague in the south of the Yangtze River and summarized a set of "Treatise on Warm Epidemics". He believed that the plague was caused by malaria, could be transmitted through the mouth and nose, and the disease occurred in membranes that were neither external nor internal. Traditional treatment of external and internal diseases It is difficult for the medicine to work.

In addition, Wu Youke invented a mask on his own. After boiling silk cloth in boiling water, he distributed it to doctors and ordinary people, and they must wear it when going out.

Wu Youke's "disease theory" was initially opposed by many famous doctors, but the therapeutic effect was very significant. Fei Ruhe and Zhang Tieniu, who led the troops stationed there, have ordered its promotion and allocated a large number of military doctors to Wu Youke. Be a student.

After reading several relevant memorials, Zhao Han immediately issued an order to appoint Wu Youke as "Chief Medical Officer of Epidemic Prevention in Jiangsu, Anhui, Henan, and Shandong Provinces."

During the epidemic, local governments, the military, and doctors must fully cooperate with Wu Youke's work.

At the same time, they were ordered to use improved masks.

The so-called improved version of the mask is the cotton mask of later generations. When he received the news of the epidemic, Zhao Han had people make it. As a result, most people didn't take it seriously, and even doctors didn't use it after they got it.

Wu Youke didn't receive any cotton masks, so he had to invent silk masks on his own.

In addition to Wu Youke, several famous doctors in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties are now under Zhao Han's care, but they specialize in different fields.

Fu Shan, who went south with Wang Tiaoding, was a master of gynecology.

Li Zhongzi specializes in internal medicine and is good at smallpox. He is currently treating smallpox in northern Jiangsu.

Based on his clinical experience in the past six months, Li Zhongzi wrote a booklet "Miscellaneous Treatises on Acne" and sent it to Zhao Han for review, requesting Zhao Han to fully promote "variolation vaccination".

Zhao Han picked up his pen and gave instructions: "Is it possible to vaccinate with cowpox?"

Historically, China vigorously promoted the "variolation method" when Kangxi was emperor. Then, countries around the world followed suit and spread to West Asia, Europe and America.

The cowpox method was improved by British doctors based on the Chinese variolation method, and the success rate was greatly improved.

Yu Chang, who was called a holy doctor by Qian Qianyi, is still an ordinary doctor.

This gentleman's original surname was Zhu, and he was a descendant of the old Zhu family. In the early years of Chongzhen's reign, he went to the Imperial Academy in Beijing to study. He often went to the Imperial Academy to discuss matters, but he was ignored and depressed, so he simply returned to his hometown in Jiangxi.

When Zhao Han captured Nanchang, Yu Chang became a monk because he was afraid of being implicated.

As a result, Zhao Han did not embarrass ordinary clan members and distributed land to ordinary clan members. However, Yu Chang, who changed his name and became a monk, was found to have become a monk illegally and was sent to Zaogeshan Ziyang Medical College to study medicine.

A generation of famous doctors still followed the old path of learning medicine and treating diseases.

Zhang Lu, who is as famous as Yu Chang, chose an official career and is now the magistrate of Anxi County, Fujian Province.

After quickly processing the memorial from the Ministry of Revenue, Zhao Han picked up the memorial from the Ministry of War. The first memorial was extremely impactful: the puppet Qing emperor Huang Taiji was dead!

In fact, Huang Taiji had been dead for two months, and it was only then that Zhao Han finally received the news.



Beijing.

Hong Chengchou sat in the sedan and turned a deaf ear to the noisy shouts outside.

He didn't dare to listen and couldn't bear to see.

After Huang Taiji entered the customs, he accepted Hong Chengchou's advice: treat the former Ming ministers well, treat the gentry and the common people well, do light corvee and low taxes, and exempt from harsh labor.

In those lands on the outskirts of Beijing, only the property belonging to the noble Ming Dynasty was confiscated.

For a time, the gentry returned home and the people obeyed.

Hong Chengchou was very proud of this and believed that he had saved the people. Although he had bad personal ethics, he also held great righteousness. As for Chongzhen, it was Li Zicheng who forced him to die, and he surrendered to the Qing Dynasty after the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

Not considered a second minister!

But the current situation in the Manchu and Qing Dynasties is no longer under Hong Chengchou's control.

Huang Taiji fell ill and died, and the Manchu nobles began to fight among themselves.

Hauge and Dorgon were competing for the throne. Dorgon, who was relatively weak, proposed to make the three-year-old Fulin the emperor.

This suggestion received positive responses from Dayu'er and Jierhalang, and also received support from many Mongolian nobles. The situation suddenly reversed, and Hauge was unable to survive alone, so he had no choice but to give up inheriting the throne.

In order to consolidate his regent status, Dorgon once again suggested:

First, the Han people in the inner city of Beijing were expelled. The inner city was renamed Mancheng, and only children of the Eight Banners were allowed to live there.

Second, horse racing and enclosure. The Eight Banners nobles can occupy the land in the capital at will.

These two articles completely overturned Huang Taiji's policies during his lifetime. Huang Taiji, whose bones were still cold, would probably be so angry that he could crawl out of the coffin.

However, the Manchu nobles enthusiastically supported this, and Dorgon completely consolidated his power as regent!

Even Han ministers like Hong Chengchou had to pack up their belongings and get out of the inner city of Beijing immediately.

"Spare your life, Master, spare your life... ah!"

"Dad, Mom, help!"

"..."

There were shouts and screams everywhere, and Hong Chengchou quickly closed his eyes.

Driving the Han people out of the inner city was not as simple as just driving them away. It was also accompanied by killings, raping and looting. Someone’s beautiful daughter was snatched away by the Manchu nobles in broad daylight. Some people wanted to take away the money in the cellar, but not only did they not bring the money with them,

When they left, their houses were occupied and often they were killed.

In the view of the Manchu nobles, there was not enough food in Beijing anyway, and these urban residents could not farm, so more deaths could save food.

"Da da da da!"

There was a sound of horse hoofbeats, and some Manchu officials shouted along the street: "Pile the corpses and burn them to prevent a great epidemic! Pile the corpses and burn them to prevent a great epidemic..."

The plague had already spread to Beijing, and the Han Chinese in the inner city were driven away in order to reduce the population and slow down the spread of the plague.

"Master, we're here." The slave shouted.

Hong Chengchou got off the sedan chair and walked into the new mansion, which was rewarded to him by Dorgon.

While walking in the yard, Hong Chengchou found many blood stains.

These blood stains were washed casually with water and were not wiped clean at all. They were covered in dust and solidified into black.

The Manchus occupied the inner city, and the Han ministers lived in the outer city.

As for the original owners of the houses in the outer city, as long as they had big houses, they almost had no good end. They were expelled and killed to free up the houses and give them to officials like Hong Chengchou to live in.

Not long after, the slave ran over and said, "Master, I'm afraid the water in the well at home is not drinkable. Someone has thrown it into the well and it has already stunk."

"Buy some water." Hong Chengchou sighed.

At the gate of the outer city, there are still bannermen selecting young men.

Those who were strong and good-looking were selected to be domestic slaves and maids.

These are basically the small nobles and officers of the Eight Banners. They have just been assigned houses in the inner city and still lack servants. The homeless people who have been driven out of the inner city can choose whatever they want if they want to survive. No wages are required.

Just enjoy the meal.

The horse racing enclosure near the outskirts of Beijing has begun, and a large number of gentry have been expelled from their homes, while the common people are left to work as serfs for the Manchu nobles.

A gentry family, with their entire family in tow, wanted to flee to the south for refuge.

A group of Manchu cavalry rushed over. These guys were preparing to swarm the land. Seeing that the gentry had a lot of property when they moved, they suddenly became jealous. The officer shouted: "These are spies from the south, men, old, and young."

Yes, kill them all!"

The wolf-like Manchu and Qing cavalry rushed over excitedly.

They killed old people, men and children, took away young women, and took away the property of the gentry.
