The jade belt or something, it's all floating clouds, Zhen Jian cares about official position and power, he thought about it for a while, decided to strike while the iron was hot, and offered the emperor a method of planting cowpox, which is far more than the big move of offering gunpowder.
In this backward era, the cure rate of diseases is not high, and among all diseases, the most terrible is naturally the plague, because the plague is highly contagious, once it breaks out, a large number of dead people, thousands of people die, sometimes, a plague can turn a city into an empty city.
Smallpox was the most common plague in ancient times, and every time smallpox broke out, the people suffered, the emperor had a headache, and everyone was helpless.
Zhen Jian's method of planting cowpox can make smallpox extinct, can save tens of millions of people, the merit is in the present generation, and the benefit is in the future, in a sentence in the future world, such a merit can be canonized as a god in ancient times.
Maybe because the method of planting cowpox violates ordinary medical principles, it is too unbelievable, so the ministers don't believe it, even the emperor is a little skeptical, doubt is doubt, or try it, since Zhen Jian is so confident to dedicate, there must be his reason, the emperor will secretly pass the method of cowpox to the hospital, let them verify and implement it as soon as possible, and then, the emperor and the ministers just need to wait for the news of the hospital.
Qin Huan is very panicked now, he feels that Zhen Jian has been a little crazy recently, he has made meritorious contributions repeatedly, and one credit is greater than one credit, just since this year, he first defeated the armies of Xifan and Nanzhao, and then offered the gunpowder formula, and then offered the recipe for the prevention and treatment of foot-and-mouth disease, and now he has sacrificed a big move, and offered a method that can eradicate smallpox, he knows that since Zhen Jian dares to sacrifice the method of planting cowpox, it must be effective, otherwise it is the crime of bullying, he began to ponder, whether he should do something to make the hospital unable to test the effect of cowpox.
He wanted to go to the envoy of the Tai Hospital, but he only found out now that the envoy of the Tai Hospital had retired last year, including the judgment of the hospital, and the current envoy of the Tai Hospital was the person of Qu Miao, Qin Huan really regretted it, because the Tai Hospital usually did not play a big role, so he paid little attention to it, and he didn't think that he would be so in urgent need of the Tai Hospital one day.
Qin Huan also heard that this time the Tai Hospital experimented with the method of planting cowpox, Zhen Jian guided the whole process, and sent experts to guard the patients participating in the experiment, he was extra careful, he couldn't do anything at all, he could only give up, this credit, I was afraid that it would fall into Zhen Jian's bag again.
Seven days later, the hospital reported the results, the method of planting cowpox, can indeed effectively prevent smallpox, although the method is quite complicated, the difficulty is a bit high, but the hospital predicts, fast ten years, slow fifteen years, every person in Dachu will be planted with cowpox.
The emperor is really a dragon's heart, and he once again rewarded Zhen Jian, and added an official to the knighthood, this time the reward is big, even bigger than last time, the ministers want to object, but they really can't object, because Zhen Jian's achievements this time are too great, after all, this is a merit that can be canonized as a god.
This time, Zhen Jianjin was the Marquis of the Auxiliary Kingdom, 1,500 households in the city, General Huaihua (Zheng Sanpin), and was promoted to the right Cheng of the military department Shangshu (Zheng Sanpin, equivalent to the deputy Shangshu), and the same Zhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi (worship the prime minister), gave 10,000 taels of gold, 1,000 acres of fertile land, gave purple and gold crowns, and golden clothes......
It can be said that Zhen Jian has not received as many rewards since his debut as much as this time, it can be seen that the emperor is indeed a little too happy, Zhen Jian is also very glad that he did not sacrifice the method of planting cowpox early in the morning, otherwise how could he get such a big promotion, and directly worship the prime minister, and he also became the deputy secretary of the Ministry of War, the secretary of the Ministry of War is equivalent to the Minister of Defense of the future world, and the deputy secretary of the Ministry of War is the deputy minister, which is already very awesome, and the most important thing is that from now on, he can participate in the government affairs and military affairs of any country, and the emperor encounters major events.
Summoning the important ministers to discuss, he is one of the important ministers, because now, he is also the same.
The reward for Zhen Jian was in the early dynasty, maybe Qin Huan had already expected that Zhen Jian would get a huge reward, so he said that he was sick and did not go to the early dynasty, and when he learned of Zhen Jian's reward, he was really angry.
Qin Huan was lying at home recuperating, thinking back to the confrontation and tricks with Zhen Jian in the past few years, he couldn't help but sigh and sigh, Zhen Jian grew from a kid with no foundation to the current appearance of a country, and he was crowned a marquis, it was too fast, it only took three or four years, and in these three or four years, his achievements were also shocking.
Qin Huan finally realized that he might have picked the wrong opponent, but now, it was too late to say anything, he couldn't suppress Zhen Jian anymore, and some henchmen saw that the momentum was not right, and they already had plans to withdraw.
After Zhen Jian was promoted, he inquired about the case of the robbery and murder of the envoy of the Imperial Forest Army in Chizhou, and learned that the emperor dispatched Dali Temple, and most of the elites of the six doors went to investigate the case, but they did not find any clues, and they had given up the investigation, and it was strictly forbidden for anyone to mention it, after all, this was a matter of slapping the emperor in the face, how could it be publicized and affect the majesty of the royal family.
Although Zhen Jian felt disappointed, he was also secretly glad that at least he could know now that Qin Huan had secretly hidden a group of people, and he should be careful in the future.
Fortunately, Zhen Jian has been prepared all these years, asking Li Xianyu and Fan Xian to search for some orphans everywhere and bring them back to cultivate, or when there is a famine in some places, there will be many people who sell their bodies or children to buy these dying people back and hand them over to Li Yun, Li Fei and the Thirteen Taibao for training to form their own defense forces, but these children are all in their manors outside the city, and there are hundreds of them.
In the blink of an eye, the summer passed, although it has begun autumn, but the weather is still very hot, at noon on this day, three people walked into the capital, these three people are wearing hats, the hats are pressed very low, covering their faces, they walked into the city for a short time, they entered a restaurant, asked for a private room, ordered four dishes, a pot of wine.
The guy left, the door of the private room was closed, and the three of them took off their hats and sat around the table, only to see that one of them turned out to be Shen Xiu, the son of Shen Chong, the previous leader of the beggar gang, and the other two were naturally the two people who were expelled from the beggar gang with him, one was called Zhang Kan, and the other was called Zhao Si.
In the past two years, these three people lived in seclusion in the mountains, practicing martial arts diligently, Shen Xiu finally practiced the last layer of the dragon trick, martial arts made great progress, Shen Xiu also passed the first two layers of the dragon trick to Zhang Kan and Zhao Si, the martial arts of the two people also improved by leaps and bounds, and the three of them went down the mountain to a town to rob a rich family, and after getting enough entanglement, they came to the capital.
After taking off the hat, Zhang Kan asked Shen Xiu: "Childe, there are dragons and crouching tigers in places like the capital, and there are many eyes and ears of the beggar gang, why did we come to such a dangerous place?"
” "yes."
Zhao Si was also full of worry and said, "Why don't we leave, go to the north, go to Liang State, where the beggar gang is weak, so we can't help it." ” Shen Xiu shook his head and said: "You don't understand, although we were expelled from the beggar gang, the beggar gang will not take the initiative to embarrass us, Guo Yan's character, I still know very well." ” The two of them were silent when they heard this, they also knew Guo Yan, and naturally knew that Guo Yan was not such a small-bellied person, otherwise they would not have let them leave the beggar gang alive.
Shen Xiu clenched his fist with his right hand, gritted his teeth and said: "I have endured for two years, practiced martial arts hard in the mountains, and lived like a savage, in order to practice the dragon capture trick and regain my position as the leader of the gang, and went to the north, how can I regain the position of the leader of the gang?"
” Zhang Kan and Zhao Si glanced at each other when they heard this, and didn't dare to say anything, although they didn't say anything, but they didn't have any expectations in their hearts about retaking the beggar gang, because they came out of the beggar gang and knew how powerful the beggar gang was.
I only heard Shen Xiu say again: "Right now, with my martial arts, I can almost tie with Guo Yan, but with martial arts alone, I can't take back the beggar gang. ” "Borrow?"
Hearing this, Zhang Kan asked suspiciously, "Whose power is it borrowed?"
” Shen Xiu said: "With the power of the imperial court, I came to the capital just to try my luck and see if I can meet the officials of the imperial court, as long as I can climb the power of the imperial court and use the power of the imperial court to deal with the beggar gang, I have hope to destroy Guo Yan and recapture the beggar gang!"
” Hearing this, Zhao Si asked worriedly: "If the imperial court wants to take the opportunity to completely eradicate the beggar gang, what should it do?"
” "No, it won't."
Shen Xiu waved his hand and said, "The disciples of the beggar gang are all over the world, how can they be easily eradicated, if the people in the court have a little brain, they will choose a suitable person to control the beggar gang, and I ......
It's the perfect fit!
” Zhang Kan and Zhao Si's eyes lit up when they heard this, and when they heard Shen Xiu say this, they felt that it was really the case, but they were not too optimistic, Zhang Kan immediately said the most embarrassing problem at the moment: "How can we climb the line of the imperial court?"
” "Wait."
Shen Xiu's voice was gloomy and said, "Good hunters usually have to wait patiently, we used to be in the beggar gang, and we have been paying attention to the news of the imperial court, in the imperial court, the big corrupt official Qin Huan has countless disciples and eagle dogs, all of whom are masters recruited from the rivers and lakes, those masters, in my eyes, are not worth mentioning at all, as long as I can climb the line of Qin Huan, I will propose to him and ask him to help me recapture the beggar gang, and the reward he gets will be the loyalty of the entire beggar gang of 100,000 people to him, do you think he will agree." ” "Then I will definitely say yes."
Zhang Kan and Zhao Si both shouted with joy when they heard this, but then covered their mouths again, for fear that the wall would have ears.
Soon, the shopkeeper brought the wine and food, and the three of them began to eat and drink, and just halfway through the meal, footsteps sounded outside, and it seemed that a guest passed by the door of their private room, and then they heard the door opening next door, and it seemed that a guest had entered the next room.
Shen Xiu's ears are very strong, he can hear the voice of the person next door, and whispered to Zhang Kan and Zhao Si: "In the future, when you are outside, you must be careful when you speak and act." ” The two nodded again and again, after all, they were now street rats, and everything needed to be cautious.
I originally wanted to continue eating and drinking, but suddenly I heard a sigh from next door: "Alas, Master Li, tell me, why is this Zhen Jian so lucky, he is on the rise at a young age, I think I, Zhen Wen, am also from the imperial examination, and I am only a small head of the household department today." ” It turned out that these two people turned out to be Zhen Wen and his boss Li Si, Zhen Wen has embezzled a small half of the money for more than a year to honor Li Si, it just so happens that Li Si is not very old, so he usually has a good personal relationship with him, Zhen Wen often invites him out to eat, drink and chat, and get acquainted with his feelings.
As soon as Shen Xiu, who was next door, heard Zhen Jian's name, he immediately raised his hand to ask Zhang Kan and Zhao Si to stop eating, and listened attentively.
