Zhu Yuanzhang Returns from Modern Times

Before Zhu Yuanzhang could finish speaking, Prince Zhou, Zhu Su, had already requested permission to go to Wannian County to deal with the smallpox outbreak.

Without the slightest hesitation.

In the past year or two, he has been obsessed with medicine, devoting most of his energy to it, as if he has discovered a treasure and is working hard to dig it out. He feels that doing anything else is a waste of time.

At this moment, there was not even the slightest hesitation.

They didn't feel at all that going to Wannian County to deal with smallpox would be a waste of time.

The doctor is kind.

In addition to learning how to treat and save lives, medical students must also have a compassionate heart to heal and save lives while studying and improving their medical skills.

King Zhu Su of Zhou was very clear about why he wanted to study medicine.

It wasn't just because he was interested in medicine, nor was it just because his father was very supportive of him in this area and provided him with a lot of help.

Most importantly, studying medicine allows you to heal the sick and save lives!

The ultimate purpose of studying medicine is to heal the sick and save lives.

Smallpox has now broken out in Wannian County, and it's quite serious.

So now is the time for him to step up.

If you learn medicine but don't use it, isn't that the same as learning it for nothing?

Zhu Yuanzhang swallowed the rest of his words.

Looking at his fifth child, his eyes were full of approval.

My fifth child is truly remarkable; he has truly not disappointed me.

She has indeed given birth to many good sons.

Although, among the sons, some of them did indeed do a lot of things that were not human.

However, he also had some very good sons.

Especially after my own guidance and some changes in my parenting methods, many of my sons have become even more outstanding.

For example, my own fifth child is like that.

The fifth child is not only very talented in medicine.

Moreover, they are able to focus on studying medicine.

He had seen all of Lao Wu's efforts.

Even he had forced Lao Wu to take a break several times, telling him not to push himself too hard.

The fifth brother not only has a talent for medicine, but also has the perseverance to study medical techniques.

When faced with a problem, they really don't hesitate.

Smallpox is something that countless people would avoid at all costs.

Even after the Imperial Medical Academy developed a smallpox vaccine.

Many imperial physicians still harbored a natural fear of smallpox.

However, his own fifth son didn't hesitate at all about it.

"Fifth Prince, well done! He's our good son! And a good prince of our Great Ming Dynasty, he hasn't let us down!"

Zhu Yuanzhang praised him.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Su's eyes welled up with tears.

Father Emperor has changed from before.

In the past, the Emperor's praise was reserved only for the eldest brother.

Now, we can also receive praise from our father.

Although he had heard a lot of praise from his father over the past year.

But at this moment, it's still very useful.

For many people, it is a blessing to have their parents' understanding and approval, especially in matters they value most.

That's really a wonderful, wonderful thing.

"Fifth brother, aren't you afraid?"

"Not afraid!"

Zhu Su managed to suppress his emotions and answered decisively.

"Smallpox isn't that scary; my child has already been vaccinated against it."

Previously, he had spent a long time with people infected with smallpox.

Just as my father said, once we are vaccinated against smallpox, we will no longer be afraid of smallpox.

The child is perfectly fine.

Now the child is naturally not afraid.

Upon hearing his fifth son mention this, Zhu Yuanzhang looked at him with even greater admiration.

At the same time, I also felt a little sorry for her.

After the smallpox vaccine was developed, Lao Wu did not test it on other people, but vaccinated himself directly.

After being vaccinated for a period of time, they even secretly stayed with people who had contracted smallpox in the deep mountains and forests to verify whether the smallpox vaccine was effective.

When Zhu Yuanzhang learned of this, he was both pleased with his fifth son's serious attitude towards medicine and felt sorry for him.

This is why he knew that cowpox was truly effective against smallpox.

Otherwise, it would definitely be stopped.

"Fifth brother, well done!"

But you must take good care of yourself this time and don't do anything foolish!
You must remember that someone with your talent in medicine, who is capable of forging a path in medicine, is the one who can make the most of their life!
If people are gone, it will be a great loss to our Great Ming Dynasty!

It is unknown how many people will indirectly die from diseases that could have been cured.

Only by living and making further breakthroughs in medicine can you save more lives.

This is the greatest compassion of a doctor!
One should not only look at the present, but also at the future.

Zhu Yuanzhang spoke up to instruct him.

He was genuinely afraid that his fifth son might do something foolish again in the future.

"Furthermore, in the future, you must never test any new drug on yourself."

The Ming Dynasty had many death row inmates; let's use them to test things out.

If you dare to test drugs on yourself again, we will absolutely not let you study medicine again!

"Don't go any further down this road!"

As Zhu Yuanzhang spoke, his face hardened, and his expression became serious.

"Moreover, letting death row inmates test the drugs is actually a very kind thing for them."

Firstly, it's a way to make use of waste, and secondly, it allows them to live longer during drug trials.

When you conduct drug trials, you already have a good grasp of the efficacy of many drugs.

It doesn't mean that death is inevitable.

Many of them will not only survive, but many will be able to continue living.

They provide for them with good food and drink.

It is also a kindness to them.

Remember these things!

Zhu Yuanzhang reminded Zhu Su again.

Zhu Su hurriedly said, "Father, I remember. I will never do such foolish things again and will cherish my life even more."

"Father, you are right."

When Zhu Su said this, he used a slightly nasal tone.

It feels so good to be cared for by my own father, the emperor.

"Just write it down."

"Alright, go on your way. We'll do our best to help you."

Zhu Yuanzhang said no more, and after giving the necessary instructions, he sent his fifth son on his way.

Zhu Su bowed to Zhu Yuanzhang and withdrew from the Wuying Hall. He glanced up at the sky, took a deep breath, and strode forward.

smallpox?

I'm going there myself this time to eradicate smallpox!
In the future, we must develop more and better smallpox vaccines and vaccinate the people of the Ming Dynasty!
Let every person in the Ming Dynasty be vaccinated against smallpox and eradicate it completely!
May no one in the Ming Dynasty ever die from smallpox again!

……

As Zhu Yuanzhang watched his fifth son's departing figure, a gratified smile appeared on his face...

"Give this to Mr. Luo and ask him to write an article for the newspaper."

Zhu Yuanzhang handed some items to the person who came and gave instructions.

This is because smallpox has broken out in Wannian County, and the situation is urgent. After hearing the news, my fifth son volunteered to lead people from the Imperial Hospital to Wannian County to carry out rescue and treatment of patients and to eradicate smallpox.

In addition, there is some information about smallpox vaccines.

He believed that once these things were delivered to Luo Guanzhong, Luo Guanzhong would know what to do.

I can't just let my fifth son be someone who works behind the scenes.

Since he has the intention and the ability, then as his father, he shouldn't be too harsh on his fifth son.

If it's time to make a name for my fifth son, then I should.

The reward should be given when it is due.

Moreover, this was not only a way to make his fifth son famous, but also a formal announcement to the outside world of the good news that the Ming Dynasty had developed a vaccine against smallpox.

This is to reassure the people.

This also serves as necessary public awareness campaigns for the future widespread promotion of smallpox vaccination.

Many people are not receptive to new things.

People naturally tend to have some resistance to things they've never heard of before.

For example, the smallpox vaccine.

When the vaccination is carried out in the future, some people will be willing, but many others will naturally have some resistance because they do not understand it.

Now that a serious outbreak of smallpox has occurred in Wannian County, it is necessary for us to take this opportunity to report on it properly.

Let out some of the necessary information.

It can boost people's confidence and let people know that such a good thing exists.

This way, when large-scale vaccinations are carried out in the future, it won't seem so abrupt.

It can help more people understand what the smallpox vaccine is for, and encourage them to get vaccinated voluntarily, without requiring too much explanation.

Of course, this is also a way to tell people.

Some research conducted by the Imperial Medical Academy has yielded results.

Share this good news with those who are in the medical field or planning to enter it, and boost their confidence.

Let them know that medicine is also a great path.

If done well, it can bring peace and prosperity to the people.

To attract more talented and ambitious people to the medical field and let them shine.

Many hands make light work.

Only when more people are truly engaged in this industry can medicine experience a more vigorous development.

Only in this way can we safeguard people's lives, free more people from illness, and prevent them from losing their lives to common diseases.

The smallpox vaccine is just a starting point, not the end.

In the future, medicine in our Great Ming Dynasty will have a better future.

After all, by now, even allicin is almost ready to be developed.

As for iodine solution, which in later generations was both cheap and particularly effective as a disinfectant, it was also put on the agenda at his suggestion.

These are two life-saving drugs of great significance today.

Especially iodine solution; once it can be produced, it will be an incredible boon for countless soldiers in the future!
Zhu Yuanzhang fought his way through a chaotic era.

It is obvious that the most terrifying thing in war is not dying on the spot, but being wounded.

Of course, this does not mean that every wounded person will die after the war.

However, it is undeniable that the number of wounded Kazakhs who died after the war was extremely staggering.

Often, they die from wound inflammation and infection.

If iodine solution were available, this situation would be greatly alleviated.

Of course, it would be even better if we could also develop penicillin, as well as cephalosporins and amoxicillin, which are extremely common drugs in later generations, and increase their production.

The number of casualties due to injuries will then decrease.

Medicine still has a long way to go. Just to reach the level that we see in later generations, we don't know how long it will take to catch up.

Moreover, even in later generations, medicine has not reached its end.

There are still many problems that have not been solved.
Especially after thinking about some diseases that are highly contagious and extremely harmful.

Zhu Yuanzhang was suddenly seized by an impulse.

The goal is to issue a ban, explicitly prohibiting people from doing anything with apes or similar creatures.

However, considering that there are no gorillas in the Ming Dynasty, and that many people actually have a rebellious mentality.

It would be better if they didn't mention it themselves; if such a ban were actually issued, it would only draw more attention to the matter.

So, inevitably, someone will want to give it a try?
So, I only thought about it in my mind and didn't actually do it...

……

Luo Guanzhong's life has become extremely fulfilling, and he is living the life he had always dreamed of.

It would be no exaggeration to describe him as someone who writes tirelessly.

Moreover, he achieved success through writing novels, an industry that was previously not recognized by many.

The most obvious benefit is a promotion in official rank and status, along with a significant increase in income.

His teacher's family also made a considerable fortune from the publication and sales of Water Margin.

More importantly, this money is not just a single sum. As the Water Margin continues to be sold, a portion of the proceeds will be distributed to his teacher's family.

This process can last for a full thirty years.

He has fulfilled his promise to his teacher in a very high way.

Previously, I had only promised to find a way to publish my teacher's Water Margin so that his hard work wouldn't be wasted.

But now, not only has it spread, but it has also made the teacher's works famous throughout the world!

More importantly, it also allows teachers' families to receive a steady stream of income because of this book.

Life has improved significantly.

The teacher's family no longer needs to live as cautiously as before.

This was all brought by His Majesty.

Originally, he was worried that after finishing writing Water Margin, he didn't have any good ideas for writing a new book.

Who would have thought that His Majesty would summon him a few days ago and tell him about the idea of ​​the Investiture of the Gods?

Although it involves gods and Buddhas, His Majesty's idea is truly ingenious.

Even though he hasn't written it yet, he knows that once it's written, it will definitely be very popular.

It's even comparable to the Three Kingdoms he wrote!

It's just that... King Zhou only had two or three sons, yet he was accused of being licentious, immoral, and lustful, while King Wen had a hundred sons, only one of whom was an adopted son, yet he was said to be not lustful.

Something about this is rather odd.

However, setting aside these unimportant details, it's truly divine.

His Majesty really knows everything!
It was at this time that the gifts sent by Zhu Yuanzhang arrived.

Upon learning the request, I opened the app and immediately sat down and closed my eyes in deep thought.

He started writing in no time.

An article was written in one go, sent for typesetting, and prepared for printing.

The next day, the new Da Ming Daily was freshly printed... (End of Chapter)
