Chapter 609: Tongan County sent a letter to the Ministry of Works and Ministry of Revenue? I'll
"Doctor...?" Yue Zhenchuan stood up on his knees, subconsciously looked at the memorial in the emperor's hand, and then said in disbelief: "You mean, Lord Shen had already expected that Lu Sichu would start with the people?"
this......
How is this possible?
Lord Shen not only anticipated what the other party would do, but also came up with a plan to deal with it?
How sharp a person must be to be able to do this?
The emperor took the memorial and read the last page sentence by sentence: "After a great disaster, there will be a great epidemic. I believe Shen Qing also thought of this. But she probably didn't expect that the one in Xingning Prefecture would be smallpox."
Yes.
The emperor's words were like a wake-up call, bringing Yue Zhenchuan back to reality.
Lord Shen expected Lu Sichu to make a fuss about the epidemic, but what could he do? He sent a doctor to help, but what could he do?
Not to mention those folk doctors, even the imperial physicians, none of them dared to pat their chests and guarantee that "I can cure smallpox."
Yue Zhenchuan paused, shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Smallpox is a natural epidemic..."
Before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by the emperor: "Yu Jiusi said that the doctor has a way to cure smallpox. After delivering the message, they set out for Xingning Prefecture."
"What?!" Yue Zhenchuan stared at the memorial in the emperor's hand and asked subconsciously: "Did you...did you see it clearly?"
Maybe Yu Jiusi wrote “The doctor has no way to cure smallpox”, but the angry emperor thought it was “The doctor has a way to cure smallpox”?
The emperor's face darkened upon hearing this, and he threw the memorial directly into his arms, saying unhappily, "I am too lazy to talk to you, you can read it yourself."
Yue Zhenchuan felt a sharp pain in the chest from the corner of the memorial.
He rubbed his chest with a grimace, then unfolded the memorial and looked straight to the last page, where one sentence stood out.
——"Doctor Li has found a method to prevent and treat smallpox, called 'vaccination', and is waiting to go to Xingning Prefecture for testing. This method can prevent the spread of smallpox, but it is useless for patients who have already contracted smallpox."
After this passage, Yu Jiusi further explained in detail what "cowpox vaccination" meant, which left Yue Zhenchuan stunned again and again.
If a person is infected with "cow smallpox", he will not be infected with smallpox again?
Yue Zhenchuan knew these words separately, but when they were put together, Yue Zhenchuan felt like he had become an illiterate.
He rubbed his eyes in disbelief and looked at it again.
It’s really written like this!
How is this possible? !
He swallowed his saliva, handed the memorial back, and asked the emperor carefully: "Your Majesty, do you... do you believe it? I'd better set off immediately to Xingning Prefecture to prevent the epidemic."
Your Majesty, I'm sure you won't believe such a fantastic thing!
"Believe it." The emperor said directly.
"Why?" Yue Zhenchuan glared and pointed at the memorial rudely, "Your Majesty, let's not talk about whether cow body fluids are dirty or not, and whether people will get sick if they touch them. Let's just say that they are both smallpox, how can they be different?"
"Dong——" the memorial fell back into his arms, and the emperor pointed back: "Mr. Yue, do you understand who this doctor works for?"
Yue Zhenchuan was stunned.
Do you still need to watch it?
"Your Majesty, didn't you say before that this doctor was sent by... Lord Shen?"
"That's right!" The emperor narrowed his eyes and said, "Since it was the doctor sent by Shen Qing, he must be no ordinary person. If he was not absolutely sure, how could the doctor dare to assert that there is a way to prevent and treat it? Is he afraid of losing his life?"
"......" Yue Zhenchuan felt that things didn't work out that way, and whispered: "Your Majesty... Even if Lady Shen is very talented, it doesn't mean that every one of her subordinates can be outstanding..."
Your Majesty, your love for the whole family is too much!
The emperor looked at him for a while and stopped arguing with him. "I have sent people and imperial doctors to Xingning Prefecture. We will know whether the cowpox treatment is effective or not in a few days. Lu Sichu will be escorted back to the capital in a few days. As for the Ministry of Works...you should keep an eye on it."
Yue Zhenchuan then realized that the emperor had arranged the affairs of Xingning Prefecture before summoning him to the palace to scold him.
Asking him to keep an eye on the Ministry of Works is to let him "take a good look" to see who else in the Ministry of Works would beg for mercy for Lu Sichu.
"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"
The emperor glanced at him, walked slowly to the attendant in the west corner of the hall, and then extended his hand. The attendant respectfully handed him the notebook.
The emperor nodded as he read, and suddenly said, "There is another thing in the memorial, which is related to the calcined stone. I feel that this stone should be of great use in addition to epidemic prevention. Yue Qing, please take a look."
Yu Jiusi briefly mentioned the matter of dolomite in his memorial, but those few words still caught the emperor's attention.
Yue Zhenchuan was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then he obediently opened the memorial and read it carefully.
"Dalomite..." He had just found these words on the memorial when Eunuch Hong came in from the outer room with small steps. He walked to the side of the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Ji wants to see you."
Upon hearing this, Yue Zhenchuan's hand holding the memorial trembled and his scalp felt numb.
——Luckily, fortunately. I just got scolded, otherwise I would have been caught by Ji Benchang and laughed at.
"Go ahead." The emperor put down his daily record book, "I just happened to be looking for Mr. Ji for something."
Ji Benchang didn't know what had just happened in the hall.
He seemed to be in a good mood. He walked into the hall with brisk steps, bowed respectfully, and went straight to the point: "Your Majesty, I have received letters. One of them was sent back by Shen Xingjian from the Ministry of Revenue in Tongan County, and the other was sent back by Liang Fu from the Ministry of Works. I was asked to forward them..."
"Bring them all here!" Before Ji Benchang finished speaking, the emperor walked up to him, stretched out his hand and said, "I'll take a look first."
Ji Benchang looked at the unceremonious big hand, silently took out two letters from his arms and put them on it together.
Why is it different from what he thought?
He originally thought that he and Yue Laoze would each write a letter, and then happily read it to His Majesty, and finally let His Majesty comment on each of them to see whether Shen Xingjian of the Ministry of Revenue had made greater contributions or Liang Fu of the Ministry of Works had made greater contributions...
How come in the end His Majesty was happily reading the letter while he and the old villain Yue were just waiting?
After the letter was stolen, he had nothing to do and could only look around bored.
"Hey——" He quietly approached Yue Zhenchuan and asked him with a squint: "Your Majesty asked you to help read the memorials?"
Whether this statement is sour or not, you will know it as soon as you hear it.
This beautiful misunderstanding made Yue Zhenchuan straighten his back.
He straightened his expression, nodded solemnly, and lowered his voice very low: "Your Majesty trusts me, so he summoned me to review the memorials together."
"......" Ji Benchang rolled his eyes: "Of course the memorial is related to your Ministry of Works. You have to take a good look at it. His Majesty trusts you, so you can't make any mistakes."
Yue Zhenchuan was afraid that he would glance at what was in the letter, so he nodded and closed the memorial guiltily.
