I'm sure of the prosperous age of Kangxi and Qianlong!

Chapter 411 Microscopes

While Wang Zongtan was frantically plundering the population in Liaodong and disrupting the Manchu Qing's rear, a war was about to break out on the front battlefield in North Zhili.

Yu Kecheng must have learned about Liaodong Wang Zongtan's big move before the Manchus did, so he decisively divided his troops from Tianjin and moved north.

Yang Gong also left the battlefield in Shanxi and led his troops to Beijing to join forces with Yu Kecheng's troops, preparing to launch a decisive battle in Beijing.

But at this critical moment, Zhu Yijiong personally summoned a group of people in the Jinshen Hall.

Among these people are doctors, monks, and Taoist priests.

"The common people (poor Taoists and poor monks) pay homage to Your Majesty. Long live Your Majesty!"

The group of people, dressed in various colors, just knelt on the ground in Jinshen Hall.

"Let's all get up without courtesy!" Zhu Yijiong said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Everyone thanked En and got up.

Zhu Yijiong asked: "Do you know why I summoned you today?"

Everyone couldn't help but look at each other in shock. They were all suddenly summoned to Nanjing by the emperor's decree, saying that they would be allowed to work in Tai Hospital.But many of the people present were Taoist priests and monks, and one of them was Zhang Xilin, the Zhang Tianshi of Longhu Mountain who had just succeeded him a few years ago.

Zhu Yijiong did not ban the title of Duke Yan Shenggong, but only abolished the title of Confucius King and wiped out all the privileges of Duke Yan Shenggong.

Similarly, Zhang Tianshi also only retained his title and abolished his privileges. Last year, Zhang Tianshi's land was even divided.

Zhu Yijiong looked around and said with a smile: "No one knows? It shouldn't be! Didn't I make it clear in the imperial edict?"

Zhang Tianshi, Zhang Xilin, gritted his teeth and asked tentatively: "Your Majesty summoned the ministers, but you want them to be imperial doctors?"

"Yes and no." Zhang Xilin opened the conversation intelligently, and Zhu Yijiong also followed suit and said: "I wonder what you all think about the pharmacology of diseases in the world today?"

As soon as these words came out, and Zhang Xilin asked preconceived questions, everyone present finally felt a little more relaxed.

Especially the doctors thought that this was the emperor's interview to test their medical skills, and they all thought hard.

After a while, the oldest man, who was at least 50 years old, said: "The pharmacology of diseases in the world that your Majesty mentioned is too general. Not only is it difficult to explain, but it is also difficult for doctors to study them all."

Zhu Yijiong said: "It doesn't matter, the old gentleman can just talk about what he is good at."

The old man nodded: "The common people have spent their whole life studying febrile diseases and damp-heat, and everyone in the world classifies febrile diseases and damp-heat into typhoid fever. But the common people don't think so. The so-called crux of the so-called febrile diseases and damp-heat is that warm evils are affected by the upper body, first invade the lungs, and then travel backward to the pericardium. This is Warm-heat pathology. To treat it, it must be done in the Wei Han area. The Qi can be cleared when the Qi reaches the Qi. The heat can be transferred to the Qi after entering the Qi. The blood must be cooled and dispersed when the Qi enters. In this way, the disease will resolve itself."

In human terms, warm evil is the main cause of febrile diseases, instead of the traditional method of subduing cold and transforming into warm, completely getting rid of the shackles of typhoid fever.

This is actually the theory of the disease caused by Wu Youke, a great doctor in the late Ming Dynasty.

Zhu Yijiong was no longer the classical Chinese idiot he was at the beginning, and could understand a lot more. Although he didn't understand most of it, he could still hear the extraordinary nature of the old man's words.

At least in terms of febrile diseases, this old man is already considered a master of his generation, because he separated febrile diseases from typhoid fever.

Zhu Yijiong asked: "I wonder what your surname is, sir?"

The old man quickly replied: "Ye Gui, a common man."

Zhu Yijiong lowered his eyes and looked at the list on the case. Ye Gui, a famous doctor from Jiangnan, has an excellent reputation: "It turns out that it's Mr. Ye who's in front of you!" Ye Gui quickly handed over his hand: "I don't dare!"

In another time and space, Ye Gui was not only a famous doctor in the world, but also one of the four masters of febrile disease in later generations. He also had noble medical ethics throughout his life. Before his death, he warned his son: "You can do medicine but not do it. You must be talented and quick, read thousands of books, and then... You can use magic to help the world. Otherwise, there are few people who do not kill people, so they use medicine and bait as the blade. After my death, my descendants will be careful not to talk lightly about medicine."

Among the other three great masters, two were not yet born, and one was named Xue Xue. Historically, they did not start studying medicine until the imperial examination was completely hopeless during the Qianlong period.

But now, because he defected early, he is currently serving as an official in Henan and has already become a county magistrate. There should be no chance of becoming a famous doctor.

Zhu Yijiong said: "Since Mr. Ye just said that the disease enters through the mouth...someone, bring up the microscope."

microscope?What is this?
Including Ye Gui, all the doctors, Taoist priests and monks present looked at each other.

After being carefully carried up by two guards in front of the palace, I realized that the so-called microscope was not like a mirror at all, but more like a telescope, and it was also a weird-looking telescope.

Zhu Yijiong was quite excited. He stood up to demonstrate the operation in person and shouted to everyone: "Everyone, come and take a look."

Even the civil and military officials of the dynasty had to be extremely cautious when getting close to the emperor, let alone these doctors and Taoists who did not even have official status.

But soon, this restraint was replaced by the emperor's orders and the magical microscopic world under the microscope.

Ye Gui's slightly cloudy old eyes became brighter, and his whole person was full of energy, as if he was glowing with the second spring of his life: "Your Majesty, are these little bugs under the mirror all living things in the drop of water?"

Zhu Yijiong smiled and said: "This is water taken from my imperial garden. Moreover, is it possible that these bugs are what the old gentleman calls Wenxie, because the patient swallows these bugs into his body, which causes warmness Disease, that is, warm evil is affected by the disease and the disease comes from the mouth? "Compendium of Materia Medica" advocates drinking more hot water to prevent illness. Is it because the disease-causing bugs in the water are scalded to death by hot water, so that you will not get sick? ? Then there is malaria in Southwest China and Guangdong and Guangxi..."

Ye Gui murmured in shock: "That's it, that's it..."

In China, where there is no microscope, traditional Chinese medicine relies entirely on guessing the pathology. No matter how close it is, it can only be guessed based on experience and medical skills. Without actual evidence, it is easy to make errors in judgment.

In fact, even if the microscope appears, there will still be errors in judgment, but they will obviously be much less.

On the side, Wang Chunchun, a famous typhoid doctor who was also recruited, suddenly knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, please come to the Taiyuan Hospital. I am willing to accompany your Majesty for life."

"If you, the common people (ministers), please come to the Imperial Hospital, please give your Majesty's permission!"

When Wang Chunchuan started, all the other doctors, monks, and Taoist priests who had seen the microscope all reacted and knelt down together. Even Zhang Tianshi and Zhang Xilin knelt down after thinking about it.

Zhu Yijiong immediately smiled with satisfaction and said: "Excuse me! I recruited you here because I want you to enter the Taiyuan Hospital. This microscope is also given to you by the Taiyuan Hospital. From now on, you will use this microscope to study medicine."

"I will obey your Majesty's decree!" Everyone was overjoyed.

The microscope appeared as early as the end of the [-]th century, but at that time it was a toy between a Dutch father and his son and was not used for any scientific purposes.

It was not until Leeuwenhoek built the world's first true optical microscope 30 years ago, and used it to observe biological cells and bacteria, and used it for scientific research, that the microscope officially entered the scientific field.

By the way, Leeuwenhoek also died two years ago, that is, in the first year of Yongzheng's reign.

As for the microscope in Zhu Yijiong's hands, Huang Wu found several skilled craftsmen and spent a long time polishing it.

It doesn't have much technical content, it's just a waste of time and effort.

And this is just the first one. More precise optical microscopes with higher magnification will definitely be made in the future.
