I'm a big dick

Chapter 394
For this huge number of vassals, Zhu Youxiao had quite a headache, and he also knew that he could not be too tough before Ping Liao and She'an Rebellion.

But this does not mean that he has no means of gradual reform, taking back the "imperial bestowal", that is, Zhuangtian; taking back the privilege, that is, the benefits of salt and iron in the hands of some vassal kings.

All of these should be attributed to the state, and only the vassals will be given the prescribed salary, and they will not be allowed to reach out to make money.

At the same time, Zhu Youxiao also opened Zongxue, allowing the children of Zongfan to go to school, allowing Zongfan to give up Juelu and become a citizen, and to engage in occupations such as scholars, farmers, businessmen, etc.

Although there are still many suzerains who want to continue to get something for nothing, there are also some suzerains who have seen the emperor's malice; or low-level suzerains feel that their salary cannot support their families, so it is better to get a subsidy from the court and think about other things way out.

Ever since Emperor Jiajing introduced the "Regulations on the Suzerainty and Vassal", there have been strict restrictions on the suzerainty's succession to nobles, land grants, daily expenses, and even the number of wives and concubines.

But this well-known ordinance is still difficult to solve the root cause.The most critical "fixed children" is not mentioned at all.The role of parasites of the descendants of feudal kings remains unchanged.

Therefore, although Zhu Youxiao did not immediately implement the most critical one, he instructed the Ministry of Rites to strictly review the suzerain's invitation and conferment, so as to block the survival of the parasites.

Suzerains and vassals who do not have titles will not be supported by the court, and will have no way of life.Accepting the arrangement of the imperial court and going to Zongxue to learn some self-supporting work may be the only option not to starve to death.

For the well-known suzerains, especially the princes and county kings with relatively rich incomes, Zhu Youxiao had previously adopted the method of borrowing funds to invest in the construction of banks, and used the dividends to make up for part of the expenses of Dai Lu. .

Now, Zhu Youxiao is going to implement a salary package system for the vassal kings.No matter how many children you have or how many relatives you have, the cost will remain the same.

Every vassal king has many close relatives of the royal family. They have nothing to eat and ask the vassal king to ask for it, which has nothing to do with the court.Waiting for the feudal king to be too poor to eat... Well, with their family background, they should be able to survive for a few years, right?
Zhu Youxiao pursed his lips sarcastically, ordering the palace servants to take his decree to the cabinet for discussion and decision.

The official's malice towards the suzerain vassal, not to mention full, should also be malicious.Even if it is for the sake of social stability, it is just a little relaxation.

Zhu Youxiao didn't think that such a boiled frog-like suppression would make a certain vassal resentful.Since Emperor Yongle cut down the vassals, it is not uncommon for the vassal kings to rebel, but it is difficult to achieve success.

What's more, the factory guard that Zhu Youxiao relied on and supported was doing nothing?Was the Ming army, which was vigorously organized and reformed, a vegetarian?The emperor's disciples assigned to various places through martial arts are all idiots?

As long as these three things are firmly in his hands, Zhu Youxiao is not afraid of anyone who can turn the world upside down.

While thinking about it, the palace servants went inside to report, and female doctor Yang Hanyi came to see him.

Zhu Youxiao thought about it, and it wasn't a day for the routine inspection of the harem. I don't know what she came for.But since he's here, he's fine, and there's no reason for him to disappear.

The palace servants called, and the female doctor Yang Hanyi brought Taoyan into the palace to meet him.

Taoyan was still carrying the basket, and Fat Cat was still ignoring anyone lazily.

The little girl has grown taller and has more energy, and it is very easy to carry the basket. I don't know if she exercises with the cat basket every day.

Zhu Youxiao said warmly: "Yang Qing is flat, and I give you a seat."

Yang Hanyi sat on the embroidered pier after thanking him, pondered for a while, and then said: "Long live, I heard that you have summoned Fu Jiasheng from the Ningguo Mansion to enter the palace to plant 'Taiping Pox' for the little princess?"

Zhu Youxiao nodded and said, "It's true."

Yang Hanyi hesitated for a moment, and said, "Long live, although the 'Taiping Vaccine' of the Fu family in Ningguo Mansion claims that 'there are no accidents in planting flowers', I think we should be cautious."

It was once said that vaccination was invented in the Song Dynasty, but the real invention of human pox technology was in the Longqing period of the Ming Dynasty.

Not only the "Pox Ke Jin Jing Fu Ji Jie" clearly stated that "the vaccination method began in the Longqing period of the Ming Dynasty", Huang Baijia, the son of Huang Zongxi, a survivor of the Ming Dynasty, also recorded that Fu Sichuan, the great-grandfather of Fu Shanglin, who vaccinated the vaccine in the early Qing Dynasty, was famous for his vaccination technique.

Zhu Youxiao is very concerned about the health of his children and his own women in the harem.In his impression, there was vaccination in ancient China.

Therefore, he asked someone about it, and he also learned about the "human pox technique" of the Fu family in Ningguo Mansion.Based on his knowledge, he believed that "human pox" was completely reliable, although many imperial physicians expressed doubts about it.

At that time, according to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, smallpox was mainly attributed to fetal poisoning. The so-called "eat five viscera and blood, and lay down on the gate of life".

In the Ming Dynasty, there was a breakthrough in understanding. Gong Xin's "Ancient and Modern Medical Review" pointed out that although acne is related to fetal poison, it may not be caused by various diseases.

During the Wanli period, the viewpoints included in "Boji Rare Pox Prescriptions" compiled by Guo Zizhang had a more accurate view on the cause of smallpox, which was very close to the description of the mechanism of infection of this virus according to modern medicine.

But close does not mean the same, the medical field as a whole still regards fetal poisoning as the main cause.If the theory cannot keep up, it is naturally difficult to popularize the "human pox technique".

Zhu Youxiao summoned Fu Jiasheng to Beijing. Although his relatives were important, his ultimate goal was to promote it throughout the country and form regulations to completely eradicate smallpox in Daming.

Yang Hanyi's suggestion to be cautious is naturally out of kindness and limited by knowledge, Zhu Youxiao does not blame him.

Although he is not proficient in medicine, it does not prevent Zhu Youxiao from knowing some principles of immunology.Tell Yang Hanyi that in the future, her clinic will also be able to help promote "human pox surgery".

"Long live means, this..." Yang Hanyi was confused by the immunity and antibodies mentioned by the emperor, and asked with his eyes wide open: "It is to let a good person get the disease, and then he will not get this disease again ?”

Zhu Youxiao had to think about it, because he was not a professional doctor, so he had to think carefully about his wording to make it clear, "It's not really contagious, but this, this human pox has been cultured repeatedly, and its toxicity is already very low. People can produce antibodies, but they don't actually get sick."

Yang Hanyi didn't understand the new terms very well, nor did he understand the theory of Wanzai very well, but he didn't know where to ask.

Taoyan blinked her big eyes, as if she had figured out something, she bowed and said, "Long live, does this mean that patients who are cured of smallpox will never get it again?"

Zhu Youxiao's eyes lit up, he stretched out his hand and tapped Tao Yan, and said with a smile: "Yes, that's it. Those who have survived smallpox and have antibodies in their bodies will not be infected again. This is the principle of smallpox surgery , Toxicity does not make people sick, but it will induce the body's reaction and produce antibodies, so you won't get smallpox in the future."
