Chapter 267 Cat and mouse? The Black Death is really scary

The Northeast region can be self-sufficient and even feed back to the Central Plains, which should have been in the 20th century in history.

The reason is that the crisis in the northeast border was unprecedentedly strong, and the Qing court had to lift the ban on reclamation; on the other hand, the "Dingwu strange desert" broke out in the Central Plains, Shandong, Zhili, Henan and Shanxi, and a large number of disaster victims flocked to the Northeast.

Because the journey to Kanto was long at that time, people at that time called it "Chuangguandong".

This is history, but how could Zhu Youxiao, who was familiar with the direction of history, make the stupid mistakes of the Qing Dynasty?

Retired officers and soldiers from Liaodong were given a large amount of land, tax incentives were given to the Liao people, and land reclamation was encouraged. After pacifying Liao, the major development in the northeast opened the official curtain.

Some people would say that the Little Ice Age was colder in the Northeast and was even less suitable for human survival. Then Zhu Youxiao wondered, the tribes of Outer Mongolia and Tsarist Russia, which were further north of the Northeast, were they all died of starvation?

Obviously, the impact of the Little Ice Age is huge, but it is not insurmountable, or it is defeated. What is more terrifying than natural disasters is man-made disasters, and Zhu Youxiao has a clear understanding of this.

Several people had tea and chat, both joking and intellectual discussion, and the atmosphere was harmonious and enthusiastic.

Although the Academy of Sciences is still in the city, the chemistry laboratory has moved to the suburbs. Zhu Youxiao is afraid that some people will make random tricks, create toxic and harmful things, or even make a big explosion.

There is also a manufacturing department that is very noisy and requires a lot of operating space, which has moved away, which has not many students in the Academy of Sciences and has become much quieter.

Despite this, some students came to sit down and drink tea and chat.

This is also the rule of the Academy of Sciences that Zhu Youjiao agreed and implemented. This spacious hall is like a relaxing teahouse and a salon for gatherings. When everyone is free, they are talking about it here.

Zhu Youzhai has been to the Academy of Sciences for a limited number of times and has not known many students, but Wang Jizhong and others have long spread his reputation.

Mr. Shen Lang is very knowledgeable. The textbooks we learn are compiled by others. Not to mention the kind of experts behind it, they are indeed talented and said that they are "unable to ask".

Zhu Youxiao really didn't know that Xu Fuyuan and others had blown themselves to the sky, and they were very proud and proud of having friendship with Mr. Shen.

"This is Mr. Shen, so young?"

"Following his extraordinary demeanor, his background is either rich or noble."

Some people admire, some people discuss, and of course some people ask questions.

Zhu Youxiao's face is Hexi, and he will answer questions and questions from these people are still difficult. Don't just do any quantum and relativity theory.

Fan Xiaohui, who was standing behind her, was startled at first, but she didn't expect that the emperor knew so much, but she had never told them. Later, she had a lust and felt that she was very honored as a maid.

"Everything in the world has its own principles of operation. Some have been studied and understood, and some have yet to be explored." Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "For example, pulling a cart or pushing a cart, which saves energy and why does it save energy? It is also a science to expand it."

"This is physics." Xu Fuyuan and Fan Xiaohui had the same idea. The more talented Shen Lang was, the more shiny his face was. "If you don't study it, you will find that it is as deep as the sea of ​​knowledge, and it will not be enough for a lifetime."

Don’t say that your whole life is still researching hundreds of years later.

Zhu Youxiao smiled and agreed with this. What made him even more gratified was that he laid the foundation for natural science for the Ming Dynasty, and the dissemination and development of knowledge should not be cut off.

"The food here is good. Brother Chen, do you want to taste it?" Wang Jizhong proposed the invitation in anticipation and glanced at Fan Xiaohui with uncertainty.

Zhu Youxiao smiled and waved his hand and said, "There's no need. I can't have any leisure time. Today is an exception. I've never been outside for so long."

As he said that, he stood up and bowed to everyone, saying, "Sorry, Chen is plagued by earthly affairs, and now he is about to say goodbye. Next time, he will talk to all the wise men and discuss knowledge."

"Young Master Chen is polite, you can be called a wise man. We will all benefit a lot from listening to your words."

"I really want to ask a few more questions. Mr. Chen's answer is clearer than that of the teachers in the college."

Everyone bowed their farewell and there was a lot of praise.

Wang Jizhong and Xu Fuyuan sent the emperor to the gate, but then said goodbye, and were reluctant to leave.

The emperor walked to the streets of the capital again, and the maid was slightly behind. She suddenly slapped her big eyes and turned her thoughtful eyes to the emperor from time to time.

A black shadow suddenly jumped out of a corner not far away and soon disappeared into an alley.

"It's a cat." Fan Xiaohui's eyes were very sharp. Seeing that the emperor stopped, he hurriedly explained.

"The cat caught a mouse." Zhu Youxiao also saw that it was a cat, but he couldn't help but frown when he saw the cat holding a living thing in his mouth.

Fan Xiaohui was not surprised. It is not natural for cats to catch rats. In order to prevent mice, raising cats is the most common way for people with conditions.

But she didn't know what the emperor thought of, it was a great plague associated with a major disaster, and the saying "Rat destroys the Ming Dynasty" was not completely unreasonable.

Historical records: The plague swept across North China in the late Ming Dynasty, and the death toll in the capital alone reached one-fifth. When Li Zicheng attacked, the capital was almost a dead city where "humans and ghosts were mixed, and people dared not move at dusk."

There will be a major epidemic after the disaster, which should be an unchanging rule. Based on the current medical and sanitary conditions, can the outbreak of the plague be prevented?

The emperor frowned and suddenly found that he had to face the major problem of frequent disasters and food shortages.

Ecological destruction, abnormal climate, hungry people scattered and fled famine, and various factors have led to the raging of strange plagues that are "not found in ancient and modern books".

When it comes to plague, no one may find it terrible, but when it comes to the Black Death, more than 25 million Western barbarians died in the Middle Ages.

Zhu Youxiao did not have hope for vaccines, special medicines, etc. He was not a medical major, and there was no such condition in ancient times.

Fan Xiaohui didn't understand why the emperor was fine, but when he saw a cat and a mouse, he became frowning. He had a gloomy face and no longer spoke when he returned to the palace.

Our cats don’t catch mice, they’re clean! I’m going to make a joke to let the emperor go, but the girl still didn’t dare.

The emperor returned to the Ganqing Palace and did not even pass the meal, so he sat in the imperial chair and frowned and thought. This time, he encountered a big problem, a big difficulty that was difficult to solve.

But he had to think of a solution, which could not be completely prevented or completely cured, but at least so many people could not die. More than 10 million people were gone, nine out of ten families were empty, and the whole family died. It was a miserable scene.

A rumbling sound interrupted the emperor's sorrow, and turned around and saw Fan Xiaohui with red clouds on her face.

"Send the meal!" The emperor smiled bitterly and raised his hand to order.
