Volume 1: Birth! Seven time travelers Chapter 030 Primitive Capital Accumulation (V)
From birth to the time he had his own team after enlightenment, Zhu Youdong had actually thought deeply about the future layout for a long time in the four years. When choosing the first golden finger, he chose the field he was best at without hesitation: medicine.
In the historical plane, the significance of the cowpox vaccination method invented by British doctor Jenner in 1796 cannot be overstated (although it involved human experiments that are considered extremely inhumane today). What is even more valuable is that this method is simple, safe, efficient, and cheap - aren't the best medical methods pursuing these eight words?
It has been more than four years since I came here. According to the memory of humans and fish, the difference is only a matter of time. The shock that the vision when Zhu Youdong was born brought to the Ming emperor and his ministers is gradually fading. Especially under the premise that the Jesuit information network is spread all over the world, the six visions when the seven time travelers were born will sooner or later spread to the world. Zhu Youdong knew that it was time for him to take action and come up with something shocking.
He didn't plan to use this golden finger to make money, but to gain reputation: reputation is also raw capital. With this reputation of "Millions of Families Become Buddhas", he would have a great barrier to do something in the future.
Therefore, after Zhu Youdong explained , Wu Youxing, who was somewhat rebellious at first, knelt on his knees and paid homage, while the prince and eight teachers beside him were all so excited that they could not help themselves.
"What makes this a little difficult is that after Mr. Wu obtains the fluid from the cowpox, he needs to conduct experiments on living people. This experiment is divided into two parts. The first is to inject the fluid from the cowpox into this person's body. The second step is to wait for this person to recover, then find a person with smallpox and inject the fluid from the smallpox into this person's body. Although I am very confident and think this is safe, I have to conduct experiments on living people after all, so I am really uneasy..."
"Your Highness is a benevolent ruler, and Ming is lucky." After saying just one sentence of praise, Xiong Tingbi immediately changed his tone: "Although Ming is peaceful and prosperous now, if there is a famine, it is not uncommon for people to sell their children. I will find some when the time comes."
"What Feibai said is absolutely right. Your Highnesses, I think that in order to better verify the effectiveness of this cowpox implantation method, we need to conduct experiments on people of different genders, ages, and physical conditions. To find so many people, the best place is the Ministry of Justice. It just so happens that I am in charge of the Ministry of Justice in the cabinet, so when Doctor Wu comes up with something, you can leave it to me."
How can you guys be like this? Forget it, it's good enough for scholars of this era to be like this. At least they haven't said the nonsense of catching a few passers-by for experiments.
"Well, Your Highnesses, all the lords, these are things that a doctor cannot . Therefore, the first experimenter must of course be me."
"Mr. Wu is someone I will find great use for in the future, but you are right. This is something a doctor cannot avoid."
Zhu Youdong did not exaggerate when he said this; he spoke the truth.
What is the most important thing for a doctor? Of course, medical ethics! Otherwise, the higher the skills, the greater the harm. (Medical ethics does not mean to satisfy all the requests of patients, nor does it mean to give up the health of family and oneself for the sake of patients. It requires that all the means of work of doctors must be for the early recovery of patients.)
Secondly, of course, it is diligence. After all, medicine is something that is often learned from the experience of predecessors, and requires a lot of rote memorization. Without diligence, you can't learn it.
The third is to endure hardships and hard work. Studying medicine is hard , and practicing medicine is even harder. No matter how bad the patient's body is, whether it is a serious disease, body odor, sores, or even urine and feces, in order to understand the condition, you have to smell and see. As for the patients and their families who are emotionally agitated and speak ill of others because of the disease, you have to endure it.
The fourth is to be good at summarizing: Why was this patient cured? Why was that patient not cured? What is the reason? Only by constantly summarizing and summarizing can medical skills continue to improve.
The fifth is to be skeptical and innovative. Why couldn't the previous people cure this disease? What was wrong with their methods? What new ways are there? Only in this way can medicine continue to progress and continue to conquer terminal diseases one after another.
In this era, Wu Youxing is a great doctor who possesses the above five points. In the historical plane, during the Chongzhen period, when the plague was rampant, Chinese doctors were helpless with "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", "Danxi's Heart Method" and "Compendium of Materia Medica", and watched helplessly as "more than a hundred families in an alley, no one was spared, and dozens of people in a family, no one was left alive". It was Wu Youxing who geniusly pointed out that this plague was not an ordinary typhoid cold, but a new virulent infectious disease. He created new prescriptions such as Dayuanyin, which effectively curbed the disease. Later, he wrote a masterpiece such as "Treatise on Plague", which laid the foundation for the Warm Disease School.
If you are not impressed by these stories, then when SARS was rampant in 2003, Chinese doctors used a combination of Chinese and Western medicine to curb the condition of SARS patients. Among them, the representative of Chinese medicine involved was Dayuanyin, the basic formula.
Zhu Youdong instinctively regarded such people as his kind. In the future, there will be many things that need to rely on him: antibiotics are the golden finger, infusion therapy is also the key, and various surgeries will be carried out sooner or later. I am a medical time traveler. In the competition with the other six time travelers, I may not be able to climb the technology tree as a whole, but if I am not as good as the others in medicine, it would be a failure.
Zhu Youdong's status determined that he would be the emperor in the future and would be in charge of all national affairs. He could not personally handle all medical matters, so he had to have a medical expert to implement his ideas. This person was Wu Youxing.
Therefore, he did not avoid Wu Youxing at all in his next words.
"Gentlemen, I have a request."
"Please speak, Grandson."
"Please keep this matter confidential. Once Mr. Wu has achieved results and has obtained confirmation, please report to Grandpa Huang."
"Your Majesty is right. For such a major event that concerns the people's livelihood, of course we must report it to the emperor only after it has proven to be effective."
"Well, this is certainly one reason. I also want to say that half a month has passed since the Lantern Festival, and my uncle is still in the capital and has not returned to his fiefdom. So..."
Although Zhu Youdong knew that even in the historical plane, Zhu Changluo would eventually sit on the throne without his birth and help, but now as Zhu Changluo's eldest son, he still felt extremely angry when he saw Zhu Changxun, as an adult prince, still shamelessly staying in Beijing.
I'm under so much pressure, how can I care about you, a fat guy! The throne is naturally my father's, and it must be mine too. Don't even think about it, don't even drool at the sight of that position!
Therefore, he said this very bluntly at this moment, which means: if this matter is done well, it will be a powerful tool to completely stabilize the position of the crown prince. Gentlemen, will you publicly express your position and stand in a team?
"Don't worry, Grandson. I clearly submitted a petition fifteen years ago, requesting that the eldest son of the Emperor be made the Crown Prince. Today, the position of Crown Prince has been decided, and no villains are allowed to have any unreasonable thoughts."
"Don't worry, Grandson. Although I had not yet entered the government fifteen years ago, my fellow villagers, relatives and friends all had the same attitude as Elder Shen. Now, I know what to do."
"Your Majesty, in the West, once the successor is determined, there can be no change. I highly approve of this system."
"Uh... I will obey the orders of the Crown Prince!"
