Chapter 201 The culprit is actually a mosquito?
Kangxi was about to leave, and the crown prince quickly helped to encourage him: "It's rare that my eighteenth brother is so concerned about the country and the people. Khan Ama should listen to him."
"Yes, yes, yes." Fifteen Kuang nodded: "Even if Khan Ama doesn't believe him, he has to believe Mr. Huang! He is an amazing man. From bicycles to microscopes, his inventions, big and small, always amaze the world."
Thirteen, Sixteen, and others also helped to speak in favor of Xiang.
Kangxi then reluctantly said, "Then tell me?"
After all, Yinxuan was young and had serious stereotypes. He thought that Kangxi did not attach importance to science and even sneered at it as a strange and cunning trick.
I never thought that my father and brothers could team up to play him.
Before replying, she did not forget to express her sincere gratitude to her brother with her eyes.
The corners of the prince's lips stiffened slightly, and he felt that the little conscience he had left was a little painful.
They also paid a lot for the Qing Dynasty.
Yinzhen, who had no idea, blinked his eyes and slightly curved his lips to reveal his gap teeth: "Khan Ama has ordered me to do so, so I will tell you. Hey, we have all seen microscopes. We should know that there are many microorganisms in the world that are invisible to the naked eye but really exist, right?"
Who could forget that?
Because of this, the Eighth Prince volunteered to go on a diplomatic mission to Korea!
After such a long time, they still clearly remember the redness around his eyes.
but……
Fifteen was curious: "Is there any necessary connection between them?"
"Of course there is!" Yin Xuan's eyes were full of seriousness, and he casually blamed Huang Luzhuang again: "Mr. Huang found through actual investigation that the so-called malaria is actually a disease transmitted by insects."
"It is mainly transmitted through the bite of Anopheles mosquitoes or transfusion of blood containing protozoa."
"Don't disbelieve me. Take a smear of the patient's blood and you can clearly see the eggs under a microscope!"
So is this the key to preventing malaria by killing mosquitoes?
Everyone finally understood.
He thought that famous scholars always leave clues in their books, and that Xiao Shiba was even more famous than the famous scholars.
After keeping them on suspense for more than half a year, the answer was finally revealed.
The old actor Kangxi pursed his lips tightly, finding it hard to accept.
In the 29th year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, he led the three armies to personally fight against Galdan. He thought he could accomplish his goal in one battle, but he was struck down by malaria halfway through the journey.
When I was sick and vulnerable, I missed my beloved son so much.
I sent someone on horseback to check on him, but the boy didn't look worried at all, and even looked a little expectant?
The relationship between him and Baocheng was no less than that between Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Biao, and a huge rift appeared at that time.
Kangxi felt that this kid had the intention of seizing power and he wished he would die soon.
The prince was always blamed for all kinds of nitpicking.
He became more cautious and more dependent on Soetu. The more he relied on Soetu, the angrier Kangxi became.
It's a vicious cycle.
Although the phrase "family members should not be bullied by outsiders" is not quite appropriate here, it was indeed the discord between him and Baocheng that gave the other rebellious sons and the sycophantic officials with their own ideas an opportunity.
Various things caused the two of them to drift apart. Until...
Now tell him that the culprit of all this is mosquitoes carrying only malarial parasite eggs?
Kangxi frowned, his voice a little dry: "Are you sure this is true?"
Uh-huh-huh.
Yin Xuan nodded vigorously: "Mr. Huang said it himself, and my son heard it sincerely. He also said that there are many bacteria and viruses in nature that are invisible to our naked eyes but really exist. If we are not careful, we can get a serious illness or even an epidemic."
"It's terrible."
[For example, plague is more tyrannical than smallpox. It killed one-third of the population of Europe. It is said that the demise of the Ming Dynasty was related to plague. The Chongzhen Shilu records that there was a great epidemic in the capital, and the death toll reached tens of thousands per day.]
[Another example is smallpox, which terrified the Qing Dynasty. It killed hundreds of millions of people over the past few hundred years.]
[Another example is cholera, which has had seven major pandemics in history, with a total death toll of 100 to 200 million…]
The loss of hundreds of millions of people at any time would make Emperor Kangxi shudder with fear.
Seeing this, Yinzhen waved his hands and said, "Haha, it's scary, but there are also preventive measures. Khan Ama and brothers don't have to panic. Mr. Huang is very talented and has many wonderful ideas. If they are promoted, they will surely benefit the country and the people."
"It's just that he is a person who only has two things in mind at the moment - research and more research. All his enthusiasm is focused on physics, and he only thinks about how to make instruments. As a result, many important discoveries have never been revealed to the public."
"But my son is Khan Ama's son, so naturally I have to help you solve your problems."
[Well, no matter what, let's get through this first. I'll slowly fool Mr. Huang later! I'll create a character for myself as a poor little prince who cares about the country and the people, has a head full of strange ideas, but is afraid of being outshined by his brothers. Crying in front of Mr. Huang should be able to persuade him to help me cover up the lie.]
[Well, as long as we can delay Kangxi's father, we can buy some time to collude with him. It's difficult, but not a big problem.]
Kangxi:......
He seriously suspected that this kid was treating him like a fool.
But the problem is that in order not to alarm this little auxiliary star, he can come up with many good prescriptions and wonderful methods without any scruples. This fool, he really has to pretend.
Kangxi's hands trembled slightly, and he hugged Yinzhen with surprise and joy in his eyes: "Good, good, good! Little Eighteen is really my good son. If it is true as you said, the epidemic in the world will not be completely eliminated, but at least half of it will be reduced, and the people who benefit will be even more numerous."
"Good boy, these few words of yours will benefit the present and future generations!"
Being falsely credited for his achievements again, Yin Xuan's face turned red like an apple. He nestled into his arms embarrassedly: "Well, I can't say that! It's mainly because Mr. Huang is so good..."
Knowing that he was just a proxy, how could Kangxi let him steal the credit for his own son's achievements?
They are both great, but compared to Mr. Huang, the discoverer, you, who presented it to the emperor and made it spread throughout the world and benefited the people, have made the greatest contribution.
Yeah.
The princes nodded repeatedly to show their approval.
The flattery came from all directions, and Yinzhen couldn't bear it: "No, didn't I say I would return to Beijing early this morning? I still have a lot of things to sort out, so I won't chat with you guys anymore."
He ran away, but halfway through he remembered the etiquette and hurriedly stopped and bowed: "Son, I'm leaving."
The little boy looked so cute that Kangxi laughed out loud.
Even the tension and anxiety caused by suddenly receiving the news that his four sons were all infected with the epidemic dissipated a lot.
I just hope that the 800-li express train can be fast enough to deliver the quinine to the fourth brother and his friends in time to help them turn the danger into safety.
In fact, the Fourth Prince and his men were guarding Guangzhou, and the thing they had the most was imported goods.
Why would it be necessary to send it across 800 miles to the capital city in an express manner?
Gelfin had already prepared it and presented it respectfully. The four masters were already well, but they kept it a secret in order to lure the snake out of its hole.
