To get rich quickly, you need to be simple and rough

Zhu Yuanzhang was quite cruel to his officials, often skinning and strawing them, sometimes with a murderous eye. But he was truly kind to the common people. During the Hongwu reign, Zhu Yuanzhang issued a law book called the Great Edict. No matter who was wronged or had a grievance, the common people could hold the Great Edict over their heads and come to Nanjing to file a complaint.

It was also stipulated that the provincial governments were not allowed to stop the protests and that food and drink should be provided to the protesters along the way. If anyone dared to stop them, Zhu Yuanzhang would give him a skinned and straw-stuffed meal.

How did this good emperor who loved his people like his own children become the cruel and tyrannical tyrant recorded in history books? Don't forget that Zhu Yuanzhang offended officials. Who were the officials?

Officials are of course scholars. Zhu Yuanzhang offended all the scholars in the world. Although the official history was strictly enforced by the royal family, it could not stop these scholars from making up unofficial history. The stories were all very weird, such as bombarding the building of meritorious officials and beheading any minister they disliked. If you, a scholar, don't follow their wishes, they will make you up in the unofficial history and make you infamous for eternity.

So what if Dengtuzi was a good man who loved his wife? Wu Dalang and Wu Zhi were both handsome men, yet they were still described as three-inch-tall tree bark!

Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely anxious when he saw the smallpox outbreak in Guangzhou. He quickly mobilized all the core forces of the Imperial Medical Bureau to go to Guangzhou to provide disaster relief. The crown prince led the imperial guards to assemble 3,000 elite soldiers to protect the crown prince's safety, and the crown prince's East Palace Secretary also followed.

Even though Xu Huizhen was a woman, Zhu Yuanzhang was not polite at all. This was smallpox and no joke. Zhu Yuanzhang wanted his son to gain political capital, but he didn't want his own son's life. Of course, Xu Huizhen was the best doctor in the Imperial Hospital at the moment. For such a dangerous matter, he must arm his son to the teeth!

Zhu Yuanzhang specifically summoned Xu Huizhen to the palace. Xu Huizhen understood the leader's intention. Disaster relief was important, but his son was more important, and there could be no mistakes. Zhu Yuanzhang was too worried about his son contracting smallpox.

Xu Huizhen and her entourage set off with the team, and the group took a boat straight to Guangzhou.

Guangzhou is now surrounded by soldiers and officers. With such a serious smallpox outbreak, how could the defenders dare to let anyone out? Now, only entry and exit are allowed in Guangzhou, and the areas with serious smallpox are heavily guarded.

The prince's camp was set up thirty miles away from Guangzhou. The prince's arrival was a spiritual symbol, and this group of people had to ensure the prince's safety even if the sky fell.

The doctors from the Imperial Medical Bureau wrote a prescription and handed over the medicinal materials they brought to the defenders. Now it is a great achievement to ensure that smallpox does not spread.

Xu Huizhen also felt a headache when she saw the raging smallpox. The simple and kind people of the Ming Dynasty had suffered too much. They had just been suffering from the torture of illness after a few days of peace under the tyranny of the Mongols.

Xu Huizhen felt that it was time to promote the cowpox vaccination method, as it was a good thing to save people from dire straits.

Xu Huizhen wrote a memorial to the prince to report her plan to study smallpox prevention!

Zhu Biao attached great importance to the memorial and asked the Chancellery, staff and Imperial Hospital to study whether this plan was feasible. Xu Huizhen explained her research in this regard with reason and evidence. The prince and the staff listened with great interest and their eyes were burning with excitement. If this succeeded, it would be a contribution that would go down in history.

Zhu Biao is the undisputed crown prince. He will be recorded in the history books as a wise ruler in the future and his name will be recorded in history books.

The Imperial Hospital was in an uproar. Xu Huizhen's popularity had already affected the interests of all the doctors in the hospital. They were all incompetent, so why did a talented person show up and make the whole group look so incompetent? We are all unlucky, but you are the only one who shines! You are the only one who can do it! You can even cure smallpox! Why don't you go to heaven?

The people who hate you are always your peers. Others have no vested interest in you and don't care whether you are good or bad. Only your peers hate you nakedly and wish you dead.

"Women are always short on knowledge and wisdom. Xu Huizhen, stop spreading rumors and misleading the public! How dare you deceive the Crown Prince! And you're even talking about cowpox! If you get infected with something like smallpox, you're in for a near-fatal accident! If something goes wrong, wouldn't it spread to even those who aren't sick?"

Doctor Zheng's face was red with anger! The dozen or so doctors didn't take Xu Huizhen seriously at all, and their spit flew everywhere! They seemed determined not to stop until Xu Huizhen was spitted to death!

The prince was extremely annoyed: "Shut up! Doctor Xu, are you sure?"

Xu Huizhen hurriedly reassured the prince: "I am 80% sure!"

Zhu Biao rubbed his brows and said, "Don't worry about anything else. I've ordered all the death row prisoners in Guangdong to be brought to you for testing! I'll also send people to find the cow with smallpox. Just focus on your work. I'll take care of the rest. If this succeeds, I'll personally go to my father to ask for credit for you! As long as you can save the people from disaster, my Ming Dynasty will not hesitate to give you high positions and generous salaries!"

Xu Huizhen felt that she had followed the right boss. Zhu Biao's sophistication and magnanimity were truly superior to all of Zhu Yuanzhang's sons. As long as Zhu Biao had the support of civil and military officials, no vassal king would dare to challenge him!

Xu Huizhen started experimenting with cowpox twenty miles away from the prince!

Sixty-seven death row prisoners in Guangdong were also brought to Xu Huizhen.

Xu Huizhen first disinfected the inoculation site with an alcohol cotton ball, collected pus from the sick cow, and used a sharpened wooden thorn to dip a little of the pus into the arm of the death row prisoner. She did this three times in a row and the effect was resolved.

These condemned prisoners were supposed to be executed someday, but now they're happy to be spared! A good death is worse than a bad life. A few stabs in the arm are nothing! Being alive is good enough, and here I can actually eat white rice and a bowl of broth every day. It's like a mouse falling into a rice jar, so happy!

After the vaccination, all the death row prisoners developed a low fever in the afternoon. Fortunately, they were all strong and could bear it. Three days later, all the death row prisoners were jumping around happily and showed no signs of dying. The guards drove them into an empty room.

There were smallpox patients' underwear in the room. After another seven days, none of the condemned prisoners had contracted smallpox! The guards were so excited that their hands and feet were shaking. They pulled a firework from their waist, lit it, and threw it into the open space!

With a bang, colorful fireworks rose into the sky. The prince was as happy as a child when he saw the fireworks rising into the sky in the camp! The defenders of the entire camp jumped up with excitement!

The condemned prisoners were stripped naked. The guards prepared bath water, and each was given a bar of fragrant soap. They were then washed thoroughly from head to toe! They were sprayed with alcohol, and the room where the condemned prisoners had been staying, along with their changed clothes, was doused with kerosene and burned to the ground.

Xu Huizhen and her group were also vaccinated with cowpox, including everyone in the prince's camp!

The prince breathed a sigh of relief. This meant he had an extra life!

Xu Huizhen's cowpox vaccine was successfully promoted in Guangzhou. There were so many people vaccinated that the prince mobilized 300 cows and locked them up together with the cows with smallpox!
