I Build an Aircraft Carrier in the Ming Dynasty

Compared with Wu Changqing, Ouyang Shiqi is lucky, he only needs to worry about money.

And Wu Changqing, it is necessary to consider all aspects.

The economy wants to develop, people's livelihood cannot be left behind, and all kinds of social problems need to be dealt with by him.

He knows that with the drastic changes in society, a series of problems will inevitably breed.

For example, the impact of the gap between the rich and the poor cannot be ignored.

This gap between the rich and the poor does not refer to the gap between the rich and the poor between the common people and the rich, and between the common people and the rich. It has existed since ancient times.

What Wu Changqing needs to pay attention to is the impact of the gap between the rich and the poor between the common people.

In his previous life, he was a rural person born in the 1980s, and he happened to have seen the happiness problem brought about by this change with his own eyes.

In the rural areas of the 1980s and 1990s, everyone was poor, but everyone often gathered in the square to chat and laugh, and they could have fun even in the midst of suffering.

But as some daring people went out to work and earn several times more money than farming, the gap between the rich and the poor became more prominent.

The people around were suddenly better off than they were, and the rest of the people couldn't laugh anymore, and then went crazy into the big city to work hard.

Money is increasing in every household, and material life has been turned upside down.

But an astonishing fact is that their happiness decreased.

Every household is secretly competing, and comparison has become their only goal in life.

Wu Changqing had seen with his own eyes countless people who had no worries about food and clothing, and who had savings all day long, and quarrels broke out between husband and wife every day.

The reason may be that your car is one grade lower than your neighbor's.

There are many people who commit suicide because of this.

Wu Changqing felt that all of this was caused by the wealth gap between acquaintances.

People generally do not compare themselves with strangers. No matter how rich Jack Ma is, ordinary people will not be envious.

They usually make comparisons with their acquaintances. When acquaintances who were originally at the same level as themselves suddenly became rich, there would be a gap in their hearts.

I am not afraid that everyone is poor, but I am afraid that there will be a gap between them.

Today's Dahua is also experiencing this change.

Most of those who are bold enough to venture into big cities can earn much more than farming.

And these people made money, how could they not return to the village to show off?

Rich and noble do not return home, such as brocade clothing at night.

This has led to a sharp decline in the happiness of some people in the countryside.

This is actually a question of whether the people themselves can see it, but Wu Changqing, as an emperor and the highest authority, cannot ignore it.

The happiness of the people below is also his political achievements and what he pursues.

How to make people happy?

Of course, you can't give money to the poorer people. First, you don't have that much money. Second, you can only suppress the enthusiasm of those who work hard.

If you don't work hard and don't take risks and get subsidies, why work hard?

All Wu Changqing can do is make up for it elsewhere.

For example, to solve the diseases that afflict the people.

To make people less sick, to a certain extent, can also improve their happiness.

The most important thing is that this kind of thing is relatively simple and easy for Wu Changqing to do.

Such as eliminating the smallpox virus.

The smallpox virus has killed no fewer people in human history than war has killed.

The current era is still an era of talk of smallpox and discoloration.

Once infected with the large variola virus, the mortality rate is as high as 30%, and even the medium variola virus has a mortality rate of about 15%.

Even those who survived by chance will have many pitted bean marks on their faces, commonly known as pockmarks.

Such a terrible infectious disease has brought unprecedented panic to people.

The most famous thing is that when the Shunzhi Emperor chose his successor, he hesitated whether to choose the second son Fuquan or the third son Xuanye.

The Western missionary Tang Ruowang said a word that made him make up his mind. Tang Ruowang said that Xuan Ye had smallpox, but Fuquan did not.

Xuan Ye had passed this gate of hell, but Fuquan did not, so Emperor Shunzhi chose Xuan Ye to inherit the throne, which was later Emperor Kangxi.

But don't think that Emperor Shunzhi is unfounded, be careful.

Of his eight sons, four died young, and the remaining four, except Xuan Ye, did not live past the age of ten.

The children of the emperor's family are like this, and the ordinary people's family is naturally not much better.

The death of a child is actually quite common in this day and age.

Among the many reasons for these premature deaths, smallpox is an important one.

He was busy with development before, and Wu Changqing had no time or energy to engage in this matter that would benefit the country and the people.

And now, he finally took time out of his busy schedule to write down on a piece of paper, the national sanitation campaign, starting with the eradication of smallpox.

He wants to popularize the concept of hygiene throughout the country, requiring people to drink boiled water, and also requires frequent handwashing and other hygiene matters.

Of course, the main event is to eliminate the smallpox virus.

Although the smallpox virus is extremely terrifying in human history, it is still quite easy to eradicate, much easier than eradicating a cold.

Because the virus that causes colds is constantly changing and evolving, the smallpox virus is immutable.

Just use cowpox that is harmless to the human body for a single infection

species, people can be immune to smallpox virus for life in the future.

All Wu Changqing had to do was to tell the doctor about this method, and then send the doctor to all parts of the country to promote it, looking for cows with cowpox.

As long as it takes some time and money, it is not difficult to solve the smallpox virus.

And this political achievement is enough to be comparable to Shennong's taste of all kinds of herbs, and Dayu's water control.

By then, he will be further mythical.

Once the people's hearts of the world are gained, the regime will be more stable.

Wu Changqing wrote down everything he knew, and then ordered people to be sent to the Tai Hospital and the Ministry of Households, asking them to work together to get this matter done.

When Wu Changqing said that cowpox can prevent smallpox, people in Taiyuan Hospital were stunned.

All they know is that vaccination against human pox can prevent smallpox, and they have never heard of cow pox.

Moreover, Wu Changqing also vowed to say that the harm of cowpox vaccination to people is extremely low and can be ignored, which is an exaggeration.

You know, the failure rate of vaccination against human pox is extremely high.

The so-called inoculation of human pox is actually to take the pus from the sore of the smallpox patient and apply it to the skin.

This inoculation method depends on luck, because the symptoms of smallpox and smallpox are exactly the same in large and smallpox. If the lucky one is smallpox, the survival rate is high.

If the unlucky inoculation is large smallpox, then you can slap yourself.

After all, if you don't get vaccinated, you won't necessarily be infected, and if you are infected, there is only one-third of the mortality rate. And vaccination also has a one-third risk of death, which can be said to be blood loss.

"There is no danger, is this possible?"

The imperial hospital envoy couldn't help but say something, his words were a bit outrageous, and he dared to question the emperor.

However, the stakes are very important, and it goes against common sense, so he can't help but doubt.

The hospital judge said: "Master Lu is careful, this is what His Majesty said in person, when did His Majesty miss it? All we have to do is to verify and prove that it is effective and then promote it. If it is invalid, we will report it according to the facts. would be charged with disrespect."

The Luyuan made hearing that it made sense, so he began to follow the method given by Wu Changqing, and led people to search for cowpox in person and began to test.
