Chapter 8: Qing Dynasty Small County Lord 8

As an emperor of a country, it is actually quite easy to do anything. Soon the people below found cowpox, and then the imperial physician conducted experiments on the death row prisoners. Haas suggested that the death row prisoners do experiments. Otherwise, in this feudal society, people would probably not take human lives seriously.

If she didn't say it, they might just use the servants to do experiments. After all, in their eyes, those slaves are not human at all. Fortunately, Kangxi, whom she proposed, could accept it. Anyway, they were all death row prisoners, so it would be good to make some contributions before death.

A month later, Kangxi received the report from the imperial physician, confirming that cowpox could indeed prevent smallpox. He was immediately overjoyed. The next day, he announced the matter at the dynasty meeting and praised Princess Mingyu, who was smart and clever, who discovered this matter.

Haas, a woman who can be praised in front of all officials, is rare, but the discovery of cowpox is indeed a great achievement, and all officials in the court said nothing.

Then it was promoted. Promoting Haas naturally couldn't help, but she could suggest that, for example, the current method of planting beans is to blow the bean pod powder directly into her nose. Haas suggested that a cut through the arm that only breaks the skin and bleeds will make it safer to touch the soy milk.

Then there is promotion, and the people will definitely not believe it. At this time, if the royal people can lead by example, there will definitely be more people who believe it.

"Uncle Emperor, you originally planned to plant smallpox for your cousins, so just do some publicity, so that you can regain the hearts of the people." Haas suggested.

"Regain the hearts of the people?" Kangxi was still very moved. He originally felt that there was no need for the royal family to take the lead. After all, this was just concluded. It is still uncertain whether it is 100% safe, but he was moved when he heard the saying of regaining the hearts of the people.

"In fact, the people's hearts are very simple. For those ordinary people, they don't care who is the emperor. As long as the emperor can make them eat and wear well, and do not pay heavy taxes to make them unable to survive, they will not resist.

As long as we do this, even if we are foreign tribes, we will be accepted by them." Haas did not hope that the Qing Dynasty would last forever, but he hoped that Kangxi could do better and make the people live a better life.

"Has sees it very clearly." Kangxi naturally knew that this was the real way to be the king, but how could Haas know so much.

"When I was on the grassland, I often heard those tribes say which tribe's leader is good, how is the tribe doing under his leadership? If only they were from which tribe, I think the people think the same."

Then Haas added: "Just like Mongolia, in which dynasty and the other dynasty, Mongolia did not go south to plunder, but why didn't the Qing Dynasty? I was afraid of being beaten by the Qing Dynasty. Of course, it was not. There were no dynasties that had hit them hard in the past few days, but after a while of silence, they still went south.

The reason why Mongolia was so obedient was that the Qing Dynasty allowed Mongolians to eat enough, and they would not have no food because they froze to death in winter. They were hungry and had to rob them, so Mongolia was tamed.

This is true in Mongolia, and even more so in Han people. As long as they are full and still have hopes of living, they will not rebel.”

Haas said these words from the Qing Dynasty. Time himself regarded as a Manchu rather than a Mongolian, so it was more persuasive.

And what she said is the truth. Although the Mongolians raise cattle and sheep themselves, they do not eat much meat. Most of the time they eat various dairy products, and the meat they eat is rabbits, mice, or cattle, sheep and horses that die unexpectedly.

Otherwise, why did the Mongols invade every winter before the Qing Dynasty? Of course, Has did not whitewash the Mongols, but in fact it was because of the hard life. The Mongols never thought of changing. They just wanted to go south and rob for a while, and then go south again when they couldn't hold on again.

Why did the Qing Dynasty not go south? Because Mongolia was defeated by the former Jin Kingdom of the Qing Dynasty before its establishment. Although there were still some remaining tribes who did not obey the Qing Dynasty's discipline, such as the Junggar who had personally fought several times in history, in order to eliminate these Mongolian tribes that were not under the control of the Qing Dynasty.

During this period, the Qing Dynasty always married Mongolia with princesses to appease the Mongolian tribes, and regularly supported some material shortages. Otherwise, the Mongolian tribes that could not survive would not care whether the Qing Dynasty had gathered them.

But even so, the Qing Dynasty was not at ease with Mongolia, otherwise one princess after another would not marry into Mongolia, and even if they had no children, they would not care about it.

Of course, relying solely on princess marriage is definitely not enough. The Qing Dynasty was able to control Mongolia for many years and was more relying on material and economic assistance. Otherwise, with the Mongolian conditions, even if there is a threat of force from the Qing Dynasty, it would not be able to control so much when hungry.

Therefore, in a sense, the Qing Dynasty was actually equivalent to economic constraints on Mongolia to achieve the obedience of the Mongolian tribes today.

And she would say this, and naturally she hoped that Kangxi would be more tolerant when dealing with the Han people and less literary inquisition. Of course, she didn't expect these words to have an impact. She just built a foundation first and took the rest later.

Anyway, Kangxi finally agreed to let the princes grow beans first as a role model. However, before that, Kangxi still asked some eunuchs and maids who had just entered the palace to do some experiments and confirmed that there was no problem before he let the princess who were three years old go to plant beans.

Haas volunteered to help take care of them, and Kangxi naturally agreed. Haas had learned some medical knowledge at least. Although there was no smallpox in modern times, it was still fine to take care of it.

Half a month later, all the princes and princesses successfully planted beans safely, and then they were promoted. After all, although they would not be able to do so, there are many people who die once smallpox is raging. Even if they are not contagious, as state managers, it is not good to have too many people die.

Besides, growing vowel is actually not a problem. You just need to take a few days off after growing vowel. Why don’t you promote things that don’t cost money?

Of course, it must be given to all officials, the Aisin Gioro clan and the Eight Banners to the first planting of those ordinary people.

Seeing this, Has took Saiyin Chahun, Yinzhen, Yinreng, Yinzhu, Yinli, and Yinzhi to take the initiative to ask for the promotion of smallpox epidemic prevention work.

Kangxi agreed with a wave of his hand, and Has took the six princes to make arrangements.
