Chapter 95 The Fifth Great Invention

"Young master, someone is visiting me." Liu Tie came to report to Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang looked at the sky. Someone came to visit just before dawn. It was too early: "Who? I came so early, can he be late?"

"Young Master, this person has come a lot." Liu Tie shook his head and said, "I'm called Nie Boshan. I heard that the young master is coming back, so I have to come once a day."

"Nie Boshan?" Zhou Yang raised his eyebrows and recalled it again. There was no historical figure named Nie Boshan in the Han Dynasty: "Is there anything wrong with him?"

"It's for his son." Liu Tie shook his head and said helplessly: "I want to find the general to bring his relatives to the army. I have never seen anyone as stubborn as him. I have come to visit him several times."

Since Zhou Yang became a famous general, there have been a constant stream of people visiting, some to cling to each other, some to gain a background, and some to let their children enter the army... There are all kinds of people, and Liu Tie is overwhelmed.

"What's his son's name?" Zhou Yang's curiosity became enormous.

"Call Nie Yi." Liu Tie said with a flash of light in his eyes: "A man who looks good and looks honest and honest is very smart. However, no matter how you look at him, he is not a soldier."

He really knows how to judge people by his appearance.

"Nie Yi?" Zhou Yang was surprised and suddenly found that his tongue was a size larger.

"Young Master, what's wrong?" Liu Tie looked at Zhou Yang with some confusion.

"I'll go see him now." Zhou Yang put the sword in the sheath and strode away.

"Young master has never seen these people, why did you suddenly change your mind today?" Liu Tie stroked his forehead in confusion.

Of course he didn't know what Zhou Yang was thinking. Zhou Yang's history was not good enough, but he also knew the character Nie Yi. He was a famous spy in Chinese history and the planner of the "Mayi Incident".

Although the Mayi Incident failed in the end, it was of great significance. It was a watershed between the Han-Hungarian relations. From then on, the Han Dynasty and the Huns officially broke up and attacked each other.

Mayi is a place name, a pass on the border between the Han and the Huns. It was one of the most active trading places between the Han Dynasty and the Huns at that time. Nie Yi was a natural spy. He used his identity as a merchant to cover up and trade in the Huns, which was very trusted by the Huns.

At that time, Xizhizhixie, the Xiongnu Khan, was interested in Nie Yi, so he sent someone to call him to the tent and ask about Nie Yi's current situation. Because Mayi once led his troops to plunder Yi Zhixie, this was just a casual question. Nie Yi lost his tongue and said Mayi to be a paradise, where there were endless silks, endless tea, and endless porcelain... To sum up, it was that Mayi was so fat that it was oily.

Yi Zhixie was moved by the heart and decided to loot Mayi. In order to confirm Nie Yi's words, he secretly sent someone to Mayi to inspect, and the result was exactly the same as Nie Yi said.

Yi Zhixie finally made up his mind and mobilized 80,000 troops, headed straight for Mayi, ready to plunder once.

What he absolutely could not have expected was that Nie Yi had reported this to Emperor Wu of Han long ago. In order to cooperate with this operation, Emperor Wu of Han sent people to pretend to be doing business in Mayi. Mayi seemed particularly prosperous and deceived the spies of the Huns.

When Yi Zhixie led his army to come, Emperor Wu of Han mobilized 300,000 troops to set up an ambush in Mayi. At the beginning, things went very smoothly, and the Hun army led by Yi Zhixie and rushed towards Mayi.

However, a mistake soon occurred. The Huns discovered cattle and sheep all over the mountains, but no one was found. Yi Zhixie was a shrewd man, and he was suspicious. He sent troops to attack the nearby fortress and captured a leader of the Han army. After asking, the leader told the truth. Yi Zhixie was frightened and sweated in a cold sweat. He killed Nie Yi on the spot and led his army to escape.

At that time, the Huns' army had already penetrated into the Han army's encirclement, but it was a little far from the scheduled battlefield. If the Han army decisively started the war, dragged the Huns and waited for the subsequent Han army to arrive, things would be very possible.

The 30,000 Han troops led by Wang Hui were blocking the retreat of the Huns. Facing the 80,000 Huns, he was frightened and did not dare to attack decisively. He watched Yi Zhi retreat from under his nose.

If he was a little more courageous and launched a decisive attack, dragging the Huns, and sent people to ask for help from generals such as Li Guang and Han Anguo who participated in the ambush, history would definitely be rewritten. Yi Zhixie would not necessarily be captured or killed alive, at least the Huns would suffer a heavy loss.

The 300,000 Han army was four times the strength of the Huns, and even if they were to use people to pile up, many Huns would die.

Wang Hui made a big mistake and even said that in order to protect the 30,000 Han troops, Emperor Wu of Han became popular and chopped off his head.

The Mayi Incident ended in failure, but did not hurt Nie Yi's greatness. His plan was correct. There was a problem with the cooperation of the Han army, and Wang Hui was timid and missed the opportunity, so he finally got nothing.

When I arrived at the front hall, I saw Nie Boshan and a young man in his twenties kneeling on a short table and having tea.

Zhou Yang glanced slightly at Nie Boshan and his eyes stopped on Nie Yi.

As Liu Tie said, at first glance, Nie Yi is honest and honest, and no one will suspect that he will make a fraud. His eyes are very bright, and you can tell at a glance that he is a smart person. If he sells the person, he has to count the money for him.

"No wonder he was able to gain the trust of the Xiongnu Shanyu and planned the Mayi Incident. His appearance alone could gain favorable people." Zhou Yang was surprised and thought: "I don't know if history is back, will he become a spy again?"

"I have met the general!" Nie Boshan and his son stood up and greeted Zhou Yang.

Zhou Yang returned the gift and asked the father and son to sit down and asked, "I wonder how I want to help you?"

Nie Boshanda was excited: "Master, the dog son Nie Yi was determined to join the army, so he asked the Master to fulfill his wish."

"Nie Yi, do you want to join the army?" Zhou Yang did not answer, but looked at Nie Yi and asked.

"Master General, Nie Yi is unwilling to join the army and is willing to go to the Huns to do business." Nie Yi's answer was unexpected.

"Don't talk nonsense!" Nie Boshan rolled his eyes and stared at Nie Yi.

"Come here, please ask Nie Bofu to go down and rest." Zhou Yang roared at the door, and the servant came and led Nie Boshan away. Nie Boshan was extremely reluctant to leave, but he could not resist Zhou Yang's power as a general, so he had to go. Before leaving, he did not forget to glar at Nie Yi.

Zhou Yang closed the door, returned to his seat and knelt down, looking at Nie Yi. He was still so calm and had good psychological qualities.

"Bang!" Zhou Yang's right hand slapped the short table with his eyes wide open, his face full of anger, his murderous aura, and his aura was relaxed, like an ancient ferocious beast.

"Master, are you?" Nie Yi would never have thought that Zhou Yang would suddenly get angry.

"Nie Yi, you are so brave!" Zhou Yang shouted: "You dare to affair with the Huns, so you can't spare you!" The eyes were full of brilliance, which was very terrifying.

"Master, there is nothing, there is nothing!" The teacup in Nie Yi's hand hit the ground, smashed to pieces, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead. His status and status were too far apart from Zhou Yang. If Zhou Yang wanted to kill him, it would be a word of skill.

Nie Yi hurriedly took a breath, calmed down, and said, "Master, where do you start with this?"

"You dare not admit it?" Zhou Yang snorted coldly, as if thunder sounded in his ears, and Nie Yi shivered.

"Master, how dare Nie Yi do such a betrayal of his ancestors?" Nie Yi was still so calm.

"No?" Zhou Yang said coldly: "Now, the Han Dynasty is fighting with the Huns. If you go to the Huns to do business, isn't this a foreign country, what else can it be?"

"The Grand Marshal made a mistake!" Nie Yi not only did not panic, but instead smiled: "The Grand Marshal didn't know anything, so he was not very interested in joining the army. My father wanted to force him to come, but he had to come. What he liked the most was to spy on the Huns. To spy on the Huns, he had to start with business to gain the trust of the Huns."

"The Huns hated the great Han Dynasty so much. If you go to the Huns, aren't you afraid that the Huns will cook you?" Zhou Yang's face was still cold.

"The general didn't know that the Huns killed people and set fire and plundered countless people, but they would not attack the merchants." Nie Yi smiled and said: "The silk, powder, tea, and porcelain of the Han Dynasty were the most wanted by the Huns. In the past, the Huns relied on plunder and after the defeat last year, they could only trade with the merchants of the Han Dynasty. If they were not good for the merchants, they would get nothing."

Since the defeat last year, the Huns have been even more respectful to the merchants of the Han Dynasty. Zhou Yang knew about this.

"I will select some good players from the army for your deployment in case of accidents." Zhou Yang changed his face, cold and smiling.

"Master, are you?" Nie Yi never expected that Zhou Yang would make a 180-degree turn, look at Zhou Yang, and suddenly realized: "Master, you are scaring me to death."

He couldn't help but touch his forehead, but he got crystal clear sweat, which scared Zhou Yang very much.

"You went to the Huns to spy on the situation, it was very dangerous. How could I not give you a try?" Zhou Yang smiled and said his intention.

"Huh!" Nie Yi couldn't help but breathe: "Master, you are so scary."

Zhou Yang's murderous aura was fed with countless heads. Facing the angry Zhou Yang, the pressure was too great.

Next, Zhou Yang talked with Nie Yi for a while and found that Nie Yi was a natural spy and was particularly good at doing this. Zhou Yang was very happy. With Nie Yi coming to spy on the Huns, the chances of winning were higher in the battle between Han and Xiongnu.

After chatting, Nie Yihuan left happily. Zhou Yang cleaned up a little and then went into the palace. He returned to the mansion yesterday. He originally thought that Princess Nangong would come, but unexpectedly, he did not see Yiren. After asking, he realized that Empress Dowager Dou was in a serious condition and Princess Nangong had not come to the Marquis of Polu's Mansion for a long time.

Needless to think about it, Princess Nangong must be taking care of Queen Mother Dou. Zhou Yang has a good impression of Queen Mother Dou, and is not good at Zhou Yang, and is very caring about Zhou Yang.

This time when I entered the palace, I could not only go to see Yiren, but also go to see Empress Dowager Dou and ask about my well-being.

However, before Zhou Yang walked out of the mansion, people came from the palace, saying that Emperor Jing wanted to see him. Zhou Yang had to temporarily suppress his thoughts of meeting Yiren and rushed to Weiyang Palace.

When I arrived at the Yangxin Palace, I saw Emperor Jing kneeling on a short table, holding his hands on the short table, squinting his eyes, dozing off.

Emperor Jing was not only sleepy, but also looked sleepy. Zhou Yang was very surprised. He had never seen him dozing off since he met Emperor Jing.

"I will meet the emperor!" Zhou Yang stepped forward to greet him.

"Zhou Yang!" Emperor Jing woke up in shock, tried hard to cheer up, pointed to the shorter couple in front of him, and said, "Come on, sit down."

"Thank you, Your Majesty!" Zhou Yang thanked and sat down: "I wonder what the emperor is doing to summon me?"

"There is nothing else, I just want to hear your opinion." Emperor Jing smiled and said, "You have taken over the land of Baiyue, and I am so interested in it! Not only do you have to collect the land, but you also have to know how to manage it. The land of Baiyue was surrendered to the State of Chu hundreds of years ago. However, the state of Chu did not manage it, which is the current situation. If the Han Dynasty only accepted the land of Baiyue and did not manage it, then the Han Dynasty was Chu. You have been to the land of Baiyue and are familiar with it. Tell me how to manage it."

"The Emperor is wise!" Zhou Yang did not say anything about Emperor Jing's treatment. He admired him very much and sincerely praised him: "The Emperor, there are three difficulties in governing the land of Lingnan."

The three difficulties are the roads, the small population, and the backward technology. These three points have been discussed with Zhu Maichen in Panyu long ago.

"It's hard!" Emperor Jing stroked his forehead: "Moving into the people from the Central Plains is the most convenient way. However, a war is about to start in the north, and immigrating to the border requires many people, so where can anyone move south?"

"Emperor, the great man can actually find a way to increase the number of people." Zhou Yang had already thought about it and was about to find an opportunity to tell Emperor Jing to know it, and he came one by one.

The first thing to talk about digging mountains and building roads is the top priority. In the Baiyue area, there are many mountains and jungles. If it is easy to build roads, Qin Shihuang would not need to build spiritual canals, but to build roads directly.

"It's hard!" Zhou Yang's words started, and Emperor Jing kept shaking his head.

"Your Majesty, I have a way to reduce the difficulty." Zhou Yang ignored Emperor Jing's feelings and continued: "I know that something is called gunpowder that can open mountains and build roads. However, if this thing is made, the craftsmen need help from it."

"Oh?" Emperor Jing was very interested, leaned forward, and looked at Zhou Yang with interest: "Is there such a wonderful thing?"

"If this thing is made, the road of the Han Dynasty will be well-connected and built as much as you need to be built." The road of the Han Dynasty is a big problem. It is not that the Han Dynasty does not want to build it, but that technology cannot keep up with it, which greatly restricts the development of the Han Dynasty. If there is a road of well-connected, the Han Dynasty will be more developed.

"Great! Zhou Yang, as soon as the matter is over, you go and tell the craftsmen and ask them to do it well." Emperor Jing knew Zhou Yang very well. He would not say that if he was not sure about it, and he couldn't help but be excited: "Is there any way for you to talk about this?"

"Your Majesty, I have an idea for this matter." Zhou Yangda was excited: "The reason why the Han Dynasty had fewer people was because the disease was prevalent and the young infants died. If these two things were done well, the people would naturally become more common. After all, the Han Dynasty had too few good doctors, so we had to step up the training."

Emperor Jing knew the reason why the Han Dynasty was not very crowded, so he nodded and said, "This is extremely true, this is extremely true! You have to hurry up and do it. Pass on the Duke of Cang."

Mr. Cang is a famous miracle doctor, so he naturally needs to participate in this matter.

Not long after, Mr. Cang came. Emperor Jing said Zhou Yang’s thoughts, Mr. Cang kept nodding and agreed.

"Hey!" Kuang Gong sighed and said, "Heart and fever are not difficult to treat. What is difficult to treat are those epidemics. Once the epidemic prevails, countless people will die."

"Mr. Cang, don't worry. I once met an alien. He taught me some methods, which may work." Zhou Yang lied first to prevent Emperor Jing and others from accusing him of it, and then said: "There is a method called vaccination, which can reduce the impact of the epidemic."

"Vaccination?" Jingdi and Cang Gong blinked in surprise.

Vaccination is China's "fifth largest invention". Since its inception during the Northern Song Dynasty, it has saved countless lives. It can be said that the lives saved by this invention can be used as a unit of "billions".

The technology of vaccination first appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty, then spread to Europe and America, and the whole world benefited from this invention.

After vaccination, the human body has the ability to be immune to smallpox. Smallpox is an ancient disease that has been passed down, with countless deaths and a population killer. If this disease can be prevented, it will have an immeasurable effect on the increase in the population of the Han Dynasty.

Zhou Yang briefly sorted out his ideas and explained them to Mr. Cang. The acne vaccination technology has a huge effect and has saved hundreds of millions of lives. It is called the "fifth largest invention" in China except for the four major inventions. However, its technology is not difficult. One by one, Mr. Cang and Emperor Jing stared at the top of their eyes.

Zhou Yang is not talking about human acne technology, but vowel technology. Human acne technology is not as safe as vowel, which is his flaw. What appeared in the Northern Song Dynasty was human acne technology, which has been used for thousands of years.

European emperors specially sent people to China to study, and then they were introduced to Europe. Finally, the British developed cowpox technology based on human acne, and human acne technology left the stage of history.

"Use cow scabs? Can this work?" Emperor Jing was a little disbelief.

Mr. Cang also shook his head: "Don't it work?"

"Mr. Cang, you are a famous miracle doctor in the world. Do you know that those farmers who are with cattle all day long will no longer be afraid of epidemics once they are infected with cow scabs?" Zhou Yang smiled slightly.

"Bang!" Kuraku only felt a flash of inspiration, and a brand new world appeared in front of him. He slapped his forehead heavily, and stood up excitedly and said, "Yes! Yes! I have discovered such a thing before, but I didn't think deeply about it. Fortunately, the general reminded him that this matter was done!"

The reason why the vowel technology was invented was that some people discovered that once the milking person was infected, they would no longer be afraid of smallpox.

In the Han Dynasty, there were cattle. Farmers had more time to deal with cattle. After being infected, they were not afraid of smallpox. They were everywhere. Zhou Yang was not afraid of being in trouble at all.

"Mr. Cang, you can do this!" Emperor Jing saw Mr. Cang's excited look in his eyes, and was very relieved.

As long as the population increases, the Han Dynasty will become stronger.

Zhou Yang talked about some knowledge about epidemics, and Mr. Cang's eyes lit up when he heard it. If Zhou Yang hadn't said it long ago, he was a foreigner, Mr. Cang would definitely call Zhou Yang a good doctor.

This explanation took a long time to explain, and Kurakuro left satisfied.

"Zhou Yang, Zhou Yang, how do you have a brain? You even know medical skills." Emperor Jing looked at Zhou Yang with a smile. Every time he saw Zhou Yang, he would always surprise him.

"Your Majesty, I don't know how to understand the medical skills, I just remember it." Zhou Yang was busy lying: "Your Majesty knows it, I have the ability to remember everything I see."

"Yeah!" After saying this, it was reasonable. Emperor Jing nodded slightly and said, "I just don't know the name of the strange man's surname Gao?"

"The emperor doesn't know anything, he doesn't want to say it, and I don't know it." Zhou Yang didn't blush when he lied.

"Zhou Yang, why don't you mention military use?" Emperor Jing looked at Zhou Yang and suddenly asked.

Now, Baiyue has been recovered, the threat from the Han Dynasty to the south has been lifted, and it is possible to use troops against the Huns. Although the 30,000 new troops are too few, you can fight and train.

Before Zhou Yang could speak, Emperor Jing continued, "Don't mention the matter of using troops. Let's go to Changxin Palace and you will understand."
