Chapter 267 Doting on a Concubine and Destroying a Wife in a Wife 15

Longkodo really collapsed this time, and he didn't care about the so-called face anymore. He seriously invited the imperial doctor from the imperial hospital to diagnose and treat him.

This time, the judge from the left hospital of Taiyuan Hospital came and diagnosed Longkodo as having insufficient kidney water, unable to dissolve body fluids, and being unable to sleep at night. He prescribed a few pairs of symptomatic medicine and then left.

But Longkodo was still irritated, because the diagnoses given by the imperial doctor had only come to him in recent days, and the causes were all attributed to his unspeakable symptoms, but the imperial doctor did not diagnose them.

However, he couldn't ask for more. Even with the status of the Tong family, it was already a big deal to be able to invite a court judge. The highest official position in the Taiyuan Hospital was the court judge, who was specially responsible for diagnosing the pulse of the Holy Emperor and the Queen Mother. Although he was The legitimate son of the Tong family does not have such a face.

Longkodo could only frown and drink those medicines that he didn't know were useful every day, and his face looked gloomy after drinking.

Fortunately, sexual intercourse is prohibited while taking the medicine, which at least prevents him from facing his woman anymore. He doesn't want to see that look anymore, so he will wait until he has finished drinking these medicines.

Since Longkodo invited the imperial doctor, Lin Hui could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb. She pretended to show concern and condolences. Naturally, Longkodo would not tell her the truth and only said that she was "little "I'm sick", it's not important, let her not make a fuss, especially don't let the master and his wife know.

Lin Hui was naturally happy to keep it a secret for him. Even when the Great Hershey asked about it, she helped Longkodo cover it up.

At this time, Lin Hui ordered her subordinates to make milk powder that was initially successful. The liquid milk was dried into powder. Although the texture was not fine and uniform, it had very little water and could be stored for a long time.

Lin Hui also asked people to grind the black tea leaves into powder and pack them into very fine gauze bags. One bag of black tea powder, two spoons of milk powder, two spoons of frosting sugar were placed in a bowl, and boiling water was added to brew. A cup of milk tea that tastes good.

Milk tea was originally only a drink for the Mongolians, because they only ate meat and dairy products and needed tea to help digestion and replenish the trace elements needed by the body.

Because the Manchu-Mongolian marriage is a national policy, the royal family has been married to Mongolia for several generations, and their descendants all have Mongolian blood. There are also many nobles in the court who are married to Mongolian princes, so milk tea is not uncommon among the upper-class nobles, but those are It needs to be cooked with fresh milk, which is fine in the house, but not very convenient when going out.

Lin Hui tinkered with milk powder and added black tea powder, making it no longer difficult to drink milk tea when going out.

Later, she made another improvement, mixing black tea powder, milk powder and frosting sugar evenly in proportion, and putting them in a sealed jar. This became the common milk tea powder in later generations, which was now more convenient.

The emperor has been very fond of going out in recent years. In addition to going to Mulan Autumn Weekly every year, he also patrols the outside of the Great Wall every other year. Every few years he also goes to Jiangnan for inspections. In short, he spends less than half of the year outside.

The emperor also had to do business when he went out, so he naturally had to have an entourage with him. Many noble ministers in the court had to accompany him, as well as the female family members of the harem. Since the emperor was extremely filial to his mother, as long as conditions allowed, he would always take the queen mother with him when he went out. In addition to the entourage each brought, there are so many people here, and there must be many of them who love to drink milk tea.

However, Lin Hui does not plan to use this to run her business for the time being, because tea, milk, and frosting are not cheap things. The total cost of a jar of milk tea powder is not low. This is not a filling drink, and ordinary people will not Those who buy it to drink, and those who can afford it, are the upper-class nobles. In such a family, it is easy to buy such imported things from outside, for fear of being unclean, most of them are made by their own servants.

There are also restrictions on raw materials.

Although the Tong family raised a lot of cows in their village on the outskirts of Beijing, there were only a few cows producing dozens of kilograms of milk every day. The milk powder they produced could only be consumed by their own family or given away to others, but it was definitely not suitable for opening a store.

Moreover, Lin Hui’s original intention of making this milk tea was not to make profit, but to please the two giants in the palace, the emperor and the queen mother, as well as Si Age, the future winner in life. As long as these things can play a corresponding role when necessary , much more cost-effective than selling money directly.

In addition, while Lin Hui was making milk powder, she also thought of something very important, which was much more important than milk tea.

That's cowpox!

This "pox" refers to pox diseases such as smallpox.

Smallpox is still a very terrible disease. People nowadays are simply disfigured by the smell of smallpox. The most direct manifestation of smallpox infection is pox, especially in children. Many people die from pox.

The reason why Emperor Kangxi was chosen among several brothers to ascend the throne had a lot to do with the fact that he had acne and was not prone to death.

Although there are certain means to prevent this disease, that is, children from upper-class society will be "vaccinated" when they reach a certain age, that is, artificially inoculated with the smallpox virus.

Taiyuan Hospital has a special acne department, which is responsible for vaccination and acne treatment.

Today's vaccinations use variola, which is to use the pox pulp or pox pods of pox patients as a vaccine and implant it into the nose of the vaccinated person, so that the vaccinated person will have a mild case of smallpox and gain immunity.

Although this vaccine is a mature vaccine that has been screened, that is, a vaccine that has been infected many times and has become very weak in toxicity, there are still some children who cannot survive it and die because of it.

In a few years, the original body's son Yue Xing'a will be vaccinated when he reaches old age. Although Lin Hui knows that he has survived this test, she still wants to find a safer way to avoid some accidents.

The toxicity of cowpox is much less than that of human pox, and it is also much safer. This has been verified by later generations.

Lin Hui planned to arrange for people in Zhuangzi to raise more cows, observe them, and then find someone to conduct experiments. When the time is right, she would hand over the cowpox method to the fourth prince.

If cowpox can be popularized, it can effectively reduce the threat posed by smallpox and help population reproduction. This is a good thing that benefits all people, and no one in power will not pay attention to it.

The reason why it was given to the fourth prince instead of the current emperor was also for the sake of Yue Xing'a.

Now Yue Xing'a has just turned one year old. It will probably be in the last years of Kangxi's reign when he can work on errands. If he wants to stand out in the court, he doesn't know when.

Even if Kangxi comes to ask for a favor now, the effect of the credit will not be effective for a few years. It is better to speculate early and sell the favor to the next emperor, at least it can continue to play a role in the Yongzheng Dynasty.

As for what happens next, it’s hard to say. If Honghui can live to adulthood, if there are no surprises, then the next succession to the throne will not involve Xiaosi. Perhaps this will have a positive impact on the future of history. A good thing.

However, these things are still too far away from the present, so let’s live in the present first.

Now that it is the twelfth lunar month, Lin Hui must not only prepare for the New Year, but also pay attention to the movements of Long Keduo and Li Si'er to prevent any accidents from happening and ruin her next plan.

By the way, Longkodo really lived up to Lin Hui's expectations. He lost a lot of weight in a short period of time. His whole face was sunken and his face was faintly blue. For those who didn't know, he thought he was being imprisoned. I've been hungry for a long time!
