Chapter 811 [Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace 1]
"Miss, is your cold getting better? How about I ask the court doctor to come and see you?" A clever little maid dressed in light blue clothes looked at Youyou lying on the bed with concern on her face and asked softly.
Youyou raised her head slightly, her face slightly pale, and replied weakly: "No need to bother, I feel fine now, you can leave first."
"Yes, miss." The little maid responded respectfully and slowly left the room, but did not leave. Instead, she stood quietly at the door, just in case Youyou had any instructions.
After the maid left, Youyou closed her eyes tightly and silently said in her heart: "Is 103 here? What on earth is this place? Why don't I have any memory of the original owner?"
After a moment, 103's voice came from my mind: "Host, since we encountered the turbulence of time and space, the host and I were directly drawn into this small world."
Upon hearing this, Youyou frowned slightly and continued to ask, "Then who am I now?"
"Host, you are the daughter of a wealthy merchant in the Jiangnan region, your name is Chen Wanyin." 103 explained patiently.
Hearing this name, Youyou couldn't help but mutter to herself: "Chen Wanyin... Why does this name sound so familiar? It seems like a character in a TV series you watched before."
"Yes, host, your guess is correct. In fact, you are Concubine Wan, who later became one of the concubines of Emperor Qianlong." 103 answered in a positive tone.
"Ah? Does that mean I have become her now? But it seems that Qianlong is a playboy, known as the 'Trash Dragon'. Do I have to find a way to conquer him?" Youyou complained with a bitter face.
"Host, the woman in this mission has never been favored by Emperor Qianlong in her life, and she has no children. It can be said that she is the one who loves Emperor Qianlong the most. She is introverted and taciturn, always afraid of causing trouble and right and wrong, but in fact, deep in her heart, she desperately wants to attract the emperor's attention, but unfortunately she does not know how to win favor." 103 Introducing the situation in detail.
"So, does this mean that I need to help her win the emperor's favor?" Youyou asked doubtfully.
"Yes, host, the mission you are undertaking this time is indeed quite arduous and long." 103 replied solemnly.
"However, if you want to gain the emperor's favor, you must have a certain family background, otherwise you are nothing." Youyou frowned and analyzed worriedly.
"Host, don't worry. I can make some changes for you. It is now the 103th year of the Kangxi reign, and you were born on December th of the th year of the Kangxi reign. You are only five years old this year. At this time, many things can be manipulated and changed." comforted Youyou with confidence.
"But even so, my father is just an ordinary wealthy businessman. He doesn't even hold an official position." Youyou sighed helplessly.
"Host, you don't have to worry about this matter! Look at what we have in our hands: the miraculous cowpox, which can effectively prevent the terrible disease of smallpox; and the flat and solid cement roads, which can make transportation more convenient; plus the fragrant, clean and easy-to-use soaps, as well as crystal clear glass products and so on. Host, think about it, as long as you present these treasures, you will definitely be able to exchange them for an official position!" 103 said confidently.
However, Youyou frowned and said with difficulty: "But, you know, I'm just a half-grown child. How can I mention this to my father? I always feel that it is a little difficult to say."
Hearing this, 103 couldn't help but pat his head and said regretfully: "Oh, I didn't think it through. In this case, let me find a way to help you, the host! How about this, I can use my magical powers to pass on the knowledge about cowpox to your father, Lord Chen Yanzhang, through dreams. In this way, he will definitely be shocked and delighted by this magical thing, and maybe your family's status will be improved because of it."
After hearing this, Youyou's eyes lit up and she nodded quickly, saying, "Well, that's a good idea! Then I'll leave it to you, 103. I'm still young and really can't do anything about many things. Everything depends on you."
"Don't worry, host! Leave it to me. Just wait for my good news." 103 answered confidently.
"Yes, 103, whether we can successfully raise the flag this time depends entirely on you! You must do your best!" Youyou encouraged 103 with full expectation.
"Okay, host, I will take action immediately!" Before he finished speaking, 103 turned into a ray of light and disappeared on the spot.
The next morning, sunlight shone through the window onto Chen Yanzhang's bed. He slowly woke up and rubbed his sleepy eyes, but the wonderful scene and related information about cowpox in his dream last night clearly emerged in his mind.
Chen Yanzhang did not dare to delay, and hurriedly got up and washed up, then immediately sent someone to find some volunteers to participate in the experiment. In the following days, he devoted himself to the research and experiment on cowpox. Every day, he carefully observed the physical reactions of the vaccine recipients, recorded every subtle change in detail, and constantly adjusted and improved the experimental plan.
Time passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye, one or two months had passed. After this long wait, the ecstatic moment finally arrived - the experiment was a complete success! Those who had been vaccinated with cowpox were all cured of the smallpox virus, and everyone was healthy and safe.
Chen Yanzhang was overjoyed, and with this hard-earned achievement in his heart, he rushed to the local prefectural government office without stopping. When he told the prefect about this matter, the always steady and serious official could not help but show his joy. The prefect knew that this matter was of great significance and related to the well-being of the people, so he immediately decided to report it to his superiors as soon as possible.
The news soon reached Emperor Kangxi, who was extremely excited. You know, smallpox has been a scourge that has plagued the world since ancient times, and countless lives have been lost because of it. Now that it is expected to be completely cured, how can people not be excited?
Emperor Kangxi was very pleased and rewarded the prefect who reported the incident. He not only promoted him repeatedly, but also transferred him to the capital and entrusted him with important tasks. Chen Yanzhang, an unknown commoner, was awarded the status of the Han Army Banner and the Yellow Banner because of his discovery and successful promotion of the method of preventing smallpox by using cowpox. He also took over the official position of the original Prefectural Palace, and embarked on the road of official career, opening a new chapter in his life.
In the 103nd year of Emperor Kangxi's reign, on a dark and windy night, appeared in Chen Yanzhang's dream again and taught him the mysterious and precious method of making cement. Chen Yanzhang was overjoyed to learn this wonderful method, but he did not act rashly. Instead, he carefully found several experienced people to conduct experiments together. After careful operation and patient waiting, when the cement was finally completely dry, everyone was surprised to find that it had become extremely hard!
Chen Yanzhang was keenly aware of the great value of this magical material - wouldn't such a solid material be suitable for building roads? Thinking of this, he immediately took action and organized manpower and material resources to repair some roads in the Jiangnan area. The workers worked hard day and night to gradually transform the originally bumpy and muddy dirt roads into flat, wide, solid and durable cement roads.
After all the roads were completed, Chen Yanzhang presented a detailed memorial to the court with excitement and trepidation, truthfully reporting on his use of cement to build roads and the remarkable results achieved. Emperor Kangxi was very pleased after receiving this memorial, and immediately decided to send Prince Yong to Jiangnan to inspect the situation in person.
Prince Yong did not dare to delay after receiving the order and rode to Jiangnan at full speed. He carefully observed along the way and witnessed the brand new and smooth cement roads with his own eyes. He could not help but admire Chen Yanzhang's talents and achievements. After returning to the capital, Prince Yong could not wait to report what he saw and heard in Jiangnan to Emperor Kangxi. Kangxi was very appreciative after hearing it, and believed that Chen Yanzhang's move not only improved the local traffic conditions, but also made important contributions to the development of the country.
Therefore, Emperor Kangxi made a prompt decision and promoted Chen Yanzhang's family from the Han army to the Manchu army flag as a sign of favor and reward. From then on, the Chen family's glory doubled and became a member of the Manchu and Mongolian nobles. The magical cement was also widely used in engineering construction all over the country due to its excellent performance, greatly promoting the prosperity and development of social economy.
