An autumn rain blew, and the weather in Chang'an became cold and humid. Li Wei, who was staying in the academy, complained about the dampness in the dormitory, so he asked Li Ang for a talisman and stuck it on the quilt.
The sudden change in the weather also caused many cough patients to appear in Chang'an City. Li Ang was a little worried about this, so he went to the hospital to observe and found that the patients' symptoms were cold, nasal congestion, runny nose, and itchy throat, which was a cold.
.
The doctors in the ward are not surprised by this. It is just a cold. Compared with major horrors such as malaria, malaria, and tuberculosis, it is simply not worth mentioning. It is not clear why Li Ang takes it so seriously...
‘You’re not afraid of colds, you’re just afraid of influenza...’
Li Ang said silently in his heart.
In the memory of another world, the great influenza in the early 20th century directly infected one-third of the world's population and killed at least 20 million people.
The secondary disasters caused by the shortage of manpower are even more difficult to estimate.
Cities with high population density and high circulation will always have various strange symptoms. With a population of two to three million in Chang'an City, it is not very strange for Li Ang to have any symptoms.
He couldn't explain clearly to the doctors in the ward what the virus was, so he had to use his influence to make the ward clean and isolate, and prepare enough medicines.
After he returned home, he published an article in the Academy Journal to demonstrate the relationship between colds and other diseases and wearing masks, proving that wearing masks can significantly reduce the probability of catching colds.
We hope that this will enable more Chang'an citizens, especially those with cold symptoms, to wear masks.
‘Tsk, why can others just enjoy the pleasure of pretending to be slapped in the face when they travel through time, while I have to worry about all kinds of diseases.’
Li Ang sat on his seat, rubbing his temples to relieve pressure.
After nearly a year of research on the thesis, the public health in Chang'an City has improved a lot than before. At least every household has purchased soap, wash hands frequently, do not drink boiled water, and will actively kill mosquitoes and rats...
Since Li Ang previously published a paper on the anatomy of mice, giving detailed examples of diseases that mice may cause,
The people of Chang'an City hated rats even more deeply and worked more diligently to exterminate them.
It made Li Ang dream about a fat rat hanging on a street lamp, wailing and screaming, "Rat, rat, I really have to reopen."
Weird dreams.
"The sun rises!"
Yang Yu hurried over from the door of the classroom, sat down on the stool with a bang, lowered his voice and said excitedly: "Have you heard?"
Li Ang was speechless and said: "What did you hear?"
"The mission of Haotian Daomen."
Yang Yu slammed the table and said in a high-spirited tone: "For the first time in fifty years, Taihao Mountain has sent an official mission to Chang'an. It has now entered West Jing and will arrive in Chang'an in a while."
Li Ang curled his lips, "So?"
"This is a big deal."
Yang Yu said excitedly: "The mission is led by Cardinal Xinxiu, who is one of the four Cardinal Haotian. My grandfather heard about it and ate an extra bowl for dinner. Other people who heard the news had already started preparing flowers in advance.
And the red carpet."
"Is it that exaggerated?"
Li Ang couldn't help but be speechless.
Taihao Mountain and the Academy have never dealt with each other very well. The last time they sent someone here, they were celebrating the birthday of the Holy Queen - but not long after, the Holy Queen fell and the late Emperor took over.
At that time, the Haotian Dao Sect felt that the opportunity had come, and sent a mission to Chang'an, claiming to host the late emperor's enthronement ceremony, but the academy directly rejected it.
The enthronement of the kings of the Southern Zhou Dynasty, Xi Jing and other countries was presided over by the cardinal priests of the Haotian Daomen. On top of the imperial power, there was divine power. If the cardinal priests were not satisfied, they even had the right to change the emperor in theory.
Only the State of Yu, which has an academy, is not subject to this control.
As a result, the relationship between the two parties turned cold, and there was no contact between the two parties for fifty years.
However, the conflict between Taihao Mountain and the Academy did not affect the people of Yu State's devotion to Haotian. Every household still wore Haotian bells and Haotian bells, and often went to temples to burn incense, pray, and pray for blessings.
Li Ang himself was not very pious and had no interest in the so-called visitors from Mount Taihao. Yang Yu, who came from a pious family, was particularly looking forward to this and kept chattering beside him.
When a cardinal priest walks on earth, both sides of the road must be crowded with devout believers, who will lay out a red carpet and sprinkle flowers for him.
When a cardinal priest comes to Chang'an, he will definitely take the Suzaku Avenue. When the time comes, I don't know how many fanatical believers will go there a few days in advance to pitch tents, build bunks, and sleep there morning and night, just to be close to the mission when the mission passes by.
Cardinal's distance.
‘…Why does it sound like what’s coming is not a cardinal priest, but a new Apple phone?’
Li Ang silently complained in his heart, and it was hard to say that feudal superstition was not advisable - the Haotian Bell and the Haotian Bell can really have an effect on aliens and suppress evil spirits to a certain extent.
‘Forget it, as long as it doesn’t affect my study and practice.’
Li Ang shook his head, ignored Yang Yu's muttering to himself, and focused on the book.
Tap tap tap.
The sound of footsteps came from far away, and Miao Zhengqing, the academy supervisor, walked into the classroom. Along with him, there was Xi Yangyu.
The Academy Supervisor is an official position set up by the imperial court. He is responsible for conveying information to the Academy. He usually only appears on important occasions and will not interfere with normal classes.
"Cough."
Xi Yangyu coughed lightly, and the conversation in the classroom immediately fell silent.
Miao Zhengqing walked to the stage, cleared his throat, and said loudly: "I believe all students have heard the news to some extent. In three months, the Haotian Dao Sect's mission will come to Chang'an City.
They came here this time to re-establish contact with the Yu State.
The second is to conduct academic exchanges with the Academy."
"Huh?"
Li Ang raised his eyebrows, academic exchange?
Is there any place where Haotian Dao Sect and Academy can exchange academic information?
You must know that the contradiction between the two parties has been around for a long time. Taoism believes that everything is created by Haotian and has its own flawless and eternal laws.
The Academy developed Neo-Confucianism, observed celestial phenomena, and concluded that the orbits of stars would constantly change, and some stars would even appear and disappear out of thin air.
There are also some academic doctors who study philosophy, asking if Haotian loves the world, why would he create all kinds of ghastly alien monsters and set up an endless sea full of dangers to hinder the world's exploration.
Even Senior Su Zi, because Haotian Dao Sect criticized him many times, directly said that "there is no fear of changes in the sky, no law for ancestors, and no sympathy for people's words", which made the Taoism very angry.
One of the purposes of the academy is to explore the laws of nature, and they have nothing in common with the Taoist sect who wants to maintain the majesty of Haotian, let alone academic exchanges.
Sure enough, Miao Zhengqing immediately added: "The scope of communication is not limited to poetry, calligraphy and painting, music, braiding, etc.
There are also competitive exchanges in spiritual practice.
Students of all ages can participate.
In addition, students of the same age from Xi Jing, Southern Zhou, Turks and other countries will also come to Chang'an to attend the conference.
As for the specific matters, further notification will be given after the mission arrives."
