Chapter 455 Medical Research Plan
The moon sets and the sun rises. After a night of wind and clouds, the clouds disperse and the wind clears. The morning sun shines on the lake capital, and the pious morning prayers are sung in the wind. The people of the capital have experienced yesterday's wedding and witnessed many miracles. This morning's prayers are more pious, and the rolling sound waves shake the sky, as if surrounded by thunder.
Xiuluot woke up in the sound of prayer, only to feel sore all over, and his shoulders were even more burning. He felt the warmth beside him, turned his head, and saw his sleeping wife at a glance. Alyssa curled up like a cat, with tears on her face, and her hands tightly hugged his arms.
The young man gently bowed his head and kissed the "cat" gently on the lips. The cat shook her nose, wrinkled her pretty face, and murmured unconsciously. The young man listened for a while, and only heard some vague words.
"Well, don't be a bad brother."
Xiuluot smiled and touched Alyssa's cheek. Then, he carefully pulled out his arm and got up from the bed.
Naxiu was guarding the outer room and had already prepared breakfast. The cold female warrior looked calm and respectfully saluted His Highness, but her eyes were inexplicably evasive.
After a simple breakfast and stretching his muscles, Xiuluot took some snacks back to the inner room and waited for Alyssa to wake up.
It was not until the sun rose into the sky that the two of them blushed and walked out of the wedding room together. Xiuluot took his wife's arm and went to his grandfather's house to pay homage.
The high priest sat cross-legged in the house, with a smile in his eyes and a gentle expression, but he seemed to be a little older. He first took out the obsidian necklace inherited from the family as a gift for Alyssa. Then, he pondered for a while and solemnly exhorted.
"Xuluot, Alyssa, since you are husband and wife, you should support each other and advance and retreat together, like beans entwined with corn, inseparable. Your marriage is the connection between the two royal families, which is not only related to the happiness of the two people, but also to the stability of the entire alliance!"
"Xuluot, my child, you must always be respectful to the king. If you encounter difficulties, you must discuss it with your wife and don't hide anything. Alyssa, please always stand by Xuluot's side, support his career, and maintain the trust between him and the king. As long as the two royal families are close, the powerful Mexica Alliance will have no loopholes. The sun of the alliance gradually alternates, and the future of the whole world will eventually be in your hands! "
After listening to the grandfather's instructions, Xuluot and Alyssa looked at each other and held hands tacitly. Then, the two bowed their heads at the same time and saluted the elders in front of them.
"Dear grandfather, thank you for your instructions and obey your will!"
Seeing the tacit understanding between the two, the high priest smiled slightly and nodded. He smiled and said a few words, then gave the order in a deep voice.
"Lord God bless me! I have nothing to do here. You go to see the king!"
"Lord God bless me! May you be as evergreen as pine and cypress!"
Xuluot took Alyssa by the hand, bowed respectfully, and left the house. Then, the two hurried to the king's palace under the escort of the royal guards.
The king's palace was bright and clean, and there was no one around. Avit, wearing gorgeous royal clothes and a feather crown of a quetzal bird on his head, was waiting alone on the throne.
Seeing the two people entering the palace side by side to salute, Avit's face showed a smile. He smiled and looked at his daughter for a while, then inexplicably lowered his eyes, with a gloomy emotion surging in his heart, but he didn't know what to say. After a moment, he raised his head again with a gentle smile.
"Come, sit closer."
Avit waved his hand and asked the two to sit closer.
Alyssa blinked, came to her father's side, hugged his arm, and shook it hard.
"Father, did you drink too much last night? I'll give you some sobering potion. I miss you so much. I was very busy and tired at the wedding yesterday, and I didn't get to talk to you."
"It's okay. I drank your wedding wine yesterday, and I was only happy."
Facing his spoiled daughter, Avite's eyes were gentle, without any of the king's sharpness. He chatted with a smile for a few words, and only when he looked at Xiu Luote did his expression become serious.
"Xiuluote, my child."
Avite's eyes were a little complicated. He looked at his student, now son-in-law, and thought for a while before speaking in a deep voice.
"After the wedding, Alyssa will go to the kingdom with you and live in Qincongcan City. She has hundreds of maids and servants, and five hundred family warriors. You have to arrange them properly!"
"Hmm?"
Hearing this, Alyssa blinked. Her daily life is actually quite simple, and she never thought that she would need so many attendants.
"Yes. Please rest assured!"
Xiuluote held his wife's hand and nodded. He understood what Avite meant, that was the distribution of power in the kingdom.
"I will arrange these warriors, maids, and servants. In the kingdom, Alyssa can manage a lot of things, and she also needs people to help."
Hearing this, Avite nodded slightly. He looked at his daughter lovingly, and then asked again.
"Alyssa, what do you want to do in the future?"
"Father. I want to accompany Xiuluot, take care of him, and help him manage the family."
Alyssa leaned on her lover's shoulder, blinking gently, as if glowing.
"What else?"
"Well, I like plants and flowers. I want to continue studying pharmacy. In this way, if someone close to me is sick, I can help"
"Yeah. Good daughter"
Avite reached out and rubbed his daughter's hair. Then, he looked at his son-in-law calmly.
"Xiuluot, after returning to the kingdom, what do you plan to let Alyssa manage?"
Xuluot thought for a moment, looked at his wife's pure eyes like a fawn, and answered with a smile.
"Alyssa brought many servants, who can help me manage the kingdom's gem trade. She can also help me deal with the affairs in the Palace of Wind. In the long run, I plan to build a new medical institute in the kingdom, which will be fully managed by Alyssa to study trauma, disease, medicine and treatment. Among the kingdom's priests, a branch of medical priests will be added to absorb herbal priests and doctors. In Shenwei University, new medical courses will also be added to deal with various diseases or lesions of people."
"Medical institute? Medical priests? The knowledge of medical sacrifices and medicines?"
Hearing this, Avit raised his eyebrows slightly. The Mexica Alliance advocates sacrifices, and senior priests often practice it and have a deep understanding of human anatomy. In the inheritance of priests, there are special board paintings that record the different positions of human organs, the blood supply function of the heart, and how to cut blood vessels to avoid blood splashing. The research of pharmacy, relying on various magical plants and animals in tropical America, can achieve various effects such as anesthesia, hallucination, sedation, and anti-inflammatory.
In the language of the alliance, medicine is sacrifice and medicine, plus the treatment of trauma. This knowledge is not circulated among the people, and is usually monopolized by senior priests as a symbol of mastering divine power.
"Yes. I have some divine revelations in medicine, which are more complicated and difficult. I want Alyssa to help me sort them out comprehensively."
Xiuluot thought for a while and added.
"In the near future, the medical institute will be one of the most important institutions in the kingdom. A large number of medical priests will go to the army to treat injuries and reduce casualties in the army. Medical places will also be opened in the city for nobles and civilians to see doctors. Whether it is a medical institute or a medical priest, I will give it to Alyssa to manage."
At this point, Xiuluot was determined and calm. He said that he attached importance to medicine and wanted to make the Institute of Medicine the most important institution. He was not joking.
The footsteps of European colonists were getting closer and closer, and the threat of diseases in the Old World was imminent. The European continent was thousands of miles away, and in this era, the projection capability was extremely limited. With the current military strength of the alliance, it was not afraid of hundreds of thousands of European troops. What was really scary was the infectious diseases from the Old World, all kinds of terrible plagues.
Smallpox, measles, plague, typhoid, cholera, diphtheria, and mumps, each of which could take away tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of lives! And in the tropical rainforest, there would also be acute malaria and yellow fever from Africa, which would change the ecology of the rainforest forever.
All of this required organized research by the American Empire to find countermeasures. Xiu Luote had long planned to build a huge medical institute to conduct cross-era medical research. He would concentrate the resources of the kingdom, spare no manpower and material resources, and pave the way for the development of medicine.
To this end, the Institute of Medicine would also combine with theocracy to reduce all obstacles as much as possible. When the plague strikes, if medicine really works, the entire medical institution will be covered with a sacred aura, and the supervisor will definitely be deified.
"I can only feel at ease if I hand over the medical institute to Alyssa."
Xuluot thought in his heart, his eyes moved slightly. After a few breaths, he smiled calmly and held his wife's hand tightly.
Avite's expression changed, and he nodded slowly. Rescue warriors and treat nobles, medicine can win people's hearts, and there will not be too many dangers. He looked at his daughter again.
"Alyssa, my daughter, are you willing?"
Alyssa's eyebrows were curved and smiling. She took her husband's arm and nodded vigorously.
"Well, father, I am willing. What Xiuluot said is all for my good. I like these too."
".Ah."
Looking at his daughter's naivety, Avite lowered his eyes. He wanted to tell her something else, but he was less interested in talking.
"Well, that's it! The ancestors will bless you!"
"The ancestors bless you!"
Xuluot took Alyssa by the hand and bowed to his father-in-law. When he turned and left, there was a familiar call.
"Xuluot!"
"Teacher?"
Xuluot turned his head and looked at the hall behind him.
At some point, Avite stood up and left the cold throne. He took a few steps forward and came to Xiuluot. He looked at the student who was taller than him, was silent for a while, and finally said only one sentence.
"My daughter is in your hands. Be good to her."
In the new year, I wish you all the best! Good luck in the Year of the Cat, meow!
