Great Tang princess

Chapter 279 Cowpox
Fangzheng is still very clear about the things in his workshop, and it didn't take too long to count the number of people. From the outbreak of smallpox to the present, there are still a few people who have left.

They are not playboys from high-ranking officials and noble families, but ordinary people.

Li Yuechen asked Geng Yunqiang to ask about the appearance characteristics of these people and then take someone to look for them. It's not too long now, and it should be too late to leave the city.

Not long after, Li Zhi had already sent Liu Shenwei to bring the doctors from Shangyao Bureau over, and when he saw Li Yuechen, he hurriedly saluted.

"Exemption!" Li Yuechen waved his hand, "Does Liu Fengyu have a solution?"

"Your Highness, this smallpox is a natural disaster, so far..."

"Okay, then follow Ben Gong's method." Seeing that he had no choice, Li Yuechen interrupted him directly.

After all, the method Li Yuechen knew was only learned from the documentary, but he had never operated it himself.

I originally thought that if the doctors of this era can solve it, I will follow their way, but now that I can't solve it, I can only follow my own way.

Liu Shenwei nodded: "Then I will thank Your Highness."

Because Li Yuechen has invented many amazing things, even if she has not studied medicine, people in this era have a kind of confidence in her.

Since she said there is a way, then there must be.

Under such circumstances, Li Yuechen didn't have time to explain too much, so he directly asked someone to bring a few cows over, and by the way, sent someone to Dali Temple to pick up some death row prisoners.

In this situation, it is not convenient to use your own people, but these criminals can use them temporarily.The big deal is to exempt them from the death penalty.

Because Li Zhi gave the order to cooperate fully, Li Yuechen's request was quickly satisfied.

After a while, several old scalpers were brought over. At the same time, Marquis Wu from Dali Temple escorted several death-row prisoners to Li Yuechen.

On the streets between Liangfang City, a temporary command post has been set up. People from Dali Temple came and saluted Li Yuechen: "Your Highness, the prisoner has been brought!"

"Well. I'll take a look."

Li Yuechen agreed, and followed the other party to the front of several prisoners who were brought.

These people were still tied up with hemp rope, looking at the soldiers in black military uniforms around them, they felt a little terrified on their faces.

They were thinking in their hearts, although they were sentenced to death, shouldn't they be executed by Qiu Hou?

Why did you bring them here in the beginning of spring?Besides, I haven't eaten the severed head meal I brought before...

Because most of the beheadings are usually in Nanshi, and here is only one street away from Nanshi, so it's no wonder they think so.

Seeing Li Yuechen coming in front of them, the prisoners all showed a look of doubt in their eyes.

The little girl in front of her is dressed in brocade clothes, she is not an ordinary person at first glance.But looking at the bright red round neck robe, with a black ponytail on the back of her head, and looking at the battle around her, she already had some guesses about her identity.

Li Yuechen looked at the prisoners left and right, and asked, "I am Princess Taiping. I asked you to come here today not to chop off your heads, but to give you a chance. There is smallpox here. I need you to assist me in the experiment, if it succeeds in the end, I can pardon your death penalty..."

Listening to her explanation, several prisoners understood what she meant.

To put it simply, Li Yuechen needed them to serve as liaison officers inside and outside the workshop during the isolation period, and at the same time maintain order inside.

"Of course, if you bully men and women inside, you will be caught by this palace at that time, and the crime will be aggravated, from beheading to quartering!" After finishing speaking, Li Yuechen did not forget to remind them.

After all, these people are all prisoners on death row. If they do things inside with the idea that they will die anyway, it will be very troublesome.

Several people looked at each other, and one of them took a step forward: "I have heard about His Highness's name for a long time, and I still have His Highness's longevity tablet at home. If His Highness does not dislike it, I will let the villain do my best for His Highness."

"You have to think about it. When the solution to smallpox comes out, you mainly need to experiment. If you don't accept it, you can go back now and wait for the queen to be killed." Li Yuechen reminded.

Having said that, she believed that most of them would agree.

Fear of death is the instinct of living beings. Although they seem to be indifferent, since they have a chance to survive, I believe they will seize the opportunity.

Sure enough, a few people just thought about it for a while, and then agreed, promising to be obedient.

Li Yuechen nodded, and immediately let them enter the workshop to maintain order, count the number of people by the way, and let them be responsible for transporting the food back when the time comes.

At the same time, they were also asked to bring the cows in first, and let those who already had smallpox symptoms touch these cows, and wait until smallpox began to appear on the cows before coming out to report.

……

After finishing these things, Li Yuechen turned his head and said to Wang Gangdan and others from the Engineering Academy who had just been called: "In the past few days, you guys make me a few needles. This needle is more troublesome, and it needs to be hollow in the middle..."

For craftsmen with superb craftsmanship in this era, although the production of hollow needles is troublesome, it is not completely impossible.

Wang Gangdan and others nodded and said they would make it when they got back.

Then Li Yuechen drew a syringe for the people in the glass workshop to try to make.

Although it is said that the syringes in the future hospital are made of plastic, Li Yuechen had seen syringes made of glass in the hospital when he was a child.

Since there is, it should be possible to come to glass.

The only thing that is a bit troublesome is the sealing rubber pad inside. You can only try to replace it with animal leather or beef tendon.

After such a series of orders were issued, everyone knew their responsibilities and immediately started to get busy.

This kind of mobilization ability really made many people present see the unusualness of this princess, only some people from Shangyao Bureau led by Liu Shenwei next to her were a little confused.

"Your Highness, what is my duty?" Liu Shenwei saw that everyone else had work to do, but he was the only one who was free.

"study!"

Li Yuechen turned his head and said, "This kind of illness is not a disaster from heaven, but a virus. It is like all kinds of poisons. The most important thing for such a virus outbreak is to isolate the source of infection..."

With the gradual in-depth explanation, Liu Shenwei understood a lot, but there were more and more things he didn't understand, and there were a lot of questions in his stomach that he wanted to ask.

He didn't have any doubts about Li Yuechen's ability to solve this matter. He knew that the princess didn't understand Qihuang's technique, but no one doubted her ability to solve the problem.

In fact, Li Yuechen has no way to explain it to him. After all, she is not a medical professional, so she can only explain it to him as clearly as possible based on her own knowledge.

But speaking of it, she came to this era because of the outbreak of the virus and was confined at home for more than a month. She fell down when she had nothing to do and wanted to clean the glass...

It is because of the period of being locked at home that I learned a lot of principles of virus transmission and corresponding solutions.

Li Yuechen talked more and more, but Liu Shenwei suddenly couldn't help but interrupted: "Your Highness, I've talked a lot at once, can I bring a pen and paper to record it?"

"Yes!" Li Yuechen nodded.

Rather, this is the best.It is best to record these things, sort them out, and form a system. If any infectious disease breaks out in the future, at least the imperial government should know how to deal with it.

Not to say that it will mature immediately, but at least there should be a corresponding concept first.

……

Under Li Yuechen's order, the various departments worked together in an orderly manner. The efficiency was so high that everyone present felt their eyes shine.

At the same time, the emperor and his wife are also paying attention to the affairs here.Even Li Xian, who had just become the crown prince, was also learning how to deal with things in the Hall of Renshou.

Only an hour later, Zhang Chengxin had already explained in front of the couple with joy: "Your Highness is really amazing, almost everyone can be arranged in place, so many people are like parts of those wonderful objects invented by His Highness." Generally, the cooperation is very smooth..."

Listening to Zhang Chengxin's words, the couple looked at each other and smiled.

Although this result is not too unexpected, it is still very gratifying to hear the report of the actual situation.

"This is the big picture...as expected of my daughter, hahaha..." Li Zhi couldn't help laughing.

Wu Zetian next to him also nodded: "Sometimes, my concubine also feels that leadership should be innate."

Li Xian who was sitting opposite drooped his eyelids, and secretly complained in his heart: "That's why I said that Yuechen should be the crown prince..."

Of course, he dare not say such words now, otherwise he might be taught a lesson by his mother again.

……

On the other side, the logistics reserve team led by Li Xian also entered the scene, distributing food every day according to the counted number of people. In order to ensure that the food was delivered to everyone, Li Yuechen also sent a few prisoners to check and investigate.

Although everyone is afraid of places where smallpox breaks out, as the saying goes, there must be a brave man with a big reward. With the big reward promised by Li Yuechen, there are still many brave people who are willing to go in.

Meanwhile, those who left in the first place were caught back the next day and thrown in again.

At the same time, the soldiers who were in charge of contacting them were also isolated separately. What Li Yuechen had to do was to minimize the possibility of smallpox breaking out in Dongdu.

These soldiers were temporarily placed in the isolation area, and Li Yuechen also asked them to pay attention to the movement inside.

In this era, people who are quarantined have no mobile phones, can't pass the time, and can't contact the outside world. It is inevitable that they will be afraid and do some irrational things.

For example, sabotage, or rape of women, etc... Li Yuechen also needs these soldiers to maintain order inside, so as to reduce the chance of accidents.

The Henan government office also appeased the people under Li Yuechen's order, telling them not to go out if they have nothing to do these days.

At the same time, Li Yuechen also asked Fulai to send a letter back to the palace, and asked Shangguan Wan'er to publish an article in the newspaper, saying that the current situation has been brought under control, and the princess is already looking for a solution...

Everything you do is for peace of mind.

Fortunately, after studying in the army for so long, most of the soldiers have already mastered the basic reading and writing skills and have a certain cultural foundation, so Li Yuechen asked these soldiers to read newspapers and the like to them in their spare time. stabilize their emotions.

Although, as a princess, she can give orders to cut off all disobedient ones, but if conditions permit, she should try to be as humane as possible.

This approach aroused Li Xian's doubts: "Why did Yuechen do this?"

"The stronger the country, the more gentle it is to the weak!" Li Yuechen turned his head and explained softly, then went to arrange other work.

Seeing the back of his sister leaving, Li Xian was stunned for a moment, and then smiled in relief. It seemed that he was no match for this sister after all.

Both myself and this younger sister learned the way of the emperor from their parents, but now Li Xian discovered that what he learned was only domineering, while what his younger sister learned was the way of kingship!

In Li Yuechen's view, all kinds of high-tech weapons and equipment are just proof of a country's "powerfulness", while blind streets in the streets, small slopes on curbs, barrier-free passages at stations and airports, etc... are the signs of a country's "powerfulness". embodiment of civilization.

What Li Yuechen wants to do now is not to become the emperor and maintain peace in his lifetime.But to raise the level of civilization.

……

Three days passed in a blink of an eye, and the first batch of masks that Shangyi Bureau worked overtime had finished, and Li Yuechen immediately distributed them to the soldiers.

Don't worry about her own strong physical fitness. At present, the safety of the frontline staff must be ensured first.

Although it was a bit stuffy after wearing this peculiar mask, they all put it on after hearing that the princess said that it could reduce the chance of being infected.

Now Li Yuechen has become an omnipotent god in their eyes, I am afraid that if she says that she can become a god by jumping off a cliff, someone will really try it.

After the masks were distributed, news came that several cows brought in a few days ago had been infected with smallpox, and their skin surface began to blister densely.

But at the same time, the few condemned prisoners who were sent in were basically infected, even including two soldiers.

Li Yuechen nodded and told them to wait until the cow had more smallpox.

Two days later, the Academy of Engineering finally sent three syringes.

The syringe is completely transparent, about the thickness of a finger, with a hollow needle only two centimeters long on the front.Inside the injection tube, beef tendon is used instead of the rubber pad to achieve the sealing effect.

Then I took a tube of water and tried it, and the effect of the needle tube in the future is almost the same.

Li Yuechen nodded: "Go to Dali Temple and bring some condemned prisoners over!"

The order was quickly executed, and after only half an hour, five death row prisoners who were tied up were brought over.

Li Yuechen didn't bother to explain, and handed the syringes to the soldiers in the isolation area, and asked them to draw the concentrated water from the pox on the cows.

Then the soldiers were asked to firmly control the five condemned prisoners, and then they were asked to beat the arms of several executed prisoners with thick water.

These few people didn't know what happened. They struggled and shouted desperately, but it didn't work. They could only watch helplessly as the unknown object was shot into their bodies.

After finishing all this, Li Yuechen waved his hand: "Take these people inside, let those infected with smallpox hug them, touch them a few times, observe for a few days, and report to me every half an hour once!"

After finishing speaking, he sat in a chair and began to wait for the news, success or failure was decided in one fell swoop.
