Chapter 368 The Method of Vaccination
In fact, the investment promotion projects promoted by the State-owned Assets Management Department are not limited to the mining and iron smelting industry, but include various industries controlled by state-owned assets, such as bridge and road construction, water conservancy construction, and related supporting industries. For example, the lime industry has become popular throughout Dachu.

In addition to these stupid heavy industries, there are other related industries being introduced, such as tea planting, porcelain firing, and silkworm raising. Under the guidance of the State Assets Management Department, they have expanded Related industrial scale, and began to try large-scale export.

Now there is an Overseas Trade Department under the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, which will regularly hold foreign trade conferences in Guangzhou, Shanghai and other places. Its target customers are overseas businessmen from the West, and it will serve as a bridge for domestic related industries to promote foreign trade. Development, and the tariffs collected for this alone are an astronomical sum.

Because of this, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce is almost the most popular department in the entire Dachu at present, and the State Assets Management Department under it is even more popular. The petty officials have a meal, because they have too many resources in their hands, and if they miss a little bit, it will be of endless benefits.

As the deputy director of the State Assets Management Department, Deng Lin has an unusual background. He was originally a deputy division commander in the Fuhan Army. Later, for some reason, he took off his military uniform and entered the political circle. By chance, he became a The deputy director of the State Assets Management Department of the Ministry of Industry and Commerce, but he has a straightforward personality, so even though his power has greatly increased, he still maintains his true colors.

"Whether the project can be promoted this time, our State-owned Assets Management Department will naturally provide help, but the key lies in the sincerity of cooperation between the two of you. Xiaogan County has resources, and your two chambers of commerce have funds. If you can cooperate, you can achieve a win-win situation. The State-owned Assets Management Department can only Will be responsible for supervising the entire project process, whether it is open and transparent enough."

After hearing Deng Lin's words, Liu Tongxun felt that he could no longer remain silent. He said sincerely: "Xiaogan County is called Emperor Township, but His Majesty has never favored it, nor has there been any reduction or exemption policy. He is the supreme father of the world. But as the parent official of a county, I cannot just watch the people continue to be impoverished like this.”

"This time the project is implemented, Xiaogan County can't show the most sincerity, but the officials can guarantee that it will definitely create a good environment for the project to be implemented for you, and relevant policies will also be introduced."

Cui Yu and Cheng Moran looked at each other, and then smiled and said: "We all understand what Master Liu means, and this aspect will also become a factor for us to consider, but we still need to make certain decisions about where to invest this time. I hope Master Liu can understand the comprehensive assessment."

"Understand, understand, everyone please!"

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, for the birth of a dragon son! The mother and child are safe and sound, please rest assured, Your Majesty."

"Congratulations, Your Majesty, the dragon son is born! The world is auspicious!"

On October [-]th of the first year of innovation, Cui Si finally gave birth to a baby, which made Ning Yu heave a sigh of relief. Looking at the little baby in his arms, he felt a bit of ecstasy in his heart. Ever since he came to this This is the first time he has felt the feeling of being connected by blood since he was in the world.

This is my son!

Ning Yu hugged the little baby in his hand, looked at his wrinkled little face, but felt a little more worried in his heart, turned his head to look at Ye Tianshi who was beside him, "Doctor Ye, is the prince all right?"

"Your Majesty, I'm fine now."

Ye Tianshi can only say this, and there are no other guarantees. After all, he is only a doctor, not a god.

In this era, giving birth to a pregnant woman is no less than going through a life-and-death test. The birth of a new life may require the mother's life, especially puerperal fever, which can almost take away a quarter of the mother's life, but no one knows why There will be puerperal fever, so Chinese medicine requires confinement to sit for a hundred days, not only can't comb hair and wash feet (hands-free bathing), but also can't see the wind, all kinds of taboos are because of puerperal fever is terrible.

Ning Yu, as a descendant, naturally knows the origin of puerperal fever, which is purely puerperal infection caused by various bacteria, mycoplasma, and chlamydia, but in this era, he has no way to let people understand what bacteria are.Due to the backwardness of medicine, the matter of conjoining births is full of dangers, not to mention other things.

In this regard, Ning Yu did not make any efforts. He asked people to make forceps, and asked everyone to wash their hands with lime water to disinfect, and then helped midwives use them to deliver babies. In order to ensure that Cui Si avoided puerperal fever, he asked People open doors and windows to maintain ventilation, so as to prevent the air from being too dirty.

Although this series of practices were not understood, Ning Yu was the emperor, and he would implement it even if he did not understand it. Therefore, after such hard work, Ning Yu was a little relieved, but when his son was born , more worries came to my mind again, because the death rate of newborns is too high!

The death rate of newborns is so high that you don’t even need to look at ordinary people. You can find an astonishingly high death rate just by looking at Emperor Kangxi, who is known as the Supreme in the World. Emperor Kangxi has bred as many as 55 princes and princesses in his life. , but only 27 of them lived to adulthood, and the mortality rate was as high as 51%.

You must know that the death of infants in civilian families can also be attributed to the poverty, hunger, or frequent wars and rampant plagues of the people, but this is not true for the Qing royal family and nobles.But even in such an environment, there is still a half-mortality rate, which means that once a baby is born, one of his feet has stepped on the door of hell, and if he is not careful, he will die prematurely.

"Your Majesty." Ye Tianshi looked serious, "Your Highness hasn't bloomed yet, so you need to be mentally prepared."

There is a folk proverb, "It is only half of a child, and it is not complete until it has smallpox."

Ning Yu was silent for a moment. He had heard this folk proverb, and of course he knew the horror of smallpox in this era. Since the advent of smallpox virus, it has taken a large number of lives. If you get smallpox, then life and death are decided by God.

If you get through it, you are considered an adult, if you don't get through it, you are only half born.

The smallpox virus was displayed in front of everyone in almost the cruelest way.

The reason why Ye Tianshi said this to Ning Yu was because he was worried that the emperor was too happy. If the prince had smallpox, he would have a high chance of dying, and he might not be able to bear such a blow, which would lead to excessive sadness. , so I took the risk to remind such a sentence.

Ning Yu knew in his heart that the smallpox virus will be truly extinct until the 20th century, so if he wants to get rid of the threat of smallpox in this era, he can only choose vaccination, so he said in a deep voice: "Doctor Ye, has vaccination been effective?"

Ye Tianshi pondered for a moment, and then said softly: "Your Majesty, I don't know much about this method, but there is an imperial physician in the imperial hospital who specializes in this method. He is called Yu Maokun. Why don't you call him here."

"Well, that's fine too."

Hearing what Ye Tianshi said, Ning Yu felt that this person's name was familiar, but he couldn't remember it, so he had to keep his doubts in his heart. Anyway, his purpose was to let the imperial doctors find a way to get cowpox, and the rest didn't matter. up.

After a while, an old man with gray hair walked into the hall, bowed his head and saluted, and said in a low voice, "My minister Yu Maokun has seen His Majesty."

Ning Yu glanced at this person, only to feel that although his appearance was ordinary, but his eyes were extremely energetic, he felt a little more fond of him, and without beating around the bush, he asked directly: "Physician Yu, do you have any knowledge about the vaccination method?" Research?"

Yu Maokun said softly: "Wei Chen knows the vaccination method very well, and is currently compiling a book on vaccination method, but it has not been compiled yet. Maybe in three years, I will be able to dedicate this book to Your Majesty."

"What's the name of this book?"

"Hehe, I haven't made up my mind yet. It's tentatively decided to be "Pox Branch Golden Mirror Fu Jijie". Please give me a name from Your Majesty."

When Ning Yu heard this, he suddenly recalled in his mind that in his previous life he had heard of a strange person in the Kangxi period, called Master Yu, who specialized in vaccination. However, it became the direction of reference for later doctors.

"This name is very good, there is no need to change it. Just ask Imperial Physician Yu to tell me about the current vaccination method."

Yu Maokun nodded humbly, and then began to introduce: "The method of vaccination has been around for more than 150 years. According to legend, it started in the Longqing period of the previous dynasty. Twenty or thirty ears, it can be called miraculous, and the humble minister is just the master of the ancestors."

"This method is to take the acne serum and put it in the child's nose, or grind the acne scab finely, blow it into the child's nose with a silver tube, and make it plant flowers, which will heal within a hundred days. This is called vaccination."

Of course Ning Yu knew the specific process of vaccinating, and he also knew that the method of vaccinating in later generations was actually transformed from the varicella method. The key lies in the process. The risk factor would be lower, so Ning Yu thought about telling Yu Maokun the vaccinia method.

"When the vaccination law came out, it really benefited the people. Emperor Kangxi also ordered vaccination all over the country. Although I am determined to overthrow the Qing government, I still respect Emperor Kangxi's move and am willing to follow suit."

After Yu Maokun heard it, he was instantly overjoyed, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, if we can fully promote vaccination in the south, then there will be no need to worry about smallpox poisoning, and the common people will not have to suffer from smallpox."

"I really want to promote vaccination, but it's not the current type of smallpox."

"If you don't inoculate human pox, what kind of pox should you inoculate?"

This made Yu Maokun very surprised. He thought he was the person who knew the best way to inoculate pox in the world, but he had never heard of other pox that could be inoculated.

Ning Yu smiled slightly, "When I was on the expedition, I encountered a strange person who was vaccinated with vaccinia. This method is similar to vaccinating vaccinia, except that the vaccinia is replaced by vaccinia, and its toxicity has been weakened, so it is safer to vaccinate young children."

"But... But this method has never been found in classics"

Yu Maokun stammered a bit, even though he already had some confidence in his heart, he couldn't overthrow what he had learned all his life, so he had no choice but to refute like this.

"The previous varicella method has never been found in the classics." Ning Yu said with a bit of determination on his face, "The method of inoculating vaccinia can be used on the prince first, and if it is effective, it can be popularized throughout the country."

"Your Majesty!"

Ye Tianshi and Yu Maokun shook their heads at the same time, "Is there any reason to take risks with the heirs of the Tian family? The ministers and others tried their best to create a vaccination method, and it may be more appropriate to find young children to be vaccinated among the people."

Ning Yu knew in his heart that the vaccinia method was safer, and nothing would happen if he vaccinated, so how could he let go of this opportunity to gain fame?
"You don't need to say anymore, although the prince is a member of the Tian family, he should be like me to bring about the well-being of all people. The vaccination method will be used on the prince first, and once it is successful, it can be promoted to the whole country immediately."

Seeing Ning Yu's resolute attitude, the two had no choice but to agree to step back and study the method of cowpox first.

However, the cowpox method that Ning Yu created had to be used on the prince first, but it aroused the anger of the Queen Mother, and she even sent someone to ask Ning Yu to go to Changchun Palace to explain.

Ning Yu knew in his heart that this would happen sooner or later, but he was not curious. After arriving at Changchun Palace, he found that not only the empress dowager with an unhappy face was there, but also the Supreme Emperor Ning Zhongyuan was also there, but he seemed quite embarrassed. indifferent.

"Emperor, if it's a state affairs, my palace shouldn't interfere, but the cowpox method you mentioned has never been verified. How can it be used on my grandson, let alone your eldest son!"

Ning Yu had a wry smile on his face, and he could only patiently explain, "My mother, the method of cowpox is safer than the method of human pox. After using it, the eldest son of the emperor will not experience smallpox again in the future. What's more, the royal family should set an example, so that the people will be at ease."

Seeing that Ning Yu insisted on this, the Queen Mother became a little anxious, and said to Ning Zhongyuan: "You have to say something! This is our grandson, so there must be no mistakes! If there is a mistake, how to explain to Cui Qing? "

"Hehe. Don't be angry. In fact, Yu'er's move is reasonable, but I just want to ask, is this method really safer than human pox?" Ning Zhongyuan had a serious expression on his face. I have suffered from human pox, so I know a little about it, so I don't worry so much.

Ning Yu said solemnly: "Father, you can rest assured that the method of cowpox is not as toxic as human pox, so it will only be safer."

Seeing that his son made such a promise, Ning Zhongyuan gradually felt relieved, and turned his head to comfort the Queen Mother, "I think this matter is still reliable, after all, Yu'er is not the kind of person who talks about it, if this matter is true It can be done, and it is indeed a good thing for the common people, and it can win the hearts of the people!"

"But...but why do you have to use it on the emperor's grandson first? That's all, you two, father and son, don't regret it in the future!"
