Chapter 369 The advent of the vaccinia method

Because in this era, the human pox method itself is very mature, so the vaccinia method is not difficult. After only a few days, Yu Maokun found a cow suffering from smallpox, took the scab, and then ground it into Powder, it can be regarded as the initial vaccinia.

However, this kind of vaccinia could not be applied directly. Then Yu Maokun found a healthy person and vaccinated him with vaccinia. After he developed the vaccinia, he removed the scab and completed the process of detoxification. It will also be safer and more assured.But he kept the emperor from this step, no matter what, he couldn't let the eldest son of the emperor take risks.

A few days later, when it was time for the official vaccinia vaccination, Ning Yu did not simply let the eldest son vaccinate, but sent someone to invite the reporter from Qingliu Report to the palace to witness the moment of vaccinia vaccination, and let He carefully recorded it and will post it to the newspaper in the future. This is a very important moment.

Coincidentally, after Wang Jingqi joined Qingliubao, because of his excellent writing skills and innate understanding of current affairs beyond ordinary people, he was quickly valued by Lu Yizhong, the editor-in-chief of Qingliubao. The reporter came to the palace to record this extraordinary moment.

Now in the palace, Wang Jingqi felt a little trembling all over his body. When he saluted the emperor, although he knew that he didn't need to kneel down, he still couldn't help but want to bend his knees. He saluted the emperor excitedly, with a slightly Trembling, seemed to have forgotten the purpose of this trip, and did not start to prepare for recording until he calmed down.

Cowpox method——Wang Jingqi doesn't understand this method of doctors, but he knows who the protagonist today is not Yu Maokun, but the newly born eldest son of the emperor, and he is very likely to become the future prince!
Different from the excitement in Wang Jingqi's heart, Yu Maokun was more excited about the possibility of the vaccinia method. He brought the vaccinia powder to the palace very early. The nanny was carried out, and he blinked his ignorant eyes, looking at the stranger who appeared in front of him, not only did he not feel afraid, but instead felt a little novel.

"let's start."

Ning Yu waved his hand lightly. He hoped that from this moment on, the vaccinia method could truly appear in front of the world, appearing 80 years in advance, and perhaps save more people from smallpox.

Yu Maokun used a straw to take a little bit of powder, then put it next to the nose of the eldest son of the emperor, Ning Chengze, and blew lightly, only to see the powder was blown into the nostril all at once, which made the emperor The eldest son seemed to feel some discomfort, and soon burst into tears.

After the nanny took the eldest son down, Yu Maokun said respectfully: "This method will be effective within ten days, and as long as the eldest son develops blisters, everything will be fine."

"This is a hard work for Imperial Physician Yu."

Ning Yu smiled, then looked at Wang Jingqi, and said softly: "You can write all these in the Qingliu newspaper, and record them as they are. The people must fundamentally believe in vaccination, so that the spread of smallpox can be controlled."

"Your Majesty is wise, this time the emperor's eldest son is used to test the vaccinia method on behalf of the young children of the people. This is the most benevolent government in the world. It is comparable to the ancient Yao and Shun. It is really an act of a holy king."

Wang Jingqi had an excited look on his face, but Ning Yu felt a little tired of seeing it. I don't know whether he is sincere or flattering, but these are not important anymore. Ning Yu still hopes to pass this matter. To promote the benevolent policy of vaccinia, there is nothing wrong with exaggerating the process.

Throughout November in Nanjing City, the news of the birth of the eldest son of the emperor was spreading inside and outside the city.Although people didn't discuss it in public, they all had a bit of joy on their faces. The reason was very simple. After the emperor had an heir, the biggest trouble disappeared.

Although the common people don't understand the important affairs of the court, they have their own set of views on whether the emperor will have a heir or not. That is the ethics and morality rooted in the blood - only orderly inheritance can be a stable society. If the emperor has no heirs , it means that there will be struggles around the throne in the future, and the political chaos will also affect the lives of the people.

Therefore, with this good news, the vaccinia method was also spread. The people knew that this was when the eldest son of the emperor first tested the subjects. Although they did not understand how effective the vaccinia method was, it did not hinder The status of the royal family in their hearts has once again been improved.

Soon, after the vaccinia method was successfully verified, Qingliu News published a special issue, which recorded the origin of smallpox and its various hazards, and then wrote the evolution of the varicella method and vaccinia method, and finally It also included the entire process of vaccination of the eldest son of the emperor. The text is simple and straightforward, and even ordinary people can understand it.

The smallpox special issue of this issue was quickly snapped up in Nanjing City, and the special issues sent to other big cities were almost sold out at the first time, forcing Qingliu Newspaper to reprint it repeatedly, and then continued to sell it until the end of the year. In other cities, in just half a month, a full 50 copies of this special issue were printed, and all of them were sold out.

In fact, the reason is very simple. For the common people, the emperor does not need to be so good at all. He only needs to ensure a safe and orderly life for them and provide the most basic material guarantee so that the common people will not starve to death. That is the world First class Mingjun.

Therefore, when Ning Yu has been working hard in this direction, the people will naturally be grateful to Dade. They don't think that this is what the emperor must do, but take it as the emperor's benevolence to his subjects, especially This time, the advent of the vaccinia method and the trial by the emperor's eldest son made them think that the emperor really cared about the people.

Of course, during this process, the power of the newspaper once again shocked the ruling and opposition parties. The sales of 50 copies not only broke the previous record, but also refreshed their weight in the hearts of the cabinet. The propaganda ability of the newspaper is really too strong!
At the cabinet meeting, the scenes of endless disputes in the past disappeared, and almost everyone looked at Ning Zhongquan, Minister of the Propaganda Department. Even Ning Zhongjing, the chief assistant of the cabinet, and Cui Wancai, the second assistant, looked at Ning Zhongquan. He looked a little dignified.

This scene had to make Ning Zhongquan, the Minister of the Propaganda Department, extremely proud. Ever since he became the Minister of the Propaganda Department, he has been lamenting that he was assigned to a Qingshui yamen, and he couldn't work hard. Peng Qifeng, who was so quiet in the movie, actually made such a big name!
Although everyone knows that the main messenger here is the current emperor, it is quite remarkable to be able to sell these 50 copies of the newspaper, let alone how terrifying the influence it caused, just the money earned They all reached as high as 5000 taels, which is not a small number, almost the annual expenditure of a hundred middle-class households.

"Ning Shangshu, the impact of the Qingliu report this time has indeed exceeded our expectations. What do you think?"

Ning Zhongjing's face was a little serious, although they were brothers, but above the court, there were no brothers, only colleagues, especially in this kind of cabinet affairs, there should be no negligence in the slightest.

Ning Zhongquan was not very clear about the development of Qingliu News, so he had to say in a low voice: "The development of Qingliu News belongs to the Press and Publishing Department. From the point of view of the following officials, it is better to invite Peng Qifeng, the deputy director of the Press and Publishing Department, to come and describe it in detail."

"That's fine, then invite Director Peng." Ning Zhongjing's voice was a bit majestic.

The joint meeting of cabinet ministers is different from the meeting of the Executive Yuan. Participants must be above the ministerial level of the various ministries under the Executive Yuan, and above the level of the censor of the Metropolitan Procuratorate. Therefore, an ordinary director has no right to participate in the cabinet meeting. Level officials must be approved by the chief minister before they can participate in special attendance.

After Peng Qifeng learned that the cabinet had summoned him, his face suddenly became excited. This was undoubtedly a kind of affirmation of his work, so he quickly packed up the relevant materials and followed the visitors to the cabinet meeting hall among.

"Peng Qifeng, Deputy Director of the Press and Publishing Department of Xiaguan, has met Lord Shoufu, Lord Cifu, and Lord Ministers of various ministries."

Peng Qifeng swallowed nervously. In fact, when he was watching the government in the palace, he had a lot of dealings with Ning Zhongjing. Feel less tense.

Ning Zhongjing naturally still remembered this top scholar. He always admired this kind of literati, and he smiled a little, "Director Peng, take it easy, you just need to put your current plans for the Press and Publishing Department, Just say it in the cabinet, and don’t be afraid if there are problems.”

As soon as Peng Qifeng heard Ning Zhongjing's voice, his heart suddenly calmed down, "I would like to report to the Chief Assistant, although the Press and Publishing Department has just been established this year, the relevant arrangements have already begun to be implemented, and the "Qingliu News" has made a breakthrough and has been published as of today. Millions of copies By the first half of next year, the Press and Publishing Department plans to support [-] newspapers of various types to publish and strictly supervise the accuracy of their content.”

This time it can be said to be Peng Qifeng's work report. Although he was pulled over very suddenly this time, he didn't know how many times he had gone through it in his mind, so it is reasonable to say it now, and more importantly, It is extremely detailed in terms of data, which is completely different from the fake and empty things of the imperial court in the past.

The ministers of the imperial court became more and more satisfied the more they listened, and they couldn't help nodding when they looked at this young man again. This talent is a talent after all, and he has soared into the sky in such a short period of time. Maybe after such a time, I'm afraid Yes, Fuzheng is not far away.
After all, everyone knows that the position of Director of the Department of Press and Publication is still vacant, and there are not many people in the imperial court who have this opportunity to compete, and Peng Qifeng is almost the only candidate in it. If this position is not given to him, who else has this position? What about qualifications?
After nightfall in Nanjing City, the sky is always shining with brilliance, but for the people in the city, it does not mean that they will immediately step into their dreams, because the night life in Nanjing is even more exciting than the life in the daytime.

In the Qinhuai River, after dark every day, there will be a large number of flower boats driving on the river. Lanterns and hydrangea are often hung on the boats. It seems that the whiteness adds a bit of festiveness and ambiguity. , yelling and playing with the little girl on the flower boat on the shore.

"Congratulations, brother Peng. The performance in the cabinet this time is really too wonderful. Not only did Mr. Shoufu praise you, but his Majesty's ears may also be heard. It seems that the day of rectification is near. "

Wu Jingzi picked up a glass of wine, but drank it all in one gulp, his face turned a little blush in an instant, he was really happy for his friend, but he also felt a little bit disappointed for his chance.

You know, before that, almost everyone thought that only he, Wu Jingzi, was the best in this list of talents. Compared with others, his position was almost the most important, and he was also the closest to the center.

But only Wu Jingzi knew in his heart that every day when he was running the company, he could only obey orders and never had the means to take the initiative to do anything, because running a company was almost equivalent to a cabinet secretary and an errand runner, and even his deputy The director is just a special errand for the top bosses. Behind the seemingly glorious glory, there is no room for him to speak at all.

"You are all doing a good job now, Liu Tongxun and Wang Youdun are also flourishing in the local area, but I am the only one who only works with copywriting every day."

The sadness in the words is beyond words.

Looking at his friend's expression, Peng Qifeng naturally understood something in his heart. These are just some things that he has experienced before, and there is no way for outsiders to understand them. Only when he has experienced it himself can he truly come out of the predicament , other than that, there is no good way.

"Brother Wu, your majesty can see some things. The current experience is not a waste of life for you." Peng Qifeng drank a glass of wine, and he felt that he had indeed grown a lot after this period of time.

"Your Majesty should be able to see it"

Wu Jingzi remembered the scene when he met Ning Yu by chance, and also thought of his experience in serving in the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, so he couldn't help feeling a little more confident, maybe he was being tested.

Peng Qifeng took a look at Wu Jingzi's slump, and said with a smile: "Brother Wu, today we don't care about official business, but just talk about romance?"

"Okay! Let's not talk about business, just talk about romance!"

The two of them were originally good wine drinkers, and with the addition of poems to add to the fun, they drank the wine very quickly, and they tended to get drunk after a while.Especially Wu Jingzi, who lay on the railing and vomited non-stop.

Peng Qifeng sent someone to send Wu Jingzi back to his residence, but he himself returned to the office of the Press and Publishing Department. He opened the drawer and took out a copy of "Qingliu Bao" that smelled like ink. smile.
