The Soul of the Han Dynasty in the Late Ming Dynasty

Chapter 264
Huang Han's words were as shocking as thunder on the ground. Doctor Li was frightened, his mouth was opened wide, and his eyes were round.

He panted heavily: "Is there really such a secret technique in the world? Master really understands its method?"

Huang Han saw that Dr. Li, who was almost 50 years old, did not mind taking a young man under 20 years old as his teacher in order to learn how to cool down patients and reduce the infection rate.I really want to accept this imperial physician as an apprentice, and I want to pass on to him the medical knowledge accumulated by many later generations that he has mastered, so that he can continue to study.

"Haha, apprenticeship is very serious and there should be a grand ceremony. Doctor Li has to think about it for a few days, so don't force it." Huang Han wanted to catch him.

Doctor Li was very persistent, he firmly said: "Don't think about it, the old man must have done the apprenticeship ceremony to the satisfaction of the teacher. Today, I will perform the apprenticeship ceremony first, and I will kowtow to you."

"Ah!" Qin Rong exclaimed in surprise when she saw the gray-bearded doctor Li really kneeling in front of Huang Han and kowtowing to his teacher.

Huang Han said: "Qin Rong, it's not convenient for me, you go and help me lift up the old apprentice."

Qin Rong hurriedly agreed and stepped forward to help the imperial physician who insisted on kowtowing three times.

"Prince Doctor Li..." Huang Han had just opened his mouth, but Doctor Li was unhappy and said:
"Master, I'm afraid it's inappropriate for you to call this apprentice like that. My name is Li Zhonghua."

Qin Yuyi was sentenced to death by Imperial Physician Li, and Huang Han came, three points were symptomatic, three points were God's will, and four points were due to Qin Yuyi's good physique, which made Qin Yuyi turn the crisis into safety, which of course shocked Li Taiyi.

Huang Han saw that this man was not pedantic and knew how to be flexible, and he didn't take the initiative to stay and seek advice humbly because he was young, so Li Zhonghua, a famous doctor who was nearly half a century old, willingly obeyed him as his teacher, which shows how dedicated he must be to medicine.

Therefore, Huang Han thinks that this person is a man who can be made and can be used to great effect.

Moreover, Li Zhonghua is a medical officer of the Imperial Hospital and has the aura of the government. In the future, the Imperial Hospital will take the lead in promoting vaccinia to prevent smallpox with twice the result with half the effort.Therefore, Huang Han is really going to teach Kaichun how to prevent smallpox by planting vaccinia.

Smallpox was a highly fatal infectious disease of this era, recorded as a type of plague.

During the Longqing period of the Ming Dynasty, people used vaccination to prevent smallpox. It is the earliest place of origin of vaccination in the world.

People in the Ming Dynasty generally used two methods, the dry seedling method and the water seedling method.The dry seedling method is to take the scabs of smallpox patients and grind them into fine powder, add camphor borneol, etc., and blow them into the noses of the vaccinated patients.

The water injection method is to add the patient's acne scab into human milk or water, dip it in with a cotton swab, and stuff it into the nose of the vaccinated person.

The idea of ​​these two methods is exactly the same as that of vaccinia, because as long as people survive smallpox, they will have lifelong immunity.

The ancients thought about this rule before they came up with the idea of ​​allowing people who were vaccinated to suffer from mild smallpox first and then recovered to obtain lifelong immunity after conditioning.

It's a pity that it is too wishful thinking to use human pox to slightly infect the vaccinated person with the smallpox virus. Maybe they will really die of the smallpox virus infection because they want to get immunity.

Due to the uncertainty of the prevention of smallpox, even if the death rate of people who died of prevention is more than ten times higher than that of people infected with the virus, it also makes people who dare to try it chat.

It is a pity that the people of the Ming Dynasty did not think that the smallpox virus is just a relatively harmless pox virus in cattle, and did not try to breed vaccinia.

Huang Han knew that the simplest and most effective method would of course be popularized in Daming. Li Zhonghua was the medical officer of the Imperial Hospital, and he took the lead in doing this. It was imperative for Kaichun to take the lead in inoculating vaccinia in the "Red Banner Army" system.

Without Huang Han opening his mouth, Qin Rong, who helped Li Zhonghua up, explained in detail how to cool down Qin Yuyi's temperature and feed her boiled water continuously throughout the day and night.

Li Zhonghua learned that alcohol has so many uses, and also learned that because of the use of alcohol disinfection, the death rate of the soldiers who were seriously injured in the Yongping Mansion and Luanzhou this summer fell from more than half of the previous rate to [-]%. about.

As if he had found a treasure, he immediately asked for a pot to take back to the Imperial Hospital for research. He was going to show it to the envoys and judges of the hospital to buy in large quantities, and then promote the use of the method to benefit the army and the people.

A group of female soldiers outside the gate couldn't hold back their joy when they saw Li Zhonghua, who had a gray beard, say that his disciple bowed down to bid farewell to Huang Han.Qin Yuyi's condition improved, and the haze that had shrouded the hearts of these female soldiers dissipated, and the little girls resumed their laughter.

In the living room, the round-faced female soldier told the old lady and the young lady the story of Huang Han's acceptance of Imperial Doctor Li as an apprentice, and parroted Huang Han's boasting.

Relying on his old face, Qin Liangyu went to invite her in person, and the imperial hospital sent a highly skilled imperial doctor Li to consult Qin Yuyi. Unexpectedly, Huang Han said a few words, and this medical officer became his apprentice.

Qin Liangyu asked suspiciously: "Fengyi, is Huang Han really as good at astronomy, geography, medicine, and arithmetic as he claims? Is there anything in this world that he doesn't know?"

"Mother, it seems that he didn't brag. He also knows farming and water conservancy. He was in Kaiping to renovate fertile land and repair reservoirs. At the wedding banquet, Xu Ge said that Huang Handa is far superior to him. Kaiping Town has at least [-] mu. The fertile fields are ready to grow rice in spring!"

"You can't believe everything that Xu Ge always praises his apprentice, alas! Huang Han is too outstanding, but it may not be a blessing!"

"Muxiu is bound to be destroyed by the forest wind. It doesn't matter. From now on, he will become the son-in-law of the Qin family, and it will be justifiable for his mother to control him."

"In order for Yanyi to be happy, the Qin family can only suffer from being dumb, but I don't know if the Holy Son of Heaven will give this completely unprecedented grace to Ping's wife?"

"It shouldn't be difficult, right?"

"Fengyi, there are too many scholar-bureaucrats in the imperial court who spend their free time and are dedicated to finding fault with the officials who do things. They will often hold on to meaningless things and finally force the emperor to give in."

"Mother, do you mean that if the Holy Son of Heaven is willing to be beautiful in adulthood, the courtiers may pick their noses and eyes?
Haha, you can rest assured that Huang Han's temper is probably not very good. He even dared to shoot and kill the deputy general of Guan Ning's army if he disagreed with him. Those civil servants have gone too far in the court. It is not known whether Huang Han is not allowed to beat him directly. Anyway, he is also a literati with a reputation as a scholar. "

Qin Liangyu couldn't help laughing: "Huang Han is a literati with terrifying military strength, and he has a notorious reputation for killing Shangguan. If he really commits a crime, the scholar-officials will definitely stay away."

Zhang Fengyi said disapprovingly: "A man with true temperament deserves my sister to follow him. If Huang Han really beats someone in the court for his sister's order, it will be a good story."

"You, you! You are a big man. After listening to Huang Han's nonsense, you don't think about persuading and stopping him, but you are going to cheer for him?"

"Mother, don't you like such a young hero who dares to love and hate? Isn't it because you admire him?"

Qin Liangyu sighed and said: "Alas! This old man has seen countless people, and only Huang Han is worthy of Yu Yi! It's just that things take a long time!"
