Daqin: After marrying a vegetative princess, I went crazy with joy

Chapter 235
The inoculation of Xianyang City is in full swing.

Naturally, the manpower in Donghai County cannot be idle.

Wang Jian is still besieging Donghai County. After all, the people in other counties have not been vaccinated yet.

If there is an accident, the consequences will be disastrous.

Liu Bai also led people, centering on Donghai County, and spreading outward.

Fusu has been very happy these few days, after all, he can be alone.

With a small team, stationed in Surabaya County to help people vaccinate.

At the beginning, everything went well, but after a few days, fewer and fewer people were vaccinated in Sishui County.

Looking at the records, most of the people have not been vaccinated at this time, so there must be something strange about this situation.

Just when Fusu wanted to go out, Shen Zhong, the head of Sishui County, hurried over.

"Young Master, it's not good. There are news from several counties that the common people refuse to be vaccinated. What should we do?"

Fusu looked at him suspiciously.

"This is a cure for disease prevention. They refuse to be vaccinated. Don't they want to die? Can the sheriff find out why?"

Shaking his head, the sheriff thought carefully about his subordinate's report.

"The detailed reason was not stated in the report, but the minister heard from his subordinates that there was a rumor among the people that they would die after being vaccinated. Therefore, many people refused to be vaccinated..."

Fusu looked at him in disbelief.

"Have you received any reports from the dead?"

The sheriff shook his head, if such a big event happened, he would report it immediately, how could he hide it.

"Are there any people in Xiang County who refuse to be vaccinated?"

Xiangxian County is where the county government of Sishui County is located. Seeing the county guard nodding to help Su, he got up and walked out.

"Go and see!"

When I came to the vaccination site, I saw that the number of people was much smaller.

Fusu entered the room, and looked at the physicians at the side.

"Compared with the past, the number of people vaccinated today is much less?"

The doorman nodded, and handed the record book to Fusu.

"Nearly [-]% less..."

After flipping through it, Fusu put the notebook on the table.

"Does your lord know if there are any unvaccinated people nearby? Let's go and see..."

After thinking for a moment, the sheriff led Fusu towards a family that was closer.

After entering, I saw a woman holding her child, sitting in the courtyard and crying.

With a slight smile, Fu Su asked gently.

"Sister-in-law, what's the matter with you?"

Seeing them coming in, the woman's complexion changed drastically.

Put the children on the ground, get up and grab the stool under their buttocks and throw them at them.

"It's you, it's you who killed my child..."

On that day, the person in front of him, together with the sheriff, coaxed them to vaccinate.

Fusu hurriedly dodged to the side to calm the woman's emotions.

"Sister-in-law, don't worry, can you tell us what happened?"

Missing a blow, the woman lowered her head dejectedly.

"You are noble people, we ordinary people know our status is low, please let us go, don't come to harm us..."

After hearing the words, the two of them were confused.

Seeing the woman picking up the child again and sitting on the steps in the courtyard, her eyes were full of distress.

Looking intently, Fusu was overjoyed.

"Didn't the adults say that this family has not been vaccinated? Look at the rash on the child's face, it is clearly a reaction after the vaccination..."

The sheriff glanced at the child and replied softly.

"Only the child in this family has been vaccinated, and the others have not yet been vaccinated."

Nodding his head, Fusu knew about it in his heart.

He took two steps forward and looked at the woman.

"Sister-in-law, since you took your child to vaccinate, why didn't you vaccinate at that time?"

"Look at the rash on the child's face. This is a normal reaction after vaccination. It will recover in seven or eight days. By then, he will no longer be infected with smallpox virus..."

The woman looked at him suspiciously, then looked down at her own child.

Thinking about what the neighbor told her again, she was full of vigilance.

"Don't lie to me again, others have said that as long as you have a rash on your body, you will die soon..."

"Poor kid who is playful and ran to get vaccinated by himself! I am a mother, if I knew, I would have stopped him, how could I harm him?"

Hearing this, Fu Su shook his head.

"Sister-in-law, I'm afraid you have been deceived! There are so many people vaccinated in our county, have you ever seen any of them die?"

"Besides, the imperial court inoculates the common people to prevent the disease. If it is true as you said, killing all the common people, what good will it do to the imperial court?"

The woman snorted coldly, not believing his words at all.

"Since you said that vaccination can cure the disease, why is Donghai County still under lockdown?"

Fusu looked at her and said patiently.

"That's because the people in other counties haven't finished the vaccination. If someone infected with the disease comes out from Donghai County, the disease will be brought out again..."

The woman laughed out loud, regardless of her image.

"My lord, just now you said that vaccination can prevent and treat the disease, but now you say that someone in Donghai County will bring out the disease. If so, the people in Donghai County have not been cured, right?"

Fusu thought for a while, then nodded honestly.

"Vaccination is only effective for those who have not yet been infected. If you have already caught the disease, it cannot be cured..."

The woman sighed and was too lazy to talk to them any more.

"Okay, let's go! We won't vaccinate."

Seeing the two standing still, the woman put down the child in her arms.

He got up and took a broom, trying to beat the two of them out.

Seeing this, the two quickly turned around and left, thinking about countermeasures all the way back.

The sheriff couldn't figure it out, and said in confusion.

"That day, the minister had already demonstrated the vaccination in front of the people, why don't they believe it now?"

Before coming here, Liu Bai had told him that the quickest way to convince the common people was to let the county guards and county magistrates in various places vaccinate in front of them.

Unexpectedly, the effect was not bad at the beginning, but now it has become like this.

"The sheriff only heard about it. The woman said that there were rumors that people would die after being vaccinated. First, send someone to find out the source..."

In response, the sheriff went to arrange various matters.

Fusu sat at the table, staring at the cup beside her, lost in thought.

After a while, with a helpless sigh, he called the Eagle Guard sent by Liu Bai.

"Report this matter to the son-in-law quickly, and ask him to come as soon as possible..."

Yingwei nodded and turned to send the message.

Fusu sat at the table and calculated Liu Bai's itinerary.

He should be in Jibei County now, if he really wanted to come, he would still have to travel for a few days.

In the meantime, you can't do nothing, can you?
After a moment of careful consideration, Fusu slapped the table, got up and walked outside.

Under his orders, the people of Xiang County gathered outside the Sheriff's Mansion.

After everyone quieted down, Su Su looked at them sincerely.

"Folks, I believe you have all heard of the disease in Donghai County. The disease is called smallpox. It is highly contagious and the death rate is extremely high..."

"Now the imperial court has found a way to prevent and treat it. It is vaccination with vaccinia. A rash will appear two to three days after the vaccination, and it will be cured in seven to eight days. After recovery, you will never be infected with smallpox again in your life.

"Today, I heard that someone refused to be vaccinated. I was very puzzled. Don't you care about your own life at all? Don't you care about the lives of your family members?
Having said that, Fu Su rolled up his sleeves.

"Look, everyone, this is the scar left after my vaccination. If the imperial court really wants to harm you, why would they vaccinate me, the eldest son?"
