Daming: Mixed in Dangzhi County, Beiping

"Guo Ang, why are you still standing there, go and serve tea!"

Guo An hurriedly turned around and ordered Guo Ang on the side.

As for Zhu Di, he no longer stopped him.

He has sorted out the good and the bad and has done his duty, but he can't stop Zhu Di from being so reckless.

soon.

Tea was brought.

Guo An, Zhu Di, Han Shi and others all drank tea directly from their cups.

Having just said so much, they were all a little thirsty!

After two cups of warm tea, Zhu Di asked Han Shi again.

And Han Shi didn't hide anything, telling how they found cows infected with smallpox, how they used death row prisoners to inoculate cowpox, how they ensured the safety of cowpox, how they found people infected with smallpox for experiments, and how they inoculated themselves Plant smallpox and then test it...

After telling the story, Zhu Di nodded excitedly.

"In this way, Han Qing and a group of disciples have worked hard for two years and have proven that if smallpox from cow's milk is planted on people, people will no longer be infected with smallpox. Even people infected with smallpox may be infected with smallpox. Cure!”

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

Han Shi quickly stood up and saluted.

Zhu Di praised loudly: "You have made great contributions to our Ming Dynasty and developed a miracle medicine for the people of the world, which is comparable to the reincarnation of Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing!"

"How dare you compare yourself to the medical sage with your trivial achievements!"

Han Shi said hurriedly.

Zhu Di said: "With this great achievement, we will give you a knighthood!"

"I thank you, Your Majesty, little man!"

Han Shi stood up in a hurry and thanked him with excitement.

Zhu Di asked again: "Is it easy to find cattle infected with smallpox? If smallpox was raging in a certain state in the Ming Dynasty, how many cattle infected with smallpox would be needed, and how long would it take to suppress the smallpox in that place? To heal the people in that place?”

Han Shi replied: "Your Majesty, I have thousands of cattle in every state and county in the Ming Dynasty.

Moreover, there are many farm cattle infected with Bovine smallpox.

If a smallpox epidemic occurs in a certain place, the villain estimates that the cattle in that place can cure the smallpox epidemic in that place.

If it can't be cured, we can bring over all the cattle in that area and it can be cured! "

Zhu Di was overjoyed, "So, my Ming Dynasty no longer has to worry about smallpox?"

Han Shi nodded slightly, "Your Majesty, that's exactly what it is!"

Zhu Di asked again: "So, can we vaccinate those people with cowpox in advance?"

"Return to Your Majesty, absolutely fine!"

Han Shi replied again, "The villain and all the disciples were vaccinated with cowpox in advance!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly and asked: "How many doctors are there at the medical school now?"

Han Shi glanced at Guo An and replied slowly: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the number of people coming in and out of the medical school every day is variable, and I also have various things to be busy with.

Therefore, the villain does not know the specific number of people in the medical school. He only knows that there are more than 60 good doctors and physicians in the medical school, and as for the apprentices, there are more than 600! "

"More than six hundred!"

Zhu Di sighed with emotion and asked again: "If all medical schools are vaccinated against cowpox, how long will it take to vaccinate all the people of Ming Dynasty?"

"This……"

Han Shi's face turned bitter and he looked at Guo An again.

Guo An smiled helplessly, "Your Majesty, doctors and apprentices at the medical school cannot go out in large numbers now!"

Zhu Di frowned and asked: "Why?"

Guo Andao: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the medical school now receives hundreds of patients every day!
In addition, many patients still live in the medical school, leaving those doctors without treatment.

If there are too many doctors out of the medical school, there will be no one to treat the patients in the medical school! "

"Hundreds of patients every day?"

Zhu Di was stunned.

Guo An and Han Shi both nodded slightly, "Your Majesty, that's right!"

Zhu Di looked surprised and said: "There are so many patients in the capital of Ming Dynasty?"

Guo An nodded, "Your Majesty, it's all the same! It's just that some people don't have money at home and they can't afford medical treatment, so they didn't come.

In addition, those people who are far away from the medical school cannot come because they don't have enough money or can't find a way out.

Otherwise, the medical school would have more patients every day! "

"Ugh!"

Zhu Di sighed slightly, "We thought that our Ming Dynasty was already in its prime!"

"Your Majesty clearly shows you!"

Guo An quickly consoled him, "No matter how prosperous the world is, there will still be poor people. Today's Ming Dynasty is much better than them being hungry and unable to see the end of their days!"

"Yes!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly and continued: "Guo Qing, if the medical school dispatches half of the doctors and apprentices to vaccinate the people in various prefectures of the Ming Dynasty with cowpox, is it possible?"

"not good!"

Guo An shook his head directly.

Zhu Di asked again: "What about the three men?"

Guo An said helplessly, "It's not about manpower, it's about vaccination. Your Majesty and the ministers may believe it.

However, even the doctors and apprentices in the medical school don't know whether vaccination can cure and prevent smallpox. If they are allowed to go there, they don't know whether they can do it well.

The people in those state capitals will also resist!
As for vaccination, it may not be as easy as Dr. Han Liang's.

If a person suddenly develops a fever or faints after being infected with smallpox, big trouble will occur! "

"..."

Hearing this, Zhu Di couldn't help but frown, "We didn't think enough about it!"

"Your Majesty, if you are concerned, you will be in chaos!"

Guo An quickly chuckled.

Zhu Di asked: "Then how can these smallpox be planted among the people?"

"This……"

Guo An thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, we can only wait until smallpox is discovered in that place, and then ask Dr. Han Liang to take his disciples there to inoculate the local people with cowpox and cure the smallpox.

The people in that area saw the effectiveness of the cowpox vaccination, and even if they had to pay, they would all beg Doctor Han to vaccinate them with cowpox!"

Zhu Di asked again: "How much is appropriate to charge?"

Hearing this, Han Shi stopped talking.

Guo An said: "Your Majesty, Dr. Han Liang and others spent a lot of money on developing cowpox.

In addition, it was very hard for them to travel around to vaccinate cowpox.

Just charge two cents for each person! "

"Two cents?"

Hearing this, Zhu Di frowned again.

"With such a small amount of money, would the disciples of Dr. Han Liang be willing to vaccinate the common people with cowpox?"

Han Xi said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, don't worry, villains and those incompetent disciples, as doctors, it is their duty to treat illnesses and save people!
Moreover, two cents per person is a lot! "

"Your Majesty, two coins per person is really a lot!"

Guo An also explained, “There are at least 50,000 or 60,000 people in a county, and there are even hundreds of thousands of people in a county.

Dr. Han Liang and the others would earn at least one hundred taels of silver if they planted crops in a county. "

Zhu Di's eyes widened and he couldn't help but nod his head, "That's a lot!"

Guo An added, "But Your Majesty, this is actually not much. It is also hard-earned money for Doctor Han Liang and the others.

However, many people in the Ming Dynasty are still very poor, so they can only give in to Dr. Han Liang and others! "

"Back to Your Majesty, Your Highness, I am not wronged! With so much money, I and others are already very satisfied!"

Han Shi said quickly.

"It doesn't have to be like this!"

Guo An waved his hand, "Although you have good intentions, you also have family members and need to live."

Zhu Di glanced at Guo An and said to Han Xi: "Since we have to wait until the smallpox breaks out in the Ming Dynasty, the Han Qing family can take people to plant smallpox.

In this case, we can only wait until that time, when the effect of Niu Xiaopox appears and the civil and military officials agree, I will knight you at that time! "

Han Xi hurriedly knelt down, his face full of gratitude, "I thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty is so kind, I will do my best to repay Your Majesty's kindness!" Zhu Di waved his hand, "You deserve all this!"

Guo An said: "Doctor Han Liang, when you are free, come to my house and inoculate everyone in my house with cowpox!"

"what?"

Han Xi raised his head with a surprised look on his face.

On the side, Zhu Di also looked surprised.

Guo An explained slowly: "Since it is possible to vaccinate cowpox, I will vaccinate some in the palace first.

Otherwise, if smallpox does appear one day, although it can be cured by planting again, the consequences will be greater! "

"I see!"

Hearing this, Zhu Di nodded slightly, with some movement in his eyes.

"In this case, plant it for us too!"

"Your Majesty, don't be anxious!"

Guo An's face changed slightly and he said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, there won't be any smallpox in the capital for a while.

And His Majesty is a man of wealth and cannot take any risks.

It would not be too late for Your Majesty to wait for the cowpox vaccination in Weichen's house and confirm that there are no accidents! "

Han Shi also looked at Zhu Di hurriedly.

Zhu Di pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.

"This is okay!"

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

Guo An and Han Shi both breathed a sigh of relief.

Later, when he had a mission, Han Shi quickly resigned.

After Han Xi left, Zhu Di took a sip of tea and said seriously to Guo An, "Is vaccination really feasible? Will Guo Qing let others try it first?"

Guo Andao: "Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty, but Wei Chen informed Han Shi and the others about this method, and Wei Chen also knows the results of every test they make.

Weichen believes that vaccination with cowpox is feasible and will not cause too much harm to people! "

"That's good!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly and didn't say any more.

Then, he talked about his purpose.

"I have asked the people from Qintian Prison to calculate that in two months, the fourth day of November will be a good day to get married!
On that day, your heir apparent will marry Princess Xianning! "

"The fourth day of November?"

Guo An quickly calculated. Although time was a bit tight, it was enough!
Moreover, judging from Zhu Di's intentions, the older Princess Xianning made Zhu Di impatient.

So, he nodded slightly.

"I hereby obey your Majesty's instructions!"

"Ok!"

Zhu Di smiled with satisfaction, "Hurry up and find a time to come to the palace and ask us for a wedding date!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Guo An responded again, "I will go to the palace in person tomorrow and ask for a wedding date from Your Majesty!"

"Ok!"

Zhu Di nodded slowly, even more satisfied.

"The candidate for the editor will be decided in a few days. At that time, we will let the prince inform Guo Qing!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

"..."

Next, after some more casual chatting, Zhu Di left.

"Congratulations, Your Highness!"

After seeing off Zhu Di, Guo Ang, Xu Yong and others congratulated Guo An with joyful faces.

Guo An waved his hand slowly, and then said: "You must not spread the news about what happened today!"

Guo Ang and Xu Yong quickly promised: "Your Highness, don't worry, I won't say a word!"

"Ok!"

Guo An nodded slightly. On this aspect, he still believed it.

Guo Ang asked again: "Your Highness, do you really want to inoculate the people in our house with smallpox?"

Xu Yong also looked at Guo An hurriedly.

"It's natural!"

Guo An nodded slightly, "You all know a little about the process of Han Shi and his team's smallpox experiment. You know that planting smallpox in cattle can really prevent smallpox!"

"But His Highness and the Princess are both rich and powerful..."

Guo Ang hesitated for a moment, and then said again: "Your Highness, why don't you vaccinate the villain and others first, and wait until the villain and others have nothing to do, and then you can vaccinate again?"

"Need not!"

Guo An waved his hand and refused, "It's just smallpox, it's not a serious disease?"

With that said, Guo An looked at Guo Ang.

"Right now, the most important thing is to prepare for tomorrow's wedding!"

Guo Ang said directly: "Your Highness, don't worry, the government has been preparing for this matter a few months ago!"

Guo An breathed a sigh of relief, "If that's the case, then we can rest assured!"

"Let's go and inform the princess and others about this first!"

"Yes, Your Highness!"

……

royal palace.

After Zhu Di returned to Wenlou, he summoned Wang Zhen!

"Jinyiwei Envoy Wang Zhen pays respect to His Majesty!"

That's right, Wang Zhen has now been upgraded to the Commander of the Imperial Guard!
Zhu Di asked: "Are you aware of the fact that Han Xi and others at Jiangjunshan Medical College were experimenting with bovine smallpox to treat human smallpox?"

Wang Zhen was shocked and quickly handed over his hand.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Dr. Han Liang and his colleagues started experimenting with this matter the year before last.

At that time, they wanted to use death row prisoners for testing, and His Majesty agreed.

Weichen sent people to pay attention to it for a while, and after finding that there was no problem, we stopped paying special attention to it! "

"Ok!"

Zhu Di nodded slightly.

"They succeeded!"

"Success...!!?"

Wang Zhen was startled, then raised his head sharply and looked at Zhu Di with disbelief.

"Your Majesty is saying that Dr. Han Liang and others succeeded? The incurable smallpox epidemic can actually be cured?"

"Ok!"

Zhu Di nodded slowly.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. It would be a dereliction of duty for a minister to find out about such a major matter at a later date!"

"You should reflect on this matter!"

Zhu Di said lightly, and then said again: "Now, order someone to check this matter carefully.

Send people to follow Han Liangyi and the others, and don't let anyone disturb them!
In addition, check again to see if after giving Niu Tianhua to someone, that person will have any other discomforts and symptoms! "

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Wang Zhen responded quickly, "Wei Chen will take it personally!"

After walking out of the palace, Wang Zhen was filled with excitement.

Old man Han Shi actually developed a miracle medicine to treat smallpox. It was not in vain that he sent so many death row prisoners to that old man!
If anyone dares to disturb him, he Wang Zhen will definitely make that person look good!

Back at the Jinyiwei Yamen, Wang Zhen personally selected a group of confidants and told them about Han Shi. Everyone was filled with excitement.

Immediately, he followed Wang Zhen and headed towards the medical school aggressively!
