Datang: Ten Years of Proton, Leading an Army of Millions to Return

"Those are the wisdom of past dynasties. It would be better if we just follow the rules."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Wei Zheng took a deep breath. He had already silently played out such a situation several times in his mind. He was a little flustered just now due to the urgency, but now, he gradually calmed down.

"Your Majesty, it is recorded in the Book of Han: Chronicle of Emperor Ping that in the second year of Yuanshi, there were droughts and locusts, and the people were sick and plagued. Empty houses were used to provide medicine. We should also act in the same way. All county towns and villages, including the city of Tanzhou, should be surrounded by heavy troops, and the areas contaminated with smallpox should be sealed off. No people or livestock should be allowed to enter or leave, in order to prevent further outbreaks of smallpox."

"Also, send out the Imperial Medical Bureau and set up a clinic to save the dying and the wounded!"

Wei Zheng shouted in a deep voice.

"Your Majesty, I also request that all the temples and Taoist temples in Chang'an hold a prayer meeting or a ritual to pray for our Tang Dynasty and move the heavens."

"And order every household in Jiangnan Dao to light mugwort and other things to dispel smallpox!"

Pei Ji cupped his hands and said.

Li Shimin looked at the three people and nodded repeatedly.

Everyone agreed with the method they proposed.

Now, Li Shimin knew that he had no right to choose, or rather...
If any of these methods works, we will be thankful.

"Good good!"

"Go prepare, go prepare!"

"It has come to this. There is no other way."

"In addition, I have also ordered the people of Chang'an to light more incense during the New Year. Start lighting incense from now on to drive away evil spirits."

Li Shimin shouted.

The three of them hurriedly accepted the order and retreated in a hurry.

Li Shimin held the letter in his hand.

Shortness of breath.

He watched it again, horrified and confused.

"It's true. It's really true."

"But the Great Yan Emperor and his people are in the north of the Tang Dynasty. How come they knew about smallpox earlier than I did?"

Li Shimin slowly turned around and looked at the letter on the desk.

Eyes, gloomy.

Look, helpless.

He walked over and sat down again.

"Emperor Da Yan, it seems that you are really interested in my Tang Dynasty."

"Everyone knows Sima Zhao's intentions!"

"You can't hide it anymore. You are monitoring our Tang Empire. That's powerful, powerful."

"You are more powerful than me!"

"I admire you. I admire you. I really admire you."

Li Shimin pinched his nose and put the letter from Li Jing in his hand aside.

He looked at the two letters.

"smallpox!"

"Emperor Da Yan, if it were you, how would you handle it?"

"This time, I helped you prevent a disaster."

"I know, Emperor of Great Yan, that you sent me this letter because you were afraid that it would affect Great Yan one day."

"Hahaha."

"So, you are afraid of something too."

Li Shimin's eyes were narrowed into a line.

He was not stupid, he understood the meaning behind this letter.

If he wasn't afraid of the impact on himself, would the Great Yan Emperor be so kind to tell me?
Certainly not
"Huh... If I wasn't afraid, once this smallpox spreads to your Great Yan, only one in ten people in my Great Tang will survive. I would definitely not help you."

After a few breaths, Li Shimin muttered to himself again.

These words are also his true thoughts.

If smallpox had not occurred in Jiangnan Road, he would definitely not have taken it so seriously and would not have been so nervous.

If, if it happened in the north of Guannei Road, such as around Yunzhou City close to Dayan, Li Shimin would be so happy that he wouldn't even have time to react.

Some people even say, God help me!

Then, he did his utmost to add fuel to the fire and put all the blame on Dayan for the smallpox issue.

But, it’s not possible now. Jiangnan Road is the most central location of the Tang Dynasty.

If the imperial court did not intervene here, even if Dayan suffered heavy losses or was destroyed due to smallpox in the end, there would be only one ending for the Tang Dynasty, and that was destruction!
The first to perish will definitely be the Tang Dynasty!
hiss!
Li Shimin took another deep breath and closed his eyes with some pain, fatigue and worry.

He knew that this time, the Tang Dynasty was going to have a really difficult time.

……

Great inflammation.

Yanyun City.

Medical School.

At this moment, Li Kuan was standing in the laboratory, looking at the syringe in his hand.

Inside is the smallpox vaccine!

"Your Majesty, I have already tested this smallpox vaccine."

"Everything was done according to the experiment Your Majesty instructed, and the results can be said to be immediate!"

Li Shizhen stood nearby, staring into those bloodshot eyes, his voice extremely excited.

"Your Majesty, according to the conclusion of the control experiment, after being vaccinated with the smallpox vaccine, you can be almost 100% immune to smallpox infection."

"Even if a patient is currently suffering from smallpox, if he is vaccinated at this time, there will be immediate effects after almost two days."

"Even for those people who are already in extremely difficult situations, there is a good chance that they will save their lives after getting vaccinated."

“Your Majesty, this!!”

"This smallpox vaccine is really... a miracle drug."

"I never expected that smallpox, which had been a scourge for a thousand years and had been dealt with by every dynasty, could be dealt with so easily by Your Majesty."

"Your Majesty, I, I really want to thank Your Majesty on behalf of the people of Dayan, no, no, the people of the entire world, including the people of the Tang Dynasty!!!"

"A doctor's heart is full of compassion. Your Majesty is truly a saint!"

"He is a saint among doctors!"

Although Li Shizhen looked extremely tired, his voice was extremely brisk.

During this period, Dayan Medical College secretly lurked in Jiangnan Road and carried out a series of control and treatment experiments, which thoroughly confirmed the effectiveness of the smallpox vaccine.

no doubt.

Smallpox vaccine is epoch-making, great, and a magical thing that can save millions of people!

Moreover, it is a magical object that can be mass-produced.

"Yes, yes, Your Majesty." "Dean Li is right."

"The effect is immediate, without any delay. Moreover, the promotion of smallpox vaccine to our Daxia medicine is also huge and unimaginable."

Sun Simiao let out a breath and gently placed a vessel under the microscope to one side.

"Your Majesty, I never thought that medicine would be so revolutionary!"

"smallpox!"

"No one in every dynasty has a good way to deal with this."

"In order to control smallpox, many dynasties even killed the people. As long as it could be stopped, it would not be excessive even if everyone was killed."

"But now, Your Majesty, I really don't know what to say."

"During this period of time, the knowledge I have learned is more than what I have learned in my entire life?!"

“This is medical technology, this is the future!”

"Before, our understanding of medicinal materials was too one-sided and too simple."

"Everything in the world is mutually exclusive and complementary."

"Just like cowpox, who would have thought that cows hold the secret to eradicating smallpox."

"These medicinal herbs, Your Majesty, are very old-fashioned. We only know the surface of them now. There are so many animals in nature, and they must have their own functions!"

"Your Majesty, I really want to thank you for opening the way forward for me. Otherwise, I would have been wandering around in front of the real medical door for my whole life but would not be able to enter."

"You will never be able to enter the house in your life!"

Sun Simiao sighed.

His current mood is really indescribable.

The emergence of vaccines!
The role of cowpox!
All of this made his body like a dry sponge, absorbing knowledge madly and rushing towards the road of medicine almost crazily.

Li Shizhen nodded heavily.

He also agreed deeply with what Sun Simiao said.

Li Kuan smiled.

"Get ready."

"Vigorously produce smallpox vaccine."

"We will start with cities one by one. Places with high population density and easy to organize will start vaccination first. Then, we will gradually start vaccination work throughout Da Yan. And if there are any extras, we will give some to Datang."

"The people of the Tang Dynasty, ah... they are also pitiful."

Li Kuan directly ordered: "How is the current production?"

Li Kuan looked at Li Shizhen.

After all, pharmaceutical production is somewhat special. For this industry, Li Kuan did not allocate funds to the Development Group or the Daily Group. Instead, he directly let Li Shizhen, the medical school that represents the highest medical technology in Dayan, take charge.

"Your Majesty! Vaccine production is going very smoothly."

"The daily output can now reach about 30,000. When the new production line is opened in the next two days, the speed will be even faster."

Li Shizhen reported quickly.

Li Kuan nodded and analyzed the situation briefly in his mind.

This speed is not slow.

"If you have anything, go find Principal Guo and he will help you solve it."

"In that case, we already have a lot of smallpox vaccines on hand, so let's start the vaccination."

"Starting from Yanyun City."

Li Kuan said in a deep voice.

Of course, Li Kuan also wanted to start with Quan Dayan, but with the current productivity, it was not enough and could not be done.

Therefore, we can only start from Yanyun City and then slowly expand out.

"It's your Majesty!"

"Minister, the vaccination team has been formed, and the students of the medical school are now able to work on their own."

"However, Your Majesty, do we need to promote this smallpox vaccination?"

"Or, don't tell the people?"

Li Shizhen asked again.

Li Kuan did not hesitate and said directly: "There is no need to hide it."

"You can contact He Shen and publicize the methods of preventing smallpox in the Da Yan Weekly, for example, the importance of washing hands, the importance of ventilation, and if conditions permit, you can use charcoal or something to make a nose protector, etc."

"This thing is not scary."

"Now that we have vaccines, there is no need to be afraid."

Li Kuan smiled.

Upon hearing this, Li Shizhen nodded in agreement.

time flies.

The Spring Festival is tomorrow.

And the vaccination work in Xiadu has finally begun.

At the same time, with the popularization of smallpox in the Dayan Weekly, the people of Dayan all knew that smallpox had appeared in the Tang Dynasty!!!

At this moment, Dayan was a little confused.

However, this chaos only lasted for a short time. The people of Dayan were shocked by the thundering response measures launched by the court, and they were also completely relieved.

"Oh my god! Smallpox! There is smallpox in the Tang Dynasty? Oh my god, what a sin! How can there be smallpox when the New Year is just around the corner?"

"Who said it wasn't? I don't know when smallpox will spread to our Great Yan. I'm so panicked now. I really am. I've read in some ancient books that wherever smallpox spreads, there is no peace. It can be said to be like hell. There is absolutely no cure. However, Your Majesty is really brave. Why didn't you hide this news from us? Why did you announce it like this? Isn't this causing panic among our people?"

"Look at you, you're such a coward! What? Your Majesty has been talking about seeking truth from facts all these years. Could it be that Your Majesty can't seek truth from facts now? Is Your Majesty wrong for not hiding it from us? Bullshit, it's better to make this news public so that everyone will pay attention than for you to be involved in it for no reason."

"That's right, I think you should go back to the Tang Dynasty. Your Majesty is doing the right thing. Moreover, the Great Yan Weekly has published some preventive measures, and it also says that universal vaccination is the only way to completely defeat smallpox. Your Majesty is really thinking about us people, and you are still complaining? If your Majesty doesn't say it, will we not panic? Will the people be able to get through it safely? How is that possible!"

"Ignore him, let's go get vaccinated. I heard that after getting the smallpox vaccine, it's okay to eat hotpot among people with smallpox."

"This... I don't know if you ask me, but the Great Yan Weekly has already said that it is 100% effective in preventing smallpox! Moreover, from His Majesty to the students of the medical school who vaccinated us, they have all been vaccinated. Since His Majesty dares to say so, there must be a reason."

"What are you waiting for? Come on, go and get in line. The nearest vaccination site seems to be at the entrance of the alley in front."

"Smallpox vaccine, I've never heard of this name, and this efficacy, damn, no one in the past dynasties has ever heard of it. Who would have thought that smallpox, which has been feared by all dynasties and regarded as a scourge, could be solved so easily in Da Yan?"

"Honestly, I'm a little dazed right now. I really don't know how your majesty and his team developed the smallpox vaccine. Let's go, stop talking, and get vaccinated!"

"..."

As the Spring Festival approached, the people of Yanyun City walked out of their homes and went to the vaccination sites.

It has to be said that the publicity capacity of Dayan Weekly is enormous.

Within one day, all the people in the city knew about the outbreak of smallpox in the Tang Dynasty.

However, everyone also knew that His Majesty had made a complete decision to deal with smallpox.

At the same time, many sections of the Da Yan Weekly also introduced in detail what smallpox is, how smallpox is transmitted, etc., and also talked about extremely effective prevention methods, and introduced the role of vaccines, what vaccines are, etc.
The people of Dayan saw everything the imperial court did, and naturally, they were no longer so afraid of smallpox.
