Early Ming Dynasty: Turning Clouds and Rains into New Learning Saints

Chapter 23 Can You Talk Well

Smallpox was famous in ancient times and was one of the famous plagues.

"What are you doing?" Zhu Di, as a man, stood up first, stared at Zhang Yifan, and shouted sternly.

Although he was only 16 years old at this time, he had been leading troops for a long time.And as a prince, he was not raised like pigs in later generations, so his anger suddenly had its own power.

If Zhang Yifan had a guilty conscience and wanted to use smallpox to harm others, he would definitely be afraid of Zhu Di's momentum.

However, at this time, Zhang Yifan was magnanimous, so he was not afraid at all. Instead, he smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, this is to save people, not to harm them!"

Can smallpox still save people?

Hearing this, if Zhang Yifan hadn't performed well before, Zhu Di would probably have drawn his sword and slashed him.

In fact, it may be that Zhang Yifan said too many things that surprised them. At this time, they were already a little numb, so they did not overreact.

No, Zhu Jingjing came to her senses and stood up, but instead of facing Zhang Yifan, she shouted to Zhu Di through the princess: "Fourth brother, what are you doing? Can you speak properly?"

Hearing this, Zhu Di had come back to his senses. Thinking about his impression of Zhang Yifan in the past few days, he felt that he had indeed overreacted, so he sat down again, then looked at Zhang Yifan and said seriously: "Smallpox is no child's play. Please make it clear, if you really want to save someone, I will find it for you, how about it?"

The princess did not speak from the beginning to the end, but just looked at the reactions of Zhu Jingjing and Zhu Di, and then turned to Zhang Yifan to listen to what he had to say.

After hearing this, Zhang Yifan said confidently: "I can tell you that smallpox in cattle is not very toxic to humans, so people can take the initiative to infect cows with smallpox and activate the body's immunity to the smallpox virus. Never get smallpox again!”

"what?"

Hearing this, it was like a bolt from the blue that suddenly hit my forehead.The princesses present, Zhu Jingjing and Zhu Di all stood up subconsciously, stared at Zhang Yifan and confirmed loudly.

The movement was so loud that the surrounding guards, even the guards outside, immediately turned their heads to look over.

It's just that they are far away and don't know what happened.I saw Zhang Yifan sitting there neatly, while the Crown Princess, Prince and Princess were all standing there, as if Zhang Yifan had a higher status!
What's happening here?How strange!

Zhang Yifan actually knew why they were so shocked, so he replied seriously: "You heard me right, smallpox is not terrible. You only need to be vaccinated with cowpox to prevent it. You will not get smallpox again in the future!"

This time, they have several ears, so if they keep their ears open, they can hear very clearly.

But the few of them, whether it's Zhu Di or the Crown Princess, are still unbelievable!

You know, plagues like smallpox are like a knife hanging over the heads of ancient people. You don’t know when it will fall.The famous pervert is definitely not an exaggeration at all!

I heard from Zhang Yifan that smallpox can be cured. For them, there is no difference between prevention and cure. That is absolutely earth-shattering news!
Just when Zhu Di was about to ask more questions, Zhu Jingjing said ecstatically: "I believe you, this is really great!"

But this time, the Crown Princess turned serious. Regardless of Zhu Jingjing's statement, she stared at Zhang Yifan and said seriously, "This matter is no small matter. How did you know that smallpox in cattle can cure people?"

If you believe it after hearing it, you are a fool!
As for Zhu Jingjing, she simply ignored it.

After hearing this, Zhang Yifan didn't feel it was difficult to answer, and just said calmly: "You don't need to worry about how I know it. You just need to help me find cows infected with smallpox. I can be the first to vaccinate. You can just watch." ." "Okay, no problem, leave this matter to me!" After hearing this, the Crown Princess stared at him and still spoke seriously.

After she finished speaking, she ordered the maid beside her: "Come on, give him 100 taels of silver."

Wen Po delivered a baby for only a few taels of silver.Giving Zhang Yifan 100 taels of silver is definitely a lot of money.

Then, the Crown Princess turned to look at Zhang Yifan and said: "This is the reward for teaching Wenpo today. If what you said is true, you don't want to be an official, so just tell me what you want, and I will try my best to help you." !”

Zhang Yifan did not refuse, took the 100 taels of Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes, and then said calmly: "Whether it is true or not, you have to wait and see!"

After hearing this, the Crown Princess didn't say much, she just said to her left and right: "It's getting late, it's time to go back!"

She came by carriage, and if she didn't want it to be too bumpy, the speed of the carriage was not much different from walking speed.Liujia Village is thirty miles away from Nanjing City, so it takes almost an hour and a half.

It's already afternoon, and it's probably almost evening when we return to Nanjing!
I really have to go back.

Although Zhu Jingjing was reluctant, she eventually left with the princess.

On Zhu Di's side, although he was fast on horseback, this time he brought Wen Po over in a carriage, so when he saw that the Crown Princess was leaving, he naturally followed her.

The guards and maids actually have no human rights. If the master wants to leave, even if they have not finished their meal, they must leave immediately.

Just like that, the originally lively Liujia Village became quiet all of a sudden.

He was the only one left in Zhang Yifan's yard, with a table of unfinished delicacies.

He didn't go to deliver it and continued to eat.Then the big cow and the two cows also jumped over, laughing and eating the big meal at the table.

Not long after, everyone in the village gathered around Zhang Yifan.This time, Zhang Yifan didn't call them, they just gathered around him.

Today's scene was bigger than the previous two days.Everyone is curious, so naturally they want to inquire.

At the same time, Zhang Yifan actually ate at the same table with these noble people, which impressed them even more, and invisibly increased Zhang Yifan's status in their hearts.

After Zhang Yifan finished eating, he looked at his uncle in the village and immediately announced: "I want to take advantage of the arrival of the rainy season to repair all the houses and roads in our village. I will pay for it, but before that, I have to pay for it." Establish a village community first, I have the final say! The specific articles of association are as follows..."

Upon hearing this, everyone was excited!

No one wants to live in a thatched house, right? Zhang Yifan has to pay for it, and whoever wants to live in a thatched house is a fool!Not to mention, Zhang Yifan had already mentioned this matter early in the morning, and they were all mentally prepared.

As for whether a village community is a village community or not, it doesn’t matter who has the final say. Of course, it’s the rich who have the final say!No matter how young this rich man is!

At the same time, on the way back to the city, the Crown Princess was of course not idle.
