The best old woman is too fierce, stepping on her ex-husband and beating up her traitorous son!

If you catch smallpox, you will almost die.

Even those who were lucky enough to survive would either be weak and need long-term recuperation, or their faces would be covered in pockmarks.

So the head of the Liu family and the surrounding village chiefs came over to discuss whether they could also be vaccinated.

Li Changan explained, "As long as you are voluntarily vaccinated, you can do it, but your age is limited. Children are over one year old, and adults cannot be over fifty."

"If you are over [-] and want to be vaccinated, your recovery may be slower due to your physical weakness. By the way, people who are sick cannot be vaccinated."

Patriarch Liu smiled and said, "I am already seventy, so I can do whatever I want without vaccination."

In this way, Li Changan was responsible for vaccinating the villagers around Lihua Village.

Doctor Liu was in the Dongshan military camp, inoculating the soldiers in batches.

Once I'm done here, I'll start moving to other places.

Everything is voluntary.

Liu Zicheng had never been infected with smallpox, so he was a little worried.

"Gongsun, can that vaccination really prevent smallpox?"

Gongsun Lian smiled, "I've been vaccinated anyway!"

Liu Zicheng was suspicious, "You didn't lie to me?"

Gongsun Lian shrugged and said with a smile: "It's okay if you don't get vaccinated. Anyway, if others are vaccinated, smallpox cannot be transmitted, and you have less chance of catching smallpox."

Liu Zicheng hesitated, "It's just less, but it's not eliminated."

Seeing Liu Zicheng's fear of death, Gongsun Lian couldn't help but sneer, "The capital must have sent you a letter. Are you so scared? Where is the general? If you let the soldiers below see it, can they believe that you can manage it?" Is it good to visit Xiguan?"

Liu Zicheng said forcefully, "That's different. To manage the army, all I need to do is know people and make good use of them, but the smallpox virus doesn't care if I'm smart or not, and it won't stop looking for me just because I'm handsome!"

"Since you know everything, why are you still chirping?" Gongsun Lian was scornful. No wonder people say that good people don't pay with their lives, and bad people die for thousands of years. The main reason is that bad people are afraid of death and always take precautions.

Liu Zicheng didn't care about Gongsun Lian's ridicule, "You don't understand, a gentleman doesn't stand behind a dangerous wall. The status I have today is the result of my caution."

Liu Zicheng was still worried about leaving Gongsun Lian.

After confirming that none of his concubines had contracted smallpox, he decisively asked Li Changan to inoculate several of his concubines with cowpox.

Indeed, as Li Changan said, he only had a fever for two days and then recovered.

Symptoms are much milder than those of smallpox.

Liu Zicheng was relieved to be vaccinated and even invited the best doctor in the city to his home.

Liu Zicheng himself pays attention to self-cultivation, and he also practices some martial arts.

Others have a fever for two to three days, but he has a fever for one day and is active and active.

Liu Zicheng came to Gongsun Lian proudly and said, "Gongsun, you are right, the symptoms of this thing are very mild."

"This guy Li Changan is really lucky. He can become famous in history by following Divine Doctor Liu."

Gongsun Lian smiled and said, "Haha, you are already famous in history."

Liu Zicheng looked wary, "Brother Gongsun, what do you mean?"

"Shuo Shuo Shu!" Gongsun Lian chuckled, "Doesn't it sound good?" When Liu Zicheng heard this, he immediately became angry, "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I become greedy for money? Do you have evidence?"

Gongsun Lian smiled half-heartedly and looked at Liu Zicheng, "What do you think?"

Liu Zicheng glared at Gongsun Lian, "Why do you think you are so annoying? When I was in the capital, I went to pay my respects to your old lady, and you treat me like this?"

"Besides, my Liu family has money, and that's because our Liu family has a good way to get it. Your Gongsun family's money is less than our Liu family's?"

"You used to be alone and not afraid of anything. Now that you have concerns, why don't you keep a low profile? If you are so arrogant, aren't you afraid of causing trouble to the people you care about?"

Gongsun Lian chuckled, "Are you threatening me?"

When Liu Zicheng saw Gongsun Lianpi's smiling face, he felt particularly disgusted. "The government will blame you. You will not end well in the future."

"Are you talking about yourself?" Gongsun Lian asked back, "Your Liu family already has so much money, what else do you want to do with so much money? Even if you want to plan for your grandson, you have to wait until you have a grandson!" "

"Otherwise you have so much money and so much power, you will definitely be the target of several princes. If you can bet correctly, the Liu family can continue to prosper for a few years. But if you are not right, then what awaits you, Do you know what it is?”

Liu Zicheng's complexion changed drastically and he remained silent for a long time.

After a while, he sat down and said, "Brother Gongsun, who do you think is likely to climb Dabao?"

"I don't know!" Gongsun Lian didn't want to tell Liu Zicheng this, "I just hope you won't do anything in Zhenxiguan! Of course, if you want to do legitimate business, I won't stop you."

"You..." Liu Zicheng glared angrily. He originally thought that Gongsun Lian would say something, but he just piqued his interest and stopped saying, "Brother Gongsun, you are so annoying."

Gongsun Lian smiled and said, "Haha, yes, I have never been lovable! You are lovable, but how many of us can we really be friends with?"

"But they are all villains who can add to the cake and follow the crowd. When you need help in times of trouble, if you can't wait for the charcoal to keep you warm, you will only add insult to injury."

Liu Zicheng was silent!

He thought about it carefully, and it seemed like it was true!
"Okay, you succeeded in convincing me today."

"What business do you want to do with me next?"

Gongsun Lian smiled and said, "I don't want to do business with you, but I want to pave an extra road for your Liu family."

Liu Zicheng squinted his eyes, said nothing, and thought carefully, "You want to cooperate with me?"

"Cooperation is out of the question. It remains the same on the surface. We even slander His Majesty. But privately, you are in Zhenxiguan. Don't touch the interests of the soldiers and maintain the stability of Zhenxiguan. That's enough."

"As long as Zhenxi Pass is in our hands, no matter which prince ascends the throne in the future, he will win over us in many ways. After all, we are protecting the border gate and the millions of people living there, and guarding the country's gates."

Liu Zicheng stroked his beard and said, "Okay, then I won't replace the generals who are close to the Huo family, let alone use any money in the army."

The reason why he agreed so readily was because Gongsun Lian hit the key point of the Liu family's current situation.

He wants to leave a way for the Liu family to survive!
If I really can’t survive in the capital in the future, I can still come to Zhenxiguan!
He and Gongsun Lian disliked each other, but that was a matter of literati's contempt for each other, and they really didn't do anything cruel to each other!

Gongsun Lian also breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good. In fact, there are many opportunities to make money in Zhenxiguan, so you don't have to worry about running out of money."

"What kind of connections do you have?" Liu Zicheng asked, "Mrs. Li heard that they weave good carpets. Can you sell me some?"

"Then you send someone to discuss business with Mrs. Li, I don't care about that." Gongsun Lian did not stop Liu Zicheng's men from doing business alone, as long as it was legitimate.

Liu Zicheng smiled and said, "I won't have a bath tomorrow. I just happened to take my servant to Lihua Village to visit."

When he heard that Liu Zicheng was going, Gongsun Lian squinted his eyes and looked at Liu Zicheng's handsome face. He was also going to Lihua Village tomorrow. (End of chapter)
