Chapter 198 Inoculation Test
"It's time for Daoist, I don't know what's going on in Weinan now?"

After welcoming Li Chunfeng at the mouth, Sun Xiangfu took the lead to check the cowpox on these cows, and found that there was some growth around the genitals, so he felt a little disappointed. There were too few cowpox for the whole Guanzhong.

However, it is rare for Li Chunfeng to dare to go to the epidemic area to take these cows out without being vaccinated. There is not enough vaccinia, and there is no way.

"A lot of people died, but not all of them died of smallpox. In the final analysis, it was a man-made disaster. Because the corpses were not properly disposed of in the early stage, several kinds of epidemics spread. The Daoist Sun has a cure, so it can be regarded as under control. Only this smallpox has no solution!" Li Chunfeng said with a grim expression.

"Man-made disaster?"

"That's right, someone wanted to take advantage of the severe drought in Guanzhong to cause trouble. Hearing that smallpox patients appeared in Weinan County, some rebels wanted to spread it to harm people. If the patients refused, the rebels killed people and spread rumors to create panic. , and the corpses of the civilians killed by the rebels were not buried, and the corpses rotted very quickly in this hot weather, which eventually led to the spread of the disease. Currently, at least thousands of people have fallen ill and died.”

Li Chunfeng explained the actual situation in Weinan County.

"Who is so mad?" Hearing this, the anger that was suppressed by Sun Xiangfu in the past two days surged out again, and the knuckles of his clenched fists turned white.

"Neighborhood King Li Xiaochang."

This is a character who should have been reversed at the end of last year in history. However, because Sun Xiangfu played tricks on Li Shimin to organize a military parade, he died down. But this year, he found another excellent opportunity.

There was a severe drought in Guanzhong, the people were in panic all day long, and the army of the Tang Dynasty was unstable. However, Lizhou, which Li Xiaochang was in charge of, was located at the junction of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and was not affected by the disaster. General Liu Deyu of Youwuwei and Sun Anye, Chief of the Supervisory Gate, launched an attack at this critical moment, almost catching Li Shimin off guard.

However, Li Shimin was not a vegetarian either. He secretly took down Liu Deyu and Changsun Anye without trying to scare the snake away, and deliberately pretended to be overwhelmed. The patrol team led Li Xiaochang to attack. When Sun Xiangfu wanted to tear Li Xiaochang to pieces, those patrol teams that were dispersed by Li Shimin and assigned to various states and counties had already received Li Shimin's secret order, and quietly assembled in Li Xiaochang's back road, preparing to fight with Li Xiaochang. The Flying Cavalry Army and other ace troops in Chang'an City attacked from all sides, and Li Xiaochang made dumplings.

Of course, things are not as simple as that. Li Xiaochang’s rebellion was promoted by aristocratic families, and even the tragedy in Guanzhong was created by the aristocratic families. The situation in Chang’an last year was actually good. There is no problem until the autumn harvest. However, there are still more than two months before the autumn harvest. Why are there so many hungry people asking for help along the road?

These people are the tenants and serfs of the aristocratic family. They were driven out by their own patriarch withholding food, in order to force the imperial court to provide relief.

For these people, Li Shimin's rescue was a waste of national power, but it allowed those aristocratic families to seek benefits from it.If he didn't save him, he couldn't bear it, so he decided to grit his teeth and delay for a few days until he settled Li Xiaochang's matter.

Therefore, more than [-]% of the victims in Xingfu Village during this period of relief were serfs raised by those aristocratic families. Although many people died in Guanzhong, the people who were actually in charge of the household registration by the imperial court did not die that many.

But this account, Li Shimin has to settle with those aristocratic families. Of course, Sun Xiangfu has no control over how to calculate it. The most troublesome problem for Li Shimin has always been the problem of the plague. If Sun Xiangfu really helped solve the plague, What he gave Sun Xiangfu in return was more than just pardoning him for his rudeness.

Regarding how to vaccinate against vaccinia, Sun Xiangfu deliberately kept it a mystery. This thing can become a great weapon for Li Shimin to fight back against the aristocratic family. Don't you like to make money when the country is in trouble, so let you taste the evil results of your own planting.

Of course, this was just Sun Xiangfu's immature idea at the moment, and it was okay to seek some benefits. If he really wanted to use the plague to retaliate against them, the result might be revenge on the entire Tang Dynasty.

Sun Xiangfu and Li Chunfeng were the only people in the first batch of vaccinia vaccinations. After all, Sun Xiangfu had read about this thing from some novels of later generations, and he knew that the novels were generally not very reliable.For the sake of safety, they isolated themselves in a closed space. If something happened, the guards would burn the place where they were and their bodies with fire.

"Daozhang, do you feel feverish and weak?"

"It's a little bit, are we infected with smallpox?"

"Well, it's because the smallpox virus is working in our bodies. As long as the first few days of resistance have passed, antibodies will be produced in our bodies, and we will no longer be afraid of smallpox disease in the future."

Sun Xiangfu, who also had a low-grade fever, was talking to Li Chunfeng, and at the same time placed the things taken out of the cowpox into glass containers on the table. Yes, the artisans of Xingfu Village had burned out the glass with sand, but Now it is still colored glass with impurities, and it is not completely transparent, so it can only be used to make some beautiful containers or decorations, such as the bottle with a sealed threaded mouth like the one in Sun Xiangfu's hand, which is good for holding cowpox juice.

Li Chunfeng saw Sun Xiangfu's entire vaccination process in his eyes. In fact, he basically didn't need to remember it. It was very simple. He took the liquid from the vaccinia, cut his own skin, and applied the liquid on the wound. Almost done.

However, it is because of its simplicity that it is dangerous. Li Chunfeng never thought that doing so would make people no longer afraid of the terrible plague of smallpox. He was even more puzzled by the seemingly inborn ability, and now he guessed that Sun Xiangfu's understanding and application of the microcosm was much better than his own.

"Actually, there is still a chance of curing smallpox in the early stage. If the smallpox is inoculated into the body of the early infected person in time, they have a [-]% chance of surviving, but there may be many spots on their body..."

"Have a chance to be saved? Where did you learn this?"

"Uh, I read it in a lost medical book, and I don't know if it's true. What, the horror of smallpox lies in its terrifying contagion. Everything that a smallpox patient has used or touched should be used Burning with fire, buried deep..."

Taking the novels read by later generations as medical skills, if Li Chunfeng knew the truth, he would be choked to death by the pus in his mouth, but ignorance is bliss, and now he is listening to what Sun Xiangfu said as a peerless secret.

Just when Sun Xiangfu and Li Chunfeng were finishing the work of removing acne, and chatting with each other about some precautions for smallpox prevention, Li Shimin in military uniform came to Xingfu Village for the first time. Before he could cover his ears, he was wiped out, and he came to Xingfu Village without going back to the palace to count the casualties.

After entering the village, Li Shimin was a little surprised by everything he saw. This is not like a village, and the environment is not worse than Chang'an City!
The reason why he has this feeling is because all the facilities here are planned buildings, even if tens of thousands of people squeeze in, they don't look disorganized.

Moreover, there are no locusts flying all over the sky like other places in Guanzhong. People with a big agricultural character written on their chests and backs are the maintainers of order here. Under their command, the victims have food, water, and toilets. strict regulations.

This place is not like a refugee concentration camp, but more like a well-managed military camp. If he didn't know that these people gathered here one after another after the drought broke out, Li Shimin would have thought that Sun Xiangfu gathered these people to plot evil.

"Stop coming, this is a forbidden area."

"Forbidden places? There are really not many places in this world where I am prohibited from entering or leaving."

After wandering all the way, Li Shimin finally came to a rare green place in Xingfu Village. This is an area near the dam. Normally, there are no people living here. Now, a few wooden houses have been temporarily built. The guards guarded him layer by layer. It was precisely because of these guards that Li Shimin knew that Sun Xiangfu might be here.

　The sixth is dedicated, thanks to all friends who voted for recommendations and monthly tickets, I will sleep first and continue at night.
