Chapter 151: The Old Lady Doctor Questioned
However, Shen Zhang also knew the sense of proportion, and did not want to visit A-Yuan.
At this time, the sick people who went to visit did not help, but added to the chaos.
How could Shen Zhang not understand this truth.
As the head of the Shen family, he must set an example and not panic.
Bi Yan left Shen Zhang's study, feeling very heavy.
I don't even have much appetite for food.
Although she did not go to the epidemic area to see it herself, she could imagine what it was like.
In such an era when there are few doctors and medicines, unless you suffer from this disease, you will inevitably die in the end.
This Great Mo Dynasty can be said to have been her hard work, and when she thinks of how many people have been killed by this epidemic in the past few days, she feels extremely sad.
After the day's rest, she couldn't sleep at night.
Outside the house, Mo Ziyi and Li Xin'er stood side by side.
"Uncle Li, my mother is so worried, can you help her?" As soon as Mo Ziyi remembered the hard work of his mother's perseverance on horseback these days, and saw that his mother had stayed up all night because of the epidemic in the capital, he couldn't help but ask Li Xin'er, who had great powers.
"Xiaoyi, I can't do anything about this epidemic, I'm sorry." Li Xin'er looked guilty.
Seeing Biyan like this, he couldn't feel distressed.
It's just that he really can't do anything about this large-scale epidemic.
If it were one or two, he could have made an exception by breaking the rules, but it was a whole city.
"I know, Uncle Li, I don't blame you." Mozi said sullenly.
The people in the house tossed and turned. Do not fall asleep.
Outside the house, the two also watched quietly and never left.
The moon sets and the stars are scarce. Birdsong at night.
At dawn, Bi Yan opened her eyes in a daze, and just as she was about to get up, one of the maids who served her ran in happily.
"Miss, miss, the old lady wants to see you, saying that there is good news."
Good news? Bi Yan shook his head for a moment. Immediately take action, hurriedly get dressed and washed.
didn't have time to clean up carefully, so he ran to Shen Zhang.
This time. Good news, could it be that the thing has been found?
As soon as she rushed to the study, she saw Shen Zhang's face full of joy, walking around the room with his hands behind his back. See her come in. Hurriedly said: "Master, the cowpox you said has been found." ”
"Really?"
"Really, news came from the palace early in the morning, saying that I was going to go to the epidemic area to find a patient to try." Shen Zhang was old, felt less, and got up early, and not long after he got up, he received good news from the palace.
"Go to the epidemic area to find someone to try? Then I'm going too. Bi Yan said firmly.
Shen Zhang pondered for a while. Then he said: "It's not impossible for the master to go. It's just that the epidemic area is dangerous, and the master must not act rashly. ”
"Don't worry. I'm very sorry for my life, and I know all the things to pay attention to, just to see the effect of cowpox. ”
"In this case, the subordinates should go with the master, otherwise, the epidemic area will not let people approach at will."
"Alright, let's go."
With that, the two of them made a little preparation, then left the Shen Mansion and took a carriage to the epidemic area.
On the way, Biyan lifted the curtain and looked outside.
Pedestrians are scarce.
The shop is closed.
A scene of depression.
Who would have thought that this was the prosperous capital of the past.
As I passed by some people's homes, there was a faint sound of crying.
Bi Yan listened to this cry, and she was very worried.
Whether it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster, it is always ordinary people who suffer the most.
Hey, this will not change no matter what dynasty or generation.
Bi Yan looked at the scene outside, and her expression became even more depressed.
"Don't worry about the master, haven't you already found cowpox?" Shen Zhang said in a low voice.
Yes, the cowpox was found, and Biyan's mood improved a little because of this.
The epidemic area where the sick are concentrated will naturally not be in a place that is too prosperous, or in a remote place.
Therefore, the carriage also traveled for a short time before it came to a short distance from the epidemic area.
Before he could point to the gate of the epidemic area, he was stopped by soldiers who had set up barricades.
"The epidemic area ahead is important, and you are not allowed to enter."
Shen Kuan whispered into the carriage and asked, "Master, what should I do?" ”
Shen Zhang poked his head out of the carriage, looked at the situation ahead, took out a sign from his waist, and handed it to Shen Kuan.
Shen Kuan showed the sign to the soldier, and the soldier hurriedly asked people to move the barricade.
The carriage was on its way again.
Shen Zhang said to Bi Yan: "It's good that I was prepared, otherwise I would have to return in vain." ”
The grandfather who came to try cowpox inoculation this time was escorted by Mo Ziting.
The target is those who live in the affected areas but are not yet infected.
Not long after Mo Ziting and the Imperial Physician arrived, they listened to the report of their subordinates. "Report to the prince, Old Lady Shen and the third lady of the Shen family are here."
Mo Ziting was only slightly surprised, and then ordered, "Quickly invite the two of you in." ”
"Yes."
"The girl who told me how to prevent contagion with cowpox vaccination?" An old lady who was preparing tools looked up and asked.
Yesterday, Lord Shen entered the palace to offer advice to Emperor Moqing, saying that there was a way to save the epidemic.
Emperor Moqing ordered the imperial doctor of the Imperial Physician Department to secretly look for "cowpox".
Now that I've found it, I'm here to try.
I am still skeptical about this "cowpox: inoculation method", but there is no better way to do it at the moment, so I can only give it a try.
But when he learned that this method was proposed by a young lady from the boudoir, the old lady was surprised, and became even more skeptical about the usefulness of this method.
Now that I heard that the master of the method had arrived, I was naturally very interested.
"Yes, Imperial Doctor Wen." Mo Ziting replied.
As soon as the words fell, Bi Yan and Shen Zhang came in.
"The old minister has seen the prince."
"The courtiers have seen the son."
"Please."
The old lady Wen stared at Bi Yan intently.
It's really a big age gap, and the old lady's eyes don't mean that way, otherwise, Shen Zhang couldn't help but open his mouth to reprimand.
"You came up with the cowpox inoculation method?" The old lady asked politely.
Seeing that Bi Yan was so old, he felt that His Majesty easily believed what this girl said was a little rash, this is not a joke with human life.
I couldn't help but get angry.
Bi Yan nodded with a smile and replied, "It's what the little girl said." ”
"Okay, how do you get this cowpox vaccination?"
Biyan had been prepared for this for a long time, so naturally she would not be speechless.
"There are two methods of vaccinia inoculation, one is called the dry seedling method, that is, the cowpox scab is ground very finely, placed at one end of the root canal of the curved neck, and blown into the nostrils to achieve the purpose of smallpox prevention.
Another method is called the water seedling method, take 20-30 acne scabs, grind them into fine powder, and three or five drops of purified water or human milk, mix thoroughly, and spread thin slices with new cotton. Wrap the acne seedlings inside, pinch them into a jujube kernel like, tie them with thread, stuff them into the nostrils, take them out after six hours, and see the pox on the seventh day, which is a successful pox.
