Governor Peng went to Lengyan Town with officials and documents, and did not return to the city for two days, where he commanded the local county commanders and officials to carry out the prevention and control of smallpox plague.

Su Chen now goes out wearing a homemade mask, and then wears a hat with a gauze curtain on the edge of the hat, which acts as a protective clothing to isolate viruses and bacteria.

He went to the prefect's yamen twice, but he didn't find that the prefect had returned, so he was a little anxious, so he sent his family to go outside the city with a mask to inquire about the situation.

However, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and the news of smallpox gradually spread, causing a riot in Runzhou City.

On this day, Xu Qingwan and Zhou Jiamin came to Su's house, their expressions were obviously worried, and they mentioned the plague disaster outside the city to Su Chen.

"Yixuan, the big thing is not good, the natural disaster has come, the smallpox plague has occurred in Lengyan Town, twenty miles outside the south city, and there are people infected in several surrounding villages, and it has spread to Dantu Town to the south, and Runzhou City to the north, I am afraid that there will be infected people in the past two days, without knowing that they are sick, they will come into the city, enter and exit the restaurant and tea shop, or the Chengfang grass market, the land of fireworks, etc., then the city has become unsafe." Xu Qingwan explained the current situation to him.

"I didn't expect it to be so severe." Su Chen frowned, finding that the momentum was a little out of control.

Peng Jingqing worried: "Has my father returned to the city?" ”

Xu Qingwan shook her head and said: "I heard that in order to control the plague disaster, the prefect personally commanded and dispatched in the front, blocked the villages and towns, strictly guarded the intersections, and prevented the people there from escaping, but the panic of smallpox has caused the people to get out of control, so the situation outside the city is very chaotic, and many people are in groups in groups, crying to leave the plague village, and there is a conflict with the fast arresters." ”

Peng Jingqing's face was a little gloomy, and he even looked anxious, obviously worried about his father's safety.

The plague was almost insolvable in ancient times, and it would spread in large areas, and everywhere it passed, ten rooms and nine empty places, corpses were everywhere, and no one collected them, which was too tragic and desolate.

Moreover, it kills people invisibly, and often makes the ancients feel even more terrifying about the invisible enemy.

Zhou Jiamin looked at Su Chen with light and said: "Brother Su, Jiamin plans to go back to Jinling City first to avoid the plague, and Sister Xu will also go with me, do you want to go on the road and go to Jinling City, you can live in my Zhou Mansion." ”

"You want to go back to Jinling?" Su Chen was taken aback, and seemed to be more shocked than when he heard the news of smallpox.

The first thought he thought of was that Zhou Jiamin must not be allowed to return to Jinling City!

Because once Zhou Jiamin returns to Jinling, she will inevitably enter the palace to visit her sister Da Zhou, and when Li Yu sees such a delicate little sister-in-law, she must start from her heart, and it is too easy to impress a fourteen-year-old ignorant girl with the charm and poetic talent of other countries.

Then the historical trend will be difficult to reverse, and the plans of himself and Han Xizai and others will all fail.

In addition to the national fortunes of the Southern Tang Dynasty, it is also related to the future safety of the Su family and the Bai family, and Su Chen has to pay attention to it.

"Don't go!" Su Chen suddenly shouted.

Zhou Jiamin, Xu Qingwan and other women were stunned, and they didn't know why Su Chen was so excited. Book 6 bar

Peng Jingqing looked at him suspiciously, thinking that he cared about Zhou Jiamin so much, he wouldn't like her, right?

Zhou Jiamin was also a little embarrassed, slightly shy, and said timidly: "Brother Su, why are you ...... Don't let me go? ”

Su Chen calmed down and said: "It's already unsafe outside the city, the homeless people are scattered, and it is easy to be dangerous on the way, and I don't know which one carries the smallpox virus, so it's not wise to rush out of the city." Besides, Jinling City is only one hundred and fifty miles away from Runzhou City, and the incubation period of smallpox is half a month, if Runzhou City is not safe, then Jinling City in the south is also dangerous, and there may be many business travelers and people with smallpox virus in their bodies, and there will be a risk of infection when they go to Jinling. ”

The second daughter was stunned when she heard this, and glanced at each other, obviously not thinking about it so much, and was chewing on the meaning of his words at this time, whether it made sense.

Su Chen continued: "Moreover, there is no safer place than staying by my side, because for this smallpox plague, I happened to find a page of scattered secret recipes in an ancient medical book of my Su family, which was obtained from the thick paper layer on the last page, and it is estimated that even my grandfather and father did not see it, and there was a secret method for preventing and controlling smallpox. ”

When Xu Qingwan and Zhou Jiamin heard Su Chen say so mysterious, they immediately believed it, because the more mysterious it is, the more mysterious it is, the more it can match the thousand-year-old problem of treating smallpox, if there are prescriptions written everywhere in the book, it will not make people believe it.

"With such a thing, can smallpox really be prevented, and what is the reason?" Xu Qingwan showed a strong interest, and at this time, she did not forget the spirit of academic discussion.

Su Chen said: "There is a reason, it is relatively troublesome to explain, and I am thinking about how to implement it, and I can't answer so many questions from Miss Xu for the time being, just wait for the real effect, and I will talk to you in detail." ”

Xu Qingwan nodded and said, "Well, that's fine!" ”

Zhou Jiamin reacted and said in surprise: "Brother Su, if you can treat smallpox, wouldn't it be immeasurably meritorious, and you can save hundreds of people in the world according to medicine." ”

"With this method, smallpox can indeed be prevented and the world will no longer be ravaged." Su Chen nodded and said.

Xu Qingwan sighed: "If this is the case, the people of the Tang Kingdom will be grateful for Yi Xuan's merits!" ”

Su Chen thought to himself that cowpox treatment for smallpox has been scientifically proven, as long as he popularizes it, whether it is the people of the Southern Tang Dynasty, or the Northern Song Dynasty, the Southern Han Dynasty, the Yue Kingdom, Dali, and even the exotic land of Fanbang, it will spread, and the people who will benefit more than 10 million people will really be a meritorious thing.

"Self-cultivation Qi family rules the country and the world, this is the criterion of scholars, my life, I should keep it in mind!" Su Chen smiled slightly, said modestly, and said to the second daughter: "Now you can rest assured, stay in Runzhou City, I will vaccinate you, you can prevent smallpox, and you will not be afraid of smallpox disasters in the future." ”

"What is a vaccine?" Xu Qingwan has given full play to her true nature of being a talented woman seeking knowledge again.

Su Chen explained: "It is a secret recipe that can prevent smallpox, and if it enters the human body, you will not be afraid of smallpox disease for life." ”

Xu Qingwan nodded and said suddenly: "I see!" ”

Zhou Jiamin smiled, a faint dimple appeared on his cheeks, and said with a smile: "Brother Su still has a way, even smallpox can be prevented, then I must stay in Runzhou honestly and don't risk going back to Jinling." ”

When Su Chen heard this, he was relieved to see that the persuasion was successful, and comforted: "That's right, the smallpox outbreak is long, the incubation period is long, the business travel and the people are flowing, and the surrounding cities and towns are not safe, our Runzhou must be the first place to be vaccinated against smallpox, it is safer to stay, I will protect you!" ”
