Even if there are not many people infected with the epidemic now, the entire half of the Beijing division is almost paralyzed.

Almost everyone was closed, and the streets were depressed and cold.

As for smallpox, the legend that more than half of the deaths have been passed down from generation to generation, even in the major camps now, and now they are all in vogue.

Today's Daming capital is extremely fragile, and Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao are fighting horses, on this street, looking at the withering of all industries, it seems that they have also felt the horror of the epidemic.

The two of them went to the noon gate and then entered the palace.

Liu Jian and the others, in the warm pavilion, were sweating, and the matter was more serious than they imagined.

Right now, even a government decree can't be smoothed.

Even if the emperor's will restricts the hundred officials, but what about the servants under the hundred officials?

Even if the servants are submissive, no matter what errands they do, as long as they leave the ministry or the yamen, they will immediately disappear, find a place, and hide, at this time, who dares to swagger around.

As a result, the six departments almost stopped, and the panic continued to breed and spread, making Liu Jian's face like ashes.

Emperor Hongzhi lowered his head and listened to the report from Liu Jian.

He sighed: "It's no wonder that they are not afraid, such a major event of life and death, how can everyone turn a blind eye, even if it is me, aren't you afraid?" The subjects were afraid of smallpox...... How can I blame me? Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand: "Let's go, you don't have to deal with it, all the impeachment reports will be left in the center." ”

Liu Jian smiled helplessly: "The minister obeys the order." There is also a recital......"

Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyes and looked at Liu Jian.

Liu Jian said: "In Beitongzhou, there are people who claim to be the White Lotus Sect, and they suddenly resurrected, giving people talisman water everywhere, and also said that after drinking talisman water, they can not invade all diseases, and there are many followers, and there are tens of thousands of people who gather people, and the government ...... Feudal official...... The bullet can't be suppressed, in fact, it can't be mobilized to play the bullet, Tongzhou Wei ...... Tongzhou Wei was stationed on the outskirts of the city, and it is said that there were quite a few officers and soldiers who were convinced of this heresy......

Emperor Hongzhi frowned.

At this point, he couldn't help but start to become cautious.

After the great plague, there will be human woes. Emperor Hongzhi was more vigilant and aware of this than anyone else.

When people are desperate, if a group of demons take this opportunity to give them hope, then ...... It is bound to make countless desperate people believe in them.

At this time, the government and local officers and soldiers could not protect themselves, where did they dare to suppress them, and even ...... These terrible remarks may also make many military households who are sick and afraid of being infected believe in those demons.

Beitongzhou, from Beijing, is just a stone's throw away, smallpox will spread to Beijing, these rumors, why not?

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Those demons, I didn't expect it to be a resurgence, but ...... Aren't they afraid of smallpox? ”

"These people, most of them are from the south of the Yangtze River, judging from the report, most of them are in the Jingchu area, Your Majesty, four years ago, there was also a smallpox epidemic in the Jingchu area, and the minister is wondering, these demons, is it possible to ...... it?"

Anyone knows that people who have been infected with smallpox once and survived will not be infected with smallpox again, these people are born immune, they can enter and exit Beitongzhou as if they were in a no-man's land, and the countless victims of Beitongzhou have long been like frightened birds, and the appearance of these people has undoubtedly given many people great hope.

Emperor Hongzhi's face turned pale: "Evil words confuse the public, do you really think that there is no royal law?" ”

"The problem now is that there are many local officers and soldiers who collude with them, but the officers and soldiers in other places have already heard of smallpox and changed color, even if His Majesty mobilizes them to go to Beitongzhou to quell the chaos, I am afraid that they will also complain, and when the time comes, it may encourage the arrogance of the demons."

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but sigh: "Could it be that this is my immorality and triggered the punishment of heaven?" ”

He sighed.

But a eunuch hurriedly came: "Your Majesty, the crown prince and the governor Fang Jifan ask to see you." ”

As soon as he heard Fang Jifan's name, Emperor Hongzhi chuckled in his heart and looked at Liu Jian.

"Please come in."

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan had already entered the hall, and Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "Erchen has seen my father. ”

Fang Jifan saluted: "Erchen ...... these days"

Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jifan: "Jifan, didn't you say that there is a cure for smallpox?" ”

"Yes!" Fang Jifan said categorically: "The medicine has been brought, this is not a method to treat smallpox, but a method of epidemic prevention, after vaccination, you can be without fear of smallpox, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been vaccinated." ”

Zhu Houzhao seemed to be afraid that Emperor Hongzhi would not believe it, so he rolled up his sleeves and showed his scabbed arm: "Father, you see, the son-in-law has already had smallpox, in the words of the old man, even if it comes out this time, he will not be afraid of smallpox." ”

After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but say, "Is it really effective? ”

Fang Jifan said: "Is there any effect, after Your Majesty is vaccinated, it is naturally clear that the minister has asked the students of Xishan and all the Zhuang households to be on standby, as long as Your Majesty gives an order, the ministers will order the people in Xishan to immediately start to vaccinate in the streets and alleys." ”

Emperor Hongji took a deep breath.

Liu Jian raised his eyebrows, revealing joy: "Come, let's vaccinate the old man first, and if it is useful, I will inoculate Your Majesty." ”

Zhu Houzhao said: "If you want to pick it up, you can take it together, where is there such verbosity, if the son can receive it, the father will receive it, please rest assured that the father will not die." ”

"......" Emperor Hongzhi was speechless, this guy has a really big heart.

But Emperor Hongzhi was only silent for a moment: "Okay, Jifan, you come." ”

Fang Jifan didn't twist, now he was racing against time, if His Majesty was infected with smallpox before vaccination, it would be a pit.

Therefore, he immediately took out the glass bottle he brought with him, took a long needle, and the long needle was stained with vaccine, and asked Emperor Hongzhi to lift his shirt and lightly prick it on his arm, and the long needle pierced into Emperor Hongzhi's arm, and Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly.

Fang Jifan hated this era, there was no Meitu Xiuxiu, otherwise, this great moment, frozen here, he could be regarded as completing a life achievement, after all, not everyone can prick the emperor with a needle.

Fang Jifan took the needle: "Okay." ”

"That's it?" Emperor Hongzhi frowned.

Originally, I thought that this must be a complicated process, after all...... It's smallpox, such a terrible epidemic, you just downplay it?

Can it be done?

People always believe that complex things can solve complex problems, which also makes many doctors learn to play tricks and things that can be solved in a while, but they have to toss it, so that patients can feel at ease.

Fang Jifan said: "Okay, Your Majesty should observe at any time to see if you can get pox, if it is, this vaccine will be counted, if not, Erchen will get another shot." ”

Seeing that Fang Jifan was sure of what he said, Emperor Hongzhi would be suspicious.

Fang Jifan looked at Liu Jian: "Does Gong Liu want to give it a try?" ”

Liu Jian smiled bitterly: "Come on, come on, the old man will also give it a try." ”

Fang Jifan didn't immediately take out the needle to prick, he is a particular person, unlike those quacks, Fang Jifan took out another bottle, the bottle was alcohol, and put the long needle that had pierced His Majesty into the alcohol to soak it, after cleaning, and then repeated the old trick, holding the silver needle, and wanted to pierce it fiercely.

Liu Jian sighed.

Fang Jifan looked at Liu Jian like an idiot.

"Okay?" Liu Jian looked at Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan said embarrassedly: "Gong Liu, you haven't started to pierce yet." ”

"......" Liu Jian embarrassed: "Hurry up, don't play tricks." ”

Fang Jifan saw it and pricked it with a needle.

In the warm pavilion, there was a howl like killing a pig.

Seem...... People are afraid of injections......

Fang Jifan took the needle and said, "Please Your Majesty and Duke Liu, rest early, and observe at any time, just in case." His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince are here to ask for an edict this time, hoping that His Majesty will issue an order and immediately start a large-scale pox vaccination. ”

Emperor Hongji only hesitated slightly, after all, the effect of this vaccine is still unknown.

But he didn't hesitate immediately: "Order Ouyang Qing's family to draft an edict, and entrust the matter of epidemic prevention to Fang Qing's family." ”

……

The entire West Mountain has begun to move in all directions.

From the gentlemen who taught knowledge, down to the miners and farmers at the bottom, they had all been vaccinated with cowpox a few days ago, and had already begun to train on a large scale how to inoculate them.

The method is very simple, even idiots can learn it, and soon, they began to appear in every corner of the Jingshi, going door to door, and began to plant pox.

The mobilization ability of Xishan Academy is very strong, almost everyone set off with dry food, entered the house, and took the trouble to explain how to prevent smallpox, and then, under the suspicion of people's beliefs, took out cowpox bottles and alcohol bottles, and pricked needles one by one according to the method.

In these streets and alleys, there are children's cries, and the cries are particularly loud.

When the night came, the weary people came back, and each of them brought back a booklet, and the names of the people who were being compiled were recorded, and those who had been planted with pox were ordered to press their handprints, and those who had not planted were to be searched for tomorrow.

In the Jamsil.

Liu Jin's whole body, hot and sweaty, here, finally there was a person with cowpox, began to take care of him, Liu Jin had a high fever, this high fever did not go away, fatigue, headache, he screamed in his mouth, his face was already covered with herpes, which looked extremely terrifying.

Just take care of his medical students, but found a terrible thing, according to the analysis of the condition sorted out by the Western College, smallpox in addition to the above symptoms, there will also be loss of appetite, can ...... This symptom did not appear at all in Liu Jin's body.

Liu Jin even rolled on the hospital bed, screaming: "Hungry, so hungry...... He seemed to fall into a semi-fainting state, and his mouth was slurred: "My rice ball, my rice ball, and ...... Half of the turnips in my bag, my turnips, where did my turnips go? ”

The medical student was so busy that he opened Liu Jin's case record and looked left and right, as if he had seen a ghost.

…………

And also.
