[Happy Mid-Autumn Festival, ask for tickets]

"Yes, cowpox."

"Cows get pox, too?"

"Cows also eat whole grains, and diseases that people can have will naturally arise, so why can't they get pox?"

While answering the question, Xu Xuance had to sigh that even a noble person in a high position now lacks the most basic biological understanding, but in this way, there is indeed a lot to be done in the popularization of science.

"In fact, when he was still in practice, the medical officer of the imperial court has been experimenting with the method of eliminating poison and pox, and he also has some eyebrows in it, and then he came to Borneo and saw a strange thing, so he understood." A crisp voice followed Xu Xuance as he spoke.

If you say strange things, Huang Shunzhi will only think that this thing is the strangest now, there is actually a female official in the Department of Health and Welfare of the Song Dynasty, and looking at the entire Economic Strategy Division, there are many female heads, just take the newspaper once said that the new Xiong Fuzun of Kota Kinabalu in the north is an out-and-out woman, Huang Shunzhi has never read in the history books that there was a female emperor in the Song Dynasty, let alone a woman as an official, is it in the south these years, the rules have been changed?

I just want to think about it, if you should ask, you still have to ask, "The villain read the "Xinhua Daily" a few days ago and said that this anti-poison pox method was a prescription handed down by Sun Zhenren, the king of medicine? ”

The newspapers also hyped up the method of planting pox, and in order to establish orthodoxy, it was inevitable to write some legendary lace. One of them said that this method of eliminating poison and pox was first handed down by Sun Simiao, the medicine king of the Tang Dynasty, but the article also said that Sun Zhenren mostly did this to test the world, so there was a Song Dynasty, and the medical officers were looking for ways to improve, and they did not dare to easily apply this method to others, so as not to damage Yin morality.

But since the Southern Crossing of the Great Song Dynasty, I heard that there are still people on the mainland who have passed on the method, called saving people, but in fact it is harmful, and judging from the intermittent news collation, there is no systematic application of this law, not to mention that after this improvement has reached the level of safe implementation, if what the newspaper says is true, then it is really necessary to say that the Great Song Dynasty loves the people and deserves the word "good health".

Xu Xuance listened and replied: "If you want to say that I have thought of a lot of ways after the great Song Nandu, but I still can't do it properly, I can not only destroy the toxicity of acne, but also don't need to test human life, until I recently arrived in Borneo and found a strange thing." ”

"Oh? What wonders? Huang Shunzhi is interested again, he has long forgotten the logical loopholes in Xu Jingluo's words, the good method that the Great Song Dynasty has not found in the four hundred years of Nandu, and it will be there as soon as he arrives in Borneo? But driven by curiosity, this small omission is insignificant.

Xu Xuance was not in a hurry, took a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and then said again.

"Presumably, the generals know that at this time, the natives who used to pan for gold in the south of the Gota Yang River will transport gold and barbarian products from further afield into the city of Brunei."

"There are few Nanyang horses, and some of them are sent to the city for the nobles to play polo, but there are few for pulling carts."

"Ox carts are used to transport goods by land."

"A few days ago, the household department arranged for a group of naturalized people to go to Keda Township in the south, and when they went through quarantine, they found that there was a strange thing in the local cattle breeders."

"Oh? What is the wonder? The brothers craned their necks.

"Bai Tiju of the Taiyi Bureau found that the children of these cattle breeders rarely get acne, which is at least 60% lower than that of ordinary people."

"After a careful inspection, I found that the children of these families had been exposed to cowpox."

Huang Shunzhi chewed these words carefully, and said to himself: "I didn't expect cows to have acne too, but I had never heard of it before." ”

Zhong Ling on the side said with a smile: "It's not that I haven't heard of it, but this cow rarely dies because of acne, so no one pays attention to it." ”

"This cowpox doesn't kill people?" Huang Shunzhi is still puzzled, but the meaning is still understood, and I am afraid that it is generally because the cow does not die from acne, so it is not easy to be discovered.

Zhong Ling continued to explain, "If cowpox is born in a human body, it will also kill a person, but if it is born in a cow's body, most of the toxicity in the pox will be removed, and then if you come into contact with it, it will have the effect of eliminating the pox epidemic, but you don't have to worry about dying because of it." ”

The principle of the pox immunization method has been publicized in the newspapers since yesterday, and now it is well known, and there is no need to say more.

"The same pox, if you are born in a human body, you will die, but if you are born in a cow, you will not, why is that? I don't know if the two generals have thought about it. ”

Xu Xuance inspired the Huang family brothers, and gradually became a little proud.

Huang Shunzhi asked cautiously: "The villains are dull, and they still want to be taught." ”

Xu Xuance said with a smile: "Actually, most of the generals have thought of it in their hearts, it doesn't hurt to talk about it, judging from the situation of cowpox, combined with the medicine king's recipe for eliminating poison and planting pox, you can figure it out." ”

Huang Shunzhi: "But is it because cows are stronger than people? ”

Zhong Ling answered: "Bai Tiju also said so, cattle are much stronger than people, so it is also a method of eliminating poison and pox, people have to cycle several times to pull out the toxins in acne, and cattle are only used once, and it is not obvious, just a mild disease, if it is not sent carefully, it will not be noticed." ”

"I see."

After hearing this, the brothers of the Huang family breathed a deep sigh, and sure enough, there was a better way, fortunately, it was not a prisoner of war, otherwise it would inevitably not be the turn of the Huang family in the future.

In fact, what Zhong Ling said was just a routine, among the gentlemen in the Senate, one is counted as one, all of them have been vaccinated with pox, not only smallpox, but also other vaccines. Otherwise, judging from the situation of more than two months, the epidemic alone will have to kill many veterans.

After listening to Huang Shunzhi's exclamation, Xu Xuance took out another box.

"These volumes are all about the epidemic and disaster prevention methods in Nanyang, in addition to pox epidemic, malaria, bloating and other diseases, all of which are discussed in detail. In addition, floods, droughts, and locust plagues are also involved. ”

"Really?" This time it was Huang Shunqing, who had been listening from the sidelines, exclaimed, although Huang Shunzhi did not lose his temper, but the hands that took the book also shook slightly, and everyone knew what this book meant.

In the land of the South Seas, the reason why witchcraft is prevalent is because of this. Most of these high-ranking nobles also know the ghosts and gods that cannot be told everything, but most of the people below are fools and foolish women, not to mention that even they themselves can't explain the truth of all things in nature. But the chiefs compiled these things into a book, which means that as long as they are proficient in the content of the book, they can in turn establish their own reputation among the people, and the Huang family can also do what the leaders can do.

Xu Xuance did not hide it, and said indifferently: "Naturally, although these are the secret methods of the imperial court, they are also good things that betray all nations, and if they can be promoted, they can also reflect the benevolence of the imperial court." ”

Although the words are high-sounding, why is Chief Xu hand-giving these books now? Su Tan has been set up to make wall hangings, and it will not be to give up Brunei Mansion to his own house.

Test? It can only be a temptation. Huang Shunzhi thinks so, and he knows how to do it.

Looking at the corners of Xu Xuan's smiling mouth, he stood up and spoke.

"The villain has a reluctant request, and he has to let the bell pipe hook be a witness, hoping that the scripture will be fulfilled."

…………

"Alright."

Min Niang's little face was slightly red in the sun, but it was just a blink of an eye, and she heard the chief say that it had been planted with pox.

Chen Shilao and Li stayed outside, for fear that their daughter would be frightened.

Stroking the scar on her daughter's arm, it was a cut picked out with a needle, and it had been medicated, but when she touched it, Min Niang still bared her teeth slightly, obviously a little painful.

Li Jingming also comforted on the side, "Sanniang don't worry, you have to leave such a scar when planting pox seedlings, and it will be easy to identify in the future, my son will be like this after planting." ”

"Brother Zhong and Brother Yi also have pox? Brother Zhong is twenty. ”

After a busy night last night, Li Jingming didn't explain a lot of things, so he was asked by his sister again.

I listened to Bai Xiuen on the side explain: "As long as you don't have acne, you can get pox, and you won't get it again after planting." ”

Then he comforted Chen Lu again: "Your sister doesn't have to worry, how many times has this pox immunization method been used, it will never hurt her life." ”

There can't be one or two dead in 10,000 children, and that's what the newspaper propaganda says, and the words of the chiefs are naturally true, and there will never be a mistake. Even if there are a few accidents, you can only blame yourself for your bad luck, so this is also true.

After Bai Xiuen finished speaking, he seemed to dispel their doubts, and pulled up his sleeves again, "Our patriarchs are also average, and we have planted pox one step ahead of the naturalized people, and there is no problem." Min Niang is already late at this age, but fortunately, she has not had acne yet, so she doesn't have to be afraid in the future. ”

Several veterans who participated in the pox work and more intern medical students were busy with the previous work, and in order to prepare for this pox, they all planted another one on their own arms, leaving a unique pox scar to reassure the natives.

Zhang Cai and Li Eryi lined up in the queue one after the other, even though they had known each other for a long time on weekdays and worked in the same place, they still looked a little nervous today, and they didn't have anything to say. Zhang Cai's hand tightly pinched three tickets, which were for the diagnosis of pox for several of his own children, just like the one Li second-hand pinched, the Department of Health and Welfare, who was responsible for pox, only accepted the golden tickets issued by the household department itself, fortunately, the credit of this banknote was still good, and the printing was also excellent, not more than worrying about counterfeiting.

It's just that Lao Tzu's palms are sweating, and he is still looking at the side, but the children around him are not caring and playing by themselves.

Brother Zhang and Zi Niang are still as easy to talk and laugh as usual, and the younger siblings who follow them are only a few years younger and are about to reach the age of going to school. Although Mr. Today gave him a leave, the children still preferred to listen to the lectures in the school rather than queuing up here. But after all, they are still children, and it is inevitable that the nature of playfulness is still there, although Brother Zhang's name is Little Brother, he is the eldest in the family, and there are two younger siblings below, and Zi Niang's situation is also average.

At this time, the children do not pay attention to the adults, and there are hawkers who are close to sell all kinds of fresh snacks, which is also a new thing that has only recently appeared in Hong Kong. Both of them are excellent in their homework, and in the past two months, they have also accumulated a lot of 'scholarships', most of which are given to the family for subsidies, and they also left some private houses for themselves, which are just used to buy one of the younger siblings.

The children were also happy to eat good things in their mouths, and they were clamoring to go to the school in the middle of the road to study earlier, so that they could live a happy life like their brothers and sisters sooner.

At this moment, there was another commotion in the originally peaceful procession, and someone in front of them heard the word come down one after another.

"Planted so quickly?"

"The first in line is the Chen family, his Min Niang heard that he was infected with wind disease a few days ago, and now it is finally Antai."

"Who said no, according to this situation, it won't be noon, and today's children will be able to finish the pox."

The team was talking about the efficiency of the pox, when they heard another quarrel break out at the front.

A red-faced man yelled at a dark-faced young man.

"My lord is a member of the CPPCC Huang."

The young man said-for-tat, "I should still be the chief, there are a lot of members now, but unfortunately my father is also a committee member. ”

"My lord has Xu Jingluo's promise."

The red-faced man was so angry that he was afraid that the errand assigned by his master would not be completed, so he hurriedly raised the name of the chief......

It's just that a battle still didn't work out after all, and a local scribe-like figure next to him was trying to persuade the red-faced man, so he heard the young man shout towards the team, one after another, and the shouts were full of neutrality.

"The people behind have heard clearly, from now on the next ten days, the diagnosis fees for pox in all local households will be paid by my Datong Mu family."
