Chapter 453: Smallpox Is Coming (Third Update)

Smallpox...... That means there is a possibility of a smallpox outbreak in the future?

In Li Chengqian's time, smallpox had already been eradicated. But in this era, it is a terrible plague. Everyone talks about the existence of color change.

Smallpox is a virulent infectious disease that confers lifelong immunity after recovery.

Smallpox is one of the oldest infectious diseases with the highest mortality rate, which is highly contagious and severe, and people who have not had smallpox or have not been vaccinated against smallpox can be infected, mainly manifested by severe viremia and high mortality after infection.

The clinical manifestations of smallpox were severe and mild, and the case fatality rate of severe smallpox was about one-quarter, and nearly half of the cases had confluent rash, and 80% had hemorrhage; The case fatality rate of mild smallpox is only 1 in 1,000.

Smallpox virus is a type of pox virus, and there is no specific medicine to treat people after they are infected, and patients will have pockmarks on their faces after they are cured, hence the name "smallpox". It is highly resistant, resistant to dryness and low temperatures, and can survive from months to a year and a half on scabs, dust, and duns.

In this day and age, there is no effective treatment. The most basic, effective, and easiest way to prevent it is vaccinia.

When the system revealed this disease, Li Chengqian knew that everything was not simple.

More than half of the system detected some bad information.

In his contemplation, he let Li Shimin call, but he forgot to respond.

"Gao Ming...... What happened to you? Why the daze? ”

It wasn't until Empress Eldest Sun came over to hold his hand that he reacted.

"Queen Mother's ......"

"Gao Ming, what's wrong with you, Your Majesty has called you a few times, and you are still in a daze?"

Li Chengqian explained:

Erchen was thinking about how to go to Datang in the future. So I was stunned for a while. ”

Either way, this smallpox must be solved.

But as for when it will break out, he doesn't know, if he can stop it before the outbreak, it must be the best.

"Gao Ming is becoming more and more interested in the people, which makes me very pleased."

"All these are the teachings of His Majesty."

Li Chengqian hurriedly said.

Suddenly, an imperial doctor broke into the Taiji Palace, and his expression was very panicked. Looks like something big is going to happen.

This made Li Shimin very puzzled, and when he was about to have a seizure, he heard the imperial doctor screaming.

"Your Majesty, it's not good, there is an outbreak of smallpox in Lantian County! Very serious! ”

The imperial doctor couldn't wait to finish this sentence in one go.

"What!"

When Li Shimin heard the word smallpox, there was a bit of fear in his eyes

He was not even afraid of ghosts and gods when he broke out of the sea of blood from the mountain of corpses, but the word smallpox made his expression shocked, because compared to the enemies that could be seen, smallpox was more terrifying than any enemy. Because it can kill people invisibly, if it is not well controlled, it is possible that the Tang Dynasty, which has worked hard to develop, will be able to regress for decades overnight.

"Smallpox... Erupt... This ......"

Empress Eldest Sun's face also turned pale, if this disease was transmitted to the palace, what would happen to her children? Adults may still have a glimmer of life, but if the child is infected, it is almost hopeless, and she will die if she says she will die, how can she not be afraid?

Li Shentong and Li Xiaochang were also trembling with fright, no one could survive when they encountered this kind of thing.

Li Chengqian seemed calmer, and he asked directly: "So how is the smallpox epidemic in Lantian County now?" ”

Lantian County is less than forty miles away from Chang'an City, and it takes less than an hour to reach it by horseback. Such a close distance did threaten Chang'an City. If smallpox broke out in Chang'an City, it would be a great destruction!

As far as Li Chengqian knows, the most recent one was several years ago, when thousands of people died in a single county alone, many of whom were displaced and their families were ruined.

Now smallpox is back, and it's time for him to perform. He wanted to cure smallpox, which was also the task given to him by the system.

And it just so happened that he recruited Sun Simiao, a capable healer, and let him work with him to solve the problem of smallpox.

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince Qiqi, now that five hundred people in Lantian County have been infected, I am afraid that the disease will spread."

At this time, Lantian County must be properly isolated, but it is not Li Chengqian who is in power now, if it is him, then he can directly order.

No, there is still Li Shimin.

So he said: "Your Majesty, Erchen thinks that this time smallpox is coming quickly, someone must control the epidemic first, and prohibit all people from entering Lantian County!" And closely investigate the surrounding counties to prevent the spread of the epidemic! There is also martial law in the entire Chang'an City, only allowed to go out and not enter! ”

Lantian County is nothing more than a county on the edge of Chang'an, with a population of less than one-tenth of Chang'an, and there are now more than one million people in Chang'an City, so Li Chengqian's approach is right.

Unexpectedly, Li Shentong said: "Your Majesty, smallpox is God's punishment for the people, and the ministers think that those people are sinners and wicked people!" Clear it! Burned directly! ”

In order to protect himself, this Li Shentong can say anything. The ancients dealt with the plague by burning everything, and once they were infected, they burned it directly, regardless of whether you had smallpox or not, but it was too cruel to do so.

"Li Shentong, where do you put the people?! Although smallpox is terrible, as long as it is isolated, there is still a way! How can it be said so easily cleared? What kind of heart do you have, for the sake of your own safety, do you not care about the life or death of the people? ”

Li Chengqian called Li Shentong's name directly, and did not take him seriously at all.

Because it's really contemptible for him to say such things.

It's not worth his affordability.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that King Huai'an is right."

Li Xiaochang also said.

"As soon as this disease comes out, there is almost no life, Your Majesty, if you don't get rid of it, it will be a huge threat to Chang'an! Please give your Majesty's will! ”

Li Shentong continued.

This guy is really annoying, Li Chengqian can't wait to press it to the ground and rub it! But his body was too small, so he had to convince Li Shimin.

At the same time, Li Shimin was thinking about the pros and cons.

Empress Eldest Sun also spoke at this time: "Your Majesty, you must not learn from business, ignore the people's dire situation, and even fall into the well." This is not the work of an emperor! Your Majesty was a benevolent monarch a hundred years ago to the people, a Ming monarch, and a proud son of heaven who led Chang'an and even the people of the Tang Dynasty to prosperity. ”

Empress Changsun said very emotionally, and she also advocated saving the people.

Li Shimin still didn't respond, probably still thinking about something.

This can make Li Chengqian and Empress Changsun anxious.

Of course, Li Shentong and Li Xiaochang were also a little panicked, after all, this involves life safety.

What exactly was Li Shimin's decision? No one knew what was going on in his mind. Take a hundred plating to read the latest chapter of the "Tang God-level Prince Claw Book House" for free for the first time.
