The time has finally come to the beginning of summer, the spring days in the south are long gone, replaced by blazing sunlight and sultry weather, and the students who listen carefully every day can know that the country under the wind is not affected by the wind disaster, and it is naturally not easy to get a cool summer day. But today's school is empty, because of the pox, Fu Xiaofei deliberately gave the students a day off.

In the middle of Slim Harbour, next to the hospital's inpatient department, there is a large vacant lot that has just been planned, and if it were not for today's major event, the foundation would have been firmly laid to make room for the second inpatient unit of the already overcrowded Jinglusi Hospital.

Now the courtyard was fenced off early, and when the first trumpets sounded in the morning, it was the time for the people, or what is now called the workers, and the recruits who supported the Japanese army had been sent to the courtyard to guard the yard, and they were standing upright, which could be regarded as their homework for the day.

The streets outside the compound are full of Brunei government police, and even the stone road leading to the compound has been cleaned three times in the early morning by the workers of the Environmental Sanitation Bureau, which is much brighter than usual.

A small shop near the hospital was already full of friends, and even the street was full of people under the new signboard of Zhao Lao'er's miscellaneous store. On normal days, the police would have gone up to take care of it, but today is different, and the government police are standing much more neatly than on any other day, but they are blind to the chaos on the street. As long as you don't litter, don't act like a traitor, and make a little noise, you shouldn't hear it, after all, the task assigned by the chief today is to maintain order, and the compound is the main show.

Acquaintances sat around the table of eight immortals on the street, drinking rice wine, and the three or five plates were filled with the flavor of the shopkeeper's hometown.

Zhao Laji was busy with his buddies, and he heard someone make fun of him, but he looked like a familiar short and fat man.

"It turned out to be Brother Liu, who has been gone for a few days."

Liu Jilao still spoke like that, "Lao Zhao, now that you have a livelihood by yourself, you speak a lot more kindly." ”

"Brother Liu, where are you talking, I have always been so kind, and I make money with kindness."

Li Ahri next to him saw it and said sarcastically: "I remember that the shopkeeper Zhao didn't believe that the chiefs could win, but now the roasted chicken is still sold, and the shopkeeper is still surnamed Zhao." ”

At that time, the joint attacks of the natives and pirates from all walks of life were repelled by the Song people, which was also surprising. But after the accident, when the strategy began to repair the planning in Hong Kong, Zhao Laji took a fancy to the newly built Sili Port, relying on the early, the strategy gave a generous policy, and then ordered this store near the hospital, opened the Zhao family's name of the miscellaneous shop, specializing in the pickled flavor of his hometown Jiangxi, and sold alcohol, but also to the hospital to deliver food, since the hospital business is getting better and better, the guests in this store have never been short.

In the eyes of Liu Jilao and others, this is just a model of saying one thing and doing another, fortunately, they didn't listen to Zhao Laji's words at the beginning, and they still carried the work for the chiefs, finished their work during the day, and still ran a literacy class in the middle of the road at night. Relying on the construction of various places in the current port, not only can you have enough to eat, but also have some savings. Half a month ago, Liu Jilao and several others also became naturalized people, moved into a dormitory built for naturalized people, and now they are saving money and preparing to marry a daughter-in-law.

Since it is said that they are married, they are naturally still single and have become naturalized people, so they are like signing a death deed, but the treatment that naturalized people can get is really rich, and these original broken households no longer mind.

After all, in the Ming Dynasty, there are not a few people who take their ancestral land and donate it to a large family to seek a background, not to mention that the naturalized people themselves are not subject to household registration, and if they want to go to other places in Nanyang, as long as it is occupied by the official army of the Great Song Dynasty, it will be done by submitting an application to the head of the supervisor.

Moreover, now that he can still read and write, and there are also schools teaching children, it should be a logical thing to think that the Great Song Dynasty will open a science and take a bachelor's degree in Nanyang in the future. Liu Jilao is not arrogant, and he also knows his own catties, it is impossible to take a fame test, but it is not a bad thing to know more words, not to mention that he can have a thought for future generations.

At this time, someone at the table was talking loudly, "I've heard the pox method before, but I don't know what the chief's pox immunization method is." ”

"What kind of charter is this, you didn't read it in the newspaper yesterday."

Li Ahri is younger, he has already opened Mongolia, and he is also literate quickly, and he heard that he has been very energetic since he entered the night school, and he has to read 80 words every day before he is willing to rest, and now he can barely read the newspaper. Listening to a table of people, he replied loudly with a newspaper.

The man asked again, "I haven't read the newspaper, but the method of planting pox has been heard in Daming before, although as long as you survive, you won't get it again, but in fact, people often die." ”

"That's why the newspaper said that the chiefs' method is different from other places."

"What's the difference? After all, it is necessary to plant acne on children. ”

Seeing that people could ask questions, Li Ahri suddenly came to his senses, "The newspaper said that the pox seedlings that have been planted for children this time will never be fine." ”

"Poisoned? Isn't it explicitly about the pox immunization method? If the leaders can really eliminate the poison of acne, then it is not enough to directly eliminate the poison when there is a pox, so why bother planting it on people, I think it is still inappropriate. ”

I heard Li Ahri say again: "It only takes three purple tickets to plant a pox, what can be wrong, the chiefs have always been kind-hearted, and this matter is also a moral betrayal, how can you not do it?" Are you still worried about the medical skills of the chiefs? I think most of them still want more people to naturalize, so I got this pox. ”

Li Ahri's words are to the point, if you talk about accumulation, the cost of planting pox for one fifteen wen is too little, don't look at the team waiting for pox today, at best, there are only two or three hundred people, and no matter how much it is doubled, it will not be collected for ten times. But just looking at the posture, it doesn't look like the chiefs have no confidence in the efficacy. Then the purpose of the strategy is mostly to have more people to plan, the population of Nanyang is not better than the Ming Dynasty, Borneo is more sparsely populated, the original capital of the Bo mud country, the population is only tens of thousands, the official army is now everywhere to discuss, but also to build a commercial port, and people to work and do the field, it is the lack of people, with this method, but it can make people feel at ease, I heard that the north of the mountain side, there are many tribes to submit to the Great Song Dynasty.

There was still gossip on the street, but it couldn't stop all kinds of vendors from crowding over, and the shouts of selling all kinds of fruits and eating were mixed together.

It's just that the queue waiting for the pox is getting longer and longer, and it is slowly moving forward.

Even Li Ahri himself was thinking that after eating the wine, he would also go to plant pox seedlings, look at the table of wine and food, and talk to himself.

"It's only fifteen yuan, and it's really cheap."

…………

Huang Shunzhi respectfully picked up the teacup and took a sip of cold drink, he was not too surprised by the news brought by Xu Xuance, he heard the rumors a few days ago, and it was confirmed in the newspaper yesterday, but it was reasonable to think about it carefully.

"It turned out to be a pox." Huang Shunqing, who was sitting at the top, couldn't help but be a little touched.

"In fact, this pox method, also known as the pox method of exterminating poison and seeding pox, has been used by people since the time of the Divine Sect, and it has been five or six hundred years ago."

Xu Xuance said that the Divine Sect was naturally the one who changed the law in the Northern Song Dynasty, and although the Huang brothers are all in Nanyang, this basic historical common sense is not wrong.

After listening to Huang Shunzhi, he asked, "How long has it been?" I've never heard of anyone using it. ”

The Huang brothers were a little puzzled, has it been so long? To say that the transportation is inconvenient, but the good things of the Ming Dynasty, except for the ordnance and iron, which are prohibited from exporting, will never be transmitted to the South Seas for more than a year, and I have heard it before, saying that there is indeed such a thaumaturgy in the south of the mainland, but I have not seen it in person, and it is only regarded as a strange anecdote.

"It's just because it hurts the saints, so I have never used it again since I hunted south."

Seeing the two brothers listening attentively, Xu Xuance still took out the set of rhetoric that had been discussed before.

"Presumably, the two generals also know that if they get this pox once, if they are lucky enough not to die, they will not get it again, which is the so-called immunity."

"I see." The two nodded and listened, and Huang Shunzhi seemed to understand. "Then if you take out the serum of the acne of the recovered person and plant it on others, you will be able to avoid the epidemic?"

"No, such pox seedlings are just raw seedlings, planted on good people, and they are still easy to die."

"That ......" Huang Shunzhi's curiosity had obviously been aroused, but he didn't know where to start.

"In fact, the truth is simple, although the seedlings are still toxic, but the toxicity is a little less, as long as the person who is planted with pox does not die, so repeated cycles several times, the toxicity in the seedlings to be pulled out is ripe, it is a mature seedling, with mature seedlings to plant pox, even if it is planted in children, it is just a mild disease, and it will not get it again for life."

But Huang Shunqing's question followed, "What if the person with pox died?" ”

Xu Xuance rolled his eyes and spread his hands helplessly, "Then there is no way, I have to start all over again." ”

"This ......" Hearing this, Huang Shunqing gasped, he had never heard the story of putting grains on the chessboard, but this pox planting method that took human lives to fill in the pox was more like killing people no matter how you look at it.

"That's why it is said to hurt the saints, so in my Great Song Dynasty, this method has never been used, this is to prevent treacherous people from taking it as a way to advance and harm people."

"That's right." Huang Shunzhi nodded yes, but after thinking about it, he felt that something was wrong, "But this time?" ”

Seeing that Xu Xuance didn't answer immediately, Huang Shunzhi simply made a bold guess: "Is it a captive?" ”

The last time in the battle between Sili and Labuan, the Song people can be said to have killed corpses all over the field, I don't know how many pirates were caught on Labuan Island, but the largest local Gotha Central Department was crippled alive, and there should be no fewer captured prisoners, if these prisoners are used to make pox seedlings, it can be explained, and the disposal of prisoners of war, outsiders will not say that the Song people are wrong, and such a thing as repaying grievances with virtue is not common in Nanyang, but it was immediately denied by Xu Xuance.

"A few hundred prisoners of war can help a lot, this ripe seedling has to be made new every time, do you have to catch hundreds of prisoners of war every time? The person who was only afraid to save has not killed many people. ”

"And this pox?" After listening to Xu Xuance's answer, Huang Shunqing was also relieved, he had been with the Song people for a long time, and he also knew that they were not such murderous people.

"It's cowpox."

Xu Xuance gave the answer unabashedly.

I heard the Huang brothers cry out in surprise.

"Cowpox?"
