With the periphery of Donghai Town, the consolidation of the four major foreign garrison military regions has also made the situation at this stage gradually stable, but with the rapid expansion of the territory, Donghai Town is also facing many problems.

Compared with basic needs such as food, clothing, housing and transportation, with the continuous increase of population, the control of diseases has also become a serious challenge for Donghai Town.

Compared with later generations, in the feudal era of the Ming Dynasty, the medical level was not as high as imagined, and the concept of disinfection was not particularly brought out, which made once infected, in addition to relying on the body to resist, those who want to be treated with drugs are all well-off.

This situation also leads to a generally low life expectancy, and the most likely to erupt and kill people is smallpox.

Xuanye, known as Kang Mazi, is the most typical representative of this.

Smallpox is highly contagious, and anyone who has not had or been vaccinated against smallpox, young or old, who has been exposed to smallpox, is sure to congratulate you on winning the jackpot.

Before the method of curbing smallpox was truly invented and popularized, if people got smallpox, it was entirely up to providence.

If you have more resistance, you have a better chance of survival, and if you have less resistance, then you are closer to death.

And the best way to solve the problem of smallpox, and the most effective way, is to vaccinate against cowpox.

It is prepared from the vaccinia virus. Vaccinia virus is a virus that causes minor cowpox lesions in cattle. If a person is infected with the virus, they will only experience mild discomfort and develop resistance against the vaccinia virus.

Since vaccinia virus and smallpox virus have the same antigenic properties, people can also acquire immunity against smallpox virus at the same time after vaccinia vaccination.

After Zhao Zongwu put forward this concept, Sun Chuanting, Lu Xiangsheng and other officials in Donghai Town cheered, if this method is really effective, the change will definitely be huge.

If the stubborn disease of smallpox can be solved, then thousands of people in Donghai Town can be saved from death every year, and if the time is ripe, it can be extended to the entire Ming realm, which is definitely a feat of sanctification on the ground!

But there are too many things that need to be done in Donghai Town, otherwise Sun Chuanting would choose to take charge of this matter, because when he was a local official, he saw a tragedy caused by smallpox, and the people of the whole village died......

If this experiment can be successful, then Zhao Zongwu is the saint of the world!

For this reason, Sun Chuanting ordered Ruan Dacheng to be specifically responsible for this matter, as an official of the Donglin Party who was secretly assigned by Wei Zhongxian in the early stage, Ruan Dacheng still has the ability.

Although Ruan Dacheng has a bad reputation in history, Zhao Zongwu doesn't care about these at this stage. When it really doesn't work, it's not too late to kill him, and Donghai Town is really short of management talents at present.

In fact, if you think about it carefully, there are too many people with flaws in history under Zhao Zongwu's command, but what does that represent?

As long as he is strong enough, deterrent enough, and prestige enough, no one will dare to blow up at all.

Like Sun Chuanting when they were first captured, Ruan Dacheng and the others also showed recklessness, feeling that they should not be treated like this, but Zhao Zongwu didn't want to eat this.

To treat this kind of literati, especially the unruly literati, it is necessary to use the most tragic and painstaking method to make them really remember!

This proved to be effective.

It stands to reason that the medical craftsman is a lowly member, especially the job he is engaged in is quite dangerous, but after being assigned, Ruan Dacheng can be called hard-working, after all, labor reform is too hard......

This has experienced practical life, there is a bit of literature and ink in his stomach, coupled with his own skills of drawing inferences from one another, Ruan Dacheng has spent a lot of effort in dealing with this matter.

In order to truly break through this difficulty, Ruan Dacheng actively gathered talents who knew how to use medical skills, and used the methods pondered in practical production to conduct special research in groups, coupled with the strong support of Sun Chuanting and others, and finally completed the task of mass production on the eve of the Jiannu attack.

When studying the method of cowpox, Ruan Dacheng and the others conducted a lot of experiments, and also made the medical level of Donghai Town improve by leaps and bounds through some basic medical methods proposed by Zhao Zongwu.

Especially in the battle that broke out this time, because many wounded were sent down from the front line, in order to help solve such an emergency, Ruan Dacheng took the initiative to ask Ying to form a temporary rescue medical team.

Because of their existence, the soldiers in need were saved from death, from disability, from pain.

And when Zhao Zongwu was busy with the urgent matter at hand, when Sun Chuanting reported to him, especially knowing that cowpox had been developed, Zhao Zongwu's joy in his heart can be imagined!!

"Boya, vaccinating cowpox must be vigorously promoted, there are too many people under the command of Donghai Town at present, and we can't ignore this method because we spend too much silver." Zhao Zongwu looked at the report handed over by Sun Chuanting, vaccinia vaccination has been successfully completed in the Jinzhou area, but the cost is not ordinarily low, but in the long run, this is definitely a good thing for the country and the people!

When doing things, especially when doing great things, we must not only take into account some immediate interests, but must start from the long term and take a long-term view.

"Uncle!" After listening to Zhao Zongwu's answer, Sun Chuanting did not answer immediately, but instead tidied up his clothes, solemnly bowed his hand to Zhao Zongwu, and then knelt on the ground, and said solemnly: "On behalf of millions of people in Donghai Town, thank you for your great kindness!" ”

There was no emotion, this time he knelt down, Sun Chuanting was sincere.

"Boya doesn't have to be like this, please get up quickly!" After listening to Sun Chuanting, Zhao Zongwu suddenly got up, picked up Sun Chuanting, who was kneeling on the ground, and then said: "It's all about making the people live better, Ben Bo doesn't have the ability to manage the entire Ming Dynasty now, but at this stage, let's take care of Donghai Town first, this matter must be done seriously and attentively, and there should be no mistakes in this, if anyone dares to put his hand on this, then don't blame Ben Bo for being ruthless!" ”

Sun Chuanting said excitedly: "Uncle, don't worry! If anything goes wrong, the lowly will be the first to rush forward! ”

As time passed, the more Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng did in Donghai Town, the more they admired and looked up to Zhao Zongwu.

can go from scratch to today, Zhao Zongwu's ability is obvious to all, and no one dares to underestimate the man in front of him.

Some of the ideas in the past now seem to be very ridiculous, Sun Chuanting and they have laughed more than once in private, some of the ideas when they were young are really very naïve, and they can do a few more practical things for the people, that is the most important existence.

Zhao Zongwu used his own methods to successfully induce Sun Chuanting and Lu Xiangsheng to the kind of effect he wanted, maybe the process was very difficult, but for Zhao Zongwu, it was all worth it.

If there is no Sun Chuanting and their existence, maybe today's Donghai Town is still only in the blueprint deployment, and everything has cause and effect.
