"Smallpox is contagious, what are you going to do!"

The emperor stared at Yu Zhiqian and asked in a low voice, under the current situation, Yu Zhiqian is indeed the best choice, there is no one.

Among the ministers, the emperor has no suitable candidate, and the first candidate is actually not the minister, but the prince, in the face of this kind of disaster, the Huang family is much better than the minister, but the emperor thought about the prince for a while and did not make a decision.

The crown prince, the side concubine in the family is going to be born, it may be his eldest grandson, if Yu Zhiqian is sent out at this time, it is a little unkind, and smallpox is very dangerous, the emperor is afraid that something will happen to the prince, and there is no suitable heir.

The second prince, this person, has been completely excluded by the emperor, this guy was sent out, and the emperor was worried that he would directly expose him.

The third prince, the guy with the paste in his head, if there is a war, let him lead an army as a vanguard may also be able to play a certain role, so that the enemy can lower their vigilance, it turns out that the Yutang Empire is this kind of goods.

The four princes, the fifth prince, the sixth prince, all the way to the youngest eighth prince, the emperor has considered them all, and as a result, no one can do it.

But Yu Zhiqian's words just now, the emperor has already made a decision in his heart, the prince will go to the disaster relief, if he can come back successfully, he will definitely compensate his eldest son, these years, he seems to be a little unfair to him.

The emperor's heart fluctuated, and Yu Zhiqian sent a piece of music to him: "Father, Erchen has developed a smallpox vaccine, which can effectively prevent smallpox infection, so Erchen decided to lead Donggong Liulu to Shannan Road, and let every sergeant be vaccinated on the way!" ”

"Are you sure you can stop smallpox?"

The Emperor quickly took the recital and looked at it at a glance, which was the best news he had heard today.

"Father can! Eight death row inmates stayed with smallpox patients for seven days without infection! ”

"Good! Good! Good! ”

The emperor said three good words in a row! Excitedly stood up from his position and paced back and forth: "What else do you want, just say it, I will satisfy you as much as possible!" ”

Yu Zhiqian thought for a while: "Father, medicinal materials, to treat smallpox, you need enough medicinal materials, and your sons may need to use hot air balloons to transport supplies, and your sons will take a group of students to go, and ......."

"Quasi, immediately send the decree to the six departments, cooperate with the prince this time for disaster relief, no one will delay in any way, you will take my gold medal, and I will give you the right to cut first and then play!"

"The son will live up to his father's trust!"

"Go get ready!"

"Whoa!"

After Yu Zhiqian left, he returned to the other garden and began to mobilize the soldiers and horses of the East Palace, and the six men and horses of the East Palace added up to about 50,000 people, not counting the logistics and people, etc., there are many things that need to be prepared.

"Is the vaccinia liquid sufficient?"

"Your Highness, all the sick cattle around Chang'an City have been found, and there is so much to collect, and now I am looking for sick cattle and squeezing cowpox every day!"

"Find as many as you can!"

Yu Zhiqian is very anxious now, and wants to go to Shannan Road quickly, but Yu Zhiqian knows that he can't be in a hurry now, he must first prepare sufficient supplies before going out, otherwise he will only increase the number of infected people in this plague after he goes.

"Your Highness, this is the roster!"

"Tell everyone to go to disaster relief this time, it's the plague, it's smallpox, all the only sons in the family are left, and let the left guard rate start vaccination, and the rest of the guard rate will be carried out in turn, tell all the sergeants that there may be some uncomfortable symptoms after vaccination, don't panic, after vaccination, you won't be infected with smallpox!"

"Whoa!"

One order by one, the preparations were carried out in an orderly manner, and at the same time, Chang'an City also became a huge machine, and the six departments took the lead, constantly concentrating the materials needed in the suburbs of the south of Chang'an City, mainly medicines and disinfection items, food This thing is not lacking in the Yutang Empire, if Shannan Road is short of food, it can be sent directly along the river, so Yu Zhiqian's army only brought a small amount of food.

Three days later, everything was ready, and a total of about 100,000 tons of various herbs that could cure smallpox were collected, as well as 200,000 simple masks......

Some of these things are materials prepared by Yu Zhiqian in advance, such as masks, which the ancient people didn't know at all, but Yu Zhiqian, who came from modern times, knew very well the main path of the spread of the virus, so he thought of masks at the first time, and almost swept away the cloth on the surface of Chang'an City and made it into a simple mask, although it is not as useful as the N95 in the future, but it can play a certain role in protection.

The emperor personally saw him off, the whole scene was very grand, Yu Zhiqian glanced back at Chang'an City, glanced at Cheng Xiang, who was about to give birth and also came out to see him off, and slowly said After setting off, the army headed towards Shannan Road.

Shannan Road is roughly the province in the north of the two lakes in the later generations, from Chang'an to the past, it takes nearly a thousand miles of distance, there are many mountain roads along the way, the road is very difficult to walk, it is also close to this section of Chang'an City, the cement road is built and it is better to walk some, out of Chang'an City thirty miles, the whole road will be restored to the ancient level.

The time is still too short, Yu Zhiqian estimates that within ten years, it may be possible to pave a road that is easier to walk from the Qinling Mountains, the road becomes difficult to walk, and the speed of the entire march begins to slow down, and at the same time, after the first batch of left guards have been vaccinated, the soldiers who have had adverse reactions have also recovered, and the second batch of right guards have begun to be vaccinated.

The left guard led more than 8,000 people, and no one died because of the vaccine, which was good news for Yu Zhiqian, but because of the march of the army, if a large number of people lost their mobility, it would slow down the speed of the army's march, so Yu Zhiqian still let the guards and guards be vaccinated.

In order to prevent the frozen cowpox liquid from losing its effect, dozens of cows were also brought along the way, loaded in horse-drawn carriages, and served this group of cattle like an uncle.

"Your Highness, why do some soldiers get sick after applying cowpox, while others are fine, why is that?"

Hua Tuo looked at Yu Zhiqian curiously and expressed his doubts.

"Everyone's physique is different, and the resistance in the body is also different, so everyone will have a different reaction, just like some people have the same disease, some people will recover quickly, and some people will recover for a long time, or even never recover!" Yu Zhiqian couldn't explain it clearly after speaking.

"Oh, that's it!"

Hua Tuo nodded as if he didn't understand: "His Royal Highness the Prince, I want to try some new prescriptions for this epidemic, I don't know if it's okay!" ”

Yu Zhiqian's eyes lit up after hearing this: "Have you made a breakthrough in your research?" ”

Sun Simiao and Yu Zhiqian didn't bring it, stayed in the East Palace, Cheng Xiang was about to give birth after all, Yu Zhiqian brought Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, since they were found by Yu Zhiqian, they began to instill a lot of modern medical theories.

Traditional Chinese medicine is broad and profound, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing are both representatives of Chinese medicine, but Chinese medicine has certain limitations in some aspects, Yu Zhiqian told them about the limited Western medicine he knew, they had a feeling of being sudden, especially Hua Tuo, he was very interested in surgery.

A few days ago, Guan Yu, yes, was the guy who sold dates, he suddenly had a stomachache some time ago, and he didn't see it for a few days, after Yu Zhiqian found out, this guy seemed to have appendicitis, so he took him to Hua Tuo for treatment, Hua Tuo has studied a lot of corpses recently, but he has never done experiments on living people, and after getting Hua Tuo's ** sample, he was so excited that he almost opened Guan Yu on the spot!

When Yu Zhiqian watched Hua Tuo and Guan Yu stand together and prepare for surgery, Yu Zhiqian suddenly had a feeling that the rolling wheels of history were crushing, Guan Yu still did not escape Hua Tuo's scalpel in the end, but this time his luck was not bad, he did not scrape the bone to cure the poison, but just cut an appendix.

However, this appendiceal incision is estimated to be the first case in the world, Guan Yu may also be the first surgical patient, and the final operation was relatively successful, but when it was sutured, the stitches were very ugly, but fortunately Guan Yu was not Xiahoudun, otherwise Yu Zhiqian suspected that after the appendix was cut, there would be a sentence: "The parents of the body appendix!" Then throw it into the pan and fry it in the pan before eating.

Hua Tuo heard Yu Zhiqian ask: "Your Highness, I did find some breakthroughs, and I observed some things with a microscope, but how to treat them is still a continuous experiment, I recently found some prescriptions, but because there are not enough cases, I can't know the efficacy for the time being!" ”

"What to prepare, say in advance, I'll prepare some medicine!"

"Whoa!"

Six days later, as soon as the Qinling Mountains passed through and entered a plain area, Yu Zhiqian was relieved, the Qinling Road was difficult to walk, during this time Yu Zhiqian had been worried about any changes in the weather, after all, the weather in summer can change at any time, and if there is a sudden rainstorm, it may cause road blockage.

"Let's take off in a hot air balloon!"

Yu Zhiqian glanced at the cloudless sky, and Yu Zhiqian did not hesitate to order the hot air balloon to be lifted into the air, and the hot air balloon carried out preliminary reconnaissance work, and it was best to get in touch with Shannan Road to pave the way for entering the city in the early stage.

On the six-day journey, Yu Zhiqian and others met many refugees who had fled, all of them were refugees who had escaped from Shannan Province, and most of them were not infected with smallpox, but all of them were collected by Yu Zhiqian and studied by Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing.

The situation in Shannan Province is not optimistic, through these refugees have learned a lot of information, such as there have been extinct villages, some villages have no survivors, more people have the whole village has been sick, but they can not get any medical treatment, can only wait for death, as for the situation in several cities, these refugees do not know, are people from some villages around Shannan Province.
