Zhang Zhongjing's medical skills are superb, and he loves to travel all over the world, hanging pots to help the world, and has seen many times the tragic situation of the people after being ravaged by smallpox.

In the hundreds of years of the Han Dynasty, there were many outbreaks of smallpox plague.

In general, smallpox usually begins in children, but it is highly contagious.

If the township is well-informed, and the blockade is timely and effective, smallpox will only poison the township at most. If it is discovered late and the blockade is not timely, it is not unheard of in every county to be poisoned.

After the smallpox epidemic was over, the township, county, and county that were blockaded were basically inhabited.

With the hygiene and medical technology of this era, there are very few people who can survive smallpox!

Even if two or three lucky people survive the occasional stay, most of them will starve to death or die of other diseases during the lockdown.

Smallpox is a disease with a very high mortality rate, and even wise emperors will change color when they hear it.

The doctor is benevolent, Zhang Zhongjing hangs the pot in the world, and has been in the epidemic area of smallpox many times. However, in the face of those smallpox patients, watching them die one by one, as a doctor, they are helpless, and no one can understand the powerlessness of heartache.

Now, some people actually say that smallpox can be vaccinated and prevented, can Zhang Zhongjing not be shocked and excited?

Zhuge Liang can understand the excitement of Zhang's father and son, and what he wrote on the bamboo slip is this method of pox.

The prevention of smallpox was not a secret in later generations.

In the rural areas of the eighties and nineties, not everyone had the financial means to get a smallpox vaccine.

So, an old man in the village made a small wound on the child's arm, and then looked for the cow suffering from smallpox, took the suppurated cowpox next to the cow's milk, and applied it to the wound on the child's arm; After three to five days of low-grade fever, the child will recover on his own and will no longer be threatened by smallpox. This simple method of planting pox, I have never heard of anyone dying.

It is precisely because of this treatment to prevent smallpox that smallpox in later generations is basically no longer a threat to humans!

However, in this day and age, this method is something that no one has thought of.

No one would have thought that preventing smallpox is actually actively infecting people with smallpox.

Well, according to Zhuge Liang's bamboo slip, it is to inoculate cowpox.

However, once a person has recovered from smallpox, he will never be infected with the disease again for the rest of his life.

However, with the high fatality rate, who would dare to actively contract smallpox?

"My Zhuge family used to work in Langya. He was also very naughty after the next hour, and he also frolicked among the cattle and sheep. One of the cows in the family was infected with smallpox. When I was eight or nine years old, I fell seriously ill because of this. ”

Zhuge Liang began to explain to the Zhang father and son.

"Later, after many observations and studies, it was discovered that cattle and horses are actually the most susceptible to smallpox."

"It's just that the smallpox disease they are infected with is much less virulent than our human smallpox disease."

"Moreover, the physique of cattle and horses is not comparable to that of us humans, and they can naturally withstand the toxicity of smallpox, and even the external manifestations of the disease may not appear."

"Therefore, no one has ever heard of cattle and horses dying of smallpox!"

……

Zhuge Liang was talking, but Zhang's father and son were thinking.

Although the method of vaccinia inoculation is unheard of, there is one thing that Zhang Yuan does not know very well, but Zhang Zhongjing knows it very well.

He Zhang Zhongjing has been hanging pots all over the world for many years, and he has also seen in epidemic areas that the so-called cowpox will indeed appear next to milk. Within a few days, the pox will heal on its own.

And, according to the cowherds, cattle that have had cowpox will hardly suffer from the disease again.

If this cowpox is really the "bovine smallpox" mentioned by Zhuge Liang, this method may really be feasible.

After all, Zhang Zhongjing had never heard of a cow that died of cowpox!

Moreover, after walking in the epidemic area for many years, Zhang Zhongjing knows some clues.

The cowherds in the township are the most susceptible to smallpox.

Moreover, cowherd babies with smallpox, although they will also be isolated, are the easiest to heal. Even if there are cattle herders who die of smallpox, most of them do not die from the disease, or they are locked down for too long, left unattended, starved to death, or frozen to death.

Previously, this kind of clue did not arouse Zhang Zhongjing's vigilance.

At this time, compared with what Zhuge Liang said, it is really possible that those cowpox are smallpox.

Cowherd babies are often accompanied by cows, and are naturally the most susceptible to smallpox.

If what Zhuge Liang said is correct, the toxicity of smallpox of these cattle is really very slight.

Zhang's father and son were thinking, but they only heard Zhuge Liang continue: "Since ancient times, the smallpox plague has only been heard to appear in the Central Plains, who has ever heard that the Hu people on the grassland have died out of the entire tribe due to smallpox? ”

"I'm afraid, there is no such rumor once!"

"Why?"

"Just because there are herds of cattle and horses on the grassland, most of the Hu people are herdsmen, and they are often accompanied by cattle and horses, so they are easily infected with cattle smallpox since they were young, and cattle smallpox is very viral, and the fatality rate is almost negligible."

This point mentioned by Zhuge Liang is known to almost everyone in later generations.

But in this era, it almost opened a bright window for Zhang Zhongjing.

Indeed, since records began, I have only heard of an outbreak of smallpox in a certain place in the Central Plains, but I have never heard of an outbreak of smallpox in the grasslands; I have never heard of the Hu people dying of smallpox plague!

After pondering for a long time, Zhang Zhongjing suddenly raised his head, stared at Zhuge Liang and said: "Kong Ming's method, if it can really be done, it will benefit the people of the world, all the people in the world, and all generations, will be grateful for Kong Ming's achievements today!" ”

Zhuge Liang thanked him, but said: "Although this matter can definitely be done, a certain person is not a doctor, and he can't understand the trick." ”

"Yes, Liang sent this bamboo slip today, which is to prepare to send this merit to Mr. Zhongjing, first, to repay Mr. for saving his life; Moreover, Mr. hanging the pot to help the world, it is natural to make this method benefit the people of the world! ”

Zhang Zhongjing held the bamboo slip tightly, although he was very excited, he also hesitated.

He was thrilled that if this method could really prevent smallpox, the people of the world would no longer suffer from smallpox for generations to come. This is the real benefit of the common people, the benefit of all generations, and the name of the history is a must.

What he hesitated was that this method was Zhuge Kongming's.

He Zhang Zhongjing wants to save the people of the world from the epidemic, but he doesn't want to be greedy for Zhuge Liang's sky-pouring work!

…..

Compared with Zhang Zhongjing's reluctance to covet the merits of others, Zhang Yuan is unwilling to miss this opportunity to leave a name in history.

Zhang Yuan knew that his father was a benevolent doctor and hung the pot in the world, and he would definitely leave his name in history in the future.

As Zhang Zhongjing's son, if he can't be better than the blue, if he wants to leave a name in history, he can only hope for luxury. At most, next to the green history, there will be a trace, Zhang Yuan, Zhang Zhongjing's eldest son. There are no other brushstrokes.

This is the father's brilliance is too great, and the children and grandchildren are shrouded in their brilliance, and it is difficult to have a bright future.

However, at present, this method of preventing smallpox must be presided over by their Zhang father and son.

If he can really make it, he Zhang Yuan will definitely be like his father and go down in history!

It's something that everyone has to pursue.

The monk pursues immortality, and the ordinary people pursue the hot kang head of their wives and children.

Zhang Yuan's family history is the pursuit of leaving a name in history!

Pulling his father's sleeve, Zhang Yuan leaned into his father's ear and whispered: "Father, this method may really prevent smallpox, but whether it can be done in the end, we have to find some slaves to experiment." Brother Kong Mingxian is not well-versed in medicine, so naturally he can only be presided over by his father. ”

"For the livelihood of the world, the child suggests that it is better for the father to take over this position."

"If my father thinks that it is not appropriate to be greedy for Kong Ming's merits, it is a big deal, after we verify that this method is feasible, when we inoculate the people with cowpox in the future, we will use Kong Ming's method of planting pox to tell the people of the world!"

"In this way, my father saved the people from the threat of smallpox, and the credit still goes to Brother Kong Mingxian!"

What Zhang Yuan wants is to leave a name in history, and as for the gratitude of the people, it is nothing to put on Zhuge Liang's head.

Besides, if this method can prevent smallpox, in the end, isn't it still their Zhang father and son who inoculate the people with cowpox?

When the time comes, the people will be grateful to Zhuge Kongming, won't they miss their Zhang father and son from the heart?

Knowing the son is better than the father, the eldest son's thoughts, the father naturally understands.

However, as the eldest son said, whether the method of planting pox can prevent smallpox can still be known after verification. And Zhuge Liang obviously doesn't know the way of medicine, and this verification thing has to be handed over to the doctor in the end.

Instead of letting others do it, it's better for them to do it Zhang's father and son!

can make his son famous in history, Zhang Zhongjing is naturally happy to see it.

Of course, as the eldest son said, this credit for saving the common people can still be placed on Zhuge Kongming's head when the time comes!

After a long silence, Zhang Ji got up and bowed deeply to Zhuge Liang.

"That being the case, the method of planting pox, I took it. After the verification is feasible, this method will be used to benefit the people of the world! ”

Zhuge Liang also bowed deeply, saluted in return, and said, "In this way, thank you Mr. Zhongjing!" ”

As for the fact that this method still needs to be verified, as well as the precautions in it, Zhang Zhongjing is a holy hand of medical Taoism, and he knows more than he Zhuge Liang, and he doesn't need to be reminded.

……

On this trip to Nieyang County, thanking Zhang Zhongjing for his life-saving grace is the main thing, but Zhuge Liang also wants to take this opportunity to bring this pox method to this world.

In this era, many people suffer from diseases.

Zhuge Liang knows only a little about it, and he knows many medical methods in later generations, but there are not many that can be used in this era.

can benefit the world and all generations, Zhuge Liang only remembers the method of planting pox.

Once the method of planting pox is popularized in the world, he Zhuge Liang will have a lot of luck.

Yes, Zhuge Liang's trip to give Zhang Zhongjing the method of planting pox, it was for luck.

Saved all the people in the world, can you not be remembered by all the people, can you not be heartfelt by luck?

Nowadays, the world is in turmoil, and there are shadows of the monk sect behind all the princes, why is this, isn't it just to compete for luck?

With the addition of luck and immeasurable luck, the monk will be able to run rampant.

If the sect has luck, it will be able to inherit it through the ages and produce more power.

In his previous life, he Zhuge Liang was an expert at squandering his luck, so that later his luck could not make ends meet, and he had a short life.

In this life, although Zhuge Liang will not die like this again, he will not be too lucky!
