Chapter 260: Ping An gives the question for the scientific examination

Wang Ping'an scratched his head and thought: "If you can't think of something, let me think about it, but I can't think of anything either." At most, think about it medically. But what can be done medically related to the national economy and people's livelihood? ”

The eldest grandson Wuji saw that he was thinking about it, and he was amused in his heart, young people are really young people, as soon as I made him think, he really remembered, can he really come up with something?

Although he had some hopes for Wang Ping'an, he always felt that even if there was a piece of jade in front of him, it had to be polished. And this process of polishing will naturally have to be done by him himself, so that the polished jade can really belong to his eldest grandson.

The eldest grandson Wuji gently knocked on Wang Ping'an's bowl with chopsticks, and said, "Eat this elbow quickly, if it is cold, it will be greasy, and the taste will not be good!" ”

Wang Ping'an sighed, picked up the elbow in the bowl, put it in his mouth and chewed, he said: "This elbow tastes so good, it melts in your mouth, no wonder the eldest grandson loves to eat it!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji laughed twice, and he also picked up his elbow and ate it heavily. The two of them lowered their heads and began to munch on their mouths.

While eating, Wang Ping'an thought: "If you want to talk about medical skills, it can be related to the people of the world, that is too much." For example, the notoginseng I got can benefit hundreds of people, and this medicinal material can be used by the people for hundreds of years and thousands of years. ”

But thinking about it again, the medicine of Panax notoginseng is new enough, but it will involve war, and the soldiers will use it first. This is not too consistent with what the eldest grandson Wuji just said.

The eldest grandson Wuji spit out a bone and said, "Think about the people in the world, think hard." Well, eat hard, if one elbow is not enough, the old man will let the kitchen do it, and eat until you think of it! ”

Wang Ping'an also spit out a bone, thinking: "Eat so greasy on a hot day, be careful of nausea and vomiting!" He thought again, if you want to focus on the national economy and people's livelihood, then incurable diseases will not work, and they must be common diseases.

Typhoid? Sunstroke? None of this is possible, there are already precedents, whether doctors can cure patients or not is related to personal medical practice, but the relationship with theory is not too big!

At this time, after the two of them ate a lot, the elbow had already bottomed out. The eldest grandson Wuji pushed a plate in front of Wang Ping'an and said, "Eat this, sauce beef, made with the best veal, it is very fragrant, no worse than an elbow!" ”

Wang Ping'an picked up a piece of sauced beef, put it in his mouth and chewed it, nodded, and said, "It tastes really good!" ”

said this, but thought in his heart: "It's good to be the prime minister, although the sauced beef is not a delicacies of the mountains and seas, but the taste made by his family is far beyond the famous chef in the big restaurant." But when you talk about it to the outside world, it will become a simple life of Mowgli, and the best thing to eat every day is just elbow or sauced beef, which is not luxurious. In fact, only those who have tasted it know that these two dishes, if they are taken outside, are not cheaper than the delicacies of the mountains and seas! ”

Sure enough, I heard the eldest grandson Wuji say: "This sauce beef is made with calves from Turkic tribute, and idlers can't eat it." Our Datang cattle are used to cultivate the land, and if anyone kills and eats meat, it is a sin, and they can only be eaten after they die. No disease, think about it, the meat of the old cow can be compared with veal, the taste is completely different! ”

Prairie, cows!

Suddenly, Wang Ping'an had a flash of inspiration, and he thought of a major event, which is related to medicine, and it can definitely be called related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and it can even be passed down through the ages, so that future generations will benefit forever, because of this event, and the people who will benefit from life will be hundreds of millions. It is not an exaggeration to count in billions, because history has proven that this is true!

Wang Ping'an suppressed the excitement in his heart and said: "Lord Eldest Sun, you have seen a lot, you can know that there is a disease that is transmitted from the grassland, and the harm is very great, since this disease was introduced to the Central Plains, there have been thousands of people who have died because of this disease, do you know the name of this disease?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled, put down his chopsticks, stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "You actually beat the old man, you are not small!" However, if the old man compares you, you in turn will test the old man, which is still fair. ”

Looking at the sauced beef on the plate, he said, "Foot-and-mouth disease? ”

Wang Ping'an hurriedly shook his head and said, "This is born of cattle and sheep, and it has nothing to do with people, and it is impossible for thousands of people to die." I'm talking about human diseases! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji sighed, he only thought about it for a moment, and his eyes showed a look of fear, and he also remembered that kind of illness. Since this disease was introduced to the Central Plains, it has never been cured, it can be said that there is no cure, people with this disease will either die or survive on their own, and even if they survive, they will often have scars on their faces!

This terrible disease is called smallpox because of the scarring!

The eldest grandson Wuji said: "What you said was infected by prisoners of war from the west in the Han Dynasty, known as 'sores'...... Smallpox? ”

Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "Exactly, it is exactly this disease that the student said!" ”

Smallpox, a disease with a very high mortality rate! In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was infected by prisoners of war from the west, so it was also called "sores"!

In ancient times, all diseases that were contagious and would kill people in large numbers were broadly known as plagues! And among all the plagues, no matter what method is ranked, such as mortality, onset time, area of infection, etc., no matter what aspect of the ranking, smallpox is definitely ranked first, it is the most terrible plague, there is no one!

The number of people who died due to smallpox can really be said to be in 100 million units!

For every four people who get smallpox, one dies, and the remaining three suffer from smallpox scars. Not to mention it from afar, let's just say that the Kangxi Emperor of the Qing Dynasty, he was able to become the emperor because he had smallpox, so he was not considered to have a short life, and the pockmarks on his face were actually pox smallpox.

The royal family of the Qing Dynasty thousands of years later is still like this, not to mention the people of the Tang Dynasty thousands of years ago! In this day and age, no doctor had a cure for smallpox. Even characters like the little fairy Weng Ge Hong, in his "Elbow Reserve Emergency Prescription", only recorded smallpox, and there was no specific cure.

Hearing Wang Ping'an mention smallpox, the eldest grandson Wuji suddenly felt hot all over his body, he grabbed Wang Ping'an's hand and said, "No disease, what are you doing with smallpox, but there is a cure?" ”

Wang Ping'an was silent, of course he knew how smallpox was prevented, but when it came to cure, there was no rule of law, even in modern times, there was no feasible, effective and accurate treatment, only supportive therapy could be taken, and the most effective method was prevention.

For modern ordinary people, the perception of smallpox is only the small pox scar on the arm, which was left when inoculating and raising vaccines, and even many doctors only hear its name, but have never seen the real smallpox attack. So let Wang Ping'an say how to treat it, he can't say it, even if he uses a familiar method to plant pox, he must practice it from scratch, and he can't directly say that I can prevent this disease!

He shook his head and said, "The student is not good at medicine, and he has not been able to find a cure for smallpox!" ”

After hearing this, the eldest grandson Wuji was disappointed, slowly let go of Wang Ping'an's hand, and said, "If we can really find a cure for smallpox, how good it would be." What kind of meritorious service, the marquis worships the prime minister, and even the statue on the Lingyan Pavilion, compared with it, it is nothing, this is the real merit in the future, famous in history! With that, he sighed again and again, shaking his head!

Wang Ping'an hummed and agreed, he cleared his throat and said, "But the students have come up with a way to prevent smallpox after research. ”

The eldest grandson Wuji was stunned for a moment, suddenly raised his hand, slapped Wang Ping'an heavily, and said angrily: "You kid, why do you talk and pant for breath, and fool the old man well." ”

Wang Ping'an was slapped by him and grinned, thinking: "How can I speak and pant for breath, you asked me if there is a cure, and I answered truthfully no, you yourself began to sigh, what do you care about me!" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji smiled: "Let's talk about it, what have you researched, and how to prevent it?" ”

Wang Ping'an rubbed his shoulders and said, "If you want to prevent it, you must first get smallpox ......."

"It's really unreasonable to come to entertain the old man again!" The eldest grandson Wuji stroked his beard, almost pulling off a few roots, he said: "It's all smallpox, how can we talk about prevention!" ”

Wang Ping'an said: "Lord Eldest Sun, you listen to the students." Have you noticed that cows can also get smallpox? He gestured to the beef sauce on his plate.

Wang Ping'an pointed at this, which startled the eldest grandson Wuji, and he said: "The old man has not studied it, how can he know?" Can cows get smallpox too? This is the first time I've heard of it! ”

Wang Ping'an said again: "The eldest grandson must know about the disease of cowpox, right?" ”

The eldest grandson Wuji nodded and said, "Of course this old man knows, it's a kind of rinderpest!" What, what is the relationship between cowpox and smallpox, could it be that they are a disease? ”

Cowpox is a relatively mild form of smallpox, which was not identified until the end of the eighteenth century by the father of immunology, Jeanne, and once he summed it up, smallpox was brought under control.

Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "Lord Eldest Sun is right, I ...... Gu has been observing in my Wuli village for many years, and I have come to the conclusion that cowpox is a type of smallpox, which is acquired by cattle, but it can also be transmitted to people! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji screamed, and Tengdi stood up and shouted: "No wonder smallpox was spread from the grassland, and it turned out that it was transmitted to people by cattle!" Great, smallpox is a terrible disease, and now that we know its source, we can prevent it! ”

Wang Ping'an said with a smile: "Exactly, smallpox can be prevented......"

Before he finished speaking, he listened to the eldest grandson Wuji say: "The old man will go to report to the emperor and ask the emperor to order that all the ploughing cattle be killed immediately, so as to exterminate smallpox!" The smallpox disease is really terrible, if you can save hundreds of people in the world by killing cows, then these cattle should all die! ”

Wang Ping'an sighed and said, "This ...... Not necessarily! ”
