Chapter 363: About Cowpox
Governor Yao learned that Gu Ye was back, and once asked his wife to bring his two daughters and youngest son to visit. However, this mother pounced on her, because of this drug idiot, she threw herself into her laboratory!
Gu Ye rummaged through a lot of books, materials, and even the medical materials in the computer in the space, which were also used by her, and finally figured out the cause of the so-called cowpox. No way, who said that the smallpox virus in the previous life was extinct, and the pox stopped decades ago?
Now the priority is to find a cow infected with the virus! Gu Ye was worried, where to find a cow infected with smallpox virus? After tossing and turning for a few days, Gu Ye had no choice but to carry the jade pendant that represented the palace in person and ascended to the gate of the Hidden Treasure Pavilion.
The manager of the Hidden Treasure Pavilion, Ning Steward, naturally knew the identity of this little aunt and grandmother, and hurriedly invited her to the private room on the third floor of the Hidden Treasure Pavilion as a top guest of honor. Just kidding, he got the news, this little aunt and grandmother are the little daughter-in-law set by the palace for herself, and she can't be lazy.
The old customers who selected gifts in the Hidden Treasure Pavilion looked at Steward Ning's courteous appearance, and they were very puzzled: What is the origin of this little girl, so that Steward Ning, who has always been arrogant, treats him like this?
Gu Ye explained his intention. She felt that she might be a little strong, after all, cattle infected with the smallpox virus are likely to be found in smallpox-infected areas. If it's not good, it will kill someone!
Steward Ning listened, and without saying a word, he patted his chest and promised: "This will be handed over to our Hidden Soul Palace, and we guarantee that in less than two months, we will be able to get you a few qualified cows to come over!" ”
Gu Ye hurriedly said: "You don't need to bring the cow over, just take the virus sample from the cow!" When taking samples, you must be careful, your own safety is the most important thing. "She didn't want Brother Chen's hidden guards to put their lives at risk. The document reads: Even in modern times, there is no good cure for smallpox!
Gu's Pharmaceutical's Miss Gu, who was studying the news of smallpox vaccine, was brought back to the government by Mrs. Yao. When Governor Yao heard this, he couldn't sit still. The vaccination of pox vaccine has become popular in the north. His fold was handed to the emperor, and he was greatly praised by the emperor, and asked him and the surrounding state capitals to fully cooperate with the vaccination work.
The emperor learned that the Gu family had almost zero profits, and the vaccines provided to the people were the same as children's medicines. Emperor Zhaorong praised Gu's righteous deeds in the court, and gave the plaque "Benevolent Benevolence" written by the imperial pen, and gave countless rewards of gold taels, silk and satin, pearl and agate.
Gu Ye originally took pity on the children and couldn't bear them to be tortured by illness, so he was vaccinated against pox at a low price. The cost of the drugs used is not high, and it is not that they have not made a penny as they say outside, but they do not plan to make a lot of money in this area.
Her pharmaceutical factory, light pills and granules, created enough profits for her to squander, this kind of medicine that is beneficial to the people, especially for the children, is also at ease if she makes less money.
I didn't expect to get the emperor's reward! The Gu family's pharmaceutical factory, but it was named in front of the emperor, who would dare to make trouble in the future? Gu Ye hung the plaque written by the emperor himself at the right door of the parlor of the pharmaceutical factory, this guy's deterrent effect is comparable to a holy decree!
When the Yao Governor's Mansion gave a reward to Gu's Pharmaceutical, almost half of the powerful gentry of Yancheng were present. If you don't know each other, you all congratulate Old Man Gu. In the entire Yancheng, except for the Jun family, Gu's Pharmaceutical is fortunate to keep the emperor's Mobao. Even the people nearby were walking around in front of the pharmaceutical factory, touching the fortune of the Son of Heaven and the joy of the Gu family.
And Governor Yao, because of his active cooperation with vaccination, was affirmed and rewarded by the Son of Heaven. After the four-year term, he will definitely be able to get an excellent performance evaluation, which is not running! This is also a blessing for the family. Now, the little girl of the Gu family is going to study a vaccine for smallpox, if she succeeds, then it will be a good thing for the future!
Governor Yao came to Gu's house that night and expressed his support for Gu Ye's research, if there was a need for medicinal materials or money, he could mention it directly, and he would report to the imperial court to win the support of the imperial court for them.
Gu Ye thought about it, such a thing that is good for the people, she did it alone, and her reputation was too great, and it might not be a good thing. simply let Governor Yao pass the bright place at the emperor's place. She is only responsible for research and development, and if the operation is completed, it will be handed over to the imperial court!
She communicated her ideas about "cowpox" with Governor Yao. Governor Yao pondered for a moment and said: "In the past, the people of the previous dynasty had the clothes of smallpox people to avoid pox, but only a few succeeded. The smallpox on this cow is used on people, are you sure that there will be no problems? ”
"Don't worry! I'm sure enough! As long as it is not an isolated case of body immunity problems, there will be no danger for normal people to be vaccinated with cowpox! "Decades of vaccinia vaccination in the previous life are enough to verify the results, and Gu Ye is still relatively confident in this.
Governor Yao hesitated for a long time, and when he couldn't make up his mind, he gave an excerpt to the emperor, and simply said the method of vaccination on the excerpt, and at the same time expressed his worries. The smallpox virus is nothing else, it can destroy several cities by accident, and Governor Yao does not dare to make a decision on his own, so leave this problem to the emperor and ministers.
The excerpt of Yao's prefect caused a strong response in the court. As he expected, the ministers of the court were divided into two factions: one was the opposition, which accounted for the majority of the court. It is believed that smallpox is extremely contagious and has a high mortality rate, and if the smallpox virus spreads out uncontrolled and spreads during the pharmacist's research, it will be a disaster for the Northland.
The other faction was supportive: the ministers of this faction believed that if the pharmacist could succeed in making cowpox to prevent smallpox, the people of Dongling would not be threatened by smallpox. Historically, countless people have been killed by the smallpox virus.
In the face of disease, what is power and money? No one is immune. Now that there is a chance to prevent and eradicate this terrible plague, why not try it?
Minority arguments: Since this great pharmacist was able to successfully produce a vaccine to prevent measles, and saved the lives of measles patients, he avoided a disaster. He must have the ability and confidence to complete the development of the smallpox vaccine!
Among them, the newly promoted Hubu Shangshu looked at the old lady who had the most fierce opposition, and said slowly: "Perhaps, there is a certain danger in the development process. But you can't waste food because of choking, as long as you operate it properly, this matter is promising, Your Majesty! ”
The old lady knelt on the ground and cried: "No, your majesty! Once smallpox erupts, it is difficult to control and is likely to destroy several state capitals. Don't do it at this time, Your Majesty! The eldest son and eldest grandson of the old minister, when they were in office, contracted smallpox and were robbed of their lives! The people of the entire county were not spared. The old minister can't bear to see Yancheng repeat the mistakes of the past! ”
