Chapter 131: Experiments

Jiang Yan's letter was sent out by the little guy on the door, and he only said that he was a distant relative, anyway, Yunzhou was so far away, and he was not afraid of being exposed.

Because of the distance from the capital, the letter only reached Xie Jingxing half a month later.

He looked at Jiang Yan's words in the letter and was suddenly shocked. This smallpox is a malignant disease, and the number of people who die on it every year is unknown, and it is a way to prevent human pox, but this method itself is also very dangerous, and people will die if they are not careful. Now with this cowpox method, it is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people! He has always been full of confidence in Jiang Yan, and after reading the letter, he believed what she said, and began to think about how to promote it.

He is now in the army, in the end, this matter should be carried out by the government, and after the experiment is successful, he will submit it to the imperial court, so that he can spread this cowpox method to the Central Plains as soon as possible.

It's just that he believes Jiang Yan's words, but the prefect will definitely not listen to him, a prince of the Houmen and a person in the army, in short, there is no one whose identity is related to the doctor. You have to experiment with real people to make people believe it.

It's just that this method is really novel, he has never heard of it before, if he didn't believe Jiang Yan, he would have scoffed when he heard cowpox, how can a beast like a cow be compared to a human! He thinks like this, where ordinary people are willing to try, Xie Jingxing can't force others.

On the one hand, he asked people to find out the cow with pox, and on the other hand, he asked people to inquire about the people who had smallpox, and there must be people around those people who were afraid of being infected and were willing to give it a try, and finally Xie Jingxing went to the government office and asked the prefect to borrow a few death row prisoners.

In the end, Xie Jingxing originally thought that it would take a lot of words, but he didn't expect the prefect to ask much, so he agreed that he could take people in for half an hour every day, which was not at all the same as the old-fashioned old master in his original impression.

But things are better than twists and turns, and Xie Jingxing took the doctor to inoculate those people with cowpox that day.

In fact, if it weren't for Buguang Yong'an's death, he would have wanted to go on it himself. He hadn't had smallpox yet, so sooner or later he was going to plant it. Fortunately, he was still sane, thinking about the chaos in the house after he appeared to be suspected of smallpox, he was persuaded to come down in the end.

In the following days, Xie Jingxing let people run to prison every day if it was inconvenient for him. Those death row inmates benefited from this, they were waiting for death, first suddenly took a bath, which was rare to be refreshed and clean, and then they had a good meal, and the cell was also cleaned, so that they thought that the severed head meal was in advance. Fortunately, a jailer came to explain, and then I don't know what was painted on my broken arm, but the treatment has not changed at all.

These people had a pox on the first day, and on the second day, they developed pimples around the wound, and they did not have a tendency to spread to the whole body like a normal pox. However, after more than ten days, the pimple suppurated and scabbed off, leaving only a scar the size of a fingernail after the scab, and there were no other sequelae.

Yongan was overjoyed to see it, which at least proved that cowpox is harmless to the human body and can be used for the next experiment. He hurriedly reported the matter to Xie Jingxing. It just so happened that Buguang had found a man with smallpox, their village was poor, and there was no doctor, so he didn't notice it at first, and thought it was a fever, but several people had been infected in a few days.

Hearing the news, Xie Jingxing immediately rushed over there with the doctors in the house, and before that, they all had cowpox on themselves. Buguang Yongan didn't stop it, and he took the initiative to follow it. At this time, the doctor knew that he was in contact with the method of preventing smallpox, and he was so excited that he couldn't kneel down for Xie Jingxing, although he didn't find out, but he participated in it from beginning to end, this is a big event that will leave a name for eternity! Maybe he'll be able to get a pickup!

When Xie Jingxing took the people to the village, everyone there was already in danger, and the homes of those who had smallpox were all fenced off, and everyone did not dare to contact them, only a few people in the village who had smallpox went to take care of them, and their families and people who had been in contact with them were also gathered together, waiting to see what happened after that.

The people in the village are under a lot of pressure, and the news of smallpox has already spread, and now the people in the surrounding villages are afraid to go here, even if the smallpox people are better, they will not be able to recover here for a while.

I heard that an adult brought a doctor to prevent smallpox, although everyone was skeptical, but they have been tortured for a long time, and it is not a human life to worry about every day. It's better to have a way than to wait hopelessly.

Although everyone was a little silent and hesitant when they saw a cow.

"Is this going to work? Can this cow heal? ”

Everyone was a little tempted, but worried, and they refused to be the first.

Xie Jingxing saw that many people were hesitant, so he directly found the village chief, showed him his tooth tag, assured him that it would not hurt people at least, and showed him the pit marks left by the pox on the arms of several of his people.

When the village chief saw this, he was relieved, there was no need for such a big official to lie to them.

The village chief walked directly to the doctor and said to the villagers who were still around: "This is Lord Yunzhou Dusi Xie!" I heard that we had smallpox here, so I brought the doctor here. I know that everyone is hesitant in their hearts, but adults really love the people, this method has been experimented and effective, so don't worry! ”

In fact, several people brought by Xie Jingxing have shouted this, and they have also testified against themselves, but the villagers are still hesitant, if they give people medicine, everyone will not object, but this cow is really unreliable.

As soon as the village chief said this, they immediately believed it, and in the countryside, the village chief's words were much more credible than that of a high-ranking official who did not know where. On the first day, more than a dozen people were infected with pox.

Xie Jingxing looked at the people who were still queuing and smiled bitterly, but he didn't expect his words to be as effective as an old man.

sighed, Xie Jingxing saw that the cold day sweat came out when the house doctor was busy, and hurriedly went up to help. He knows a little about medicine, and it's no problem to get a pox.

In the next few days, Xie Jingxing was here, and he hurried back to the border camp until the end of the holiday.

The smallpox in the village was gradually brought under control, and everyone found that more than ten days had passed, and no one who had ever planted smallpox had really been infected with smallpox, and this method was really useful!

Even the village chief who supported him from the beginning couldn't believe it, he just felt that he couldn't die, and he didn't dare to offend the four pins, otherwise these adults would have a temper, and their small village would have no way to live. Although this man seems to have a good temper and thinks about the people, it is always right to be careful. I didn't expect this adult to be joking, this cowpox can really prevent smallpox!

Xie Jingxing was in the army, and his name and the cowpox method also spread along the surrounding villages. Although he said that someone else told him, everyone didn't know that person, and when he mentioned cowpox, he only said that he was a person with a high official position and a famous reputation.

In this era when everyone heard about smallpox, one day said that someone could have a way to prevent smallpox, and the speed of the news spread completely broke through the limitations of manpower and material resources in this era, and everyone ran to tell each other, but in a few days, Yunzhou City heard that there was a Xie Dusi who brought people to the village to successfully prevent smallpox.

Xie Jingxing's speed was naturally faster than these news, and he had already revised a letter to the prefect of Yunzhou, attaching the before and after experiences and the effects of cowpox. Only then did the prefect know what he had done in the past when he asked for a few death row inmates.

For such a big event, the prefect of Yunzhou did not dare to delay, and immediately reported to the imperial court after the investigation found that what Xie Jingxing said was true.

At the same time, the Qing'an Hou Mansion in Beijing was also busy with this. After Xie Jingxing received Jiang Yan's letter, he had already sent the news to the Hou Mansion, Qing'an Hou was originally a little suspicious, after all, although his son knew some medical skills, but this was a basic skill, everyone knew some pharmacology, how could he suddenly discover the prevention and control method of smallpox, but he also knew such a big thing, Xie Jingxing could not talk nonsense, he asked people to do what the letter said, while waiting for the news from Yunzhou.

The Yunzhou prefect's fold is an expedited special delivery, which is much faster than the usual post station, and the Qing'an Hou has not yet tried to get a result, and the Yunzhou prefect's fold has already reached the emperor's case.

On the same day, the emperor urgently announced that the envoys of the Tai Hospital and others entered the palace, and the Qing'an Hou had already been aware of the movements of the Tai Hospital, and heard that it was the imperial doctor of the pox department who was summoned to see him, so he already knew it in his heart, and took out Xie Jingxing's letter and read it again. After a short time, someone came to the palace to spread the rumor that Qing'an Hou had entered the palace.

When the Marquis of Qing'an entered the Qianqing Palace, the Emperor Taishang and the Emperor had already discussed with the people in the Tai Hospital for a long time. The doctors still have doubts about whether this cowpox will work, and they only ask the emperor to give them a period of leniency, and then conduct one more experiment and promote it nationwide, so as not to have an accident.

Although the emperor was a little anxious, he agreed, this year because of the provincial affairs, the prestige of the emperor has risen to another level, and now there is finally something to stop the limelight for a moment, the emperor is happy to see that Xie Jingxing, who has spread this method, can't help but have some good feelings.

The eunuch next to him saw him staring at Xie Jingxing's letter, and hurriedly whispered his resume, and the emperor was stunned when he heard it, the honeycomb coal in the first year was also proposed by him, and this person was a little talented. At the beginning, Qing'an Hou offered this method, but it saved a lot of trouble, and there were a lot fewer rumors that were not conducive to the stability of the throne. Thinking about it this way, Qing'anhou also helped him a lot at the beginning.

The emperor was thinking about things beside him, and when the emperor saw the Marquis of Qing'an, he immediately excused him from saluting, and said to him with a smile: "Aiqing has given birth to a good son!" ”

Qing'an Hou didn't know why he said: "I don't dare to be ashamed, I don't know what the old sage means?" ”

The Emperor Taishang glanced at the emperor, and the emperor took out a book from the case, and the eunuch next to him hurriedly took it and gave it to Qing'an Hou. Qing'an Hou confessed, took it with both hands, and looked carefully. Sure enough, it was about cowpox. The prefect of Yunzhou wrote in detail the causes and consequences in the memoir, and also attached a letter from Xie Jingxing, which was also the main reason why the emperor called Qing'an Hou over.

Qing'anhou hurriedly said after reading the fold: "Xiao'er's letter a few days ago did say this, but the minister thought it was a coincidence, and he didn't take it to heart, and the minister almost missed the big thing." However, his mother has always been partial to him, and the people who have arranged a Zhuangzi have already had pox. At this point, I don't know what stage it will be. ”

Emperor Taishang smiled: "Jing Xing is also so big, you should trust him more." This time, he did something great for the benefit of the country and the people. ”

When the emperor heard that there had been an experiment, he said to the people in the Tai Hospital: "In this case, you should go to the Zhuangzi of the Marquis of Qing'an to study it, and the sooner you study it, the people will suffer less for a day." ”

Because the hospital has not yet given a definite answer, the emperor is not good at rewarding people with great fanfare, so he only left the Marquis of Qing'an to dine in the palace, and gave some royal pen and ink, just waiting for the matter to be settled, and then another reward.

When Qing'an Hou went back, he felt a little unreal, the emperor has always only had face affection for these old ministers, and this time he actually gave a banquet and rewarded pen and ink, this is the treatment that only his cronies have, and he actually got it today, or in front of the emperor, he was a little unclear about the emperor's intentions for a while, and the effect of a cowpox is so great?

No matter how the situation changes in Beijing, because of the eldest sister's acne, the Shengge Yan Dance in Jiafu is finally over.

Qingwen said: "Even if they know something, if they get in the way of the eyes of the second grandmother Lian, some of them will be able to bear it." ”

Wang Xifeng has been fasting and reciting Buddha for a while because of her daughter, and she is not so strict with her subordinates, and others don't believe it: "Second Grandma Lian has recently followed her wife to worship the pox Niangniang, but she is much more charitable." ”

Qingwen said: "That's because they didn't get in the way of the eldest sister, otherwise you see!" The whole family should not think about it. ”

Jiang Yan glanced at Qingwen without saying anything, a few days ago she went to the outer study because of the system task, Jia Lian's sperm worm was in the brain, and she couldn't help it for a few days, nominally fasting to accumulate blessings for her daughter, but in fact, she had already gotten together with Duo Girl, Duo Girl is Qingwen's cousin, if Wang Xifeng knew about this matter, it would be impossible to stop without making a mess.

Fortunately, this incident did not come out, otherwise Qingwen would have to be implicated, although she can't look down on her cousin's unproductiveness, in the end she is just such a relative. I usually help him often, and I take care of that cousin-in-law, and I give some clothes and jewelry. usually doesn't hide it, how can Wang Xifeng not know their relationship. If Wang Xifeng, the housekeeper, doesn't like her, she will be sad this day.

Qingwen didn't know what Jiang Yan was thinking, and was still saying, "Fortunately, the eldest sister is already well, I heard that I will send my mother in a few days, will you see it then?" ”

Everyone smiled and said: "Of course I want to go, when the time comes, I will sacrifice to the heavens and worship the ancestors, and I am willing to burn incense, and I will definitely give a reward after the celebration, how can we miss it!" ”

On this day, there was really a big event in the house, Wang Xifeng and Jia Lian had been separated for a long time, and as soon as the matter was over, he couldn't wait to move back to the yard. That eagerness really can't see that he sings in the outer study every night, from the delicate little girl to the romantic daughter-in-law.
