"Is it merciful?" Li Kang muttered, then walked forward and commanded loudly: "Inform the Cabinet Chief, the Privy Council Chief, and the Commander General of the Privy Council, and convene a high-level joint meeting in the propaganda room of the auditorium in half an hour. ”

“... No!" When Fang Yizhi answered, he suddenly shuddered, and he had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, half an hour later, Fang Yizhi's premonition unfortunately came true.

Li Kang still did not give up and threw out his 'smallpox reduction' strategy at the high-level joint meeting.

Unfortunately for Fang Yizhi, but fortunately for Li Kang, this time it was finally no longer a one-sided moral condemnation, and Guan Zhong, the chief of internal affairs, the commander of the navy, and Meng Tian, the deputy minister of communications, all chose to support Li Kang with a clear banner.

This made Li Kang very pleased.

"Your Majesty, how can we transport the smallpox virus to Hedong, and how can we prevent it from breaking out on the way?" said Li Shizhen, the chief health officer, who neither supported nor opposed his statement just now, but now from his questioning, Li Kang could know that he was actually inclined to oppose it in his heart.

This question is indeed the key, the reason why the famous doctors didn't raise it before may be because they were resolutely opposed from the beginning, and they didn't need to think about this issue at all, and Li Shizhen raised it at this time, not because he was willing to consider Li Kang's 'big plan', but purely to create obstacles for Li Kang's 'big plan', so that Li Kang knew the difficulty and retreated.

Li Kang remembered that in the past, European colonists seemed to have spread the smallpox virus in the Americas by selling the clothes and bedding used by smallpox patients to the Indians.

It's just that how they saved it on the road and how they ensured that they didn't infect their own people, Li Kang didn't know.

Who is Shan Li Kang, he is the generalissimo of the Chinese shogunate, if you don't understand, just ask a professional person.

"Li Qing is an expert in this area, and I was about to ask you for advice!" Li Kang said bluntly.

"......" Li Shizhen was stunned for a moment, and then felt bitter in his heart, not to mention that he himself was against this matter, even if he supported it, he didn't dare to share his worries for Li Kang, he was afraid of being poked in the back, and he was even more afraid that he would not be able to gain a foothold in the medical field.

Therefore, Li Shizhen didn't want to think about it, and shook his head decisively: "The minister is dull, I can't think of a way." ”

[I don't believe it, without Zhang Butcher, you won't be able to eat hairy pigs, and it's a big deal to let people who have grown cowpox bring it over when the time comes. Li Kang thought hatefully, anyway, he didn't plan to do it now, now that Hedong was fighting happily, he didn't want to work hard to transport the smallpox virus over and just help them stop the war, just like the Spanish flu ended the war to a certain extent.

"Your Majesty..."This time, it was Guan Zhong, the chief of internal affairs who spoke with a supportive attitude, so Li Kang nodded at him very kindly and encouraged him to express his 'high opinion'.

As a result, Guan Zhong was not 'cooperative' at all, but instead said a shortcoming of this strategy.

"Your Majesty, your subordinates have watched all the information of this 'smallpox', and found that most of the infected people are thin and weak people, but there is no case of martial artists, does it mean that martial artists are immune to smallpox, or have a certain degree of resistance, so, smallpox reduction can indeed be tried, but the minister hopes that the monarch will not have too much expectations, after all, the practice of martial arts in Hedong and Hexi has become popular, maybe the effect is not as great as imagined. ”

This is indeed a problem, Li Kang's enthusiasm was instantly reduced by half, but Guan Zhong's words were not just pouring cold water on Li Kang, he also effectively dispelled some of the concerns of the 'false defenders', since the harm is not great, it is not a matter of harming nature and reason, since there are no moral concerns, then it is not so embarrassing to turn to support Li Kang half-pushing, after all, as a courtier, it is best not to be with the king.

Li Kang quickly understood this meaning, as long as his ears were not deaf, the sound of many people who were relieved was not inaudible.

So, in the end, most of them were resolutely opposed, and most of them 'can try', but this brilliant result did not make Li Kang happy. But most people are satisfied with this result.

After getting this result, Qi Jiguang and Yue Fei were both relaxed and disappointed in their hearts, and the feeling of suffering from gains and losses was even more uncomfortable than the pure disappointment of Kaifeng.

At this point, the discussion of the 'smallpox reduction' strategy that Li Kang suddenly stimulated came to an end.

......

The 'Li Ji applique' on Heping Road in Xin'an Town is a private shop specializing in selling paper-cutting and flower yellow, and the owner Li Fu used to be a paper-cutting expert and a craftsman.

"Boss Li, is the double happiness I ordered with you yesterday ready today?" Gao Caimao walked in and shouted to the busy shopkeeper behind the counter.

Li Fu glanced up, immediately recognized Gao Caimao, and couldn't help but smile on his face, this guy ordered a big order yesterday, and he stayed up with his son for half the night last night to barely finish it.

"Hehe, the little brother is here, it's all ready..."Li Fu said as he wrung out two large packages from under the counter, "You see that they are all wrapped for you, a total of fifty sheets per pack, or please click on it." ”

"Naturally, you have to take inventory. Gao Caimao said with a smile, this is not for himself, for a friend, you must be more dedicated, otherwise it will be too embarrassing if something goes wrong.

Li Fuye didn't care, he opened the package very happily and asked Gao Caimao to count, there were no guests at this time, so he simply stood aside and chatted with Gao Caimao.

"Hey, the guest is going to get married?"

"Me? You misunderstood, this is running errands for a friend, and he wants to get married!" Gao Caimao raised his head and said.

"It's good to get married, Chong Chong is happy, and the bad luck of the past is washed away. Li Fu said with a smile, "The stinky boy in my family is not angry, and he brings a girl to the house, and a girl from the Han family can't handle it." ”

"yes, it was a scary time ago. Gao Caimao sighed, a while ago he naturally referred to the time when smallpox broke out in the Marshal's Mansion, "Hey, fortunately, thanks to the decisiveness of the king, smallpox was not rampant, but it was a pity for those livestock who died unjustly." ”

"Who said it wasn't!Hehe, those officials and masters have fallen into blood mold..."Li Fu said gloatingly, but immediately became sad again, "The guest is a scholar at first glance, tell me, will smallpox break out again?"

"You are too exalted to me, how do I know this?" Gao Caimao rolled his eyes and said, "Those things that famous doctors can't be sure of, how can I, a layman, know... But don't worry about it, it's a headache for meat eaters... Doesn't it mean that Doctor Zhang and Doctor Hua are all studying the technique of cowpox, as long as the technique of vaccinia inoculation can be successfully applied, everyone will use it at that time, and there is no need to be afraid of smallpox!"

"Really?"
