Chapter 2120 - Thinking Too Much

"I can yield about 50 stone per mu in one season, which I think is already very good. In fact, not to mention that the yield per mu is fifty stones, but the yield per mu is twenty or thirty stones, I think they are all beautiful! ”

"What are you doing with all this? I think very simply, with sweet potatoes, there will be fewer and fewer hungry people! ”

"Sweet potatoes are coarse grains."

"What's wrong with coarse grains? What kind of whole grains have you eaten that can be eaten both raw and cooked? What kind of whole grains have you eaten, which is sweet, soft and glutinous? ”

"Look at you're in a hurry, I'll just say that."

……

The people outside the palace were in a very excited mood and were constantly discussing, and the three sentences in their mouths were almost related to the giant leaf summer, and it was related to the sweet potato with a yield of about fifty stones per mu, and no one knew that in this same time period,

The atmosphere in the palace was tense and condensed, the palace door was closed, and in order to prevent someone from leaving the East Palace, the Imperial Forest Army with weapons in hand was ordered by the emperor to guard around the East Palace.

"Xia Xia, I'm fine, you just let me stay here and take care of Rui'er!"

Ye Qingxin had tears in her eyes, saying that she didn't want to isolate anything, and didn't want to be separated from her son Xia Chengrui, looking at her, Ye Xia's facial expression was not unusual, but a pair of eyes were clear and calm, locked on Ye Qingxin:

"The queen mother knows, the minister is doing this for your safety, if you have smallpox, or have been vaccinated with human pox, the courtier will not stop you from staying and taking care of His Royal Highness the Prince.

According to the memories left by the original owner, Ye Xia knew that in the early days of the founding of Great Xia, there were rumors that a divine doctor helped the son of a high-ranking official successfully plant pox, but it was only a rumor, and there was no information to record it.

So much so that more than 40 years ago, someone in a city located at the border pass in Daxia suffered from smallpox and could not be treated in time, and the officials in the city failed to take isolation measures in time.

caused smallpox to spread in that city, and when it was discovered, the imperial court sent garrisons near the city to besiege the city to control the smallpox virus from spreading out of the city.

People are still infected, and it is said that the smallpox epidemic ended up killing tens of thousands. The corpses were piled up and burned and buried, so that the smallpox virus could spread farther away. In one village, hundreds of people died in almost the entire village.

Knowing the contagiousness of the smallpox virus, and knowing that Ye Qingxin, the sister-in-law, had never had smallpox or pox, Ye Xia naturally couldn't leave her to take care of Xia Chengrui closely.

"Xia Xia...... My sister is a child like Rui'er, if he has three longs and two shorts, my sister doesn't know if she can still live? ”

Tears rolled down Ye Qingxin's cheeks, her expression was sad, and she had no intention of leaving at all. There will be no outsiders in the hall, just Ye Xia and Ye Qingxin, therefore, Ye Xia sighed secretly, his facial expression softened slightly, but he asked Ye Qingxin very seriously:

"Sister, don't you believe in my medical skills? Also, as I said, not long ago, I learned through a miscellaneous book that cowpox might prevent smallpox, so I couldn't help but study one or two.

After coming to a conclusion, I gave myself first, and planted cowpox for Yan'er and their brothers and sisters a few days apart, originally I planned to wait for the results of Yan'er's and their brothers and sisters' pox.

Then vaccinate the tenants in Zhuangzi, and further implement that there is no big risk in planting cowpox, so they informed the imperial court of this method of preventing smallpox from cowpox, and the imperial court promoted it throughout Bactria to inoculate all the people of Bactria with cowpox......"

Without waiting for Ye Xia to continue, Ye Qingxin confirmed with tears: "Is Rui'er really okay?" Can vaccinia really prevent smallpox? ”

Ye Xia's eyes were stained with helplessness: "Sister, do you think I can joke with you about this kind of thing?" There are dozens and nearly hundreds of people in this East Palace, these are all human lives, not to mention that Rui'er is my own nephew, you are my own sister, can I disregard human life and open my mouth? ”

After a slight pause, Ye Xia's eyes were serious and calm: "Believe me, I will definitely make Rui'er better and do my best to save the lives of everyone in the East Palace." ”

There are a large number of smallpox vaccines and packets of cowpox powder that will be stored in the Qing Dynasty in the space, in order to prevent smallpox from spreading within the East Palace, and even out of the East Palace, to the entire palace,

She made a series of arrangements in front of her, seemingly taking out the cowpox powder from the medicine box, but in fact, she "smuggled" out of the space and explained to the two imperial doctors who had smallpox, according to what she said.

The people of the East Palace were checked and vaccinated one by one.

As for why he didn't take out the smallpox vaccine and inject it directly, it was because Ye Xia didn't want to spend more time making up stories to explain at this juncture, and he didn't want to be taken out afterwards to talk about it.

After all, the smallpox vaccine is not something that can be produced in this era, and once it comes out, the story is really not easy to make up casually, and the cowpox powder and the miscellaneous books she said, the research,

said that she and the three little guys were vaccinated with cowpox, these are true, in her space, there is indeed a yellowed ancient book and miscellaneous books, not long ago, she did vaccinate herself and the three little guys with cowpox,

And there is a cow that is overgrown with cowpox on the Zhuangzi, and there is a person guarding the cow, and at the same time finding three cows covered with cowpox in the other two Zhuangzi in the hand,

Collect cowpox pus to make powder and store it so that it can be inoculated by Mama Chen, Hao Fu and others and the tenants on Zhuangzi after a while, and then Mrs. Ye will present the method of planting cowpox to the dog emperor.

But things in the world are so coincidental, today, just today, the little prince was suffering from smallpox, and for a while Ye Xia really sighed involuntarily, coincidentally, so coincidentally, as if everything was destined in the dark,

Let her take out the method of planting cowpox to prevent smallpox today, and spread it in the Great Xia, so that the people of this era will not be affected by the smallpox virus again.

"No, my sister didn't disbelieve you, my sister was just worried about having a ......"

After the words stopped, Ye Qingxin stopped her tears, and her eyes instantly became firm: "I listen to you, no longer stay here, you can inoculate me!" ”

Ye Xia didn't hesitate and nodded in response. Wearing the white protective clothing she would make by the palace people in Daqing, wearing a disinfectant mask, Ye Xia took off the surgical gloves, washed his hands and poisoned them,

Acting neatly, inoculating Ye Qingxin with cowpox, and then she planted cowpox for Rong Fang, who was waiting outside the hall and serving Ye Qingxin closely, and told the two of them some precautions, and watched Ye Qingxin's master and servant go to the side hall for isolation, leaving Xia Chengrui alone to take care of the little prince's diet and daily life.

"Auntie......"

Xia Chengrui woke up from his slumber and saw clearly that it was Ye Xia beside him, the child pulled the corners of his mouth, and squeezed out a light and well-behaved smile: "Auntie, I will survive, right?" ”

"Hmm."

Ye Xia smiled in her eyes and nodded: "Rui'er is so well-behaved, she will definitely not be defeated by the disease, besides, there is an aunt who is here to help Rui'er heal, as long as Rui'er is obedient and obedient, and does not scratch the small acne on her face and body, in a few days, those acne will automatically scab and fall off, and your aunt's Rui'er will be able to regain her health." ”

If you send out all the pox, and have her spiritual spring water to recuperate, even if you don't use spiritual spring water, only use the medicine in the space, the child will not have to worry about life.

"Rui'er listens to her aunt's words, Rui'er doesn't tickle, Rui'er will be obedient...... Rui'er likes her aunt and loves ......."

Xia Chengrui knew that he was very sick, his face and body were so itchy, he woke up for a while before, saw that the imperial doctors were busy consulting him, and saw the worry and anxiety and tears in the eyes of the queen mother,

At that moment, he knew that he must be not lightly ill, otherwise, the imperial doctors would not be arguing, and the results of the consultation would not be available for a long time, and the queen mother would not worry about being like that, and now even his aunt, who has good medical skills, has come, which shows that he is indeed not lightly ill. However, he believed in his aunt, who was gentle and kind, and who was very good at medicine, would heal him.

"Aunt knows, aunt knows that our Rui'er is a good child, go to sleep when you're tired, and your aunt will accompany you!"

Although she couldn't see the expression on Ye Xia's face, the smile lingering in her soft and quiet eyes, and her kind and smiling voice full of doting made Xia Chengrui feel extremely relieved.

"Rui'er wants to drink water."

"Okay, Auntie, I'll feed you water."

There was a warm white open on the table, Ye Xia dripped a little spiritual spring water into it, and fed the child with a small spoon for almost half a cup.

"Would you like to drink more?"

Seeing the child shaking his head, Ye Xia asked softly.

"Nope."

Xia Chengrui responded. Putting the water cup back on the table, Ye Xia sat back on the edge of the bed, and listened to the child's weak tone and asked, "Auntie, is Rui'er ugly now?" ”

"It's not ugly, our Rui'er is just sick, and when the illness is cured, these acne will disappear, and our Rui'er is the white and handsome Prince His Royal Highness in the past."

The child's bare two steps and hands are not satisfied with small red pimples, looking at it, to be honest, it is quite infiltrating, especially for people with intensive disease, it is estimated that they will faint at a glance.

"When you're tired, close your eyes and rest, and your aunt will tell you a story."

The child closed his eyes very obediently, listened to his aunt's soft voice drifting into his ears, listened to the interesting stories told by his aunt, and gradually fell asleep.

"Cowpox? Collecting cowpox pus and operating it on this paper can prevent smallpox? ”

Emperor Yongkang's face was solemn, and he pinched several pieces of paper full of words in his hand, and looked at Xia Mohan, the king of Jing. This was handed out by An Renbo himself from the crack in the door of the East Palace, and An Renbo said that everything was fine when she was vaccinated with cowpox.

It is also said that his three sons and daughters have also been vaccinated with cowpox and have not shown any symptoms. However, even if there was a slight fever after vaccinia, An Renbo said that it was fine. This will be inside the East Palace,

An Renbo has made arrangements, but all the palace people who have had smallpox are disinfecting the entire East Palace, and those who have not had smallpox are consciously isolated, and the two imperial doctors who have had smallpox will check and inoculate cowpox one by one. ”

"How did An Renbo know that Rui'er was suffering from smallpox? How did you come to the palace with cowpox powder so coincidentally? ”

Emperor Yongkang was thoughtful.

"This An Renbo told me that she rode back to the city from Zhuangzi, first went to the house to get the medicine box, and then rushed to the palace. And the cowpox pus she collected before was made into powder by her and happened to be in the medicine box, so it happened to be used today. ”

Xia Mohan said truthfully, and seeing that Emperor Yongkang was silent, he couldn't help but say again:

"What is the emperor worried about? A major event like this, no matter who it is, will not be taken out to joke about. Besides, An Renbo is not alone, she has children,

There is a mother's family, and they will never risk the lives of their relatives with you.

Besides, now trapped in the East Palace is not only Rui'er, the prince who has suffered from smallpox, but also the queen's mother, they are all An Renbo's relatives! ”

Emperor Yongkang was still silent, seeing this, Xia Mohan couldn't help but accentuate his tone: "Your Majesty, my brother really doesn't know what you're thinking about, what are you worried about?" If you have other options,

It's okay not to use the pox method that An Renbo said, but do you have it? Now, we are facing the entire palace, and even the entire capital may be filled with smallpox, at this critical moment, if you don't make a decision, it's really hard for the ministers to understand. In this way, when the cowpox pus is collected, the younger brother will be the first to be vaccinated. ”

"I'm afraid that the East Palace has already been vaccinated more than half, or even completed."

Emperor Yongkang said, pursed his lips, and made a decision: "Do what An Renbo wrote on this paper, and strive to vaccinate everyone in the palace as soon as possible." ”

"Smallpox", also known as pox, is very contagious, as soon as he recalls the "catastrophe" caused by smallpox decades ago, Emperor Yongkang couldn't help but stiffen, he would not have been born,

Not to mention that he had personally experienced or seen it, just judging from the records in the history books of Great Xia, it had already frightened him enough. It was an incurable disease, suffering from smallpox, and there was no need to worry about being infected for the rest of your life, but not many people survived......

"Brother obeys."

Xia Mohan responded, turned around and walked away quickly. Emperor Yongkang sat back on the chair behind the imperial case, his eyes locked on the paper full of words in his hand, if this method of planting cowpox written by An Renbo can really prevent smallpox, then there is no need to think about it, it is definitely a great credit, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a credit in the future!

Word by word, line by line, he carefully looked at the pieces of paper in his hand again, and Emperor Yongkang suddenly despised himself, according to what was written on this piece of paper, what reason did he have to question An Renbo?

Is An Renbo not careful enough to write or is An Renbo's character not trustworthy?

Look, look at what is written on this paper, there are descriptions of the symptoms before smallpox, there are explanations of how to isolate, treat, and care, and there are detailed descriptions of the specific manifestations of each stage of smallpox......

In short, from these pieces of paper, it is not difficult to see An Renbo's understanding of smallpox.

What's more, An Renbo personally vaccinated cowpox and vaccinated his own children, and he was skeptical about the method of smallpox prevention given by An Renbo a moment ago.

There is no problem with An Renbo's conduct, and he is the prince's aunt and sister, the queen's sister-in-law, such a person would joke with the lives of his relatives?

The corners of Emperor Yongkang's mouth lifted an arc of self-deprecation, and he was ashamed in his heart, feeling that his suspicion was too serious.

Through the investigation of the palace people in the East Palace through the partition wall, find out who has been in contact with the palace people of other palaces, and which people in this other palace have been in contact with, and whether they have been out of the palace gate.

After such a detailed investigation, in the past half a month, there are not many palace people who have gone out in the palace, and none of them have been in contact with the East Palace, and the people who have been in contact with the surrounding people have gone out to the palace gate, and Emperor Yongkang can't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

At least the control range of smallpox is in the palace, otherwise, it is not easy to screen, but even so, Emperor Yongkang did not take it lightly, and decided that if the method of planting cowpox to prevent smallpox is true and effective, he will launch it in the whole summer as soon as possible, and strive to plant cowpox on all the people under his rule and prevent smallpox for the whole people.

Seven days, only seven days, the results can be available, Yongkang Emperor has enough patience to wait.

Speaking of which, although Emperor Yongkang was not a palace person who had close contact with the East Palace this morning, he also stayed in the same space with the palace person who came to pass the word in the name of the prince, if it wasn't for the smallpox when he was a child and successfully survived, Emperor Yongkang felt that even if he was the emperor, in front of smallpox, it was estimated that it would be as difficult as ordinary people to sit still.

Then again, Emperor Yongkang is fine, but his queen and prince are all trapped in the East Palace, and one is directly suffering from smallpox, for this, Emperor Yongkang is undoubtedly worried.

Anxious, he always hopes that his queen and crown prince can turn the danger into a disaster and get out of the East Palace safely, but as an emperor, he has to be stable and not show the slightest uneasiness and panic.

so as not to cause more panic in this house. The palace door is closed, and the external argument is that the emperor has lost a very important treasure, and it needs to be strictly investigated in the entire palace, and the palace door will be opened after the thing is found.

For seven consecutive days, the officials did not go to the early court, but only handled official business in the yamen, and rumors were boiling in Beijing, discussing what kind of rare treasures the emperor had lost, causing the palace gate to be closed for seven days in a row.

Being in the palace does not prevent Emperor Yongkang from hearing about those rumors outside the palace, however, this emperor did not take it seriously, as the seven days passed, the entire palace went up to the palace masters, down to the little eunuchs and palace maids who ran errands,

All vaccinia is inoculated at designated locations in the palace. During this period, there was no shortage of people with a slight fever, but as Ye Xia said, it was fine.

This is the seventh day, in the imperial study, Emperor Yongkang looked at his younger brother King Jing: "Including the crown prince, except for three people in the East Palace who suffered from smallpox, no one else was found to be infected with smallpox.

Counting today, smallpox has appeared for seven days, and the condition of the prince and the two palace people has improved significantly, so it can be seen that the cowpox prevention smallpox given by An Renbo is really effective, and An Renbo has real skills in treating smallpox. ”

Being looked at directly by Emperor Yongkang, Xia Mohan's expression was as usual, and he said lightly: "The emperor is the king, how to reward An Renbo, I want to come to the emperor has his own ideas." ”

When Emperor Yongkang heard this, his expression was heavy, and his eyes became slightly obscure:

"It is not an exaggeration to say that An Renbo's great contribution is due in the future...... Speaking of which, this An Renbo is simply the lucky star of Great Xia, and he just discovered a coarse grain with a very high yield per mu like sweet potatoes.

Immediately afterwards, he gave a good way to prevent smallpox by planting cowpox, and for these two great achievements, to be honest, either one is enough to make a marquis, even a duke, but I just think it's strange, why did I ...... earlier?"

Emperor Yongkang did not say what he said, he believed that King Jing could understand his unfinished meaning.

"An Renbo may really have a great opportunity."

Xia Mohan's tone was light, and he looked at Emperor Yongkang: "As for how and when this great opportunity came, I don't think it is necessary for the emperor to get to the bottom of it." ”

Successive dynasties have not solved the problem of the people's full stomach, let alone smallpox, a highly contagious epidemic that everyone has heard of.

Some people have found that sweet potatoes that can be used as coarse grains to satisfy the stomach, and the yield per mu is as high as about 50 stones, giving an effective method that inoculating cowpox can prevent smallpox, needless to say, this is a great thing for the benefit of the country and the people.

Xia Mohan really couldn't understand Emperor Yongkang's thoughts. Emperor Yongkang was stunned for a long time, shook his head and smiled uncomfortably; "It's the royal brother who was confused for a while, and he thought too much."

"I just heard that the imperial brother said that An Renbo could have been made a marquis?"

Xia Mohan asked.

Emperor Yongkang touched his nose: "Don't look at the imperial brother so much, the imperial brother admits that when he knighted Rui'er and her aunt, he thought that she was a woman in the end, and it was not low to be crowned an earl, but this kind of cowpox prevention smallpox incident came out, and the imperial brother was deeply ashamed, it was the imperial brother who was narrow-minded and did not achieve the respect that a woman should really have." ”

"Not to mention the matter of sweet potatoes, the imperial brother should know that once this person has smallpox, there is no good way to cure it, and he can only resign himself to fate, and now An Renbo has helped the emperor and even the entire human race to solve this big problem, and personally took care of the prince in the East Palace, thinking that the emperor will definitely not treat An Renbo lightly."

After listening to Xia Mohan's words, Emperor Yongkang's expression became meaningful: "Are you helping An Renbo to ask for a reward, worried about the emperor's brother's childishness?" ”

Xia Mohan was speechless: "An Renbo needs the help of his younger brother to ask for a reward?" ”

People have real merits, as the emperor, they are not rewarded, is it reasonable?

Emperor Yongkang looked at Xia Mohan quietly, and suddenly laughed: "You kid is heartbeat, right?!" ”

Although it was a question, Emperor Yongkang obviously got the answer from Xia Mohan's expression and words, he laughed for a while, and said: "The imperial brother supports you to marry An Renbo and enter the door, and when you get married, the imperial brother will give a generous gift." ”

Xia Mohan was expressionless: "The emperor still hasn't finished the excerpt, you are busy, and the ministers will not bother here." ”

Getting up, Xia Mohan walked out of the imperial study without looking back, if you pay attention, it is not difficult to see that the tips of his ears are dyed a little pink.

Looking at the back of Xia Mohan leaving, Emperor Yongkang laughed again for a while before slowly putting away his laughter. The queen successfully planted pox, the prince recovered well, and this sudden smallpox was controlled in time.

Emperor Yongkang's mood was much lighter, and he felt that King Jing had moved his heart, and he felt that the tense and oppressive atmosphere that had permeated the entire palace in the past had completely dissipated.

However, Emperor Yongkang's expression became fierce in an instant, the light in his eyes was dark, and he tapped lightly on the imperial case, thinking about whether the prince's smallpox was hidden, and he didn't believe that the prince would suffer from smallpox.

After all, since the "smallpox catastrophe" decades ago, there has never been a case of smallpox in any area in the entire Great Xia.

At the same time, to be precise, Ye Qingxin was already thinking about the prince's smallpox when there was no adverse reaction to the vaccinia......

There are also updates.
