Chapter 427: The Imperial Concubine Goes to Sea

"I remember, there's a book!"

Wan Zhen'er suddenly got up, came to the bookcase on the side, and rummaged through.

Zhu Qizhen was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, I'll tell you the right thing!

I'm the emperor, and when I talk to you, I use such a polite word as "reluctant invitation", what are you running?

saw that Wan Zhen'er's mind was full of medical books, and she didn't seem to listen to her words at all.

"Your Majesty, please look, there is a record here!"

Wan Zhen'er came over with a book that she didn't know what the name was, Zhu Qizhen smiled awkwardly and reached out to take it.

In this book, it is recorded that since the Eastern Han Dynasty, after the soldiers returned from the horse aid and sent troops, they began to spread a kind of spot sores in the Central Plains.

…… It is like a fire sore, all wear white pulp, and they are born with the decision, and if they are not cured, the dramatists will die more. After being cured, the sores are purple and black, and the age is reduced, and this vicious breath is reduced.

"Your Majesty, there is still here!"

Wan Zhen'er handed over another book and turned to one of the pages:

…… Yonghui four years, this sores flow from the west to the east, all over the sea, boil sunflower vegetables, eat it with garlic, that is. At the beginning of the emergency food, less food can also be obtained, with Jianwu in Nanyang capture, still called a sore.

After reading it, Zhu Qizhen asked, "What about the treatment of this kind of spot sore?" ”

"There are many methods recorded, most of which are methods for removing poison, but they are ......"

Speaking of this, Wan Zhen'er's willow eyebrows raised slightly, as if she saw something strange.

"The son of Wang Dan, the prime minister of Song Zhenzong, asked the doctor of Mount Emei to plant pox because of smallpox, and he had pox on the seventh day, and the pox was very good, and the scab was scabbed on the thirteenth."

"Wait a minute!"

Zhu Qizhen suddenly thought of something and took the book in Wan Zhen'er's hand.

"The Miracle Doctor Grows ...... Pox"

Wan Zhen'er was puzzled and asked, "Does the emperor know this method?" ”

Zhu Qizhen didn't answer, but he was thinking in his head.

What kind of sores is a pox?

It's not smallpox!

He raised his head reluctantly and asked, "Look again, is there any similar record?" ”

Wan Zhen'er agreed, and continued to flip through the medical books on the shelves.

After a while, I finally found another one.

"Taiping County, Ningguo Prefecture, the surname is not examined, and the inheritance of the Dan family is different, which spreads all over the world, and so far the flower planters, Ningguo people are the majority...... Your Majesty, is this what you are talking about? ”

"Exactly!"

Wan Zhen'er nodded, and then marked out all the records and treatments for spots, and put them together.

Zhu Qizhen already had a plan in his heart, and he went to read the book again, mainly to confirm whether the ideas in his heart were correct.

On the whole, these records are very similar to the records on Zhu Qiyu's recital, and it is very likely that they are what later generations called smallpox.

Unconsciously, the sky darkened, Wan Zhen'er lit the oil lamp, and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late, and you haven't eaten yet." ”

"Don't rush yet!"

Zhu Qizhen slowly closed his eyes and searched for the vanished smallpox virus from the depths of his memory.

In his day, smallpox was only described in textbooks.

Because long before he was born, the smallpox virus was completely eradicated.

The virus may have started as a relatively harmless poxvirus in domestic animals, but it evolved and adapted to form smallpox, a human disease.

Later, people gradually discovered an accidental situation similar to cowpox infecting humans.

Probably because after humans entered the agricultural age, they domesticated a large number of new animals and lived with them, often in the same house.

As a result, the smallpox virus continued to evolve and quickly adapt to different environments and hosts, eventually evolving into a terrifying form with a lethal rate of up to 30%.

What's even more terrifying is that such a fatality rate is still in modern society.

If it is placed in the Ming Dynasty, where the medical level is underdeveloped, it is estimated that the fatality rate will be more than half!

And the only way to treat this virus is cowpox!

It can be seen from ancient books that in fact, in Chinese history, someone has long invented the method of planting pox and curing sores.

Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, used pus from smallpox and mouth sores to apply to the skin to prevent smallpox, and among the people, the human pox inoculation method prevailed.

In later generations, cowpox was to infect cattle with the smallpox virus, thus infecting them.

However, cattle are congenitally resistant to the smallpox virus, and the infection is only mild, and it will be cured in a few days.

It has been found that when the cow infected spots are extracted again and then transferred to humans, although the spots will appear, the toxicity is greatly reduced, and the fatality rate is almost zero.

Zhu Qizhen suddenly opened his eyes and said, "There is one thing that needs to be done by you!" ”

Wan Zhen'er hurriedly said: "The emperor has a need, and the order is that the slave and maid will go all out!" ”.

"I just said that King Zhou has set off and gone to Nanhaiwei."

"Yes, the slave hears it."

"However, before King Zhou left, he did not come up with a set of effective treatment methods, I was worried that he would arrive in Nanhaiwei, and the progress would be slow, and many people over there were also sick, and some female rolls were not very convenient, so I ......"

Zhu Qizhen hesitated for a moment and continued: "I am ready to send you over!" ”

Wan Zhen'er was stunned for a while, but she didn't expect that the emperor would send such an important task to herself.

"The slave will leave tomorrow!"

Zhu Qizhen smiled and said, "The situation is urgent, but I am not in a hurry for this day and a half-day, before you go, I have to explain to you the method of planting pox." ”

Wan Zhen'er nodded: "The slave must study seriously!" ”

"Look at these accounts......"

Zhu Qizhen took out all the records about the treatment of pox, waited for Wan Zhen'er to read them all, and then said: "Actually, it is not difficult to treat this disease, as long as there are cows, it is enough." ”

Wan Zhen'er was puzzled: "What cow?" ”

"It's just an ordinary cow!"

Zhu Qizhen explained: "Extract the poisonous sores from the human body, plant them on the cattle, and when the cattle get sick and give birth to the poisonous sores, they will be replanted on the people!" ”

Wan Zhen'er was puzzled and asked, "Why is this?" ”

"This ...... I can't tell, but just remember! ”

"Okay, the slave has written it down!"

"And ......"

Zhu Qizhen still had something to say, but as soon as he spoke, he suddenly became hesitant.

Wan Zhen'er asked, "Does the emperor still have orders?" ”

"I just think...... In what capacity did you pass? ”

"The slave maid is a doctor of the Ming Dynasty, and the official title of the fifth grade."

"I'm afraid it's not enough."

"Why?"

Zhu Qizhen smiled and said: "This official of the inner palace has never been in charge of outside affairs, you went to the front line as an identity, I'm afraid it is, I'm afraid it's ......."

Wan Zhen'er said: "The emperor can rest assured, the slaves and maids go to the front line to treat diseases and save people, relying on their skills, not their official titles." ”

Zhu Qizhen seemed to have made an important decision and asked, "Actually, I can give you a new identity." ”

Wan Zhen'er asked, "What identity?" ”

"Imperial Concubine Ming!"
