Chapter 16 Vaccinia Inoculation
"It was Lan Bin who reminded Zhang Xin, the Jinyi Guard, who secretly protected His Royal Highness the eldest grandson!"
When Mao Xiang received the report below, he understood the whole story, did not conceal the report, and could not hide it, and said honestly.
Zhu Biao was even more surprised: "It's Lan Bin again?" ”
Lan Bin seems to be only thirteen or fourteen years old, and he is still a child. And most of what he usually hears is that Lan Bin doesn't learn and has no skills, and acts nonsense.
Just recently, after his father appointed Lan Bin to accompany Xiongying to study, his performance was better.
Lan Bin was able to detect and stop Xiongying from contacting smallpox patients in time, which had already surprised him. Now Mao Xiang actually said that Lan Bin also considered controlling the spread of smallpox.
Remind Zhang Xin, a hundred households of Jinyi Wei, and notify the Five Cities Terracotta Division to block the street where the smallpox patient is located.
It made him feel like Mao Xiang was talking about others.
However, Zhu Yuanzhang already had a good impression of Lan Bin for stopping Zhu Xiongying from contacting smallpox patients in time, and he was even more interested at this time: "Tell me quickly, what's going on!" ”
"Back to the emperor, Lan Bin is discovering smallpox patients..."
Mao Xiang will get the facts, after 1510 talked about it again, he said: "It is because of Lan Bin's reminder. After the doctor in the nursing home confirmed that the patient was suffering from smallpox, Zhang Xincai reported to the minister as soon as possible, and at the same time notified the Wucheng Terracotta Division! ”
"Yes, yes! If the smallpox in the city can be controlled this time, this kid Lan Bin should be the first to work! Zhu Yuanzhang said excitedly.
"Well, in this smallpox incident, Lan Bin's credit is indeed not small!"
Zhu Biao didn't expect that his brother-in-law, who was not very old, was so thoughtful, and when he encountered a smallpox patient, he was not only frightened by smallpox like ordinary people.
On the contrary, they calmly arranged for verification and made corresponding arrangements.
couldn't help but sigh, and said: "But this is not the time to talk about merit, and it is necessary to convene the ministers to discuss a feasible way to prevent people inside and outside the city from contracting smallpox." ”
"Not only that, but we also have to find out the reason for the smallpox plague in Jurong County, and who else is deceiving and hiding it!" Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and ordered: "Mao Xiang, this matter will be handed over to you Jinyiwei." ”
"If you go on another business trip, you won't have to come back!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Mao Xiang's heart tightened, and he said to the ground.
Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, ordered Mao Xiang to retreat, and called the eunuch: "Pass the decree, order the six Shangshu, and the envoy of the Tai Hospital will come to the Qianqing Palace to discuss matters." ”
"Also, go to the Blue Jade Mansion and bring our good grandson back."
"Yes! Emperor! The eunuchs who listened to the decree bowed and withdrew from the Qianqing Palace and began to make arrangements.
………………
Blue House.
When Zhu Xiongying was picked up by the eunuchs from the palace, Lan Bin also confirmed that the person who suddenly fell to the ground was suffering from smallpox. I also learned from the eunuch the origin of the man.
Lan Bin was glad that he had taken Zhu Xiongying away in time and did not let Zhu Xiongying contact that person, but he also asked the housekeeper Lan Wu to call him to the front as soon as possible, and ordered: "Lan Wu, do you know that there is a smallpox plague in Yang Village below Jurong County?" ”
"Young Master, is the news reliable?" When Lan Wu was wondering what Lan Bin was asking him to do, he was shocked at first glance.
Lan Bin nodded: "This news was revealed by the eunuch who just came to pick up Xiongying back to the palace!" ”
"Young master, Jurong County is not far from Yingtianfu City, our Lanfu must prepare early!" When Lan Wuyi heard this, he was instantly convinced of the news, and he was a little worried.
Even if he hadn't experienced smallpox, he had heard a lot.
Whoever is infected dies.
And Jurong County is so close to Ying Tianfu, once the plague in Jurong County reaches the city, it will kill people!
"I'm here for you!"
Lan Bin nodded: "You immediately find a reliable person, go to Yang Village, find a cow infected with smallpox, and bring it back!" ”
Since it has been confirmed that there is a smallpox plague in Yingtianfu, the prevention of smallpox should be put on the agenda.
Although smallpox was prevented in ancient times, there were four methods: pox coating method, pox pulp method, dry seedling method, and water seedling method. However, these preventive methods have more or less certain hidden dangers.
That is, there is a certain percentage of mortality.
Lan Bin naturally would not use the lives of Zhu Xiongying and everyone in the Lan Mansion to bet on the death ratio of the ancient prevention method, so there is only one way to prevent smallpox.
Vaccinia inoculation.
This method was invented by Edward Chenner, a foreigner who is known as the father of immunology, and the morbidity and mortality rate after vaccination are very low, and it is much safer in comparison.
Lan Wudao: "......"
Young master, the preparation I mentioned is to buy medicinal materials to prevent smallpox plague, not to send them to death!
"I know I won't be able to understand it for a while, but as long as you know, I won't harm everyone!" Lan Bin said seriously.
Lan Wu was silent for a moment, and said cautiously: "Young Master, what are you going to do with a cow infected with smallpox?" ”
"Vaccinia!"
Lan Bin explained: "That is, the pox scars on cows infected with smallpox can be applied to people to prevent smallpox. Even if you accidentally contract smallpox, it will not be fatal! ”
"Understood?"
Lan Wu nodded subconsciously, and immediately shook his head again, he understood every word Lan Bin said, but he didn't understand what it meant when it was connected.
Lan Bin tugged at the corners of his mouth, waved his hand and said, "Whether you understand it or not, you will do what I tell you immediately." ”
"Remember, you have to be fast!"
"But..."
Lan Wu wanted to say something, but Lan Bin said impatiently: "No, go quickly!" ”
"Okay, young master!"
Lan Wu looked at Lan Bin, after all, he didn't dare to disobey Lan Bin's orders, turned around and came to the courtyard with a bitter face, and after gathering the guards of the Lan Mansion, he conveyed Lan Bin's orders.
The guards of the Blue Mansion were either Lan Yu's former subordinates, who were injured and could not go to the battlefield. He had no relatives and was placed in the house by Lan Yu. Either it's a brave man selected by Blue Jade from among his old subordinates in the army.
No matter which one it is, they are loyal to Lan Yu and Lan Fu.
Therefore, after Lan Wu conveyed Lan Bin's meaning, even though they knew that if they went to the village where the smallpox plague occurred, they might be infected with smallpox and die. But they still stood up without hesitation and accepted Lan Bin's dispatch.
And as soon as possible, he took out the good horse from the Lanfu stable and rode to Jurong County.
After Lan Bin arranged the matter to Lan Wu, he returned to the study in the small courtyard where he lived, let people grind, and wrote down the steps and precautions of the cowpox inoculation method while recalling the cowpox inoculation method.
Half a pillar of incense time, Lan Bin revised and corrected, and finally wrote out the cowpox inoculation method, and after copying and keeping a copy, he called Thursday to hand over the cowpox inoculation method to him and asked him to send it to the Jinyi Wei Yamen.
It was transferred to the emperor by the Jinyi Guard Yamen.
The reason why he did this was to hope that the cowpox inoculation method would attract Zhu Yuanzhang's attention, so that it could be promoted throughout the country and put an end to smallpox. At the very least, I hope to promote it in the palace, so that the whole palace can be vaccinated against cowpox to prevent smallpox.
thus changing the fate of Zhu Xiongying due to smallpox infection.
