At the door of Renhe Hall, Dr. Tong and the others were shouting at the people to bring their children to plant cowpox.

When the people heard that cowpox could prevent smallpox, they didn't believe it. Smallpox is a terminal disease, and as long as you get it, there is basically only one way to die, and very few people can survive. Also, since ancient times, smallpox has not been cured, how can it be prevented?

Seeing that the people didn't believe it, Dr. Tong explained in great detail the effect of planting cowpox and how to plant cowpox. And, of course, the results of their previous experiments with cowpox.

When the people heard this, they were skeptical.

Dr. Tong said that if they have cowpox, they will only make their bodies weak and will not die. However, if you don't get cowpox, you will definitely die of smallpox in the future. Also, cowpox was invented by His Royal Highness the King of Han. His Royal Highness the King of Han asked the people to plant cowpox for free, because he didn't want the people to die of smallpox in the future.

Many people die of smallpox every year in Marsh Province, as well as in other state capitals. Perhaps because of the climate and geographical location of Lingnan, the number of people who get smallpox every year is very high, several times that of the inland.

Smallpox sometimes occurs in the interior, most of which is transmitted from Lingnan.

If a child has cowpox from an early age, he will basically not get smallpox again in this life, and it will be difficult to be infected by smallpox.

His Royal Highness the King of Han said that if you plant cowpox, you don't need the people to pay a copper coin. During the period of cowpox, eating and drinking were all in Renhetang, and no money was charged.

Hearing what Dr. Tong said, some people were moved. Some of the families of these people had died of smallpox a few years earlier, and the youngest of them was only one year old. In order to prevent smallpox in the future, they are willing to let their children get cowpox, which is not harmful to them anyway.

Of course, not every child can get cowpox. Before planting cowpox, Dr. Tong will carefully check the child's pulse to make sure that the child is healthy and can withstand cowpox. If your body is not healthy, you can't plant it for the time being. If you are weak, you will die from cowpox.

There are 10 children who signed up to plant cowpox, but only two children can plant it, and the other eight children are too poor to plant it at all.

When the people saw that Dr. Tong was so responsible, they believed them a little bit in their hearts. Then, some children signed up, but very few were able to get cowpox.

Many children look healthy on the surface, but they are a little thinner and their faces are sallow, but in fact they are in poor health. In Zhao Yao's words, malnutrition.

Not to mention children, even adults, few of them are healthy.

I haven't eaten enough food for a long time, and I have been drinking salty water that is not good for my body, plus the climate of the swamp house is warm, and there are miasma and poisonous insects, snakes and ants. In addition, they serve conscription all year round, and they are not dead or sick to the point of fate. Therefore, every citizen of the swamp province is sick, but it is not a serious problem. This is also the reason why Lingnan people do not live long.

The old man of the swamp mansion lived to be sixty years old, which is really a long life, and it is a very high kind. Very few old people live to be seventy years old, and eighty years old is not at all. Basically, live to be forty or fifty years old. For them, living to the age of fifty is a long life, and it is the result of the blessing of their ancestors.

Although since last year, the people have been able to barely eat enough and eat good salt, but it is impossible to recover so quickly. It will take some time for them to recover. Although it is said to be well-raised, it is actually the degree of health of normal people.

After Dr. Tong carefully checked the children's pulse, they took the children into the basement of Renhe Hall to plant cowpox. The children have one room per person, and there is a special person to take care of them, so you don't have to worry about accidents.

Because there are not many children with cowpox, Dr. Tong and they are busy soon. Next, no other children signed up. The main thing is that their elders are still waiting and watching. When the children who had been planted with cowpox before came out of Renhetang alive, they would let their children get cowpox.

Dr. Tong came to the Han Wangfu and reported to Zhao Yao about today's cowpox.

After listening to the announcement, Zhao Yao sighed with a heavy face: "I didn't expect that there are so few children who can grow cowpox normally." ”

"I didn't expect it." Dr. Tong's mood was also very heavy. The same children, most of the children in the capital are healthy and lively, but the children in the swamp mansion are ...... Fortunately, His Highness came to the Swamp Mansion, otherwise the children here would never have had enough to eat.

"The health condition of the people of the swamp mansion is even worse than we thought." Zhao Yao raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, and said with a solemn expression, "We have to find a way to improve the physical fitness of the people." ”

"Physical fitness?" Dr. Tong didn't understand this.

"It's about making them healthy." Zhao Yao said with a headache, "The reason why their health is so bad is because they have not eaten and drunk well for many years. ”

"Your Highness, even if you let the people drink tonics, their bodies will not get better all at once." Dr. Tong reminded Zhao Yao, "Their bodies are weak and cannot be supplemented, and they can't eat things or drink medicine." ”

"I didn't think that letting the people drink tonic medicine was to make three parts of poison. Besides, I don't have the money to ask the people to drink tonics. Zhao Yao's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, and said thoughtfully, "Actually, the easiest way to replenish your body is to eat well." If you have enough food, your body will gradually get better. ”

Doctor Tong nodded approvingly: "What His Highness said is true." ”

"Now the people of the swamp province can basically eat enough, but the time is too short for them to take care of themselves. After a few years, their health will get better, so let's wait a few more years. "This kind of thing can't be rushed." These three years are enough for them to eat and take care of their bodies. ”

"Your Highness is merciful."

"In addition to eating, you have to eat meat." Zhao Yao said, "After the trade conference, encourage the people to go out to sea to catch fish." Eating more fish is good for your body. ”

"Your Highness is wise." Thinking of the fish and meat he had eaten before, Dr. Tong felt a little greedy. Not only is the fish not fishy, but the meat is also very tender. If you add it to the delicious mushrooms, the taste is simply ...... Delicious in the world!

"Take good care of the children who plant cowpox." Zhao Yao advised, "As long as they go home well after planting cowpox, other children will sign up for cowpox." ”

"Yes, Your Highness."

"By the way, thanks to your good prevention work, there have been no infectious diseases so far. However, now that the weather is getting warmer and the miasma is increasing, you have to continue to do a good job of prevention, otherwise the people will get sick as before. "The name of the swamp house is because there are many swamps. There are many swamps, and there are naturally a lot of miasma. "As soon as the weather is hot, there will be more snakes and insects, and we must pay attention to this aspect."

"Your Highness, rest assured, the ministers have been paying attention."

When Zhao Yao heard this, he was relieved. However, he explained a few more words, and then let Dr. Tong leave.

After Dr. Tong left, Zhao Yao called Zheng Qian over and asked him how many lonely old people and how many orphans there were in the swamp mansion.

Zheng Qian said that there are currently more than 9,000 lonely elderly people and more than 4,000 fatherless and motherless children in the Swamp Mansion. This is the number of the entire Marsh Province, which includes several prefectures around the Wamp Province. In the swamp city, there are hundreds of lonely old people and orphans.

These elderly and children without family members wander around, begging for food, and they are very miserable and pitiful.

"You give the number of lonely old people and orphans to the Ministry of Industry, and I will instruct the Ministry of Industry to build a Fusheng Hall after the end of the trade conference to take in these lonely old people and orphans." Zhao Yao felt that there was no need to take in the lonely old man and the orphan separately and take them in together. The lonely elderly will not feel lonely when they are accompanied by children. Orphans are accompanied by the elderly, and they can be regarded as having relatives. They accompany each other, take care of each other, and heal each other.

"Yes, Your Highness."

"Rice planting will be going to be done in a while, so you have to keep an eye on it."

"Your Highness, rest assured, the minister has always remembered this matter."

Zhao Yao instructed some more things, which allowed Zheng Qian to leave.

Zheng Qian, the head of the household, is as busy as Zhao Yao, and he has a lot of things to do every day. Fortunately, he is young and has the energy to keep busy.

Zhao Yao called the Ministry of Industry Shangshu over again, and first asked how the water diversion was going. The Ministry of Industry told him that there were already two wells that could be used for water.

He also asked the Ministry of Works about the renovation of the sewers. Just a few days ago, the sewers were all repaired and the streets were all paved.

The official road near the swamp province is being repaired, and it will definitely be repaired before the trade conference.

"After the trade conference is over, I plan to recruit people to come to the Swamp Mansion to establish a guild hall, and then your Ministry of Industry and Household Department will be jointly responsible for this matter."

"Guild Hall?" The Ministry of Industry Shangshu looked puzzled, "Is it the same as the restaurant on the dock?" ”

"It's bigger than a restaurant." Zhao Yao explained, "In the future, people from all over the world will come to the swamp province to do business, and we will allow them to set up a guild hall in their hometown, and they will definitely be happy." For example, if I am from the capital, I can set up a capital hall, so that people from the capital will come to this hall to eat, drink and have fun. So, understand? ”

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu understood what Zhao Yao meant, and said with a bright face: "Your Highness, your idea is too good. ”

Zhao Yao said, taking out a scroll from the drawer and spreading it out on the table.

"There are several good hot springs in the Swamp Province, and you can build a hot spring mountain resort. This is the floor plan of the hot spring lodge that I designed. ”

The Ministry of Industry Shangshu respectfully took the floor plan with both hands, looked down seriously, and then looked at it with a surprised expression.

"Your Highness, your floor plan...... The minister was ashamed. "Woo woo woo, obviously he is the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, but every time His Highness designs the drawings, he is eye-opening, and he is ashamed." Your Highness, can you give some of your talents to your ministers? ”

Zhao Yao unceremoniously refused: "No, born." ”

Ministry of Works: "......"

"In addition to the hot spring mountain resort, we will also build a resort mountain resort." Zhao Yao built the Marsh Province into a metropolis of overseas trade, commerce, agriculture, industry, and entertainment. "The resort is similar to a royal annex and is a place for people to rest and relax."

"Your Highness, are you going to build a royal garden?"

"The royal annex is to be built, but the resort is also to be built." Zhao Yao said, "The level of the resort villa is lower than that of the Royal Annex, after all, it is open to civilians. ”

"Your Highness, is it built according to the royal annex?"

"No, there are many entertainment contents in the resort, such as horseback riding, polo, kicking, archery, hunting, and ......" Zhao Yao gave a lot of examples in one breath, "You go back and think about what you can add to it." ”

After listening to this, the Ministry of Industry Shangshu nodded knowingly: "The minister knows." ”

"The food, drink, and accommodation are all better than the restaurant...... Zhao Yao said something more, and the secretary of the Ministry of Industry came down.

Zhao Yao deliberately emphasized: "The things in the resort must be the best in order to attract and retain guests." ”

"I remember." Your Highness is really good at everything, is there anything Your Highness can't think of?

"The blueprints of the resort, you design your own." Zhao Yao pointed to the floor plan of the hot spring villa in the hand of the Ministry of Industry Shangshu and said, "You can refer to the design plan of the hot spring villa I designed, and show it to me after the design is completed." ”

"The ministers must work hard to design it."

Zhao Yao suddenly remembered something, forgot to explain to Zheng Qian, and raised his hand in annoyance and patted his forehead.

"I forgot to tell Zheng Qian about the bank." In a little more than a month, the trade conference is about to begin, and there is no bank shadow yet, which is not good.
