Qin Shou took a deep breath, at that time, Fang Yaoyi had already written the secret letter, and had not yet asked someone to send it out.

I saw Qin Shou walking in.

"Husband, how is the cowpox vaccine progressing?"

"I have already vaccinated Fang Xiaoshang, wait for four or five days to see." Qin Shou said.

Fang Yaoyi was a little stunned, and wondered: "It's already done?" ”

Qin Shou nodded, let's just say it's done.

Fang Yaoyi picked up the secret letter and said, "Then does this letter still need to be sent to Your Majesty?" ”

"Of course." Qin Shou said: "This is the silver tael we deserve, by the way, I have to ask my wife to help me write some more." ”

"Countermeasures on how to deal with the spread of the plague."

Fang Yaoyi's eyes were a little stunned, but she didn't say anything, just spread out the paper and pinched the pen.

Qin Shou sat next to Fang Yaoyi and studied ink for him.

After all, he was going to Yongzhou, and he didn't want to be half tired and half dead because of the spread of the plague, so he simply told his father all the strategies he saw in ancient books, so that it would be a bit logical to ask for a bounty.

"One: In plague areas, the water source must be strictly controlled, and the people must be told that the water must be boiled to drink."

"Second: send guards to garrison the plague area to prevent Xiaoxiao from taking advantage of the opportunity to cause chaos."

"Third: Seal off the plague area and prohibit people from entering and leaving, so as to block the route of transmission."

"Fourth: each area is isolated and sprinkled with quicklime, and the tableware must be cleaned with aged vinegar."

"Fifth: the toilet area should be demarcated separately and must not be mixed."

After saying this, Qin Shou thought for a while and added: "There is another most important point, but it is a big taboo, and I am afraid that the people will not abide by it." ”

"But let's write it down, it's all up to my father."

"What?" Fang Yaoyi tilted her head and wondered.

"Cremation." Qin Shou's face was heavy and said, "After the smallpox patient dies, it is best to burn the corpse with fire. ”

!!!

Cremation is indeed not a rare thing in this world.

But for the ancients, the body was skinned, and the parents did not dare to destroy it, and filial piety began.

Burning corpses is a big taboo.

Of course, Fang Yaoyi couldn't accept it, but she believed that what her husband said must have his reason.

After a while, Fang Yaoyi asked: "I understand the previous ones, but husband, why is this last one?" ”

Qin Shou said: "Throughout the ages, the number of casualties from each plague still shows a rapid increase, why is this? ”

"Because the dead bodies are not treated, they are infected through rivers, groundwater or other means, which naturally infects more people, so the plague breaks out quickly, so it continues to be full of eyes until it becomes uncontrollable."

"In fact, these last few are all to prevent a second outbreak of smallpox."

After Qin Shou finished speaking, Fang Yaoyi nodded thoughtfully, and wrote the last one and the reason.

As a talented woman, Fang Yaoyi is naturally familiar with history books, and there are countless events recorded in history about smallpox.

Even Fang Yaoyi was a little strange, the obviously unrelated prefectures and counties, after the plague broke out in one place, it would spread in another place even the next day, and the outbreak speed was extremely fast.

Rivers, water, corpses.

As soon as she said this, Fang Yaoyi understood a little.

"That's right." Qin Shou seemed to think of something, and continued: "As for the amount, let's change it to eight hundred taels." ”

After all, the imperial court is now suffering from internal and external troubles, and the treasury is indeed not sufficient, and Qin Shou also has some conscience, so he simply reduced some application funds.

But! It's impossible to prostitute for nothing, and you have to charge some fees anyway.

This is Qin Shou's bottom line.

Fang Yaoyi also wrote it truthfully, and then sent someone to the imperial city.

After Fang Xiaoshang was vaccinated against cowpox, he returned to his room and ate and drank Lazar in the room.

Every day, through letters, he reported to Qin Shou about his physical condition.

On the first day, Fang Xiaoshang did not feel any discomfort.

On the second day, Fang Xiaoshang began to feel unwell and had a poor appetite.

On the third day, he had a fever and vomited.

On the fourth day, some red spots appeared on the body.

On the fifth day, the fever began to subside and there was no vomiting.

On the sixth day, the red dot faded.

These days, Li Shimin is also extremely concerned about smallpox.

He actually collected sick cattle from Chang'an and sent them all to the palace of the king of rumors, during which there were also a few healthy cows.

At the same time, the appropriations of the imperial court were also delivered.

Qin Shou still had some conscience, leaving only a few sick cows with smallpox, as well as an old and dying cow, and the rest were brought back by the people of the imperial court.

And in this stormy day in the city, in addition to annotating the Four Books and Five Classics, Qin Shou paid close attention to Fang Xiaoshang's state.

On the letter paper until the seventh day, it was written that everything was business as usual.

He can be relieved, and everything is as usual, which is the best news.

Qin Shou flexed his index finger and knocked lightly on the door.

The door of the wing room opened at the sound of a stinking smell.

Fang Xiaoshang walked out with a normal expression, and when he walked, he was wrapped in gusts of stinky wind.

Fortunately, Qin Shou had taken precautions and put on a mask in advance, but the stinky wind that had accumulated for a few days was extremely lethal, even through the mask, it still continued to impact Qin Shou's nasal cavity.

"I've seen the prince." Fang Xiaoshang arched his hand and saluted.

Qin Shou bowed slightly, waved his hand again, and said, "Let's go take a bath first, and after you finish washing, I'll ask you some details." ”

After Fang Xiaoshang finished cleaning up, he came to the study.

At this time, Qin Shou was teaching Nini to read, and when he saw Fang Xiaoshang coming, Qin Shou gently scraped the tip of Nini's nose and said, "Big brother has something to talk about, can Nini go and play with big sister?" ”

Nini nodded obediently, picked up the book and snorted, and jumped down from the high chair, "Big brother goodbye!" ”

With that, the little one jumped out and ran out.

Qin Shou looked at the quirky little girl with a smile on his face.

"Lord Wang, since I knew you, you seem to have always had a smile on your face, and nothing seems to be stumbling on you." Fang Xiaoshang looked at Qin Shou's doting expression and chuckled.

Qin Shou was slightly stunned, "Then you are wrong, many times, many things, I find it difficult, but I think as long as I do my best, then there is nothing to be embarrassed about." ”

"After all, my ability is limited, and my distress can't help me solve those problems."

Fang Xiaoshang shook his head, "But in fact, the prince can always save the day, including this smallpox." ”

Qin Shou took a deep breath, leaned back in his chair, and said slowly: "Then again, when you just came out, the smell was really indescribable, why didn't you open the window to ventilate?" ”

Fang Xiaoshang smiled and said, "Fortunately, it didn't smell too strong before, but later, I started to have fever and vomiting, and I wondered if I really had smallpox." ”
