Chapter 197 Prevention
After the words landed, the Iron Eagle Guard at the bottom walked to Qin Shou with a plate, only to see a wooden bowl on it.
He walked over, picked up the wooden bowl, walked among the people, and said aloud, "This is the cowpox vaccine, that is, the vaccine against smallpox." β
"After receiving this vaccine, it can prevent smallpox."
Hearing this, the people below showed shocked looks, obviously not believing it.
Qin Shou didn't say much, straightly rolled up his sleeves, pointed to the scars left by the vaccinia vaccination, and said, "You can rest assured, the cowpox vaccine is very safe, and I and these soldiers have already been vaccinated with this vaccine." β
"That's why I dared to go here from Chang'an, and I didn't get infected with smallpox."
"Wowγ"
These words naturally caused an uproar below.
After a while, I saw a middle-aged woman bow slightly and stepped forward, and said cautiously: "That... My lord, I don't know if I can ask you. β
Qin Shou nodded and said, "But it's okay to ask." β
The woman asked.
"That's... What is the vaccine in the big population? β
"We've never heard anything like that."
Qin Shou: "......"
I just said everything in vain, and she didn't listen to it at all.
Qin Shou had no choice but to describe it as a drug.
Then he said, "Okay, that's all I have to say, and I'm going to ask you, who wants to get vaccinated?" β
There was silence in the hall.
The people look at me, and I look at you, but no one answers.
Qin Shou had long expected this situation, and he was not too surprised, after all, it was still a little difficult to suddenly get these people to accept the existence of the vaccine.
So he's not in a hurry.
After a long time, the woman who asked the question suddenly stepped forward, jerked up her sleeves, revealed her thin arms, and said, "My lord, please give me that vaccine." β
Seeing the woman's look of death, Qin Shou raised his eyebrows and immediately agreed.
After receiving the vaccinia vaccine, the woman was even a little incredulous, covering her wound with a clean cloth and wondering, "Is this the end?" β
Qin Shou nodded with a smile and said, "In the next few days, you may have a fever and red acne on your body, but in about five days, these symptoms will disappear." β
"If you are not at ease, you can stay in Yongzhou Mansion and go home after these symptoms have subsided."
The woman shook her head and refused, "Thank you for your concern, it's just that I still have young children at home, so I won't bother the adults." β
So the woman turned and prepared to leave.
As she reached the gate of the palace, the woman suddenly turned around and knelt down, "Thank you, sir." β
Qin Shou didn't react for a while, and hurriedly said, "What are you doing, please get up." β
The woman slowly stood up with the support of the guards, and her tone was very soft, but it was particularly loud in this hall.
She said: "In the past few days, the plague has been rampant, and no one in Yongzhou City is terrified, and no one dares to go out, and I often hear people screaming in pain on the street at home, and every night I will hold my child and be afraid, lest I be infected by smallpox that day." β
"In the past, life was hard, but there was still some hope, but these days, there is no hope, and I don't know when I will get sick."
"My lord came from Chang'an thousands of miles away, just to save us people."
"My lord is a great kindness to me and to Yongzhou City."
Qin Shou looked at the woman with tears in her eyes, and her heart was sour.
These words are just insignificant words, but for Qin Shou who has come all the way, they are the greatest affirmation for him.
When he first stormed the city gate, he was thrown at his feet.
In the Yin Mansion of Yongzhou Mansion, those Qianniuwei who died to protect him.
In fact, these have become a haze in his heart.
But now, under this small affirmation, this haze is gradually being dispelled.
After having the lead, the rest of the people also began to step forward.
"My lord, please vaccinate me too. Even if I don't get vaccinated, I don't know when I will be infected by smallpox, and then life is better than death, so why bother! β
"Yes, yes, even if you don't get infected, the food in this house will bottom out, and you won't starve to death by then."
βEcho of all kinds.
The hearts of people, which had been scattered by the plague, began to slowly gather.
Three days later, after a non-stop rush day and night, Qin Shou's secret letter was finally delivered to Li Shimin.
Li Shimin was furious when he saw the rebellion of the Yongzhou guards mentioned in the letter, but after looking down, he couldn't help but fall into silence.
The officials of Yongzhou City, large and small, were all beheaded by Qin Shou, without exception.
This news had a great impact on Li Shimin, and there were more than 100 officials in Yongzhou City, all of whom had become ghosts.
Du Ruhui, Fang Xuanling and others were doing something in the palace at this time, and when they saw His Majesty falling into deep thought after receiving the secret letter from Yongzhou, they couldn't help but wonder.
"Your Majesty, has the situation in Yongzhou deteriorated to the point of no return?"
Du Ruhui didn't know the news of the destruction of Yongzhou City at this time, and asked suspiciously.
Li Shimin shook his head, put the secret letter on the case, and pointed his finger and said, "Take it and see it." β
Fang Xuanling hesitated and stepped forward, picked up the secret letter, and also fell into silence after reading it.
He handed the secret letter to Du Ruhui, Du Ruhui looked at the news on the secret letter, and frowned, "Your Majesty, the minister doesn't blame the prince for this matter." β
Li Shimin laughed angrily when he heard this, and scolded: "When did I say that I would blame Shi'er? β
"Du Ruhui, do you think I'm the kind of person who doesn't care about right and wrong?"
"This..."Du Ruhui was speechless for a while, and shook his head again and again: "The minister is guilty." β
Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Don't say that these are useless. β
His sword eyebrows furrowed, and he touched his chin in thought.
To be honest, Li Shimin has no opinion on killing Yongzhou Mansion Yin and Bingwei, after all, sooner or later he will be killed.
But these officials, big and small, without exception, have done a bit of a desperate job.
However, it is not incomprehensible that when Li Shimin led the troops on the battlefield before, there were also times when he was just killing red eyes.
After a long time, Li Shimin slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "Yongzhou City was attacked by A'er, but it is a good thing, and I will not blame him for this matter." β
"It's just that this child is still younger, and he is not thoughtful, as the saying goes, cut the grass and eradicate the roots, but this point is not in place."
Hearing His Majesty's words, Du Ruhui and Fang Xuanling seemed to have thought of something, and hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, don't do it!" β
"This matter is still up for discussion!"
"Discuss? What to discuss? Li Shimin was furious and scolded: "At the beginning, Yongzhou Mansion Yin locked the city gate, and I wanted to send an army to attack the city, you said that you need to discuss, but how many days has it been?" β
"Zhen'er only took more than 20 thousand Niu Wei to capture Yongzhou City, I, as my father, why can't I finish it for him?"
