Chapter 110: Nationwide Pox

Looking at Li Shimin's expression, you can know what he thinks.

"Yes, Ayah. I've tried it. And our Jiwang Mansion has been planted from top to bottom. I'm getting pox in the barracks right now. Li Shen said and exposed his arm and asked him to see the location of the pinhole.

"Well, if you really can. Is that possible to be implemented nationwide? ”

"Ayya, it may take a long time for the whole country to be implemented. Because cowpox grows on sick cows. We don't have that many cows. Once the cows have recovered, they will not be infected. We can only do it one way at a time. And local cattle are needed to infect. Because I don't know how long these poxes will be ineffective after leaving the cow, I can only plant them on the spot. Therefore, I am afraid that it will take a few years for smallpox to disappear in Datang. Li Shen knew that smallpox disappeared in later generations.

"Gone in a few years?" Li Shimin was overjoyed when he heard this. Smallpox occurs every few years. A lot of people die every time. It is not an exaggeration to say that he is one of the reasons for the suppression of the population.

Li Shen thought that Li Shimin would dislike it for a few years. So he said: "If the imperial court decrees that all states and counties cooperate." When recruiting a group of people for training. Let them go down to the counties. This will be shorter. However, these people need to be given by the imperial court. You can't let people work for nothing. ”

"Okay, let's see if your method works, and if it works, then do as you say. The imperial court was responsible for promotion. Come on, go to the Imperial Doctor's Office and call all the Imperial Doctors. Let them observe it too. ”

Li Shimin also meant that he was afraid of danger.

After a while, the imperial physician ordered Li Xiuwei to come over with more than a dozen imperial physicians. Hearing that King Ji could prevent smallpox, Li Xiuwei trotted in.

Li Shen didn't talk nonsense when he saw that the imperial doctors were coming, took some pox liquid with a tool, injected Wei Guifei, and then called Li Mengjiang, and then all the subordinates of the Daji Palace. In fact, it only takes a little bit to plant cowpox. (For the sake of rigor, Wei Guifei and Li Mengjiang did not use a needle.) )

"His Royal Highness King Ji, I don't know if the old man can give it a try." Li Xiuwei wanted to feel it for himself.

"Absolutely. I hope you will teach others in the future. So Li Shen planted Li Xiuwei with pox. Except for Wei Guifei and Li Mengjiang. Others use a knife to smear shallow wounds. When Li Xiuwei asked why there were two methods, Li Shenzhi said that the pain of the knife cut made Li Xiuwei speechless. The main thing is that Li Shen has so many sterilization needles.

"Aye, do you want to give it a try? And my mother's side is going to do it, too. I guess it should still work. and two younger sisters in Xincheng also want to plant. Small children are best planted. Li Shen asked

"Your Majesty, there will be something to do later, I'll see it for two days before planting." Wang De saw that Li Shimin wanted to speak, so he immediately answered. Wang De was afraid that it would not be safe, and wanted to observe what Wei Guifei was saying.

"Don't worry. The most filial piety of the old ten is the concubine, even if I have something to do, he will not let the concubine have something. Since he came to the Daji Hall first, it proves that this thing is safe, and the good thing is the first thing he left to his mother. Then I will be considered. Li Shimin said to Wang De sourly.

Wang De thought about it, and every time there was something good, the first thing to have must be Dajidian. Then His Majesty and the Queen. It's definitely safe to come first this time.

Li Shimin stepped forward, and Li Shen directly made a cut with a knife. Li Shimin's eyes were on fire. It's not that it hurts that much. The main reason is that Li Shen didn't let him be treated with Wei Guifei, and he felt a little uncomfortable. However, Li Shen said that the remaining few needles should be reserved for a few children. It's hard to say anything yourself. Half an hour later, the Lizheng Hall was also planted. Actually, there aren't many people. The number of people in each temple was not large.

"In the next three days, you will have some symptoms, but it doesn't matter, the doctor can prescribe some medicine and take it. Everyone's symptoms are different. But there is not much danger to life, so don't be afraid. When the disease occurs, try to let people who do not have pox serve them. If the person is lucky enough to be infected. That saves a chance to get pox for someone else. Drink plenty of water and rest for two or three days. Li Shen took the cow away after explaining everything. This cow will last a few days when it goes back. After healing, it is returned to the farmer. (The statement is taken from the experts' statement after the mask is opened, and the source of infection with mild symptoms will infect others with mild symptoms)

Sure enough, as Li Shen said, Li Shimin began to have a fever that night. Aches all over my body, pimples on my body. Li Shimin did not go to court the next day, and by the morning of the third day, most of the pimples had already shed and he did not have a fever. On the fourth day, Li Shimin recovered. Most of the people in the palace who received cowpox were like this, only some of them were weak for a longer time. For example, Empress Changsun was ill for six days before she recovered.

On the morning of the fourth day, when the ministers saw Li Shimin coming to the court, they asked him about Li Shimin's physical condition.

"Ladies and gentlemen, my body has healed. I'm about to talk about it today. I was sick for three days because I received King Ji's cowpox. You may not know what this cowpox is. As long as you have cowpox, you won't get smallpox. Now the harem has begun to plant cowpox for all its members. Li Shimin said happily

"What beans, you can't get smallpox in the future?"

"And this magic bean?"

"I don't think I've heard of it before. I only heard that some people don't get it again after they get it, but most of the people who have had smallpox have their faces full of potholes. ”

"Alright. Now let the Imperial Doctor Decree tell you about it. Li Shimin interrupted everyone's discussion

"Ladies and gentlemen. It is indeed recorded in medical literature that if a person is cured of smallpox, he will never be infected again in this life. Ji Wang's method is actually the same, but the symptoms of people's illness are reduced several times.

What is the specific reason, the old man has not had time to consult King Ji. But King Ji has a joke. "Li Xiuwei has read a lot of medical books. And experienced. So Li Shen's pox he figured out the principle.

In fact, in ancient times, there were similar methods, such as wearing the clothes of infected people or something. But it's too dangerous.

"What did King Ji say?" Cheng Yanjin asked with an expression like listening to a story

King Ji said that smallpox was a punishment from heaven, and those who had been punished would not be punished in the future. Then he will find a way to cover the heavens and make God think that you have been sick. Then you won't have it again. ”

People in this era worship the theory of ghosts and gods. The more things I can't understand, the more I think it's because of ghosts and gods. So after Li Xiuwei said Li Shen's nonsense, there was still a part of people who really believed it.

Otherwise, the smallpox epidemic for thousands of years is definitely a crime from God. Why can Li Shen solve it?

"Whatever the reason. As long as it works, it's a good idea. I plan to send a message to all states and counties in the world to cooperate in planting cowpox, and recruit 10,000 people to go down to various states and counties to plant cowpox. I want everyone in Datang to be inoculated with cowpox within two years. In the future, I will never be afraid of smallpox again. Li Shimin made the final decision

"Your Majesty is wise, this matter is meritorious in the present generation, and the benefit is in the future. Your Majesty will go down in history. Fang Xuanling's sycophants followed.

"yes, yes. This is a major event for the benefit of the country and the people. ”

"Your Majesty Shengming"

"Your Majesty's Divine Wisdom"

The ministers of the court also patted their ass, Li Shimin was so beautiful in his heart, he originally planned to go to Mount Tai next year to seal Zen. But since there is such a thing, of course, it will be said in two years. That's a great achievement.

Next, Li Shimin began to recruit. Li Shen asked the 1,000 vaccinated guards to start teaching and inoculating at each gate of Chang'an. After vaccinating all the people of Chang'an first, Li Shen felt safe. And Li Xiuwei rushed to Zezhou with a few imperial doctors to carry out large-scale pox.

The cattle near Chang'an have been requisitioned by the government, and they will be sent to you when they run out, and you will be compensated for one if they die. Who dares not to borrow
