Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 2086, the nemesis of the Black Death

In the country castle of Grand Duke William of the Netherlands, Grand Duke William of the Netherlands was remembering that his son and daughter were also infected with the Black Death one after another.

I had just been cured of the Black Death, but I didn't expect that my son Paul and daughter Anna were also infected with the Black Death. This terrible disease made people talk about it.

At this moment, both Paul and Anna were suffering from high fever, fever all over their bodies, severe lung inflammation, and what was even more frightening was that black spots began to appear on their bodies, which meant that if they did not receive effective treatment, they would basically be close to death.

"Here comes the barber, here comes the barber."

When William was distraught, the housekeeper hurried over with a barber. The barber was carrying a toolbox in his hand, which was filled with the main tools of the barber's treatment during this period, such as the knife for bloodletting therapy and the needle for blood drainage. Category.

"Let me tell you in advance that my fees are not low, especially for the treatment of patients infected with the Black Death. I have to pay ten times the fee."

George the barber put on a black burqa and a pointed-nosed mask, dressed like a god of death, and began to talk about remuneration before he started working.

To be honest, he really didn't want to come to treat people suffering from the Black Death, but for the sake of money, the other party was the Grand Duke of the Netherlands, who had status, status and money, so he had to come.

"roll!"

William was in a bad mood at first. When he saw George taking out the needles and the like, it was obvious that he was going to adopt the previous boss again, and he was going to bloodlet his son and daughter for treatment.

He was so angry that he roared directly.

A few days ago, I almost died under the barber's bloodletting therapy, and now I want to use the same method to treat my daughter and son, so I might as well just kill him.

"You, you~"

George looked at William, who was as angry as a lion, and was taken aback. He didn't understand how he offended him and made him so angry.

I came here to treat his children, so it's fine if I don't say a good word, but I just let myself go, which made George feel as if he had been greatly insulted. He took his tools and went back without looking back. up.

"Sir, we shouldn't do this."

Seeing that William seemed very angry, the housekeeper said seriously: "No one knows whether penicillin can be purchased from Hong Kong. It has been a few days."

"I know, but I also know that if the barber is asked to bleed, my child may not be able to survive today, and even if the medicine arrives, it will not be able to save him."

William nodded, keeping his eyes on the road outside the castle, looking forward to the early arrival of life-saving penicillin.

"At that time, I shouldn't have thought that the medicine was expensive, so I should have bought more and kept it ready."

He regretted endlessly in his heart. When he was suffering from the Black Death, he learned that there was a kind of penicillin in Hong Kong. The price was extremely expensive, ten times that of gold, but the people of Ming Dynasty claimed that this medicine had miraculous effects.

With the attitude of giving it a try, William also ordered someone to buy some back. As a result, his black death was cured quickly, which made William feel that although the medicine was expensive, it was worth it.

At that time, the Black Death had just begun, and penicillin was relatively easy to buy. Now that the news has gradually spread, it is not known whether penicillin can be bought.

While waiting anxiously, a car quickly drove towards the castle.

"I'm coming!"

Seeing the car, William and the butler shouted excitedly.

Before the car heard, the people inside the car shouted excitedly.

"I got it, I got it!"

Hearing this, William immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Soon, the person who bought the penicillin hurried over with the medicine.

"The price of penicillin has already skyrocketed, so two boxes of penicillin cost more than three thousand taels of silver!"

"And even if I have money, I still can't buy it. I asked all the major commercial companies, and all the penicillin has been sold out. In the end, I reported your name, Grand Duke, and found it at the Governor's Mansion in Hong Kong. , With the help of the Governor of Hong Kong, I only spent more than three thousand taels of silver to buy two boxes of penicillin!"

The servant said out of breath.

Now the price of penicillin is rising again and again, and the price is many times more expensive than gold, but even if you have money, this thing is already very difficult and difficult to buy.

Because of the outbreak of the Black Death on the European side, Daming not only sealed off communications with Europe for its own safety, but also banned penicillin, which can treat the Black Death, in Hong Kong, the Mediterranean, and the Black Earth provinces. Many Daming people are also buying this penicillin one after another, and keep some at home just in case.

In addition, the yield of penicillin itself is also very low. Even Zhang Xingjian, the inventor of penicillin, and the Zhang family have been working hard to increase the yield, and they have also worked out a way to increase the yield by a large amount.

However, the market demand for penicillin is still much larger than its output, and it can treat too many diseases, and the market demand for it is very strong all over the world.

These factors have led to the soaring price of penicillin, making it hard to find a drug.

"Governor of Hong Kong?"

"It seems that I will prepare a generous gift to thank him later."

Hearing this, William immediately remembered this friendship silently, and immediately ordered someone to give medicine to his son and daughter.

Because William had the Black Death not long ago, everyone knew how to use this medicine.

The effect of penicillin on the treatment of plague is unquestionable, it is definitely a special drug, and the effect is very significant.

Just half an hour after the injection, Paul and Anna began to sweat profusely, and then their body temperature dropped rapidly, their breathing became smoother, and their complexions began to turn rosy.

Seeing this scene, William immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

By the next day, Paul and Anna's mental state had improved a lot, a lot, and the dark spots on the skin were gradually fading, and only faint marks could be seen.

Then a second injection of penicillin was given, and in the afternoon, the two children were already alive and kicking. The terrible Black Death, a horrible disease that made Europeans become ashamed, was cured so simply and easily in front of penicillin. up.

"It's really a magic medicine!"

"It's really the nemesis of the Black Death, the people of Daming are really amazing!"

Seeing his children getting better in a short period of time, and thinking about himself again, William couldn't help but sigh.

Europeans have always had no way to deal with the Black Death, but the people of Ming Dynasty have developed a special medicine to treat the Black Death, which can be cured in just two days, which is amazing and unbelievable!
Grand Duke William of the Netherlands is not the only one who laments the magic of penicillin at this moment, there are many European nobles who have benefited from penicillin.

In a manor on the outskirts of Paris, France, an aristocrat was lamenting the magic of penicillin with a pen.

"It's an incredible miracle drug!"

"In just two or three days, it brought me back from hell!"

"Oh, thank God, thank Daming people, thank penicillin!"

"With it, the Black Death will no longer be terrible. It is the nemesis of the Black Death. It is an angel, an angel from the Eastern Great Ming."

"Although it's very expensive, gold pales in comparison to it."

"."

"Almighty God, I swear to you, I will cherish my life more, thank you for giving me a new life!"

The aristocrat did his best to write poems out of his meager vocabulary in praise of this miraculous drug.

The Black Death has always been a terrifying plague that has made the entire European people talk about it.

Once infected with this disease, you can only pray that the god of death despises your ugly soul and is unwilling to accept you, otherwise you will undoubtedly die.

Now penicillin can effectively treat this kind of black death, which is also deeply shocking to Europeans, especially those who have experienced it personally can truly understand the process from despair to new life.

In the Spanish Royal Palace, Charles V is holding an emergency meeting to discuss how to deal with the current spread of the Black Death.

"Your Majesty, both the Spanish Empire and the Holy Roman Empire have implemented strict containment. With the cheap food from the Ming people, our containment measures have gained everyone's strong support and cooperation."

The Duke of Brand reported the current epidemic prevention work to Charles V with a smile on his face. With the Ming people as an example, they copied it directly, because the famine was difficult to control.

Now that there is a steady stream of cheap food from the Ming Empire, the seal and control has been effectively coordinated, and the effect is also very significant. As long as the Black Death occurs, the surrounding area will be blocked immediately and the patients will be isolated. The number of new cases has been reduced and the spread of the Black Death has been curbed.

"Very good, keep going, the Black Death won't last long, it only takes half a month at most to bring it under control."

The young Charles V nodded in satisfaction. Recently, he has been studying the epidemic prevention measures of the Ming Empire last year, and has a detailed understanding of the large-scale plague that occurred in Daming last year.

"Your Majesty, the Black Death is not only preventable and controllable, but also curable. The Ming Empire has a special drug called penicillin, which has a miraculous effect on curing the plague."

"Currently the news of penicillin has spread throughout Europe, making it hard to find this drug. I request your Majesty to write a letter or call the Emperor of the Ming Empire."

"I implore the Ming Empire to sell a batch of penicillin to us, the Spanish Empire and the Holy Roman Empire."

The Duke of Bland thought for a while and advised Charles V that he was actually speaking for many nobles, because now everyone was worried that they would be infected with the Black Death and wanted to keep some penicillin.
