Unparalleled Fortune in Qing Dynasty

Chapter 202 Cowpox
Tong Cheng'er was born in the late 90s of the twentieth century, and she was vaccinated against smallpox when she was born. She heard very little about smallpox, and her only impression was that her high school biology teacher mentioned it once.

I have seen smallpox-infected people with thick acne all over their bodies on the ppt.

Although it was impressive that time, it was only a few days.

Traveling back to the Qing Dynasty, she stayed in the backyard all day, and she rarely got sick. She had never heard of anyone getting smallpox, so she never thought of it.

"Cows with smallpox are inoculated on human arms with their pox scabs, so that people will not be infected with smallpox."

Yin Zhen was pleasantly surprised when he heard the words: "What you said is true?"

"Of course I won't lie to you. People in the future will be inoculated with vaccinia, so no one will ever get smallpox. That's why I didn't think of vaccinia."

She is an inspirational person who wants to be salted fish, how can she think about these things.

Thinking about it now, I feel a little regretful, this is a terrible thing, why didn't she think of it before!

Seeing her swearing in what she said, Xu Zhen understood that she was not a person who just talked about it.

Immediately, he let Su Peisheng in, and said, "Su Peisheng, let the imperial physician come over."

Su Peisheng: "Yes, the servant will go right away."

After that, he left the study.

Seeing this, Tong Cheng'er said: "You must be quite busy. I can't help you with important matters, so I won't bother you."

Yinzhen nodded: "Go back and rest first, don't worry."

Tong Cheng'er nodded and left.

Not long after, Su Peisheng brought the imperial physician over.

"The servant has seen..."

Before the imperial physician finished speaking, Yinzhen interrupted directly: "Don't be too polite, get up quickly, and tell me what's going on now?"

The imperial doctor looked sad: "Brother Si, there are now 13 people infected with smallpox, and they have been quarantined. As for the medication, you also know that there is no cure for smallpox."

Yinzhen nodded: "You have done everything you can to do this matter. I called you here because I heard something just now. In a village, the cows in the village were infected with smallpox and had pox. The cowherd boy didn't know , my arm was injured, and after a while, smallpox broke out in the village, and everyone in the village was infected. Only this cowherd boy was safe. You all know that human pox can prevent smallpox to a certain extent. Do you think there is any? One possibility is that vaccinia can completely prevent smallpox?"

As soon as Yinzhen said this, the imperial physicians fell silent.

No one has tried cowpox to prevent smallpox, and no one knows what it is.

Seeing that they were silent, Xu Zhen asked, "Why are you silent?"

After another moment of silence, an imperial doctor spoke up: "Qi Si elder brother, this is not impossible, but no one has tried cowpox after all, so it's hard to say if it will work."

Yinzhen believes in Xiao Fujin 100%, but others don't know the inside story!
"Since no one has tried it, let people try it. There should be no shortage of death row prisoners in the Yamen of Rehe Prefecture. Since they are all going to die, they should do something to forgive their crimes."

When the imperial physician heard the words, Qiqi nodded and agreed to this method.

In ancient times, human life was cheap and worthless. It was already a kindness for the fourth elder brother not to let the servants below try this method. They can only say that the fourth elder brother is kind.

After the imperial doctors went out, they began to experiment with cowpox.

Because smallpox was controlled in a timely manner, it did not spread, but it still caused a certain degree of panic. After all, smallpox is too contagious, and few people who are infected with smallpox can survive.

After nearly a month, good news finally came from the imperial physician.

"Reporting to the fourth elder brother, the cowpox is indeed useful, but the scope of the experiment is small, but I don't know if there are other cases."

Yinzhen nodded, this is indeed good news.

"Go ahead, I will pass this news to Beijing first."

The imperial physician said excitedly: "Yes, Fourth Prince."

Yinzhen waved his hands: "Go out and do your work!"

"Yes."

Yinzhen hurriedly asked people to send the news back to the capital. After Kangxi received the news, he couldn't help laughing and said, "Okay, God bless the Qing Dynasty! God bless the Qing Dynasty!"

Liang Jiugong was waiting on the side. Hearing this, he couldn't help but be shocked. Long Live Lord said such words directly when he received the news from the fourth elder brother. It seems that the fourth elder brother has more weight in the heart of Long Live Lord than he thought.

After sighing, Kangxi immediately said: "Liang Jiugong, grind ink."

"嗻"

Kangxi picked up his pen and began to write.

After finishing writing, he asked Liang Jiugong to call the head of the Imperial Hospital, and after giving some instructions, he calmed down his excitement.

After another half a month, the imperial physician went through several experiments, and all the prisoners on death row who had been inoculated with vaccinia would not be infected with smallpox again, without exception.

Another piece of news that is neither particularly good nor particularly bad is that out of the thirteen people who were infected with smallpox, seven of them recovered after treatment.

After another half a month, Yinzhen spread the news to Beijing, Kangxi asked the imperial doctor to do the experiment, because of the cowpox given, so the experiment was very fast.

After Kangxi confirmed it, he immediately announced the news in the court.

As soon as the news came out, everyone knelt down immediately, and then began to shout long live, and then began to say something like "God bless the Qing Dynasty".

Kangxi was very happy. Yinzhen found out about this, and he didn't hide it, so he said it directly.

Seeing the undisguised love of Lord Long Live for the fourth elder brother, everyone followed suit and began to praise Yinzhen, the fourth elder brother in Mongolia.

The news reached Yinzhen, which made him realize what it means to be "although I am not in the Jianghu, but there are still legends about me in the Jianghu".

Kangxi is happy!Hearing the courtiers below praise his son's rainbow fart, he felt that this was not enough. Thinking of the abundant national treasury, the credit was also due to this son, so he wanted to give some rewards.

But he also knew that his son was not short of money, so after much deliberation, he could only work hard on the title.

Now my son is getting older every year, and his ability is getting stronger and stronger, but he is still a bald brother, which is really embarrassing.

After thinking about it for a while, he issued an imperial edict directly, from the eldest elder brother to the fourth elder brother to be the king of the county, and the fifth and ninth elder brothers were named Lord Baylor.

As soon as this imperial decree came out, it touched many people.

It was the crown prince who felt the crisis. At this time, he really felt that the younger brothers below him were all grown up, especially Yinzhen, who had only been on errands for a few years, but each errand he did was more beautiful than the last one.

As the prince, although he didn't make any mistakes, he didn't have much credit.

This made the prince feel a sense of crisis, but also a little anxious.

The other one is the elder brother, he thinks it is unfair, why should he have the same title as the younger brother, Yinzhen has nothing to say, but what the third elder brother has done, he can also be the same as the king of the county like him .

This elder brother has a feeling that the king of the county is particularly cheap.

As for the third elder brother, although he was a little jealous of Yinzhen being valued, he felt quite lucky for his title of county king.

The fifth elder brother has not received the news yet, as for the ninth elder brother, he just thinks that this is really a pie that fell from the sky.

And brother Jiu knew very well that he was able to get this title thanks to his fourth brother's blessing. He was able to flourish in the mall mainly because of his temperament, he had a way of doing things, and he would repay his kindness, even if He didn't say anything, but he was grateful in his heart, thinking that when he had a chance in the future, he would definitely pay it back.
