History Live Broadcast: Show Zulong At The Beginning Of Hu Hai's Usurpation Of The Throne

Listening to the peddler's proud words, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, and Yuchi Jingde looked at each other and smiled, saying,

"My little brother! How is your candied haws business? Is it easy to sell?"

The peddler said proudly,

"Look at what question this master asked? This is the snack craft that Princess Changle brought back from the fairyland! The candied haws she made are so delicious! To tell the truth from this master, this hawthorn, which no one can eat in previous years, has been sold since then. After being used to make candied haws this year, the sales are very tight! Hawthorns have increased in price several times..."

Hearing the peddler's words, Li Shimin was in a good mood!

After all, Li Shimin originally promoted the production process of candied haws in order to solve the unsalable hawthorns for fruit farmers and promote the economic development of the Tang Dynasty. Now it is obvious that the promotion of the production process of candied haws has achieved significant results!

"Yes! Give each of us a bunch of candied haws!"

Li Shimin smiled and bought four bunches of candied haws, and distributed them to Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Yuchi Jingde.

Changsun Wuji ate a mouthful of candied haws and said with a smile,

"Your Majesty, Princess Changle is really ingenious! I just made the candied haws by myself. I think the princess is about to get married now, Your Majesty."

Before Changsun Wuji finished speaking, Li Shimin laughed and said,

"I said Wuji, Changle's candied haws made a lot of troubles for Xuanling! As for the matter of getting married... Are you thinking about your son Changsun Chong? Hey! I intend to betroth Changle to you Chonger, but..."

Li Shimin said, shaking his head.

Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, and Yuchi Jingde were all puzzled, Changsun Wuji said,

"What does His Majesty want to say?"

Li Shimin showed a helpless expression and said,

"However, Changle seems to be interested in immortals! Ever since I came back from seeing immortals in the fairyland last time, Changle will take out pictures of immortals every day to look at them! I asked Guanyin's servant to find out many times, and every time my ears immediately turned red. ! I don’t know how to talk to Chang Le..."

Hearing what Li Shimin said, Changsun Wuji felt speechless for a while. After all, compared with the immortal, his son Changsun Chong is still a ball?

Fang Xuanling laughed,

"Your Majesty don't need to worry about this, maybe the princess will realize that immortality is different one day, and she will give up her fantasy! It won't be too late to decide on a marriage for the princess!"

Changsun Wuji smiled and said,

"Yes, yes! There is no need to worry about this......"

Li Shimin sighed,

"I am not worried about Changle now. What I am worried about now is that after Jieli Khan led the army back to Turkic, he did not travel to the Weishui alliance on that day, and did not offer the agreed 20,000 head of cattle and sheep to the Great Tang. , 30,000 good horses! Where does this make me face the Tang Dynasty?"

In fact, Li Shimin had long expected that Jieli Khan would break the contract and would not reward Datang with the agreed cattle, sheep and horses, but when things came to an end, he still felt that he would lose face and damage the dignity of Datang!

Yuchi Jingde said,

"Your Majesty, why bother about this matter? Directly command the ministers to lead the army and go to the Turkic to ask for it in person! If he dares not give it, we will blow up the Turkic lair with explosives!"

Li Shimin shook his head and said,

"Why don't I want to send troops to attack the Turks? But now the second season of sweet potatoes has just been planted, and they will not mature until March. Only then can we, the Tang Dynasty, mobilize sufficient food to prepare for the war against the Turks!

What's more, Turkic and Xue Yantuo take care of each other. Before Turkic suffered heavy losses, they must try their best to win Xue Yantuo after returning. At this time, the two must be like a rope twisted together! Although Turkic may be weak and frustrated now, but with Xue Yantuo's support, my Great Tang It is difficult to seize the opportunity to destroy the Turks!"

Listening to Li Shimin's analysis, Fang Xuanling nodded thoughtfully, followed closely but seemed to remember something, her eyes lit up suddenly, and said,

"actually………………

Before Fang Xuanling could say a word, several passers-by came towards him with terrified faces, and said loudly as they walked,

"Hey, hello! Have you heard? The villagers who passed by Niujiawan Village this morning said that the entire village of Niujiawan Village outside Lingzhou City has died!"

Hearing the passerby's conversation, Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji, and Yuchi Jingde's attention all shifted to the passerby, Fang Xuanling was also startled, swallowed the words she hadn't spoken yet, and looked at the passerby!

Li Shimin stopped the passerby and asked,

"My little brother! What did you just say? All the people in a village died? How did they die? Could it be that the Turks invaded again?"

The passer-by and his companion were taken aback, glanced at Li Shimin's expensive clothes, and said,

"You guys are foreigners, right? This story is almost spread in Lingzhou City now! But it wasn't the Turks who did it! Ever since the Turks suffered a loss at His Majesty's hands last time, they have already put their tails between their legs How dare you invade my Great Tang......"

Hearing the words of passers-by, Li Shimin felt a little relieved.

Seeing that there seemed to be no reason to ask from the passers-by, remembering that Li Jing, who was then the commander of the Lingzhou Road, was in Lingzhou, Li Shimin immediately said to Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, and Yuchi Jingde

"It's rare for me to come to Lingzhou, and I heard such things happened in Lingzhou! Let me go and see the pharmacist, and see if the pharmacist knows something..."

Li Shimin and his team quickly found Li Jing!

Li Jing was surprised to see that Li Shimin took Fang Xuanling and others in low clothes to Lingzhou, and he quickly bowed to Li Shimin,

"Meet Your Majesty!"

Li Shimin gestured for Li Jing to excuse himself, and asked,

"Pharmacist, I heard from Baixin in the city that all the people in Niujiawan Village outside Lingzhou City have died! What's going on here?"

Li Jing was surprised, and quickly said,

"Your Majesty has heard about it? The 147 people in Niujiawan Village are indeed all dead! It seems to be some kind of plague... The government has sent medical officers to check..."

"plague?"

Li Shimin frowned, and decided to stay at Li Jing's place for the time being, to see what kind of plague it was, and it was so serious!

Soon, the yamen released the news that all 147 people in Niujiawan Village died of smallpox!

Now Niujiawan Village has been completely sealed off, but the other two neighboring (acej) villages have been followed by villagers who have high fevers and suspected symptoms of smallpox!

Li Shimin was shocked when he heard the news!

At this time, smallpox has no cure, it spreads quickly, and the mortality rate is extremely high!

Fortunately, the epidemic has been brought under control for the time being. Although there are suspected cases in neighboring villages, as long as it is not smallpox, it is easy to say!

While Li Shimin felt uneasy, he also held a fluke attitude, hoping that the smallpox would not spread!

But things often backfire!

Three days later, smallpox outbreaks were confirmed one after another in two villages adjacent to Niujiawan!

And it continues to spread!

Can't control it at all!

The entire Lingzhou city was filled with panic!

Li Shimin also closely followed the persuasion of Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Yuchi Jingde, and Li Jing, and urgently suspended the tour in micro-service, and returned to Chang'an!

On this day, Li Shimin went to Taiji Palace to greet Li Yuan as usual.

Seeing Li Shimin's frowning and absent-minded appearance, Li Yuan rolled his eyes at Li Shimin and asked,

"Aren't you quite capable? What's the matter? You have a sad face, as if someone owes you 80,000 yuan......

Hearing Li Yuan's joke, Li Shimin smiled wryly and said,

"Father doesn't know anything! My son just came back from a tour in Lingzhou Weifu, but a plague broke out in Lingzhou! Early this morning, my son also received an urgent report about Lingzhou, saying that the epidemic had spread to the city, Outside the city, more than a thousand people have already died..."

Hearing this, Li Yuan looked at Li Shimin in surprise, and said,

"What kind of plague is so violent? The Lingzhou government didn't control the source of infection as soon as it discovered the epidemic?"

Li Shimindao,

"smallpox!"

Hearing the two words that came out of Li Shimin's mouth, Li Yuan was stunned!

Li Yuan naturally knew the power of smallpox, and the reason why Li Yuan was stunned was because Li Shimin had brought the news of smallpox outbreak in Lingzhou, and secondly, because Li Yuan remembered a very important thing!

"Are you sure it's smallpox?"

Li Shimin didn't understand why Li Yuan asked such a question, he stared at Li Yuan with a puzzled expression and nodded, saying,

"It's true!"

Li Yuan immediately dug out a small box from the house, took out a book from the box, handed it to Li Shimin,

"Look! What is this!"

Li Shimin's eyes lit up when he saw the large characters on the cover of the book, and said,

"This is the [Smallpox Prevention and Control Method] that my father obtained from the fairyland? How could I forget this!"

Li Shimin said happily, quickly took the book from Li Yuan, and flipped through it!

But looking at it, the surprise on Li Shimin's face gradually turned into doubt, he frowned and looked at Li Yuandao,

"Father! This method of inoculation with smallpox is to squeeze out the pus from a cow that has smallpox, and smear it on the wounds of healthy people! Doesn't this mean that healthy people are also infected with smallpox?"

No wonder Li Shimin was so surprised!

Because everyone knows that if you are contaminated with the pus of smallpox patients and smallpox cows, you will definitely be infected with smallpox!

And the end of contracting smallpox is most likely to wait for death!

Although there are some people who survived after getting smallpox, those are very few existences!

And after he recovered, he still had pockmarks all over his face......

Looking at the puzzled Li Shimin, Li Yuan said,

"Keep reading! I've read this book. It says that those who have recovered from smallpox will never be infected with smallpox for the rest of their lives! In reality, there are indeed such examples."

Li Shimin continued to read hesitantly. Although he still felt unbelievable, he thought that this book was obtained from a fairyland, and now the epidemic in Lingzhou is getting worse!

If there is no way to solve this crisis, how many people will die from this smallpox plague!

Thinking of this, Li Shimin immediately closed the book and bid farewell to Li Yuan,

"Father, regardless of whether the vaccinia vaccination method recorded in this book is really useful, I have to decide to give it a try! I will take my leave first!"

Li Yuan nodded,

"Go!"

Li Shimin immediately left with his books, and urgently summoned hundreds of officials to discuss the method of experimenting with vaccinia vaccination!
