Chapter 403 Good news has arrived
"Good news, Your Majesty, good news, Your Majesty..."
After Zhang Han entered Xianyang City, he ran directly to the palace. After arriving at the palace, Zhang Han started running and shouting.
This caused everyone in the palace to be attracted by Zhang Han's shouts.
During the seven days, I was in a state of having trouble sleeping and eating, and often asked the eunuch serving beside me if Zhang Han was back.
These seven days were the most difficult time for the eunuch around Ying Zheng. Every time Ying Zheng asked him, he was frightened. He knew how Zhao Gao died.
Even close confidants like Zhao Gao were killed when Ying Zheng asked, and he even killed the whole family, directly barbarizing the nine tribes.
He was deeply afraid that he would follow in Zhao Gao's footsteps. It didn't matter if he lost his life. What he was afraid of was his own people.
The eunuch who had been with him for seven days was filled with joy when he heard Zhang Han's voice.
The eunuch turned around with excitement on his face and shouted: "Your Majesty, Zhang Han is here, Zhang Han is back."
Ying Zheng, who was reviewing the memorial, immediately stood up and shouted: "Where are the people? Where are the people?"
"Your Majesty, I have already arrived. Listen, he keeps shouting good news." The eunuch said with a smile.
Ying Zheng also heard Zhang Han's voice at this time, and immediately left his seat and ran to the door of the hall. He watched a person's figure slowly grow larger and the voice became clearer and clearer.
Ying Zheng didn't want to wait anymore and ran towards Zhang Han quickly.
When Zhang Han saw Ying Zheng running towards him, he quickened his pace and knelt down when he was almost close to Ying Zheng.
Seeing this, Ying Zheng held Zhang Han's arms before Zhang Han knelt down, and asked impatiently: "How's it going?"
"Your Majesty, it's successful." Zhang Han said excitedly, with indescribable joy on his face.
"Did it really succeed?" Ying Zheng said in disbelief.
What is smallpox? When he was a hostage in Zhao State, he saw with his own eyes the fate of people infected with smallpox.
The officers and soldiers directly slaughtered all the villagers. If this was not enough, they also burned the village. After the village was completely burned, they had to check to see if anything was missing.
No fish will be allowed to slip through the net.
As long as there are people infected with smallpox, basically this village or city will be killed and burned by the court, otherwise it may not be a city or village matter.
Now that Zhang Han said it was successful, doesn't it mean that they no longer have to be afraid of smallpox?
"Okay, great." Ying Zheng said excitedly, "This is the best news I have heard in the past few days.
Come, come with me to the main hall and talk about how Qin An treated smallpox. "
"No." Zhang Han responded excitedly.
In this way, Zhang Han explained Qin An's arrangements in Zhaojiacun in detail in the main hall, including finding cows with cowpox, taking care of patients with smallpox, and vaccination of the whole village. I said it all again.
Among them, Zhang Han made it clearer that all the people should stay at home, and then the yamen would distribute food according to the population.
In order to solve the problem of food for the people, Qin An asked all the merchants, vendors, and even chefs to join the cooking process and cook meals for more than 10,000 villagers.
Even Qin An came on stage, and all the women, even those who could only make some money, helped.
Cook three meals a day for the villagers.
After the meals were prepared, all the officers and soldiers personally delivered them to each household.
Seven days later, all the people in the village knelt outside Qin An's gate and thanked Qin An for his life-saving grace. That's not all. The most important thing is gratitude, which makes them dignified and lets them know that the government values them.
Zhang Han told Ying Zheng that even if the current Zhaojiacun were citizens of the Six Kingdoms before and were the most loyal people to the Six Kingdoms, they would now recognize themselves as Qin people.
"What a powerful method." Ying Zheng said in admiration.
Ying Zheng was very satisfied with Qin An's arrangement. Although it seemed that Zhaojiacun had lost a lot of money and food, Qin An had gathered the strength of the entire Zhaojiacun.
This power is very terrifying. If the world is in chaos after his death, Qin An can rely on this power to quickly expand his power.
Liu Bang and Xiang Yu had nothing to do with them at that time.
The world will belong to Qin An.
"Your Majesty," Zhang Han said, "Sir, the arrangements will be the same when an epidemic occurs in the future. The city will be closed first, then the streets, the community, etc., and the people will not be allowed to go out anyway.
All expenses are borne by the state. Even for work wages, they will be given basic wages. After the lockdown is lifted, they will have money to buy food to survive.
The husband felt that we were sorry for the villagers because we just kept them from going out and did not give them living expenses. "
"Haha... Qin An is indeed Qin An, but he can think of things like living expenses.
It is already very difficult for the imperial court to give them a bowl of rice. "Ying Zheng said.
Zhang Han nodded and said, "Your Majesty is right. It's just that your ideas are too outstanding and we can't adapt to them for a while."
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "You're right. But he can do whatever he wants in Zhaojia Village. By the way, have all the cows that have contracted cowpox been brought?"
"Reporting to Your Majesty. The cow is on its way and it will take some time. The minister is hurrying back."
Ying Zheng nodded and said, "Approximately when will we arrive."
"We can arrive early tomorrow morning."
Ying Zheng nodded and said: "Since the method of vaccination is effective, then tomorrow I will let everyone see me on the city gate to vaccinate myself, not just me, but all the concubines, princesses, sons, civil and military officials in the palace." All ministers must be vaccinated.
I want the people to know that vaccination can indeed prevent smallpox, and I will test the medicine myself. "
"Your Majesty is wise." Zhang Han said, "Your Majesty, now you are asking Dr. Xia to write a medical book, so that all Chinese prescriptions, medicinal materials, cases, etc. can be written into the medical book.
Therefore, Imperial Physician Xia hopes that His Majesty can order the collection of all Imperial Physician's prescriptions, cases, etc., as well as acupuncture, massage, bone-setting and other medical techniques. "
Ying Zheng nodded slightly and said: "Qin An's idea is so special. As a result, not everyone in the world can be a doctor, and the medical family will develop and grow. This is a good thing and a bad thing."
"Your Majesty, this is obviously a good thing, how could it be a bad thing?" Zhang Han asked in confusion.
Ying Zheng sighed and said: "Everyone in the world studies medicine, so who will govern the country? What I want is a talent for governing the country, not a miracle doctor who can cure diseases and save people."
"In this case, Wei Chen will tell you sir that there are not that many prescriptions."
Ying Zheng waved his hand and said: "No, since Qin An has spoken, even if you don't give it to him now, he will still complete the matter in the future.
Why don't we let him finish it now and I'll have a chance to change things. "
Some people died, but not completely...
