Li Min heard Li Shimin's order.
Laughed.
"These aristocratic families are so interesting! If they don't make good money, they have to raise the price of food and the price of raw materials for masks. They really dislike too many people! They don't know what will happen if they do this at this time. Die?"
Regarding the price increase, these aristocratic families are simply asking for trouble.
Sure enough, the whole of Chang'an was shaken.
Because another person from an aristocratic family was killed by nearly a hundred people because of price gouging.
As soon as this move came out, the people of the aristocratic family immediately became quiet.
How dare they do such a thing again.
Especially at this time, that's just hitting the point of the gun.
These people are also stupid. They dare to enrich the country. If I don’t kill you, who will I kill?
In this way, it would save Li Min from taking action again.
At this moment, the Minister of Household Affairs trotted over.
"Mr. Zili, what's wrong, we locked all the cows together according to your wishes. Now all the cows are infected with cowpox, which is very serious. As a result, we have suffered heavy losses!"
The minister of household affairs was about to cry.
These are all money. If these cows die of illness, then I am afraid that my responsibility will not be small.
Although some sick cows can only be bought at a 50% discount, overall, it is still a lot of money!
Unexpectedly, Li Min said: "Great!"
This puzzled everyone.
Is this too good?
Is Li Min crazy?
Or did you do it on purpose?
Then, without waiting for anyone to ask questions.
He stood up. "Servant Tobe, you lead the way. Everyone bring glass containers and we go collect the cowpox liquid!"
The next step is to collect the cowpox used for vaccination, then inactivate it into powder, and then inoculate it.
This series of work cannot be ambiguous.
At the same time, his equipment and other equipment have been built, and he is just waiting to collect the cowpox liquid!
But as soon as his words came out, everyone rejected them.
After all, we are all officials, so how could we do such a thing? And that thing is very disgusting!
Li Min saw that everyone was unmoved.
"What? Don't you all want to go?"
His face turned ugly. Whoever dared to say no would get angry and catch one of them to teach him a lesson to scare the monkeys!
"No, no, no, let's go! Let's go!"
When he asked this, everyone was scared.
"What are you waiting for?"
Even Sun Simiao found it incredible.
He believed that there were many things that could cure diseases, but he had never seen that cowpox could be used as medicine.
So out of curiosity, he still raised questions.
"Mr. Zili, can you tell me? What is the purpose of doing this?"
During this period of time, Li Min never told them,
About cowpox curing smallpox.
After this period of guidance, everyone knows some basic knowledge.
So, now the time is ripe.
Looking at everyone with puzzled expressions, waiting for his response.
He decided to tell them all the reasons.
Let them know why.
So Quan said: "The reason why people get smallpox is that smallpox is a virus!"
"What is a virus?"
Sun Simiao asked.
It sounds like something mysterious at first glance. For the ancients, it was simply something very difficult to understand.
They have difficulty understanding what this so-called virus is.
"You can understand that they are a group of killers! And our body is a city. When they attack the city, we will feel uncomfortable. If the soldiers in the city cannot clear them out in time, then we will die!"
Everyone seems to understand this metaphor, but they don’t quite understand it.
"What's the deal with cowpox?"
"This is even simpler! Cowpox is like a weak killer. When we put it into people's bodies, they will be eliminated quickly, and the body will recognize their appearance. When a killer like smallpox kills When we arrived at the city, they were discovered before they even entered the city, so we immediately eliminated them without giving them a chance to enter the city. This is why I did the cowpox treatment!"
Sun Simiao seemed to understand a little.
Someone asked: "Is it really useful? If not, what if people die?"
Regarding this point, Li Min stretched out his hand, revealing the scars on his arm.
"This is the cowpox I vaccinated myself some time ago. It healed in the end, and I am no longer afraid of smallpox! I have been in contact with patients these days. Do you think I am sick?"
If this method is popularized, will smallpox still have a place to survive? "
It turned out to be so, and people suddenly realized.
It turned out that Li Min had done such a thing before.
Someone said: "So that's how it is. No wonder Mr. Zili is the youngest among our group!"
Yes, Li Min is the youngest compared to others. Everyone is still wondering, if Li Min had smallpox a few years ago, there must have been a pandemic, but think about it, there has been no such situation in the past few years! People didn’t understand it before, but now they know it!
"Then how to vaccinate?"
Someone asked this.
"Use a sharp instrument to cut the wound, and then touch the wound with cowpox to inoculate it! But before that, you still have to go through some processes."
"So that's it, I seem to have learned something! Cowpox is not a disease shared by humans and animals. Although it affects humans, it is only minor. If this is the case, then we can draw inferences from one example and look for some animal diseases that have the same origin as the infectious disease. Maybe it can alleviate people’s pain!”
Sun Simiao was worthy of being the king of medicine, and he had no problem thinking about it.
From now on, it would be best to let him take charge of medical research.
Regarding medical equipment, whether it is steel, glass, or some other supplies, Shengtang Group can make them.
It also provides a lot of foundation for the development of medicine in the future.
"Master Sun is right, that's it! Therefore, we must hurry, today is the third day, and there are still seven days left, and we will strive to inoculate all the people of the Tang Dynasty with cowpox!"
Everyone suddenly realized it, but they still had doubts in their hearts.
"Okay, you all know it, let's go now to collect cowpox!"
Li Min said this.
Sun Simiao naturally walked to the front.
Although the civil and military officials were somewhat reluctant, they still followed.
At this time, one person deliberately walked at the end.
He said bitterly: "Huh, no matter what, we are also officials of the imperial court, but I don't want to be treated like a monkey envoy, I don't accept it!"
"Changsun Shunde, if a good man doesn't suffer the consequences, just obey. When this matter comes to His Majesty, you have to do it. And without his disinfection equipment, you can't get out at all. Even if you get out, you will be killed by others." We have been quarantined, and now the whole of Chang'an is very strict!"
An official advised.
Others said: "Let's go quickly, don't make him angry if it's too late. We have to keep vigil to take care of the patients again!"
The group of people could only sigh and headed towards the cowshed.
