"To be precise, this outbreak cannot be called epidemic, it should be called smallpox. It is a virus that comes from farm cattle and is highly contagious!"
"But by coincidence, my master happened to tell me the solution to this virus. Not only can I cure the infected people, but I can also make all people immune so that they will not be infected by this virus again in the future!"
Xiao Zhengtai smiled very confidently.
"Is what you kid said true?"
Ying Zheng's hair and beard trembled with excitement.
The civil and military forces of the entire dynasty were helpless against the current epidemic, and this guy actually said that he could prevent the common people from being infected in the future?
"According to what the young master said, the source of this epidemic is not wine, but cattle?"
Meng Yi heard the clue from the words and asked loudly.
"The wine in the winery is all made of mountain spring water. Where did the virus come from? The reason why we have this in common is because my winery is very popular today. Many people in Xianyang City are drinking Qingfeng Wine. Not only do they exist At this point, those who were not infected have also drank it, it’s just a coincidence!”
"The real source is the cattle!"
Xiao Zhengtai didn't explain before, because she didn't want to care about this matter at all. Anyone who is willing to take over can investigate it. Anyway, those who are clean will clean themselves up.
Unexpectedly, no one was willing to investigate. In the end, the job fell on me, so I had no choice but to explain!
"You can't just say whatever the source is, young master, right?"
Feng Jie refused.
The excuse I finally found cannot be easily taken off by this kid.
"Humph! This virus originated from cattle, and the antidote is also in cattle!"
Koshota crossed his arms on his chest and said with a smile.
"What? The antidote is also on the cattle? Where is it?"
Everyone has seen farm cattle, but why haven’t we found any medicinal materials on farm cattle?
"The antidote is cows infected with cowpox...!"
Xiao Shota continued seriously: "You can only get smallpox once in your life. As long as you survive this time, you will be immune for life! So as long as we all inoculate a little bit of cowpox venom, we will be immune to smallpox!"
Cowpox is smallpox after its toxicity has weakened. The harm to people after vaccination is very small, even insignificant, but it can prevent people from being harmed by smallpox forever!
He also plans to use this method to make people produce antibodies!
"What? Let's inoculate ourselves with venom? Isn't this a joke?"
Li Si flicked his sleeves and felt that this method was stupid.
Feng Jie and others also waved their hands repeatedly, refusing to accept it!
Xiang Liang and the others found the patient from nowhere. Their purpose was to make the boy a target of public criticism or to contract the virus, not to let them contract smallpox themselves.
Are you kidding me?
Even the mildest poison is still poison!
"I have a way. If the Prime Minister, General Li and others are unwilling, then it doesn't matter. Anyway, smallpox is extremely contagious and can be spread through the air. I have just come into contact with those patients. If I can't guarantee that there is already a virus in the hall, Everyone will get sick in a few days, don’t say that I didn’t tell you then...!"
Xiao Zhengtai made an indifferent expression and continued: "By the way, although smallpox is easy to cure, it does not mean that its toxicity is low. Its fatality rate is very high. Once infected, at least three out of ten people will die. It’s up to you all to decide whether you want to be vaccinated or not!”
After saying that, with Ying Zheng's nod, Xiao Zhengtai led three thousand soldiers of the Flying Eagles from Bieyuan to search for cows with cowpox throughout the city, squeeze out the venom, and inoculate the soldiers first.
The soldiers didn't nag as much as the ministers. They didn't even ask the reason, they just cut the skin and vaccinated!
Next are the people.
Only when all the people in the city are vaccinated can the spread of smallpox be truly stopped!
With the help of the three thousand Flying Eagle team members and the popularization of knowledge by Xiao Zhengtai, the people in the city cooperated, and within one day, all the people were vaccinated with cowpox!
As for those who were infected, Xiaozhengtai also found a prescription, prepared medicine according to the prescription, and sent someone to decoct it for them.
Three days later, the condition of all smallpox patients improved, and no new people became ill!
On the seventh day, all the patients were cured and returned to the city.
Ying Zheng summoned the patient who first became ill.
"Have you ever had smallpox before?"
"That's right, the common people accidentally contracted smallpox. It was the young master who saved me!"
The people knelt in the main hall and responded tremblingly.
"Really cured? So miraculous?"
"It seems that the immunity method is really effective!"
"Then... how about we give it a try?"
"Yes, give it a try to avoid getting infected later!"
…
After seeing the people who had recovered from the disease, many ministers came up with the idea of vaccinating with cowpox.
"Vaccination against cowpox is safe and effective, and all ministers must be vaccinated!"
Ying Zheng announced immediately.
"this……?"
The facial features of Li Si and others were tangled together.
But there is really no other way. Who dares to disobey Ying Zheng’s order?
Besides, there is not a single voice of opposition in the entire court!
Everyone has seen the effectiveness of Xiao Zhengtai's fight against smallpox, and everyone has changed from previous doubts to convinced. If you don't get vaccinated, will you be waiting for a new round of smallpox infection?
"Master Prime Minister? What's going on? Why does that kid know how to cure smallpox?"
After the morning court, Feng Jie, Li Xin and others gathered at Li Si's house and asked suspiciously.
"How do I know? That Xiang Liang and Fan Zeng said that this kind of epidemic spreads very quickly. As long as that kid goes to check, he will definitely be infected. Who would have thought that that kid actually knows this kind of epidemic? Could it be that he really has a fairy master?"
Li Si gritted his teeth in hatred.
In order to successfully remove that kid, he even agreed to introduce the current epidemic and sacrificed the lives of half the city's people in exchange for the kid's infection.
Unexpectedly, he failed to achieve the purpose of infecting Xiao Zhengtai and made him a big star. Now the people in the whole city are grateful to him and are more respectful than before!
As for the false accusation that there is something wrong with Xiao Zhengtai's wine, it is even less true. They even told the name, characteristics, treatment methods, and sources. It is simply impossible to frame her!
"Isn't it possible that Xiang Liang and the young master are in the same group? They are pretending to come up with ideas, but in fact they are trying to trick us?"
This matter was so strange that Li Xin had to become suspicious.
"It's not like that! The hatred carried by Xiang Liang, Fan Zeng and others that day was real. They wanted to use the people's fear of smallpox to guide public opinion and win over the people!"
Li Si shook his head.
It's not that he doesn't know the intentions of Xiang Liang and others, but he only agreed to cooperate in order to achieve their goals!
Unexpectedly, he failed to achieve his goal in the end, allowing the boy to resolve it easily!
"That boy's fate is really high. It seems that we need to take a long-term approach and come up with a foolproof plan before executing it!"
The plan failed many times, Feng Jie said cautiously.
"Yes, this kid has won a lot of public support, and he can no longer be brought down by a simple impeachment!"
Li Si nodded.
Maybe an impeachment could resolve the matter before, but not now!
After many incidents, Xiao Zhengtai has a high reputation among the people. If you want to harm him, you must first consider his influence among the people!
They haven't forgotten the incident of thousands of people breaking into Zhao Cheng's mansion!
