smallpox?
Zhu Biao was in a daze. It wasn't that he didn't know about the disease, but he was curious about what Zhang Yi said about solving smallpox. What does it have to do with his future wife and children?
Zhang Yidao:
"You want to save your sweetheart directly, but you are not worthy. She is the future crown princess! However, her fate is not unchangeable, and the most important thing is her eldest son!
Chang's poor physical and mental state were caused by the death of her eldest son. If the eldest son had not died, the tragedy that followed might not have happened...
So instead of focusing on things you can’t solve, solve the root of that child’s problem! "
Zhang Yi talked eloquently, but Zhu Biao was confused.
"Generally, children die in an accident, most likely due to diseases such as smallpox and wind-cold. Among them, smallpox is the most annoying. I have a method that can solve the smallpox problem once and for all. If it is promoted, your Baiyueguang child may He won’t die!”
“To solve smallpox?”
Zhu Biao's expression became strange again. Zhang Yi was treating smallpox?
In fact, in ancient times, smallpox has always been the god of death that lingers around everyone. If you have not survived smallpox, you have not truly survived. This is the consensus of the people.
Even if they are emperors, generals, princes, nobles, or if their family members are infected with smallpox, they still have to go to the Lord of Hell to report it.
Since ancient times, no one has ever heard of anyone claiming that smallpox can be cured.
"Brother, can you cure smallpox?"
"NO~NO~NO~"
Zhang Yi waved his hand and said: "Smallpox cannot be cured, but it can be prevented! People who are vaccinated against variolation and cowpox will never be infected with smallpox. This method is called a vaccine!"
When Zhu Biao heard it, it was like listening to a book from heaven.
He asked: "Is this method taught by gods?"
Zhang Yi rolled his eyes and said: "No, this is what I saw in the heavenly book, a method from the future! People in the future will find that people who can survive smallpox will always be immune to smallpox, so some people learn how to survive smallpox. The pimples on the person’s body were pricked with needles, and then the poisoned needles were pricked into themselves!”
The method he described really disgusted Zhu Biao. Zhu Biao asked:
"Are you seeking your own death?"
"Let yourself get smallpox once, but because the amount of virus carried is small, the smallpox that people get after vaccination will be very mild, and most people can survive it. This is a method of fighting poison with poison, but there is a risk of infection with needle sticks. Later, people discovered another method, which is to take the recovered scabs from smallpox patients and use them as vaccinia. They will be put into a new porcelain bottle, sealed and stored in a cool place. They can be stored for one month in spring and one and a half months in cold winter. This becomes the prepared seedling. The pulp seedling method is to directly dip a cotton ball into the pox slurry of a smallpox patient, and then stuff it into the nasal cavity of the vaccinated person. This is the nasal seedling method..."
"Later, people discovered that human pox was not as safe as cowpox, so they improved it again..."
Zhang Yi told about the past and present life of smallpox vaccine, but Zhu Biao felt like he was listening to a book from heaven. When he reacted, he became very excited.
Because he finally understood that if this method was really effective, it would not be a matter of curing his future son, but would be a matter of great merit for the Ming Dynasty and even China as a whole.
"Really effective?"
Zhu Biao rolled his eyes and replied:
"That's natural. If I hadn't been able to get cowpox, why would I have told you? Brother Huang, it doesn't matter whether you believe it or not. Just follow my method and find a way to get me a copy of the vaccine. Just treat it like it's me." It’s my reward for all my hard work in helping you relieve your worries!”
The reason why Zhang Yi kindly told Zhu Biao how to vaccinate him was largely for his own benefit.
He is too young to do many things.
Now that you have decided to survive in this troubled world, how to protect yourself is the most critical, and to protect your life, various vaccines are indispensable.
Apart from other things, smallpox, a virus that indiscriminately selects people to send to the Lord of Hell, is something Zhang Yi must solve.
However, even if he has a way to make a vaccine, who can trust him as a seven-year-old child? After leaving this Taoist temple, it was hard to say whether he would be able to find smallpox patients.
But Huang Mu is different. He comes from a merchant family and can travel everywhere.
It's a reliable thing to have him find a vaccine for yourself.
Moreover, he knew that Huang Mu's secret love for the girl from the Chang family was destined to be a fruitless love affair. Finding something for him to do would help the licking dog feel a little more involved.
"Vaccinium, cowpox... don't worry, brother, I will find it for you!"
Zhu Biao agreed to Zhang Yi. In fact, smallpox occurs all the time and everywhere in this era.
Wanting to find a cow infected with the plague, Zhang Yi couldn't but he could find it.
Understanding how much benefit Zhang Yi's casual suggestion would bring to Ming Dynasty, he could no longer sit still.
"Brother, can I tell the Chang family girl about this recipe?"
Zhu Biao asked Zhang Yi that this recipe could be regarded as a hard-to-find secret recipe, and he also wondered why Zhang Yi would tell it.
Zhang Yi replied:
"There's no need to keep it a secret, Brother Zhang, just do what's easy for you!"
Zhang Yi didn't care about the so-called secret recipe. If the method of vaccination could be spread in China hundreds of years in advance, he would be happy to see it.
When he was in Longhu Mountain, he "accidentally" revealed this method, but no one really believed him.
Zhu Biao was in awe of Zhang Yi's attitude. Although he had not yet verified this method, he took it seriously and bowed to Zhang Yi.
"If this method is effective, my younger brother will be Hua Tuo! Just wait a moment, I will go find cowpox for you right away..."
Zhu Biao, who was originally lost, seemed to have found the direction of his efforts and became radiant.
He couldn't wait to say goodbye to Zhang Yi and turned back to the palace.
"Licking a dog is licking a dog. I feel so excited when I feel a little bit involved!"
Zhang Yi watched Zhu Biao leave, his venomous tongue still unforgiving.
But Zhu Biao didn't hear it, and he continued to write what he hadn't finished.
…
On the other side, Zhu Biao returned to the palace with excitement.
East Pavilion, the emperor's office.
The prince entered directly without waiting for anyone to inform him.
As long as he entered the imperial study, the emperor always handled government affairs there. Zhu Yuanzhang did not raise his head when he heard his son coming in.
"You went to see Zhang Yi?"
"Well, my son..."
"It's a good thing that you have affection for the Chang family girl, but it's not the blessing of the emperor to be able to suppress what's in your heart, Biao'er, do you understand?"
Zhu Yuanzhang raised his head and stared at Zhu Biao, slightly dissatisfied.
He understood that Zhu Biao couldn't help but go to Zhang Yi to seek answers because of his affection for the Chang family girl and being shocked by Zhang Yi's prediction.
Zhu Biao was stunned, then lowered his head and bowed silently to the emperor.
"Okay, tell me what benefits you got from that kid?"
The emperor tapped Zhu Biao slightly and then passed it over with one stroke.
Zhu Biao replied:
"My son heard about Uncle Chang and the Chang family girls from Zhang Yi, and also got two life-saving prescriptions!"
"oh!"
Zhu Yuanzhang became interested. He raised his head and waited for the next step.
