Aren't you afraid of death?

Aren't you rich?

Aren’t you both rich and afraid of death?

Just right!

This palace has specially prepared a good VIP ward for you, the ward number is "666666"!

If you stay in this kind of ward, you are guaranteed to have everything go smoothly, and you no longer have to worry about the Lord of Hell coming to your door!

A meal costs six dishes plus six meters, the bed has six legs, and the care requires six nurses.

Any other requirements can be met!

The important thing is to make the patient happy! Good health! Everything goes well!

It's just that the charge is a little higher, you have to pay sixty-six taels of silver a day!

But compared to such considerate service, this fee is nothing.

For wealthy people who are not short of money, the most important thing about staying in the VIP ward is to go smoothly!

Otherwise, just stay in the general ward. With so many people crowded together, the price will drop a lot!

The VIP ward only has one bed. There is also a bathroom in the room, a ceramic toilet inside, and a sofa outside. There is also a phone installed for you, and someone comes to deliver the newly published newspaper every morning. It is so grand!

Thinking about it this way, it's definitely not expensive. In front of Shu Tan, what does money mean?

This is the ward where rich people should live. The sooner you launch it, the sooner you can make money. Oh no, we have already served the rich people!

A certain prince initially only set up a slightly higher-end ward, which was not as luxurious as a private hospital.

But according to what Dean Wu said, it seems that part of the hospital's expenses may be solved.

The bed fee for an ordinary ward is only one hundred yuan a day, and only three taels of silver a month. It is a completely down-to-earth price.

At present, the bed fee in the VIP ward is only 500 yuan. Including catering and other services, the daily cost is only 20 taels of silver.

The wealthy people are dissatisfied with the bed number, which means that their dissatisfaction goes far beyond that.

The hospital, especially the service level of the inpatient department, must be improved in all aspects.

It is necessary to "measure measures according to the conditions of the disease" and fully tap the financial resources of high-end patients.

Let them know that even if they are hospitalized for medical treatment, they can enjoy service quality comparable to that of entertainment venues.

You can also hire some ladies to provide massage services in the VIP ward of the hospital.

"Only you can't think of it but I can't do it", this is our service concept!

A certain prince was very experienced in extracting gold.

"Dean Wu, now that the Donglu Pass is about to be closed, the Army Hospital must return to normal and will mainly treat soldiers of the Wang Division. At present, all patients with mild symptoms can go home to continue recuperation, and we will strive to free up seven hospitals within fifteen days. to provide more than 100 beds. I will send people to convert the nearby vacated Xungui Mansion into seven inpatient departments, so that the Army Hospital will have ten inpatient departments, including 5,000 beds. President Wu needs to redeploy manpower to take charge of management The newly established inpatient department is prepared to receive injured soldiers sent to the hospital on a large scale. After the defeat of Donglu, the expanded army hospital can also better serve the people of the capital."

Calculated based on the scale of 5,000 serious injuries, the total number of casualties will reach about 30,000.

The total number of garrison troops around Jifu, including the Great Wall, is only 100,000. This assumption of casualties is relatively objective and realistic.

The fact that 30% of the defending soldiers were injured or killed shows that Braid's siege will be quite violent, and it is necessary to be prepared for a rainy day at this time.

For minor injuries, just apply medicine and bandage on the spot, and for those who died in battle, just collect and incinerate them on the spot. Most of those who can be hospitalized are unable to move, but they will not die for a while.

Even if these people are cured, they will suffer serious sequelae. In the future, they will have to be arranged by the Ministry of War, just like the wounded soldiers of the Qin army who put down the rebellion in the Beijing camp.

After these people recover, many of them are unwilling to go back to the poor place of Shaanxi. After seeing the prosperity of the capital, most of them want to stay, and the requirements are not high, as long as they are given food to eat.

Naturally, a certain prince would not force others to do anything. As long as the seriously injured people meet the hospital's disability standards, regardless of whether they can take care of themselves or not, they will receive one to two five cents of silver per month, plus thirty kilograms of polished rice.

In addition, a settlement allowance of 100 taels of silver is provided at a time, and half a house (two people per room) is provided, which will be recovered until death.

This was unimaginable in Shaanxi, and these wounded men were naturally extremely grateful to a certain prince.

Those who can take care of themselves, that is, their limbs are almost intact and their movements are close to those of normal people, will also be assigned to work.

Some non-important material warehouses were taken care of by these wounded soldiers. This was at least an errand, and they were not tiring.

A small number of literate wounded soldiers can still work as minor officials in charge, and their remuneration will naturally increase.

These errands are all under the banner of the Ministry of War, because the Ministry of War also has a large ordnance reserve in the capital.

Presumably after this battle, there will be more such people in the capital. This is the price to pay for fighting off Braid.

A certain prince estimated that fighting such a war, including personnel, food, wages, and ordnance, would cost at least fifteen million taels of silver.

If Huang Taiji really had the patience to besiege the city for a long time, the Ming Beiting's military expenditure for this might reach 20 million taels of silver.

If the braids come once a year and last for half a year, Beiting will go bankrupt in less than three years.

A certain prince could not withstand Braid's "three consecutive attacks", and huddled defense was also a very expensive tactic.

Think about the person who dumped the blame five years later. Without money, you can't even think about it!

"Yes, Your Highness! One more thing, I don't know when Your Highness plans to use magic to defeat the enemy!"

Wu Youxing had read the newspapers and knew that the current situation had changed. Once the two sides fought at the foot of the capital, casualties would be inevitable.

Therefore, the matter of vaccination suddenly came to mind. Judging from the appearance of His Royal Highness, it seemed that the smallpox virus had not yet broken out, perhaps it was still in the latent stage.

But we need to take advantage of this visit to ask about the approximate time, otherwise the hospital will be in a hurry and will really be unable to cooperate with His Highness the Crown Prince's military operations.

"Dean, only you and I know about this matter for the time being, so I will not deliberately hide it from you. The dean is an expert in the industry, and he naturally knows how powerful this virus is. If you want to solve Donglu Ke once and for all, Pass, the Donglu must be inoculated with this virus on a large scale. How to inoculate? That is to inoculate them when the Donglu attack the city. Generally speaking, whether it is a blunderbuss or a crossbow, the closer the distance, The hit rate is higher. If 3,000 Donglu people are poisoned, if isolation measures are not taken, within a month, these 3,000 people may infect 30,000 people. Even if the Donglu troops entering the customs this time reach 20, Ten thousand people will also be afraid that the smallpox virus will ravage their camps, and they will inevitably withdraw their troops as soon as possible. Therefore, the key to defeating the Donglu is when the Donglu come to attack the city. If they do not come in the early stage and choose to besiege the city for reinforcements, Wang Shi will need a Stop quietly and wait patiently for the opportunity to strike."

If Braid doesn't come to attack the city and just fortify the outside, it will be very safe. think twice

If they really can't resist the temptation of tens of millions of taels of silver, even if only ten thousand people come to attack the city, a certain prince will give them an unforgettable "gift package".

These days, "smallpox" is the most serious disease in the world. Those who have contracted smallpox and have not yet recovered are considered by others to be more vicious than Zhang Fei and Li Kui.

Even those who robbed someone on the road would chop up the virus carrier without even looking. Once the blood splashed into their eyes, they would most likely be infected.

A certain prince felt that this was mainly because people at this time had low immunity and weak resistance. Even if they caught a cold, they would die. He didn't want to worry about future generations, and people who took medicine would become resistant to it.

Take the cold medicine to Daming. For ordinary people, this thing can be taken as sleeping pills.

"Dean, there is no need to worry about the defenders and people in the city. By then, I will select people from the army and minions who can withstand the smallpox virus to guard the city. Presumably, there will be no less than 100,000 people. Furthermore, it will be launched After the smallpox virus, vaccination with cowpox was carried out quickly throughout the city. A thousand medical staff from the Army Hospital and the Infectious Disease Hospital were dispatched, and each of them vaccinated a thousand people. It took up to four days before and after, and if it was quick, the vaccination could be completed in two or three days. As long as the secret is kept, the Donglu will not know that smallpox can be prevented in advance, and sooner or later they will be harmed by the smallpox virus. The key is that before the Donglu attacks the city, the secret must be strictly kept. If the slightest content is leaked, the Donglu will guess it. The secret lies in this matter. Only you and I know about this matter. If this leaks out, Dean Wu does not need to apologize to me, but I am sorry for the millions of military minions in the capital!"

Regarding the plan of large-scale vaccination with cowpox, a certain prince had already thought of a rough plan. Compared with various surgeries that require experience and knowledge, vaccination is actually the simplest surgical operation and is an easy matter.

Since the relevant requirements are very low, medical staff can basically understand it at a glance, so it is not difficult to popularize it. It is very suitable for quickly vaccinating the defenders and civilians in a short period of time.

As long as people outside the city don't know about vaccination in a short period of time, even if they know about it a month later, it will be too late, because the incubation period of the smallpox virus is only half a month at most.

Once the virus breaks out in the military camp, it will be something that cannot be contained. Even the people in the camp will be abandoned, otherwise the main force of the braid will be completely annihilated.

The reason why we say this is because the area outside the Pass is different from the area inside the Pass. It is not the main activity area of ​​the smallpox virus, and there are fewer people who have contracted smallpox.

For the braided army, the small number of people who had contracted smallpox meant that if they were suddenly attacked by the smallpox virus, the number of people infected would surge.

Think of the Inca Empire that was wiped out by the Spaniards with the smallpox virus. Otherwise, with the accuracy of bullets alone, the Spaniards would have to prepare at least millions of rounds.

Zhuizi knew that summer was the main transmission season for the smallpox virus, so he generally chose to send troops to the customs in autumn and winter. If he had to send troops in summer, he would most likely select those who had suffered from acne in the army to go south.

It is very feasible to use the smallpox virus to defend braids, unless the antidote to the virus is leaked in advance. If Huangtaiji knew the story of cowpox before the project, the capital would be in danger this time.

Anyway, only two people know this secret at the moment, either a certain prince leaked it, or Old Wu Tou leaked it.

The little fat house and the beautiful mother also know it, but the mother and son still hope to hug the chicken thigh!

After being beaten into the city by braids, Ling Chi will be the one who gets caught!

Ling Chi will only know how painful it is after trying it.

The little fat house and the beautiful biological mother are not stupid, and they are afraid of pain, so of course they will keep it secret.

At the moment, the beautiful biological mother is still playing mahjong with a group of sisters in Kunning Palace. Reading the newspaper means she cares about the Ming Dynasty. A certain prince can call her every day to say hello, saving him the trouble of running errands.

Xiao Feizhai was imprisoned in the East Palace. As long as he didn't sneak out to commit suicide, he could still enjoy the generous treatment of the "Super Prince of the Ming Dynasty" in the future.

For the little fat man, having no meat to eat right now is much more painful than being executed by Ling Chi. If he wants to eat meat every time, he has to control his mouth.

"I feel deeply responsible for the great responsibility, and I will guarantee it with my life. I will never dare to reveal any of the contents!"

Wu Youxing knew that His Royal Highness the Prince and his family all knew the secret of cowpox, but they were determined not to tell outsiders. If the capital was exposed, the Ming royal family in the palace would be the most unlucky.

As the other party who knew the secret, Wu Youxing had to shoulder the heavy responsibility of keeping the secret. The hope of repelling the Donglu and protecting the entire city's army depended on him alone.

In fact, it only took a few months. If the Donglu became impatient and immediately marched directly to the city after knocking on the pass, launching a large-scale siege, this would save Wu Youxing most of the time of keeping secrets.

"Don't drink. You won't remember anything you say after drinking. You still need to sleep alone to avoid talking in your sleep, because you have thoughts and dreams every day. During the siege of Donglu , whoever invites you to drink will wait to be imprisoned and beheaded! Regardless of weddings or other banquets, you must refuse them. After the enemy is retreated, I will personally host a banquet for the dean!"

When people are clear-headed, as long as they always remember and pay attention, even if someone deliberately tries to trick you, it will be difficult to get any valuable information, because they are afraid of saying it while drunk or in a dream.

It is particularly important to give Old Wu the necessary advice to prevent him from making one careless move and causing him to lose everything. A certain prince cannot afford to lose.

This time Huang Taiji led his troops to enter the customs with a very clear goal, which was to "gain both men and money."

He wants all the money in the capital. All the royal family in the capital must be killed.

Without the help of the smallpox virus, it would be difficult for the 100,000 defenders to repel the braided army, even with the help of various new weapons.

Not only that, but there would also be huge casualties.

If the defenders were beaten and disabled, it would be hard to say who would win in the end.

"I will keep this in my heart and never forget it!"

As a doctor, Wu Youxing doesn't like drinking. The most he drinks on weekdays is tea. It was just talking in his sleep that made him particularly worried. He would not remember the contents of the dream.

His Royal Highness asked him to sleep alone, just in case. Fortunately, he is in good health and does not need anyone to serve him at night. It will not be a big problem if he persists for half a year.

"For glasses, masks, headgear, protective clothing and other medical equipment, I will allocate them as soon as possible, and the hospital staff's salary will be fully paid. If there is any corruption and deprivation, the director does not need to come in person, he will give it to the hospital staff on the phone Just explain it and I will handle it immediately."

As long as the "chicken" that is about to appear outside the city can be dealt with, the "chicken" in the city can agree to Lao Wutou's conditions under any conditions.

Only in this way can we win the final victory in the "rookies pecking each other" battle and lay a good foundation for attacking the opponent's chicken coop.

Huangtai Chicken may not know it yet, but "this chicken" in the city has automatically upgraded to a "poisonous chicken"!

If you peck me, I can handle it.

If I peck you, you will be poisoned!

Even if there is no smallpox virus, a certain prince has registered to use snake venom instead.

If you want to turn the braided armored soldiers into disposable cannon fodder, you must use weapons of mass destruction.

Snake venom is the biochemical weapon of this era. Without serum as an antibody, being hit by poisonous iron beads will result in death.

It's just that a certain prince doesn't want to do this yet. Many snake venoms have no antidote.

Snake venoms with antidotes are generally not very powerful and may not be effective against braids.

This thing is not like smallpox. Once it is cured, it is completely free from the disease.

In order to avoid accidentally injuring his own soldiers, a certain prince could only use snake venom as a backup for the time being.

Just play with toads and centipedes, and you can't extract enough doses to feed your braids.

This time, as long as the pigtails come to the city, the defenders must give them a "warm reception" so that they won't be able to go home even if they want to!
