A few days later, more and more people came to get vaccinated against cowpox at the entrance of Huimin Pharmacy.
After the two vaccinated experimenters got off work, they were dragged into demonstrations every day and had close contact with people infected with smallpox.
Once or twice is fine, but I wouldn’t want to do more than two people. Later I went, but I had no choice but to give too much. And most of them are princes and nobles, invited by the six ministers. They are not short of money, but what is missing is the protection of their fragile lives.
After confirming the effect, these people immediately came to Huimin Pharmacy to start the vaccination. Some people who were watching the excitement saw people coming, and people they knew looked at it and said, "Hey guys, these princes and nobles are here. What's the point of watching the excitement? Just line up quickly."
The herd mentality has been the same since ancient times, and soon Huimin Pharmacy was surrounded by people.
There was no other choice but to evacuate the crowd and queue up. This method was not bad at first.
With the appearance of princes, nobles and court nobles, everything became a bit chaotic.
Scholars are more particular, and at this time they don’t have that kind of arrogance.
Xungui didn't have such a good temper. They were all rough guys who followed Lao Zhu to conquer the world. They just rushed in. When the doctor who vaccinated him saw that he couldn't afford to offend him, he acquiesced.
The common people just complain, and we can’t afford to offend.
Seeing that the effect of jumping in line was good, others stopped waiting in line. The one who came up was that I am so-and-so. I have bled for Ming Dynasty, and I have been injured for Ming Dynasty. I want to jump in line, and I am confident.
If you can't afford to offend, then just jump in line. As a result, the queue is a bit out of control. If you do this, you will have to wait in line until the year of the monkey.
The medical officer presiding outside was Wu You. When he saw the crowd that was about to get out of control, he quickly reported it to Zheng Xiong.
"Sir, there are many distinguished people from outside who want to jump in line. We can't afford to offend them. The crowd is a little out of control. Please give me some advice."
"You can't afford to offend me, so I can. Let's set up another table. You must have figured out how to vaccinate in the past few days. You still have to queue up. Let the officials line up on the left. Who can Those who are high-ranking officials should line up in front and ordinary people should line up on the right. Don’t let anyone jump in line."
Zheng Xiong had no choice but to divert the troops first.
Then a funny scene occurred.
"May I ask, sir, what rank you live in and what position you hold?"
"I am the Prime Minister of Zhan Shifu. I am in the sixth rank. What's the matter?"
"It's okay then. Sorry to bother you, sir."
"Why doesn't this gentleman wear official uniform? May I ask where he works?"
"I am not an official. I am the steward of Mr. Li Shanchang. Is there any problem?"
"No problem, excuse me."
"And you?"
"I am from the seventh rank of the Ministry of Punishment."
"Sorry, I'm in the seventh rank, please wait in line."
The princes, nobles and nobles all lined up in the front row on the left, while the civil servants could only line up in the back, as their fists were too big to mess with. It's not good for Xungui to make another fuss. He almost caused public outrage. In the public view, if he makes a fuss again, it won't be a compliment. If someone takes it to heart and takes a copy of it, it will be a big loss.
After confirming the grade, he came forward to receive the cowpox vaccine. The person on the left side of the desk is responsible for registration and collecting money, which is only ten cents. It is a small amount for the princes and nobles, and it is very happy to give it. Inoculation on the right, there is order, everything is in order.
However, the output is limited, and old cows cannot bear scraping. A few old cows can only supply thousands of people every day.
Fortunately, the Ministry of Revenue was also very helpful. Knowing that this matter was being paid attention to, it was expedited. Lao Niu did not have to buy it slowly. The Ministry of Revenue had some of its own and rented them directly to Zheng Xiong. A cow costs ten cents a day, which is very cheap.
Taiyuan Hospital also sent imperial doctors to study. Members of the royal family, six ministries, nine ministers, and Dukes and Marquises were the private property of Taiyuan Hospital, and it was impossible for Huimin Pharmacy to come.
Zheng Xiong did not hide his secrets and asked his subordinates to teach them seriously. The world was too big for his small Yingtianfu tielai to stretch out his hand so long. The city of Nanjing alone had a population of nearly one million, which was enough for him to eat.
With the technology provided by Taiyuan Hospital, it can better promote the world and benefit the people.
Without the chaos at the beginning, the vaccination work of Huimin Pharmacy became more and more comfortable, and my hands cramped when I collected the money.
On this day, the Liulichang, which had been under construction for more than a month, was officially completed. Zheng Xiong went to inspect it and was followed by an errand boy, who turned out to be Ergou.
After Ergou recovered, he remembered Zheng Xiong's kindness. Food and medicine were small things to Zheng Xiong, but they were great favors to Ergou. Especially when a person is in a desperate situation, Han Xin will remember a favor for a lifetime, not to mention taking care of him for so many days. Although it is purposeful, it does not prevent Ergou from being grateful.
After I recovered and returned home, my family was overjoyed. They thought we were separated forever, but they didn't expect that when I came back, I not only recovered, but also gained some weight.
On the same day, Ergou's father took Ergou to see Zheng Xiong. Not only did he bring the family's souvenirs, but he also returned the money.
"My lord has saved my child's life. I have nothing to repay. A few gifts are disrespectful, and the money is even more shameful. I hope you will take it back."
Facing this simple man, Zheng Xiong was helpless. Zheng Xiong didn't care about these small things, and it was hard to chase people away when he came to thank him in person.
"Just treat it as a transaction. He does things for me and I give you money. It's settled. No need to thank me."
"It is a small matter to the adults, but it is a life-saving grace for our family. Please take back the money. The child has been saved by the adults, so he will stay under the adults' hands, but he will be driven to repay the adults for saving his life."
"Just take the money back, I'll spit on it and nail it. He's still young. There's no harm in using this money to study and become literate."
He had to fight hard to get his money back, but the younger brother accepted it and became a glorious member of Zheng Xiong's errand army.
Zheng Xiong is not Zhou Papi. His salary is paid and it is in the name of Huimin Pharmacy. Zheng Xiong doesn't need to pay anyway.
Sometimes it is not enough to think about running errands. It is equivalent to a secretary. Wang Er and Zhao San are doing alcohol. The process is not complicated, but it has not been leaked. It is trustworthy. At that time, I was rushing to put it on the shelves, and I did not choose the wrong person.
Nowadays, Qian needs to be cultivated for five and six weeks, so it is more reliable to use people he trusts. Ergou, a form of repayment, is also more trustworthy in his senses.
This can be betrayed, the world is really in decline, and it is easier to train at the age of ten. Child labor should not be counted. There is no such law now.
Zheng Xiong was doing the handover, and Ergou watched quietly. He was very discerning in serving tea and water. Zheng Xiong was quite satisfied with Ergou.
The day after the handover, the Yamen projects of the other three parties were handed over to the Ministry of Works.
All the workers recruited by Liulichang in advance are in place, and Wang Er and Zhao San are becoming more and more skilled at recruiting people.
Five thousand guan of money can't build a big factory building, just a simple wall, two warehouses, a main hall, and the rest is a furnace for firing colored glaze.
Assign tasks to everyone and buy materials. According to the memory of later generations, quartz sand, soda ash, limestone, and feldspar are the main materials for making glass. Just buy them and put them away.
All that's left is to slowly experiment.
