the other side
Qin Ming, Sun Simiao, and Bai Lizhi got into Qin Ming's black four-wheeled carriage after leaving the government office.
Qin Ming sat back on the sofa, closed his eyes and began to think.
It has been three days since the smallpox virus entered Lanzhou. I think Uncle Cheng and the others should have discovered the existence of the smallpox virus.
I just don’t know if they have taken appropriate isolation measures.
After all, smallpox also has an incubation period. If you are not careful, it is very likely that a large area of infection will occur.
Just relying on an epidemic prevention manual is still not safe. Someone has to be sent into the city to inoculate Uncle Cheng and others with cowpox.
Qin Ming thought so.
At this moment, Sun Simiao on the side suddenly said:
"Mountain Chief?"
Qin Ming opened his eyes when he heard this, turned to Sun Simiao, and asked:
"Dean Sun, do you have something to say?"
Sun Simiao nodded, looked at Qin Ming with bright eyes, and said:
"I have an unkind request, and I hope the mountain chief can agree to it."
Qin Ming was stunned for a moment, spread his palms towards Sun Simiao and said:
"Dean Sun, just say so."
Sun Simiao thought for a while and said:
"In the future, if there is an opportunity, Pindao would like to go to Lanzhou City to help the people in person, so he would like to ask the mountain chief to inoculate Pindao with cowpox."
Baili Zhi on the side heard the words and also echoed:
"Mountain Chief, I want to go to Lanzhou with my master. Please ask the Mountain Chief to vaccinate my family with cowpox."
Qin Ming frowned when he heard this and said:
"It is still unclear whether this method can prevent smallpox. Why should you put yourselves at risk?"
Sun Simiao called the Taoist inspector and said seriously:
"It is precisely because the effectiveness of this method has not been proven that Pindao wanted to go to Lanzhou to verify it in person."
"After all, if this method is really feasible, then our country, the Tang Dynasty, will no longer be afraid of smallpox, and countless people in the world will benefit from it."
"I, the Taoist, have always cared about the world, and have taken it as my duty to save the people of the world. What's more, it is such a thing of immeasurable merit, so I, a poor Taoist, am glad to do it."
"I hope the mountain will grow to perfection."
Baili Zhi on the side also looked begging, looking at Qin Ming eagerly.
Qin Ming sighed when he saw this and said:
"That's all. If we find a suitable cow, I'll vaccinate you first."
When Sun Simiao and Baili Zhi heard this, they both looked happy, stood up and saluted Qin Ming:
"Thank you, Chief."
Qin Ming waved his hand and motioned for the two of them to sit down.
At the same time, Qin Ming became more determined to send people into Lanzhou City in advance.
Whether it was Medicine King Sun Simiao or his future wife Baili Zhi, they were all people Qin Ming valued.
He couldn't let the two of them risk their lives. Even if they were going to Lanzhou, they had to verify in advance that vaccination with cowpox could indeed prevent smallpox.
At this moment, the carriage creaked to a stop, and immediately, the voice of Zi Shu came from outside the carriage.
"Sir, the wounded barracks has arrived."
Sun Simiao stood up and said to Qin Ming:
"Captain Shan, Pindao and Baili will go to the wounded barracks first and return to Song Mansion later."
Qin Ming nodded, then stood up and sent the two of them out of the carriage.
After Sun Simiao and Bai Lizhi walked into the wounded barracks, Zi Shu approached Qin Ming and whispered:
"Sir, where should we go next?"
Qin Ming thought for a while and said to Zishu:
"Go to the wounded barracks and call Mrs. Song out."
Zishu nodded when he heard this, and then walked quickly towards the wounded barracks.
A quarter of an hour later,
Song Muqing, wearing a red skirt and a wild bun, appeared at the entrance of the wounded barracks.
Song Muqing looked around and found that except for a strange-looking four-wheeled carriage, there was no sign of Qin Ming at the door.
Just when she was doubting, Zi Shu on the side pointed at the carriage and said:
"My young master is on the carriage, and I would like to invite Mrs. Song to get on the carriage."
Song Muqing was stunned for a moment, then nodded and got on the carriage.
"I have met Mr. Lang."
In the carriage, Qin Ming, who was writing a letter to Xiao Changxi and others at the desk, couldn't help but raise his head, pointed to the side, and said:
"Sit wherever you like."
After saying that, Qin Ming resumed writing furiously.
Song Muqing looked around at the gorgeous decorations, and then looked down at the luxurious carpet at the bottom of the carriage.
Then, Song Muqing pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, took off her embroidered shoes, and walked slowly to sit on the sofa next to Qin Ming.
Feeling the soft touch under her buttocks, Song Muqing looked back and forth at the interior decoration of the car, becoming even more curious about Qin Ming's identity.
At this moment, Qin Ming's voice came into his ears.
"Do you know where the county magistrate's residence is?"
Song Muqing nodded heavily and said:
"I know that Lang Jun came to me because he wanted me to take you to find Li Xiancheng?"
Qin Ming nodded.
"Can I ask Madam Song to lead the way and take me to the Prime Minister's Mansion in Li County?"
Song Muqing pursed her lips and asked cautiously:
"Mr. Lang, can you tell me why you are looking for Li County Prime Minister?"
Qin Ming raised his eyebrows, put down the charcoal in his hand, raised his head and explained:
"I am in urgent need of cows to make medicine, so I want Li Xian Cheng to come forward and help me buy a few cows."
Song Muqing was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then said:
"If that's the case, then Lang Jun doesn't need to go to Li County Cheng."
"If the husband doesn't need much, I happen to have a few cows in my house. I can make the decision and give them to the husband."
"If it's not enough, I can also order someone to buy some in Dingxi City."
Qin Ming felt happy when he heard this. He looked at Song Muqing with a smile and said:
"That's very good. Then there's Lady Lao Song."
Song Muqing's pretty face blushed slightly, lowered her head, and whispered:
"It is my honor to be able to help Mr. Lang."
