In order not to affect people's livelihood in Hangzhou, Song Che proposed to transfer all infected people to Ciyin Temple outside the city.
Regardless of whether the monks objected, this was an act of merit and compassion. In early June, Jian Saixian was invited to Hangzhou.
The expert from outside the world really lived up to his expectations. I hope Wenwenqie's masterful hands will be rejuvenated, and his acupuncture skills will be astonishing. Astragalus, angelica, white peony root, coptis, forsythia and other medicinal materials were used as medicine, which greatly alleviated the symptoms of the infected patients. Those patients with good immunity showed signs of improvement within three days. However, some immune systems Those with weak strength and underlying diseases can only resign themselves to fate.
Although smallpox has been brought under control, there are many refugees in the north and the floating population is huge. In addition to Hangzhou, Suzhou, Wenzhou and other places have also seen different scales of spread. In order to prevent smallpox from spreading to the army and thus affecting the war, almost all of Jiangnan has been All have been banned, which has greatly affected people's livelihood and economy.
Solving the smallpox plague is urgent. As a modern person who has been vaccinated and has been a biology class representative, Song Che certainly has his own ideas.
One morning, Song Che summoned several senior officials of Lin'an Prefecture and all the doctors in Hangzhou to gather in the Buddhist hall to prepare for a seminar on the plague and decide on a way to completely kill smallpox.
Everyone in the Buddhist hall consciously kept silence and distance, staring directly at the Buddha statue, silently praying for blessings in their hearts.
"Moo~" A cow's cry broke the silence. Everyone looked back and saw Song Che leading a cow and striding into the Buddhist hall.
"Donor Song, how can the pure land of Buddhism be trampled by livestock?" The old abbot and a group of old monks stepped forward to stop him.
This old monk had always been resentful of Song Che's proposal to transfer the infected to Ciyin Temple for containment, and was very unkind to Song Che.
Song Che pointed at the cow behind him with a smile and bowed in Zen: "Amitabha, Master Cihai, you may not believe it, but this cow is actually a sacred cow sent by God to solve the plague. You must rely on it if you want to eliminate the smallpox virus! "
"Damn, a cow!"
"Mr. Song, did you bring us here today just to make a joke? How can a cow solve the plague?" No one believed it, but as a believer, he stepped forward with a smile and said: "Young man, you said so Big words, do they have any basis?"
"You all come together, the evidence is here." Song Che knelt down to greet everyone, and pointed to the udder area under the belly of the cow. The red herpes were clearly visible.
"Ah! This, this, this... this is smallpox!"
"Even the cattle were infected with smallpox!" Everyone was horrified and hurriedly retreated.
"Hey, don't panic, everyone. Herpes in humans is called 'smallpox', and herpes in cows is called 'cowpox'. But look at this cow, full of energy and strong, not affected at all," Song said Che paused and then said: "As we all know, smallpox only occurs once in a lifetime. Once it occurs, you will be immune to it for life. We can inoculate cowpox into people and gain immunity against smallpox." As soon as it came out, there was a lot of discussion.
It is a famous pathological experiment in modern times to use the self-limiting nature of cowpox to produce immunity in the human body to resist smallpox.
Jian Saixian held his chin and agreed with Song Che's idea, but said: "Young man, have you ever considered whether there will be any other reactions if this cowpox is inoculated on people?"
"From a pathological point of view, there are no other reactions when cowpox is inoculated into the human body, but... I don't know what the actual situation is," Song Che patted Jian Saixian's shoulder and said with a smile, "That's why I You miracle doctors have all been invited here. Wan Sheng is just a layman and only provides ideas. The real human experiment must be completed by you." Jian Saixian nodded and said: "Vaccination of pox is a method to gain self-healing ability. This method is quite clever. But who is willing to take this risk?" Maybe if someone really loses his life, how can he have such a spirit of selfless dedication?
Song Che looked at Master Cihai and the old monks of Ciyin Temple with a smile, and said: "Master, there is a saying in Buddhism: 'If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell?' Otherwise, you make a sacrifice, and you will be benevolent in life, and you will be benevolent in death." Then you will become a Buddha." The old abbot's face turned green, and he hesitated: "As the abbot of a temple, the poor monk should set an example, but... But the poor monk is already sixty-seven this year, and he is afraid that he has more than enough ambition and strength. It's not enough, haha... I have more than enough ambition but not enough strength." Song Che smiled and said: "There are so many patients in the temple, but the abbot has not contracted smallpox, which shows that you are always strong." The old abbot said with a straight face: "Donor Song, you are poor The monk dedicating Ciyin Temple to accommodate the sick is already an act of mercy, but he cannot be rude anymore!"
"Yes, Mr. Song, in my opinion, you should stop embarrassing the old abbot and find someone younger." Liu Boyong advised.
Song Che's eyes turned and stayed on Liu Boyong, and said casually: "Master Liu, don't say anything, I have forgotten you. As the official of both Zhejiang and Zhejiang, you should make some sacrifices for your people, right?"
"Ah? Me...me?" Liu Boyong hurriedly declined: "This office is busy with official affairs. If I make any mistake, who will take charge of all the affairs?" Song Che waved his hand and said: "Hey, don't worry, if you If you die in the line of duty, I will inform Your Majesty one day and give you a good posthumous title!"
"This...this...cough! Cough! Cough!" Liu Boyong suddenly touched his chest and coughed.
"To be honest, I have had lung disease since I was a child, and my health is not good..." Song Che rolled his eyes secretly, and then glanced at the other people in the Buddhist hall. They were all kinds of people, with evasive eyes. These doctors who save the world and save people, and compassionate monks , an official who leads by example, leaning against the Buddha, is a bit ironic.
"I'll do it." Jian Saixian decisively rolled up his sleeves and said righteously: "If this method works, it will be an act that will be praised throughout the ages, and it will win a reputation during and after life. It will not be a waste of time in this world!"
"Hehehe..." Song Che shook his head and laughed, put down Jian Saixian's sleeves, and turned to ask Liu Boyong: "Master Liu, Song has a plan to get the best of both worlds - I wonder if there are those extremely vicious executions in this government dungeon. Criminal? Anyway, they want to kill their heads, why not give them a way to survive and use them as a test. If they succeed, they will be exempted from the death penalty. If they fail, they will be killed for the people." He hurriedly defended: "Of course, this kind of I’m just mentioning the unkind practices, as for whether to use them or not, it’s up to you, Mr. Liu, to decide.”
"This is a wonderful plan!" Liu Boyong immediately clapped his hands and praised: "The navy just captured a group of pirates at sea a few days ago, and they are waiting to be beheaded by Qiu Hou. It would not be a pity for such scum to die, so use them as Human experiments are the most suitable." Song Che said: "It is best if they are young and strong and have no underlying diseases. Feed them a full meal first and then wash them clean. This can ensure the accuracy of the experiment... Of course, this is still Song’s suggestion, and I still condemn this kind of unkindness in my heart.”
"That's natural. Prisoners on death row will be decapitated before they die, hahaha..." Liu Boyong readily agreed and immediately sent officers and soldiers to the dungeon to arrest the prisoners.
Experiment!
