afternoon. The official escorted three strong men between the ages of 20 and 30 to Ciyin Temple.

"Dog officer! A scholar can't be killed! I'm not afraid of beheading my head. If you use me to plant smallpox, I won't let you go even to death!" Their resistance was quite strong.

"Stop talking nonsense. If the experiment succeeds, you will be the saviors of the people in Jiangnan. Not only will you be exempted from the crime of beheading, but your sentences will also be appropriately reduced!" Liu Boyong moved his fingers, and the official pinned the three pirates down. On the stool, their heads and faces were covered, their hands and feet were tied, and they were told not to move.

According to the method given by Song Che, Jian Saixian first used alcohol to disinfect the silver needles and silver knives, and then cut a small incision on the arms of the three pirates. Then, he used the silver needle to prick the rash on the cow's breast and squeezed out the rash. The pus from the pox was smeared on the pirate's arm wound, and finally bandaged with gauze.

Then, the three pirates were held in separate cells, with three meals a day and their wounds observed every day.

Ten days later, cowpox scars appeared on the first pirate's arm. Then on the eleventh and thirteenth days, the other two pirates also recovered on their own. Half a month later, according to the second step of the experiment, General Jian Saixian Smallpox herpes juice was inoculated into the arms of three pirates, and then observed for three days. The three pirates could eat, sleep, run and jump, and had no characteristics of smallpox patients.

The experiment of using cowpox to induce antibodies to immunize against the smallpox virus was a great success! Lin'an Prefecture raised a large number of cows, injected the smallpox virus into the cows, made them develop cowpox, extracted the pox fluid, and called on all the people in Hangzhou to be vaccinated.

Soon, the use of cowpox to prevent smallpox spread throughout the country, and the notorious smallpox disease was completely eradicated in less than a month.

along with

With the popularization of "vaccination", Jiangnan is gradually regaining its vitality. Song Che was worried at first that the plague would affect the trade fair, but the reality was unexpected. After this natural disaster, people seemed to have let out the breath they were holding in their hearts. Retaliatory consumption was common, and the trade fair became more lively.

After the epidemic was eliminated, good news came one after another in Xuzhou. Dijon launched three large-scale sieges within a month, each time ending in disastrous defeat.

As Song Che expected, Dijon's logistics supplies were insufficient, so he withdrew his troops across the board and retreated to garrison in the three capitals of the East, West and North, still controlling the Central Plains, Hedong and Hebei.

After the war was victorious, the emperor who personally led the expedition returned to Jinling, reorganized the imperial court, and worked hard to restore the economy. The Liang Dynasty, which had been in turmoil for more than half a year, finally had a chance to breathe.

At the beginning of July, summer is gradually passing, and it is the beginning of autumn.

"Princess! Where is my princess!" Jiang Yuntian dismounted, like a fierce bull,

"Rampage" into the Song Dynasty, thinking of picking up the princess he longed for.

"Hey, have you been vaccinated against cowpox? Are you going to enter other people's homes at will?" Lin Yue, as the housekeeper, reached out to stop him.

Nowadays, the first thing people say when meeting is: "Have you been vaccinated against cowpox?"

"Cowpox?" Jiang Yuntian scratched his head,

"I have never known what it means to be sick since I was a child. Why should I be vaccinated?"

"Well……"

"General Jiang!" Zhao Qin flew into Jiang Yuntian's arms as if he didn't care about his own safety. Since their separation in Beijing last year, the beautiful couple had not seen each other for more than half a year. They reunited in a dream, embracing each other like glue, and the ambiguity filled the Song Dynasty.

"Brother Jiang." Song Che hugged a pair of children, brought a family of wives and concubines, and greeted his friends with a smile.

"Oh, it's incredible, it's incredible!" Jiang Yuntian sighed repeatedly, stepped forward and grabbed his daughter's face, and praised: "Not bad, not bad, my daughter-in-law is so beautiful!" Ning Yehong, however slap his hand away,

"If you get married with your fingertips, you'll have to get pregnant first, right?" Jiang Yuntian glanced sideways at the princess and said with a smile, "Isn't this kind of thing easy for me?"

"Not serious!" Zhao Qin glared back at him.

"But I think daughters are cuter. If I want to have a baby, I will give birth to a daughter."

"Hey, the princess is right. You will have a daughter from now on and she will be my daughter-in-law." Song Che smiled, took a sip and held the son in his left hand, and asked, "Qier, do you think so?" The words seemed to agree to the marriage.

"Hehehe..."

"Okay, the dishes are almost cold. General Jiang is tired from traveling all the way. Come and sit down in the room."

"Today, I will have a few more drinks with Brother Song." Satisfied. ...after dinner. Song Che and Jiang Yuntian stopped talking while visiting the garden.

"Brother Liao... oh no, now we should call him His Majesty the Emperor. He is planning to marry the Queen on August 15th, the Mid-Autumn Festival. I have been specially sent to inform you that you must be there as scheduled." Jiang Yuntian informed.

Is it August 15th? Song Che looked at the leaves in the courtyard, which were gradually turning from green to yellow, and couldn't help but feel filled with emotion. The world really couldn't keep it, and before he knew it, it was the Mid-Autumn Festival again.

Song Che hummed and asked, "Is it stable in Xuzhou?" Jiang Yuntian said, "If dozens of artillery are fired at the city wall, no matter how brave the Dijon cavalry is, they will not be able to enter the city gate even half a step. There are Shi Tao and Bao Dayou who are guarding Xuzhou, and the mountains and rivers are safe."

"What about you? Brother Liao...oh no, His Majesty the Emperor, what kind of official title have you been given?" Song Che asked with a smile.

Jiang Yuntian pursed his lips,

"Actually, I don't care too much about fame and fortune. What's more, I already have a princess. With the title of 'the best son-in-law in the world', I am higher than all the ministers." He paused and then said: "Zhen The general of the country is granted the title of Yongjun Marquis, and he stays in the capital to serve." But Song Che frowned. He was a son-in-law of the country, and he was granted the title of general and marquis. He was indeed a highly respected minister, but staying in the capital and serving in the capital didn't mean that he was relieved of his military power?

He said:

"Since I stay in the capital, I should also serve as the commander-in-chief of the Forbidden Army."

"It's harmful, don't mention it!"

"oh?"

"Don't you know, Mr. Han? He is the father of the empress your Majesty is about to marry and the old manager of the Shouchun Mansion. Before your Majesty returned to the court, he led a hundred thousand inaction troops to occupy Jinling. Now, the imperial army has all the military power. In the hands of his eldest son Han Yu," Jiang Yuntian scolded: "This old fox, his daughter will be the queen, he will be the father-in-law, and his son will command the imperial army... He wants to spread the power of the Han family throughout the entire new dynasty!" This is not true! strangeness.

It can even be said to be inevitable. A dynasty without party members is incomplete, as long as Director Han does not

The idea of ​​"holding the emperor hostage to order the princes" will suffice. only,

"Is He Qiu going to pay homage to the prime minister?" Song Che asked. Jiang Yuntian nodded,

"When I return to Jinling tomorrow, I will pass by Suzhou and pick him up to take up the post." He asked again, "So what if he is the prime minister?" Song Che looked out to the sky and said meaningfully: "The father of the country, Han Dong, and the prime minister He Qiu, Privy Councilor Gao Chen. A new order. A new pattern." He asked Jiang Yuntian again: "Brother Jiang, if you were asked to choose a side, which side would you be on? You must answer seriously."
