Zhao Ceying led the medical workers from the Department of Health and Epidemic Prevention to achieve great success in vaccination in Shenge Town. As the prefect of the state, Wei Chen has not been idle these days.
Wei Chen wrote down the entire process of the vaccination in Shenlong Town in the memorial, and quickly sent it to Bianjing.
In Dazhou, almost everyone knows how terrible acne is, and Zhao Zhen feels the pain of it. His most beloved eldest son died of acne just over a year after he was born.
Therefore, the imperial court was very efficient this time. There was a reply within a few days after the memorial was submitted. Zhao Zhen not only praised Wei Chen vigorously, but also gave the temporarily established Department of Health and Epidemic Prevention a formal establishment, and asked Wei Chen to work in Yuzhou The vaccination method continues to be tried in the country.
With this decree, the vaccination scope of the Department of Health and Epidemic Prevention quickly expanded from Shenhe Town to the entire Yuzhou territory.
The news that the epidemic in Shenye Town had been eradicated had long spread throughout Yuzhou City. When the Department of Health and Epidemic Prevention announced that a vaccination site would be set up in Yuzhou City, the people were excited and looking forward to it.
On April 15th, the day when Yuzhou City was officially vaccinated, outside the Chenghuang Temple, which was requisitioned as a vaccination site, people who came to be vaccinated formed a long queue, squeezing towards the gate like a tide.
"Get in line, get in line!"
The government officials at the gate, led by Gu Tingye, worked diligently to maintain order and prevent the surging crowd from causing chaos.
In the Zen room in the backyard, listening to the noise outside, Wei Chen and Zhao Ceying looked at each other and smiled. They had already felt the enthusiasm of the people of Yuzhou for vaccination.
After the laughter, the two got down to business. Wei Chen's face turned serious and he asked in a deep voice: "How are the preparations for the acne vaccine? Is it enough for use?"
Wei Chen asked about the key to promoting vaccination this time. No matter how good the vaccination method is, if there are not enough vaccines available for vaccination, it will be in vain.
However, Zhao Ceying had already made arrangements for this, and replied with a relaxed smile on his face: "Teacher, don't worry, these students have already considered it, and there are sufficient reserves of the vaccine to vaccinate tens of thousands of people in Yuzhou."
The quantity of vaccinia can continue to increase in value. Compared with the small amount of vaccinia collected from the cow at the beginning, after the trial planting in Shenhe Town, the number of vaccinia in Zhao Ceying's hands has increased dozens of times, and is stored in a A clean goose capillary tube is enough to vaccinate the people of Yuzhou.
"The price of the vaccine is thirty cents per dose, and we will treat five hundred people a day. We will focus on children over ten years old first."
Zhao Ceying told Wei Chen his plan.
"When the treatment in Yuzhou City is completed, some of the medical workers from the Department of Health and Epidemic Prevention will be sent to Mi County and Xinzheng County below."
"Thirty cents?"
Wei Chen frowned when he heard this: "Is the price too high? What if some people find it too expensive and don't want to be vaccinated?"
The collection and storage of vaccines require a lot of money, and the price of thirty cents a piece is already the cost price, without considering labor.
But Wei Chen is still worried that the price is set too high. After all, vaccination is to benefit the people, and it must be promoted even if it is a loss.
When Zhao Ceying heard Wei Chen's question, she smiled confidently, pointed outside and said, "Teacher, listen."
】
Wei Chen listened with confusion, but he heard someone outside shouting: "People in the back, listen, on the 500th day of April 15th, the Junci Guild will pay for your vaccine money!"
What followed was a series of applause.
Wei Chen listened to the noise outside, thought for a moment, and suddenly understood the intention of Zhao Ceying's move.
Zhao Ceying asked the Junci Guild to donate money to help the poor vaccinate. This was not because he, the president of the guild, was taking a leave of absence for personal gain, but because it was indeed beneficial to the guild. Otherwise, the other kiln owners would have united to oppose it.
Any businessman with some knowledge will always build bridges, pave roads and build schools after he becomes successful, even if he sheds a lot of money for it. His purpose is nothing more than to accumulate moral virtue and win himself a good reputation of being generous and generous. In this way, the business will naturally expand. Make it bigger.
In contrast, donating money to help people vaccinate, even if it is a thousand people, only thirty taels of silver, but it can make these thousand people remember your great kindness for a lifetime, which is more profitable than building bridges and paving roads. Buy and sell.
That's why the Junci Guild unanimously agreed to this matter.
Moreover, with the Junci guild started, other wealthy businessmen in Yuzhou must have followed suit and spent generously in order to win a good reputation among their fellow villagers.
In this way, the people of Yuzhou can be vaccinated for free, and it can also alleviate the financial pressure of some state governments. It can be said that it kills two birds with one stone.
After thinking about all this, Wei Chen couldn't help but look at Zhao Ceying with relief.
It seems that I made the right decision to let him have more experience. This kid is indeed a good hand at getting things done.
…
After staying in the Chenghuang Temple for a long time, and after all the vaccinations for the day were completed, Wei Chen got in the car and took Gu Tingye and Zhao Ceying back to Zhouya.
However, the carriage stopped as soon as it reached Yaqian Street, where the state government office was located. Wei Chen opened the curtain to check the situation. He was stunned by the scene in front of him and quickly got off the carriage.
At this time, Yaqian Street was as bustling as during the Shangyuan Lantern Festival. Thousands of people crowded in front of the Yamen, watching Wei Chen quietly as he stepped out of the carriage.
The respected old man Su from Shenge Town stood at the front of the crowd, walked up to Wei Chen, slammed his crutch on the ground, and said in a loud voice: "Thousands of folks from Shenge Town, thank you Lord Zhizhou for saving your life! Folks, kneel down—"
Hurrah!
Under the leadership of Mrs. Su, thousands of people knelt down. Among them, there were both men and women, old people and children. With reverence and gratitude, everyone silently moved towards a young man. The sixteen-year-old boy Zhizhou knelt down.
Wei Chen was startled and quickly stepped forward to help the kneeling old lady Su and several other elderly people: "Elders, you are shortening this kid's life. I can't bear it..."
Grandpa Su was helped by Wei Chen to stand up, but he was already in tears and couldn't stop crying.
"Old man has experienced more than ten plagues in his life. This time the acne was the most severe, but only a hundred people died in the town. Mr. Zhizhou, you have accumulated so much kindness, how can you not bear to kneel down like this? "
"This is all the credit of the son of Erlang of the Gu family and Zhao Tuanlian. Wei only succeeded because of others, how dare he take credit?"
Wei Chen immediately pushed Gu Tingye and Zhao Ceying in front of the people, and introduced to them Gu Tingye's courage to take risks and test poison, and Zhao Ceying's hard work in the Department of Health and Epidemic Prevention to promote vaccination and nighttime food.
Upon hearing this, thousands of people who gathered on Yaqian Street immediately kowtowed to Gu Tingye and Zhao Ceying under the leadership of Mrs. Su to express their sincere gratitude.
Looking at the thousands of kneeling people in front of them and feeling their heartfelt gratitude to them, Gu Tingye and Zhao Ceying's eyes turned red.
The fatigue and hardship I have endured for more than a month are nothing at this moment.
