Chapter 318 If I don't pay, it doesn't count as prostitution
In response to Emperor Deyuan's question, Jian Ruonan didn't say anything. After a long while, she said, "Your Majesty, I need to do some calculations."
After that, she raised her left hand, closed her eyes, and slowly pinched her fingers, mumbling something in her mouth. It
's not that she deliberately pretended to be profound, but she was afraid that if she suddenly brought up cowpox, everyone would not be able to accept it.
Humans are naturally full of fear of unfamiliar things. The introduction of new things is like the reforms in ancient times. Although it is good, there will definitely be voices of opposition.
Including honeycomb coal, there are still a few people who firmly resist it.
Moreover, this is to inoculate cowpox on people's arms, which is too incredible for the ancients.
She is a salted fish, too lazy to argue with a fool, after all, good words can't persuade the damned ghost.
But epidemic prevention is different. If a fool doesn't get vaccinated, it will harm others.
In ancient times, there was no government responsibility for epidemic prevention. The emperor's attitude towards epidemic prevention was that as long as he didn't die and it didn't affect his rule, it would be fine.
Jian Ruonan weighed the pros and cons and still felt that it was better for the whole people to popularize vaccination.
After counting with his fingers, Jian Ruonan opened his eyes: "Your Majesty, I just counted with my fingers, and this matter is not simple."
Emperor Deyuan: "My dear minister, please tell me in detail."
Jian Ruonan looked up at the starry sky at a 45-degree angle, stood up with her hands behind her back, and looked unfathomable: "We must open the altar and obey the arrangements of heaven. After all, heaven is the greatest."
The best way to popularize cowpox is to blame the gods.
No matter what opposition there is, Jian Ruonan just says that it was the gods who said it, and the gods asked the government to promote epidemic prevention, and Emperor Deyuan must also execute it.
This trick is easy.
[Hehe, this young lady is really a clever little ghost! ]
The humerus present: "..."
Jinyiwei commander Wei Liren: Great, finally it's not the Jinyiwei who is blamed.
Xuanwu system: [666, that lazy Fifth Sister, at first she just pretended to be the Queen Mother to scare the old lady in Jinyang Marquis's Mansion, now she wants to perform a magic trick in front of the civil and military officials of the court! ]
Tan Tai Mo: [Shut up, what do you know? ! Fifth Miss's trick is very clever! Fifth Miss is very wise! ]
Xuanwu system: [Just brag! ] Jian
Ruonan: "..."
Since she came to the court, every word of Jian Ruonan's nonsense was not said in vain. Under her tireless deception, the emperor and the humerus in the court had long believed that she had magical powers.
Now that she was told that she was going to perform a ritual on the altar, she had no doubts at all.
Emperor Deyuan even asked kindly, "I wonder when the auspicious time is?"
Epidemic prevention was urgent, Jian Ruonan said, "Today, now!"
Emperor Deyuan immediately ordered Qin Tianjian to come and set up the venue, and Jian Ruonan also called her assistants: three Taoist priests plus Chen Pozi and Hou Tanhua.
After everything was ready, Jian Ruonan, surrounded by the three Taoist priests, put on a Taoist robe, held a Buddhist dust, danced around the altar, and chanted.
Chen Pozi put dry ice on the side and danced with a fairy stick.
Hou Tanhua went to find the smallpox cow.
The three Taoist priests were awesome, performing the knife mountain and oil pot in front of the emperor and the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty.
In order to add more style to this ritual, Jian Ruonan also set off a kind of fireworks called "divine whip".
Fireworks were made to look like whips, and they were thrown to the ground, making crackling sounds.
"Pa pa pa" the whips came out, and the old emperor and the civil and military officials were stunned and dumbfounded.

On the other side, outside the city, there was a pockmarked nest.
A group of pockmarked people sat together, looking at the leader in the middle - the seafood prince Zi Aza.
After Zi Aza was stabbed with a needle, the grooves in his brain grew again, and he finally gave up love and shifted his focus to his career.
"What's the situation now?"
The leader, the pockmarked man, said, "More than a dozen households have been infected, but the disease has not spread."
Zi Aza smiled crookedly and asked his subordinates to take a person with him: "In three days it will be the Longevity Festival. Tomorrow, take him to the city for a walk."
Several pockmarked men took a closer look and found that this person had just been infected with the disease. He was a freshly-cooked pockmarked man with steaming hot pockmarks.
People who have just been infected with smallpox are the most contagious.
Let this fresh pockmarked man go around the city every day. Within three days, most of the capital will be infected.
Smallpox has a latent period. If Emperor Deyuan is infected by then, he will have made a great contribution.
Before Zi Aza went to the capital, he was vaccinated against smallpox. He was lucky and had no pockmarks on his face.
Among a group of pockmarked men, he looks very handsome.
Zi Aza was daydreaming about the future when suddenly, the pockmarked spy came to report, "Prince, it's bad. Those families with fever have been quarantined."
The pockmarked spy said that Jian Ruonan had taken over the matter, "Now the whole capital is looking for pockmarked people. Anyone with pockmarked skin entering the city must be strictly investigated!"
"Jian Ruonan again?" Zi Aza sneered, "Ha, you react quite quickly!"
"What is Jian Ruonan doing now?"
The spy said, "I heard that someone named Jian is performing a shaman dance in the palace to get rid of the plague."
"Wahahahaha--"
"I thought she was so powerful! She's just a small shrimp!"
Zi Aza looked in the direction of Jinyang Marquis' Mansion and sneered, "Jian Ruonan, when this prince breaks through the capital, I will ask you again, do you regret humiliating this prince back then? !
"Since we can't bring people into the city, I will personally bring the pox fluid and scabs!"
Zi Aza set up a base in the capital in a brothel. Jian Ruonan, a girl in her teens, certainly didn't dare to enter a brothel. She couldn't have guessed that the lecher was hiding in a brothel.

After performing the shaman dance, Jian Ruonan told the method of cowpox.
While she was performing the shaman dance, the cow with smallpox had been pulled over by Hou Tanhua. After
Jian Ruonan taught the imperial doctors how to vaccinate, the entire Imperial Hospital immediately took action, starting with the palace, and all the civil and military officials lined up for vaccination.
Occasionally, there were a few who had objections, and Jian Ruonan directly asked them to go to heaven to ask the gods.
Translated, it means: If you don't want to be beheaded, just get vaccinated.
With the blessing of the gods, the promotion of cowpox was fast. In just two days, the entire palace and officials who could attend the morning court were almost vaccinated.
After Emperor Deyuan was vaccinated, he took off his longkini with confidence.
After learning that the smallpox was spread by Ziaza, Emperor Deyuan immediately ordered the capture of the traitor Ziaza.
Jian Ruonan took the initiative to take on the important task of arresting the seafood prince.
Seeing Jian Ruonan's initiative, the front-row humerus immediately became restless.
Tasks that can make General Jian, a lazy guy, take the initiative usually have melons to eat.
And the melons are not small.
Before Emperor Deyuan had time to ask who was willing to help the little cutie, someone immediately volunteered.
In the end, Tan Tai Mo won by virtue of his noble status, and Hou Tanhua followed closely behind as his assistant.
Jian Ruonan had an auntie smile on her face, pointing at Qu Huacan: "Master Qu, come with me!"
~
Zia Zha could think of using smallpox as a weapon, his strength should not be underestimated.
Qu Huacan was suddenly chosen and was a little nervous.
When he was brought to the door of the brothel by Jian Ruonan, Qu Huacan was dumbfounded.
Qu Huacan: "General, aren't you here to arrest people? Why are you in the brothel?"
Jian Ruonan: "We've been tired of vaccination for so many days, let's relax."
Qu Huacan: You are just acting like a god, the vaccination was all done by the imperial physician, how are you tired?
The turtle man at the door saw Jian Ruonan and his group and exchanged glances.
Jian Ruonan was about to enter with his people when he was stopped by Gui Gong, saying, "Sir, this is not a place for you. It's not that I don't want to make money. The laws of Daxia stipulate that officials are not allowed to visit prostitutes."
Jian Ruonan:? ?
What a broken rule? !
[No wonder there are so many weird quirks in the Manchu Dynasty, it's all because of these broken rules! ]
Jian Ruonan waved his hand, "Get out of the way, don't ruin my mood
!" "Sir, you can't do that, we are a small business and don't want to close down!" The mother at the door cried. "
Don't worry, I won't let you close down." Jian Ruonan smiled, "If I don't pay, it won't be considered a prostitute!"
~
Jian Ruonan: The character of a money-grubber cannot be broken!
