Chapter 2105 Vaccine
The Queen laughed and said, "Your Majesty, how old is she? A young girl of this age is full of ambition. Why discourage her now? It is better to let her go forward. If vaccination is really effective, she will go to the Western Regions. She will definitely gain experience on this trip."
The emperor sighed and said, "I saw that she was eagerly pointing to the Western Regions, so I wanted to calm her down. She acted recklessly in the capital and the palace, and it was fine if we didn't blame her. But when she went to the grasslands and the desert, others might not tolerate her."
The Queen smiled and said, "Anyway, I have already promised her. Your Majesty, please do as you wish."
Emperor: ...What can he do? He can’t just slap the queen in the face, right?
So the next day, Xiao Yuanzheng got the right to use a house in an imperial farm outside the city, and Manbao also got a warrant to leave the palace at any time and stay overnight, except when he was on duty at the Imperial Hospital.
So Manbao quietly returned home and stayed there for two days. Every day, when the Imperial Medical Office had classes, he would go directly to the Imperial Medical Office. When he didn't have classes, he would go to the Imperial Manor to check on the layout of the houses. When he was ordered to see a doctor, he would go to the hospital. For a while, his life was very fulfilling.
The emperor's imperial estate was in a good location. He chose a house with servants guarding it for them from the imperial estate he visited every year.
The imperial farm was very large, and even after the wheat, beans, and rice were planted, they needed to be guarded. There was a large area of houses in the farm for the servants to live in, surrounding the houses where the masters lived.
In fact, this is just a decoration. It is not far from the capital, east of the Daming Palace. The Longshou Canal flows through the village. Every year on the second day of the second lunar month, the emperor would bring the princes and princesses here to plow, so the village is not small.
The house allocated to Zhou Man and his family was far away from the Longshou Canal, in the northeast corner of the village, and was the farthest point from the Daming Palace.
It is convenient for everyone except the imperial doctors who are not convenient to come here.
Doctor Lu walked into the furnished house and still couldn't help but look disgusted, "It's too simple."
Xiao Yuanzheng said, "It's just a temporary place for servants to guard the rice fields and drive away birds. How good can it be?"
So Doctor Lu was a little dissatisfied. He glanced at Zhou Man and said, "We don't need to be so anxious. It won't take long for Chang'an County to build a new house."
Manbao was doing his final check and said, "The sooner the better. I think it's good now. This room inside will be for the patient, this room will be for our invited guests, and this room will be a banquet hall. They can relax and we can rest. The soldiers will just keep an eye on it from a distance."
Doctor Xiao nodded. "The Imperial Guards and the Ministry of Justice will handle this matter. We don't need to worry about it. We just need to cure the patient and see how the smallpox develops."
Manbao nodded and said, "The patient can be brought in."
Xiao Yuanzheng went out to communicate with someone, and the three people did not leave. Not long after, the three prisoners who had been escorted outside came in wearing anklets.
There were three men in total. Manbao had looked at their information. One was nineteen years old, one was twenty-three years old, and one was forty-five years old.
Manbao took a look at their faces, motioned them to sit down, and after taking their pulses one by one, he said to Xiao Yuanzheng Doctor Lu, "We need to replenish our body first."
Dean Xiao and Imperial Physician Lu also reviewed each of the dishes and were deeply impressed. They then carefully prescribed a medicinal diet. They considered it a medicinal diet, but the servant who received the list thought they were being too kind to the three prisoners. It was either lotus root stewed with pork ribs or yam stewed with lamb...
The three prisoners didn't expect such a good thing to happen. They thought they could only eat such good food when they were beheaded.
Thinking about it this way, they were even less opposed to this experiment. They were going to die anyway, so it was not bad to think that they could live a good life before death.
Not only were they well fed, the imperial doctors also had servants boil hot water for them to bathe and changed them into new clothes. Aside from the shackles on their feet, everything else was different from the prison.
The three of them lived in one room with three beds. The beds were clean and the quilts were not only clean but also brand new.
The three of them were still a little dazed as they sat on the edge of the bed.
Doctor Lu stared at them and said, "I'm so kind to you. You must take good care of your illness and stay alive. If you do well, you will be able to enjoy this good life for a while longer."
When the three heard this, they immediately said they would obey.
After they finished washing, Manbao came in with a needle bag and gave them acupuncture to regulate their bodies.
Dean Xiao and Imperial Physician Lu were sitting beside her, chatting with her. "You're really attentive. By the way, what's the significance of this injection?"
Manbao knew that they were learning secretly, but he didn't care. After giving them an injection, he explained to them why the needle should be inserted in a certain way, and how many inches and how deep the needle should be inserted. He also explained which meridian this acupoint should be inserted first, and which acupoint should be inserted first to benefit which part of the body.
Xiao Yuan was stroking his beard and listening attentively.
Others may think that acupuncture for curing diseases is more important, but doctors all know that acupuncture for health preservation is actually more valuable. Looking at the acupuncture method Zhou Man is using now, they have never heard of it. It seems that this little girl still has a lot in her belly, and she is still as generous as ever.
Because Zhou Man was so generous, Xiao Yuanzheng also became generous. He went to the Ministry of Revenue for two consecutive days and prepared a lot of necessary medicinal materials and food materials to nourish the patient. After seven or eight days, the three of them began to prepare the scabs.
Zhou Man took out the scabs and put them in a bottle.
Doctor Lu saw that she had indeed brought back this dangerous thing from Xiazhou, and his brows twitched. Fortunately, she kept it well, otherwise...
This thing is just like a biological weapon. If it is used to attack a crowded area, it would be like an army of 100,000.
The three doctors all wore masks. They poured the scabs from the bottle and ground them into powder. Xiao Yuanzheng handed the boiled cold water to Doctor Lu, who poured it into the powder and mixed it thoroughly...
Manbao took out a thin piece of cotton cloth that had been cut into small pieces. After Doctor Lu mixed the powder, he scooped some on the cotton cloth with a spoon.
Manbao carefully wrapped it up with a clip, and Xiao Yuanzheng wrapped it several times with the connected cotton thread, and a smallpox vaccine was made.
The three of them mixed three pills in a row, then went to the next room together and told the three nervous prisoners, "Let's start the vaccination today."
The three of them were extremely nervous, and then they looked at the three imperial doctors. One of them took a cotton ball from a small wooden box and stuffed it into their noses, with a cotton thread still hanging outside.
The three waited for a long time but the pain did not come. The three doctors stepped back and nodded in satisfaction. They said to the three people: "The pox in the nose cannot be removed. From now on, it can't be removed until evening."
Doctor Xiao said, "It will take six hours, and someone will have to keep an eye on it. Who will go first?"
Manbao volunteered, "Me, me, me."
Doctor Lu rolled his eyes and said, "No one is competing with you for it, so you can stay."
Xiao Yuanzheng then warned her, "You should be careful too. Even though you've been through what happened in Xiazhou, you can't be careless here. Be careful not to stumble."
Manbao said he understood. After seeing the two people off, he packed up his things and stared at the three people at the door.
Three prisoners: ...I suddenly feel a little bored, and my back feels a little cold.
See you tomorrow
