Shopkeeper Liu looked at the foot of the mountain for a long time and finally confirmed one thing.
These people really came here for Miss Chongjun.
Not long after, the fat man was seen walking back with the four children.
Can you really vaccinate so easily and without any doubt?
The people present looked at the man with complicated expressions.
I don't know whether to say he's stupid or to admire him.
Shopkeeper Liu stepped forward and stopped him with a smile.
"My fellow villager, please find a place to live in the city first. The children have been vaccinated and will probably have a fever tonight at midnight," he said. "But don't worry, let them drink more water, and they will probably be fine after a few pox tomorrow afternoon."
The fat man's eyes lit up, and he looked at the child in his arms and immediately guessed something.
"Have you ever planted this child?" he asked.
Shopkeeper Liu nodded with a smile and handed his grandson forward.
"Look at the pimples on your neck," he said. "It's fine today."
Citizens from the capital city also gathered around, watching in amazement and attentively, until the little grandson of Shopkeeper Liu started crying.
"What's there to see?" The fat man didn't care at all and waved to the onlookers, "Ms. Jun has already said these reactions."
At the same time, he bowed to the storekeeper Liu.
"Thank you, fellow villager. I will find a place to live now."
Shopkeeper Liu thought for a moment and called him again.
"If you don't mind, I can arrange accommodation for you," he said.
The fat man stared.
"You, who are you?" he asked.
"I'm from Deshengchang." Shopkeeper Liu said with a smile. Just as he was about to introduce himself again, the fat man said "oh".
"So it's Miss Jun's family." He said, waving his hands, "You want to do charity again, no no, this time vaccinating everyone is already a great charity, my old Yan family is rich, you don't have to worry about me."
Then he dragged his four children away in a staggering manner.
Those who can bring their children to the capital from so far away must be rich people.
But there were still many people who had no money, especially those who had heard the news along the way and rushed over.
Shopkeeper Liu patted the child in his arms.
"Go and make arrangements. We at Deshengchang have reserved all the inns outside the city gate." He said to his staff, "Anyone with a Jiulingtang vaccination certificate can stay for free, and three meals a day will be provided."
The people around stared.
This is more money.
How dare they do this? Was this someone bribed to get vaccinated? Aren't they afraid of being accused of being hired as a showman?
Shopkeeper Liu scanned the crowd with a smile on his face.
"Such a great merit-making event is rare," he said. "It is my honor to be able to do so."
Having said that, he turned around and walked away leisurely without any worries, leaving behind a group of Beijing residents with different expressions.
The incident here spread like wildfire throughout the city. There was no need to look at the grandson of Shopkeeper Liu. The people who were being vaccinated were all staying in the inns outside the city gate. There were nearly one or two hundred people, and as many as they wanted to see could come.
As the news spread more and more, people continued to line up in front of Guanghua Temple. Soon, people in the capital discovered that officials from the court were also lining up. Although the officials did not go in person, their dodgy servants tried to cut in line with their children and were scolded by the unfamiliar Wucheng Bingmasi.
The servant blushed and whispered his name.
This title is very useful in other places and at other times, but unfortunately, the Five Cities Military Command is currently under the command of Zhu Zan, the son of Duke Cheng.
"No matter if you are a Hanlin scholar or a Sansi official, get in line."
Hanlin Academician and Three-Division Envoy! The children of such high-ranking officials were here, and the onlookers were even more shocked.
Soon another piece of news came.
The smallpox vaccines used to prevent and treat smallpox in Guanghua Temple are almost gone.
In addition to those who came for smallpox vaccination, many gentry from Yangcheng and Runan also came to ask Miss Jun to go back and vaccinate the local people. After all, only a few people can come to the capital.
I heard that people from Yangcheng and Runan were going to fight over where Miss Jun should go back first.
The onlookers could no longer sit still and flocked to Guanghua Temple.
Soon, Guanghua Temple announced restrictions on vaccinations. Although the price of vaccination remained unchanged, the same rules as those of Jiulingtang were in place, with time limits, days limits, and number of people allowed.
The smallpox vaccine was about to run out, and Miss Jun was leaving. She couldn't catch up and missed it. She didn't expect that a group of outsiders and bumpkins would get the upper hand right under her nose.
Various ideas spread among the people of the capital, and the capital began to boil like a boiling pot.
Fang Jinxiu stood in front of the Jiuling Hall, watching people gathering on the street to discuss the vaccination at Guanghua Temple. She was happy to have been vaccinated, but worried about not getting a number. A smile slowly appeared on her face after more than a month of silence. She raised her head and watched the cuckoo flying across the sky.
After another winter, spring is here.
The willow branches on the street seemed to have turned green overnight.
The chill had dissipated a lot, the wind blowing through the streets had become much softer, and people had changed into spring clothes, but the streets were not crowded because the Ministry of Rites examination would be held in three days, and the students preparing for the exam were making final preparations.
However, compared to the importance that the people and the court attached to the imperial examination in the past, this time it was rarely mentioned. Now everyone's eyes and thoughts were on the Guanghua Temple outside the city.
After the ministers in the court went to Guanghua Temple for vaccination one after another, the princes and nobles in the capital could no longer sit still. Just yesterday, Prince Xian went to the palace to ask the emperor to lift the ban on Guanghua Temple so that Miss Jun could come to vaccinate the children in Prince Xian's mansion.
After all, the children of Prince Xian’s mansion can’t follow the crowd to line up.
"So the Emperor has given his approval?"
"I'm sure they didn't give permission, but they sent an eunuch to Guanghua Temple."
The news spread quickly. Why did the eunuch go to Guanghua Temple? Was it to announce the lifting of the martial law in Guanghua Temple?
"My father-in-law is joking."
Miss Jun said.
"Of course we can't let King Hyun queue up, and Guanghua Temple doesn't prohibit people from leaving. It's just that there are many patients here, and they are all suffering from smallpox, so it's not convenient for us to leave."
The eunuch was very happy to hear this.
Yes, that's right. Your Majesty's ban is not aimed at them, but because of the large number of patients and the special disease of smallpox, so as not to cause panic among everyone.
"Now that the number of people is limited every day, our doctors are all busy enough to handle it." Miss Jun said, "Since the King of Xian wants to be vaccinated, let's just send one doctor to the King of Xian's mansion."
The eunuch nodded happily again.
It is said that Miss Jun speaks harshly and has an arrogant temper, but this is simply a rumor.
"Also, I wonder if this vaccine is good enough?" He asked in a low voice, and then added a hint of cover-up, "We've seen quite a few people with this kind of pox along the way."
"The smallpox vaccine can be used to treat smallpox. It can be used to treat smallpox." Miss Jun said, "Please rest assured, father-in-law."
Although he was very curious about how the smallpox vaccine was produced and used, the eunuch also knew that this was the secret technique of Jiulingtang, and it was a taboo to ask doctors about their secret techniques. Besides, he had already got the answer he wanted, so he felt relieved.
Miss Jun arranged for a doctor and a eunuch to go to Prince Xian's palace.
"It is better for Miss Jun to go there in person." The eunuch said after a moment of hesitation.
"In fact, it has always been these doctors who vaccinate people. When it comes to vaccination techniques, they are much more skilled than I am." Miss Jun said with a smile, "I just make the vaccine."
The eunuch felt a little regretful but didn't say anything. He had indeed seen it with his own eyes just now. He had also asked those who performed the smallpox vaccinations before coming here. Those who performed the vaccinations outside the temple were other doctors, and Miss Jun was inside the temple the whole time.
Seeing a doctor following the eunuch away, Doctor Feng and others had complicated expressions.
Everyone knew what the eunuch's arrival meant: it meant that the emperor finally accepted the smallpox vaccination.
This time the doctor vaccinated the children of King Hyeon's family, and next time he will vaccinate the princes and princesses.
This means that vaccination can finally be implemented nationwide.
In order to promote the policy throughout the country, people were needed to do the work. Miss Jun told the eunuch directly that she would not vaccinate and would let the doctors do it. It was obvious that she wanted them to do this.
"Miss Jun, although you seldom perform vaccinations yourself, no one in the world can compare to you in terms of vaccination skills," said old doctor Feng.
Miss Jun smiled.
"I am very skilled," she said.
"Then why do you still want us to do it?" said a doctor.
"Because you can do it." Miss Jun said, looking at them, "I've said it before, I only treat diseases that you can't cure, and I only do things that you can't do."
