Yuan Bohua wasn't actually in a hurry. The only people who mattered most to him in this world were his two children and Yue'er. He had already planted all three of them, so he wasn't worried about this issue in the short term.
According to Doctor Zhao's promotion trend, it only takes one opportunity for this cowpox treatment method to be noticed by the emperor.
However, Yuan Bohua was also willing to help Yue'er solve the worries of the person she was worried about.
Seeing that his father-in-law and eldest brother were both in deep thought, Yuan Bohua offered his own idea, "Why not just send Yan'er and De'er there directly? It would be best if we do it in a grand manner.
When the emperor asked about it, my father-in-law and eldest brother said, "Some people in the south have suggested that vaccinating people with cowpox can prevent smallpox. My father-in-law and eldest brother feel sorry for our child and want to send him there to try it."
As for what the Emperor thinks after hearing this, that is not our concern."
Yuan Bohua thought about it privately for a long time and felt that after all, it was so far away, and no matter how thorough the plan was, there would always be unreasonable and suspicious aspects.
It would be better to just give it to them directly. As for how the emperor would react, they don't want the credit, so it has little to do with them.
Zhou Zhiyi followed Yuan Bohua's line of thought and thought about it. He also felt that the prince's idea was good. He and his father just thought things were too complicated:
"Father, I think the prince's method is good. As long as the emperor asks, we just need to think about how to reasonably find out about this matter."
Marquis Cheng'en also thought the prince's method was good. "That's not difficult. Have you forgotten that we've only been back from the south for half a year? Then we can say that we heard someone mention it while we were in mourning, and out of curiosity, we sent someone to investigate.
We thought it was interesting and wanted to send our child there to try. Even if it doesn't protect against smallpox, it won't kill us, so there won't be much loss."
"Is it settled then?" Zhou Zhiyi couldn't wait to send the child over. This was mainly because many of the servants died when the eldest prince was infected with smallpox a few years ago.
Zhou Zhiyi is no longer worried about his eldest son, but he is worried about his youngest son De Ge'er!
At present, Zhou Zhiyi has only one wife, Cheng, in his backyard, and only two children, Rong Ge'er and De Ge'er.
Cheng Shi did not stop Zhou Zhiyi from taking a concubine. In the early years, Zhou Zhiyi did not take a concubine because he was afraid that the women in the backyard would cause trouble for Rong Ge'er.
Later, Cheng had De Ge'er, and Zhou Zhiyi had become a third-rank official. He was full of energy and ambition, wanting to do something big, and he had even less interest in worldly affairs.
Actually, a powerful official like Zhou Zhiyi has a lot of things to do! Sometimes Zhou Zhiyi even wants to live directly in the place where he is on duty.
There's really no time to play the you love me, I love you game.
Zhou Zhiyi didn't want to find a bunch of women to enter the backyard and perform a big show every day. He just wanted to have a good rest when he returned home, or quietly think about how to complete the task at hand.
After all, when it came to Zhou Zhiyi, there was no title to inherit.
People outside called Zhou Zhiyi "Prince" out of courtesy for the emperor's sake. After all, his father's inheritance of the title of Marquis Cheng'en was an exception.
Starting from Zhou Zhiyi, it was the time for the men of the Zhou family to truly rely on themselves.
Seeing his eldest son's eagerness to send Dege'er for vaccination immediately, Marquis Cheng'en rubbed his brows with a headache, and kept sighing in his heart, "Sons are all debts."
In the end, Marquis Cheng'en expressed his concerns in front of his son-in-law and eldest son:
"It's easy to talk to you, but it's not so easy to talk to your fifth brother's wife.
Yu had always treated Yan'er like the apple of her eye. If she had sent Yan'er away for vaccination with great fanfare, she didn't know what kind of trouble would arise.
Over the years, your mother has only educated Yan Ge'er, but Yu Shi can't wait to go to Xiyangyuan and make a scene every day.
Besides, who can guarantee that there is absolutely no risk in this kind of thing? What if something happens to Brother Yan, what will the Yu family do? "
Zhou Zhiyi thought about his fifth brother's wife's noisy mood and didn't dare to take on the task of persuading her. He could only suggest, "Let your fifth brother come over! Talk to him about this matter and let him decide for his son."
After Zhou Zhiyi finished speaking, he added, "Should we send the next generation of people of the right age over there?"
Marquis Cheng'en was very tempted by the idea proposed by his eldest son. After all, a large family prospers together, and this opportunity must be utilized well.
Although the emperor will be sure of the effect later and may unify the species, that will require layers of negotiation, and it would be bad if there were any changes during this period.
However, since they were relying on the prince's influence, they definitely had to ask for his opinion. "Does your prince think this is okay?"
Yuan Bohua didn't expect that in just a short while, his father-in-law and elder brother would go from sending two people to sending a group of people.
Yuan Bohua didn't care. He wasn't needed to send the people there anyway, but the risk was still high. "How about, father-in-law take a six-month leave, send the people over to plant them, and then send them back?
By the way, my father-in-law can also plant one over there. It would be even better if I can bring my mother-in-law along."
Yuan Bohua felt that since they were ready to herd a flock of sheep, they had to choose the person in charge.
Zhou Zhiyi's eyes lit up when Yuan Bohua suggested this. He wasn't sure if someone else was sending his son there, but if his father was sending him there himself, he would be completely relieved.
Of course, Cheng'en Hou Zhou Wencan saw his son's gaze and could only sigh in his heart again, "Sons are all debts!"
Although Marquis Cheng'en was filled with emotion, he finally decided to go there himself. "Okay, my current position is a sinecure anyway, so I might as well take these kids out for some training."
Marquis Cheng'en was not afraid that these people would not support this matter. Anyway, he would notify each family, and he would not force them to not go.
Yuan Bohua and the other two had just finished discussing this matter when Zhou Zhiquan hurried over.
Zhou Zhiyi told Zhou Zhiquan about this matter without asking his brother-in-law and father for advice. Zhou Zhiquan naturally thought it was a great thing.
Zhou Zhiquan agreed without hesitation.
Yuan Bohua and the other two were not happy at all, but remained silent.
Zhou Zhiyi couldn't help but remind him, "Fifth brother, have you forgotten your fifth brother's wife? Her attitude should be very important."
Although Zhou Zhiquan also felt that the situation was difficult, since it concerned his son's affairs, he would not follow Yu's wishes. "It's okay. When the time comes, just let Dege go with father. I will take care of Yu's family."
Seeing his son's attitude, Marquis Cheng'en's expression softened slightly, "It's not easy for you either."
Zhou Zhiquan didn't care. People always have to bear the consequences of their choices. He could just keep an eye on Yu's troubles, but he couldn't just divorce her if he regretted it.
Yuan Bohua really felt that his fifth uncle had a good temper. He didn't understand why, but he wished him well.
