There were thirteen other children of the same age as Yuanbao who were vaccinated in the same batch.
Only four of these people came on their own accord, and the rest basically came in order to gain Yinreng's favor, forcing their disliked children and grandchildren to come over.
But Yinreng didn't care. He just wanted people all over the world to see the effectiveness of cowpox in preventing smallpox.
The Imperial Medical Bureau spent a year studying cowpox and discovered that people who were severely infected with cowpox would develop resistance to smallpox after more than half a month. With the evidence from Yuanbao and the thirteen children, everyone who received the news fell into ecstasy.
Smallpox was one of the most horrific plagues of our time.
Just hearing about it is enough to scare ordinary people.
Now there are ways to prevent and treat smallpox. How can they not be excited?
Yinreng began to organize people from the Imperial Medical Bureau to carry out smallpox vaccination teaching in the inner and outer cities, and even in the suburbs.
There were two judges in the Imperial Medical Bureau, the left and right judges. Only one of them was allowed to stay in the palace every day, plus four imperial doctors. The rest were sent out by Yinreng.
What Yinreng didn't expect was that after this matter spread among the people, foreigners in the capital also set their sights on this technology.
These foreigners were not those from the outer cities who came for business, but for "academic exchanges".
Before Yinreng ascended the throne, they held great importance in Kangxi's eyes. As long as they were foreigners, even if they could only recite a few sentences from the Bible, Kangxi would provide them with food, clothing, housing and transportation.
But Yinreng did not have this bad habit.
He can support foreigners, but the foreigners must also have something that he can exploit.
After Yinreng came to power, he drove out all the foreigners who had no skills.
The rest of them basically held jobs inside and outside the palace, and it was impossible for them to receive salaries without working as before.
Of course, Yinreng did not expel the envoys from various countries who had been certified by the Lifanyuan.
But their treatment is also very different from before.
In the past, when Kangxi was in a good mood, he would spend a lot of money, so they lived a very comfortable life.
But now, Yinreng did not provide salaries for the envoys, and all expenses for the envoys' stay in the capital were provided by their countries.
Many people are dissatisfied, but they can only bear it.
However, Yinreng did not kill them all. He knew what the world would be like in the future, and he was tired of using English as the world's common language.
So I plan to start planning from this era.
Many foreign envoys were not very proficient in the language of the Qing Dynasty, but they could still communicate normally.
He asked these people to open language teaching classes in the outer city, select those with outstanding language talents among middle school students, and send them to the envoys to study.
In fact, it is too late for middle school students to develop foreign language skills, but in today's era, few people are willing to send their children to preschool education.
Moreover, children are too easy to be deceived. If there are a few bad ones among the envoys, he would not dare to use the translator even if he is an excellent one.
Yinreng always felt that the most dangerous people in the world would always be the Chinese.
The dangers in other countries are too superficial.
When it comes to scheming and manipulative tactics, the Chinese are the pioneers.
Therefore, the idea of educating infants and young children only flashed through Yinreng's mind for a moment before he kicked it out.
By the time he trains the translators, the neighboring countries should have had Qing Dynasty stations.
Since the envoys from foreign countries came to Yinreng for help, there was naturally no reason for him to hide anything.
But his teaching also has a prerequisite.
That means exchanging it for minerals.
Yinreng is not like Kangxi, who feels extremely superior when praised by others.
What he values most is the tangible benefits.
What the Qing Dynasty is most short of now are strategic materials such as steel and coal. Of course, Yinreng does not mind gold and silver.
Many mines have been developed in recent years, but who would complain about having too many mines?
After he laid out the conditions, all the envoys went back with grim expressions to pass on the message and inquire.
They have no say in such matters.
However, Yinreng did not have to wait too long. After more than half a month, almost all the envoys agreed to Yinreng's conditions.
The most generous among them are the Russians.
The Russians directly promised to give the Qing Dynasty a gold mine and a coal mine, both located near the border between the two countries.
Yinreng happily selected people from the court to inspect the goods.
Originally, he planned to send the sons of the fifth and seventh brothers over there.
But Yinzhen volunteered to be stationed at the northern border and take over the two mines.
Yinzhen had no choice.
At the beginning, he joined Yinsi's camp, but when his brothers united to rebel, no one was willing to take him with them.
Watching Yinreng being pushed onto the throne, Yinzhen felt extremely uncomfortable.
If someone had pulled him along in the rebellion and allowed him to benefit from the merits of following the emperor, he wouldn't have felt so aggrieved.
But he couldn't say it clearly, so after Yinreng came to power, he frequently went to Qixiang Palace in the name of filial piety.
But his calculations were wrong. He always thought that Kangxi was caught off guard and was forced to lose the throne.
He wanted to instigate Kangxi to take back the throne.
But what he didn't know was that after Yinreng received the imperial edict of abdication and successfully ascended the throne, the power held by the six princes, including Yinreng, had already exceeded the power that Kangxi could mobilize.
So he jumped around for two years, but not only did he fail to help Kangxi regain the throne, he also became the target of isolation by his brothers.
Life in the capital has been extremely difficult in recent years.
