"If I stay here any longer, they won't have the best opportunity. They might get infected with smallpox the next moment."
"So, I will have Prefect Fang gather all of you who haven't been infected with smallpox together. That way, I can unify the time and vaccinate more people, helping more people."
"If you all want to get vaccinated, please go to Yanzhou Prefecture. I will vaccinate everyone for free."
The village chief then said, "Madam Mu is right. The entire Yanzhou Prefecture needs Madam Mu now. We can't keep her trapped here."
Afterwards, several elders in the clan also expressed their opinions, and the matter was settled.
Anyone who wants to follow them to Yanzhou Prefecture tomorrow can set off with them early in the morning.
On the same day, Bei Yutang sent a letter to Yanzhou Prefecture by carrier pigeon.
Lei Yuting saw that she would be arriving in Yanzhou soon, and told the matter to Prefect Fang.
Prefect Fang was very happy that he had finally waited for her.
When Gu Fanzhi found Prefect Fang, he happened to see him and Censor Zhou chatting about something, and he was very happy.
"What are you two talking about that make you look so happy?" Gu Fanzhi came forward.
Prefect Fang restrained his smile a little. After seeing the ambiguous relationship between him and Gu Pianran, and Gu Pianran being the enemy of the Second In Command, he naturally couldn't talk too much about the Second In Command in front of Gu Fanzhi.
Censor Zhou smiled and said, "Madam Mu will come to Yanzhou tomorrow. I heard that her method of preventing smallpox was successful. This time, she will come to vaccinate all the people who have not had smallpox on a large scale."
"Vaccination?" Gu Fanzhi had never heard of this word before.
Prefect Fang explained, "Inoculation is the name of the method used to prevent smallpox."
"Oh, what a strange name."
Censor Zhou smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if the name is strange, as long as it's useful. If this method really works, it will be a blessing for the Southern Tang. When the time comes, I will definitely submit a memorial to the court and request credit for her."
"It's too early to say. No one knows whether the vaccination will actually work."
Prefect Fang wanted to refute, but because he was a prince and his official position was low, he did not dare to say anything.
Censor Zhou was different. He said directly, "Your Highness is right. We will see it tomorrow. This time she brought eleven people who were successfully vaccinated."
The news that Bei Yutang would arrive in Yanzhou City tomorrow spread quickly throughout the city. Even the patients in the isolation ward heard the news from the yamen runners.
Everyone was talking about Bei Yutang and her method of vaccination against smallpox, even those in the quarantine area were no exception.
"Do you think the second-in-command really succeeded? Are those people really not afraid of smallpox?" Some people couldn't help but ask questions. After all, smallpox is the most ferocious of all plagues and one of the plagues with the highest mortality rate.
As a strong supporter of Bei Yutang, it is natural that I trust him unconditionally.
"When have you ever seen the Second in Command lie to you?"
"That's right. If the Second-in-Command says so, then it must be true."
"I haven't heard that everyone from eleven hilltop villages succeeded. They're all there, so how can they be wrong?"
"That's right. Stop worrying about it."
Suddenly, amidst the discussion, someone said with regret, "If that's true, the people of Yanzhou City are saved. Alas, why didn't the Second In Command come here sooner?"
