Bei Yutang never expected that the people of Yanzhou would spontaneously come to welcome his arrival.
She never expected that she held such a high position in their eyes.
What she did at the beginning was just to increase her chances of winning and to destroy Gu Pianran's plan. However, this unintentional act actually brought about great benefits.
They did not go to the government office, but went directly to the mansion where Lei Yuting was temporarily staying.
Lei Yuting looked at the newcomer with a smile, "I've been waiting for you to come."
"Is Young Master Lei okay?" Bei Yutang looked up and down at Lei Yuting. His face looked a little thinner, which showed that he had a very hard time during his time in Yanzhou.
"Thanks to you, I'm doing fine." Lei Yuting said with a smile.
While they were talking, Prefect Fang and Censor Zhou hurried over.
For Censor Zhou, he was already an old acquaintance, but it was the first time for Prefect Fang to see him.
Prefect Fang came forward enthusiastically to greet him, "Madam Mu, I have long heard of your great name, and today I am finally able to meet you in person."
Censor Zhou couldn't wait to ask, "Where are the eleven people who were successfully vaccinated?"
"It's in the courtyard next door."
Lei Yuting ordered the eleven people to be brought over and learned the details of the vaccination process from their mouths. Censor Zhou was very smart and immediately understood the principle.
"Madam Mu, we first infect them with smallpox, and after they are cured, they will not be infected with smallpox again, is that right?"
Bei Yutang nodded.
"How did you manage to cure them? Or is your medicine capable of curing smallpox?"
Everyone looked at her curiously, wanting to know the ins and outs of it.
Bei Yutang was completely honest. "Smallpox is a virus, a poison caused by tiny insects."
They don't understand bacteria, so this is the only way to make them understand the principles.
"This virus actually first originated in cattle, but humans became infected after coming into contact with infected cattle. After the toxin entered the human body, it underwent repeated transformations over the years, gradually causing disease. The toxin became more virulent, which is why people contracted smallpox and were so prone to death."
"The smallpox virus has varying degrees of toxicity. If someone who has never had it gets a mild case and is infected with it, they can recover easily with careful care. The virus I use is the most primitive cowpox virus found in cattle."
Everyone understood, but those who didn’t understand still didn’t understand.
Censor Zhou gave Bei Yutang a thumbs-up. "Great, really great. How did you know that smallpox originated from cattle?"
"I read a lot of ancient books and was lucky enough to see an introduction to smallpox in one of them, which led me to this idea of treating smallpox."
"Smart." Lei Yuting couldn't help but admire.
For thousands of years, since the emergence of smallpox, no one has thought of finding the source, let alone coming up with a way to prevent it.
"Let's start vaccinating the people of the entire city without further ado," Magistrate Fang said impatiently.
"Yes. Before the vaccination, I need to tell all the people one thing. Please, Governor Fang, gather everyone together."
"No problem."
Prefect Fang immediately gave the order.
In addition, Bei Yutang asked, "I wonder if Xue Qian did what I asked him to do before."
"What's up?"
"Cows, I need lots of cows."
Censor Zhou understood why she planned to gather a large number of cattle. It turned out that they were used as an inducement for vaccination.
