Su Ji was surprised and asked, "The method of vaccination?"
Tang Shiyue nodded and talked to him.
At present, no cows with smallpox have been found, so we can only vaccinate against smallpox. It is best to use mature vaccines, that is, vaccines that have been continuously inoculated and refined, and whose toxicity has been reduced.
If there is really no such thing, you can only use the seedlings of the time. The only criterion for selecting seedlings of the time is to distinguish whether the seedlings are smooth or not... The smooth seedlings are waxy and shiny, thick and plump, and can be collected and used.
Most of the smallpox vaccinations are done with water seedlings, which involve grinding 20 to 30 smallpox scabs into fine powder, mixing with 3 to 5 drops of clean water or human milk, and then spreading a thin sheet of new cotton wool, wrapping the smallpox seedlings in it, pinching it into a date pit shape, tying it with a thread, and inserting it into the person's nostrils. After 12 hours, the smallpox vaccination is considered successful if the person develops a fever and sees smallpox after 7 days.
The more Su Ji listened, the more serious his expression became: "In this way, isn't it the same as deliberately contracting smallpox?"
"Yes, fight poison with poison!" Tang Shiyue said seriously, "Once you have had smallpox, you won't get it again, right? So once you have been infected, you won't be infected again. If you use the method I mentioned, the reaction to smallpox will be milder, and you won't die, nor will your face be covered with pockmarks. After this bout, you won't get smallpox again."
She paused and said, "There is actually another method, which is to vaccinate cowpox. Have you ever seen a cow with pox? The reaction to cowpox is very mild, and cattle farmers who have come into contact with cows with pox will develop a few small pustules on their hands. There will be no serious fever at all, and they will recover in a few days. After that, they will never get pox again. I have asked people to look for cows, but they may not be able to find them."
Su Ji closed his eyes and thought for a while, then asked her, "Where did you hear this method from?"
"I can't explain it clearly," Tang Shiyue said slowly, "Some things I suddenly knew, and I can't explain where I knew them from, but I believe they are right. Mr. Su, if you don't believe me, then wait until their chickenpox has scabs, and then you can give me the vaccine first."
...
...
Su Ji looked up at her in astonishment.
She let him watch calmly.
Su Ji suddenly said seriously: "I believe you. You and I are only meeting for the first time today. You said this regardless of the risk. In the final analysis, it is for these children and the people in the village."
He was an imperial physician and had spent most of his life in the palace. Of course he could recognize the Dragon Guards, and he said this with great sincerity.
Tang Shiyue nodded: "I will never let you down."
At this moment, Chen Changqing came running over: "Master Tang! Master Tang!"
Tang Shiyue stood up and went out to greet him. Chen Changqing ran out of breath and said, "Didn't you say yesterday that you wanted to find the cow with pox? I went back to check on my cow and it had pox!"
Tang Shiyue was overjoyed: "Really?"
She followed Chen Changqing to take a look, and sure enough, there was chickenpox on the cow's rump. Tang Shiyue was overjoyed.
Cowpox is much less dangerous than human smallpox, and the reaction is much milder. There is absolutely no risk of pockmarked face.
She was extremely grateful for her good luck, as she could get what she wanted in such matters!
Tang Shiyue first discussed a few words with Su Ji, and then directly asked the clan leader to ring the gong, gather everyone together, and explain the vaccination matter again.
You know, although most people who get smallpox are under ten years old, in fact, anyone can be infected at any age. And Tang Shiyue's body, to put it bluntly, is only thirteen, so she is still a child.
She pushed the vaccination method onto Su Ji, but she directly stepped forward to be the one to be vaccinated: "Don't worry, I guarantee that nothing will happen. I'll be the first one to come, who dares to follow me?"
Poor Meng Er Shao had just rushed back, and before he could even stand firmly on his feet, he was frightened by her again. He covered his chest and said, "Ayue! No! Are you crazy?"
The villagers who were terrified just now suddenly gave up all their doubts and said: "I dare!"
"I dare you too!"
"Blessed Lady, who wouldn't dare?"
Xia Yuhui and several others who had witnessed the wild boar hunting mobilization meeting were very calm, while Young Master Meng opened his mouth wide.
Then he instantly felt that he was outdone, and in a rush of excitement, he rushed forward and said, "I dare too! A Yue! I'm the first! I want to be the first!"
"Okay!" Tang Shiyue smiled at him gently: "Then I'll give it to you, you'll be the first one!"
Qing Weiliao took a step forward: "Master's wife, I'm coming too."
"Okay." Tang Shiyue was confident: "The vaccination won't cause too much of a reaction. At most, you'll get two small pimples and a slight fever. You all know Kung Fu, so you can come in together."
Ding Jiu squatted on a tree far away, silently watching the cult-like scene in front of him. He almost used up all his patience to hold back and said, "We want to come too."
To vaccinate against smallpox, a small scratch is made on the arm, usually on the upper left arm. Then small pus of smallpox is smeared on the damaged area. Usually, small pustules will appear at the vaccination site within two or three days, and a slight fever will occur within eight or nine days. Even if the vaccination is successful, recovery will occur quickly.
Since Meng Yiqiu was going to go first, Tang Shiyue practiced on him, which was actually equivalent to demonstrating to Su Ji.
Then Su Ji followed suit and did the same to her.
After he planted a few, he handed them over to Qing Weilai, and even Su Ji himself asked him to come over for a while.
The three people, Qing Wei, took turns to plant seeds for all the men, women and children in the village, and finally planted seeds for themselves.
This is really crazy.
If one thing goes wrong, the whole village will die.
And if the epidemic spreads as a result, the entire Longmen Town, the entire Dongfeng County, and the entire Qinzhou may not be spared.
Ding Jiu was really a little surprised why he didn't stop it.
As usual, he wrote a secret letter, tied it to the eagle's leg and sent it out. Then he went to the county government office and informed the matter to County Magistrate Lin.
County Magistrate Lin did not know their identities and only thought they were Tang Shiyue's people.
When he heard it for the first time, he was so shocked that he smashed the teacup and his face changed.
But after listening carefully, he heard that it was Tang Shiyue who personally promoted it and planted it himself, so he sat down again slowly.
After a long while, he said in a deep voice: "I believe in Ayue. That young lady has her own ideas. If she does it, she must be sure of it."
At this time, in the capital.
In fact, at this time, only one day had passed since the last secret report.
Emperor Ming Yan had just received the first secret report yesterday. When he read it, he couldn't help but twitch his lips.
He shouldn't have asked them to show up!
This young lady is really rude. She asked them to plant trees directly? "Fruit tree grafting"? What the hell is this?
But at the end, Emperor Ming Yan suddenly narrowed his eyes.
The Hulongmen reported the incident without changing a single word. They only recorded it without adding, subtracting, praising, criticizing or judging it. Therefore, what Emperor Ming Yan saw was a complete record of the incident.
At first glance, Emperor Ming Yan was indeed speechless, but it was precisely those four words at the end that made him suspicious.
The first two are: "Green willows spitting catkins" and "Red plums budding"
The last two are: "Five Lakes and Four Seas" and "Ten Thousand Mountains and Rivers"
The last two are barely acceptable, but the first two are incomprehensible.
She took out the first two first and then the last two. Is she really uneducated or is it just a coincidence?
There is no emperor who is not suspicious. Emperors usually do not believe in coincidences.
Therefore, he was more inclined to believe that she was doing it on purpose, pretending to be crazy.
Emperor Ming Yan pondered for a moment, then suddenly waved his hand and called someone over: "Tang Shiyue often writes letters to Huo Qijing. Cut one of them, no, copy one and bring it back for me to see."
The shadow guard responded and retreated silently.
