698 Cowpox Succeeded!
The seven stars of the Liang King descended to earth, the magic medicine was given to the world, and the pox nemesis was born!
A few days after Shen Kuo left, I was afraid that even the house had not been cleaned up, and an explosive headline was published in the Fuzhou Daily, the acne rash has been cured!
It's not just the title, it's the content. Mr. Qiu Shi personally wrote the method of planting pox invented by King Liang in detail in Fuzhou Daily, with four full pages and more than ten pictures. Even if a person who can't read and write, as long as he does what is drawn on the picture, he can't go wrong.
Pox is a thing from south to north, no matter what, everyone can get it, but it's not one or two people, sometimes a village is infected, and every family has to have a funeral within a month.
Compared with earning money, listening to stories, and discussing government politics, everyone is more concerned about their own lives. Regardless of whether this method really works, it is always right to take a look, so the newspaper was sold out as soon as it went public.
Those who didn't buy it also had a way, they paid for someone who wrote the letter to copy the newspaper, and they didn't want any nonsense about the official family and the court's control of the people, just write down the method of how to extract and inoculate cowpox.
On the second day, the third day, and the fourth day, Fuzhou Daily kept printing the same newspaper, but as soon as it was taken out, it was immediately sold out, and some people even slept outside the daily newspaper office and bought as many copies as they could.
Why do these people want so many newspapers? Make money. Locals can copy newspapers, but outsiders can't copy newspapers. They took newspapers to neighboring states and counties, and sold them at high prices, and books were still expensive.
In less than ten years, Fuzhou Daily followed the carriages and horses of the Shunfeng Dart Bureau and the Shunfeng Post Office all the way north to Yangzhou, according to this trend, it can be seen in Kaifeng City after two or three days, and it can enter Ganliang Road after ten days.
Only the southwest mountainous areas and Shu are slower, but they will never exceed two or three months. As long as there are businessmen coming and going, Fuzhou Daily can arrive, and the method of planting pox will also be popularized.
This is still the case in other places, and Yangzi Town is even more sensational. Hong Tao did not wait for the Fujian Daily to publicize it, and took the lead in posting notices in the town to recruit volunteers to publicly test the efficacy of cowpox.
All boys and girls under the age of 15 who have never had acne can sign up and voluntarily go to Qianyuzhai to get vaccinated against vaccinia. After the second decade, the pox rash was deliberately infected by wearing the patient's clothes and smearing the patient's pus.
If a child falls ill within 10 days, the Liangwang Mansion will compensate the family for 100 yuan, regardless of whether they live or die. Children who are not sick are given nothing and are not charged any consultation fees. In addition, Liang Wang's own son Wang Minyu, who is less than four years old, will also participate in the test with ten children.
As soon as the notice came out, within a few days, the city was full of people. Not only did the people of Yangzi Town sign up enthusiastically, but many people from Yangzhou in the north and Guazhou Town in the south also came and expressed their willingness to contribute to the miracle doctor. Of course, without 100 compensation, the children in the family will definitely have acne, and there will be no chance to be effective.
Hong Tao is not afraid of many people, the limit is only ten children, and it is in vain to come more. For the sake of fairness, the group was drawn to determine whose children were selected, and the final result was very intriguing, and the ten children drawn were all girls.
This is not a coincidence, but the base number of girls is too large, almost 100 per cent. Few parents are willing to take their boys on the adventure, and girls are losing money anyway. It is estimated that many parents are looking forward to their children being infected with the disease, so that they can earn 100 yuan for their families.
Everyone in Liangwang's Mansion was vaccinated with cowpox, or touched a hand of cowpox, and the effect was very good, at most there was some low-grade fever and headache, and there was no herpes, but Hong Tao and his son Wang Minyu were not vaccinated.
Hong Tao knew that he would not be infected with all the diseases on earth, and his descendants would be the same, but he couldn't explain this to others, so he could only let his son be stabbed again.
But this knife can't be taken in vain, everything has to maximize benefits. It is the most cost-effective to let Wang Minyu participate in the public test, and he is also the eldest prince of King Liang, who is more noble than him except for the prince?
I won't go into detail about the testing process, but the scene is very lively anyway. Yangzhou Zhizhou led a group of officials, together with Shuai Si and Cao Si, who were far away in Chuzhou, also came over to observe, and their attitude was very sincere.
They have not only seen and heard of the ability of Qianyuzhai, but some have also tried, who can guarantee that they will not get sick, as long as the Langzhong in the city does not see it well, they will have to be sent to Qianyuzhai immediately.
Several little doctors here are also really powerful, many incurable diseases are in their hands and they are immediately cured, even if they cannot be cured, they will give relief solutions, and they are obviously effective.
Especially for the treatment of trauma and carbuncles, gangrene, boils, boils are the most proficient, originally after eating a long time decoction can not be seen good stubborn disease, to the shallow Yu Zhai immediately see the good, stay for a while most of the time can be cured. It's just that sometimes the means are a little bloody and a little scary.
But the acne rash is not the same as other diseases, it is more scary and there is no solution, if there is a way to cure it, it is a real miracle doctor, even the royal family does not dare to turn a blind eye, after all, few people can have the protection of the star monarch like the king of Liang.
Twenty years later, the results came out, and the pox patients were provided by Yangzhou and Guazhou towns, and by this time all three patients had died. But none of the ten women and one man, including the son of Prince Liang, were infected with acne, and they were still eating white and fat in the ward of Qianyuzhai, and their faces were full of redness.
Now the shallow fasting can be lively, day and night are blocked by a street of people, the nearby people all pull their children to receive the miracle medicine healing, many people who have had acne rash also came, planning to treat again, the more the merrier.
Wang 18 and the nurses had no choice but to inoculate the visitors with cowpox while teaching the method to the nearby Langzhong. Wait for these people to learn the method of vaccinia inoculation and then go to the villages and towns to become barefoot doctors, otherwise they will not be able to plant until next year the endless stream of people who are still rushing here from all over the country will not be able to plant just by shallowly fasting.
Hong Tao is not idle, Qianyu Zhai can no longer insert his feet, and the official eunuchs in Yangzhou dare not clear the field and engage in privileges at the door of the eldest princess's business, nor can they bear to let their wives and children go to eat and sleep with the people and queue up, let alone plant cowpox.
When everyone was in a dilemma, King Liang sent someone to send a letter, saying that everyone was a colleague and an official in the same place, so they naturally had to help each other, and all the families of officials and the families of the forbidden army could go to King Liang's mansion to be vaccinated.
Too polite, too benevolent, too dignified! Regardless of whether he had prejudices against this Liang King, who had an extremely bad reputation, he had changed it all to thank him at this time.
Since King Liang is so friendly, everyone can't be rude, hurry up and get some gifts that you can get your hands on, bring a generous consultation fee, and visit the door according to the day mentioned in the letter.
As soon as he arrived at the Liangwang Mansion, both big and small officials felt that the previous rumors about the Liangwang must be biased, this one was as impersonal as the legend, not only took the eldest princess out to greet him, but also arranged a sumptuous banquet to entertain the guests.
After eating and drinking, I will take a concubine, an adopted daughter and several families to vaccinate each family with cowpox.
Hong Tao is really sexually transformed? That's impossible, he just doesn't want to stiffen relations with the local government. Instead of waiting for them to come to him and go through the back door, it is better to take the initiative and gain a good reputation.
It is very unwise to have a hard cap on this matter, and there is not much of a matter of principle, you can't be the enemy of all the Great Song officials, you have to unite when you should be united, for example, now.
"King Liang, please rest assured, this matter should have been contributed by the lower officials, but it is a dereliction of duty to let King Liang and the eldest princess work so hard, ashamed, ashamed!" Zhizhou also made a friendship with Hong Tao after he was full of wine and food, and turned around and said that he was a fellow villager and a fellow clan.
Who is Zhang Jia? Shen Kuo's second father-in-law. Everyone knows that the colt and Shen Kuo have a good relationship, but they really can't find a reason to have a relationship with the colt Pan, and they can make do with Shen Kuo.
Officialdom is like this, everyone is a human being, everyone is covered with a hard protective shell outside, and there is no hard rhetoric, how can it be better to further contact feelings.
No, if the relationship is connected, the rest will be easier to do. As long as it is in Yangzhou, the vaccination of cowpox can be fully supported by governments at all levels, not only to set up vaccinia vaccination points in each county, but also to send messengers to help maintain order.
The government posted notices to publicize the effects of cowpox to the public, and the effect was more effective than public testing. In this way, cowpox is equivalent to obtaining the endorsement of the local government, and the doubts in the hearts of the local people are basically eliminated.
"Lord Zhang is too modest, although this matter starts from this king, but the state government is the real promoter. Eliminate the disease for the people, this credit can not be erased by anyone, and then let the scholars of Benzhou render and render, and the day of Lord Zhang's ascension can be waited. ”
Hong Tao has such a purpose, vaccinating cowpox can not rely on shallow fasting alone, but must mobilize the masses to do it together, and the effect of obtaining official recognition is completely different from not being recognized.
If you want the government to do things, you can't just talk about ideals and ambitions, let alone expect to get unlimited support for vaccinating their family members with cowpox.
Equivalent exchange, if you want to get follow-up help, you have to come up with something that can move people's hearts, to put it bluntly, it is benefit. After the credit for popularizing cowpox vaccination was distributed to the state government, it was no longer the only beauty of Liangwangfu in this major event, but the merit of all Yangzhou officials.
These officials often belong to several factions, and whoever dares to obstruct or try to belittle them for other purposes has to wonder how much resistance there is, and whether it is worth turning against so many fellow officialdom for the sake of disgusting King Liang or grabbing wealth.
This is called the equalization of interests, no matter whether it will eventually cause partisan rivalry in the court, he can be in an invincible position, and no one can erase Wang Xu's exploits in inventing cowpox.
The people will not go to the court to fight for power and profit, they will only remember themselves, as well as those Lang Zhong and the doctors who helped them, and the cows and cows who provided cowpox.
