Marin was actually a little unhappy about the Pope's father-in-law's suggestion. Because smallpox is a big weapon. If the method of preventing smallpox is so easy to trade, you can't use smallpox to make a fuss in the future.
However, the fierce reaction of the Holy See also made Marin realize a problem - the spread of smallpox against the enemy, while harming the enemy, it is also easy to become a cross-border rat that everyone calls for. Even the angry countries may be united and destroyed.
So, although it was a pity that Marin thought about it for a while, he decided to accept the advice of the Pope's father-in-law and offer the cowpox method in exchange for actual benefits.
However, he has his own opinion on how to operate. After all, he is the soul of modern people who have experienced the hype in the later generations. Marin is more proficient in how to use the cowpox method to exchange for the greatest benefits than his Pope Father-in-law.
So, at his suggestion, Pope Julius II first came forward in person to openly pray for all smallpox patients.
In addition, Julius II offered a public reward throughout Europe - if anyone could find a way to defeat smallpox, he would give him a crown!
Julius II's attitude was unanimously respected by all over Europe, but no one thought that anyone could get this crown. Because in everyone's eyes, smallpox is no different from death.
Moreover, according to superstition, smallpox, like the Black Death, is God's punishment on the earth, and which mortal can solve it?
Only a few people in Beihai Kingdom knew that this crown was prepared for their Grand Duke Malin...
Because, although Marin kept it confidential and did not disclose the effect of cowpox, a small number of insiders still knew that they could fight smallpox after growing cowpox. For example, the core senior management of the Beihai Kingdom and some spies, especially those sent to the epidemic area, Marin clearly told them that they could be immune to smallpox before they dared to return to Spain, southern France and Italy.
However, there was a big mistake in the middle - a spy sent by the North Sea Kingdom to Italy was probably confused and was confused. He planned to offer the cowpox method himself and exchange it for the throne with the Pope...
As a result, this guy was naturally dealt with by someone sent by Julius II...
Just kidding, this was originally a crown for your son-in-law. You, a servant, actually tried to seize the credit of your master? Besides, give you a crown, do you have land?
...
Subsequently, Julius II issued 12 edicts in succession, with guilty edicts, and earnest prayers to God for blessing the people... In short, a good pope who was eager to save the people was performed to the extreme...
At the critical moment, Marin finally stood up...
Of course, Marin cannot directly say that he invented a method to fight smallpox. After all, this is too fantasy and does not conform to the religious environment.
Therefore, Marin still let the non-existent so-called "big sage" teacher Einstein take the blame...
Marin said that the Pope's piety moved God. Therefore, God specially guided himself to look through the notes left by his former teacher, Einstein, and found clues. After several months of attempts and risking himself, he finally found a way to fight against smallpox - the Cowpox method!
In order to not communicate directly with God’s defense to his Pope’s father-in-law, Marin said that he had asked this question in his dream, and God’s messenger said that the Pope only manages believers, not diseases. Therefore, this matter needs to be told to the Holy See through the hands of others...
...
After this toss and deceptions, the whole of Europe was sensation - what? Smallpox, which represents the devil and death, was solved? Is it true? Moreover, this method of cowpox is too weird... It's really useful? Many people expressed doubts...
But Julius II, who had already grown vowel, showed a wound on his arm and said that the Pope had taken the risk and tried it himself, no problem! Who of you will grow vowel first?
In front of everyone, while others were still hesitating, Archbishop Giovanni of the Medici family, who had already discussed with Marin and Julius II in private, stood up first - I'll do it!
How could he miss this good opportunity to win reputation? Moreover, the Pope and Marin repeatedly promised that there was no danger. How could he miss this opportunity?
If the Pope hadn't had planted cowpox, it would have been a repulsive reaction if he had planted it again. How could Julius II allow him to steal the show?
In full view of everyone, Archbishop Giovanni, the future Pope Leo X, bravely rolled up his arms and shouted with his eyes closed:
“God is with us!”
Then, the people sent by the Beihai Kingdom took out cowpox from the transported smallpox cattle and planted them on Archbishop Giovanni's arm in public...
The other archbishops of the Cardinal Corps did not respond immediately, but chose to observe for a while...
More than ten days later, Archbishop Giovanni was still jumping around, but was a little uncomfortable for a while. Then dozens of cardinals in the Cardinal Group rolled up their arms and waited for the cowpox planting...
By the end of July, all the priests in the city of Rome had planted cowpox and began to promote them among the Roman citizens.
To this end, the North Sea country transported thousands of smallpox cattle to supply cowpox. Julius II also issued an order to collect private plowing ox for cultivation and collection of cowpox to supply the needs of the entire Pope.
In particular, in early August, a large number of missionaries who had grown cowpox in the Pope went deep into several epidemic areas where the Pope was isolated to help survivors who had not yet been infected and had smallpox outbreaks grow cowpox. During this period, no missionary who had grown cowpox infected smallpox...
Finally, in mid-August, France and Spain, who were waiting and watching, immediately submitted applications to introduce cowpox. After all, these two countries urgently need to control smallpox!
Of course, after they introduced the smallpox cattle assigned by the Holy See, the first step was not to send it to the epidemic area, but to the capitals of both countries, and to plant cowpox for all the monarchs and nobles. Then, they began to cultivate new smallpox cattle and sent it to the epidemic area for use...
At this time, the three major epidemic areas in France, Spain and Italy had more than 300,000 people died due to smallpox, and the death toll was still increasing.
After the cowpox was delivered, it immediately triggered looting and even fought. It was the army that took action to get the matter done. Of course, the soldiers also gave priority to the cultivation of cowpox and then gave it to the civilians...
Marin also made a small profit by exporting small bovine as a source of cowpox to various countries. England alone introduced 3,000 small bovine beefs from the North Sea. Of course, these cattle were bought by Marin from the Ukrainian grasslands of the Crimean Khanate and the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, and the price was cheap.
...
When the whole of Europe was growing cowpox, Julius II decided to declare that he would fulfill his reward and prepare to grant Marin the throne.
