Chapter 286 Vaccination with vaccinia

Chapter 286: Vaccination of cowpox

Li Ji said: "Yes, Lord Wang dares to act and take responsibility, he is a hero. I admire him... I don't know!" He just followed Xiang Tu's words and said he admired him.

Wang Ping'an hummed twice, nodded solemnly and said, "It's very inexplicable, indeed very inexplicable!"

Seeing them sarcastically, Xiang Tu quickly smoothed out the situation and said, "None of the others has come yet, but the cow with cowpox has been found."

Wang Ping'an said oh, and he thought it was not easy to find. Some things are like this. When you don't use them, they always appear around you, which makes you feel annoyed, but once you use them, they disappear and you can't find them no matter how hard you look for them.

He said, "Are there many cows that get cowpox? I found them in just a few days. I thought I had to search on the grassland!"

Xiang Tu said excitedly, "Although Chang'an is big, it's really difficult to find a cow that produces cows with cowpox! I usually hear that there are cows that have rinderpest, and there is no interruption. But I really want to find such a cow, but I can't find it. Our army sent more than a thousand people and searched around Chang'an for 500 miles, but I couldn't find one!"

As the three of them spoke, they walked towards the side of the small village, where there were several families, specially used for raising cattle, and there were large groups of soldiers guarding them around.

Xiang Tu continued: "We thought we could not find such a cow, so we had to go back to the city to report and wait for a board. On the way back, we saw a Hu caravan driving seven or eight hundred Turkic cows. We hurried up to check it out, and we really found that there were cows with cowpox inside!"

Li Ji frowned and said, "Cowpox is rinderpest. If you can have one cow inside, I'm afraid you can't run away!"

Xiang Tu hurriedly said, "Who said it was not? When we went in and checked, we found that there were at least fifty cows inside that had cowpox, and more than fifty cows. Hu Shang was really unethical. When he saw that cows had cowpox, he did not kill them, but instead rushed to Chang'an to speed up and wanted to get rid of them as soon as possible. I heard that cowpox is the smallpox produced by cows. If so many cows enter the capital, how many people will die if a plague breaks out?"

While they were talking, they came to the cattle raising place and entered one of the yards. They saw a simple cowshed in the yard with more than a dozen big cows locked in it. The big cows were very depressed, some were lying on their shores, and some were standing. When they saw someone coming in, they didn't even make a moo!

Xiang Tu said: "We led all the sick cows, and the Hu Shang was arrested and sentenced to death. If he hadn't been able to overcome smallpox, he would have brought them together this time!"

Wang Ping'an said: "For the benefit of the merchant, he came from the grassland thousands of miles away. It was normal for fear of losses. It was a bit too late to cut his head." After a pause, he said: "It's also a blessing for him, otherwise our dialectics would be difficult to continue!"

Li Ji snorted: "The death penalty can be avoided, but the life penalty is hard to forgive. If he spared this time, wouldn't it be like telling other Hu merchants that even if they sell sick cows or sick horses to the Central Plains, there will be no punishment? There will be more and more unscrupulous merchants!"

Wang Ping'an said: "This is true. The students have no idea. It is still Lord Li who said it correctly."

He came to the big bull and asked Xiang Tu to set up a torch. He looked at the sick big bull carefully and saw that it was a cow. He couldn't see clearly elsewhere because it was dark, but he could see that there were a lot of small bags on his mouth and under his neck, and white pus flowed out.

Wang Ping'an stood up and said, "Yes, it's cowpox, the symptoms are similar to smallpox!" He glanced at the cows around him and said, "So many sick cows are enough for dialectical diagnosis. It's great, General Xiang, you're doing this very well!"

Xiang Tu seemed to be a very clever person, otherwise he would not have sent him to do this. After hearing Wang Ping'an praise him, he hurriedly said, "The last general will not have any credit. It is all thanks to the emperor's great blessing. You all have good teachings. It is because the prince gave this opportunity that the villain can serve the court and establish such a small amount of hard work!"

These words were almost exactly the same as Wang Ping'an said in the Chongguan! Wang Ping'an laughed and said, "It is very rare for General Xiang to be proud of his contributions. After this incident, your official position will definitely rise!"

After hearing this, Xiang Tu smiled like a flower on his face, and he was humble without saying that he had made no contributions, but that he had all the contributions!

Wang Ping'an looked roughly all the bulls in the yard, and then left with Li Ji. Xiang Tu arranged a room for them to stay and sent additional guards to protect the two adults to rest.

The next morning, after Wang Ping'an got up, he finished washing, eating and drinking, and left the courtyard. Seeing that Li Ji had gotten up early, they went to see the death row prisoners together. The soldiers were doing things in a good manner, letting them go, shaved their hair, washed them, put on their clothes, and made all preparations, waiting for Wang Ping'an to repair them!

When the death row prisoners saw Wang Ping'an coming, they were like seeing the living hell, screaming and hiding backwards. Of course, they knew that they were going to be used for dialectics. Although they were sentenced to death, if they really knew that death was right in front of them, they could not help but be afraid. Wang Ping'an represents "death", the absolute Living Hell.

Seeing that Wang Ping'an looked a little unbearable, Xiang Tu hurried over and said, "Sir Wang, don't show mercy. These people are extremely guilty. You see, they are pitiful now, but in fact, those who have been harmed by them are really pitiful."

He said it was quite politely, and Li Ji shouted: "Boy Wang family, don't show his appearance as a woman. If you let go of such a bad person, it will be like harming a good person. It should be done, so just do it. Be careful, I will give you some advice and tell you how many uses of hemp rope!"

Wang Ping'an hurriedly said, "Where did Lord Li say, the students sympathize with them." After a pause, he asked Xiang Tu and said, "Who is the most crime committed by the person here?"

Xiang Tu stepped forward and pulled out a man in his forties and said, "This villain was unfilial to his parents, so he killed his father and starved his mother to death. He was unforgivable and sentenced to Lingchi!"

Wang Ping'an said: "That's him. Other people have not arrived yet, let's start with him." No matter what, it is dangerous to diagnose the evil disease of smallpox. If it can be proved first in the evil, it will be a kind of protection for good people.

The evil man heard that he was the first to attack him and screamed: "Why is my biggest crime? That man even murdered the imperial officials. This is considered a rebellion, and it is more than my crime!"

Xiang Tu smiled and said, "Stop talking nonsense, say you are you!" He pulled the evil man out of the house and took him to the cowshed.

After entering the cowshed, Wang Ping'an asked someone to take a knife, and made some acne juice on a sick cow, which was stained on the knife. He turned around, pointed it at the evil man's arm, and then slashed it!

The evil man screamed, his eyes turned pale, and he fainted straight!

In fact, the knife is not harsh. It just cuts the skin and produces some blood beads. It doesn’t even need to apply medicine. The wound can heal in half a day. This evil man has a thick skin and a thick flesh. How could he faint from such a small mouth? He was so scared that he fainted!

Wang Ping'an thought for a while and said, "One knife may not be safe, let's cut it again!" He squatted down, slashed another knife at the other arm of the evil man, and applied all the acne juice on the knife's surface to the wound. Then he said, "This time he should be safer, he will definitely get cowpox!"

Li Ji looked around and said, "That's fine, it's too simple, right? According to common sense, he should have smallpox in about ten days. Wouldn't that directly prove that this method is effective? Then why should we recruit more people?"

Wang Ping'an hurriedly said: "It takes less than ten days, and it is estimated that in just two days, his cowpox will occur, but the symptoms will be very mild, just a few small blisters. Then we take out the acne from the small blisters on his body and give it to other people to see what others do. That is the real acne. It is not just a smallpox that can be obtained directly, it is not that simple!"

Li Ji said oh, it turned out that's the case, and this is a little troublesome.

Xiang Tu brought up the evil man, found a separate house, threw it in, and sent someone to take good care of him. He should not let the evil man seek frustration because of fear!

While he was busy, someone suddenly came to report that Wang Jue Ye's family had arrived. Wang Ping'an hurried out and saw many people standing outside the small village, all of whom were sweating profusely!

Ding Danruo and Ke Lianwu both came. They were the kind of people who wanted to die with Wang Ping'an even if they died. Di Renjie also came. He had never been able to get smallpox, but the young man was very loyal and did not forget the oath he made with Wang Ping'an. He truly lived and died together. This was not what he said, he really did.

Ouyang Lige and others also came. They were all from the Western Regions and had to pass smallpox. They were not afraid of anything, so they naturally came.

Hui Zheng and the two monks in trouble also came with each other. They had never had smallpox, but they were not afraid at all. Hui Zheng's thinking was different from that of ordinary people. If I don't go to hell, who will go to hell? I have to go to hell! But if I don't go to hell, there is no way. He belongs to me and doesn't go to hell, so I can only go to hell. I hope there is no uncle in trouble.

So, they also came, intending to help Wang Ping'an.

Zhao Bi and Lu Xiuzhi, who were usually called happy, did not come. They followed Wang Ping'an to Chengtian Gate and could not fall behind. But if they took the bus to Shikeng Village again... they said that suddenly there was something urgent. After they handled the urgent matter, they would definitely come to Shikeng Village. As for when they would handle it, they would say something else!

What was unexpected was that Qiu Tingxuan came! This is the difference between people. You can’t see anything. Qiu Tingxuan is not like Zhao Bi and Lu Xiuzhi. He just sticks to Wang Ping'an when he has nothing to do. He doesn’t come often and rarely flatters Wang Ping'an. But at the critical moment, he comes, which is better than ordinary people!

Wang Ping'an smiled at them and said, "It's all here, it's easy for you to come in. If you want to go out, it will be at least two months later. In this small village, there is nothing you want, can you stand it?"

When Ding Danruo and Ke Lianwu saw him coming out, they ran over and shouted, "It's pretty good here, but it's hard to walk. They didn't let us come in by carriage, so we had to rely on our way. We were almost dying of heat!"

Hui Zhengze proclaimed the Buddha's name and chanted Amitabha Buddha first, then said: "In the eyes of monks, everything is the same. There is no difference between the prosperous world and the barren land!"

When he was in trouble, he said: "Little Doctor Ping An, why do you want nothing here? There are too many mosquitoes!"

Hui Zheng hurriedly rebuked: "You are not big or small, can you call the little miracle doctor Ping'an? Why don't you call me the Grand Master's Uncle!"

Ouyang Li and his brothers all said, "All subordinates have to live with the smallpox, and Zuo Wuwei has nothing to do, so we come together." After a pause, he said, "Even if we don't live with the smallpox, we will come!"

Wang Ping'an nodded at them, then said to Qiu Tingxuan: "Brother Qiu, why bother with this? You don't use it!"

Qiu Tingxuan sighed and said, "I can trust you for you. This dialectic will be successful, so I will get some advantage and make some contributions, so I can take it out to show you in the future!"

Wang Ping'an scratched his head and thought to himself: "Isn't it because of this to propose marriage to the Ma family, so as to show that you have a manly spirit and can look at life and death directly?"

Li Ji curled his lips and looked at them, but said, "Boy Wang, you have a bad reputation. In addition to your family, you only have two monks and two friends. It can be seen that you are too confused about dealing with people and can't make close friends!"

Wang Ping'an said: "Yes, yes, Ping'an is far less than Lord Li in dealing with people!" He turned to everyone and said: "Let's wait here. Lord Li's family and friends will probably arrive soon. We will welcome them here. There will be many people. We can help them carry their luggage or something!"

Li Ji was so angry that he almost wanted to go up and kick him. He knew that no one came to see me, but you still said that, you deliberately angered me, right? When he got angry, he started coughing and spitting all over the floor!

Everyone talked and laughed, entered the village, settled their luggage, and went out to play outside the village and enjoyed the scenery in the mountains.

Two days later, the people who were recruited came one after another. The first group of people were slaves who wanted to leave their homes. The next group was mainly scholars. There were really many scholars coming, with a total of 150 or 60 people. Moreover, the scholars who were severely criticized by Wang Ping'an last time actually came with more than 30 people. They were seeking wealth and dangers. They were considered to have made up their capital, and if they failed, they would be successful.

The last group of people came to the public were ordinary people, mainly women and children. Although they were good people, their lives were difficult. The court agreed this time that as long as they participated, they would be given land to them regardless of success or not. Many people were willing to take risks and come to participate!

On the third day, everyone had arrived. Li Ji ordered the road to be closed and the village would be strictly investigated.
