Manbao's acne matured very quickly, and he only had a low fever. He never had a fever of 37 to 8 degrees Celsius. Within two days, the acne became mature and scabbed, and he could almost peel it out.

Xiao Yuanzheng and the others also came to see it and nodded with satisfaction.

When the emperor heard that everything was going well, he couldn't help but raise the corner of his mouth and said to Bai Shan: "It won't be long before this disease disappears from our country."

This is impossible. The Taipei Hospital has made estimates. Even if all teenagers under the age of sixteen do not resist vaccination, it will take at least seventy or eighty years before smallpox can be eradicated.

However, regardless of whether young people under the age of sixteen are willing or not, they currently do not have the ability to cover every place in Dajin.

This is a long and arduous task. Xiao Yuanzheng said privately to his subordinates, "It may take two to three hundred years for the country to be peaceful and the people to be safe."

And who can guarantee that the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe in the next two to three hundred years?

In the past two years, they were always worried about the princes seizing the throne, so Xiao Yuanzheng didn't bother to remind him of the emperor's confidence and just let him be happy. Time would slap him anyway.

Bai Shan knew it was impossible, because the place was very poor, let alone Qili Village. Who would be responsible for the cowpox vaccine?

County government?

Or the county medical office?

By the way, Luojiang County does not yet have a medical department. Currently, there are only thirty-eight prefectures and counties equipped with medical departments.

Several more have been opened this year; before, there were only about twenty.

The entire Jin Dynasty has 358 prefectures and 1,551 counties. No, that's not right. After the pacification of Gaochang, two more prefectures and six counties were added. And the inland prefectures are sometimes for the convenience of management.

We also need to combine, save and increase.

Think about it with your toes, even if there is one medical office in one state, there will be 360. With the current growth rate of local medical offices, how many years will it take to do it?

The emperor's lack of recognition did not prevent him from amusing himself. After thinking about the future, he happily called Wei Zhi to ask how the Yongzhou new city plan was going.

Wei Zhi said that the survey of the place had been completed, and they had moved the location within the range designated by the emperor so that the new city could better exert its effect, but most of it was still within the range designated by the emperor.

The emperor was very satisfied after taking a look at it, and immediately approved, "Let the Ministry of Industry build it."

Wei Zhi refused, and proposed that the construction of the new city be postponed by one month. He said: "Your Majesty, it is busy farming at this time. Let's wait until the summer harvest is over before collecting labor."

Yes, it was said that it was built by the Ministry of Works, but it was also under the leadership of the Ministry of Works, and the workers were still required to collect labor.

The emperor thought for a moment and agreed. He could only regretfully step back for another month.

Bai Shan knelt down and listened quietly, thinking to himself, the autumn harvest will start soon in a month, which means everyone has no days off all year round. The labor intensity is so high, I am afraid that the life of Chengding in Yongzhou will be difficult.

, and I don’t know what the Ministry of Finance plans to give them.

Bai Shan, who has seen forced labor since he was a child and has done a series of investigations and even written articles, knows that for Ding slaves, their difficulties lie not only in the intensity of labor, but also in their diet.

In fact, as long as their diet can keep up with their labor intensity, they can mostly tolerate it, but based on his years of experience, it is difficult for the food provided by the local county government to keep up with the labor intensity of the laborers.

Bai Shan was thinking wildly. The emperor had already sent Wei Zhi away. He couldn't help but reveal some secrets to Bai Shan, "Isn't Zhou Man's restaurant in Yueyang? A new city is to be built over there. She can build a new city there."

Build some shops and the like on the food court."

Bai Shan was stunned for a moment and then said: "Your Majesty, you cannot build houses on farmland, let alone shops."

The emperor choked and said after a moment: "The five hundred households assigned to her always have some barren mountains and wilderness within the residential area. Is it okay to build a few shops?"

Bai Shan said: "There is Yueyang County between them, which is not connected to Xincheng."

The emperor could only express his regrets. When he returned to the harem, he told the queen: "The county magistrate of Yueyang didn't know what he thought. He placed Zhou Man's food town near Wannian County. If Bai Shan hadn't said

, I don’t even know yet.”

The queen asked him, "Why did you think of asking about Zhou Man's fiefdom?"

"Didn't I see that she was loyal and considerate? I thought that I couldn't reward her with anything, so I thought of giving her something. Who knew that her fiefdom was not over Xincheng, but over Wannian County, across the way?

It’s a little far away, so this matter has to be settled.”

The queen narrowed her eyes, "What do you want to give her?"

"I want to give her a way to make a fortune," the emperor said proudly, "I originally thought of letting her build a shop in my own town. Then she can rent it out and she will make a lot of money."

The queen blinked and said after a while: "I remember that we have two royal estates in Yongzhou. One of them is outside the north of the city. It's quite big. You said you wanted to give Mingda a dowry."

The emperor nodded.

"There is also a small one in the southwest, who do you want to give it to?"

"Also for Mingda," the emperor smiled and narrowed his eyes, "I have allocated it to Wei Zhi and the others to build a new city. When the time comes, we will build a separate courtyard for Mingda there and build two streets of shops. They will all belong to Mingda. Isn't she going to raise too much?"

Did you get three hundred personal guards? If the Ministry of Revenue does not give you this part of the money then, let Mingda support it by himself."

Two streets of shops should be enough to support 300 people, right?

In this way, 300 of the 800 personal guards can be regarded as Mingda's private soldiers. Even if they are nothing like that in the future, the Princess Mansion does not have to return them and give them to the children for continued use, so as to prevent them from being bullied.

The queen looked at the "thoughtful" emperor and was speechless for a long time.

However, the emperor still asked the queen for credit, "Zitong, what do you think of my arrangement?"

The queen looked at him quietly.

The emperor also slowly stopped smiling, and said to her seriously: "I have thought about it, and Wei knows that they can't object."

"The land belongs to me. At worst, I don't need the Ministry of Industry to contribute. I will let Taifu Temple build it. Anyway, I must build two shops for Mingda." The emperor paused here and said to her: "Changyu's

The fiefdom is a little far away, so I can't do this. When the time comes, I will give her a restaurant here in the capital."

The emperor was still a little heartbroken when he said this. The restaurant was a property he bought when he was still in the palace. Although the business was average, he and Duke Su often went there to drink.

The queen rubbed her forehead and reminded him: "Your Majesty, please don't make this matter public until the new city is built."

The emperor knew that she agreed and immediately said happily: "Okay, I will listen to the queen in everything."

How strange!

The queen glanced at him and said nothing.

Just when the emperor was secretly trying to save money for Mingda, Manbao's acne scab finally fell away, leaving three shallow acne marks on the inside of her arm. She stretched out her hand and pressed it, but she felt nothing but a little bumps.
