At the beginning of the civil castle, the Ming God of War was a little panicked

Chapter 433
"I remembered, there is a book!"

Wan Zhen'er got up suddenly, went to the bookcase at the side, and rummaged through it.

Zhu Qizhen was taken aback for a moment, and said in his heart that I'm telling you something serious!
I am the emperor, and I have used such polite words as "unfeeling favor" when talking to you, why are you running away?

But seeing that Wan Zhen'er's mind is full of medical books, it seems that she didn't listen to her words at all.

"Please look, Your Majesty, there are records here!"

Wan Zhen'er came over with a book with an unknown name, Zhu Qizhen smiled awkwardly, and reached out to take it.

It is recorded in this book that since the Eastern Han Dynasty, troops from Mayuan were sent to Jiaozhi, and after the soldiers returned, a kind of acne began to spread in the Central Plains.

...the shape is like fire sores, all of them wear white pulp, and they will live with each other.After the severe disease is cured, the sores and scars will be purple and black, and they will decrease when they get older. This is a vicious aura.

"Your Majesty, there are more here!"

Wan Zhen'er handed over another book and turned to a page:
... In the fourth year of Yonghui, the sores flowed from west to east and spread all over the sea. Boil sunflower vegetables and eat them with garlic, and they will stop.If you are in a hurry to eat for the first time, you can eat less food, and you can get it from Jianwuzhong in Nanyang, and it is still called a sore.

After reading it, Zhu Qizhen asked, "What about the treatment of this kind of acne?"

"There are many methods recorded, most of which are detoxification methods, but..."

Speaking of this, Wan Zhen'er raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she saw something strange.

"The son of Wang Dan, the Prime Minister of Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty, was suffering from smallpox and asked the genius doctor of Mount Emei to vaccinate him. The acne developed on the seventh day, and the acne was very good. On the thirteenth day, the scab appeared."

"Wait a moment!"

Zhu Qizhen suddenly thought of something, and took the book in Wan Zhener's hand.

"The miraculous doctor vaccinates..."

Wan Zhen'er was puzzled, and asked: "The emperor knows this method?"

Zhu Qizhen didn't answer, but was thinking in his mind.

What are vaccination sores?

Could it be smallpox!
He suddenly raised his head and asked, "Look again, is there any similar records?"

Wan Zhen'er agreed and continued to read the medical books on the shelf.

After a while, I finally found another one.

"In Taiping County of Ningguo Prefecture, the surname failed to be tested, and the biography of the Dan family was obtained from a different person, and it spread throughout the world. So far, most of the flower growers are from Ningguo... Your Majesty, is this what you are talking about?"

"Exactly!"

Wan Zhen'er nodded, and then marked out all the records and treatment methods about acne, and sorted them together.

Zhu Qizhen already had a plan in mind, and he went to read the book again, mainly to confirm whether the idea in his heart was correct.

On the whole, these records are very similar to the records in Zhu Qiyu's memorabilia, and it is very likely that they are what later generations called smallpox.

Unknowingly, the sky darkened, Wan Zhen'er lit the oil lamp and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late, you haven't eaten yet."

"Don't be in a hurry!"

Zhu Qizhen slowly closed his eyes, and searched for the vanished smallpox virus from the depths of his memory.

In his time, records of smallpox were only seen in textbooks.

Because long before he was born, human beings had completely eliminated the smallpox virus.

The virus may have started as a relatively harmless poxvirus in domestic animals before evolving and adapting to the human disease smallpox.

Later, people gradually discovered accidental cases similar to cowpox infecting humans.

It is roughly because after humans entered the agricultural age, they domesticated a large number of new animals and lived with them, often in the same house.

In this way, the smallpox virus continued to evolve and quickly adapted to different environments and hosts, and finally evolved a terrifying form with a fatality rate as high as 30%.

What's even more frightening is that such a fatality rate is still in modern society.

If placed in the Ming Dynasty, where the medical level is underdeveloped, the fatality rate is estimated to be more than half!

And the only way to treat this virus is vaccinia!
It can be seen from ancient books that in fact, in Chinese history, some people have invented the method of vaccinating acne and treating sores.

Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, applied the pus from smallpox aphtha to the skin to prevent smallpox. Among the people, smallpox vaccination became popular.

The cowpox of later generations is to let cattle infect humans with the smallpox virus, and thus become infected.

However, animals like cattle have innate resistance to smallpox virus, and the infection is only mild, and it will be fine in a few days.

It was found that if the spotted sores infected by cattle were extracted again and passed on to the human body, although the spotted sores would appear, the toxicity was greatly reduced, and the fatality rate was almost reduced to zero.

Zhu Qizhen suddenly opened his eyes and said, "There is one thing I need you to do!"

Wan Zhen'er hurriedly said: "If the emperor needs it, he will do it, and the slaves will do their best!".
"I just said that the king of Zhou has already set off for Nanhaiwei."

"Yes, the servant heard it."

"However, before King Zhou left, he did not come up with a set of effective treatment methods. I am worried that he will make slow progress when he arrives in Nanhaiwei. In addition, many people there are also infected with the disease. It is not very convenient for some female relatives. so……"

Zhu Qizhen hesitated for a moment, then continued: "I'm going to send you there!"

Wan Zhen'er was stunned for a while, but she didn't expect that the emperor would assign such an important task to herself.

"The servant will leave tomorrow!"

Zhu Qizhen smiled lightly, and said: "The situation is urgent, but I'm not in a hurry. Before you go, I have to explain to you the method of vaccination."

Wan Zhen'er nodded: "Your servant must study hard!"

"Look at these records..."

Zhu Qizhen took out all the records about vaccination and treatment of diseases, waited for Wan Zhen'er to read them all, and then said: "Actually, it is not difficult to treat this disease, as long as there are cows."

Wan Zhen'er asked suspiciously, "What bull?"

"It's just an ordinary cow!"

Zhu Qizhen explained: "Extract the sores from humans and plant them on cows. When the cows get sick and develop sores, they will be planted back on people!"

Wan Zhen'er was puzzled and asked, "Why?"

"This... I can't explain it clearly, anyway, just remember it!"

"Okay, servant girl, take note!"

"and also……"

Zhu Qizhen still had something to say, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he suddenly became hesitant.

Wan Zhen'er asked: "Is there any order from the emperor?"

"I just think... what identity did you go over with?"

"The servant girl is a doctor of the Ming Dynasty, with the official title of the fifth rank."

"I'm afraid it's not enough."

"Why?"

Zhu Qizhen smiled and said: "This official in the inner palace has never been in charge of outside affairs. If you go to the front line with your identity, I'm afraid it's, I'm afraid it's..."

Wan Zhen'er said: "Don't worry, your majesty, slaves and servants go to the front line to treat illnesses and save lives, they rely on their abilities, not their official titles."

Zhu Qizhen seemed to have made an important decision, and asked, "Actually, I can give you a new identity."

Wan Zhen'er asked, "What identity?"

"Emperor Concubine Ming!"
