Chapter 64 If you don't die a little, you won't realize the problem!

"Are you sure there will be an outbreak of smallpox?"

In the imperial study room, after Zhu Yuanzhang listened to Empress Ma and Zhu Biao's narration of the previous events.

He also looked a little ugly at this time.

The eldest grandson, Zhu Xiongying, was probably infected with smallpox and died suddenly
And in the near future, a large-scale smallpox plague will break out in the territory of the Ming Dynasty.
No matter which one of these two things is, it is definitely bad news that cannot be worse.

Especially the outbreak of the smallpox plague.

In history, as long as the plague broke out, which time was it not a corpse?
So when he heard about smallpox, Zhu Yuanzhang had to cheer up 12 points at this time.

"Your Majesty, I don't know exactly when, but the outbreak should have happened. Anyway, during the Ming Dynasty, there were many disasters in the world."

"Such as the Spanish flu and the Black Death, almost all of them were concentrated in the time range of the Ming Dynasty. I just don't remember whether it was the early or late Ming Dynasty."

"As for the local side of the Ming Dynasty, smallpox seems to have erupted more than once."

"The specific situation, I am not very"

"All right, all right, we don't want to hear your nonsense!"

Seeing that Chu Ze wanted to chatter again, Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt his words.

Speaking of today, he is also a little upset.

Inexplicably, he was scolded by Queen Ma, but now he heard such damn news again.

Zhu Yuanzhang, who came from the chaos of war, knew better than anyone else the terrible consequences of the plague.

Once the plague breaks out, it will be easy for the people to live in dire straits.

"Are you sure that the method of vaccinia vaccination you mentioned can cure the smallpox plague?"

After interrupting Chu Ze's words, Zhu Yuanzhang frowned and asked in a low voice.

Seeing that he was about to start talking about business, Empress Ma, who was originally sitting on the main seat, silently stood up from the dragon chair.

And Lao Zhu, who was still serious at first, suddenly lost his seriousness when he saw his sister give up his seat for him.

The whole person looked at Queen Ma with a smile, and silently handed over the teacup in his hand.

Seeing the tea cup handed over by Lao Zhu, Empress Ma naturally took it.

"Your Majesty, I can't guarantee it! And I want to remind you emphatically that the method of vaccinia vaccination is not a cure. It is a preventive method!"

"The knowledge I remember is that those who have had smallpox once and survived will not be infected with smallpox again in the future."

"As for cowpox, it seems to refer to the disease after the cow is infected with smallpox. How to explain it... It means that the health of the cow is better. It can cure part of the smallpox on its own and make the smallpox disease weaker, but it is still smallpox. "

"At this time, people take the initiative to get this kind of smallpox which is much weaker once. After it is cured, it will not get that kind of very severe smallpox again in the future."

"That's roughly what it means."

"Remember, this vaccinia vaccination is for prevention, not treatment! Don't get vaccinated until you already have smallpox. That would be a big joke."

Chu Ze really didn't know how to explain things like vaccines and viruses to Lao Zhu and the others.

Anyway, in terms of the current generation gap in knowledge between them, it is estimated that this matter is difficult to explain clearly.

All Chu Ze could only tell Lao Zhu emphatically that prevention is not equal to treatment.

After listening to Chu Ze's explanation, Zhu Yuanzhang still frowned.

He naturally understood Chu Ze's explanation.

But after he understood it, he was still a little unsure.
After all, according to Chu Ze, cowpox is the disease of cows infected with smallpox..
On weekdays, everyone can't avoid the smallpox plague.

At this time, take the initiative to get another... even if it is weaker, it is not a good thing!

In case something goes wrong, this is a terrible thing!
Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's frown, Empress Ma naturally saw what he was worried about.

This method of vaccination against smallpox is considered real.

But if you want to popularize it on a large scale, it may be difficult!
At least before the outbreak of smallpox. The imperial court can't rashly order the people to be vaccinated against vaccinia, right?
Although cowpox is not fatal, it can still cause death.

If there are people with a heart to obstruct secretly at that time, I am afraid that there will be a catastrophe.

You know, this is not in modern times, just send a news if there is any notice.

Now even if we know that cowpox can prevent smallpox, how to spread it on a large scale is still a problem!
"Chu Ze! Have all of you future generations really wiped out the smallpox plague? How did you find out that cowpox could prevent smallpox at the beginning? How did you completely eradicate smallpox later? "

Seeing Lao Zhu's worries now, Empress Ma took a sip of tea from the side and said this very casually.

When Zhu Yuanzhang heard what Queen Ma said, he glanced in the direction of Queen Ma with some blame.

However, as soon as he looked over, he immediately collided with Queen Ma's piercing eyes.

The frightened old Zhu quickly looked elsewhere.

Old Zhu was like this. Most of the time, he was more face-saving, and he couldn't make up his mind about some things, but he didn't want to ask others, so he just figured it out by himself.

Especially Queen Ma, he actually likes Queen Ma to give him advice, but often worries that Queen Ma's ideas are better than his.

It's such a shame.

At this time, although he was also worried about this matter in his heart, Lao Zhu felt that he could not lose face after being asked so clearly by Empress Ma.

"Empress, this matter is actually unnecessary and can be arranged forcibly, and the compulsory arrangement will easily arouse the rebellious psychology of the people!"

"It is human nature to seek good fortune and avoid evil. The imperial court only needs to send out the news that the smallpox plague is about to break out, and then tell people that the imperial physician's research has found that after vaccination with cowpox, they will no longer get smallpox."

"If the imperial court forces all the people to be vaccinated against vaccinia, then they are very good. You insist on letting them get sick. Isn't it that the imperial court is harming everyone's interests? If your own interests are damaged, you will inevitably have resistance. .”

"But if you change the angle, you tell them that smallpox is coming, and the horror of smallpox is basically known to everyone. At this time. Under the threat of death, the court found a way for them to avoid death .”

"Most people know which one to choose between a cowpox and a smallpox."

"Those who are not willing. Let them die. How can the world understand the merits of the court's move if some people are not killed?"

 Readers, the author is still suffering from influenza A, and the high fever does not subside, everyone should pay attention to safety!
