Emperor Xiaoyao of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 344 Who Will Promote Vaccination?

The guards sent by Li Erye rushed back wave after wave, and all they brought back were good news.Works!No one who was vaccinated got measles!The side effects are not obvious, it's just a vesicle, compared to their punishment, it's like being bitten by a mosquito.

Li Erye was overjoyed, and the number of laughs increased significantly.He went for the purpose of leaving his name in the annals of history and creating a prosperous world. However, after more than ten years of war and plague, the population dropped sharply from more than 890 million households (more than 4600 million people) in the previous dynasty to 180 million households in the first year of Taketoku. (900 million people).This pot of Li Yuan and his son will definitely not be blamed, just throw it to the previous court, the reason is that Yang Ying's father did not care for the people, and he did a lot of projects that cost the people and money, which caused the people to live in poverty and smoke everywhere.I am the savior of the world, and I have saved the lives of more than 900 million people...

Many people have done this before, while cursing the previous ones, while enjoying the various tangible and intangible properties and conveniences left over from the previous ones, without any psychological burden...

The so-called prosperity in history is actually very simple, there are more people, and they can eat enough.On this basis, it is enough to fight a few more victories, flatten a few disobedient small countries, and call a few more foreign countries to come to worship.

For Li Erye, people who died of hunger have been basically eliminated now. There is more land than in the previous dynasty, but the people are only one-fifth of the previous dynasty!After the implementation of the land equalization system, as long as you are willing to work hard, even if God does not reward you, you will not easily starve to death.

Another problem that makes Li Erye choke in his throat is population.The infant mortality rate is too high!There are mothers who are too young to be congenitally deficient, and those who have not survived the disease, both of which account for a lot.

Measles, it's a good disease, it doesn't pick people, it covers a wide area, and it has a high fatality rate.Vaccination is not expensive, and the common people can afford it. If everyone in the Tang Dynasty vaccinated everyone, how much would the death rate be reduced?Even 1% is a big deal!

"Guitang is really my lucky star!" Li Erye embraced the little princess Chengyang, and while teasing her with his hands, he said to the eldest grandson queen: "I remember the iron he tinkered with first, right? Then it was paper, printing, and cotton. , Potato."

"There's still some food to eat, and I didn't make less tables and stools, and I didn't even make less medicine." Empress Changsun was also very happy to see the father and son playing around, "A while ago, Gui Tang made soap again, and Li Zhi brought it back. Quite a few, it’s easy to use as a concubine.”

"It's true what you said, but except for medicine, it's a small way, Gui Tang is too lazy and too greedy for enjoyment." Hearing what Empress Changsun said, Second Master Li was happy, "Look at these, which one is not For comfort and to satisfy the desire of the tongue?"

"Perhaps. But according to Lizhi, the Jin family village has changed a lot. The farmers are all happy and energetic. There is even a market." Empress Changsun picked up the cattail fan and fanned the two of them to cool off, " All the girls in the nearby Zhuangzi want to marry to Jinjiazhuang, and the girls in the Zhuangzi don’t want to marry outsiders, so the guys in the Zhuangzi have become a favorite.”

"Hahaha. There is still a way to make a fortune in the Tang Dynasty." Jinjiazhuang, Li Erye feels that he will not go there for a long time. If the villages in Datang can have half the level of Jinjiazhuang, then the prosperity he is looking forward to reached.

"That's right. I just made a lot of money from King Lu Zheng's family, and I made a lot of money from Japanese envoys on the back." Empress Changsun agreed with her husband's point of view. With Changle, Jinjiazhuang is in front of her. And transparent in general.

"I know about this." After talking about this, Second Master Li was even happier, "Guitang is too bad! A while ago he asked Changle to hand over the memorial. That word is really not good, hahahaha!"

"What he learned is different. Gui Tang didn't learn brush calligraphy when he was young, so his cursive calligraphy is still very good." Empress Changsun said something fair for Jin Yu, "But why is he broken?"

"This is the key point. He said in the memorial that these potatoes have begun to degenerate, and he is planning to carry out some detoxification projects. If they are not detoxified, they will be planted for another three to five years, and what they will harvest is not food, but poison !" Second Master Li also had his own doubts, "It's strange to say that Gui Tang is very wary of foreign countries. He just finished cheating Goguryeo a while ago, and now he is cheating Wa country to death."

"Isn't that good? It means that he is on the side of the Tang Dynasty." Empress Changsun is not ignorant.Is there really friendship between countries?When was it not typed out?Weakening other countries and strengthening ourselves is the way to survive!

"Okay, who can say it's not good." Second Master Li put his doubts behind him, "A while ago, this kid made another vaccination method, I sent someone to verify it, and the effect of preventing measles is good. In a few days, I will let the royal medicine plant it for you."

"Ah?" Empress Changsun was a little dumbfounded, "Didn't he himself say that he had used up all the prescriptions he knew? Why did another one pop up?"

"When Lizhi had a toothache two years ago, the one provided by Gui Tang was called toothpaste, right? I think Gui Tang belongs to toothpaste, and if I can't squeeze it out, I plan to squeeze him out." Second Master Li searched and searched, and finally found it. An apt description.

"Your Majesty intends to reuse him?" Empress Changsun was very surprised. She said before that she would leave it to Chengqian, and the change was a bit fast.

"We can't let him be so idle all the time. What's the future of planting grass? Many people have mentioned him these days. A few days ago, Chengqian asked Tang Guitang to summarize the methods of farming and growing vegetables." , want to promote it, Dai Guogong rarely expressed his support for Gui Tang to do some practical work, but he didn't express his position in which yamen he went to." Li Jing's statement made Li Erye a little unexpected, after all, he usually just put on a show in the court , do not speak easily.

"It's quite strange. It's not easy for Dai Guo to open his mouth." Empress Changsun was also surprised when she heard this.

"This is only one aspect." Li Er pondered, "I think that there may be reasons for the last time Hou Jun gathered. Anyway, it is a good thing."

"Which Yamen does His Majesty plan to send him to practice?"

"I didn't think about it. What he learned doesn't fit any yamen." Second Master Li had a slight headache, "Let's talk about it later, I want to promote vaccination first, and Fang Zi hasn't gotten it from Guitang yet. Take it here. It costs two or three pennies to get a pox vaccination, and measles can be prevented with a small amount of money. This thing can buy people's hearts, so it's not appropriate for Tang to do it."

"This is a great thing that can be seen and touched. It is good to be able to benefit the world." Empress Changsun frowned slightly, "But it is not appropriate to come directly, right? Wan Zimin, this is not a small income, there are newborns every year, if it is promoted, this will be a long-term business."

"Yes." Second Master Li also sighed, "Sometimes I also envy Cheng Yaojin, it's not a big deal to put this on him, he can directly grab the door! My skin is thicker than a city wall, but I can't do it!"
