Rise In Calradia

Even in Calradia, smallpox also exists, and its lethality is no weaker than their relatives in another world.

Since Byron came to Calradia, he can’t remember how many people he has seen with ugly spots like pockmarks on their faces, but they are lucky because they managed to survive when they had smallpox. Did not enter the grave early.

After the demise of the Kalad Empire, there has been a major retrogression in Kaladiya’s technology and knowledge. Fortunately, because of the books carried by those fleeing scholars and the lack of religious power, academic institutions once again became kings and lords after the fall of the empire. The situation of the advisory group reappeared, and many books on smelting, casting, agriculture, engineering and medicine have also been preserved. This makes Calradia's craftsmanship much better than contemporary Europe, and the medical conditions are far better. The broken Europa that lived through that dark age. But even so, infectious diseases such as smallpox and various major plagues have claimed too many lives. James once told Byron in smallpox that he had used to help the local lord to treat an infection when he traveled in the past. According to statistics, more than 30% of local young people died of smallpox, more than any disease he knew about except the large-scale plague.

Byron wants to promote the development of the territory, he also knows that his territory can carry more population, but various reasons limit the population growth, he must improve their living environment. Of course, Byron is not a pure utilitarian. He has the knowledge to treat smallpox. He hopes to change the current situation. He has the ability to save thousands of lives. He has no reason not to do that. The nobles can still take good care of their children after isolation, but the children of poor families can only be resigned to their fate. He often hears servants talking about a friend’s child who has smallpox, or someone’s child because Smallpox dies, and sometimes adults who have never had smallpox contract the disease, which is really terrifying.

And Byron is already engaged. He doesn't want his children to die from such a disease that he clearly has the ability to prevent after they are born. He never wants to see that scene.

"Vaccinia vaccination", this is the smallpox prevention method known by Byron. After long-term testing in his hometown, it is the most effective method against smallpox, and the technical threshold is very low, even if it is the current medical level, it lacks cryopreservation and disinfection. As a measure, you can also directly inoculate with fresh vaccinia concentrate. Although there are certain risks, it is better than direct smallpox.

Byron shared his thoughts with James, and said that it was a preventive measure in his hometown. Considering that the eastern region was indeed the hinterland of the Karad Empire, there was no trace of smallpox on Byron ( Byron is also very strange about this. He has accidentally contacted smallpox patients many times, but has never contracted the disease), this is obviously very convincing.

James summarized his peculiar method of the lord for a long time, and cites classics and real cases to discuss with him step by step this kind of pus from sick cows to people to get sick and fight against them. The strange medical technique of smallpox was discussed for a long time, and finally barely approved Byron's conjecture. James didn't want to kill people for the experiment, but he still said he would look for volunteers.

Byron also consulted Yatiman’s suggestion. He thought that this stubborn old-school scholar would dismiss this weird foreign therapy and everyone criticized it, but unexpectedly he agreed very simply, and he also told Bye. Lun, he supports this approach because there are indeed cases of acne vaccination in Calradia, but it is not popularized because of the high risk. He himself is the lucky one who survived the vaccination of acne, just because the symptoms are mild. There are no traces of smallpox. In his opinion, since the inoculation between humans is effective, it should be similar to that of animals. The reaction caused by cowpox is not a serious disease for humans. Since there have been successful cases in other places, you might as well give it a try. Besides, he felt that even if he failed, only a few poor children would die. Those children would have difficulty living to adulthood, and it would not be a big deal to die a few years earlier.

So the cowpox vaccination experiment began, but Byron was born late after all. In another world, smallpox had been wiped out for decades when he was born, so he didn’t know the specific measures, nor did he know the different measures before and after vaccination. Kind of precautions, these need to rely on long-term experiments to prove.

But fortunately and unfortunately, in this era, there are too many poor people who are willing to let their children try potentially fatal treatments, and many are willing to send the children he dislikes to the doctor for a few silver coins to test the medicine. There are counts. As a guarantee, it is really easy to find dozens of poor children in the countryside who have not yet survived smallpox to conduct experiments. James found a suitable cow, bought it at a low price, took pus from it, and vaccinated the children in different amounts and methods, and left them in an empty house near the castle to let them Contact a child who has smallpox and observe the situation.

Because of this experiment, James spent more than an hour confessing and praying for the children every night. He is a scholar, and his involvement in religious undertakings was actually out of academic persecution. He has a unique mind and is very bold. He has dealt with the bodies of many executed prisoners, but even so, when he might kill a group of children with his own hands, he is always there. They all endure the condemnation from their hearts.

Either it’s a history, or it’s stinking for thousands of years, but in any case, this is a test that may save countless lives. Someone must try it.

Byron gave the matter full power to James, and he provided funds, credit guarantees and knowledge support behind the scenes. James was very considerate of him and took the main responsibility. If he fails, the culpability lies in his not in Byron. If it succeeds, Byron will save the people before James. Byron was very moved and decided in his heart that when the experiment was successful, he would make James the biggest hero. uukanshu.com makes him admired by all people.

To be honest, although there are successful experiences in the hometown, it is different from being another world after all. Who knows the difference? Byron himself can't guarantee complete success, so he can only continue to observe the conditions of those children and prepare in advance to deal with the worst.

However, Byron still has a lot of things, and there are so many things he can do. While the experiment was being carried out, he also had a lot of ideas on how to make money, but in the end his eyes turned to the east, the sand in the distance. On the border of the sea, the city named Sharez has become a hub of east-west trade, transporting countless spices, jewelry, silk, incense, and various oriental treasures to all parts of Calradia. And this city is quite close to the Amira Fort, and there is only a Garmizi Fort in the middle, and Garmizi Fort is located in the southeast direction, which can be bypassed.

Byron knew that if this trade route could be opened, a large amount of highly profitable Eastern goods could pass through the desert through Amila, Salem, Fort Enward, Serendil, and then be transported to Veluga. . If it is the past, it has experienced two countries, and sometimes it even needs to take the way to Swadia. After a large number of lords continue to exploit it, its profits are greatly reduced. But now, these lands are either controlled by Byron, or belong to the Swadia lords who have a good relationship with Byron, and the surrounding areas of Veluga are also controlled by him. He has the final say on which commodities can enter the city, as long as you operate Properly, this trade route will bring him huge wealth, big enough to support his continual flow of ideas.
