Even though there are not many people infected with the epidemic now, half of the capital has almost been paralyzed.

Almost everyone stayed in the door, and the streets were depressed and cold.

Regarding smallpox, the legend that more than half of the deaths are passed down from generation to generation, even the major camps are now deserted.

Today, the capital of the Ming Dynasty is extremely fragile. Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao are fighting horses. On this street, looking at the withering of all industries, it seems that they have felt the horror of the epidemic.

The two arrived at the Meridian Gate and then entered the palace.

Liu Jian and others were sweating profusely in the warm chalet, and things were even more serious than they thought.

At present, even the government orders cannot be smooth.

Even if the emperor's will restrict all officials, what about the servants under the officials?

Even if the servants are timid, no matter what the matter is done, as long as they leave the ministry or yamen, they will immediately disappear, find a place and hide. At this time, who dares to show off everywhere?

As a result, the six departments almost stopped, and panic continued to breed and spread, making Liu Jian look as if he was dead.

Emperor Hongzhi lowered his head and listened to the retribution from Liu Jian.

He sighed: "No wonder they are. How can everyone ignore such a major matter of life and death? Even if it is me, aren't you afraid? The subjects are afraid of the smallpox like tigers... How can I blame me?" Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand: "Stop, there is no need to deal with it. All the impeachment reports will be kept."

Liu Jian smiled helplessly: "I obey the order. There is another report..."

Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyes and looked at Liu Jian.

Liu Jian said: "There are people in the Northern Tongzhou who claimed to be the White Lotus Sect. They suddenly rekindled and gave people talismans everywhere. They also said that after drinking the talismans, they would be sick and not invaded. There were many followers. There were tens of thousands of people gathered together. The government... the government... could not suppress it. In fact, they could not draw out the hands to suppress it. Tongzhou Guards... Tongzhou Guards are stationed in the suburbs of the city. It is said that there are also a large number of officers and soldiers who believe in this evil saying..."

Emperor Hongzhi frowned.

At this moment, he couldn't help but become cautious.

After a major disaster, there will be human disasters. Emperor Hongzhi is more alert and aware of this than anyone else.

When people are in despair, if a group of demons take this opportunity to give them hope, then... it will inevitably make countless desperate people believe in them.

At this time, the government and local officers and soldiers were unable to protect themselves, so they dared not to suppress them, and even... These terrible remarks may also make many military households who are infected and afraid of being infected believe in those demons.

Beitongzhou is just a short distance from Beijing. Smallpox will spread to the capital. Why don’t these evil words be misunderstood?

Emperor Hongzhi frowned: "Those demons, I didn't expect that they would be revived, but... aren't they afraid of smallpox?"

"Most of these people come from Jiangnan. Judging from the reports, most of them are in Jingchu. Your Majesty, four years ago, there was also a raging smallpox in Jingchu. I am wondering whether these demons are possible..."

Anyone knows that those who have been infected with smallpox once and still survive will not be infected with smallpox again. These people are born immunity. They can enter and exit Beitongzhou like entering and leaving Beitongzhou. The countless victims in Beitongzhou have long been like frightened birds. The appearance of these people undoubtedly gives many people great hope.

Emperor Hongzhi's face turned pale: "You are confused by evil words. Do you really think there is no king's law?"

"The problem now is that many local officers and soldiers colluded with them, but the officials from other places have already changed their face when they hear the smallpox. Even if His Majesty mobilizes them to Beitongzhou to quell the rebellion, they will be complaining. At that time, it may inspire the arrogance of the demon."

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but sigh: "Is this a place where I have lost my virtues and has triggered God's punishment?"

After he sighed.

But an eunuch came hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the prince and the commander Fang Jifan asked for a meeting."

When Emperor Hongzhi heard Fang Jifan's name, he felt a little sad and looked at Liu Jian.

"Please come in."

Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan had already walked into the hall quickly. Zhu Houzhao said with a smile: "My son has met his father."

Fang Jifan naturally politely: "My son has been..."

Emperor Hongzhi stared at Fang Jifan: "Jifan, didn't you say there was a way to cure smallpox?"

"Yes!" Fang Jifan decisively said: "The medicine has been brought. This is not a method to treat smallpox, but an epidemic prevention method. After vaccination, you will not be afraid of the harm of smallpox. Your son and the prince have both been vaccinated."

Zhu Houzhao seemed to be afraid that Emperor Hongzhi would not believe it, so she rolled up her sleeves and exposed his scabbed arms: "Father, look, my son has already had the smallpox. In Lao Fang's words, if he had this time, he would not be afraid of the smallpox."

After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but say, "Is it really effective?"

Fang Jifan said: "Whether it is effective? After Your Majesty is vaccinated, it is clear that I have asked all the students and all the farmers in Xishan to stand by. As long as Your Majesty gives orders, my son will order the people from Xishan and others to start vaccination in various streets and alleys immediately."

Emperor Hongzhi took a deep breath.

Liu Jian raised his eyebrows and showed joy: "Come on, try vaccinating me first. If it works, I will vaccinate you with your Majesty."

Zhu Houzhao said: "If you want to pick it up, just take it together. How can you tell me so much? If your son accepts it, then your father will accept it. Please rest assured that you will not die."

"..." Emperor Hongzhi was speechless. This guy is so heartless.

But Emperor Hongzhi was silent for only a moment: "Okay, Jifan, come."

Fang Jifan was not shy. Now he was racing against time. If His Majesty was infected with smallpox before vaccination, that would be a pitfall.

Therefore, he immediately took out the glass bottle he brought with him, took the long needle, and the long needle was dipped in the vaccine, so he asked Emperor Hongzhi to lift his clothes, sting his arm, and the long needle penetrated into Emperor Hongzhi's arm. Emperor Hongzhi frowned slightly.

Fang Jifan hated that there was no beautiful painting in this era. Otherwise, this great moment would have been frozen here and he would have completed a life achievement. After all, not everyone could stab the emperor with a needle.

Fang Jifan took the needle: "Okay."

"That's good?" Emperor Hongzhi frowned.

I originally thought that this must be a complicated process, after all... I am facing smallpox. Such a terrifying epidemic, would you just underestimate it?

Can it be done?

People always believe that complex things can solve complex problems, which has also enabled many doctors to learn to be mysterious and have to make trouble for things that can be solved in a short time. In this way, patients can feel at ease.

Fang Jifan said: "Okay, Your Majesty must observe at any time to see if acne can occur. If it is acne, the vaccine will be considered as. If not, my son will give it another shot."

Seeing Fang Jifan's conviction, Emperor Hongzhi was skeptical.

Fang Jifan looked at Liu Jian: "Do you want to give it a try?"

Liu Jian smiled bitterly: "Come on, come on, I will give it a try too."

Fang Jifan did not take out the needle immediately to prick it. He was a particular person. Unlike those quack doctors, Fang Jifan took out another bottle, which was filled with alcohol, soaked the long needle that had been pierced by His Majesty in alcohol, and then cleaned it again, holding the silver needle in his hand, and trying to prick it hard.

Liu Jian said oh.

Fang Jifan looked at Liu Jian like an idiot.

"Okay?" Liu Jian looked at Fang Jifan.

Fang Jifan said awkwardly: "Mr. Liu, you haven't started to prick it yet."

"..." Liu Jian was ashamed: "You should hurry up and don't be mysterious."

Fang Jifan took it seriously and slapdated it with one needle.

In the warm trunk, there was a howling like a pig slaughter.

It seems...people are more afraid of injections...

Fang Jifan collected the needle and said, "Let Your Majesty and Mr. Liu go to bed early and observe at any time just in case. The son and the prince are here to ask for the imperial edict this time. I hope your Majesty can issue an order and start large-scale acne immediately."

Emperor Hongzhi only hesitated a little, after all, the effect of this vaccine is still unknown.

But he did not hesitate: "I ordered Ouyang Qing's family to draw an edict to entrust all the epidemic prevention matters to Fang Qing's family."

...

The entire western mountain has begun to move around.

From the teacher who taught knowledge to the bottom miners and farmers, a few days ago, they had already been vaccinated with cowpox and had already started training on a large scale to apox.

The method is very simple. Even idiots can learn it. Soon, they began to appear in every corner of the capital, going from house to house, and starting to grow acne.

Xishan Academy has strong mobilization ability. Almost everyone set out with dry food. When they entered the house, they would explain endlessly about how to prevent and control smallpox. Then, under the skepticism of people, they took out cowpox bottles and alcohol bottles, and according to the method, they all had needles.

There are children's howling in the streets and alleys, and the crying is particularly loud.

At night, the tired people came back, and everyone brought the manual in their hands. The people who were edited recorded their names and had acne, which made them press their handprints. If they didn't have any, they would still have to search for them tomorrow.

In the chamber.

Liu Jin was sweating all over his body. Here, there was finally a person who had cowpox and began to take care of him. Liu Jin had a high fever. The high fever did not subside, his body was exhausted, and his headache was severe. He screamed, and his face was already covered with herpes, which seemed extremely terrifying.

The medical student who only took care of him discovered something terrible. According to the analysis of the disease compiled by the Western College, in addition to the above symptoms, smallpox will also experience appetite loss, but... this symptom did not appear at all in Liu Jin.

Liu Jin even rolled on the hospital bed, screaming: "I'm hungry, so hungry..." He seemed to be in a state of half fainting, and his mouth was vague: "My rice ball, my rice ball, and... the half radish in my bag, my radish, where did my radish go?"

The medical student was so scared that he opened Liu Jin's disease record and looked left and right, as if he had seen a ghost.

…………

besides.
