This is the sixth day, and Li Min still has four days to vaccinate the entire population of Chang'an with cowpox.
Therefore, he was also extremely busy at this time.
Standing next to him were the Minister of Hubu and Sun Simiao.
"The more than 10,000 cows we had before are not enough. We have to buy more. Otherwise, the whole of Chang'an may not be able to vaccinate in a short time! This must be done quickly. Try to outperform smallpox!"
Li Min said.
Smallpox in Anlefang has been brought under control.
However, there are also sporadic cases in other places.
If the entire population is immunized, then the virus will have nowhere to hide. There will be no need to quarantine people.
Smallpox will eventually be eradicated.
After Chang'an was completed, it was promoted to the entire Tang Dynasty.
This is why Li Min is so anxious.
Every extra day brings more unforeseen uncertainties, and he wants to eliminate all possible adverse effects.
"How much more?"
"At least 30,000 heads will do! If there are 50,000, that would be the best!"
After the previous cow got cowpox, it became too weak and was treated by Li Min.
They also recovered, and the role of these cows was equivalent to disappearing.
Had to sell them.
So, he had to add some more cattle.
Otherwise there will not be enough vaccines.
But the Minister of Household Affairs looked troubled.
"Mr. Zili, you can buy it, but the 800,000 taels have already been spent. I still need to ask Your Majesty for more money. I'm afraid it will take several days for the money to come out!"
There are still epidemics in other places. We need to vaccinate in a short time. I am afraid that it is not possible. Why not let Shengtang Group pay some in advance?"
The idea of Minister Tobe was so beautiful, but it also showed his sadness.
It’s already this time, why hasn’t Li Shimin delegated his power?
Is this guy really afraid that he will spend more of his money?
I really don’t believe in myself.
What about advance payment?
It's not impossible.
It just requires the Minister of Household Affairs to write an IOU.
After all, these are Li Shimin's affairs.
Shengtang Group cannot pay, he paid for emergency. The country is not his own, there is no reason for him to pay again and again, so that Li Shimin will be respected!
Therefore, he said: "Let's do this. Your household department will write the IOU, and I can pay the money! But I must pay it back within seven days."
The Minister of Hubu also understood that Li Min was right to say so.
After all, once the money is spent, it is equivalent to wasting money, and the country is not his.
He is not a prince, why?
His ability to take action was the greatest favor to Datang.
What more could you ask for?
However, the matter of issuing IOUs cannot be decided by the Minister of Household Affairs alone.
He said: "Well, I'll ask the minister about this! Go find it now! Soon! I'll be back soon!"
Li Min finally understood why it was not Shangshu of the Ministry of Finance who came to hand over the matter to him, in order to leave some room.
Li Min said: "He is serious, why do you let someone who can't make decisions come here!"
The person Li Min was referring to was Li Er.
The Minister of Household Affairs became more and more embarrassed as he listened. Li Min criticized his emperor in front of him, but he could not refute it.
Li Min believes that the faster the time is now, the better, but they are delaying it more and more.
This is the bloat of the organization.
If it were streamlined, there would be no need to go up level by level.
Ask for instructions to go up and come down again. One day is gone. Then go prepare money, find cattle, and transport the cattle to Chang'an City.
We also need to collect cowpox fluid and then inactivate it...
It takes a lot of time to go back and forth.
He simply didn't have time to wait for such a long time.
He wanted to solve this problem quickly, very quickly.
So I was very anxious myself.
"Mr. Zili, you can't help yourself even when you are a low-ranking official!"
The Minister of Hube said.
Sun Simiao said: "Then you go quickly, there is not much time!"
"yes!"
The Minister of Household Affairs said goodbye and left.
Watching the Minister of Household Affairs go out.
Li Min continued:
"Master Sun, there are millions of people in Chang'an City, and we can only vaccinate about a hundred people. Each of us has to vaccinate tens of thousands of people in a short period of time. I'm afraid it will be very hard! Do you have a way to vaccinate more people?"
Get involved?”
Next is the issue of vaccination, which is still serious.
It's not easy for Li Min to be in this position.
But he didn't back down.
For the Tang Dynasty, but also for my own future.
The civil and military officials in Anlefang spent a whole day just vaccinating the people in Anlefang.
The entire population of Chang'an City is probably dozens of times larger than the population of Anlefang.
If the same team is still vaccinated.
How many people can one person pick up in a day?
There are still four days left, which is simply not enough.
Sun Simiao said: "Regarding this, I have organized a hundred imperial doctors in the palace, plus 300 doctors and apprentices in Anlefang, and asked them to join together. There will be a total of more than 500 people. It should be possible in a few days
Vaccinate all the people in Chang’an City!”
"Five hundred people? Still not enough, a thousand people! Can you do it?"
The more people, the better. The sooner the entire population of Chang'an is vaccinated, the less likely there will be problems.
Now it's a race against the smallpox virus.
Sun Simiao looked troubled.
After all, these hundreds of people took him a lot of time.
"This... let me think of a solution!"
"If necessary, some people can be selected from Anlefang and let them vaccinate. Of course, they will be paid. I will give the money according to the standards of Shengtang Group employees. When the time comes, I will calculate it with the Minister of Household Affairs.
.You know better than me about choosing people."
Li Min said, there will definitely be no problem with Sun Simiao's selection.
"If that's the case, that's doable."
Compared with asking people to work for free, paid work is definitely more attractive.
"Good work!"
"This is what I should do! It's also for the people! Then I go prepare it first!"
Sun Simiao was about to go out when he bumped into the Minister of Household Affairs.
He almost fell.
If Li Min hadn't stepped forward to support him, Sun Simiao might have fallen.
"Master Sun, I'm sorry, didn't I hurt you?"
"Why are you so reckless?"
Li Min blamed.
The Minister of Household Affairs was completely embarrassed.
"Nothing's wrong, I'll go first!"
Sun Simiao expressed.
"Mr. Zili, something's happened!"
"Tell me! What's the matter?"
"The Duke of Wei and General Cheng are here, just north of Anlefang!"
Are Fang Xuanling and Cheng Yaojin looking for you?
Why did they come? What did they want to do?
"Let them in!"
Now Anlefang is a pure land.
In fact, restrictions can also be relaxed, but in order to prevent population movement, that will cause huge troubles for full vaccination, so he doesn't want to do it yet.
On the outside, it is still in an unpredictable state.
"yes!"
After the Minister of Household Affairs went out, he explained a few things and then went to the palace.
After a while, Fang Xuanling, Cheng Yaojin, and Wei Zheng walked in.
