The New Year passed quickly, and the imperial court immediately entered high speed.
The first action was not enfeoffment, nor plans such as imperial examinations, but smallpox vaccination.
In the morning meeting, Li Shimin personally announced in front of everyone: "After half a year of preparation, the imperial court has prepared enough smallpox vaccine."
"And we have prepared enough raw materials and energy to continuously produce vaccines, which is enough to meet the demand for vaccination. I have decided to vaccinate the whole country from now on, starting from Guanzhong and Chang'an..."
In fact, almost all officials in North Korea and China have been vaccinated against smallpox. Knowing that this stuff is real, they can't wait to vaccinate their families.
At this time, when the emperor said that all people could be vaccinated, they were naturally very excited and shouted in unison: "The saint is wise."
This news spread throughout Chang'an City as quickly as possible, and the people who were looking forward to it also shouted long live.
The imperial court had already prepared a complete vaccination plan, and trained medical teams were deployed directly on the streets. There was a medical team in every square and street to facilitate the people to get vaccinated nearby.
There happens to be one at the entrance of Zixiao Temple. Naturally, the people inside the temple have some small privileges and can be vaccinated first.
The leaders of many sects who came to the meeting also helped Guang, saving him a lot of trouble.
Chen Jingke, Wu Shu and other senior Taoist officials had already been vaccinated, but they still ran outside to watch the excitement.
There are three people in the medical team, and their tools are very simple. They only have a medicine box. In addition to sterilizing alcohol and bottles of cowpox solution, there is only a knife for cutting wounds.
But in order to protect them, the imperial court sent a five-man squad of forbidden troops.
In front of the medical team is an aisle built with wooden slats, which is only one person wide. If you want to be vaccinated, you have to queue up. The wooden slats are to prevent people from jumping in line.
Wu Shu smiled and said: "This wooden bar is what you thought of at first glance."
Chen Jingke said proudly: "Hey, that's not all. I made the entire vaccination plan. They just made some minor adjustments based on my plan."
Wu Shu said amusedly: "Yes, our real person is the most powerful."
This plan was really his. Vaccination is not that simple. A large-scale public event like this can easily lead to big trouble if not done right.
People in the Tang Dynasty did not have similar experience, but he did. In his previous life... I won't go into details. Anyway, he had seen too much, so he made a detailed implementation plan.
This plan was highly praised by Li Shimin and others, and has been issued as a standard to officials in various places, requiring them to study it.
If similar incidents occur in the future, you can follow this method to deal with them.
After watching for a while, Wu Shu asked doubtfully: "Why not write down the names of those who have been vaccinated? Aren't you afraid that someone will be vaccinated a second time?"
Chen Jingke laughed and said: If you can ask this question, it means you don't understand medical skills. As the great steward of Zixiaoguan, this is not acceptable."
Wu Shu rolled his eyes at him and said in a disgusted voice: "Isn't there a real person here like you? There's no need for a little girl like me to worry about you."
After joking for a while, Chen Jingke explained: "If there are tens of millions of people in the country, if they register one by one and check who has been vaccinated, it will be too inefficient. I am afraid that the vaccination work will not be completed in ten years."
"One vaccination of smallpox vaccine is valid for life. It doesn't matter even if someone is vaccinated twice or three times. At most, it will just waste a little liquid, so there is no need to register."
Wu Shu nodded and said: "I see. Fortunately, repeated vaccinations with smallpox vaccine will not cause any problem, otherwise it would be really difficult."
Chen Jingke said: "There is nothing difficult to do. Anyone who doesn't listen and comes to take advantage deserves to die."
Wu Shu looked at him in surprise, this was completely inconsistent with his previous character.
Chen Jingke smiled and said: "Isn't it strange, why don't I sympathize with these people?"
Wu Shudao: "This is really not in line with your character."
Chen Jingke looked at the crowd and said: "Good words can't persuade a damned ghost. I never sympathize with people who seek death."
But Wu Shu laughed and said, "That's good. I'm really afraid that you'll be a good person indiscriminately."
Chen Jingke is certainly not a good person. As mentioned just now, he never sympathizes with people seeking death.
In his previous life, he had seen too many suicide videos on the Internet. He watched them all with great interest and even applauded them.
What? Compassion? The dead are the most important?
Those who seek death are not worthy.
He wished that all these people would die and the world would be peaceful.
A comprehensive plan was formulated from the beginning, and the vaccination work was carried out smoothly. Hundreds of thousands of people in Chang'an City received smallpox vaccination in an orderly manner.
In addition to the civilian population, the military is naturally also a priority for vaccination.
In order to ensure that the army's combat effectiveness was not affected, the Sixteenth Guards Imperial Army was vaccinated in batches, one guard at a time.
Qianqi is naturally among the first to be vaccinated, and can even be said to be the first batch of vaccinated troops.
On the day of vaccination, Lieutenant Chen Jingke was naturally present. Would you like to express his willingness to share the joys and sorrows with everyone?
After several months of recruit training, Qianqi gradually became the same as Baiqi. Everyone was literate and familiar with Chinese history.
It would be an exaggeration to say how deep the research is, but at least I can count from Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors to the Sui Dynasty, which is already more than most people of the same generation.
The effect is also very obvious, the sense of civilized honor and identity has skyrocketed.
When they have a sense of cultural identity and in turn develop feelings for their family and country, they will get twice the result with half the effort.
The most shocked people were Li Xiaoyi and Wang Fangyi. For the first time, they knew that it was possible to train the army in this way to unite people's hearts.
Not to mention ordinary soldiers, even the two of them were affected, and many previously hazy thoughts gradually became clear.
It turns out that China is like this, it turns out that dying for a civilized race is what a man should do...
They finally understood why the emperor specially formed Qianqi for experiments. Once this new way of training soldiers is successful, its influence will be too huge.
Chen Jingke stayed here until the afternoon. When he was about to leave, Jing Hengyan came over and said quietly:
"Captain, your second brother-in-law is still here with me. I feel like he is more like a human being now. How about you meet him?"
Chen Jingke slapped his forehead and said: "Oh, why did you forget about him... You are the same, why are you reminding me now."
Jing Hengyan said aggrievedly: "I told you several times before, and you told me to train hard and not to bother you all the time with his affairs, so I didn't dare to say it anymore."
Chen Jingke said: "Okay, okay, my fault has nothing to do with you. Go call him over and let me see how he looks like now."
Jing Hengyan said quickly: "He's right outside. I'll ask him to come in."
After saying that, he went outside the account. Wu Yuanshuang walked in after a while and said respectfully: "See you, Captain."
Chen Jingke said nothing and looked at his second brother-in-law up and down.
It is indeed different from before, the skin has become darker and the tendons all over, and the person looks much sunnier.
His eyes were also very calm, with no trace of hatred anymore, as if he had completely forgotten all the previous unhappiness.
The more he behaves like this, the more Chen Jingke understands that he has not forgotten his hatred, but has just learned to hide it.
So he shook his head and said: "You really don't have a long memory. It seems that you still haven't reflected enough, so just continue to stay down there."
After hearing these words, Wu Yuanshuang's expression finally changed, and he stared at Chen Jingke angrily, as if he wanted to eat him.
Chen Jingke smiled and said: "Sure enough, you still don't feel any regret for what you did back then. You just hate why you ended up like this today."
"Then let me tell you, you are like this because of yourself, and you deserve it. Do you think your punishment is over?"
"No, as long as you don't repent from the bottom of your heart for what you have done and don't realize your mistakes for a day, the punishment will continue."
Wu Yuanshuang stared at him fiercely and said nothing.
Chen Jingke thought to himself: "Qianqi will be on the battlefield soon. No one wants instability in their army, and I am the same."
"I will look for opportunities to eliminate this unstable factor so that Qianqi can set off without any worries. As for how to eliminate it, there are many ways."
"I would prefer to use the enemy's hands to cut him off, so as to avoid telling the truth. What do you think?"
Wu Yuanshuang finally couldn't stand it any longer and roared angrily: "What do you want from me? Repent? Why should I repent? She didn't give birth to me and raise me, and she took away my mother's position. Why should I respect her?"
?”
Chen Jingke nodded and said: "What you said makes sense. From this point of view, you are indeed qualified to hate her. But compared to her, you should hate your father more."
"My mother-in-law has been fasting and reciting the Buddha's name for forty years and vowed to serve the Buddha with her body. It was your father who disturbed her state of mind and disturbed her purification. Why, I didn't dare to blame your father, but instead blamed her?"
Wu Yuanshuang's face looked a little unnatural, and he paused before saying: "That was a marriage granted by the late emperor, and there is nothing my father can do about it."
"Haha..." Chen Jingke held his stomach and laughed so hard that he couldn't stand up and said, "It's funny, it's so funny."
Wu Yuanshuang said angrily: "There's something funny about it, isn't it?"
Chen Jingke shook his head and said, "I don't care what your family's background is. In the eyes of the powerful, you are just a nouveau riche. Who takes you seriously?"
"If your father hadn't married your mother-in-law, would your family be qualified to be among the rich and powerful just because of your virtues? Your family was recognized by the rich and powerful only because of your marriage to the Yang family, and now you have turned your back and won't recognize it?"
"Why don't you dare to refuse the marriage offered by the late Emperor? I'm afraid your father wouldn't have the shame to say this even after he crawled out of the coffin, right?"
With the fig leaf being torn off and his father being humiliated, Wu Yuanshuang's eyes turned red with anger: "I'll kill you."
After saying that, he touched his waist, but unfortunately his knife was taken away when he came in. He couldn't find the weapon, so he raised his fist and smashed it.
Chen Jingke just stood there motionless, seeming to be frightened.
However, when his fist was still half a foot away from him, he stopped on his own. Wu Yuanshuang glared at him, clenching his fist but not daring to bring it down.
Chen Jingke breathed a sigh of relief, but with a disappointed look on his face, he said: "Hey, it's really disappointing, but congratulations on saving your life."
If an ordinary soldier dares to beat the captain, he will really be impatient.
Hearing this, Wu Yuanshuang shrank like a deflated balloon.
Chen Jingke knew that the last breath in his heart had been worn away, so he did not continue to stimulate him, but asked:
"Tell me, why do you hate your mother-in-law and Shu'er so much? To be honest, you know you can't deceive me."
Wu Yuanshuang said in despair: "She wants to drive my brother and I out of the house and let her son inherit the title and family business."
Chen Jingke said speechlessly: "Does she have a son?"
Wu Yuanshuang said: "That's because she didn't give birth to a son. If she had given birth to a son, there would be no way for our brothers to survive."
Chen Jingke laughed angrily and said: "I suspected that you wanted to assassinate the saint. Now I drag you out and chop you up. By the way, your three clans will also be wiped out. What do you think?"
Wu Yuanshuang argued: "How can this be the same? I..."
Chen Jingke interrupted him and said, "It's all unfounded. What's the difference? You are a Qianqi, and you still have weapons in your hands. There are many opportunities."
Wu Yuanshuang stopped talking.
Chen Jingke continued to ask: "You can't have such an idea out of thin air. You must have heard something, or someone told you something. Please tell me what the situation was."
After a long time, Wu Yuanshuang said: "Wu Weiliang and Wu Huaiyun told me that they had heard her say such things with their own ears."
Chen Jingke thought that this was indeed the case, and the situation was similar to what Wu Shu told: "What is the relationship between Wu Weiliang, Wu Huaiyun and their mother-in-law?"
Wu Yuanshuang replied: "No, the two of them committed a crime..."
The more he spoke, the softer his voice became, and finally became inaudible.
A smile appeared on Chen Jingke's lips and he said: "With your brain, you should have thought of such a simple truth a long time ago, but why do you still do it? There is only one reason. You don't want to deliberately make mistakes. I'm not wrong, right?
.”
Wu Yuanshuang lowered his head and said nothing.
Chen Jingke continued: "Wu Weiliang, Wu Huaiyun must have used such words to deceive your brother. Do you think your brother has done anything?"
Wu Yuanshuang said: "But brother didn't stop me."
Chen Jingke asked: "Did you really not stop it? Think about it again."
Wu Yuanshuang stopped talking again.
Chen Jingke said: "He tried to stop you, but you just went your own way and didn't listen. In order to maintain your brotherhood, he had to turn a blind eye. Am I wrong?"
Wu Yuanshuang remained silent.
Chen Jingke asked further: "So I really want to know why you hate your mother-in-law so much. You know that those two people are lying to you, but you still insist on driving them out of the house."
After a long time, Wu Yuanshuang raised his head and said with a ferocious expression: "Because she is nosy, she will keep an eye on whatever I do."
"She's not my biological mother, so why should she care about me? She dares to meddle in her own business. Isn't it natural for me to retaliate against her?"
Chen Jingke didn't expect this answer. He shook his head helplessly and said: "You are such a hopeless person. I don't even want to say another word to you. Get out of here."
Wu Yuanshuang wanted to leave, but he raised and lowered his legs. There was a look of struggle in his eyes, and after a while he said: "I know I am too narrow-minded... help me say sorry to the second sister and the third sister."
After saying that, he turned around and left the tent as if running away.
