Despite the efforts of top craftsmen like Yang Gui, the needles produced are still not comparable to those of later generations.
There is no way, the development of technology definitely needs to be improved step by step.
But even so, such a needle is enough for use.
It's a bit rough, but in this rough age, people are not that precious.
If you can survive, who can ask for too much?
The first batch of needles and syringes were quickly manufactured and shipped to North Korea, which greatly accelerated the speed of vaccination.
However, Lu An has different opinions on the use of these needles and syringes.
"These things are not easy to make, so how can they be easily discarded?"
Zuo Mengeng also had a reason.
"Everyone's body is different. If needles and syringes are reused, infection can easily occur. You may pass some disease to others, which is even more dangerous."
As a medical worker, Lu An naturally understands this statement.
She thought about it and insisted on her opinion.
"In that case, wouldn't it be better to carefully disinfect the used needles and syringes? It's not like I don't know how expensive these things are. It would be too wasteful to throw them away after using them once."
Zuo Mengeng couldn't help but be stunned.
He suddenly realized that what Lu An said was not unreasonable.
Due to technological issues, the manufacturing cost of needles and syringes is very high, and the output is extremely limited. In fact, it is completely unable to supply the needs for vaccinia vaccination.
And it is foreseeable that the emergence of this new type of medical tool will inevitably be widely used in the medical field in the future.
The more it is used, the higher the cost to the country.
Even though Xia State's current fiscal revenue is very considerable, there are many places where money is spent, and it is still quite urgent.
If these medical tools can be reused, this will undoubtedly greatly reduce costs.
So can it be reused?
If it can be carefully disinfected, it's not impossible.
The reason why later generations did not do this is because the production cost of needles and syringes is very cheap. If they are sterilized, it is more cost-effective to discard them directly.
In today's era, there are no such conditions, and limited resources can only be used to the maximum extent.
"You're right, then follow it. But you must strictly implement disinfection measures. If something goes wrong, you will be responsible."
Zuo Menggeng set the tone and finally got Lu An's smile.
She took out the syringe and took out the cowpox.
"I understand, His Highness King Xia. Now please show your arms and give us a demonstration."
A good product that can completely prevent and cure smallpox should be given priority to the most important people.
Therefore, starting from Zuo Menggeng, everyone in high-level positions must be vaccinated against cowpox.
Jin Sangxian and others were also summoned. They were all dumbfounded when they learned that there was a way to completely eliminate smallpox.
The Xia Kingdom is truly omnipotent and can even control terrible plagues.
This alone made them completely surrender and no longer dare to have any extra thoughts.
But when they saw Lu An taking out the needle, these traditional scholar-officials still turned pale with fear.
I don’t know what the white, sticky stuff in the needle tube is. It actually wants to enter the human body. Just thinking about it is very scary.
Lu An noticed their expressions and decided to let Zuo Mengeng set an example.
Even the more noble Zuo Mengeng accepted this method, so what reason could others have to refuse?
Zuo Menggeng naturally has no mental barriers when it comes to vaccination.
In front of everyone, he calmly took off his clothes and exposed his left arm to Lu An.
Lu An used cotton dipped in alcohol to sterilize it first, and then quickly inserted the needle. With just a gentle push, the vaccinia vaccination was completed.
Seeing that Zuo Menggeng's expression was calm during the whole process, and there was nothing unusual about it, Kim Sang-hyun and others calmed down a lot.
When Hou Xun, Li Banghua and other senior officials of the Xia Kingdom completed the vaccination one by one, it was their turn.
But when things really come to pass, these guys will inevitably become scared. You push me to blame, but you want others to come first.
Seeing how entangled they were, Zuo Mengeng didn't know how to complain.
"Your Highness worries about the world before you do it. Thousands of people will definitely feel this deeply. How lucky are we, the ministers of this country, to be able to follow Your Highness!"
Someone who was willing to follow Zuo Menggeng appeared, but the North Korean senior officials present were stunned.
Guanghaijun Li Huishan walked in and saluted Zuo Menggeng. Then he sat next to Lu An and completed the vaccination with cowpox.
While everyone in North Korea was being hit hard, Zuo Menggeng was generous in his praise for Gwanghaejun.
"Getting vaccinated against smallpox is a great thing that will be passed down from generation to generation. Mr. Gwanghae dares to be the first, which is really admirable. North Korea has a responsible person like you, why not worry?"
Every sentence and every word spoken by a politician is full of profound meaning.
Hearing Zuo Mengeng's words at this time, Jin Shangxian, Shen Qiyuan and others all panicked, and terrifying panic spread in their hearts.
"Your Highness, there is something hidden about the facts back then. I would like to ask Your Highness Rong Chen and others to tell you in detail."
They thought that Zuo Menggeng did not know the truth about Injo back then and was deceived by Gwanghaejun. Therefore, they wanted to tell the story quickly in order to save the situation.
But before they were allowed to speak, Lord Guanghai took the initiative to find them.
"Back then, I was arrogant and ignorant, forgetting the blessings of the Heavenly Kingdom. I also listened to the slanderous words of the treacherous villain, and I have just let down the noble hopes of you. It is really a grave sin for me. After your highness, King Xia, has taught me carefully, I have now repented. Here I am.
I would like to express my special apologies to you. From now on, I ask you to pay more attention to the affairs of North Korea and the well-being of all people for the sake of our ancestors."
Kim Sang-hyun and Shen Ji-yuan, the bitter rivals, looked at each other at this moment, both doubting their lives.
Lord Gwanghae, who was overthrown by their joint efforts and reduced to dust, actually apologized to them and took full responsibility for the year.
Especially from what he said, it seemed that he had no intention of regaining the throne.
What kind of trick is this?
"Guanghaijun..."
Zuo Mengeng spoke.
Everyone can only listen respectfully.
"When Korea was invaded by Japan and the country was about to be destroyed, you were alone, gathered the people's hearts, set up the flag of righteousness, and continued the Korean state. This was a great achievement. But after you succeeded to the throne, you used all means to eradicate dissidents, and many innocent people lost their families because of you.
?You have even forgotten the kindness of the Ming Dynasty in saving the country. You have both ends, and you are also guilty of ingratitude. All Korean righteous people uphold the right path, rise up, and overthrow you. This is an act of complying with public opinion and doing justice for heaven. All the things that happened in the past have already happened.
Are you convinced by the conclusion?"
Lord Gwanghae knelt down respectfully and bowed to the ground.
"The sinner knows the depth of his sin."
Zuo Mengeng was very satisfied with his attitude.
"What are your plans for the future?"
Gwanghae-kun didn’t even hesitate for a moment.
"As long as the guilty minister lives in the world, it will be difficult for all the sages to take it easy. Therefore, I sincerely ask for Your Highness's permission to honor the guilty minister to go to the Xia Kingdom and live out his remaining days as a commoner."
In front of everyone, Guanghaijun made a solemn statement.
He does not want to regain the throne, nor does he want to destroy North Korea's current situation.
He even begged to live in Xia Kingdom in order to reassure everyone.
All these things made Jin Sangxian, Shen Qiyuan and others confused and at a loss. For a moment, they couldn't think of any way to deal with it.
