To conduct such an experiment, it certainly cannot be done in the capital city.
If anything happens, it may become a major event that shakes the foundation of the country.
In order to take care of He Yunxi, the emperor assigned Lu Yan and asked him to take charge of this matter together with He Yunxi.
Since entering the Hanlin Academy, Lu Yan rarely does his job. He spends most of his time in the palace. A small part of the time, the Hanlin Academy is too lazy to assign him any work. He is asked to work with superior officials, and then he is asked to find it on his own.
Things to do.
Lu Yan was not idle either, taking a look at all the files and documents of the Hanlin Academy.
Others are envious and jealous of him, but they can only be envious and jealous.
Why do they not have the ability to win the favor of the emperor, nor do they have a wife who can be the county head?
I heard that it was his wife who discovered the smallpox incident this time, and it was his wife who proposed the measures to block the situation. Although she was not the one who carried it out in the end, considering these two points, the emperor would definitely not miss out on her reward.
Isn’t it the same reward given to He Yunxi by Lu Yan last time?
For the first time, all the sour scholars felt that it was a good thing for women not to stay in the backyard?
Did they think wrong before? Should women also be allowed out of the backyard?
Then they rejected their ideas. Not everyone can be as powerful as He Yunxi, who can do business and understand medicine.
Compared with knowledge, they are not as good as a young man under twenty years old.
In terms of ability, they are not as experienced as Lu Yan.
In terms of mentality, they couldn't be as calm as Lu Yan was when he was being ostracized in the Hanlin Academy.
Compared to the lady, they were killed instantly.
Everyone looked at Lu Yan and thought he would be autistic.
Fortunately, he is gone now and will not appear in the Hanlin Academy for several days.
…
Lu Yan had no idea what his colleagues were thinking. At this time, his attention was focused on the cowpox vaccination mentioned by He Yunxi.
If cowpox really had a preventive effect on smallpox, then half of the people in that northwest state city would not have died in a previous life.
He Yunxi was also very surprised when she saw Lu Yan. She did not expect that Emperor Wen of Jin would let him accompany her.
When he went to see her at the County Lord's Mansion last night, he didn't say he would come with her today.
Although he was alone in the county government's mansion in the past ten days, Lu Yan still came to see her several times. However, she did not let him enter the house and let him stand and chat in the yard outside.
Seeing his doubts, Lu Yan smiled and said, "The emperor just issued the decree this morning. I will follow you for the next few days."
"Okay, let's go together then." He Yunxi waved to him to get into the carriage.
Both of them had doubts in their hearts, but neither of them said it out loud.
When they arrived at a separate courtyard in the Imperial Village, He Yunxi and Gao Xiang went to see the found cows and asked about other preparations. After knowing that the prisoners and living supplies were ready, they went to rest.
He Yunxi did not go to rest, but went out alone with Lu Yan on the pretext of wanting to visit the Imperial Mansion.
The two came to the vast field and made sure there was no one around. Then He Yunxi asked: "Lu Yan, was there any smallpox in the capital in your previous life?"
"Yes. It is said that many people died. Two of the concubines in the palace died." Lu Yan said, "But this matter was suppressed. When I arrived in the capital, no one discussed it. I also
I only occasionally heard people mention it was one summer, but I never thought it would be this year. Fortunately, you discovered this matter, otherwise it would be like the tragedy of the previous life."
He Yunxi also knew that the time when Lu Yan came to the capital in this life was different from that in his previous life. He arrived in the capital a few years later, so he may not necessarily know what is going on in the capital now. For example, he was still ordered not to allow smallpox in his previous life.
As mentioned, someone like him who arrived in the capital later would really not know much.
She breathed a sigh of relief in her heart.
Since smallpox happened in the previous life, what happened this time is not a surprise.
She was afraid that such a thing had never happened in her previous life, and that such a thing had happened because she had traveled through time. Then she would feel sorry for the deceased.
He Yunxi solved the doubts in his heart, and it was Lu Yan's turn.
"Does the cowpox you mentioned really have a preventive effect on smallpox?"
"What's wrong?"
"There is a city in the northwest called Jinzhou. Smallpox broke out in a previous life. The governor at that time was afraid of affecting the outside world, so he sealed the city and did not allow people to go out. As a result, almost all the people in the city were infected with smallpox, and nearly half of them died.
"People." Lu Yan said, "It seems that it was not long after this incident, because the incident was too big at that time, so I was in Luohe Mansion and found out about it in my previous life. I remember it very clearly. It happened this winter."
He Yunxi's heart skipped a beat: "Nearly half of the people died?"
"Well. In the last life, this matter was probably known to the Xianwang Gongwang and others, and they publicized it widely. Because this summer's floods killed many people, and the smallpox in the northwest killed half of the people. The imperial court's position in the hearts of the people was in jeopardy.
"
"Sure enough, those troublemakers are indispensable everywhere." He Yunxi said, "Don't worry, cowpox really has a preventive effect on smallpox."
"Have people in your world ever been vaccinated against cowpox?"
"right."
"Even if medicine has advanced to our time, it is still unable to treat the smallpox virus. Later, people in one country discovered that milkmaids do not get smallpox, and thus discovered cowpox. The following superpowers took the lead in vaccinia, and it was also after a long process
Over time, the smallpox virus completely disappeared. By the time our group of people were born, there would be no smallpox virus in the world."
Hearing what He Yunxi said, Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as it's useful, that's fine.
"Does it mean that as long as you get vaccinated with cowpox, you won't get smallpox?"
"That's absolutely true. People who have planted it may also get smallpox, but at least not so many people will die, and the fatality rate will be greatly reduced." He Yunxi explained.
"That's pretty good too."
"Lu Yan, this experiment can be successful, but how can we tell the emperor to let people from Zhoucheng do the experiment first? And this smallpox must have a source. How did it spread in Jinzhou at that time? In your previous life, you
Did you hear that?”
Lu Yan shook his head: "The news that came out only said how tragic the situation in Jinzhou was, and did not say what caused it. If there was, we could have blocked it like we are doing now and stopped the spread early."
"Think about it, if it was really the two princes who were behind it at that time, then they definitely wouldn't pay attention to how it started. As long as the tragedy spread throughout the Liang Kingdom." He Yunxi sighed.
"Forget it, we'll talk about that later. The most urgent thing is to get the people of Jinzhou vaccinated with cowpox first. That way, even if there is really smallpox, not so many people will die."
However, as for how to tell the emperor to vaccinate the people of Jinzhou with cowpox first, Lu Yan couldn't think of a way.
After a while, He Yunxi's eyes lit up: "I have a solution!"
