Datang: Showdown, your father and I are Li Shimin

Chapter 21
"The first is that you need a large number of cows to infect them with smallpox."

As soon as Li Ze mentioned the first condition, Li Er quickly refused: "No, no! Cattle are an extremely precious resource, and doing so will cause too much loss, so this matter is definitely not acceptable!"

Li Ze was taken aback, and suddenly thought that in ancient times, cattle were the key to farming the land, and sometimes the lives of cattle were more valuable than human lives.

It is even illegal to kill a cow.

Li Ze immediately realized that Li Er thought that cows would die if they contracted smallpox, so he quickly explained: "Your Majesty misunderstood, I just said that this is the key to making vaccines, and I can guarantee that cows will not die, and even I can Guarantee, if these people who have been infected with smallpox are treated in time, they will not die."

Li Er was tangled, and Li Ze continued: "The tens of millions of people in the Tang Dynasty are not as good as a few cows? I don't need too many, just ten are enough."

The vaccinia vaccine was cultivated by the most traditional method. After confirming that it can be used, the virus was prepared to be cultured for inactivation, and then the method was fully extended to all state capitals. It was only a matter of time before smallpox was eradicated.

Hearing this, Li Er was a little tangled up. There were regulations in the Tang law that raising cattle had to be registered, and killing cattle had to be imprisoned. If a few cows were accidentally killed, would it be possible to watch his son go to jail?
One side is the common people, and the other side is Tang law.

Li Er was having a hard time making a decision, and walked around in circles with his hands behind his back: "Doctor Li is sure that smallpox is not harmful to cattle?"

"Naturally, it is harmless. As much as your Majesty gives me, I will pay back as much as you want. This official can not only treat people, but also animals. If there is a cow in the middle of giving birth, this official can also ensure that it is safe and sound." Li Ze said to himself His medical skills are naturally full of confidence. Before he healed Empress Changsun, he could treat anyone who was sick in this village.

As soon as Li Ze finished speaking, Li Er punched his palm with one hand: "Okay! Since Divine Doctor Li is sure, I should agree!"

"anything else?"

Li Ze let out a sigh of relief, because the next step is to expand the entire village.

Smallpox has now spread everywhere, and it will definitely not be completely eradicated in a while, and from Chang'an City to small border villages, there is more or less the risk of smallpox infection.

If all the people affected by the disaster are to be transferred to this village, food and medicinal materials are a major difficulty.

Li Er saw that Li Ze hadn't spoken for a long time, and the gloomy cloud on his face was uncertain, so he asked, "What's the problem with Dr. Li? You can tell me, as long as I can get rid of smallpox, I will use the power of the whole country to do it!" "

Li Ze smiled wryly when he heard this: "Maybe it really needs the power of His Majesty's whole country to get rid of this disaster."

Immediately afterwards, Li Zeyi informed Li Er of all his next plans: "This smallpox has just been discovered, and it has already spread to Chang'an City, and only a dozen of the hundreds of people in this small Du village have not been infected. , the speed of transmission can be imagined, and it is estimated that there are at least one million people affected by the disaster in Datang."

"The more dispersed these patients are, the easier they are to spread. Your Majesty must now seal off the official roads between various states and governments as soon as possible. All people's entry and exit must be strictly guarded. When the time comes, all affected people will be slowly relocated. Go to Du Village for intensive treatment."

Li Ze said and took a deep breath: "For this disaster relief, relief food funds need to be allocated to the affected areas. At the same time, the army will be stationed in various roads to collect food and grass, and the affected people will be transferred to Ducun. It is necessary to expand the scale of Ducun. We also need a large amount of food and medicinal herbs, which is undoubtedly a huge expense.”

After saying that, as Li Ze expected, Li Er grimaced as if he had hemorrhoids.

Datang has just been founded not long ago, so where did so many things come from.

Not to mention whether these material resources can be obtained, just expanding the scale of Du Village is a big problem.

Li Er supported his forehead with one hand, and put his other hand behind his back, pacing in front of Li Ze repeatedly.

"If your Majesty has any difficulties, you can tell your subordinates. Maybe your subordinates have ideas." Seeing Li Er's appearance, Li Ze was also a little anxious. It seemed that he had talked too much and frightened Li Er.

"To tell you the truth, the Tang Dynasty's national treasury has long been empty, and now there are internal and external troubles. In addition to various disasters in various places, other surrounding countries are already ready to move, and the only remaining arrears need to expand their armaments." Li Er let out a long cry. Long sighed: "Hey... If even the invasion of foreign enemies cannot be solved, so what if the internal turmoil subsides? In the end, they will be invaded by foreign tribes and die."

All troubles cannot be cured, so what about internal worries?

After hearing this, Li Ze immediately realized Li Er's difficulties. To put it bluntly, he was short of money and poor!

It is not yet the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, and both the army and the treasury are extremely tense.

Relocating these victims requires a large amount of food, and the army also needs all of this!
Just want to stay on the blade, this knife must be as sharp as possible, otherwise the foreign forces will take advantage of it.

Li Ze turned around a little in his mind, and opened the system panel at the same time.

In Li Ze's memory, corn and potatoes are very short in terms of yield and planting cycle, and they are simply magic tools for expanding food and grass.

But now, Li Ze urgently needs prestige to redeem it, so more patients must be treated to make these things effective.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to worry. Your Majesty has his own way to relieve His Majesty's worries, but we can't tell you right now." Li Ze's face was still brimming with confidence.

After all, with a cheat, everything can be solved as long as the prestige is high enough.

"His Majesty only needs to maintain the food rations of the victims in Du Village for the time being. There is no need for a large amount of food in the short term. To expand Du Village, these tasks will be left to the refugees."

After listening to Li Ze's words, Li Er really lost his appetite.

But my son said that he couldn't tell, and Li Er was not good, so he could only look around curiously, and then nodded slightly: "Well, since Doctor Li is sure, I will just do what you said .”

"However... I still hope that Dr. Li will not stay in the epidemic area. The victims... are very dangerous..."

Li Ze naturally knew what Li Er meant. The disaster victims were almost the same as the mob.

Once a disaster strikes and the basic life of the people cannot be guaranteed, riots will be launched.

From ancient times to the present, the demise of every dynasty is basically linked to disasters.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the lower officials naturally have ways of restraining themselves. The ancients are good at doctors, go to the doctor to treat the country, Chinese medicine to treat the people, and go to the doctor to treat the sick, and the doctor is also a solid medical officer." Li Ze cupped his hands slightly towards Li Er, Then he continued: "Your Majesty, let's go back to the palace. I will deal with the smallpox disaster properly. I still have things to do, so I can't send you away!"

After finishing speaking, Li Ze bowed deeply to Li Eryi, then walked towards the medical hall with heavy steps.

Behind him, Li Er muttered and repeated: "Go to the doctor to treat the country, Chinese medicine to treat the people, and go to the doctor to treat the sick... Good! Good! As my eldest son, with such ambition, he should be born to be the king of a country." !"

On the other side, just as Li Ze returned to the clinic, several village names suddenly rushed to the door with a large group of people covered in acne: "Master Li... a group of refugees from other places came to our village, how should we deal with them? "
