Datang: Showdown, your father and I are Li Shimin

Chapter 36 Race against smallpox

The disaster area, Du Village.

"Master Li, how will this batch of relief food be distributed? If the village follows the way it did before, I'm afraid it will bottom out within seven days." The village chief came to the medical center immediately.

It is obviously very difficult to provide daily meals for more than [-] people with the food allocated by the imperial court this time.

To feed these 10 people every day, the food here may not last even a week.

Li Ze rubbed his chin, looking at the piled up big bags from a distance in the village.

"Changed two meals a day into three meals, cooking only porridge in the morning and evening, and cooking cakes at noon. Small meals are the same inside and outside the village. I don't know when the next time the court will allocate food. At this time, we must save, otherwise we will not wait. Next time, we'll all starve to death here."

After all, Li Ze ordered people to drag the herbs to the medical clinic. The seriously ill patients who hadn't tasted the soup for a few days, when they asked about the smell of the decoction, they all looked in the direction of the smell of the medicine.

"Have the food and medicinal materials allocated by the imperial court arrived?" The weak woman lying on the hospital bed turned her head and saw several dark figures busy between the cracks of the door.

Li Ze stood solemnly under the thatched shed that had just been built, and looked around.

At this time, smallpox patients were densely packed around the entire medical hall, and more than 120 critically ill patients were lying here.

There is no specific medicine for smallpox, and it is extremely difficult to prescribe the right medicine.

The drug that can completely cure smallpox must be produced as soon as possible, and it can be taken internally and externally, otherwise no amount of medicinal materials will be consumed.

For more than [-] critically ill patients, it may be difficult to hang their lives by relying on these common medicinal materials.

If there is a special medicine that can treat smallpox in the previous life, I can make the corresponding Chinese medicine version according to the formula of the special medicine in the previous life and use the same ingredients contained in the Chinese medicinal materials.

But the problem is that smallpox, even in later generations, does not have any highly credible specific medicine.

The only few credible prescriptions are just scratching the surface and not of much use.

Nowadays, it is necessary to create a prescription for smallpox by oneself.

Throughout the ages, creating something out of nothing is the most difficult, but fortunately, there are enough cases, and it is not easy to cure people to death with traditional Chinese medicine. Coupled with the system, it should not be difficult to create a special medicine that can cure smallpox.

Thinking of this, Li Ze turned around and burrowed into the pharmacy of the medical center. Looking at the huge medicine cabinet much taller than himself, Li Ze had a thought and called up the system panel.

I have mastered the lifelong learning of all doctors in China for 5000 years.

There should be no problem in developing a specific drug for treating smallpox.

This is like Bian Que, Hua Tuo, Sun Simiao, Li Shizhen, Zhang Zhongjing, Ge Hong, Huang Fumi, Zhu Danxi, Ye Tianshi and countless other ancient genius doctors who consulted together.

A large list of names of Chinese herbal medicines kept appearing in Li Ze's mind.

Licorice, dandelion, forsythia, rehmannia, cassia...

Cimicifuga, peony, kudzu root, northern ginseng, Radix Ophiopogon...

One after another, they were swirling in Li Ze's mind.

Immediately afterwards, Li Ze closed his eyes tightly, held a pen in one hand, and densely wrote three completely different prescriptions on several sheets of cloth on the desk.

After a long time, Li Ze just opened his eyes and verified these three completely different prescriptions again and again.

After several thousand years of consultations with all famous doctors, three completely different results were obtained after their own summary.

Li Ze came out with the prescription in his hand, looked at more than a hundred patients and the prescriptions in their hands, and suddenly crouched on the ground: "This smallpox, since ancient times, there has been no prescription that can cure it with one dose. Now I have developed it myself. There are three different prescriptions, and now we need to try the effect, is anyone willing to try the effect of this prescription?"

Li Ze looked around. Among the more than [-] critically ill patients here, more than [-] are from the same village as Li Ze.

Naturally, they trust his medical skills very much, and many people raised their hands with difficulty: "If it wasn't for Dr. Li, we would have to wait for death. Now it is Dr. Li who saved our lives. If we can cure smallpox For the prescription, I will take it as a great contribution, so I am willing to do so!"

As the man's voice fell, many people from all over the place raised their hands.

Although they were equally pale, with parched lips, and equally frail and pimple-ridden.

But each of them had a resolute light in their eyes.

A strange man lying not far from Li Ze's face was suddenly agitated, and he firmly held up his skinny arms and said, "I was originally a disaster victim who fled from Jinzhou, and I waited hard outside Chang'an City. For a few days, the water and rice hadn't come in at all. If it wasn't for Dr. Li to take us in, we would have already become corpses on the side of the road. If there is any prescription, just use it on me. No matter what the result is, I will thank Dr. Li first. "

"I'm also willing to cooperate with Miracle Doctor Li! If it wasn't for Miracle Doctor Li to take us in, we would have already become rotting corpses."

"Even though Miracle Doctor Li came to try, he would die at worst. Anyway, he had smallpox, so he didn't think he would have much chance of surviving!"

"Yes! This big brother is right. Doctor Li has superb medical skills. No matter what the result is, just let Doctor Li try!"

The surrounding people began to join in, and Li Ze looked at each bed with a solemn expression.

Almost everyone raised their hands, some had fainted, and some had no strength to raise their hands.

"Okay! I, Li, will never betray the trust of everyone, and I will defeat this smallpox!" Li Ze firmly grasped the prescription, and saluted everyone with fists.

After finishing speaking, Li Ze turned around and entered the prescription, and made out all kinds of medicinal materials in the third part of the prescription with a nickname.

Or decoction, or smoked, or smeared, or applied externally.

After finishing his work, Li Ze then went to the home of the people who had received the first batch of cowpox.

"Miraculous doctor Li! Miracle doctor Li, you are finally here!" The villagers saw the figure carrying the medicine box from a distance.

Li Ze stepped forward to carefully observe the acne on the villagers' faces: "How do you feel? Do you have back pain, fatigue, heart palpitations, fever or chest tightness?"

The man closed his eyes and shook his head repeatedly: "I don't feel anything other than itching.

After watching and hearing about it, Li Ze came to other villagers' homes again.

There is still only some itching, some of which are some muscle soreness and nausea.

None had severe fever and skin inflammation.

After visiting the villagers who had been vaccinated for the first time, Li Ze casually sat on a big rock at the edge of the village and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"It seems... the vaccine is going to succeed!"

Li Ze looked at the densely packed beds outside the medical center at the east end of the village from a distance. After taking a few breaths, he came to the cowshed at the end of the village again.

Now that the vaccinia has occurred this time, it means that the vaccinia on the first cow in the village is enough to produce a vaccine. What we need to do now is to spread the virus from this cow to the dozen or so cows that have just been transported.

Smallpox and vaccinia are both infectious diseases, it depends on which one runs faster!
