Princess, he is rich enough to rival the country

The daughter of the family that Xingren was talking about died of chickenpox on her front foot, and Qin Lu contracted smallpox on her back foot. How can there be such a coincidence in this world?

Gu Yanshu has seen too many coincidences, especially after the apocalypse, many conspiracies and tricks were finally covered up by the word "coincidence".

Therefore, for Gu Yanshu, the most unbelievable thing in this world is "coincidence".

Now after listening to Xingren's description, Gu Yanshu sensed something was wrong:

"If it's too coincidental, it's deliberate. Go check it out."

"Yes!"

Xingren was originally guilty of Qin Lu's infection with smallpox, but now he heard Gu Yanshu's order, he answered without thinking.

Turning around, he was ready to investigate the family he met in Yanglin County.

In the end, before he could take two steps, he was called back by Gu Yanshu:

"You come back, Zhi Ge go."

"princess?"

Xingren looked at Gu Yanshu in astonishment, feeling a little guilty.

The concubine never asked who was going to complete the order before, but now she specifically pointed at Zhi Ge, does it mean that the concubine has already...

"With your current appearance, the most important thing is to take a good rest for a while. Don't fall ill when the prince is well."

Gu Yanshu could see what Xingren was thinking at a glance, sighed slightly, and gave a rare explanation:

"Besides, just on the way here, the magistrate of Yizhou said that the epidemic situation in Yanglin County is serious. To investigate this matter, it is necessary to go to Yanglin County for a visit. You have not been vaccinated. If you go to Yanglin County now, you will be easily infected. "

"Yes, thank you Princess for your compassion."

Xingren originally wanted to say that he didn't need to rest, but after hearing Gu Yanshu mention the cowpox, he swallowed back the words that came to his lips.

After all, Xingren did not forget the rhetoric that the imperial doctors used when he refused him when he asked for vaccinia.

Xingren immediately understood: the sooner he cultivates his body well, the sooner he is vaccinated against smallpox, the sooner he will be free from the worries of being infected by smallpox, the better he can serve the prince and princess.

Here, Zhige also stepped forward and patted Xingren on the shoulder, telling him to go back and rest for a couple of days, and leave the rest to him, so he took people directly to Yanglin County.

Although Gu Yanshu was very certain that vaccination with vaccinia could prevent smallpox infection, but with a rigorous and responsible attitude, the imperial physicians still did not give a conclusion at the first time, but decided to experiment and observe first.

Before that, those who had close contact with Qin Lu, like Gu Yanshu and Yu Liren, were also taken isolation measures and were not allowed to leave the house where Qin Lu lived.

Regarding this point, Gu Yanshu did not have any dissatisfaction.

Even if the imperial physician did not make such a request, Gu Yanshu had no intention of leaving before Qin Lu recovered.

It was the first time he saw his fawn in such a weak state, how could he feel at ease if he didn't witness the improvement with his own eyes?

I don't know whether it's because Qin Lu's immunity is strong enough, or because he has an unprecedented desire to survive after seeing Gu Yanshu.

Since Gu Yanshu handed it over to Yizhou, Qin Lu's condition has improved day by day.

The head of the spirit is getting better every day, and the time of waking up is getting more and more day by day. Even the abscess and herpes on the body have gradually begun to scab and fall off, and new pink flesh has grown.

The imperial physicians also acted quickly, and within a few days, they confirmed the fact that vaccination with vaccinia could indeed effectively prevent smallpox infection.

Not only that, during this period of time, the imperial physicians also improved the vaccinia vaccine several times according to the method provided by Gu Yanshu.

Compared with Gu Yanshu's simple and rude method of directly using vaccinia pus, the safety of vaccinating against vaccinia has improved several steps.

Immediately after the news came out, Xingren brought his subordinates to the imperial physician and asked for vaccination.

This time, the imperial physician did not refuse Xingren again.

Not only because the vaccinia vaccine has improved a lot, but also because the news that Qin Lu's health is getting better day by day since Gu Yanshu arrived, and Xingren's spirit is much better than before.

Compared with when he was in the capital, now Xingren has lost several laps of weight, but he doesn't have the precarious appearance that he would fall when the wind blows.

While Xingren and others were vaccinating, Gu Yanshu did not forget to let the governor of Yizhou announce to the people in Yizhou that the vaccinia vaccine can prevent smallpox infection.

Since Qin Lu's diagnosis, in order to prevent the spread of the epidemic, Yizhou has already entered a state where the gates of the city are locked and no entry is allowed.

Although now it is not as dependent on trade as later generations, and the people in each city can almost be self-sufficient, but it is not a long time to lock the city gates like this.

If things go on like this, it will not only bring a devastating blow to the merchants in Yizhou, but also bring a sense of oppression of not being free to the hearts of the people.

Now Gu Yanshu can clearly feel the dead silence in the air in Yizhou. If he can't guide it in time, Yizhou may become a crime-prone area.

Not to mention that it is now approaching midsummer, after summer is autumn, autumn is not only the harvest season, but also the beginning of autumn.

This year is another three-year hall election. If Yizhou's city gates are still locked when autumn comes, students in Yizhou will have to wait another three years.

Three years after three years, for the students rushing to take the exam, how many more years can they wait?

It is imperative to vaccinate all the staff, open the city gate as soon as possible, and restore the exchanges between Yizhou and other regions.

Now tell the people the news of the vaccinia vaccine, and the early vaccination will open the city gate as soon as possible, which is also a good thing for the people of Yizhou.

The guards in Prince Li's mansion and the imperial army sent by the emperor accepted the vaccinia vaccine too quickly, so Gu Yanshu once had a wrong perception, thinking that the people in Tianqi would not accept the vaccinia vaccine at a low level.

But when the magistrate of Yizhou actually announced the news of the vaccinia vaccine, Gu Yanshu discovered that things were not as simple as he imagined.

Yizhou is not a capital city, and there is no such authority as "Kyoto Daily" in Yizhou, which can guide the people to protest.

Coupled with the fact that the city gates are locked these days, the depression and resistance in the hearts of the people have reached their peak.

Now as soon as the news of the vaccinia vaccine spread, rumors spread everywhere in the city, and there were all kinds of rumors.

It is said that the vaccinia vaccine is immature, and the imperial court just wanted to use them for experiments.

It is also said that the vaccinia vaccine is not used to prevent smallpox at all, but to prevent smallpox. The imperial court wanted to kill all the people in Yizhou directly, so as to prevent future troubles forever.

Also, since the vaccinia vaccine is so miraculous and can prevent smallpox, how could His Royal Highness Li Wang be infected with smallpox because of such a noble status?

……

No matter what it says, there is only one central idea:

Refuse to vaccinate against vaccinia!

Of course, there are also people who trust the imperial court, saying that they believe that the vaccinia vaccine can indeed prevent smallpox, but they still need to observe first.

Wait until other people get vaccinated first and make sure there is no problem before they go to vaccinate.

Once these remarks came out, the imperial physicians were very angry:

What do these people mean?

Still experimenting with them?

Among the guards in Prince Li's mansion, including Princess Li, which one hadn't been vaccinated as soon as the vaccinia vaccine was extracted?

How can it be their turn to do experiments?

What's even more ridiculous is that the vaccinia vaccine is unique.

If the imperial court really wanted to kill the entire Yizhou city to prevent future troubles, would the emperor need to send most of the imperial doctors from the imperial hospital?

Wouldn't it be faster to directly issue a secret decree to massacre the city?

Of course, no one dared to say the latter sentence.

After all, the massacre of the city hurt the peace of heaven. Even Tianqi, which has been in war all year round, has only had one massacre of the city in its century-old history. This is still an old thing.

It is really shocking to massacre the city because of smallpox.

Compared with the panic of the imperial doctors, Gu Yanshu was much calmer, and even felt that the reaction of the people in Yizhou was the correct way to open it up:

"Since the common people don't trust the vaccinia vaccine, let the people in the government get the vaccine first."

Hearing Gu Yanshu's voice, the imperial physicians also ignored the rumors of condemning the people of Yizhou, and looked at Gu Yanshu one after another:

"I hope the princess will make it clear."

"Nowadays, the government needs to always pay attention to the situation in Yanglin County. It is easy to be infected when going in and out. First, vaccinate these people. First, it can ensure their safety. Second, it can also set an example for the people and dispel the epidemic. Doubts in everyone's mind."

Gu Yanshu knocked on the table with a flat and calm tone.

People's resistance to vaccinia vaccine is mostly people's instinctive reaction to unknown things.

From Xingren's report, it is not difficult to see that many of them are willing to trust the government and vaccinate, but they hope that someone can take the lead.

Allowing the people from the government to get vaccinated first can not only dispel all kinds of rumors related to the vaccinia vaccine in the city, but also drive people who believe in the government to get vaccinated first.

People have a herd mentality, as long as there is the first person who is willing to eat crabs, the next thing will be much easier to handle.

And Gu Yanshu's proposal was quickly approved by others:

"Your Highness, this is also a solution."

"Then let's get ready and try to finish it before the end of the month so that we can return to Beijing as soon as possible."

Now Qin Lu's condition is getting better day by day. According to the diagnosis of the imperial physicians, he will recover within a few days.

It has been too long since Qin Lu left the capital, especially after the news that he was infected with smallpox came back to the capital, it will definitely have a certain impact on the current situation in the capital.

Gu Yanshu didn't want to waste too much time in Yizhou.

The accompanying imperial physician has been serving the nobles in the palace all year round. Of course, he also understands Gu Yanshu's doubts, and they all nodded yes, expressing that they will complete the vaccinia vaccination for the people of Yizhou in the shortest possible time.

After the imperial physicians left, Gu Yanshu discovered that Yu Liren was still in the house.

Facing Yu Liren's gaze looking at him, Gu Yanshu frowned slightly:

"What else?"

"I really have a question in my mind..."

There was some hesitation on Yu Liren's face, as if he didn't know whether he should speak.

After seeing Gu Yanshu's eyes indicating that he has something to say, Yu Liren no longer hesitated:

"Judging from the method provided by Princess Shi, His Highness has a very deep understanding of the vaccinia vaccine. If so, why did His Highness take it up until now?"

That's right, Yu Liren also suddenly thought of this question after hearing the questions from the people in Yizhou about "Since vaccinia vaccine can prevent smallpox, why didn't His Royal Highness Li Wang vaccinate in advance?"

After thinking for a long time in his heart, Yu Liren couldn't come up with the answer.

After all, as far as my princess's feelings for the prince are concerned, with such an important item, no matter what, it shouldn't be hidden!

Gu Yanshu never thought that Yu Liren would actually ask this question.

It has to be said that he really didn't know how to answer for a while.

What can he say?

To say that smallpox has long since been eradicated from his mind?

Now that the smallpox virus no longer exists, there is no need to take out the vaccinia vaccine!

Naturally, such words cannot be said.

But seeing Yu Liren's face full of doubts, Gu Yanshu finally gave a vague answer:

"In fact, I got this method by accident, and I don't know whether it is true or not, so I never took it out. If it wasn't for the infection of the prince, maybe I would have forgotten it myself."

"That's it." Although Yu Liren felt that Gu Yanshu's answer seemed logically unreasonable.

But seeing that Gu Yanshu didn't want to say more about this matter, he didn't continue to break the casserole and ask the bottom line.

After all, compared with the efficacy of the vaccinia vaccine itself, its source is really not important.

Gu Yanshu's method is indeed very effective.

The imperial physicians not only let people in the government vaccinate against vaccinia first, but even got inspiration from Gu Yanshu's method of using newspapers to raise donations.

A platform was set up directly in front of the government office, and in accordance with the principle of "fairness, justice, and openness", under the watchful eyes and supervision of the people, the people in the government office were vaccinated against vaccinia.

It is said that hearing is believing and seeing is believing, and the people were completely speechless when the vaccination was supervised under the watchful eyes of the public.

Just as Gu Yanshu expected, ever since the people in the government took the lead, those clamoring in the city that the government wanted to experiment with the common people, and what they were vaccinated with was not the vaccinia vaccine that could prevent smallpox, but the voices of slander were getting louder and louder. decrease.

There are still only two or three people who are willing to be vaccinated.

Until the people found out that the officers and soldiers who had been vaccinated against smallpox under their watchful eyes had entered and exited Yanglin County several times, where the smallpox infection was most severe.

Not only was he fine, but he was even alive and kicking, and after there was no sign of infection, he gradually believed in the reliability of the vaccinia vaccine.

At this time, the magistrate of Yizhou told the people that after all the people in the city who could be vaccinated against vaccinia were vaccinated, they would be able to open the city gates and resume their normal life before.

And as more and more people are vaccinated, the resistance of the people to the vaccinia vaccine is getting smaller and smaller, and fewer and fewer people are resistant.

In the end, even the few people who were the loudest at the beginning, saying that they would never be vaccinated against vaccinia, let go of their prejudices and completed the vaccination.

When the news came, Gu Yanshu happened to be discussing with Qin Lu.

Hearing this, the faces of Gu Yanshu and Qin Lu both felt a little loose:

Although the work of vaccine promotion is more difficult than imagined, overall, the progress is much faster than they initially expected.

At the same time, Qin Lu also thought of another question:

"Smallpox virus is highly infective. The incident in Yanglin County is enough to attract our attention. It is not enough for the people in Yizhou to be inoculated with vaccinia. This thing may need to be popularized throughout the entire sky."

"With the people of Yizhou as an example, it should be much easier to popularize it in other places."

Gu Yanshu agrees with Qin Lu:

"It's just that it is not appropriate for Prince Li's Mansion to do this matter."

Qin Lu was infected with smallpox in Yizhou. Before coming here, the emperor gave Gu Yanshu great authority, allowing Gu Yanshu to kill first and then play in the boundaries of Yizhou.

It is also because of this that Gu Yanshu is so bold and vigorously promotes vaccination in Yizhou.

But if it is going to be placed in the whole Tianqi, and Prince Li's mansion does this again, it will inevitably be suspected of overreaching.

"Then I'll edit a book and let my father do it." Qin Lu said without thinking.

"If the vaccinia vaccine is popularized, it will be a big contribution, and the prince will be willing?"

Gu Yanshu glanced at Qin Lu with a smile.

Before this, although Qin Lu had no obsession with fighting for credit, he rarely gave up what was at his fingertips.

Why did this person change his temper once he arrived in Yizhou?

Qin Lu naturally knew what Gu Yanshu meant by these words, and ignored the ridicule in Wang Hao's tone:

"What credit is not credit? How can it be important to live well?"

It is said that after a person walks through the gate of hell, his thoughts will change.

Only now did Qin Lu realize that these words were not aimless.

What Qin Lu thought in the past was not to allow the eldest prince to sit on the throne, but to compete for the position of the crown prince, and to fight for the peace of heaven.

But after being infected with smallpox this time, Qin Lu realized in a daze that he was not as persistent as he thought about the throne.

If it is regrettable, he only regrets that in his lifetime, he did not bring peace to the world.

During the two-year truce, the neighboring countries already seemed to be ready to move, sharpening their knives toward the sky.

It's not that Qin Lu is arrogant, but that at this moment, Tianqi does not have any general who can take over his current position.

What Qin Lu thought about in his heart was the carnival of the enemy country after the news of his death from contracting smallpox spread, and the iron cavalry that was about to break through the border of Tianqi.

What regrets Qin Lu is that before this, he has not cultivated a man who can be used. If he dies now, Qin Lu can't think of Tianqi's ability to parry.

Gu Yanshu once also suggested that Qin Lu train more generals. At that time, Gu Yanshu said that swords and guns have no eyes on the battlefield. If there are a few people who can be used, Qin Lu can also retreat from the border as soon as possible.

When Gu Yanshu mentioned this, he did have his own selfish intentions.

He didn't want to see his little deer go through the wind and blood on the battlefield, and finally die in battle at a young age.

But compared with selfishness, he is also concerned about Tianqi.

Throughout the 5000-year history of China, the most taboo of generals is the one who dominates the family and has no successors.

This is not only a taboo for generals, but also a taboo for candidates when the king's power changes.

Just like the famous Qin Dynasty, the first emperor swept across the country and leveled the world, and he thought it would last forever, from generation to generation.

Unexpectedly, once Fusu died, Qin could not survive the second generation.

But at that time Qin Lu always felt that he was still young, he was only a weakling, and he could still lift a knife, so why should he be so anxious?

Besides, Qin Lu couldn't find a suitable wife, so he just let go at this moment.

After the energy passed this time, Qin Lu realized how important it is to plan ahead.

Besides, if Qin Lu has any regrets, it is only his own princess.

He and the concubine have been connected for a short time, and even made a lot of plans for their future life.

He has not yet fulfilled the promise he made to the princess during the correspondence, and took him to travel all over the great rivers and mountains of Tianqi.

He hasn't looked at the business blueprint that his princess once described to him.

The branch stores of Yaoyue Pavilion and Guiyuanju have just started to plan, and he hasn't even come to see his princess's appearance in the mall...

Compared with these regrets in his heart, Qin Lu didn't realize until now.

He didn't even think about the turmoil in the court, nor did he think about the position of the crown prince and the ownership of the throne.

Since the emperor is already an insignificant object to Qin Lu, what is the importance of merit to Qin Lu?
