Fall in love with the technology tree [Three Kingdoms]

At the end of July, it is the season when the big Mars crosses the sky in the evening, announcing that the hottest season is about to leave the Central Plains.

Hedong, a land exhausted by successive huge disasters.After exhaustion, it is the numbness of accepting militarized management.And under Zhao Qi's characteristic management, this kind of numbness actually leads to a normal social life:

The golden wheat fields were harvested, summer beans and corn were sown, and rice was even planted in the paddy fields along the river.Farmers were busy in the fields, and officers and soldiers patrolled along the roads.The women and children of the big family stay behind closed doors, but there are always young people who want to come out to work—either join the army, or hold a knife and pen. When the epidemic area is unsealed, there will always be a way out.

Quiet and stable, this is the portrayal of Hedong today.Everyone's temper became temperless in front of Zhao Qi.For example, he is walking on a newly paved rammed earth road, and the farmers along the road dare not look up at him.

This road leads to Dayang City.Half a mile away from the military camp defending the city, there is a bamboo forest with streams, flower beds, and small buildings. A special woman lives in it.

Xun You was on the same journey with him, a literati with long robes and wide sleeves, and a capable and ruthless sergeant, the two formed a stark contrast.

"I received news that Zhonghua entered Dayang City yesterday." Xun You first asked, "My news is not as good as yours, so tell me why? What is the use of her current status?" To risk yourself?"

Zhao Qi snorted: "It's not because the promotion of vaccinia is not going well, so she came here in person. It's also a decades-old problem, and I can't get rid of it."

"None of your [-] retainers can speak up?"

Zhao Qi squinted at Xun You: "If a gentleman doesn't stand under a dangerous wall, isn't Gongda a gentleman? Isn't he still staying with me in the epidemic area for these few months?"

Xun You sighed and stroked his beard.

"The reason why the master came here is the same as the reason why Gongda came here. If a man has no power, he will not be able to establish himself, and if he has no merit, he will not be famous. If she can be persuaded by danger, she will be just a housewife today. It's not Duke Zhonghua."

While talking, the two had already walked into the bamboo forest.The sunlight casts the overlapping shadows of bamboo leaves on the pebble-paved path, which is extremely quiet.After turning a few turns, you can see a closed small courtyard door, made of dark green bamboo tubes into a pattern, which is not so much to prevent theft as it is to show the talent of the owner here.

The long sound of the piano came from the building behind the small door.The two-story cottage was spacious and comfortable.The living room on the first floor has a wide door, and the corridor in front of the door is three meters wide, with bamboo curtains hanging around it, and when the curtain is pulled up, it becomes a balcony.

At this time, a woman in plain clothes was playing the piano on the corridor, her posture was elegant and dignified, like a fairy in a painting, or a hermit in Foshan.

Zhao Qi and Xun You looked at each other and saw the same emotion in each other's eyes.The person in front of me is top-notch in talent, learning and appearance, which is enough to amaze an era, but with Cao Sheng, a great man who wants to stand shoulder to shoulder with the sky, it seems that this person is far behind in the word "achievement" .

They waited at the door until Cai Yan finished playing "High Mountain and Flowing Water". "Master Cai." Zhao Qi took the lead in stepping forward, clasped his hands through a short courtyard door, "I don't know why Master Cai is looking for me? Your father's letter has been delivered this month, and food and clothing are also divided according to the agreement." Quite a few. I dare not be inattentive when I follow the master's order to settle down everyone in Cai."

Cai Yan put down the piano and bowed outside the door. "Prefect Zhao, everything is fine for Yan." She did not call herself "concubine", but "Yan". This change of title made Zhao Qi squint slightly.

"Prefect Zhao, I have invited you here this time because I want to ask you something."

"Master Cai, please speak freely." Zhao Qi raised his head and smiled.He has a face that can be ten years younger with just a smile. Even if they know that this is a cruel official who does not recognize his relatives, few people can resist the affinity he has when he smiles.

"Governor Zhao," Cai Yan rubbed his hands together imperceptibly, "I heard that Duke Zhonghua has a cure for sores, but is it true?"

Zhao Qi said seriously: "It's been half a month since we preached the vaccinia method. Although everyone Cai lives in a remote place, they should know about it."

"It's about getting cowpox once, and then you don't get human pox again, right?"

"Yes."

"I heard that there are no birds at the gate of the vaccination center. Is it true?"

Zhao Qi smiled wryly: "Three months have passed since there was no sore in Hedong, and the epidemic area will be unsealed in just three more months. Fathers and villagers, no matter how high or low, don't want to take the initiative to get acne, and would rather wait for luck. I’m not going to hide it from you, the master has already personally entered the river east because of the cowpox.”

Cai Yan raised her warm eyes: "Mr. Zhonghua inoculated himself with cowpox, so he is not afraid of sores?"

"Not only the master himself, but all the members of the Cao family have been vaccinated, even the fifth and sixth sons who are under the age of one. Cowpox is mild in nature, and only one person has a fever in a hundred people who have been vaccinated. There are medicine stone needles, so it is not difficult to save life..."

"You don't need to say any more, I believe in Duke Zhonghua." Cai Yan interrupted him, "I want to be vaccinated against cowpox."

Zhao Qi: "What... What?" Never expected that the first person in Hedong who wanted to eat crabs was actually Cai Yan.

"I also ask Prefect Zhao to inform the families of Anyi, Hebei, Xiexian, Dayang, and Wenxi that Cai Yan will be vaccinated against vaccinia."

Zhao Qi's eyes changed, as if it was the first time he met this woman who lived in seclusion in the bamboo building and wrote books and played the piano.He bowed deeply: "Qi, on behalf of the people of Hedong, thank you everyone Cai."

Cai Yan's vaccinia was planted by Ah Sheng himself, on the wall of Dayang City, surrounded by hundreds of people.A cotton swab was dipped in alcohol to disinfect the arm, and then the cytoplasm of vaccinia was injected into the body with a metal needle.

"Does it hurt?" Ah Sheng asked her softly.

Cai Yan shook her head: "I've already experienced heart-pounding pain. It's just acupuncture and moxibustion, it's fine."

When I saw her last time, although she was quiet, she was still a naive girl in her bones, but now she was ripened by reality.

Ah Sheng couldn't help but want to touch the child's head, but because of hundreds of pairs of eyes staring at him, he had no choice but to give up. "I'm in the academy, and I have a place for you." She said softly, then turned around and announced to everyone that the vaccination had been completed.

For the next few days, Cai Yan sat in a grass shed at the foot of the city wall, accepting the crowds of the people.The wound on her arm turned red and blistered, and the people ran away as if they had seen the plague.However, the next day, some people couldn't help but come to see it.On the third day there were more people.Her herpes festered and scabbed in full view, and finally healed, leaving only a circular scar.

Next, the vigorous Hedong vaccination campaign kicked off.

"Your name will be left in the history." On the day Cai Yan walked out of the hut, Asheng said to her, "Not only because of your talent, but also because of your courage. Courage is more important than talent in troubled times." It is a precious thing, it can make the war collapse and the nation continue."
