Chapter 433 The Imperial Concubine Goes to Sea

"I remember that there is still a book!"

Wan Zhen'er suddenly stood up, went to the bookcase beside her, and started rummaging on it.

Zhu Qizhen was stunned and thought to himself, "I'm talking to you about the serious business!"

I am the emperor. When I talk to you, I use such polite words as "reluctant request". Why are you running away?

But Wan Zhen'er's mind was full of medical books, and she seemed to have not listened to her words at all.

"Please look, there are records here!"

Wan Zhen'er came over with a book of unknown name. Zhu Qizhen smiled awkwardly and reached out to take it.

It is recorded in this book that since the Eastern Han Dynasty, when Ma Yuan sent troops to Jiaozhi, the soldiers returned, they began to spread a kind of aphtha in the Central Plains.

...There are like fire sores, and they all wear white slurry, and they will be reborn as soon as possible. If they are not treated immediately, the severe ones will die. After the cure, the scar will be purple and black, and the number will be reduced after more than one year. This is a vicious qi.

"Your Majesty, there is still here!"

Wan Zhen'er handed over another book and turned to one of the pages:

...In the fourth year of Yonghui, this sore flowed from the west to the east and spread throughout the sea. He cooked sunflowers and ate them with garlic, and stopped. At first, he had to eat them urgently, and he also got some food. He got what he got from attacking the enemy in Nanyang in Jianwuzhong, but he still called it a sore.

After reading it, Zhu Qizhen asked, "What about the treatment of such aphrodisiacs?"

"There are many methods recorded, most of which are to eliminate poisons, but..."

Speaking of this, Wan Zhen'er raised her eyebrows slightly, as if she saw something strange.

"The son of Wang Dan, the prime minister of Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty, hired a miracle doctor in Mount Emei to take acne because of smallpox. He suffered from smallpox. The acne was very good in seven days, and the acne was scabbed very much in the thirteenth."

"Wait a moment!"

Zhu Qizhen suddenly thought of something and took the book in Wan Zhen'er's hand.

"The miracle doctor...

Wan Zhen'er was puzzled and asked, "The emperor knows this method?"

Zhu Qizhen didn't answer, but was thinking in his mind.

What is sores in vaccination?

Could it be smallpox!

He raised his head suddenly and asked, "Look for it again, are there any similar records?"

Wan Zhen'er agreed and continued to read the medical books on the bookshelf.

After a while, I finally found another one.

"The surname of Ningguo Prefecture is out of the question. The Yiren Dan Family has been passed down from the world. To this end, most of Ningguo people are from the Ningguo... Emperor, are you talking about this?"

“That’s right!”

Wan Zhen'er nodded, then marked out all the records and treatments about aphthia and sorted them out together.

Zhu Qizhen already had plans in his mind, and went to read the book again mainly to confirm whether the idea in his mind was correct.

Overall, these records are very similar to those in Zhu Qiyu's memorials, and are likely to be what later generations call smallpox.

Before he knew it, it became dark. Wan Zhen'er lit the oil lamp and said, "Your Majesty, it's late, you haven't had any meals yet."

"No hurry!"

Zhu Qizhen slowly closed his eyes and searched for the disappeared smallpox virus from the depths of his memory.

In his time, records of smallpox were only seen in textbooks.

Because humans had completely eliminated the smallpox virus long before they were born.

This virus may have been a relatively harmless poxvirus in domestic animals at the beginning. After gradual evolution and adaptation, the human disease, smallpox, formed.

Later, people gradually discovered accidental situations similar to those of vaccinated people infected with vaccination.

It is roughly because after humans entered the agricultural era, they domesticated a large number of new animals and lived with them, and often lived in the same house.

As a result, the smallpox virus continued to evolve and quickly adapted to different environments and hosts, and finally evolved a terrifying form with a mortality rate of up to 30%.

What's even more terrifying is that such a fatality rate is still in modern society.

If placed in the Ming Dynasty with underdeveloped medical standards, the mortality rate would be more than half!

And the only way to treat this virus is cowpox!

As can be seen from ancient books, in fact, in Chinese history, some people have invented the method of treating acne.

Sun Simiao, a famous doctor in the Tang Dynasty, applied pus from smallpox ulcers to the skin to prevent smallpox. Among the people, vaccination methods for human acne became popular.

The cowpox in later generations was the smallpox virus that caused cattle to infect humans, thus causing diseases.

However, the animal, a cattle, is inherently resistant to smallpox virus, and is only slightly infected and will be cured in a few days.

People found that if aphthalmia infected by cow is re-extracted and transferred to the human body, although aphthalmia will appear, its toxicity is greatly reduced and the mortality rate is almost reduced to zero.

Zhu Qizhen suddenly opened his eyes and said, "There is one thing you need to do!"

Wan Zhen'er hurriedly said, "If you need it, please give me your order, and I will do my best!"

"I just said that the King of Zhou has set out and went to the Nanhaiwei."

"Yes, I heard it."

"However, before King Zhou left, he did not come up with an effective treatment method. I am worried that he would make a slow progress when he arrived at Nanhaiwei. In addition, many people there were also sick, so some women were not very convenient, so..."

Zhu Qizhen hesitated for a moment and continued, "I am going to send you there!"

Wan Zhen'er was stunned for a while, but unexpectedly, the emperor actually assigned him such an important task.

"I will set out tomorrow!"

Zhu Qizhen smiled faintly and said, "The situation is urgent, but I am not in a hurry for this day or half. Before you go, I will explain the method of acne to you clearly."

Wan Zhen'er nodded: "I must study hard!"

"Look at these records..."

Zhu Qizhen took out all the records about the treatment of acne vaccination, and waited for Wan Zhen'er to read them all, and then said: "In fact, it is not difficult to treat this disease, as long as there is a cow, it is enough."

Wan Zhen'er asked in confusion: "What awesome?"

"It's just an ordinary cow!"

Zhu Qizhen explained: "Extract the poisonous sores on human body and plant them on cows. When the cows get sick and develop poisonous sores, they will be planted back onto human body!"

Wan Zhen'er was puzzled and asked, "Why is this?"

"This... I can't explain it clearly. In short, just remember it!"

"Okay, I've recorded it!"

"besides……"

Zhu Qizhen had something to say, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he suddenly became hesitant.

Wan Zhen'er asked, "The emperor has any instructions?"

"I just think...what is your identity?"

"I am a doctor of the Ming Dynasty and a fifth-rank official title."

"I'm afraid it's not enough."

“Why?”

Zhu Qizhen smiled and said, "This inner palace official has never been in charge of external affairs. If you go to the front line with this identity, I am afraid, I am afraid..."

Wan Zhen'er said: "Don't worry, my servant goes to the front line to cure diseases and save people, because it is based on his ability, not his official title."

Zhu Qizhen seemed to have made an important decision and asked: "Actually, I can give you a new identity."

Wan Zhen'er asked, "What is the identity?"

"Empire Daimyo!"
