Zhao Yuan had basically determined that the smallpox was actually pox.
"You didn't vaccinate Feng'er before,"
"The success rate must be low, right?"
"Yes, during the reign of Emperor Zhenzong of Song,"
"There is a miraculous doctor on Mount Emei,"
"He was once the son of Wang Dan, the prime minister at the time,"
"Wang Su was vaccinated with smallpox to prevent smallpox."
"Even the imperial physicians learned how to administer smallpox,"
"However, later on, many people who received variolation directly contracted smallpox,"
"Therefore, Song Dynasty emperors rarely received vaccinations."
"A while ago, smallpox appeared in Dengzhou,"
"The Imperial Medical Bureau just sent someone to inquire."
“I’m afraid the vaccination will fail,”
"We didn't dare let the imperial physicians vaccinate the people in the palace."
Zhao Yuan naturally knew that the people from the Imperial Medical Bureau were just doing their job.
If you ask the people at Liangwang Palace, they will most likely refuse.
But if you don't ask...
Once someone in the palace falls ill
The Imperial Medical Bureau did not mention smallpox vaccination at that time.
If investigated, they will inevitably be held accountable.
Zhao Yuan laughed and said, "Then why do you want Feng'er to get vaccinated against smallpox again?"
Li Shishi glanced at the newborn child.
"If Feng'er doesn't get vaccinated,"
"According to palace rules, I cannot have contact with my younger brother."
"They were separated when they were young,"
"We probably won't be close when we grow up."
Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "You're right."
"However, smallpox is still too dangerous,"
"Cowpox should be used to treat smallpox."
"I'll send someone to find the cowpox vaccine right away,"
“We’ll all get vaccinated against smallpox later,”
"I won't get acne again."
Li Shishi heard that there was a solution.
I can finally relax.
Zhao Yuan and Li Shishi chatted for a while.
Let Li Shishi rest.
Then they sent someone to invite the legendary physician An Daoquan.
An Daoquan followed the army for thousands of miles.
They prevented the plague from spreading among the army.
He received many rewards in this distribution of merits.
It was a time of great success and pride.
Zhao Yuan met An Daoquan at Yanfu Hall.
After a brief exchange of pleasantries, he said,
"How's the smallpox situation in Dengzhou?"
An Daoquan is in charge of the Imperial Medical Bureau,
They are naturally familiar with the situation in Fangzhou.
"Local officials handled the situation promptly,"
"The imperial court immediately dispatched another 20,000 new soldiers to blockade Dengzhou,"
"The pimples didn't spread."
Chapter 1826 Smallpox
"No smallpox patients have been found in the nearby state capitals,"
"The lockdown has been lifted."
"However, the epidemic situation in Dengzhou is very serious,"
"There is no cure for smallpox."
"The only solution is to separate the city into neighborhoods,"
"To prevent the spread of infection."
"More than 20,000 people have died in the city now,"
“People are still getting sick.”
"I don't know how long this blisters will last."
"The Imperial Medical Bureau has already sent people to inoculate the people in the city with smallpox,"
"However, smallpox treatment is prone to failure,"
"I'm afraid many people in the city will refuse to get vaccinated against smallpox."
Speaking of which,
An Daoquan couldn't help but sigh.
Although he was known as a miracle doctor,
But he was helpless when faced with acne.
Smallpox was first discovered during the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Famous doctors throughout history have conducted extensive research.
But none of them could cure acne.
After the Tang Dynasty,
The frequency of acne breakouts began to increase.
All people can do is seal off the areas where the outbreak has occurred.
Let the people in the epidemic area fend for themselves.
Back then, Wang Dan invited a renowned physician from Mount Emei to inoculate his son with smallpox.
This was because the capital was ravaged by smallpox at the time.
As the head of all officials, the prime minister must set an example by his own conduct.
He took the lead in getting his family members vaccinated against smallpox.
However, after several people were vaccinated...
Then examples of failure began to appear.
Those who were vaccinated contracted smallpox directly.
Although it was later proven that those who succeeded did not get smallpox.
However, none of the powerful and wealthy in the capital dared to risk getting vaccinated.
Zhao Yuan didn't need to think.
I also know how desperate the people of Dengzhou were.
There is no cure for acne.
Those who are sick can only wait to die.
Even those who are not sick can experience acne because acne has an incubation period.
They could only be confined to the city.
Waiting for the pandemic to end,
I live in constant fear.
Perhaps the soldiers were afraid of contracting the disease.
No one dared to deliver the grain.
Over time,
It's probably not just death from illness.
Many more people will starve to death.
"Smallpox can be prevented and treated by vaccination with cowpox vaccine,"
“I will have the imperial court search for cows that have contracted smallpox throughout the country,”
"Then you should send the imperial physicians to vaccinate the people of Dengzhou first,"
"Strive to ensure that people in the city who are not sick do not have to worry about cowpox."
An Daoquan asked in confusion, "Smallpox?"
Zhao Yuan nodded and said, "Cowpox and smallpox are very similar."
"However, its toxicity is much weaker."
"Vaccination with smallpox rarely results in death,"
"Once the vaccination is successful, it will provide immunity to acne."
An Daoquan was quite suspicious.
Cows are much stronger than humans.
If it's the same disease,
Cowpox should be more toxic than variolation.
However, he also knew that King Liang was a god descended from heaven and wouldn't make a mistake.
"Okay, as long as we find the cowpox lesion,"
"I'll take the imperial physician to get vaccinated against smallpox first,"
"Then we will go to Dengzhou to treat the people."
Zhao Yuan smiled and said, "After finding the cowpox vaccine,"
"You should vaccinate me at Xuandemen first,"
"I will prove to the people that cowpox is harmless."
An Daoquan hurriedly replied, "The King of Liang's fate rests on the shoulders of the entire nation."
"How can we risk our lives?"
"I am a doctor; if I could find a way to prevent acne,"
"I would be content even if I died."
