Liu Chan looked at the expressions of the three imperial doctors and could understand their current mood.
This is smallpox.
Before that, whenever smallpox appeared, human beings had very simple choices. Anyone infected with smallpox needed to be quarantined in a centralized manner to see if they could recover.
It all depends on one’s fate.
If he cannot recover, it can only be said that his fate is doomed.
"Your Majesty!" the older imperial physician asked, "Are you serious about this?"
Although no one has found a way to control smallpox, the old doctor did not believe Liu Chan.
Because he admires Liu Chan very much.
Anesthesia, do you know?
Previously, the miracle doctor Hua Tuo,
Ma Fei Powder was once invented.
It’s just that Doctor Hua died in prison.
His superb medical skills,
It has not been passed down, which naturally also includes Ma Fei Powder.
However, a few years ago, Princess Ma'e had difficulty in giving birth. In order to help her give birth, Liu Chan proposed a caesarean section.
A caesarean section without anesthesia can easily cause the patient to die from unbearable pain.
As a result, Liu Chan prepared anesthetic wine for them.
The old doctor was at the scene when this happened.
So now Liu Chan says that he has a way to control smallpox.
He really believed it.
The other two people were dubious.
However, as soon as the old doctor finished speaking, Liu Chan nodded firmly and said: "This is absolutely true. I will teach this method to my three beloved queens later. After this epidemic has passed,
>
I also hope that the three dear friends will promote this method."
Said,
Liu Chan sighed, and then said: "If this method can be promoted, mankind will be free from the suffering of smallpox."
The old doctor was immediately excited: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
He is a doctor, and a doctor's duty is to save lives and heal the wounded. The smallpox epidemic has done too much harm to mankind. If there is a way to prevent the spread of smallpox, it will be a great contribution to the entire human race.
Vaccine against cowpox.
Liu Chan is now waiting for the cow that carries cowpox to enter the palace. He must inoculate the uninfected people in the palace with cowpox as soon as possible. This way, at least the smallpox will not spread in Weiyang Palace today, and the infected people can also be well taken care of.
.
Of course, what Liu Chan is most concerned about now is Zhang Yuan.
Although he knew that vaccination with cowpox could make people immune to smallpox, he did not know how to treat smallpox.
For people like Zhang Yuan, the eunuch Za Ruogong, and those who have been infected but have not yet become ill, we can only work hard to help them recover.
Help them defeat smallpox.
This is also a cruel test.
Because everyone's body constitution is different, people with stronger immunity may be able to withstand the damage of the smallpox virus and slowly recover automatically.
If you are a person with low immunity, or a patient with a more serious condition...
Alas——
...
Waiting is always painful.
Although Liu Chan knew how to control the spread of smallpox, it was not easy to prepare all the things he needed.
He waited for two full days before Prime Minister Zhuge Liang sent all the things he wanted to Weiyang Palace.
"Your Majesty—" Zhuge Liang looked a little funny in the flower hall in the front yard of Jiaofang Palace. His whole body was tightly wrapped, and only two eyes were exposed.
Because he is anxious, he is also worried.
The palace is infected with smallpox. As the prime minister, can he not be anxious?
He wanted to see Liu Chan, but Liu Chan ordered that no one except Wang Yuanji and Nuo Qi could enter or leave Jiaofang Hall, but Zhuge Liang insisted on coming in. Gu Chu
There was no other way, so Liu Chan had to take out the newly made anti-epidemic clothes and let Zhuge Liang take adequate precautions before letting him enter the Jiaofang Palace.
"Your Majesty, does your method really work?"
As soon as they met, Zhuge Liang asked.
This is the first time Liu Chan has seen Zhuge Liang so anxious. He has never seen him so panicked before, even if it was the Battle of Guanzhong or the Battle of Liangzhou.
But he had to panic.
Because in the past two days, in addition to trying to prepare these things for Liu Chan, the people in the Prime Minister's Mansion have been busy conducting checks in Chang'an to see if any people have been infected with smallpox.
After two days of investigation, he got the result that he didn't want to see.
Because in Chang'an City, nearly a hundred people have been found to be infected with smallpox.
"Don't worry, Xiangfu!" Liu Chan affirmed: "My method is absolutely effective... After Xiangfu returns, he can immediately arrange for doctors to implement it and vaccinate all uninfected people as soon as possible."
p>
Liu Chan already knew that people in Chang'an City were infected with smallpox, and in the past two days, several more maids and eunuchs in the palace were diagnosed with the infection.
Vaccination is an urgent matter.
While Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang were talking, the square in the front yard of Jiaofang Palace was very lively at this time. More than a dozen eunuchs were busy setting up tables and chairs, and the remaining eunuchs and palace maids were rushing in from various courtyards.
, and then formed two columns.
"Don't be anxious, everyone can be vaccinated."
An imperial physician who had just walked out of the inner courtyard looked at the somewhat panicked eunuchs and maids, and hurriedly reminded everyone.
The emperor said that as long as you are vaccinated with this kind of cowpox, you will not be infected with smallpox again.
These palace maids, mothers-in-law, and eunuchs were naturally overjoyed.
Because they are also afraid of death.
Listening to the noise outside, Liu Chan and Zhuge Liang got up and walked out.
Liu Chan had already explained the method of vaccination to three imperial doctors. As an imperial physician of a dynasty, he told them the method of vaccination and asked them to implement it, so it would no longer be a difficult task.
The three imperial doctors were divided into two groups.
The old doctor was mainly busy inoculating several masters, and he was also responsible for teaching, so that other doctors could learn the vaccination methods from him. After all, in addition to more than a dozen masters, palace maids, and eunuchs, there were also many eunuchs in the harem.
Just relying on the three of them to vaccinate, the workload is really too much.
The other two imperial doctors came to the front yard and were responsible for vaccinating all the servants in Jiaofang Palace who were not infected.
"Your Majesty, is this method really feasible?"
When Zhuge Liang came out, he happened to see the imperial doctor inoculating the palace ladies. He was still a little uneasy and asked Liu Chan. Liu Chan smiled and said, "Don't worry, father, this method is absolutely safe and reliable."
"This cowpox is very similar to smallpox;" Liu Chan pointed to a few cows not far away and explained: "People who have had smallpox, as long as they can recover, will never get smallpox again."
"Yeah!" Zhuge nodded.
Ordinary people know this, and Zhuge naturally knows it too.
"The same is true for cowpox;" Liu Chan continued: "Compared to smallpox, cowpox can also be contagious, but the disease of infected people is very mild, and it will not take long for them to recover naturally."
Zhuge Liang didn't know about this, so he asked: "How did your Majesty know about the cowpox epidemic?"
Cowpox——
Liu Chan was stunned for a moment. According to historical records, cowpox was prevalent in a large area, and it was well known and recorded in Europe.
This time Liu Chan also wanted to give it a try. He was originally not sure whether cows would get cowpox in this era, but he also thought that if none of the cows in Chang'an had cowpox, he could only isolate some cows from the infection first.
Smallpox, and then see if the cow is infected with cowpox.
It's just that he is lucky.
