In the country castle of Grand Duke William of the Netherlands, Grand Duke William of the Netherlands was remembering that his son and daughter were also infected with the Black Death one after another.
I had just been cured of the Black Death, but I didn't expect that my son Paul and my daughter Anna were also infected with the Black Death. This terrible disease made people talk about it in horror.
At this moment, both Paul and Anna were suffering from high fevers, fever all over their bodies, and severe lung inflammation. What was even more frightening was that black spots began to appear on their bodies, which meant that if they did not receive effective treatment, they would basically be close to death.
"Here comes the barber, here comes the barber."
When William was in a panic, the housekeeper hurried over with a barber. The barber carried a toolbox in his hand, which was filled with the main tools for barber treatment during this period, including bloodletting knives and blood draining needles.
Category.
"As promised in advance, my fees are not low, especially to treat patients infected with the Black Death, who must pay ten times the fee."
George, the barber, put on a black burqa, a mask with a pointed nose, and looked like the Grim Reaper. Before he started working, he started talking about remuneration.
To be honest, he really didn't want to come to treat people suffering from the Black Death, but for the sake of money, the other party was the Grand Duke of the Netherlands, with status, status and money, so he had to come.
"roll!"
William was already in a terrible mood. When he saw George taking out syringes and the like, he was obviously going to use his previous boss again and was preparing to give his son and daughter bloodletting treatment.
He became so angry that he started shouting.
A few days ago, I almost died from the hairdresser's bloodletting treatment, and now I have to use the same method to treat my daughter and son. I might as well just kill them.
"You, you~"
When George looked at William who was as angry as a lion, he was shocked. He didn't understand where he had offended him to make him so angry.
He came here to treat his children, but instead of saying a nice word, he told him to get out. This made George immediately feel as if he had been greatly insulted. He took his own tools and went back without looking back.
Already.
"Sir, we shouldn't be like this."
Seeing that William seemed very angry, the housekeeper said seriously: "No one knows whether penicillin can be purchased from Hong Kong. It has been several days."
"I know, but I also know that if I let the barber bleed, my child might not be able to survive today, and even if the medicine arrives, he won't be able to survive."
William nodded and kept looking at the road outside the castle, hoping that the life-saving penicillin would arrive soon.
"At that time, I shouldn't have thought that the medicine was expensive. I should have bought more and kept it."
He felt regretful in his heart. When he was suffering from the Black Death, he learned that there was a kind of penicillin in Hong Kong. It was extremely expensive, ten times as much as gold, but the Ming Dynasty claimed that this medicine had miraculous effects.
With the attitude of giving it a try, William also ordered someone to buy some. As a result, his Black Death was quickly cured. This made William feel that although this medicine was expensive, it was worth it.
At that time, the Black Death had just begun, and penicillin was relatively easy to buy. Now that the news has gradually spread, I don't know if penicillin can be purchased.
While waiting anxiously, a car quickly drove towards the castle.
"I'm coming!"
When they saw the car, William and the housekeeper immediately shouted excitedly.
Before the car heard anything, the people inside the car shouted excitedly.
"I got it, I got it!"
Upon hearing this, William immediately breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
Soon, the person who bought penicillin hurriedly came over with the medicine.
"The price of penicillin has skyrocketed. Just two boxes of penicillin cost more than 3,000 taels of silver!"
"And even if I have money, I still can't buy it. I asked all the major commercial banks and all the penicillin has been sold out. Finally, I reported your name to the Governor's Office of Hong Kong.
, with the intervention of the Governor of Hong Kong, I spent more than three thousand taels of silver to buy two boxes of penicillin!"
The servant said breathlessly.
Now the price of penicillin is rising again and again. The price is many times more expensive than gold. But even if you have money, this thing is already very difficult to buy.
Because of the outbreak of the Black Death in Europe, the Ming Dynasty not only blocked all exchanges with Europe for its own safety, but also for penicillin, which can treat the Black Death, in Hong Kong, the Mediterranean, and the Black Earth Province.
People in the Ming Dynasty are also buying this penicillin one after another and keeping some at home, just in case.
In addition, the output of penicillin itself is also very low. Even the inventor of penicillin, Zhang Xingjian, and the Zhang family have been working hard to increase output and have also developed ways to increase output in large quantities.
However, the market demand for penicillin is still much larger than its production, many times. There are so many diseases that it can treat, and the market demand for it is very strong around the world.
These factors have led to the skyrocketing price of penicillin and the difficulty in finding a single drug.
"Governor of Hong Kong?"
"It seems that I will prepare a generous gift to thank him later."
After hearing this, William immediately silently remembered this friendship, and then quickly ordered someone to give medicine to his son and daughter.
Because William had suffered from the Black Death not long ago, everyone knew how to use this medicine.
There is no doubt that penicillin is effective in treating plague. It is definitely a specific drug and its effect is very significant.
Just half an hour after the injection, Paul and Anna began to sweat profusely. Then their body temperature dropped rapidly, their breathing became smoother, and their complexions began to turn rosy.
Seeing this scene, William immediately breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
By the second day, Paul and Anna's mental state had improved a lot. The dark spots on their skin were gradually fading, and only faint marks could be seen.
Then a second shot of penicillin was injected, and by the afternoon, the two children were already alive and kicking. The terrible Black Death, a terrible disease that made Europeans fearful, was so simple and easy to cure with penicillin.
Already.
"What a miracle medicine!"
"They are really the nemesis of the Black Death. The people of Ming Dynasty are really amazing!"
Seeing his children getting better in a short period of time, and then thinking about himself, William couldn't help but sigh.
Europeans have always been unable to do anything about the Black Death, but the Ming Dynasty people actually developed a special medicine to treat this Black Death. It only takes two days to cure the disease. It’s amazing and incredible!
At this moment, the person who lamented the miracle of penicillin was not only the Dutch Archduke William, but also many European nobles who benefited from penicillin.
In a manor outside Paris, France, a nobleman was lamenting the magic of penicillin with a pen.
"This is an incredible miracle drug!"
"In just two or three days, it brought me back from hell!"
"Oh, thank God, thank the Ming people, thank penicillin!"
"With it, the Black Death will no longer be scary. It is the nemesis of the Black Death. It is an angel, an angel from the Eastern Ming Dynasty."
"Although its price is very expensive, gold pales in comparison to it."
"..."
"Almighty God, I swear to you that I will cherish my life more and thank you for giving me new life!"
The nobleman did his best to compose poetry in his own barren vocabulary in praise of this miraculous medicine.
The Black Death has always been a horrific plague that has made all Europeans talk about it.
Once you are infected with this disease, you can only pray that the God of Death despises your ugly soul and is unwilling to accept you, otherwise you will definitely die.
Now that penicillin can effectively treat the Black Death, this has deeply shocked Europeans, especially those who have experienced it personally, who can truly understand the process from despair to rebirth.
In the Spanish Royal Palace, Charles V was holding an emergency meeting to discuss how to deal with the current spread of the Black Death.
"Your Majesty, both the Spanish Empire and the Holy Roman Empire have implemented strict blockades. With the cheap food from the Ming Dynasty, our blockade measures have received strong support and cooperation from everyone."
Duke Brand reported the current epidemic prevention work to Charles V with a smile on his face. With the Ming Dynasty setting an example, they directly copied it. It was originally difficult to control the famine.
Now that there is a steady stream of cheap food from the Ming Empire, the blockade and control have been effectively coordinated, and the effect is also very significant. As long as the Black Death occurs, the surrounding area will be sealed off as soon as possible and the patients will be isolated.
Greatly reduced new cases and curbed the spread of the Black Death.
"Very good, keep at it. The Black Death won't last long. It only takes half a month at most to control it."
The young Charles V nodded with satisfaction. He had recently been studying the Ming Empire's epidemic prevention methods last year and learned in detail about the large-scale plague that occurred in the Ming Dynasty last year.
"Your Majesty, the Black Death can not only be prevented and controlled, but can also be treated. The Ming Empire has a special drug called penicillin, which has a miraculous effect on treating plague."
"Currently, the news of penicillin has spread throughout Europe, making it difficult to obtain this drug. I ask your Majesty to write a letter and call the Emperor of the Ming Empire in person."
"I beg the Ming Empire to sell a separate batch of penicillin to our Spanish Empire and the Holy Roman Empire."
Duke Brand thought for a while and then advised Charles V. He was actually speaking for many nobles, because now everyone was worried about being infected with the Black Death and wanted to prepare some penicillin.
