Bai Shan was also shocked and asked, "Do you want to test it with smallpox?"
"certainly!"
After Manbao made sure that everyone's acne had subsided, he went to prepare smallpox scabs and let them try to see if they would still be infected with smallpox.
This was the last step. When Man Bao brought the prepared smallpox scab, the six of them were sitting together, all nervously looking at the bowl in her hand.
I heard that they were acne scabs caused by people. In the past, they never touched them. Whenever they heard about smallpox somewhere, they wanted to stay away.
But they have already been exposed to cow pox scabs, and now they are exposed to human ones...
After thinking about it this way, the six of them were no longer very nervous, and they all lined up to wait.
Man Bao put the mixed cotton cloth in their noses and said: "Leave it on at night and take it off after six hours. The results will usually be known in three to five days, but we usually leave people in
It depends on the situation in ten days. If you are not infected with smallpox after ten days, it means that the vaccination is successful and you will not be infected with smallpox in the future."
The six people swallowed their saliva after hearing this and asked: "Then, what if the previous cowpox doesn't work?"
Man Bao's eyes narrowed and he said: "Then you will get acne again, and this time the acne will be much more dangerous."
This is equivalent to vaccinating people with pox. This Manbao has experience, but their health is not as good as that of the previous prisoners.
Thinking of this, Man Bao became a little nervous and asked Bai Shan, "Will the medicinal materials we prepared not be enough?"
Bai Shandao: "There are some in Xizhou City. I bought everything you need."
Manbao sighed, "That's right."
Both of them were nervously waiting for the results, which made Bai Erlang who came to visit them a little nervous and asked: "How are you now?"
Man Bao said: "It's pretty good. There's no reaction yet, but it's only the second day now. Let's wait and see in a few days."
Bai Erlang thought for a while and then said: "If it succeeds, the subsequent tests will be faster, right?"
Man Bao nodded, "The scabs of cowpox are ready-made. There is no need to wait again. Once confirmed this time, the second batch of tests can be carried out."
And because of the previous experience, the second test will definitely be faster.
Bai Erlang said happily: "Then our speed must be faster than that of the army. The good news came back yesterday that General Ashina conquered three cities in Kucha and has already approached the capital of Kucha."
Man Bao asked him, "We are faster than the army, what do you want to do in the rest of the time?"
Bai Erlang chuckled and said: "I heard that when it gets colder, it may snow in the desert, and the snow on the sand dunes is particularly beautiful."
When Bai Shan heard this, he perked up and said, "There is little water in the desert, so it won't snow easily, right?"
Snow is just like rain, and there will be less rain after winter.
"Sir, he said that he watched the sky at night and felt that there should be rain in the Western Region this year. If it gets colder, won't the rain turn into snow? It will definitely snow."
Bai Shan turned to Man Bao and said, "Otherwise, let them build a yard next to it. Anyway, it is made of yellow mud and it is very fast. This way the experiment will be faster."
Man Bao: "Can the people from the Protectorate Mansion agree?"
She didn't have any objections. At worst, when she was too busy, she would call Bai Erlang and the others to help.
However, we still have to wait until this trial is completed to prove that cowpox is really effective before we can start the next trial. Otherwise, if it is useless, then...
Man Bao shook his head and suppressed this thought for the time being.
Bai Shan already pondered: "I think he will agree. I will take Liu Huan with me to ask."
He said: "We have been interacting with them a lot recently, probably because General Guo gave us a warning before he left, so they are quite polite to us."
Coupled with Liu Huan, the problem should not be big. There are only two yards and only two days of work. The things added to the house are not expensive.
He said: "I heard that General Ashina and the Ministry of Revenue are asking for the second batch of food and grass."
Therefore, even General Guo would not offend Liu Huan too much now.
Even though they were thousands of miles away from the capital, they could not complain to Liu Shangshu at any time, but the fox's pretense and the tiger's power were enough.
As expected, Bai Shan took Liu Huan to the Duhu Mansion for a tour. After a tour, he not only added two more yards for them, but also asked them for a lot of rice, noodles, vegetables and meat. The chickens raised in the yard became more beautiful.
There are more, and there are old hens who know how to place orders.
There were also several more sheep grazing outside the yard.
There was no way, Bai Shan wanted a lot of meat, and said that the soldiers who would be sent out later would have to be raised for a while. There were six people in one yard, and eighteen in three yards.
Eighteen people had two meals of meat a day, which was a lot. He asked for more, and it had to be fresh meat every day.
The Protectorate is too lazy to send them fresh meat every day. It is a place with smallpox, so it is so easy to get in and out?
So I simply drove a dozen sheep to them and let them watch and kill them.
Nie Canjun, who was in charge of guarding the patients, curled his lips and said to Bai Shan: "They are just lazy, but we can kill them ourselves, and we can also use the mutton bones to make soup, which is more delicious than mutton."
Bai Shan simply handed over the tasks of killing and herding sheep to Nie Canjun, and went to the military camp to select eighteen people to live in the two newly built courtyards.
Man Bao took Zhou Liru to check their pulses and prescribe medicated meals, and began to nourish their bodies.
The eighteen people thought that they would be infected with smallpox when they arrived, but they did not expect that they would have to eat delicious food for a few days first. They waited anxiously while eating, and stood on tiptoes every day to look at the yard next door.
No one can enter that courtyard easily, and the people inside can't come out. I heard they are doing vaccinations.
The eighteen people swallowed their saliva, and when the soldiers came to deliver the food, they couldn't help but ask, "Brother, are the people in the next yard still alive?"
The soldiers guarding them knew that they were not prisoners, but soldiers like themselves. Moreover, they were disabled and could only ask for a return home. It was a waste of their own kind. The soldiers guarding them were very polite to them. After hearing this, they said: "Live."
Well, if you don’t believe it, just stand in the yard and yell over there and you will know.”
They are all yellow mud houses with no soundproofing at all. You can hear a fart in the yard next door.
As soon as they arrived, they stayed in bed in a daze after eating every day, not even daring to speak too loudly, otherwise the next door would have noticed.
When the eighteen people heard this, they paused and asked, "Can I shout?"
The soldier put down the food and bowls and chopsticks and said: "Shout, by the way, wash the dishes after eating. Mr. Zhou said, if you have nothing to do, you can go out for a walk. Except that you can't go near the yard, you can go anywhere nearby. We put the sheep in
We're on the hillside. If you're okay, you can help us take a look."
"No brother, aren't we here to fight smallpox? Why are we just eating?"
"You are dying of smallpox, you are planting smallpox!" The soldier emphasized: "Mr. Zhou feels sorry for you. You need to take good care of your body before planting, so that you can withstand the smallpox. Anyway, it hasn't produced results over there yet, so you should start here.
Just take good care of your health. When they are well over there and you are well over here, it will be your turn."
