"You're still laughing!" Seeing Chen Ke's joy, Liu Yue'e felt as if she had fallen into an ice cellar: "It turns out that I am so ridiculous in your eyes..."
"No, no, you let me finish laughing first." Chen Ke wiped away the tears of laughter and said: "I was laughing at you for being a snake, it's just a common cold, why do you think of smallpox?"
"Isn't headache and fatigue a precursor to smallpox?" Liu Yue'e didn't believe it.
"It's a sign," Chen Ke said with a smile, "But if you have a headache and fatigue, does it have to be smallpox?"
"You said that this disease is very contagious and only people who have been vaccinated can avoid it..." Liu Yue'e said with a frown.
"Yes, but you have been vaccinated against acne a long time ago!" Chen Ke then revealed the reason why he has always been around.
"When?" Liu Yue'e's red and swollen eyes widened, like two overripe apricots: "Why didn't I know?"
"Do you still remember the last time I changed your dressing last year, and suddenly I gave you a lift on your left arm?" Chen Ke said with a somewhat complacent smile.
"Yeah." Liu Yue'e nodded and recalled: "You told me at that time that you were giving me some poisonous blood. I also asked you, why was there just a drop of blood? You gave me a look and said, this means that I have recovered well.
Okay..." Although it was last year, she still remembered it vividly.
"Did you feel a little weak and feverish in the next two days?" Chen Ke asked with a smile.
Liu Yue'e recalled carefully: "That seems to be the case, but I thought it was a normal reaction after being injured. I felt a little uncomfortable for two days, and then I got better. Only a scar the size of a mung bean was left on my arm.
None of Dr. Wang's medicine works..." It seems that girls are more concerned about scars.
"That's the cowpox I gave you," Chen Ke said with a smile: "I searched for several days before I found a milkmaid who had cowpox. I took a little pus from her affected area and put it in a clean porcelain bottle.
I just came to your house. Not only you, but also your grandparents. I also planted it. I was just worried that you wouldn't be able to accept it, so I didn't tell the truth."
"So, it's impossible for me to get smallpox?" Liu Yue'e asked blankly.
"Of course. Get vaccinated with my cowpox and you will have a worry-free life." Chen Ke said proudly, "How about it? Don't be too moved, just pledge yourself..." His voice became smaller and smaller.
Because he saw Liu Yue'e's eyes burning with raging anger.
"Well, that's fine if you're not grateful, but you can't repay kindness with enmity..." Chen Ke couldn't help but feel guilty.
"Go to hell!" Liu Yue'e screamed with anger rising in her heart. Her strength came from her courage. Just now she couldn't lift her fingers, but now she flew up with a kick.
Fortunately, Chen Ke was prepared. A carp jumped out of bed and said angrily: "You are such a fickle girl. Just now you said that you want to get rid of the problem of using your hands and feet!"
"You bastard! Why didn't you tell me when you entered the village!" Liu Yue'e threw the pillow at Chen Ke and said angrily.
"I focus on the success or failure of the great cause and the survival of thousands of people." Chen Ke defended with a righteous look: "It's understandable that I didn't take you into consideration for a while, right?"
"Understood..." Liu Yue'e nodded, and was so angry that she lifted the quilt and sat up. She didn't care that her shirt was thin and her curves were exposed, and she said angrily: "Then why didn't you say it just now? But you want to take advantage of me?"
"I just said it. How can I make you express your feelings?" Chen Ke smiled and bowed: "My lady, please forgive me. Although Xiaosheng's methods are not very honorable, his purpose is still good."
"Who is your wife? Don't take other people's foolish words seriously!" Liu Yue'e turned her back and kicked Chen Ke: "Today I want to teach you a lesson, you know how to take advantage of others' big liar!
"
Chen Ke did not dodge, he spread his hands in front of his chest and grabbed her feet, which were only wearing stockings. He took a deep sniff and said: "I ran such a long way, but it doesn't stink at all..." Liu Yue'e was so embarrassed that she almost lost her legs.
It softened and fell to the ground.
Chen Ke quickly leaned forward to support her amazingly elastic waist and said: "Madam, the most important thing in life is to do what you can. When you are sick, don't start a fight. Are you hungry? Can I cook you a bowl of noodles?"
"I can beat you even if I'm paralyzed!" Liu Yue'e sneered, twisted her body and gave Chen Ke an elbow, hitting Chen Ke's lower abdomen.
Chen Ke was a little careless and was hit by the attack. Although the strength was not as strong as usual, the pain still caused him to retreat repeatedly and said angrily: "Don't blame me for taking advantage of others' danger!"
"If you can, just take revenge." Liu Yue'e sneered.
After saying that, the two began to fight ping-pong-pong. For a moment, pink fists and thick legs flew together, and the seats and benches were shattered...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The guards in the outer room all looked at each other in shock when they heard the fierce fighting inside. Some of the newly promoted second-pole soldiers actually wanted to rush in to rescue the master. Fortunately, Chen Yi's brain was not muddled, and he kicked him hard.
Those boys scolded in a low voice: "My lord, my lord, what are you getting into?"
"Dear? How can it be dear?" The guards asked in confusion: "I just heard the screams of the adults..."
"You'll get used to it in the future. Adults often say that hitting means kissing and scolding means loving. When the kiss isn't enough, kick..." Chen Yi said with a veteran look on his face as he lectured the younger generation: "Do you understand?"
"Oh..." The guards nodded blankly, saying to themselves that the eccentricities of the big shots are really hard to understand...
After a long cup of tea, the inside calmed down, and then there was a long period of silence.
It was not until dark that Chen Ke came out. Although the lights were dim and his face could not be seen clearly, Chen Yi hurriedly delivered the prepared eggs.
"Damn it, can't you have some confidence in me?" Chen Ke spat, but still took the egg and bared his teeth to deal with the bruises at the corners of his eyes.
"I don't know, sir, what's the outcome of today's battle?" Chen Yi quickly made up for it.
"We played three games in total." Chen Ke said sadly: "I didn't win the first game, she didn't lose the second game, and in the third game, I said let's make it a draw, but I won't do it."
"Hey..." The guards couldn't help but smile bitterly. Master Liu is really powerful! He can even take care of him even when he is sick. But they never meant to laugh at Chen Ke, because Liu Yue'e taught them all their martial arts. They were not convinced at first.
After being beaten by her, she finally became submissive.
"Don't think that I can't even defeat a sick tiger." Chen Ke felt his face was dull and said harshly: "Actually, I did it to treat her illness, understand? You need to sweat when you catch a cold, and you need to have a good sleep, so
I've only fought her three times, but I can't let her lose..." He blushed, hurriedly waved his hands and said, "I don't understand even if I tell you. It's like a chicken talking to a duck." After saying that, he shook his head and turned around.
The house has gone.
The next morning, Shen Kuo went to find him. Although the bruises on Chen Ke's face were no longer obvious, Shen Kuo judged from his many years of experience that Mr. Chen must have suffered domestic violence yesterday. There was no way, who made the Song Dynasty have so many fierce wives?
What? Even officials have been slapped by the queen. Shen Kuo is even more of a gold card member of the Hep-Afraid Club... At least Chen Ke can still fight. He is a great scientist with no power. He can only be beaten.
.
Chen Ke ignored the concerned look in his eyes and quickly got to the point: "Have you figured out how long it will take to vaccinate everyone?"
"If we adopt the methods of my subordinates, we can finish the planting in one month if we have 100,000 people, plus more than 200,000 people from various ministries along the route." Shen Kuo sighed and said, "But your Excellency insists on vaccination with cowpox. This is very difficult.
It probably won’t be completed in half a year.”
"You can't settle the accounts like this. It's just that you don't know the method of cowpox." Chen Ke said seriously: "In order to pursue speed, there are safer methods without using them, but you have to put people in danger. This is a crime."
"Aren't you in a hurry, sir?" Shen Kuo admired Chen Ke's point, but also didn't understand it, because Chen Ke was not like other officials who would say, "Let the people suffer" or "Put the overall situation first."
Words like that. In his eyes, it seems that "loving the people as sons" is not an empty phrase, but a real belief.
'I hope this belief can not be destroyed by the dirty officialdom, or at least persist for as long as possible...' Shen Kuo thought silently in his heart.
"The people are easy to abuse, but the gods are hard to bully." Chen Ke shook his head and said: "I would rather not finish it this year." He said with a smile: "Of course. It would be better if there is no delay."
"What a beautiful idea..." Shen Kuo said with a wry smile: "Even if we vaccinate and construct at the same time, the construction period will be delayed by one to two months." Because after vaccination, you need to rest and observe for two days. And those who have not been vaccinated will inevitably feel panic.
Even if you work hard, the efficiency is not optimistic.
"How long will it be by dry road then?" Chen Ke had no choice but to retreat and do the next best thing.
"An actual survey is still needed, but based on experience, it is at least a hundred miles away." Shen Kuo said cautiously.
"For intermodal transport, let's do intermodal transport," Chen Ke sighed and said, "You can't be greedy. There is only less than one-tenth of the dry road, which is already a great improvement."
"Yes, the transportation cost will be greatly reduced. Compared with the current situation, more than 10,000 kilograms of copper can be transported every year. Compared with the cost of land transportation, the cost can be saved by 67/10. In this way, Yunnan copper can be transported externally, external grain transported internally, and even merchant ships can be transported.
The number of rice, salt, and goods traded in Dali will definitely increase greatly." Shen Kuo nodded and said with a smile: "The benefits of opening up the river have begun to bear fruit. In the coming year, we will completely open up the remaining river sections so that the goods will not leave the ship and go straight to Guangxi.
, the cost will be reduced by more than half, and the transportation volume will be greatly increased."
"Don't be too optimistic," Chen Ke said with a wry smile on his lips: "Let's run it for a year and see." He had to admit that his estimate of the effectiveness of the Hongshui River Project was a bit too optimistic. Even if it was
After the construction, the river still needs four to five thousand full-time services to maintain operation. Moreover, the beach cover that has been repaired will inevitably be blocked by sand and gravel due to rising water in summer and autumn. The cost of annual repairs will be huge, and the cost will increase far away.
Over budget.
However, the flaws are not concealed. The Hongshui River is already the best channel out of Sichuan. Think about it. During the heyday of the Qing Dynasty, the Jinsha River waterway was built intermittently for the purpose of transporting copper from Yunnan. It took seven years and the cost was no less than the own. But it was still
The ship was sinking all day long, and daily maintenance costs were high, so Chen Ke felt much more balanced.
The difficulty of the Jinsha River is much greater than that of the Hongshui River. The Qing government spent more than 10,000 people repairing the first half in one year and the second half in two years. Later, they dragged their feet and built the middle section. So I
I think it is reasonable for Xiao Chen to use 100,000 people to repair more than half of it in a year.
