The way to infect cows with vaccinia is to infect them with smallpox virus, so Xiao Jie secretly asked Ye Qiu to find a few smallpox patients and lock them up with the cows. After all these days, some cows should have vaccinia Alright.

Xiao Jie ordered the soldiers to bring the dozen or so cows to him, and immediately squatted down to examine the underbelly of these cows.

But Ye Qiu grabbed Xiao Jie: "Your Highness, these cows have been with smallpox patients for several days, and they may also be infected with smallpox. Your Highness is a body of gold, so be careful."

Xiao Jie didn't know how to explain it to Ye Qiu, so he just smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know it well, when did you hear that cows get smallpox."

Ye Qiu was slightly taken aback, as if he had never heard of smallpox in his memory.

Xiao Jie squatted down and carefully inspected each cow, and sure enough, he saw blisters or partial ulcers in the milk of several cows, which was a sign of cowpox.

Xiao Jie was overjoyed, and hurriedly ordered the soldiers to bring a big bag of freshly caught locusts that were still alive and kicking.

Xiao Jie's order was very simple, ordering them to use fine needles to puncture the pox fluid from the cows suffering from cowpox, and poke the pox fluid on the locusts.

Although the soldiers didn't understand why Xiao Jie asked them to do this, they didn't ask a word, but followed the order to the letter.

On the contrary, Ye Qiu felt sorry for the soldiers. They were already tired after a day of training during the day, and now they had to work overtime all night in the dark to toss these cows and locusts.

Xiao Jie also felt distressed, but he really had no choice, the disaster was an order, and if the plague of locusts were eliminated one night earlier, a lot of food for the people could be saved.

After half a night of hard work by Qingzhou soldiers, they finally inoculated every captured locust with cowpox.

Without hesitation, Xiao Jie ordered Ye Qiu to send out [-] soldiers to take the locusts that had been infected with cowpox overnight to the counties and counties where the locust plague was the worst...

……

"What! You say the locusts are almost extinct?"

In the governor's mansion, Wang Dan looked at the guards from Changsha County who came to Xiangyang to report the victory with a look of shock. , his expression was full of disbelief.

The guard didn't see Wang Dan's strange behavior, he just thought it was because Wang Dan was too excited, nodded his head desperately, and said excitedly: "Yes, Lord Inspector, our Lord Governor specially sent me to announce the good news to Lord Inspector, not only our Changsha County, but even Most of the locusts in Wuling County next door are almost dead, and I heard that even the locusts in Yangzhou are almost dead."

Wang Dan's body softened, and he slumped down on the chair, his face pale.

The messenger who reported the letter wanted to say something more, but Wang Dan suddenly broke down and broke out. He threw the teacup on the ground and shouted angrily, "Get out!"

The guard didn't know why Wang Dan got so angry, he was so frightened that he ran away on the spot.

Of course, Wang Dan knew in his heart that the locust plague had disappeared, which meant that the imperial court was right to dismiss his uncle Wang Chong from the position of prime minister, but it was in accordance with God's will, and his uncle Wang Chong had no possibility of reinstatement.

Once the Langya Wang family loses the position of prime minister, can they continue to maintain their status as the number one family in the world? Are other officials still willing to continue to attach themselves to the royal party? What should their royal family do in the future?

He didn't understand what demon method Xiao Jie had used to completely wipe out the plague of locusts by himself without the cooperation of the Jingzhou local government.

A series of worries made Wang Dan feel extremely depressed, but he really didn't know what to do, but he had no choice but to write a memorial to the court in Luoyang to eliminate the locust plague. If you take the initiative to report, the consequences will only be more serious.

He didn't know what kind of waves would be caused in the court once his memorial was submitted...

……

Zhao Feng looked left and right by himself, and after making sure that no one was following him, he boldly patted the door.

A voice came from inside the door: "Who is it?"

Zhao Feng replied in a low voice with some guilty conscience: "I am Zhao Feng, the magistrate of Xiangyang County, and His Royal Highness Qi Wang asked me to come."

The door opened quickly, and Zhao Feng glanced around guiltily before stepping into the house.

He didn't know why King Qi Xiao Jie was looking for him, but he knew that King Qi had many enemies in Xiangyang City. If other officials knew that he had contacts with King Qi, he might not be able to be in Xiangyang or even Jingzhou in the future. The officialdom gained a foothold.

But King Qi didn't dare to refuse him, so he could only sneak up to see Xiao Jie.

"Your Majesty sees His Royal Highness King Qi."

As soon as he was brought in front of Xiao Jie, Zhao Feng bowed his head and bowed.

Xiao Jie smiled slightly, and greeted Zhao Feng warmly: "Get up, Zhao Xiancheng, we haven't seen each other for a long time."

Zhao Feng stood up cautiously, lowered his head a little guilty, and said: "Your Highness takes care of everything every day, and I don't dare to disturb you."

Xiao Jie tapped lightly on the table with his finger, and said with a smile: "I'm going to write a memorial to report the victory to the imperial court. I want to add the name of Zhao Xiancheng at the end of the memorial. I don't know what Zhao Xiancheng wants?"

Zhao Feng stopped breathing suddenly, raised his head, and looked at Xiao Jie with disbelief.

Of course he understands how much credit it is to extinguish the locust plague. If King Qi also allows him to be among them, then he can at least be promoted to the county magistrate.

"Thank you, Your Highness, for your kindness in cultivating me. From now on, I am willing to follow His Highness's lead."

Zhao Feng immediately knelt down to Xiao Jie again and kowtowed a few times, whoever can make him an official and a nobleman will be Zhao Feng's reborn parents.

Xiao Jie smiled faintly: "I don't need you to rub my brains. Since I helped you, I hope you can do me a favor too."

"His Royal Highness just open the mouth, and the lower officials will definitely help."

Zhao Feng was overjoyed, it was just a favor, and it was worth it for such a great contribution.

Xiao Jie smiled slightly, and said: "You wrote a memorial to the court, reported Jingzhou Governor Wang Dan for ignoring the locust disaster, and having fun with prostitutes..."

The smile on Zhao Feng's face froze. Wang Dan was the governor of Jingzhou, and he overshadowed the sky in Jingzhou. If he reported him, how could he survive in the officialdom of Jingzhou in the future.

Xiao Jie seemed to have read his mind, and continued to smile: "I know you are worried that you will be retaliated by Wang Dan afterwards, but you might as well think about it, if you hand over the report of the prosecution, Wang Dan, the governor of Jingzhou, can still do it. go down?"

Zhao Feng is still hesitating. After all, even if Wang Dan is no longer the governor of Jingzhou, the Wang family is just as powerful, and he dare not offend no matter what.

Xiao Jie shook his head, and said: "I don't like being forced to do things by others, since you don't want to, forget it, you go, just pretend that I haven't seen you, but I believe there will always be someone who is willing to write this memorial to report Wang Dan in exchange for I have made great progress by myself."

After Xiao Jie finished speaking, he waved his hand, his personal soldiers were about to take Zhao Feng away, but Zhao Feng knelt down in front of Xiao Jie all of a sudden.

"Your Highness, I am willing to write this memorial to the king's governor!"

He thought about it clearly, he wanted to take a gamble, he didn't want to be a small county magistrate for the rest of his life, why so many officials in Xiangyang City sent him to meet King Qi? They don't care whether they will be beaten to death by King Qi if they deliberately touch the bad luck of King Qi.

That being the case, why not do King Qi a big favor directly in exchange for a fortune.

Xiao Jie nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "It's good if you can figure it out, trust me, once you hand over your memorial, I can guarantee that you will be the governor of Nanyang County, and I will protect you. I guarantee that no one in Jingzhou will dare to find you." Your trouble."

Zhao Feng couldn't help but brighten up...
