"What do you think?" Even Xie Yuan himself didn't notice that there was a little expectation in his voice.

Jiang Mingyue nodded.

"How about we add a cure for smallpox?"

Xie Yuan's expression rarely changed slightly.

"Smallpox? Is it the smallpox I know?"

Jiang Mingyue said 'hmm'.

"Do you know how to cure smallpox?"

You must know that every time smallpox breaks out, many people will die. Once infected with smallpox, they can only resign themselves to their fate.

The third emperor of Da Chu accidentally contracted smallpox and died in his prime.

At that time, the entire imperial hospital was mobilized, but they could not save him. Even most of the imperial doctors died. From then on, all the emperors of Da Chu paid great attention to smallpox.

The first thing emperors did after coming to power was to order people from the Taiyuan Hospital to study how to cure smallpox, but until now, there have been no results.

Jiang Mingyue looked at Xie Yuan, who looked serious, and nodded gently. She wanted to accumulate some blessings for her children and grandchildren, and she also wanted to help her husband and Luan Yi.

"In the past, I once heard a monk say that cowpox can prevent smallpox. If you get vaccinated with cowpox, you will not get smallpox again. Although cowpox is also a disease, the risk is very small. After a person gets it, he may get several pox. It may cause fever, but it’s nowhere near as severe as smallpox and can be easily cured.”

"Vaccinium?" This is the first time Xie Yuan has heard of it.

"Well, when I was young, I didn't understand what Fan Seng meant. Later, when I got a little older, I consciously looked for cows and people who had pox.

Five years ago, a smallpox outbreak broke out in a village over there. All the people died, but only that person survived. I sent someone to ask that person. He had had cowpox before, but the details were still unclear. People from the hospital are needed to research and experiment. "

After hearing what his wife said, Xie Yuan was excited and happy, and his mind suddenly became more active. After taking a few breaths to calm down, he kissed his wife on the forehead.

"Mingyue, you have really done us a great favor. If the cowpox thing is feasible, then the Bo family will be a great contributor to Da Chu, and the Holy Emperor will definitely pardon the Bo family."

Jiang Mingyue said softly, "Hmm," and then said: "I also know a treatment method that can speed up the healing of wounds."

"What method?" With cowpox in front of him, Xie Yuan suddenly became excited.

"Stitches!"

"You mean to suture the wound?" Xie Yuan asked uncertainly.

"Yes, torn clothes can be sewn, and the same goes for wounds, but it's best to use sutures made from sheep intestines, so that you don't have to remove the stitches after the wounds heal.

And I also know that if a woman gives birth to a fetus that is too big to be born, she can use a side incision to make a small incision and then sew it up after the baby is born. This way, fewer people will die from dystocia. "

"Is this what the monk told you?"

"The side incision was told to me by a female doctor."

Jiang Mingyue paused and looked at her husband and said, "With this, no one will doubt the authenticity of the medical book, right?"

Xie Yuan shook his head gently.

"Not only will there be no doubt, but once this medical book comes out, it will definitely shock the whole country. I'm going to have a chat with Uncle Luan. Maybe our previous plan can be changed a little."

After saying that, Xie Yuan let go of his wife and called Zhou Bin in.

"You go back to Wanping now, invite Doctor Luan from Huichun Hall, and tell him that I have something important to discuss with him."

Luan Yi arrived very quickly and entered Beijing at noon.

Seeing him coming, Jiang Mingyue stood up and ordered Pingguo to get another pair of bowls and chopsticks, and then said to Xie Yuan, "You guys talk!"

Xie Yuan nodded slightly.

Luan Yi saw Jiang Mingyue leaving, walked to Xie Yuan, sat down and asked, "You called me here in such a hurry, what happened?"

Xie Yuan handed him a cup of tea: "It's a good thing."

He paused and said, "If you do this well, not only will the Holy Spirit forgive your Bo family, but your Bo family may also be famous throughout the ages."

Luan Yi was suddenly shocked.

"how do I say this?"

Xie Yuan immediately told Luan Yi about the cowpox.

Luan Yi stood up suddenly. He walked around the house excitedly and said, "I remembered that twenty years ago, there was an outbreak of smallpox in our place. There was only one person in every village who was good at raising cattle." Most of the people in the village survived, probably because of the cowpox."

He turned his head and looked at Xie Yuan.

"You are so lucky to have a good wife."

He paused and said, "My luck is not bad either."

After saying that, he laughed heartily.

After a cup of tea, Luan Yi calmed down and walked to Xie Yuan's side to sit down.

"Have you really thought about it? You want to write about cowpox in a medical book?"

Xie Yuan nodded firmly.

"Don't regret it?" Luan Yi stared at Xie Yuan and asked again.

Xie Yuan smiled and looked at Luan Yi and asked, "When you developed hallucinogenic drugs for me, did you ever regret it?"

"That's different."

"But it looks the same to me."

Xie Yuan looked at Luan Yi sincerely.

"There are only a few people I care about, and you are one of them. I will help you achieve what you want."

Luan Yi smiled when he heard this, and his eyes slowly turned red as he smiled. He was so moved that Xie Yuan had given a huge amount of great contributions to the Bo family.

Luan Yi stood up and bowed solemnly to Xie Yuan.

"Thank you on behalf of the entire Bo family."

Xie Yuan helped Luan Yi up.

"You're welcome."

"With the method to prevent and control smallpox, our previous plan will have to change." Luan Yi said.

"Let's put the plan aside for now. Apart from cowpox, Mingyue also told me two things."

Luan Yi exclaimed: "There is more?"

Xie Yuan nodded and told Luan Yi about the sutures and side incision.

Luan Yi patted his forehead.

"How stupid of me! Why didn't I think of sutures?"

"I'm half a doctor, but I never thought that wounds could be treated in this way. The suture method is very suitable for use on the battlefield."

"Yes, I have never heard of this kind of lateral incision, but this method should be feasible, because I have treated several pregnant women with dystocia. They were unable to give birth because the fetus was too big and the birth canal was too small. Some even gave birth. , the birth canal will also be torn open, so the lateral incision method is excellent. Once this method spreads, it can save many lives like cowpox."

Luan Yi turned his head and looked at Xie Yuan.

"I didn't expect your wife to have such an adventure when she was a child."

Xie Yuan had been filled with emotion before, but there were many strange people and strange things in Yuanjiang Mansion. His wife was kind-hearted and beautiful, and she didn't care about anything she encountered. It was hard not to be liked, and it was normal to encounter strange things.

"What do you think about the medical book?"

Luan Yi paused and said, "I think you might as well hand it over to the court. It would be beneficial to both of us."

When Xie Yuan heard this, he did not speak immediately, but fell into deep thought.
