In the days when I was dressed as the king of a subjugated country

There were some guests in the inn, but they all hid outside the door at this time.Seeing Geng Chongming dragging people out, the crowd stepped aside and looked at him fearfully and vigilantly.

It seems that no one can help.

Geng Chongming took great pains to get him to the medical bureau. The doctor was shocked when he saw it, and said to Geng Chongming, "This is smallpox!"

Geng Chongming sat alone outside the medical bureau. Not long after, the government sent people to surround the medical bureau, questioned Geng Chongming again, and ordered him not to wander around.

Geng Chongming said: "My wife and daughter are still in the inn."

As soon as the words were finished, she saw Ruan Niang carrying her luggage and leading Lan'er to look for her.Still holding half a potato omelette in her hand, Lan Er cried to Geng Chongming: "The inn kicked me and my mother out, we are not allowed to stay!"

Geng Chongming patted her head and said: "The medical bureau may be able to sleep, I'll go and talk to the doctors. Don't be sad, Lan'er. After this matter is over, Dad will buy you pancakes."

The doctors in the Medical Bureau are in a mess, and they don't have time to take care of them.In addition to treating patients, he also had to deal with the government's interrogation. Not long after, the magistrate also rushed over and strode into the medical bureau.

Geng Chongming didn't know what the magistrate and the doctors had talked about, and after almost half an hour, the magistrate came out, glanced at Geng Chongming, and asked, "You sent the man here?"

Geng Chongming nodded and asked, "Where are the three servants?"

The county magistrate sneered and said, "You really like to worry, don't worry, the county has ordered people to detain these three people alone. You don't want to sit at the gate of the medical bureau anymore, come with the county."

Zhixian took the three of them back to the inn.The inn was no longer surrounded by officers and soldiers, and the guests inside had to find another place to live.The rooms were all empty, three of them were occupied by three servants, and Geng Chongming and the others could pick the rest.

When the shopkeeper of the inn saw the magistrate, he immediately cried miserably to him, and asked him how to do business in this circle.The county magistrate reprimanded: "Why are you so unclear? If smallpox breaks out this day, let alone doing business, I'm afraid your life will be ruined!"

Geng Chongming asked from the side: "Isn't there any vaccination in the local area?"

The county magistrate said: "It's planted, but who knows if it will work."

Geng Chongming couldn't be sure that vaccinia would work, so he could only go back to the inn worried.

Early the next morning, the Medical Bureau boiled a decoction, which was delivered by the yamen servants.However, in the afternoon, the three servants still showed symptoms of high fever one after another.Ruan Niang felt uneasy when she saw it, and privately grabbed Geng Chongming's clothes and said to him: "Master, you have martial arts skills, why don't you take us away from here? It's always good to stay away from those patients!"

Geng Chongming asked: "Then if we get sick and go to other places, wouldn't it be harming people?"

Geng Chongming knew that she was afraid, so he comforted her: "Don't worry, we've all been vaccinated, and nothing will happen."

Geng Chongming actually had no idea in his heart, comforted his wife and daughter, and fell asleep full of worries.However, before the next morning, he was awakened by a knock on the door.

Geng Chongming stood up, put on his clothes, and walked quickly to the door.The door of the inn was knocked open, and a group of common people rushed in aggressively, asking Xiaoer, "Where does the foreigner with acne live?"

Geng Chongming quickly woke up the girl, hugged Lan'er, left the room, and hid in the backyard of the inn.

Those gangsters searched the front yard like bandits, shouting loudly, and could vaguely hear: "We need to find them and burn them to death as soon as possible! Otherwise, if the acne spreads, we will all be in bad luck!"

"Exactly! Several servants of the overseas businessman have fallen ill. These foreigners have been in contact with them, and they have only fallen ill for a few days!"

"Jiangzhi County tolerates traitors, we must not be confused!"

Geng Chongming heard the group of people's footsteps coming towards the backyard, Lan'er was so frightened that she shrank into his arms with tears in her eyes and dared not speak out.

Gritting his teeth, Geng Chongming swept his eyes and saw the hatchet sticking in the corner of the firewood room, showing hesitation.

If he picked up the knife again, would he still be able to wash the blood off his hands?Will His Majesty give him another chance?

Just as Geng Chongming was at war with heaven and man, the voice of Jiangzhi County sounded: "Retire, all of you!"

Not far away came his scolding: "I have made my own arrangements for the epidemic. These three foreigners are not ill. How can you kill someone so arbitrarily?! I will remember all your faces. , If you don’t back down, one counts as another, and they are all counted as lawless thugs!”

There was silence for a while.

After a moment's pause, one person said, "Hey, Jiang Zhi County's defense of these three foreigners is taking advantage of these people?"

The magistrate Jiang said indifferently: "If you feel that I have taken advantage of it, you can go to the capital to sue me with evidence! Don't think that your uncle is the magistrate of Huzhou, so I dare not touch you."

The man said angrily: "Jiang Dading, since you know that my uncle is the prefect of Huzhou, well, I will invite my uncle to come forward today, and I must burn these three sick foreigners to death!"

Jiang Zhixian shouted: "Come here, Feng Kong gathered a crowd to make trouble, take him down!"

The shouting and cursing gradually died down, Feng Kong, whose uncle was the magistrate, was arrested, and the rest of the bandits had no choice but to disperse without a leader.

Geng Chongming and his wife and daughter made a false alarm. When they came out of the firewood house, Jiang Zhixian hadn't left yet, and waited outside the three people's guest room with someone.

Geng Chongming stopped in his tracks and thanked him, "Thank you Jiangzhi County for saving my life."

The county magistrate sighed and said, "Come with me, you need to change your residence."

Although the man named Feng Kong has been imprisoned, the servants have sneaked to Huzhou to bring in reinforcements.When the magistrate of Jiang knew about this, he could no longer stop people. He was worried, and when he was thinking about how to deal with his immediate boss, the magistrate of Huzhou, he suddenly heard that smallpox had broken out in Huzhou!

It turned out that overseas businessmen also came to Huzhou Prefecture. One infected two, and two infected four. The outbreak broke out very quickly.The magistrate of Jiang County didn't care about so much, so he hurriedly organized the training of Xiangyong and closed the county seat, fearing that people infected with the epidemic in Huzhou Prefecture would run around and come to their county.

In other counties like Jiangzhi County, there are not many closed counties, and most of them are a little unresponsive. Jiangzhi County waited anxiously for a few days, and had people guard the gate of the county all day long, and sent people to other counties to inquire However, no one in other counties was infected with smallpox.

However, Geng Chongming and his wife and daughter were placed in the abandoned house by Jiangzhi County for these days, but there is still no sign of illness.

Jiang Zhixian couldn't help wondering, could it be that he did a good job, so he controlled the smallpox?

But other county magistrates didn't respond as quickly as he did. How come none of the county residents were infected with smallpox?

If there's one thing they have in common, it's probably...they've all been vaccinated?

Gu Li knew about the outbreak of smallpox in Jiangyin Mansion immediately.He has told officials from all over the country to vaccinate against vaccinia.

He immediately replaced the officials of Jiangyin Mansion, took them to Beijing, and sent another batch of Beijing officials to deal with smallpox.Some of the imperial doctors who had treated smallpox patients also went with them.

In addition to Jiangyin Mansion, there were more than ten cases of smallpox patients in two places. Gu Li methodically sent people there.

He also remembered that there might be an outbreak of smallpox this year, so he had prepared in advance so that he would not mess up his hands and feet when dealing with it. However, other courtiers were not as calm as him. They were worried about smallpox, and even thought that Gu Li should not rashly open the sea to ban it. However, if smallpox spreads, it is unknown how many people will suffer.

Regarding the concerns of the courtiers, Gu Li understood, and advised them not to worry too much, if smallpox really wanted to spread in, it would be able to spread in even if the sea ban was not lifted, and they had been vaccinated before, so it would not be a big deal.

Looking at these courtiers, Gu Li couldn't help but wonder, if Feng Feng was here, he would definitely seize this good opportunity and use the sea ban to mobilize public opinion to criticize him.

This little fox never misses any chance to make trouble for him.

Thinking of this, Gu Li couldn't help laughing, wondering what happened to Feng Feng overseas?Smallpox was introduced by overseas businessmen, and it must have become more serious overseas. Fortunately, Feng Feng was inoculated with cowpox before.

The courtiers were skeptical, but after waiting for more than ten days, they still did not see smallpox spreading to the area north of the Yellow River, and according to reports from Jiangyin and other places, the infection of smallpox was not serious and was under control.

What is even more mysterious is that none of the officials and imperial physicians who went to prevent and control smallpox were infected with smallpox!

This time, even if you don't want to believe it, you have to believe it!

The courtiers lined up to enter the palace, and wanted to ask why His Majesty knew that the method of vaccinating could prevent smallpox!And vaccination with vaccinia is much less risky than vaccination with human pox.

Gu Li sent them away with a few words, and then heard someone suggest that there is a way to prevent and cure smallpox, it is really a big Chu, God bless, it should be celebrated.

Gu Li thought about it for a while, and refused. The Beijing officials and imperial physicians who went to Jiangyin Mansion and other places haven't come back yet, so let's talk about it after the smallpox control is over.

However, it is still necessary to take advantage of this Dongfeng to spread a wave of publicity. However, before he sent people to guide public opinion among the people, the people started blowing it up on their own.

"There has been acne in the south for so long, but we in Beizhili have been fine. It can be seen that our previous cowpox vaccination has worked!"

"No, I heard from a businessman in the south that those people with acne have never been vaccinated before. They are vaccinated, and they are fine if they come into contact with those patients!"

"God is sorry, it is our majesty who is wise!"

"My father and my grandfather both died of smallpox. From now on, my sons and grandchildren don't need to worry about smallpox anymore!"

"God bless Da Chu!"

"I want to go to the temple to burn incense, and ask the Bodhisattva to bless Your Majesty!"

Regardless of how lucky the people in Jiangnan and Jiangbei who had been vaccinated were, there was one person who was in a panic.

"Niuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

She was kicked out of the palace by Gu Li, and she lived in a small farm of her own. Her food and clothing expenses were greatly reduced, and her servants were also greatly reduced. Compared with before, she lived a very different life.And her beloved son, Prince Cheng, was living in the capital, and went to Jiufan, named the country, which was actually a circle. The mother and son were separated from each other, and no one could see the other.

Unexpectedly, smallpox broke out in the place where she lived. The Empress Dowager panicked and asked people to lock the farm to prevent anyone from entering or leaving. She stayed in the house all day without contacting anyone.

But after three or five days, she still had symptoms such as high fever and chills, and just yesterday, the damn herpes appeared on her decayed skin.

Hearing that vaccinia can really prevent smallpox, she sent people to find the cows infected with pox early in the morning, but when the sun went down, no servants brought back the good news.

The Empress Dowager couldn't hold back her bad temper and lost her temper. At this moment, she finally heard that the servant had returned and brought back a cow. The Empress Dowager rushed to the cowshed in Zhuangzi, not caring about the stench of the place. The Empress Dowager was trembling. , Squeeze out the acne pulp in the acne, and impatiently wipe it into the nostrils.

"This way... then nothing will happen..." The Queen Mother took a breath and finally settled down. Only then did she realize that it was too late for her to regret.

When he was in the imperial palace in the capital, the emperor ordered people to vaccinate everyone in the harem, but he never left her behind.But she only wanted to be the emperor because she wanted her life, and drove away all the imperial doctors who came to vaccinate.If she had known that this kind of vaccinia was really effective, she would not be so confused in saying anything!

Taking a look at the herpes on my hand, it was still itchy.Supported by her servants, the Queen Mother slowly returned to the dormitory, drank the medicine, and then lay down on the bed to rest, hoping that she would recover in the morning.

"By the way, what's wrong with Qin'er? When he was in the capital, he didn't get vaccinated, so he needed someone to send the pox paste to him..." Thinking of this, the Empress Dowager was exhausted and gradually fell asleep.

However, on the second day, instead of feeling better, she even felt weaker, unable to lift her arms, her mouth was dry and bitter, and her body kept shivering.

"What's going on... Aijia..."

The serving girl brought water and soup, fed them to the Queen Mother, and asked, "Your Majesty, do you want to call the doctor?"

The Empress Dowager was already in despair, a big rock was falling in her heart, which made her unable to breathe.She shook her head: "What's the use?! What's the use! They're all a bunch of quack doctors!"

The queen mother took a look at the herpes on her arm, and it had begun to fester and pus. The disgusting appearance made her, who always loves cleanliness, almost go crazy.

She looked at the girl and asked, "You have been serving me for so long, why haven't you uploaded it?"

The girl was trembling, knelt down and replied: "If you go back to the Empress Dowager, the slaves have been inoculated with cowpox when they were in the palace."

The queen mother looked at the girl's young and youthful skin, with a rosy and healthy luster. It was a time she could never get back no matter how she maintained it.Why is this world so unfair? She is the empress dowager of a country, but she has to endure this kind of torture. This girl is just a low-level commoner, but she is young and healthy!

Why?

The Empress Dowager suddenly went crazy, and with the strength she didn't know where she came from, she kicked the girl, jumped up and pinched her neck, and said bitterly: "Why? Why should Aijia have to lie on the bed and wait to die, you bitch Can it be unscathed?!"

The girl struggled desperately, but fortunately she was in good health, and her strength was much stronger than that of the Queen Mother, so she quickly broke free from the Queen Mother, crying in panic: "The Queen Mother has gone crazy!", and ran out of the room.

The Queen Mother stumbled, chased her out, and murmured: "Aijia doesn't want to die! Why must it be Aijia who dies? Gu Li, that stupid king, who brought Aijia to such a field, is safe and sound, Aijia must not just die like this Already!"

She turned to the direction of the cowshed and muttered: "Bull...cow! That's right! Yesterday's vaccination was useless, it must be because the dose was not enough!"

She rushed into the cowshed, grabbing the cow and trying to get the pimples on the milk.The cow was frightened and jumped up. The queen mother was thrown on the straw pile in the cowshed, dizzy, barely opened her eyes, and the cow had already stepped on it.

It is really unbelievable that the queen mother died in the cowshed.When Gu Li heard about this, he really didn't like the queen mother, so he sent someone to send a thousand bills. The funeral of the queen mother can only be handled by the housekeeper on the farm.

The smallpox control officials from Jiangyin Mansion and other places have not returned yet, but those local officials who have failed their duties have been sent to the capital first.After Gu Li handed over these people to Dali Temple for interrogation, he ruled that the dereliction of duty officials should be exiled to the frontier and their family property should be lost.

He specifically explained that this matter needs to be mentioned in the mansion newspaper. This is to give these people a warning, and secondly, he plans to sow potatoes on a large scale, which requires the active cooperation of local officials.

Potatoes can be planted twice a year. Spring potatoes are harvested, and autumn potatoes can be planted once in August.Moreover, potatoes do not have high requirements on the soil, and the yield is large. After the potatoes are harvested, this year's grain can be saved to deal with the next famine year.

Gu Li called the palace people who had received rewards for their merits in planting potatoes from Huangzhuang, and handed them over to Cui Shi, who then arranged for these people to go to various parts of the country to give guidance on potato planting.When Gu Li gave out the rewards earlier, he thought that among these people, there might be cases where the management personnel of the local Huangzhuang let the related households falsely claim credit. Sending these people out this time is just a good test.

The production of potatoes is large, and there are still a lot left after excluding those used to make seeds, so Gu Li asked Li Tang to arrange to distribute the potatoes to the clan and royal families all over the place, so that they can also taste the potatoes.

In modern times, it might be absurd for the monarch to send potatoes to his clan and courtiers, but the price of potatoes is still very expensive in Dachu. The royal family received the potatoes sent by His Majesty. Special products, sent to the palace as filial piety.

Gu Li made some publicity on distributing potatoes for seeding in the "Da Chu Morning News", encouraging farmers who did not receive potatoes to come to the capital to report the case. Dare to withhold potatoes privately, but you can imagine that these potatoes are sold at sky-high prices in the northern and southern Zhili areas. Only rich and noble people can eat these potatoes, but they are given to the common people for nothing. Some people praise His Majesty for being wise, and naturally others feel Meat hurts.

The common people heard that the government distributed potato seeds for free, and they couldn't believe it. When they saw that the bright yellow potatoes were really given away for free, and they didn't ask to hand over the harvest, they were all overjoyed.

It's just that although everyone received free potatoes, not everyone kept the potatoes for seeds.Because the potatoes are expensive, some farmers sell them for money.

Gu Li had expected this situation a long time ago.It doesn't really matter, as long as one-third of the potatoes are planted, the people of the country can be fed. As the production of potatoes increases, the price will gradually drop. If farmers want to grow potatoes in the coming year, it will cost a lot to buy seeds. Not much money.

There is just one situation that Gu Li did not expect.

Some folks actually set up a shrine for him, and there is one on the mountain outside the capital.Gu Li secretly took Xie Lian and Xiao Tan out to have a look, not to mention, the incense is quite prosperous.It's just that there are only potatoes on the table, isn't it a bit wasteful?

Gu Li quietly stood aside, listening to the chatter of the common people. It is nothing more than that this year's weather is good and the potatoes are easy to feed. It must be a good year, all thanks to His Majesty...

Gu Li was about to go back when he saw a man wearing a cloth scarf and wearing a shirt, dressed as a scribe, leading two children into the temple with a basket on his shoulders.

This person is actually Cui Shangshu.

Gu Li: ...

Gu Li couldn't help wondering, why did Cui Shangshu come here?

He hid aside and peeked, and saw Cui Shangshu took the basket carried by the book boy, took out a plate of potatoes, enshrined it on the table, took out a handful of incense, lit it, and bowed respectfully three times, and inserted in the censer.

The little book boy smiled and said, "Master, you will see His Majesty when you enter the palace, why don't you send these potatoes to the palace? What's the use of giving this clay sculpture and wood carving?"

Cui Shi spat: "Don't blaspheme the gods! The gods are inspired by the sincerity of the old man, and will naturally bless His Majesty!"

Gu Li can't laugh or cry, I feel Cui Shangshu's good intentions, but you come to my ancestral temple to ask other gods to bless me, isn't it wrong?And court cadres, can you stop engaging in this feudal superstition!

Alas, Mu Chengxiang, a gossip expert, Yang Sima, a health expert, and Cui Shangshu, a feudal superstition, can all fight landlords.

The little boy stuck out his tongue.Another little boy shook his head and said, "Mingyue, you just came here, so I don't understand. Our master's praying to God and worshiping Buddha is effective! My master worshiped Buddha before taking the imperial examination, and he was a top-ranked high school student! My master prayed to Buddha before the disaster relief, and everything is true! It went well. The last time the master was impeached, he worshiped in the Buddhist hall at home, and soon he was safe and sound!"

Cui Shi stroked his beard, smiled triumphantly, and said, "It's all because of my pious heart, which moved the heavens. Alas, your majesty is weak and has nothing to do. I pray to Bodhisattva today to bless your majesty with a strong body and a long life." A hundred years old, many children and grandchildren. Come and kneel down, both of you, and kowtow to the Bodhisattva Empress a few more times."

Gu Li laughed, thinking to himself that if he has a strong body, he can live a long life, but he doesn't need to have many children and grandchildren.He has a Zhen'er, and Fengfeng is already very angry. If there are more children, Fengfeng will not be able to blow up his Qianqing Palace.

Thinking of Chen Feng, his mood was instantly overshadowed.

It has been more than two months, and I don't know where the little fox has gone, and whether the journey has been smooth.

Chen Feng has arrived in Guli.

This place is very hot, and people with high noses and deep eyes, golden-brown skin can be seen everywhere, and occasionally blond-haired and blue-eyed aliens can be seen.

No... To the people here, they are people from other lands.

This place was called Tianzhu in the Tang Dynasty, and Master Xuanzang called it India after he came back from studying Buddhist scriptures.

It turned out that without knowing it, he had already left Da Chu so far.

Right now, what Chen Fengzheng is worrying about is another matter.

Just three days ago, their boat landed at the port of Guli. They originally planned to change vegetables, water, and rest for two days before continuing on the road.

Unexpectedly, smallpox broke out in the city!

The author has something to say: I originally wanted Feng Feng to come out for a while, but I didn't expect that he only showed his head.
