When a passerby becomes a princess

Knowing that there was a strange disease in the camp, Liang Xi and Lin Qiu did as Lin Lian expected, not only refused to leave, but insisted on going to Bai's hometown to check on the patients.Of course, they didn't just go in like this, but according to Lin Qiu's request, covered their mouths and noses with thick cloth soaked in white vinegar, and wore thick cloth coats on their bodies before going in.

At first Lin Lian refused to agree no matter what, but later Lin Qiu persuaded him.

"Didn't daddy say that the sons of the Lin family are the best, and nothing can stop the sons of the Lin family? Now I may be able to cure this strange disease, why not let me try?" Lin Qiu Looking at Lin Lian, her clear eyes seemed to say "I'm also the son of the Lin family".

Lin Lian opened his mouth, but he couldn't say the words to stop him. Those words were not actually said by the general to passerby A, but existed in Lin Qiu's childhood memory.Lin Qiu was in very poor health when he was a child. Almost every time when Lin Lian came home, he could see Lin Qiu lying sick in bed. Every time Lin Lian used these words to encourage Lin Qiu, but unexpectedly, he was caught by a passerby. I found this memory and used it to comfort Lin Lian.The silly father cried bitterly in his heart, but the general could only watch his precious son walk into Bai's hometown with red eyes.

After carefully examining most of the sick soldiers, Lin Qiu was sure that they had smallpox.

It stands to reason that Passerby A, who was born in the game world, should not know it, but as I said before, that game is an extremely realistic game. The history spans from the end of the Northern Song Dynasty to the Qianlong period of the Qing Dynasty, and there is a very famous emperor in the middle. He once had smallpox, and the game still uses it as a task, requiring the player to treat the emperor, so passerby A knows about smallpox.

However, knowing smallpox does not mean being able to cure smallpox. Human beings can only prevent and treat smallpox so far, but have not found a specific medicine to treat smallpox patients. Therefore, in the game, the treatment of the emperor is just a medicine called "panacea". , and there is no recipe for how to configure it.

But where is there any panacea in this world, even if there is, there is no way to treat three or four thousand people.

It was the first time that Lin Qiu frowned so tightly that Liang Xi hugged him worriedly, patted his head, and said, "Don't worry, the general has sent a letter to Emperor Father, I believe that the royal father will send the imperial doctor in the palace soon, and this little problem can be cured in one go."

But Lin Qiu didn't feel comforted at all when he heard his words. Instead, he frowned even tighter and said: "The patients who have been infected with smallpox are basically incurable, and the mortality rate is extremely high. Even if you send an imperial doctor, it should be useful." Not too big."

Lin Lian immediately became nervous when he heard this conclusion, and said, "Then what should we do now?"

Although other people in the camp have no symptoms for the time being, they are only "temporarily asymptomatic". Who knows how many of them have been infected?If the disease continues to spread, the 10 people in the camp will be wiped out.

Lin Qiu thought for a while and said, "Although there is no medicine to cure the patient yet, I have a way to prevent it."

Lin Lian was overjoyed when he heard this, and quickly followed Lin Qiu's instructions. After a few days, all the nearby cattle breeders were brought.

"Qiu'er, are you sure you can get that cowpox?" Lin Lian looked at the scene of thousands of cows barking outside the camp, the corners of his mouth and eyes were twitching.Because the terrain in northern Xinjiang is relatively flat and suddenly not fertile, there are more people raising cattle, sheep and other livestock, so after Lin Lian's order went down, hundreds of cattle were brought in from the nearby counties alone.

"It should be possible." Lin Qiu nodded, thought for a while and added: "If it doesn't work, Daliang Kingdom will probably perish."

"What?!" Lin Lian's face changed drastically, he hugged Lin Qiu, hurriedly returned to his coach's mansion, and after closing the door, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "How can such words be spoken outside casually?" explain?"

Lin Qiu looked at Lin Lian with some doubts, and said, "Smallpox can be transmitted through droplets, that is to say, as long as two people stand together talking and chatting, they may be infected, and the infection rate is also extremely high. It is also extremely high, if the infection continues to expand, Daliang has a population of less than 5000 million, and remote areas may be fine, but large towns are likely to have large-scale outbreaks of smallpox because of the dense population."

Lin Qiu seldom speaks so long at once. His knowledge of smallpox comes entirely from the introduction in the game. He already knows that the world he used to be is just a virtual world, but the above knowledge is not fake. He has verified many Again, the various information and data given in it are also true.

In the history of Daliang Kingdom, there has never been an outbreak of smallpox, just like the former Inca Empire, because it has never seen smallpox, and there is no such antibody in the body, so when the Spaniards brought smallpox to America, tens of millions The Incas ended up with less than 100 million people left.

Lin Lian still had some disapproval in his heart, but hearing what Lin Qiu said was serious, he had no choice but to swallow what he originally wanted to say.However, General Lin was easy to talk to his precious son, but he became more and more resentful towards Huzi.

The scout camp had the most cases, and the first person to get sick was one of the few scouts who had been captured before. It was obvious that the disease was intentionally transmitted to these scouts by Beard, and they were taken to the Northern Xinjiang Camp from here.

In fact, no one in Hu State had suffered from smallpox before, but the prince Huval of Hu State imprisoned the old emperor and led a group of tribes to launch a war against Daliang State. Some nobles who originally relied on the old emperor were afraid of Huval's accession to the throne After retaliation, he packed up his family and fled to Ouxi State, west of Hu State, where some of them were infected with the smallpox that was prevalent in Ouxi State.

If Lin Lian visits the Ouxi Kingdom, he will know that Lin Qiu is definitely not alarmist. Now the Ouxi Kingdom is full of corpses. In just two years, the population has dropped by more than half, and the whole country is immersed in despair. It was caused by smallpox.

The nobles who had fled to Ouxi Kingdom were frightened and ran back in a hurry.Because the weather had turned cold when they came back, and the northern part of Hu State had already started to snow. The scope is popular, and there is no large-scale outbreak.

At this time, the national teacher Hu Zan, who was lobbying around on the grassland, discovered these nobles. As a national teacher, Hu Zan's mind was definitely first-class. He had tried his best to minimize the horror of smallpox, but Hu Zan guessed the general situation. He gasped first, and then immediately became ecstatic.

The biggest difference between Daliang State and Hu State is that Daliang State has more mountains and less flat land, so that the population of Daliang State is relatively concentrated, and the climate of Daliang State is warmer than that of Hu State, which can be said to be very suitable for the epidemic of smallpox.

So Hu Zan brought a few nobles to the Hu State camp in northern Xinjiang. Who knew that most of these nobles died of fright on the way, and the remaining few also fell ill and died after arriving.Fortunately, Hu Zan had asked Ouxi how to prevent disease and dispose of corpses before, and knew that corpses would also be contagious, so he set up a tent at the edge of the camp and put all the corpses inside, so as not to infect Hu Guo. After the soldiers caught those scouts, they threw them in the tent where the corpses were placed. Naturally, no one would guard them afterward. I wish they would flee back to Daliang country as soon as possible.

If it is said that passer-by A did not travel to Daliang country, or if passer-by A did not cross over to become a princess, but was just an ordinary citizen, then the conspiracy of Hu Zan, the national teacher of Hu country, might have succeeded.

If you want to prevent smallpox, you need cowpox, and cowpox is grown out of cows that have smallpox.

In fact, Lin Qiu didn't mind contacting smallpox patients at all, as long as enough defenses were taken, smallpox was not so easy to be infected.But neither General Lin Lian nor His Royal Highness Prince Liang Xi would let Lin Qiu do it himself.The two have always agreed that breaking the pustule of a smallpox patient and infecting a cow with smallpox... It would be too unsuitable for Lin Qiu, who is like a crystal, to do such a thing.

Fortunately, there are still many doctors, especially the two doctors who invited themselves to treat soldiers in Baijia Township. One of them had obvious symptoms of smallpox, and the other had already started to have a fever. They were all excited when they heard that smallpox could be cured. They had to applaud again and again, so the job of making the cow sick was handed over to them two.

In fact, Lin Qiu didn't know that even if there was no cowpox, it would be possible to use only the scabs of smallpox patients to "fight the virus with poison". It's just that the reputation of cowpox is too great, and that game only talked about this method. So it inevitably took some time, so that after the cowpox came out, it had already been a month. Fortunately, Lin Qiu taught them to open the windows, let the cold air kill the germs as much as possible, and sterilize them with lime and vinegar fumigation, so The number of people who get sick is not many.

When the next year’s spring is warm and the flowers are blooming, it was originally the time when Hu Guoguo’s teacher Hu Zan predicted that smallpox would break out. Except for the more than 3000 people who got sick at the beginning, only less than 1000 people were found in the northern Xinjiang camp.

At the end of March, Liang Honglie issued an imperial decree to inoculate everyone in northern Xinjiang with vaccinia. In May, all regions of the country were vaccinated with vaccinia, and money was allocated from the internal treasury to allow the people of Daliang to vaccinate for free. .

Because by May, the newspapers in Beimo County had spread to all parts of the country through merchants, and the horror of smallpox and the effect of cowpox had also spread to the whole country through newspapers.

"Qiu'er, do you think we should publish a "Daliang Guo Daily"?" Liang Xi asked Lin Qiu while wiping his sweat after practicing.

"Then we have to create a nationwide postal system." Lin Qiu teased Xiao Liangyu in the cradle with a rattle.

The little prince is not interested in the rattle in front of him at all, he keeps patting his little fleshy palms, spitting out small bubbles and wants to be hugged, but because of his jealous prince brother, the beautiful boy in front of him is already very tired. Not holding him for a long time made him very depressed.
