Become a feudal king from today

"Is this cowpox?"

In the palace, Shi Zhengui, Hu Yan, Liu Fu and other medical officers and officials surrounded a cow.

He stared at the bulging ulcers and pustules on the cow's belly without blinking.

For them, if King Yan did not lie to them, these cowpox-stricken soldiers were the only way to crack Beidi's sinister plan.

"Yes, this is cowpox." Zhao Xu nodded.

At the same time, he also breathed a sigh of relief.

Cowpox is originally an infectious disease among cattle.

As long as there is one cow, he can use this cow to infect other cows and obtain more cowpox pus.

However, it takes time to transmit cowpox to other cows.

The virus takes about nine days to cause cowpox to develop in cattle.

But Beidi would not give him enough time to prepare.

Therefore, the more cows that can be found with cowpox, the better.

Of course, even so, you still have to prepare for it.

After all, in this situation, he needs to have a continuous supply of cowpox available.

You must also be prepared to infect other cows and provide cowpox production.

So, he said to Liu Fu: "Have all the cattle in Guanzhuang been gathered together?"

"Back to Your Highness, eight hundred cattle have been driven outside Yancheng, and other official villages are still sending them." Liu Fu said.

These cattle were originally stolen from Beidi.

Originally they were only raised for plowing, so they were bare meat.

Unexpectedly, it can still play such a significant role now.

He thought that if the Beidi people knew about this, they would be furious to death.

Zhao Xu nodded and looked at the cow in front of him.

Then he asked Liu Fu and other officials to go out, leaving only Shi Zhengui, Hu Yan and others.

Before teaching them the method of vaccination, he decided to announce something to them.

"This cowpox vaccination requires each of you to keep it a secret and not to disclose it to others, otherwise I will not be lenient." Zhao Xu said sternly.

When he asked Liu Fu to be sick of cows, he just asked him to make up another reason.

Buy the sick cow and give it to the people in exchange for a normal cow.

He made no mention of the relationship between smallpox and cowpox.

He did this to prevent the news from reaching Beidi.

In this way, he could gradually complete the vaccination of the royal soldiers without Beidi's knowledge.

Otherwise, Beidi would have taken a more drastic approach to spreading smallpox and would not have given him time to be vaccinated.

And this is what he doesn't want to see.

At the same time, Beidi believes that the spread is successful, so he will wait with peace of mind.

It can also buy time for the modification of rifled guns.

"Yes, Your Highness."

Hu Yan, Shi Zhengui and others said in unison.

"Also, I will establish the fourth university besides the three universities, Yanzhou Medical Academy. If you perform well this time, you will become the first batch of students of Yanzhou Medical Academy, and the director of the school will also be there. Born among you." Zhao Xu continued.

Just now it was a warning, now it is giving them sweet dates.

This crisis made him feel the need to establish Yanzhou's medical system.

In this way, Yanzhou will not panic when faced with this situation in the future.

At the same time, a lot of babies died in infancy in ancient times, and even the imperial family could not avoid it.

In addition, there are various injuries and illnesses, which are all factors that limit population enhancement.

If Yanzhou's medical care can be improved, these problems will be solved.

Furthermore, he intends to add another unit to the royal army, the medical corps.

In this way, soldiers will not die from minor injuries on the battlefield.

Of course, the most important thing is that after the medical school is established, he can teach them the medical technology in his mind.

Let them also build laboratories to develop various types of drugs.

"Yanzhou Medical Hall?" Hu Yan suddenly became excited.

The Three Great Halls are famous in Yanzhou. Who doesn’t want to become a student of His Highness King Yan?

He did not expect that one day, their medical officers would receive such treatment.

Shi Zhengui was startled. This time Zhao Heng assigned him to King Yan, and he was already King Yan's man.

When he was in the medical clinic, he just wanted to hang out in Yanzhou and end his life.

But the cowpox incident made him look at King Yan with new eyes.

Now, King Yan proposed to establish Yanzhou Medical Hall.

They must be taught something as rare as cowpox.

For someone like him who likes to delve into medical skills, the temptation is not small.

He hurriedly said: "Your Highness, can I also join the Medical Hall?"

"Unless you move your whole family to Yanzhou." Zhao Xu said lightly.

He naturally knew that Shi Zhengui would be his when he came to Yanzhou, but this was not enough.

Once the powerful people use his family to force him, no one can guarantee whether he will betray.

When the time comes, what he teaches will be used as wedding clothes for powerful people.

"It's simple. I will send a letter to the capital immediately and ask my wife, children and mother to bring their family to Yanzhou." Shi Zhengui said hurriedly, fearing that Zhao Xu would not agree.

For him, living in the capital was not comfortable. On the contrary, there were not so many intrigues in Yanzhou.

Hu Yan's fight with him was just a fight between doctors, and he was not given any shoes to wear.

"In this case, I will leave a place for you." Zhao Xu said.

Immediately, he faced everyone and said, "And anyone who enters the medical school will be able to get the salary of the government office in the future. In the future, I will also establish a medical and health department, and the outstanding ones can serve as officials." Zhao Xu once again threw out an important question pound bomb.

In ancient times, people were divided into the upper nine streams, the middle nine streams and the lower nine streams.

Doctors only belong to the middle and ninth ranks, and are not even as good as merchants.

The status is just a little higher than that of a prostitute.

As soon as he launched this move, he undoubtedly expressed his recognition of their identity.

Sure enough, his words trailed off.

Not only Hu Yan, but even Shi Zhengui was stunned.

The faces of other apprentices, Xue Sun, were even flushed.

What King Yan said made them feel proud.

"Your Highness!" Hu Yan suddenly shouted, leaning down and kowtow, "Your Highness's kindness will be unforgettable to me."

It was a great favor for King Yan to establish a medical hall specifically for them.

Now they are even given official positions.

Throughout the ages, when have they ever had such an honor?

After all, they are now called medical officers, but in fact it is just a title, similar to a member of staff.

The officials mentioned by King Yan were real government officials.

Zhao Xu helped Hu Yan up, "Don't be too happy. As I said at the beginning, whether you can enjoy this honor ultimately depends on you."

"Don't worry, Your Highness, we won't say a word about this cowpox incident." Hu Yan promised, patting his chest.

Zhao Xu nodded with satisfaction, "This is best. In this case, I will now show you how to vaccinate with cowpox, but before that, you must choose someone who is willing to vaccinate with cowpox."

After thinking for a while, he said: "In order to reassure the soldiers and the people, the cowpox vaccination should start with me."
