Super Chief

Major Fogg left, with a convoy full of dangdang cargo.

The refined salt produced by the Gaoshu tribe is naturally large, but in addition to a large amount of refined salt, the two kinds of goods, high-grade liquor and cigarettes, have also pulled a lot.

Major Fogg knew very well that compared to refined table salt, the high-grade liquor and cigarettes produced by the Gaoshu tribe have higher profits, especially the white cigarettes, which are simply astonishing.

The purchase price of this kind of cigarettes in a cardboard box is no more than one shilling a box, 30 sticks, but for external sale, the price of a box of ten shillings will make those wealthy smokers rush, even if it is a box It was sold at a sky-high price of one pound, and there were many noble smokers robbed it!

Even if the profits of liquor and salt add up, they are less than half of this cigarette!

This thing is the high-profit goods that can make people crazy.

If it weren't for the fact that Gaoshubu was unable to produce more cigarettes, and the people of this tribe seemed to be a group of smokers, Major Fogg really wanted to take away all the cigarettes produced by this tribe.

I just don't know how this cigarette is made. That kind of thin and tough cigarette paper is really rare. Now many alchemists in Jamestown are trying to make this kind of cigarette paper, but none of them can succeed.

There are also people who try to use ordinary paper to make this kind of cigarettes, but the ghost knows how the people of the Gaoshu tribe make these cigarettes so exquisite. Anyway, the cigarettes made by those in Jamestown who tried to make cigarettes are so terrible. .

If Jamestown can master this method of making cigarettes, several people, including himself, will definitely become the top rich in a short time.

Major Fogg, who was sitting in an ox cart, sighed, took out a box of cigarettes, hesitated for a moment, was not willing to smoke. But he still took out some shredded tobacco and a piece of hard yellow paper, and began to make hand-made cigarettes.

Although the alchemists in Jamestown did not produce cigarettes, this kind of imitation and crude version of hand-made cigarettes began to become popular in Jamestown.

Although this kind of hand-made cigarette is quite horrible, it is much more convenient than smoking a pipe, so this kind of hand-made cigarette with a thin front side and a thick back side quickly became popular.

Seeing Major Fogg's motorcade leave, Shi Xiong's brows gradually frowned.

Although Major Fogg brought a lot of things that were in short supply, it was nothing compared to the smallpox the major had previously proposed.

Smallpox has the same lethality to people anywhere in the world, whether it is a Chinese, a European or an Indian native of the New World, as long as they contract this horrible malignant infectious disease, the mortality rate is 40%. Basically it can't run.

At present, there is also China in Europe. Some people's pox vaccination can prevent smallpox. But on the New World side, the local indigenous people don't even have human pox vaccination. How can they resist the coming smallpox?

When the Spaniards first invaded Central and South America more than 260 years ago, they killed more than 20 million Indians living in Central and South America by relying on the vicious infectious disease of smallpox in just one hundred years. Smallpox, a vicious infectious disease, became the number one executioner of the Indian massacre.

In the original historical time and space, when the war alone broke out, the reason why the Americans were defeated by the British troops in the first place was largely because of the raging smallpox.

When the War of Independence broke out, it was the peak of the raging smallpox in Europe and America. However, the British army has been vaccinated due to pox, so few people died from smallpox in the British army, and the British army is not worried about smallpox infection.

But the American army is not good, because they are a "rebellious" army, so the "pox hospitals" (hospitals for vaccinations) in the thirteen colonies in North America were not open to the American army, so in the early stage of the war alone , American soldiers died in large numbers because of the ravages of smallpox.

The most terrible thing is that once smallpox begins to wreak havoc, no American soldier can insist on resisting the British. The fear of smallpox has long destroyed the psychological defenses of these American soldiers. Their fear of smallpox is far greater than resisting the British...

It is precisely for this reason that the American army, which occupied the right time and place, was beaten by the British army in the middle and early stages of the independent war.

But later, as human pox vaccination began to spread in the American army, the harm of smallpox to the American army became less and less, and the local Aedes mosquitoes began to spread malaria in the British army. The American army turned defeat into victory, and then established the United States, the world's largest country in the future.

Although the smallpox is still some distance away from the Gaoshu tribe, if the stone bear wants to join the new continent of North America, then contact with smallpox is inevitable.

Therefore, we must prepare to vaccinate the tribe's warriors from smallpox from now on.

Human pox is definitely not acceptable. Although human pox vaccination is very mature now, this method lacks theoretical support after all, and it also has a certain fatality rate. Even with the most advanced water vaccination method, this human pox vaccination method has a fatality rate of more than 2%.

Shi Xiong didn't want his soldiers to die in this vaccination method without knowing it, so he had to come up with a smallpox vaccination method that had no fatality rate.

Now whether it is in China or Europe, the method of vaccination for human pox is actually a very dangerous vaccination method.

Human pox was invented by Chinese people ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The principle is to use the scabs on patients infected with smallpox virus to vaccinate ordinary people.

This method of fighting with poison is indeed a correct vaccination method, but because the acne scabs on smallpox patients are very toxic, many normal people will not only be ineffective after vaccination, but will be infected with smallpox and eventually lead to death.

Later, after a long period of research, Huaxia doctors developed many less toxic vaccination methods. For example, use underwear for children with smallpox to wear for two or three days for healthy children who have not developed acne. For example, take fresh acne serum from smallpox children and stuff them with cotton dipped into the vaccinated object. The nostrils can cause acne and achieve the purpose of preventive vaccination "acne slurry method"; for example, the smallpox scab is ground into a very fine powder and blown into the nostrils to achieve the purpose of preventing smallpox by inoculating acne "dry seedling method" "; and the "water seedling method" with the least toxicity and the highest safety...

But no matter which method is used, this method of using human pox to inoculate is fatal. The human pox vaccination method can not be said to be bad, but compared to the vaccinia vaccination method that has been proven and eventually eliminated the malignant infectious disease of smallpox, the human pox vaccination method is obviously not enough.

That's right, Shixiong intends to take precautions now and start researching the vaccinia vaccination technique for vaccination against smallpox.
