    Smallpox in this era was actually chicken pox, but it was an incurable disease. There was almost no cure for people who got smallpox. Although there were partial prescriptions in various medical books, they actually had no real curative effect. Most of them could only be recuperated and rested.  You can only rely on your strong body to survive the effects.

    If a young child gets smallpox, almost no one out of ten will survive. Take the emperor Renzong as an example. He gave birth to three sons and thirteen daughters. Except for four of the daughters, all the others died young. Smallpox is a well-deserved case.  The number one killer, let alone the home of ordinary people.  Chen Yue ranked fifth, with only the eldest and second brothers above him, and the seventh brother below him, which was considered good at this time. The other vacant rankings were all due to early deaths. Similarly, Han Qiniang had only two sisters above her but was ranked 3rd.  Seventh, smallpox "contributed indispensably".

    Until the Qing Dynasty, there was still no way to deal with smallpox. Emperor Tongzhi Zaichun and Emperor Shunzhi Fulin both died of this disease. It can be seen that its far-reaching impact has reached the point where everyone talks about it.

    Sima Guang, the man who smashed the vat, made a very famous statement (not original, just carried forward) when he opposed Wang Anshi's reform, that is, "the theory of constant wealth in the world", that is, under the premise that the number of people remains unchanged, wealth is not with the people, but with the people.  Official, the total amount remains unchanged.  Although this is an argument used to oppose Wang Anshi's reform of "taking wealth from the people", it can also be seen that a very important factor in determining national strength in the feudal era was population development, and smallpox, like the disasters of war and famine, was a limiting factor.  The "big killer" of the population at that time.

    " Such a difficult problem is said in an understatement from a man who is less than 20 years old. How can others not be surprised?

    Chen Yan reacted.  He was about to hit Chen Yue with a bang, but when he saw Chen Yue jumping to avoid it, he couldn't chase him in the government office, so he could only curse angrily: "You are talking nonsense, how did I teach you! "The Analects of Confucius" is the second in politics.  What does the article say? Recite it for me."

    "The Master said: A man without faith does not know what he can do. A cart without" The Analects of Confucius, Chen Yue, has become familiar with it recently. He has read the annotated version in his previous life, coupled with the study in this life.  There¡¯s no problem with the basic meaning, I can recite it right away.

    Unexpectedly, Chen Yan glared: "Go back and copy it a hundred times!"

    "This" Chen Yue had a grimace and did not dare to refute, and was about to explain.  Then Fan Zhongyan also spoke up and said: "This matter is of no small importance, and one should not lie about it."

    Although Fan Zhongyan and Lu Da have recently felt that Chen Yue is old-fashioned and often creative.  But it is absolutely impossible for them to believe that Chen Yue can prevent and cure smallpox.

    Lu Da said: "I have read a lot of medical books, some of which are untrustworthy." Er opened his mouth again as if he suddenly understood, looked at Chen Yue and nodded, and then shook his head with a "hmm"  : "Naofumi wants to take a different approach and raise money in the name of preventing and curing acne? This matter is of great importance. If it is spread out, it will shock the world, and even the officials will be asked to ask, and let people know that it is all in vain.  It can¡¯t be dealt with.¡±

    Fan Zhongyan and Chen Yan both suddenly understood after hearing this.  Chen Yan taught him a lesson again: "At a young age, you are thinking of all kinds of evil ideas. Have you thought clearly about the consequences of this matter? Just now I heard what Mr. Xi Wen and Yuan Shan said and thought you were enlightened, but after all, you still don't have enough experience.  !¡±

    Fan Zhongyan waved his hand and said: "That's all, Xishan shouldn't blame him. He came up with this idea just to raise money for the people. He has good intentions," he said with a solemn look on his face, which was rare even for Chen Yan.  Taking on the posture of an elder, he said: "It's just that being upright and upright is the right way. Lies are not everyone's words. They can deceive the world for a while. Even if you have good intentions, you will inevitably be scolded by the world in the past life."

    The three of them educated Chen Yue with their words, leaving him stunned. Chen Yue really wanted to use "white lies" to refute them. Since the food industry can use lies and truth,  So what's wrong with this?  It's just that the matter is so important that no one can bear the responsibility.  Suddenly I thought, ¡®What the hell is this!  ¡¯

    He had no intention of lying about this matter

    "Remember that I was staying at home a few days ago?" Chen Yue didn't want to get involved with them. To be honest, these people had all held high positions and were quite charming in their words and deeds. Chen Yue was under great pressure with his grandfather present, and almost  They were also involved, so he didn't bother to explain more and asked directly.

    "I don't remember." Lu Da said after thinking for a moment. Although Chen Yue had been very close to them recently, they didn't meet every day. After Guangshaying and Donghua Temple got on the right track, they often used the excuse of "doing homework."  It's normal to refuse to go out to do things and not see him for three to five days.

    Chen Yue rolled his eyes behind Chen Yan's back and said, "You will know after you see it." After saying that, he pulled down the left skirt of his clothes. The weather turned hot and the clothes he was wearing were already thin. When the skirt was pulled down, the inside was exposed.  A piece of white arm.

    "What are you doing Huh?" Lu Da was the first to speak,He let out a sigh halfway through, and leaned his head over to take a closer look.

    "Are you looking carefully?" Chen Yue asked, pulling on his clothes.

    "What kind of floral dew is Naofumi using? I've never smelled it before. It's cool and elegant. It's pretty good. I'll send a few bottles to my house someday." Lu Da said, bending down and stroking his beard with his eyes.

    Chen Yue almost spat a mouthful of blood on his face, "Who told you to smell it?" He then pointed at a few red spots under his shoulders and said, "Does this look like smallpox?"

    "What?!"

    The three of them were all startled. Lu Da, an old man in his sixties or seventies who had his head closest to him before, jumped three feet back, far away, patted his chest and said, "Naofumi, don't scare me."  , I have never had this disease before, if I really get it, I won¡¯t be able to survive with this old bone.¡±

    "Naofumi has smallpox?"

    Fan Zhongyan also asked in surprise, but he had suffered from smallpox when he was a child, so he was not afraid of this disease anymore.

    Chen Yan reacted the most intensely. He pulled Chen Yue over and pulled his clothes down a little further. He looked carefully with a look of concern and concern on his face.

    Chen Yue was slightly moved in his heart. After all, he was a grandfather whose blood was thicker than water. Regardless of whether he had smallpox or not, most people would stay away from him when they saw him. Only someone like Fan Zhongyan could stand still without moving.  It was not easy, but Chen Yan was able to come forward to visit regardless of the danger.

    "It's not really smallpox, it's just cowpox. It's not as dangerous as variola. Most people will be fine after a day or two of rest."

    "Snapped"

    A crisp chestnut hit Chen Yue directly on the head. Chen Yan said angrily: "Then what are you talking about!" From the expression on his face, it can be seen that he breathed a sigh of relief.

    Chen Yue was pulled away by Chen Yan this time and couldn't escape. He covered his head in grievance, but he didn't have any resentment in his heart. Seeing that the solemnity on Chen Yan's face gradually relaxed, he was still a little happy.

    "This disease is mild in nature and can be tolerated even by a three-year-old child, but it is just like acne. Once it is over, it will not recur."

    "What does that have to do with acne? Could it be that cowpox can also cure human pox?"

    "It's not a cure, but a prevention. People who have had cowpox will not get acne again, but if they have already had it, there is nothing they can do." Chen Yue saw that several people had almost finished the visit, so he lifted up his clothes  He pulled it back and said while sorting it out.

    "Where did Shangwen learn about this method? Is there any clear evidence?" The person who spoke this time was Fan Zhongyan. He already believed it in his heart. It is common sense that people who have had acne will not get it again. He himself also believed it.  Having suffered from acne, I know that the rash caused by acne is similar to the cowpox that Chen Yue got. It is not impossible. In Volume 5 of "Essential Prescriptions for Emergency Prescriptions", under "Carbuncle and Scrofula", there is a use of pus inoculation to prevent and treat some warts.  The method is similar to what Chen Yue said.

    Thinking of this, Fan Zhongyan glanced at Lu Da, saw the look in Lu Da's eyes, and understood that the other person had the same idea as him.

    If it is true, as Chen Yue said, that there is a way to prevent smallpox, the achievements will be enough to shock the world and benefit the people. Even if it is just reported to the imperial court, it will far exceed this disaster relief!  (To be continued)
