Zhang Zhou didn't talk too much to Zhu Feng that day, because many things were uncertain for Zhang Zhou, and it would be useless to talk more.
The sky is getting dark, and Zhu Feng is leaving.
When Zhang Zhou sent him out, Zhu Feng turned around and looked at the chicken cage. It seemed that the most novel thing in the yard was the chicken cage. Zhang Zhou was also puzzled. It seemed that this The second son of the Duke's family has the potential to open a chicken farm.
"Husband, who is that young master? The clothes he wears are not only rich, but also noble."
Zhu Feng left, and the flowing mats at the door were scattered one after another. Zhang Zhou returned The door to the courtyard was just ajar, while Jiang Pingyu came over to ask about her husband.
Zhang Zhoudao said, "He is Zhu Feng, the second son of Cheng Guogong. He will soon go to the capital to take over the post of Nanjing Jinyi Weiqian. Before leaving, he wants me to help him take care of the rice and grain business."
For others, this may be a matter of honor, but Jiang Pingyu was not happy after hearing this, "My husband is now the master of civil affairs, so it is better not to take on such an errand."
In the eyes of a traditional woman like Jiang Pingyu, passing the exam and gaining social status means she can have nothing to do with doing business.
Zhang Zhou smiled and said, "It's nothing. Now I have to do something else with him. It is said that there is an epidemic in Yangzhou City on the other side. I may have to leave home tonight. It will be very late tomorrow." Just came back."
"Ah"
Jiang Pingyu was surprised.
Today my husband has just passed the exam and is about to go out
Zhang Zhou said, "Madam, while the city gate is still open, I want to leave the city quickly. I can't explain to you specifically, but You just need to believe that I do everything for this family."
"The husband will come back soon."
There was a hint of reluctance in Jiang Pingyu's eyes.
But she still hurried to pack her husband’s things.
Han Qing on the side had been busy for a long time and was sitting in front of the stove to rest. Knowing that Zhang Zhou was leaving the city, he curiously said, "Madam, Aunt Lin has washed the bathtub and will send it to you later." Come."
As he said, his face was a bit shy.
Obviously, the sisters are now more convenient, and Zhang Zhou also passed the exam to learn Yuan, and the family conditions have been improved. This is the time when the family is "having fun", and even the bathtub has been borrowed It is necessary to make some preparations in advance.
But at this time, Zhang Zhou still wanted to go out
Jiang Pingyu said, "My husband has important things to do, and we must obey him."
Zhang Zhou Smiling, he pulled the two girls over and said with a bit of pride, "Yeah, there's no rush. Wait until I come back tomorrow."
When Zhang Zhou took Liu Gui out of the city, he was also thinking , he is crazy.
I was in Nanjing, and less than a month after the incident, I actually thought of treating the emperor’s daughter with smallpox
Oh
Zhang Zhou sat on the hired carriage and sighed when he saw the city gate in sight.
Liu Guidao: "Mr. Zhang, you have become a master of civil affairs, but you still have troubles to worry about."
"You have a lot of troubles to worry about."
Zhang Zhou knew very well that in any era, the only way to prevent smallpox is to prevent it. There is no cure.
Whether it is China or the whole world, if you get smallpox, you have to resign yourself to your fate. Young adults are fine with the disease and their immunity is relatively strong. If the elderly and children with low immunity get it, they will suffer even if their medical conditions are backward. In the absence of antipyretics, the mortality rate is close to 50%. It can be said that half of the people will survive and half of the people will die.
Even if they are alive, there will be pockmarks on their faces and bodies, and some even have their noses rotted away, leaving only two nostrils.
The only way is to get vaccinated.
China has a long history of variolation, but the results are not ideal.
But it would still be hundreds of years before cowpox was discovered and widely used to prevent and control smallpox.
The little princess Zhu Xiurong obviously did not get infected by running out of the palace on her own. It came from the outbreak and infection of smallpox within the palace, and from the palace servants who took care of Zhu Xiurong.
The average incubation period of smallpox is ten to twelve days. If a person is vaccinated with cowpox using the blood method within two days after being exposed to a smallpox patient, the cowpox will react quickly in the blood, and immunity to smallpox can basically be formed. .
If it lasts three to seven days, the chance of forming antibody immunity is very high, and most young adults will not get smallpox.
If the vaccination takes eight to ten days, the onset of the disease will be mild but the symptoms will be mild.
If vaccinated again for more than ten days, it will basically be ineffective.
For people with low immunity, such as four-year-old children like Zhu Xiurong, the time may be earlier.
Based on China’s thousands of years of experience in preventing and controlling smallpox, especially in the palace, people around those who contracted smallpox would be isolated. Historically, Zhu Xiurong was infected with smallpox, but did not infect Zhu Youtang and his wife. and Zhu Houzhao, which also shows that during this smallpox outbreak, the palace's prevention and control work was relatively in place, and at least Zhu Xiurong was isolated in advance.
Zhang Zhou’s plan is to beat this time gap.
If he could use a clever influence to vaccinate Zhu Xiurong about seven days after he came into contact with the patient, Zhu Xiurong would still get sick, but the symptoms would be mild and not fatal. A single vaccination experiment can achieve the best results.
The most difficult thing for him now is to find a cow infected with smallpox, and it must be before Zhu Feng goes north.
If he couldn't find it before coming to Japan, there was no need to mention it to Zhu Feng. If he found it and Zhu Feng didn't believe him, he wouldn't force it.
Of course, even if he found it, he couldn't tell Zhu Feng that it was a pustule after a cow got sick. Instead, he would say that it was a "magic medicine" in order to ensure that this magic medicine was harmless. Yes, Zhang Zhou also wanted to do a field test with Zhu Feng.
At the same time, this is also a layer of protection that Zhang Zhou provides for his family. Who knows that the epidemic is likely to spread soon?Ran has arrived in Nanjing
The next day is the Deer Ming Banquet.
The Nanjing Gongyuan was very lively that day. There were hundreds of officials from inside and outside, plus the candidates who passed the provincial examination, and the Xue Zheng Jiao who had learned from the county school, Ying Tianfu officials and others. many.
The person who attracted the most attention that day was, of course, Zhang Zhou, who passed the Jiangnan Provincial Examination.
But it is a pity that Zhang Zhou went out of the city overnight to look for sick cows yesterday and did not come to participate in the deer-crowing banquet at all.
It is not necessary to participate in the Deer Ming Banquet in the Ming Dynasty. After all, it took some time after the provincial examination was over and the results were released. Many candidates went back to their hometowns after the examination. After all, they stayed in Nanjing to wait for an illusory event. The results are very tiring, and not every candidate can live in the provincial capital for a long time without working.
Also, even if you wait for the announcement of the list in your hometown, this will lead to the fact that at the Luming Banquet the day after the announcement of the list, there are always many people who cannot come due to various factors.
But for someone like Zhang Zhou who studied in Nanjing and lives in Nanjing, it would be unusual for him not to attend the Deer Ming Banquet.
"Jizhi, I heard that Zhang Bingkuan has not come yet." Liu Ji also went out to drink with people from Yingtian Mansion for two rounds before returning to the table prepared for the exam and saw Wang Hao quietly. Sitting there, I couldn't help but ask.
Wang Hao looked back and saw that the table behind him was the table prepared for the top ten in the provincial examination.
A lonely figure happened to have his back to Wang Hao.
Wang Hao said, "Since Jieyuan didn't come, let Yayuan Bohu come over to represent the people and propose a toast to everyone present."
That lonely figure on the back is exactly what he is doing. Tang Yin was supposed to be ranked second in this provincial examination, but due to the butterfly effect brought about by Zhang Zhou, Tang Yin was ranked second.
