Chapter 2293

The soldier knelt on the ground and answered. He felt a little confused, because he was one of the people who asked about the method of vaccination. At that time, let alone the method of vaccination, he didn't even hear about the treatment of smallpox.

In the Central Plains, although smallpox is basically not cured, the doctor can still come up with one or two prescriptions.

But in the western regions, if they get an epidemic like smallpox, they will basically kill and burn them all, and spread it as an immune disease. They didn't even find out a prescription, let alone a prescription for epidemic prevention.

But now

The soldier said, "it was a businessman who came to Xizhou to sell wolf skin and sheep. He came from Tingzhou. He knew that someone was asking about the way to cure smallpox and thought there was a reward to receive, so he came to receive it."

General Guo sat in his chair and asked, "it can't be made up?"

The soldiers dare not draw a conclusion.

General Guo paused and said, "call someone and I'll ask myself."

The soldiers took orders.

"... it is said that there is a Buddhist kingdom in the Far West. The people there have profound divine power and everyone can cure many difficult and miscellaneous diseases. Smallpox is even simpler."

General Guo was not interested for a moment. He leaned back in his chair and thought that he would return to the Buddha kingdom. This is nonsense.

The merchant continued: "I heard that there is a way to plant smallpox on cattle. When cattle have smallpox, they can plant smallpox on people. People there are vaccinated at birth, so they won't get smallpox all their life..."

General Guo couldn't help sitting up again, narrowed his eyes and thought, "is there such a country?"

The merchant said confidently: "of course, sir, only some old people know such legends. The small ones can know because they are popular. I heard that there are adults asking about it here, and the small ones came all the way..."

General Guo understood what he meant and looked at the soldiers.

The soldiers brought him a roll of silk cloth.

The merchant hugged him tightly. Unexpectedly, the news could really change money.

General Guo asked, "where is that country?"

"Far west."

General Guo:

After his luck, he asked, "do many people know about it?"

"Not much. They are all old people. Because they have lived for a long time and have seen many people, they heard from some businessmen passing by. Many people don't know."

General Guo waved his hand. He was not interested in listening. He pointed to his soldiers and said, "take him to the mission and give him to them."

The merchant was shocked and trembled with silk cloth. "General, I don't want the reward."

General Guo: "... Take it. Would Ben be such a stingy man? Let him take you to another place to receive the reward money, and repeat what you said to Ben. "

So the merchant followed the soldiers to Mr. Zhuang's yard.

Bai Erlang was much more generous than general Guo. They asked more detailed questions, and then gave the merchant a whole silk cloth.

After the merchant was sent out, Mr. Zhuang looked at Bai Erlang, "did you make up this story?"

Bai Erlang subconsciously denied, "no!"

They are talking about a country with birds singing and flowers smelling and rich national strength, but it is not a country of Buddhism and God.

Mr. Zhuang has some doubts. It's really a familiar story.

His suspicious eyes kept sweeping Bai Erlang. Finally, he didn't ask about it again. Instead, he said, "now that you have news, let someone go out and ask if you can find out more details."

He paused and said, "Bai Shan and they are also in the direction of Tingzhou. Maybe they can know more detailed information."

Although Mr. Zhuang came with the intention of studying abroad, he really wanted to find a way to prevent smallpox, but now it seems that the so-called prescription for preventing smallpox was also made by several disciples.

Mr. Zhuang frowned, but when he saw Nie join the army and Wei pedestrian coming, he smiled and suppressed these thoughts for the time being.

Nie was very excited to join the army. "Lord Zhuang, have you heard about vaccination?"

Mr. Zhuang smiled and nodded. "Yes, thanks to General Guo, he has been sending people outside to inquire about it. Now there is some news."

The merchant's story will be cut off, leaving only the key parts to tell them.

Nie joined the army and his eyes brightened. "There's really such a way. Can't we get the prescription when we find this small country in the western regions?

Wei pedestrian did not have such confidence. They said to each other: "there are so many small countries in the western region. It's not clear. It's just a place in the extreme West. I didn't even say the name of a country. Where can I find it?"

"Moreover, the farther west, the more unstable and colder it is. I'm afraid I can't turn back over the years."

Although they are ready to spend two years on the road to the western regions, it does not mean that they are willing to live in the western regions for a long time. Even if they have a lot of money, they still miss the comfort of the capital.

Mr. Zhuang thought for a while and said, "man... Lord Zhou can't leave the capital for a long time, and there is Bai er. He always wants to return to Beijing. Now the chief officer is not in, so we can discuss it when she comes back."

After a pause, Mr. Zhuang said, "maybe they have good news there."

Wei pedestrian, they suddenly seem to have taken a reassurance. Also, there is Bai Cheng.

He is Princess Mingda's son-in-law. Others can wander outside for a few years without returning to Beijing, but he can't. next year, Princess Mingda can get married when she gives filial piety. He can't help but return to Beijing.

So Nie joined the army, Wei pedestrian and others were happy and left at ease. We'd better wait for Lord Zhou to come back and discuss the matter, but they can also inquire around.

Not many people knew the news, but Nie joined the army. They wanted to inquire, but they could still find out some news.

Although the stories heard are different, the key point remains the same. In the Far West, there is a country where people know how to grow vaccinia. It is said that people in that country never fear smallpox when they go out.

It sounds enviable.

Not only let Nie join the army, but also the people in the western regions and grasslands.

Herders in the western regions and grasslands have horses and people are brave and powerful, but why can't they always reach the Central Plains?

Of course, they do not think that they are limited in combat power and lack of wisdom. They think that epidemics such as smallpox limit them.

It is very dangerous for them to enter the customs. They are very likely to suffer from diseases such as smallpox, so they can't enter the Central Plains.

Yes, that's why.

Nie Shenjun was very dissatisfied when he heard these detailed comments when he inquired about the news. When he came back, he said to Mr. Zhuang: "Your Majesty is so kind to them, but they have no feelings. They still want to enter the Central Plains. It's really unforgivable."
