Chapter 360

Major Fogg left with a convoy full of goods.

The refined salt produced by the high tree tribe is naturally big head, but in addition to the large quantities of refined salt, the two kinds of goods of high Baijiu and cigarette are also pulled a lot.

Major Fogg is well aware that the high Baijiu and cigarettes produced by the high tree tribe are much more profitable than the refined salt, especially the white ones, which are terrified by the high profits.

This kind of cigarettes in cardboard boxes, the price is only one shilling, a box and thirty cigarettes, but for sale, the price of ten shillings in a box will make those rich smokers scramble. Even if a box sells for one pound, there are many noble smokers scramble!

Even the profit of Baijiu and salt is not up to half of that.

This is the crazy high profit goods.

If it wasn't for the fact that the gaoshu tribe couldn't 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 kind of cigarette is made. That kind of light and tough cigarette paper is too rare. Now many alchemists in Jamestown are trying to make this kind of cigarette paper, but none of them can succeed.

Some people try to make this kind of cigarette with ordinary paper, but who knows how the people of gaoshu tribe make these cigarettes so exquisite? Anyway, the cigarettes made by those people who try to make cigarettes in Jamestown are terrible.

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

Major Fogg, sitting in an ox cart, sighed, took out a box of cigarettes, hesitated for a moment, but was not willing to smoke. However, he took out some cut tobacco and a piece of yellow cardboard and began to make handmade cigarettes.

Although the alchemists in Jamestown didn't make cigarettes, this kind of imitation and crude handmade cigarettes began to be popular in Jamestown.

Although this kind of hand-made cigarette is quite miserable, it is more convenient than a pipe. Therefore, this kind of hand-made cigarette with thin front and thick back soon became popular.

As major Fogg's motorcade left, stone bear's eyebrows began to frown.

Although major Fogg has brought a lot of things in short supply, it is nothing compared with the smallpox proposed by the major before.

Smallpox has the same lethality to people everywhere in the world. Whether it's Chinese, Europeans or native Indians in the new world, as long as they are infected with this terrible and malignant infectious disease, 40% of the death rate is basically impossible.

At present, there are some vaccinations in Europe and China to prevent smallpox. But in the new world, the indigenous people don't even have vaccinations. How can they resist the coming smallpox?

When the Spaniards invaded central and South America more than 260 years ago, smallpox, a malignant infectious disease, killed more than 20 million Indians living in central and South America in just one hundred years. Smallpox, a malignant infectious disease, became the number one executioner of the Indian massacre.

In the original historical time and space, when the independent war broke out, the reason why the Americans were defeated by the British troops at the beginning was that smallpox was rampant.

The outbreak of the war of independence was the peak of smallpox in Europe and America. However, the British army because of vaccinations, so the British Army died of smallpox very few people, and the British army is not worried about the transmission of smallpox.

But the American Army couldn't, because they belonged to the "rebellious" army, so the "vaccination hospitals" (vaccinated hospitals) in the thirteen colonies of North America were not open to the American army at that time, so in the early days of the independent war, a large number of American soldiers died because of the outbreak of smallpox.

The most important thing is that once smallpox starts to spread, no American soldier can resist the British. The fear of smallpox has long destroyed the psychological defense of these American soldiers. Their fear of smallpox is far greater than their resistance to the British

It was for this reason that the American army, which had the advantage of time, place and people, was defeated by the British army in the middle and early stage of the independent war.

But later, with the spread of vaccinations in the American army, the harm of smallpox to the American army became smaller and smaller. In addition, the local Aedes began to spread malaria in the British army, which eventually led to the victory of the American army and the establishment of the world's largest country in the future.

Although smallpox is still a long way from the gaoshu tribe, if the stone bear wants to join the new world of North America, it is inevitable to contact smallpox.

Therefore, we must prepare to vaccinate the tribe soldiers against smallpox from now on.

It's definitely not going to work. Although vaccination is now very mature, but this method is lack of theoretical support, but also has a certain mortality. Even if the most advanced water vaccine method is used, this kind of vaccination method also has a mortality rate of more than 2%.

Stone bear doesn't want his soldiers to die in this way, so he has to come up with a smallpox vaccination method with no fatality rate.

Now whether it is China or Europe, the vaccination method is actually a very dangerous vaccination method.

Human pox was invented by Chinese people. Its principle is to vaccinate ordinary people by using the scab of patients infected with smallpox virus.

This method is indeed a correct inoculation method, but because smallpox 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, Chinese doctors developed a lot of inoculation methods with less toxicity. For example, children with smallpox intimate underwear for healthy children without smallpox wear two or three days, in order to achieve the purpose of vaccination "smallpox clothing method"; For example, take the fresh smallpox milk of children with smallpox, dip it into the nostrils of the vaccinated objects with cotton, so as to cause acne and achieve the purpose of vaccination; For example, grind the smallpox scab into a very fine powder and blow it into the nostril to achieve the purpose of vaccination and prevention of smallpox; And the "water seedling method" with the least toxicity and the highest safety

But no matter which method, the use of human pox vaccination methods are lethal. The method of vaccinating against smallpox can not be said to be bad, but compared with the later method of vaccinating against smallpox, a malignant infectious disease, which has been proved and finally eliminated, the method of vaccinating against smallpox is obviously not enough.

That's right. Shi Xiong plans to take precautions now and start to study vaccinating with vaccinia to prevent smallpox.
