Smallpox in this era is actually chickenpox, but it is an incurable disease. There is almost no cure for people with smallpox. Although there are special prescriptions in various medical books, they actually have no real effect. Most of them only have the function of recuperation and rest, and can only be overcome by being strong and strong.

If a young child gets smallpox, almost one out of ten survives. Take the Emperor Renzong of the dynasty as an example. The three sons and thirteen daughters born of them, except for four of them, all of them died young. Smallpox is the well-deserved killer, let alone ordinary people's family. Chen Yue ranked fifth, with only the eldest brother and the second brother above, and only the seventh brother below. It was already considered good at this time. The other empty rankings were all due to early death. Similarly, Han Qiniang had only two sisters above but ranked seventh, and smallpox "makes indelible".

Until the Qing Dynasty, he was helpless in the face of smallpox. Emperor Tongzhi Zaichun and Emperor Shunzhi Fulin all died of this disease. It can be seen that his influence is far-reaching and has reached the point where everyone is afraid of talking about it.

Sima Guang, the one who smashed the tank, made a very famous remark when opposing Wang Anshi's reform (not just forgetting or promoting), that is, the "constant theory of wealth in the world", which means that under the premise that the number of people remains unchanged, wealth does not depend on the people, but on the basis that the number of people remains unchanged, the total amount remains unchanged. Although this is an argument to oppose Wang Anshi's reform "get rich from the people", it can also be seen that a very important factor that determines the national strength of the feudal era is the development of population. Smallpox, like war and famine disasters, is a "big killing weapon" that limits the population at this time.

Such a difficult problem is said lightly from a man under twenty, how can he not let others be surprised?

Chen Yan reacted. He was about to knock him over. Seeing Chen Yue jumping away, he couldn't chase him in the government office, so he had to scold him angrily: "When I speak nonsense, how did I teach you! What does the second chapter of "The Analects of Confucius" say? Memorize it for me."

"The Master said: If a person has no faith, he will not know what he can do. There is no big cart..." Chen Yue, the Analects of Confucius, has been memorizing all the time recently. He has read the annotated version in his previous life, and coupled with his learning in this life, the basic interpretation is fine, so he memorized it out after opening his mouth.

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

"This..." Chen Yue didn't dare to refute with a bitter face, and was about to explain. Then Fan Zhongyan also said, "This matter is not a small matter, Shangwen cannot lie."

Although Fan Zhongyan and Lu Da have recently thought that Chen Yue is very skilled in dealing with things and are often ingenious. But it is absolutely impossible to believe that Chen Yue can prevent and control smallpox.

Lu Da said: "I have read a lot of medical books, and some of them are unbelievable." Yu Er opened his mouth as if he suddenly realized the truth, looked at Chen Yue and nodded, and then shook his head with a "hmm" sound: "Shangwen wants to take a different approach and raise money in the name of preventing and treating acne? This matter is of great importance. If it is spread, it may not be shaken by the world, and it may not even be investigated by the government. It means that it is just a waste of time and will not be able to deal with it at that time."

Fan Zhongyan and Chen Yan suddenly realized what they were. Chen Yan said again and said, "At a young age, you can think about some wrong ideas. Have you considered the consequences of this matter clearly? Just now, I heard the words of Duke Xiwen and Yuanshan and thought that you had learned the truth, but in the end I still had insufficient experience!"

Fan Zhongyan waved his hand and said, "Forget it, Xishan should not blame him. He said this idea and raised money for the people. His original intention was still good." As he said that, his face became solemn, and Chen Yan was a rare gesture of his elders, saying, "It's just that the right way is the right way. Lies are not the words of everyone, and they deceive the world for a while. Even if he is kind, he will inevitably be scolded by the world for a lifetime."

The three of them taught Chen Yue with one word and one word, which made him stunned. Chen Yue wanted to refute them with the "kind lie" style. Since food business can be done by using real and real tricks, what's wrong with this? It's just that the matter is important and everyone can't bear the responsibility. Suddenly he thought, 'What's the matter with this!'

He had no intention of lying to this matter...

"Do you remember that I stayed at home a few days ago?" Chen Yue didn't want to bother them. To be honest, these people were all in high positions and were quite charming in their words and actions. Chen Yue was under great pressure with his grandfather on the spot, and they almost got around in. He was too lazy to explain more and asked directly.

"I don't remember." Lu Da said after pondering for a moment. Although Chen Yue had a close relationship with them recently, it was not as good as meeting every day. After Guangsha Camp and Donghua Temple were on the right track, they often used the excuse of "doing homework" and refused to go out to do things. It was normal not to see each other for three to five days.

Chen Yue rolled his eyes on Chen Yan's back and said, "You will know after you look." As he said that, he pulled down the left-sided lapel collar. The weather turned hot and the body was thin. After pulling down the lapel, a piece of white arms appeared inside.

"What's this...Huh?" Lu Da spoke first, said halfway, and said, and leaned over and looked carefully.

"Do you look carefully?" Chen Yue asked, pulling his clothes.

"What kind of flower dew is Shangwen using? Why haven't you smelled it before? It's cool and elegant, but it's good. I'll send a few bottles to my mansion another day." Lu Da said with his beard and squinted.

Chen Yue almost squirted blood on his face, "Who made you smell it?" He pointed at the red dots under his shoulders and said, "Does this look like smallpox?"

"What?!"

The three of them were all shocked. Lu Da had come closest to the front. The old man in his sixties and seventies jumped back three feet high, dodging from a distance, patted his chest and said, "Shangwen, don't scare me, I have never had this disease before. If I really get this old bone, I can't stand it."

"Shangwen has smallpox?"

Fan Zhongyan also asked in surprise, but he had to be smallpox after childhood, so he was not afraid of this disease.

Chen Yan's reaction was the most intense. He pulled Chen Yue over and pulled his clothes down a little, looked at him carefully, with concern and concern on his face.

Chen Yue was slightly moved. After all, he was his grandfather who was thicker than water. No matter whether he had smallpox or not, most people would avoid him from far away when they saw him. It was not easy for Fan Zhongyan to stand still, but Chen Yan could visit him regardless of danger.

"It's not considered real smallpox, it's just cowpox, not as dangerous as human acne. It's usually better to recuperate for one or two days."

"Bang"

A crisp chestnut hit Chen Yue's head directly, and Chen Yan said angrily: "Then what are you talking about!" From his expression, it can be seen that he was breathing a sigh of relief.

Chen Yue was pulled by Chen Yan this time and could not avoid it. He covered his head with grievance, but he had no resentment in his heart. Seeing the solemnity on Chen Yan's face gradually soothing, he was still a little happy.

"This symptom is mild, even a three-year-old child can withstand it, but it is like acne, and it will not recur after it has passed."

"What does that have to do with acne? Can cowpox even cure human acne?"

"It's not just a treatment, but a prevention. People who have had cowpox will not get acne again. However, if they have already had it, there is no way." Chen Yue saw that the few people had almost finished visiting, pulled his clothes back up and said while tidying up.

"How did Shangwen know this method? Is there any clear evidence?" This time he spoke was Fan Zhongyan. He had already believed in it. Those who had acne sores would not get a second time. This is common sense. He also had acne sores. It is not impossible to know that acne sores have rashes similar to the cowpox obtained by Chen Yue. It is not impossible. In "Preparing for Emergency Qianjin Yao Prescriptions", "Practice and Cangkang" in Volume 5, there are pus inoculation to prevent and treat some methods of treating wart defects. It is similar to the method mentioned by Chen Yue.

Thinking of this, Fan Zhongyan looked at Lu Da, saw the spirit ejaculated in Lu Da's eyes, and understood that the other party was the same as his own.

If it is true as Chen Yue said, there can be a way to prevent smallpox and acne, and the achievements are enough to cause a sensation in the world and benefit the people. Even if it is just a report to the court, it will be far more than this disaster relief! (To be continued...)
