Unlike Jiang Zhiming, Yu Jiusi did not have a fever after the cowpox vaccination. Not to mention the high fever that led to coma like Jiang Zhiming, even his cheeks did not turn red. Li Shiyuan had a slight fever and his mind was a little confused, but he felt much better after drinking the medicine.

Li Shiyuan felt Yu Jiusi's pulse and cried and laughed. He asked Yu Jiusi if he felt any discomfort, and Yu Jiusi said, "My throat is a little dry."

"Gone?"

"No, I want some water."

After saying that, he picked up a pot of cold tea, tilted his head back and poured it into his mouth.

"We all have mild symptoms." Li Shiyuan said, looking at Yu Jiusi who was safe and sound.

"Mild symptoms?" Yu Jiusi touched himself up and down, and said suspiciously: "I should be asymptomatic, right? Dry throat is not a symptom, just drink some water and it will be fine."

Li Shiyuan paused, and finally admitted the unwilling fact: "It can be considered asymptomatic... You are young and practice martial arts, so you are in good health."

Yu Jiusi laughed and slapped the table, saying, "I said before that I would take the test, but you refused. Now you have scared all of us, right? If I had taken the test, the people would have been vaccinated with cowpox by now."

Li Shiyuan was silent.

This is not to excuse myself, but to state a fact: "Symptoms vary from person to person. Before the vaccination, I couldn't tell for sure..."

Moreover, for some diseases, the healthier your body is, the less resistant you are.

On the contrary, the healthier a person is, the more severe the reaction of their limbs and internal organs to the illness may be. In other words, such people resist the disease fiercely and the external manifestations will be more obvious.

"...Forget it, there's no point in talking about this." Yu Jiusi didn't know much about medicine, so he stopped thinking after a few words and got down to business: "The cowpox vaccine is indeed effective, can it be used to vaccinate the people?"

Li Shiyuan thought for a moment and nodded: "I will come back to check your pulse in another hour. If there is nothing wrong with your body, you can vaccinate the people."

The shortest observation time specified in the medical books has not yet arrived. To be on the safe side, he went to pack the cowpox vaccine first, and when the time comes, he can vaccinate the people.

......

Happy Alley.

Since the outbreak of smallpox, Huanxi Lane has become the worst-hit area. The entire lane has been blocked off and strictly guarded by government soldiers. Except for people delivering daily necessities, not a single person can be seen outside the lane all day long.

Huanxi Lane has seven or eight entrances connected to other lanes, and the largest entrance is where it connects to Laomalu Lane. Because there were also people in Laomalu Lane who were infected with smallpox, this entrance was guarded by the most soldiers.

In the chilly wind, dozens of soldiers stood upright. Even though their exposed fingers were festering and oozing pus, they still sniffed their noses and carefully observed the movements around them.

There were cries of grief again in Huanxi Lane, cries so heartbreaking and heartbreaking.

"Did someone die again?" A short soldier was stunned and asked numbly.

"I don't know..." Another soldier looked into Huanxi Lane, his eyes full of sorrow. "Although the medicine sent by Doctor Li every day is somewhat useful...but smallpox spreads...too quickly."

No matter how useful the medicine was, it could only alleviate the symptoms of the infected people, but all the people who were supposed to be infected with smallpox were still there.

If this continues, the entire Huanxi Lane, Laonulu Lane, and even the entire Xingning Prefecture will be in danger...

The short soldier smiled desperately, turned around and asked him, "Brother Lu, when will it be our turn?"

"what?"

"Smallpox..." The short soldier looked at his toes and whispered, "Brother Jin has been taken away for quarantine. What about us? When will it be..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two palace soldiers next to him looked over speechlessly, as if they were waiting for his answer, and as if they urgently needed his comfort and to say some nice words to encourage everyone.

The soldier called "Brother Lu" was stunned at first, and then shouted: "What are you thinking about? The master said that Doctor Li has a way, so we just need to wait for his orders!"

Having said that, isn't that what he was thinking in his heart?

But he could not show his weakness, nor could he allow them to "think and talk nonsense". Once people's hearts were in chaos, Xingning Prefecture would be in real chaos.

Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves and wheel wheels came from the corner. Everyone was startled and looked in the direction of the sound.

"Didn't we deliver food today? Why is someone coming?"

As soon as he finished speaking, a tall horse appeared in front of everyone. Everyone recognized the style of the carriage.

"Master Prefect!"

Lu Xin, a soldier from the capital, was the first to meet him. When Jiang Zhiming was about to lift the curtain and get off the carriage, he was stopped by him and pleaded loudly, "It's dangerous here, sir, please don't get off. If you have anything to say, just tell me!"

All the soldiers present could be infected with smallpox and wait to die, except the person in front of him.

He is the hope of the entire Xingning Prefecture.

Jiang Zhiming curled up a smile, gently pushed Lu Xin away, and got off the carriage without hesitation. Following closely behind him were Yu Jiusi, Li Shiyuan and Doctor Zhang.

"Sir!" Lu Xin's voice began to tremble with worry. "A few days ago, a guard was unfortunately infected with smallpox. This place is not safe. I beg you... don't put yourself in danger!"

After saying this, he knelt down directly, as if he would not get up until Jiang Zhiming returned to the carriage.

"Hurry up and get up!" It would be a lie to say that he was not touched by the care of the palace soldiers. Jiang Zhiming bent down and supported Lu Xin's arm, and helped him up: "I will be fine. Not to mention standing at the gate of Huanxi Lane, even if I go in and say hello to every household, I will be fine."

"What?" Lu Xin felt his ears buzzing after hearing this.

Are you worried silly? Not to mention going door to door, even if you go into a house, you're afraid you'll get into trouble when you come out.

He looked at Li Shiyuan for help.

He had seen this doctor twice. He was better than all the doctors in the mansion. The medicine he sent was indeed effective. Now they placed all their hopes on Doctor Li.

Doctor Li smiled and nodded, then turned his head to the prefect and said, "Master Jiang, let's follow our discussion and start with the soldiers guarding the alley entrance, shall we?"

Start?

What to start with?

Lu Xin subconsciously looked at Jiang Zhiming, only to see him nod and give the order: "Everyone listen up, Doctor Li has found a way to prevent and treat smallpox, called 'vaccination'. Anyone who has not been infected with the disease will never be infected with smallpox again. This official, General Yu, Doctor Li, and Doctor Zhang will all be vaccinated."

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar.

"What cowpox? Your Excellency means that as long as we are vaccinated against cowpox, we don't have to worry about smallpox anymore?"

"Doesn't that mean our Xingning Prefecture is saved? As long as everyone is vaccinated against smallpox, no one will be infected again!"

"But...what is cowpox?"
