Chapter 260: Ping An sets questions for the scientific examination

Wang Ping'an scratched his head and thought to himself: "I think about things you can't think of, but I can't think of anything. At most, I think about it from a medical perspective. But what can I do about the national economy and people's livelihood in medicine?"

When Changsun Wuji saw him thinking, he was amused. The young man was indeed a young man. As soon as I asked him to think about it, he really remembered it. Could it be that he could really come up with something?

Although he had some hope for Wang Ping'an, he always felt that even if there was a piece of uncensored jade in front of him, it would have to be polished. The polishing process naturally had to be made by him personally. Only in this way could the beautiful jade polished in this way truly belong to his Changsun School.

Changsun Wuji gently tapped Wang Ping'an's bowl with chopsticks and said, "Eat this elbow quickly. If it gets cold, it will get greasy and taste bad!"

Wang Ping'an said oh, picked up the elbow from the bowl, put it in his mouth and chewed it. He said, "This elbow tastes so good and melts in his mouth. No wonder Mr. Changsun likes to eat it!"

Changsun Wuji laughed twice, and he also picked up his elbow and started to eat. The two of them lowered their heads and started to eat and chew.

While taking it, Wang Ping'an thought: "There are too many things that can affect the people of the world if you want to talk about medical skills. For example, the Panax notoginseng I got can benefit countless people. This medicinal material can be used for hundreds of thousands of years."

But when I think about it, Panax notoginseng is new enough, but it will involve war, and it will be used by the soldiers first. This is not very consistent with what Yu Changsun Wuji said just now.

Changsun Wuji spit out a bone and said, "Think about the people of the world, think hard. Well, eat hard. If one elbow is not enough, I will let the kitchen make it until you think about it!"

Wang Ping'an also vomited a bone and thought to himself: "It's so greasy when you eat in hot weather. Be careful of nausea and vomiting!" He thought again, if you have to force yourself to the national economy and people's livelihood, then the difficult and complicated diseases will not work, it must be a common disease.

Typhoid fever? Heat stroke? These are not possible. There are already cases in the forefront. Whether doctors can cure patients is related to personal medical cultivation, but it has little to do with theory!

At this time, after they ate all the food, the elbow plate had already reached its bottom. Changsun Wuji pushed a plate in front of Wang Ping'an and said, "Eat this, beef sauce, made of the best veal, it smells very fragrant, no worse than the elbow!"

Wang Ping'an picked up a piece of beef sauce, put it in his mouth and chewed it, nodded, and said, "It tastes really good!"

He said this, but thought to himself: "It's good to be the prime minister. Although beef sauce is not a delicacy, the taste he made in his house is far more than that of a famous chef in a large restaurant. But when he said it, it will become Wujigong's simple life. The best thing he eats every day is elbow or beef sauce, which is not luxurious. In fact, only those who have tasted it know that if these two dishes are taken outside, they are not cheaper than delicacies!"

Sure enough, I heard Changsun Wuji say, "This beef sauce is made of calf tribute from Turkic tribute, and it is impossible for idle people to eat it. Our Tang Dynasty cattle are used to plow the land. If anyone kills it and eats meat, it is a sin. You can only eat it after you die. No disease, think about it, the meat of the old beef can be compared with the veal, it tastes exactly the same!"

Grassland, cow!

Suddenly, Wang Ping'an had a flash of inspiration. He thought of a big event. This big event is related to medicine, and it can definitely be called it. It is related to the national economy and people's livelihood, and can even be passed down through the ages, so that future generations will benefit forever. Because of this big event, the people who benefit from the survival will count in hundreds of millions of millions. This is by no means an exaggeration, because history has proved that this is a fact!

Wang Ping'an suppressed the excitement in his heart and said, "Mr. Changsun, you are well-informed. Can you tell that there is a disease that is transmitted from the grassland and is very harmful. Since this disease was introduced into the Central Plains, there have been thousands of people who died because of the disease. Do you know the name of this disease?"

Changsun Wuji smiled, put down his chopsticks, stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "You are actually better than me in the exam, and I am very brave! However, I am better than you in the exam, and you will be more than me in the exam, which is fair."

After looking at the beef sauce on the plate, he said, "Foot-and-mouth disease?"

Wang Ping'an shook his head quickly and said, "This is obtained by cattle, sheep and animals. It has nothing to do with humans, and it is even more impossible to let thousands of people die. I mean the disease caused by humans!"

Changsun Wuji said, and after he thought for a moment, his eyes showed a look of fear, and he also remembered that disease. Since this disease was introduced to the Central Plains, it has never been cured. It can be said that there is no cure. People who suffer from this disease either die or survive by themselves. Even if they survive, they often have scars on their faces!

This terrible disease is called smallpox because of scars!

Changsun Wuji said: "What you are talking about is smallpox that was infected by western prisoners of war in the Han Dynasty, known as the "graft sores"?"

Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "That's right, the students are talking about this disease!"

Smallpox, a disease with extremely high mortality rate! In the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was infected by prisoners of war in the west, so it was also called "Supreat Sore"!

In ancient times, all diseases that would be infected and cause a large number of people to die were broadly called plagues! Among all plagues, no matter what method they are ranked, such as mortality rate, onset time, infection area, etc., no matter which aspect, smallpox is definitely ranked first. It is the most terrifying plague, no matter what!

Due to smallpox, the number of deaths can really be said to be used as a unit of 100 million!

If every four people get smallpox, one will die, and the remaining three will leave smallpox scars. Not to mention the distance, just say that Emperor Kangxi of the Qing Dynasty was able to become emperor because he had smallpox, so he was considered not to have a short life. The pockmark on his face was actually acne scars.

This was the case with the Qing Dynasty royal family a thousand years later, let alone the Tang Dynasty folks a thousand years ago! In this era, no doctor had any way to deal with smallpox. Even people like the little fairy man Ge Hong only recorded smallpox in his "Emergency Prescriptions for Elbows", but there was no specific treatment method.

When Wang Ping'an mentioned smallpox, Changsun Wuji suddenly felt a hot feeling all over his body. He grabbed Wang Ping'an's hand and said, "Wujian, what are you doing to lift smallpox? Is there a treatment method?"

Wang Ping'an pondered silently. Of course, he knew how smallpox was prevented, but when it comes to treatment, there was no way to cure it. Even in modern times, no practical, effective and accurate treatment was found. Only supportive therapy could be adopted. The most effective method was prevention.

For ordinary people in modern times, the understanding of smallpox is just the small acne marks on the arm that are left during vaccination and breeding. Many doctors even only hear the name of it and have never seen real smallpox attacks. So he can't say how to treat it. Even if you use familiar methods to get rid of acne, you must start from scratch. You can't say directly that I can prevent this disease!

He shook his head and said, "Students are not good at medical skills and have not yet found a way to treat smallpox!"

After hearing this, Changsun Wuji was disappointed and slowly let go of Wang Ping'an's hand and said, "If we really can find a way to cure smallpox, how good would it be? What is the purpose of making achievements, being a marquis and ministers, or even leaving a picture on Lingyan Pavilion, is nothing. This is the real merit for thousands of years and is famous in history!" After that, he sighed repeatedly and shook his head!

Wang Ping'an nodded and agreed. He cleared his throat and said, "But after research, the student came up with a way to prevent smallpox. As long as he passed the dialectics and specific experiments, it might be available!"

Changsun Wuji was stunned, suddenly raised his hand and slapped Wang Ping'an hard. He said angrily: "How come you guys, you breathe so much, so you fool me."

Wang Ping'an grinned by him and thought to himself: "I can't speak and breathe heavily. You asked me if there is a treatment method. I answered truthfully, and you started to sigh and care about me again!"

Changsun Wuji smiled and said, "Tell me quickly, what have you developed and how to prevent it?"

Wang Ping'an rubbed his shoulders and said, "If you want to prevent it, you must first get smallpox..."

"It's so outrageous to come here to spend my time again!" Changsun Wuji rubbed his beard and almost pulled off a few of them. He said, "It's all over the sky, so how can we talk about prevention!"

Wang Ping'an said: "Sir Changsun, you heard from the students. Have you noticed that cows can also get smallpox?" He pointed to the beef sauce on the plate.

Wang Ping'an's fingers shocked Changsun Wuji, and he said, "I haven't studied it, how could I know? Can a cow also get smallpox? This is the first time I heard of it!"

Wang Ping'an said again: "Lord Changsun must have known about the disease of cowpox, right?"

Changsun Wuji nodded and said, "Of course I know that it is a kind of rinderpest! Why, what is the relationship between cowpox and smallpox? Could it be that they are a disease?"

Cowpox is a relatively mild smallpox disease, which will not be summarized by Jenner, the father of immunology, until the end of the 18th century. Once he summarized this, smallpox disease will be controlled.

Wang Ping'an nodded and said, "Mr. Changsun is right, I... I have come to a conclusion after observing my Wuli Village in my family for many years that cowpox is a type of smallpox disease, which is cow-fried, but it can also be transmitted to people!"

Changsun Wuji shouted, stood up and shouted, "No wonder the smallpox was spread from the grassland. It turned out to be infected by cattle! It's so good. Smallpox has a bad disease and has harmed countless people. Now that you know its source, you can prevent it!"

Wang Ping'an smiled and said, "That's right, smallpox disease can be prevented..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Changsun Wuji say, "I will report to the emperor now and ask the emperor to order all the plowing oxen to be eliminated immediately to exterminate smallpox! The evil disease of smallpox is really terrible. If you can save countless people in the world by killing cattle, then all these cattle should be damned!"

Wang Ping'an said, "This...is not necessary!"
