The Emperor finally looked at Gu Chengrui, standing at the side, pretending to be stupid. He asked in a bad mood, “Gu Chengrui, tell me what you think?”
“Emperor, if you want to push out the vaccine as soon as possible, the methods of the imperial physicians are not bad.
“But in the long run, it’s still lacking.”
“Oh, tell me?” The Emperor nodded. He also felt something was wrong but couldn’t figure out what.
Although the few imperial physicians were indignant, they did not refute him because he discovered the vaccine.
However, they still turned to look at him, wanting to see what good ideas he could come up with.
“Humans are always giving birth endlessly. This year, we can promote the spread of cowpox as a smallpox vaccine.
“What would happen to the children growing up next year?
“Should we do this once a year?
“Therefore, I suggest that a medical center belonging to the imperial court be established in each county or even town.
“In addition to the annual vaccine inoculations for children of the right age, the prevention methods for other diseases could also be quickly implemented through this governmental medical center.
“For example, leprosy is one illness we must get rid of quickly.
“Also, we could earn an income by visiting patients.
“This way, not only would the staff not need to be paid monthly, but it would also increase the income of the imperial court.
“Also, the medical skills of doctors varied everywhere, and this medical center could restrict them through examinations. Only those who met the requirements could become doctors.
“The rest will be firmly banned from practicing medicine.
“The last and most important point is that the quality of the country’s medicinal herbs is worrying. There are even those who sell fake medicine. We can also supervise them through this medical center.”
“A medical center.” The Emperor felt it was a little over, but he had to admit that this was a good idea for long-term development.
After the imperial physicians heard this, they looked at each other. For a moment, they did not know if it was a good or bad idea.
“Wouldn’t this crowd the other medicine stores? Wouldn’t it cause chaos?” asked Principal Zhou.
“It’s just one more. It won’t affect anyone as long as we don’t have bad intentions.
“Besides, don’t we have to choose the person in charge from the top local doctors? This way, there will be one or two fewer local clinics.”
Principal Zhou didn’t say anything after hearing this.
When the Emperor saw this, he looked at Gu Chengrui and said, “How about this, Minister Gu? Write me a detailed memorial later. Let’s discuss it properly.
“As for this year’s vaccine promotion, it would be done according to Principal Zhou’s plan. Select a group of doctors in the capital and transfer some apprentices from the Imperial Academy of Medicine to learn how to use cowpox to treat smallpox.
“After they finish learning, I will send soldiers to escort them to various places to spread the vaccine quickly.” The Emperor then looked at Principal Zhou. “Principal Zhou will be in charge of the selection of these doctors. Remember, their character must pass the test. If anything happens, I will come to you for questioning.”
“As for teaching them, let Gu Chengrui do it.”
“Yes.” The two of them replied at the same time.
“Does Lord Gu have a way to prevent leprosy?” Principal Zhou asked after leaving the royal study.
“Not yet, but since the smallpox vaccine is successful, I think there are other ways we can try it.” Gu Chengrui said.
“That’s true. You youngsters are the most aggressive in research.” Principal Zhou nodded thoughtfully.
It seemed that the Imperial Academy of Medicine could also try it. They could no longer limit themselves to treating the people in the palace.
Gu Chengrui said a few polite words and left.
When he returned home, he saw Guoguo, who was already able to walk with Zhou Ying’s guidance. He went forward and smiled. “Guoguo, you’re so awesome! Come to Daddy.”
After saying that, he leaned over and clapped his hands at her.
When Guoguo saw him, she also smiled and clapped her hands. Then, she walked over to him with a serious expression on her face.
When she was almost there, she suddenly smiled and threw herself into his
arms..
