Chapter 284 Rubber
"The commonality is that ... they were all infected with smallpox from cattle."

"ox?"

Emperor Xuanwu hesitated:
"You mean, the cows got the smallpox first, and then it got to them?"

"That's right!"

Yun Shu said seriously:
"So I was thinking, could it be that after passing from the cow to the human, the symptoms of smallpox would become much milder?"

"You want to try to prove it?"

Emperor Xuanwu nodded. He didn't mind trying it once or twice. There were many death row prisoners waiting to be executed anyway.
Before they are taken away and executed, there is nothing wrong in letting those characters make full use of their abilities and make a final contribution to Tiansheng.

But the problem is, the person testing the drugs that he saw in the picture before was clearly that kid Lao Liu!
Did something go wrong?
After all, smallpox is very dangerous, and Xiaowu and Laoliu have such a good relationship. It doesn't make sense that she would leave a bunch of death row prisoners alone and let Laoliu be the one to test the medicine!
Emperor Xuanwu was worried because the life choice simulation system had never changed any of the endings before.
At the same time, he couldn't help but start thinking about sending Yun Chuhuan to a safe place for a while to see if he could avoid this disaster.

First of all, we need to ask Xiaowu to arrange the drug testing site as far away as possible——

"Well, first have someone find an independent place outside the city that can be completely isolated from the outside world..."

Once smallpox spreads in the capital, it will undoubtedly be a huge blow to Tiansheng.

It is normal for Emperor Xuanwu to be so cautious.
Yun Shu didn't think much about it. After agreeing, he started to do them one by one.

Of course, before sending the imperial doctors to the farm outside the city, she did not forget to go to the Tianwaitian Restaurant again.

"Your Highness?"

That incident just happened yesterday, and Tang Xinhua thought Yun Shu would be busy for a while.

But I didn't expect that Yun Shu would appear here again just one night later.

She couldn't help being a little surprised:
"How are you today..."

"Didn't I say I would come to your place to see the carriage?"

People these days are terrified of smallpox. Yun Shu herself knows the feasibility of the cowpox vaccine, but she can't say anything about it until it is put into practice in Tiansheng.

If word got out that she was sending people outside the city to study smallpox at this time, it would probably cause panic among the people.

Therefore, even though he was facing Tang Xinhua at the moment, Yun Shu did not say much, but just raised his eyebrows with a smile:
"I asked my cousin yesterday if she noticed anything special about the carriage, but she hasn't answered me yet."

"That carriage..."

Although I don't know why Yun Shu is still thinking about the carriage at this time,

But Tang Xinhua still led Yun Shu to the backyard and responded:

"The carriage wheels seemed to be covered with something. After His Highness had the ground paved with cement, the carriage ran much more smoothly than before.

Now with this layer of material wrapped around the wheels, not only does the car run more smoothly, but even the sound of the wheels rolling over the ground has become much quieter.
Although I have never ridden this carriage on land without concrete roads, I think it should be much better than before."

"anything else?"

"besides?"

Tang Xinhua was stunned for a moment and couldn't figure it out.

In just a short while, the two of them had arrived next to the carriage.

Yun Shu didn't wait for Tang Xinhua to give her an answer, but got on the carriage herself, knocked around for a while, then lifted the curtain and motioned Tang Xinhua to come up and take a look:
"Cousin, do you think this carriage looks a bit thick?"

"It is a bit thicker than normal ones, and the inside is relatively soft. If someone accidentally bumps into something while sitting inside, it won't hurt too much."

Tang Xinhua nodded. She had actually noticed this before, but she originally thought it was caused by putting too much cloth or cotton inside.

But now that Her Royal Highness has pointed this out, then...

"The stuff inside and the stuff around the wheels are all made of rubber."

As expected, Yun Shu quickly spoke up to confirm her guess—

"And these."

After tapping a certain inconspicuous spot on the wall of the carriage, Yun Shu took out a few pairs of rubber gloves from the secret compartment:
"This is all made of rubber and is waterproof. If you encounter an infectious disease, wearing this and covering your mouth and nose with a face towel can greatly reduce the risk of infection."

"Then you must keep these, Your Highness!"

Tang Xinhua was still worried about what she heard yesterday. Upon hearing this, she immediately took out the rubber clothes and shoes from the secret compartment:

"These should be made of the same material, right? If I wear these..."

"If you wear these, you won't have to worry about the rain."

Yun Shu picked up the raincoat and casually gestured at Tang Xinhua:
"Except for the gloves I'm taking, the rest are left with you.

Next time it rains, have someone wear this and walk around outside a few times so that as many people as possible can see it.

When more people want to buy this stuff, the rubber business in Qiongzhou will be able to flourish.”

"Rubber business?"

Tang Xinhua felt the strange touch of the rain boots in her hands and suddenly realized something:
"This rubber is only available in Qiongzhou?"

"That's about right. Even if there are some in other places in Tiansheng, there aren't many."

Seeing that Tang Xinhua reacted so quickly, Yun Shu simply said a few more words to her:
“People say Qiongzhou is a remote and poor place, but in fact there are many things there that have not been developed.

If this rubber business can be developed, the situation in Qiongzhou will definitely be greatly improved, and all of these can be counted as my cousin's political achievements.

If we can help open up sales channels faster, we might be able to get my cousin promoted before the end of this year."

Yun Shu had actually mentioned this thing called rubber to Tang Muzhi before he left Beijing.

It was just that maybe because he had just arrived in Qiongzhou, he had many things to arrange slowly.

Due to technical reasons, it took more than a year to finally figure it out.

Fortunately, it was delivered in time.
These gloves might just come in handy right now.

……

While Yun Shu was still trying to ensure the safety of the imperial doctors,
On the other hand, the eldest prince, who had been sending people to secretly watch her, also successfully learned some news -

"You mean, the princess secretly took away a large number of death row prisoners from the Ministry of Justice?"

"Yes."

The person who came back to report said in a deep voice:

"Last night, Deputy General Zhuo Fengxin of the Capital Camp personally went to the Ministry of Justice's prison to arrest the person, holding the princess's order."

I'm going to take a leave for the first update. See you tomorrow_(:з」∠)_
