Chapter 300 No one dares to report?

I don't want to discuss too much about Tang Xinhua, a name that both his son and daughter are particularly fond of.

Emperor Xuanwu raised his eyes and glanced at Yunshu:
"You just said you had something else to report to me?"

"I'm done talking!"

Yunshu's two bright eyes had the word "Wu" written on the left and "Gu" written on the right.
It looks like the only thing missing is a horizontal banner in the middle that says "Father, are you stupid?"

Emperor Xuanwu: “…”

The veins in the shape of a Chinese character "井" on his forehead jumped uncontrollably twice.
Emperor Xuanwu decisively raised his hand and pointed outside the door:
"Get out of here too!"

"Oh."

Yun Shu has become so accustomed to these words that would make anyone tremble with fear when hearing them.

Yun Shu calmly said, "I'm leaving now," and walked out of the imperial study with brisk steps.

"Third brother, are you still here?"

Not surprisingly, he saw the Third Prince still waiting at the door.

Yun Shu smiled and told him the good news:

"Father has agreed to put you under house arrest on the farm."

"Zundu?!"

The Third Prince was so excited that he didn't even have time to straighten his tongue:

"Father, do you agree?"

"Of course it's true. Why did I lie to you?"

Yun Shu raised his eyebrows and saw that the Third Prince turned around and couldn't wait to go to the manor.
She quickly stopped him again:

"I have made it clear to you in advance that the village is now a place dedicated to testing drugs and treating smallpox patients.

After you go there, even if my cousin is fine, for the safety of other people in the capital,
To be on the safe side, you still have to stay there until the imperial physician has finished testing the medicine and confirmed that it is completely safe before you can return."

"That means I don't have to go to the Honglu Temple every day to be on duty, and I can stay with Miss Tang all the time?"

The third prince became even more excited:

"How long will the imperial physician continue to test the medicine? Is ten years enough?"

Yun Shu: “…”

She was worrying too much and forgot that the third prince was also a real salted fish.

He was so happy that he didn't have to go to work!
Unfortunately, taking a ten-year break is more like dreaming about it.

It took less than three months for Yun Shu to receive news from Zhuangzi.

Of the first ten death row inmates who were tested on the drug, eight survived, one had been severely punished before, and one did not survive due to his old age.

After the second group of imperial doctors made slight improvements, nine out of ten death row prisoners survived, but one, who had a pre-existing illness, died.

After the third batch of improvements, all ten death row inmates survived.

The fourth batch of twenty death row prisoners...and the tenth batch of fifty death row prisoners, all survived!

"…At this point, we all agree that the smallpox prevention method proposed by Your Highness is completely feasible!"

The last line of words in the letter was written in such a flamboyant style.
Just by looking at the handwriting, one can feel how excited those imperial doctors were when they wrote this sentence!
The latest issue of the Beijing Daily and Tiansheng Weekly was printed in a hurry. The court called on everyone to go to the village outside the city to receive a free "vaccine" to prevent smallpox. It soon became a topic of common concern to everyone inside and outside the court - "Have you heard about the smallpox vaccine?"

"How could I not have heard of that? They say the court pays for it and gives it to everyone for free, with priority given to young people and children, but you need to live in that farm outside the city for a while."

The speaker was a dark and strong man who was carrying a load on his shoulder and preparing to go to the market. When he talked about this, the words "disbelief" were written all over his face:

"Anyway, I will definitely not send my son Da Zhuang to go. Who knows what this vaccine is about?
If there really were no harm at all, people wouldn't have to worry about contracting smallpox anymore...

It's such a good thing that those powerful people are lucky enough to go there without paying, how can we get a chance to go for free?"

"What you said makes sense."

The thin old man who spoke first sighed:
"But I always feel that there is no reason for His Majesty and His Royal Highness the Crown Princess to harm us!
If they want to test drugs on us, the elderly should be given priority.
If all the young people and children are gone, won't Tiansheng be ruined?"

"Could it be that the old man's body couldn't handle the medicine?"

The main feature of the black and strong man is that he is incorrigible:
"Anyway, I'm not going. What if His Majesty and His Royal Highness are really willing to sacrifice us for the sake of millions of people in the future?
There doesn't seem to be anything unreasonable in sacrificing a small group of people for the benefit of the world.

But we only have one life, why should I sacrifice it for future generations?

Even if we lose our lives for this, no one will remember our kindness!"

"..."

The black and strong man is not the only one who has such thoughts.

In fact, even in modern society, when a new drug that sounds incredibly effective and is free or cheap first appears, it will also be questioned by countless people.

Not to mention that this was in ancient times when human life was worthless and any minor illness or pain would cost a lot of money to take medicine to treat it.
Without the numerous tedious but reassuring scientific tests, it is perfectly normal for people who are terrified of smallpox to have such concerns.

Not only the common people, but even the ministers in the court and the children of the aristocratic families, none of them took the initiative to sign up.

Two whole days passed, and the eunuch sent by Emperor Xuanwu to take notes at the registration point brought back a registration form that still did not have a single name on it...

No, there is a name!
After Li Dehai saw the name the eunuch had given him, his expression changed again and again. Finally, he sighed helplessly and went to find Emperor Xuanwu:

"Your Majesty, today's registration form... has been brought back."

"Ah."

From Li Dehai's cautious tone, one could tell there was no good news.

Emperor Xuanwu did not even raise his head:
"No one signed up today?"

"Today, there is one."

"Oh?"

There is actually one?

The difficulty with this kind of thing is that no one dares to be the first to try it.

Now that there is this first person who has taken the step to sign up for the smallpox vaccine, there will surely be a second, a third, and even countless more people following him!
Emperor Xuanwu had already begun to consider whether he should arrange for some of the palace servants to go to the manor first if no one was willing to volunteer.

But I didn’t expect that someone would sign up on the second day?

Emperor Xuanwu raised his eyes with some surprise:

"Who gave the name? What's his surname? A commoner or an official?"

"This……"

Li Dehai lowered his head even lower and raised his hands holding the list high:
"Yes... Your Highness."
