God-level prince of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 453 Smallpox is coming (third update)

Smallpox... that is to say, there may be smallpox epidemics in the future?

In Li Chengqian's time, smallpox had been eradicated.But in this era, it is a terrible plague.Everyone talks about the existence of discoloration.

Smallpox is a highly contagious disease that confers lifelong immunity after recovery.

Smallpox is one of the oldest infectious diseases with the highest mortality rate. It is highly contagious and serious. Anyone who has never suffered from smallpox or has not been vaccinated against smallpox can be infected. The main manifestation is severe viremia. Mortality is high.

The clinical manifestations of smallpox are severe and mild. The fatality rate of severe smallpox is about [-]/[-]. Nearly half of the cases have confluent rash, and [-]% of them have hemorrhage; the fatality rate of light smallpox is only [-]/[-].

Smallpox virus is a kind of pox virus. There is no specific medicine to cure people after being infected. After the patient recovers, there will be pockmarks on the face. "Smallpox" got its name from this.It has strong resistance, can resist dryness and low temperature, and can survive for several months to a year and a half on scabs, dust and quilts.

In this day and age, there are no effective treatments.The most basic, effective and easiest preventive method is to vaccinate against vaccinia.

When the system revealed this disease, Li Chengqian knew that everything was not simple.

More than half of the system detected some bad information.

In his deep thought, he made Li Shimin call out, but he forgot to respond.

"Gao Ming...what's the matter with you? Why are you in a daze?"

He didn't react until Empress Changsun came over and shook his hand.

"Mother..."

"Gao Ming, what's wrong with you, His Majesty has called you several times, and you are still in a daze?"

Li Chengqian explained:

"My son was thinking about how to go to the Tang Dynasty in the future. So I was in a daze for a while."

No matter what, the smallpox must be resolved.

But as for when it will erupt, he doesn't know, if it can be stopped before it erupts, that must be the best.

"Gao Ming is becoming more and more concerned about the people, which makes me very gratified."

"All this is taught by His Majesty."

Li Chengqian said quickly.

Suddenly, an imperial doctor broke into the Taiji Palace with a panicked expression.It looks like something big is about to happen.

This made Li Shimin very puzzled, and when he was about to have an attack, he heard the imperial doctor yelling.

"Your Majesty, it's bad. Smallpox has broken out in Lantian County! It's very serious!"

The imperial doctor can't wait to finish this sentence for the first time.

"what!"

When Li Shimin heard the word smallpox, there was a bit of fear in his eyes

Coming out of the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood, he is not even afraid of ghosts and gods, but for the word smallpox, his expression is shocked, because compared to the enemies that can be seen, smallpox is more terrifying than any enemy.Because it can kill people invisible, if it is not well controlled, it is possible that the hard-working Datang will be developed overnight, and the economy may regress for decades.

"Smallpox... erupted... this..."

Empress Changsun's complexion also turned pale. If the disease spread to the palace, what would happen to her children?The adults may still have a glimmer of life, but if the child is sick, it is almost impossible to save, and he will die. How can she not be afraid of this?

Li Shentong and Li Xiaochang were also trembling with fright, neither of them could survive in this kind of thing.

Li Chengqian seemed calmer, and he asked directly: "Then how is the smallpox epidemic in Lantian County?"

Lantian County is less than forty miles away from Chang'an City, and it can be reached in less than an hour by horseback.Such a short distance indeed threatened Chang'an City.If smallpox broke out in Chang'an City, it would be a huge destruction!

As far as Li Chengqian knows, the most recent one was a few years ago. At that time, thousands of people died in just one county. Many people were displaced and their families were destroyed.

Now that smallpox is making a comeback, it's time for him to act.He wants to cure smallpox, which is also the task given to him by the system.

And it happened that he recruited Sun Simiao, a capable healer, and let him work with Qi to solve the problem of smallpox.

"His Royal Highness, now 500 people in Lantian County have been infected, and the disease may spread."

At this time, Lantian County must be properly isolated, but it is not Li Chengqian who is in power now, if it is him, then he can give the order directly.

No, Li Shimin is still there.

So he said: "Your Majesty, my son thinks that the smallpox is coming fast this time. Someone must first control the epidemic and prohibit all people from entering Lantian County! And closely check the surrounding counties to prevent the epidemic from spreading! There is also the entire Chang'an City. Martial law allows only going out but not entering!"

Lantian County is nothing more than a county on the edge of Chang'an, and its population is less than one-tenth of Chang'an's. There are now over a million people in Chang'an City, so what Li Chengqian did was right.

Unexpectedly, Li Shentong said: "Your Majesty, smallpox is punished by heaven on the people. I believe that those people are sinners and wicked people! They should be eliminated! Burn them directly!"

In order to protect himself, this Li Shentong can say anything.The ancients used to burn everything to deal with the plague. Once you get sick, you burn it directly, regardless of whether you have smallpox or not, but it is too cruel to do so.

"Li Shentong, where do you put the people?! Although smallpox is terrible, as long as it is isolated, there is still a way! How can you say it is eliminated so easily? What kind of heart do you have? For your own safety, you don't care about the lives of the people. ?"

Li Chengqian called Li Shentong by his name directly, and didn't take him seriously at all.

Because he said such a thing is really contemptible.

It's not worth it for him either.

"Your Majesty, I think King Huai'an is right."

Li Xiaochang also said the same.

"Once this disease occurs, there will be almost no survivors. Your Majesty, if it is not cured, it will be a huge threat to Chang'an! Please give your majesty's order!"

Li Shentong continued.

This guy is really annoying, Li Chengqian can't wait to rub it on the ground!But his body was too small, so he had to persuade Yu Li Shimin.

At the same time, Li Shimin was thinking about the pros and cons.

Empress Changsun also said at this time: "Your Majesty, you must not learn from Shang Zhou, ignore the people's misery, and even add insult to injury. This is not what an emperor did! Your Majesty was a benevolent king before the people. The proud son of heaven who leads Chang'an and even the people of Tang Dynasty to prosperity, don't listen to lies!"

Empress Changsun spoke very emotionally, and she also advocated saving the people.

Li Shimin still didn't respond, probably still thinking about something.

This made Li Chengqian and Empress Changsun very anxious.

Of course, Li Shentong and Li Xiaochang were also a little panicked, after all, this involved life safety.

What is Li Shimin's decision?No one knew what was going on in his mind.
