The Emperor nodded his head in satisfaction after hearing this. Then, he rewarded each of them with 10,000 taels of silver.
Then, he said, “Go back and study it carefully. See if you can stop smallpox as a whole. Otherwise, once it erupts, it will be a disaster that is no smaller than a natural disaster.”
Hearing him say this, Gu Chengrui suddenly thought of cowpox. He might as well take the opportunity to suggest this so that it does not happen again.
“I have an idea, but it’s not mature yet.”
“Oh, tell me.” After the Emperor finished speaking, he looked at him expectantly.
“I discovered that smallpox will become weaker and weaker as it spreads.
“For example, this time, the first few people who were infected with smallpox were in a much more severe condition, and the time needed to treat them was also much longer.
“Moreover, any smallpox transmitted through young adults would accelerate the weakening of the smallpox’s toxicity.
“Therefore, I want to use strong cows and horses to test if the sickness extracted from them can be weaker.
“If that is the case, could we plant this weakened smallpox into a human body?
“After all, you would never get smallpox again after being infected once.
“Even if it doesn’t work, it will be relatively simple to treat.”
The Emperor looked thoughtfully at Principal Zhou, who was standing in a daze. “Principal Zhou, you were in the epidemic center. What do you think?”
Principal Zhou replied, “Replying to the emperor, I really didn’t notice.
“However, the people who were infected later did recover faster. The pustules were also reduced, so I think we can try it.”
At the same time, he was annoyed. Why didn’t he observe carefully? Otherwise, this massive credit would have been his.
The Emperor’s eyes lit up when he heard that. He looked at Gu Chengrui and said, “I’ll leave this matter to you, Chengrui. If there’s anything you need, just let me know. Go back and accompany your wife. We’ll officially start in three days.”
“Yes.” Gu Chengrui nodded.
After that, he raised his request, mainly for the venue and the people. He could settle the rest himself.
“If there’s anything you need help with, just let me know,” Principal Zhou asked after leaving the royal study.
“Definitely.” Gu Chengrui nodded, bade farewell, and went home.
After returning home, he changed her clothes and bathed in mugwort leaves before walking to the main courtyard.
When he entered, he saw Guoguo crawling on the thin blanket. He went forward and picked her up. “Guoguo, did you miss Dad?”
Guoguo looked at him with a confused expression and turned to look at Mrs. Lin.
Mrs. Lin was about to take her when Gu Chengrui hugged her and asked, “Where’s Mistress?”
“She went to the restaurant and said she would return by noon.”
“Okay, you can go down. I’ll play with Guoguo for a while.”
“Yes, if there’s anything, please call me.” After saying that, Mrs. Lin left and went straight to the east wing.
Gu Chengrui lifted Guoguo up high and examined her carefully. “Our Guoguo is really getting more and more beautiful. She doesn’t even remember her dad anymore.”
“Ah… Ah…” Guoguo replied impatiently. At the same time, the saliva in her mouth fell and landed on Gu Chengrui’s face.
Guoguo chuckled.
“You little rascal, you’re so happy just because you did something bad.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he pulled her into his arms and wiped his face with a handkerchief beside him.
He carried her out of the house.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, Guoguo was overjoyed. She stretched out her arm and pointed the way. Finally, she arrived at the back garden.
When Gu Chengrui saw this, he was elated.
How could he not be happy when she was an eight-month-old child who knew the way? His daughter was the smartest!
