Lawmaker, Live Again - Episode 491
Chapter 491
At that time, Sima Hui raised his hand and said:.
“I'll look for cows with cowpox on the ranch.!”
“Ooh, the sooner the better.”
Have you always said that starting is difficult?.
In the atmosphere created by Sima Hye, other lawmakers began to say what they would do one by one..
“Then, we will have to have unmanned personnel quarantine all the doctors who have been exposed to the patient..”
“I will prepare some medicine. Because the patient has to endure it for now..”
“The soap is about to run out. I need to prepare this in large quantities.…….”
thank god.
Jin Cheon-hee gave Sama-hye a look of gratitude..
Then Sima Hui pursed his lips and motioned for him not to worry..
Thank you.
It was then.
“Hello! Do you have anything?!”
Podo chiefs, podu, and police officers began to flock in with a pledge of superiority..
Jin Cheon-hee turned around in surprise and saw that everyone was looking this way with grim expressions..
“Visitors must wash their hands before entering..”
But there's no way you can hear that.
“I received a report that a plague broke out here.!”
“It didn't happen here..”
“Anyway, is there anyone here who has smallpox??”
“……there is.”
No quarantine, you guys. We need to do the Jongdu Act.!
* * *
The Fire Empire also has a countermeasure against the plague..
Basic countermeasures range from quarantine measures such as preventing people infected with the plague from leaving their homes and meeting other people, to completely controlling the streets and even controlling the village..
There was also a history of setting fire to the entire village and even burning people to death when a local high-ranking person became violent..
In severe epidemic situations, one castle may be controlled, but in that case, the surrounding economy will also be paralyzed..
In any case, mankind has known for a long time that the basis of epidemics is isolation..
I knew it.
The same was true for Podobu Manager Ma Jong-hak..
‘Oh, damn it. Why are you here? Baeklinui Pavilion is a place favored by His Majesty the King. What should I do??’
If you displease His Majesty the King by disturbing Baeklin’s pavilion for no reason, it will only be a loss..
The problem is that if the plague spreads and many people die, it will have an impact on government positions in the future..
‘Plus, the incinerator came in person.?’
If it were just an ordinary Uigak, I would try to appease him somehow, but the opponent is Baekrin Uigak, and that is also Sogakju..
It's not that Baeklin Uigak has no political power, and it's not easy to see..
Jin Cheon-hee first called Captain Podo to a quiet place, sat him down, and spoke calmly..
“To get straight to the point, Baeklin Uigak is currently in a state where research on smallpox has progressed to some extent. So, if you leave it to me, I think we can control the spread of smallpox to some extent..”
“Is treatment possible??”
“We are unable to provide any treatment other than symptomatic treatment. However, we are trying to make prevention possible..”
“Is prevention possible? So does this mean capitation law? If that's it…….”
There is a way to prevent smallpox even in this day and age..
This is a method of contracting smallpox in advance by inserting pus or scabs from a person with smallpox into the nostril, or by wearing underwear worn by the patient..
It is said that this can prevent smallpox, but since it uses the smallpox bacteria itself, people with weak immune systems often die..
There are other dangers as well..
“Yes, there are cases where the methods used to prevent smallpox actually spread the smallpox. But what I'm trying to say is another way..”
Let's be honest.
It would be even more strange if I were to rephrase it here, using superstitions and beliefs to fit the times..
What Jin Cheonhee said was simple..
“We obtained information from Baeklin Uigak that a person who contracted cowpox never contracted cowpox again, and we have conducted several investigations..”
“Is there data?.”
“It is located at the headquarters. However, it looks like it will take quite some time to get it here..”
“…….”
Manager Podo was lost in thought..
It's not an order from above, and if he just believes in the words of a single member of the National Assembly and uses more nonsense while trying to fight off the small intestine, his career in government will be over..
“I can't help it…….”
“ha ha ha… Take a look at this before you reject it.”
Jin Cheon-hee took out a golden bracelet from her hand as if she had been waiting..
The bling-bling, shining sign of the inspector pierces the eyes of the grape leader..
“omg… … ?! Me, that is……!”
He hurriedly refined his robes and bowed to the sign symbolizing the emperor..
“Ma Jong-hak, the new grape captain, meets his immediate inspector..”
“I am… … I tried to avoid using this as much as possible, sorry.”
Jin Cheon-hee said with a sad expression..
“If you follow my instructions and fail, I am responsible. Do you know, Captain Podo? If there is a disciplinary action later, you can say that it was done under the sole authority of the inspector general..”
Jin Tianxi’s expression was not arrogant..
Rather, he looked anxious, like someone who had swiped a high-interest credit card revolving..
“Maybe you can help me?”
Captain Podo bowed as if he had never spoken arrogantly..
“Please state!”
“under… … . yes. that… Don't tell the police. You can post it in the official document..”
“yes!”
Well, now the die is cast.
The grape boss can handle the matter with Jin Tian-hee's stake, and if Hangzhou goes into trouble, it will be Jin Tian-hee himself who dies..
Gold Silver King took the lives of the people and said, ‘Hehehe, yes. You made a mistake? Let's do better next time?' These are not the people who will move on from this..
“Please send some scribes at this time..”
“Why?.”
“Now that this has happened, I need to record whether smallpox can be treated with cowpox and leave it as a thesis..”
It's a gamble that's already been done, so you'll have to try as hard as you can..
* * *
The first priority is to buy cows infected with cowpox and immediately vaccinate exposed lawmakers..
However, it was difficult for the Baekrin Medical Council members, who had only learned to treat people throughout their lives, to know how to save the cow and whether it was certain that it was a disease called cowpox..
The lawmakers thought they should head to the cattle market first, so they went out in groups of twos and threes..
Then suddenly I met a familiar face from the slums..
“Honestly, we've never done anything like this before. Why not ask someone who lives here about cows??”
Both the House of Representatives and the House of Representatives nodded at the words of a member of the upper house..
I caught a familiar face and explained the situation, and he immediately nodded..
“disturbance? Of course I have to do it..”
“hey! Iron food!”
“why?”
While I was carrying my luggage, someone came running from far away..
“God's doctor said that a cow with cowpox must be saved..”
“what? Then you have to save it. Oh, then I have to go to the cattle market... … . It's a place where you open your eyes and get your nose cut, so I don't know if you can find it..”
“Wouldn’t it be better if you could introduce me to a place where cows with cowpox are raised??”
“right. That would be better~”
The people in the slums were talking about each other and putting their heads together for a while, wondering which household's cows were cow-diggers, and if that were the case, the only solution was to just go to the cattle market..
Everyone seemed to be careful about their work..
Eventually, it came to a conclusion..
“How many do you need??”
“All you need right now is one, and later on, the more, the better..”
“Here, my grandmother looks at cows like a ghost. If I go with my grandmother, I'm sure..”
“Then where is the grandmother?…….”
At that time, a young man from the slums came carrying his grandmother..
“Mr. Cheol’s grandmother was a colonel.!”
Wow!
“No, these crazy people are screaming in broad daylight. Damn.”
The grandmother spoke with a mouth full of missing front teeth..
“No, why buy a cow with cowpox? I need to buy a healthy cow. I decided to get scammed?”
The lawmakers spoke urgently in response to the grandmother’s words..
“To prevent smallpox, you need a cow with cowpox..”
“vaccinia… … ? pock? why…….”
The grandmother thought for a while with wide eyes and then said:.
“ah… … Now that I think about it, I got cowpox when I was young, but I didn't even get smallpox. The same goes for Seohang next door. that… … There used to be a saying that if you get cowpox, you won't get smallpox, but no one believed it, so I forgot. But young lawmaker Nari doesn’t understand that.?”
“Lord Incinerator said he needed it..”
“her…….”
The gun finally returned to the grandmother's blurry eyes..
“That child is looking for me... … ? Then I have to find it. What do you need??”
One of the lawmakers turned his back on me in a hurry..
“From now on, I will carry you..”
“Oh my, how heavy am I?…….”
“it's okay.”
The grandmother said as she rode on the back of the large congressman..
“All you have to do is buy a cow with cowpox at a low price.?”
“I need to buy it quickly now..”
“hurry?”
The old woman was lost in thought and said.
“Then I guess I'll have to ask Childeok next door. You said you need money for that house, but if you talk well, you can buy it cheaply. Childeok lives a little, so it’s far from here..”
“it's okay.”
I never thought I would meet a cow expert in a slum like this..
The lawmakers were secretly amazed..
‘This is how the kindness shown to Kangho comes back..’
The crowd included lawmakers who at the time cursed the people of the slums behind their backs..
They were so embarrassed that they couldn't raise their heads with red faces..
‘It's something I'm thankful for. I'm thankful.’
Then the big young man said.
“Oh my, Rep. Nari can’t even carry an old lady. Give it to me!”
Then, I forced my grandmother to carry me..
“Thank you. Thank you.”
“Carrying people is not about strength, but about skill. If you carry it like that, your back will hurt. You don't even know that when you become a member of the National Assembly.?”
“Oh my, Yonseok. I was glad that the congressman's back was prettier than yours..”
“Even the grandmother is a good person! really!”
He grunted and took the lead..
The lawmakers were so thankful that it brought tears to their eyes..

Vaccination itself is easy with cowpox..
Just give them cowpox..
According to Professor Jeong Yak-yong's book, you can scrape off the cowpox lesions on a cow with saliva, then stick it into a person's arm, and rub the cow's pus or scab on it..
In some places, people cut themselves crosswise with a knife and smeared the pus and scabs..
Of course, this is an approach that requires caution against other infections such as tetanus..
However, either way is quite possible even in this day and age..
However, we improved it further and prepared several needles with two split ends..
It was a needle used in the treatment of the throbbing pox on Earth in the past, and the people of Uigak called it a preventive needle..
It's not difficult to make and the price is cheaper than a syringe, so the unit price is okay..
‘I'm worried if this will be okay.’
Even in Korea, even though this method was known, there was a major setback in the Jongdu law, that is, the Vudu law, due to the suppression of Western learning..
The same was true in England, which developed the cowpox method..
There is no different reason why England was the country with the highest incidence of smallpox even though it was the first country to discover cowpox..
