Chapter 455 Call Old 4 in
The Fourth Master is completely idle, and what's even more rare is that he is not in a hurry to show up.
I stay at home every day, either playing with Lin Mingyan or taking the children to read. I am so happy.
The Fourth Master's Mansion seemed like a Garden of Eden, where there was no wind, rain, or fighting.
Now the quadruplets also go to school in the front.
There is no distinction between big and small classes in Si Ye’s kindergarten, and everyone sits in the same classroom for class.
The courses are all the same, except that the characters for older students are more difficult to write, while those for younger students are simpler.
The quadruplets now have their own ponies, which they raise along with their older brothers and sisters.
That day, the Fourth Master came back at noon and mentioned to Lin Mingyan, "The Wu family has almost completed their research. The seventh batch of patients have recovered completely."
"How is it? Is everything okay?" Lin Mingyan's eyes lit up.
Smallpox is the most serious virus of this era. If children have this layer of protection, they will have less worries.
Fourth Master: "Since the fifth batch of patients, there have been no more severe cases, and the infectiousness is even lower than before."
"These patients in the seventh batch simply had some rashes, and not many even had high fevers."
"That's already very good." Lin Mingyan knew that it was impossible to compare the symptoms at this time with those in later generations. This was already a very mild symptom.
The Fourth Master added, "The seventh batch of patients are still adults. We don't know how it will work on children."
"So in the next few days, we will conduct experiments on children."
"It will only be used by Honghui and his team after at least three rounds of improvements."
But to be honest, cowpox is much milder than human smallpox.
In order to make the children suffer less, improvements have been made again and again.
Lin Mingyan felt sorry for the children: "After the experiment, let them stay for a while longer and take good care of themselves."
The people used by the Wu family for clinical trials were all volunteers from poor families.
Just like modern drug trials, it’s voluntary to sign up and then pay.
Although it is still a bit hard to bear, it is much more humane than directly using death row prisoners in prison at the beginning.
The adults were fine. After the experiment, not only would they never get smallpox again, they also took home some silver.
At least I can use the money to get myself back in shape.
But what can children say about voluntary participation?
Aren’t they all sent here by their cruel parents?
Although money was given, it was impossible for the child to keep all the money in his own hands.
If you damage your health here, you might not survive if you go back and find no one to love you.
After hearing her explanation, the Fourth Master also gave the same order, requiring the children to be cured and recovered before leaving.
He was not as soft-hearted as Lin Mingyan, but he was considering that if the child died after he returned, it would be a big weakness for others to attack him in the future.
After all, when he first started studying cowpox, he was most concerned about the health of Honghui and the others.
But after conducting research to this extent, the credit must of course be firmly held in our hands.
He naturally wants to benefit the people of the world, but of course he also wants this fame!
In mid-April, Lin Mingyan heard from the Fourth Master that the cowpox virus had been successfully tested.
The current chickenpox outbreak is even milder than the last one.
The two discussed it and decided that they could give the seed to all the children except the quadruplets first.
Because there was no need to go through the Imperial Medical Bureau, the Fourth Master did not let the outside world know that he had vaccinated the children.
The cowpox vaccine was indeed very good. Within half a month, the children were completely cured.
Especially Honghui, if it weren't for the acne on his back, it would even look like the transplant had failed.
The Fourth Master was so happy that he wanted to run around the capital and loudly announce that his son's vaccination was successful!
In this way, he directly had the quadruplets vaccinated. After all, it really did not cause any harm and the symptoms were even milder than those of a cold.
"Ms. Wu has made great contributions in taking care of the children, so she is granted the title of concubine and enjoys the treatment of a concubine!" The Fourth Master waved his hand and threw the reward down.
However, it was difficult to say that Wu participated in the development of cowpox, so she used the excuse that she was taking care of the children to make the reward legitimate.
Lin Mingyan also rewarded a bunch of goodies, and the Wu family became famous.
The Fourth Master was afraid that she was uncomfortable, so he specially gave her a lot of good things: "Don't be angry, Cha Cha, I know this is your contribution, but it's not convenient to ask for credit for you now."
Although Wu worked very hard in the research and development, it was Cha Cha who came up with the idea of treating cowpox.
If she hadn't suggested this, Wu would never have developed it in his lifetime.
Therefore, in the heart of the Fourth Master, the greatest contributor is of course Cha Cha!
Lin Mingyan's seven children all survived the vaccination in good health, so she doesn't care about this little bit of credit.
But she said: "When you can give me credit in the future, don't be stingy~~"
She is not a person without desires, and her ambition for career will not disappear just because she is in the ancient harem.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have bothered with wine, sweet potatoes, and cowpox. Isn't it good to be a happy rice bug?
Since there is a possibility of fame, why not want it?
I don't have the conditions to ask for it now, but when the Fourth Master ascends the throne, I can give it to her, but why won't you refuse it?!
The Fourth Master put his arm around her shoulders and said as if to assure her, "Don't worry, if that day ever comes, Cha Cha, just go for it!"
If one day he can become the best person in the world, Cha Cha can also become a wise queen. What's wrong with being a little more famous?
He is happy!
Not long after, the Fourth Master organized all the research on cowpox and the final results, and submitted a memorial to Emperor Kangxi.
When Emperor Kangxi first saw it, he thought it was due to his old age and blurred vision that caused such an illusion.
Then, I thought that it was that greedy and reckless guy who deliberately drew up this impossible blueprint.
Finally, I looked at the signature—Laosi!
"Call the fourth brother in for me!" He was so anxious that he knocked over all the tea bowls on the table and asked Liang Jiugong to go find someone.
The Fourth Master knew this would happen when he submitted the memorial, so he did not leave after the morning court and went into the palace to check on his younger brother.
Fourteen has been a bit cocky lately, hanging out with Eighth and the others every day. He thinks it's because the teachers have assigned too little homework.
He went to the prince's residence and was assigned five policy essays: "I will collect them at the end of May. If you don't write well, I will double the money!"
Fourteen was thinking about going horseback riding with Nine and Ten today, but now all of a sudden five policy papers are thrown at him, what's the point of riding?!
"Fourth brother, I'm already so old and have a son, why do I still have to write policy papers?" he protested.
His son is about to have his first birthday, why is he still writing this?
Besides, the emperor was determined not to let them, the young ones, get involved in state affairs. Even though he was full of knowledge, there was no place to put it to good use.
The Fourth Master gave him a sharp look and said, "Then when your son asks you about your homework in the future, will it be bad if you don't know the answer to any of the questions?"
