v7 Chapter 51: Saga promotes the vaccinia law

I brought Fukuzawa Yukichi to the house, and it happened that Yoshida Shoin came home from get out of class. Seeing that there was another little brother in the house, it was no surprise that I naturally sat down and talked with Fukuzawa Yukichi.

I don't know how to drop it, or if Yoshida Shoin is really charming, the two chatted for a while and they became good friends. Fukuzawa Yukichi treated Yoshida Shoin with more enthusiasm than treated Tademon, and the two of them called the Kisei brothers on the spot.

Hey, I hope that Fukuzawa Yukichi will not get his brain fever one day, and become the big disciple of Yoshida Shoin. Then when the next big boss is ranked, the big brother will not be able to rank!

But we Chuemon is already sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, and Yoshida Shoin is my little brother!

Once the family had finished eating, Tadaoemon simply asked Yoshida Shoin to take Fukuzawa Yukichi to go to school. The two could also squeeze to sleep together, and teach each other. Memorize vocabulary during the day and learn English at night, the kind of serious learning English.

"Yesterday I heard that the shogunate would choose orchid medicine and come to Edo to teach western medicine and other techniques?" Yoshida Shoin held a bowl of miso soup at the breakfast table.

"There is such a thing. Hou Hamamatsu thought that if there is an orchid medicine in the future, if there is an orchid medicine, it can be helpful, so he recruited professors and planned to open an orchid medicine department." Chuyouweimen nodded.

The newly established foreign school was meant to be run in a big way. Although the purpose is to strengthen the army and train foreign language talents, it is always good to run a school anyway. And there is no harm in learning Western medicine. Western medicine can flourish, naturally there is his reason, and many things can indeed be learned.

"So, the school also recruits medical students?" Fukuzawa Yukichi also spoke carefully, and he stayed at Chuemon's house, inevitably restrained.

"That's natural, at least one hundred medical students should be trained." The specific number must be based on enrollment, and Chungemon can't be sure.

This time, the recruiting of medical teachers is based on the cooperation of Dutch and Japanese. The Dutch doctor invites one, and the Japanese orchid doctor also invites a few to come to Edo together. Anyway, those who learn orchid medicine must be fluent in Orchid this year. There will be no problems in teaching and communication, and there is a Japanese doctor, and this student also No need to pass the language barrier.

"That said, I suddenly remembered one thing." Yoshida Shoin poured the soup into the bowl and drank it. There were still a few rice grains in the bowl, which should not be wasted.

"how?"

"Saga Hou seems to have some new Western medicine, it's a big noise, what's it called. By the way, it's called the cowpox method!" Yoshida Shoin not only studied at school, but also made countless friends.

"The cowpox method?"

"Yes……"

It turned out that this year, while the Edo side was confronting the British, Saga began to promote the vaccinia prevention method for smallpox. But the promotion was useless before, and the people were drumming up in their hearts.

This vaccinia method, who knows what it is. And listening to the name is something made out of cattle. Is this animal the same as a human? How can people use it for livestock?

Don't say anything about common people's ignorance, this is a normal reaction. People in later generations knew that vaccinia should be cultivated in advance to prevent smallpox, and they were used to it. They didn't find it strange. However, in Japan in 1849, under the deep-rooted feudal social system, cowpox was still an unheard of existence, and ordinary people felt very resistant.

And our old acquaintance, Saga Hunabeshima Nao is a big name advocating Western science. This time, he said that "respect for foreigners and foreigners" is really not a derogatory term. He actively introduced the vaccinia method, which is one of the hopes that the baby will die. The culprit, smallpox, can be controlled, but what if the people don't buy it.

Easy to handle!

Very easy to handle!

You don’t believe me, I use my biological son as a test product!

So Naomasa Naomasa was in full view and let the heir of the Saga clan, the future Naodai Naodai, be inoculated with cowpox!

Good guys! This is really a groundbreaking move. There is one thing to say, in the case that the effectiveness and side effects of the vaccinia method cannot be determined 100%, Naozao Naozheng directly used his son as a test product, especially if there is a prince who needs 350,000 shi at home. In case of inheritance.

I really want to boast, the pioneer is bold!

The people of Saga watched Nabeshima directly planted his son with cowpox, and then there were no serious side effects. It was only heated for a while, leaving a small scar on the arm.

For a while, all the people's doubts disappeared, and they accepted the idea of ​​vaccinia to prevent smallpox. After all, even the young master has been vaccinated. How precious is his life. The son of a famous family who is three hundred and fifty thousand high and actually more than one million shi has been vaccinated. Is it possible that their little common people live more than their lives? Fine and expensive?

Because of this, Saga took the lead in promoting the vaccinia method in the domain, and he has done a great job!

Hundreds and thousands of years ago, the number of people who died because of smallpox is really uncountable. Many children are not considered human before the age of seven, because the mortality rate is too high, maybe ten out of four or five are born. That kind of disease died. Among them, smallpox is one of the culprits.

If this vaccinia method can be extended to the densely populated, relatively densely populated Edo, that would be a great thing.

"Saga Hou will also come to the prefecture soon, and may offer the vaccinia method to the shogunate. There were many young masters who died of smallpox in the early days. I am afraid this time I will pay attention." Okay, leave it to the servants outside.

"That's good, it makes sense~lightnovelpub.net~Tadaemon also finished eating.

Shoin Yoshida is right. Tokugawa Jiaqing did have several children who died because of smallpox. If vaccinia was planted in advance, wouldn't it be able to survive. If they survived, the shogunate would still worry about inheritance issues, and some of them would have their sons to be elected. Inferring from this, I am afraid that Tokugawa Jiaqing might try the vaccinia method.

"You guys go to school, I'm going to watch Omo." Chuemon thought about going to watch Omo to inquire about it.

It’s not a secret thing. Even the school started to spread it. Those samurai masters who only know how to chew their tongues, must have broken the matter apart, and almost chewed it up. Feed it to Chuemon again.

When Chungemon arrived at the official hall, he hadn’t even sat down, and as expected, officials familiar with him came to share gossip. The work of the shogunate center is only for living, and it is their duty to spread gossip. And they will feel itchy and uncomfortable if they don't spread gossip.

"Tadaemon, have you heard that the young master of the Saga Hou's family planted some kind of cowpox."
