Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1666, State Warriors

Qizhou, Huguang.

Li Yanwen was practicing medicine in the countryside as usual, and he had completely forgotten about Fang Zi.

At that time, although the sky-high bounty was exciting, it was also out of the mentality of trying to see if it would work. After all, it was a major epidemic that affected hundreds of thousands of people.

"Uncle, your illness should be a long-standing illness. Whenever it rains, your feet will be sore."

"Yes, yes, Dr. Li, you are really amazing."

"It's not a big deal. The humidity is too heavy, and the wind and cold are penetrating to the bones. I will prescribe a prescription here. You can grab the medicine yourself. This is taken internally. In addition, you need to soak more hot water frequently, which is conducive to blood circulation in the body and expels moisture. .”

"Doctor Li, how much is the consultation fee?"

"Ten cents is enough."

"Okay, okay, there are really not many genius doctors like you, Dr. Li, and the consultation fee is so cheap."

"I have never paid much attention to money in my practice of medicine. It is enough for me to support my family."

Li Yanwen smiled and began to write prescriptions. As a ring doctor who travels from village to household, his income is actually very meager. He has to walk a lot every day, but his income is not high, which is barely enough to support his family.

"Doctor Li, Doctor Li~"

At this time, an official came hurriedly on horseback.

"Brother official messenger, what's the matter?"

Li Yanwen looked at the official in front of him and asked quickly.

"Doctor Li, you are now famous and rich."

"The prescription you presented last time has played a big role in Jiangnan. Hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangnan have been cured quickly by relying on your prescription, and the epidemic has been brought under control."

"All the rewards from the imperial court have come to us, you should hurry up and go back with me to receive the rewards."

The official said excitedly: "One hundred thousand taels of silver, now you don't have to travel around from village to household anymore, you can open a big medical clinic in the city."

"Ah~"

Li Yanwen was shocked when he heard this. He didn't expect that the prescription he offered would be really useful, and now even the rewards have come down.

One hundred thousand taels of silver, thinking of this, Li Yanwen is not calm anymore. Although he has always been indifferent to fame and fortune, and practicing medicine is not for money, who doesn't like money, let alone one hundred thousand taels of silver all at once.

With this money, he will have no worries about food and clothing in the future, and more importantly, he can also open a medical clinic that he has always wanted to open.

"Pick up, pack up, and come back with me."

"Now our Huguang political envoys have come to our Qizhou. Now you are really famous. The Ming Daily has reported this matter in detail, and published your prescription."

"It was said in the newspaper that the prescription you contributed not only cured hundreds of thousands of people in Suyang and Yangzhou, but also benefited our entire Ming Dynasty. Schistosomiasis will be cured in the future. I am south of the Yangtze River Basin in Daming and Nanyang This schistosomiasis is everywhere in various provinces, overseas colonies and vassal states."

"I don't know how many people died of schistosomiasis. Now that you have your prescription, I don't know how many people can be saved."

"I heard that Suzhou and Yangzhou are engraving biographies here. Dr. Li, your name and prescription must be written on the top."

"And even the Son of Heaven knew about it, and even approved the word 'holy hand and wonderful doctor'. Now we all in Qizhou, and even Huguang feel that we have face."

The officials were very excited. A famous doctor came out of Huguang, and even the people from his hometown followed Yu Yourongyan.

"Doctor Li is really amazing~"

"Isn't it? Everyone in Qizhou knows that Dr. Li has excellent medical skills and high medical ethics."

"I didn't expect hundreds of thousands of people in Yangzhou, Suzhou, to be rescued by Dr. Li's prescription."

"This is a great merit."

"Isn't it? Even the emperor knew about it, and even approved the writing by himself. Both Yangzhou and Suzhou set up monuments for Dr. Li."

When the surrounding villagers heard this, they immediately nodded.

Li Yanwen's medical skills are superb, the fees are low, and he has saved many people by hanging the pot to help the world.

It's just that he didn't expect that the prescription he contributed could cure hundreds of thousands of patients in Yangzhou and Suzhou.

Li Yanwen hurriedly packed his things and hurried back to Qizhou City.

Qizhou City, at this moment, the whole city is beating gongs and drums, and the gongs and drums are loud and lively.

Qizhou is a famous doctor, and the prescriptions he contributed are good. Hundreds of thousands of people in Suyang and Yangzhou solved the big problem of schistosomiasis, and made great contributions to the treatment of schistosomiasis in large areas south of the Yangtze River.

The emperor approved the inscription, the imperial court rewarded [-] taels of silver, and the governor of Huguang came to Qizhou in person, which made Qizhou boil all of a sudden.

For a small place, such a thing is definitely a big deal, and it is enough for everyone to be happy.

"The official came to Qizhou according to the emperor's will and the imperial court's order, and presented a pair of clothes with a plaque of 'Holy Hand and Wonderful Doctor' to Li Yanwen. The words on it were inscribed by the emperor himself and ordered the craftsmen to imitate them."

"In addition, the imperial court rewards one hundred thousand taels of silver!"

In front of everyone, the governor of Huguang presented a plaque to Li Yanwen. The words on it were inscribed by Emperor Hongzhi himself. At the same time, he opened a large box full of silver dollars, revealing a box full of shiny silver inside. of silver dollars.

This made everyone at the scene couldn't help but widen their eyes.

One hundred thousand taels of silver!

These people around have basically never seen so much silver at one time in their entire lives.

What a huge fortune this is.

Li Yanwen took the plaque with a smile on his face, and then ordered someone to carry the box containing the silver into his home. He felt dizzy, as if he had been knocked unconscious by a huge pie falling from the sky.

Now that I have the money to open the clinic and have a lot of surplus, I don't have to worry about money in my life.

Looking around again, many people looked down on Li Yanwen, a Dr. Ling who went from village to household. Dr. Ling had no status and was very poor.

But now, everyone's eyes on Li Yanwen have changed. Who would have thought that a small prescription could be exchanged for one hundred thousand taels of silver? Even the emperor was shocked and even approved it.

In the Imperial Study Room in the capital, Emperor Hongzhi was carefully reading the memorials submitted by Liu Jin.

The memorandum explained in detail the situation of schistosomiasis in Suyang and Yangzhou, the epidemic prevention work, and the follow-up related matters.

The epidemic has been brought under control, and the patients have received effective treatment. The order in Suyang and Yangzhou has been restored, production and life have returned to normal, and the surrounding areas have not experienced any major fluctuations. The epidemic is considered to be over.

But Liu Jin also explained in detail some things other than the epidemic in the memorial.

For example, promoting healthy and hygienic living and eating habits, requiring cities and villages in various parts of Daming to manage manure and build septic tanks, and not to discharge human and animal manure at will, so as not to pollute water sources and spread diseases.

This matter seems to be just a personal matter, but when it rises to the national level, it is related to the health and safety of thousands of households.

In the past, the imperial court would not take care of these things at all, but after this epidemic, it must be deeply aware of the importance of promoting this matter in all parts of Ming Dynasty.

Once an epidemic occurs, the losses will be greater and more serious.

The promotion is also for the health and sanitation of the common people, and for the long-term stability of Ming Dynasty.

Then Liu Jin proposed to clean up schistosomiasis in the Yangtze River Basin of Daming and the southern provinces to the south, asking the local governments to organize the people to clean up the snails for centralized destruction, and at the same time promote the treatment of schistosomiasis. people know.

This is called the combination of prevention and treatment, and it is an action to turn to the extremely harmful and highly contagious schistosomiasis, so as to prevent the recurrence of the situation in Suzhou and Yangzhou.

Finally, Liu Jin emphasized the importance and necessity of establishing a sound epidemic prevention mechanism.

It is believed that the exchanges between Daming and other parts of the world are becoming more frequent and closer, and at the same time, the cities are developing rapidly, and the population is concentrated in the cities.

All kinds of epidemics will inevitably appear again, which will pose a huge threat to Daming.

At the same time, it also pointed out that the current Daming government lacks a mechanism to deal with the epidemic and relevant laws and regulations, the division of powers and responsibilities is not light, and the division of funds is unclear.

Liu Jinshun also submitted a complete set of plan mechanisms to establish a complete response mechanism to ensure Daming's safety.

Emperor Hongzhi watched very carefully, but also very slowly.

Although Liu Jin's memorial is not as elegant as other ministers, and even mentioned a lot of indecent words, such as dung, other ministers would never write these things on it, but Liu Jin wrote, wrote It's very straightforward.

But after Emperor Hongzhi read it in detail, he couldn't help nodding his head.

Liu Jin's work has always made him feel at ease and like him very much. The epidemic in Suyang and Yangzhou was quickly brought under control by Liu Jin, and he also quickly found a cure.

But Liu Jin not only saw this matter, but also saw the long-term future, and proposed to build a perfect mechanism, which made Emperor Hongzhi look at Liu Jin again with admiration.

"Guo Shi Wushuang, Guo Shi Wushuang!"

"With Liu Jin here, I have nothing to worry about!"

Emperor Hongzhi let out a long sigh.
