Daming: I, the emperor who trains the carpenter

Chapter 696 A new life for a prostitute!
The relationship between Zhu Youxiao and Zhang Haogu,

It's not just monarchs and ministers.

The two met by chance, and immediately supported each other, overcoming countless difficulties and obstacles step by step to get to where they are today. The trust between the two parties is comparable to the founding monarch and minister.

Throughout the ages, which emperor would allow a subject to have such great authority?
Zhang Haogu said that Zhu Youxiao was comparable to Tang Taizong, not to flatter him. Zhu Youxiao, a young emperor, had the mind of Tian Khan to embrace all rivers and seas, and the courage to embrace all races and wastelands.

Therefore, the monarch and his ministers worked together to make the great Ming Dynasty flourish, and the guests of the world were convinced.

Maybe there will be no more such monarchs and ministers in the future, but now, this pair of unsuspecting monarchs and ministers are still governing Daming, making Daming stronger and stronger.

At this time in Jiangnan, as the decree to ban Goulan was issued to Jiangnan, the governor of Jiangnan, Wang Wenyan, also found the prefects of various prefectures. Already a little uneasy, he is still as stable as Mount Tai.

"A few days ago, Yangzhou Mansion made a big battle, and the whole world knew about Yangzhou Mansion. Here, the governor would like to thank those officials and gentry in Yangzhou Mansion who have lost their heads, especially Wu Renxing, the former prefect of Yangzhou. .”

"The governor is blind. He believed in such a thing that is not as good as a pig or a dog. The entire Jiangnan province is ashamed to follow him! We all know that Jiangnan is the main push point of the imperial court's new policy in the south, and we all know that the governor is trusted by Yuanfu. As the governor of Jiangnan, this Jiangnan is also the cornerstone for the imperial court to control the south."

"But regarding the matter of Yangzhou, the governor has lost all face!"

Wang Wenyan's tone was extremely flat. Putting down the teacup, he looked at the magistrate of the [-] prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River: "This time, the governor will personally supervise the cleanup of the Goulan. In half a month, within half a month, whoever even heals himself I can’t even clean up the fences below, so I’ll take off my official robes and go back to the farm to grow sweet potatoes.”

The prefects of all the prefectures hurriedly got up: "Don't worry, the governor, I will clean up within half a month after the next official."

After returning to their respective administrations, the prefects of the various prefectures immediately launched operations, and the yamen servants dispatched quickly without giving Goulandi any time to react.

Not to mention Goulan and those casinos this time, there are also some evil gentry and hooligans, all of which are being cleaned up. If they can't submit an answer that satisfies Wang Wenyan, they will pack up and leave.

Don't look at these officials yelling that being an official is hard, being an official is tiring, and they work hard every day and are frightened. They can't be greedy, they can't get it, and they are not as comfortable as ordinary people.

But if you let them take off their official robes and try to be ordinary people, they must be anxious and even desperate with you.

The so-called effective from top to bottom, the requirements of the top will always be the pursuit of the bottom. Now that the capital and the assistant have spoken, the officials in all places are naturally doing their best, and what they do is called being careful.

Dong Lian'er was originally the daughter of a rich family in Wu County, Suzhou, but her parents were killed by a traitor, her family fell into ruin, and she was insolvent, so she was sold by her creditors to this place to pay off her debts.

There are quite a lot of Yanliu Lane in Wu County, not to mention rich gentlemen, hooligans, officials and merchants, and even beggars who want to come when they have money.

In such an environment, what can a weak girl do?
If it was an ordinary woman, she would accept her fate, but Dong Lian'er was different, she did not accept her fate.

She doesn't want to go with the crowd, even if she is forced by Goulan to receive different benefactors, she is still reading books when she is idle, in order to change her own destiny in the future, after all, the land of Goulan also allows redemption.

But Gou Lan doesn't care what Dong Lian'er is, Dong Lian'er's temperament can attract customers, Gou Lan makes Dong Lian'er continue to receive customers to make money, and this also makes Dong Lian'er contract heart disease in just two decades.

At the beginning, Gou Lan wanted to let Dong Lianer continue to make money. After all, dirty diseases can be cured by taking medicine, and Dong Lianer is indeed famous.

But although Dong Lian'er was tough in heart, her body was weak, and Gou Lan was reluctant to send her to a good place for medical treatment, so she was only given some ordinary soup and medicine, so it would be strange if she recovered.

Seeing that Dong Lian'er's illness was getting worse, Gou Lan didn't let Dong Lian'er continue to make money. After all, Gou Lan was also afraid that the customers would be disgusted, and even more afraid that Dong Lian'er would infect other prostitutes.

So Gou Lan threw Dong Lian'er directly into the firewood room and let him fend for himself.

If you can make it through, then continue to make money for Goulan. If you can’t make it through, you can either bury it or cover it up to match the yin marriage. Anyway, it’s more than enough to fool the mud legs of the country.

During the days when Dong Lian'er was thrown into the firewood room, several sisters in the weekdays brought her soup and medicine and meals.

And Dong Lian'er just lay in the firewood room for one day, two days, three days, four days
Although Gou Lan wished that Dong Lian'er would die early, Dong Lian'er insisted on holding on, she didn't want to just die like this, she was still young, and still wanted to redeem herself, so she could get out of here as soon as possible!

Today, the county magistrate of Wu County came to Yanliu Lane. When he saw the magistrate coming, the old bustards in Yanliu Lane rushed forward, but before they could come up to flatter them, the magistrate waved his hand: "Everyone! Take it for the county! Check all the check boxes!"

The yamen servants behind the magistrate of the county rushed directly into Yanliu Lane, followed by a flurry of chickens and dogs jumping, all the fences were searched, all the prostitutes were gathered, and the benefactors were carried to the other side and squatted obediently against the wall. The thugs were put in shackles, and they all looked dazed. What happened?
The bustard and the stewards were so frightened that they hurriedly shouted for grievances: "Oh, my Lord Qingtian, you little ones haven't broken the law."

"You guys are doing business, and you haven't done anything outrageous."

The magistrate of the county snorted coldly: "How can you be serious about Goulan? Haven't you done anything harmful to nature? These women are all voluntarily wandering here?"

"Unfortunately, you still dare to cry for injustice!"

A steward saw that something was wrong, and quickly said: "My lord, my lord, our master is Han Yuanwai, it's Han Yuanwai."

It's okay not to mention it, but the county magistrate's eyes lit up when he said this: "Well, it turns out that you have such evil gentry behind you, no wonder they can be so rampant in this county, come here, go and copy the Han family!"

The steward is confused, what's going on? !

Is this magistrate insane?
How dare he copy Han Yuanwai's home? Doesn't he know that Han Yuanwai's younger brother is a Beijing official?
Chickens and dogs are jumping around in the fence, and the yamen servants are checking the gold, silver, jewelry, and the storefront of the title deed. Suddenly, a yamen servant saw a young woman in the firewood room, and quickly carried her out: "Master, look, there are still people here." one."

As soon as he heard that he was sick, the magistrate took half a step back, but then he stepped forward and looked at the sick beauty who was already haggard in her prime with grief: "What a poor girl, at such a prime age, you are the one who has been taken care of by you!" These people have caused such a disaster!"

"How dare you say you are innocent!"

Saying that, the county magistrate said to Dong Lian'er: "Don't worry, the government will cure you."

Looking at these terrified prostitutes, the county magistrate shouted: "Don't worry, the yamen is here to save you. Now, you don't have to continue to spend your days here. Those who want to go home can go home, and those who don't want to go home , the imperial court will arrange a livelihood for you."

"Shoufu said that they are all citizens of Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court will not give up on anyone."

Dong Lian'er was at a loss, she didn't understand what happened, and she didn't know why the court came to rescue them suddenly, but she knew that her life might be different in the future.

With the joy of getting out of the sea of ​​suffering, Dong Lian'er was sent to the medical clinic in Wu County. Here, Dong Lian'er saw many sisters who were also infected with the disease receiving treatment, and the one who treated them was also a female doctor.

She knows this female doctor, she is the daughter of the Li family, a well-known physician family in Wu County. The Li family has studied pharmacology and medicine with her father since she was a child, and she is well-known in Wu County and even the entire Suzhou Prefecture. She is kind-hearted.

Miss Li looked at Dong Lian'er, who was about her age but suffering from this disease, and couldn't help sighing, women in this world are having a hard time.

But thinking about the Ming Pao I read recently, and seeing a series of policies proposed by the first assistant Zhang Xiangye of the Ming Dynasty to improve the status of women, respect women, and ban Goulan places, etc., Miss Li's family also ignited hope. With the Lord here, the future of Daming women should be much better than the present, right?
All the Goulan places in the south of the Yangtze River have been banned, and women can work to support themselves.

Dong Lian'er was treated by Miss Li's family in this way, and Miss Li's family told her that she didn't need to pay a penny. If you don't go home, the court will make arrangements for your livelihood.

Dong Lian'er showed a smiling face when she heard this: "Sister Li, my younger sister will definitely take good care of her. I thought I would stay in the sea of ​​suffering for a few more years, but I didn't expect to be able to get out of the sea of ​​suffering so early. My younger sister still wants to marry a good family in the future. .”

What happened to Dong's family, Miss Li's family grew up in Wu County and naturally knew something about it, seeing Dong Lian'er's appearance, Miss Li was moved with compassion: "Why don't you stay at my house and study medical science with me? In the future, he can also cure illnesses, save lives, and support himself.”

"Study medicine?"

Dong Lianer's eyes were full of joy: "Can I study medicine with sister Li's family?"

Ms. Li said: "Well, you will call me sister in the future. I will teach you medical principles, and you will help me."

"Yeah." Dong Lian'er nodded vigorously. Studying medicine is also a good way out. After learning well, she will be able to support herself in the future.

Dong Lian'er then followed Ms. Li to learn pharmacology and medical science. For Dong Lian'er, Ms. Li loved Dong Lian'er very much. She treated her like a sister, and she didn't hide her secrets. She taught Dong Lian'er all her medical skills.

Waiting for all the Goulan areas in the south of the Yangtze River to be sealed up and banned, and a large number of hooligans sent to the labor camps to contribute to the construction of Daming, the governor of Jiangnan, Wang Wenyan, also went to various prefectures to inspect in person.

After arriving in Suzhou Mansion, it happened that Ms. Li and Dong Lian'er were checking the girls in the brothel.

The county magistrate of Wu County quickly said: "Governor, the Miss Li family is a well-known benevolent hand in this county. Her ancestors have produced several imperial physicians, and her father is even more rejuvenated."

"Now that Miss Li's family has inherited her father's business, she is well-known in Wu County and even Suzhou Prefecture."

"Who is that next to Ms. Li's family?" Wang Wenyan asked, pointing to Dong Lian'er, who was clearly a weak woman but seemed to have a heroic spirit beside Ms. Li.

The county magistrate of Wu County said: "That's the daughter of the Dong family. Originally, the Dong family was also a wealthy family in this county. However, the family fell into ruin and was raped again, and even the family was ruined. The daughter of the Dong family was also sold to Goulan to pay off the debt. When the official went to the land of smoke and willows to rescue him, he was already on the verge of death and had only one breath left, and the next official saw that his will was so tenacious, so he sent him to the Li family for treatment."

"Miss Li lamented her self-improvement, adopted her as her younger sister, and taught her medical principles. Now the daughter of the Dong family has already mastered the principles of medicine and can cure diseases and save lives. You see, it has only been a few days, and it is as if she has been reborn. It is really a blessing. what."

When Wang Wenyan heard it, he couldn't help but his eyes lit up. What a good example, Yuanfu was absolutely satisfied when it was reported to the court.

So Wang Wenyan stepped forward to ask in person.

Seeing a high-ranking official in a scarlet robe approaching with a large number of retinues, before Miss Li could react, the magistrate of Wu County introduced: "This is the governor of this province."

"The daughter of the people has met the governor." When Miss Li heard that it was the governor of the province, she saluted.

Wang Wenyan didn't have any airs, so he smiled and chatted with Miss Li's family: "Miss Li's heart is like a bodhisattva, she cures diseases and saves people, and she is also well-known in Suzhou, which is a great kindness."

As he said that, Wang Wenyan looked at Dong Lian'er again: "Although Miss Dong's family has changed and she has been living here, it is not easy to get out of the sea of ​​suffering and regain control of her own destiny. If you have difficulties in the future, feel free to write to me. Do your best to help."

Dong Lian'er saluted, neither humble nor overbearing: "Although women are lowly, they also know how to support themselves. It is a great kindness for the court to save the women and others. Now that the women have escaped from the sea of ​​suffering, no matter whether they are medical doctors or female celebrities, they can support themselves. Spending money on women? The imperial court’s money is hard-earned and should be used in more important places.”

Wang Wenyan smiled and said, "Oh? What's important?"

Dong Lian'er said without hesitation: "Minnv heard that the imperial court is currently stationed in southern Liaoning to resist the Manchus, and the Jiangnan coast is also building beacon towers to defend against the Japanese. These are all places where money is used. Minnen can still support themselves now." , but as a waste of court money?"

When Wang Wenyan heard it, she couldn't help but praised: "I really deserve to be a woman of the Ming Dynasty. She understands righteousness, is knowledgeable, and reasonable. What is this? This is to emerge from the mud without being stained, great kindness, great kindness!"

When the governor said this, the county magistrate of Wu County's eyes lit up, yes, what the daughter of the Dong family said absolutely understood the righteousness, and the poor woman in the dust knew the righteousness so well, what is this?
This is a political achievement!
The poor woman who had to go to the dust in her family, did not want to follow the trend, and tried to change herself. Although her body is weak, her ambition is strong. This is her political achievement!

Dong Lianer said again: "How can He De, the daughter of the people, take this evaluation? It is just a little understanding of the righteousness of the family and the country. The Mongolian court rescued the daughter of the people from the sea of ​​suffering. If the court does not give up, the daughter of the people is willing to hand over the gold and silver they have accumulated over the years. The imperial court, for the imperial court to build beacon towers to guard against Japanese pirates, I hope this money is dirty."

Wang Wenyan couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "It's really a strange woman."

After hearing this, the county magistrate of Wu County couldn't help but be impressed by Dong Lian'er's righteousness. There really are such strange women in Wu County.

When Wang Wenyan left, the county magistrate of Wu County also said: "I admire Miss Dong's understanding of righteousness. If Miss Dong's family needs anything, feel free to come to the county government to find me."

After the news spread, the big textile household in Wu County approached Dong Lian'er, saying bluntly that his textile factory still lacks a medical clinic that can treat workers. Set up clinics to treat diseases and save lives.

In the textile factory, there were either the rescued prostitutes or the women from poor families in Wu county. They were basically women. It would be a good choice to open a medical clinic in such a place.

Dong Lianer first asked Ms. Li's opinion. After all, Ms. Li taught her medical skills, and now she was going to open a clinic, and Ms. Li agreed.

Ms. Li is also reasonable and very supportive of this matter. After all, many of the textile mills used to be Dong Lianer's sisters. Helping former sisters is naturally a good deed.

In fact, until now, Dong Lian'er didn't feel that she was fine with being favored by the governor and the county magistrate. On the contrary, she still lived a life of diligently studying pharmacology, and then followed Miss Li's family while studying books.

She doesn't want to rely on others, she wants to change her destiny by herself.

Now that such an opportunity is in front of her eyes, Dong Lian'er wants to give it a try and do something for her former sisters by the way.

In this way, Dong Lianer opened her own medical clinic in the textile factory in Wuxian County. On weekdays, she checked the health of the female workers in the textile factory, and prescribed medicine for anyone who had a minor illness or disaster. At the same time, Dong Lian'er was learning medical skills, and at the same time learning weaving from the female workers in the textile factory.

After all, she used to be a lady from a wealthy family, and this female celebrity knew how to do it. Now she can learn weaving quickly, and soon Dong Lian'er also learned weaving, and she has two skills.

It was at this time that Wang Wenyan wrote a memorial to the Beijing Normal University about the results of the ban on Goulan in Jiangnan Province.

Zhang Haogu looked at the memorial presented by Wang Wenyan, and the more he read it, the more he was satisfied, and a strange woman like Dong Lianer made Zhang Haogu feel that the children of Ming Dynasty had so many wonderful ambitions, and also had new inspiration.

Today's Daming lacks medical clinics that specialize in treating women. If Miss Li and Dong Lian'er in Wu County can organize their own experience into classes and teach them, Daming will have a group of women who specialize in treating women. Doctor, female doctor, will it be much more convenient for Daming women to treat illnesses in the future?

After all, Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism and male-female defense are still very marketable. Many times, it is difficult to diagnose many pathologies because of a single male-female defense.

The folk atmosphere is hard to get rid of in a while.

However, the establishment of several colleges specializing in teaching female doctors can be a precautionary measure. After all, this can be used as the prototype of a professional maternity and children's hospital in the future.

For ancient women, giving birth to a child is undoubtedly a crossing of the ghost gate, especially for the first time giving birth, it is half a foot on the Temple of Yama, and if one is not careful, dystocia and other situations will appear.

If there were so many maternity and child clinics, there would undoubtedly be more guarantees for women who gave birth for the first time, and the death rate of newborns in Daming would be greatly reduced.

Thinking of this, Zhang Haogu wrote back a letter to Wang Wenyan, asking Wang Wenyan to try to open a medical clinic in Wu County that specializes in teaching women to train a group of female doctors.
