Hongwu Survival Guide

Chapter 293
After leaving Pingzhang Mansion, Shan Anren and Song Lian, who had already visited the cement workshop, rushed back to the city together, while Shen Quan was assigned another task, rushing to the University of Medicine to find Sun Shouzhen or Dai Sanchun to discuss medicine. Details of the construction of the new laboratory at the University for targeted trial production of prefabricated panels.

From Lord Shangshu's confirmation that he will also attend the court meeting tomorrow morning, personally explain the cement firing process, and think about the recent scene of the medical department, Shen Quan can't hide his excitement.

Watching the two adults leave along the path on the island, Shen Quan took several craftsmen from the cement workshop on a ferry belonging to Pingzhang Mansion and headed north.

Arrived at the North Shore Ferry, went ashore, and walked a little longer, and soon arrived at the front street of the University of Medicine, which was still bustling with crowds in the evening.

Today is the last day of free clinic.

now...

I'm afraid it's the last hour, when it gets dark, it will probably stop.

However, looking at the bustling situation in front of him, maybe... it's not easy to stop.

Shen Quan wanted to go to the main entrance with several subordinates, but it was too crowded, so he had to turn to the east gate.

After notifying his identity, he entered. Wang Shu, a fifth-rank secretary in charge of the daily affairs of the campus, learned that it was Mr. Pingzhang who personally received Shen Quan. However, after some information, Sun Shouzhen and Dai Sanchun Neither appeared.

Both of them are currently doing free medical consultations for the common people on the road in front of the university.

Shen Quan could only talk about the matter with Wang Shu temporarily, and made an appointment for the day after tomorrow, then got up to leave.

Wang Shu personally sent Shen Quan out, and in order to build some relationship with the official who had just come from the boy Pingzhang, he offered to go out through the south gate.

It is said that it is possible to meet Sun Shangshu or Dai Shilang.

After all, the free clinic will end today.

In fact, it was Wang Shu who moved his mind.

When we arrive at the south gate, I'm afraid it's not easy to go out, so we can chat more.

Shen Quan could only look around just now, but after hearing what Wang Shu said, he also wanted to watch the scene of the free clinic up close, so he agreed.

Arriving at the open south main entrance of the University of Medicine, Shen Quan's first glance seemed to be that there was a non-existent barrier blocking two different worlds inside and outside the campus.

In the campus, near the gate, although there are many people of all kinds coming and going, they are still within the normal range.

Outside the campus, it is bustling and crowded.

Although the crowd was not chaotic and there was a relatively obvious formation thanks to the order of the Huben Guard sergeants, but... there were really many.

"It's a grand occasion," Shen Quan said with emotion, already feeling that he would definitely not be able to get out here, so he walked towards the gate and said to the king next to him, "My lord, this... I'm afraid it won't be cured at night, right?"

"But it can only be like this. Our medical department has done its best, and there are [-] rewards from His Majesty, as well as donations from many benevolent people," Wang Shu said with emotion, and said: "This world... can't help you forever. .”

The two said they had already walked out of the school gate.

In front of the main entrance, under the support of the sergeant, there was barely some space, just enough for two people to watch from left to right.

In the winter sunset that was beginning to fall, on the left and right sides of the gate, there are free clinic positions every ten feet. There is a doctor sitting at a table in front of him, either asking questions, checking the pulse, or prescribing prescriptions... On the tables behind the doctors, there are each a doctor. Basket, inside the basket are strings or piles of copper coins.

Shen Quan looked at it for a moment, and happened to see two scenes.

An old man in ragged clothes prescribed a prescription, the doctor said a few words, and a student from the University of Medicine took a string of money from the basket and sent it to the old man.

A well-dressed middle-aged man, after seeking medical treatment, took a prescription, but asked his attendants to put a few slings of copper coins into the basket.

Shen Quan asked his wife to send money before, but there was no free clinic, just to express his affection.

Now, as a student of Confucianism, looking at the harmonious scene in front of him, for a moment, Shen Quan felt...

that's nice!

Over forty years old, from childhood to adulthood, experienced all the chaos at the end of the Yuan Dynasty, Shen Quan's family background was not bad, and he also had his own ambitions in the officialdom, but although he had not experienced all kinds of tragic experiences at the bottom, even the most chaotic At that time, the whole family hid in the mountains for a few years and never went hungry, but Shen Quan really hoped that the world would be safe and secure forever.

So looking at it like this, Shen Quan was a little reluctant to leave.

just didn't leave.

Chatting with Wang Shu, he gradually became speculative, and soon let go of his official position and became brothers.

In this way, until the sky darkened, the free clinic positions were all lit with lights.

The line is still long.

Moreover, knowing that it was the last day, it was inevitable to be agitated, and even faintly cried.

Shen Quan could imagine.

Poor people, if they miss this time, not only the best healers, but also subsidies for soup and medicine... I'm afraid, they won't be able to cure them.

Probably everyone was reluctant to let this atmosphere disappear, so no one shouted to stop.

carry on.

Not only did it continue, but on the campus of the University of Medicine, students soon came out with large baskets and vats of hot rice and hot soup, and distributed them to the people who were still waiting in line in the night, and there were bursts of gratitude on the scene.

In the same night, Shen Quan also saw a tall woman in a cloak and hood, walking out of the school with two women, scattered a bag of copper coins into various baskets, and returned to the school.

When he turned around, Shen Quan realized that this was a bearded woman, and his eyes inevitably followed him. He found that the bearded woman walked in front of another woman in similar attire, said a few words, and then boarded the carriage accompanied by several women and servants and walked towards the east gate. .

Wang Shu's voice came: "Brother Shen, this is Pingzhang's family, don't look any further."

Shen Quan woke up startled, quickly looked away, and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, it's just... this... huh..."

But Wang Shu understood: "That bearded girl is also rare, not to mention she is taller. And that one... is kind."

After these few sentences, Wang Shu didn't say any more.

We all know the woman who teaches girls in the affiliated elementary school. At first, some people thought it was inappropriate. However, there are even female students in the school, so what if there is another female teacher?
What's more, Master Pingzhang arranged to come over.

Since the boy Pingzhang is interested in him, the other party's knowledge is naturally unquestionable.

This is the initial idea.

Later, on the one hand, I got used to it, and on the other hand, I also discovered that this woman is really dedicated to the girls in the affiliated elementary school, even more dedicated than the nuns sent by the empress to take care of her daily care and training, and she was even beaten by some girls. Treated like a mother-in-law.

Just like a Bodhisattva.

Ok.

It's just...it's too cold for everyone except the girls in the attached primary school.This... the family members of Mr. Pingzhang, all the members of the University of Medicine, of course, it is impossible for anyone to have any unreasonable thoughts.

Just, a cold Bodhisattva.

Gee!
Seeing Wang Shu, Shen Quan didn't say much. Although he was curious, he wisely didn't ask too much.

The weather was getting colder at night, but the two of them still kept watch, continued to appreciate the good deeds destined to leave a mark in the history books, and occasionally helped to do small things.

The sky is darker, but there is more light.

Torches, lanterns, and even further away near the lake, bonfires were lit.

When it was getting dark, there were sergeants maintaining order to persuade the people not to line up anymore, and some people who felt that they had no serious illness left the line voluntarily, leaving the opportunity to those who needed it more.

Therefore, the bustling crowd nearby is still decreasing a little bit after all.

Until the end of the Xu Dynasty, the number of patients finally became very small.

However, there are still many people on the street in front of the University of Medicine. Everyone seems to have the same idea as Shen Quan, and they are all accompanying them, waiting for the three-day free clinic to be successfully concluded.

Time goes on.

The team in front of the consultation was divided among each other, and when they had finished reading almost all of them, an old woman who had just received the prescription and subsidy excitedly pulled her accompanying son and knelt down towards the doctor. Spreading from the inside to the outside, they knelt down layer by layer, praising all kinds of words of gratitude in their mouths.

"... You genius doctors have worked hard..."

"...Da Shan..."

"...All blessings, Your Majesty..."

"..."

The doctors, who had been exhausted for three days, cheered up at this time, stood up one after another, and bowed to the crowd in return.

Afterwards, Sun Shouzhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Medicine who was also tired, carefully explained that the students carried the baskets with remaining money to the crowd and continued to distribute them.

until it's all gone.

In the first year of Hongwu, this occasional free clinic, which has since become a regular practice, officially ended successfully on the twenty-fifth day of the twelfth lunar month.

The doctors returned to the University of Medicine to rest, and the street market in front of them was still bustling.

More bonfires were lit.

There was also the sound of gongs and drums.

There is also the sound of drama.

There are many more voices of playful talking and laughing.

Because it was outside the city, there was no night ban, and none of the Huben Guards who were in charge of maintaining order brought up the matter. They just continued to maintain order and guard the beautiful scene in front of them.

Wang Shu's voice sounded in his ear, and Shen Quan came back to his senses.

Didn't hear clearly.

Turn to look over.

Wang Shu smiled and said again: "Brother Shen, do you want to go home, or find a place to have a few drinks?"

Said and gestured in front of him.

Because of the bustle of the past few days, this street has become a bustling downtown with all kinds of vendors in a short period of time.

Shen Quan also showed a smile: "This, such a magnificent scene, of course it is...not drunk and not home!"
