PreviousBack to directoryNext
Upon hearing Sun Chengzong's inquiry, Chen Jisheng complained repeatedly: "I'm running so hard that my feet are almost broken. I've searched and asked everywhere, but no one knows where you are."

Zhang Jiebin quickly apologized to everyone, and then said: "I was chatting in the film studio of Daliu Market, and I worked on it for a long time. You see, in just half a day, I earned a hundred yuan!"

Everyone couldn't help but marvel at this, and even Wang Tingfu couldn't help but praise: "Okay, Sir, you have grown up, and your half-day effort is almost worth ten days of other people's wages."

Zhao Fengxiang said angrily: "Are you praising Hui Qing, or are you hurting him? You compare Hui Qing with the minimum income. Who doesn't know that a craftsman in the capital can earn sixty or seventy pence a day?"

Zhang Jiebin also smiled and said: "Brother Tingfu didn't mean that, but I also asked. During the temple fair, the income is high. Half of the cutting work can earn fifty or sixty cents. As for me, I am barely better than them."

Zhao Fengxiang laughed and said: "Look, ten years have passed and the minister has not changed at all."

Zhang Jiebin remembered what he had promised the old man before, so he said to everyone: "I have agreed in advance that from tomorrow onwards, everyone will find work for me. If the salary is less than 80 yuan, I will pay it myself. If it is more, I will keep it."

If they are handed in uniformly after the market closes, it will count as everyone’s contribution to the epidemic.”

"Okay, I didn't plan to take it easy when I came here." Wang Tingfu responded directly.

Several other doctors from Tai Hospital also said there was no problem.

"Then let's settle it. Add me to the total of eleven people. I'll count it as a hundred coins, and it will be nine hundred coins a day. No more, no less." Zhang Jiebin said.

"Isn't this right? Brother Zhang, why do I feel that you have underestimated the number of people?" Chen Jisheng counted the number of people and asked in confusion.

Zhang Jiebin smiled and said: "I only counted the people from Taiyuan Hospital, and naturally you and the exam-taking brother were not included."

"Master Hui, I'm going to talk about you now. Did you leave me out, or did you leave out Brother Fengxiang?" Zhang Ruyi did not agree.

Zhang Jiebin immediately slapped his forehead and shouted that he had made a mistake. This time, together with Fu Maoguang, a total of eight doctors came from Taiyuan Hospital. Including Zhang Jiebin, Wang Tingfu, and Zhao Fengxiang, there were a total of eleven people, and Zhang Ruyi was indeed not included.

Wang Tingfu said: "I am not the one who said it, sir. You and Brother Fengxiang have left the Tai Hospital a long time ago. On the contrary, Brother Ruyi is still working in the state medical department. After all, it is still a subordinate unit of our Tai Hospital. I see, we have to

All the medical students in the state are included, so we all need to work together."

"No, no, no, no, I don't want to be blamed by everyone. We have worked hard all year long, but we are just waiting for this month to improve our lives. I don't dare to call them now." Zhang Ruyi hurriedly declined after hearing this.

It turns out that even the medical officers in their prefectures, states, and counties not only have no rank, but also no salary, let alone those medical students.

It's okay to come to study with the master and make voluntary medical visits during the week. During this temple fair, if they are further delayed from practicing medicine, they will immediately dare to go out and become a free and easy wandering doctor.

"Okay, it's rare that you still regard yourself as a member of the Taiyuan Hospital, so you are the only one." Zhang Jiebin said directly.

Chen Jisheng demanded: "There is still me, count me in."

Li Yingzhi said: "Count me in!"

Sun Chengzong also said: "Count me in!"

Zhang Jiebin responded one by one, fifteen people, each with eighty coins, a total of one thousand two hundred coins.

Early on the next morning, except for Chen Jisheng, Li Yingshi, and Sun Chengzong who followed Zhang Ruyi, the other ten people followed Zhang Jiebin to the film studio yesterday.

When the old farmer saw so many people coming, he was startled for a moment, but after an assessment he said happily: "Okay, okay, okay, there are ten more people today, and the volume of goods can be quadrupled."

In the next two days, Zhang Jiebin and his party were here cutting medicine.

On the third day, he asked ten people to continue to bring all the medicine, and he followed Zhang Ruyi to visit several other shopkeepers to discuss the purchase of medicine.

I successively visited Shopkeeper Du from Huaiqing Pharmacy, Shopkeeper Wang from Xiuning, as well as pharmacists with good reputations in Yuzhou, Jiangyou and other places.

The next day, under the leadership of Hall Leader Cao and Gang Leader Lin, we visited several drug dealers.

Seven more days passed in this way, and news came from the courier shop that an epidemic broke out in the capital. The imperial court ordered the Taiyuan Hospital to provide medicine and medicine in the five cities to treat the people.

He listed the required medicinal materials one by one, and also arrived at the same time with the approval from the Ministry of Household Affairs of the imperial court, giving the Qizhou magistrate the authority to assist the Imperial Hospital in purchasing medicines.

Zhang Jiebin had already negotiated the deal before, and now he went to various pharmacies to pick up the required medicinal materials. He purchased a total of three thousand kilograms of various medicinal materials at a discount of one thousand taels of silver.

Li Yingzhi was immediately asked to take several doctors from Tai Hospital and follow the emergency delivery shop to transport medicine back.

After that, I purchased medicine twice in succession. Not only did the quantity required each time be smaller than the previous time, but the types of medicinal materials required became smaller and smaller.

Good news came frequently. In half a month, nearly 100,000 people in the five cities of the capital were saved, and more than 13,000 kilograms of various medicinal materials were consumed.

After receiving the news, Zhang Jiebin was very excited and said to everyone: "There is no danger, there is no danger, there is no danger. Thanks to everyone's strong support, the people of the capital can live in peace."

Zhang Ruyi was also very excited: "Can we treat 100,000 people in half a month? Who else in the world can do this except Tai Hospital?"

Sun Chengzong couldn't help but sigh: "It's a pity that there is only one Taiyuan Hospital in the Ming Dynasty. Everyone only saw that the Taiyuan Hospital turned the tide this time, but the epidemic is prevalent in more than one place. I don't know how many people in the world are suffering."

When everyone thought about the lack of medical care and medicine for the people in the world, they couldn't help but feel the same, and the atmosphere was a little depressing for a while.

At this time, Hall Master Cao and Gang Leader Lin came together. They were chatting and laughing. When they came in, they found that everyone looked wrong. Hall Master Cao asked: "What's wrong with you? Isn't the epidemic in Gyeonggi Province over? Why are you still frowning?"

Not showing up?”

Leader Lin also smiled and said: "I got some good news and some bad news today, and I wanted to share it with everyone. What's wrong with you?"

"What's the bad news?" Zhang Jiebin asked.

"Well, it's not bad news. The grand ceremony of the temple fair has passed, and Hall Master Cao will return to Beijing tomorrow. I plan to practice it for Hall Master Cao tonight, and I hope everyone can appreciate it."

Gang leader Lin said: "The turnover of this year's temple fair is 30% higher than last year..."

"There was an epidemic in the north this year, and medicinal materials were purchased in large quantities from all over the country. Isn't this a good thing? It's difficult for the country to make money?" Fu Maoguang said.

Fu Maoguang entered Taiyuan Hospital last year. In just one year, he passed the examination and became a doctor ahead of schedule with his superb medical skills.

"Young Master, don't be rude." Wang Tingfu scolded.

Fu Maoguang snorted and turned around to ignore everyone.

Gang leader Lin was not angry, and said with a smile: "Tong Yanwuji, the good thing I want to say is exactly this medicinal material. We have a rough understanding of it, because this batch of medicinal materials is transported to various places in time through drug dealers, which greatly reduces the spread of the disease.

"

After saying this, Gang Leader Lin paused for a moment and then continued: "Good news has come from various places. For example, Linzhang medical officer Feng Chongru, during this plague, took charge of the Huimin Pharmacy and administered medicine. All Linzhang people were alive.

Everyone."

"Today, we specially dispatched medical students from the county to come...well, somewhere to settle the money for medicinal materials. There are countless cases like this in Gyeonggi, Shanxi, and Henan. On the contrary, it is like the situation where tens of thousands died due to the epidemic in Bianliang last year.

Nothing happened.”

After listening to what Gang Leader Lin said, everyone was extremely excited. Zhang Ruyi even laughed and said, "Did you hear that? It's that boy Feng Chongru. I didn't expect him to be very capable. I don't know how he learned how to use empty gloves to defeat the wolf."

Hall Master Cao smiled and said: "It's not because Qizhou knows how to do business, and the large quantities of medicinal materials are settled after the temple fair. But I'm curious, since he has no money deposited and no guarantee, who dares to be so bold as to lend medicinal materials to

Isn’t he afraid of being taken advantage of?”

Everyone was also curious and looked at Gang Leader Lin, but Gang Leader Lin laughed loudly, pointed at Zhang Ruyi and said, "Hey, isn't the enemy right here!"

Zhang Ruyi was stunned and immediately cursed: "You Feng Chongru actually used my name to trick you into coming to my house."

When everyone heard this, they immediately understood what was going on, and they all burst into laughter.
