In the early morning, with the sound of drums, people on the street have begun to wake up with the morning light in the eastern sky. Under the gray-black sky that still dominates most of the sky, people spontaneously run towards the light.
The monks of the Five Directions God Taoist Temple recited loudly and resounded in the market. They carried poles and drank while the morning market vendors were singing. Chang'an City, the most prosperous city in the Han Dynasty, is
It had been silent for a short time in the last dark night. Like a child full of energy, after a short night's rest, he entered the new noisy day with full energy.
"Haggis soup! Fragrant haggis soup!"
"Hu pancake! Hu pancake stuffed with meat!"
"Hot soup cakes! Pour oil on the hot soup cakes!"
The dissolute children who come home late and work hard people who get up early are contradictory yet united in the morning stalls in these neighborhoods.
The hungover swinger was holding the hot soup with narrowed eyes, making people worry about whether it would be poured on him next moment, while the strong and sturdy Japanese worker was hanging the hot soup on his shoulder.
Holding on to the ropes and wooden poles, while grabbing a thick black pancake, chewing and swallowing desperately with his cheeks bulging, his feet were still rushing forward, fearing that if he arrived a moment late, the good work would be snatched away by others.
In the shop on the side of the street, the young man was yawning as he was dismantling the door panels, speeding up his actions under the urging voice coming from the hall, which was slightly dark compared to the outside world.
The laborers who were repairing and decorating the gate archway in the distance were also led by the team leader and started preparing with tools. The repairs on the gate archway were already more than half done, and basically they could be completed before the celebration of the Hussars General.
Of course, it was not just these people who got up early, but also the petty officials, who appeared in the morning light from the streets and alleys. They were all wearing dark clothes, crowns, and blue cyan ribbons. Occasionally, one or two could be seen.
He was a man with a yellow ribbon, but he was basically in a hurry, rushing to the official residence.
These are the middle and lower-level officials of the Cavalry General's Office and various departments. After all, no one waits for you. These days, if you are late, you are late. If you miss the time, you will not only have your salary deducted, but you may also be punished.
, you may even lose your head in the military!
At this time, Huan Dian, accompanied by two guards, went to the Hundred Medical Center.
Huan Dian is not wearing a ribbon at the moment, but he has worn a green ribbon before, so when he saw these lower-level green ribbons and yellow ribbons, he was naturally a little disdainful. He is not a hussar.
Officials, of course, don't have to go to the restaurant. The reason why they got up so early is because they didn't sleep well last night...
It's not just a day and night of tossing around, but it's been tortured by illness for a long time.
The first few times he went to the Hundred Medical Clinic, he either went late and there were already a lot of people queuing up, or he went there and was disturbed. Another time, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing were not there after he went.
He was just an unknown middle-aged doctor. When it was Huan Dian's turn, Huan Dian couldn't believe him.
Huan Dian believed that his life was precious, so how could he allow ordinary doctors to practice his skills?
On this day, I inquired early that it was Hua Tuo's turn to sit in the hall today, but I couldn't sleep no matter what. If it weren't for the fact that it was impossible to open the door at night, there would be people queuing up in the middle of the night.
Huan Dian passed Wulang Bridge, left Zhuque Street, and turned into Erhua Street. This street obviously did not have as many people as Zhuque Street, and there were fewer vehicles around it, so they would not be blocked by the vehicles in front of them.
If he had to stop, he could go directly to the Hundred Medical Center. As for the obviously vacant area in the middle of Suzaku Street, he was not qualified to walk, and he felt aggrieved after seeing it, so he might as well change another way.
Huan Dian's old habit has recurred in the past two days, and it's even more serious.
This made him very painful.
I don't know when he started suffering from this kind of illness. Maybe it was during Dong Zhuo's chaos, or when he was moving the capital? He couldn't remember exactly, but he knew that the pain was getting more and more painful.
Moreover, the troublesome Cao An came to talk to him at dusk yesterday, and he was so verbose that he didn't leave until just before the gate of the square was closed. This made him feel that his body was even more difficult to support, and he didn't even get a good rest at night.
Cao An came here mainly because of his damn warship technology.
Cao An actually thought about intercepting and killing him!
Then not only did Huan Dian's guards need to be called in, but Huan Dian also needed to prepare a few fast horses...
After hearing Cao An's request, Huan Dian was at a loss. It wasn't that he didn't want to help Cao An because he disliked Cao An. Well, to be honest, he did have such a little dislike, but more importantly, Huan Dian could have one or two horses at the moment.
Horse, but no matter how many there are, we can’t make it together.
This is basically the same as in later generations. If there are one or two cars in a family, others will not pay too much attention to it. But if there are four or five more cars all of a sudden, and they are military vehicles, it is extremely difficult not to attract the attention of others!
Even if Huan Dian risked being discovered by others to purchase war horses, what good ideas could he come up with when he was unfamiliar with the place Chang'an was born in?
But Cao An smiled and said that as long as Huan Dian was willing to pay some money, he would figure out other things. Because when Cao An came to Chang'an, it was impossible to bring a lot of money with him. After all, the price of a war horse was not a fraction.
Ordinary horses cannot be chased, although horses are cheap.
Just like it is true that Wuling can be driven to Qiu Ming Mountain, but the attributes of the joke are greater than the actual application.
The horse's body is similar to the human body to a certain extent. Not everyone is suitable for long-distance running. If a person who doesn't exercise often suddenly runs 20 kilometers, he may suffer from kidney failure, but a horse like this
If an animal is allowed to suddenly run twenty kilometers, most of the time the horse's blood will boil and it will be scrapped.
So now Huan Dian suddenly felt the suffering of the poor disciples of Jing Piao.
No money!
Suddenly, Huan Dian was caught in a dilemma.
Or give the money to Cao An, or refuse Cao An?
What should I do if I give money to Cao An to treat his own illness? Huan Dian inquired about it. Ordinary people only need to pay the herbal medicine fee when they go to the Hundred Medical Clinic, but when the nobles go for treatment, in addition to paying the herbal medicine fee, they also have to pay the medical fee.
Therefore, Huan Dian had to see a doctor first, then determine how much money he would need, and then transfer the excess money to Cao An for use, so that neither was delayed...
Huan Dian didn't understand why the heating and cooling fees could be charged together?
However, there is also a saying in the Hundred Medical Centers called "balance of yin and yang".
This was the rule when the Hundred Medical Center was established. The nobles charged more and the common people enjoyed lower fees.
Of course, the Hundred Medical Center also stated that if the children of the gentry are willing to accept simple treatment from ordinary doctors instead of more professional individual conditioning and diagnosis and treatment, they may even drink simple food cooked in an ordinary cauldron like ordinary people.
For herbal soup, you can also just pay the cost of the herbal medicine.
Are you kidding?!
How could a noble nobleman be reduced to sharing the same fate with ordinary people?
But Huan Dian didn't know that in Chang'an City, there were many children from poor families and poor scholars who came from Jizhou and Yuzhou. They had been forced to give up their original identities and began to seek more opportunities.
These people came to Chang'an with a dream in mind. Just like the Jingdiao in later generations, they immediately felt the strong malice of the big city. Food, clothing, accommodation and travel, which one is free?
Dreams, how much are dreams worth?
Apart from their own words of encouragement and the expectations of their families, no one among these people will tell them where the money for food will come from and where the money for next month's rent will come from.
As a last resort, many people put down their original arrogance and began to lower their heads to do things. Some people insisted on their dignity and were unwilling to engage in some things that they previously despised. However, there was no progress and the feeling of sitting on nothing.
Everyone will feel panic in their hearts, so they naturally form small groups among themselves, such as the hometown association of a certain county, the clan association of a certain clan, etc., to keep each other warm.
But people like Huan Dian are not very good at understanding this.
The class gap in the Han Dynasty was very obvious. This gap is often reflected in the amount of materials. For example, in later generations, some people squandered and wasted food, while some were so poor that they could only eat mud cakes for food, and some despised the lack of vegetables and fruits.
The nobles were not so fresh, and some were delighted when they happened to pick up a vegetable that had been left behind in the streets.
In Chang'an, these children from Yongpiao's poor family broke away from the relatively stable family environment and began to experience the wind and rain. Some fell down and some grew up in the wind and rain.
Under the embarrassing living conditions, these children from poor families will naturally complain. Some of them are simply to vent their emotions and uneasiness, and the other part is to start thinking. Like Mi Heng, they have initially come into contact with the "class gap"
The edge of this definition. In the process of studying the classics, scholars will be innately infected by the spirit of the ancient sages who sympathized with the people. Some people will only stop at verbal expressions, while some people, like Ni Heng, will express their feelings for the people.
The people spoke out, and some people continued to think about why such a problem occurred.
They began to doubt the rationality of their family's monopoly of resources, began to compare the gap between Fei Qian and their own family leader, began to consider their own future, and began to wonder whether their previous perceptions were still correct...
These children from poor families, after coming out, are still under the control of the clan for a certain period of time. They are mostly related to their original clans. At first, they can get some financial support from the clan, but on the one hand, Chang'an's expenses are very high.
, on the other hand, the clan will not give these people unlimited support and full trust. Therefore, with the passage of time and space, the relationship between these poor children and the clan begins to weaken or even disappear. It is like a long-distance relationship.
Many couples are full of confidence in the beginning, but no matter how strong the relationship is under the cruel grinding of daily real life, it will gradually fade and eventually break. Only a few can persist.
Then the clans began to accuse these people of being traitors, bastards, betraying their ancestors, and sinners through the ages. However, these clans rarely considered what kind of difficulties these poor children in Chang'an had and what they were facing.
What kind of new environment will there be more accusations and abuse?
Contradictions began to arise between them, and the antagonism formed due to the contradictions began to intensify after the Zhouquan case occurred.
Just like Lu Yu suspected that Zhou Quan might have been sent by Cao Cao, some of the children from poor families also suspected this. After all, some children from poor families had received threatening messages from people sent by their families before...
…
"Just die outside!"
"We in the So-and-so clan don't have such an unfilial son!"
"Never come back!"
"For a disrespectful fool like you, you might as well die!"
"Wait! Let's see how we deal with you in the future!"
Although the words of abuse and accusation were different, basically speaking, they were similar. In the absence of material lack and lack of spiritual encouragement, these children from poor families gradually became cold-hearted.
The clans in Jizhou and Yuzhou felt that these children from poor families had betrayed them, and these children from poor families also felt that they had been betrayed by their families!
The poorer the people, the more pressure they bear, and once this pressure is ignited by something...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Huan Dian didn't think about this, because most of his energy was enduring the pain on his body. Huan Dian half-closed his eyes and let his two followers
The guard pulled the vehicle forward. It swayed, and in a daze, it suddenly stopped. Huan Dian's body fell forward. If he hadn't grabbed the guardrail in time, he might have fallen out of the front of the vehicle!
"Get out of the way, please give way!"
Several people rushed out from the pier, carrying a simple stretcher, and ran out panting, almost hitting Huan Dian's vehicle!
There was a person lying on the stretcher, his face was pale, and there was a faint smell of blood coming from his body.
"You bastard!" Huan Dian's guard yelled, "How dare you rush in without seeing my noble family here?!"
Those people kept walking, as if they didn't want to talk to Huan Dian and others at all. Only the last person who was running behind stopped and bowed to Huan Dian perfunctorily, "Sorry, saving people is like putting out fires."
, how offensive it is, I hope Haihan!」
"Shu Zi is so rude!"
Guard Huan Dian wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Huan Dian, "Forget it, let them go." It wasn't that Huan Dian had a good temper, but that Huan Dian was indeed in pain and just wanted to see Hua Tuo as soon as possible.
Then relieve your pain.
Guard Huandian could only lower his head and say yes, stared at those guys fiercely, then adjusted the vehicle and moved forward again.
Not long after, we arrived at the Baiyi Clinic.
"What? Doctor Hua isn't here?"
Huan Dian's guard's eyes widened. Yesterday, he came here specifically to confirm that today was Hua Tuo's shift, but he didn't expect that Hua Tuo didn't come when he arrived at the Hundred Medical Center!
"Where did Dr. Hua go?" Huan Dian was a little confused after hearing this.
The nurse at Baiyi Clinic waved her hand, "I don't know."
Huan Dian felt like the world was spinning. He held on to the railings of the vehicle and felt short of breath and tight in the chest. The pain on his body also made him more and more painful...
"Your Majesty!" Guard Huandian rushed to the side of the vehicle eagerly, "Your Majesty! Your Majesty!"
In fact, Hua Tuo often went out of the city to go to villages for diagnosis and treatment, and it was the same this time. Hua Tuo temporarily received news of a cluster of epidemics in Meiyang County, Youfufeng, so he immediately rushed to Meiyang with several doctors.
, as for sitting in the Baiyi Medical Center, it has naturally been cancelled.
But the problem is that the nurse doesn't know the situation, so she can only say "not here", "don't know", etc. How can such words satisfy Huan Dian?
Huan Dian's medical treatment plan was disrupted again and again. Even the clay figurine was very angry. What's more, he had to give Cao An an answer. If he didn't know how much it would cost to see a doctor, how could he move around?
Give money to Cao An?
At this moment, Huan Dian was suffering from illness, which began to affect his thinking ability. Cao An asked Huan Dian to borrow money. In fact, he didn't really want Huan Dian's medical treatment money. After all, if he misappropriated Huan Dian's money, he
Huan Dian was unable to cure his illness and died. Even if Cao An was able to intercept the warship technology, he would still have to bear a certain amount of responsibility.
Cao An's original intention was to ask Huan Dian to come forward to borrow some money.
After all, there are many gentry families in Chang'an. Looking for some money or something, or even borrowing a few horses, Huan Dian can still do it as long as he saves his face and asks for help. However, on the one hand, most people don't like to owe favors, on the other hand
Huan Dian's illness had been tormenting him, so he didn't think much about it, nor did he go to the nobles in Guanzhong to borrow money.
Maybe it was to make up for his "mistake", or maybe he saw Huan Dian's pain. As the saying goes, worrying about the death penalty of a minister, Huan Dian's guard was also anxious, grabbed the nurse of Baiyi Hospital beside him, and said, "Go to Dr. Hua."
Come! Come to Dr. Hua quickly!』
The nurse at Baiyi Clinic shook her arm, "What are you doing? Let go!"
"My master is in trouble! Call Dr. Hua quickly!"
"I told you, Doctor Hua is not here! Let go!"
"Then it's Dr. Zhang Zhongjing!" Huan Dian's guards refused to let him go.
"Hey! Let go! If you don't let go, I'll call someone!"
Disputes and chaos arose for a while, just like the powerful people from a certain place in later generations clamored for a luxurious private room when they arrived at the handsome mansion in Kyoto, and asked the chief physician to come and see the doctor in person. For the local powerful people, this request seemed to be natural.
Yes, because they could even enjoy more convenient door-to-door services in their local area, but now they have lowered their requirements and taken a step back. Why can't they agree to satisfy them?
But to the nursing staff in Shuai Mansion, who do you think you are?
When people drive others away, words drive others away, and when bulls are pushed against each other, their brains often become short-circuited.
Huan Dian was confused, holding on to the railing of the vehicle, speechless for a moment, and did not stop his men immediately. Seeing Huan Dian's pain, Huan Dian's guards became even more anxious, and shouted at their own Huan family.
name, while threatening the nursing staff that if they don't let the doctor come out to see the patient, they will let him know how powerful he is.
One of Huandian's guards pulled the nurse, while the other rushed directly to where the doctor was sitting...
Such reckless behavior naturally aroused the dissatisfaction of many people who were already queuing up to see a doctor. After all, many children of the Guanzhong gentry were also waiting in line. When they saw Huan Dian and others behaving like this, they immediately shouted loudly.
Today, the person sitting in court for Hua Tuo is Taicang Ying.
At this time, Taicang Ying is treating the poor children who were injured in the comprehensive case...
This unlucky boy from a poor family was only slightly injured at first. He was bandaged and went home. However, I don’t know whether it was because he was already weak or because he accidentally touched the wound after returning home. It became inflamed and had a fever.
He spent the whole night, sometimes awake and sometimes unconscious. Several fellow villagers who lived with him hurriedly carried him to Baiyi Medical Center early in the morning.
Therefore, when Huan Dian's guards wanted to rush into the hall, and before the guards outside the Hundred Medicine Hall arrived, these young men from poor families stood up and clashed with Huan Dian's guards in dissatisfaction.
Guard Huandian felt that he was sharing the master's worries and asked the doctor to put down those damn untouchables and serve the noble master. Is there anything wrong in this?
A child from a poor family felt that his brother was probably killed by someone sent from Shandong. Now why the Shandong nobles want to get out of their way and threaten the doctor? Is this justified?
They glared at each other and chatted, and in the end, of course -
