Chapter 0616 This tiger...I have beaten it before!
"Your Highness, why are you here?"
When Li Yuanji and Ma Sanbao were talking, Lao Yutou came up to him and asked awkwardly as he cupped his hands.
He got a little carried away by everyone's praise, and even blamed Li Yuanji, so he was embarrassed.
Li Yuanji smiled and nodded: "It seems that you did a lot of things during the invasion of Xuanjia Army. Why didn't you see She Zheng reported to you?"
Old Yutou forced a smile and said dryly: "Old servant's achievements are not worth mentioning. They are not worth mentioning."
Li Yuanji smiled and said: "Then you have to report it, otherwise I wouldn't even know you have such achievements."
Old Yutou responded with a dry smile and did not dare to say more.
Li Yuanji did not hold on to this matter. After all, bragging is the nature of some people and cannot be changed for a while. In addition, bragging is not illegal, it will not really hurt anyone, and there is nothing wrong with it.
Calculative.
"It seems I came at the wrong time."
Li Yuanji sighed at Ma Sanbao, and then asked Old Yutou to take him and Ma Sanbao to find a place to sit down and talk in Xinglu, Chang'an.
Old Yutou led the way, accompanied by Ma Sanbao. Under the gaze of a group of old men holding bowls who either raised their heads or shrank their necks, Li Yuanji entered Chang'an Xinglu.
Compared with when it was first built, Chang'an Xinglu seems to have been expanded, so it covers a large area and has many people inside.
There were all kinds of patients, as well as medicine boys of different sizes, and some Xinglin masters on their way in a hurry.
Compared with the leisure of the imperial doctors in the Imperial Medical Office and the idleness and busyness of the doctors in various medicine shops, the Xinglin masters traveling in Chang'an seemed very busy.
Everyone was walking in a hurry, as if something was chasing them behind them.
"Are they so busy every day?"
After Li Yuanji saw an elderly Xinglin expert get up and continue on his way after falling, he couldn't help but stop the old fish head and ask.
Old Yutou nodded, then shook his head and said: "Busy is busy, but not too busy."
Li Yuanji looked at Old Yutou suspiciously.
Old Yutou explained: "When there was turmoil in Chang'an before, it was called busy. The gentlemen were so busy that they could not sleep for days and nights. Some gentlemen fell asleep while diagnosing the patient's pulse.
Some gentlemen fell to the ground and fainted while walking.
Although I am busy now, I am far less busy than that time.”
Li Yuanji frowned slightly and said, "Didn't they open a new Chang'an Xinglu? Didn't they help share some of the pressure?"
Old Yutou smiled bitterly and said: "They are busy over there, too busy to touch the ground. Fortunately, there is help over there to share the burden, otherwise the gentleman here will be exhausted."
Li Yuanji nodded thoughtfully and said: "It seems that the establishment of Xinglu is now on the agenda."
The old fish head opened his mouth, but said nothing.
In his opinion, it is a good thing to build Xinglu extensively, but it still cannot solve the problem of busy people here.
Because the gentlemen here are all experts in the apricot forest, and they are involved in various subjects. Not only are they comprehensive in variety, but their medical skills are also very superb.
Anyone who has diagnosed or treated diseases here highly respects it, so no matter how many Xinglu houses are opened, they cannot stop patients from flocking here.
It's just that he is not qualified to say anything about this kind of thing, nor is he qualified to make suggestions.
He is just a servant attached to Prince Qi's Mansion and is not qualified to give advice to the master of Prince Qi's Mansion.
"In a while, you go and tell She Zheng that I will release some of the palace ladies out of the palace in a few days. Then he can pick one or two and find some smart people here to help."
After Li Yuanji decided to speed up the pace of building Xinglu, he spoke again.
The maids, especially the older ones, have been serving people for many years, and few people can match them when it comes to serving people.
So having them come here to serve as medical staff can also relieve the pressure on the Xinglin masters.
If they do well and are recognized by the masters of Xinglin, then the elderly maids and eunuchs in the palace can be released and allowed to work as doctors and nurses in Xinglin.
This will not only relieve the pressure on the apricot forest masters in the apricot hut, but also solve the tragedy of the palace people being released from the palace after they get old, have nowhere to make a living, and are not welcome, and eventually starve to death or be bullied to death.
.
In some novels, after the palace people were released from the palace, they were rushed by the powerful to take them into the palace and use them.
But the reality is that after the palace people were released from the palace, they had no relatives, and no one dared to ask for them, because no one could guarantee that the palace people knew the secrets of the palace, or had done anything that would cause many people to lose their heads.
It's a secret, so no one dares to risk the life of a family, or even a whole clan, by using palace servants.
This also left the palace people with nowhere to make a living after they were released from the palace.
Those who have relatives may be taken home, expelled after their money is drained, and eventually starve to death.
Those who have no relatives will be targeted by bullies, squires, and even local lords after revealing their wealth. After their money is robbed, they will be killed and silenced, or they will be left to a place where no one knows them and left to fend for themselves.
Very few palace dwellers survived to a good death after being released from the palace.
Unless you can find a good official match.
Local yamen do not dare to trick those in power, so they will inevitably choose some poorer but still kind-hearted people for official matching.
In that case, most of them will end well.
Some people may think this is an exaggeration, but as long as you understand this kind of thing, you will know that it is not an exaggeration at all.
After the palace people were released, they were no different from the homeless.
Even if there are relatives alive, the separation of more than ten years has made the relationship between them extremely weak.
Whether you can be re-accepted by your relatives and whether you can be treated normally by your relatives all depends on your conscience.
But conscience is the most unreliable thing.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty wants Gong'e to enter Xinglu?"
Old Yutou didn't know that Li Yuanji had a deep meaning in this arrangement. After hearing Li Yuanji's words, he asked in shock.
Li Yuanji glanced at the old fish head and said, "Is there any problem?"
The old fish head hesitated again and again, gritted his teeth and said: "Women are not suitable to come here, let alone serve people here."
It's not that Old Yutou has a deep prejudice against women and thinks that women cannot handle medical matters. It's just that treating diseases in this era not only involves diagnosing the pulse and taking medicine, but also applying medicine and acupuncture.
Clothing must be removed when applying medicine and acupuncture.
Some diseases even need to be completely removed.
If a woman sees it, how can she get married in the future?
Who dares to ask for it?
Although the dogma at this time was not so strict, and there were no various opinions about following various virtues, there were still taboos in this area, and it could easily lead to various criticisms.
That's why Old Yutou said that women are not suitable to come to this place.
Firstly, he was thinking about the woman's innocence, and secondly, he was thinking about the reputation of Chang'an Xinglu.
Of course, the latter is definitely heavier.
"We are all human beings, what's wrong with that? Besides, when it comes to diagnosing a disease, do we have to take into account the defense of men and women? Is life more important, or the defense of men and women?"
Li Yuanji stared at the old fish head and asked.
Old Yutou said without hesitation: "Life must be important, but, but..."
Before Old Yutou finished speaking, Li Yuanji raised his hand to interrupt him, "Since life is important, let's take care of life first. We can't even risk our lives for the sake of the defense of men and women.
Besides, apart from the palace ladies, I won’t be able to find a large number of manpower for a while to help the gentlemen here share the pressure.”
If you don't ask Gong'e for medical care, how can you ask soldiers in the army to provide medical care?
They can kill people, but they can serve people... They can serve people to death!
"But, but..."
The old fish head was a little anxious and hurried to speak.
Li Yuanji interrupted Lao Yutou again and said: "There's nothing good to say. I know what you're worried about, but we can't just watch the gentleman here die of exhaustion just because of these side issues.
You also know that every gentleman here is a master of Xinglin. Only when they are alive can they save more people. If they are dead, they can't save anyone.
We can't help them diagnose diseases together, so we can only find ways to reduce their pressure and let them save more people.
As for other things, they are not important at all in front of these."
"But this will ruin the reputation here. Many gentlemen here care about their reputation!"
Old Yutou was anxious for a long time and finally shouted out what was in his heart.
Li Yuanji was stunned for a moment, nodded and sighed: "That's right, although many gentlemen here don't care about money or official titles, they do care about their reputation.
It's probably the only thing they care about, so I can't ruin it."
After Li Yuanji sighed with emotion, he thought for a moment and said: "In this case, I will ask the important officials in the court and the famous scholars to prepare the accounts for this matter first to see what the public's reaction is.
If the public reacts violently, I will think of another way.
If the response from the public is not intense, then this will be done."
When Lao Yutou heard the first half of Li Yuanji's words, he breathed a sigh of relief. When he heard the second half of Li Yuanji's words, he became nervous again.
Li Yuanji ignored him and asked Ma Sanbao to take him to his residence.
Ma Sanbao greeted him and walked around in Xinglu until he finally arrived in front of a small courtyard.
A large white-fronted insect with an eye-catching look was lying in the yard, yawning, its sharp teeth could be seen from a long distance away. What the old fish head saw was that its legs were trembling, and it was reluctant to move forward.
Ma Sanbao walked into the yard with a relaxed expression, as if he couldn't see the big insect.
The same is true for Li Yuanji.
"Your Majesty... Your Majesty!"
Old Yutou stood at the door of the yard and shouted anxiously. He didn't want to enter the yard, but Li Yuanji had already entered, and he couldn't stop. So he could only ask Li Yuanji for help with a grimace.
Li Yuanji smiled at Old Yutou and said, "Don't worry, come in, this tiger won't hurt anyone."
The reason why Li Yuanji dared to make such a guarantee was purely because he had beaten this tiger before, and he had beaten it badly.
When the tiger smelled his scent, it raised its head. When he entered the yard, the tiger was ready to run away, so how could it hurt anyone?
