Li Yanwen was practicing medicine in the countryside as usual, and he had completely forgotten about Fang Zi.
Although I was tempted by the sky-high bounty at the time, I also wanted to try it out to see if it would work. After all, it was a major epidemic affecting hundreds of thousands of people.
"Uncle, your illness is probably an old ailment. Every time it rains, your feet will ache."
"Yes, yes, Doctor Li, you are really amazing."
"It's not a big deal. The humidity is too high and the wind is chilling to the bones. I will prescribe a prescription here. You can take the medicine yourself. Take this orally. In addition, you should often soak in hot water to help blood circulation in the body and eliminate moisture.
."
"Doctor Li, how much does this consultation cost?"
"Just ten cents is enough."
"Okay, okay, there are not many miracle doctors like you, Dr. Li, and the consultation fees are so cheap."
"I have never valued money in my medical practice. I just need enough to support my family."
Li Yanwen smiled and started writing prescriptions. As a doctor who traveled from village to village, his income was actually very meager. He had to walk a lot every day, but his income was not high, which was barely enough to support a family.
"Doctor Li, Dr. Li~"
At this time, an official came hurriedly on horseback.
"What's wrong with this official brother?"
Li Yanwen looked at the official in front of him and asked quickly.
"Doctor Li, now you are famous and rich."
"The prescription you presented last time has played a big role in Jiangnan. Hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangnan were cured quickly with your prescription, and the epidemic was under control."
"All the rewards from the imperial court have come to us. Please prepare quickly and come back with me to receive the rewards."
The official said excitedly: "One hundred thousand taels of silver. Now you no longer have to travel from village to village. You can open a big medical clinic in the city."
"Ah~"
When Li Yan heard this, he was shocked. He didn't expect that the prescription he presented was actually useful, and now he was even rewarded.
One hundred thousand taels of silver, Li Yanwen couldn't calm down when he thought of this. Although he had always been indifferent to fame and fortune and practiced medicine not for money, who doesn't like money, let alone one hundred thousand taels of silver all at once.
With this money, he will have no worries about food and clothing in the future, and more importantly, he can open a medical clinic that he has always wanted to open.
"Hurry up and pack up, pack up and go back with me."
"Now that our Huguang Chief Envoy has come to our Qizhou, you are really famous now. The Ming Dynasty Daily reported the matter in detail and published your recipe."
"The newspaper said that the prescriptions you contributed not only saved hundreds of thousands of people in Jiangsu and Yangzhou, but also benefited our entire Ming Dynasty. In the future, schistosomiasis will be cured, and we will be able to cure schistosomiasis in the south of the Yangtze River Basin in our Ming Dynasty and in Nanyang."
Schistosomiasis is everywhere in the provinces, many overseas colonies, and vassal states."
"I don't know how many people have died from schistosomiasis. Now that I have your prescription, I don't know how many people can be saved."
"I heard that Suzhou and Yangzhou are engraving monuments and writing biographies. Doctor Li, your name and recipe must be written on the top."
"Moreover, even the emperor knew about this and even approved of it with the words 'Holy Hands and Wonderful Doctor'. Now we in Qizhou and even Huguang feel that we have gained face."
The officials were very excited. There was a famous doctor here in Huguang, and people from his hometown also followed Yourong Yan. The chief envoy of Huguang and many officials came to Qizhou to personally distribute rewards and plaques to Li Yanwen.
"Doctor Li is really amazing~"
"Isn't that right? Everyone in our Qizhou area knows that Dr. Li has excellent medical skills and even higher medical ethics."
"I didn't expect that hundreds of thousands of people in Suzhou and Yangzhou were saved by Dr. Li's prescriptions."
"This is a great merit."
"Isn't it true? Even the emperor knew about it and even approved it with his own hands. Both Yangzhou and Suzhou have erected monuments for Dr. Li."
When the surrounding villagers heard this, they all nodded.
Li Yanwen had superb medical skills and low fees. He helped the world by hanging a pot and saved countless people.
I just didn't expect that the prescriptions he contributed could actually cure hundreds of thousands of patients in Yangzhou and Suzhou.
Li Yanwen hurriedly packed his things and hurried back to Qizhou City.
Qizhou City, at this moment, the whole city is beating gongs and drums, the gongs and drums are noisy, and it is very lively.
Qizhou is a famous doctor, and his prescriptions have cured hundreds of thousands of people in Suzhou and Yangzhou. They have solved the big problem of schistosomiasis and made great contributions to the treatment of schistosomiasis in large areas south of the Yangtze River.
The emperor approved the inscription, the imperial court rewarded him with a hundred thousand taels of silver, and the envoy from Huguang personally came to Qizhou, which made Qizhou suddenly excited.
For a small place, such a thing is definitely a big deal, something that everyone should be happy about.
"In accordance with the emperor's will and the imperial order, I came to Qizhou to present a pair of clothes with a plaque of 'Holy Hands and Wonderful Doctor' to the miracle doctor Li Yanwen. The words on it were inscribed by the emperor himself and ordered by craftsmen to imitate them."
"In addition, the imperial court will reward you with a reward of one hundred thousand taels of silver!"
The Chief Envoy of Huguang presented Li Yanwen with a plaque in front of everyone. The words on it were personally inscribed by Emperor Hongzhi. At the same time, he opened a large box filled with silver coins, revealing a box full of shining silver.
of silver dollars.
This made everyone present couldn't help but open their eyes wide.
One hundred thousand taels of silver!
Most of the people around me have never seen so much money at once in their entire lives.
What a huge fortune this is.
Li Yanwen took the plaque with a smile on his face, and then ordered someone to carry the box containing the silver into his home. He felt dizzy, as if he had been knocked unconscious by a huge pie falling from the sky.
Now I have the money to open a medical clinic, and there is still a lot of surplus. I don't have to worry about money in this life.
Looking around again, many people originally looked down upon Dr. Ling like Li Yanwen, who traveled from village to house. Dr. Ling had little status and was very poor.
But now, everyone's view of Li Yanwen has changed. Who would have thought that a small prescription could be exchanged for one hundred thousand taels of silver. Even the emperor was alarmed and even approved of it.
...
In the imperial study room of the capital, Emperor Hongzhi was carefully reading the memorial submitted by Liu Jin.
The memorial describes in detail the situation of schistosomiasis in Suzhou and Yangzhou, the epidemic prevention work, and subsequent related matters.
The epidemic has been brought under control, patients have received effective treatment, order has been restored in Jiangsu and Yangzhou, production and life have returned to normal, and the surrounding areas have not suffered any major fluctuations. The epidemic has passed.
But Liu Jin also explained in detail some things other than the epidemic in his memorial.
For example, we advocate the promotion of healthy and hygienic living and eating habits, requiring cities and rural areas throughout the Ming Dynasty to manage excrement and build septic tanks. Human and animal excrement cannot be discharged at will to avoid contaminating water sources and spreading diseases.
This matter seems to be just a personal matter, but when it rises to the national level, it is related to the health and safety of millions of households.
In the past, the imperial court would not care about these matters at all, but after this epidemic, it must be deeply aware of the importance of promoting this matter throughout the Ming Dynasty.
Once an epidemic occurs, the losses will be greater and more serious.
Promotion is also for the health and hygiene of the people, and for the long-term peace and stability of the Ming Dynasty.
Then Liu Jin proposed to clean up schistosomiasis in the Yangtze River Basin of the Ming Dynasty and the southern provinces to the south. He asked local governments to organize people to clean up the snails and destroy them intensively. At the same time, he promoted the prescriptions for treating schistosomiasis so that more people could get rid of schistosomiasis.
People know.
This is called a combination of prevention and treatment, a diversionary action against the extremely harmful and highly contagious schistosomiasis, to prevent the recurrence of the situation in Suzhou and Yangzhou.
Finally, Liu Jin emphasized the importance and necessity of establishing a complete epidemic prevention mechanism.
It is believed that the Ming Dynasty now has more frequent and closer exchanges with other parts of the world. At the same time, cities are developing rapidly and the population is concentrated in cities.
Various epidemics will inevitably appear and pose a huge threat to the Ming Dynasty.
At the same time, it also pointed out that the Ming government currently lacks mechanisms to respond to the epidemic and relevant laws and regulations, the division of powers and responsibilities is not light, the division of funds is unclear, etc.
Liu Jinshun also submitted a complete set of plan mechanisms to establish a complete response mechanism to ensure the safety of Ming Dynasty.
Emperor Hongzhi looked very carefully and very slowly.
Although Liu Jin's memorial was not as elegant as that of other ministers, and even mentioned many indecent words, such as excrement and the like, other ministers would never write these things on it, but Liu Jin did.
It's very straightforward.
But after Emperor Hongzhi read it in detail, he couldn't help but nod his head.
Liu Jin always made him feel at ease when doing things, and he liked it very much. Liu Jin quickly brought the epidemic under control in Suzhou and Yangzhou, and he also quickly found a cure.
But Liu Jin not only saw this incident, but also saw the long-term future and proposed building a perfect mechanism. This made Emperor Hongzhi look at Liu Jin with admiration again.
"The national scholar is unparalleled, the national scholar is unparalleled!"
"With Liu Jin here, my Ming Dynasty will be worry-free!"
