Although Zhang Shou has been advocating the limited use of corporal punishment since his previous life - for example, for certain violent crimes, he very much agrees with the use of corporal punishment to really make people remember, just like beating a naughty child if he disobeys.
Same. However, he believes that the upper limit of corporal punishment for general crimes is not as terrible as it is now. It needs to be set to one hundred.
Therefore, he did not think that the emperor or himself had anything worthy of praise.
It was the fault of a poor father. The emperor raised a bear son, and the people had to resist angrily, and even received a severe beating for it. When it came to benevolence, he could only say that it was barely passable, but he believed that the emperor would rather
The eldest prince is a good son, and he is unwilling to bear the reputation of such a benevolent king.
As for him, he knew that the promotion of machines would cause a large number of workers to lose their jobs, but he still released this monster. Now he has finally achieved the goal of saving the victim and the prisoner from death. This so-called just praise, no matter what he thinks,
I find it funny!
Therefore, before the jailer could rack his brains and continue to flatter him, he interrupted directly: "Okay, don't be verbose. Since you know the emperor's benevolence, then you should be more careful. I don't want to hear about serious injuries or high fever in the future.
There are no excuses for not quitting, etc. Pay attention to ventilation, keep clean, and prevent heatstroke and cool down. From diet to medicine, take regular measures and do as you are told.”
Although everyone has their own grievances, they are all adults, and they all know that what they once did was to lose their heads, and now they have escaped with their lives. Even though the beating was really severe, they were reminded by the head jailer.
, Zhang Shou ordered such a call again, no matter who it was, the hurdle in his heart was temporarily passed.
Realizing that they were lucky to be treated like this, their screams of pain and groans when applying the medicine gradually became softer.
Xian Yunhe propped up his elbows and tried to raise his head to look up, but before he could find Zhang Shou, he caught a glimpse of the familiar figure of Little Peanut. When the boy looked at him, he opened his mouth as if he was about to scream.
He made a sound, but then he forced himself to hold it back, his teeth almost biting his lips to bleed. He couldn't help but nodded slightly to the person apologetically, and then turned around with all his strength.
This time, he finally saw Zhang Shou, and he tried to ask in the calmest voice: "Dr. Zhang, the emperor is indeed kind, but we will also remember your grace to survive. I just want to ask one thing
How many days do we need to get ready and hit the road?"
This question just hit everyone's heart. This beating was enough. They were thick-skinned and thick-skinned. It was not that they couldn't survive it, but they had to get up and hit the road within a few days. That was an extremely difficult situation.
A fatal question.
For example, if we ask these guys who have just received a hundred canes to set off quickly within three to five days, and then trek thousands of miles to Hainan... That would cost them their lives! Let alone three or five days, let alone ten days
Eight days is probably not enough!
Zhang Shou lowered his head and glanced at Xian Yunhe, who was sweating profusely but still using his elbows to stand up as tall as possible and looked up at him. Then he said lightly: "According to the old rules of starting after receiving the cane, you need to leave the next day at the earliest, and leave at the latest
, and also need to be released within ten days and rush to the place of exile within the prescribed time limit, otherwise it will be a serious crime."
Seeing that the news he revealed was like a bombshell and was about to shock the group of people into an uproar, he added with a smile: "But this time is different from the past. After all, Qiongzhou Prefecture is too far away. You have to travel across mountains and rivers to rely on two people."
It's too tedious to walk over on one leg, and the escort will accompany you thousands of miles. I have already reported to the emperor that you can take a boat from Tianjin and take the sea route."
"Of course, the emperor has already approved it."
Take a boat... take the sea route! Everyone who had almost exploded immediately fell silent, especially Xian Yunhe, who had experience at sea. He knew how dangerous it was on the sea, and had personally experienced strong winds that almost made people desperate to die.
Huge waves, but compared to traveling thousands of miles by land, he certainly knew what traveling by sea meant to a group of people like them who had just received a severe beating.
Although they may get seasick... but at least they don't have to endure the pain of traveling for more than six hours a day and suffering from festering wounds!
Xian Yunhe breathed a sigh of relief and collapsed on the ground for a moment. Also relieved were the other people lying on the ground. No one wanted to have to struggle to walk on the road after enduring such a painful punishment.
The road to death. Of course, the sea is also very dangerous, but for Cangzhou people who are no strangers to the sea, it is better to go on the sea ship than to get out on two legs!
After the initial relaxation, Xian Yunhe struggled to get up again. This time, he managed to control his scarred hips and legs, and knelt on the ground with all his strength. Then he kowtowed with his hands on the ground and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kindness, and thank you, Dr. Zhang."
Suggestions!”
Some of the others managed to get up, but there were also others who really couldn't get up and could only nod their heads to express their gratitude. Faced with these genuine gratitude, Zhang Shou could only support him and said: "It's good to express gratitude to the emperor for his kindness. As for the
I have unfulfilled responsibilities and cannot deserve your thanks. But even if I take a boat, I will not let you set off within ten days. After all, the wind is not in the right direction."
From the north to the south, of course you have to wait for the north wind to blow before sailing. Otherwise, even if you are walking along the coastline, who will be responsible if you encounter a typhoon?
Xian Yunhe followed Lao Xianyu out to the sea, and naturally understood the wind direction every year. Hearing Zhang Shou say this, he felt even more grateful. However, when he was about to say a few more words of thanks, he saw Zhang Shou was silent again.
He coughed lightly and suddenly said: "I have a few more important words to say. All the wardens have temporarily withdrawn. Little Peanut, you go and guard outside."
Although several jailers were recommended by Zhu Tingfang to Cao Wu and were steady and tight-lipped, Zhang Shou still gave the order. Seeing that everyone immediately followed the instructions without any objection, Little Peanut hesitated for a moment, then lowered his head and followed the last one out.
, walked a few steps and suddenly looked back at Xian Yunhe. Of course Zhang Shou knew what he was worried about, but he didn't say anything.
It wasn't until the little guy finally disappeared outside the door that led to the outer cell where lighter prisoners were held that he walked into the cell in Xianyunhe. He didn't mind the dirty place at all, and he wasn't worried that he would be hijacked by the prisoners.
"Although Qiongzhou Prefecture is known as the end of the world, it is a fertile land where rice is harvested three times a year. However, the climate is hot. If there are strong winds in summer, the coastal areas will sometimes be hit by strong winds and huge waves. But Cangzhou will also sometimes be hit by strong winds in summer.
In such a situation, you just have to have an idea in mind. You were not allowed to live by the sea in the first place. As for the trees that you need to plant there, there are two types."
"The first is the Cinchona tree. It was discovered by a sea ship on a continent east of Haidong. The locals regard it as a sacred tree. The bark is scraped off and ground into powder. It is said that it can treat falciparum malaria. And I came to visit
The south is said to be plagued by miasma, but it is actually related to malaria, so if the plant is successfully planted, it will give an explanation to the bosses in the court, which can be regarded as a waste of merit."
Although he escaped from death and saved his life, it is impossible to say that there is no fear and worry in the hearts of everyone when going to the distant Qiongzhou Prefecture. Even the Xianyun River that crosses the sea and the ocean is no exception. Therefore,
, Zhang Shou's heartfelt instructions successfully calmed their extremely uneasy mood. The two words "sacred tree" are still very frightening to the common people.
"Of course, to plant trees, just you people are not enough. It is inevitable that some people will be called in at that time. In order to verify the efficacy of the medicine, and to prevent people from gathering in large numbers from contracting malaria or other diseases, I have already reported it to the emperor. I hope
I can send two doctors to go with you. If your sores are not healed when you set off, they can also take care of them along the way."
Zhang Shou paused for a moment after saying this. He saw that most of the eight people in the prisons on both sides, including Xian Yunhe, were overjoyed. He thought to himself that even in Qiongzhou Prefecture, doctors are afraid of death. Most of them hide as far away as possible. He
Originally, I had no hope at all when I went to report to the emperor, and planned to go to the prisons in various places in Beizhili to see if any doctors had committed crimes when it failed.
Among the ten quack doctors who are accused of harming people, maybe there is always one who has offended someone, or who has been falsely accused?
Who knew that the maverick emperor made all his worries and preparation plans in vain - there was a strange person who was excluded from the imperial hospital, and that strange imperial doctor also worked part-time as a widower for Yin Wangjie of Shuntian Prefecture. Now that Wang Jie is not here, Qin Guogong Zhang
Chuan refused to accept the imperial doctor doing this, so Qi Pa asked his grandfather to tell his grandmother that he wanted to be transferred to Shuntian Mansion to change his career. Somehow the emperor found out about this.
Since a strange disease of Concubine Zeng Yu had been cured with decoction, the emperor followed the principle of utilizing talents - although he felt that the emperor was just for fun and felt that such strange things were wasted in the narrow circle of the Imperial Hospital.
——He kicked the prisoner to him, along with two young apprentices who were trained by him. Now, there are also doctors who will follow the prisoner to Qiongzhou Mansion!
"Dr. Zhang, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness, we..."
Zhang Shou laughed, shook his hand and interrupted: "No need to thank you, what I need is for you to plant a tree in return. What's more, the cinchona tree is only claimed to the outside world, and its bark can only treat falciparum malaria, and
It cannot be cured, and it may not be able to cure some types of malaria. What I need you to plant more is another kind of tree, the rubber tree."
He described in detail the scene of rubber tree tapping. Everyone was extremely surprised to see a tree that could flow liquid like goat's milk. However, Zhang Shou only lightly mentioned the uses of rubber trees.
"The glue flowing from this tree can be used in many places. But because you need to cultivate seedlings first and then transplant them, it is very troublesome. You may have to spend at least a few years. Of course, you don't have to worry about Qiongzhou.
Life will be difficult for the government. After all, this happened because of me. Before there is any output, I will try to make up for your daily needs."
"How is this possible!"
Xian Yunhe was the first to object. At this moment, others also hurriedly refused. The emperor could punish the eldest prince for the Cangzhou incident. From their simple minds, this was beyond their best imagination. Then
The emperor was able to deal with them and other people who had caused trouble with them reasonably. In their eyes, the Holy Emperor had to be clear-eyed this time.
And Zhang Shou calmly talked to them about the future and promised them a good life, who wouldn't be embarrassed? Even if someone really wants to accept this kind of subsidy shamelessly and finds that his peers refuse, of course he has to go along with it.
It's a big flow.
"You don't need to say it anymore, this is a done deal. Then you just have to listen to the arrangements. Speaking of which, in addition to planting trees, the environment in Qiongzhou Prefecture is also very suitable for growing many special fruits. It may be difficult for you to eat them in the future.
Cangzhou candied dates, but if you have free time, you can also grow other fruits..."
When it came to eating, a smile gradually appeared on Zhang Shou's face. He talked about the refreshing and delicious coconuts, the soft and sweet bananas, and the sweet and tempting mangoes... No matter whether Qiongzhou Prefecture has these things these days.
Fruit, anyway, he gave examples one by one, which made several prisoners forget about the burning pain in their buttocks!
Although Xian Yunhe felt that Zhang Shou wanted to exaggerate that Qiongzhou Mansion was a good place...but as he listened, he still had some hope.
In that place far away from Emperor Gao, was there really a pure land where men farmed and women weaved?
Just as he was thinking this, Zhang Shou suddenly asked: "There is one more thing I forgot to ask. Do you have wives, children, and children at home? If so, do you want them to follow you to Qiongzhou Mansion or stay in Cangzhou? Of course.
, go and stay for a while. If you go, I will instruct the ship and the local people to take care of you. If you stay, whether you are good at weaving or growing cotton, I can arrange it."
Needless to say, Xian Yunhe was a bachelor for ten thousand years, while others were also single, and some had parents, wives and children, but they couldn't help but hesitate.
Zhang Shou's statement about whether to stay or leave makes it really difficult to choose. His wife and children will undoubtedly not have to be alone, and the only worry is whether they will endure hardship. It is indeed better to stay in his hometown of Cangzhou and not have to leave his hometown, but the family of the prisoner
Will these four words attract covetation and discrimination in the future?
Seeing everyone's hesitation, Zhang Shou simply gave a brief explanation of the cooperative's affairs. When he finished speaking, Xian Yunhe was the first to react: "If we can really gather all the scattered spinners, weavers, and cotton farmers together,
, no exploitation, no deduction, so that everyone can have food and clothing, that would be great!"
It is impossible not to exploit or deduct. The only possibility is to exploit less and deduct less, so that the originally bloody capital will appear a little more tender and tender. Moreover, when machines begin to become popular, we will also need to use the big data
Construction and other projects and jobs to divert redundant labor...
Zhang Shou thought so in his heart, but knew that this was a topic that could only be mentioned to a few people who could understand, so he immediately said: "In short, you can think about the family matters slowly, and let the jailer report to me later.
But, okay, that’s it for today, just take good care of your injuries.”
After saying this, Zhang Shou turned around and walked out of the cell, and then walked outside. When he almost reached the door leading to the outer cell, he heard a call from behind him that made him extremely speechless.
That was not Xian Yunhe's voice, but his tone sounded extremely sincere: "Dr. Zhang, although I hated myself to death when I was beaten just now, and it still hurts to death now, after hearing so much from you just now, I still want to call you Xiao Zhang.
Qingtian! If the magistrate of Changlu County was someone like you, we wouldn't have reached this stage! I can eat enough for myself and the whole family is not hungry. No matter whether Qiongzhou Prefecture is so good or not, I will not come back to Cangzhou! Maybe we will not see each other again in the future.
It’s your turn, but I will remember you as an official!”
