Chapter 025: Rescue (3)
The residential nursing home in the Song Dynasty was a welfare and adoption home set up by the imperial court; It is used to adopt the elderly, orphans, abandoned babies, vagrant beggars, and the disabled, and the adopted orphans will also receive free basic education.
On Chai Fong is a welfare hospital that treats poor patients free of charge.
Leaky Garden is a welfare cemetery. Those who have no owner's bones and those whose families are poor and have no burial place are buried by the official family, and their land is called "Leaky Garden".
When Liu Min read history in later generations, he knew that the welfare of the Song Dynasty society was not generally good, but quite good; But most of them were after Song Shenzong Yuanfeng, especially when Cai Jing was the prime minister, he was the promoter of the three major welfare undertakings, the nursing home, Anjifang, and the Leaky Zeyuan.
Cai Jing was the prime minister of the Song Huizong Dynasty, or simply a traitor; has a luxurious private life, and the ruling is misleading; He is also a famous calligrapher.
However, during Cai Jing's reign, he vigorously promoted social welfare undertakings such as nursing homes, Anjifang, and Leaky Zeyuan, and countless poor commoners of the Song Dynasty benefited from Cai Jing's welfare policies.
It seems that people have two sides, like the treacherous Cai Jing; When he showed his treacherous side, he did not forget to do some good deeds for the people dutifully.
It's a pity that some Chinese people are short-sighted, saying that whoever is bad is a bubble of stinky shit; It is true that whoever is good is an angel sent by the Jade Emperor to the mortal world.
During his reign, Cai Jing was able to actively promote and promote the vigorous development of social welfare, so that the people could get benefits; Its pro-people style is still commendable.
However, after Cai Jing was accused of being a traitor, his calligraphy also gave Cai Xiang's name; Removing Cai Jing from the list of the four great calligraphers of the Northern Song Dynasty will be a bit suspicious of the fire at the city gate and the fish in the pond.
The three welfare systems of the Nursing Home, the Anjifang, and the Leaky Garden basically cover the relief of the poor "from the cradle to the grave".
According to the plan of the Cai Jing government, all prefectures and counties in the world and slightly larger walled cities and towns must set up nursing homes, Anjifang, and Leaky Zeyuan to help those who cannot survive on their own.
More than a year ago, the Song Dynasty had such a brilliant welfare undertaking, no wonder those foreign sinologists wanted to travel to the Song Dynasty to live.
In the era of Song Huizong, where Cai Jing lived, there was still a 127-year time and space gap between Oak Forest Village, Huayang County, Chengdu Prefecture, Yizhou, where Liu Min was standing at the moment.
That is to say, when Cai Jing was the prime minister of Song Huizong; There are still 127 years before Song Taizu opened the treasure eight years.
But at this time, the oak forest already had some welfare institutions such as the nursing home, Anjifang, Leaky Garden, school, and Sanfotang, I don't know if it was the gift of Song Taizu? Or is it the achievements of Meng Chang, the lord of Houshu? A large part of the good things that Lu Shenghan, the old minister of Lu Mansion, and Lu Chengyu, the little minister, have done for the people in their hometown!
Who made the welfare facilities in the oak grove come from, Liu Min didn't care about getting to the bottom of it, she was thinking about how to operate on Grandpa Fire and Uncle Fire Buffalo.
Liu Min was led by Lu Chengyu into the Three Buddhas Hall in the oak forest.
To put it bluntly, the Three Buddha Hall in the oak forest is in the back garden of Lu Mansion.
The back garden of Lu Mansion is really big, with lush tall trees and low shrubs surrounding a rippling lake; Lu Chengyu: This is Crescent Lake.
Liu Min fixed his eyes to see that the rippling blue water of the lake really looked like the crescent moon of the third and fourth days of the first month; Calmly poked in the lush greenery of the trees.
The water of the lake is crystal clear, and the white swans, mallards, wild mandarin ducks and shelducks swim on the crystal clear surface of the lake, adding a few scenery to this beautiful crescent moon lake.
On the west side of Crescent Lake, there are several antique tall buildings, which are the Three Buddha Hall.
Liu Min rarely heard the name of Sanfotang in later generations, and it was very difficult to pronounce it; After Lu Chengyuyi's introduction, Liu Min learned that this was a free medical center for the villagers.
In the Song Dynasty, Taizu Kaibao opened eight years of oak forest, and a village like Oak Forest did not need money to see a doctor, which is really a wonder; Those young people who scolded the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty as worthless, once they crossed over to see such a free medical hall with their own eyes; I don't know what kind of mood it is.
That's right, the Northern Song Dynasty was repeatedly defeated in military diplomacy; was beaten all over the ground by the Khitan people of the Liao State and the Western Xia Dangxiang people, and later was destroyed by the Jurchens who were nomadic on the banks of the Heilongjiang River; The Southern Song Dynasty also gave the descendants of Genghis Khan the sun to fall, and from this point of view, they were to be scolded; But why didn't the most literati and young people in culture, economy, and science and technology created by the Northern Song Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty mention it......
Liu Min was lifting the basket bucket and moving, and when he saw a medical officer of the Three Buddha Hall who didn't need money for the people to treat their patients, he thought so much; It's a big fuss.
However, Liu Min soon understood that the so-called medical treatment does not require money, unless it is a fever, cold, diarrhea, small pain and itching, and the method adopted is also traditional Chinese medicine treatment.
For example, diseases such as colds are seasonal, and Sanfotang boiled a large pot of medicinal soup to prevent colds in advance and provided them to the villagers; As for the revenge of the doctors and men in the Sanfotang Medical Hall and the medical expenses, I am afraid that some of them will have to be allocated by the imperial court; Some of the big wealthy households were raised, and in the end, all of them were covered by Lu Chengyu's family; That is, the mouth of the pipe gourd is full.
From this point of view, the Lu family is a commendable family of goodness, and its feelings are commendable; The Three Buddha Hall Medical Center is located in the backyard of their house, which is a reasonable thing.
The four guards and the four palanquin bearers of Lu Wang had already carried Huo Renfu and Huo Buffalo father and son into the Sanfotang Medical Hall.
Liu Min, Lu Chengyu, Zhou Xiaozheng, Yang Ziming and others walked to the gate, and an old man dressed in a green cloth robe and a soft head came out to greet him.
As soon as the old man saw Lu Chengyu, he immediately clasped his hands into fists and bowed and said, "The young master is coming to the hall, Yunmeng is full of glory!" ”
Lu Chengyu also saluted: "Mr. Yunmeng, who was born late, sent you two patients today; I hope Mr. Yunmeng will bother a lot! ”
Liu Min had already estimated from the short conversation between Lu Chengyu and the old man: This person's name or honorific title is Mr. Yunmeng.
Mr. Yunmeng called Lu Chengyu the young master and did not call Lu Tongju, which means that his seniority is higher than Lu Chengyu.
Mr. is the title of the doctor in the Song Dynasty, and this Mr. Yunmeng is the head of the Sanfotang Medical Center; Lu Chengyu claimed that his late age and seniority were lower than those of the elderly.
Liu Min stared at Mr. Yun Meng, and Mr. Yun Meng glanced back at her; Seeing that Liu Min was only seven or eight years old, he couldn't help but ask Lu Chengyu in a daze: "Young master, this child is ......?"
"This kid is a cypress forest, and his name is Liu Min!" Lu Chengyu said bluntly: "The two injured people sent in front are Liu Min's grandfather and uncle, and she wants to come over to accompany them!" ”
Lu Chengyu said with emotion: "I went to Chengdu in the late life, and accompanied by Lu Wang, I took a small sedan chair to the oak forest, and Liu Min stopped the sedan chair!" ”
After a pause, he swallowed his throat and said: "The lower officials have seen people who stopped the sedan chair and shouted injustice, but Liu Min stopped the sedan chair to report the murderer; said that Pan Zhiwen of the Oak Forest led more than 100 villagers and people from the Cypress Forest to fight for water! ”
Sighing and feeling sorry for himself: "The late student listened to Liu Min's report and asked Lu Wang to rush to the scene to stop it, but it was too late; Liu Min's grandfather and uncle were one of them had their skulls broken, and the other had their jaws broken by shoveling! ”
Mr. Yunmeng listened to Lu Chengyu's serious words, and after being silent for a while, he grabbed his arm and dragged him aside and said, "Young master, the old man sees that these two people have no rescue value; Let's prepare for the aftermath for them! ”
Mr. Yunmeng dragged Lu Chengyu aside to speak, the purpose was not to let Liu Min hear and be afraid that she would be frightened when she heard it.
Mr. Yun Meng's worries are full of kindness, but Liu Min knows better than him about Huo Renfu and Huo Buffalo's injuries; Welfare social institutions like the Sanfotang Medical Center are simply unable to save the lives of Grandpa Huo and Uncle Buffalo, but Liu Min is confident that he can save the two of them......
