So, the couple stood up, but everyone around them knelt down.

Emperor Chongzhen ignored the others and asked the man with concern, "Is there no money to see a doctor?" ”

At the beginning, he remembered very clearly that all the food used by their family to save money was donated to the imperial court. It's not borrowed, it's really donated. At that time, he knew that the family was not wealthy.

This man is very excited, God really pity, he actually met the current emperor who loves the people like a son again!

Hearing the emperor's question, he remembered his son's condition, so he quickly nodded and said: "The child's condition has not been good, and the family can no longer take out any property to see the doctor." ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he reached out and touched the child's forehead, which was a little hot, obviously still having a fever.

So, he turned his head, looked down at the middle-aged man who was kneeling there, obviously saw the middle-aged man who was still trembling with fear, and then ordered solemnly: "Treat the child immediately, I will give you a doctor." If you're not sure, tell me! ”

"Don't dare, don't dare, grass people don't dare!" The middle-aged man dared to ask for the emperor's medical fee, at this time, he was shocked that this poor couple who were so poor that they actually knew the emperor today, and it seemed that the relationship was not bad.

Although Emperor Chongzhen didn't have a good impression of this middle-aged man, he didn't get angry and shouted at him.

After all, people do open a medical hall, not a charity hall. The so-called benevolence of doctors, who can treat the poor without caring about the cost of consultation, is praised and praised because it is very rare. Obviously, this medical center does not belong to this kind of hospital, but it can't be said how bad people are.

"Hugh is long-winded, hurry up and see the child!" Emperor Chongzhen commanded coldly.

The middle-aged man didn't dare to be verbose, so he quickly kowtowed, and then got up, immediately began to make a preliminary diagnosis, and then immediately bowed his head and said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, this disease can be cured!" ”

"Then cure it quickly!" When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seemed that it was a common illness. So, his tone softened a little, and he immediately commanded.

"The grass people obey!" The middle-aged man hurriedly responded, and then took the family to the inside to start the treatment.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen looked around, looked at these people who were joining in the fun, and said lightly: "This family is poor, but when the imperial court borrowed grain to fight the prisoners, they did not hesitate to take out the grain they had finally accumulated. At that time, they didn't know my identity, but they only met by chance on the side of the road, but when I asked, they told me that even if the court did not return the grain, they were willing to donate it willingly to build a prisoner to do their part. ”

Speaking of this, after a pause, he suddenly sighed and said, "I didn't expect that when they were in trouble, they would meet me again." It can be seen that good people are rewarded after all. Doing more good deeds is the way to sustain oneself! ”

When he had the chance, Emperor Chongzhen didn't mind teaching his people, and after saying this, he let them disperse.

These onlookers didn't dare to have the slightest atmosphere, and they withdrew far away, and some even began to relax after returning to their own homes. Thinking back to the scene just now, I have all kinds of thoughts.

Some people, envious of that team of couples, have met the current emperor twice before and after, what kind of luck is this, so that there will be such an adventure?

Some people, while feeling envious of that team of couples, suddenly regretted it very much. If you had reached out to help at that time, instead of staying in the crowd and moving your mouth, then this scene would have been seen by the emperor and entered the eyes of the emperor.

Recalling this encounter, they had to admit that the emperor was right: good people will be rewarded after all. Doing more good deeds is the way to sustain oneself!

Of course, these onlookers will not hold back this once-in-a-lifetime incident in their hearts, but gossip about their neighbors, relatives and friends, so what Emperor Chongzhen said will spread.

Besides, on the side of Baicaotang, the emperor is waiting for the results, and the medical hall naturally does not dare to slack off, the efficiency is extremely high, and the child's condition is quickly dealt with, and then he comes to tell him that after taking a course of medicine, it will take about seven or eight days, and the child should be able to recover.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he was a little happier in his heart, nodded and asked, "Li Qing, give him a doctor!" ”

Li Ruolian listened, but didn't dare to say, why did I pay for this money? Instead, he immediately bowed down and said, "The last will obey!" ”

Then I asked the middle-aged man how much the consultation fee was?

When the middle-aged man heard their conversation and went to see Li Ruolian again, he probably guessed that this Li Qing in front of him should be the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

If it is said that because of the emperor's reputation for loving the people like a son, he is not very afraid of the common people, then for the commander of the Jinyi Guard, he is really afraid. At this time, he dared to ask for any medical fees.

However, what the emperor said, Li Ruolian could not disobey and forcibly gave the consultation fee.

After this incident, this middle-aged man regretted very much in his heart, if he could not care so much and treat the child, maybe he could get a piece of the "doctor's benevolence" given by the emperor. It's okay now, although the emperor has a large number of adults, he shouldn't be counted, but what about those brocade guards?

After thinking about it, he also came up with a way, and the next day he hung up a sign: Grateful for the emperor's teachings, free clinic every morning, and no medical fee will be charged.

This matter, after it spread all over the Jingshi, other medical centers also followed suit. It's better to make less money, but if you do more good deeds, maybe you will be rewarded!

Of course, these things were still unknown to Emperor Chongzhen at this time. When he saw the couple who came out with the child in their arms and wanted to salute him again, he stretched out his hand to help him and said with a smile: "There is no need to be so polite! ”

He then asked where the couple lived, how was he doing, etc. In the end, I simply accompanied them back and took a look at the situation by the way.

Along the way, the child's mother held the child and returned in a sedan chair. And the child's father accompanied Emperor Chongzhen on foot and answered the emperor's various questions.

Through this kind of direct dialogue with the people at the bottom of the people, Emperor Chongzhen learned that situations like this family actually abound. It is really not easy for poor families to see a doctor. In many cases, it is hard to hold on, and it is best to survive it, and if you can't hold it, it is a bad fate.

In this case, or in a similar situation, it is actually unreasonable to condemn those medical centers. After all, people do have to support their families. Even if you don't support your family, you still want to make more money and make your family live a better life. These are all human nature, and these ordinary people cannot be criticized.

In the end, Emperor Chongzhen left fifty taels of silver for the family, and instructed Li Ruolian to look at the family and then go back to the palace.

Along the way, he was thinking about the medical treatment he encountered this time.

No matter in the past or present life, no matter how rich or poor, people are inseparable from two major events.

One is to eat; The second is to see a doctor.

Since the past few years, I have been committed to eating. Prevent the emergence of starving people, and prevent the emergence of rebellion caused by the common people who cannot survive. From the current point of view, eating this matter is barely qualified, but it can't be relaxed.

So what about seeing a doctor, I have ignored it before. It can even be said that in the past, I couldn't take care of it.

But now it is different, the Liaodong Jianyu has been destroyed, and the Mongolian tribes in the northern steppes have almost been conquered. Although there was a Japanese state, it was limited to North Korea, and the Ming Dynasty was beaten out. More importantly, the income of the national treasury is getting richer every year.

If you have money, you have confidence!

If you have money, you can do things!

The money in the treasury, kept rotten, that is definitely not something that a worthy emperor would do.

It is time to take it from the people and use it for the people, and it is time to start doing it.

Emperor Chongzhen thought about this medical treatment, and naturally thought of setting up a public hospital at the first time. However, under such conditions in ancient times, how to set up public hospitals needs to be carefully considered.

So, just like that, the incident of encountering the couple on the street became the fuse of major changes in the history of Daming medicine.

However, the first thing Emperor Chongzhen did after returning to the palace was to solve the matter of the Ming monetary system.

After careful consideration, he convened the important ministers of the court to discuss.

To Emperor Chongzhen's surprise, when he mentioned that he wanted to print more silver tickets and was about to use silver tickets to replace the physical silver in circulation, a group of people led by Xue Guoguan immediately objected, and even mentioned the example of the Ming treasure banknote. Anyway, it's just bitter, trying to persuade the emperor to stop this idea.

In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen was also helpless, so he had to explain the basic economic knowledge to these important ministers of the Ming Dynasty, that is, the knowledge of currency. Tell them that if they don't do much, they will eventually not have enough money, and then it will cause large-scale social problems.

Fortunately, these important ministers of the Ming Dynasty are all human spirits, and after some explanations by Emperor Chongzhen, they can be regarded as understanding the principle of this. Not to mention, the way they looked at the emperor's eyes, it was immediately different: the emperor could even think of such a thing, how did he do it?

Later, Emperor Chongzhen explained to them that he did not print more silver bills at will, but according to the estimation of the treasury income in the coming year, and used this as a mortgage guarantee, appropriately printed more silver bills, and circulated them to the society by letting the provincial banks lend, so as to balance the relationship between goods and money.

Of course, in this era, it is impossible to be as detailed as later generations, and the statistics of various data alone are not displayed. Currency issuance can only be determined on the basis of national revenues, not other economic indicators such as gross national product.

In any case, it's better to do this than not to do it!

After reaching a consensus, the monarchs and ministers were busy with it.

At the same time, the matter of returning food to the Jingshi side has also come to an end. And someone, at this time, finally arrived at the legendary Ming Kingdom Jingshi, the most prosperous place in the world.
