Tian Dalang was a little at a loss, and asked suspiciously: "I don't know what this official is going to do?" ”

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'm not a villain, I'm out of your father's medicine money, let's go, carry your father in." ”

Tian Dalang was overjoyed when he heard this, knowing that he had met a nobleman, and thanked him again and again.

After entering the medical hall, the doctor sitting in the hall saw the person coming, and hurriedly got up and said, "Meet the county magistrate!" ”

"The magistrate?"

The father and son of the Tian family were suddenly startled.

"I wonder what the officials commanded?"

The doctor said.

"I met this father and son just now, I know the reason for the matter, you can treat this old man, and the medicine money will be recorded in the name of the official."

When the doctor heard this, he said, "Ximen official, forgive me, I also know that this father and son are pitiful, but if they want to save the old man's life, they must be disinfected with alcohol and mixed with penicillium."

You should also know how expensive this Penicillium is, and the amount allocated by the imperial court to this county is not much, so I can only do things according to the rules.

Since the official is willing to pay for this medicine, I will naturally do my best to treat it, but the initial treatment will cost 50 yuan, and although the follow-up treatment is not so much, it is also a large cost.

I know that officials are kind-hearted, but if everyone is like this, even if they are rich, they will not be able to help everyone.

”

Ximen Zhixian heard that this ridiculously expensive medicine money, his face was also a little surprised, his monthly income was only forty, and he had to take out nearly two months' income at this time, which was also painful for him.

But the words have been spoken, and the hardships of the people under his rule are unbearable, and it is also unfavorable for himself to be an official.

"Well, I know, write down how much money you should use, and then send someone to the county office to get the money."

"Well, since the official personally promised, I naturally can trust it."

After that, let Tian Dalang help his father to sit down on a chair, and after checking it, he said: "Your father's bone is broken, and it was not treated in time, and the wound has been infected, but it was sent in time, rest assured that as long as it is treated, it will be fine." ”

When Tian Dalang heard this, he quickly knelt down for the doctor and said, "Please save my father." ”

"You shouldn't thank me, if you want to thank Ximen officials, I'm just doing things according to the rules."

"Thank you, Ximen officials, thank you, Ximen officials."

Tian Dalang kowtowed again and again.

Ximen Zhixian hurriedly helped him up and said: "There is no need to say thank you, after all, this county is under the rule of this official, and it is impossible to watch my Daqi people die in front of them like this, okay, let the doctor treat your father first!" ”

Tian Dalang nodded repeatedly.

Half an hour later, Daddy Tian's right leg had been put in a plaster cast, and he limped out of the house on crutches.

Seeing this, Tian Dalang said excitedly: "Ah Dad! You can stand up. ”

Father Tian was also happy, and even the two of them expressed their gratitude.

"The official is very gracious, and the small people will never forget."

Tian Dalang bowed.

Ximen Zhixian said: "I am a local parent official, this is a matter of this official, there is no need for kindness, I just hope that you can live a good life in the future." ”

As he spoke, Ximen Zhixian asked, "Do you have brothers and sisters in your family?" ”

"There are two younger brothers and three younger sisters!"

Tian Dalang replied truthfully.

"How old are they?"

"Two younger brothers, one fifteen and the other thirteen! The younger sisters are still young. ”

"Do you want to go to school?"

"The third brother is studying, and the second brother is helping to farm."

"Hmmm! Now that the imperial court wants to build a railway, it needs some people, and the county will also produce some people. ”

When Tian Dalang heard this, he was immediately embarrassed.

"Official, the fields in the family used to rely on our father and son to plant, but now my father's leg is not well, and the second brother is not yet an adult, if he goes to work, the field will be uncultivated, how can I take out the grain to pay taxes after the autumn."

"Building the railway is no better than others, although it is hard, but the court has taken out a lot of money this time, as long as the railway is completed, the salary is not less than farming, I say this, whether it is to fight hard once, or to do it today, it is your choice."

I can help you once, what about next time? Your Majesty said that people who have no long-term concerns must have near-term worries, so think about it!

”

As he spoke, he pulled the little girl next to him and said, "Let's go!" ”

The little girl nodded obediently.

Seeing this, the father and son of the Tian family hurriedly and respectfully sent Ximen out of the hospital.

"Daddy, my mother is still waiting for us to go home!"

The little girl pulled Simon and urged.

Simon touched the little girl's hair dotingly.

Watching Simon's father and daughter disappear on the corner of the street, the Tian family's father and son were speechless.

After a while, Father Tian said, "Let's go home too!" ”

Tian Dalang nodded, silently picked up Father Tian, and embarked on the road back to the village for more than ten miles.

At night, in the county office, Ximen sat at the desk for a long time, and the oil lamp on the table had been added with lamp oil once.

Simon took out a fold, dipped his pen in ink, and wrote hard.

A month later, the Chang'an court meeting.

"Ladies and gentlemen, there is still a book to play!"

Yang Hao said.

Seeing that there was no one, Yang Hao was about to retreat from the court, but at this time, the school secretary of the Ministry of Rites stepped forward and said: "Your Majesty! Zhang Bing, the school secretary of the Ministry of Rites, has a book to play! ”

Yang Hao frowned, although Xiao Shulang is a Beijing official, but he is only a five-grade petty official, barely qualified to participate in the court meeting, under normal circumstances, it is not the turn of such a petty official to speak at the court meeting, and now this person stands up, not only Yang Hao, but the rest of the officials also look at Zhang Bing with a puzzled expression.

Yang Hao said: "What does Zhang Xiaoshu have to play!" ”

"Your Majesty, the Governor of Shanyang County, Qinzhou presents a folded letter! Your Majesty, please take a look. ”

Zhang Bing knelt down on one knee and said.

"Since it is a fold and a self-inspection, it is to be inspected by the Division!"

Yang Hao said.

"Your Majesty! Shanyang Zhixian is a classmate and friend of Weichen, this arrogance is really a major matter, the minister thought about it again and again, and dared to mention this to His Majesty. ”

Although Zhang Bing said calmly, his forehead was already covered with cold sweat and he was extremely nervous.

His move is extremely risky, if Yang Haoren is inconsequential about the things he mentioned, he is likely to be punished for the crime of trespassing and rudeness, and if he doesn't get it right, he will be demoted, but Simon has a life-saving grace for himself, and the things mentioned by the folds, he also thinks that it is related to the people's livelihood, so he is willing to take the risk to do this.

Yang Hao looked at His Royal Highness Zhang Bing, who was kneeling on one knee, and said in a deep voice: "Come on, bring the responsibility." ”

The palace man quickly took the fold and handed it to Yang Hao.

The atmosphere in the hall was extremely quiet, and only the sound of paper turning could be heard.

After a long time, Yang Hao closed the fold, and his expression showed a hint of strangeness.

This twist and turn was indeed unexpected to him, and he did not expect that in this era, someone would actually think of the issue of medical security.

Ximen told the situation of Tian Dalang's family in the compromise, and wrote his own views on this matter, feeling that it was necessary for the imperial court to solve the problem that the people could not afford to see a doctor, otherwise the hospital could only serve the rich and noble, and the poor would only have to wait for death.
