After some time, a man with a long beard led a few unkempt men to the door of the pharmacy. I saw that these people had yellow and thin faces, and their faces were bloodless. The bearded man said to the shopkeeper, "Please cure these people for me." β
The shopkeeper sighed, shook his head, and said, "I can't cure these people's diseases." Qian Jinlin on the side was shocked when he heard this: The shopkeeper can even cure "death and disease", and there are still diseases in this world that he can't cure?
The bearded man smiled and said, "I can cure this disease." As he spoke, he took out a few steamed buns from his bosom and gave them to those people to eat. Several people ate steamed buns, and their faces gradually became bloody. The long beard said: "The reason why they are colorless and weak is because they can't eat, which is a 'hunger disease'!" You were not cured, but I was cured, and now I will pluck your pot. As he spoke, he took the bamboo pole and was about to pick up the pot.
When Qian Jinlin saw it, he said loudly: "Stop! You're here to make trouble, get a few hungry ghosts who haven't eaten, and pretend to be some kind of sick person! β
The bearded man said: "A few people can't eat and don't call it sick, and people in a whole prefecture can't eat, and this county is sick!" This is all to blame for the incompetence of the county magistrate, who made the boundary under his jurisdiction 'sick'. β
The shopkeeper waved his hand: "Jin Lin, let him pick the pot, I really haven't been cured of this disease." β
All three copper kettles were removed. The shopkeeper asked: "Today I was planted in your hands, and I admit it, but I want to know who defeated me, so I want to ask who is the surname of the good man?" β
The long beard pulled the beard off his face, and the beard actually fell off, and it turned out that he had a fake beard. The shopkeeper took a closer look, and hurriedly bowed his head and bowed: "Your Highness, you, why are you here?" β
That's right, the one who came to find fault was Li Chengzong, the supreme lord of the Han Kingdom, and saw Li Chengzong smile slightly: "Zhao Jinyu, you get up." β
It turned out that the shopkeeper of this pharmacy was the prefect of Langxi, surnamed Zhao Jinyu. He loves the art of Qi Huang, and during the day, he is promoted to the court to try cases, handle government affairs, and go to the pharmacy at night to treat people, and gradually, his mind moves to the pharmacy.
Li Chengzong said: "Zhao Jinyu, although it is a good thing for you to treat the sick and save people, it is not a serious thing. You are the prefect of Langxi, and you want the people to have enough food and clothing and live a peaceful life, but you Langxie have two years of drought and one year of flood, and the people have no food, but you have no intention of disaster relief. If you put aside big things and don't do urgent things, but you treat people at night, isn't this putting the cart before the horse, picking up sesame seeds and losing watermelon? β
After a pause, Li Chengzong said again: "As a parent official in a place, you have to keep the people fed and clothed, and these are all done, and it is not too late for you to open a pharmacy to see a doctor." If you can hang a pot in front of the yamen, I hope you can also hang three copper kettles, indicating that you can try any case and do justice! β
Zhao Jinyu was ashamed when he heard this, and since then he has changed his ways, and later became a good official, and the people gave him a nickname - "The Treasurer Prefect", which is a later story, not to mention it for the time being.
Just when Li Chengzong was teaching his subordinates, a pair of young parents hurriedly walked into the pharmacy with a child in their arms, and as soon as they entered the pharmacy, the little woman in the little couple cried and begged, "Sir, please, save my child......."
"Yes, sir, be merciful and save my child......." The man in the young couple also pleaded with a worried and impatient look on his face.
Zhao Jinyu took a look, ouch, the child of their little couple must be seriously ill, so he hurriedly followed the questions in the four diagnosis methods and began to treat the child.
It turned out that the family surnamed Wang had a son who had just turned one year old. One day, the mother took a round iron nail of spiked shoes for her son to play with.
The child didn't know it, and it was stuffed into the mouth by mistake, and it couldn't get out of the throat when swallowed. The mother was shocked when she saw this, and hurriedly lifted the child's feet and tried to pour out the nails, but the child was spraying blood from her nostrils, and the situation was very critical. The child's parents called for help, and they hurriedly took the child to the nearest pharmacy to their home to ask for help, and happened to meet Li Chengzong teaching Zhao Jinyu a lesson.
As soon as Zhao Jinyu heard that the child had swallowed an iron nail, he immediately hurried to a problematic one, what should I do? Just when Zhao Jinyu was helpless, Li Chengzong spoke, "Wang Weishi, you hugged your child, I'll take a look......."
The child's mother, Wang Weishi, hurriedly hugged the child, and heard the child cry "wow". Li Chengzong suddenly concluded that the iron nail had entered his stomach, "Hey, you guys, just carelessly, something like an iron nail can be used to make a toy?" Let me tell you, now that the nail has entered the stomach, I don't blame the shopkeeper for being helpless........"
"What, the iron nails have entered the stomach??" The child's parents were so frightened that they had no master, and begged Li Chengzong to think of a way, "This doctor, you are also a doctor, right?" Please, save our children......"
"Doctor?? Hehehe, sort of....." Li Chengzong was stunned, he was really a doctor, Li Chengzong admitted that he was a doctor, which surprised Zhao Jinyu, he didn't expect that the statement that his king Li Chengzong was a famous doctor was true, when Li Chengzong admitted that he was a doctor, he quickly said, "This gentleman is not only a doctor, he is also the king of our Han Kingdom......."
"What? You say he's His Highness?? Only then did the little couple notice Li Chengzong, who had taken off his disguise, hey, isn't this the person who is exactly the same as the statue of the king in the city, doesn't this mean that they met their king?
"Your Highness, woo woo, they all say that you can do anything...... We beg you, save my child......." The little couple knows a lot of legends about the little couple, in the eyes of the people. Li Chengzong is an omnipotent god......
Li Chengzong fell into deep thought, he remembered that there was a sentence in the "Shennong's Materia Medica" "Iron fear and simple nitrate", and came up with a treatment plan. He asked Zhao Jinyu to take one penny of the living magnet and two coins of Pu Ni, grind it into fine powder, and then mix it with cooked lard and honey and let the child take it.
Soon, the child untied an object, as big as a taro, lubricated without edges, and the medicine protected its surface, and when he opened it, he saw that the iron nail that had been swallowed by mistake was wrapped inside. The child's parents were grateful and thanked again and again, and Zhao Jinyu was even more impressed, and he asked for the mystery.
Li Chengzong explained: "The four medicines used, such as miscanthus salt, magnet, lard and honey, are related to each other and are indispensable. If there is no magnet for iron absorption, it cannot tarsal on iron nails; If the magnet does not shed salt, it cannot drive out the iron nails.
Lard and honey mainly lubricate the intestines and make the nails easy to drain - honey is also a favorite flavoring agent for children. The above four medicines work together, and the protective nails are discharged from the intestines. β
After hearing this, Zhao Jinyu said with understanding: "It makes sense! It is no wonder that traditional Chinese medicine pays attention to compatibility, and it turns out that each flavor medicine plays an important role in the formula! β
These two monarchs and ministers are doctors, maybe they didn't expect that the matter of their treatment for the people would spread ten or ten hundreds, and finally it was a household name, and Li Chengzong's status in the minds of the people even rose a lot because of this incident.....
