The 113th time to give medicine to doctors
Lu Ren made such a move, and Zhang Zhongjing was naturally surprised. However, Zhang Zhongjing didn't go over to greet Lu Ren immediately, because Zhang Zhongjing was attracted by a few things on the medicine stall at this time...... In fact, it is not a very unusual thing, it is nothing more than the soup and tea being brewed at the medicine stall.
There are several so-called soup teas, such as mung bean soup, mint tea, and wanglaoji...... Oh no, it's herbal tea. These are relatively common things to relieve the heat, and they were also very common in the Han Dynasty. The only difference is that the soup and water are boiled with an appropriate amount of sugar, which makes these heat-relieving things have a good taste, and they are no longer so bland and tasteless, or even difficult to eat because of astringency and bitterness. But let's be honest, these things are already very good drinks when added with the right amount of sugar.
It's just that those soups and water naturally can't arouse Zhang Zhongjing's curiosity, and what really makes Zhang Zhongjing curious is the sugar of those white flowers. You must know that at this time, Lu Ren only came to Jingzhou for the second time, and although the merchant ship group led by Mi Zhen ran the Jingzhou trade route several times, each time it was only able to traffic about 30,000 catties of sugar, and the freight volume of a few trips was not enough for the internal digestion of Xiangyang, and the price was not something that ordinary people could bear. Therefore, although Zhang Zhongjing has heard of it, he has not seen it with his own eyes.
Zhang Zhongjing was curious, and a bamboo cup was handed to him, followed by Lu Ren's voice: "Mr. Zhongjing, please try this cup of herbal tea." ”
Zhang Zhongjing was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously took the bamboo cup and then took a fine one...... He's a healer! Just between the smell of this product, Zhang Zhongjing immediately judged the several flavors of medicinal materials contained in this cup of herbal tea. With his medical skills, he naturally quickly understood that this herbal tea was a good thing to relieve the heat. And now is the busy season of farming, how beneficial this herbal tea is to the people who are sweating in the summer heat, Zhang Zhongjing is naturally very clear.
After taking another sip, Zhang Zhaojing handed the bamboo cup in his hand to the servants beside him, and then saluted Lu Ren in the sample mink that hung Lu Ren: "Old man Zhang Ji." The world lives here. Dare to ask this little brother's surname? ”
Lu Ren respectfully replied: "In Xia Lu Ren, the name Yihao used to be an official for a period of time, but now he is just a businessman. ”
Zhang Zhongjing was naturally taken aback by this self-registration number, after all, today's Lu Ren's name is not a joke. Although Zhang Ji hates officialdom and bureaucrats, Lu Ren is not on Zhang Zhongjing's blacklist. The reason is also very simple, when Lu Ren was an official, he did some work that benefited the country and the people, and he had an excellent reputation among the people, while Zhang Zhongjing hated those corrupt bureaucrats who didn't care about the hardships of the people's lives. Lu Ren, an official who really helped the people, is naturally not the object that Zhang Zhongjing hates. Not only is he not disgusted, Zhang Zhongjing also has a respect for Lu Ren.
In this way, a few minutes later, Lu Ren and Zhang Zhongjing sat down in a small wine shop nearby, and Diao Chan sat beside Lu Ren. As for Zhao Yu, he was instructed by Lu Ren to help maintain order at the medicine stall, and it was indispensable to teach a lesson to those who wanted to be greedy. The little girl Lu Lan didn't come with her this time, because Lu Ren had some messy things for Lu Lan to do for herself.
After their respective salutes, Zhang Zhongjing asked, "Dare to ask why Lu Servant is here?" ”
Lu Ren said with a smile: "Of course, I came to visit Mr. ”
Zhang Zhongjing glanced at the medicine stall over there with a little doubt, and asked again, "Then why is Lu Servant shooting applying medicine here?" ”
Lu Ren said: "It's a welcome gift for me to Mr. ”
"A greeting gift?"
Lu Ren nodded: "I have already heard the name of Mr. when I first arrived in Jingxiang two years ago. I should have come to visit a long time ago, but I couldn't get out because of all the things. Later, I learned that Mr. lived in seclusion in his hometown and gave medicine to the people without asking for anything in return, and I was deeply respected. I also heard that my husband's family was poor. I often sigh because I can't afford to buy medicinal materials, so I get these medicinal materials here, so that my husband's heart can be a little relieved. In short, Mr. gave the doctor and administered the medicine under it. Let's complement each other. ”
Zhang Zhongjing was relieved when he heard this. If this kind of thing was put on someone else's body, Zhang Zhongjing might still worry about something, but it didn't seem to be a problem when it happened to Lu Ren. Because Lu Ren did a lot of this kind of thing when he was in the past. However, Zhang Zhongjing remembered another thing, and hesitated for a moment before saying to Lu Ren: "Lu servant, the old man has a sentence that I don't know whether to say or not." ”
"Sir, but it doesn't hurt to say that."
Zhang Zhongjing stroked his beard lightly, and his gaze at Lu Ren became a little weird: "Why did Lu Servant shoot and was given the title of 'Immortal Master'?" ”
Lu Ren was dumbfounded, this name was also obtained by chance and inexplicable. And if this matter is placed in the casual conversation with other people, Lu Ren will be somewhat complacent, but when facing Zhang Zhongjing, Lu Ren knows that it is better not to brag about this matter.
Because of the backwardness of science and technology in that era, people's ideological concepts were generally relatively ignorant, and the result was that when they were sick, they did not take medicine seriously, but believed in some witchcraft, and the bad results caused in the end can be imagined. And with Zhang Zhongjing's life experience and personality, the most disgusting thing is these things that pretend to be ghosts. So when he was so face-to-face with Lu Ren, as soon as he thought of Lu Ren's name as an "immortal master", Zhang Zhongjing felt as if a thorn was stuck in his throat.
Fortunately, Lu Ren had already done enough homework before he came, and imagined that there would be such a scene, so Lu Ren let out a wry smile and sighed lightly: "Mr. doesn't know anything, and he just knows some medical skills and some medical science." At that time, Cao Gong and Lu Bu fought in Xiapi, and there were already a lot of injured people, but it was in the spring rainy season, and typhoid fever was very prone to outbreaks.
"And then it's a little frustrating to say it. Ordinary people don't read the classics, and there are many misunderstandings, and the Qingzhou Army under Cao Gong was originally a strong person in the Yellow Turban Army bewitched by Zhang Jiao, and he believed in those gods and ghosts and witchcraft. After Zhang Jiao's death, I suddenly saw that I could help so many injured and sick patients, and under the false rumors, I inexplicably got the name of such an 'immortal master'.
"Speaking of this, I am not afraid of Mr. laughing, and I have issued a strict order on this, saying that whoever dares to call me an immortal master again, I will cut off someone's head. But sir, you should also understand, I can't really cut off their heads just because they shouted at me as an immortal master, right? I had no choice but to call them that. Alas, how else to say that it is better to defend people's mouths than to defend Sichuan? ”
After explaining this, Zhang Zhongjing was also a little relieved, after all, he really hadn't heard of Lu Ren pretending to be a ghost. Moreover, Lu Ren had compiled some common knowledge of physiology and hygiene and some relatively simple medical knowledge and promulgated them in an official way, which are now widely circulated in the Central Plains.
As a healer, Zhang Zhongjing has naturally seen these things for a long time, and he knows very well that Lu Ren made those things completely from the perspective of a healer, and he is not playing any tricks to pretend to be a ghost. Now that this layer of separation in his heart has been removed, the conversation between Zhang Zhongjing and Lu Ren has gradually become pleasant.
But said that although there were a lot of medicinal materials on the medicine stall that Lu Ren put out, there would always be a few flavors, and then Zhao Yu on the other end would take out the money, either send someone to ride a fast horse to the nearby villages and towns to find it, or simply hand it over to the people and let them go to other places to buy it by themselves, obviously he had already received Lu Ren's instructions. And although there are not many people who come to Zhang Zhongjing for medical treatment today, it is only a relative few.
After learning about it, many people rushed to ask for medicine with the prescription that Zhang Zhongjing had prescribed but could not afford to buy. After a little longer, even patients from nearby villages and towns arrived...... In short, it is really impossible to buy it, and it is okay to rush to be greedy for a small bargain if you are cheap in your bones, or even just to join in the fun, anyway, the medicine stall has become extraordinarily lively for a while.
Seeing such a situation, Zhang Zhongjing was also shocked. As a doctor, Zhang Zhongjing knows better than anyone how many medicinal materials are used up by so many patients, and how much money is equivalent to at the same time. At the beginning, when he was still the Taishou of Changsha, because he had a good luck, there was no problem with giving medicine to the doctor, but after going to the official, he had no money, and his family was poor, so he was already very reluctant to give medicine, and he wanted to give medicine but he was not enough.
What's more, when Zhang Zhongjing was the Taishou of Changsha, he conducted free medical consultations on the first and fifteenth days of the first month of each month, but unexpectedly, the pharmacy in Changsha City took advantage of this to raise the price of medicine.
In the end, Zhang Zhongjing really couldn't restrain it, so he could only prescribe those cheaper medicinal materials as much as possible when prescribing medicines, so that these people could afford them. And now that Lu Ren has come to this point, he has brought back Zhang Zhongjing's memories of being angry but helpless, and it would be strange to think that Zhang Zhongjing's personality would not be moved. At least at least, Zhang Zhongjing's favor and evaluation of Lu Ren have risen a lot.
It was rare to have such an opportunity, Zhang Zhongjing inevitably had the kind of thought of refreshing, and after simply confessing to Lu Ren, he set up a table outside the door of this wine shop to diagnose the people's illness. In this way, I was busy until the first shift, and there were still many patients in line.
Lu Ren didn't bother Zhang Zhongjing from beginning to end, just watched quietly in the wine shop. Anyway, for Lu Ren, time is there, and there is no need to rush some things in a hurry...... (To be continued.) )
PS: (The update on the 15th really didn't catch up, so everyone should take the bottle off for a day.) In fact, with the tragic situation of this book, the points that the bottle can get every month are only enough to open a leave note to rest for a day. If you take a two-day break, the perfect attendance award for that bottle flies...... Alas!! After gritting his teeth and writing this book, when the bottle opened a new book in the Xianxia category, I didn't know if anyone else wanted to read it. )
