Chapter 496: Go where you need it most
readx;
Zuo Shaoyang received the start-up capital and the relevant procedures for the emperor's reward field in Suzhou from the main hall, and he was about to set off. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Because this time I went on a business trip, and I came back on the right track after the start, without my wife Qiao Qiaoer. Miao Peilan had to take care of the newly opened medicine garden at home, and she couldn't be separated, so she was accompanied only by the slave Bai Zhihan.
However, Sun Simiao plans to take a few apprentices to follow Zuo Shaoyang to Suzhou, and what he wants now is to follow Zuo Shaoyang and watch him practice medicine, so as to learn some advanced medical technology.
Zuo Shaoyang naturally couldn't refuse, and after discussing with Sun Simiao, he selected five apprentices from his apprentices, Shoutongzi, as the shopkeeper of the Suzhou Medical Center. This man is a skilled doctor, and he is also good at handling all aspects of affairs, and he is a treasurer.
A group of apprentices and grandsons all wanted to follow, but Sun Simiao was naturally inconvenient to take them all, so he only brought his second son's apprentice Zhen Yuanzi to follow. This Zhenyuanzi is in his forties, he is an old man, he is smart, he is good at dealing with all kinds of people, and he can help deal with some mundane things such as staying in a restaurant on the way.
Zuo Shaoyang took Bai Zhihan, Sun Simiao took his apprentices Shoutongzi and apprentice Sun Zhenyuanzi, a group of five, set off in four cars, one of which was loaded with luggage. Zuo Shaoyang and Bai Zhihan sat in a car.
I didn't say anything all the way, and after a while, I came to Suzhou, Jiangnan.
Zuo Shaoyang and Sun Simiao went to the Yamen to go through the procedures for the transfer of land and property, because there was the emperor's decree, the household department had already issued an official document to notify the Suzhou Yamen, so the procedures went very smoothly.
Although Zuo Shaoyang is only a loose official, in the end, he donated land from the officials of the fifth grade, especially the emperor, and this face still has to be given. So that night, Suzhou Thorn Shi set up a banquet to entertain Zuo Shaoyang and Sun Simiao, and let the famous wealthy businessmen and celebrities in the city accompany him.
At the banquet, Thorn Shi first delivered an enthusiastic speech, and then let Zuo Shaoyang make a speech, and then, the celebrities and squires came up to toast, and the horses were clapped loudly.
Only the priest in charge of the household toasted without saying a word, but drank the wine, and sat down sullenly.
Zuo Shaoyang was very strange, and went over to toast with a wine glass, but Sihu only drank it shallowly, and didn't say much. Zuo Shaoyang felt more and more strange, and took advantage of the fact that the celebrities and gentry began to toast Lord Thorn Shi and toast each other, Zuo Shaoyang toasted him again with a wine glass, and then sat next to him and asked in a low voice: "Lord Sihu, I see that you are sullen, do you have a different opinion on our barefoot medical hall?" ”
The Sihu hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Where, such a method to benefit the people, how can the old man have an opinion?" It's just that Suzhou is the land of fish and rice, and there are many rich people, and there are few poor people. ”
Zuo Shaoyang frowned, this Sihu is specialized in managing disaster relief and helping the people, which is equivalent to the current director of the Civil Affairs Bureau, he knows the number of poor families in the whole state best, and he is not lying when he says this now.
Suzhou was the land of fish and rice at that time, and even in a catastrophic year, they could be rich. Moreover, there are a lot of people in this area who do business and make a lot of money, so relatively speaking, there are indeed very few poor people in the local family who can't even pay for medicine. This is well witnessed by what they saw and heard after they entered the city.
Zuo Shaoyang said: "I have already felt this, but the field rewarded by the emperor is in Suzhou, we don't open it here, but where do we open it?" ”
"Good steel should be used on the blade, and your medical hall is not to make money, but to treat the poor people, so the medical center should be opened where the poor people need it, not next to the fields. The food produced in the fields can be sold and used for money to help those who really need it. The emperor only gave you the land, and did not ask you where to open a medical center, so you can decide where to open it. ”
Zuo Shaoyang listened to it and nodded frequently: "This statement is reasonable, in the opinion of adults, where is it appropriate?" ”
"It's hard for me to say specifically, because the whole of Jiangnan is better than other places, and it is generally like this, even if there are poor people, the number is relatively small, and the degree of poverty is lighter. In mountainous areas, poverty levels are significantly higher. I have been engaged in disaster relief for more than 10 years, and I still feel this way. ”
"Mountains? Our hometown of Hezhou is a mountainous area, and there are many poor people, but we have decided to let other people go there.
"The world is so big, is it only Hezhou that there are mountains?"
Zuo Shaoyang got up and bowed: "Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years!" Thanks a lot! ”
The sound was so loud that everyone in the audience looked at it together. Thorn Shi smiled and asked what was going on, Zuo Shaoyang said Si Hu's words, Thorn Shi nodded and said: "This is not bad, to be honest, the president wants to put the barefoot medical hall in Suzhou, which is a good thing for the poor people of Suzhou, but, in comparison, the whole country needs this more than Suzhou." It is indeed more meaningful for the president to open such a medical center in a poor mountainous area than to open it in our southern part of the Yangtze River. ”
In fact, this point is seen in this way by these rich businessmen and celebrities, but it is inconvenient to say it, and now that Lord Assassin Shi has said it, he naturally agrees with it again and again.
Zuo Shaoyang looked at Sun Simiao, and when he saw that he was also nodding frequently, he said: "Lord Thorn Shi's suggestion is very good, but since the emperor donated the fields in Suzhou to our foundation, then this barefoot medical hall should be located near Suzhou, so that it can be regarded as taken from the people for the people." The wool comes out of the sheep. We are not familiar with the situation in the neighborhood, so please help us with ideas. ”
Next, a group of people helped to come up with ideas and began to talk about it.
Thorn Shi said: "Suzhou is the land of fish and rice, compared with other states and counties, it is a rich land, but there are also many states and counties in this province, and the people are very poor, such as Quzhou in the southwest of this province, the whole territory is almost a stretch of mountains, and there are countless people who are thousands of feet high. Where the people live a very hard life, there are many people who do not cover their bodies. The people lack medical treatment, and if President Zuo can open the barefoot medical hall anywhere, it must be a blessing for the people. ”
Suzhou is the seat of Jiangnan Dongdao, and Quzhou belongs to a remote prefecture under its jurisdiction, and the proposal of Thorn Shi is also in line with his original intention, opening such a medical center in Suzhou is just the icing on the cake, but if it is opened in a state and county like Quzhou in a poor mountainous area, it will be a relief in the snow. If he does a good job, it is also a political achievement of his own, of course he is willing to Zuo Shaoyang and them to help him with this face project.
Zuo Shaoyang immediately asked about some of the situation in Quzhou, and it was really very poor, and Sun Simiao had never been there. As soon as the two discussed, they both felt that this was good, Zuo Shaoyang said: "Since this is the case, then we will go to Quzhou to open a medical center." In the future, I will raise more money and open all the places where medical treatment is needed most, and then open a barefoot clinic in Suzhou. ”
Everyone said in unison, Assassin Shi saw that Zuo Shaoyang adopted his own opinion, he was very happy, he said today that the rich businessmen and gentry who accompanied him are all wealthy, since Huang Yanjing donated, they naturally want to express it, not to mention that this medical hall is now opened in the poorest area of the Assassin History's governance territory, in fact, it is also helping himself to establish political achievements, so Assassin Shi encouraged the rich businessmen present to actively donate money, these are also the most famous tycoons in Suzhou, and they are generous at the moment and raised tens of thousands of fertile land, And they are all as close to the direction of Quzhou as possible, so that it is more convenient to transport the grain to Quzhou when the time comes, and if there is a famine in Quzhou, these fields can also be used to help the victims.
Although Suzhou is very beautiful, Zuo Shaoyang did not come to visit the mountains and rivers this time, so he took a short rest and set off the next day to Quzhou.
All the way to the southwest, gradually farther and farther away, the prosperous scene said to stop, walked a few times, everywhere you looked, the people were poorly dressed, and people who could not eat abounded. After a few more days, we have reached the mountain.
At the beginning, this mountain was only a hill with a small hill, but later, it has become a continuous mountain, towering into the clouds, and when you go up and down the mountain, you often can't get out of a big mountain.
The road is rainy and rainy, sometimes torrential rain pours, and flash floods can be seen everywhere on the post road, so you can only get out of the car and walk the road over.
This time, I was finally going to Quzhou, and I asked passers-by, and there was still half a way to Quzhou. It was rainy and rainy, and it made people upset and irritable. During the journey, I saw a roadside village, bending clear water, if it feints, verdant green bamboo, hidden in the rain, fog and clouds. From time to time, you can hear one or two rooster crowings, which makes the mountain city even quieter.
Seeing that the rain was getting heavier and heavier, everyone felt hungry, especially when they saw such a quiet town, where could they still move their feet, so they stopped to eat.
As soon as they entered the inn, a shopkeeper nodded and ran over, looked up and down the costumes of several people, and said with a smile: "Dare to ask how many people are from the capital?" ”
"That's right!" Qing Wuzi, who was in charge of sharpening, said coldly: "If you don't come from the capital, you can't eat and drink?" ”
"No, no, no!" The shopkeeper was busy laughing, looked at Zuo Shaoyang and Sun Simiao again, and dared to ask Sun Simiao and Zuo Shaoyang again: "Dare to ask this old lady, is it named 'Sun Simiao' Sun Lao Divine Doctor, is this eldest brother the Imperial Court Doctor Zuo Shaoyang Zuo?" ”
Sun Simiao and Zuo Shaoyang were both shocked, since the other party had already revealed the whereabouts of the two, there must be something strange in them. Kiyogoko sneered, "What are you asking these for?" Anyway, who asked you to ask? ”
The shopkeeper glanced back with a smile on his face, and said tremblingly: "......Yes, this ......, a Taoist master and two Taoist aunts explained ......."
Dao Ye, Dao Gu? Sun Simiao frowned, immediately reflected, and said loudly: "Is it Shoujingzi or Qingmiaozi?" Who the hell is doing here? Don't come out yet! ”
I heard a giggle on the stairs of the inn behind me, and three people, a man and two women, both young, walked quickly downstairs and came to everyone. Bow down to Sun Simiao and Zuo Shaoyang to salute: "Taishi Ancestor, Taishi Uncle Zu!" ”
