Chapter 490: Uninvited
readx;
After listening to Ma Zhou's agitation, and listening to the people below talking about it, they didn't say anything in front of them, so they didn't get up and make a statement. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info Zhen Quan's life was saved by Zuo Shaoyang, he was very grateful, drank a few glasses of wine, his head was a little hot, plus his Zhen family has been practicing medicine in the capital for decades, and he has accumulated a lot of family property, I heard that Du Yan is now the honorary president, and he doesn't want to lose to him, so he discussed with his younger brother Zhen Liyan at the moment, and then got up and said: "The old man donated 12,000 acres of fertile land!" ”
At that time, the price of land had risen to eight guan per mu, and the value of this 12,000 mu of fertile land was nearly 100,000 guan!
As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar in the audience, and they couldn't imagine that Zhen Quan would make such a big move.
Ma Zhou was even more happy, and had already prepared a list of donations, hurriedly held it in his hand, and asked Zhen Quan to write down his name and pledge amount on the spot. After the banquet, I will go to handle the specific donation.
Zhen Liyan did not receive direct help from Zuo Shaoyang, but he was still very grateful to Zuo Shaoyang for saving his brother. At the same time, the emperor pardoned the guilt of the two, and now the emperor has donated to the barefoot foundation, if he does not express it, it seems that he has failed the emperor's grace. So he also stood up and said loudly: "The old man also donated ......, this, 5,000 acres of fertile land!" ”
He is not as good as Zhen Quan, he has always been an official in the court, and he is less than Zhen Quan in foreign medicine, and he is just a medical officer, and he naturally earns less money than Zhen Quan, so he is not as good as him, but these 5,000 acres of fertile land are also a considerable amount. It caused a burst of amazement from everyone.
With the two of them at the beginning, the others will naturally follow, and then, you have 1,000 acres and I have 500 acres, all clamoring to donate.
Zuo Shaoyang and the others smiled, however, Du Yan's smile looked a little fake, obviously, the result of this donation by everyone was somewhat unexpected to him, he originally hoped that he was the only donor of the foundation, but he didn't expect that there are so many more people now, roughly calculated, the emperor plus the fertile land donated by everyone adds up to almost 100,000 mu.
Ma Zhou is in charge of these specific things, and at this moment Zuo Shaoyang knows that this Ma Zhou is not a nerd, but has the ability to deal with various complex situations, and is also very sociable. Constant toasting, then drinking, and signing of every donation.
Zuo Shaoyang was determined in his heart, with the help of Ma Zhou, the future prime minister, what else could not be done?
Father-in-law Luo came to announce the decree, so he sat at the top of the table, and Zuo Shaoyang and Du Yan, the two presidents and honorary presidents, spoke with each other.
Father-in-law Luo drank a few glasses of wine, smiled and said to Zuo Shaoyang: "President Zuo, do you know why the emperor wants to canonize you and Master Du at the same time?" ”
Zuo Shaoyang chuckled in his heart, he was still thinking about this matter just now, and from the words of Father-in-law Luo, it really had another deep meaning, and he hurriedly bowed down and said with a smile: "The emperor's holy will, I dare not speculate on my own position." ”
Father-in-law Luo looked sideways at Du Yan again: "Does Lord Du know?" ”
Du Yan looked frightened, and bowed and said: "The emperor is very kind to Weichen and Lord Zuo, and a few days ago, Weichen and Lord Zuo had some misunderstandings, which caused some unpleasantness, I am afraid that the emperor still knows, this time the same decree canonization, presumably the emperor wants to use this method to make Weichen and Lord Zuo reconcile." ”
Father-in-law Luo nodded frequently: "Exactly!" The emperor learned that the two adults had a conflict, and he was very worried, and said, Lord Du, as a doctor of imperial history, is upright, and the more than 40 people recommended this time are all elite people, and the emperor is very pleased after reading it, and has been reused. Although Lord Du is infected with a small illness, it is already good to have a divine doctor like Lord Zuo to heal, and he is the person who Jiangshan Sheji relies on, and Lord Zuo's medical skills are not inferior to the senior brother Sun Simiao's old miracle doctor, especially this time to treat Zhen Quan's injuries, open his chest and sew his lungs, such a miracle skill, except for the Three Kingdoms Huatuo Divine Doctor can have this ability, who else can there be? When the emperor heard this, he was deeply gratified that my Datang had a magic skill. This time, Lord Du contributed money, Lord Zuo contributed to the establishment of this 'barefoot foundation', for the working people to send medicine to the hospital, it is really a rare act of kindness, the emperor to the two regardless of the past suspicions, once again hand in hand is deeply gratified, so, the royal pen personally inscribed this plaque, so that the two adults from now on hand in hand, for the prosperity of my Tang Dynasty each to contribute their own strength. ”
Du Yan hurriedly bowed and saluted: "Yes, Weichen remembers the emperor's teachings. ”
Father-in-law Luo looked at Zuo Shaoyang, and Zuo Shaoyang had no choice but to clench his fists and say, "Weichen remembers." ”
"Excellent! Come, the two of you toast each other, whether it is a misunderstanding in the past, or a grudge, they are all written off, from now on, the two presidents will work together to share weal and woe! ”
Du Yan hurriedly agreed, picked up the cup, and said to Zuo Shaoyang: "The emperor's teachings, the two of us are engraved in our hearts, come, Lord Zuo, I will give you a cup!" ”
Zuo Shaoyang didn't want to serve this glass of wine, but he didn't have the courage not to give the emperor face. Then he also took up the cup, and did not speak, but dried the wine in a muffled gulp.
Du Yan also drank the wine.
Father-in-law Luo grabbed the wrists of the two of them one by one, and laughed: "That's right, let's go back, so that we can give the emperor an explanation." Hahaha"
At this time, Xu Yinzong, Peng Bing, Old Lady Qu, Qiao Guan and other officials, as well as Sun Simiao, Zhen Quan, Zhen Liyan and several old doctors, as well as Qu Ming and other Jinshi, came over in turn to toast Du Yan and Zuo Shaoyang to congratulate.
After Peng Bing toasted Zuo Shaoyang, he took his hand and was very happy: "Brother, you resigned last time, my brother felt that it was a pity, but if you resigned from the sesame petty official under the nine grades, you will resign, now, okay, the emperor will give you an official, the last official was your own test, you can resign if you want to, this time, but the emperor rewarded it, if you want to resign, I am afraid that I will have to weigh it in my stomach." Hahaha"
Master Qiao and Qiao Guan's father and son came over to toast, last time Zuo Shaoyang resigned, Master Qiao was very unhappy, when he married his daughter to him, he took a fancy to his official, and he couldn't think of resigning without saying a word, and he was so angry that he didn't want to see them. Now it's okay, the emperor rewards officials, and he is an official from the fifth grade, which Master Qiao never dreamed of. The ancestor of the Qiao family, whom Master Qiao has always been proud of, has only done a different drive from the fifth grade in the Sui Dynasty. Zuo Shaoyang became an official from the fifth grade at a young age, although he is only a loose official, but he definitely has a bright future.
Think about it back then, the ancestors didn't get the emperor's autographed inscription, Zuo Shaoyang became the president of a foundation of hundreds of thousands of yuan, and the emperor also rewarded the autographed inscription. How could this kind of glory be had by our ancestors?
Therefore, when Master Qiao came over, he had a smile on his face, nodded and toasted Zuo Shaoyang.
Zhen Quan has become the honorary president of the foundation because of the donation of 10,000 acres, and Zhen Liyan has donated 5,000 acres and has become an honorary member. That is, they are all Foundation people. However, Zhen Quan and Zhen Liyan toasted Zuo Shaoyang with laughter on their faces, and they toasted Du Yan, but they didn't even smirk. Du Yan didn't care at all, as if he had nothing to do with the two of them, but warmly raised his glass in return.
In the midst of this truth and falsehood, this banquet was very enjoyable, Zuo Shaoyang and Du Yan, the president, became the main targets of everyone's toast, Zuo Shaoyang's medical skills had already shocked the entire capital, and now he is the president of the Hundreds of Thousands of Liangtian Foundation. Moreover, what shocked everyone the most was that the emperor decreed that he should be canonized as a doctor from the five grades. Zuo Shaoyang, the president, and Du Yan, the honorary president, are both court officials, and there are donations from the emperor of 40,000 acres of land in this foundation, plus the donations of many officials, so this barefoot foundation has actually become a semi-official institution.
When Zuo Shaoyang replied to Xu Yinzong, Sun Simiao and the Zhen brothers, the four old miracle doctors, he gave them a suggestion, whether they could take a few days out every month to provide free clinics in the barefoot medical center, treat the poor people, and expand the reputation of the medical center.
The four old doctors are all noble medical people, so there is no reason to disagree with such a request. Immediately agreed, and after discussion, it was decided on the spot that in the future, every fifth day of each month (the fifth day, the fifteenth, and the twenty-fifth day of each month), the four of them went to several barefoot medical centers in the capital for free treatment.
The wine was drunk, and the attendant who greeted the guests outside the main hall hurriedly ran in and reported to Zuo Shaoyangyu: "President Zuo, Prime Minister Du Ruhui Du is here!" ”
Zuo Shaoyang was taken aback, this time he sent an invitation, he didn't invite Du Ruhui, the reason is very simple, Du Ruhui is suffering from tuberculosis, that is, tuberculosis, which is an infectious disease, and it is not suitable for crowded occasions like gatherings. Unexpectedly, Du Ruhui came uninvited. Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly took Ma Zhou out.
Du Ruhui was still sitting on a soft couch and was carried by the servants. Although the people of the Tang Dynasty knew the infectious surname of tuberculosis, tuberculosis was not an acute infectious disease like plague, but a slow infectious disease, which would develop for a long time after infection, so people did not know that they had been infected, so they lacked sufficient understanding of the infection mode of tuberculosis, and believed that tuberculosis was transmitted through corpses after death, and it was not contagious between people, so they called tuberculosis "corpse injection" or "corpse". It is precisely because of this that Du Ruhui did not know that his illness would infect others, so he sat on a soft couch to attend this party.
Zuo Shaoyang bowed and saluted: "Prime Minister Du!" ”
Du Ruhui smiled and nodded: "President Zuo, I came uninvited, it's a little abrupt, but I must come to see such a grand event." ”
"Thank you!" Zuo Shaoyang invited Du Ruhui to the chairman, he is currently the highest position among the high-ranking officials here, and in fact, he is also a top high-ranking official above 10,000 people under one person in the court. Naturally, he sat the chief.
After Du Ruhui and Grandpa Luo waited for the ceremony, they poured a glass of wine and said to Zuo Shaoyang: "Zuo Gongzi, I am not feeling well, I will not drink other wine, I will only give you three glasses." - This first cup, congratulations on the establishment of your foundation, this is a great good deed for the benefit of the people, I hope you can do it well! Let more poor people get medical assistance! ”
Zuo Shaoyang thanked him and drank all the wine in the cup.
