Chapter 375 Can't afford medicine
Three days later.
"Your Majesty, it's not good! Many of the people have already contracted smallpox! The medicine hall is full! There are even many people who can't afford medicine and let the disease develop at home! ”
Listening to Li Junxian's words, His Majesty Li Er's brows furrowed deeply.
After he took the medicine according to Li Hui's prescription, his condition was temporarily relieved, although the royal family and officials are currently fine, but the people can't...
Now that smallpox has spread among the population, it will inevitably cause panic and widespread death!
He is well aware that water can carry a boat or capsize a boat, and the people are the foundation of the country.
And now that the expedition is imminent, there is a plague like smallpox, and even the army has patients, and people are panicked for a while.
His Majesty Li Er couldn't help but be worried.
"Your Majesty, do you remember Li Hui's words?" Empress Eldest Sun on the side said suddenly.
His Majesty Li Er was stunned: "He said, I don't want to be stingy with orders and money... But what does that mean? ”
"Your Majesty, the people are panicking, why do they let the disease develop at home?" Empress Eldest Sun asked rhetorically.
"One is because I think smallpox can't be cured, and the other is because I don't have any extra money to buy medicine..." His Majesty Li Er was suddenly startled, and there was joy on his face: "I understand what Li Hui meant, Guanyin, you really woke me up with a word!" ”
A smile appeared on Empress Eldest Sun's face: "I can help Your Majesty, and the concubines are also very happy." ”
"Someone!"
"In!"
"For me, I will make a decree and tell the world: the divine doctor has a prescription for smallpox, and the people do not need to panic! The imperial court will set up a place to decoction medicine, and all those who are sick can go there! His Majesty Li Er's voice was majestic.
"Yes!"
Suzaku Street.
The time-honored pharmacy Shanrentang.
"If you don't have money, what kind of disease can you cure? Poor ghost, get out! ”
A little girl was pushed out and staggered to the ground.
"Doctor, please, you took my money, save my mother!"
The little girl's face was full of tears, and she pleaded bitterly.
"What disease can be cured with this broken money? Get out of the way, don't get in the way here! ”
Inside, another shrill voice came out, and at the same time a very shabby-looking cloth bag was thrown out, and a few pennies were spilled from it...
The little girl held the cloth bag tightly in her hand, and hurriedly picked up the spilled coins one by one, because this was the only ten cents left in her family...
The little girl, named Fluttershy, has a father who dies young, and her mother does some needlework on her own, barely making ends meet.
But one day, when my mother came home, she suddenly fell ill and had many red spots on her body...
She asked her mother to see a doctor, and her mother said it was okay and that it would be fine to rest for a few days.
But after a few days, my mother's condition became more and more serious, and she couldn't even get out of bed.
Fluttershy is terrified, and looking at her mother's painful expression, she decides to go to the doctor...
However, she changed several pharmacies, and the other party all made a straight face after seeing the only ten cents in her hand...
Tears flow down Fluttershy's face, and she slowly returns home, disheartened.
"Mother... They said I was a poor ghost, and I would not come to my mother's treatment..."
Fluttershy is at her mother's bedside, her eyes red, and she cries as she talks.
"Die'er, it's okay, it's good for my mother to rest more... Butterfly, don't come in again... The plague is contagious..."
Fluttershy's mother struggles to lift her hand to wipe her tears, but she lowers it halfway through...
"Mother! I'm not afraid! You can rest assured! You'll be fine! I'll beg them again! Fluttershy gripped her mother's hand tightly, her eyes filled with determination.
"Butterfly... Don't go... They won't come because we don't have the money..."
Fluttershy's mother's voice sounds tired.
"Fluttershy! Sister Zhang! There is salvation! We're saved! ”
At this moment, a rough voice sounded, and a man pushed the door in, his face full of excitement.
"Uncle Li, what did you say?" Fluttershy is curious when she hears that her mother has been saved.
"Saved! It's really saved! Sister Zhang, your illness and my father's illness can all be cured! The man was thrilled and repeated it again.
Sister Zhang raised her head, and when she heard the man's words, she was stunned for a moment, and then said in a low voice, "Xiao Li, I know you're comforting me and Fluttershy... But there is no cure for smallpox, I know it..."
Fluttershy's tears begin to flow down her eyes at her mother's words...
"You believe me! It's a colt! The colt found a way to alleviate smallpox, and His Majesty issued an order to publish this recipe! Xiao Li said that when he said about the horse, his eyes were full of admiration.
"Pony?" Hearing that it was a colt, Sister Zhang's eyes suddenly brightened.
The horse is now a household name, for no other reason, the horse has done so many things to improve the lives of the people, pork, potatoes, how to stir-fry vegetables, newspapers, and even the Zhenguan plough and Zhenguan salt, it is said that they are all from the horse's men!
And the identity of the immortal and the divine doctor resounded throughout Chang'an, and even Princess Changle was seriously ill, and the imperial doctor was helpless, and was cured by Li Hui.
If it was someone else who found a way to alleviate smallpox, Sister Zhang might not believe it, but if it was Li Hui, Sister Zhang didn't have the slightest doubt!
Whether it is Xiao Li or other people, they all believe in Li Hui!
If you want to ask the reason, because, that is Li Hui, that's enough!
"Pony-sama... Mother, your illness can be cured! When Die'er heard Li Hui, a smile finally appeared on her crying face.
The pony has found a prescription, and my mother's illness has been saved!
Now Li Hui's status in the hearts of the people has reached an incomparable height!
"But... We don't have the money to buy medicine..."Sister Zhang suddenly remembered something, and a wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth... Even if there is a prescription... From poor families like them, it is already very difficult to survive, where can they have extra money to buy medicine?
Die'er was also stunned, looked down at the purse in her hand, tears dripping down, staining the purse...
"Oops! Your Majesty decreed that the imperial court would decoct medicine for the common people free of charge! Butterfly, you go with me! Get medicine for your mother! Xiao Li pulled the butterfly and rushed out.
Xiao Li's words kept echoing in her ears, and Sister Li couldn't come back to her senses for a long time...
And Die'er was pulled by Xiao Li, and there was only one thought in her heart: her mother was saved...
As soon as the holy decree was announced, the people of the whole city cheered, and the decoction place set up by the imperial court was even more crowded.
The only restriction is that the imperial court sends people to decoct the herbs instead of distributing them, in order to prevent people from reselling them...
