Chapter 19: Eating and drinking
We should also obey the emperor's order and rush to Fengyang.
Yesheer was a Tatar. After entering the palace as a eunuch, he was trusted by Zhu Yuanzhang because of his caution, so he was appointed to an important position in the Imperial Household Department.
Of course, the Silijian at that time was not as prominent as it was later. The reason why the Silijian later held a high position and power was because the emperor was unwilling to deal with complicated memorials and delegated the power of approving and writing to the eunuchs of the Silijian.
Nowadays, Ye Gaier is just assisting the emperor in handling some affairs of the inner palace and managing the eunuchs.
But even so, it is enough to show his status in Zhu Yuanzhang's mind.
Because of this, Ye Gaier was also very clear that His Majesty ordered him to go to Fengyang in the hope that he could use him as an eye and ear to fully understand the true situation of Prince Jin and Deng Qianqiu.
The Prince of Jin is your Majesty's third legitimate son, so it's understandable that your Majesty values him, but that Deng Qianqiu...
No matter who Deng Qianqiu is, the most urgent thing is to report everything he saw and heard in Fengyang.
Therefore, after handing over the affairs of the Imperial Household Department, he set off quickly and headed straight to Fengyang.
He first arrived at the Fengyang Imperial City and inquired with the eunuchs who stayed behind, only to find out that His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin had already moved out of the palace.
After a little inquiry, I found out that he had settled in Dongcheng.
After finding out some information, I learned that the King of Qin had gone to a farm somewhere to make a living and actually went to farm the land.
As for the situation of King Jin, the person being asked remained tight-lipped.
Although Ye Gaier was confused, he set off immediately and headed for East City without stopping.
Following the location pointed out by the eunuch in the imperial city, Ye Gaier finally arrived at his destination.
This is a shop along the street, and at this moment, one of the shops is particularly awake, with colorful flags fluttering, which is particularly eye-catching.
But I saw a plaque hanging in the shop with the words "Jishi Tang" written on it.
I should be a little confused.
Just at this moment, a young man came out from inside with a majestic look.
This young man was none other than the Prince of Jin, Zhu Gang.
When Zhu Gang saw Ye Gaier, he was stunned at first, and then he ran away as if he had lost his soul.
You have to know that Ye Gaier was the eunuch beside Zhu Yuanzhang. Wherever His Majesty went, Ye Gaier would serve there. So when Zhu Gang saw Ye Gaier, it was as if he had seen Zhu Yuanzhang in person.
Ye Ke'er reacted quickly. Before Zhu Gang ran away, she hurried forward and bowed, saying, "Your Highness, I have found you."
Zhu Gang subconsciously looked around, but did not see Zhu Yuanzhang. He then calmed down a little, then smiled and said, "Haha, why are you here?"
"I am here to visit Your Highness by order."
"My father... No, where is my royal father?"
"Your Majesty is in the palace."
Zhu Gang breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out that the emperor was far away and the mountains were high. He suddenly felt that his back was straighter.
So he said proudly: "My father is really a jerk. He doesn't let me live a good life. He wants me to be self-reliant, no, to make a living on my own, but he also asks people to keep an eye on me. Why, I am so unreliable? Well, I won't argue with him."
Ye Gaier lowered his head, automatically filtering out these words, but said with a smile: "Your Highness, what are you doing..."
"Make a living, earn money..."
"This...is this a hospital?"
"Yeah, what's the problem?"
"Your Highness can also treat illnesses?"
Zhu Gang immediately looked proud, and said with his arms crossed: "This prince and Qianqiu have brought back the dead with their magic hands. If you don't believe me, just see for yourself."
Ye Gai'er was full of suspicion, and followed Zhu Gang carefully into the clinic. Once inside, he saw a scroll with words posted on the walls on both sides, which read: "Healing the world with medicine, bringing people back to health with his miraculous hands."
There is also a scroll with the words: "A gynecological expert, saving the world."
When Ye Gaier saw the word "gynecology", she felt her anus tighten. Then she tried to look carefully, but saw that there was a signature under the words, which was the words "Hu Jianti".
Hu Jian...
You might think this name is familiar.
But he couldn't remember it for a moment. "Your Highness..." Yegaier whispered, "This... this is..."
"This was given by fellow patients. It's not worth mentioning."
Ye Gaier's face was full of suspicion, but when Zhu Gang's eyes fell on him, he immediately put away his suspicion and smiled awkwardly.
At this time, I saw someone seeing a doctor here.
The patient who was seeing the patient was actually also a teenager!
The young man sat upright, waiting for a man to come for a consultation, but he did not feel the man's pulse, only touched his forehead, asked the man to open his mouth, looked at the coating on his tongue, and then quickly wrote a list, tore off a piece of paper, threw it to the man, and said, "Drink more hot water, next one."
Another person came forward, and the young man followed suit. This time he didn't even write a prescription, but just said casually: "Drink more hot water, next one..."
The third……
Ye Gaier: “…”
Ye Gai'er was shocked, dumbfounded, and couldn't recover for a long time: "This... this is also called treatment?"
Zhu Gang glared at him and said angrily, "Just tell me whether it can be cured or not."
Ye Gaier said subconsciously: "It was cured..."
"Is it cured quickly?"
"It's very fast, but..."
"That's it." Zhu Gang looked like he had mastered the wisdom, and continued, "According to my in-depth investigation, the speed of treating illnesses in Jishiditang is 17 times faster than that of ordinary medical clinics. Don't you think it's amazing?"
"Cough cough cough..." Ye Ge'er coughed desperately.
Zhu Gang said: "Why, you are sick too, isn't that a coincidence? It is better to arrive at the right time than to arrive early..."
“No, no, no.” Ye Gaier hurriedly returned to normal and said softly, “Your Highness, I am very fine. Very fine.”
Zhu Gang showed a look of regret: "What a pity, otherwise it would be a good opportunity for me and Qianqiu to show off our skills."
He didn't dare to say anything more and just stood in the clinic without saying a word.
There are quite a few patients here, of course, most of them are poor people in rags.
However, every now and then, one or two old ladies would come in carrying a wooden box, with happy looks on their faces, and they would shout, "Mother and child are safe." or "Mother and daughter are safe."
When Zhu Gang heard this, he became very excited and immediately leaned over the table to start counting.
All of these old ladies were recruited specifically to deliver babies. In this era, giving birth for a woman was like walking through the gates of hell, and the survival rate was touching.
Not to mention ordinary people, even in the palace, for concubines giving birth to children was a life-threatening matter.
But these old ladies were almost all safe when they came in, which was really puzzling.
Deng Qianqiu, who was sitting at the consultation table, looked like an old monk.
The reason why I entered the medical field was that I had no choice. Since I had to make a living, I couldn't follow the example of the King of Qin and really farm the land.
As for medical skills, he was only a half-baked one. It was just that in his previous life, because his grandfather was a barefoot doctor, he had nothing to do since he was a child, so he read a book called "The Barefoot Doctor's Guide".
In fact, in this era, most diseases are caused by poor hygiene conditions, and 90% of diseases can actually be solved by enhancing immunity.
So… a lot of times, drinking hot water might actually help.
As for the so-called gynecology, standardizing midwifery, ensuring sanitary conditions and reducing infections can reduce more than 90% of fertility problems.
With these, Deng Qianqiu is not bragging, he can cure more than 95% of the diseases in the world, which is enough to ensure that the disease is cured.
These old ladies all came to report good news, and they actually all used Deng Qianqiu's method of midwifery. He gathered the old ladies together, gave them simple training, and then distributed midwifery tools and medicines to them.
The so-called tools were nothing more than forceps, and the medicine was the alcohol that he and Zhu Gang had brewed together.
That’s right, with the presence of alcohol, the survival rate of fertility problems can almost be directly increased by 99%. There are many cases in this regard in later generations.
It was getting dark, and the clinic was gradually becoming deserted.
Deng Qianqiu washed his hands, only to see a stranger next to Zhu Gang.
