Chapter 20 Wei Lao San
"White Lotus Sect?"
In the Qian Mansion Garden, Gu Huai sat across from the chessboard and picked up a chess piece, with a strange look on his face: "Why did such a thing come out..."
The plague has been resolved, and Mr. Qian's demeanor has become much more relaxed recently. He picked up the teacup calmly and said: "You haven't heard of it?"
"Of course I've heard of it... I just didn't expect to actually encounter it."
"It has lasted for many dynasties. When Daqian was founded, the respect for Buddha was naturally suppressed. After all, the White Lotus teachings are closer to Taoism, and the practice of opening altars of the Heavenly Master and the Virgin... But you also know that at most, it is left in a remote place. The land is half dead, and it is not easy to eradicate it completely. Jiangning Prefect must have thought of this, so he did not go to war among the refugees, but he did not expect that such believers would be so bold as to use the plague to preach."
Gu Huai nodded: "The plague hasn't ended yet, so the main focus is on disaster relief. There was a big fuss a few days ago, so it's natural that we won't be able to raise the knife again soon, but it's not certain whether we will settle accounts in the future."
Mr. Qian's expression was quite agreeable. He looked at Gu Huai intently for a long time and suddenly smiled: "This time... I'm afraid you made a lot of money?"
Gu Huai was stunned for a moment, and then became a little shy: "I have earned some hard-earned money, but it is definitely not enough to do something. I have been thinking about ways to make money make money recently... Mr. Qian is not talking about me. Full of copper odor?"
"After saving so many lives, where did the smell of copper come from?" Mr. Qian couldn't help but laugh. "But I haven't seen you show up very much from the beginning to the end. Where did the word 'hard work' come from? And I only woke up recently." , I have obviously made up my mind to quit treating patients, and have devoted myself to writing books, but in the end, I have to go to your doctor's office every now and then? You have clearly tricked me into becoming a doctor in your hospital. "
"Mr. Qian has a lot of medical skills, so wouldn't it be a pity to retire like this? But having said that, I don't seem to have seen Brother Li these days."
"I came to say goodbye yesterday. I transferred half a level to the capital. I tried to persuade you for a while, but I still couldn't persuade you to come back."
Gu Huai knew clearly in his heart that Li Di was sent away before the disaster relief work was completed. Most of Li Di's political achievements this time were plundered by others, and they were just transferred to the capital to silence him... But this matter had nothing to do with him. It didn't matter much, so I didn't ask further.
Mr. Qian thought for a while and asked the question that he had been unable to figure out for the past two days: "Since 'penicillin' has been tried to treat sword wounds and is now quite familiar in its production, why haven't you informed the world yet?" "
The question was relatively reserved, probably because he thought Gu Huai had a hoarding mentality. Gu Huai was just slightly startled and understood what Qian Lao was worried about:
"There's no need...it's unrealistic to make money by pointing to this. You can't label it as a medicine for treating sores and let people sell it on the street. If you insist on waiting for a war or epidemic to make the country hard to make money, you might be cut off at some point. Leeks, it’s better to just publish the prescription and earn some reputation... Well, just use the name of the medical shop and the money bosses."
Mr. Qian was stunned. Even though he had anticipated all the actions that Gu Huai might make, he couldn't help but admire such a noble man who gave up thousands of wealth: "In this way, it will really benefit the world... But if you use In the name of me and all my friends, will it steal the limelight of the medical shop?"
Gu Huai smiled implicitly and waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no, that's good."
The chess pieces continued to fall, and they chatted about things in the medical shop. Seeing that it was almost afternoon, Gu Huai looked away from the chessboard and stood up:
"There are still some things that need to be done, so I can only go down here today...but I was reminded just now that there are some rich people here, and there are some things that I can try."
"for example?"
"How about trying to cure smallpox?"
Mr. Qian's hand stroking his beard stopped, and the look he often had when talking to Gu Huai, who felt that most of his life had been in vain, appeared on his face again:
"smallpox?"
…
From Pingjiang Mansion back to Jiangning, the fastest way is to take the official road at the foot of Qixia Mountain. When you can see the unique and beautiful peaks of Qixia Mountain from a distance, it proves that Jiangning is not far away.
The gold-woven brocade sleeves fell slightly as the curtain was lifted, revealing her snow-white wrists. Li Mingzhu, who had read a volume of military literature, looked at Qixia Mountain with a somewhat lonely look in her eyes.
These more than half a month have been wasted... So many old ministers of the Wei Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River will show the same expression when they see her. Some officials who dare not let her finish her words will even hold a banquet with great fanfare.
People from such a big family gathered around and blocked everything she wanted to say - or was this also an action to show loyalty to the capital? The princess from the previous dynasty came to visit her old ministers, and if it was a family banquet, it was another
Something's happened.
I don’t know if the old man he went to visit at the beginning spoke too directly to people’s hearts. These days, Li Mingzhu always feels that her inner fatigue is much deeper. There are some things that can’t be stopped after they start, but the most desperate thing is walking on the road.
It seems to be the end halfway through.
Sighing softly, he prepared to put down the curtain with his slender hands, but accidentally caught a glimpse of the endless crowds of people on the official road in the distance. The plague outside Jiangning City had become serious before leaving, and I didn't go to Jiangning these days.
Someone was seen on the official road, so it was really strange for such a large group of people to suddenly appear.
The armored knight at the front of the motorcade stopped, and the sweaty palace man ran over and told the situation that Yang Wu led the people to ask. Before he could say a few words, Li Mingzhu's face was always indifferent after leaving Jiangning.
There were also some strange expressions on his face:
"What?"
The palace attendant repeated: "Your Highness, those people are refugees from outside Jiangning City and went to Qixia Mountain. They said... that they wanted to build a shrine and erect an inscription for Your Highness."
This time she left Jiangning for more than half a month, but Li Mingzhu was not worried about what happened to Jiangning and she didn't know about it while traveling. The reason was that a secret letter was sent to her desk every day, but those secret letters were all
There was no explanation of what was going on in the situation at hand.
After a long silence, she spoke: "It's impossible for everyone to be hysterical... Did they say the reason?"
A look of disbelief appeared on the faces of the palace people: "They said that His Highness is a living Bodhisattva who walks around the world to save the suffering. Some also said that His Highness is the incarnation of the Virgin Mother who cured the plague outside Jiangning City... Commander Yang said that he was afraid of those refugees.
If I bump into His Highness, I won’t bring him closer to ask questions.”
"Anything else?"
"Also," the palace man swallowed, "they are still carrying the statue... Commander Yang asked the slave to come over and ask His Highness, do you want to go over and have a look or go back to Jiangning directly?"
The statue... sounded more and more outrageous. Li Mingzhu was silent for a moment, raised the car curtain, and looked at the bustling crowd in the distance. At a glance, he saw the particularly eye-catching huge statue among the ragged crowd.
What is engraved is her face.
