Chapter 418 Kaifeng Shanshou
Two years ago, Zhu Qizhen summoned all the vassal kings to the capital and re-entrusted the vassal areas.
This time the vestige is very different from before, because all the vassal areas are not in China, so you can take the world map and choose which piece of land you want.
Have you chosen it, right? Send some troops and horses to you, allocate some money and food, and go and fight it yourself!
If you hit it, it will be yours.
If you can't fight down... it means you are a waste and you are embarrassed to ask for a fief?
As a result, the vassal kings were eager to try, and King Ru Ning aimed at Uszang.
However, among these princes, one of them was quite special and insisted on not being a vassal.
This person is Zhu Ziye, the King of Zhou, and is the grandson of Zhu Shi, the first generation of King of Zhou. In terms of generations, Zhu Qizhen would even call him "Uncle".
The other vassal kings took their troops to expand their territory, but the King of Zhou did not choose at all.
Zhu Qizhen's original intention of this move was to let all the vassal kings go out and not stay at home and rely on their parents. Seeing that the King of Zhou was unwilling to choose a fiefdom, it was naturally unwilling to accept it.
However, the Zhou King's next proposal was shocking.
He actually voluntarily gave up his vassal in Kaifeng and asked only one, that is, the emperor needed to issue an order to allow himself to walk around at will.
Don’t look at such a simple requirement, in the Ming Dynasty, the vassal kings were strictly prohibited from leaving the vassal states.
Otherwise, the family will be confiscated and the family will be exterminated according to rebellion.
At that time, Zhu Qizhen was not sure what the Zhou king's move meant. However, seeing that the Zhou king would rather give up his vassal territory and had to walk around, was it because he was so suffocated?
It’s not true. Although your range of activities is limited to Kaifeng, Kaifeng is not small!
It’s not that you are banned, why bother?
Next, other vassal kings rushed to the distance one after another, or went directly to sea, leaving only the King of Zhou.
In desperation, Zhu Qizhen agreed to the King of Zhou's request, just to see what he sold in the gourd. However, later, he heard that the King of Zhou had traveled all over the world, and there was no news again.
This time, Wan Zhen'er took out the medical book and remembered that since Zhu Xiong, the King of Zhou's lineage had a lot of research on medical skills.
The reform of the Imperial Hospital is imperative, and I am worried that I can’t find someone to take charge of the overall situation. Now I think about it, isn’t the King of Zhou the most suitable candidate?
Three days later, Kaifeng Station.
Zhu Ji took two lieutenants off the train and headed straight to the Zhou royal palace.
After the other vassal kings went to the new fiefdom, the royal palace was withdrawn.
It will either be changed to a yamen or academy. In short, the signboard of the royal palace is gone.
To this day, only the Zhou Palace has been preserved.
Because King Zhou did not have a new fiefdom, Zhu Qizhen would not have taken over his hometown. After all, he was his uncle and he did not make any mistakes. He always had to keep a place for him to live...
Zhu Ji and others came out of the station and accidentally saw the sign of "Huimin Shi Pharmaceutical Bureau". Thinking that the emperor was vigorously rectifying the Imperial Hospital, they walked in and took a look.
If there are good doctors in this kind of folk clinic, you can recommend going to the Imperial Hospital.
However, after he came in, he found something was wrong.
In ordinary clinics, there are doctors, servants, and accountants. However, there are only a few servants here who are busy with work, but there are no doctors in the hall, and there are no accounts that collect money.
Zhu Ji felt something strange, so he grabbed a friend and asked, "Liao Jia, can I see a doctor here?"
The guy was busy getting medicine and asked, "What disease?"
"This... is not diagnosed, how do you know the disease?"
"You don't know what disease you have, how to get medicine?"
After saying that, the guy hurried to get the medicine.
At this time, the two lieutenants were a little dissatisfied and were about to step forward, but were stopped by Zhu Ji and retreated.
"Let's just ask, don't do anything randomly!"
"Yes, sir!"
Zhu Ji looked around and found something strange.
Just now, the guy brought a pair of medicine to an old man, then gave a few words of advice, and then the old man who took the medicine said thank you, and turned around and left.
From beginning to end, I didn't see the old man paying the money.
Zhu Ji was very puzzled. While the guy was drinking water, he stepped forward and asked, "Don't your clinic accept medical fees?"
The guy looked at Zhu Ji and the others and asked, "Are you from other places?"
Zhu Ji and others did not wear official uniforms, which was no different from ordinary people's dress, but they didn't know how to tell the difference between them and they were not locals.
Could it be that the accent is wrong?
However, when I was talking to the guy just now, I had already changed my local accent. Is it not standard enough?
"To be honest, we came from the capital."
"oh……"
The guy nodded and said, "I heard that your accent is local, but I don't know about Huiminshi Pharmaceutical Bureau. I guess you must have been to other places for a long time and have just returned."
"That's right, we've been doing business outside and haven't been back for two or three years."
"Two or three years...well, it's almost the same!"
The guy nodded and continued, "This Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau was established by His Royal Highness of Zhou two years ago to provide free medicine for local people to treat diseases."
"Your Highness of the King of Zhou?"
When Zhu Ji heard this, he became interested.
"I heard that His Highness of the King of Zhou voluntarily gave up his vassal state and traveled around?"
"That's right, but the emperor did not take back the vassal territory. So His Highness, King of Zhou, spent all his family's wealth and set up a pharmacy bureau in Kaifeng and various counties to provide free medical treatment for the poor. He also built a full 120 hectares of medicine fields, personally led people to plant medicinal materials, and distributed various places to need them."
When Zhu Ji heard this, he secretly admired it, but he still had a question.
"But I don't know how this Huiminshi Pharmaceutical Bureau operates, so why didn't the doctor see him attending the clinic?"
The man replied: "Your Highness has long compiled the "Pocket Prescription" and "Puji Prescription" based on various diseases. Those who come only need to say what their disease is, and we will just take the medicine according to the prescriptions recorded in the book."
Zhu Ji suddenly realized and asked, "That's all?"
"certainly!"
The guy looked a little proud and said, "Most of them are cured by medicine. If you encounter some serious diseases or complicated diseases, you must send them to the clinic and find a doctor to treat them."
Zhu Ji asked again: "How many Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureaus are there in Kaifeng?"
"Including each county, there are more than a dozen, and I don't know very well."
"Your Highness of the King of Zhou is really kind and righteous!"
Seeing Zhu Ji say this, the guy said, "That's natural. Your Highness is known as the Kaifeng Good Head!"
Zhu Ji nodded and said, "Kaifeng Shanshou, I deserve my name!"
When the guy saw this person asking, he said, "What kind of disease is yours? Just tell me and I'll get medicine for you."
Zhu Ji smiled faintly and said, "I am in good health. I have heard of the name of His Highness the King of Zhou for a long time. I wonder if I have the honor to meet him?"
"You want to see His Highness, King Zhou?"
"right!"
"It's probably difficult."
“Why?”
"Your Highness is not in Kaifeng."
"Is that right? Where did you go?"
The guy shook his head and said, "I don't know this!"
