Chapter 603
So the couple stood up, but everyone around them knelt down.

Emperor Chongzhen ignored the others, and asked the man concerned, "Is there no money to see a doctor?"

At the beginning, he remembered very clearly that all the food that his family saved from food and frugality was donated to the imperial court to fight Jianlu.It's not a loan, it's really a donation.At that time, he knew that the family was not rich.

This man was very excited. God was so kind to him that he once again met the current emperor who loves his people like his own son!

After hearing the emperor's question and thinking of his son's condition, he nodded quickly and said, "My son's condition has been bad, and the family can no longer afford any money for medical treatment."

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen reached out and touched the child's forehead. It was a little hot, and he was obviously still having a fever.

So, he turned his head and looked down at the kneeling place. He clearly saw the middle-aged man who was still trembling, and then he said solemnly: "Take care of the child immediately, and I will pay you for the consultation. If If you’re not sure, let me know!”

"Don't dare, dare not, grassroots dare not!" The middle-aged man dared to ask for the emperor's consultation fee. At this moment, he was shocked that this poor couple who were clangingly poor actually knew the current emperor, and they seemed to have a close relationship. Yes, if I knew this earlier, I wouldn't have dared to neglect this couple so much!

Although Emperor Chongzhen didn't have a good impression of this middle-aged man, he was not angry and shouted at him.

After all, they are indeed opening a medical clinic, not a charity hall.The so-called benevolence of doctors, who can treat the poor, regardless of the consultation fee, is praised and spread because it is very rare.Obviously, this medical clinic does not belong to this kind, but it cannot be said how bad it is.

"Stop being so nagging, hurry up and see a doctor for your child!" Emperor Chongzhen ordered in a cold voice.

The middle-aged man did not dare to be nagging anymore, kowtowed quickly, then got up, and immediately began to make a preliminary diagnosis. Then he immediately lowered his head and reported to Emperor Chongzhen: "Your Majesty, this disease can be cured by a villain!"

"Then treat it quickly!" After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed that it was a common disease.Therefore, his tone softened a little, and he ordered immediately.

"The grassroots obey the order!" The middle-aged man responded quickly, and then took the family to go inside to start the diagnosis and treatment.

At this time, Emperor Chongzhen looked around, looked at these people who joined in the fun, and said lightly: "This family is poor, but when the imperial court borrowed food to build prisoners, it did not hesitate to save them. The raised food was brought out. At that time, they didn’t know my identity, they just met by chance on the roadside, but when I asked about it, they told me clearly that even if the court didn’t pay back the food, they would willingly donate it Jianlu, to do their part."

Speaking of this, after he paused for a moment, he suddenly said with emotion: "I didn't expect that when they were in trouble, they would meet me again. It can be seen from this that good people are rewarded after all. Doing more good deeds is the only way to achieve success." The way to hold on!"

Emperor Chongzhen didn't mind teaching his people if he had the chance. After saying this, he let them disperse.

These crowds of onlookers didn't dare to have the slightest atmosphere, and retreated far away, and some even began to recover after returning to their own homes.Recalling the scene just now, all kinds of thoughts came into my mind.

Some people, envious of that couple, unexpectedly met the current emperor twice. What kind of luck is it that they have such an adventure?
Some people, while feeling envious of the couple, suddenly regretted it very much.If I had reached out to help at that time, instead of just moving my mouth in the crowd, then this scene would have been seen by the emperor, and it would have caught the eyes of the emperor. Few people can encounter such a good thing, but I have encountered it. , but just missed it!

Looking back on this encounter, they had to admit that the emperor was right: good people will eventually be rewarded.Doing more good deeds is the way to maintain your body!

Of course they, the onlookers, would not keep this once-in-a-lifetime incident to themselves, but would gossip about it to their neighbors, relatives and friends. As a result, what Emperor Chongzhen said would spread accordingly. opened.

Besides, at Baicao Hall, since the current emperor is waiting for the results, the medical clinic naturally dare not neglect, and the efficiency is extremely high, and the child's condition was quickly treated, and then came to report that it would take about seven or eight days to take a course of medicine. Look, the child should be able to recover.

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen felt a little more happy in his heart, nodded and asked, "Li Qing, give him a consultation fee!"

After hearing this, Li Ruolian didn't dare to say, why did I pay the money?Instead, he immediately bowed to receive the order and said: "The final general will obey the order!"

Then I asked the middle-aged man how much the consultation fee?
The middle-aged man heard their conversation, and when he went to see Li Ruolian, he probably guessed that the Li Qing in front of him should be the commander of Jinyiwei.

If it is said that because of the emperor's reputation of loving the people like a son, he, a commoner, is not afraid of him, then he is really afraid of the commander of Jin Yiwei.At this time, how dare he ask for a consultation fee.

However, Li Ruolian couldn't disobey what the emperor said, and forcibly gave the consultation fee.

After this incident, the middle-aged man regretted very much in his heart. If he could not care about so much and treat the child, maybe he could get a piece of the "doctor's benevolence" bestowed by the emperor.Now it's all right, although the emperor has a lot of adults, he shouldn't care about it, but what about those Jin Yiwei?
After thinking about it, he came up with a way, and put up a sign the next day: In gratitude for the emperor's teachings, free clinics will be held every morning, and no consultation fees will be charged.

After this matter spread throughout the capital, other medical centers followed suit.I would rather earn less money, but if you do more good deeds, maybe you will be rewarded!

Of course, Emperor Chongzhen at this time still didn't know about these things.When he saw the couple who came out with their child in their arms and wanted to salute him again, he stretched out his hand to help him and said with a smile, "There is no need to be so polite!"

Afterwards, he asked where the couple lived, how they were doing, and so on.In the end, he simply went back with them and checked the situation by the way.

Along the way, the child's mother held the child and returned in a sedan chair.But the child's father accompanied Emperor Chongzhen on walks and answered various questions from the emperor.

Through the direct dialogue with the low-level folks, Emperor Chongzhen learned that situations like this family actually abound.It is really not easy for poor people to see a doctor.Most of the time, it's all about holding on. It's best if you can make it through, if you can't make it, your life is bad.

Regarding this matter, or similar situations, it is actually unjustifiable to condemn those medical clinics.After all, people really want to support their families.Even if you don't support your family, you still want to make more money so that your family can live a better life.These are human nature, and we cannot blame these ordinary people harshly.

In the end, Emperor Chongzhen left 50 taels of silver for the family, and asked Li Ruolian to look after the family before returning to the palace.

Along the way, he was thinking about the medical treatment he encountered this time.

Regardless of past and present lives, no matter how rich or poor, people cannot live without two major events.

One is to eat; the other is to see a doctor.

Since traveling through the past few years, I have been committed to eating this thing.To prevent starvation, and to prevent common people from rebelling because they cannot survive.From the current point of view, eating this matter is barely qualified, but we can't relax.

As for the matter of seeing a doctor, it was ignored before.It can even be said that in the past, I never cared about it.

But it's different now, Liaodong Jianlu has been destroyed, and the Mongolian tribes in the northern grasslands have almost been conquered.Although there is a Wa country, it is limited to North Korea, and Daming has fought it out.More importantly, the revenue of the national treasury is getting richer every year.

If you have money, you have confidence!
If you have money, you can do things easily!
Keeping the money in the treasury to rot is definitely not something a qualified emperor would do.

It is time to start taking from the people and using it for the people.

Emperor Chongzhen thought about the matter of seeing a doctor, and naturally immediately thought of setting up a public hospital.However, under the conditions of ancient times, how to set up public hospitals requires careful consideration.

So, just like that, the incident of meeting that couple on the street became the fuse of a major change in the medical history of Ming Dynasty.

However, the first thing Emperor Chongzhen did after returning to the palace was to solve the issue of the Ming currency system.

After careful consideration, he summoned important court officials to discuss.

What surprised Emperor Chongzhen was that as soon as he mentioned that he wanted to print more silver notes and prepare to use silver notes to replace the physical silver in circulation, a group of people led by Xue Guoguan immediately opposed it and even mentioned the Ming Dynasty treasure banknotes. example.Anyway, I just wanted to persuade the emperor to give up this idea.

In this regard, Emperor Chongzhen was also helpless, so he had to explain the basic common sense of economics to these important ministers of Ming Dynasty, that is, the knowledge about currency.Tell them that if they don't do much, there will be not enough money after all, and large-scale social problems will be caused by then.

Fortunately, these important ministers of the Ming Dynasty were all human beings. After some explanations by Emperor Chongzhen, they finally understood the principle.Needless to say, the way they looked at the emperor was immediately different: the emperor could even think of such a thing, how did he do it?
Then, Emperor Chongzhen explained to them that he did not print more bank notes at will, but based on the forecast of the treasury revenue in the coming year, and used it as a collateral guarantee, he printed more bank notes appropriately, and let the provincial banks lend money. Circulate to the society to achieve a balanced relationship between goods and currencies.

Of course, in this era, it is impossible to be as precise as later generations, and it is not realistic to just count various data.The only way to determine the amount of money issued is based on treasury revenue, rather than other economic indicators such as gross national product.

No matter what, doing this thing is better than not doing it!

After reaching a consensus, the monarch and his ministers became busy.

At the same time, the return of food on the capital's side has also come to an end.And someone, also at this time, finally arrived at the legendary capital of the Ming Dynasty, the most prosperous place in the world.

 Thanks for the braised braised pig's trotters, for your reward!

  ps: During this period of time, I was sick and saw the crowds of people in the hospital, so this plot happened.
