Four elder brothers take the script of salted fish

These two words, which are familiar when viewed separately, but strange when put together, confuse the common people for a while.They looked at it for a long time before whispering to each other: "Lucky draw...? All the above are rewards?"

"Get something without doing it?"

"Is this pie in the sky?"

If it wasn't organized by the government.

The common people can all think that it is a liar from somewhere!After hearing the news, more and more people came, and soon they gathered under the high platform.Guessing that the time was almost up, a yamen servant stepped forward and beat the gong and drum vigorously twice.

The bang bang attracted everyone's attention to the stage, and the yamen servant shouted loudly: "The emperor has ordered that everyone who signs up for the cowpox today will be rewarded with 100 cash per person. From today to the beginning of next month Every day, a few lucky ones will be drawn from the people who signed up, and they can get rewards worth up to [-] taels of silver!"

The stage was silent.

When he came back to his senses, there was an eruption of discussions all over the place.The din of people at the gate of the yamen attracted a lot of people, and in the end there were bustling crowds everywhere, and the voices of discussion kept coming and going.

Cowpox?Cowpox again?

Some people were very itchy and wanted to sign up right away, while some shook their heads again and again to dissuade others: "You didn't read that newspaper? This cowpox is said to be used to treat smallpox!"

"Isn't that a good thing?"

"What's the matter! How can something from animals be used on humans? If you want me to say, you might be using us as test subjects!"

Hearing this sentence, those who were still thinking about going forward did not dare to go forward.On the contrary, two or three gangsters turned around and dragged a child over, expecting them to catch the cowpox.

One can cost five hundred Wen!

The servants in Shuntian Mansion knew all about those lazy, gambling people in the capital, and when they saw them dragging a few children up, they sneered: "Zhao Lao Si, children can't do it!"

"Cut—" the gangsters yelled unluckily and kicked the child.This scene fell into the eyes of Yin Zhen who was sitting on the second floor of the tea house, making his eyes darken for a moment.The fifth elder brother Yinqi clenched his fists tightly. The crying child was about his age, but he was so skinny that he didn't dare to make a sound when he was pushed to the ground.

Yin Qi knocked on the table loudly.

He shouted angrily at Kangxi: "Khan Ama, it's a good thing you said not to let the children participate."

You must know that the Eight Banners people give priority to children to get smallpox, followed by adults who have never had smallpox.Originally, the same should be the case among the common people, but Kangxi left the children aside for the time being.

Prince Yinreng and his elder brothers nodded in unison.

At the same time, they cast admiring glances at Kangxi—look at the people below, if the common people started out as children, they might have been taken advantage of by these gangsters instead.

Kangxi smiled.

It’s just that his heart is a little heavy. He chose not to vaccinate the children for the time being. Firstly, he felt that the common people were unwilling to start with children. Secondly, there were so many children in the folk that it was impossible to check their bodies one by one. After pouring a basin of sewage, it will be difficult to promote in the future.

Only did not expect.

On the first day, someone figured out the idea of ​​exchanging children for money.

The yamen servants repeated it several times.

It's a pity that countless people waited and watched, but no one dared to come up.

After half an hour, someone finally came up.

This is a middle-aged man dressed in rags, with a sallow complexion and a thin figure, with a pile of branches on his back.He looked at the prizes eagerly, and asked cautiously and anxiously: "Master, is what you said just now true?"

The man's almost black palms rubbed gently.

He rolled his throat, his eyes lingering on the big bag of rice for a long time.It's not yet spring, but the grain at home has bottomed out, and I haven't even sold a bundle of wood today.If he can't get some money to go home, the youngest in the family may have to dig the grass to eat. Now he just looks at the rice and feels his stomach and stomach are churning together, and he can't wait to rush forward to eat a few bites.

As for cowpox killing people?

Anyway, starving to death is dead, and if you die from acne, at least you can still support the family!

The longing gaze of the man made the servants almost overwhelmed!

They looked up and down, and immediately had some understanding of this person's family background.The leading yamen servant smiled Hexi: "Of course it's genuine, there's not even a single lie!"

The middle-aged man breathed a sigh of relief.

He didn't hesitate anymore, and immediately took out his guide to register.

The yamen servant saw that he was refreshing, and was afraid that the middle-aged man would not know the effect of the cowpox.After explaining in detail, the yamen servant added another sentence: "If you sign up, you can't go back on your word. If you don't say you don't want to participate, you'll have to go to jail."

The man nodded casually.

After handing over Lu Yin, he looked at the yamen servant eagerly: "The grassroots know, so... when will I get... the money?"

"Now!"

"...Huh?" The man was stunned.He originally thought that at least he would have to wait until the cowpox was finished before he could get it, and he estimated how long he would have to wait, but he never thought that it would be now immediately?

Seeing the yamen servant take a bag of money from the table and put it in his hands, the man was stunned.

His hands holding the purse began to tremble.

Five hundred Wen is the monthly income of a male servant, but selling a bundle of firewood by myself is only five Wen!The middle-aged man stared at the small pocket of money, dazed for a long time before asking: "Then...the grass man is going to get the pox right now? Can you let the grass man go back and give the money home?"

The yamen servant laughed.

He patted the man's shoulder and said with a smile: "You don't think you can get the cowpox now, do you? You have to wait in line for the cowpox. The masters of the palace, the clan dignitaries, and the Eight Banners have all their turns before it will be their turn." The people of the capital, not to mention the nearby places, if you want to go outside the capital, it may take a year before your turn! As for you to take the money and go back to make up for your health, someone will contact you in advance."

"The masters in the palace also want to win?" The man was dumbfounded.

He listened to the discussion below and thought he was destined to be a guinea pig. How did he know that he would have to wait in line?

Just as he was walking down in a daze, the yamen servant grabbed him again: "Why are you walking so fast?"

The man's heart skipped a beat.

Sure enough, this money is not so easy to get for nothing——before he lost his thoughts, the yamen servant pushed him down in front of a box: "You forgot your lottery ticket."

It was only when the man recovered that he remembered that there was still a lottery draw.

He nodded indiscriminately, stretched out his hand and touched a piece of paper randomly to finish the job.

The man started to walk again.

The yamen servant held him back again, complaining as he pulled him: "Why are you so impatient? You just let yourself go without looking at it? Oops! Your luck is really good!"

The yamen servant's eyes lit up.

He quickly shook the bell in his hand and shouted excitedly: "Congratulations, you have won the fifth prize!"

"……Hey?"

"The fifth prize is ten catties of pork!" The yamen servant announced loudly, and the yamen servant who had been prepared by the side enthusiastically stuffed a large bundle of pork into the man's hand.

Ten catties of pork! ?

The man was really stunned by the pie that fell from the sky. He seemed to be stepping on the clouds all the way down the stage, and he only felt that one foot was light and the other was heavy.

A group of people roared over.

Everyone could hear the conversation on this stage clearly!

Five hundred Wen?Ten catties of pork?

Now that is enough for the whole family to eat for a month, and enough for three months!

Some people also doubt whether it is acting.

But this middle-aged man was dressed in tatters and was thin and thin. More importantly, it was soon discovered that he was from Chenjiazhuang on the outskirts of the capital. The family had a wife and three children and had to support his mother. He was so poor that he was about to eat The turf is gone.

Is this... all true?

The words of the yamen servants resounded in the minds of many people, and the breathing of the people became rapid.

The master of the palace, the men of the Eight Banners will be their turn first?Then it will be our turn! ?All fools know that the effect of this cowpox is extraordinary!Although there were still some doubts in their hearts, more people speeded up and rushed to the stage with excitement on their faces.

At least a pig's tongue, as much as ten catties of rice, plus a bag of money.Hearing the news, more and more people came here, and the team lined up more than ten meters away in an instant.

Of course, there are many people who have conflicts and doubts.

They muttered and whispered, watched for a long time, but chose to take a detour to leave.For these ordinary people, Yinzhen and others are also very calm. When you arrive, it is not the imperial court begging you to get the pox, but you are begging the imperial court to release the pox vaccine.

Seeing that the cowpox registration was on the right track, Kangxi's mood improved a lot.He patted Yinzhen's forehead with a smile: "It cost a lot of money now."

There are 75 to 30 households in the capital, and there are [-] to [-] people in each household, and [-] people if the old, young, sick, and disabled are deducted. Even if it is only half to one third, there are more than ten people. Ten thousand people, five hundred Wen per person...

Yinzhen has the final say.

He waved his hand: "That's 5 to 7 taels of silver, but four hundred Master Tang, it's quite a bargain."

Kangxi had black lines on his face.

He couldn't help but support his forehead: "You are not allowed to use Tang Bin as a calculation formula next time! I don't know who leaked the truth in the Ministry of Accounts. It made Tang Bin dizzy!"

Prince Yinfeng couldn't help laughing.

Yinzhen and the younger ones stuck out their tongues, cupped their faces and laughed and said, "We only use Master Tang because we like him!"

Kangxi couldn't help laughing.

It was obvious that Tang Bin was serious in class, and these boys wanted to tease his relationship when they had nothing to do, so they had the nerve to talk nonsense!Regardless of this matter for the time being, Kangxi turned around and talked about the money again: "7 to [-] taels is not a small number. It's just the capital city and the surrounding cities. I'm afraid the amount will be increased by three to forty times or even up to [-]." It's a hundred times possible."

Look at [-] to [-] alone.

But according to what Khan Ama said, double it, everyone's heart skipped a beat.However, Yin Zhen quickly came back to his senses, and he quickly complained: "The news in the capital is spreading quickly, and there is no need to promote it at all."

So Khan Ama is fooling us!

Following Yinzhen's words, a group of brothers also came to their senses.They glared at Kangxi angrily, complaining endlessly.

The only exception is the sixth elder brother Yinzuo.

He did not focus on Khan Amma like other brothers, but greedily and curiously stared at the various faces below, silently staring blankly.

He still looked thoughtful until he returned to the palace.

On the way, Yinzhen, who found that something was wrong with his sixth younger brother, escorted Yinzuo back to Yonghe Palace worriedly all the way.

Concubine De frowned slightly.

She asked in a low voice: "Did something happen when you left the palace? Why did Yin Zuo come back like this?"

Sixth elder brother Yin Zuo is a bluffing little firecracker.

It wasn't until after enrolling in the Enlightenment Academy that he looked more stable, but this jumping nature couldn't be concealed, and it was common to toss the entire Yonghe Palace upside down.

Yinzhen was also very puzzled.

After thinking about it carefully, he didn't think that anything worth paying attention to happened today.

Yinzhen grimaced and shook his head slightly.

The murmuring Concubine De circled around Yin Zuo, wanting to talk to him.However, Yinzuo's small face was wrinkled, and he simply hugged his knees and nestled in the corner, as if he was deeply in doubt.

This appearance can make people feel a little frightened.

The tip of Concubine De's nose was sweating, and she couldn't stop calling for someone to invite the imperial physician—at this moment Yinzuo finally responded.He looked up at Yinzhen, pondered for a moment and said, "Fourth brother, what do you think is the meaning of life?"

Yinzhen's expression was blank.

It took a long time to squeeze out a word: "...huh?"

In the next second, he jumped up and couldn't help complaining: "You are only five years old, what is the meaning of life thinking about?"
