Zhuangyunguan is a very small Taoist temple outside Yongjinmen in Hangzhou. For people who are accustomed to the grand scale of Taoist temples in old times, Qingyun Temple is a bit "lost to everyone". [No pop-up novel website] Its facade is very inconspicuous, and its area is not large. It stands alone on the shore of the West Lake outside Yongjin Gate.
Outside Yongjin Gate is the shore of the West Lake. Although the scenery in this area is pleasant, it is not a busy city and there are very few homes. Zhang Yingchen was not very satisfied with the location of Qingyun Temple. This place was really remote. But the victory lies in tranquility, which fits the image of "purity, cultivation,...".
Although Qingyun Temple is small, its scale is quite neat. The whole view progresses forward and backward along the central axis and expands left and right. The first thing you enter is the Sanqing Hall, with Wenchang Hall and Lingguan Hall on the left and right.
There is a stage in the second courtyard after the Sanqing Hall, which is where the reefs are played and performed. On both sides of the second courtyard, there are side courtyards, which are very elegantly decorated and are specially used for rest and accommodation by wealthy pilgrims. After the second entrance is Zijin, which is the "quiet room" where Taoist priests live. The fourth entrance is the backyard. The backyard opens the door and there is a vegetable garden. There are Huoju Taoists who grow vegetables and raise chickens. In addition to supplying food for everyone in the Taoist temple, they can also sell it in exchange for some income to subsidize the Taoist temple.
Zhang Yingchen is quite satisfied with the living environment of Qingyun Temple. Although the Taoist temple is small, there are very few Taoist priests. Except for the young disciples, everyone has a separate quiet room, and the environment is also very quiet: the trees inside the temple are lush, the flowers are prosperous, and the West Lake is outside the courtyard wall. In the old days, this piece of land could not be bought even if it was tens of millions.
Qingyun Temple is not very popular among Taoist temples, and it does not have many Taoist properties. However, the successive Taoist abbots had their own set of business practices. They took advantage of the Taoist temple's superior geographical location and established relationships with many wealthy gentry households in the city. They received many gifts from the wealthy households during the three festivals and various Taoist festivals every year. Young ladies from wealthy families who feel bored in the city in the summer often come to the temple to play on the rocks, sing operas, and have fun. You can also get a lot of income from Taoist temples. This is how the Taoist temple can survive.
Different from the old time and space, except for a very small number of Taoist temples in this time and space that have a court background and are presided over by monks or Taoist officials who can receive salary and financial support from the court, most of the temples have to support themselves and do business. business activities. For temples like Qingyunguan that do not have a large amount of land and cannot obtain long-term income, the pressure to survive is very high.
Therefore, Taoist priests who want to become a monk in a certain Taoist temple will have to wander outside for at least several years before they can officially enter the temple. If it weren't for Zhang Yingchen's wonderful rejuvenation that saved the life of Taoist Ma, who was about to become an immortal, and his superb medical skills, he would not have been able to stay here indefinitely.
Zhang Yingchen was very interested in this phenomenon. He saw that the hosts and Taoist priests rarely studied Taoist classics, and they rarely held religious activities except for "ordering" from customers. The main activity every day was "generating income": visiting the homes of large and small donors. , Contact the relationship: set up a tea stall outside the Taoist temple: entertain the donors who come to offer incense and drink food and accommodation. There is a Taoist Huoju who is very skilled in cooking in the Taoist temple, and he makes excellent dishes and snacks.
At this moment, Zhang Yingchen was writing a work report for Hua while eating a delicious snack made by Huoju Taoist: Huo Tuǐsū cake. Also have a nice pot of pre-rain tea on hand. His treatment is of course related to his superb medical skills. Since he not only treated the abbot in the Taoist temple and got permission to stay in the Taoist temple, he also treated other Taoists in the Taoist temple, which was very popular for a while. A few days ago, an old lady from a gentry family who had contact with Qingyunguan was seriously ill and was about to die. After consulting many famous doctors in Hangzhou but still unable to do anything, Taoist Master Ma recommended Zhang Yingchen.
Zhang Yingchen quickly identified the cause of the disease using a combination of observation, hearing, inquiry, and modern medical diagnostic methods. He used two kinds of Chinese patent medicines that he brought with him and prescribed a few prescriptions. The medicine cured the disease and brought him back to life. Within a few days, the reputation of an apricot forest master in Qingyun Temple spread.
Several more patients with difficult and complicated diseases came in, and Zhang Yingchen solved them one by one with the right medicine.
He immediately became famous.
Daochang Ma's business-minded mind immediately realized how beneficial Zhang Yingchen's medical skills would be to Qingyun Temple, so he became more and more flattering to Zhang Yingchen. Not only did he receive preferential treatment in life, but he also tried his best to meet all his requirements.
Zhang Yingchen took advantage of the situation and requested to perform medical treatment in the temple, which was of great benefit to expanding his popularity.
Since its inception, various emerging religions have used "curing diseases" as a means of communication. Regardless of whether "curing diseases" is really useful, at least it is the easiest way to impress the common people.
Of course, Taoist Master Ma fully agreed that this was, after all, a way to increase the reputation of Qingyun Temple. Since Zhang Yingchen began to perform medical treatments in the temple, the popularity of Qingyun Temple has become much more prosperous than before. Zhang Yingchen only set up a cash box to "help according to circumstances" when it comes to medical expenses and medicine expenses, and he would invest as he pleased without asking for payment. As a result, his reputation skyrocketed.
He also did not accept the medical fees and medicine fees that were put into the cash box, and gave them all to the Taoist temple for use. For a time, everyone in Guan Nei admired his medical skills and ethics. According to word of mouth, everyone knew that a Taoist priest with excellent medical skills and good character had come to Qingyun Temple.
"I finally have a foothold here." Zhang Yingchen thought when writing the report, "The next step is to expand the reputation. To develop believers, we must first win over Qingyun Temple."
He was thinking about how to seize the leadership of Qingyunguan, when a handsome Taoist boy named Mingqing appeared at the door of his quiet room.
"Prince Taoist, are your medical records still under the Erjin stage?" he asked.
"Still the old rules." Zhang Yingchen said as he put the quill pen into the pencil case, blew on the report, folded the report, and put it into a small locked jewelry box. The report is written in English, which is the simplest handwritten password in this time and space. There may not be a single person in Hangzhou who can understand: all the missionaries of the church are language experts, but Zhang Yingchen does not think that they can understand English, and it is also modern English.
He stood up, took a sip of tea, and coughed. Picking up the locked medicine box that never left sight. No matter how famous he is, Zhang Yingchen still wears the ordinary Taoist attire of a green robe and cloth, but his tall figure built on the basis of meat, eggs and milk in the old time and space is still very visually impactful in the two Zhejiang provinces that are still said to be prosperous in this era. What's more, it has been more than a year since religious activities were formally organized, and I have some ideas about how to pretend to be a Taoist and immortal. The saying "the miracle doctor Sai Chunyang in Qingyun Temple" has gradually spread in the market. go. The most obvious proof is that there have been a few more aunts and sisters-in-law among the patients who have been consulting recently. They specifically asked him whether he was a Taoist priest who lived in the Lei family and whether he had any intention of returning to secular life and marrying into a local aboriginal family. It seems that Zhang Yingchen's value is not only understood by Ma Daozhang.
In the late Ming Dynasty, the Buddhist and Taoist temples in Zhejiang and Zhejiang were highly secularized. There were many descendant temples passed down from father to son in Hangzhou alone. Every year, there were indispensable romantic koans in which young girls and young wives followed handsome Taoist monks who performed rituals. Except for so-called eminent monks with extremely high reputations such as Renchi of Yunqi Temple and Enwu of Tendo Temple, it is a common phenomenon for monks and Taoists to openly marry and have children. Compared with those Zisun temples that have the industrial style of Japanese monks and families in later generations, the Lianhuā Jingshe in Guangzhou, which has the legacy of Yu Xuanji, can only be regarded as a child of Lou's special service industry.
Zhang Yingchen took the medicine box and walked to the second courtyard. There were several century-old camphor trees next to the stage. They were shaded from the sun. His medical records were placed under the shade of the trees. The medicine box contains dozens of Chinese patent medicines produced by Runshitang and manufactured according to modern formulas and techniques. There are also several Western medicines for high yield - the most important ones being sulfonamides and oxytetracycline. Without these two antibiotics, his reputation would not be so great. Traditional Chinese medicine is relatively weak in anti-infection. Several cases that famous doctors in this time and space were helpless could only be saved by antibiotics.
The 〖medicine〗 was consumed very quickly, although the inspection team brought him a large box of 〖medicine〗 as a supplement. Zhang Yingchen has recently greatly reduced the use of modern Lingao Laide medicines. As long as he can find local substitutes, he will try his best to use local substitutes. So he has been prescribing a lot recently,
Less medication was given. Some patients actually do not need to use Chinese patent medicines. They can just follow his prescriptions. However, because he believed that "Daozhang Zhang" had a "miraculous medicine" and insisted on taking a few pills before leaving, Zhang Yingchen had to make a lot of glutinous rice flour mixture. mì's "pills" are distributed to patients as placebos and are said to be effective.
However, applying pesticides is still imperative.
Zhang Yingchen realized that many people could not afford medicine, so he prescribed medicine for them because they had no money at all. These people didn't accept his prescription at all and only asked for a few pills of "miracle medicine".
After all, the glutinous rice flour mì pill placebo has no effect. If you don't administer the medicine, it will be difficult for you to have enough influence among the lower levels.
Run Shilou is also a member of Shanhai Road, but the layout of the pharmacy is more difficult than other stores. So far, the Ming Watson chain has not even completed the layout of the entire Hainan Island. There is only one store in Guangzhou on the mainland.
There are many reasons for the slow expansion due to existing local resistance. People in many places, regardless of the upper, middle or lower classes, are very wary of outside pharmacies. Some places simply prohibit outsiders from opening pharmacies. The second is the production capacity of Runshitang: Although the Runshitang pharmaceutical factory in the private industrial park in Lingao has been initially put into production, a lot of the drugs it manufactures are consumed in Qiongzhou. The production volume of [pharmaceutical] products is insufficient, so it cannot meet the basic distribution quantity of new stores. @.
