"Master, the sesame cake you want!"
On the streets of Yonglefang, Li Zexuan saw more than one vendor on the roadside. On a whim, he asked Sanbao to buy him a sesame cake. He just didn't have much to eat at noon, so he wanted to taste what the sesame cakes of the Tang Dynasty were like!
(Most of the lamb at noon went into Li Tai’s belly)
Taking the sesame cake from Sanbao, it was slightly hot in his hands. Li Zexuan opened it and smelled it. There was a smell of roasted flour and burnt sesame seeds. He smiled and said to Sanbao: "Okay! Let's go to Yunshan! "
Having said that, he boarded the carriage and prepared to enjoy the original Tang Dynasty biscuits in the carriage!
"Okay! Master!"
Sanbao responded, and soon the carriage started again.
Most of the roads between Chang'an and Yunshan were cement roads. The road was wide and flat. The horse-drawn carriage galloped all the way and arrived at Yunshan in less than two quarters of an hour.
Li Zexuan had already finished eating the sesame cakes. He got off the carriage and walked towards the No. 3 annex where Sun Simiao was.
The courtyard was very lively. Except for Hu Jingran, Dr. Wang, Dr. Qin and their two disciples were all there.
"Yo~! The mountain chief is here!"
In the other courtyard, seeing Li Zexuan come in, Dr. Wang, Dr. Qin and others got up to say hello.
"Well! It's quite lively here today!"
Li Zexuan smiled and said hello to everyone, then looked at Sun Simiao and asked, "Daozhang Sun, I heard that you have something to do with me?"
Sun Simiao stroked his beard and said with a smile: "There are some things! Xiaoxuan, please sit down first and talk about it first!"
Li Zexuan found a stool and sat down, and Sun Simiao continued: "Xiaoxuan, recently students from Yanhuang Academy went down to the mountain to help those in need. I have heard about it, and I am very pleased that the Taoist sect has produced a junior like you!"
Li Zexuan was stunned. What Sun Simiao meant in his words was that he thought he was doing so much to build up the Taoist sect's reputation? But the actual situation was not like this. He asked the students to do this just because he couldn't bear to see so many poor people around him. In addition, he also wanted the students to practice and practice, but he didn't want to go there to build the reputation of the Taoist sect.
Although he is also a member of the Taoist sect and has a good impression of the Taoist sect, he really didn't have that in mind when he did this!
"Daozhang Sun, I just want to help the poor people around me. This has nothing to do with faction!"
"Haha! It doesn't matter! Be kind to things and forgive yourself and others. You have finally achieved this!"
Sun Simiao smiled and waved his hand and said: "Xiao Xuan, you are leading your students to accumulate virtue and do good deeds at the foot of the mountain, but Pindao cannot always be idle on the mountain. She actually told Pindao an idea yesterday, and Pindao thought it was good, so he thought Let me tell you!"
Li Zexuan's eyes flashed and he said with a smile: "Does Master Sun want to go down the mountain to do free clinics for poor people?"
In fact, free clinics have a long history. In the late Eastern Han Dynasty, the plague was prevalent in Changsha. Zhang Zhongjing, the prefect of Changsha, who was also revered as the "Medical Sage" by later generations, sat in the court and held free clinics for the people. Since then, it has been the practice of ancient doctors to diagnose patients. Call it "sitting in the hall"!
Sun Simiao nodded with a smile and said: "Ha! That's right! That's what Pindao means! What do you think, Xiaoxuan~?"
"Chief, now that the academy is on holiday, I have nothing to do in the academy, and I also want to go to the free clinic with Divine Doctor Sun! Let's give our two disciples a chance to practice!"
Dr. Qin interrupted at this time.
Li Zexuan frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded and said: "No problem! Daozhang Sun, Dr. Wang, Dr. Qin, if you want to go down the mountain to provide free clinics for the people, I support it! At that time, all the soup and medicine expenses will be borne by the Nuantang Foundation! In addition, the academy’s guards can go down the mountain with you, so you can be taken care of when the time comes!”
These people are all old antiques in the academy. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are living treasures in the entire Tang Dynasty. Li Zexuan is not worried that they just went down the mountain to conduct a free clinic. If they encounter some "tricksters" who are causing trouble , what should I do if I hurt them?
"Haha! Since it is Xiaoxuan's kindness, then Pindao will not refuse! Pindao plans to go to the 22 surrounding prefectures and counties with Brother Qin and Brother Wang in turn, and will meet with each state and county. I’m staying near the county government office for a day, so I hope Xiaoxuan you can help Pindao spread this news in the "Datang Daily" in advance, so that the poor people who need medical treatment will not miss it!"
This last sentence was Sun Simiao's main purpose. He was not looking for Li Zexuan to "pay for the medicine." He thought back when he was traveling around the world alone and no one "sponsored" medicinal materials for him. He had saved so many people by collecting medicines on his own. Poor people?
The main reason is that now he has two Xinglin masters helping him. He just wants to save a few more poor people, so he needs Li Zexuan's help to advertise in the "Datang Daily". If it weren't for this, he would have taken Hu Jingran down the mountain for a free clinic!
Li Zexuan smiled and said: "Okay! Mr. Sun, please tell me your free clinic route these days, and then I will ask Mr. Ma to put it in the most conspicuous position of "Datang Daily"! As for the county I will also send someone to contact the government office. I think you might as well just go to the county government office for a free clinic. In this winter, it is not easy to hold a free clinic on the street!"
Sun Simiao waved his hands repeatedly: "No, no! We can't delay the local government's handling of the case! I'm used to living in the open over the years!"
Li Zexuan said: "How can this be done? It's almost the Chinese New Year now, and the local government will probably not have any cases. Besides, didn't the medical sage in those days do the same thing? It's become a good story! That's it! "
In Li Zexuan's view, when a fairy-like figure like Sun Simiao went to various counties to provide free medical treatment to the people, the county officials would not know how welcoming he was! Because within the scope of their governance, fewer people will die from illness, and for them, their political performance will look much better!
After deciding the matter, Li Zexuan went directly down the mountain and went to the workshop to find Ma Zhou. Since he agreed to Sun Simiao, he had to help publicize this free clinic in the newspaper.
Arriving at the workshop, Li Zexuan found Ma Zhou in the editorial office of Datang Daily and explained Sun Simiao's free clinic plan in detail. After hearing this, Ma Zhou agreed.
Finally, Ma Zhou said with a smile: "Master Hou, something interesting happened at Datang Daily recently!"
"What happened~?"
Li Zexuan asked curiously.
"One evening two days ago, the authors of "Zhang Xiaohua's Journey to Immortality" and "The Long Journey to Immortality" came to find Ma and said that they wanted to donate all the reward money they received this month and next month to Nuantang Foundation! This shows how influential the Nuantang Foundation is now~!"
