Chapter 339: Establishing a reputation, the greatest protection
Early the next morning, Ji Chuhe and Xiao Yan'an left the house together.
In the carriage, Xiao Yanan couldn't help but ask, "Madam, where are we going?"
"Go to Jishidiang." Ji Chuhe responded softly.
"Jishitang, isn't that ***'s medical clinic?"
"Yeah." Ji Chuhe nodded.
Xiao Yan'an didn't know what Ji Chuhe had planned during this month, but he had a strong sense of trust in Ji Chuhe.
So he stopped asking.
The carriage slowly stopped. Ji Chuhe did not get off the carriage, but lifted the curtain to look at the long line of people seeking medical treatment on the side of the road.
Many people couldn't even stand and fell to the ground.
"Why are there so many people getting sick this year? Could it be some epidemic?" someone in the crowd sighed.
"Alas, in fact, the disease is not scary, what is scary is that there is no medicine to cure it."
"With this kind of queue, when will it end?"
"Why don't you think of a solution? Why keep queuing here? I heard that many people have gone to other cities for treatment."
"If I run to another city, what will happen to my family? What if they get sick again?"
"This is the imperial capital! Isn't there anyone to take care of it?"
"Take care? Who dares to take care?"
"Ugh."
There was already a lot of resentment among the crowd, but they only dared to vent their complaints like this.
Suddenly, a man came over with two packets of medicine, and the medicine in his hands immediately attracted people's attention.
Someone recognized him in the crowd.
"Old Wang! What are you holding in your hand?"
"Of course it's medicine!" Old Wang raised the price of the medicine with a proud look on his face.
"Where did you get the medicine? I saw you begging for help yesterday."
"Is it because there are fewer people queuing at other Jishiditangs that he got the first chance?" someone couldn't help but speculate.
"Queue? What queue? Only idiots like you would queue here! The abandoned Medicine King Temple in the south of the city has made a soup for free, and it's specially made to treat this kind of cold! You can drink a bowl when you get there!"
"There is such a good thing?"
"He's not lying to us, is he?"
While some people were still questioning, others had already left the team and were heading towards the Medicine King Temple in the south of the city.
Anyway, even if we queue until the clinic closes today, we won’t be able to get a seat there. We might as well try our luck at the Medicine King Temple!
When one person ran, the rest couldn't help it and started running in that direction as well.
The originally long queue suddenly shrank by one third of its people.
Still two-thirds of people choose to continue waiting.
Even, he was secretly delighted.
With so many people leaving at once, it became much easier for them to line up.
Seeing this, Ji Chuhe ordered the coachman to drive the carriage to the Medicine King Palace.
The Medicine King Hall in the south of the city had been abandoned for a long time, but now it had been cleaned up and a clinic and pharmacy had been set up. The incense burner outside the Medicine King Hall was also burning again.
The smoke that came out didn't feel like ordinary incense, it actually had a faint medicinal fragrance.
Some people who were suffering from nasal congestion and headache could feel their noses starting to become unblocked and their dizzy heads became much clearer after smelling these medicines.
In the corridor at the side, there were several large pots, in which medicinal soups were being boiled.
On the other side, the cooked medicine soup was being distributed to people who came to get the medicine.
At the beginning, there were not many people, but suddenly, a large number of people came and started queuing.
"So many people came here all at once, and they're still queuing. Isn't it the same as Jishidiang?"
"Oh! If I had known I wouldn't have come here. It would have been better to just queue up at Jishidi Hall!"
"That's right, who knows if the medicine here works?"
Just as everyone was discussing and doubting the medicine in the Medicine King Hall, a veiled woman walked out.
Judging from her clothes, she must be of a high social status. Moreover, just standing there, she gives people a calm and trustworthy feeling.
"Everyone, listen to me! Just now, there were few people here, so everyone could get treatment as soon as they arrived. Now that so many people have suddenly arrived, please don't crowd to avoid being trampled and causing unnecessary injuries. We guarantee that as long as you come to the Medicine King Hall, you can get treatment!"
This sentence first calmed people's hearts.
Everyone calmed down, and those who wanted to leave hesitated and stopped.
"During this period, the temperature dropped sharply, and more than half of the people in the imperial capital city have contracted colds. I learned that it is difficult for everyone to seek medical treatment. Many people have gone from mild symptoms to severe ones, and even their lives are in danger. I really can't bear to see everyone suffer from the disease, so I set up a free clinic in Medicine King Valley to provide free diagnosis and treatment for everyone."
"What? Free treatment?"
"There is such a good thing in the world?"
"Could it be that the consultation fee is free, but the medicine cost is ridiculously high?"
"That's definitely the case."
"The list of medicine costs is posted on the west wall. The prices are clearly marked. We only recover the cost. I dare say that there is no such medicine price in the imperial capital."
"I just checked it out, the medicine is really cheap! A dose is less than half an ounce!"
"Half an ounce of money!" A voice of great surprise came from the crowd.
"Also..." The woman's voice sounded again. She paused deliberately, as if waiting for everyone to quiet down.
Everyone was very tactful and immediately shut their mouths, waiting for her to continue.
"Our doctor has prepared a decoction for treating mild colds. If your condition is not serious, you can drink our decoction to see the effect. These decoctions are free of charge."
"Oh my God! What a kind man this is!"
"This is the real living Bodhisattva who saves the world!"
"My only request is that everyone abide by the rules and not fight or grab. We have also set up an emergency area. Anyone with a serious condition can go through the emergency channel for diagnosis and treatment first."
"There is such a good thing! This is really to cure illness and save lives!"
"They said it was a free clinic, don't you understand?"
"Not to mention that a dose of medicine is only about half a tael of silver, even if it is one tael of silver, it is many times cheaper than that of Jishitang."
After the living Bodhisattva finished speaking, someone came over to give instructions and everything was arranged in an orderly manner.
People were still pouring into the direction of the Medicine King Palace. In the afternoon, several Jishitang clinics in the city were completely empty!
When *** heard the news, he was so angry that he overturned the crystal plate in front of him.
"Go and check for me right now to see who is so bold as to openly oppose me."
"Your Highness, I have already found out that it is the Crown Prince's wife."
"Ji Chuhe?" *** sneered, "It turned out to be her. I was wondering who was so bold! Go and destroy the Medicine King Hall for me!"
"Calm down, ma'am!" The old maid stepped forward and advised, "Recently, many people in the city have caught a cold, and the Jishidi Hall is overcrowded every day. The people who can't get timely treatment have long complained. Now, the Crown Prince's wife has opened a free clinic in the Medicine King Hall, and it's the right time to win the hearts of the people! The Crown Prince's wife is eager for you to find trouble with her! If this happens, you will definitely be branded as a rich and heartless person who despises human life!"
