Chapter 356 Headache
“If he can stop him for a while, can he stop him for a lifetime?” The deputy sneered.
After he finished speaking, none of the other three people in the room responded, but everyone looked unhappy.
What they can understand, the other party can naturally understand as well.
The reason why he stopped him was probably because he had already prepared a backup plan.
This back-up plan...what back-up plan can stop me for the rest of my life?
dead.
"By the way, how did you two get out?" After a long silence, Zhao Kangjie suddenly spoke and changed the subject.
The city gate had been blocked since they arrived here.
No one outside is allowed to come in, and no one inside is allowed to come out.
Doctor Sun said, "When we arrived here, we registered at a pharmacy here. The owner of this pharmacy has some connections with the queen. Before we came, the queen asked me to bring a letter. After reading the letter, the owner accepted us without saying anything.
Moreover, didn’t the master from Qingquan Temple in Zhending also come along at that time?
He lived in Kaihong Temple not far from the city. The abbot of the temple had some friendship with the local prefect. He would use the excuse of being sick, and Doctor Zhen and I would go out of the city every two days to see him. It was also a way for us to keep in touch and discuss countermeasures with each other.
Today is the day to visit Kaihong Temple. Knowing you were coming, we hurried over.
General Zhao, what should we do? "
Zhao Kangjie asked, "Is the situation in the city serious now?"
Doctor Sun shook his head, "The officials are also afraid of an epidemic, so they are quite strict in their inspections. If anyone in a family has a fever or a rash, they must report it immediately. If anyone conceals the truth, the whole family will be killed.
After this order was issued, the government sent people to every household every day to register and inquire, and there are currently no signs of epidemics. "
Zhao Kangjie frowned. "After he issued this order, did he mention that if anyone with fever or rash is reported, the government will treat it?"
Zhen Ze sneered, "The government will take care of the treatment? What kind of dream is that? They are busy making money, how can they pay for people's treatment?"
As soon as he said this, he suddenly realized Zhao Kangjie's intention.
Doctor Sun was stunned for a moment and then reacted, "You mean, there is a possibility of concealment? How could it be? Once it is discovered, the whole family will be beheaded."
Zhao Kangjie looked at him with a smile that showed he didn't understand the suffering of the people.
Zhen Ze next to him answered the question for Zhao Kangjie.
"Of course it's possible. Poor people can't afford medical treatment and are unwilling to see a doctor. Every year, the vast majority of people who die from illness are poor people. When they first get sick, they may just have a cold or a fever, but they don't have the money to see a doctor, or they simply don't want to waste money on it. They think that a headache or fever will go away if they just endure it. Poor people don't have that much money. If a minor illness is delayed, it will become a major illness, and they will eventually need to spend more money. It's a vicious cycle, and they die without treatment. There are many such examples!"
Doctor Sun opened his mouth but said nothing.
He grew up in a well-off family. The royal family of Zhao State attached great importance to the cultivation of medical talents. Those who studied medicine, after their medical skills reached a certain level, could receive free education from the court, and their food and accommodation were provided, and they could also receive one or two taels of silver every month.
After graduation, find a job according to your abilities.
Needless to say, the most capable ones were selected to the Imperial Medical Bureau, and the next best ones were divided among the major pharmacies.
He is the capable one. From childhood to adulthood, he has never suffered any hardship and has never had much contact with poor people.
"Why delay an illness that can be cured with just a few coins?"
Zhen Ze looked at him coldly, "A few copper coins? In your opinion, it's just a few copper coins, but in their opinion, it may be all the savings of a family. Moreover, you have to understand that there is another reason why poor people don't go to the doctor, that is, they think the disease is not worth spending so much money, even if it's only one copper coin, they think it's not worth it.
He spent the money and got better after taking two doses of medicine. He would feel that he had bought the medicine in vain. If he had known that he could get better after taking two doses of medicine, he would have resisted the disease a little and maybe he could get better without taking any medicine.
If the condition does not improve after two doses of medicine , they will feel that the money was wasted and the medicine is ineffective.
Can you understand? No, you don’t understand. People who have never been short of money and suffered don’t understand this mentality.”
Doctor Sun opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Zhao Kangjie.
Zhao Kangjie patted his shoulder and said, "Go to Kaihong Temple and find the master from Qingquan Temple. Come up with a plan to organize a free clinic. The cost of the herbs will be paid by the Su family army, but don't mention us. It's better to put the blame on Kaihong Temple so as not to cause any other trouble."
There is no need to mention any other troubles, as everyone knows them well.
As soon as Doctor Zhao and Zhen Ze left, Zhao Kangjie's deputy angrily punched the air and said, "I'm going to sneak into the city tonight."
"What are you doing in there?" Zhao Kangjie looked at him coldly.
The deputy said, "Go in and kill those bastards. Once they're dead, everything will be over."
Zhao Kangjie said, "If it's that simple, would you have to do it? Don't forget, the officials here dared to lock us up and not let us enter the city, and they didn't come out to greet us, because Duke Xue is here!
Whenever the Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi Xu Kefeng met Duke Xue, he would respectfully address him as "Duke".
With that person inside, they have nothing to fear.
Since Duke Xue secretly runs the Weiyuan Escort Agency, the local tyrants here must be connected . Do you think you can kill anyone you want?
Don't be naive. If they dare to do this, they are not afraid of us taking action."
"We can't just sit there and waste time like this." The deputy general was getting anxious.
Zhao Jiekang said, "Who said you're just wasting time like this? Get out of here and do what you need to do. Come with me to the city tonight."
The deputy was about to say that he would not go out, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, his eyebrows curved and he smiled, and he walked out happily, "Okay, General, you think about it carefully, I won't bother you anymore."
Zhao Kangjie glared at him and said, "Get lost, you bastard!"
As soon as the deputy general left, Zhao Kangjie sighed and took out a map from his bag.
It's still raining outside, but not heavily. As long as the rain doesn't turn into heavy rain, there shouldn't be any problem.
On the day he arrived here, he went to check the sluice gate. The water level was still okay and the dam could hold up temporarily, but once the rain turned into a torrential rain, the dam would undoubtedly be destroyed.
Several dams have been destroyed, as have several surrounding villages and towns.
Now a large number of refugees and disaster victims are gathered outside.
Zhao Kangjie sighed.
The gates of Huicheng were closed, and the victims outside could not get in. When they arrived, the victims were all outside in the rain. They didn't know how long they had been wet, and how many people had fallen ill.
As soon as they arrived, they immediately distributed tents to the troops and arranged for military doctors to go and take statistics.
There must be a fever.
So the city gates were not opened, and he did not force anything. What if some of the people outside had a fever and an epidemic broke out...
It's better to keep them apart.
Zhao Kangjie was overwhelmed.
Fighting on the battlefield has never been as tiring as dealing with these parasites in the court.
