Chapter 4: The Three Brothers of the Zhang Family Who Fell in Frustration
Compared with the undercurrents of the Xia Kingdom and the coastal states and counties of Anguo; the Turkic grasslands that were still in chaos after the war had first subsided; and the Tubo Plateau where the friction was intensifying, at this time, the Yun Kingdom was in a state of prosperity.
Especially Zhongqing City, the capital of the Yun Kingdom, is full of pedestrians, carriages and horses, and people from all over the world gather here. The pavilions and pavilions in the capital are magnificent and gorgeous, just like a prosperous scene of peace and prosperity with flowers and brocades and raging fire cooking oil.
People can't help but be deeply involved in it and sigh at how powerful the Yun Kingdom is now.
Next to an ordinary street where ordinary people live, a person led a few people around him and actually set up a stall in this place.
This Taoist was wearing a yellow Taoist robe and wearing a Tai Chi robe on his forehead. His demeanor was so extraordinary that one could not help but secretly feel that he was an expert hermit.
Pedestrians passing by this place couldn't help but look at this man a few more times.
But whenever people saw clearly the stall set up by this Taoist, the awe that originally arose in their hearts immediately dissipated, and they frowned, shook their heads, and left.
I saw a flag raised in front of this stall. The eight characters on it were "spread talisman water, cure diseases and save lives". The eight characters were very conspicuous. Just looking at it like this made me feel like a swindler.
Zhang Bao looked at his eldest brother, a little uneasy, and asked in a muffled voice:
"Brother, we have been setting up a stall in Zhongqing City for three days, but not a single person has come for treatment!"
Zhang Liang also clicked his tongue and said suspiciously:
"Is it possible that Zhongqing City is so rich that there are no poor people anymore?"
The stall in front of me was naturally set up by Zhang Jiao.
Poor people often have to struggle to stay alive and do not have money to treat diseases. If you get sick, you can only endure it. If you survive it, you will be fine. If you cannot survive it, you will die...
As for Zhang Jiao, he was able to treat poor people for free, using a seemingly miraculous method like talisman water, and he was naturally able to gather a group of devout believers around him.
But this method, which was quite effective before, no one in Zhongqing City buys it now.
Zhang Jiao led his two younger brothers to wait for three days, but one person always stepped forward to try.
The people passing by, even those who were dressed in shabby clothes and looked extremely poor, shook their heads and left when they saw the three brothers.
Hearing what his two younger brothers said, Zhang Jiao didn't really care. Instead, he smiled and said:
"If this is the case, the people in Zhongqing City can live and work in peace and contentment without worrying about their livelihood and illness, which is not a bad thing!"
Zhang Bao frowned, couldn't help but get up, walked around his stall a few times, then frowned and said:
"That's not right. Even if the people in Zhongqing City are rich, they still won't get sick..."
Speaking of this, Zhang Bao suddenly raised his eyebrows and said:
"Hey, I heard that the people of the Yun Kingdom respect Buddhism a lot. From time to time, when I see my elder brother wearing Taoist robes, I feel a little distrustful?"
When Zhang Liang heard this, he opened his eyes and said in agreement:
"Well, it's very possible. And this talisman water that saves people has been ruined by some magicians who cheat money. It's common sense that the people in Zhongqing City don't believe it!"
"How about brother, please change your clothes...well, why don't you change the flags and flags? Anyway, brother, your medical skills are not bad, at least you can open an operation first!"
Zhang Jiao listened to the two younger brothers talking more and more outrageously, but the smile on his lips became even wider, he shook his head and cursed with a smile:
"What's the point of opening this stall? We set up this stall so that the poor people no longer suffer from diseases. It's not a business... If I have to say it, I really hope that my medical skills can't be obtained
If you cast it, you won’t be able to send even a single disease-repelling charm!"
When Zhang Jiao said this, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were speechless and shut up in frustration.
After waiting for a while, Zhang Liang, the youngest and youngest, could no longer sit still. He stood up suddenly and said:
"I don't believe it anymore. Although Zhongqing City is at the foot of the Emperor, it is impossible that there are no poor or sick people! Brother, let me go and have a look. Even if I pull someone on the street, I will pull one back for you!"
Hearing this, Zhang Bao also stood up together and said:
"Brother, I'm going too!"
As soon as they finished speaking, the two of them ran away in a hurry before Zhang Jiao could object.
Zhang Jiao opened his mouth, then smiled gently, picked up a simple and profound scripture from the stall and read it.
Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang, who ran out happily, did not really intend to kidnap a patient back.
But the brothers have never seen a place as prosperous as Zhongqing City before, so they naturally have the intention to see it.
After sitting with their eldest brother Zhang Jakuong for a few days, the two finally couldn't bear their curiosity and found an excuse to go out and hang out.
With the growth of the power and prestige of the Yun Kingdom, Zhongqing City has become one of the best in the world, not inferior to the prosperous place of Jinling City.
And in the past few days, this year's imperial examinations have begun. Young scholars from all over the world who are ambitious, regardless of their nationality, and are determined to serve the Yun Kingdom, have poured into Zhongqing City, making Zhongqing
The city is even more prosperous.
Brothers Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang were both country bumpkins who had never seen such a scene. While wandering on the street, they thought this was interesting.
I’ve never seen that before, and I played it very hard.
Unknowingly, the two of them came to an extremely busy street corner.
I don’t know what is here, but it has attracted a large number of people to gather here.
Zhang Bao stepped forward curiously and looked inside, only to see an aloof old Taoist who also set up a simple stall and was doing divination for people.
Because they were far away and there were many people around, the two brothers couldn't hear what the old Taoist was saying. They could only see the fortune teller sitting over there, with a look of conviction and wonder on his face from time to time, and they agreed with the old Taoist's fortune-telling.
Calculate.
The two brothers originally thought that it was because the people of Yun State believed more in Buddhism that Zhang Jiao, who was dressed in Taoist clothing, was not popular.
But looking at the old Taoist priest who told fortunes in front of him was so popular, it was obviously not the case!
For a moment, the two brothers looked at each other.
Zhang Liang frowned slightly, then asked the person standing next to him:
"May I ask, what is this veteran doing? How come so many people have gathered here?"
The person being asked said excitedly:
"Haven't you heard? This immortal Jiang is so powerful! His divination skills are extremely effective. Even the sages from hundreds of schools of thought in Jixia Academy can't compare with them. There are some of these people queuing up.
There are officials and businessmen, scholars seeking academic examinations, and knights from martial arts backgrounds... They all come here because of their fame and want to ask the old gods to divine their fortunes."
Brothers Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang could not help but look at the old man carefully.
He has a transcendent aura and immortal Taoist bones. Although his cultivation level is not high, his whole body has such a strong Taoist aura that the two brothers have only seen it in their elder brother. From this look, he does not look like ordinary people, and he definitely has great abilities.
The master!
Zhang Bao came back to his senses slightly at this time, then coughed lightly and said:
"If you want to talk about such a magnanimous person, we have met one before!"
The person being spoken to couldn't help but become interested and asked one more question:
"Oh, when did another one come to this capital?"
Zhang Liang answered in a tacit understanding:
"That's the one who sets up a stall in Tianshuijing Alley and treats patients for free!"
At this time, the two brothers actually learned marketing strategies without any teachers and consciously acted as "water soldiers".
Hearing the two singing in harmony, the person being addressed thought for a moment, then clapped his hands and said:
"Ah, I remember it! Is that the guy who looks very impressive and said he was giving out free talisman water?"
"Magical stick? You..." Zhang Liang couldn't hold it back, his eyes widened and his voice became louder.
Zhang Bao grabbed his younger brother, suppressed his unhappiness, squeezed out a bit of smile, and said:
"Why is he a magic stick? This man has real skills! If you pour a bowl of talisman water, most patients will be cured immediately. Even if you are seriously ill and dying, you can still save your life!"
Zhang Bao was so steadfast in his vows that the person being addressed was slightly taken aback and said in surprise:
"Is it really that magical?"
"It's absolutely true! If you don't believe it, there are always sick people around you, just give them a try and you will know!" Zhang Liang said with his head held high.
The person being spoken to chuckled lightly, waved his hands and said:
"That's not necessary! In Zhongqing City, on the 5th, 15th, and 25th of each month, our Majesty invites the disciples of the Fang Ji family to open free clinics to diagnose and treat diseases for the people. If a poverty certificate issued by the government is issued, even
You can also get medicine for free.”
"Fang Jijia, you know it! Many of the disciples there are imperial doctors who treat our Majesty's illnesses. They are all highly skilled in medicine. Even the imperial physician Ji, who has superb medical skills and is unmatched by anyone.
Your Excellency, you often attend free clinics. So, no matter how poor the people are, they don’t need to drink talisman water..."
Ji Su, also known as Bian Que, the famous doctor in history, was determined to relieve the suffering of patients all over the world.
At the beginning, Xiao Cheng persuaded Ji Xu to stay and founded Fang Jijia in Jixia Academy out of the great righteousness of cultivating more doctors so that he could save the people of the world.
When Fang Jijia was first established, Ji Huan and Qin He often held free clinics in the city in order to establish the name of Fang Jijia so that they could recruit disciples.
This tradition has continued.
Nowadays, Ji Huan and Qin He are already well-known doctors and miracle doctors all over the world. The name of Fang Jijia is also very resounding. There are many disciples in the sect, but there is no need for free clinics to build the reputation of Fang Jijia.
.
However, this is a free clinic. It can not only save people from suffering from diseases, but also train the medical skills of the disciples. It is a great good thing, so it has not been abolished.
It has even developed to this day, and has received support from Xiao Cheng, and its scale has grown larger and larger.
Well, anyway, as long as tens of thousands of taels of silver are allocated from the internal treasury to purchase some medicinal materials every month, the hearts and minds of the people in the capital can be won over and they will be grateful for the benevolence of the emperor.
Xiao Cheng would not miss such a good deal!
At this time, Zhang Bao and Zhang Liang looked at each other, and finally understood why the three brothers had been setting up a stall for several days, but no one came to the door despite the fact that they were giving away taxes for free...
The free clinic organized by Fang Jijia and endorsed by the government is much more trustworthy than the "magic stick" like them on the street who gives out free talisman water!
