Chapter 1016: Conferring the Crown Prince (1)
July of the 29th year of Shengwu in the Great Jin Kingdom
Three major events happened in the prosperous and bustling capital. These three major events made the people run around to tell each other. On the streets and alleys, after dinner, everyone talked about these three things.
The first thing was that the emperor appointed the legitimate prince Nangong Yi as the crown prince, moved to the East Palace, and temporarily acted as the government.
The second thing was that the Khan of Mengnu led his people to surrender in Beijing, presented the map of Lingbei and tribute, and swore to submit to the Great Jin forever and be loyal to the Great Jin.
The third thing was that a "Yishantang" medical clinic was opened in the capital, providing free medical treatment and medicine for the poor who could not afford it, which aroused praise from the people...
These three things caused a strong sensation among the people.
The first thing was about state affairs, and not many people dared to discuss it without authorization, but there were some bold people who whispered behind the scenes that the emperor intended to abdicate to the prince and practice Taoism, because the emperor had seen a real immortal a few days ago, got the help of the immortal, and escaped death, so he yearned for practicing Taoism more and more.
Now, the emperor didn't even care about state affairs, and forced the prince to ascend the throne every day so that he could practice Taoism with all his heart. But the prince didn't want to ascend the throne so early, and wanted to live a comfortable and leisurely life for a few years. For this reason, the father and son argued about it every day, making the whole palace restless...
The second thing was the gratifying surrender of Lingbei. Lingbei was originally the land of Dajin, and it was occupied by the Mengnu people for more than a hundred years. Now it has been recovered, and the leader of the Mengnu people came to surrender in person, which really made the people of Dajin proud and excited.
What made everyone even more excited was that the Mengnu people brought something called glass. It is said that the glass is installed on the window as window paper, but it is much stronger than window paper. It can't be broken by wind, it's okay if it gets wet, and it can keep warm. The most important thing is that it is transparent, more transparent than Korean paper. It looks like there is nothing between you and the other side. When it is installed on the window, the room is bright, and the sun's light is not wasted at all, and it all shines into the room!
However, such a rare thing can only be used by the emperor. The people can only hear about it and take a look at it if they are lucky. They dare not think that they will be able to use glass one day!
The third thing is simply the gospel of poor people. The opening of Yishantang Clinic allows many poor people to see a doctor.
Because of poverty, many people have to hold on when they are sick and cannot go to the clinic to see a doctor and get medicine. Many people die because they have no money to see a doctor and take medicine. The good deed of opening Yishantang Clinic is simply the reincarnation of Guanyin Bodhisattva, coming to save all living beings, and it gives those poor people who are sick and have no money to treat hope of life!
Of course, the owner of Yishantang was not easy to fool. The management was very strict. The head shopkeeper was a young man named Mo Liancheng. Although Mo was young, he was very impartial. He could tell who was really poor and who was pretending to be poor to cheat doctors and medicines at a glance. He was so accurate that it was scary. Those who cheated doctors and medicines were sent to Yingtian Prefecture by him. They were beaten by the prefect of Yingtian Prefecture and almost lost half their lives. From then on, no one dared to cheat in Yishantang...
For exactly half a month, the people were discussing these three things. When two familiar people met, they would mention one of these three things within three sentences.
And a certain woman who was closely related to these three things has been very busy recently. Her Yishantang opened, and the pawnshop also opened. In addition to the pastry shop, cloth shop, restaurant, treasure pavilion, ginseng shop, all in all, there are nearly ten shops, and she has to spend a lot of energy to manage them every day.
