Chapter 489 Semi-Official Organization
The conference was held at the Barefoot Clinic General Pavilion, which was rebuilt from the largest clinic handed over by Du Yan. The clinic is located in Nancheng and has a wide courtyard where the establishment conference banquet is located.
In addition to all the members of the foundation, Zuo Shaoyang also sent a post to invite guests from all walks of life, including calligrapher Ouyang Xun, Sun Simiao and his eight disciples, old genius Xu Yinzong and his apprentices, Zhen Liyan and Zhen Quan and their sons, Shang Yaofengyu Hao Hai, Peng Bing, Chang'an County Magistrate and Peng County Wei, Imperial Physician Ling He Ze and other senior officials of the Imperial Physician Office, Medical Supervisor Liao of Southeast Medical Center, Old Master Zhai, Master Qiao and his son Qiao Guan, Zhu Yaogu, Yaoshang Store's Cannon Manager, Tao Storekeeper, Zhen Quan's son Zhen Xuan, and Zuo Shaoyang's Jinshi, etc., the top scholar in the medical examination of the East Palace Pharmacy Bureau, and the Lizheng of various lifangs, representatives of poor people who enjoy free medical treatment, etc.
In addition, according to Ma Zhou's suggestion, many retired officials in the capital who were kind and generous, were specially invited, including celebrities and wealthy families. The yard was filled with people, and hundreds of banquets were placed.
Honorary President Du Yan also took his son to attend the meeting. His illness quickly improved under Zuo Shaoyang's treatment. After a period of time, he had basically recovered. In order to minimize his influence, Zuo Shaoyang did not arrange for him to speak this time.
The guests arrived and the banquet was ready. When Zuo Shaoyang was about to announce the establishment of the barefoot clinic, he suddenly heard the gongs and drums, and the drums and music were heard, and a group of people came in.
When Sun Simiao, Peng Bing and others saw it, they were both surprised and happy, but it turned out to be the eunuch Luo, the personal eunuch next to the emperor! He brought a team of big guards and eunuchs of all sizes and big and small, and looked at a plaque!
Zuo Shaoyang didn't know Eunuch Luo, and Sun Simiao next to him was surprised to say this to him. What was the eunuch next to the emperor doing at this time? He turned his head and saw Du Yan, and saw him sitting there with his beard twisted and smiling, with a bit proud expression. He immediately understood that this was probably arranged by this old guy secretly. Could he want to do something?
Before he could figure it out, Eunuch Luo was already holding a golden scroll, standing in the middle, and whispered loudly: "The imperial edict is here! Please accept the edict by the president of the 'Barefoot Foundation'!"
Zuo Shaoyang was surprised and happy, and looked at Sun Simiao again: "Senior brother, is it...will you ask me to accept the order?"
Sun Simiao said happily: "Of course it's you, hurry up and kneel down and accept the order!"
Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly walked up, imitating the appearance of the costume TV series, knelt down with his clothes and was about to speak, but he didn't know how to claim himself, saying "Secretary"? He has resigned and said "Below..." That was used by people from the world. It was unstable and said "villain"? It was too humble and didn't want to say "grass and civilians"? He is now the president of the dignified Barefoot Foundation with hundreds of thousands of tons of chunks of wealth, and it is not suitable. What should I say?
Before he could make up, Eunuch Luo said to Du Yan again: "Mr. Du, you are the honorary president and you must accept the order!"
Du Yan's smile became even stronger, but his face looked shocked. He quickly got up and put on his crown and robe, walked to Zuo Shaoyang, and knelt down with his robe, and smiled slightly at Zuo Shaoyang.
Zuo Shaoyang was a little depressed. Why did he have to accept the order? Could it be that the emperor also gave him benefits?
Eunuch Luo unfolded the golden scroll, shook his head with a sharp voice, and the parallel prose was really difficult to understand. Zuo Shaoyang was pricking his ears and only listened to it. It meant to praise Zuo Shaoyang as a benevolent doctor who benefits the people. He specially ordered Zuo Shaoyang to be the "Chaosan Doctor". He also wrote a plaque "Battlefoot Foundation" inscribed in the imperial pen and rewarded them with a piece.
Among the officials in the Tang Dynasty, the lowest level of the official position was Chaosan Doctor. Although it was the lowest level, it was from the fifth level and its rank was still very high, equivalent to a department-level cadre. However, the level of this Doctor was only a scattered official, which means that he only enjoyed the level, had no power, and did not care about the affairs.
Zuo Shaoyang resigned from a medical officer who was from the ninth grade, but received a Sanguan from a fifth grade, Chaosan doctor. It was really a bit of luck.
He already knew that the officials of the country do not need to be in charge of business, but only enjoy treatment. Since they do not care about business and have no power, there is no problem of fighting for power and profit. It would be fine. He is not as noble as Sun Simiao, and he doesn't even want a title. He thinks that the officials are OK, at least they can satisfy the official family's addiction.
The last time I resigned, my father didn't know, but he would definitely be furious if he knew about it. Now, the middle and senior cadres who have been promoted to the fifth rank, my father will definitely be smiling from ear to ear.
Why did the emperor enthrone himself a scattered official from the fifth rank? In other words, what ability did the emperor like to see him? After thinking about it, he could only open his chest and heal his injuries. However, some time ago, his senior brother Sun Simiao talked about his medical skills in front of the emperor and the treatment of cough and asthma for Peng Bing, which could help Peng Bing recover health in a short time. These things may be known from various ways and appreciated him, so he gave this official. He was thinking about his thoughts, and Du Yan next to him whispered to Zuo Shaoyang: "President Zuo, congratulations!"
Zuo Shaoyang snorted and ignored him.
Eunuch Luo then recited the imperial edict. After the imperial edict, Du Yan highly praised the grand act of treating money like dirt, and making money for his righteousness, and taking out all his family's duties to cure the people. In order to commend him, he specially appointed him as the "Prince's Young Master".
The crown prince’s grand tutor, the crown prince’s grand tutor, and the crown prince’s grand tutor are all titles of the crown prince’s teachers. The crown prince teaches culture, the crown prince teaches martial arts, and the crown prince’s grand tutor is responsible for the safety of the crown prince. These three are collectively called the “Three Divisions” and are from the first rank. At the same time, the crown prince’s young master, the crown prince’s young master, and the crown prince’s young master as the deputy positions of the third division, collectively known as the “Three Division” second rank.
Of course, during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the third master and the third master were just given titles, and they were not certainly the prince's teacher. However, as an honor, it was supreme glory. Du Yan exchanged the honor of the young master for 300,000 yuan, and jumped from the third-rank rank suppose that the second-rank rank prince's young master. These 300,000 yuan was worth it.
When Zuo Shaoyang heard this, he couldn't help but turn his head to look at Du Yan. He saw a smile on his lips, looking very proud, and he was even more angry. He thought that he had slandered him and had dispersed more than 300,000 yuan of wealth, but he could not have thought that he used the 300,000 yuan of wealth to exchange for the emperor's favor and became the prince's teacher. I don't know if he had slandered him or helped him.
Then, he thought again, why did the emperor want to enthrone his official position and add Du Yan's official position and announce it in an imperial edict? Could it be that there is another profound meaning in hope?
Eunuch Luo seemed to see Zuo Shaoyang's distractedness, thrust for a moment, coughed gently, and finally called Zuo Shaoyang's thoughts back.
In the imperial edict of Eunuch Luo, he praised the establishment of this foundation that benefits the people, and specially allocated 40,000 acres of official land to the foundation in Zuo Shaoyang, respectively, in Youzhou to the north, Suzhou to the east, Yongzhou to the south, and Yuzhou to the west, each. He went to the Ministry of Revenue to handle relevant procedures.
After hearing this news, Zuo Shaoyang was overjoyed. The emperor rewarded 40,000 acres of fertile land, which greatly increased the strength of the barefoot clinic.
After Eunuch Luo read out the imperial edict, Zuo Shaoyang and Du Yan thanked each other, got up and took over the imperial edict.
Eunuch Luo waved and asked someone to carry the plaque over. It was written by the emperor Li Shimin. Zuo Shaoyang tilted his head for a long time and thought that Li Shimin's calligraphy was pretty good, and it was two different styles than his father Zuo Zuo. His father's steady and restrainedness, Li Shimin's sword was tense and very flamboyant, and his pen was really as sharp as a human being. He quickly lifted the plaque on the altar and offered it.
Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly called Eunuch Luo and others to come to the chairman for a drink.
At this time, Ma Zhou said to Zuo Shaoyang: "President, we have to take this opportunity to attract some donations. It's a great time...
"Okay, how do you pull it?"
"I'll do it later!...
"Okay!... Zuo Shaoyang nodded, thought for a while, and said, "You can tell them that it is best to donate land. For those with less than ten acres, you can register and leave your name on the foundation donation list. For those with ten acres to one hundred acres, you can leave your name on the stone tablet of the main hall. For those with one hundred acres to one thousand acres, you can commend a single independent monument in the stele forest of the main hall; for those with one thousand acres to ten thousand acres, in addition to a single independent monument, you will also become honorary members of the foundation; for those with more than ten thousand acres, you will be listed as honorary presidents, and you can send personnel to participate in the foundation management, and you can attend the foundation meeting yourself."
Ma Zhou nodded and said, "This is a good method!"
After the two hurriedly decided, Zuo Shaoyang took the stage first and announced the official establishment of the foundation.
Suddenly, drums and music were sounding, gongs and drums were noisy, and it was very lively.
Then, Zuo Shaoyang read out the list of members of the foundation, first talked about the importance of the foundation and the purpose of its establishment, expressed deep gratitude to the emperor for his enthronement and rewards, and then asked the poor representatives who enjoyed free medical treatment to come on stage to speak. His tears of emotion made everyone present whisper.
Next, Vice President Ma Zhou made a speech.
Ma Zhou walked onto the stage, looked around, first praised the emperor's love for the people like his son and compassion for the people, and then introduced the miserable situation of the poor people lacking medical treatment and medicine in a very sensational way. Finally, he used very inspiring words to call on everyone to donate actively. Then the registration and honor of the donation was announced, and the buzzing sounds below were heard.
When Ma Zhou spoke on the stage, the retired officials, wealthy celebrities, and wealthy merchants all drank a lot of wine. Seeing that the emperor had given donations, he had to express his opinion.
Zhen Liyan has been dismissed and has become a civilian. This time, he and his brother Zhen Quan also attended the founding meeting. Although he was beaten thirty rods, the execution officials knew that the emperor's intention was just to express it and gained benefits from the Zhen family. Therefore, the thirty rods were knocked down and they were swollen, but they were not even broken. They were healed after lying on the bed for a few days. Zhen Quan's chest injury healed very quickly and could walk slowly. This time, they brought their son and disciples to attend the founding meeting.
