Chapter 490 Come uninvited

After hearing Ma Zhou's encouragement, the people below were talking, but there was no one who took the lead, so they didn't even stand up to express their opinions. Zhen Quan's life was saved by Zuo Shaoyang, and was very grateful. After drinking a few more glasses of wine, his mind was a little hot. In addition, his Zhen family has been practicing medicine in Beijing for decades and has accumulated a lot of property. I heard that Du Yan is now the honorary president and is unwilling to lose to him. After discussing with his younger brother Zhen Liyan, he stood up and said, "I donated 12,000 acres of fertile land!"

At that time, the price of land had risen to eight cents per mu, and the value of these 12,000 mu of fertile land was nearly one hundred thousand cents!

As soon as this statement was spoken, there was an uproar in the audience. I didn't expect Zhen Quan to take such a big move.

Ma Zhou was even more happy. He had prepared a list of donations and hurriedly held it over and asked Zhen Quan to write down his name and pledge amount on the spot. After the seat, he could go to handle the specific donation matters.

Zhen Liyan did not receive direct assistance from Zuo Shaoyang, but was still very grateful to Zuo Shaoyang for saving his brother. At the same time, the emperor pardoned the two of them for their guilt. Now the emperor has donated to the Barefoot Foundation. If he doesn't express his feelings, he seems to have let down the emperor's grace. So he stood up and said aloud: "I also donated..., this, five thousand acres of fertile land!"

He is no better than Zhen Quan. He has been an official in court and is less effective than Zhen Quan for outsiders. He is just a medical official, so he naturally earns less money than Zhen Quan, so he cannot compare with him. However, these 5,000 acres of fertile land are also a considerable amount, which has attracted everyone's surprise.

With the two of them starting, the others naturally followed. Next, you 1,000 acres and I 500 acres, all of them were yelling to donate.

Zuo Shaoyang and others smiled, but Du Yan's smile looked a little fake. Obviously, the result of the donation of this crowd was somewhat beyond his expectations. He originally hoped that he was the only donor of the foundation, but he didn't expect that there were so many more people now. After a rough calculation, the total amount of fertile land donated by the emperor and the crowd was almost 100,000 acres.

Ma Zhou was responsible for these specific things. At this moment, Zuo Shaoyang realized that Ma Zhou was not a nerd, but was good at dealing with various complex situations and was very good at socializing. He soon became familiar with the celebrities and powerful people in the venue. Everyone gave him the vice president face. He kept toasting, then drank, and signed donations one by one.

Zuo Shaoyang was very calm. With the help of Ma Zhou, the future prime minister, what else could he do?

Eunuch Luo came to announce the imperial edict, so he took the lead, and the two presidents Zuo Shaoyang and Du Yan and the honorary president were talking with each other.

After drinking a few glasses of wine, Eunuch Luo smiled and said to Zuo Shaoyang: "President Zuo, do you know why the emperor wants to enthrone you and Lord Du at the same time?"

Zuo Shaoyang felt a little sad. He was still thinking about this just now. From the words in Eunuch Luo's words, it really had a deep meaning. He hurriedly bowed and smiled and said, "The emperor's holy intention, I dare not guess it."

Eunuch Luo looked at Du Yan again: "Does Lord Du know?"

Du Yan looked frightened and bowed, "The emperor is very kind to Weichen and Lord Zuo. A few days ago, Weichen and Lord Zuo misunderstood, which made him a little unhappy. I am afraid that the emperor still knows about this matter. This time, the same order is enthroned, and it must be because the emperor wants to use this method to make Weichen and Lord Zuo reconcile."

Eunuch Luo nodded frequently: "That's right! The emperor was very concerned when he learned that the two adults had a conflict. He said that as a censor, Lord Du was upright and upright. The more than 40 people recommended this time were elites. After seeing this, the emperor was very pleased and had already used them. Although Lord Du was a little sick, he had a great deal of treatment with a miracle doctor like Lord Zuo. He was a person who relied on the country and the country. Lord Zuo's medical skills were not inferior to his senior brother Sun Simiao's old miracle doctor, especially this time he treated Zhen Quan.

, The slits of the chest and lungs, who can be used to have such magical skills besides the magical doctor Hua Tuo of the Three Kingdoms? The emperor was deeply pleased with the magical skills of my Tang Dynasty. This time, Lord Du paid money and Lord Zuo worked hard to establish this "Barefoot Foundation" to deliver medical treatment and medicine to the working people. It is really a rare act of kindness. The emperor ignored the two of them and was deeply pleased with each other. Therefore, the imperial pen wrote this plaque in person, allowing the two adults to work together from now on, and each of them will do their own way for the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty."

Du Yan hurriedly bowed and bowed: "Yes, I am remembering the emperor's teachings."

Eunuch Luo looked at Zuo Shaoyang, and Zuo Shaoyang had no choice but to clasp his fists and said, "I remember it."

"Very good! Come on, you two have a cup of respect. Whether it is misunderstandings or hatreds in the past, they have been eliminated. From now on, the two presidents will work together to share honor and disgrace!"

Du Yan quickly agreed, picked up the cup, and said to Zuo Shaoyang: "The emperor's teachings are engraved in my heart. Come on, Lord Zuo, I wish you a cup!"

Zuo Shaoyang didn't want to serve this glass of wine, but he didn't have the courage to not give the emperor a face. So he picked up the glass, didn't say anything, and drank the wine in a muffled voice.

Du Yan also drank dry wine.

Eunuch Luo grabbed the wrists of the two with one hand and laughed: "That's right. When we go back, we can give the emperor an explanation. Hahaha."

At this time, Xu Yinzong, Peng Bing, Old Master Qu, Qiao Guan and other officials, as well as Sun Simiao, Zhen Quan, Zhen Liyan and other old miracle doctors, and Qu Ming, who were on the same list of Jinshi, came to toast Du Yan and Zuo Shaoyang in turn to express their congratulations.

After Peng Bing toasted Zuo Shaoyang, he held his hand and was overjoyed: "Brother, I felt very sorry for you when you resigned last time, but I had to resign after resigning from the small sesame official under the ninth rank. Now, OK, the emperor has given you an official position. You took the exam for the last time, and you can resign if you want to. This time, it is rewarded by the emperor. If you want to resign, you will have to think about it. Hahaha."

Mr. Qiao and Qiao Guan and his son came to toast. Last time Zuo Shaoyang resigned, Mr. Qiao was very unhappy. When he married his daughter to him, he was his official position. He didn't expect that he would resign without saying a word, which made Mr. Qiao so angry that he didn't want to see them. Now, the emperor rewarded officials, and he was an official from the fifth rank, which was something that Mr. Qiao could never dream of. The ancestors of the Qiao family, whom Mr. Qiao had always been proud of, had only been a fifth rank in the Sui Dynasty. Zuo Shaoyang became an official from the fifth rank at a young age. Although he was just a scattered official, he had a bright future.

Thinking about it, my ancestors did not receive the emperor's inscriptions by the emperor. Zuo Shaoyang became the president of a foundation worth hundreds of thousands of yuan. The emperor even wrote inscriptions and commended them himself. How could such honor be achieved by our ancestors?

So, when Mr. Qiao came over, his face was full of laughter, and he nodded and bowed to toast Zuo Shaoyang.

Zhen Quan has become the honorary president of the foundation because the number of donations reached 10,000 mu, while Zhen Liyan has donated 5,000 mu and has become an honorary member. They are all from the foundation. However, Zhen Quan and Zhen Liyan have a smile on their faces toasting Zuo Shaoyang, but they have no smirks. Du Yan didn't care at all, as if they had nothing to celebrate with them, but instead raised their glasses to return.

Just as the truth is true and false, what was the joy of eating at this banquet? The president Zuo Shaoyang and Du Yan became the main targets for everyone toast. Zuo Shaoyang's medical skills were already shocked by the entire capital, and now he is the president of the hundreds of thousands of fertile fields foundation. Moreover, what shocked everyone the most was that the emperor issued an order to confer him a Chaosan doctor from the fifth rank. The president Zuo Shaoyang and Du Yan, the honorary president, are both court officials. There are also donations from the emperor's 40,000 acres of land in this foundation, plus the donation of land by a number of officials, so the barefoot foundation has actually become a semi-official institution.

When Zuo Shaoyang returned to Xu Yinzong, Sun Simiao and the four old miracle doctors, he gave them a suggestion: Can I take a few days a month to get out and treat poor people freely in the barefoot clinic, and also expand the reputation of the clinic.

The four old miracle doctors were all people with noble medical ethics, so how could they disagree with such a request? They agreed immediately, and after discussion, they decided on the spot that on the next five days (fifth, fifteenth, twenty-fiveth of each month), the four of them went to several barefoot clinics in Beijing for free for free.

As the wine was over, the attendant outside the main hall who was greeting guests hurriedly ran in and reported to Zuo Shaoyang: "President Zuo, Prime Minister Du Ruhui, is here!"

Zuo Shaoyang was shocked. This time he sent an invitation, he did not invite Du Ruhui. The reason was very simple. Du Ruhui was suffering from tuberculosis, that is, tuberculosis, which is an infectious disease and is not suitable for people in gatherings. Unexpectedly, Du Ruhui came uninvited. Zuo Shaoyang hurriedly took Ma Zhou out.

Du Ruhui was still sitting on a soft couch, carried by his servants. Although the people of the Tang Dynasty knew the infectiousness of tuberculosis, tuberculosis was not an acute infectious disease like the plague, but a chronic infectious disease. It only took a long time to get sick after infection, so people did not know that it had been infected. Therefore, they lacked enough understanding of the way tuberculosis was transmitted through corpses after death and would not be transmitted between people, so they called tuberculosis "corpse injection" or "corpse transmission". It is precisely because of this that Du Ruhui did not know that his illness would infect others, so he sat on a soft couch to attend the party.

Zuo Shaoyang bowed and bowed: "Prime Minister Du!"

Du Ruhui smiled and nodded: "President Zuo, I came here uninvited, a little abrupt, but I must come and see such a grand event."

"Thank you!" Zuo Shaoyang invited Du Ruhui to the chairman. He is currently the highest-ranking official in the court, and is actually the top-ranking official in the court with less than one person and more than ten thousand people. Naturally, he was the chief.

After Du Ruhui and Eunuch Luo waited for the ceremony, someone poured a glass of wine and said to Zuo Shaoyang: "Mr. Zuo, I am not feeling well. I will not drink other wines. I will only wish you three cups. - This first cup, congratulations to your foundation on the establishment of this. This is a great charity for the benefit of the people. I hope you can do it well! Let more poor people receive medical assistance!"
