"Young Master, here's the sesame cake you wanted!"
On the streets of Yongle Lane, Li Zexuan saw that there was more than one vendor by the roadside. On a whim, he asked San Bao to buy him a sesame cake. Since he hadn't eaten his fill in the afternoon, he wanted to try the sesame cake from the Tang Dynasty!
(More than half of the mutton from lunch went into Li Tai's stomach.)
Li Zexuan took the sesame cake from San Bao. It was slightly hot to the touch. He opened it and took a sniff. He smelled the aroma of roasted flour and sesame. He smiled and said to San Bao, "Alright! Let's go to Yunshan! "
After that, he boarded the horse carriage and was ready to enjoy the authentic Tang Dynasty sesame cake in the carriage!
"Alright! Young Master! "
San Bao replied. Soon, the horse carriage started moving again.
Most of the roads from Chang 'an to Yunshan were paved with cement. The road was wide and flat. The horse carriage sped along and arrived at Yunshan in less than half an hour.
Li Zexuan had already finished his sesame cake. He got off the horse carriage and walked towards the third courtyard where Sun Simiao was staying.
The courtyard was very lively. Other than Hu Jing, Professor Wang, Professor Qin, and their two disciples were all there.
"Yo! Yamachō is here! "
In the courtyard, Professor Wang, Professor Qin, and the rest greeted Li Zexuan when they saw him.
"Mm! It's quite lively here today! "
Li Zexuan smiled and greeted everyone. He then looked at Sun Simiao and asked, "Taoist Master Sun, I heard that you were looking for me?"
Sun Simiao stroked his beard and smiled. "Yes, there is! Xiao Xuan, take a seat first! "
Li Zexuan found a stool and sat down. Sun Simiao continued, "Xiao Xuan, recently, the students of Yanhuang College went down the mountain to help those in need. I've heard about it. I'm very glad that Taoism has a junior like you!"
Li Zexuan was stunned. Sun Simiao's words meant that he thought that he was doing so much to increase the reputation of the Dao Sect? However, the actual situation was not like that. He had asked his students to do this because he could not stand the sight of so many poor people around him. In addition, it was also convenient for his students to gain experience. He had never thought of increasing the reputation of Daoism.
Although he was also a member of the Dao Sect and had a good impression of the Dao Sect, those were two different things. When he was doing this, he did not have such thoughts!
"Priest Sun, I just want to help the poor people around me. This has nothing to do with factions!"
"Haha! No matter, no matter! Being compassionate to others and forgiving to others, you have done this after all! "
Sun Simiao waved his hand with a smile and said, "Little Xuan, you're leading your students to do good deeds at the foot of the mountain, but I can't always be idle on the mountain. She actually told me an idea yesterday. I think it's not bad, so I want to share it with you!"
Li Zexuan's eyes flashed. He smiled and said, "Priest Sun, you want to go down the mountain to provide free medical treatment for the poor people, right?"
Actually, free medical treatment had a long history. At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, there was a plague epidemic in Changsha. The governor of Changsha, Zhang Zhongjing, who was also known as the "Medical Sage" by later generations, personally sat in the court and provided free medical treatment for the people. Since then, doctors in ancient times were known as "sitting in the court" when treating patients!
Sun Simiao nodded with a smile and said, "Haha! That's right! I have the same idea! Little Xuan, what do you think? "
"Yamachō, now that the academy is on holiday, and we have nothing important to do at the academy, we would also like to provide free medical treatment with Doctor Sun! Just treat it as giving our two students a chance to gain experience! "
Professor Qin interrupted at this time.
Li Zexuan frowned and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "No problem! Priest Sun, Professor Wang, Professor Qin, if you want to go down the mountain to provide free medical treatment for the people, I support! When the time comes, all the medical expenses will be covered by the Warm Tang Foundation! Also, the academy's guards can go down the mountain with you, so you can take care of each other when the time comes! "
These people were all old antiques in the academy. It was not an exaggeration to say that they were the living treasures of the Tang Empire. Li Zexuan was not at ease with them going down the mountain to provide free medical treatment. What if a few "unruly" pestered them endlessly and hurt them?
"Haha! Since this is Little Xuan's good intentions, then this poor Daoist will not decline! I plan to follow Brother Qin, Brother Wang, and the others to the twenty-two surrounding provinces and counties. I will also stay near the county government of each province and county for a day, so I hope that Little Xuan can help me spread this news in advance on Datang Daily, so that the poor people who need medical treatment will not miss it! "
This last sentence was Sun Simiao's main purpose. He did not look for Li Zexuan for the "medical expenses". He thought back to when he was wandering the world alone, with no one to "sponsor" him with medicinal herbs. Didn't he save so many poor people by himself?
The main reason was that he now had two Xing Lin experts by his side to help him. He wanted to save as many poor people as he could, so he needed Li Zexuan to help him advertise on Datang Daily. If not for this, he would have already brought Hu Jing down the mountain to provide free medical treatment!
Li Zexuan smiled and said, "Alright! Priest Sun, tell me about your free medical treatment itinerary in a while, then I will ask Mr. Ma to put it in the most prominent position on Datang Daily! As for the county yamen, I'll send someone to contact them. In my opinion, you might as well do a volunteer clinic in the county yamen. It's winter, and it's not a good idea to do a volunteer clinic on the streets! "
Sun Simiao waved his hands and said, "No need, no need! We can't delay the local government from handling the case! I have been living in the open all these years and I am used to it! "
Li Zexuan said, "How can you do that? It is almost the New Year, and the local government probably won't have any cases. Besides, didn't the Medical Sage do the same back then? It even became a story that was passed down from generation to generation! It's settled then! "
In Li Zexuan's opinion, if a god-like figure like Sun Simiao went to the counties to provide free medical treatment for the people, the county officials would be very happy! Because in their areas of jurisdiction, fewer people would die of illness, and for them, their political achievements would be much better!
After settling this matter, Li Zexuan went down the mountain directly and went to the workshop to find Ma Zhou. Since he had promised Sun Simiao, he had to help advertise this free medical treatment in the newspaper.
When he arrived at the workshop, Li Zexuan found Ma Zhou in the editorial department of Datang Daily and told him about Sun Simiao's free medical treatment plan in detail. After hearing it, Ma Zhou agreed.
In the end, Ma Zhou said with a smile, "Marquis, something interesting has happened at Datang Daily recently!"
"What is it?"
Li Zexuan asked curiously.
"Two days ago, the authors of 'Zhang Xiaohua's Biography of a Cultivator' and 'The Long Way to Immortality' came to find me. They said that they wanted to donate all the money they received this month and next month to the Nuan Tang Foundation! From this, you can see how influential the Nuan Tang Foundation is now! "
