Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 321
Hearing that Zhu Youjian was going to see his grandfather, the girl was so happy that she wanted to sit up from the bed, but her body was still very stiff and she couldn't sit up at all.

Ah Qing went over to cover the girl with the quilt, patted her face and said with a smile:
"Sister, don't move for now, let's warm up first!"

"No, thank you sister for helping me up, I'm afraid grandpa won't be able to wait!"

The old man looked at the girl and sighed:
"Girl, don't worry. Although your grandfather's illness is old and hard to see, he can hold on for three or two days. Let's warm up first!"

"Oh, thank you grandpa, thank you uncle, thank you beautiful sister 1"

The little girl had a sweet mouth and thanked the old man and Zhu Youjian and Aqing one by one.

Zhu Youjian took a look at the old man's room and found that the facilities were very simple, a table, two stools, a wooden bed, and a medicine box.

Seeing a large vat in the corner, Zhu Youjian walked over and lifted the lid of the vat, and found some rice at the bottom of the vat, but not a lot, enough for one person to feed for half a month at most.

Seeing Zhu Youjian checking his rice, the old man didn't think Zhu Youjian had any intentions. Judging from his clothes, Zhu Youjian would definitely not be poor.

"Hey, that's all. I eat two porridge a day, and I can still make up for a few days."

"Two meals of porridge a day?"

Zhu Youjian was taken aback at the time. He had seen in history in his previous life that people in the late Ming Dynasty ate two meals a day in order to save food.

Wouldn’t it be porridge for these two meals? Now that the fields have been divided into households, the common people should be able to eat enough, so they won’t be still hungry, right?

Originally, he thought that he managed Daming well, but now hearing what the old man said, Zhu Youjian's heart sank suddenly. Could it be that those officials were deceiving him.

"Old man, you are a traveling doctor, you should live a good life, why do you have to eat two meals of porridge?"

The old man smiled wryly:
"I'm just a wandering doctor, not a famous doctor or a genius doctor. He can only treat some simple cases. Rich people dare not let me see them. Poor people don't have money to see a doctor, so they barely make ends meet.

Originally, it was a good thing for the emperor to carry out land reform. It is very difficult for the people to starve to death. However, with the severe drought for a long time, the autumn harvest in many places is almost zero, and the price of food is scary. If it continues, the people will starve even though they have land It's..."

"what?"

Zhu Youjian couldn't sit still any longer, and stood up abruptly. He couldn't believe what the old man said.

When dividing the fields, he distributed sweet potatoes and potato seeds, and the yield of agricultural products per mu was about [-] jin. No matter what the harvest was, he would never go hungry.

What the household department is doing, no playbook has ever been sent to Zhu Youjian, it seems that we still have to go to the countryside often to see, otherwise we don't know if the world is in chaos.

Seeing that Zhu Youjian's face suddenly became cold, the old man couldn't help shivering. He suddenly felt a terrifying majesty from the person in front of him.

How did he know that this is the authority of the emperor.

If the old man knew that the person in front of him was the Ming Emperor, the old man would probably be scared to pee when he thought of his attitude towards the emperor.

Seeing that the emperor was about to explode, Ah Qing hurriedly tugged at the corner of Zhu Youjian's clothes, and Zhu Youjian calmed down, but he still had the feeling of wanting to kill someone.

"Ah Qing, let's go back."

"Uncle, aren't you going to see my grandpa?"

Zhu Youjian immediately wanted to go back to the household department to settle the accounts, but the girl burst into tears when she heard that he was leaving. "

Zhu Youjian was a little embarrassed for a while:
"This... go, uncle forgot, how far is your home from here?"

"Not far, about a mile!"

The girl burst into tears immediately, because her grandfather was sick and could not be cured, and the girl also went to the doctor when she was sick. Regardless of whether the uncle in front of her would see a doctor or not, she wanted him to give it a try.

"Boom..."

"Let's go now!"

Zhu Youjian had something on his mind and didn't want to wait any longer, so he took out an ingot of silver and threw it on the old man's broken table, wrapped the girl in a quilt, picked it up and left.

Ah Qing secretly smiled, and also pulled the little boy to follow behind Zhu Youjian.

It wasn't until the four of them walked away that the old man realized that he hurriedly picked up the silver and wanted to chase Zhu Youjian, but Zhu Youjian had already stepped on his horse and left.

Looking at the white money in his hand, the old man was immediately elated:

"My God, I actually gave you two taels of silver for a broken quilt. You are really rich! I don't have to eat porridge for the time being, hahaha..."

Zhu Youjian was holding the girl, Ah Qing was holding the boy, and the two horses soon came to a dilapidated private house, which was a village on the outskirts of the city.

After the four dismounted, the little boy ran into the room first, and the girl was held by Zhu Youjian and couldn't get off the ground. After all, she was 15 years old and looked very shy.

"Uncle, when we arrive, grandpa will be in the house."

"Well, let's go in."

Zhu Youjian entered the room with the girl in his arms, and immediately an unpleasant smell came over him. He hurriedly held his breath and looked around.

The room was dark, the window was blocked with a piece of rag, from time to time there was cold air coming in, there were two wooden beds against the wall, and an old man was lying on one of them.

When Zhu Youjian and others came in, the old man didn't respond, as if he had fallen into a coma.

Zhu Youjian put the girl on another bed, then took out two masks, gave one to Ah Qing, and put one on himself, so that the smell would be milder.

It's hard to believe that these two siblings live in such an environment. Zhu Youjian feels sore in his heart. They are all his people, ashamed!

Zhu Youjian stood in front of the old man and observed. The old man was full of beards and couldn't see his face clearly.

To see a doctor for the elderly does not require him to personally test, just use the system to scan directly, so Zhu Youjian began to communicate with the system with his thoughts:
"The system checks the old man's condition."

"Ding, the system is starting up, please wait a moment, the host!"

"Ding, the system is detecting..."

"Ding, the system detects successfully. Cerebral malaria is an infectious disease. The main transmission route is mosquito bites and contact blood transmission."

"Holy shit, this is not only contagious, but also has a high mortality rate. Fortunately, it is winter and there are no mosquitoes, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable. I don't know if the siblings are infected."

Hearing that it was malaria, Zhu Youjian was taken aback, and just said shit, which stunned Ah Qing and the three of them, and they all looked at Zhu Youjian nervously.

Zhu Youjian ignored the three of them, and asked again:

"Is it serious? How to heal?"

"Ding, of course it's serious. The gods won't be able to save it in two days, but it's a piece of cake for the system. The artemisinin discovered by Tu Youyou can cure it."

"System, treat immediately."

"Ding, host wait a moment..."

"Ding, the medicine has been prepared and put into a syringe. The host only needs to give the patient an intramuscular injection. One injection will be effective and consume [-] points."

"Nima..."

In terms of the system, let Zhu Youjian scold the street directly, and one injection is equivalent to 10 taels of silver, which is completely robbery.

In order to save an old man who is already old, it is not worth it. It is better to give it to the brother and sister directly, and they can live comfortably for a lifetime.

Looking back at the expectant eyes of the girl and the boy, Zhu Youjian gritted his teeth cruelly, and spent [-] points to redeem the syringe, and there was indeed a tube full of medicine in it.
