Chapter 293 We have worked hard for most of our lives, and we can't enjoy it for a few days! (monthly ticket)

Zhu Yunxi helped him up from the ground, and comforted him softly.

"In the future, you can take care of Grandpa Huang with peace of mind. San Dezi and I will take care of the old-age care, and you will never be left alone."

Qin Deshun was completely moved by Zhu Yunxie, money or not was the second priority, mainly because Zhu Yunxie's words touched his heart.

Aren't these rootless eunuchs afraid that they will be kicked out when they are too old to work, and they will be left on the street to freeze and starve to death?
Now with Zhu Yunxi's words, Qin Deshun's old age will be guaranteed!
"Slave... slave... woo woo woo..."

"Okay!"

"Eunuch Qin, please be moved slowly, don't cry too much, just forget about my grandpa!"

"I will go out to deal with state affairs first, and I will come to the emperor's grandfather's bed to perform my filial piety later."

"Alas!"

"Take care, grandson of the Three Emperors!"

Zhu Yunxi left the bedroom and ordered people to set up several stoves and screens in front of Qianqing Palace.

He didn't speak until he saw that everyone was silent.

"Is it all over?"

"Listen to me when you're done quarreling."

"Cow must be bought, but it is not limited to Yingtianfu, it can be extended to the entire Gyeonggi region, and even neighboring provinces can also be considered."

"Don't talk about empty talk and big talk for the common people, for the court."

"For the common people, farming cattle is the sky and the family's livelihood."

"If smallpox really spreads and spreads, no one can escape, no matter the high or the low, no matter the age."

"It's not the people who benefit the most, but you officials and us royal nobles!"

"How many wives do ordinary people have, how many meals of wine and meat can they eat, and how many houses can they live in?"

"It is you who are officials, and royal nobles like me who can have three wives and four concubines, can eat big fish and meat, and can live in high-rise buildings!"

"It's because we haven't enjoyed this world enough, not ordinary people!"

After Zhu Yunxi finished speaking, all the officials present fell silent.Those who just argued with Chen Zongli and others were so ashamed that they wished they could find a crack in the ground and sneak in.

If someone else said this, they would have drowned him with their saliva.

But these words were spoken by Zhu Yunxi, the hottest grandson of the Ming Dynasty and the most powerful contender for the future throne.

He stood up and said such a thing, which is really irrefutable.

Qi Tai's face turned red and then white, and then he knelt on the ground.

"Weichen knew he was wrong!"

"From now on, I must remember the teachings of the three emperors and grandsons, and always put the interests of the people first!"

With Qi Tai taking the lead, the other officials also knelt down in unison, admitting their mistakes to Zhu Yunxi, and expressing their submission to Zhu Yunxi by the way.

If it is said that they obeyed Zhu Yunxi's order before, it was because he represented the emperor and the imperial power.

So from this moment on, the kingly aura exuded from Zhu Yunxi still made them involuntarily worship him.

Zhu Yunxi didn't have so many thoughts, seeing that everyone was honest, he continued to talk on his own.

"Money is easy to handle!"

"Some are rich and afraid of death."

"The announcement will be posted tomorrow. The imperial court has invented a new preventive method, which can effectively prevent smallpox. The emperor and the emperor's grandson agreed to use it!"

Everyone listened attentively, but what made them depressed was that Zhu Yunxi stopped talking here.

"and then?"

"Then no!"

"Just tell them a word, but you can mention it by the way, saying that the number of new vaccines is limited, and it is impossible to promote it to the whole people."

"We don't need to worry about the rest, they naturally know where to spend their money!"

All the officials were stunned when they heard this, and only a few smart ghosts guessed what the grandson was thinking.

For example, Chen Zongli, as soon as he heard Zhu Yunxie start, he knew that this grandson wanted to kill a big family.

And he could even guess that the cost of the first batch of vaccinated people must not be cheap!

He only worries about one thing now, that is, what about these officials?
"Veterans support the strategy of the Three Emperors!"

"It's time to let them bleed."

When the others heard Chen Zongli's words, they only felt that they understood a little, but they didn't understand much.

I only vaguely guessed that the third emperor's grandson might make money from vaccinations.

After Zhu Yunxi solved this matter, he dealt with a few more minor matters, and then sent everyone out of the palace and asked them to go to work in their respective yamen.

As for himself, he returned to the bedroom and waited on Lao Zhu's bed.

The next day, as soon as the court's announcement was published, everyone in the capital knew about it.

Although the city is now in the lockdown stage, with no new cases for several days in a row, the lockdown in the city has been gradually lifted, and people in the capital are allowed to go shopping on the streets.

Only the isolated Lifang still needs the imperial court to distribute food, vegetables, salt and the like.

The amount given by the imperial court was very sufficient, allowing many people who were quarantined to take advantage of it.

For example, for a family of three, the daily salt supply is one tael, which is enough for them to eat for ten days.But the government still sends them every day, sometimes to save trouble, they simply send them catty by catty.

The same is true for food and vegetables. A family of three is divided according to the rations of five people, regardless of age, and they are all distributed according to the standards of adults.

This is also the biggest difference between Zhu Yunxi and Lao Zhu's governance. Lao Zhu cares about everything, and everything is determined for you.

Zhu Yunxi drew a general direction, for example, one liter per person, no matter adults or children, old people or women.

If your house is full of big men, go hungry.If there are many old people and children in the family, then you will take advantage of it.

Because once the regulations are detailed, the bottom-level executives will be given the right to rent-seek space, and they will play tricks when allocating.

For example, people in your family are not old enough, your children are not old enough, and so on.

They can even open their eyes and tell nonsense, treat adults like children, and only give half of their rations.

Moreover, his extensive management is also very popular with the lower-level government officials and servants.

Because it's simple, just remember one liter of rice per person, and don't worry about anything else.It's okay to give one or two more liters, anyway, when the third grandson gave the order, he calculated the loss in advance.

There is only one bad thing, that is, there are special people watching over the leftover rice every day, and they are not allowed to take a single grain home.

This is also a strategy of Zhu Yunxi, because once the remaining food can be distributed by the guards, they will do everything possible to leave more food.

The reason why Zhu Yunxi can think so much is because he has three good masters.

Whether it's Qin Hengbo, Yang Xinlu, or Gao Ming.

These are all people who have read the book thoroughly and understood the human heart.

They have the clearest view of Daming's governance, but they just don't want to work for Lao Zhu unilaterally.

But as long as they find someone who is pleasing to the eye, they will really help them wholeheartedly.

It was with the assistance of these people that Zhu Yunxi ensured that no major disturbances occurred during his forced supervision of the country.

The people in the capital were all rejoiced when they learned that the imperial court had new preventive measures.

With their running around telling each other, the people in the capital can be said to be known to everyone.

For a while, everyone was asking where to buy this new type of vaccinia vaccine.

No one thought about prostitution for free, because there has been no such precedent in all dynasties.

If the Ming Dynasty can distribute food to the families of the people who are quarantined, that is already the behavior of the sage in the prosperous age. Who dares to think more?
Not to mention, after a group of people inquired, they really found out where they could buy it.

Huimin Medical Center!

It is the only medical clinic in Ming Dynasty written by the emperor.

The Huimin Medical Center occupies a large area. People who don't know it when they see it for the first time think it is some important office of the imperial court.

Only those who have been inside know that this is the best medical center in the whole capital.There are more than a dozen departments such as pediatrics, gynecology, typhoid fever, and Jinchuang.

It is said that there is no disease that they cannot cure. If they cannot cure it, no one in Daming can cure it.

It is said that Xin Guogong Tanghe is a frequent visitor here, and the rheumatic stones that troubled his legs were dug out here.

I couldn't even get out of bed before, but now I can walk on crutches.

However, after a group of people inquired about the price, they immediately scolded Huimin Medical Center for being dark.

"Is it too expensive?"

"It costs ten taels of silver to plant a vaccinia vaccine?"

"What do you look at? The ten taels of silver is called copper pox vaccine, and there are silver pox vaccines of 100 taels of silver and gold pox vaccine of 1000 taels of silver!"

"Ten taels?"

"It's not worth 1000 taels if you sell me!"

"However, according to the above statement, the preventive effects of the three vaccines are the same, but the side effects are different. The more expensive the vaccine, the less side effects and the greater the probability of success?"

"According to what they said, we poor people are so poor that we are left with this humble life. It's a good deal to fight with ten taels of silver. As long as we succeed, it is equivalent to earning 1000 taels of silver!"

"I thought so too!"

"I'm going home to get the money, and then bring my mother-in-law and baby to plant the copper pox vaccine!"

Ordinary people cannot afford the more expensive silver and gold vaccines, but they still understand the price of copper vaccines.

Because they find people to "vaccinate human pox" among the people, the risk is dozens of times greater than this, and it costs at least a few dozen taels of silver once.

Relatively speaking, the price of Huimin Medical Center is already considered reasonable.

As for those poor ghosts who can't even afford ten taels of silver, naturally they can't blame others, they can only blame themselves for being poor.

As everyone knows, Zhu Yunxi is planning to use their money to promote free vaccination for all...

There are many wealthy households in the capital. After seeing the price list of Huimin Medical Center, they said that cheap products are not good, and good products are not cheap.

Therefore, according to the actual situation of the family, each chose the silver vaccine or the gold vaccine.

As for the noble family in the capital, it is even more arrogant, if you have gold, you don't choose silver.

But they also bought a lot of copper pox vaccines, all of which were used to buy the servants in the mansion.

After all, no matter how strict their defenses are, they still have to be served.If the servants in the house were not inoculated with vaccinia, they would not be able to eat well.

In fact, whether it is gold or silver vaccine, it is essentially the same as copper vaccine, they are just packed in different material containers.

Zhu Yunxi wants to artificially create a difference and fool more rich people into buying more expensive services.

In fact, this is the same as some routines in later generations, innovation is mainly based on changing the shell.

Changing the packaging is a new drug.

Thanks to the efforts of the rich and wealthy in the capital, as well as the Xungui family, the Huimin Medical Center earned tens of thousands of taels of silver in less than ten days.

Part of the money was used to buy cattle, and the rest was divided into two parts by Zhu Yunxi, and one part was distributed to the medical school so that they could train more medical students.The other part is transferred to the treasury to make up for the shortfall of the treasury during this period.

Zhu Yunxi's treatment has attracted praise from the household department.

What excited them most was that the money was transferred from the royal family!

For so many years, their household department only saw the royal family spend money, when did they see the royal family earn money for them?

Chen Zongli also highly praised Zhu Yunxie's behavior.

He now understands why the third grandson didn't let the matter be mentioned in the name of the court. This is because of the court's face and reputation.

Relatively speaking, the Huimin Medical Center has no such concerns. Even if the common people have resentments, they will only go to the medical center.

Although the old emperor is still resting in bed and unable to supervise the administration of the country, he still cooperated with hundreds of officials from the Ministry of Households to write a letter to His Majesty the Emperor, praising the noble character of the three emperors and grandsons, and affirming his work achievements during this period , and full of confidence in the future of Daming, saying that he and others will firmly focus on the Three Emperors and Sun, and better contribute their own strength to Daming!

Zhu Yunxi bred enough vaccinia, and it was opened to the people of the whole capital for free in an orderly manner.

As soon as the news came out, many people in the capital broke their defenses.

Those who think they are superior to others and have a natural sense of superiority over ordinary people suddenly break their defenses collectively.

Why can those poor ghosts be vaccinated for free?

This is not fair!

As a result, a rumor soon spread that the vaccinia vaccines given to the people by the government for free were all defective products and could kill people if they were planted.

As soon as the news came out, it quickly spread throughout the capital with the help of people with a heart.

Even though Zhu Yunxi ordered Jin Yiwei to investigate with all his strength, he still couldn't find out the exact source.

Some said it was sung by an old woman, some said it was sung by a child, and some said it was written on the city gate.

In short, there are many rumors, but there is no way to verify them.

Therefore, Zhu Yunxi's vaccinia promotion project encountered unprecedented resistance.

Although the imperial court vaccinated for free, all the people seemed to be hiding from the plague. Instead of taking the initiative to vaccinate, they even advised people around them not to vaccinate.

For a while, the promotion of vaccinia fell into a stalemate.

Even though Zhu Yunxi tried his best to publicize that he and the old emperor had been vaccinated, the people in the capital still didn't believe it.

Some people even used the fact that the old emperor was sick and unable to supervise the administration of the country to confuse the people and create greater obstacles for the promotion of the new vaccine.

Faced with such a situation, Zhu Yunxi was helpless, so he ran back to the palace in desperation, intending to ask Lao Zhu for advice.

However, as soon as he entered the palace, he found something was wrong.Wang De was kicked out of the palace and could only stand at the door stupidly.

"San Dezi, didn't I ask you to stand by the emperor's side for me? Why did you come out?"

"Reporting to the Third Highness, it's not that the slaves don't want to serve the emperor, it's the godfather who drove the slaves out!"

"what?"

When Zhu Yunxi heard this, his face darkened immediately.The reason why he gave Qin Deshun so many benefits was to let him take more care of his son San Deshun?

Now that he has given out so much, he actually squeezes out San Dezi!
However, when Zhu Yunxi was about to enter Qianqing Palace, Qin Deshun led several eunuchs to stop him.

"Three emperors, please slow down!"

"It is inconvenient for Your Majesty now, you will enter the palace later!"

"What?"

Zhu Yunxi was completely dazed when he heard this. This was the first time he encountered such a situation. He was stopped outside the Palace of Qianqing, and he was not allowed to see the emperor's grandfather.

"Did something happen to the emperor's grandfather?"

"No……"

"That's why you want to coerce the emperor to command the princes!"

How could Qin Deshun bear this accusation? He almost frightened him to death when he heard this.

"Son of the Three Emperors, calm down, it's really not the old slave who stopped you, it's really hard to break the sage!"

When Qin Deshun said this, he blinked at Zhu Yunxi. Zhu Yunxi was suspicious when he saw Qin Deshun's expression changed.

He felt as if he had been cheated, either by Qin Deshun or Lao Zhu.

After a long time, a little eunuch came out of the palace, saying that His Majesty the Emperor had ordered the Three Emperors to come in to see him.

Zhu Yunxi immediately rushed into the Qianqing Palace and went straight to Lao Zhu's bedroom.When he saw Lao Zhu lying on the bed properly, his hanging heart finally let go.

"Grandfather, are you feeling better today?"

Lao Zhu raised his hand weakly, stroked Dasun's sad face, and managed to force a smile from his face.

"We are... much better..."

"Don't worry about it, you... governing Daming well... is the greatest... greatest contribution to us..."

Zhu Yunxi felt sad again when he saw Lao Zhu being so weak.

He had tried his best to prevent Lao Zhu from being harmed, but he didn't expect that the vaccinia vaccine would still bring such a big side effect to Lao Zhu.

Now he only regrets one thing, why did he vaccinate the emperor's grandfather?

As long as all the eunuchs and maids serving by the emperor's side are planted, will the emperor's grandfather be safe?

"Grandfather, I was wrong, I shouldn't have let you get the vaccine, woo woo woo..."

Lao Zhu touched Dasun's thick eyebrows, and smiled gratifiedly.

"fine!"

"We know that you are also filial, and we won't blame you, ahem..."

When Lao Zhu said this, he coughed violently. When Zhu Yunxi heard that the emperor's grandfather was coughing so badly, he hurriedly yelled for someone to call the imperial doctor.

However, just as he yelled twice, he suddenly realized that something was wrong. There seemed to be a glint of oil on the edge of Grandpa Huang's lips.

Seeing this scene, Zhu Yunxi immediately turned his attention to the emperor's beard, only to see that there were meat residues on the beard!

He clearly remembered that the emperor's grandfather only drank a bowl of millet porridge in the morning and couldn't eat anymore. Where did the oil on his mouth come from, and the meat residue on his beard?

Zhu Yunxi took a few more deep breaths, smelling a faint mutton smell from the emperor's grandfather, he could basically conclude in his heart.

This old man is either stealing mutton, or pretending to be sick to himself!
Thinking of this, Zhu Yunxi also pretended to be heartbroken, said a few words to the old man, and resigned first on the pretext that there was still something to do in the previous court.

After Zhu Yunxi left, Lao Zhu hurriedly ordered someone to go outside to check, until he was sure that his grandson had really gone far away, then he happily jumped off the bed, ran to the side hall, pulled out a small table from under the table, and He grabbed a big leg of lamb and gnawed it vigorously.

While chewing, he complained to Qin Deshun beside him.

"This Ni Sun is too stingy, he only knows how to give us porridge every day, but we are so greedy!"

"Your Majesty, you are being too harsh. Didn't the third grandson think you were ill?"

"You can't drink it every day!"

"At least give us some meat porridge?"

When Qin Deshun heard the old emperor's words, he could only shrug helplessly.

The old emperor is no one else, lying in bed every day and pretending to be sick, he has to ask his grandson to feed him food and medicine.

Playing every day, like an old child!

"My lord, how long do you have to pretend?"

In fact, Lao Zhu didn't react much on the third day after the vaccination. It's just that he saw his grandson manage the state affairs well, so he had the idea of ​​stealing and playing tricks.

After all, since he became emperor, he has never rested.

He has slept so comfortably these past few days, as if he has made up for the sleep he has lost all his life.

Old Zhu heard the words while gnawing on the leg of lamb while gulping down the rice wine, he said vaguely.

"hold on!"

"When the Ni Sun is able to take care of himself, or encounters a problem that cannot be solved, let's jump off the bed and turn the tide for the Ni Sun!"

"Uh uh?"

"My lord, what do you mean, you are waiting to see the jokes of the third grandson?"

"That's natural!"

"There are no simple things in governing the country. Many seemingly trivial things can ruin a national policy!"

"This grandson is too conceited. He usually doesn't even look down on our government orders. He should suffer a bit, wow quack!"

"Furthermore, we have worked hard for most of our lives, so we can't hide in the palace and enjoy it for a few days!"

Lao Zhu was so greedy that he gnawed off half of the huge leg of lamb in a short while.

However, just as he was enjoying himself, he suddenly heard a gloomy voice coming from beside him.

"Grandpa Huang, you have a good appetite. Are you almost finished eating such a big leg of lamb?"

"Uh uh uh……"
