Medicine in Song Dynasty

Chapter 43 Transition
Su Wencheng's errand was really good. The people in Rugao County who suffered from disasters every year and suffered from the intrusion of tides every year were grateful.

According to the thoughts of these people who have lived here for generations, although the cost is very high, this big weir still has to be repaired. My generation will work hard so that the children and grandchildren will no longer suffer from the disasters they have endured.

They even wrote the Wanmin Book for this, and sent it to the county government with drums and gongs. There are countless other plaques.

In fact, Zhouzhi County had never received plaques before, but they were specially made by rich and wealthy gentry for flattery. Even though the materials of those plaques were many times better than today's ones, the meanings were quite different.

Looking at the Wanmin Book full of handprints, Zhou Zhixian breathed out, made up his mind, went home and sorted out the things Su Wencheng showed him, carefully wrote them into a booklet and sent it up.

As a mere county magistrate, he would not be able to listen to it at first, but now among the major issues that the officials are most concerned about, Hanhaiyan definitely has a relatively high status. Dayan in Rugao County occupies three tenths of the entire Taizhou. The Rugao county magistrate's book, the officials actually found out and read it.

However, Emperor Renzong said that he had read the records of Zhouzhi County, because the data was detailed and clear, and he was full of admiration in his heart. He even praised Zhouzhi County at the court meeting. It may have left a bad reputation for thousands of years, and so many people died because of it, the officials at the top and bottom of the court were still a little uneasy.

This matter can't be settled for a while.

Zhouzhi County is not in a hurry. The government of the Song Dynasty is like this. It takes a long time for the ministers to make sure of everything. He just needs to make preparations seriously. The merit is immeasurable, and he will definitely get an honor in the evaluation.

Su Wencheng is also very busy with the matter of defending the sea weir now. He can be regarded as a trusted confidant of Zhouzhi County. Whenever there is something to do, he will definitely ask him to discuss it together. He is almost so busy that he even goes home for dinner. All gone.

Su Tong had no choice but to take on the burden of teaching his precious brother and delivering meals to his father. Fortunately, the family bought a maid, so she didn't have to do all kinds of chores, and the government also gave him various subsidies.

Although Su Wencheng is just an aide, Su Tong has already felt the benefits of the system. Being an official in the Song Dynasty is definitely the best job. An individual being an official is enough for a family to live comfortably.

Today, Su Tong arranged his younger brother's homework, and remembered that she had been in Rugao for a while, but she hadn't gone for a stroll in the street to see the style of Rugao County. It happened that Mrs. Zhang and Mrs. Hu were going out to buy Clothes, simply follow them to the street.

In the past, Su Tong went to the street alone, it was always very simple, he changed his clothes and went for a stroll, but it was very different when he went to the street with Mrs Zhang, not only accompanied by the carriage, but also walked down by himself, followed behind Seven or eight maidservants, seven or eight strong servants.

Some carried money, and some carried cakes and tea made by the cook at home.There is a string of black and white, and from a distance, you can tell that it is the female relatives of a wealthy family who are traveling.

When these two saw something on the street, they didn't even know how to negotiate the price. They just pointed at it casually, and someone would pay for it immediately, and it would be properly delivered to the door.

Money is spent like flowing water, casually a few hundred guan, this is the first time Su Tong has experienced the lives of noble ladies in this era, the money he earns hard for a month is not enough for others to buy jewelry, buy some clothes.

She originally thought that her family was considered to have some money. Of course, being rich and powerful is not counted, but it is a well-off family, enough for ordinary people to live comfortably for several years. Her little savings, probably all added up, are not enough for other people's pocket money.

It's still about making money.

Su Tong sighed. In fact, she was the kind of person who likes to enjoy herself. She had never experienced hardships since she was a child. When she came here, her temperament remained unchanged. After she had enough food and clothing, she thought about a higher quality of life.

After walking a few steps, Mrs. Zhang caught sight of some jade jewelry sold by the roadside.

Su Tong glanced at it for a while, and found that the carving was not bad, as if carved by a master, but the jade material was too poor, it didn't look like a high-end product, it couldn't stand Mrs Zhang's liking, so he picked and picked with great interest.

Thinking that his younger brother still lacked a piece of jade to press his clothes, Su Tong simply stopped and watched with Mrs. Zhang. Mrs. Zhang was also a straightforward person, and he picked out more than a dozen pieces in a short time.

"A Tong, you're welcome, it's not expensive, you can choose what you value, it's my gift to Erlang."

Su Tong laughed: "You are ashamed of such a cheap gift. When Erlang goes to school, you have to give him two sets of good pens, inks, papers and inkstones. As for these, I, a poor man, should buy them."

Now the relationship between Su Tong and Mrs. Zhang is not as unfamiliar as it was in Xixi Town. They have a very good relationship. Although there is a big difference in age, they are somewhat like handing over handkerchiefs. It is even more common to send some small gifts to connect feelings.

For example, the scarves Su Tong made for her brother and father, the fingerless gloves and so on, are all for Zhang and Hu. Although they are not very valuable, they are a kind heart.

Whatever fresh snacks Zhang's family makes, they will never forget to send them to Su's family.

People's feelings are deepened step by step through these interpersonal contacts.

The two chatted and laughed, and suddenly heard a rush of footsteps from behind, and then, the coachman of the Zhou family exclaimed and shouted: "What are you doing!"

Mrs. Zhang and Su Tong turned their heads together, and saw a man dressed as a servant grabbing the rein in the driver's hand out of breath. Jun fell and hurt his head, and the bleeding continued, I will send him to the hospital."

The driver was startled, and turned to look at Mrs. Zhang.

Mrs. Zhang frowned and nodded: "It's important to save people, so go ahead."

Su Tong sighed—the folk customs of this era are still simple and simple. If someone stopped a car in the middle of the 21st century and was still a strong man, no matter who it was, he had to think more about it. have to!
In the 21st century, I dare not even do good deeds lightly, and I don’t know whose fault it should be, but those gangsters with treacherous thoughts?Or should we blame those news media that publicize a few situations in society, and the result is imitated by others, and the number of bad guys is increasing day by day?Or should we blame ordinary people who are getting colder and colder?
