Chapter 696 Free Clinic (1)

Zhou Zhoulang is going back to Qili Village the next day. He has already signed a contract with Tang County Magistrate. Now, where can he find so many wheat seeds for him?

So he got up early in the morning, put a leg of lamb wrapped last night into the car, packed some steamed buns and snacks from the kitchen, and was about to leave.

Man Bao and the others also got up, seeing this as usual, and waved goodbye to Zhou Zhoulang, "Fourth brother, have a safe journey."

Zhou Zhou Lang also waved with them.

As soon as Zhou Zhoulang left, Zhou Lijun was free, and Man Bao warmly invited her, "Lijun, come with me to see a doctor outside the city."

Zhou Lijun thought for a while, and she had nothing to do today, so she nodded and agreed, "Okay, I'll help sister-in-law."

Bai Shan and Bai Erlang still had to go to school, but Mr. Zhuang and his aunt and nephew Man Bao went out of the city together.

When they arrived at the place, County Magistrate Tang was already there, directing people to lead the huddled refugees to line up in front of the various medical sheds.

Seeing Mr. Zhuang coming, he quickly greeted him and saluted, "Mr. Thank you yesterday. I should have come yesterday, but something delayed me."

Mr. Zhuang said it was all right.

Yesterday, he heard complaints from the clerks, saying that there were some problems with the medicinal materials donated by various families. County magistrate Tang got very angry, and then hurried to deal with it.

Seeing that the County Magistrate Tang's expression is fine today, the matter should have been dealt with. Mr. Zhuang also breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "Master Tang has orders, so just give orders."

"How dare, how dare, it's the medicinal material department, please sit in charge," Tang County Magistrate said: "Sir, just sit on the sidelines, and leave the rest to Master Ding."

He added: "In addition to the gentleman, the county also invited two other respected old gentlemen to supervise. Today, there are many people who come to see the doctor to get medicine, but there are always some who want to fish in troubled waters. This requires the sharp eyes of a few gentlemen. "

Mr. Zhuang expressed his understanding.

After making arrangements for Mr. Zhuang and the others, County Magistrate Tang looked at Aunt and Nephew Man Bao, and said with a smile, "You came too early, and I asked some women to be selected from among the refugees, do you want to go and have a look first? "

Man Bao nodded.

There are not many women among the refugees queuing up to see a doctor, and the only women among them are mostly children and the elderly, and there are almost no young women and girls.

County magistrate Tang came to see it early in the morning, so he sent two strong maids to find the women in the queue, drag them all to Manbao's medical shed, and then put all the men who lined up in front of the medical shed into the queue. Go to another team.

He decided that for this free clinic, Man Bao will treat all the women.

In order not to make people think that she was too young to be bullied, Magistrate Tang also placed two strong maids in front of her medical shed, all of whom were dispatched from his family.

Man Bao walked around in his medical shed, very satisfied, and then glanced at the long queue in front of the medical shed.

Standing at the front of the line was an old woman, disheveled, cold in the morning, maybe it was too cold, she was looking at Man Bao with a pair of cloudy eyes.

Man Bao glanced at her face and hands, then turned to the maid and said, "Go get some hot water."

"yes."

Now the most indispensable thing in this wild land is the people who listen to orders, all of them are recruited from the refugees, and the reward is three meals a day.

Magistrate Tang didn't know whether they had to use it, and looked at the busy and chaotic crowd with some sadness.

Director Ding couldn't help but said: "My lord, let's not say that these refugees have bad hands and feet, and they always don't listen to orders. Some of them just don't understand. Why don't we recruit some people from the county."

Magistrate Tang said sadly, "I have no money."

Director Ding: "...My lord, didn't the county just collect a sum of taxes?"

Magistrate Tang glanced at him and said, "That money is of other use to the county."

He paused and said: "The Governor's Mansion is nearby, do you dare to embezzle these funds?"

Master Ding responded, bowed and stepped back.

Magistrate Tang sighed.

Yang Heshu taught him the method of substituting labor with refugees, but there are far more refugees in Yizhou City than in Luojiang County.

Before the other free clinic doctors arrived, Man Bao didn't wait for them, washed his hands directly, and then took out the pen, ink, paper and inkstone and pulse pillow from the back basket, Zhou Lijun rubbed the ink for her, and Man Bao sat in his seat He waved to the first old woman and said with a smile, "Come on."

The old woman opened her mouth wide, and after a while she came back to her senses and asked, "Where is the doctor?"

Zhou Lijun said: "My sister-in-law is a doctor."

Not only the old woman, but also the people queuing behind to see the doctor looked at Man Bao suspiciously, and even the refugees queuing up in the medical shed next door all stared at him with disbelief.

Man Bao coughed lightly, and said seriously: "Come on, I'm short on time."

Zhou Lijun immediately said with a stern face: "My sister-in-law is from Jishitang. Even Doctor Ji praised her for being amazing. Do you want to watch it? If you don't look at it, change to another one. Don't waste time."

After the aunt and nephew said this, the old woman didn't want to leave. She glanced at the people standing in front of the other medical sheds, and she couldn't see the end.

She has to rearrange, and I'm afraid it won't be her turn in two days.

And the reason why she was able to stand at the front was because she was found out by the two maids first, and they ranked her at the top because of her age.

The old woman gritted her teeth, but still took her book and stepped forward.

This is the household registration temporarily issued by the county government to record the identity.

What is a refugee?

It means that people who have given up their household registration and moved around in order not to pay taxes, once registered, they have to pay taxes every year and do hard labor.

There have always been many refugees in Yizhou City. This was their hometown, but because of the flood, they fled to other places, and they came back one after another after the flood was over.

But when they came back, their homes were gone, and their fields were gone. Even if they went to the government with their household registration and wanted to return to their previous fields, they would be told that the fields had long been treated as wasteland.

And they will be registered and registered, and they need to pay taxes and perform hard labor every year.

Without land, it is difficult for them to even support themselves, let alone pay taxes and perform servitude.

Therefore, most of the people who fled back would not go to the Yamen to register for naturalization, and even Lizheng and the Yamen servants, who were hiding from inspection, would rather be refugees than be naturalized.

This time, the magistrate of Tang county had widely announced that the registered refugees would be allocated two acres of land and exempted from tax for two years, so they went to register.

This book is temporary, and it will be changed to a formal one after they settle down, get a field, and confirm their residence. Now this temporary book is used for medical treatment.

Every registered refugee has two opportunities to see a doctor within these five days.

After each doctor has read it and confirms that it is possible to prescribe the prescription, he will sign his name on it, even if he has used a chance.

Man Bao took her hand to check her pulse carefully, asked some questions carefully, looked at her tongue coating and complexion, then got up and said, "Come inside, I'll take a look at your stomach."
