Ming Dynasty: Traveling through the harem, Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded

Chapter 209 Daming First People's Hospital
“Two days.”

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes flashed with an imperceptible cold light.

Just when he thought he had hidden himself well, Queen Ma raised her hand and slapped him on the forehead, gently scolding:

"Zhongba, do you think I don't know what you are thinking? I'll tell you again, the matter between Zhu Zhanji and Zhu Qizhen is not the fault of the fourth brother. He was already buried in the imperial mausoleum at that time. How can a dead person control the affairs of his descendants?

You are using something that has not happened in the future to criticize the Fourth Brother. I am the first one to disagree with this."

Empress Ma's attitude was extremely tough, and it seemed that she would not tolerate any rebuttal from Zhu Yuanzhang.

There was nothing she could do about it. She knew her husband too well. If she didn't say more, Zhu Yuanzhang would definitely take ruthless action against Zhu Di.

Don't doubt it, Zhu Yuanzhang is a traditional male chauvinist at heart who believes that a good son is made under the stick.

In his opinion, as long as the son is disobedient, he should be beaten.

The harder the beating, the better; he must always maintain his role as a strict father.

The price paid for this was that many of his sons did not dare to take the initiative to talk to Zhu Yuanzhang.

Even so, Zhu Yuanzhang did not repent. In his opinion, he could teach his son however he wanted.

Unexpectedly, this idea was frequently blocked by Queen Ma today.

Even his agreement just now was just a delaying tactic.

"Sister! I won't be so harsh, I just want to tell that bastard Lao Si to be more careful, otherwise he will embarrass us when he becomes the emperor.

You said that there is actually an emperor in this world who died of obesity. If we don't take action, what will happen?"

If Zhu Zhanji's ten-year life was short, then Zhu Gaochi was the one who made Empress Ma feel endless regret.

The fat boy born to Xu Miaoyun was not only the first grandchild between the Zhu and Xu families, but also a grandson that Empress Ma loved very much.

There was no other reason than that Zhu Gaochi weighed almost ten kilograms when he was born.

But in this era, the fatter a child is at birth, the more it indicates that the family is wealthy.

It can also indirectly show that life is good.

Otherwise, the baby would be very skinny, or even die right after birth.

Therefore, Empress Ma did not want anything to happen to Zhu Gaochi.

After much thought, she finally came up with a compromise.

"Let's put it this way. Gao Chi has always been Miaoyun's daughter-in-law, and Di'er is very obedient to this daughter-in-law. If you ask Di'er to discipline Miaoyun, Di'er will kneel outside the house the next day.

So let me, the mother-in-law, do it.”

Speaking of this, Yang Chen was no longer sleepy. He originally thought that Zhu Di, such a majestic young man, should be the most powerful person in the family. However, he never thought that Zhu Di was just like his father and obeyed his wife's words.

Especially Xu Miaoyun, as long as she said a word, Zhu Di didn't dare to say a word loudly.

In the end, every time Zhu Di came to play with Yang Chen, he would be scolded by Xu Miaoyun if he went home too late.

When Yang Chen first heard the news, he thought it was fake.

But I never thought it was more real than pearls.

Empress Ma's comprehensive approach made Zhu Yuanzhang feel like he was hitting cotton with his fist. In the end, he could only accept it with a pinch of his nose:
"Okay! Since you said so, sister, then we'll leave it to you. Anyway, we are all doing this for the good of our family, and no one should get into trouble."

Zhu Yuanzhang was very firm in his attitude, and he was also very clear about the situation of his family.

When Queen Ma saw that it was getting dark, she gave Yang Chen an instruction:

"Yang Chen, I know you are very capable, so I'm leaving Tiande's affairs in your hands. If he can survive, you will not only be a benefactor to our family, but also a great benefactor to many millions of soldiers."

This may not sound like anything at first, but if you think about it carefully, you can find that Queen Ma is making a metaphor.

Yang Chen saved Xu Da, so he is the benefactor of the Xu and Zhu families. As for the second half of the sentence.

It’s all because of Zhu Yuanzhang’s personality.

As one of the founders of the Ming Dynasty's million-strong army, Xu Da had a very high prestige in the military camp, perhaps only slightly less than that of Zhu Yuanzhang.

In the eyes of these subordinates, they are still the subordinates of Marshal Xu, and their current identities were given by Marshal Xu.

Zhu Yuanzhang was just a beggar who came to seek refuge, and Marshal Xu was just a little luckier.

Don't think this is fake, it really exists.

Due to the underdeveloped technology in ancient times, many soldiers had no chance to come into contact with the emperor in their entire lives.

For soldiers, the marshal or general is the person they are loyal to. Except for some direct troops, most soldiers are willing to follow the marshal and general.

He doesn't need a tiger talisman or a troop mobilization talisman to directly command tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of soldiers to work for him.

This is also the reason why in many dynasties, in order to control the generals, the emperors chose to let the generals' immediate relatives marry with their own relatives.

Or just let the whole family of the Marshal's Mansion live in the capital.

If there are any problems on the border, the emperor will not be forced to give in.

Xu Da's influence in the military camp forced Zhu Yuanzhang, a suspicious man by nature, to be more cautious.

In this regard, Zhu Yuanzhang can be said to be quite skilled.

Not only did he let his son marry the other party's daughter, he also let Xu Da work directly in the Governor's Office.

In this way, those people in the border areas who had been very close to Xu Da would not be able to cause unrest.

But now Xu Da is in critical condition, and no one knows what surprising actions these subordinates will take when Xu Da is gone in the future.

There is nothing wrong in saying that Yang Chen indirectly saved these people's lives.

"Don't worry, Queen, General Xu is a good man, I will do my best to rescue him.

Just now Ah Biao said that there are still two days left, so I will make arrangements now. When General Xu Da arrives in Zhenjiang Prefecture, I will immediately arrange for a rescue."

After that, Yang Chen and Zhu Biao left the room, and the remaining two had a good rest.

Outside.

Zhu Biao and Yang Chen found a cooler place.

It was already the end of January, and the spring snow was about to arrive, and the weather changes were making people feel a little uneasy.

Sitting on the stone bench, Zhu Biao looked at Yang Chen and said:
"Brother Yang, I want to know if these things on Uncle Xu can be cured intact? You should know the importance of Uncle Xu to the Ming Dynasty. Without him, many armies of the Ming Dynasty will fall into unstable factors. At that time, my father will never allow such a situation to happen. Although I am now the ruler of the Ming Dynasty, I understand that there is only one true master of the Ming Dynasty, and that is my father.

If something unexpected happens to Uncle Xu, it would be extremely difficult for the million-strong army to stay here."

No one knows what the future holds, and Zhu Biao doesn't want the Ming Dynasty to have any other unexpected actions again. So he must know the result from Yang Chen.

Facing such inquiries, Yang Chen said lightly:
"Your Highness, there is no need to worry too much. In fact, back carbuncle is not as terrible as you think. First of all, you should know that back carbuncle is a bacterial infection of the wound.

According to current medical technology, there is only one way to completely cure Marshal Xu's back carbuncle.

That is to utilize the medical means of Zhenjiang Prefecture.

I will arrange for him to stay in the most sterile room in the hospital, use iodine and alcohol to disinfect his wounds, and then arrange for someone with superb skills to remove the infected part of his wounds.

Finally, use sheep intestine wound suture rope to suture the wound, and then all you need to do is wait for the wound to heal.

I’m not sure if you can understand it, but this is the general idea.”

Under Yang Chen's operation, the medical skills in Zhenjiang Prefecture have greatly improved. In addition to the barefoot doctors, Yang Chen also brought Zhu Biao's fifth brother Zhu Su here.

It’s all because Zhu Su’s medical talent is so astonishing.

When Yang Chen saw this young man for the first time, he couldn't help but be amazed.

He thought that Zhu Yuanzhang was not good at anything, but the sons he gave birth to were indeed gifted.

Maybe it’s because of Queen Ma.

In short, as a person who can leave his name in the field of medicine, Zhu Su has made great achievements in this field.

"Although I don't understand what you are saying, I roughly know what you want to do. It is rumored that Zhenjiang Prefecture already has medical skills that can bring the dead back to life. Could this be what you are talking about?"

Yang Chen found Zhu Biao's bold prediction funny.

"Ghosts coming back to life are all jokes to outsiders. If you, as the crown prince, can believe it, then it seems that outsiders' filter for our Zhenjiang Prefecture is really unique.

By the way, there have been a number of refugees in Zhenjiang Prefecture recently. Why don’t you come with me to take a look?”

At this point, Yang Chen's eyes suddenly showed a cunning look, and he said mysteriously:
"I promise to open up a whole new world for you, and you will also be able to formally come into contact with some of the black technologies of the future."

Zhu Biao was already full of yearning for the future, so naturally he was eager to have it. The last time he came to Zhenjiang Prefecture, he wanted to have a good look around.

Unfortunately, Zhu Yuanzhang, the hands-off boss, completely left the affairs of the court to him. Now Zhu Biao cannot get away unless there are special circumstances.

"Since Brother Yang asked, I will agree."

Yang Chen stood up and walked in front, while Zhu Biao followed behind.

The two soon arrived at a building that was particularly bright at night.

Although they are called buildings, they are actually not very big, only about four stories high. In each building you can see many people busy walking around.

Overall, you can see that people here are very busy.

"Brother Yang from the First People's Hospital of Zhenjiang Prefecture, is this the name you chose?"

Standing downstairs, Zhu Biao looked up at the conspicuous large words on the top floor of the building and said to Yang Chen.

Yang Chen, standing at one side, had no intention of hiding it and nodded in acknowledgement.

Zhu Biao couldn't help but smile when he saw the other party admit it.

"Brother Yang, you are really good at naming. When you named the Daming Mass Service Center, I noticed that you seemed to like to connect with the masses in various ways. Can I know why?"

Yang Chen smiled slightly, turned to look at Zhu Bai and said:
"A Biao, you have to know that nothing in this world can be passed down. Even if you and I build the Ming Dynasty into an impregnable fortress, there will always be a day when the Ming Dynasty will disappear. Do you believe it?"

As soon as the words fell, Zhu Biao began to fall into deep thought. He knew exactly what Yang Chen meant.

In fact, from some point in time, Zhu Biao would start to think to himself: the Ming Dynasty will be invincible in the future, so where will the future lie?

In the short term, it will definitely develop on Earth, but when it reaches a certain time in the future, the Ming Dynasty will definitely not be limited to Earth.

At that time, if Daming wanted to have another way out, the only thing it could do was to break through the limitations and go to the wider world outside, which is the universe!
Of course, Zhu Biao certainly couldn’t see it at that time. It was already good enough for him to see the flags of the Ming Dynasty everywhere in the world.

Even if the Ming Dynasty no longer exists in the future, as long as the regime is still ruled by the Han people, Zhu Biao will definitely not have any objections.

Because history is created by the people, not by a certain individual or a certain court force.

After understanding this, Zhu Biao also figured out why Yang Chen did this.

"Brother Yang, compared to you, my vision is still small after all. I still have a lot to learn from you."

"Hey! Ah Biao, are you trying to flatter me?" Yang Chen looked at Zhu Biao with pretended vigilance and said this, then relaxed and said:
"You are the crown prince, so why should you decide whether to study or not? Besides, we are all working for the good of Ming Dynasty, and making progress together is the most important thing.

Let's go, we're already downstairs, how can we not go up and take a look?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Yang Chen was the first to step in, followed closely by Zhu Biao.

When Zhu Biao entered this floor, he was surprised to find that in this hospital, in addition to doctors diagnosing patients' symptoms, there were also many young girls assisting them.

It also seems that these girls have pretty good skills. They can help patients deal with their wounds. What they do is very similar to what doctors do, but it is obvious that both sides are surprised.

Zhu Biao approached Yang Chen and asked as quietly as possible to avoid disturbing the people who were resting around him.

"Brother Yang? May I ask why there are so many women in this hospital? And the clothes they wear seem to be exactly the same? Like palace maids, are these the slaves you took in?"

Looking at the confused look on Zhu Biao's face, Yang Chen smiled and explained:

"They are not maids, nor are they slaves. They are all nurses that I hired with my own money."

"Nurse?" Zhu Biao's face was full of question marks, not understanding what a nurse was.

Soon, Yang Chen brought him to the inpatient ward, where there were many patients. All of them were lying on beds without exception. There was a label at the head of each bed, which clearly recorded the illness of the patient.

Just then, an older nurse came in with two younger nurses.

Stopped at bed number 65.

The older nurse had almost no patience. She pointed at the patient above and said to the two young nurses beside her:
"Remember, the patient in bed 65 can only drink liquid food for a short period of time and cannot get out of bed to exercise. He must rest in bed for at least two days before he can get out of bed to move around. If there are any special situations during the rest period, go to see Doctor Deng immediately. He knows how to deal with it. Do you understand?"

After the older female nurse's instructions, the two young nurses nodded repeatedly to show that they understood.

Zhu Biao was stunned, not understanding what was going on until Yang Chen started to explain:

"The doctor is responsible for diagnosing the patient, while the nurse is responsible for observing the patient's recovery. If the patient is fine, he or she can be discharged smoothly. If the patient is not in good condition, he or she can go back to the doctor for diagnosis.

The two had a clear division of labor, just like the relationship between doctors and apprentices today."

After Yang Chen's explanation, Zhu Biao suddenly understood.

I wonder if the hospital can divide the work like this?
