My hotel is full of emperors throughout history.

Li Shimin and his two companions got out of the carriage and were instantly stunned.

Handong City People's Hospital

"People's...Hospital?"

Li Shimin subconsciously read it aloud in a low voice.

It's just four ordinary characters, but each one seems to weigh a ton.

Li Shimin was shocked.

He could understand the word "hospital," and the Imperial Medical Academy was a similar institution.

But the word "people"...

Li Shimin looked at the two large characters next to the hospital and gave Chen Mo a deep look.

"people?"

Zhu Di, standing to the side, frowned deeply, his eyes filled with a hint of confusion.

"This is a government-run clinic? Why is it called 'People's Clinic'? Could it be... that all the people here can come here for treatment? There's actually a government-run clinic of this scale?!"

In his understanding, government-run medical institutions primarily served the royal family, nobles, and officials.

As for traditional Chinese medicine practitioners who dispense medicine in the community, they are generally small in scale, much like modern private clinics.

When did the Imperial Hospital start treating ordinary people?

But now, they have seen such a large place with their own eyes.

Zhu Di remained silent for a long time.

From ancient times until his Yongle reign, there has never been a place or building named after a person.

Basically, they are either named after the donors or after important figures.

As for ordinary people?

Hehe~!

Chen Mo smiled slightly as he looked at the three shocked people.

"Yes, the People's Hospital is a state-run hospital where anyone can come to see a doctor when they are sick."

"Anyone can come?"

Li Shimin and Zhu Di were once again shocked by these words.

They looked at the endless stream of people, dressed in all sorts of clothes, men and women, young and old, rich and poor, noble and lowly.

The impact of this scene of equal access to medical care on all beings was no less than, and perhaps even greater than, that of the metal box that could run on its own.

"Alright! Stop standing there, hurry up and go in to register, otherwise you'll have to wait even longer when there are more people."

Chen Mo looked at the two people who were standing there in a daze and couldn't help but urge them on.

So the three of them hurriedly followed Chen Mo.

The moment you actually step into the hospital's outpatient hall, an even greater visual and auditory impact hits you.

As soon as you enter, a strong smell of disinfectant enters your nostrils.

The huge electronic display screen on the wall was filled with densely packed red text scrolling across it.

Various strangers were either queuing or weaving around, each holding a strange note...

Zhu Di looked around at the advanced equipment and the constant flow of people, then thought about his own Imperial Medical Academy of the Ming Dynasty...

A complex emotion, difficult to describe, welled up inside me.

Li Shimin, however, was even more delighted.

The more advanced something is, the less people understand it, the greater the probability that a skilled person can cure it!

Chen Mo turned his head away.

"Chengqian and I will go register. You two stay here and don't move."

Li Shimin and Zhu Di nodded.

Seeing this, Chen Mo seemed worried that the two might cause some trouble, so he continued to give them instructions.

"Don't think of yourself as an emperor here, or you'll be in trouble if people treat you like a lunatic."

"We understand."

Li Shimin and Zhu Di nodded again.

So Chen Mo took Gao Ming to register, while Li Shimin and Zhu Di found a corner.

Li Shimin's gaze remained fixed on Li Chengqian and Chen Mo, who were queuing at the registration desk.

Zhu Di, however, kept looking around, and finally his gaze settled on the electronic display screen above the hospital. He patted Li Shimin on the shoulder and clicked his tongue in admiration.

"Look at that thing! What's that for?"

Li Shimin followed his gaze and pondered for a moment.

"I think we should call out to someone, and then go see a doctor when their name is called."

"Isn't that troublesome?"

Zhu Di couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"So, even royalty will have to queue up with ordinary people?"

"Isn't this a bit too disrespectful of hierarchy?"

Li Shimin glanced at him.

"I think this is pretty good."

Zhu Di pursed his lips and looked around again. When he saw a door open, people went in, but then different people came out, he couldn't help but pat Li Shimin on the shoulder again.

"Look at that! The people who went in look completely different from those who came out!"

"..."

Li Shimin remained silent, only glancing at Zhu Di.

Zhu Di smiled awkwardly, his gaze shifted again, finally settling on a water dispenser, and then patted Li Shimin on the shoulder.

Are you thirsty?

"I'm not thirsty!"

"I'm a little thirsty!"

Why do you have so many problems?

Li Shimin turned his head impatiently and happened to see the water dispenser.

"Go get some water if you're thirsty!"

Zhu Di remained silent for a while.

"Fine, I'll go!"

After saying that, he strode towards the water dispenser.

When he got to the water dispenser, he first pondered the buttons, and then pressed them like the people who had used it before.

Wow!

Instantly, water sprayed all over the ground, soaking his trousers and shoes.

Zhu Di stiffened, his face flushing red at the stares of those around him. He pretended nothing had happened and silently retreated to Li Shimin's side.

When Li Shimin saw this, the corner of his mouth twitched. He forced himself to suppress his laughter and turned his head away, pretending to be serious.

"Hey! You're laughing, aren't you?"

"I wasn't laughing!"

You definitely laughed!

"I don't!"

You definitely laughed!

"I said no, and that's final!"

"Would you dare swear an oath to your ancestors?"

"You motherfucker! I... I said I didn't laugh, and that's final! And even if I did laugh, what can you do to me?"

"You actually smiled!"

Zhu Di's face darkened.

Finally, Chen Mo, who had managed to get an appointment, returned with Li Chengqian.

"The orthopedics department is on the third floor. Let's take the elevator there."

Upon hearing that they would be taking an elevator, Zhu Di became excited again and pointed to the small room he had seen earlier that he didn't understand.

"Is it that one?"

Chen Mo nodded.

Zhu Di laughed heartily.

"I knew I was right!"

"So this thing is called an elevator!"

Li Shimin glanced at him again and walked directly into the elevator.

Seeing Li Shimin enter the elevator, Li Chengqian followed him in.

Zhu Di was left standing there awkwardly.

Fortunately, he didn't care about any of that and quickly followed them into the elevator.

"Stand firm, everyone."

After Chen Mo finished speaking, he pressed the button for the third floor.

hum...

The elevator jolted violently, followed by a noticeable feeling of weightlessness, before the entire car began to rise steadily.

"!!!"

Li Shimin's body involuntarily leaned back slightly, his hand unconsciously gripping the armrest beside him, his knuckles turning slightly white.

"Tsk tsk! This thing probably runs on some kind of electricity too, right?"

Zhu Di was once again amazed.

"Amazing! Truly amazing! Ascent can be achieved without human intervention! If this were used in warfare, it would save a lot of trouble."

Li Chengqian remained silent, but his heart grew increasingly excited.

Finally, is the time to see if my leg can be cured?

"bite--"

A sudden feeling of weightlessness followed.

The door slowly opened, revealing the corridor on the third floor.

"We're here, this way."

Chen Mo stepped out of the elevator, with the other three following closely behind him.
