Doctors in the late Ming Dynasty

Zhang Jiebin was originally full of confidence, but when Wang Rumei explained to him the complex network of relationships in Qizhou, he was stunned. Only at this moment did he understand how difficult it is to govern a place.

This is just business involving so many gangs, not to mention scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, how complicated are all walks of life? How easy is it to sort these out?

"Thank you, Mr. Wang, for your advice!" After coming back to his senses, Zhang Jiebin bowed deeply. Wang Rumei's short words gave him practical experience that could be applied to hundreds of prefectures and thousands of counties in the Ming Dynasty. A leaf tells the autumn,

That's the truth.

"Children can be taught!" Wang Rumei praised.

"Although I have been hanging out in the market since I was a child, the people I have come into contact with are all moral gentlemen and erudite people, and I have not been exposed to the dark side. This is my shortcoming. I will travel more in the future to make up for my shortcomings." Zhang Jiebin thought to himself.

Tao.

Ten years later, he returned from the Korean battlefield, abandoned his armor and walked around the world with a sword, traveled to Yan and Zhao, and inquired about the East China Sea. Finally, he achieved enlightenment, returned to medicine, and began to write books, becoming a great master.

When the time came to the Qing Dynasty, the Yaowang Temple in Qizhou had auxiliary halls on the north and south sides of the temple pavilion. The north hall was dedicated to Hua Tuo, Zhang Jiebin, Liu Hejian, Sun Lin, Zhang Zihe, and the south hall was dedicated to Bian Que, Zhang Zhongjing, Sun Simiao, Xu Wenbo,

Huangfu Shi'an, the north and south halls are also known as the Hall of Famous Doctors.

Zhang Jiebin and Zhang Zhongjing are in the same second place, second only to Hua Tuo and Bian Que, and above Zhang Zihe, Liu Hejian, etc. If Zhang Jiebin can become one of the top ten famous doctors and be worshiped among them, and enjoy incense and sacrifices every year, we know that he is

It has a high status in the medical community.

His fate with this land came from ten years ago. When he walked out of the small town of Shanyin, he walked into the history of the Ming Dynasty and made a splash in this era.

Zhang Jiebin stayed in Wenchang Palace until the end of the cultural conference. Many talents emerged in this cultural conference, especially the locals from Qizhou, which was very surprising.

But what Zhang Jiebin is most interested in is Sun Chengzong of Gaoyang, Feng Congwu of Chang'an and Wu Zhiwang of Tongguan. Sun Chengzong's song "The Fisherman" shows his compassion and his heart to pray for the people, which is very similar to the benevolence of a doctor.

Feng Congwu and Wu Zhiwang, who came from Xi'an Prefecture, were also amazing. Not to mention Feng Congwu's poetic talent, Wu Zhiwang was also proficient in medicine, and Zhang Jiebin had a great time discussing medicine with them.

After the cultural meeting, Zhang Jiebin came to the Medical Yamen. Li Yingshi and Chen Jisheng were still waiting in the hospital. When they asked about the Dian Ke, it turned out that they had not returned yet.

Menzi kindly said: "Your Excellency may not come to sit in the hall today. You can try your luck at the Pichang Wang Temple. You might be there!"

"Where is the temple of Pi Chang Wang?" Zhang Jiebin asked casually.

"I know, Brother Zhang, Pichang Wang Temple is Yaowang Temple, and everyone calls it that!" Chen Jisheng said excitedly.

Zhang Jiebin nodded and said: "Then let's go to Yaowang Temple and have a casual meal. Thank you for the hospitality, let's go first."

Li Yingshi and Chen Jisheng also saluted and thanked each other one after another. The three of them walked southward, leaving the city for only two miles before entering the outskirts of the Yaowang Temple Market. In addition to street stalls and farmers, there were also drug dealers and Linxing tourists.

The Yaowang Temple Fair has more wholesale volume than retail sales and more people. Eighty percent of them can be regarded as traders. There are almost as many buyers and sellers, and 80% of the buyers and sellers are outside merchants.

Among the 20% of the local people, one is a businessman, another is a medicine farmer, another is a medicine worker, and the other is a pedestrian.

Li Yingshi said at this time: "I went back to the Medical Yamen and asked my father-in-law. The number of households in Qizhou City is only 1,800. A family of about seven or eight people has about 13,000 to 13,000 people. There are about 3,000 people in the city and 3,000 people outside the city.

Over ten thousand."

"Well, I heard that this was a population census conducted ten years ago to implement a whipping law. However, servants, maids, brothels, theaters, temples, gangs and beggars are not counted as the population. The focus of the census is still the population on the land. It cannot be excluded.

Concealing the situation."

Zhang Jiebin nodded and asked: "You are from Jinyiwei, and asking for information is your specialty. In your opinion, how much do farmers conceal and how much do city dwellers conceal?"

Li Yingshi pondered for a moment, roughly calculated the flow of people, and after considering the number of locals and foreigners, he said: "Farmers probably concealed 10% of the total, and city residents at least 20%."

"Three thousand six, ten thousand thirty-four." Zhang Jiebin quickly calculated the approximate number of people in urban and rural areas, and asked: "How many servants, maids, brothels, theaters, temples, and gangs of beggars are there?"

"It's not easy to forget. Every place is different. Qizhou's situation is special. There are many outsiders, so there are naturally more gangs and beggars. There are more people, more incense and more temples."

"There are hundreds of wealthy households in the city and hundreds of households in the countryside. On average, one household has five servants and maids, which is a thousand people."

"There are three brothels in the city, with more than 50 people, and the number of secret prostitutes is about the same. Yaowang Temple is equal to the city. In addition to the city, Yaowang Temple also has ten water and land merchant towns, and the number of prostitutes is about the same as in the two places. In this way, the number of prostitutes in the open and covert areas is the same.

There should be four hundred."

"There are about a hundred Taoist temples. On average, there are ten people in each temple, and there should be thousands of people."
