Doctors in the late Ming Dynasty

After Wu Kun finished talking about the medical examination, he thought of another thing: "By the way, Mr. Hui, you are smart. I will tell you one more thing, and you can make up your mind."

When Zhang Jiebin heard Wu Kun praise him, he immediately said: "Brother Shanfu, please tell me and I will give you a satisfactory answer."

"This matter is also related to the "General Regulations". When I was reading the regulations, I accidentally found a case where monks in Jiangnan were practicing "casting lots to shoot profits"..."

As Wu Kun told the story, a Yuan Dynasty version of the welfare lottery case slowly unfolded. It turned out that in order to solve the financial problem of building temples and pagodas, monks in the south of the Yangtze River used dozens of extremely attractive items as grand prizes.

Lotteries made of bamboo and wood are widely released to the public, and finally the winner of the grand prize is announced through a public drawing of lots.

This is "drawing lots to shoot profits", which is exactly the same as the modern welfare lottery. Whenever the big prize is announced, thousands of believers flock to the temple with lottery chips in their hands, which is more popular than the temple fair.

The popularity of "casting lots for profit" has caused temples to bloom all over the south of the Yangtze River. Even ancient temples in deep mountains and old forests have abandoned the backward method of alms and adopted the advanced "casting lots for profit".

In the end, Wu Kun said with some regret: "Because there were no restrictions, 'drawing lots for profit' gradually changed from raising funds to build temples to a way for monks to make money. It was eventually banned by the Yuan Dynasty on suspicion of gambling."

Zhang Jiebin was confused when he heard this. What kind of books are these? The medical examination was shocking enough, but another lottery result came out.

"Isn't this "Tongzhi Tiaoge" the Yuan Dynasty version of "Da Ming Law"?"

When Zhang Jiebin suddenly asked, Wu Kun thought for a while and said, "It should be considered the Yuan version of "Da Gao"."

"No wonder." Zhang Jiebin suddenly understood. This is not difficult to understand: "This is a good book. I have to make a copy and study it carefully."

"We'll talk about this later. You give me an idea first," Wu Kun said.

Zhang Jiebin smiled and said: "I understand what Brother Shanfu means. You want to take advantage of this big competition to have a 'drawing lots for profit', right?"

"Your Majesty still understands me." Wu Kun laughed.

"I didn't know Brother Shanfu yet, but I realized ten years ago that you are the most business-minded among doctors."

"We were so miserable back then that we had no money to spend, but you made money everywhere, just helping Master Gong with his book repairs and attending clinics at Yiyi Hall. You actually secretly participated in poetry and lantern festivals to make money without telling everyone. It was such a nourishing little life."

Wu Kun laughed loudly: "Beijing is expensive, and you know that as soon as I started studying, I turned my back on things outside the window and didn't save some money. I was afraid of starving to death and no one would collect my body!"

Zhang Jiebin also laughed. Compared to the sharp-edged Ma Shi, he preferred the more down-to-earth Wu Kun.

"To be honest, I think this 'casting lots for profit' will work. Think about it, what's the difference between it and guessing lantern riddles? Why not charge a small running fee for such a big event?"

Speaking of this, Zhang Jiebin laughed: "I think it's not just monks who have brains. Look at the Taoist priests in Lingji Palace. Most of them make money by giving lectures. Now they don't care about the incense money."

Wu Kun also laughed when he heard this. The Taoist priests in Lingji Palace have always been unprofessional and keen on inviting people to give lectures. Tickets for thousands of people at a time, VIP seats and so on were all made clear. Except for Zhang Juzheng who had been silent for ten years after he came to power. , returned to his duties as a Taoist priest.

But as soon as Zhang Juzheng died, he returned to his original state, and his life was much more nourishing than that of Guangfu Temple and Baiyun Temple.

Guangfu Temple and Baiyun Temple are not ordinary Taoist temples. The former is the seat of the famous Daolu Division, which manages Taoist affairs in the world. The latter is the ancestral hall of Quanzhen Sect and the holy place of Quanzhen followers in the world.

But when it comes to the officialdom and literary status in the capital, Guangfu and Baiyun combined cannot equal the Lingji Palace.

The Taoist priests of Lingji Palace occupied the top position for a long time in terms of teaching and construction, and it was not until many years later that it was replaced by Shoushan Academy.

"Second and first place..."

The two were chatting so excitedly that they completely forgot that they were watching the rankings. After saying this, the two began to discuss how to use this national competition to draw lots.

Although they didn't pay attention, there was suddenly a burst of heated discussion at the scene.

Zhang Jiebin was suddenly interrupted while he was talking, and asked curiously: "Brother Zhao, what's going on?"

Zhao Fengxiang said excitedly: "Yu Yaori ranked first in the second grade of high school."

"Oh? This is the first place in the second class. What about you, you should also be in the second class, right?" Zhang Jiebin didn't expect it to be so fast and asked casually.

"Oh, there are too many masters. I didn't make it to the second level, but only the third place in the top three." Zhao Fengxiang shook his head and said.

"Everyone is so excited to win the first place in the second-level competition. Shouldn't the first-level competition go crazy?" As soon as Zhang Jiebin said this, the scene became lively again.

Everyone was shouting "Wu Kun" and "Wu Li Mu", and they were even more excited than they were in high school.

"Shanfu, congratulations on your third place in the first class of high school. You deserve it." Zhang Jiebin became happy for Wu Kun when he heard that he won the first class.

Wu Kun laughed loudly, he was quite satisfied with this third place.

"There are only two lists left. I won't fail, right? Have you heard my name?" Zhang Jiebin was also a little worried at this time. Previously he was just talking and didn't listen to Chen Shigong reading the list. When he wanted to come to the top four young people It is normal for doctors to take all the top four spots.

Wu Kun was very happy when he heard it, and Chen Shigong, who read the list, also knew the rhythm very well. He read the list more slowly as he got to the first few places, which whetted everyone's appetite.

"Brother Yu Ren, it's true. If there weren't only two lists left and there were so many people, I would have just squeezed in and watched them all."

Zhang Jiebin was furious when he saw Chen Shigong going around in circles but not thinking about the last two.

"I believe everyone wants to know who is at the top of the list. Alas, forget about the people in front of you. It will be boring if you say it."

"By the way, the number of contestants this time is half and half between Taiyuan Hospital and Gyeonggi Prefecture. However, most of the names on the list are taken by our Taiyuan Hospital. Does anyone think there is an inside story?"

Everyone laughed when they heard this, and no one would question the people of Tai Hospital, especially since ten years ago, a large number of doctors from the north were admitted to the hospital, and extensive contacts were established. They all knew that there are so many experts in Tai Hospital today.

"Whether you doubt it or believe it, everyone who has taken the exam knows that the questions this time are really difficult. I have never done so poorly in an exam."

Everyone burst into laughter again.

Zhang Jiebin asked curiously: "Brother Yu Ren also performed abnormally this time? Second-class or third-class?"

"The fourth place in the second class. Brother Yu Ren is good at surgery, and this time he mainly took the exam for internal medicine, so his ranking is a little lower." Wu Kun said.

Zhang Jiebin said suspiciously: "Hey, every time I ask about the key point, you keep silent. Did you read my name before? Brother Shanfu, I'm afraid you knew the list a long time ago and deliberately led me to talk to torture me, right? ?”

Wu Kun smiled and said nothing. At this moment, Chen Shigong said: "Okay, I'm afraid if I keep talking, someone will come up and beat me up. Next up will be the top two of the first class that everyone is eyeing!"

As soon as these words came out, the scene suddenly became quiet.

"First place and second place, Ma Shi!"

A few cheers were sparsely remembered at the scene, which was completely different from the previous bustle. After a while, uneven cheers came out one after another, but they all seemed weak.

This time, Chen Shigong did not continue to talk about it, but said loudly: "It seems that everyone's attention is focused on the top spot. I disappoint everyone. The first place in the first class is not that I am a hospital person."

Many people who were not listed on the list began to have hope. All the strong opponents had been eliminated, so wouldn't it be that you were the only one left?

From Zhang Jiebin to Yang Chengzhen and Zhu Guodong, from the failed students in Taiyuan Hospital to the failed students in Gyeonggi Prefecture, they all chanted their names in their hearts. It was as if sincerity at this moment could change their destiny.

Yang Chengzhen and Zhu Guodong looked at each other.

Yang Chengzhen said: "There is only one person left. Brother Zhu seems to be out of luck."

Zhu Guodong glanced at him: "Didn't you hear? I'm not from the hospital. It's a pity for Brother Yang."

Although the two heard it clearly, they still felt a sense of luck in their hearts. As long as the first one didn't think about it for a moment, it meant there was hope.

Wu Xueyi looked at the two of them with a wry smile, and began to mourn for their tragic fate. After all, he was still ranked among Sun Shan, but the two classmates were outside Sun Shan, and they were inevitably treated to a meal of yellow vitex strips when they returned home.

"Now I announce the name of the top one, Shanyin Zhang Jiebin!"

Zhang Jiebin's eyes widened when he heard this. He didn't expect that he actually won the first place. In the previous dynasty, he would have been the top medical scholar!

As soon as the words "Shanyin Zhang Jiebin" came out, the scene was quiet at first, and after a while, they started to communicate one after another, and then became excited. I am reading a book.

"Who is Zhang Jiebin?"

"have no idea."

"Which mansion is Shanyin in?"

"Shanyin County, Shaoxing Prefecture, the place where Lanting gathered."

"This is not my land in Gyeonggi Province!"

"That's right, you're not from the hospital, so why should you occupy our quota?"

"That's right, it's not fair. Medical science is prosperous in the south. It's okay if you're from the Imperial Hospital. How can anyone just grab our spot?"

"Protest, let's go and ask for an explanation," one person shouted.

"Let's go together! Let's go!" Many people agreed.

Soon the dissatisfaction of the failed students in Gyeonggi gathered together and vented their emotions through protests.

Zhang Jiebin was in the middle of it, and he was completely confused and had no idea what was going on.

Wu Kun reacted at this time and exclaimed: "What's wrong, I have always regarded the general as a member of the imperial hospital, but I forgot about my place of origin."

"I have lived in Beijing for ten years, and I have settled down in Yongfang since then. Am I still not considered a native of the capital?" Zhang Jiebin said angrily.

"Oh, everyone has failed the exam and is in a bad mood. Who can stay rational at this time? Brother Yu Ren is out of luck this time." Wu Kun said anxiously.

But as the crowd was furious, he had no choice but to worry secretly. Zhang Jiebin calmed down at this time, knowing that it was better to block the situation than to block it, and comforted him: "It's okay, just look at me."

Zhang Jiebin, who was already in the crowd, stood up and shouted loudly: "Protest! Protest!"

"Those who are protesting should follow me and seek an explanation from Taiyuan Hospital."

The foundation laid by practicing martial arts since childhood and the effect of five years of military camp experience were brought into full play at this moment. Zhang Jiebin aroused everyone's emotions as soon as he spoke out.

The crowd was like a raging flood that finally found an outlet. Following Zhang Jiebin's call and pace, they headed towards the official hall.

After the angry crowd left, only rational people were left behind. Most of them were from Taiyuan Hospital, and some of them knew Zhang Jiebin, such as Chen Shigong, Ma Shi and Wu Kun.

From the moment Zhang Jiebin opened his mouth, they were dumbfounded.

"Down with Shanyin Zhang Jiebin!"

"Just give me justice! Open re-examination!"
