Yu Zizhen, who also noticed that they were quietly approaching this side, looked up and gave a wink to Yuheng and Yaoguang.
The two understood and immediately followed Yu Zizhen's instructions, calling out in clear, childish voices, "Free clinic, free clinic! Just give our two doctors a pulse check and you can get a bowl of hot dumpling soup with eggs in the big pot. If anyone is found to be unwell, our two doctors will prescribe free medicine."
Perhaps because children looked more harmless, those little beggars who were originally a little afraid of Yu Zizhen and others, under the constant shouting of Yuheng and Yaoguang, a small number of them actually tentatively walked towards the location where Yu Zizhen and Doctor Feng were.
Seeing this, Yu Heng immediately signaled them to go to Yu Zizhen to queue up first. "First, let our young doctor take your pulse, then go to our doctor Feng for a repeat consultation. After that, you can go get the knot soup."
The leading children were all around ten years old. When they heard Yuheng's words, they immediately realized that Yu Zizhen should be an apprentice in a medical clinic who followed his master to learn how to diagnose and prescribe medicine.
Being able to get to this point proves that the young doctor's medical skills have been initially recognized by his master. So even if he did not bring the doctor next to him, they would dare to accept his diagnosis and prescription for them.
After all, there are no proper doctors in many rural areas, and many of the people who treat them are former clinic clerks who only have a basic understanding of medicine.
If such a mediocre doctor can diagnose and prescribe medicine, how can the serious apprentices in the medical clinic have the right to be picky?
Not to mention that they brought their own master, and after taking the pulse, they would get a bowl of hot and fragrant dumpling soup for free.
The little beggars, who had weighed the pros and cons in an instant, lined up in front of Yu Zizhen without hesitation.
Yu Zizhen smiled and gestured to the child standing at the front of the line to sit down. The child was a little flattered by her exceptionally friendly attitude. He sat on the small square stool a little stiffly, and then at Yu Zizhen's gesture, he put his dirty wrist on the pulse pillow.
Yu Zizhen didn't mind their dirtiness at all. She took the pulse and prescribed medicine for every child who came to queue up with a normal expression, and then gestured for them to go to Dr. Feng for a follow-up consultation.
Doctor Feng had been told by Yu Zizhen before coming here that Yu Zizhen was here to practice his skills in taking pulses and prescribing medicine, so even though he was not used to the patients' dirtiness and mess, he did not dare to be perfunctory.
Yu Zizhen would carefully examine the pulse of every patient he had examined again.
After the diagnosis, if a problem was found, he would take the prescription written by Yu Zizhen to see if her medication and combination were appropriate.
If he could not find any problems with the prescription, he would arrange for his little medicine boy to get the medicine for the other party, but if he could find any problems, he would first discuss the symptoms and prescription with Yu Zizhen.
Sometimes it was Dr. Feng who persuaded Yu Zizhen, and sometimes it was Yu Zizhen who persuaded Dr. Feng. And every time Yu Zizhen persuaded Dr. Feng, Dr. Feng would benefit greatly from her detailed interpretation of the prescription.
He gradually realized that this free clinic, which he had initially defined as "accompanying the prince to study" with some intention of trying to please the young master and having fun, was not actually a benefit to Yu Zizhen alone.
He had never come across Yu Zizhen's novel ways of using medicine before, but they were completely reasonable from a medical perspective and were even more sophisticated than the conventional prescriptions he had come across before.
After realizing this, Doctor Feng even forgot he was treating the beggar he had secretly despised. His curiosity about the unknown world made him completely absorbed in it, and his mind and eyes were filled with only two things: the symptoms and the prescription.
The two of them were busy in the dilapidated temple for nearly a whole day and didn't even have lunch. It was not until the sun was setting and the lower edge was about to sink into the distant mountains that Yu Zizhen signaled the guards and attendants to pack up.
Thanks to the system, the god of information, the medicinal materials brought by Yu Zizhen were not in short supply. He checked the pulse of everyone and prescribed medicine for all the sick and injured people. There was still half a basket of medicinal materials left.
Medicinal herbs should not be taken randomly, so Yu Zizhen had them all collected and taken away. However, she had the remaining dumpling soup distributed equally among the dozen or so patients and wounded in the dilapidated temple.
The others looked at those people with envy. It was so great! They also wanted to have two more good meals.
Yu Zizhen had been observing these people carefully and found that there was only envy on their faces, and no bad emotions such as jealousy or desire to rob. He couldn't help feeling a little relieved.
These children deserve a chance as they are able to maintain the basic principles of being a human being after falling into the situation of beggars.
Of course, because he was not confident in his judgment of people, Yu Zizhen did not intend to express his plan now.
She wanted to see if the children would still be as well-behaved as they were now after she and the people she brought with her left.
Fortunately, the performance of those children did not disappoint her. Even though Yu Zizhen and others who could intimidate them had left, they did not rush away to grab the sick and wounded who had gained more benefits.
Yu Zizhen waited until the carriage drove into the Zhenbei Palace before instructing Yuheng to invite Jiang Yunshan over.
He ordered Jiang Yunshan to send the little beggars to the farm she had just bought, "clean them up, feed them, and clothe them warmly. Treat any sick or injured ones, and then arrange for someone to teach them."
As for those elderly and disabled beggars who can no longer bear the high-intensity study, "As for the elderly and disabled, you should also arrange a job within their ability."
Those old and disabled beggars were either driven out of their homes by their own children and grandchildren, but they did not have the heart to sue their children and grandchildren for being unfilial, or they had suffered accidents, persecution, or their families were broken up, or they were abandoned by their families after becoming disabled.
These people may not be able to do heavy work, but they can do light work such as guarding the gate, weaving baskets, and twisting hemp ropes.
Yu Zizhen didn't expect them to make much contribution to her. She just didn't want them to get used to her and take her kindness for granted.
She briefly told Jiang Yunshan about her ideas, and then asked Jiang Yunshan to get busy before curfew.
Jiang Yunshan acted quickly. Before those bad guys who wanted to tamper with the beggars' medicine and then frame Yu Zizhen for killing someone could take action, Jiang Yunshan had already packed up all the beggars and sent them away.
