Chapter 1807 Imperial Conferment
Just after returning from training outside that day, he heard the sound of gongs beating to clear the way from the street. Shen Long hurried up to greet him, only to see Li Gongfu cheerfully accompanying the county magistrate to the entrance of Baohe Hall. Lord Magistrate!"
In the past, the county magistrate would have stood there fixedly, and would only nod slightly after Shen Long had fully saluted, even if it was a return, but today is different, as soon as Shen Long clenched his fists, the county magistrate hurried forward to throw him away. Stopped, "Han Wen, I can't be your courtesy now, let's be equal!"
After the ceremony, Shen Long welcomed the magistrate to the backyard to take a seat. In the past, Li Gongfu, who was not even qualified to enter the door, also used a chair in the hall because he was Shen Long's brother-in-law.
Bai Fu brought them tea, and the county magistrate hurriedly said, "Hanwen, what you and your wife have done has benefited countless people in the south of the Yangtze River! I have already written to the imperial court the righteous deeds of your Baohetang. According to what I said in the letters of the same year in the capital, Your Majesty and all the ministers in the court are very satisfied with your righteous deeds of Baohetang!"
"It is said that His Majesty has planned to let all states and counties in the world choose capable people to come to our Qiantang to learn how to use forceps from Mrs. Your Majesty!" The magistrate's face is flushed now, and he did not expect that he was sitting safely in the yamen. It's such a great thing to fall, and because I am the official of Qiantang's parents, my name can even be passed on to His Majesty's ears. Isn't it a matter of course that I will be promoted in the future?
And these are all because of Shen Long and Bai Suzhen, so he came here in advance to thank them! Moreover, his wife is also pregnant recently. The county magistrate is only in his forties. His wife and concubine have had several children before, but unfortunately they didn't raise them. Now they have the technology of delivering babies with a higher success rate. Without the reward from the imperial court, he also wanted to have a good relationship with Shen Long.
"Your Excellency's move can be said to benefit the people of the world. It is really kind. Your Excellency is worthy of being a Confucian with benevolence and righteousness. I am a good parent and official in Qiantang. I admire you!" Shen Long sent a rainbow fart, and the county magistrate was even happier.
"Haha, I can't afford it. This official is also honored by your Baohetang!" He was even happier when he heard about the county magistrate. He came here this time to build a good relationship with Shen Long so that in the future Can I ask Bai Suzhen to deliver his wife, and by the way, let Shen Long and Bai Suzhen help him say a few nice words in front of the imperial envoy.
Before he even opened his mouth, Shen Long took the initiative to express his kindness. How could the county magistrate not be overjoyed? When he was happy, he revealed some more information, "I heard from my childhood that the imperial court is discussing the reward for Mrs. Zun. If you have any ideas in Chinese, you have to move around quickly. Can I give you some pointers?"
"Then thank you magistrate!" In fact, Shen Long had already prepared, and he sent many rare treasures to King Liang. With King Liang helping to speak, the rewards this time must be stable.
The plague patients admitted to Qiantang last time,
It just benefits the whole place of Qiantang. Now the production of forceps will benefit the people all over the world, even the royal family will benefit from it. It is difficult for the concubines in the palace to encounter dystocia problems when they give birth. In this regard, the reward this time will definitely far exceed the previous one.
The two sides talked for a while, and the magistrate even looked through the training booklet drawn up by Bai Suzhen with great interest, and took a pair of forceps to study it carefully, and asked Shen Long a few questions from time to time. In the future, when the imperial envoy arrives, it is inevitable that he will be asked He also had to do his homework in advance.
The chat this time was a happy one, the magistrate even stayed in Baohe Hall and had dinner with Shen Long, and after drinking a few cups, the magistrate left with satisfaction.
After another half a month, the magistrate took Shen Long out of the city ten miles to meet him. The one who came back to deliver the decree was just a little eunuch, but this time it was a high-ranking court official who greeted the imperial envoy outside the city. , After seeing the ceremony, the group went directly to Baohe Hall.
Shen Long and the others set up the incense table to receive the decree, and the imperial envoy began to read the imperial decree in cadence. It probably meant that the imperial court heard that there was a civilian woman Bai Suzhen in Qiantang, who was good at medical skills, kind-hearted, and cared about the pain of childbirth. Greatly reduced the burden of maternal dystocia, countless survivors.
This is a matter of great merit, and the imperial court should commend it, so now Bai Suzhen, a civilian woman, is conferred the title of "Hongren Puji Protecting Tzu Chi Young Lady", and allocated money to let the magistrate of Qiantang build a memorial archway for Bai Suzhen to demonstrate her achievements. There are also costumes for married women, gold and silver jewelry, the queen's last jewelry, etc., which are full of several boxes.
Hearing this, Shen Long felt that it was all right. This is the rhythm of enshrining the gods. In a few decades, after he and Bai Suzhen escaped by feigning death, the imperial court will definitely build a temple for them immediately, and Bai Suzhen will be able to Enjoy the incense offerings, and with this title, you will not be afraid of Avalokitesvara coming in person.
In addition, I heard that the palaces and temples in Qiantang County also contributed a lot to this matter. Is such a righteous deed worthy of commendation? Wen Tianxiang was awarded the title of "Protecting the Country and Blessing the Holy King, the City God of Jiangnan", and promoted Wen Tianxiang from Qiantang City God to The City God of the Jiangnan City, if this is put in the officialdom, it is equivalent to promoting a county magistrate...at most a magistrate to the position of Governor of Liangjiang in one fell swoop.
The king is also promoted, and the city god is generally divided into four levels: king, duke, marquis, and uncle. Wen Tianxiang has now become the top existence among the city gods.
As for other palaces and temples, there are also rewards, such as awarding plaques, or adding titles to abbots and improving their ranks. No one who participated in this matter was missed. The mage, the abbot of Dongxiao Palace and Baiyun Nunnery, and the temple masters were all delighted from ear to ear.
Of course, the county magistrate did not fall behind. The emperor praised him several times in the imperial decree, asking him to continue to manage Qiantang well and help Shen Long and Bai Suzhen do a good job in promoting forceps. The magistrate already knew that after this matter was done, He will be able to skip a level and be promoted to prefect.
Finally, a few people came out from behind the imperial envoy, these are midwives in the palace, they will stay in Qiantang, learn medical skills from Bai Suzhen, so that they can save money for the concubines in the palace and the nobles in Beijing when they go back.
After the imperial decree was issued, Shen Long and the county magistrate accompanied the imperial envoy to a banquet in the building outside the building, and the rest of the people spread the news everywhere, and the whole Qiantang was immersed in joy.
Except for the abbot who went to Tianzhu Temple, he was not mentioned in the imperial decree. The abbot sighed after hearing this, and then knelt down in front of the Guanyin statue and began to pray.
