Chapter 55: The Flood (3)
Silver is the most important thing at this time, and when Emperor Mingde heard that there was a way to collect silver, he was immediately interested, and asked: "How to collect?" ”
In his impression, it was also fundraising.
"Let's let the people spend the money in advance for future medical treatment and medicine." He smiled mysteriously, walked up to Qiu Jishi, looked at him, and asked, "Is there a doctor in Lord Qiu's family?" ”
The middle and upper class families all have doctors in their families, only for the treatment of the family.
Qiu Ji didn't understand what he meant, so he nodded honestly, "Yes." ”
"So, Lord Qiu, will your doctor go to the hall to see the people?" He asked again.
Qiu Jishi shook his head, "Don't go." ”
This seemed to be the answer Huo Baichuan needed, and after he finished asking, he turned to Emperor Mingde and said: "Your Majesty, the common people can afford to be sick, but they can't find a good doctor, and those who have a good doctor can't afford to spend money, and if they see a doctor, they can't afford to buy life-saving medicine, what should I do?" ”
After hearing this, the ministers were so unspeakable, they asked the emperor what to do, if the emperor knew, what else would you do here?
Emperor Mingde is actually quite snobbish, Huo Baichuan is the successor of the Huo family, he is willing to give face, and asks: "How to do it?" ”
"We have Imperial Doctors, as well as medical books, and Imperial Physician Peng is compiling medical canons, and we have Guozijian to teach poetry, songs, rituals, and music, but can these save lives? No, I don't mean that if you can't save your life, you don't have to learn. When he said this, he walked up to Zhou Lixing, "We want to open a medical department." ”
Zhou Lixing was horrified by him and took two steps back. "What are you watching me do?"
"Master Zhou, when you were studying in the academy, did you ever think about learning what the account room knows?" He asked with a smile. It has nothing to do with the previous sentence at all.
"Etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, mathematics, the six arts, naturally have to be learned, but how can Master Huo call the nine subjects of the number the study of the bookkeeper?" This metaphor made him very dissatisfied.
Huo Baichuan didn't pay attention to it, he turned to Emperor Mingde and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Qiu has added an engineering department. A medical department was added to the department to teach the skills of curing diseases and saving people. ”
"Far water can't dissolve near fire." Yang Zhong said slowly.
"Your Majesty, now there are pharmacies in every town. There are doctors in the pharmacy, and if we set up an organization, these doctors will be organized into the institution and managed in a unified manner. Counted as a court hospital. Responsible for the medical treatment of a certain area, give a monthly salary, and the people need to pay a few copper plates per month according to the capitation, the minister will call these copper plates medical security, pay the medical insurance, when there is an illness and accident, come to see the doctor and buy medicine, and the medical expenses are borne by the court and the patient at the same time. What do you think? ”
"In the early days, we requisitioned folk pharmacies, and after a few years, we trained a large number of doctors. You can send it to various places, sit on one side, and set up a court doctor, do you think it is feasible? ”
Emperor Mingde's eyes burst out like discovering a new continent after listening to his words, although the medical expenses of the sick were borne by the imperial court and individuals, but the monthly taxes and fees collected per capita were also a large amount of money, so that the circulation continued, the imperial court had no burden at all, and the common people could afford to take medicine for the disease, and they would be grateful to the imperial court, so that cohesion was formed.
However, even if he only needs to pay a small amount of money, some families cannot afford it, so he can't help asking, "How will this fee be charged?" ”
"This is simple, determined by income, for example, Zhou Daren's monthly salary is three taels, and thirty taels of silver are taken in these three taels, and the family has many industries, the monthly profit is thirty taels, and the profit of these thirty taels is charged three hundred taels, plus the overall payment of three copper plates, remember, it is according to the head." In this way, those with high incomes pay more, and those with low incomes pay less, and the gap between the rich and the poor can be controlled a little.
"And what if the people don't believe it and can't afford to pay it? It is also feasible to pay some flour and sorghum, but it is not possible, the imperial court builds gardens or paves roads, ships or something, and the workmanship can be deducted. Such public anger will only accumulate deeper, Your Majesty, what do you say? ”
At this time, it seems that he is the only courtier, and the method is a good way, but everything is difficult at the beginning, who will do it? If you anger the pharmacists, it will be even worse, you need to know that behind many pharmacies and pharmacists are powerful families.
Don't offend lightly.
"It's a good policy, according to Aiqing's intentions, who is the right person to do this?" It was clear that Emperor Mingde had seen through the value of this period, but he also knew that it would not be easy to do.
Huo Baichuan threw off his robe and knelt down, and saluted: "The minister is willing to share the worries for the king, but the minister has one thing that needs the emperor's permission." ”
As long as the old system can be broken, as long as the new law can be implemented smoothly, Emperor Mingde can grant anything, he bowed his head, "Tell me to listen." ”
"The minister should add the family land tax and business tax." This record is like a thunderclap that shocked Yang Zhong and other old parties, the emperor has secretly alluded to it many times over the years, and he didn't dare to say it openly, but he didn't expect this son to live a leisurely life for all these years, and the natural disaster is current, but he has attracted the attention of the family, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead!
Immediately, Yang Zhong stood up and fought back in a cold voice, "Your Majesty, by all means, now that the family has a large population, the poll tax alone has made the ministers miserable, if the field tax and commercial tax are increased again, the ministers don't know how to feed the family, not to mention that we are scholars, how can we increase the commercial tax?" Lord Huo compares us to lowly businessmen? ”
In the face of Yangzhong's accusations, Xie Yun and Qiu Jishi hurriedly stood up to help, "Your Majesty, the ministers are willing to pay more land taxes and commercial taxes, not because the ministers compare themselves with the merchants, but because there are indeed many shops in the family industry of the ministers, and according to the ministers, more than seventy percent of the shops in the city are the industries of the children of the family." ”
"When the national crisis is at the head, the treasury is not abundant, what is the reason? The common people can't afford the heavy taxes, the treasury is naturally not abundant, although the commercial tax is high, but the shops in the seven cities are under the wing of the family that does not need to pay commercial tax, try to ask how the treasury is abundant? Xie Yun's words were chiseled and loud.
However, there were far more people in the old party than in the new party, Yang Zhong's eyes were cold, he threw off his robe and knelt down, and knelt with him. The Manchu Dynasty knelt seven-tenths of the way, "Minister, oppose!" ”
Voices of opposition. It was loud and neat, as if it was about to burst Emperor Mingde's eardrums.
"This matter is ......" Emperor Mingde looked at the more than seventy percent of the courtiers in the Manchu Dynasty who were opposed, and he was unwilling to say that he would discuss it later.
But Huo Baichuan interrupted him, "Your Majesty, please ask the emperor to give the minister the right to transfer troops, the minister doesn't want much, as long as General Peng." He was referring to Peng Rui.
Emperor Mingde had a tacit understanding with him at this time. But in order to be sure, he said sternly: "You love the right to serve the country, yes." ”
Finish with two words. He was like a worm on the dragon chair, so he waved his hand and retreated, and he didn't look at the expressions of Yang Zhong and the other old party who were about to hit the pillar and die, and even some courtiers had stood up and pointed at the back of his head and scolded: "Faint king!" The sky is going to die! ”
Such a big rebellion, ** naked threat. But Emperor Mingde couldn't be angry, and ordered someone to take it down and cut it down.
Liang Yunsi cleverly took Luo Hu's recital. Shouted: "Retreat!" He followed Emperor Mingde, went to the harem from the side door, Emperor Mingde didn't go anywhere, found a pavilion in the imperial garden and sat down to watch Luo Hu's performance slowly.
After watching the recital, his face was like winter snow, his eyes seemed to be about to erupt fire, and his face was already angry, "Come on, check it out for me!" Check it out! ”
There are only Liang Yunsi and a group of eunuchs and palace maids here. There were no courtiers, so Liang Yunsi listened to it and asked suspiciously: "Your Majesty." Which adult do you want to check? The servants summoned him. ”
Emperor Mingde slammed the fold on the stone table, "Let the people of Zhongshu Province draw up a decree, King Yong will go to Chu County to control the water, Hu Lin will go to find out who is stranded in the emergency, and no one will report the flood in Chu County!" Outrageous. "Chu County is much closer to the capital than Shuzhong, and it is already very unusual for the emergency report from Jiangnan and Shuzhong to arrive at the same time, and no one from Chu County has come to report the big water!
It's just too much to take the dynasty in his eyes, and too little to take him as an emperor!
After Liang Yunsi received the order, he lowered his voice and said, "Your Majesty, Lord Wei went to Beiding Mansion. ”
The meaning is already very clear, Emperor Mingde sneered when he heard it, "What kind of storm can the descendants of the defeated generals under Taizu turn up?" If the Beizhong family is really so competitive, can they raise a child like Sun Zhong's? However, it is not unguarded, this matter is handed over to Wang Jiyang to handle, and let him set off immediately. ”
"Yes." Liang Yunsi has been by Emperor Mingde's side for decades, although he is only a eunuch, he has heard and seen it for a long time, and he also knows what the opportunity is, if the disaster strikes today, it is the opportunity.
The opportunity to rebel and the opportunity to rebel, so Huo Baichuan wants to start changing the law at this juncture, and others will also raise troops during this time.
A qiē doesn't need to be investigated, you can figure it out with your toes.
Zhao Shu was stunned when she learned that Huo Baichuan had started medical insurance in Dayong, just like reading a novel in modern times, and the author of the novel was surprised that there was no multiplication formula in ancient times.
It is important to know that the multiplication formula has existed since the Warring States period.
After being surprised, I took it for granted, but this matter has nothing to do with her, the court let me pay taxes, just pay it, let me pay medical insurance, just pay it.
summoned Scarlet Peng and said: "The imperial court wants to levy medical insurance, you go and calculate it, and all the expenses of everyone in the palace will be paid by the palace." ”
Huo Baichuan was very efficient, and with the permission of Emperor Mingde, he immediately wrote this initiative into a vernacular and posted it at the gate of the city, and soon the people of the whole city knew about it, and the imperial court issued a new decree, so that in the future, you can see a doctor and buy medicine for less silver!
Scarlet Peng naturally also knew, and was about to hand it over, at this time after listening to Zhao Shu's words, he couldn't help but feel shocked, the moonsilver of the palace is the highest in the capital, and the treatment is the best, I didn't expect that even the silver that the court wants to collect, the county lord can also generously come out of the palace account, such a master, who can still have a little rebellion?
Poofong knelt down, and without saying a word, he kowtowed three times, "Thank you for the great grace of the county lord." ”
"Get up, the renovation of Jiangying Park must be completed as soon as possible." Zhao Shu is just picking up people's teeth, if she only has a few taels of silver, she will make her people more loyal, why not?
"Yes." Scarlet Peng stood up according to his words, and did not regret staying in the palace at all, even if he was a humble businessman, he was also willing to be happy, Scarlet Chi is now an official of the imperial court, and he also has a mansion in the capital, but he did not choose to go back, but continued to stay in the palace, and now he swears that he will protect the palace and not let those ghosts and spirits pour dirty water on the palace.
After receiving the order, he simply reported the matter of the Yiguang Hou Mansion, "The county lord can rest assured, the matter of the Yi Guanghou Mansion has been dealt with, the person is a scoundrel, and the son is also a beggar pretending, the woman died of eating the broken intestine grass by mistake, and now the person has been taken into custody of the official mansion, there are two imperial doctors, and everyone has bought our goods again." ”
Such a carving insect skill. It's easy to break it, but she doesn't care, when she was going to do business. Finding the cooperation of the Tai Hospital's doctors is to prevent someone from splashing dirty water with indiscriminate means.
"You go down, the flower market must be done when the victims enter the city, and send some people to teach the victims how to sell flowers." And the kings are ready to move, and the money of the treasury cannot be moved, but the calamity cannot be left undelivered, so the only thing left is to gather wool from the fat sheep.
"Yes." Scarlet Peng glanced at the pothos who was grimacing at him behind Zhao Shu. His face flushed and he hurriedly retreated.
Zhao Shu glanced at the pothos helplessly, and just wanted to tease a few words, King Yong came in. "Ajun, for my father, I want to go to Chu County to control the water, you are alone in Beijing, don't go out. In a few days, I think there will be victims of the disaster entering the city. Just in case a mob hurts you. ”
Zhao Shu was stunned for a moment, "There are also floods in Chu County?" ”
"This is your teacher's excerpt." He handed Luo Hu's recital to Zhao Shu and sat down nearby.
took the fold and opened a glance, after reading it, his brows were tightly locked, Chu County was the fief of the eleventh uncle Yan Wang, and the fief of King Yan was close to King Jing's Xiliang, in my memory, King Yan rebelled with King Jing at first, and then King Yan was shot off the war horse by Wei Tingsi with a sword. When I went back, I was not cured and died.
dared not report to the court. So bold, "Did the emperor's uncle send someone to follow his father?" ”
"There are also a few officials from the Ministry of Industry, most of them have left with the prince and your teacher, and my father can only pick up some young people to follow, but there is only one county in Chu County, so there is no problem." Young people are the ones who don't have a lot of experience.
However, he was quite confident, and Emperor Mingde also copied a copy of the marl firing method that Zhao Shu had mentioned, whether it was useful or not, it was enough to cover it with water.
What Zhao Shu is worried about is not that the flood can't be cured, but whether King Yan will do anything?
In the previous life, there was no such flood, and the rebellion of the kings was just to learn what kind of ghost and god talk such as the snake slashing uprising, saying that there was a dream, and the gods in the sky were dissatisfied with the current emperor, so they rebelled.
Now, they don't need to dream, such a flood must be the wrath of the gods and want to accept the current emperor.
"Let Commander Mo and Fu Bo follow you, and Ah Jun will write you a few ways to control the water later, whether it is useful or not, there is no way to control the water, and the control of the water is not a simple water to cover up."
"Okay, hurry up, for my father will go out of the city overnight." King Yong's trust in his daughter almost doesn't need to use his head anymore, whatever his daughter says, as long as his daughter is happy.
As soon as Zhao Shu heard such an urgency, she immediately ordered someone to bring pen and ink, and began to rack her brains to think, but she was not a professional, so she could only give sporadic construction with the geographical location of Chu County in the middle and upper reaches.
"Father, don't change the river without permission, changing the river without permission may cause floods in many places, we don't want to be perfect, we just want not to make mistakes."
"Okay, listen to Ajun, you are alone in Beijing, don't go out lightly, do you understand?" He admonished again.
"Yes, got it." Zhao Shu would not sue him, just now Wang Jiyang sent someone to say that he was going to Beiding Mansion, so she planned to go out of Beijing immediately to find out who did something at the post station, in fact, there was no need to check, but the chess piece had to be found out, otherwise there would be bad things in the future.
Perhaps, it is also a very good way to calculate.
Who knows, King Yong said again: "You are not allowed to go out of Beijing, and the affairs of the imperial court will be handled by your imperial uncle, can you understand?" How could he not know what his daughter was thinking? When will this zealous fault be corrected?
However, he was wrong, Zhao Shufei was enthusiastic, she just wanted to defeat the enemy fundamentally, so that they would never have a chance to turn over!
Daddy speaks, how can he not? nodded busily, raised his hand very obediently and swore an oath, "I will not leave Beijing, don't worry." ”
"Don't say one thing and do another, when your father returns and finds you out of Beijing, he won't spare you." He pretended to be fierce to scare Zhao Shu, and Zhao Shu also cooperated and pretended to be scared to reassure him.
Fu Bo quickly packed up his things, and together with Mo Qin, he led three teams of government soldiers out of Beijing with King Yong, and Wu Liang also helped Sun Yun to take full control of the Sun family in the Sun Mansion and had not yet returned.
After sending King Yong out of the city, as soon as Zhao Shu returned to the palace, he immediately changed into a sky-water cloud-patterned scholar robe, and brought a team of government soldiers, not even Chu Chun and others, and went out of the city in disguise.
It's just that she just got out of the city, in order to prevent the official road from being too conspicuous, she also deliberately chose the mountain road, even if it is a palm-sized mountain road, deep in the dense forest, she can meet nobles, and she is the kind of nobleman who is in a high position in the court.
"What is General Wei doing here?" Zhao Shu glanced at the crisp mountains in the distance, the spring water dingdong, how to look like a bandit should be here.
Wei Tingsi's face was a little cold, as if he had encountered something unhappy, he glanced at the soldiers behind Zhao Shu, and said, "Why doesn't Shushu bring a maid?" ”
The soldiers who followed Zhao Shu were led by Gao Dan, even though he was an iron-blooded man, he had killed people and crossed the goods, and when he heard Wei Tingsi's words, he was also startled, I am a girl, what did General Wei call the county lord just now?
The subordinates behind him also lowered their heads, and when they came out to do the task this time, they seemed to have found something amazing, and they still felt that General Wei was very majestic, but after these words came out, they actually felt that the majestic General Wei seemed to have broken a vinegar jar......
Will peeking get a needle's eye? The soldiers were really curious, and secretly took the afterglow to see Zhao Shu and Wei Tingsi, originally Zhao Shu's face was slightly surprised, and there was no anger, but at this time, there was a wisp of anger on his face, obviously saying that this title can only be used when the two of them get along, why break the original agreement!
This is not trustworthy!
"You go ahead first." He instructed Gao Dan and others.
Gao Dan didn't dare to lead the team to go first, but he couldn't bear the coldness exuded by Wei Tingsi's body, and couldn't resist his aura, the county lord hadn't spoken yet, at this time Gao Dan regretted grabbing this task for the first time, he knew it was so, and he led his brothers to patrol the mansion at the beginning, how good it was to run, he had to follow, in order to come out with the county lord, he lost Santan Shochu.
"County Lord?" He stared at Wei Tingsi's coldness and Zhao Shu's anger, and asked.
Zhao Shu turned around and scratched him fiercely, "Go ahead." "You can't scold people in front of them, can you?
Gao Dan seemed to have received an amnesty, and his speed was unprecedented, but in just a few breaths, he led the people over the opposite peak.
Just as Zhao Shu was about to reason with him, Wei Tingsi suddenly approached, then picked a wild flower and handed it to her, and said sincerely: "Fang is not wrong, why don't you punish me as a guard for you?" "Anyway, Master won't let him get involved in the flood.
Zhao Shu: ...... I didn't expect you to be such a Wei Tingsi! (To be continued.) )
