Chapter 180 Encouraging the Population and Medical Bureau
Zhu Youdong knew that in Wang Jincai's heart, imperial power was deep-rooted. Seeing that Wang Jincai had been pestering these, he immediately changed the topic and said, "What is the matter with Elder Wang coming to me?" Wang Jincai then gave up and said, "I have been sorting out our accounts in the past few days since you came back. It's hard to sort it out today, so I'll show it to Master Hou. ”
Zhu Youdong asked people to put the accounts on the table, and said with a smile: "What else is there to say about the things that Wang Lao handled." I believe that Wang Lao will not lie to me, just keep saying a number. Wang Jincai said: "Master Hou, let's take a good look, I don't have the ability to do anything, and I can't remember some accounts." Now remembering the last number, we have a lot of money in balance, one million taels of silver and four hundred thousand taels of gold. ”
When Zhu Youdong heard this, he was immediately taken aback, and the Restoration Army now has no other income at all. At present, the taxes in various places have not yet begun to be collected. All the money and grain were seized from the Qing army, or copied from the local government and the Qing court, and desperately helped some gentry of the Qing army.
Therefore, the food and grass of the Restoration Army have always been very tight, and Zhu Youdong is often worried. Now that he suddenly heard Wang Jincai say that he had a lot of money, Zhu Youdong asked with some disbelief: "Why are there so many?" ”
Wang Jincai said: "Actually, this is not much, the silver we seized from the Qing army, as well as the silver in the treasury of various places, are here." Because of the war, everyone only wants food, and even if we send out silver taels, the soldiers in the camp will not remain. As soon as the salaries and money were paid to us, everyone came to exchange them for food, and the money came again. ”
Due to the rapid expansion of the Restoration Army's army, food was always in short supply. Previously, Zhu Youdong controlled grain to the greatest extent in order to manage grain in a unified manner. It is also convenient for soldiers to buy, and does not allow other grain merchants to raise the price of grain. Let Lin Zhuang open military specialty grain stores in various places. It is exclusively for veterans and their families to buy, and it is also convenient for the development of Lin Zhuang's intelligence system.
Zhu Youdong said as soon as he heard it: "In other words, the military salary we sent out came back after going around in a circle?" Then the money was useless, and the soldiers took the money and went to exchange it for food. Zhu Youdong suddenly had an idea, that is, to completely abolish gold and silver coins, and paper money should be used, which will also reduce the army's baggage and logistics a lot.
Zhu Youdong was about to talk about his thoughts in detail, when Lin Asan came in with a few Lang Zhong. As soon as Zhu Youdong saw it, he said to Wang Jincai: "Wait a minute, Mr. Wang, I'll deal with something first." Then he said to Lin Asan: "Are these people you looking for the most skilled doctors?" ”
Lin Asan suddenly said: "Back to Hou Ye, they are all the best doctors in the city, I don't know what discomfort Hou Ye has?" Lin Asan thought that Zhu Youdong was sick, so he was anxious to find the best Langzhong.
Zhu Youdong said: "There is nothing uncomfortable. Then he said to several doctors: "I came to you today, there is something for you to do, are any of you good at gynecology?" ”
Hearing Zhu Youdong's words, Lin Asan was stunned for a moment, why did Zhu Youdong still see a gynecological disease. An old man on the left said: "Back to Hou Ye, the old man is Du Dehong of Deji Hall, and the old man is good at gynecology, I don't know which lady the Hou Ye wants to treat?" ”
Zhu Youdong said: "No one is sick here, I want to let Du Lao Doctor the world." Everyone was stunned, looking at Du Dehong, who was trembling, and didn't want to be able to heal a few people. Zhu Youdong actually wants him to heal the people of the world, isn't this to have fun and amuse?
Du Dehong was also stunned, thinking about Zhu Youdong and asked: "I don't understand what Hou Ye said about this doctor in the world, what does it mean, and I ask Hou Ye to make it clear." As long as it is what the old man can do, the old man will do his best. ”
Zhu Youdong said: "If today, due to the war, a large number of people have decreased, and the Qing army has slaughtered cities everywhere, and there are not many people left in the world, I want to encourage the people to have a population." ”
Wang Jincai said: "This is a good thing, after the Hou Ye is in charge of the country, he can have such a benevolent government, which can be described as a blessing for the people." Zhu Youdong said: "There is a blessing, and now the people are surrounded by walls, even if they have more children, they may not be able to feed them." Moreover, for a woman, giving birth to a child is a matter of entering the door of ghosts. ”
Du Dehong said: "What Hou Ye said is true, but it is useless for Hou Ye to come to us." We can't control this woman's birth. Only then did Zhu Youdong remember that seeing a gynecological doctor and a woman giving birth are two different things. Zhu Youdong slapped his forehead and said, "I'm dizzy." ”
Then he said to Du Dehong: "It's okay, I'm going to come to you anyway, I just want you to make a count of the woman's reproductive age." Then, in the process of giving birth, there are many accidents at that age, and those ages are suitable for childbirth, and then generalize to the people, so as to reduce the death of women during childbirth among the people. ”
Du Dehong said: "I can do this, but I can't do it alone, even if I can make it, I can't promote it, and people don't believe it." ”
Zhu Youdong said: "It's okay, I'll let Lin Asan take you to do it, and then let the Restoration Army and the government promote it." Du Dehong said: "Then there should be no problem." ”
Zhu Youdong said to several other doctors: "What are you all good at?" The other four introduced themselves in turn, one of them was Lang Zhong in the army, and the other three were doctors from several local pharmacies in Chongqing, all of whom had their own strengths.
After Zhu Youdong listened, he said, "Okay." Then he pointed to a doctor who was good at pediatrics and said, "Your name is Wan Zhengping, and you are good at pediatrics." Wan Zhengping hurriedly replied, "Yes, Master Hou." ”
Zhu Youdong said: "You have to count some matters that need to be paid attention to in raising children, as well as those diseases that children often suffer from, and then how to prevent and treat them, sort them out, and let the government promote them." In this way, our population can recover quickly and the number of people can increase rapidly. ”
Wan Zhengping listened and said, "Master Hou, this thing can be done, but none of these things can be done by us alone." Several other people saw that every thing Zhu Youdong said was not something that could be done easily.
It's not like the generals in the past, just need some money and food, but let them do these things for a long time. Although it is done, it must be a name for eternity. But the money and food that needs to be consumed is also immeasurable, and everyone is a little reluctant at the moment.
Du Dehong said: "Master Hou, it's not that the old people are unwilling to do these things, and it's not that we are unwilling to save the common people. But once these things are done, they can't be done in a few days or a year, and the money and food consumed are not something that any one can afford. ”
Several other people also echoed it, and Zhu Youdong thought about it for a while, but it really didn't work. But now let the Restoration Army take all the money out to carry it out, and it is estimated that it will not be able to bear it.
Zhu Youdong looked at a few people, and suddenly said: "Why don't you put together all the pharmacies, and then let the government promote them for you." Zhu Youdong said this, and saw a few people with embarrassed faces. It's just that in front of Zhu Youdong, it is too obvious that it is not good.
Lin Asan said: "Master Hou, each of these families has their own prescriptions, all of which are exclusively operated and not sold to the public. If everyone joins together, the prescription will leak out, and the loss will be great. ”
Only then did Zhu Youdong think that in this era, everyone held their secret recipe and refused to let go. Zhu Youdong said: "Otherwise, we will merge several pharmacies, and then divide each of them." In the end, the operating profits will be divided into shares, what do you think? ”
Seeing that everyone was still unwilling, Zhu Youdong said: "As for the prescriptions of each family, I think so, we will set up a special Deli Division." This patent department is not in operation, but only responsible for the registration of directors. Anyone who needs to use these strengths will need to pay a royalty. It is collected by the Patent Division and then returned to the specialty owner. ”
Du Dehong said: "Master Hou, how to collect this usage fee?" Zhu Youdong said: "I think it will be based on the user's income, and then take one out of a hundred." After being collected by the Patent Division, it will be returned to the owner at a rate of 70%. ”
Du Dehong and the others immediately began to calculate, and after a while, Du Dehong said: "But how do we know how much the user has sold?" There is no way to check it, not to mention that the patent department occupies 30%, which is too high. ”
Zhu Youdong said: "Don't think that this is more than thirty percent, think about it, once your medicine enters the market in large quantities." Isn't there going to be someone copying, and the people in the patent department are responsible for cracking down on these copyists. ”
Hearing Zhu Youdong say this, Du Dehong understood and said, "Yes, how should the shares of the merged pharmacy be divided?" Zhu Youdong said: "I account for 20%, each of your five families accounts for 10%, the imperial court accounts for 20%, and the academy accounts for 10%. ”
Hearing that Zhu Youdong only gave 10% of the shares to each family, several people immediately panicked, and they were very reluctant. Zhu Youdong said: "Don't be in a hurry to oppose it first, think about it, I don't account for 20%, if your pharmacy is big, the officials of all parties, can you deal with it?" ”
Zhu Youdong made him think for a moment before he said: "What's more, if the government wants to publicize your prescription and make prevention and treatment methods with you, it also needs the cooperation of personnel." As for the academy, they have learned your things, can they not use your medicine in the future? No matter how this is counted, you will not lose. ”
Du Dehong said: "But this success is too little." Zhu Youdong said: "You think it is less now, it is because you are all invited by yourself now, and everyone is in one place in Chongqing." But once merged, only one team is needed in one place, and just a few of you can open pharmacies in five state capitals, do you think it is still less? ”
Several people didn't dare to believe Zhu Youdong's statement, but Zhu Youdong didn't just discuss with them, Zhu Youdong was now giving them shares. If Zhu Youdong is angered and directly asks the army to raid the homes of a few people, they can also take away the prescription, then they will have nothing.
Several people looked at each other and had no choice but to agree. Zhu Youdong saw that a few people agreed, so he said: "Okay, since you all agreed, then this merged pharmacy will be called Huimin Medical Bureau in the future." ”
Du Dehong said: "Huimin Medical Bureau? If this is the case, what else can we do to make money. Zhu Youdong smiled and said: "You're still afraid that you won't be able to make money, when the time comes, I'm afraid you won't be able to count the money." ”
Du Dehong and the others didn't believe it, Zhu Youdong said: "For this disease that ordinary people often get, we can make the medicine cheaper, or even directly make some pills, ointments or something." These medicines treat some common diseases, and they are cheaper. ”
Zhu Youdong walked up to a few people and said, "But those rich gentry, which of them will get these cheap diseases?" Let's get some more health care and prolong life. These drugs are used by those who are rich, and of course they are more expensive. There will be no money there, and if it doesn't, you don't have to be afraid, will I still send you a profit? ”
Immediately, Zhu Youdong made a few more people medical officers, and then asked Lin Asan to take them to form a medical bureau. Of course, these people are all working in the medical bureau, and they also asked Lin Asan to find some stable women to sort out the matters that women should pay attention to during childbirth.
This woman's birth of a child was an unlucky thing in ancient times, and Lin Asan immediately resisted when he heard that he was allowed to do these things. But Zhu Youdong ignored it, told Lin Asan to go, and said that if he didn't go, he would go directly to prison. Under Zhu Youdong's threat, Lin Asan had to agree.
In this way, the first medical and health department of Daming was established. Zhu Youdong thought about it, and it seemed that the patent office and the first company were also established.
