Even in later generations, it seems that there are many hospitals, but for patients, doctors are still a scarce resource. And in this era of lack of doctors, the medical situation is even worse.

Rich people can also go to the doctor, get some medicine and acupuncture, as long as it is not a big problem, they can get better. As for the poor who have no money, they can only find some herbs to deal with according to the local method, and the rest is only left to fate.

Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) has formed its own unique set of methods for thousands of years in China, but it takes too long for a TCM practitioner to become a teacher.

And because of this, many people who do not learn and do not know how to do it claim to have learned Chinese medicine after reading a few medical books. For the sake of profit, they are abducted and deceived everywhere, deceiving the world and stealing their reputation, resulting in quacks everywhere and ruining the reputation of traditional Chinese medicine.

The existence of these quacks has made the already poor medical situation even more difficult to manage, and the poor people who need to see a doctor have suffered greatly.

It was precisely because he had witnessed the harm of quacks that Zhang Rui had already begun to consider the establishment of a medical school after occupying Zhilian Mountain.

After all, in the future war, casualties of the bandit army will be inevitable.

Only by ensuring that there are sufficient medical personnel to provide medical treatment to the wounded can the military be more worry-free.

However, it takes too long for traditional Chinese medicine to become successful. Zhang Rui really didn't have time to wait that long, and the bandit army couldn't wait.

In the hundreds of years since the Southern Song Dynasty, under the constraints of Confucian culture, traditional Chinese medicine, which was originally the first to have surgical treatment, has become its short handle. And the most needed thing for the bandit army is surgical treatment, surgical excision and suturing.

In terms of internal medicine, TCM has developed quite a well-established treatment method. In this regard, Zhang Rui only needs to hire a highly respected Chinese medicine practitioner to teach the students of the medical school.

However, in terms of surgical treatment, Zhang Rui chose modern medicine as a blueprint to train those students, and explained the understanding of bacteria and surgical treatment to medical students.

The explanation of bacteria should know that Zhang Rui only needs to make a microscope. However, surgical treatment can only be mastered by those students who continue to perform surgery.

Every wounded soldier of the bandit army is a hero in Zhang Rui's mind, and it seems unreasonable to use these wounded to train the hands of medical students.

As a result, the wounded of the Qing army became the best training object for medical students. After treating a large number of wounded and familiar with the Qing army, medical students can quickly devote themselves to the medical treatment of the bandit army.

In the future, they can also join hospitals around the world to accelerate the development and progress of society.

And for these benefits, the bandit army only needs to prepare some more medical supplies. And the bandit army is not short of these medical supplies.

You must know that the bandit army occupied several of the richest places in the country during the Qing Dynasty. Not to mention taxes, the bandit army alone has collected a lot of wealth from the enemy.

What's more, the bandit army also controlled the maritime trade, and all the lucrative trade in silk, porcelain, tea, etc., made the bandits make a lot of money.

At the same time, the anti-bandit army also issued quite a number of "war bonds" in the form of interest settlement. And these "war bonds" were all "snapped up" in the end.

All in all, the bandit army is not short of money now.

At the same time, the bandit army is also willing to spend money.

It is precisely because of this that the area occupied by the bandit army seems to have experienced war, but it is a prosperous scene.

Because in the area occupied by the bandits, as long as you are willing to work hard, you can always earn money.

Even if it is just going up to the mountains to chop wood and collect medicine, or raising chickens, pigs and ducks at home, or going into the city and entering the factory to weave and spin yarn, it can bring a lot of silver to the family. These were things that were unimaginable under the control of the Manchus.

At the same time, Zhang Rui also instructed that for families with an annual income of less than 50 taels, in addition to the necessary agricultural tax, those small commercial taxes will be reduced or reduced.

The reason why fifty taels is used as the benchmark is because Zhang Rui was angry when he read the English writer John Barrow "I Look at the Prosperous Age of Qianlong" in his previous life.

In the record, John Barrow recorded and described the real life of the Qianlong period at that time.

When their mission came to the port of Guangzhou, they found Chinese unforgettable scene, almost all Chinese were dark-skinned, short, and thin, and when they saw such a scene, they looked at the Qing Dynasty officials who came to greet them, all of them had ruddy faces, fat heads and big ears, which formed a sharp contrast with the ordinary people, and left a deep impression on them.

However, when they went to all the ports, the faces of the people were almost the same, and when they disembarked and went to the bazaars and villages, they found that the ordinary Chinese people were thin, hehe, and had no beer bellies. Emaciated, ragged, and poorly housed, this was the first impression that the Qing Dynasty people gave to the Magory Mission. ”

Yes, seeing this made Zhang Rui angry. At the same time, after he crossed over, the situation he saw was no different from these, and even more so.

The same land, the same people. However, foreigners' records of the late Ming Dynasty are:

"In China, the people are well-fed, well-dressed, richly furnished, and above all, they are hard workers, great merchants and traders, all of which, together with the fertility of the above-mentioned land, make it rightfully called the richest country in the world."

"They produce a lot of silk, of excellent quality and perfect colour, much more than the Granada silk, and it is one of the largest trades in the country." "In the mountains uncultivable, there are plenty of pine trees, bigger and more flavorful nuts than you usually find in Spain. Between these trees, they grow corn, which is the general food of the Mexican and Peruvian Indians. ”

"The people here are brilliant, and the men and women of this country have a very good physique, well-proportioned and beautiful, slightly tall; Most of them have broad faces, small eyes, flat noses, and sparse beards, but there are also people with big eyes and beards, and their faces are very even. "Their women were dressed in a peculiar way, much like the style of the Spaniards, and they wore a lot of gold jewelry and precious stones, and their clothes had wide sleeves, and they wore gold, silver, and all kinds of silk materials."

"Commerce flourished here, and the officials of the port allowed merchants to trade in the neighbouring islands, such as to the Philippines, and many ships loaded with large quantities of goods went every year, many times into Spain, and they also traveled to other regions and places where they could profit."

It stands to reason that after the Ming Dynasty, the Manchu Qing Dynasty should have been more prosperous than at the end of the Ming Dynasty. But why are there two very different situations?

Influenced by various Qing courts at that time, Zhang Rui, who had recognized the "prosperous Qing Dynasty", couldn't help but ask questions at that time.
