Since Li Xianzhi got married, he respected each other like a guest and was harmonious, but he was not drunk in the gentle township, and he was thinking about the situation in the world all day long.

At this time, it has been less than five years since the earth-shattering turmoil began. There are only twenty years left before the fall of the Great Tomorrow.

Li Xianzhi has always wanted to make a difference, and in the face of the upcoming natural disasters and military disasters, there is not much time left for him to prepare.

First and foremost, there is the issue of food. The Li family has four or five manors, seven or eight granaries, and a manhole, which stores more than 100,000 stone of grain, and supports thousands of tenants. However, what Li Xianzhi is thinking about is not his own family, but thousands of people, and it is inconvenient to say the reason for this.

At that time, the farm crops were not only rice in the south and wheat in the north, but also millet, millet, cotton, hemp, beans and the like. Yulin is located in the high cold, the weather is dry and rainy, the grain real estate is too low, ordinary farmers are busy all year round, pay rent and tax, there is not much left, often the year can not be reached, the grain hoard will see the bottom.

At this time, a foreign high-yield grain was gradually introduced - people named it Yumai (corn), but it has not yet been widely spread, and only in a few places. Li Xianzhi drew a picture of the appearance of Yumai, annotated the color and shape, etc., and sent a few people to search around with silver.

Until the autumn, several people came back one after another, and only Xiao Shiqian led people to buy a hundred and ten catties in Pingliang Mansion.

Xiao Shiqian brought the jade wheat back, and Li Xianzhi put it away as if he had obtained a treasure, and put it in the small warehouse of rice polishing in the mansion, waiting for the spring sowing of the next year.

While looking for seeds, Li Xianzhi planned to do something for the people of Yulin. After thinking about it, I decided to build a medical bureau. At that time, there was no medical bureau in the official family, and the people had to find a doctor in a private pharmacy in the city to see a doctor, or wait for Lang Zhong to come to the door. Some poor families can't afford to see a doctor, so they can only stay up and wait for death.

After the plan was decided, Li Xianzhi asked He Renlong and Hui Xianyang to discuss, and the two listened to the novelty and applauded. He also told his wife, and she also felt that it was feasible. Finally, I discussed it with the old lady.

When the old lady heard this, she said, "What you are doing is accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, and I will not object to it." Besides, you are now married, and I am old, and this family business will be handed over to you sooner or later, you can do it yourself at your discretion, and you don't have to tell me about everything. ”

Seeing his father say this, Li Xianzhi was full of joy, sat down for a while, and talked some gossip with his father before coming out to do his own thing.

After that, Li Xianzhi pulled Hui Xianyang and rode a horse all over the street to find the place where the medical bureau was run. After a few days, I finally found an old house in the south of the city. The owner of this house is surnamed Tang, and his ancestors are also rich and noble squires, and when they are passed down to this generation, they are not angry, eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, and lose the family business, so they want to sell it.

Li Xianzhi talked about it a few times, used seven hundred taels of silver to pawn the Tang family's house, and renovated it again five or six hundred taels away. Then put out a list and recruit doctors. Within a few days, the recruits gathered here, and the good and the bad were mixed. Li Xianzhi had never studied medicine at all, so he had no idea for a while. After thinking about it for a long time, I thought of someone.

It turned out that there were several pharmacies in the city, two of which were larger, one was called Jirentang and the other was called Shouantang. There were three or five doctors sitting in the hall each. The Li family uses medical medicine every year, and it is done from Jiren Hall.

The owner of this Jirentang is surnamed Xu Mingzhongquan, whose name is Yiqing, is a well-known famous doctor, and he is a kind person, and often helps the poor people who can't afford to see a doctor and take medicine.

Li Xianzhi thought of this person, maybe he could help himself, so he went to visit. When Xu Zhongquan saw the young master of the Li family visiting, he naturally didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly let him go into the inner hall to speak.

Li Xianzhi said about running the hospital, and Xu Zhongquan said: "The young master has this heart, and it is useful, although he says it clearly." ”

Li Xianzhi smiled: "Shopkeeper Xu still can't understand what I mean. ”

Xu Zhongquan said: "Please show the young master." ”

Li Xianzhi said: "I don't know anything about medicine, and I don't have anyone to use. As far as I know, the pharmacy of the shopkeeper Xu has to distribute medicine to the people every year, and he does not take a penny, which can be described as chivalrous and very admirable, so I want to ask the shopkeeper An to take charge of the hospital I run and make it happen. ”

Xu Zhongquan was embarrassed and said: "Young Master Meng can afford it, but it's just my small shop......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Li Xianzhi: "I have accepted the medicine from people in your pharmacy, and I have calculated it after the shopkeeper has been bored, hand over the list to me, and I will pay the silver according to the price." ”

Xu Zhongquan thought for a while and said, "I have heard that the young master has a great skill, and when I see it today, it is really different. Young Master Meng can afford it, so I admit it, from now on, this Jirentang is yours Young Master. ”

It turns out that although this Jirentang is not small, its income is not much, and it depends on the large number of wealthy families in the city every year, and they often use some crude drugs. In addition, even the garrison of the town also came here to buy medicine, so there was a surplus. Now that the Li family's hospital is opened, with his connections, the two major owners will naturally stop patronizing. As a result, it is difficult for Jirentang to maintain itself no matter what.

Xu Zhongquan thought of this and agreed to Li Xianzhi's proposal. So, Li Xianzhi sent a bookkeeper in the mansion and Xu Zhongquan together to count the medicinal materials stored in Jirentang one by one, and converted them into a price, about more than 7,000 taels of silver.

Li Xianzhi paid the silver, hired the doctor and a group of guys, and asked Xu Zhongquan to be the head of the new medical bureau for 1,000 taels of silver a year. Xu Zhongquan agreed, and took off the plaque of Jirentang.

Li Xianzhi ordered people to move all the medicinal materials to the new hospital, set up an examination room in the hospital, and Xu Zhongquan and several doctors came up with the questions, and gathered seventy or eighty people who came to apply for the examination together, with differences in internal and external medicine, pediatrics, and gynecology. There are those with excellent medical skills, and there are also those who are indiscriminate, and most of them are eliminated in a written test, and only more than 20 people remain. Then, I found all kinds of patients for diagnosis, tried for more than half a month, and selected more than a dozen talented real doctors to keep them, and sent all the others away.

Li Xianzhi named this new medical bureau "Jimin Hospital", chose an auspicious day, and was established. In the Jimin Hospital, six departments were opened: internal medicine, external medicine, pediatrics, gynecology, epidemic, and patent medicine (with pills), and doctors were placed in each of them to consult deacons. In addition, a procurement office was set up, with two compradors in charge of the procurement of crude drugs and equipment.

After doing this, Jimin Yuan officially opened to the public. Because Xu Zhongquan and a group of famous doctors were in the hospital, it didn't take long for people to come to seek medical treatment. Because Jimin Hospital has a complete range of departments, there are many doctors who sit for consultation, and there is little money to be asked, so people who see doctors come here.

Within a few months, several pharmacies in the city, led by Shou'an Tang, were closed. Li Xianzhi took this opportunity to come to the door in person and bought these pharmacies at a high price. As a result, it seems that some of the doctors in the Jimin Yuan are overcrowded again.

Xu Zhongquan found Li Xian's way: "The young master just bought the pharmacy and recruited all the people, and the Jimin Courtyard is no longer needed, and their wages are a lot of silver." The young master is a bodhisattva, and the people who come to see the doctor can pay as little as they can, and they can be exempted, and they are no longer profitable inside and outside. If you recruit so many idlers again, won't you lose money? ”

Li Xianzhi said with a smile: "I didn't recruit these people to use them in this Jimin Yuan. I'm useful to them. ”

Only then did Xu Zhongquan understand that what Li Xianzhi wanted to do was a big thing.

Sure enough, within a few days, Li Xianzhi took Li Ruyi and Li Xi'er out of the city again. Still wandering around along the side wall, west to Dingbian Camp, east to Qingshui Camp, more than a month, walked thousands of miles.

Li Ruyi and Li Xi'er slept with the wind and food, complaining all the way. Li Xianzhi said to them: "You two don't be in a hurry to complain, this time, I have something important for you to do." The two muttered.

Along the way, Li Xianzhi stayed for a few days in the two places with the largest military and civilian populations, the Dingbian Yingcheng in the westernmost part of Yulin Town, and the Gushan Fort in the east. In these two places, Li Xianzhi chose a courtyard each, negotiated the price, and then returned to Yulin.

After returning to the city, Li Xianzhi selected thirty sturdy family members into two groups, and also divided the doctors recruited in the city into two groups. Li Ruyi and Li Xi'er were led to Dingbianying and Gushan Fort to open a medical bureau respectively, and the name was set as Jimin Branch.

Li Ruyi and Li Xi'er were used to following Li Xianzhi, crying and reluctant to go out. Li Xianzhi said to them: "You two have been by my side since childhood, you have read some books, and your brains are also clever, you are both people I trust, and now I have sent you out, so that you can be in charge alone, and you can do something in the future." You don't know what to do, and you're willing to be a follower all your life? ”

When the two scholars heard this, they rejoiced. Li Xianzhi chose two more doctors and two doctors with excellent medical skills and high morality to be the general manager - it turned out that they were all pharmacies in the city, one was named Zhang Yuanhua, and the other was Liu Maozhen, the shopkeeper of Shou'an Hall. Soon after, they were sent to each set off, Zhang Yuanhua and Li Xi'er came to Gushan Fort, and Liu Maozhen and Li Ru intended to go to the border camp.

For two months in a row, Li Xianzhi worked hard, Zhang Yuanhua, Liu Maozhen, Li Ruyi and Li Xier worked hard, and the medical and relief hospitals on both sides were finally set up, although the scale was not as large as in Yulin City, but it was also considered to be complete.

At this point, the officials and soldiers of the camp fort under Yulin Town and the medicine of the big households in the town were bought from the Jimin Yuan, and it didn't take long for the more than 20,000 silver invested in advance to return to the capital, and gradually began to make profits. But Li Xianzhi didn't stop there. First of all, he set up medical schools in three Jimin Yuan, and recruited people who had read and read to enter the school. Then, he ordered people to be sent to the villages to provide free clinics and distribute medicine on a regular basis, so that many people who had been ill for a long time without medical treatment were able to survive. The people who have received the favor all praise the virtues of the Li family and regard them as the bodhisattvas who save the world.
