This squire's surname Fu is because he is an official eunuch, so he is a little bit of a gentleman who can't open his mouth to say, his words immediately attracted a lot of dissatisfied eyes, although everyone stared at him and didn't speak, but everyone's eyes were silently asking him, do you mean that everyone is sick every day when you are happy?

It is just an ordinary logical reasoning, which is right to consider from a business point of view, but it is wrong to think from a human point of view, because no one likes to be sick. No matter what the big and small officials standing in the court think, but at least on the surface, they are all talking about the lives and safety of the people of Limin, in everyone's opinion, this problem is a bit heavy on money and light on life.

Apocalypse also knew that there was nothing wrong with this Fu Shilang's question itself, he was just asking a question that wasn't necessarily wrong at the wrong time and in the wrong place. Medical research is a long-term project that requires huge investment, and if there are fewer patients, there will be no money, and doctors can only support their families, so there is no way to engage in medical research. However, no one can say that in order to make money make people sick, or that they are not sick and they are sick, except of course some unscrupulous doctors, who are said to deliberately not cure their patients in order to earn an extra two pieces of silver.

Apocalypse thought for a moment and said, "Your question is not likable, but I don't hate you and think that your thoughts have depth, would you like to go to medical school?" ”

Fu Shilang regretted his intestines when he heard it, because he couldn't help but ask a question, which made everyone unhappy and asked himself to go to the medical school, is this the legendary "report in front of you, come quickly"? However, he was also very anxious and wise, and said: "Although the minister is interested in medicine, he has no foundation, and I am afraid that he will not be able to learn anything when he is old, but the minister has a nephew who is just twenty this year, he is young and strong, and he is still interested in medicine, if the emperor allows the minister, he can persuade him to go." ”

As soon as he said this, Wu Zhiwang stopped doing it, do you think that medical school is something that anyone can come to if they want to? Glaring at Fu Shilang and said, "If you want to send it, you can send your own son, what's the matter with sending your nephew?" Besides, how can you be just interested? His foundation is much better than that of the average person to get into medical school. ”

Fu Shilang smiled bitterly and said: "Don't be angry, Lord Wu, Xia Guan has no sons, only four daughters are married, but Xia Guan's nephew really has two sons, and Xia Guan has been sick several times, and he has taken care of it." ”

Hearing that this person was so unlucky to give birth to four daughters in a row, Wu Zhiwang balanced his heart a little and said, "Since your nephew is capable, if the emperor agrees, you can let him come." ”

Apocalypse shook his head and said, "You should ask his opinion for your nephew's affairs first, and if he is interested, he can go to the medical school to give it a try, but I have a crush on you." ”

As soon as he heard that the apocalypse had falsely accused him, Fu Shilang secretly complained in his heart, but he heard the apocalypse say: "Speaking of this topic, I remembered one thing, saying that there was an old doctor who posted a couplet for the New Year, and the family posted it 'business is prosperous all over the world, and the wealth is prosperous to Sanjiang', and he felt that it was inappropriate to change it to 'I wish that people in the world would be free from disease, even if the medicine on the shelf produces dust', which made the neighbors very moved." But I wondered how he would live if his family was really a medicine plant. How did his medical skills improve? I'm not trying to force you to go to medical school, I'm just asking you to go home and think about what you started with, how to make the hospital make money and get fewer and fewer sick people. ”

Seeing that Fu Shilang agreed to the apocalypse with a bitter face, he was secretly funny, this problem should be unsolvable for the time being, let you think about it just to let you know that some words can't be said.

Turning his head to look at Xu Guangqi from the Bo Academy, he asked with a smile: "I saw that Lord Xu wanted to speak and endure several times, is there anything difficult about it?" ”

Xu Guangqi presided over the doctoral college for nearly half a year, but he didn't see any movement from them, and a group of people were busy in it all day long, only spending money but not producing output, which inevitably caused many people to talk behind their backs. What's even more unpleasant is that he also found some high-nosed foreigners to eat in it, and I heard that these foreigners seem to be some foreign monks, but they haven't shaved their degrees, and if they have nothing to do, they will persuade people to believe in their master who is tied to a shelf. In the temple of the Ming Dynasty, whether it is the statue of Taoism or the statue of Buddha Guanyin of Buddhism, which is not tall and dazzling? Who can you bless a villain who is tied to a shelf, and you can't even save yourself?

Seeing the heavenly inspiration, Xu Guangqi stepped forward and said: "If you go back to the emperor, the minister didn't want to say it, because the minister's things have not yet seen results, but if you don't say it, the minister is afraid that the ministers and the Bo Academy will think that the ministers and the Bo Academy are just taking money and not doing things, plus today I heard that all the ministries have satisfactory results, if the minister doesn't say it, I'm afraid that in the future, I won't be able to open my mouth to ask for silver from the household department." ”

Tianqi laughed and said: "Lord Xu is too worried, even if you don't do anything, at least I will support you wholeheartedly for three years, of course, after three years, I will come to see if you haven't seen any movement." ”

Xu Guangqi said: "The minister should talk about it even more, a while ago I discussed the cannon with Ni Yuanlu Ni of the Military Affairs Yuan, he meant to replace the ordinary cannonballs with the cannonballs he made, which was not made because the conditions were not ripe." However, he made another thing, what is the specific Lord Ni so that the minister will not be here today, the emperor can ask Lord Ni. What the minister wants to say is that the ministers are researching three new foods, and they are experimenting with them, but they will take a long time and have not much promotion value yet, but the people in the Bo Academy already have some new ideas, and they should not be able to study them beyond the emperor's three-year period. ”

Tianqi smiled when he heard it and said: "To engage in research is to endure loneliness, people who are too impetuous will not be able to produce any results, Lord Xu may wish to tell everyone about your research, maybe after entering the eyes of the ministers, it will be faster to allocate money to the Bo Academy." ”

Xu Guangqi said: "The first thing that the ministers planted was sweet potato and corn, and these two things were planted from Guangdong and Fujian provinces in the south, and later spread in the southern provinces ♀ The disadvantage of the two things is that the yield is low and unstable, and the sweet potato is not easy to preserve and easy to rot, but their advantage is drought tolerance. The minister means that if the production of sweet potatoes and corn can be increased, then the famine problem of our Ming Dynasty will not be a problem, and there is no need for the emperor to spend money to emigrate. ”

A governor who returned to Beijing from Henan to report on the situation of immigration asked Xu Guangqi: "Lord Xu said that these two things are drought-tolerant, but the yield is low, and drought tolerance is a good thing, and the drought in the north has been getting heavier and heavier year by year in recent years, but the low yield is not good, I don't know how low it is?" Can it be on par with wheat? ”

Xu Guangqi shook his head and said: "Sweet potatoes are better but not easy to preserve, corn yields at most half of wheat yields, and they don't taste as good as wheat and rice." ”

The governor of Henan shook his head when he heard this, and said: "This has no promotion value, don't when the wheat is not planted, and the people of sweet potatoes and corn can't eat enough or don't like to eat at all, then it's troublesome." The others shook their heads sadly.

Just when everyone was not optimistic about sweet potatoes and corn, the eyes of several Shangshu and waiters from the Ministry of Household and Industry lit up, and Zuo Guangdou, the Shangshu of the Ministry of Households, first asked: "Lord Xu, you said that sweet potatoes and corn are drought tolerant, but we don't say that rice is much less than wheat in terms of water consumption?" ”

Xu Guangqi said: "The specific has not been carefully calculated, but at least the water saving is generally above, basically you can plant and water and don't care, of course, it doesn't work if it doesn't rain for several months." ”

Zuo Guangdou turned to Tianqi at this time and said: "Your Majesty, the minister has an idea, the northern provinces are not dry, but not all parts of the province are dry, and the places next to the river can still be carried by manpower or waterwheels." Chen's meaning is to plant wheat near the river, and sweet potatoes and corn to be planted a little farther away, and it is better to have less yield than no grain harvest, and it is better to have a poor taste than to be hungry. And there is also an advantage that this can temporarily stop immigration, and at least one million taels of silver can be saved. ”

Apocalypse thought for a while and said: "This idea is a bit risky and a little crazy, but you can gamble, I'm afraid you can't save money, half of it is to buy grain, just in case the other half is used to prepare sweet potatoes and corn seeds, if you want to gamble, I will accompany you crazy." ”
