First Medical Research Institute of the Republican Army.

Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo sat together to discuss the development prospects of medicine. Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo are both writing their own medical books, which are not only their personal teaching materials, but also the summary of their life's medicine.

They also took out some of their usual research results and wrote them in books, not only referring to past medical books and literature, but also data, research data. It seems that a lot of people like to hear this.

But it's also the data that has led to all sorts of problems in their current research on medicine.

"First of all, medicine, our traditional decoction seems to be being challenged." Hua Tuo first pointed out this problem. Because Hua Tuo has worked as a war doctor, he is very experienced in this area.

"Our herbs are very unstable, such as astragalus, which comes from many places, and there is a great difference between dry and wet. The efficacy of the medicine is naturally different, although some of our doctors, research institutes, they have creatively invented such a way as concocting pharmaceutical properties, but the stability of the medicinal properties of the problem, still can not be solved. More than that, there are many more problems. The exertion of medicinal properties is also a problem, the traditional decoction is slow, and the effect takes a time, especially the time of the decoction, if it is not prepared in advance, it is a big waste for the patient, or even the injured. At this point, I think we still have a lot of room to grow. Hua Tuo said.

Hearing this, Zhang Zhongjing frowned, he knew that this required a lot of experiments, how to exert the medicinal properties of various medicinal materials, what kind of methods to use, as well as the ratio between the finished medicines, and the exertion of medicinal properties. The combination is the result of millions of kinds, and all of them are experimented with, and it takes a lot of money to support them.

"There's a lot more, and I've been working on microscopic bacteria lately, and I've learned a lot about it. I think it might be useful for us to open a channel and branch out in this area in the next step. Hua Tuo said excitedly that when it comes to research, the use of microscopes has helped them solve a lot of problems, and with the use of glassware, many experiments can be obtained through scientific observation.

Not only that, but the rescue of wounded soldiers in the field has also given them a lot of first-hand information, and now, they can conduct all kinds of research, for example, some research institutes they have branched out to find various diseases for research and classification, so that their situation will become much more favorable.

"Money, but the question is money, where does the money come from, you know, you research once, the cost of drug materials is one-tenth of the entire research cost, and our research costs have been increased again and again." Zhang Zhongjing said with some dissatisfaction.

"But in medicine we have results." Hua Tuo said that Hua Tuo really didn't think too much about money, it seems that money is very unimportant to him, and Zhang Zhongjing has a certain amount of management. However, he still focuses more on research, but he still pays more attention to the problems of management.

"Yes, in the words of a businessman, our results have not yet been converted into more profits, which is very bad for us." Zhang Zhongjing reluctantly said such a fact.

War and the development of medicine are very interrelated, war brings a large number of deaths, injuries and diseases, while medicine is the opposite, in order to compensate for the various deaths produced by war, the development of medicine must be accelerated to avoid the occurrence of larger-scale adverse events. For example, the development of traumatology and bacteriology all emerged during the war.

In the past, the cooperation between the Medical Research Institute of the Medical College and the Republican Army was very good, to what extent, 80% of the orders of the medical school came to the military, and it was the military expenditure that supported the development of medicine. But now, peace has come. Without the support of military spending, the extremely limited market in a peaceful environment alone would not be able to meet the huge financial needs for medical development. Coupled with the traditional concept of medical ethics, it is the duty of doctors to save lives and help the wounded, but the problem is that medical research requires a lot of funding. Where the funding comes from, it is naturally profit. But it seems that doctors should not be equated with profits.

Although some businessmen are involved in the development of drugs, the price of drugs cannot be increased, the demand cannot be expanded, drugs are a good thing, but the problem is that demand, if there is no more demand, what they do is extremely disadvantageous, which is a big trouble for them, they definitely do not want to see such a situation, this is definitely not what they want to see. So, that's the trouble they're having right now. This is the best outcome if these problems can be handled properly, but the problem is that these things are not easy to solve.

"There have been some reports from the shareholders of the pharmaceutical factory, and they believe that our current business model will make a loss for a listed pharmaceutical company like ours, or even that we will go out of business and close down. They advised us not to interfere too much in the business affairs. For doctors, business is a layman, and our main responsibility is to see a doctor, catch medicine, and treat a disease, of course. They will also provide us with an objective fee to conduct relevant research. They are in charge of the business. They think more that our medical research should focus on a profit-making model, and our previous model is very detrimental to our current research and funding. Zhang Zhongjing said some of the reports.

"What do you mean?" Hua Tuo asked Zhang Zhongjing.

"The top commander of the IRA also forwarded a telegram to us, saying that the results of our medical research were very large. However, it should be noted that research funding will be increasing, and in particular, we will need to rely on more medical devices. This is an opportunity for us, and we also need to publish all kinds of textbooks, medical research reports, and so on. Recruit new students, build hospitals, and more. All of this costs a lot, what to do? Zhang Zhongjing said.

"At the end of the day, it's about money." Hua Tuo said.

"Yes, I don't want to worry about such things, I find that the more I manage, the more chaotic it becomes. The efficiency is still very low. Many things are not done at all, and they end all at once. Maybe it's a good thing to hand it over to businessmen, so that we can reduce some of the burden and focus on the research results. Zhang Zhongjing suggested.

"Okay. I listen to your ideas. I just wish there was more funding, just don't bother with my research. Hua Tuo said this, because many things are indeed very expensive, especially the recent rise of a new discipline, chemistry, chemistry is mainly focused on the research of new styles. However, because of the remarkable results of chemical research, there are many things that have never been noticed before the emergence of chemical research, such as sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, and caustic soda, etc., which seem to be also used in medical research, and it seems that the effect will be better if it is made into various finished potions. Hua Tuo thought so.

Hua Tuo's idea is very crazy. And he was the only one who dared to do so, for example, for such a thing as dissecting the corpse, he brought it up. Although many people die from a variety of injuries and diseases, the study of the causes of death is also an important component of medicine. Hua Tuo suggested this, but the ancients still had a great reverence for death. So much so that no one wants to do such a thing. Only by raising more and more salaries will anyone dare to do such a thing. This is an important reason for Huatuo to increase its funding and cultivate talents.

With the impact of the business model and the demand for a large number of scientific research funds, researchers such as Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo have gradually begun to break away from business management and focus more attention on research things. It's their interest and it's their important aspiration.

Perhaps the separation of the operation and the independent business model will be of great help to the development of traditional Chinese medicine. After all, TCM doctors don't seem to be too easy to ask for consultation fees. Most of them have too many medical virtues. This is completely different from Western medicine. Western medicine is built on a huge amount of money, and the funds come from the profits from the consultation fees, as well as the profits from medicines, and it is very advantageous to engage in such an industry.

However, there is no such model of traditional Chinese medicine, which is very unfavorable to the future development of traditional Chinese medicine, although the continuous development of traditional Chinese medicine has different talents, but unfortunately, without the support of funds, sooner or later it will fall into a desperate situation. If the breakout was going on at that time, wouldn't it be a pity? Maybe it's a good thing to get out of it now.

However, the current medicine has just entered a small low ebb, the reason is that the previous development of medicine was supported by military spending, and now the military expenditure has been reduced a lot, which is not a good result for medicine, I hope they can realize their own disadvantages, and then further develop and solve more problems.

Li Jiazhuang, War Department.

"The new bond scheme has been studied. I think it won't be long before I can release it tentatively. As long as we can recover some of the bonds, we can issue new war bonds and expand fiscal revenues. Jia Xu said.

"Well, but there's a key question, war revenues, only with greater war revenues can the sale of war bonds be further stimulated, especially those that are borne by the banks, what kind of war revenues do we have that can give them so much confidence to do such a thing?" Sangmu asked such a question.
