Chapter 689: Three Thunderbolts

Pham Thuy-minh's bill was also approved, and Mr. Lin was formally admitted to the Constitutional Court and became Pham Thu-Minh's assistant as an ordinary judge. {with}{dream} ั‰{suimะตng][lฤ}

The Military Commission submitted a proposal for the promotion of generals to the General Assembly, which quickly approved it, and the promotion ceremony was held after the General Assembly was over. This made Ye Zhan and Andreas, who were sitting in the auditorium, very happy, that they could finally become the earliest generals of the Yulin Army who were not the remnants of the Song Dynasty.

The first phase of the session was concluded, and after a one-day recess of the General Assembly, the second phase began.

No one expected that the first motion in the second phase was jointly proposed by Ouyang Zhengping and Zhong Kai, to build a new medical school in Yulin Bay to train medical staff.

In this proposal, Ouyang Zhengping gave a detailed introduction to the current medical development situation and difficulties faced by Yulin Bay. Although after years of hard work, Yulinwan Hospital has reached a certain level of medical care, developed some drugs, and trained a large number of medical personnel, but the medical work has not really been on the right track.

"Ladies and gentlemen." Ouyang Zhengping stood on the podium in the center of the venue, "We still face many problems now. Before I crossed over, I was just a second-rate or even third-rate medical undergraduate, and I didn't have too advanced medical skills, let alone develop any drugs. Zhong Kai is a veterinarian, and he is now a halfway monk who develops drugs, with two knives. โ€

Ouyang Zhengping's words caused a burst of laughter in the venue: "It turns out that both of you are indiscriminate." โ€

Ouyang Zhengping was quiet at the venue, and continued: "A normal society must need a certain number of doctors. I have a statistic at hand, 400 years later, the number of doctors per 10,000 people in our country is about 15. Although it is impossible to do this now, at this rate, Yulin Bay has a population of 250,000 and should have 370 to 380 doctors. Please note that when I say doctors, I mean doctors who meet certain criteria, not charlatans. But how many doctors are there in our Yulin Bay Hospital, you can count them on two hands. And among these people, in addition to me, Zhong Kai can even be counted, except for the two of us, other doctors can't be counted as doctors at all, and their medical knowledge is even inferior to everyone here. โ€

"Doctor Ouyang." Someone on the left side stood up and shouted, "It's meaningless for you to compare like this, can you compare the standard of 400 years with the present?" โ€

"I know I can't compare like that, but I have a statistic on hand." Ouyang Zhengping flipped through the documents in his hand again, "This is an investigation that Zhong Kai and I spent two months doing in Yulin Bay a year ago. At present, the infant mortality rate in Yulin Bay has reached more than 50%, which means that half of the children are born or die before the age of one. Outside of Yulin Bay, the figure is even higher. โ€

"There's another, even more staggering statistic." Zhong Kai also walked to the podium, "Through the investigation of the wounded in previous wars, because we do not have enough medical conditions and medicines, the mortality rate of the wounded is as high as more than 80. Not to mention anything else, during the Goryeo operation that year, Han Wantao and his 300 wounded who worked hard to transport back, only more than 50 survived in the end. Our medical staff will not do anything other than bandage and stop bleeding and simply disinfect. โ€

"I understand what Zhong Kai said." Jiang Beiming, who rushed back from Beijing, stood up and said, "Without medicines, especially without anesthetics, painkillers and antibiotics, the mortality rate of wounded soldiers has not been reduced." โ€

"Beiming is right." Ouyang Zhengping took over, "So in this bill, in addition to asking for the establishment of a medical school in Yulin Bay, we also require that a certain amount of opium be cultivated so that morphine can be extracted to produce painkillers and anesthetics. โ€

Ouyang Zhengping was tantamount to throwing a thunderbolt, and various sounds suddenly sounded in the venue.

"No, no, how can opium be grown, absolutely not."

"It's okay to plant on a small scale, as long as we control it strictly, there will be no problems."

"I'm afraid that if I can't control it, it's not good to flood in the future."

"Ladies and gentlemen, will you listen to what I have to say?" Ouyang Zhengping pulled his throat and finally stopped the noise, "You must have not read our proposal, you can't take a good look at it, it is very clear." โ€

"Ouyang, don't talk about these useless things, just say it quickly." Sun Tianhao shouted, "More than 300 people, you wrote a bill, and it is still in your hands, what do we think." โ€

"Let's put the opium matter first, and we can discuss it slowly." Ouyang Zhengping threw a second thunderbolt, "After we set up a medical school, we hope that the crossing conference can allocate a special fund for us, because I have discussed with Zhong Kai, and we also want to set up a drug research institute to develop penicillin, that is, penicillin." โ€

The sound in the venue could have knocked the roof over, and Wang Jian's sweaty shouting could not stop the noise. Liu Guannan took out a copper whistle from the clothes on his chest and blew it.

The mournful whistle sounded, the venue fell silent, and Liu Guannan raised his right arm, "Pause, pause, you guys say it one by one." โ€

"Chief Inspector Liu." Chen Yan shouted, "That is, there is no football match now, and you are about to become a referee." โ€

Shen Daxing was the first to stand up and asked, "Ouyang, I also know the importance of penicillin, and with it, you can greatly reduce the mortality rate." But do you have the conditions to refine now, do you have the equipment, I can't make such a precise equipment. โ€

"It's impossible to refine morphine and penicillin like later generations, but we can start working on it now." Ouyang Zhengping explained, "This is not only for the sake of the people in Yulin Bay, but also for the sake of the military, especially the navy." Until now, the navy has generally walked along the coastline, and ships can be stopped at any time to replenish supplies. Besides, we went as far as Singapore, and we didn't even go out of Nanyang. We are still relying on soy products to supplement the vitamins of the navy soldiers, but what will we do in the future, what if we go to Australia and the New World in the future, sepsis will kill you at any time. โ€

"Ouyang, are you finished?" Shi Xianyang got up the second, "I also want to ask a few questions." โ€

"Xianyang, you wait first." Ouyang Zhengping decided to throw out the third thunderbolt again, "The few things that Zhong Kai and I want to do are too difficult, and the two of us can't complete them at all, so we must have the help of others." Our military research institute already has two of the greatest scientists of our time, and I would like to invite two medical scientists to our Yulin Bay. โ€

"Ouyang, who do you want to invite." Shi Xianyang did not sit down.

"One is from the Ming Dynasty, Lord Fu Qing; One is an Englishman, William? Harvey. โ€

Ouyang Zhengping's third thunderbolt did not have an effect, and most of the traversers were not very familiar with these two people.

"Lord Fu Qing?" Xu Lang seemed to remember something, "Isn't this a character in Liang Yusheng's "Seven Swords Under the Heavenly Mountain", you can also invite the people in it?" Could it be that there really is such a person in history? โ€

Ouyang Zhengping introduced the two people he had just mentioned to the traverser.

Fu Qing's main name is Fu Shan, and he is 33 years old this year. He was a Taoist thinker, calligrapher, and medical scientist during the Ming and Qing dynasties. The first name is Dingchen, the word Qingzhu, and the word Qingzhu is changed. He lives in Yangqu County, Taiyuan Prefecture, Shanxi Province.

Fu Qingzhu has great achievements in medicine. He has high skills in internal medicine, gynecology, pediatrics, surgery, and other departments, especially gynecology. Her medical works "Fu's Women's Medicine" and "The Secret of the Green Sac" have been circulated in the world and benefited people. It can be said that Fu Qingzhu was the most famous doctor in the last years of the Ming Dynasty.

Englishman William? Harvey was a famous British physiologist and physician in the 17th century, known as the father of modern physiology. His epoch-making contributions to the discovery of blood circulation and the function of the heart laid the foundation for the development of modern physiological sciences marked the beginning of a new life science and was an important part of the scientific revolution that began in the 16th century.

After Ouyang Zhengping introduced the two doctors, he said, "As I just said, my medical level is actually very average, but I studied Western medicine in college at the beginning, and I basically didn't know anything about Chinese medicine. But in this era, the development of Western medicine is far inferior to that of later generations, so we must combine Chinese and Western medicine in order to adapt to the current era. โ€

Wei Yang asked, "Doctor Ouyang, it would be best if we could invite these two people to our Yulin Bay, Fu Qing is in Shanxi, so Wang Qianxiang can invite him, but the Englishman is far away in Europe, what method can we use to invite it." โ€

"I think we'll always find a way." Ouyang Zhengping looked around for a week, and finally stopped his gaze on Wang Hua, "Isn't it, Principal Wang." โ€

Wang Hua smiled helplessly, "Everything is still waiting for the resolution of the crossing conference." โ€

Ouyang Zhengping and Zhong Kai debated the bill for a whole day, especially whether opium could be grown in Yulin Bay, and the supporters and opponents did not give in to each other, and the podium was crowded with traversers waiting to say a few words.

In the end, the pros and cons reached a compromise and set aside a piece of farmland in Yulin Bay to grow opium. But the area would be absolutely off-limits, guarded by soldiers from the Military Commission, and no one would be allowed to enter except the hospital, and the use of opium would be limited to drug development.

At the same time, the conference agreed to the request for the establishment of a medical school, and temporarily added a financial budget, hoping that Ouyang Zhengping and Zhong Kai could build this medical school within half a year.

Lord Fu Qing and William? Harvey's affairs were left to the military, who hoped that the military would invite the British doctor to Yulin Bay through Captain Wild's connections.

Ouyang Zhengping's motion has finally come to an end, and the following bills are all military affairs.

An Yuhang and Xin Jiaju were authorized to establish the Yulin Bay Naval Academy, and Wang Hua's Yulin Bay Military Academy was abolished from the Naval Section, and all personnel were transferred to the Naval Academy.

The spring offensive against Vietnam was officially approved, and this military operation did not need to be approved by the Crossing Assembly, but Zheng Jiang added a supplement submitted by Xu Lang to the Military Commission in this bill, and whether the relationship with Chongzhen would change after taking Vietnam. This issue was not up to the Military Council itself, so the spring offensive was submitted to the Crossing Congress.

The first step of the three-step plan proposed by Zhang Guodong was not completed, and Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong were still active in Shaanxi. In this case, it is not impossible for Chongzhen to dispatch the Yulin army to exterminate Li Zicheng again, and once the whole of Vietnam is controlled by Yulin Bay, then according to Chongzhen's character, it is impossible for him to have no reaction.

In general, Xu Lang once again raised the question, how likely is it to turn his face with Chongzhen.

However, the conference did not come up with a conclusion on this issue, and most of the time-travelers felt that it was too early to discuss the issue. Even if he can turn his face with Chongzhen in the future, it will be a few years later at the earliest.

The crossing meeting finally ended before the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the previous calm returned to Yulin Bay.

In the Forbidden City in Beijing, the joy of the Spring Festival is also coming to an end, and Chongzhen is sitting in the Palace of Nourishing Heart listening to Wang Chengen's performance.

"Your Majesty, the industrial and commercial tax we collected in Qiongzhou Mansion last year was 160,000 taels of silver, the profits from the tobacco and firearms of General Wang and General Zhou were 450,000 taels to the imperial court, and Wu Sangui also had our share of 200,000 taels. In Guangzhou, according to Wang Kezong's report, Yulinwan's income in Guangzhou last year should be handed over to the imperial court for 280,000 taels, which has already been shipped and should be sent over next month. The imperial court's annual income from Yulin Bay totaled 1.09 million taels. โ€

Chongzhen nodded with satisfaction, "It seems that these people in Yulinwan are still very capable, not only can they defend the territory for me, but they can also solve the silver matter for me." โ€

"Your Majesty." Wang Chengen took out another note, "This is given to the slave maid when Jiang Beiming returned to Yulin Bay a year ago, Jiang Beiming hopes that the slave and maid will play Your Majesty." But the slave maid had never been able to make up her mind, and did not know whether the things he had said in the recital were feasible or not. โ€

Chongzhen didn't take it right away, "Jiang Beiming went back to Yulin Bay to hold their conference?" โ€

"Your Majesty." Wang Chengen replied, "That time travel conference is said to be a way for them to go overseas in their homeland, and they have to hold it several times a year. โ€

Chongzhen seemed a little interested, "Wang Chengen, how do they all hold meetings, who attends, is there any benefit to this kind of meeting?" โ€

"Back to Your Majesty." Wang Chengen did not hide it, "According to the news obtained by the slave maid, all the remnants of the Song Dynasty can participate." Their cross-meeting is a bit like our cabinet discussions, but there are a lot of them. โ€

"Oh." Chongzhen didn't ask this question again, but took the fold and looked at it a few times, "What did Jiang Beiming say in the fold that made you feel embarrassed?" โ€

Wang Chengen briefly transferred the content of this recital to Chongzhen. Jiang Beiming hoped that the Ming Dynasty government would collect industrial and commercial taxes on the entire mainland, of course, Jiang Beiming knew that it was still very difficult to do so now, and it would be difficult for those bureaucratic gentry groups to deal with it. Therefore, Jiang Beiming put forward another suggestion, the imperial court came forward, and Yulin Bay provided certain personnel and technology, so that a number of modern industries would be spread out in the Ming Dynasty, which would fully stimulate the enthusiasm of private investment.

Yulin Bay has now almost completely handed over civilian commodity enterprises to individuals, such as the sugar factory in Qiongzhou Prefecture, which produces soap, toothpaste, paper, glass, and cotton cloth. However, these enterprises are still confined to Hainan Island and have not extended to the mainland.
