Chapter Forty-Four: Let the Ancients Lose Face
Things can always be found, and Wu Dapeng, a liberal arts student, finally found something to do for himself, he wants to make some articles on medical materials, which is also a profit growth point. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
After checking the medical information of this Da Song in advance, he had a way in his heart.
He went to visit the boss Li De of the Li family's Dalang Crude Medicine Shop, the little boss he met on the road who went to buy medicinal materials, after all, we had a relationship.
A pharmacy owner has to collect medicine in person, which shows that the scale is impossible to be large, and it is easy to deal with.
He casually inquired on the street and knew the place.
After looking for it in person, I found that it was indeed a small faΓ§ade, and a yin and yang flag was hung at the door, indicating that there was still a doctor here.
He went in and looked, and there were three people inside.
One is the boss Li De and his little lady, and there is also a patient.
He glanced at it and saw that the woman who was suspected to be his little lady was good-looking, with a characteristic of this time and space, small, watery, and more importantly, relatively plump.
Wu Dapeng bought two catties of dried fruits in advance, so he couldn't come to the door empty-handed, right?
He's still a serious doctor.
Boss Li De is giving an old man's pulse.
He motioned to Wu Dapeng to wait with his eyes.
Wu Dapeng generously sat on the chair and waited, looking around, feeling similar to the Chinese medicine shop in the world.
There is a front counter in the shop, and there is also a medicine cabinet in the back, which is more than one person high, and it is coated with tung oil, but it is only lightly layered, revealing the pattern of wood.
On the drawer of each small medicine cabinet, the name of the medicine is written in Song Kai.
He wasn't interested in that.
The people of the Great Song Dynasty are still very realistic, Song Kai was created by Qin Hui, and at the end of the Southern Song Dynasty, everyone also thought that Qin Hui was a traitor, but character is character, politics is politics, and works are works, and the Southern Song Dynasty government did not ban it, after all, Song Kai glyphs are easy to use, and they are used to it.
He was actually interested in the shitch on the counter.
It was a copper pole, and he saw that the scale had 3 knobs, and looking at the appearance of the scale, the degree value should be cents, money, and two.
The weight unit of that world should be compared with the Great Song Dynasty, which should be converted by one to one to one and two eight.
That small copper skull is estimated to be worth a catty.
I don't know if the weighing is accurate or not, but it seems to be easy to use.
There is a picture of plum blossoms and snow on the wall, and the picture is a cursive inscription, and Wu Dapeng can't see what is written.
Li De's little lady is cleaning the medicine cabinet------
Pretty nice pharmacy.
The Great Song Dynasty government had a relatively sound medical organization, including an institution that provided medical services to the people.
Specifically, there are the Hanlin Medical Hospital, the Imperial Medicine Hospital, the Taiyi Bureau, and the Huimin and Pharmacy Bureau.
Among them, there are two main institutions that provide medical services for the people, one is the Hanlin Medical Hospital, and the other is the Huimin and Pharmacy Bureau.
As for the Imperial Medicine Academy, its main function was to serve the emperor and a small number of imperial relatives, and had almost no relationship with the common people.
The Taiyi Bureau, on the other hand, focuses on promoting national medical education and the evaluation of doctors, and although it can also provide medical services, it is relatively limited, and its administrative functions are much larger than those of medical care.
Hanlin Medical Hospital, affiliated to Hanlin Hospital, has an absolute career establishment, a large number of doctors, and advanced medical equipment.
They were often assigned by the emperor to visit and heal the people.
In particular, it is worth mentioning the system of resident medical officers at the Hallym Medical Hospital, that is, a system in which medical officers take turns to participate in local medical services.
In the event of an epidemic, the Great Song Dynasty government often provided free medicine to the infected people, and at the same time, the gentry and wealthy merchants also greatly assisted.
During the more than 300 years of the Song Dynasty, there were nearly 40 large-scale epidemics, and they were basically controlled.
There is no such thing as the European region, where a large number of people die when they die.
Of course, the people of the Great Song Dynasty in this time and space have a good habit of taking hot baths, basically, the last little scale of the Di shop provides such a service.
I think that when Lin Chong was on the way to the distribution, he was also able to wash his feet in the store, but he was used with hot boiling water.
Wu Dapeng came to Boss Li De this time for his own purpose.
He wanted to see if he could get more precious herbs, such as rhinoceros horn and the like.
In that side of the world, Wu Dapeng's doctor friend once inadvertently said: "This thing is now hundreds of thousands of yuan a piece, and there is no market...... Only when you have this thing in the family can you be considered a high-grade character, and the others are local tyrants! β
The speaker has no intention of listening, Wu Dapeng is always interested in things that can be calculated according to grams, and it is undoubtedly better to get some such precious medicinal materials than to always get cultural relics.
Rhino horn was first seen in the "Shennong Materia Medica" and "Tang Materia Medica", and it was also considered a precious medicinal material in the Great Song Dynasty.
According to the "History of the Song Dynasty", in 1054 A.D., Emperor Renzong immediately ordered the imperial physician to prepare a prescription and took out two rhinoceros horns from his personal belongings, one of which was an extremely valuable Tongtian rhinoceros.
Li Shunju, the chamberlain, thought that this kind of treasure was rare, and it would be difficult to find it after it was used up by the common people, and hoped that it could be kept for the emperor's exclusive use.
But Renzong said, "How can I be a foreign object and a cheap people? Emphasizing that the people are the most valuable, compared to what these so-called treasures are worth, they are immediately "broken" and mixed into medicine to relieve the people.
Renzong also ordered the imperial physician to select skilled medical staff to rush to the ward and distribute corresponding medicines according to the patient's condition, so as to prevent "the poor from being mistaken by quacks".
Some people commented on Renzong, saying, "Although Renzong can't do everything, he can be an official (emperor)."
I really don't know where the judgment of "Pepsi will not" comes from, but an emperor who is anxious about what the people are anxious about and puts the people in his heart is a real good emperor.
In an authoritarian society, everything can only be linked to the good or bad of the emperor himself.
After the boss Li De saw the patient, he grabbed a few more pairs of medicines for the man, and Wu Dapeng saw that he was skillfully using the copper and copper combination medicine, and after a while, he wrapped the herbs.
Although such street pharmacies appeared in the Eastern Han Dynasty, most of them were private and were not incorporated into the government medical system until the Song Dynasty.
During the Song Dynasty, government-run pharmacies were actively opened to provide prescription medicines with guaranteed efficacy and price, which were well received by the people.
Similarly, there are also individual private pharmacies, which can play a complementary role.
This is the case with Boss Li De's pharmacy, and the Ximen Qing official in "Golden Vase Plum" also opened one.
In order to allow the common people to eat "reassuring medicine", in the third year of Xining (1070 AD), the prime minister Wang Anshi implemented the "medical reform" in the reform of the law, and in the newly implemented "City Change Law", the main civilian drugs were included in the state monopoly.
For the pharmacies of individual private operators, supervision is intensified, because the price of the main civilian drugs monopolized by the state is low, so the drugs in the pharmacies of individual private enterprises are really not expensive.
The common people of the Great Song Dynasty had full choice.
At the same time as "convenient to take medicine", the Great Song Dynasty also reduced some palace medical institutions that were originally only for high-level services, increased charitable folk medical institutions, and promoted "nursing homes".
In the fifth year of Yuan You (1090 AD), Su Shi, who served as the general judge of Hangzhou, in order to control the local epidemic of diseases and provide convenience for the poor to seek medical treatment, he created a "sick workshop" and named it "Anle", and after the second year of Chongning (1103 AD) was taken over by the government, it was renamed "Anjifang".
"Anjifang" is a kind of charity hospital with the nature of a civilian hospital.
Since then, civilian hospitals such as "Anjifang" have been established in many places, and in this way, the Great Song Dynasty court has basically solved the problem of "difficulty in seeing a doctor" for the common people, and they have achieved remarkable results in making the poor "afford to see a doctor" as much as possible.
After Boss Li De sent the patient away, he came to Wu Dapeng's side, lifted his straight jacket, and sat next to him.
He remembered in his heart that this person used to be the laborer of the overseas merchants, but after these days, he changed his clothes and became a merchant, and it seems that the power of those overseas merchants is really not small.
The county town is also talking about what kind of industrial park they are building by the Hongshui Creek, because because of their great momentum, this is only a county town after all.
After Wu Dapeng exchanged a few polite words with him, he went straight to the topic, he wanted rhinoceros horns.
Boss Li De asked curiously: "Most of the rhinoceros horns come from overseas, and your country doesn't produce this thing?" β
This kid has a really good memory.
Wu Dapeng smiled: "That's true, I am the only one there who has no ...... for this thing."
Boss Li De said: "Rhino horn is a thing that is bought by the government and the people, and it is very rare for the people to sell it, so it is difficult to get ......."
Wu Dapeng smiled and said, "If you use it here for medicine, or for urgent use, what should you do?" β
"You can go to Lin'an Prefecture Huimin and Pharmacy Bureau to apply for the purchase of ......"
"You see, if you claim to be used for healing, will you not be able to buy and sell?"
"Isn't so-and-so going to be fake?!"
"How can you call it fake? I really need it, one is not enough, if you can contact other doctors and get more, I can give you twice the price......"
The goods began to be loaded again, and I saw him flick his sleeves and shout: "Chun Niang, send off the guest ......"
Wu Dapeng was furious in his heart, you damn it, pretending to be with me again! Wouldn't it be possible to give you another way to make money?!
Do you really think rhinoceros horn is a treasure??
At this time, it can only be regarded as valuable, just like the rosewood, more expensive, less less, but it can definitely be bought.
Originally, there were rhinos in the Chinese region.
The Chinese rhinoceros refers to three species of rhinoceros originally distributed in China: the large one-horned rhinoceros is the current Indian rhinoceros, the small one-horned rhinoceros is the current Javan rhinoceros, and the two-horned rhinoceros is the current Sumatran rhinoceros.
During this time and space, Chinese rhinoceros was widely distributed in the southern provinces, mainly inhabiting the forested and mountainous areas close to water sources.
Therefore, at this time, Hunan, Hubei, Guangdong, Guangxi, Sichuan, Guizhou and even Qinghai are all distributed.
The rhinoceros was hunted in southern China, where it disappeared from Chinese mainland until the last one was killed in Yunnan in 1922.
Now, I'm afraid there are more of them than the wild boars in the mountains of that world.
Wu Dapeng didn't even look at the little lady of Boss Li De, got up and left with his head high.
Damn, what do I deal with idiots who don't make money??
Your Great Song Dynasty government has almost monopolized all the businesses that are easy to sell, and you will buy them at every turn, and you are still pretending to be serious!
During the Song Dynasty, most of the "and buying" were the government's purchase of silk and linen products from the private sector to ensure the supply of military uniforms for the huge standing army.
To this end, the government needs to buy various products in the silk and linen production areas. Roughly since the time of Song Renzong and Zhao Zhen, various localities have begun to use different ways to reduce the gram and buy the capital, so that the purchase has become a heavy burden for the people.
In the late Northern Song Dynasty, Hemai had partially evolved into a fixed tax, and in the early Southern Song Dynasty, it had completely evolved into a fixed tax, and the government no longer paid and bought the capital.
In many areas, the amount of Hemai exceeded the amount of summer tax and became a heavy burden in the Southern Song Dynasty.
However, the Southern Song Dynasty government treated the goods of overseas merchants differently from the purchase, generally paying in person, or using and buying as customs duties, otherwise the overseas merchants would not come next time.
In this way, they completely controlled the operation of the rhino horn in the cargo in the hands of the government.
There may be private sector management, but it is definitely an abnormal management.
Wu Dapeng looked at Boss Li De's small appearance at that time, and if he wanted to beat him, he would be knocked down in minutes and seconds.
But who will be like an ancient?
After Wu Dapeng came back, he found Yalang Ma Yun and asked him if there was a way.
Yalang Ma Yun said: "Rhino horn is the favorite of the officials, and the people ......"
Wu Dapeng said: "Shut up! Can a Dongshan crystal mirror be replaced with one?! β
Yalang Ma Yun's eyes immediately became round, and he said, "Where can you use so much?" You can also exchange two for two! β
In the Song Dynasty, the use of rhino horn to make utensils, especially cups, has become a common practice.
Legend has it that rhino horn cups, like ivory chopsticks, foam at the mouth when a liquid containing toxins is put into the cup.
In this way, a large number of Asian rhino horns poured into China, and African rhino horns, which were slightly less effective than Asian rhinos, also poured into China along with the Silk Road, and the rich families of the court and the people were immersed in the desire and admiration for rhino horns.
In addition to its wide range of health care and medicinal efficacy, rhino horn is also spread among the people to have the effect of warding off evil spirits and protecting peace.
People regard rhino horn as one of the "eight treasures" in Taoism as the "treasure of things" and "national treasure"; Song Xiaozong, the emperor of the Southern Song Dynasty, who was revered by later generations as "frugal in sex", is said to have worn a rhino horn around his waist.
Where there is demand, there is supply, as long as the trade routes are open.
So Wu Dapeng will definitely be able to buy it, it's a matter of time, and I don't want to know that Li De bullshit in the future.
