"How do you deal with the threat of Zhang Jiao?" Liu Hong kept thinking about it. "It's a really hard problem to solve."
Liu Hong learned that Zhang Jiao's popularity in Jizhou is now very high, and after this plague, more than half of the people in Wei County have set up an immortal tablet for him. For this alone, in Wei County, Zhang Jiao was treated more than him.
Zhang Jiao has such a great influence, it is absolutely impossible to arrest and kill him through legal means. Let's not talk about what reason was used to arrest him, even if it is a verdict, he will definitely not be able to pass the juror level.
It's not okay to assassinate him, Zhang Jiao definitely has kung fu, and ordinary people will definitely not be able to kill him. But if he can kill him, Liu Hong can't guarantee that they will keep it secret for him. If it is rumored that he killed a great good person for no reason, it will definitely affect his reputation.
But if you don't kill him, the impact of this guy's giving away medicine will only get bigger and bigger, and in that case, it will be more and more troublesome to buy and deal with him.
"Even if you can't kill him now, you must not let him increase his influence anymore. If he gets the same disciples all over the Han as in history, once something happens, it will definitely be a disaster. ”
Liu Hong has now worked hard to get the Han to this extent, and he will never tolerate someone to undermine the stability and unity of the Han Dynasty.
"How can we reduce his influence?" Liu Hong can only settle for the next best thing now.
After some consideration, Liu Hong can have such prestige, which should be obtained by him giving talismans and medicines for the people. So, he should also start in this regard.
"It seems that the only way to solve the threat of Zhang Jiao is to implement free universal health care."
Speaking of this universal free medical care, Liu Hong has long wanted to do it, this is definitely a popular project. Although this thing will definitely cost a lot of money, these money are definitely within Liu Hong's affordability. Because some people have calculated that even if the medical costs are inflated in later generations, if they want to carry out comprehensive free medical care, it will definitely be far lower than the three public expenses, let alone in the Han Dynasty, where the price level was low.
Although Liu Hong can afford the cost of free medical care for all, he does not have so many qualified doctors, which makes it impossible for him to implement this beautiful idea.
He didn't have enough qualified doctors before, and he still doesn't have so many qualified doctors now. Although during this time, he stepped up the training of doctors, but the profession of doctors is not a profession that can be accelerated, and it is absolutely impossible to train large-scale qualified doctors at this time.
But he can't help it now, even if there are not enough doctors, he has to put up the shelves of free medical care first.
Zhang Zhongjing is the secretary of the Ministry of Health, and he has to be responsible for the free medical care for all. So Liu Hong called him over to discuss.
Although Zhang Zhongjing has now been vaccinated with cowpox for the whole people, he has been unable to touch his feet all day long. But when he heard that Liu Hong wanted to provide free medical care, he came up with a preliminary plan on the same day, regardless of his fatigue.
Zhang Zhongjing is also really capable, very flexible, not without so many qualified doctors, he discussed with Hua Tuo, and all the teachers of the medical school were also assigned to various clinics, so that they could take their students to practice teaching in the clinic. If that wasn't enough, they would put a group of students in charge of a clinic if they were able to handle common ailments proficiently.
"That's all I can do." Liu Hong is not an inflexible person, although these students' medical skills are a little worse, but as long as they pass the assessment, they are better than those witch doctors and gods who are not in tune.
"Your Majesty, the medical expenses are free, and the medicinal herbs are also free?"
"Of course, it's free, only free medical fees, not free of medicine, how much difference is this from when there is no free medical care? Let's not engage in those face-seeking projects, if we want to do it, we will do something real for the people. ”
Fools know that the cost of medical treatment accounts for the lion's share. If only medical fees are waived, not medicine fees, and under the guise of free medical care for all, then it is better not to do it, it is definitely looking for scolding. After all, you gave others hope first, and in ruthless deprivation, it is better not to give them this hope in the first place. Therefore, Liu Hong must put an end to this kind of thing, and if he wants to do it, he will engage in real free medical care.
Getting sick is something that you can't do personally, and it's not something you can avoid if you don't want to get sick. Therefore, we must be cautious when dealing with medical problems, and if we don't pay attention to it, we will be hated.
In later generations, Liu Hong felt extremely resentful when he saw those people who looked down on the disease on the news. What do you say those price departments do to eat, knowing that the people have no money, why are you paying back the medical expenses so high? A single operation can cost tens of thousands, even hundreds of thousands, hundreds of thousands! I'm surprised, how is this fee calculated? A few doctors are busy for a few hours, plus a little medicine, and they will collect hundreds of thousands! Don't forget, your nature is a society. Yes. Host. Righteousness, such a thing, under this system, is it reasonable?
What made Liu Hong especially uncomfortable was that it was clear that the person had a terminal illness and couldn't be cured anywhere, so he didn't let people go out to see it. If there is a way, people also want to see it in a regular big hospital, do you see those who are publicly-funded medical care, when have you been to a small clinic? The reason why people go to other places is because they don't have money. If you can't cure it well, you have to bear dozens or even millions of medical expenses, and in the end, you will lose your personal money, and people will definitely have to think of other ways. Let's not talk about the legendary chance of healing in the small outpatient clinic, even if it is not cured well, people at least spend less money, and the loss should be controlled within the range of others. Anyway, it is a terminal illness, and the treatment of the disease is nothing more than a psychological comfort.
But those big hospitals kidnap people with morality and don't let people go to those so-called irregular places. But the problem is that even if people are here, don't they look bad at it, and they spend more money, why don't you say this, isn't this only the state officials allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps.
These are lessons that must be eradicated.
Through Zhang Zhongjing's efforts, the shelves of free medical care have been erected, and after the passage of time, when all these apprentices are out of school, this matter will be completely finalized.
After finishing these things, Liu Hong began to ponder again. He doesn't pay enough attention to medical education, there are many things he knows, but he doesn't do it, which is not good.
Liu Hong found Zhang Zhongjing and asked him to organize famous doctors to determine medical cases together, compile teaching materials, compile compendiums of materia medica, determine the names of various medicinal materials, standardize various medical methods, make acupuncture and moxibustion bronze figures, and systematize traditional Chinese medicine.
