Chapter 498: Disturbances
"Lao Tzu has a saying: The way of heaven is like a bow and a bow! The higher ones suppress it, the lower ones lift it, the surplus loses it, the insufficient ones are with it, and the way of heaven loses more than enough to make up for the shortcomings. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info Humanity is not, the damage is insufficient, and the sacrifice is more than enough. Who can have more than enough to serve the world? There is only one who is the Taoist. ā
"This is the sages teaching future generations that the rich and the poor should be equalized, and the majority of people should benefit!"
"We have to admit that Liaodong has not done well enough in this regard before, and it is still in the midst of insufficient losses and more than enough. However, I believe that through the introduction of personal income tax, the gap between the rich and the poor will be greatly eliminated, and the goal of equal wealth will be achieved. ā
The article written by Wei Shuo has aroused widespread repercussions, and many celebrities in Liaodong have expressed their opinions on individual income tax, and basically they all have a favorable attitude. It has laid a very good foundation for public opinion to promote individual income tax in the future.
In fact, when Liaodong just came out to levy personal income tax, both Shi Le and Wang Dun wanted to fan the flames, but Wei Shuo beat him down with a set of combinations, and Liaodong was run by Wei Shuo like an iron bucket, so that Zhao and Jiangdong had no place to start.
At the same time, after settling the personal income tax, Weishuo immediately launched the long-planned medical security system.
In modern times when medical technology is so developed, it will be difficult to see a doctor, not to mention in ancient times when there was a shortage of medical treatment, and it was more and more difficult for ordinary people to get effective medical services.
The level of medical care will greatly affect the development of the population.
Especially for Liaodong, which is extremely short of population, the promotion of the medical security system has reached the point where it cannot be delayed.
In the last 100 years, China has experienced three riots in the late Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms, and the late Jin Dynasty, and the population has dropped to less than 20 million.
In order to make up for the loss of population, Wei Shuo believes that in addition to naturalizing the Hu people, it is also necessary to improve the quantity and quality of his own population.
After the gradual normalization of economic development, the gradual easing of finances, coupled with the collection of personal income tax, made Wei Shuo realize that the opportunity to promote the medical security system was ripe.
Although Wei Shuo's ideas are good, he faces many difficulties, and urban residents can say that it is not easy to deal with people living in rural areas outside the city.
"I intend to build at least one medical center in each county that can accommodate 500 patients, and these medical centers should have various specialties, including gynecology and children, which should be enough to solve most common diseases."
"In order to meet the demand for doctors, starting next year, the pastoral government will increase support for the medical profession."
"In addition, with the help of Taoist temples all over the country, we will implement a policy of assistance for free medical care, that is, low-cost medical care."
"Lord, where does the cost of free medical care come from?"
"It comes from personal income tax, which is exactly what should be taken from the people and used by the people!"
Wei Shuo didn't want to levy medical insurance premiums like later generations, but after a few thoughts, he gave up. It is still the same sentence that the lack of various systems in ancient times makes it almost impossible for everyone to pay insurance premiums.
ā¦ā¦
Although the second year of Taixing is about to pass, with the battle of Qingzhou, the collection of personal income tax, and the promotion of the medical security system, Liaodong has once again attracted the attention of the world.
In particular, the battle of Qingzhou has caused constant speculation from all sides, and now with more and more details revealed, all parties have a new understanding of the strength of Liaodong.
Whether it is for Liaodong or Xiangguo, the victory in the Battle of Qingzhou seems so dreamlike.
Shi Le never thought that Shi Hu, who could fight well, commanded tens of thousands of troops, but was defeated by a group of students from Liaodong who had not yet graduated.
Originally, in order not to let this matter affect the internal heart, Shi Le blocked the detailed process of the battle of Qingzhou.
But with the hype of Liaodong, the blockade of Shile did not help.
It can be said that although the battle of Qingzhou figured out the strength of the Liaodong Army, it also forced Shile to a desperate situation, and such a result obviously could not encourage more people to stand on the side of Qianhu in the future.
In order to meet the internal contradictions that are about to erupt, the Kahu people are ready to use iron-blooded means, but they are also trying to divert the contradictions, and everything is being prepared.
In addition, it was precisely because of the defeat on the battlefield of Qingzhou that Shi Le realized that Xiangguo was far from being an opponent in Liaodong at present. It was with this understanding that knowing that Liaodong would kill all the captured Qianhu captives, Shi Le not only did not dare to take any retaliatory measures, but also wantonly punished Kong Chang and others who had killed countless people on the battlefield in Qingzhou.
On the one hand, Shi Le's move was to win over the Jin people, and on the other hand, he showed Liaodong that Qianhu had no intention of provoking Liaodong. Without adequate preparation, Shile would never venture into a war with Liaodong.
Therefore, after the Battle of Qingzhou, Shi Le tried to calm down the internal strife, while trying to avoid starting a war in Liaodong too early, and at the same time tried every means to strengthen the strength of Xiangguo.
However, this battle made the family who had hesitated before completely firm their belief in taking refuge in Liaodong, and many people saw clearly through the battle of Qingzhou that the Liaohu was in vain, and once the Liaodong army went south in the future, the Qianhu would definitely not be an opponent.
Even Zhang Bin, who was originally entangled, is not entangled at the moment, and now he is thinking about how to help Liaodong seize Hebei and the Central Plains at the lowest cost. Judging from Da Sima's past style, preserving the population should be his first consideration.
Zhang Bin had secretly thought about it many times, but he was not satisfied every time. Later, Zhang Bin felt that unless he could 'transfer' all the main forces of Qianhu to the field after the big war, he would create an opportunity for the Liaodong Army to gather and annihilate. But it is not easy to achieve this, Shi Le is not a person who is easy to fool, especially when the Jin people are about to move, under normal circumstances, Shi Le will never hand over the back road to the Jin people.
Fortunately, there is no rush in this matter, and Zhang Bin still has time to operate before Liaonan goes down.
ā¦ā¦
The development of the Battle of Qingzhou not only exceeded the expectations of the warring parties, but even Jiang Zuo was shocked when he learned of Hou. Many people in Jiangzuo couldn't help but think, Liaodong easily defeated Shi Hu, the general of Qianhu, close to a group of young people, if the great Sima Weishuo personally dispatched, plus Liu Yao, Mao Bao and other famous generals, then Qianhu would not have the power to fight back?
Although I know that such an analogy is meaningless, the outside world can't help but think about it like this. If you imagine further, you will inevitably think that in the future, Liaodong will defeat the Qianhu and unify the northern land, and then I am afraid that it will really change the dynasty.
It is under such and such speculation that Pei Dun's status in Jiangzuo becomes more and more transcendent, not to mention that Sima Rui does not dare to offend him easily, even the powerful Langya Wang family has to be restrained in front of Pei Dun, who doesn't know that he has a capable son-in-law?
In order to relieve the pressure from the Langya Wang clan, Sima Rui, the Son of Heaven, not only issued an edict to congratulate Liaodong, but also rewarded the great Sima Weishuo with some silk and silk to show his favor.
Originally, everyone thought that in the face of the Son of Heaven's overtures, Liaodong would respond with a very official attitude as before. However, no one expected that after receiving the reward from the Son of Heaven, Da Sima Weishuo not only personally wrote to express his gratitude, but also specially announced to the outside world that his wife Pei Yinger would go to Jiangzuo to visit her parents in the near future.
As soon as the news was announced, it immediately caused a sensation in Jiangzuo, even if Pei Yinger's identity was not as sensitive as Wei Shuo, but this was enough to prove Liaodong's support for Jiangzuo's imperial court, and it was tantamount to a suffocation to Wang Dun's henchmen who were plotting a rebellion.
Obviously, Liaodong's support will undoubtedly boost Sima Rui's confidence, and in his opinion, with Wei Shuo's containment, Wang Dun will never dare to start a rebellion easily. In this way, he has enough time to lay out and slowly cut off the henchmen of the Langya Wang family, so as to remove obstacles for the future crown prince Sima Shao to ascend the throne.
Originally, Sima Rui didn't need to be in such a hurry to deal with Wang Dun, but on the one hand, Wang Dun's persecution deepened, and on the other hand, his body also had problems. He was very worried that once he died suddenly, the crown prince Sima Shao would not be able to be the opponent of the treacherous and cunning Wang Dun no matter how young he was, so in order to prevent him, he had to remove Wang Dun as soon as possible.
But it is obvious that Wang Dun is not easy to deal with, so Sima Rui took the opportunity to win over Liaodong. Now that Wei Shuo 'unexpectedly' made overtures to the imperial court, Sima Rui was naturally overjoyed. While personally instructing his henchmen to arrange Pei Yinger's reception, he also deliberately brought Pei Dun over to discuss the details.
If you want to say that the person who is most excited about Pei Yinger's arrival, it is naturally Pei Dun, who has not seen his daughter for seven or eight years. Even his wife has been to Liaodong many times to accompany his daughter, but Pei Dun has never gone north once due to the pressure of the Wang family. (To be continued.) )
