Episode 824: [Binding Business]
……
Li Chengqian's plan to go to Tangzhou has not stopped.
He followed Cheng Laohu to Tangzhou.
The Assassins on the way were taken by the spies, who pried their mouths open.
Soon Li Chengqian got the information that the Yang Tang Master of the Red Hall was a general in the Sui Dynasty, and since the Sui Dynasty was occupied, they turned into an underground party. Those strong soldiers who assassinated Li Chengqian were the personal guards of Hall Master Yang, and their force value was terrifyingly high.
In addition to the Yang Hall Master, a former Sui general who established his own sect and became the Red Hall, there were other generals of the former Sui who also organized other halls. But these halls are independent, the people below have no contact, only the middle level and above know such news, and the real high-level people know how to contact other halls, but these real high-level people have died in this encirclement and suppression.
In addition to keeping the Red Hall secret from other halls, they are relatively independent and almost don't interact with each other, in fact, Hall Master Yang has hatred with other halls, so they don't interact.
Regarding this situation, Li Chengqian believes that there may be some falsehood.
But what I know is that except for the Red Hall, there are no clues in the other halls.
Li Chengqian sighed, but as he said before, as long as it is a fox, it will show its tail, as long as it is a rebel, they will come out to sabotage, and when the time comes, you can catch their tail.
All we have to do now is wait.
After he arrived in Tangzhou, he comforted the people and praised the officials of Tangzhou.
Tangzhou is the old nest of the Red Hall, but the Red Hall did not keep a low profile, but led the people into it and destroyed many shops.
The flower water shop has opened here. This time, too, it became the focus of destruction.
I heard that all the goods were robbed and the clerks were injured.
After Li Chengqian heard the news. I didn't see it in person, and it was up to the chain system. Li Chengqian didn't have to go to a small shop in a small town by himself. And Chen Qiuming opened so many chain stores, there should be a mature system that can be re-operated when it is destroyed.
And at this time, an idea came to his mind.
When the people encounter disasters, they take out their anger at the merchants, which shows the people's hatred of the rich.
But at the same time, some irrational actions of businessmen can be seen.
These profiteers only care about making money for themselves. But they didn't run this business environment.
Merchants are like trees, and trees must grow in fertile land and an environment with plenty of rain to grow healthily. In the Tang Dynasty, there were two aspects of the merchant environment, one was political, and the merchants of the Tang Dynasty did a very good job of dealing with the government. And the other is the people. They made the people's money, but instead of making good friends with the people, they made the people hate them. That's where the failure lies.
This riot in Tangzhou was an outbreak of contradictions. In the future, there may be more and greater contradictions.
Li Chengqian thought of taking this opportunity to get a look at this group of businessmen.
So he stayed overnight. wrote a letter written by Zhenguan and sent it back to the queen, and one to Chen Qiuming. One for Gui'e.
As soon as the letter was sent, Lao Li's official letter arrived.
He expressed his support for Li Chengqian's attempt to encircle and suppress the Red Hall in Tangzhou. Seemingly. This is a letter that is long overdue. Li Chengqian's letter from the advance had already been sent before.
After two days in Tangzhou. Lao Li's new letter has arrived again, and he praised Li Chengqian and Cheng Lao for their opportunistic actions. The queen's letter also arrived, and she supported the two suggestions put forward by Li Chengqian.
Li Chengqian put forward the first point, that is, in the event of a disaster, the businessmen donate money, so as to give back to the people, and in this way, the people's perception of the businessmen will be improved, and the businessmen will not think that the businessmen are sucking their blood. When the merchant made money, he helped the people who were affected by the disaster, and the people were happy, and the merchant got a good name, and both sides were happy. In this way, a good atmosphere can be formed, which can make the entire Tang Dynasty full of love. And Li Chengqian proposed that the imperial court could commend the businessmen who made donations. In this way, it became the importance of the imperial court to the merchants.
If the businessman can be commended by the court, then he has been valued by the court, and his social status has also improved, and the businessman will be very happy!
After convincing Lao Li, the queen was already encouraging the merchants of Chang'an to donate.
With the combination punch that Li Chengqian came up with, I believe that the businessmen will happily jump out and donate.
Gui'e's letter also arrived, and she said that she would donate as soon as possible. The letter also expressed concern for Li Chengqian, although it was only for him to wear good clothes and eat well, but a wave of love overflowed in it.
Chen Qiuming's letter also arrived later, and of course he obeyed Li Chengqian's order to donate money to the disaster-stricken areas.
And the other point is the people's hatred of the imperial merchants, which was used by the dark party in this time, Li Chengqian wanted to improve him, thinking that after the flood at this time, it was the time when the plague was rampant, and there was a need for a doctor.
There were very few doctors in the Tang Dynasty, there was a shortage of medical resources, and the people had no doctor to see a doctor when they were sick. The people in the surrounding Zhuangzi will go to the doctor when they are sick.
The level of Dr. Zhuang is not high, and several people die at his hands every year. But the people around him didn't blame him at all, and they didn't send him to the government, but trusted him more and continued to look for him when he was sick. In Huangzhuang, the most powerful person is Zhu Fatzi, and the most prestigious and popular among the people is the murderer.
This strange phenomenon made Li Chengqian realize how helpless the people who were sick and could not see a doctor were.
If you can open a free clinic next to the shop of the imperial merchant, it will be a good thing for the people, and it will also make the people happy and welcome. The Imperial Merchants brought doctors to the common people, and they would change their views on the Imperial Merchants, and even when the shop was in trouble, they would take action to protect the store in order to keep the free clinic. Imperial merchants can also get a good reputation among the people through such a form!
Of course, this step is only done among the imperial merchants, and other merchants are not required to do it. However, if some businessmen saw the benefits and followed suit, Li Chengqian did not feel that the competition was big, but felt that he had done good things for the people, and that competition would be better for the people. At the same time, a good environment has been formed, and businessmen make money and help the people for free.
One store and one clinic, judging from the number of Li Chengqian's flower water shops, there are more doctors needed in this way. But Li Chengqian is not worried.
The hospital in the palace has slowly formed a teaching model, and under the strong lineup of so many experienced imperial doctors and old grandsons in the palace, a lot of classes have been held to teach doctors and apprentices.
In addition to teaching the doctors and apprentices in the palace, he also invited some doctors outside the palace to go in for further study, such as the murderous doctor on the Huangzhuang, he was invited, and under the personal teaching of Lao Sun, he made a lot of progress. When Li Chengqian left Chang'an, he heard that the murderous doctor had killed fewer people this year, and that he had not been treated for the death of a person who had died three days ago.
Li Chengqian felt that the murderous doctor on his Zhuangzi could not be released to harm people, and he had to send someone to guard the clinic, and he had to be re-taught by Lao Sun to use it with confidence.
The next thing to do in the hospital is to teach more doctors. These doctors don't have to be very skilled, as long as they can handle it. If you know some basic medical knowledge and can see some minor diseases, you can treat most of the people's minor diseases, and as for some major diseases, there is no way to do it.
More of the people are still suffering from minor diseases. The current conditions can only help this large part of the people to cure minor diseases.
In this way, Lao Sun and the task in the hospital will be lighter, and a group of doctors can be taught in a month or two.
It's a quick one!
In this regard, Li Chengqian said in a letter to the queen that the queen had approached Lao Sun, who agreed with Li Chengqian's proposal and had already begun to implement the preparations.
The hospital had already said that it had been done, so when Li Chengqian met the people of Tangzhou, he stood on a high platform and loudly promised the people that he would open a free clinic next to the flower water shop in the future to help the people see a doctor for free.
Of course, the medical treatment is free, and the medicine still needs money, and the cost of the medicine is not higher than the market price.
The people were very happy to hear that there was a free doctor. As for the money for medicine, they are not so greedy. They are already happy when a doctor treats them, and now that the doctor can see a doctor, it is enough for them to die of happiness, and the medicine money should be paid, or it is not higher than the ordinary drug price, and they are satisfied.
After the flood, the plague began to appear, and many people experienced diarrhea.
Li Chengqian asked people to get quicklime and sprinkle it around people's residences, especially in puddles. This can play a role in disinfection.
A day later, a group of doctors came to Chang'an, which was led by Lao Sun, some of them were imperial doctors in the palace, and some of them were folk doctors, all of whom were organized to treat the victims.
At the same time, there were also clothes and food donated by the first part of the merchants. On the car loaded with supplies, there are words about disaster relief materials of a certain company!
Li Chengqian couldn't help but smile when he saw the "Gui Ji Egg Shop Disaster Relief Clothes" hanging on the three cars inside.
Everything in Tangzhou is developing in the expected good direction, and Li Chengqian is also preparing to return to Beijing after completing his tasks.
And his perfect performance this time has left him a good reputation among the people, and Chang'an's support for him is also very high!
