Chapter 332: The Three Caves of the Cunning Rabbit
Zhu Daolin was extremely welcome to the opening of the door of the medical divination to enter the world to save people, and at this time he suddenly remembered something, and quickly took the hand of Xuanqing Daoist and admonished:
"Master, the senior brothers who go to Huguang must not cross the north of Jingmen, and before next summer, they must all go south to the Yueyang and Changsha areas to avoid possible large-scale wars."
Xuan Qing looked at Zhu Daolin in surprise: "Is the news accurate?" ”
Zhu Daolin shook his head: "Don't dare to say it...... According to the war report sent by Wei Guogong, riots have broken out in Jingxiang and Nanyang, and the people who cannot survive have risen up to storm the county government offices in various places, looting the landlords and wealthy merchants in towns and villages, and there have been many cases of murder and arson......
"In addition, hundreds of thousands of mobs in the northwest have broken through the many obstacles of officers and soldiers, and now they have poured into Baoding, Anyang, Daimyo and other places in Beizhili, burning, killing and looting, and it is very likely that under the joint attack of officers and soldiers from all over the country and various departments in Beijing, they will turn around and go south, and kill into the Central Plains or all parts of Huaibei."
"Therefore, it is better for the brothers and sisters who go out to practice medicine and travel to avoid it, and it is not easy to train a doctor."
"In the evening, I will adjust the itinerary of the disciples with your uncle and uncle, alas! This world is chaotic, not when is the end! Daoist Xuan Qing sighed.
Zhu Daolin didn't want to talk about these heavy issues anymore, so he pulled up Xuanqing Daoist, bypassed the factory full of giant trees, passed through the passage guarded by two guards, and came to the dock where thousands of craftsmen and apprentices had gathered, pointed to the two 700-ton brand new cargo ships that were being refitted and told the master:
"These two new 700-ton ships, as well as the ninety percent new 500-ton warship in the south that is changing its sails, are all ...... that have just been bought from the Franco-man."
"Originally, the Francophiles would rather sell me a latest-type 800-ton ocean-going cargo ship than sell me this 500-ton warship, but under my repeated persuasion, they sold me this seemingly inconspicuous but actually powerful and very useful warship."
"I'm afraid the price isn't cheap, right?" Xuan Qing said with a smile.
Zhu Daolin had a toothache: "It's not cheap. It's ridiculously expensive...... This 500-ton battleship, which has been launched for nearly two years, together with the 36 bronze guns on it, actually asked me for 160,000 taels of silver, and the two 700-ton ocean-going cargo ships combined are only 180,000 taels of silver, and I have lost a lot! ”
"However, I knew that I was slaughtered by the Franco. I still had to grit my teeth and endure it, but fortunately, the mirrors I sold to them were more profitable, and I basically earned them back. ”
Xuan Qing didn't know how shrewd his lover was in business, and he was not confused by his lamentation at all: "You made a lot of money from the Francophone this time, right?" ”
"Not much, nine ships of goods after deducting a large amount of cotton, blankets, shipbuilding wood, copper, iron and tin ingots and other materials transported by the Franc machine, as well as two cargo ships and a warship, this transaction only earned more than 1.3 million taels, plus the more than 3 million taels of silver that the Franc machine man returned the last loan, plus the cash in my hand. There are still 5.5 million taels in total, but they owe Bofu more than 2.2 million yuan. ”
"Fortunately, after I paid off the interest and mantissa of more than 3 million loans, Bofu Money transferred the 3 million loans to my name and exchanged them for two-year loans, otherwise, the money will be used to repay the loans and interest, and it would be good to have 200,000 taels left in the end."
Zhu Daolin told his master the truth, and he would rather get more goods from the Tianshu Pavilion or use copper to deduct it. He also had to save the 5,500,000 taels of silver in his hand so that he could mint silver dollars in the spring of next year. Or together with a few tonnes of stray silver ingots in stock, they can be gradually exchanged for Bofu Money, which is recycled, purified and melted into standard gold bars of 1,000 grams each.
Zhu Daolin gradually stored gold and silver because he was not worried about the future of Bofu Money, and felt that it was necessary to form a separate bank to compete with Bofu Bank.
The name and shareholders of this new bank have been preliminarily determined, and the name is "Daming Four Seas Bank". Within two years, the headquarters building, vault, mint and banknote printing factory with cutting-edge printing machinery will be built in Baoshan Port, and the shareholders of the bank are the four major merchants in the north who have established an alliance with Zhu Daolin, and each of them will own 10 percent of the shares of the "Daming Four Seas Bank", and Zhu Daolin, who has learned from the experience, will personally control 60 percent of the shares and form an absolute controlling stake.
Daoist Xuanqing also has his own thoughts. His eyes looked at the sea ship that was being refitted in front of him, but his mind was thinking about the future of Ziyang Medical College.
Seeing Zhu Daolin standing calmly beside him, staring ahead with blazing eyes, Daoist Xuanqing couldn't calm down after all: "Daolin, are you planning to establish a medical school in the army?" ”
Zhu Daolin replied honestly: "The army must have its own medical school, and from now on, it must gradually set up a shelf, starting with the military doctors and junior doctors who accompany the army, step by step, summing up experience and training talents, and gradually establishing a medical school for training military doctors. ”
Daoist Xuanqing nodded slightly: "How many military doctors have been recruited during this time?" ”
"There are only 39 military doctors officially recruited, and more than 120 young people who are willing to start from junior doctors, according to the situation during this time, there are a lot of applicants, but there are not many who have real talents and real learning, fortunately, there are still 25 days before the recruitment deadline, and then wait and see, many doctors who came from Huguang, Sichuan Province to apply for the recruitment are still on the way." Although Zhu Daolin couldn't see what his master meant, he didn't hide it at all.
Daoist Xuanqing asked again, "How many people do you plan to recruit?" What do you plan to do after that? ”
Zhu Daolin replied: "It is planned to recruit 100 military doctors and 500 junior doctors, all of whom will go to the north with the army, some of them will stay in Qingdao Wei to establish a field hospital, and the rest will be distributed among the various armies, some of them will be stationed in Jinzhouwei and the Manchu Tartars face to face, and some will be stationed on the most dangerous Phi Island with the Longtan army. ”
"Before leaving, I will equip them with a first-aid kit and some commonly used medicines, and I will also buy a batch of Jinchuang medicine, hemostatic powder and scald cream from Ziyangguannei Pharmacy."
Xuan Qingdao sighed faintly: "The medicine is fine, it's just ...... Our medical divination sect has just improved a little, and there are too few talents, but there are 3 jade disciples in the Maoshan Ancestral Court who are good at orthopedics and traumatology and took the initiative to find me and your Xuantao Master and ask to enter your army to hone in training, and these 3 people came back with us yesterday. ”
"I'll pick two more Yuzi disciples who are good at pharmacology and acupuncture for you, a total of 5 people will fight in the north and south with you, and next time you can only wait until 3 years later."
Zhu Daolin was very happy: "Thank you, master!" After the ceremony, the disciples personally sent 45 boxes of human body and organ models, 60 boxes of surgical equipment, 105 wall charts of human meridians, and two boxes of anatomy classics published by Tianshu Pavilion to Master's room. ”
Daoist Xuan Qing was stunned: "You have already prepared these things?" ”
Zhu Daolin replied solemnly: "It was prepared three months ago, if the master can't make up his mind this time to promote the good and eliminate the bad, I will only quietly bring these things to Qingdao Wei and teach them to the military doctors who are willing to forge ahead." ”
"I need to talk to Master here, I will ask for the same number of mannequins, surgical equipment, and anatomy books from the Tianshu Pavilion, and give them to the military doctors who are loyal to me and willing to fight for the cause of medicine for life, even if they are not capable, I will accompany them to grow up slowly."
"Master, when you see those models and equipment, and those precious texts that have condensed the painstaking efforts of countless doctors for hundreds of years, you will know how valuable they are!" (To be continued.) )
