Yi Feng has always thought that he is not afraid of being treated as a chess piece, but he is afraid that he has no value and can't even be a chess piece. Even if he was just regarded as a pawn at the beginning, as long as he could cross the river, the pawn would have a chance to check the old handsome, so Yi Feng was not disgusted by Yang Guang and Yang Yong's obvious use of them, at least on the surface, he never resented it. Even he knew that he had actually successfully become a chess piece in the hands of Emperor Yang Jian during this period of time, and his chess piece had successfully crossed the Chu River and Han realm, which also meant that his worth had risen sharply, and he was no longer able to move forward and not backward or left, and now he could not retreat and move forward, but now he has the choice to go left and right, so his power is much greater.

Seeing this, Yi Feng didn't destroy his weight in Yang Jian's heart too much, and even he was still trying to find ways to continuously strengthen his weight in his heart. Regarding the battle between the prince and the king of Jin, he was impartial on the surface. Occasionally, when Yang Jian asked about his attitude, he also tried to avoid really supporting a certain party, such as when Yan Rong was in the case, he did not follow the prince and the king of Han to beat Yang Guang to the water dog, and when Wang Shiji was in the case, he did not follow Yang Guang and Yang Su to chase and beat Gao Gong, and he tried not to get involved in it. However, he also always seized the opportunity to benefit himself and increase his strength. For example, in the Yan Rong case, Yi Feng worked hard to strengthen his influence on Youzhou, and in the end, he unexpectedly became the governor of Youzhou. As for Wang Shiji's case, he was not involved in it on the surface, but in fact he was an important behind-the-scenes strategist who was forced out of the court, and the benefits he obtained were also obvious. Gao Gong lost the emperor's trust, and even the list of governors of Youzhou Mansion led by Gao Gong was abandoned by the emperor. The governors chosen by the emperor were not members of any of the princes' party. Once again, he became the biggest beneficiary.

However, Yi Feng also has to admit that he is actually walking on a tightrope and dancing on an egg, which is quite dangerous, and he may be crushed if he is not careful. Whether it is Yang Yong or Yang Guang, they are not what Yi Feng can fight against today. Therefore, Yi Feng took advantage of the current situation very cleverly and played a dangerous game. In Yang Yong's place, he did not completely refuse Yang Yong's wooing, although he did not agree immediately. It's even a little cold, but this attitude is just right, so that Yang Yong has some expectations, but he won't immediately recognize his true attitude. On Yang Guang's side, he was working hard to advise Yang Guang on the surface, and even provided a lot of money and ordnance funding, but only he knew that he didn't really trust Yang Guang.

Yi Feng summed up the results, and he couldn't really fall out with Yang Yong for the time being. He also needs the identity of the eldest son of the crown prince. It is precisely because of this water-mixed identity that he got the opportunity he has in front of Yang Jian, without this identity, he, a little pawn, would not be able to get on the emperor's chessboard. And he can't really stand aside with Yang Yong. After this time in Beijing, he has deeply understood why Yang Yong was abolished by the emperor when he was old in history, this is a prince who is too mediocre. If there was no prince like Yang Guang, who seemed to be very different from him, maybe he might still be able to succeed to the throne. But since there is a better imperial concubine like Yang Guang, it will be difficult for him to take over. Yi Feng even stood on his side. It is impossible to change the result, although the fierce fight between the princes has caused high-level leaders on both sides to continue to fall, but on the whole, the situation is becoming more and more unfavorable to Yang Yong's side. Now that even Yang Yong's biggest backer, Gao Gong, has lost and stood aside and been kicked off the table, he will stand over again, isn't this impossible to get along with himself? Not to mention that he knows that Yang Guang will inevitably be the final victor in the current situation, even if he can return to heaven and change his life, help Yang Yong achieve victory, and finally ascend to the throne, he can have a real relationship with Yang Yong, as soon as Yang Yong ascends the throne, it will be the end of his life. No matter how stupid Yi Feng is, he can't really help Yang Yong.

Yang Jian in history still has five or six years to live, which also means that it is not surprising that there are still five or six years left in the world for Yang Jian to decide. Therefore, now Yi Feng is as reluctant as possible to openly get involved in the broken matter between the crown prince and Yang Guang, and he has found a direction for himself, that is, to try to win the emperor's support.

In today's situation, Yang Jian, the son of heaven, is the third, and he still has the final say.

The emperor asked Yi Feng to officially marry Li Liyi on the eighth day of the first lunar month, but Yi Feng did not refuse, and he did not have the right to refuse. However, Yi Feng can't say that he is disgusted with this marriage, but he can't say how much he expects it. This is essentially a political marriage, but what is slightly better is that Li Liyi has seen it, and he is even more satisfied, which is much better than the pure arrangement of the parents' order. The marriage was approaching, but Yi Feng did not put any energy into this aspect. He felt that he should prove his worth to Yang Jian more, and after an all-nighter, Yi Feng perfected his plan for battlefield first aid and recuperation of wounded soldiers, and then played it to the emperor.

Today's Yi Feng can be described as a celebrity of the Son of Heaven, so his recitals can go directly to the Son of Heaven without going through the three provinces.

Yang Jian is a very good person, although he is old, his eyes are still keen, and after reading this thick fold on Yi Feng, he was immediately moved. He soon realized that if what Yi Feng said was true, and if this plan could be carried out and realized, it would be of great benefit to the imperial court. Yang Jian actually fought and led soldiers, so he also understood the huge benefits that Yi Feng said about battlefield first aid and recuperation of wounded soldiers. However, Yang Jian was not impressed by some empty plans, he immediately announced that Yifeng entered the palace and asked more details about the implementation of this plan in person, such as the cost and difficulties encountered in the implementation. No matter how perfect a plan is, if it can't be implemented in the end, or if the cost of not implementing it exceeds expectations, then it is worth thinking more.

"How much does a battlefield first-aid kit cost, and can it be prepared and distributed before this big war?" Yang Jian asked the most important question. It's a matter of cost as well as time. There are a lot of soldiers in the Great Sui, but the military system of the Great Sui actually adopts a rather extensive model, that is, the government military system is the main body, and to put it bluntly, the state allocates a piece of land to the government soldiers. They were then exempted from military service in exchange for a minimum expenditure on the military expenses of these soldiers. The imperial court did not pay salaries. Not giving them armor and armor is very low, even in terms of bereavement and reward. There are good and bad systems. The advantage is that the military expenditure of the imperial court has been greatly reduced, which has reduced the burden of the imperial court, and the biggest disadvantage is that the soldiers of the imperial court have become peasant soldiers, and the combat effectiveness has greatly decreased. But it was this system that allowed the original Western Wei and Northern Zhou dynasties to rise in the post-Three Kingdoms era, and eventually dominated the world. The imperial court is also relying on the military system to shake off the huge burden of military spending, so that it can quickly recover its vitality and create a prosperous era of the emperor. Therefore. Yang Jian has always had his own ideas about the army, that is, to save money. Just like after the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, for many years, only the Beijing officials of the imperial court had the money paid by the imperial court, and the local officials, their money was not borne by the imperial court, but relied on the local government to lend money to earn interest and operate industries to pay for the officials' income and office expenses. The imperial court recruited government soldiers to the battlefield, and the battle robes and weapons were all prepared. He even had to prepare his own horses and donkeys to transport heavy equipment, and even had to bring his own food when each soldier left home. The imperial court will reduce military spending to the greatest extent, and now in Yi Feng's plan, although it is clearly stated. If this plan is successfully implemented, the casualty rate can be greatly reduced, but the first aid kit will cost money.

Yi Feng also had some understanding of Yang Jian's character. knows that Yang Jian is a very sharp person in his bones, which means that he is much older now. In the early years, Yang Jian was a person who wanted to spend a penny in half.

Yi Feng unhurriedly explained to the emperor the configuration of the first aid kit and its function, and then calculated the price of each item with the emperor with his fingers. Finally, he said: "There are two most important items in this first aid kit, one is the white medicine used to stop bleeding for Jinchuang, and the other is alcohol used to clean the wound. In the past, we have been purchasing Turkic white from the Turks, and the effect of this Turkic secret recipe is excellent, far exceeding our Han people's own Jinchuang medicine, but the price is also extremely high, and the Turks have always controlled the quantity. Now there is a medicine shop in Huaihuang, and they have developed Huaihuang Bai with better medicinal effects than Turkic Bai. In addition, the medical alcohol made by refining and processing the liquor produced by Huaihuang Distillery is also very good for debridement. ”

"How much is one? How do you guarantee supply? Yang Jian asked about the cost very persistently.

Yi Feng originally proposed this plan, but also had the idea of helping the imperial court reduce the casualty rate of this battle in order to win satisfaction in front of Yang Jian, and at the same time winning two large imperial court orders for himself and making a fortune. But seeing Yang Jian like this now, he thought about it and simply changed his thinking.

"Your Majesty, I have a plan, we can subdivide this first aid kit, we don't have to hand over the whole first aid kit to one family, we can split each item in it separately, and then hand it over to different merchants to do, and even we can subdivide some goods. Just like this Huaihuang white medicine, although only Huaihuang can be produced by a pharmaceutical factory, we can divide it into four links: raw material procurement, processing, and final processing and transportation. Except for the final processing and preparation of the core retained by the Huaihuang Pharmaceutical Factory, the rest can be handed over to other merchants. It is even possible to follow the practice I did when I was nostalgic, and divide the procurement of raw materials, primary processing, and transportation into various districts according to the region, and each district recruits the most powerful businessmen among them to do it. ”

What Yi Feng said is to change some of the current work plans of the imperial court. Under normal circumstances, if the first aid kit project is done by the imperial court, it must be a subordinate of the household department of the imperial court or a yamen such as Shaofu Temple to set up a workshop, recruit artisan workers, and then purchase raw materials and then make zuò for processing. This is a traditional, but by no means efficient. The method proposed by Yi Feng is the ordinary government procurement method in later generations, which formally splits a project, and then bids for bidding and handing it over to the most powerful businessmen to contract it to complete, and the government is not responsible for the actual production, but only bidding and acceptance. This way is the fastest and most effective.

Yang Jian is not the kind of old-fashioned person, and after listening to it, he immediately understood the benefits of this bidding and contracting model.

As for the cost, Yi Feng thinks it's not the biggest problem, how much does a first-aid kit cost? Even if each soldier is given one copy, this kind of thing, a war is generally distributed once, and even if there is a supplement later, it will not be much. Even if a first-aid kit is 100 or 200 yuan, so what, compared to a soldier's life, the cost is already worth it. Although the imperial court's investment in the bereavement of the government soldiers is not high, it is not high. Soldiers are killed on the battlefield or disabled. The imperial court also had to come up with a lot of money for the pension, and what if the soldiers were saved because of this battlefield first aid and wounded soldier recuperation plan. Isn't that pension worth at least a few dozen or hundreds of first-aid kits? In this way, which one is more cost-effective, doesn't Yang Jian understand. What's more, the death and disability of soldiers in battle is not just a matter of pension expenditure. In this era, population is very valuable, and the most important item in the performance evaluation of magistrates and even political officials is population growth.

Yang Jian thought for a long time after hearing this, and then said: "In this way, the cost is not a problem. Supply can also be solved, and the two most important problems are solved. However, the use of first-aid kits for the soldiers of the Salvation Society, the construction of a recuperation camp for the wounded soldiers, and most importantly, the need for a large number of doctors. ”

This is a new problem, especially for doctors, because if medicine is provided but there is no doctor, then there is no point in treating the wounded and recuperating the soldiers. And the doctor. It has always been precious and scarce, and even if the imperial court recruits them, it is difficult to recruit them in sufficient quantities.

"My grandson doesn't think it's a problem, and I have a plan that can go a long way in making up for the lack of doctors."

Yifeng's solution is actually very simple. That is to add a group of doctors' assistants and full-time nurses. In this era, doctors still treat diseases in a more traditional way, and they do everything by themselves to diagnose and prescribe medicines. Yi Feng thinks. In fact, in a wartime such as a medical camp, there will be a large number of patients, especially in the case of surgical patients. This one of the later Western medicine hospitals is better. To put it bluntly, it is to let these doctors also form an assembly line for treatment. Divide the doctors into various departments, and subdivide them into departments, and at the same time subdivide them, to put it bluntly, it is necessary to reflect the functions of doctors as much as possible. Recruit a large number of nurses for training, so that they can take over some initial nursing work, and then recruit some doctors' apprentices or some medical pharmacy guys, let them be the doctor's assistants, and some initial treatment will be handed over to them. The real doctors are mainly responsible for diagnosing, prescribing medicines and performing surgeries, so that a doctor can bring several apprentices and a group of nurses to form a treatment team, and the efficiency of treatment can be greatly improved.

"This method is good, but it is a bit similar to being an official, the big official is in charge of big things, the small official is in charge of small things, and the officials run errands." Yang Jian laughed, "I think now that I regret letting you be the governor of Youzhou, I should keep you in the court, your brain is very flexible, and you can always think about problems from many different directions." Why don't you stay in Beijing? ”

Yi Feng couldn't figure out whether Yang Jian's words were true or false, but he didn't want to stay in Jingshi. At the moment, he just smiled and said that he was a little clever at best, but he didn't have any qualifications to stay in the court, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to take on heavy responsibilities.

"You can think about it again, if you are willing to stay, I will let you serve as the inner history commander first, and wait for the sharpening. Now that Gao Gong is also old, in the future, the major events of the DPRK and China cannot only rely on the right servant to shoot Yang Su alone. When Yang Su is promoted to the left servant shooter, you will do the right servant shot when you arrive. ”

Yi Feng didn't have to think about it at all, let alone being an internal history order, even if Yang Jian immediately asked him to shoot as a right servant now, he didn't have the slightest will. Although the servant is the prime minister, this is just a mansion in the air, in today's form, he wants to manage Huaihuang well, and then control Youzhou in his hands, and he has no interest in the position of the court. However, he was not easy to say clearly, lest the emperor see his true thoughts, so he just insisted that he was not qualified, and said that now that the war in the north was imminent, he would prefer to guard the frontier for the emperor. Yang Jian also saw that Yi Feng was really unwilling to stay in the court, so he smiled at the moment and didn't mention it.

"It's okay if you want to go to Youzhou, but you came up with this medical plan, and you have to be responsible for it to the end. After careful discussion with Yang Su, you and Shangshu Province drew up a detailed plan to recruit training doctors, apprentices and nurses in the medical hall and pharmacy, and implement them as much as possible. In particular, the tender for the procurement of the first aid kit and the supply of medicines for the sanatorium mentioned earlier has to be started as soon as possible, and we don't have much time for the war to start soon. ”

"I understand."

"You can do things boldly and boldly, you don't have to worry about money, the Ministry of Civil Affairs will truthfully withdraw money to you." Yang Jian said, "If this plan can really succeed, this war will reduce the number of casualties and countless soldiers, and this money is completely worth spending." After a pause, Yang Jian said again: "Since you refuse to stay in the court, but I don't worry about leaving this matter to others to be responsible, I will add an official position to you, and temporarily coordinate with the ministries and ministers with the title of governor to be responsible for handling this matter." ”

Yang Jian explained to Yi Feng the nature of this temporary official position to participate in political affairs for the first time, this is a temporary official position, but it is an important position second only to the governors of the three provinces, which is equivalent to the deputy minister, as long as it involves this medical plan, Yi Feng can use this title of political affairs to coordinate the cooperation of various ministries and departments.

Yi Feng was thinking in his heart, Yang Jian had just kicked Prime Minister Gao Gong out of the court's decision-making circle, but at this time, he was given such a "temporary deputy minister" title of political counselor, which does not seem to be as simple as it seems, and it is likely to have a deeper meaning, involving the current situation in the court. However, Yi Feng thought about it, no matter what Tianzi intended, there would be no harm to him. Now thank you, take this temporary dispatch!
