There are not a few men from Chu and Vietnam who died in the hands of Wu Jun.

It is very difficult to disappear this kind of hatred.

Qingji can only try to influence them through kindness, so that they can treat themselves as Wu people, regardless of each other......

In other words, those who really have the heart to rebel against Wu are never those low-level people who work hard and complain.

For example, Chu, Yue, Yun, Ba and other countries, after being annexed by Wu, there are still many nobles, who have been under the strict supervision of Wu and dare not act rashly.

Once the state of Wu suffers an unprecedented defeat, the national strength is weakened, or Qingji suddenly dies, I am afraid that the state of Wu will fall into a situation of wolf smoke in an instant, and civil strife will continue.

Why?

Because in the past, these nobles were either the sons of a country, or the feudal monarchs, and the kings and ministers.

With the destruction of their homeland, most of them have become civilians, and their former glory and identity are no longer there, how can they be willing?

Those at the bottom of the Li Shu are different.

Thanks to Wu's various policies to benefit the people, their lives at this time are very nourishing, much better than in the past, it can be said that they have lived and worked in peace and contentment, how can they hope that Wu will be in turmoil?

"Uncle, where should the widow start?"

Qingji asked a more critical question.

Hearing this, Ji Za thought for a while, and then said: "The king, with the old minister, the biggest vision in Li Shu's heart is to learn and teach, work to earn, to treat the sick, to support the elderly, and to live. ”

"For example, the peasant woman who lost her money who was waiting for Lao Chen before, her mother-in-law was sick, and in desperation, she could only borrow money to go to the city to get medicine."

"If you are sick, how can you be cured?"

"A person, a family, is based on hard work, eat and drink without worry, but once infected and need to take medicine, it will inevitably crush a family."

“……”

This is indeed a major crux of people's livelihood.

In fact, such things have been inevitable from ancient times to the present day.

The current state of Wu, with the medical school of Jixia Academy, has cultivated many excellent doctors every year.

In the event of war, some of the healers would follow the Wu army and treat the wounded.

And more doctors are scattered in various places in the Wu Kingdom, making a Jianghu Langzhong, or opening their own medicine shops, specializing in peddling medicinal materials......

The price of this folk medicinal material is only high, not low.

Qingji has never grabbed medicine, but he has always been very clear in his heart.

"Uncle Zu, how can this problem be improved?"

Hearing this, Ji Za was silent for a moment, and then replied: "King, I wonder if this medicine shop can be monopolized by the state like salt and iron?" ”

Unsurprisingly, Jiza still said this kind of advice.

Does the state run a pharmacy to benefit the people?

Seriously, in this kind of thing, Qingji is quite hesitant.

Not to mention how many people's "cakes" will be moved by the state-run medicine shop, the herbs are all in the mountains, it is not easy to find, and the cost of finding herbs alone is not ordinarily large.

If Qingji reforms and makes the medicine shop official, it is estimated that the loss of the national treasury every year will be an astronomical amount!

Although Qingji now planned to consume the money and grain accumulated in the treasury for many years and let the entire market circulate, he never thought of taking over such a large medicinal material market......

It's bound to be a loss-making business!

"Uncle, after letting the widow go back, think about it."

Qingji rubbed his temples and said quite nerve-wrackingly.

It is normal that he can't make a decision for a while.

After all, the stakes are high!

Ji Zha's proposition reminded Qingji of the historical "Huimin Pharmacy".

As the name suggests, Huimin Pharmacy is a pharmacy for the people.

The earliest Huimin Pharmacy was established in the third year of Jiading in the Southern Song Dynasty, when the government recruited professionals to see a doctor and take medicine for the people.

During the Ming Dynasty, medicine was also attached great importance to medicine, and at that time, it also began to pay attention to everyone's health, so such a Huimin pharmacy was set up in the capital.

The reason why there is the word "Huimin" is that for the people, the price of medicine and the money for medical treatment are relatively favorable.

Because in that era, there were very few specialized medical institutions, except for some so-called famous doctors and Langzhong, who were doctors that only rich and noble families could afford!

Not to mention that the medical skills of famous doctors in the rivers and lakes and Langzhong are limited, even if they are professional doctors, not everyone has the ability to invite them.

Their house call fees are very high, and the price of medicine is ridiculously expensive.

As a result, there are also poor families who die because they are unable to heal their diseases.

In such a situation, Huimin Pharmacy can be said to have played an important role......

At this moment, Ji Za said again: "Let's talk about the old and have support." ”

"Great King, after the reform of the law, my Wu country does not raise idlers, so there are basically no beggars and idle people in the country. Even the disabled have been able to become self-reliant as much as possible with the help of the government. ”

"However, there is a group that still needs to be fed."

Qingji said thoughtfully: "Please speak." ”

"It's a widowed and lonely old man."

Ji Za sighed and said: "Some old people, who have no children under their knees, were injured and sick for various reasons when they were young, and they are lonely, and the king should make the state take care of them, give them favors, and even take care of the aftermath in place." ”

"Good."

Of course, Qingji is a person who respects the old and loves the young.

Since the welfare policy is to be implemented for the Chinese people, how can Qingji be stingy?

For example, in the early years, Qingji had promulgated policies that had always been aimed at people with disabilities.

If you are blind, you can learn phonology.

If it is a person who lacks hands and feet, he can be taught the method of fishing and farming, so that he can earn a living and abandon it.

If it is a deaf and mute person, you can also teach it to read and write, and send a doctor to recuperate.

If it is an idiot, a madman, or a paralyzed person with half a body, he will be recuperated and improved together, and the government will take care of him.

For those who are really unable to support themselves, the government should also bear the food and clothing of one of them......

It is not that people with disabilities are incapable of earning a living, it depends on the circumstances.

If they are lonely and widowed old people, when they reach a certain age, they really shouldn't be tired.

"King, for young people of the right age, Wu Guo should learn and teach."

Ji Za said: "I am a big Wu, and now a hundred schools of thought are contending, and the academic is prosperous. ”

"However, even in the Kingdom of Wu, those who are illiterate do not know how many mortals, why doesn't the king give them a chance to learn and learn, and even get ahead with their talents?"

“……”

Is there something to teach?

In this matter, Qingji was more disgusted in his heart.

It is true that there are enough people in a country who can read and write, and quantitative changes will cause qualitative changes, which will make the country full of talented people and incomparably prosperous culture.

However, after opening the people's wisdom, where will Wu Guo go in the future?

Towards "dish cooking"?

Or is it a constitutional monarchy?

This is something that Qingji will never tolerate!

The monarchy of Wu is absolute and cannot be changed.
