Chapter 359: Thousands of Calculations, Nothing Counted......
"Great King, the minister thinks that our Qin State needs to establish a medical system." Lu Buwei clenched his fists and said, "Chen has only recently discovered that saving the lives of veterans is far more cost-effective than recruiting new recruits. β
"First of all, the combat effectiveness of veterans is higher, in the same war, recruits need 300,000, veterans only need 100,000, or even less than 100,000 to be able to win. Not only can more food be saved, but a large number of people and soldiers can be saved. β
"The manpower saved can be used to cultivate more land or take up other occupations, feed more children, and produce more talent. Moreover, the depreciation rate of veterans is lower, and the pension can be reduced, which greatly reduces the burden on the country. β
Due to the limitations of the times, Qin only knew that veterans had higher combat effectiveness than new soldiers, and never thought about a deeper level.
In King Qin's view, the soldier is a leek in the field, and it will grow out after a period of time after cutting a stubble, as long as it does not die too much at one time, it has no effect at all.
Only LΓΌ Buwei, as a businessman, was very sensitive to profit and loss, and after learning about Zhao Guo's medical system, he began to deduce.
Some things are hard to think of, but it's easy to know the result and then push the reason.
It didn't take long for Lu Buwei to look at it.
Qin Wangji fell into deep thought when he heard this, he was not stupid, on the contrary, he was very smart, even if he was old now and his reaction was a little slow, he would surpass most people.
And you don't need a clear statistic, you can get the results by thinking about it in general.
"Build, starting tomorrow, directly copy the medical system of Zhao State." Qin Wangji didn't think about it for long, and after only three breaths, he made a decision.
"The King...... Half of the world's physicians are in Zhao State. Fan Ju stepped forward and leaned over and said, his face a little bitter.
In this era, the status of doctors is low, there is no teacher to teach, and if you find a teacher, you may not be able to learn, and you may not be able to make money after learning.
If you have a conscience, you will lose money if you don't do it well, and then you won't even be able to marry a daughter-in-law, and then you will be gone.
In these years, there are only three kinds of people who study medicine: family inheritance, interest, and brain pits.
And all three of them come from one class: the aristocracy.
Only the aristocracy had the time, money, and manpower to study diseases, medicines, and medical skills. Even one generation can't study it, two generations, two generations can't study it, three generations. As long as the family is not destroyed, it will always be passed on.
Unless ordinary people have a special opportunity to be adopted like Bi Ming, it is impossible to reach it.
Obviously, the vast majority of nobles will not study medical skills and astrology, which have a long cycle, high investment, low returns, or even no income, and only some people who are full of food will do it.
In short, there are very, very, very few physicians in this period, and they are more precious than giant pandas.
If it weren't for Zhao Guo's means to attract half of the world's doctors to Zhao Guo, he would not have been able to establish a medical system.
Now Qin State wants to learn from Zhao State to establish a medical system, but there is no way to establish it, because there are no doctors.
Qin Wangji's face became even more gloomy, like an ice cube, when Zhao Guo attracted doctors from all over the world, he also laughed at Zhao Guo for raising the status of mere doctors so high, and now he found out that he was stupid.
"King, we can invite some doctors to come over at a high price, those doctors come to Zhao State for nothing more than fame and fortune, and I can also give them to them in Qin State." Wei Ran said.
"That's not enough." Qin Wangji shook his head, how much can Qin Guo invite? Ten? Twenty? Thirty? Even if Zhao Guo didn't stop it, Qin Guo wouldn't be able to invite too much.
Because Qin's money is limited, it is impossible to use it all to get a doctor.
"King, they can also take apprentices, they don't need particularly skilled doctors in the army, even if they can only stop bleeding at the most basic level, they can save a lot of people." Wei Ran opened his mouth and said. "And, less is better than nothing. It's better to start cultivating now than not to cultivate at all. β
"That's what my uncle said. It's better to start cultivating now than not to cultivate at all. Qin Wangji stood up and said loudly, "Qin Yue." β
"The King." Qin Yue walked out from the shadowy place next to him, leaned over and said.
Everyone frowned a little when they saw Qin Yue, Qin Yue's status in the Qin State was equivalent to Liu Ping's status in the Zhao State. The position is not high, but it is powerful, and it has access to the monarch at any time, and it has access to intelligence agencies.
Although nominally external, everyone knows that there must be internal.
Both civil ministers and military generals are naturally disgusted.
"You go to Zhao Country in person and invite some doctors to come over, the more the better." Qin Wangji said.
"No." Qin Yue arched his hand and said, not turning around immediately, but arching his hand and saying, "King, the spies of the Wei State have come to report that there is a thing called alcohol in the Zhao State, which is said to be able to disinfect and sterilize, and the minister does not know what it means, it is said that after smearing the wound with alcohol, the wound will not suppurate." β
Since Zhao Guo became rich in food, he began to distill alcohol, but in order to prevent it from leaking out, Zhao Kuo strictly stipulated that alcohol could only be used in the army, even the ministers of the court and the central government had only heard the name.
But he did a lot of calculations, but he didn't calculate that it would leak out of the Wei State.
This matter also started with Fan Zuo's envoy Zhao Jun, who gave him warm hospitality and accompanied Fan Zuo to inspect the camp.
Fan Zuo said that he had brought some money and food and wanted to go to the wounded barracks to offer condolences, Zhao Kuo also agreed, and specially arranged personnel to accompany him.
Fan Zuo happened to see the alcohol in the camp of the wounded soldiers, so he asked what it was, because the two countries were allies, so Zhao Jun did not deliberately hide it. However, Zhao Guo only said the role, and did not say how to do it, and Fan Zuo did not ask, in his opinion, this kind of thing must be kept secret, even if Zhao Guo asked, it was impossible to say.
After Fan Zuo went back, he told the King of Wei and the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs about it, and said that he could buy some from Zhao Guo in the future.
After so many people knew, it was naturally impossible to hide the news, and within a few days, the Qin State received the news.
In fact, Fan Zuo had no malice from beginning to end, and even the alcohol only asked casually, he went to the wounded barracks mainly to see how many people had died in the previous battle of Zhao Guo.
"Alcohol?" Qin Wangji muttered, "Are you sure the news is true?" β
"Although I haven't seen the real thing, the news came from the Taifu Fan of the Wei State, and it should be true." Qin Yue said.
"Alcohol, it should be related to alcohol. Arrange for someone to study immediately. In addition, you go to Zhao Kingdom this time and find a way to get some back, if you can know the production process, this king will be rewarded. Qin Wangji said.
"No." Qin Yue said with a bitter face, how can this kind of thing be so easy to get, after experiencing the two things of paper and cement, Zhao Guo's defense has become more tight, and even a fly can't fly in.
"Zhao Guo's use of alcohol to treat wounded soldiers must be inseparable from doctors, and only need to focus on doctors, especially after Zhao Jun returns to China, it is impossible to keep military doctors in the barracks. As long as you figure it out, it's not hard to get certain news. Fan Ju said.
"Thank you, sir." Qin Yue's eyes lit up and he bowed.
In this way, he is much more sure.
