Chapter 399: Preparing for the opening

Talking about doctors doesn't care how the officials pat the sycophants of the Son of Heaven, and having fun with the people is often used by the officials themselves to whitewash the faΓ§ade. Whether the people are happy or not, she knows it in her heart.

She has such a high respect and identification with the emperor, mainly because she has seen the actual change. Ordinary people like Aunt Gu in the women's hospital can have a place to live in Beijing, have a regular amount of money every month, and their children can study.

If you can do this, you will be a great good ruler and the most benevolent emperor.

As for Gu Zuo, he saw the itch point of Dr. Tan's trip.

Since she is benevolent and benevolent, she naturally hopes that there will be more hospitals and more doctors, how many people can she save even if she doesn't eat or drink alone?

"As long as the number of medical centers increases, it does not matter where it increases...... I'm all willing. ”

There is a medical school in the academy, and although the doctor needs to be led by the master for many years, it has been eight or nine years since there was a medical school, and some of the first apprentices can already sit on the stage for consultation. So there is no shortage of doctors. But......

"But Shao Situ ...... The hospital is dedicated to treating the sick and saving people, and the consultation fees collected have always been very low, plus some money from the imperial court, so it can be maintained. Now I have to rent a shop in the city that never sleeps, and I have to set up a medical hall again, and the silver taels required are too much. ”

Gu Zuo took it down, "Don't worry about the silver." The city that never sleeps was built for the people, and the hospital was also built for the people. Moreover, the medical hall was originally built with funds from the imperial court, and now His Majesty will not disagree with any more of them. This matter is to go down and fight for His Majesty. ”

Silver is the key. When Tan Yunxian heard this, he immediately had no objections, "If this is really the case, it would be good to have one more medical center." ”

"Good. Doctor Tan can appoint one person, and he can also appoint one person below, after all, we don't know what the medical hall should be. All the details are not a problem, just ask them to discuss. There is only one request under it. ”

It won't be too unsentimental to talk about the doctor's cheapness," Shao Situ said. ”

"Please talk to the doctor on both sides of the consultation, the time is ...... Both clinics are not biased. ”

Tan Yunxian frowned, so that it would be easy for familiar people to find her.

Gu Zuo naturally also knew, "Although there will be some inconvenience, it will soon be eliminated after a period of time." ”

"Okay then, I can say yes."

Gu Zuo's heart was settled, and he got another one.

Now it has been decided, in addition to restaurants, hospitals, garment shops, brothels, gambling houses, these are all very large shops, there are so few, the people attracted are indispensable.

In addition, there are some small shops, such as pharmacies, gold and silver shops, tanners' shops, pawn shops, tea shops, antique shops, incense and candle shops, etc.

But the key to the success of the city that never sleeps is to attract people, so the complete variety of shops is one thing, and the other is to ensure the quality.

The former is to ensure that the city that never sleeps can be a hit. The latter is guaranteed to be able to flow for a long time.

Therefore, the contract is signed with all tenants, because I am afraid that if there is any problem, the source can be found in such a large place anyway.

As Gu Zuo expected,

Now that the imperial court has the motivation to spend money, it is not difficult to persuade the emperor to agree to build another medical hall in the city that never sleeps, in fact, it is not a construction, the house itself is there, it is nothing more than decoration.

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Looking for an opportunity, I want to take a look, this is a big deal, not to mention, there are so many shops, thousands of people have a place to eat. If it can be repeated and run naturally, it will not be in vain for me and Liqing to spend so much energy. Zhengde also had one more good governance that could be explained to his ancestors and descendants. ”

When the emperor left the palace, Gu Zuo did not dare to agree immediately. only said: "Please wait a little longer, everything is in order, and Weichen is embarrassed to invite Your Majesty to come and see." ”

"Good. How many shops are there? ”

"All rented, there are 108. Half of them have already found a tenant. ”

Zhu Houzhao was pacing in the hall, and he knew this matter in his heart, "By the way, what's wrong with the white list?" ”

"There are twelve families that have prepared their names and origins here in Weichen."

"Twelve families are enough, and the imperial court will build roads...... In fact, it is not a road construction, there was originally an official road between the two capitals, but this time the standard will be raised. Now, the Shaofu can reveal some projects and put forward conditions. I mean that the official roads are mainly widened and repaired along the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, and the road surface should be flat, wide, straight and hard. Let's throw out three sections first, one is from Jingshi to Tianjin Wei, the second is from Xuzhou to Huai'an, and the third is from Huai'an to Yangzhou. ”

Step by step, such a big thing, the first time I do it, it is easy to make a mess when I do it.

"There are many business travelers and goods along the road of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal, which can maximize the role after completion. In addition, the road should separate the two directions. ”

Gu Zuo showed a slight doubt.

Zhu Houzhao gestured with his hand, "The avenue is facing the sky, and each one walks aside." Those who go to the north take one road, and those who go south go to the side of the road, without interfering with each other. The middle is separated by something, and it is not allowed to climb over or go in the opposite direction at will. In this way, the carriage can at least go faster. ”

Gu Zuo nodded, "Building the road is really a big project, and I'm afraid that more than eight million taels of silver may not ......be enough."

"Then you can set up a post along the way, and build inns and tea shops there, and sell food, water, and all kinds of things you need to go out of your home, and you can earn back some silver. In addition, you can think of a way to see if you can collect a little cheap toll money. ”

Zhu Houzhao only proposed it tentatively, because he knew that it was a little difficult to operate, for example, if you want to collect money, people will take a detour. This is not a modern highway, and cars can only enter and exit through specific entrances and exits.

Halfway in, halfway out, where do you charge?

So it's actually a nuisance.

But the road still needs to be repaired, because the social benefits of these facilities themselves are higher than the economic benefits.

Zhu Houzhao also said, "For these three sections of the project, Shaofu will first estimate the cost, and roughly set the number, so that the people on the white list are willing to spend all their efforts to do this work." And to tell them which of these three roads is the best, and the rest such as Yangzhou to Yingtian, there is no need to compete, and the Shaofu will directly appoint them. ”

"If any one can build a hard, smooth, and rain-proof road, I am willing to make a long-term agreement with him, and in the future, the imperial court will give priority to him in all road construction projects."

In fact, the so-called rainwater prevention can be done with stones. However, the cost is huge, and it is almost impossible to pave all the stones for such a small amount of silver and such a long road.

Gu Zuo understood the deep meaning of the emperor's arrangement, that is, to try his best to let those people use their brains and find a way to repair the road, and not rely on government decrees or money. Money can make ghosts grind.

Sometimes Kumon is not as good as silver.

In this way, Shaofu will be easier than when you build a city that never sleeps.

At the same time, more people are mobilized, and more people can earn money.

Therefore, this method is good for the court, the Shaofu, and the people, it is really a must.

Although Shaofu became the seventh part, it was delayed a little. But things can't be stopped, the auction of salt farms and the construction of roads are all small and detailed matters of people's livelihood.

Zhu Houzhao thought that there was a disaster relief from the imperial court, and the two Huai should not be in chaos, so as to ......

"Liqing, let's do it next spring. At the time of the Great Meeting, I will make this matter one of the topics discussed. This year, all the preparations will be completed, and as soon as the next year's court meeting is over, construction will start immediately. After a long time, the money will not be able to be spent. ”

"Wechen obeys!"

The prosperous era is always called the prosperous era when the Ming Dynasty is prosperous.

Of course, it is also necessary to expand the territory, but at this time it is only the first year of Zhengde, so what is the urgency.

And having said that, he, the emperor, is not without action in military affairs, seeing that it is already August, Zhu Houzhao is really slowly anxious, and I don't know if there is any news from Datong......
