On the first day of the thirteenth year of Hongwu, Boss Zhu personally announced that King Zhou had successfully developed the 'Hongwu Miao' that could completely prevent pox!

This matter has long been rumored in the government and the opposition, and both the civil and military will be suspicious of it. First of all, this matter must be true, but it is unknown whether Hongwu Miao is as god as Emperor Hongwu boasted.

But since the name 'Hong Wumiao' was given, no one dared to question it. Besides, for the New Year, who would dare to block the emperor? So they offered compliments one after another, competing to say what to say about the benevolence of the king of Zhou, the prosperity of the dynasty, the blessing of the Ming Dynasty, the relief of the people and so on.

What really shocked them was that Boss Zhu blatantly claimed that he had been vaccinated with Hong Wumiao! And not only himself, but the entire royal family has been vaccinated, even the eighteenth son Zhu Yang and the nineteenth son Zhu Lu, who are less than one year old.

The ministers had to sigh, this old Zhu family is really reckless...... I'm not afraid that something will go wrong, and the group will be wiped out.

Of course, I have to be deeply moved, saying that 'in ancient times, there were Shennong who tasted a hundred herbs, and now there are saints who tried pox seedlings', Your Majesty is really benevolent and virtuous......

Boss Zhu didn't care whether they were true or false, and announced that he would upgrade the Tai Hospital to the Imperial Medical Temple, which would be in charge of the world's medicine and epidemic prevention.

According to the plan jointly agreed upon by the prince, the king of Zhou, the king of Chu, and the president and judge of the Tai Hospital. The Imperial Medical Temple has a temple Qing and four products. Shaoqing two from the fourth grade, two people, six products, two main books, seven products. The five departments of chief physician, epidemic prevention, pharmacy, medicine, and military medicine.

In addition to continuing to be responsible for the medical services of the royal family and princely ministers, the Tai Yi Department was also responsible for sorting out the cases of ancient and modern famous doctors, collecting effective prescriptions from all over the world, and compiling them into books. And taste its efficacy, remove the false and retain the true, choose the good ones to teach the state and county, so that the doctor is responsible for using the medicine according to the prescription.

The Epidemic Prevention Department is responsible for monitoring the epidemic situation across the country, formulating anti-epidemic policies, coordinating and directing national anti-epidemic matters, and providing anti-epidemic drugs for free benefits to the affected people.

The Pharmacy Administration is in charge of the National Huimin Pharmacy.

Huimin Pharmacy is an officially run pharmacy that provides free diagnosis and cheap medicines for the poor. It is a kind of medical relief with the nature of social welfare.

Boss Zhu cares about the poor people, of course, not to be left behind, Hongwu issued an order in the third year, ordered the world Fuzhou County to open a Huimin pharmacy, free treatment of poor military and civilian diseases, each bureau selected a medical officer to lead, in the medical household to select a member of the internal and surgical doctors to sit in the museum.

As for the most important source of medicinal materials in the pharmacy, Boss Zhu's consistent style is supplied by the place of origin of medicinal materials in the form of taxation.

Boss Zhu's original intention is definitely good, but the execution is not so wonderful. The Ming Dynasty didn't have that strength at all, and it couldn't afford this kind of free universal medical care, so Huimin pharmacies in various places were naturally just a formality.

Later, Boss Zhu had no choice but to sell medicine to the people at a low price, and the situation improved. But it still can't change the dilemma of lack of medicine in pharmacies around the country.

But it can't be said that Huimin Pharmacy is useless, at least when the plague broke out, the imperial court had Huimin Pharmacy as a way, which could distribute medicinal materials to the people in a timely manner and provide guidance on epidemic prevention.

Boss Zhu set up the Pharmacy Administration to be in charge of the World Huimin Pharmacy this time, and he also wanted to see if there was a way to let this moral policy of benefiting the people play its due role.

As for the Medical Department, it is in charge of local and county medicine. Medicine is a subordinate office of the local government, which is responsible for leading local doctors to 'study medical books, repair medicines, and treat diseases of officials, soldiers, civilians, prisoners, etc.'.

The Military Medical Department, as the name suggests, is responsible for the training and delivery of military doctors for the army and the management of military hospitals......

~~

This imperial medical temple and the five temples stand side by side, which can be said to raise the medical system of the Ming Dynasty to an unprecedented height. Naturally, it has received strong support from the whole hospital of Tai.

In the past, the Imperial Physician was just a miscellaneous official between the officials. Although those ministers were polite on the surface, it was because they were pointed to them to see a doctor to save their lives, but in fact no one regarded them as real officials.

Now there is an opportunity to put the medical system on an equal footing with imperial institutions such as Dali Temple and Taichang Temple, and to make medical officials become serious court officials. How could the hospital let go of this kind of undreaming opportunity?

And for fear of long nights and dreams, they agreed to all the plans proposed by several highnesses, and unanimously implored His Royal Highness King Zhou to serve as the first temple secretary...... I only hope that the Huangyi Temple will be established as soon as possible, and there will be no more extraneous branches.

Of course, there is another important reason why the Huangyi Temple was established so smoothly is that Zhongshu Province did not stop it.

If the establishment of such a large institution is based on past practice, the province of China will have to pay more attention to the establishment of officials, to the allocation of expenses, and even to the formulation of powers and responsibilities. It's fast to break for a year and a half.

However, this time, as soon as the "Please Set Up the Imperial Medical Temple" in the name of the Ether Hospital was sent to Zhongshu Province, Hu Xiang waved his pen and approved it without changing a word.

This is in time for the proclamation of the Great Dynasty on New Year's Day.

Even Boss Zhu was quite surprised, and after announcing the decree, he praised Hu Weiyong and said:

"This time, the cooperation of Zhongshu Province is very good, which makes us unexpected."

"Back to the emperor, the minister is confused, and he also knows that the emperor set up the Imperial Medical Temple for the sake of 'the formation of the Ming King's Road and the great benefit of Bu Qunli'!" Hu Weiyong hurriedly went out of class and said respectfully: "Of course, I have to support it vigorously." ”

"Look, let's just say that Hu Xiang is an understanding person." Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, looking down at Hu Weiyong's face full of respect and sincerity, and he couldn't see anything else.

The emperor smiled and said: "As for the expenses of the Imperial Medical Temple, Hu Xiang can rest assured that he will not increase the burden on the imperial court." This is what a few boys promised us, otherwise we wouldn't have agreed so happily. ”

"Oh?" This surprised Hu Weiyong a little, medical treatment is a big hole. Every year, the provincial political departments have to complain to him, and this year they will be posted into the Huimin Pharmacy to go to more than 100,000 yuan.

He estimated that the provinces together would have an expenditure of several million yuan......

I didn't expect that those young and vigorous princes actually wanted to solve the deficit by themselves, which was really unbelievable.

But if he doesn't have a headache, of course he can't ask for it. Hu Weiyong smiled and said: "Several highnesses are really capable of ordinary people." The minister was still worried, where would this expense come from? ”

"Who knows if they'll be able to do what they say." Boss Zhu skillfully left a word and said: "In case the cowhide is blown by then, I have to wipe their butts with Zhongshu Province." ”

"Ministers have an unshirkable responsibility." Hu Weiyong agreed.

"Okay, it's really worthy of the prime minister's responsibility!" Boss Zhu was full of praise.

~~

Because of Hu Xiang's high degree of cooperation, the first dynasty of the thirteenth year of Hongwu ended in an incomparably harmonious atmosphere.

So much so that after the dispersal of the dynasty, His Royal Highness King Zhou had to catch up with Hu Weiyong and thank him alone.

Hu Weiyong was very respectful and polite to King Zhou, and said that he could find himself if he had any difficulties, and the whole province of Zhongshu would serve wholeheartedly.

The king of Zhou couldn't close his mouth happily, and felt that it was really the same force of heaven and earth!
