Chapter 141

When you succeed, you will find that you are surrounded by good people.

Cheng Shijie can be said to be very successful now, the official residence is a product, even if it is a relatively worthless military attaché, it is also a product, especially a Liaodong economic envoy who also has a positive and second-grade Liaodong economic envoy, who controls the Ning Navy and controls the Dongjiang Army, that is a proper feudal official.

If Cheng Shijie was just a Dengzhou Weizuo Qianhu or a garrison of the Ning Navy, Yang Qingyun would definitely not work for Cheng Shijie, of course, Cheng Shijie's current official position, Yang Qingyun actually has no ability and strength to refuse.

Because the doctor is one of the only hundred schools of thought that Confucianism does not exclude, the lofty ideal of a scholar is not to be a good doctor. With this environment, the environment for the development of medical skills is quite good.

Cheng Shijie has a lot to choose from, and if he is willing to find it, there is enough price to find countless good doctors. Yang Qingyun, the son of a former imperial doctor, actually has no capital to be proud of.

Cheng Shijie gave Yang Qingyun the position of dean of Xinghai Medical College, which is at the same level as Luo Tong, the president of Ninghai Navy Field Hospital, and enjoys the rank of four grades.

Yang Qingyun was very satisfied with this, and immediately began to introduce his work plan to Cheng Shijie as the dean of Xinghai Medical College.

The traditional model of TCM practice is the clinic system, and there is almost no trend towards large-scale general hospitals.

The real reason for the slow development of traditional Chinese medicine is that the threshold of this industry is very high, unlike Western medicine, which uses a thermometer to measure the body temperature to know whether there is a fever, and if you have a fever, you can use medicine or injections and infusions to solve these three solutions.

However, Chinese medicine is different, Chinese medicine pays attention to "looking, smelling, asking, and cutting!" "This is just four words, very experienced, want to train a qualified Chinese medicine doctor, let alone three or five years, ten or eight years can barely be regarded as a beginner, twenty years can have a small success, thirty years to achieve a big success.

It is precisely because the cultivation of traditional Chinese medicine is too difficult, and the part that Cheng Shijie is best at is to integrate all the resources that can be used.

The field hospital of the Ning Navy has already explored mature experience. For example, a medical team set up at the department level, with a staff of 12 personnel, can perform simple surgeries, wound sutures, broken bone alignment, wound dressing, and if it is an emergency, it can be divided into two treatment teams and work separately.

At present, the medical practitioners in southern Liaoning are really not too high, and if there is a choice, ordinary doctors are reluctant to live in southern Liaoning. Therefore, in the field hospital of the Ning Navy, there are almost no doctors with high medical skills, but in order to carry out the work quickly, they can deal with difficult medical problems.

Unlike the hospital surgery of later generations, the field hospital of the Ning Navy is divided into general surgery, orthopedics, thoracic surgery, neurosurgery, urology, plastic surgery, etc. However, Ning Haijun's surgery is divided into head surgery, arm surgery, leg surgery, foot surgery, thoracic and abdominal surgery, and so on.

Each department is dedicated to the treatment of injuries such as arrow wounds, knife wounds, gunshot wounds, and ulcers......

"Qingyun, how was the visit to the field hospital?"

"I have a deep understanding and a deep feeling!"

Cheng Shijie looked at Yang Qingyun and said: "We have very few people in southern Liaoning now, and we can immigrate from outside, although it is okay, but it will take a long time for immigrants to become our own people." The best way to reduce the infant mortality rate is precious to everyone! ”

Cheng Shijie signed a performance management regulation in front of Yang Qingyun, specifically for Yang Qingyun, for every qualified stable woman trained in Xinghai Medical College, that is, a midwife, he can get a commission of one or two silver, if the trained qualified stable woman is 1,000 people, he can get 1,000 taels of additional income, if it is 10,000 people, it is 10,000 taels of silver.

Yang Qingyun, the dean of the Liaoning South Medical College who had not yet begun to take office, suddenly had his eyes lit up and his breath became short.

Wenpo is a very unique profession, and women who can become Wenpo either have very rich experience in childbirth themselves, or have learned similar knowledge, and the training is not complicated.

Cheng Shijie has checked the relevant information, generally speaking, a very important factor in the infant mortality rate in ancient times is the problem of sanitary conditions, that is, when the mother is delivering the baby, the general family directly treats the bedroom as a delivery room.

Especially the concept of hygiene, the ancient people believed that pregnant women or mothers were afraid of the wind and were easy to enter the body, so this bedroom was a closed space for a long time before the delivery, and the air in it was polluted, coupled with the living habits of the ancient people, a large number of bacteria were easy to be produced in the room. The concept of hygiene and hygienic conditions can easily lead to various diseases.

And the resistance of newborn babies is poor......

There is also a very important reason, the social productivity is low, and ordinary people can only solve their own food and clothing. This will cause two problems, one is that due to the low standard of living, the child can only eat enough and is malnourished. Or it can be said that the milk is not nutritious due to the mother's malnutrition. Malnutrition naturally has low immunity, and it is more likely to get sick, and once it gets sick, it will be more auspicious. Second, because there is not enough money, many children are unable to see a doctor after getting sick, or they have no money to buy medicine after seeing a doctor, so they can only let it go.

"Ben Shuai plans to use two to three years in the next two to three years to establish at least one maternal and child health care center in each town in southern Liaoning, which is responsible for delivering mothers and postpartum care."

Cheng Shijie is also thinking that if you want to improve the living standards of the whole people in a relatively short period of time, it is very unrealistic, which needs to be done step by step.

He can create wealth quickly, but he can't quickly achieve prosperity for all.

The only way to do this is to reclaim the benefits of subsidy, from midwifery to nursing, to reduce the risk of infant death in the first month of life.

"Dashuai, I'm just afraid of this maternal and child health hospital. I'm afraid no one will go. ”

Although Yang Qingyun is a doctor, he is no stranger to midwifery, and most people ask Wen Po to deliver babies, and they all successfully give birth to sons and give rewards.

In terms of infant mortality rates, there are absolutely more female babies than male babies, which is also caused by perception.

"One month before the mother gives birth to a child and one month after the birth of the child, she can live in the maternal and child health hospital, and provide free room and board, as well as nursing expenses!"

Cheng Shijie thought for a while and said: "When the newborn is 100 days old, Ben Shuai will directly send 200 copper coins to the account of the newborn's parents, which will be used exclusively for the nutrition of the newborn. This money will be paid at regular intervals every month until the baby reaches the age of one. ”

"It takes a lot of money!"

"Ben Shuai is not short of money now!"

Cheng Shijie has gone through the initial difficult period, and the current factory, including the next Tuntian, can receive a return on the massive investment in the early stage.

In just this piece of Tuntian, Cheng Shijie can harvest more than 1.5 million stone of grain, possibly more, and of course a large number of potatoes, sweet potatoes, corn, and vegetables.

Although it is said that the principle of not collecting taxes is adopted for the military rank and meritorious fields of the Ning Navy, Cheng Shijie will not allow other grain merchants to appear in southern Liaoning. He wanted to become the largest grain merchant and monopolize and control the grain market in southern Liaoning.

When Cheng Shijie gave Yang Qingyun an idea, he borrowed the experience of working in the hotel and introduced: "Any craftsman who can be called a master of steelmaking needs at least three years or even longer work experience, however, if a restaurant invites dozens of masters, it will definitely not be able to afford to please, in order to improve the speed of stir-frying, you can let a master, with a dozen apprentices, practice cutting vegetables, learn to cut vegetables, side dishes, stir-fry vegetables, stewed dishes, soup soup, so on, A master with a dozen apprentices can build a medium-sized restaurant. ”

Listening to Cheng Shijie's words, Yang Qingyun suddenly realized, he understood, this is actually not Cheng Shijie's originality, this is the way that many masters like to do when they accept apprentices.

Just like Xu Guangqi took in many apprentices, Sun Yuanhua learned his mechanical manufacturing and casting artillery skills, and Chen Zilong learned his agricultural skills and astronomical calendar skills.

If you break down all the technical skills and practice one of them, you can quickly learn and work with others to do the work that only a good technician can do.

A qualified chef needs three or five months just to practice knife skills, and it takes the same amount of time to master stir-frying, and the side dishes are similar, even if it is the model of New Oriental, two years of graduates, don't really want to be in charge.

Yang Qingyun began to study how to establish Xinghai Medical College and how to grow Chinese herbal medicine on a large scale. Xie Jinglin began to calculate Fan Yongdou according to Cheng Shijie's order.

Cheng Shijie popularized a concept to Xie Jinglin, Jiannu actually does not have any sense of territory, and the current Houjin territory is not completely fixed, and whoever fights the territory will be anyone's.

The sailors of the Ning Navy have not participated in the battle with Jiannu all along, so the officers and men of the sailors now have opinions, and they also need to be meritorious.

Therefore, Cheng Shijie decided to borrow Fan Yongdou's urgent need for food to find a place where the naval division of the Ning Navy could brush up on his combat exploits.

This place was the twin cities of Nurgandus, later known as Ussuriysk, which was the hub city connecting the two strategic locations of Buri and Vladivostok. Shuangchengzi is located between the Sikhote Mountains, the Changbai Mountains and Xingkai Lake.

It is adjacent to Dongning in the west and 100 kilometers away from Vladivostok in the south.

Shuangchengwei is the confluence of the Suifen River, the Rakovga River, and the Suputiga River. The so-called twin cities mean that the eastern city is called "Fuldan" and the western city is called "Zhuergen", which are about four miles apart. Shuangchengzi is an early city in Northeast China, in the middle of the ninth century, the land of Shuangchengzi was an important town of the Bohai Kingdom, and Yu Lou lived here.

Although it is located in the northeast, it is located in Xingkai Lake, which was called Meituo Lake in the Tang Dynasty in the Tang Dynasty, and is famous for its abundance of "Meituo's crucian carp"; Because the lake is shaped like "Yueqin", it is called "Beiqin Sea" in the Jin Dynasty.

Fan Yongdou looked at Xie Jinglin holding the map, pointed to Shuangchengwei and said: "Our marshal is worried that he will be impeached by the ministers of the DPRK and China when he is trading in southern Liaoning......"

Without waiting for Xie Jinglin to finish speaking, Fan Yongdou smiled and said: "Xie Da shopkeeper, you don't have to worry about this, Fan Mou also has three points of thin noodles in the land of Sanjin, and our colleagues in Jindi will also watch and help each other, I have become friends with Cheng Dashuai, friends are in trouble, we will definitely not stand idly by!" ”

"In addition to being able to do it secretly, there is another role!"

Xie Jinglin pointed to the crooked river and said with a smile: "Fan Da shopkeeper should be clear, we are in business, business business, naturally everything is based on interests, Fan Da shopkeeper can know, obviously Jinzhou is only one hundred and fifty miles away from Lushun, why Lushun has Lushun Port, we Jinzhou also have Jinzhou West Port and Jingang East Port, and Gaizhou West Port, Fuzhou East Port, and Haizhou Port in Gaizhou?" ”

"For the benefit of water transport?"

"That's right!"

Xie Jinglin said with a smile: "Two thousand stone grain, but it needs to use at least one hundred and fifty carts, at least three hundred people, and it takes three days to transport it from Lushun to Jinzhou, but these two thousand stone grain only needs a sea ship of four hundred materials, which can transport grain, however, only thirty-seven soldiers are needed to control this ship of four hundred materials." Now you get it, right? ”

Fan Yongdou thought to himself, almost all the generals of the Ming Dynasty used the soldiers as slaves, and the kind-hearted generals could also give the soldiers a little military pay or food, Cheng Shijie was indeed good, and the officers and men of the Ning Navy had good food and enough food, so these soldiers had been working for Cheng Shijie for free.

Fan Yongdou's entourage has been inquiring about every move in southern Liaoning, he has been in southern Liaoning for almost a month now, and Cheng Shijie has never paid military salaries to military households, but only distributed food to ensure that the soldiers will not starve to death.

"Shopkeeper Fan, look at these twin cities, although it was originally the homeland of the Jianzhou Jurchens, but now there are still a few Jurchens near the twin cities?"

"Not much, indeed!"

Xie Jinglin said with a smile: "Our handsome can start the grain from Jinzhou, all the way along the sea, to the mouth of the Suifen River, after arriving at the mouth of the sea, along the Suifen River into the Meituo Lake, after entering the Meituo Lake, we set up three towns on the north shore of the Meituo Lake, the east bank, and the west bank of the Meituo Lake, respectively, Donghu Town, Xihu Town and Beihu Town, out of the town, this is the territory of the Jurchens, and the task of Ling has been completed, you just wait in Shuangchengwei to collect the money!" ”

"This problem, Fan is just a businessman, I'm afraid that he is powerless!"

"Shopkeeper Fan, you can definitely do it!"

Xie Jinglin said with a smile: "If you can't do it, not only will it be difficult for these grains to be transported to the Jianzhou Jurchens, but you need to bear the freight yourself!" ”

When Fan Yongdou heard this, he silently calculated in his heart, because the northern part of the Ming Dynasty was also affected, and the canal was in disrepair for many years, many places were silted up, and the transportation capacity was greatly reduced. Now the price of grain in the south of the Yangtze River has risen to almost seven cents of silver per stone, and the value of grain in the north is as high as one stone and two cents of silver.

Under such circumstances, even if the price of grain will be reduced after the autumn, the rise in grain prices is an inevitable trend, and Xie Jinglin and Fan Yongdou negotiated on the issue of grain prices for more than half a month, and finally settled the grain prices.

At the price of one tael of silver per stone of grain, it will be sold to Fan Yongdou 300,000 stone grain, and if Fan Yongdou hires people to transport it, it will require at least nearly 40,000 carts and 890,000 young and strong people.

In addition to the expenses of so many personnel, the costs of transportation, sales and other links, although they will certainly not lose money, they will definitely make a lot of money.

For a big businessman like Fan Yongdou, making less is losing money.

As for Xie Jinglin's so-called reason for taking advantage of water conservancy to reduce transportation costs, Fan Yongdou didn't believe a word, Xie Jinglin thought that he was clever and his words were not leaky, did he really think he was ignorant?

The Meituo Lake Plain is a piece of land of nearly 20 million mu (about 120,000 square kilometers)

Why did the three towns of Meituo Lake set up Hudong, Hubei and Huxi?

This is to defend 20 million acres of land.

Although I understand what Xie Jinglin means, of course this must be what Cheng Shijie meant, Cheng Shijie is addicted to using Tuntian Tun, in fact, Tuntian will make money, everyone understands this.

The crux of the matter is that in the Central Plains and other provinces, there will be countless pairs of eyes and countless mouths staring, waiting to eat meat, and if they don't get a share of the profits from Tuntian, this thing will not be done, and there will be countless people who will drag their feet.

However, it is very good in southern Liaoning, because there are no gentry and landlords to grab meat from Cheng Shijie.

As for the Tuntian in Meituo Lake, as long as Cheng Shijie gets hundreds of thousands of people to go to Tuntian, and when Cheng Shijie's field becomes a mature field, Cheng Shijie doesn't want to get any income from these fields, wouldn't Huang Taiji be a good person?

Of course, Cheng Shijie actually thinks so.

He also wants to eat black and eat black.

He first established five towns along the Meituo Lake, which covers an area of more than 4,500 square kilometers, and like a plum blossom, they are horns of each other.

The warships of these five castles and sailors cooperated to defend, and if Jiannu wanted to take it by force, he would definitely break a few big teeth. Besides, Cheng Shijie will not build an ordinary adobe city wall, but use reinforced concrete to build five castles, and insert a nail behind the Jiannu.

"Fan has some acquaintances over there in Shengjing, and he can help spread the word, but as for whether it will be successful or not, Fan can't guarantee it!"

"So much the best!"

Xie Jinglin said with a smile: "If Sheng Jing's side doesn't agree, forget about it!" ”

"Well, Fan will send a message over there immediately!"

……

The distant Shengjing was also the core of the Later Jin regime.

This year's Shenyang seems to be deserted, in previous years, every season, there will be a large number of Mongolian and Korean merchants gathered in Shenyang, the Mongolians bring cattle, sheep and horses, the Koreans bring high-quality rice, Korean ginseng and timber, the merchants of the Ming Dynasty will also be moved, bring a large amount of grain, cloth, ironware, merchants gather, the grand occasion of abundant goods, is unique in the entire Northeast.

But now, the figure of Korean merchants is almost extinct, and the Han and Mongolian merchants are also much less, giving people a feeling that it is not what it used to be.

Who told God not to bless Daikin?

Obviously won the battle of the Daling River, and immediately could point to Jinzhou, and when the leaping horse Liaohe River, God slapped Jiannu hard.

A sudden blizzard caused Jiannu to lose more than one-third of its cattle and sheep, as well as at least one-fifth of its population, which was more serious than the loss of three battles of the Hunhe River.

Because of the loss of cattle and sheep, and the lack of grain and grass, the entire Dajin Kingdom was filled with a very depressed atmosphere.

At this time, some people even began to complain: "It would be good if we didn't rebel, if we didn't rebel, there would be disaster relief from the Ming Dynasty, so we could survive!" ”

"If you don't oppose the Ming Dynasty, will the court take care of us?"

"How can it be not? Let me tell you, in the seventeenth year of Wanli, Nanzhili was flooded, and the imperial court allocated 400,000 taels of silver for disaster relief......"

"Have you heard?"

"The Ming Dynasty allocated 40 million taels of silver for disaster relief!"

"What forty million taels of silver?"

"Really?"

"You look at this?"

Saying that, someone took out a Wanli Di banknote, only to see that it was written: "Since September, the drought has become a disaster, Taihu Lake, Poyang and other lakes have dried up, Wu Song, Zhejiang Lishu has suffered a lot, millions of people have been affected, Yi Zi dismantled the remains and eaten, followed by the epidemic, the Son of Heaven could not bear it, and allocated 40 million taels of money to the disaster victims......"

I don't know when, some rumors about the Daming disaster relief spread in Shenyang.

At first, it was just circulating in the streets and alleys, but soon it spread to every corner of Shenyang City, and then spread to the rear like a plague, and it was out of control in the blink of an eye.

When Huang Taiji received the news, he was shocked and angry: "Who is spreading rumors?" Disturb my people? Check it for King Ben Khan, investigate thoroughly, and must investigate thoroughly! ”

The so-called rumors stop at the wise, in fact, this rumor, but anyone with some insight will not believe it, the highest financial income of the Ming Dynasty is the 30th year of Wanli, (1602 AD), with a total income of 22.953 million taels.

Except for the 30th year of Wanli, the rest of the time was about 20 million taels of silver. Under such circumstances, how could the imperial court come up with 40 million taels of silver for disaster relief?

But the problem is that many people swear that they have seen the imperial court's banknotes with their own eyes, which are stamped with official seals, and they don't look like forgeries.

This made Huang Taiji feel that someone must be trying to smash the pot of Dajin.

During this time, Huang Taiji was very embarrassed by this rumor, first of all, he was not Nurhachi, although he broke through the second year of Chongzhen and entered the Kou Jing Division, which made Dajin's reputation increase rapidly.

In the second year of Chongzhen, the Ming Dynasty lost more than 10 million taels of silver, although the silver captured by Jiannu was a lot, but the problem was that these silvers were concealed layer by layer, and less than four million taels of silver were received from Huang Taiji.

In all fairness, these Qian Huang Taiji were not used to squander, but to expand the elite white-armored soldiers, and the white-armored soldiers were nearly tripled, and the money was spent more.

He spent a lot of silver to buy grain, but those despicable merchants raised the price of grain more than ten times, dozens of times, and he spent two million taels of silver to buy less than 30,000 stone of grain in total......

The average grain per stone is more than 70 taels of silver.

This grain is undoubtedly a drop in the bucket for Dajin Guo.

Just when the rumors were spreading more and more widely and the people's grievances were boiling, Fan Wencheng walked into Huang Taiji's imperial study with a small note and walked into Huang Taiji's imperial study with his feet in the wind, and quickly knelt down and said: "King Khan, great joy, great joy!" ”

Huang Taiji said impatiently: "Where does the joy come from?" ”

Fan Wencheng couldn't hide the smile on his face and said, "Great joy, really great joy!" The Fan family has already purchased 300,000 stone of grain from southern Liaoning according to the calculation, and it will be delivered in more than a month at most! ”
