Ten days later.
In the afternoon and dusk, the medical center is close to closing.
Shang Rong came as promised, dressed in splendid clothes, with a rosy and plump complexion, and he walked a little light.
Shen Gongbao was drying medicinal materials in front of the medical center. When he saw Shang Rong walking towards him with a glowing face, he laughed out loud and said, "It seems that he is cured."
"Haha, not only have I recovered, but I have become as fierce as a tiger. The old woman at home, who is as hungry as a wolf, actually begged for mercy." Shang Rong was so angry that he subdued the tigress at home, and he became a lot more confident.
"Doctor, your skills are amazing." Shang Rong admired him very much.
"Doctor, here are the medical fees and medicine money." Shang Rong took out the cloth bag, which was filled with golden beans.
A bag of golden beans is something that ordinary people cannot earn in their lifetime.
Shen Gongbao did not refuse and accepted the consultation fee. "Sir, please sit in the room."
Shang Rong followed Shen Gongbao into the medical center and looked carefully. The medicinal cabinets were arranged in an orderly manner, and the air was filled with the aroma of medicinal materials. It was really a famous medical center.
"Doctor, do you still have the little blue pill from last time?" Shang Rong asked in a low voice.
The corners of Shen Gongbao's mouth raised slightly, "Hey, Prime Minister Shang Rong actually acted like this when he was young? Wasn't ten pills enough before?"
"Sir, you should know that when the moon is full, it waxes and wanes. When it is full, it overflows. You cannot make up for it."
"Doctor misunderstood, I have a friend..."
"Oh, another Friends from Nothing series?"
"Since it's a gift to a friend, that's all."
Shen Gongbao then ordered Longxuhu to pack fifty small blue pills and handed them to Shang Rong.
Shang Rong took the medicine and was not in a hurry to leave. The hospital was closed anyway, so he just chatted with Shen Gongbao.
When it comes to medical theory, we have a lot of fun talking.
From the perspective of medical theory, we talked about the plaques of medical clinics: healing diseases, healing people, and healing the country.
Shang Rong smiled and reminded kindly, "Doctor, I suggest you change the plaque."
Shen Gongbao smiled to himself, "Why do I need to change?"
"It's natural to heal diseases and people with doctor's medical skills, but the last two words "healing the country" are a bit out of place." Shang Rong said kindly.
Shen Gongbao picked up the tea cup and took a sip, "In my view as a doctor, there is no difference between treating the country and treating people."
"What's the explanation?" Shang Rong had great confusion on his face.
How do people compare with countries?
"If a person is sick, he can find the root cause of the disease and prescribe the right medicine. The disease can be cured in just two or three days."
"Then what does this have to do with Medical Nation?"
"What is a person? What is a country? Human beings are individuals, and the country is the whole. If there are no people, how can there be a country?"
"In my opinion, a country is formed by the gathering of the will of all people, and the ruling class only represents the will of all people."
"If a country is sick, we can find out the cause and prescribe the right medicine. Why can't we cure it?"
Shang Rong's face fell into deep thought as he listened to Shen Gongbao's talk on healing people and the country.
Shang Rong is the Prime Minister of Dashang. He is a very human minister, similar to the second-in-command of Dashang. He deals with countless things every day. It is natural to think that problems sometimes arise in Dashang.
"There is a locust plague and flooding somewhere. Does the doctor think you are sick?"
"sick."
"How to treat it?"
"Locust plagues can drive away poultry to eat them. If there is a flood, we must first evacuate the people and control the water by blocking or clearing it. At the same time, the court must provide disaster relief..."
"What if there is a rebellion somewhere?"
"Divide the rebels, recruit a group to show the king's benevolence, kill a group to show the king's majesty, and press the army into the territory. The rebels will be wiped out in an instant."
"Is this how to cure the country's illness?"
"There are thousands of ways to cure a disease, but there is always one that can treat the problem."
Shang Rong looked thoughtful. Hearing his remarks about healing the country today was refreshing and really interesting.
Shang Rong asked again casually: "Does the doctor think my Dashang is still healthy now?"
Shen Gongbao answered truthfully, "I am terminally ill."
Shang Rong had a smile on his face, but when he heard that he was seriously ill, his face changed suddenly, and there was a hint of anger, "Doctor, please be careful what you say!"
Seeing Shang Rong's hidden anger, Shen Gongbao chuckled and nodded, drinking tea peacefully and keeping silent.
Shang Rong calmed down and realized that he had lost his composure.
In fact, his remarks are ridiculous!
Today, King Di Yi is in his prime, the people live and work in peace and contentment, the government is harmonious, the rivers are clear and the sea is flowing, and the times are prosperous!
He even said that Dashang was terminally ill, which was really a disservice to the country!
The medical center became silent, both of them were silent and talking about drinking tea.
Shang Rong knew that Shen Gongbao was a truly capable doctor, so he would definitely not take the wrong aim. Let's hear what he said about Dashang's illness!
"The doctor said he was terminally ill, but all I saw was peace. Why?"
Seeing Shang Rong calm down, Shen Gongbao put down his teacup and asked, "Dead people still have their lives restored, right?"
Shang Ren suppressed his anger, "Doctor, are you saying that the current prosperity of my business is a return to the past?"
"The sunset."
Shang Rong could no longer drink Shen Gongbao's tea, and said coldly: "Please explain it to me sir. If you don't explain me clearly today, I'm afraid your hospital will never be able to open again!"
Shang Rong was devoted to business, how could he tolerate Shen Gongbao slandering the great businessmen like this?
Seeing that Shang Rong's anger was almost aroused, Shen Gongbao waved his sleeves and said loudly: "There are many reasons for terminal illness. Let me summarize three points."
1. Class conflicts intensify.
2. Frequent foreign wars greatly consume national power.
3. The rise of princes.
“Why are class conflicts intensifying?”
"Conflicts between rulers and people intensified."
Shang Rong sneered, "The people of Great Shang live and work in peace and contentment. Is this considered an intensification of conflicts?"
"How can Chaoge alone represent the great merchants? Sir, please don't be deceived by the illusion of Chaoge's prosperity and think that great merchants are everywhere like Chaoge."
Shen Gongbao said, taking out a bag of golden beans that Shang Rong gave him just now, "Sir, how much do you think this bag of golden beans is worth?"
Shang Rong remained silent.
Shen Gongbao took out a golden bean and held it between his fingers, "Just this one requires an ordinary family to work hard for a lifetime."
"And what about the officials of the Great Shang Dynasty? They enjoyed, squeezed, exploited, and gave away the golden beans at will, but they didn't know how many families were living?"
Shang Rong opened his mouth and was about to refute.
Shen Gongbao added: "There are also intensified conflicts within the ruling class, that is, the imperial court, or the king."
"If all the officials and ministers are united, how can there be conflicts?" Shang Rong said stubbornly.
"Oh? Really? Only loyal ministers, no traitors?"
"How long has it been since the Nine Kings Rebellion?"
Shang Rong kept silent. Looking at the court, were there no traitors? there must be!
The Nine Kings Rebellion almost led to the destruction of Great Shang...
"The original intention of the three emperors and five emperors to establish a tribal alliance and build the capital was to make the people live a better life. But today, I can't see it at all. I only feel that the aristocracy is greedy for pleasure."
"This disease is terminal, and there is only one reason."
"In recent years, the great merchants have frequently launched conquests against the surrounding barbarians, resulting in considerable casualties. Strong men were injured or killed in battle. The people's vitality was difficult to recover, and the treasury was empty and unsustainable."
"What will happen when the treasury is empty? Excessive taxation? Will it intensify the conflict with the people again?"
Shang Rong remained silent, what Shen Gongbao said was true.
The great merchants were short of salt and copper. In recent years, they had frequently launched campaigns against the barbarians, and the treasury was already stretched thin.
Shen Gongbao saw the "violent-tempered" Shang Rong and remained silent, and continued: "Dashing is extremely ill internally. At this time, just a little intervention from outside can completely kill Dashang's vitality."
"While the national power of the Great Shang Dynasty continued to weaken, the eight hundred princes in the world became increasingly powerful."
"If the master is weak and the servant is strong, sir, you should know better than me what the consequences will be."
If the master is weak and the servant is strong, the result will be that the evil servant will deceive the master and destroy him.
"Those who destroy Shang are Shang, not the world."
"Think about the worst for a moment. Now that Emperor Yi is on the throne and the country is prosperous and powerful, what if the next generation of monarchs is mediocre?"
"Not to mention comparable to the Holy Lord, he is just a competent and hard-working king."
"Follow the policy of the Great Kingdom, continue foreign wars, continue to consume the national power of the Great Shang, and with the emptiness of the national treasury, levy and expropriate violently, continue to intensify conflicts. At that time, the princes of the world will rise and the Shang will be destroyed in just an instant."
After Shen Gongbao finished speaking, he lowered his head and drank tea.
It can be seen with the naked eye that Shang Rong turned silent from the initial anger, and his body could not help but tremble.
Shang Rong could even imagine the collapse of Great Shang after many years.
After being angry, the effect of believing again is often more profound!
Shang Rong couldn't stop his hands from shaking, "Are we going to be the ministers of the country's subjugation?"
Shen Gongbao drank tea calmly, and first let Shang Rong sigh up to the sky and get excited for a while.
On the side, Longxuhu watched with confusion as Shang Rong cried to the sky. He was very puzzled, "Just like that... I made you cry by the master?"
About half a moment passed.
Shang Rong's sad mood calmed down, and he looked at Shen Gongbao again, as if a drowning man saw a life-saving straw.
"Doctor, since we have seen that Dashang is terminally ill, there must be a cure, right?"
Shen Gongbao smiled calmly, "The superior doctor treats the disease that is not yet sick, the traditional Chinese medicine treats the disease that is about to be sick, and the lower doctor treats the disease that is already sick."
Famous doctors, prevent diseases.
Chinese medicine treats diseases that will occur.
Undertake medical treatment to treat diseases that have already occurred.
Take the rebellion somewhere in Dashang as an example. What if we could detect it in advance and catch the signs of the rebellion before it happened?
"Why do you think I treat you, sir?" Shen Gongbao asked solemnly.
"Sir, you are a famous doctor. Famous doctors can not only prevent diseases, but also cure diseases that will or have already occurred." Shang Rong replied seriously.
"Haha." Shen Gongbao laughed, without agreeing or denying.
"Shen Gongbao, I have met Prime Minister Shang Rong." Shen Gongbao announced his name and saluted.
"Does the doctor know my identity?"
"You will know when you come."
"Gongbao, there are thousands of gaps in his heart. However, he is from a humble background and cannot show his abilities. When he meets Prime Minister Shang Rong, he will inevitably be suspected of showing off. Please atone for your sins, Prime Minister!"
"What's the crime? Sir, I'm worried a lot about my great businessman. I really need a rare talent. Please help me, Mr. Gongbao!" Shang Rong is also a polite and virtuous corporal. He bends down to greet me respectfully.
"The prime minister trusted me, and Gongbao didn't dare to refuse."
"It is indeed a great fortune for a great businessman to have such a talented husband today."
"Just now, Shang Rong believes that Sir has a strategy in his mind. Could you please tell me how to prescribe the right medicine?" Shang Rong asked humbly.
"Gongbao doesn't want to enter the court. Starting today, the medical clinic will be renamed Medical National Clinic. As for the official position and power the prime minister gives Gongbao, it all depends on his orders." As a disciple of Chanjiao, even though Shen Gongbao wanted to support business, he did not Come on now.
Shang Rong said almost without thinking: "First-grade doctor."
In Shang Rong's view, Shen Gongbao has a deep mind and is truly a national scholar!
Treating a national scholar requires treating him with the courtesy of a national scholar, and must not be frivolous.
"Thank you, Prime Minister."
"I don't know, sir, which area do you plan to administer the medicine first?"
Big businessmen, scholars, farmers, industrialists and businessmen, the application of medicine and treatment of diseases was not achieved overnight, but step by step.
"The male leopard has just arrived, but he doesn't dare to ask for help. He wants to start from farming."
"People regard food as their first priority, safety as their priority, safety as their foundation, and quality as their root."
"Sir, it is your opinion that the people value food. If they have enough food, the country will be stable. Only when the country is stable can change be achieved." Shang Rong agreed.
The second day.
Shang Rong reported back to Emperor Yi, the Great King, who decreed that Shen Gongbao be granted the title of a first-class doctor. He would not enter the court, but would open a medical and state clinic to focus on farming and mulberry farming. He could freely deploy farming and mulberry farming personnel.
