“Building a medical school?”
Looking at Ji Shu in front of him, Sun Ce smiled a little.
Sun Ce only knew private schools. Private schools naturally teach and educate people, but they also teach the theories of various schools of thought. After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, they only taught Confucianism.
Although there are medical books handed down from generation to generation, medical skills are just a miscellaneous subject in the eyes of scholars, and few scholars will delve into it.
Medical skill is more appropriately said to be a craft than a knowledge.
Since ancient times, doctors have always had one master and three or two disciples to pass on, but Ji Shu actually wanted to develop medical skills as a school.
This is not the first time Ji Shu has come up with some weird ideas, and Sun Ce is not surprised.
"Zi Yuan, if we recruit students for free as you said, the expenses of this medical school will be quite large."
"So I'm not here to discuss this with you, big brother?"
Ji Shu sat on the seat next to Sun Ce and poured Sun Ce a cup of tea.
Sun Ce took the tea and drank it in one gulp, staring into Ji Shu's eyes and asked.
"Although Jiangdong's finances are still abundant, this is the war period. If we spend too much money, I'm afraid Zhang Hong will be so angry that he will come from Jianye to settle the score with me! Why did you suddenly mention establishing a medical school?"
"I just went to see the wounded soldiers' camp."
Ji Shu sighed softly. This was not the first time Ji Shu had done this to reward soldiers and care for the wounded, but the scene he just saw still made him feel sad.
"It's too awful!"
Sun Ce also fell silent. Although he won this battle, it was also the largest casualty of the army since he succeeded as lord. He also visited the wounded barracks. It was not difficult to imagine Ji Shu's mood. He poured a cup of tea for Ji Shu.
Ji Shu raised his head to meet Sun Ce's eyes and said in a deep voice.
"At that time, I couldn't help but think, if only we had more doctors!"
"The world is constantly at war, and people are dying every day! Not only do we lack troops who can pacify the world, we also lack doctors who can treat illnesses and save lives."
"And this is by no means meaningless. If we have more doctors, we can save more soldiers. You see, for example, if we can save hundreds more people in each battle, then the number of soldiers saved in one battle will be thousands. Maybe these few thousand troops will be..."
Sun Ce waved his hand to stop Ji Shu. He did not expect that Ji Shu's original intention of establishing a medical school was this. He also visited the wounded soldiers, but Ji Shu went further than he thought.
With a smile on his lips, Sun Ce spoke.
"Okay, needless to say, the soldiers risked their lives to fight for me, and I will never shirk the responsibility for what I can do for them. Just go ahead and spend the money where it should be spent. Zhang Hong is here, and I will take care of it."
Ji Shu couldn't help but punch Sun Ce on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"This is my good big brother!"
"But you don't have to worry. In the early stage, I plan to do a pilot project in Jiangxia, and recruit the doctors trained by the medical school to serve as military doctors in the army, or set up a local medical clinic affiliated with the government to diagnose diseases for the people. Let's see. Effectiveness and benefits.”
"So the cost will not be very high in the early stage. Once the results are achieved, it will be promoted to the entire Jiangdong. Zhang Hong will definitely not object. If private medical clinics can make some profits, maybe the medical school can also do so later. Self-sufficient.”
Sun Ce nodded and felt a little relieved. The operation of the entire Jiangdong requires money in all aspects. Sun Ce knew that Zhang Hong, who was in charge of finance, was under great pressure.
After all, other princes imposed exorbitant taxes after their rule, but as soon as Sun Ce came to power, he issued the "One Tax Law" to simplify and reduce taxes. If it hadn't been for the confiscation of the rebellious family's property and the support of the father-in-law's Qiao family, Jiangdong Army's drastic new policies and large-scale armament rectification would have drained the national treasury long ago.
"By the way, what's going on with the captives? There are ten thousand captives in total. I'm hungry for them."
Ji Shu smiled, fighting depends on people. The princes are not greedy, after all, not everyone can pull out an army of hundreds of thousands like Yuan Shao.
"I leave this matter to Su Fei. He is Huang Zu's old subordinate. He has been in Jiangxia for a long time, and there is no one more convincing than him in terms of identity. In just two or three days, there have been 3 Thousands of people are willing to surrender to Jiangdong to serve our army."
Upon hearing this name, Sun Ce teased a little naughtily.
"It's that 'Su Fei' who pretended to surrender. He almost killed you! That's you, you still dare to reuse him! If I had chopped him up in Jiangxia at that time."
At this point, Ji Shu felt helpless.
"He is just loyal to the emperor. Besides, what can he do if his family is held hostage? I don't blame him for this. I was too careless and did not see through Zhuge Liang's plan. Brother Gan trusts him so much, I just believe It’s just Brother Gan.”
"Xingba? Haha, you are still soft-eared."
"Aren't you soft?"
Ji Shu rolled his eyes at Sun Ce.
Sun Ce was furious.
"Where am I weak?!"
"When it's time to be tough, I've always been decisive."
"If it weren't for you, the murderous aura in me would be much higher than it is now, and even Gongjin wouldn't be able to stop me."
The argument came up for some reason, and the two looked at each other and started laughing.
Ji Shu poured Sun Ce another cup of tea and asked.
"Speaking of which, why haven't you seen your second brother these days?"
Sun Ce was confused after drinking tea.
"I don't know very well. I just know that he has summoned many people mysteriously in the past few days. I sent someone to ask him to just say that he is busy. If there is anything, let the two of us discuss it and solve it."
Ji Shu shrugged.
"Whatever, he probably wants to give us a surprise! When he is done, he will be the first to report to you."
Sun Ce also said relieved.
"good!"
"We are going too far now. Tell Su Fei to do his best. If we can capture all these 10,000 prisoners, I will promote him to the position of commander, and let the past be forgotten."
"After all, you all have such a big belly. As the master, I can't be too small."
Ji Shu laughed.
"In this case, I will first thank the lord for Su Fei!"
After laughing, Ji Shu said seriously again.
"Although this Jiangxia battle was difficult, the rebellion of Su Fei and the family also reminded me. I want to tell you in detail here so that you can have an idea."
Seeing Sun Ce nodding and looking attentive, Ji Shu continued.
"We Jiangdong have long established a core with you as the center, and our dreams and pursuits have long been connected with you."
"But it will be different in the future!"
"Our territory will become larger and larger, and there will be more and more people. There will be people who agree with us and people who don't."
"Like Su Fei, he doesn't have much ideals and ambitions. In his eyes, his wife and children are the most important. In the future, there will be many different people joining us, those who are greedy for power, those who are greedy for small profits, those who value reputation. People who have no choice but to surrender.”
"Not everyone will have lofty goals, but the future Great Chu cannot be run by just a few of us. Even if there are talents with other ideas, we still need them."
"My advice to you here is to 'seek common ground while reserving differences'. First of all, you need to set a big framework and let everyone know the bottom lines that you cannot violate. As long as they abide by them, you don't have to deliberately exclude them, and you will be rewarded for their merit. , you will be punished if you have done something wrong. But the core of Da Chu must be those who are loyal to the country and can make Da Chu move forward. How to divide it? As a king, you must have a steelyard in your heart!"
"As for the Jiangxia family, I promised them that as long as they abide by the "One Tax Law" and "Qi Min Law", we will give them some compensation."
"It's better to block than to open up! This is not the first time we have seen the important influence of aristocratic families. Instead of going against the world's aristocratic families, it is better to find ways to make them work for us."
"Taking this opportunity, we just follow the example of Jiangxia Family and exchange compensation for the family's sincere support."
Previously, Sun Ce was happy after hearing Ji Shu's words and felt his heart suddenly brighten up. But when he heard the aristocratic family here, he looked at Ji Shu speechlessly. He couldn't tell whether Ji Shu was serious or joking.
"Are you going to spend money again? Ziyuan, I'm afraid Zhang Hong won't come to me after hearing this, and will just go and tear you apart!"
Ji Shuyin smiled.
"Don't worry, I already have some ideas. Not only do I want to tie the family to our chariot, but I also want him to become a cog in this chariot. But I'm not very good at government affairs, so you have to call Zhang Zhao to take charge. I assist him."
Sun Ce also looked at Ji Shu with squinting eyes and a sinister smile, stretched out his finger and said.
"As expected, you are the most cunning one!"
After discussing for a long time, Ji Shu finally walked out of Sun Ce's study and prepared to go home.
"Military advisor, someone is looking for you outside the prefect's mansion."
No soldier dared to go in and disturb Sun Ce and Ji Shu's discussion. They had been waiting here for a long time.
"He said he was the steward of the Luoyang Palace."
Ji Shu was stunned for a moment, then his eyes lit up and he said anxiously.
"Where is it? Quick, lead me the way!"
After passing through two courtyards, Ji Shu finally saw the old man waiting at the door. Isn't he the old housekeeper of Situ Mansion?
"Uncle Ren, it turns out you are still alive! My sister will be extremely happy if she finds out!"
······
At the same time, Jiangxia Huang Mansion.
"Dad, why did you ask me to go home? There are still many repairs in the city waiting for me to arrange."
Huang Yueying walked into the study and saw not Huang Chengyan, but a young scholar.
Huang Yueying was shocked and said.
"Brother Zhuge, why are you here!"
