First of all, medical equipment is very rare. It is impossible for Li Zhao to buy it unlimitedly from the system store. It is not realistic at all. He does not have that much money. Even if he can buy it, what about electricity?
You must know that electricity has not yet appeared in Daqin. These medical equipment are all electrical appliances. Without electricity, they are just a pile of scrap metal. To have electricity, you need a power station. With a power station, you also need wires, transformers, etc. These They all require endless financial resources and energy to possess, and they also require endless time.
Thankless effort.
Moreover, the Qin Dynasty was still in the era of men farming and women weaving, and there was no concept of industrial revolution. The emergence of electricity was the third industrial revolution, which was even more unrealistic. It had not yet entered the first and second industrial revolutions, but directly entered the third industrial revolution. This is a bit nonsense.
Unknowingly, the voice from my heart came out naturally:
[This Qin Shihuang is really making things difficult for me. Doesn’t he want me to open a modern medical clinic? 】
A modern medical clinic?
Ying Zheng was slightly startled when he heard this. What does 'modernization' mean? He didn't understand, but he couldn't help his smile: Haha! This boy's words are endless, similar to Cangjie's!
[Opening a medical clinic requires electricity. How do you get electricity? 】
electricity?
What is electricity?
Thunder and lightning? Does opening a medical clinic also require lightning?
Ying Zheng's eyebrows relaxed.
Indeed, it would be difficult for him to open a modern medical clinic that requires thunder and lightning. He can estimate the number of lightning flashes in a year.
It would be a bit useless if a medical clinic needs thunder and lightning to treat people.
Just as he was about to speak without forcing Li Zhao, Li Zhao's inner voice came out again.
[Of course, it is possible to open a power plant to generate electricity, but it requires too much money and is not cost-effective at all. And I am so poor that I can’t afford it! 】
There are many types of power generation, such as hydropower, wind power, solar power, nuclear power, etc. These power generation all require generators. Generators can be purchased from department stores, as can transformers, but what about wires? What about the technicians?
When electricity appeared, it was a revolution. It was bound to be popular and many people used it. For example, in the past life, in the 1970s, although electricity became popular, its penetration rate was very low. Some backward rural areas could not use it at all. But after the 1980s, the usage rate increased rapidly, and the national penetration rate reached almost 90%. This means that the number of households using electricity soared exponentially in the past ten years, which shows the popularity of electricity.
He believes that if sustainable electricity appears in Daqin at a reasonable price, it will be popularized on a large scale. By then, wires, electricians, power plants, etc. will appear on a large scale.
When these things reach a certain amount, the supply in all aspects will surge exponentially. This is a big project, and it is not enough to just buy it from the system.
This requires the appearance of the iron smelter chief, professional and technical training and other aspects, which he currently does not have the energy to take care of.
Of course, the most important thing is poverty. The siege of the rebel army has stagnated Chang'an Township's industry, and there is not much income. In addition, he continues to buy from department stores, and he can no longer make ends meet.
The only things that make a lot of money in Chang'an Township are paper and books, as well as the food supplies some time ago. However, with the upgrade of the department store, the prices of the items inside have also skyrocketed. The medical equipment purchased by Jiu Yinman only cost half of it. Family wealth, if he develops a power plant, won't he be bankrupted?
Ying Zheng didn't know that he had so many concerns, but when he heard that building a power plant could generate electricity, his heart that had just given up was lightened up again.
I thought: If I open a power plant, I can generate electricity. The electricity will be like thunder and lightning in the sky! In other words, this is feasible and does not require rain.
This is a major discovery, as long as it is not limited by natural conditions.
Such medical skills can almost bring people back to life. He would be really sorry for Da Qin if he didn't open it. He had to let Li Zhao open it. As for being poor!
hey-hey! Will Li Zhao be poor? Impossible. You can make a lot of money from just one piece of food. That guy is crying about poverty all day long. How hypocritical!
Just when he was about to force Li Zhao to build a power plant, his voice came again.
[No, we cannot build power plants. Putting aside the issue of money, historical development does not allow it. The first and second industrial revolutions have not yet begun. How can we jump directly to the third industrial revolution? Absolutely not. 】
Ying Zheng was confused again when he heard this. Is there a first, second or third industrial revolution?
What is the Industrial Revolution?
He didn't understand it at all, but he wasn't attached to it either. These things must have been words in Li Zhao's foreknowledge! As long as Li Zhao understands it, it will be fine. If he understands it, he can open a modern medical clinic to benefit the people, the Qin Dynasty will prosper, and his status as emperor will be passed down through the ages. This is what every emperor dreams of. Now that he has the opportunity, he must seize it. .
Of course, even if Li Zhao refuses, he has to force him to agree. No, forcing seems a bit violent. He can use more gentle methods, such as his daughter Yin Man.
This kid and Yin Man have skin-to-skin contact, so it's time to ask him to take responsibility.
Looking at Qin Shihuang's unkind eyes, Li Zhao didn't dare to think any more and quickly responded to what he just said, "That's it. It's my responsibility to lead some people to become rich."
"Okay." Li Zhao was interrupted by Ying Zheng before he finished speaking. His tone became particularly tough, and his face quickly straightened up like a June day. "I won't beat around the bush with you anymore. Your miraculous medical skills must be popularized. You are not allowed to hide it, this is my will."
The conversation changed and became softer again, "Of course, I heard that you did something shameful to Yin Man. As a dignified man, you should be responsible."
Hearing the previous sentence, Li Zhao's heart tightened, but when the next sentence appeared, he immediately became more powerful.
Be responsible for Yin Man, okay! He is willing to take responsibility. Yes, as a dignified man, he has to be responsible for Yin Man. He has this sense of responsibility, not to mention that he really looked at Yin Man. Although he had no choice but to look at Yin Man anyway, he has to be responsible. This is The benefits of feudal society.
He likes to hear this.
"But, do I have a condition?" Ying Zheng's attitude became tough again.
It’s really June, it’s the right time to change.
"Before you take responsibility for the Yin Man, you must first popularize your magical medical skills."
ah!
Li Zhao hates the cold. This is a disguised form of asking him to generate electricity and build a power plant. This is a disguised form of making him miserable and draining his family wealth.
"Can I take responsibility for Yinman first?"
Said carefully.
"Of course not." Ying Zheng refused directly, but also relaxed, "No! I will make an exception and exempt you from taxes for three years."
Suppression of business is about to be banned. Although Li Zhao is a court official, he is a real businessman. Doing business requires paying taxes. According to Li Zhao's family business, he is tax-free for three years, which is not an ordinary amount. This is also his indirect influence on Li Zhao. support.
This was an imperial edict, and Li Zhao couldn't refuse it. Of course, he wouldn't refuse either. Yin Man could block the sword for him, and he could give everything for Yin Man.
"I accept the decree!"
Ying Zheng smiled slightly and looked at Li Zhao with more kindness.
Since today's topic, he has acquiesced in this prospective son-in-law.
"Also, your duties in the imperial court have been handed over to Zhang Han. Without my order, you must not have any contact with the army. Naturally, the courtiers are also not allowed to have close contact."
Ying Zheng emphasized again and again.
Li Zhao understood and had no complaints.
The emperor made this decree a few days ago. Although he seemed fine on the surface, he was still a little dissatisfied in his heart. But after today's conversation, his dissatisfaction disappeared.
Since the unification of the Qin Dynasty, it has adopted a policy of suppressing business. The status of merchants is very low. But from today's conversation, he learned a piece of information, which is to ban suppression of business. This means that suppression of business will most likely be banned in these days. When suppression of business is banned, business will surely flourish.
This is proven by examples. Before unification, the seven countries traded trade, and commerce was once extremely prosperous. After commerce was suppressed, commerce declined even more. This is the drawback of suppressing commerce. It is necessary to ban it now, and I believe it will not happen. The powerful dare to oppose, even if it touches the interests of the powerful.
When the ban on suppressing business is eliminated, there will definitely be more officials doing business.
It was not a good thing for the court for officials to do business. Perhaps Qin Shihuang thought of this and deprived him of all official duties and made him a businessman through and through.
He was sure that soon after the suppression of business, officials would issue an order prohibiting business.
Among scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, merchants had the lowest status. Since Qin Shihuang recognized him as his son-in-law, why did he still let him do business? It was not difficult for Li Zhao to guess.
After experiencing the devastation caused by wealthy businessmen to the people and the country, perhaps Qin Shihuang has realized the importance of commercialization. If the business of Qin Dynasty is to be fully developed, the leader Qin Shihuang hopes must be him.
In other words, Qin Shihuang deprived him of his position in order to enable him to do business well and lead the Qin Dynasty to become rich.
This was Ying Zheng's expectation of him and the task given to him. Emperor Ming did not abandon him, but just transferred the task.
"Li Zhao accepts the order!" Li Zhao became serious, cupped his hands, and continued, "However, I need your Majesty to make it convenient for you to return the iron smelting workshop to me."
To build a modern medical center, it is necessary to generate electricity, and generating electricity requires so much metal that it is impossible without an iron smelting workshop.
But there are also guarantees.
"Without His Majesty's will, I will never make weapons again." This was Qin Shihuang's concern. He had to let Qin Shihuang put aside this concern so that he could handle things well. "At the same time, I hope that Your Majesty will give me some craftsmen."
This also means automatically asking Qin Shihuang to send people to supervise.
Ying Zheng thought for a while, waved his hand and said, "Okay, I will allow you to count some craftsmen tomorrow."
Da Qin has an iron smelting workshop, so it is not difficult to send some people there.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Zhao thanked him.
Ying Zheng nodded. He seemed to have thought of something, and then said: "Xiao He is the first in the imperial examination, and he should serve the court. He will be summoned to the court the next day. Don't complain, I really don't have anyone!"
"I heard that his job is in business, which is good."
"Of course it's good!" Li Zhao agreed. When Xiao He took the first place, he knew that Xiao He had not stayed in Chang'an Township for a short time. Now that His Majesty mentioned it, it was considered enough time.
But when I heard the last two words, 'Very good', I felt relieved. It was obvious that Xiao He's future position was likely to be related to business, which was a position similar to modern industrial and commercial management.
This is good news.
Xiao He is from Chang'an Township and manages business! Providing convenience for him is inevitable, and this must be the convenience provided by the emperor!
It can be seen how much Qin Shihuang expected of him.
In fact, among the powerful officials in the dynasty, only Xiao He had such ability. It was natural for Qin Shihuang to think so.
"That Shen, although people are arrogant, they are rare talents. You can make good use of them."
Li Zhao nodded. Mr. Shen has been in Chang'an Township for some time. Judging from his performance, he is indeed outstanding. Especially his research on the Second Book is more persistent than Xiao He. In time, this son will definitely become a genius.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for reminding me."
Li Zhao bowed his hands in thanks, and seeing Qin Shihuang waving his hands, he knew what he meant, and said, "I leave."
"Yeah!" Ying Zheng nodded, but said something, "I heard that you and Yin Man have an agreement, now it's time to do it!"
Li Zhao understood Qin Shihuang's intention, felt happy, thanked him quickly, and ran to the princess palace.
Seeing Yin Man, Li Zhao felt sour in his heart.
Isn't this woman, who would sacrifice everything for a promise, and be passionate and sexual, exactly what he is looking for?
"Yinman!" With Qin Shihuang's promise, he no longer called her 'princess'.
"Li Zhao, you're here." When the two met, Yin Man became reserved and lowered his head, showing a shy look.
"I'm here to fulfill my promise!"
At this moment, the maids in the main hall walked out one after another under Qiu Xiang's wave, and Qiu Xiang also left wisely, leaving only the two of them facing each other.
Li Zhao walked over affectionately.
Yin Man's injury has recovered very well. His face cannot be said to be very rosy at the moment, but it is much more normal. With some care, he will be fully recovered in a few days.
But she was able to stand up and move slightly.
"Don't move, just sit still." Li Zhao saw Yin Man moving and quickly grabbed her hand and asked her to sit down.
It took some time for people who had surgery in the previous life to be discharged from the hospital. That was when the medical conditions were very good. Although he brought modern means, Daqin did not have more equipment and no matching experience in nursing care. Naturally, it could not be done like this. Move around freely for short periods of time.
Yin Man was obedient and sat down slowly, but her jade hand was grabbed, and her heart beat loudly. Li Zhaoke heard her clearly.
Li Zhao gently held her chin and slowly raised her head. Their eyes met, and the atmosphere was once warm.
"Why are you so stupid! You shouldn't be!" He looked at Keren'er heartbrokenly, with warmth flowing in his heart.
Yin Man stared intently, her shy face flushed, but she no longer lowered her head, as if she wanted to take a good look at this person, a person who was throbbing from the bottom of his heart.
"When I think about you being in danger, I can't care so much."
Although these words were short, they expressed her concern. Li Zhao felt sad and held her hand tightly, his eyes filled with unprecedented tenderness.
No, it happened before, that was in a previous life.
"Are you not allowed to know like this in the future?" He gently touched her head.
Yin Man twists and turns, smiles coquettishly, that smile is so touching.
Li Zhao's heart palpitated when he saw it, and he couldn't help but wrap his arms around her and hold her in his arms.
He wanted to use his embrace to soften the woman who had given everything to him, so that she would no longer be afraid, so that she could cherish herself.
"As long as you don't take any more risks, Yin Man will do it."
Li Zhao was moved, and a warm current surged into his heart, but there was a trace of sadness hidden in his heart.
Xiaobai in the previous life also said such words, but left him forever that time. The Keren in front of him also said the same words and almost left for him.
He felt deeply guilty.
Why are the women he loves hurt because of him, but he can't protect them properly?
Xiaobai is like this, Yinman is like this.
Is this God playing a trick on him?
