“If you don’t make decisions for the people as an official, it’s better to go home and farm.
No matter how big or small the official position is, officials must be responsible to the people!
"Being an official means doing what you want to do." There is an old saying: "There is no intention higher than caring for the people, and nothing to do more than happy people."....
"
What Zhu Youjian said in the court about how to be an official was quickly spread through newspapers, Jin Yiwei and other channels.
Although many local officials had the urge to scold their mothers, they had no choice but to applaud and praise His Majesty's wisdom and martial prowess.
Even Yan Shenggong, who had always been at odds with Zhu Youjian before, personally sent a message to flatter Zhu Youjian.
However, Zhu Youjian did not hesitate and quickly issued a number of reform orders.
For example, during the clan reform, Zhu Youjian directly abolished the previous clan law and cut off the salaries of all clans.
However, Zhu Youjian gave each member of the royal family a subsidy of ten taels of silver and kindly introduced them to jobs. They were also warned not to use their royal identities at work. Otherwise, they will be removed from the ancestral temple directly.
In this way, a huge package for the imperial court was finally solved.
In the past, there would definitely be a lot of trouble, but now most people believe that Zhu Youjian is the destined emperor who descended from the purple star to earth. Who dares to object?
Moreover, Zhu Youjian's move was not without benefits to those clans.
You know, the current Ming Dynasty adopts a pig-raising style of management for other members of the royal family.
Those who have family businesses are fine, at least they have enough food and clothing.
But the lowest level of the royal family lived a very miserable life. They could only live on the salary from the court, which resulted in many people having to go hungry.
Although Zhu Youjian cut off their salaries, he allowed them to freely choose their careers. They were even allowed to serve as officials.
In this way, as long as you are not hopelessly lazy, you will definitely be better off than before.
If you are really hopelessly lazy, then there is no need to save him!
In addition to clan reform, Zhu Youjian planned to reform the Ming Dynasty's medical system.
The so-called reform is not to forcefully open schools and let experienced and famous doctors (doctors) serve as teachers.
Instead, they chose to let Tai Hospital take the lead and hold medical competitions regularly in various places.
The court will send special personnel to escort the participating doctors.
They will also be allowed to visit hospitals built by the state.
If they want, they can choose their favorite apprentice directly in the hospital.
It is true that an important reason for the decline of traditional Chinese medicine in later generations is that everyone cherishes their own medicine. Not willing to share it.
But Zhu Youjian was in later generations. At any rate, I followed a Chinese medicine practitioner for a few years.
Although he didn’t become famous, after getting along for a long time, he naturally had a certain understanding of Chinese medicine.
We also understand that the real reason for the decline of traditional Chinese medicine in later generations lies in policy.
Traditional Chinese medicine is not Western medicine. After a few years of studying, you can determine what kind of disease it is based on several symptoms and a laboratory test sheet.
Every other line is like a mountain, and your own opinion may be a disaster for this industry.
.....
Why do many Chinese medicine practitioners in later generations rarely have particularly famous Chinese medicine practitioners?
In Zhu Youjian's opinion, it is because he has not found the right rules for training traditional Chinese medicine.
Many Chinese medicine apprentices started learning from the basics bit by bit with their masters when they were very young.
Although this is time-consuming, you can really learn something.
After all, many things cannot be understood with just one mouthful.
Let’s take the most basic inspection of traditional Chinese medicine, which involves looking, smelling, asking, and seeing.
"Inspection" is to observe the changes in the patient's expression, color, shape and state.
"Shen" refers to the spirit and state of spirit;
"Color" is the expression of the external prosperity and decline of the five internal organs, qi and blood;
"Shape" is a sign of a rich and weak body;
"Status" is a dynamic, flexible and sluggish expression.
Inspection is to observe the patient's face, mouth, nose, teeth, tongue and coating, limbs, and skin to understand the patient's "spirit".
If you want to learn how to do medical diagnosis well, you need a large number of cases, and you need students to see and investigate them. Is this something that can be learned in just a few years in school?
Opening a hospital would be much better.
In this way, we can increase the communication between doctors and improve their medical skills.
It is convenient for the good doctor to choose his favorite apprentice.
Come three...
Coupled with the frequent competitions, the development of traditional Chinese medicine can be greatly accelerated.
And this also has the advantage of reducing the risk of pregnancy for pregnant women.
According to the intelligence of the secret guards, many women in the Ming Dynasty now have children, which is like going through the gate of hell.
The reasons are mainly divided into two aspects.
One is that the pregnant woman is too young, and the other is that the medical conditions are insufficient.
Many poor families simply cannot afford to hire a doctor, and they cannot even guarantee the nutrition of pregnant women. Many people even only hire a nurse when delivering a baby, which greatly increases the risk to pregnant women.
In this regard, Zhu Youjian also thought of a way, that is, to directly legislate marriage under the age of 18 as a crime.
If a child under 18 becomes pregnant, he or she will face heavy penalties.
At the same time, we publicize to the people the dangers of giving birth to pregnant women at a young age.
For those pregnant women, the court would subsidize half a catty of grain every day.
At the same time, expectant mothers are forced to enter the hospital. (About half a month before the due date)
During this period, all expenses will be paid by the court.
At the same time, the court will provide corresponding food.
Family members only need someone to accompany them.
The hospital is equipped with stables and a large amount of corresponding supplies.
Near the hospital, there will be residences for doctors and women. It not only makes it convenient for doctors to take a rest, but also makes it easier to find a doctor.
.....
In addition to corresponding medical reforms, Zhu Youjian directly promulgated laws to nationalize land ownership.
At the same time, he promised that the court would not forcefully seize the people's land.
But the same regulations restrict the sale of land. If land is sold, it can only be sold to the government
In terms of agricultural taxes, the imperial tax exemption conditions were abolished.
At the same time, the law stipulates that each person has 3 points of tax-free land.
1-10 acres will be taxed at 20% of the income per mu.
The income from 10 acres to 100 acres is taxed at 30%.
For an area of 100 acres or more, 50% of the income will be taxed. "
As the reform decrees are passed one by one, ordinary people are happy. After all, the court has reduced taxes, how can they not be happy?
But the powerful, landlords and wealthy people complained endlessly.
If it had been left in the past, it would have turned over the table now.
But now I can only bite my nose and admit it!
Who asked His Majesty to descend to earth as a purple star? It's not okay to be soft.
In order to reduce losses, those powerful and wealthy landlords can only disperse the concentrated land in their hands to the names of various family members.
As everyone knows, this move plays into Zhu Youjian's heart.
One of the big reasons why powerful people can be condensed into a rope, and even the court has to pay attention to it, is because the land is concentrated in the hands of the master family.
Zhu Youjian's move forced the main family to distribute the land to the branch families.
Even if it is only in name, as time goes by, who can guarantee that there will be no different intentions after the separation?
Even if those powerful families don't fall apart, it will be difficult for them to stay together.
As long as those powerful people cannot be twisted into a tightrope, they will not be a threat to the imperial court.
