Zhu Yuanzhang still remembers that when he was sick when he was a child, he would either carry it or ask the elders in the village for some herbs.
Those who were lucky made it through, but those who were unlucky all died.
His parents died of illness due to hunger and cold.
If it weren't for his married eldest sister, I'm afraid he would have starved to death.
But now, there is such a small clinic in a village. At this moment, there are actually many people in the clinic, including old people and children, who are drinking water.
He saw peace, harmony and prosperity in this immigrant village.
After coming here, he also learned about the situation. Most of the people in the immigrant village were poor people who could not live in the local area.
But after they came here, they had a place to stay, land, and a living that could keep the whole family alive.
If you are sick, you will be treated, if you are hungry, you will have food, and if you are sleepy, you will have a big bed.
What the common people care about is not having enough food and clothing?
Now the children have books to read and the elderly have support.
Is this what Zhu Jun said about the old being supported and the young being supported?
Simply incredible!
He originally thought that the series of measures implemented by Zhu Jun in Fengyang were already terrible, but in Weihaiwei, without the shackles, his methods were even more terrifying and cruel than in Fengyang.
It is true that every move is used in the hearts of the people, and every move makes these people grateful.
If this kind of initiative can be implemented smoothly and operated reasonably, then Zhu Yuanzhang feels that his great cause will reach an unprecedented height.
That will be far better than any other dynasty.
But he still didn't believe in evil, so he said to Zhu Jun: "You are here, let's go to the clinic and see if it is expensive to see a doctor here."
With that said, he strode over.
Wang Gou'er also hurriedly followed him. When he came to Weihai Guard, Wang Gou'er was very honest. He was afraid that he would offend Zhu Jun. This guy really dared to beat him, but he couldn't do anything about him.
The doctor in the clinic is a middle-aged man in his forties, and there are two young nurses in white clothes in the clinic.
At present, the number of female doctors and nurses in the profession is still relatively small, because the concepts of the times, coupled with Zhu Xi's words, have made the public have prejudices against women appearing in public.
Some ladies have begun to bind their feet.
However, in Weihaiwei, this concept does not exist. Zhu Jun makes people publicize the harmful effects of bound feet every day. What he promotes is the concept that women can hold up half the sky.
If you look down on women in Weihaiwei who show their faces and support their families, you will definitely be cast aside.
If you dare to speak nonsense, the Yamen will not let you go.
When the little nurse saw Zhu Yuanzhang, she hurriedly came forward and said, "Old gentleman, are you here to see a doctor or to take medicine?"
"I just immigrated here, and my old wife at home is sick. I want to come here and get some medicine. Is it expensive?" Zhu Yuanzhang deliberately pretended to be cash-strapped.
Hearing this, the little nurse explained: "If you are a new immigrant and have an immigration card, medical treatment will be free within one year. You don't have to worry. As long as we can treat you here, we will try our best to treat you. You don't have to worry about the medical fees.
Moreover, you are not a patient, so you cannot tell the situation. If it is inconvenient for the old lady to go out, you can ask a doctor to come to your home for consultation. Just leave your address and he will be there soon! "
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang was convinced. New immigrants would receive free medical treatment for one year. If it was not convenient for them to come to their homes, they could still have big doctors come to their homes.
Isn't this too thoughtful?
"No, I'll just grab a pair of tonics. The new immigrant card hasn't been issued yet, so I'll pay for it myself." Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hands, as if he was afraid of causing trouble to them.
After a while, Zhu Yuanzhang came out of the clinic with a pair of medicines in his hand.
"How is it?" Zhu Jun asked with a smile.
"Not bad." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded, "We are people who have come through troubled times. We have seen too many life and death. At that time, we killed soldiers. Those who knew a little could still grab herbs, but those who didn't knew could only ask for help.
If you are lucky, you can survive if you ask for a decoction.
Those who are unlucky can only wait to die.
When fleeing famine, many people fell on the road while walking.
Not to mention the village, even in the county, the big doctors will not treat people in order to protect themselves.
Now that things are getting better, these poor people can now be protected even if they get sick! "
Zhu Yuanzhang threw the medicine to Wang Gouer and continued to visit the immigrant village.
He even saw new primary schools in several village centres.
There are tens of thousands of people in these seven or eight immigrant villages, and then they become towns around the newly built primary schools.
Roads extend in all directions and all supplies are available.
The price of rice here is even lower than that in the imperial court.
“Is this the new rural model?”
"Yes, this is the future model. It may not be the best, but it must be the most suitable for the present.
Although the court spent a lot of money in the early stage, there will definitely be gains in the future.
These people are the key to the country's stability. "Zhu Jun said: "Moreover, we must have a conscience. These poor people have been supporting us for thousands of years. What rule says that they must be supported forever?"
Is there no other way out for the court?
I don't believe it, so I have to take a different path.
Give these people another way out. "
Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless. He only knew that everything in front of him was better than words.
Zhu Jun said so and did so.
If someone had told him a few years ago that this could work, he would have beaten that person up.
But now, he had to admit that Zhu Jun's approach was indeed very different.
“You transfer agricultural taxes to commercial taxes, and then increase the country’s income through maritime trade. This is actually a process of filling gaps.
The same goes for corvee service. If you capture those people from the Japanese island country, you are replacing these people in corvée service.
In this way, in the next ten or twenty years, everyone will naturally no longer have to perform corvee service.
But what if these people are dead? "
"Father, do you think the great cause in twenty years will be the same as now?" Zhu Jun said with a smile: "At that time, the great cause unified the world, the country was strong and the people were prosperous, and the court had too much money to spend.
So what if we hire people to work.
Moreover, I have other ways to reduce the court's expenditure and thereby increase the court's income.
Of course, that doesn't apply right now. "
"Don't whet our appetite." Zhu Yuanzhang's heart was scratching like a cat.
Seeing this, Zhu Jun stopped trying to show off and said, "Dad, do you still remember the city north that I renovated in Yingtian?"
Zhu Yuanzhang frowned, "Are you saying that the way to increase the income of the local government and the imperial court lies in the transformation of the north of the city?"
“Yes, Daye’s population will inevitably increase in the future, and when there are more people, they will gather.
Places like Suzhou and other places close to the capital are bound to be expensive.
At that time, land was the most valuable. Zhu Jun said with a smile: "However, I still prefer sea trade!" "
