Gu Dan came to the Xia Dynasty palace again.
This time, he saw two collapsed palaces with his own eyes.
Due to years of disrepair, the once-prominent Wanshou Immortal Palace cannot withstand the power of time. Except for the two palaces that collapsed, most of the other palaces have lost their former glory over the years.
But the strange thing is that no matter the maids, guards or eunuchs walking in the palace, they turned a blind eye to the two collapsed palaces, and no craftsmen were sent to repair them.
While the Xia Dynasty was flourishing, the real palace became more and more dilapidated day after day, and even had safety risks.
Gu Dan found Wang Mang in the imperial study room. Wang Mang was still sitting there reviewing the memorials like mountains, just like before, every day.
This time Gu Dan did not wait silently, but said directly: "When I came, I saw that two palaces in the palace had collapsed. How come no one repaired them?"
"Brother Gu?"
Hearing Gu Dan's voice, Wang Mang put down the memorial in his hand and said with a smile: "It's just two palaces. When he built the Wanshou Immortal Palace, Emperor Zongming was extremely extravagant. It was more than enough for the Xia Dynasty palace, and he couldn't live in it at all. Finished. The two collapsed palaces were of little use.
If it were rebuilt, it would look better at most, but it would still be vacant. I called the craftsmen and asked. If I want to repair it, I need at least a hundred gold. A hundred pounds of gold is equivalent to the property of ten average families. My virtue is not enough. I am always worried about humiliating everyone's expectations. How can I dare to do such a thing? Woolen cloth? "
Gu Dan listened quietly to Wang Mang's story, with a look of appreciation in his eyes.
Wang Mang indeed never let him down.
In the twenty-three years since he succeeded to the throne, Wang Mang has never paid attention to any ostentation. Nothing has been added to his palace, gardens, dogs and horses, clothing, carriages, etc.
Whenever something was inconvenient to the people, it was abolished to facilitate the people. Even if the palace began to fade, collapsed and became an eyesore, no earthwork was used.
If an emperor can do this, it can be said that he does not love the people.
What goes up works down.
Emperor Xia's capital was so simple that naturally the ministers did not dare to enjoy life as much as they wanted. After all, except for Wang Mang, the Mo family was not a vegetarian.
If the Mohist family was the moral benchmark of the Xia Dynasty, then Wang Mang was the benchmark in personal life.
Even if the emperor doesn't enjoy the blessings, which minister would dare to surpass the emperor?
It can be said that Xia Dynasty's development to this day is absolutely indispensable for his efforts.
"You did very well."
Gu Dan praised.
"Brother Gu is here, but what's the matter?"
Wang Mang smiled and nodded, then asked.
Gu Dan is a person who really doesn't go to the Three Treasures Palace for anything. He has always paid little attention to the important affairs of the country, or rather he has allowed them to do things. After so many years since the establishment of the Xia Dynasty, Gu Dan has only come to the palace for the third time.
"I am going to do something, and I need the help of you, many ministers, and even other countries."
Gu Dan said seriously.
"Oh? Please tell me!"
Wang Mang was quite surprised and his expression became serious.
What Gu Dan wanted to do last time was called "divide the land into the land", and now the results are obvious to all, greatly reducing the burden on the people.
If it is not a policy that benefits the country and the people, Gu Dan will not mention it lightly.
What's more, after listening to his words this time, he was ready to take action himself to connect several countries together.
Could it be that what we have to do this time is better than sharing the land?
"I plan to collect medical books from all over the world, recruit traveling doctors with real talents and knowledge from all over the world, and jointly compile a summary book to deal with various diseases. Then I need the help of the imperial court to set up medical clinics in various places to train doctors who can treat diseases and save people. .”
Gu Dan said.
"Compile medical books? Establish a medical clinic?"
Wang Mang was stunned.
This doesn't seem to be a brilliant plan. In other words, there is nothing surprising about this thing, and it doesn't seem worthy of Gu Dan to do it himself.
This is indeed not surprising.
But, it's very useful.
"Now that the Xia Dynasty is no longer in poverty, the issue of medical care must be taken seriously. I have visited the people. If people from all over the country are sick, they rarely go to drugstores to see a doctor. Instead, they use various 'home remedies' Let’s not mention that most of the folk remedies are useless. Once delayed, many diseases will become more serious until they are incurable.
That's not all, even if rich people can go to drug stores for diagnosis and treatment, the quality of the doctors there varies greatly. They have no experience at all in many diseases. They can only treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor. Whether they can cure it all depends on fate.
Most importantly, the person who delivers the baby! Nowadays, "experienced" midwives in the village are still responsible for delivering children. However, their experience in this matter is only based on personal summary. It is about real human life. A complete set of appropriate and detailed information must be given. If the method is promoted, the safety of civilian children at birth will be more guaranteed. "
Gu Dan had already made a mental draft in his mind on the way here, and now he expressed his thoughts directly.
The compilation of medical books and the establishment of medical clinics were neither the first innovation nor a unique idea in ancient times.
But those who did this before had too little energy.
At most, they can only change a small area.
Although the emperors of various countries are not fools, they always have various concerns and reasons and have never implemented this method in the world.
But the burden is different.
If he made up his mind to do it, the entire Xia Dynasty would have to take action, and even countries such as Daqi would have to keep their heads above water and not dare to disobey.
What's more, what he wants is to benefit the people and the country, but it only requires some money from the national treasury. In the end, he will spend the money at home. What is there to resist?
The Grand Master wants to do something good for your people, how dare you have any objections?
"If you just compile medical books, it's not that difficult. It just takes some time."
Wang Mang thought about it seriously, and did not immediately nod in agreement just because the person in front of him was Gu Dan. He thought hard and focused, and then said: "It is difficult to set up medical clinics in various places. Let's not do that for the time being. When it comes to cultivating so many doctors, just talking about the medicinal materials required by each medical clinic is a huge expense.
As Brother Gu said, many people have no money to go to the hospital for medical treatment when they are sick, and they even dare not go to the hospital. Do they have money to go to the medical clinics opened by the state? If you don't collect money, the expense may be unbearable. If you collect money, it seems that in the end it is just a window dressing, but no one cares. "
Treatment costs money.
Therefore, among the people, minor ailments are basically left untreated, and serious ailments are of no use, or cannot be cured.
It is for this reason that there are very few private medical clinics in various places, and most of them are barefoot doctors.
“The biggest expense in medical clinics is actually the medicinal materials.”
Gu Dan himself has worked in Taiyuan Hospital for more than ten years. Although he is just an associate, he also knows the twists and turns, "But in fact, medicinal materials are not as expensive as everyone thinks. The reason why they seem a bit expensive is because Most of the medicinal materials are wild.
As long as those cherished drugs are not used, the vast majority of drugs can be cultivated by oneself. As long as the quantity planted is enough, the cost will naturally continue to decrease. That is why the entire country needs to work hard, instead of like now. Basically, you have to dig the medicinal materials yourself in the mountains, and the cost is naturally not the same. "
Of course, there is such a thing as medicine fields in this era.
But, very rarely.
And they are usually privately owned and used to support the powerful.
If we really want to talk about large-scale medicinal fields, there are none!
After all, medical clinics are actually a public welfare thing. If they charge too much, people will not go to see a doctor at all. If they charge too little, they will not make money, so no one has ever done it.
"What's more, I didn't say that all the medicinal materials are free. Isn't it a good thing for people to spend very little money to treat some diseases that are not serious? And some more precious medicinal materials need to be used, and the people have no money for the time being. During the treatment, they can be asked to write an IOU and repay it over several years.
If it is still not finished or refuses to change when the time comes, then you can ask people to pay for it with work. The construction of the country always requires people. As long as the people are still there, you will not lose anything, but will make people more Have a sense of belonging. "
Gu Dan has already considered this point.
When the most basic food and clothing are satisfied, more things need to be done, which is related to the living standards of a country's citizens.
And it is also really related to the longevity that Gu Dan can get.
Not much else to say, even if he can extend the life of the people of the Xia Dynasty by one or two years through this move, the lifespan he can harvest is huge. Filling up the Qingmu Transformation Technique is not a problem at all!
In this way, we will neither act rashly on national policies, touch the fundamentals, nor attract the attention of immortals, but can also greatly improve people's livelihood.
After all, it is because of the existence of immortals that Gu Dan dare not mention many things. He is afraid that if he exerts too much force, not only will he fail to make the mortal world live a better life, but it will attract attention after the immortals return and lead to catastrophic disasters. This That's why he is so cautious.
It is precisely because the medical clinic is mediocre, it just has more openings, it is not an extraordinary move, but the rewards are huge, which is one of the fundamental reasons why Gu Dan chose it.
"That's it. You can try it. Even if you can't make ends meet, as long as it doesn't bring too much burden, Xia Dynasty can bear it."
Wang Mang still nodded. Success or failure depends on hard work. Gu Dan finally stood up and wanted to do something after so many years. Of course, he couldn't stop him.
"That's one and the other thing."
After saying what he wanted to do, Gu Dan said again: "Lin Fan, do you know about the death of that Mohist?"
"Brother Gu also heard about this?"
"There are a lot of people talking about this among the people. I'm not deaf, so how can I not hear it?"
Gu Dan shrugged, "How are you going to do it?"
"It's about the Mo family. You shouldn't ask me. You have to ask the Imperial Master."
Wang Mang reluctantly avoided the question.
This matter, whether you are nodding or shaking your head, is wrong.
It would be wise to remain silent.
The imperial court also had the same attitude, allowing the people to discuss it however they wanted, but it would not give them permission and allowed everyone to speak freely.
"ha"
Gu Dan laughed and said, "You are all unwilling to mention it."
Wang Mang just blinked his eyes innocently and looked at Gu Dan with a look of helplessness on his face.
The Moh family was an organization founded by Mo Qiu. The founding of the Xia Dynasty borrowed too much of Mo Qiu's reputation.
Now even if the problems of the Mohist family are discovered, who would dare to touch them?
We can only delay until the Mo family can no longer bear it, and then no one will do it.
But there is no doubt that it is not that time yet, and the Mo family is not that fragile. Now it is just a trend.
"If you don't mention it, I will. Let someone call Qin Lisheng over. It's time to talk about the Mo family's issues."
Gu Dan said.
"good!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Mang clapped his hands excitedly.
It's not that he has any objections to Qin Lisheng, it's just that the Moh family is indeed no longer suitable for the current structure of the Xia Dynasty.
When the country was first established, there was a severe shortage of manpower, and supplies relied entirely on aid and assistance from other countries. Promoting Mohist morality and virtue could stabilize people's hearts to a great extent and reduce the cost of control.
But now there is no longer a shortage of manpower, and the country has become rich.
But the ten principles of Mohism have not been changed at all.
Compared with more than 20 years ago, Mohist's style of conduct is still exactly the same even though a group of people have changed!
Many times, when Wang Mang wanted to do something, he had to consider the existence and influence of the Mohist family.
It can only be said that Moqiu succeeds and Moqiu fails.
Because of Mo Qiu's relationship, especially now that he is no longer here, no one in the court can compete with Mo Qiu's reputation. The title of 'Holy Master' is hanging there. Who dares to say that he can compare to Mo Qiu? Qiu is more forward-looking?
It was even more impossible for them to persuade Qin Lisheng. Gong Shang could not pass, and Xun Ke had to step back a little.
The only one who can solve this problem is Gu Dan.
But he stayed in the small courtyard and did nothing, so of course Wang Mang couldn't bother him. Now that Gu Dan had taken the initiative to bring it up, if he didn't hurry up and do it, what were he waiting for?
Gu Dan thought for a while and then said: "Call Xunke and Xiaoying over, I have something to explain to them."
"No problem, let's go to another palace to talk. This place is small."
Wang Mang stood up, called for the guards to give a few instructions, and said quickly.
"Why, are you afraid that the space is not spacious enough for a fight?"
Gu Dan joked.
"What are you talking about?"
The corner of Wang Mang's mouth twitched, "I'm mainly afraid that the giant will be agitated."
"The bird is better than the bird. The bird is better than the bird."
Gu Dan also felt a little emotional as he murmured this name.
After Mo Qiu left, the reputation of the Mo family has not declined. It still has its original demeanor. It is not easy to do this.
There is no doubt that Qinli wins and lives up to the name of the Mohist giant.
Although twenty-three years have passed, I have never heard of him making any great achievements like Mo Qiu that deserve special mention from the people. But as the saying goes, those who are good at fighting have no great achievements.
This guy who served as the Mohist giant after Mo Qiu has indeed carried the banner of the Mohist family.
But now, this banner has taken root too deeply, and there are even problems.
He wants to help the world, not to cure one person's illness, but to heal a country and the entire world's illness.
The Mo family is also sick.
