"Public restrooms! Parks!"
As Kaifeng Prefecture announced the second location of Medical City! The people cheered.
After all, people have three urgent needs. The government's extensive construction of public toilets is indeed of great benefit to ordinary people. Not to mention the large-scale construction of parks, which makes ordinary people fascinated.
Bian Garden has always been a sacred place in the literary world. Only literati and scholars are allowed to enter. How can ordinary people have the opportunity to see the scenery of Bian Garden. Now that Kaifeng Prefecture is planning to build a large park in the city, everyone can enter and play. How can it not be allowed to the people of Kaifeng? Cheers and cheers.
As the prefect of Kaifeng, Fan Chunli naturally had great power in his hands.
Following Fan Chunli's order, a large number of farmers were summoned. It was winter at this time, a time of slack farming, and the best time to collect corvees. It did not cause dissatisfaction among the people. Of course, the main reason was because of this corvee. There is a salary.
The system of farm work was first successfully implemented in Kaifeng Prefecture, which directly provided Kaifeng Prefecture with sufficient financial funds. Fan Chunli's political philosophy was conservative, and he attached great importance to the park, so he naturally had to achieve perfection.
The first park built by Fan Chunli was the Shanghe Garden on both sides of the Bianhe River! Bianhe River is a place where people in Kaifeng often visit. It has certain park attributes and only needs a little modification.
"Clear the weeds on both sides of the Bian Bridge, plant flowers and trees, and transplant some evergreen trees in winter, so that people can still go there happily even in winter."
"In the Shanghe Garden, lay bluestone slabs, build pavilions and wooden chairs! It is beneficial without cost, and it can also be clean and tidy."
Fan Zheng later had many years of experience in visiting parks. Fan Chunli benefited a lot and was amazed by a little bit of the park layout.
With sufficient manpower, sufficient funds, and reasonable planning, the progress of Shanghe Park has been greatly accelerated.
"It is simply unreasonable. The scale of Shanghe Garden is several times that of Bian Garden. In the future, the name of Bian Garden as a literary holy place may become a joke."
With the planning of Shanghe Garden, its scale was based on the millions of people in Kaifeng. Naturally, it was not on the same scale as the small Bian Garden. Fan Chunli's construction of Shanghe Garden immediately aroused dissatisfaction among Kaifeng's literary circles.
"The Second Medical City! The Fan family and his son really work together. The son becomes a forensic doctor, and the father continues to be a medical doctor."
"In my opinion, the real decision-maker in Kaifeng Mansion is probably not Fan Chunli, but his son Fan Zheng, the evil doctor."
There was a burst of cynicism in Kaifeng's literary circles.
The DPRK and the Central Government strongly refuted Fan Chunli's construction of the park. Everyone in the old party angrily criticized him for wasting people's money and money, and the new party impeached Fan Chunli for eating his corpse.
Even more officials were jealous of Fan Chunli's official position as Kaifeng magistrate. They retook the previous events and wrote letters to impeach Fan Chunli.
All of a sudden.
Fan Chunli, who had just taken over as the prefect of Kaifeng, was in turmoil.
Although Su Song, the right prime minister, vigorously defended Fan Chunli, he seemed to be weak in the face of the concerted efforts of the old and new parties to impeach him.
"It's the child who is dragging down the father!" Fan Zheng said ashamedly.
Fan Chunli smiled and said: "When your grandfather implemented the Qingli New Deal, there was a lot of opposition from the government and the public. Before you became a forensic scientist, there were also doubts. Now that you are a father, you can only carry out medical treatment. The people are applauding, and it is just the court. There is nothing to fear if the church objects! As long as it is beneficial to the people, the Fan family has never been afraid of rumors."
When Fan Zhongyan carried out the reform, the government and the public were even more skeptical, and the reform ultimately failed. Facts have proved that the Song Dynasty was indeed poor and weak. It took decades for Wang Anshi's vigorous reform to take place.
His son Fan Zheng was not afraid of rumors and became a forensic doctor, and now the medical profession is flourishing.
If his father is like this and his son is like this, why should he be afraid of rumors?
Faced with numerous criticisms from all over the country, Fan Chunli did not back down, but decided to continue to implement the method of healing the city.
"Father is wise!" Fan Zheng complimented.
The father and son continued to discuss the construction of the park. Suddenly, the steward of the Fan Mansion hurriedly came to report: "Young Master, the court has sent news of the great epidemic in Luoyang. Please come to the palace to discuss the matter."
"Luoyang epidemic!"
Fan Zheng couldn't help but his heart trembled, and he suddenly stood up and said.
You must know that Li Qingzhao is in Luoyang. He and Li Qingzhao were planning to get married after the new year. His mother, Ma, had already prepared Fan Zheng's wedding room. Now, there is a big epidemic in Luoyang.
"how so?"
Even Fan Chunli could not believe it. Whenever a plague broke out, people suffered heavy casualties, not to mention that Luoyang City was Xijing of the Song Dynasty and the largest city after Kaifeng, with a population of nearly one million. Once the plague broke out in Luoyang, what would happen to the people? It would be a disaster for the Song Dynasty.
"This is the reason why Hai'er promoted the idea of a medical city. I didn't expect that Kaifeng escaped, but Luoyang suddenly suffered a major epidemic." Fan Zheng said with a bitter smile.
According to historical facts, the plague originally appeared in Kaifeng City at the end of the year, but now that Kaifeng City has implemented the medical city method, the health situation has greatly improved, and the plague was finally avoided.
Fan Chunli nodded solemnly. He continued to promote the medical city method, which was questioned by the court. Now that Luoyang was seriously affected by the epidemic, the crisis was about to be resolved. However, he would rather not use this method to break the situation.
Fan Zheng immediately suggested to Fan Chunli: "Kaifeng and Luoyang are closely connected. Kaifeng must be on guard against the epidemic in Luoyang. Please ask your father to organize manpower immediately to count the people who have recently come to Kaifeng from Luoyang and list them and their contacts one by one." Quarantine to prevent the plague from raging in Kaifeng City."
Fan Chunli was suddenly shocked, and the father and son took action immediately. One goes to Kaifeng Mansion and the other goes to the palace.
………………
The palace!
When Fan Zheng arrived at the Chui Gong Hall, all the courtiers had gathered. Faced with the sudden epidemic in Luoyang, all of them looked grave.
Su Song solemnly said: "To inform the officials, according to doctors' theory that the sources of disease are alive, the most likely places for plague to occur are in the cities of the world. Luoyang is not the first city to suffer from plague, and it will definitely not be the last to suffer from it. City. We sincerely request the officials to issue an order to implement the method of medical treatment in all cities in the world to prevent the plague from raging."
Su Song was secretly glad that compared to Luoyang, Kaifeng City had a larger population and was more likely to suffer from the plague. Fortunately, he followed Fan Zheng's advice to heal the city and allowed Kaifeng City to escape the disaster.
Otherwise, if the plague occurs in the capital, the entire Song Dynasty may be paralyzed.
"allow!"
Zhao Xu's face was heavy. Plague is the most tragic disaster for mankind. Whenever there is a plague, no matter high-ranking officials or ordinary people, they are all treated equally, and human lives are like a piece of grass.
The old and new parties were suddenly shocked. Just yesterday they were righteously impeaching Fan Chunli's plan to heal the city. But just one day later, news of the Luoyang epidemic came, and the plan to heal the city instantly became a good plan.
"Let me tell the officials that it is too late to promote the idea of a medical city now. Luoyang is the Xijing of the Song Dynasty. There are nearly a million people in the city. If the plague is allowed to run rampant, it will definitely cause a catastrophe." Zhang Dun avoided the important matter and took the easy way. .
Other officials agreed that Luoyang was an important city in the Song Dynasty and there was no room for failure.
"I would like to inform the officials that the plague is a warning from God. The reforms of the Song Dynasty are against the laws of the ancestors. The people have many grudges. Please think twice!" An official from the old party said sadly.
The old party officials had a change of heart. They used natural disasters to completely disrupt Wang Anshi's political reform. They regarded the refugee situation caused by the drought as the bitter fruit of Wang Anshi's political reform, which ultimately led to the failure of the new law.
If they can use natural disasters as a weapon to attack the new law, what happened during the Shenzong years may not happen again.
"That's nonsense!"
The new party immediately shouted angrily.
"Luoyang City has a population of nearly one million and generates countless filth every day. It is known that Kaifeng City has implemented the effective method of medical city, but the Luoyang Prefecture turned a blind eye and watched the plague occur. The ministers and others impeached the Luoyang Prefecture and did nothing, which led to the outbreak of the plague. Big disaster." Zhang Dun scolded angrily.
A group of new parties agreed.
Nowadays, they no longer care about being slapped in the face, they all praise Kaifeng Prefecture's medical city and angrily criticize Luoyang Prefecture's laziness and neglect of government.
Officials of the old party were anxious and immediately counterattacked. You must know that Luoyang is the stronghold of the old party. Once the new party impeaches the Luoyang prefect, it will be a heavy blow to the old party.
Suddenly, the new party and the old party once again criticized each other.
"enough!"
Zhao Xu angrily scolded.
"Natural disasters are not warnings from God. At the beginning of spring, an insect plague occurred in Kaifeng Prefecture. Dear friends, you also said that it was a warning from God. What was the result? Doctors used poison to fight poison, and the insect plague was cured immediately. I think the same is true for plagues, but we, the Song Dynasty, have not yet found a cure. That's all!" Zhao Xu looked around at the ministers and said angrily.
"The officials are wise!" New Party officials agreed one after another.
Officials did not believe that the natural disaster was related to the new law, which relieved the New Party.
The old party officials suddenly looked embarrassed. They used natural disasters to force Zhao Xu once, but Fan Zheng used medical skills to crack it. Now the officials no longer believe in God's warning.
"Doctor?"
Many old party officials gritted their teeth.
As the prime minister, Lu Dafang took the initiative to offer advice: "The plague in Luoyang is extremely urgent. I sincerely ask the officials to recruit doctors to support Luoyang and treat the people to relieve the danger of the people in Luoyang."
"Recruit doctors to support Luoyang?"
The hearts of everyone in the New Party were moved.
The plague is not an ordinary disease, but the most terrifying disease in the world. Naturally, the best doctors are sent to Luoyang, and Fan Zheng is the natural best choice as the leader of the doctors.
"Fan Taicheng has superb medical skills. The ministers recommended Fan Taicheng to go to Luoyang to preside over the epidemic, so as to alleviate the danger of the people in Luoyang." Wang Di, the imperial minister, took the initiative to step forward.
"I second the proposal!"
New Party officials echoed.
It is rare for the new party and the old party to agree, and they focus their contradictions on Fan Zheng.
Nowadays, the New Party is extremely embarrassed. Although the officials re-employ the New Party, they trust Fan Zheng the most. The new laws he implements are often changed beyond recognition by Fan Zheng using his medical ideas. The establishment of the Medical Party and the New Party actually change their laws. This makes The New Party gritted its teeth with hatred.
Taking advantage of the Luoyang epidemic, Fan Zheng and Zhao Xu were separated, which was in line with the new party's wishes.
Wang Di could not help but feel proud. He recommended Fan Zheng to go to Luoyang to take charge of the epidemic control work. He did not ask Fan Zheng to go deep into the epidemic area and die, but the epidemic lasted for three years. Even if Fan Zheng had the ability to quell the epidemic in Luoyang, it would still take several years. time.
Moreover, Fan Zheng presided over the fight against the epidemic, so it was inevitable that he would have to deal with the plague. They could use this reason to separate the official family and Zhao Xu, and refuse Fan Zheng to return to Beijing. No matter how good the relationship between Fan Zheng and the official family was, they would probably be upset after being separated for three years. Create estrangement.
Maybe after three years, it's still unclear who the celebrity around the official family will be.
The people in the old party were also thoughtful, and they naturally gritted their teeth against Fan Zheng. The reason why the old party was able to have its current disadvantage was inseparable from Fan Zheng.
Moreover, the officials had too much faith in Fan Zhengchong. In time, another Wang Anshi might become another one. It might be a good idea to separate Fan Zheng and Zhao Xu in the name of the plague.
"I heard that Li Cainv is also trapped in Kaifeng City now. Fan Taicheng and Li Cainv have a deep friendship, so I think they will not refuse to go to Luoyang to fight the epidemic." Lu Dafang cooperated.
Suddenly, everyone's eyes were focused on Fan Zheng.
The new party forced Fan Zheng to go to Luoyang to fight the epidemic out of medical righteousness, while the old party kidnapped Fan Zheng out of morality because of the relationship between men and women. Fan Zheng had to go to Luoyang to fight the epidemic this time.
"I would like to inform the officials that I am willing to go to Luoyang in person to quell the plague." Fan Zheng took a deep breath and said solemnly.
"Fan Aiqing?" Zhao Xu couldn't help but look at Fan Zheng in embarrassment.
Everyone knew that going to Luoyang to fight the epidemic would be risky. Moreover, after three years of epidemic, he might have to be separated from Fan Zheng for three years.
You must know that from his ability to take charge of the government to the reform, Fan Zheng has always been on the side to make suggestions. Now that he is suddenly separated from Fan Zheng, he is naturally very reluctant to part with him.
Fan Zheng said solemnly: "Doctors have the responsibility to help the world. Fan is determined to become a forensic doctor, build a hospital, and develop medical skills in order to face the plague today. This is the responsibility of doctors. I can't retreat, and I still have to do it." Reason to go.”
Fan Zheng couldn't help but feel heartbroken when he thought about Li Qingzhao's life and death in Luoyang.
When he was trapped in Pingxia City, Li Qingzhao kept running around the Song Dynasty, donating money and materials to fight against Xixia, hoping to increase his chances of winning.
Now that Li Qingzhao was trapped in the epidemic area of Luoyang, it was time for him to risk his own life to save her.
"allow!"
Zhao Xu couldn't help but sigh, knowing that Fan Zheng had made up his mind and could not be persuaded at all.
The old and new parties couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. As long as Fan Zheng stayed away from the court, they would have enough opportunities to suppress the medical party.
When Su Song saw this, he sighed and did not stop him. Just as Fan Zheng said, when the plague comes, doctors have no shirk.
"However, Wei Chen has one condition? Please ask for permission from the government!" Fan Zheng said solemnly.
"Fan Aiqing, please tell me?" Zhao Xu nodded and said.
"I want the power of Luoyang!" Fan Zheng said solemnly.
"What?" Zhao Xu asked in confusion.
Fan Zheng explained: "What Weichen means is that when the doctors go to Luoyang to quell the epidemic, the first priority in everything in Luoyang will be to quell the epidemic, and the doctors will control the highest power in Luoyang City."
"This is impossible?"
Lu Dafang blurted out.
"I object!" Zhang Dun said almost at the same time.
Without him! Fan Zheng's move was completely inconsistent with the rules of the officialdom. The new party and the old party had been fighting for a long time. However, it was still a conflict within the civil servants, and power had always been regarded as forbidden by the civil servants, and no one else was allowed to get involved.
Fan Zheng was just a doctor who went to Luoyang City to quell the plague.
They can ask the officials in Luoyang to cooperate with the doctors as much as possible, instead of letting the doctors control the power of Luoyang and boss the civil officials around.
Fan Zheng solemnly said: "To discuss the world's understanding of plague, it must be the doctors. However, in the process of practicing medicine, doctors often conflict with secular ideas. When suppressing the plague, when the ideas of officials and doctors conflict, who should listen to them? who."
The faces of the officials of the new and old parties couldn't help but change. Naturally, it was the doctors who had the final say in quelling the plague. However, as civil servants, they were unwilling to throw away the power in their hands.
Zhao Xu was caught in a dilemma. One was Fan Zheng, whom he trusted most, and the other was the ancient tradition of civilian governance. He didn't know how to choose.
Seeing this, Fan Zheng solemnly said: "Plagues have occurred frequently in the past dynasties, and civilian officials commanded doctors to quell the plague. This is the tradition of three years of great epidemics. If the officials trust Wei Chen and let the doctors take charge of Luoyang, Wei Chen will guarantee that in March Counter the epidemic.”
"Epidemic eradication in March"
Suddenly, the whole court was in an uproar.
Change first and then change
