Farming in space: the struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 240 Chapter 240
Mu Yu intends to build Huangsha City into the best city in Southern Qi, first of all to make the people in the city rich, and then attract more people to settle in Huangsha City.

At this stage, she is already very rich, but the people have just escaped poverty. Even with the good grain she provides, they will definitely become rich gradually in less than two years. In her opinion, this is not enough.

It needs to be faster, more reliable, and more resistant to risks.

In addition to using spring water to improve food seeds, she has recently launched melons, fruits and vegetables, which are purchased under the backing of her business, which will allow the common people to make a lot of money quickly.

She also bought a large number of various fruit tree seedlings from outside, and after treating them with spring water, she asked the people in the city to plant these fruit tree seedlings on those unowned wasteland and thin fields.

Because of the spring water treatment, these fruit trees have tenacious vitality, and they can grow smoothly without special care. After processing, it is sold to various places to make money, which adds a large amount of income to the city for no reason.

It's just food, fruits and vegetables, and making money is just making money. She also grows these in Yuanshan Town and Jinzhou, and it's not an irreplaceable advantage. It can only make people rich quickly, but herbs are not.

Recently, she encouraged all the people in the city to go to Taoyuan Academy to learn medical skills. Not only does it not require training, but as long as they pass the assessment, they will also get bonuses.

She has a lot of status in the hearts of the common people, she has said so, not to mention there is still money to get, and there are not many things to do in winter, so naturally they all go to the academy to attend lectures, which is called seriousness.

She herself stayed on the ground every day to listen to the doctor's explanation of Chinese herbal medicine, etc., and cultivated a large number of herbal medicines in the space, and planned to promote these miraculous herbal medicines in Huangsha City.

These medical skills and herbs are the foundation of Huangsha City in the future.

……

Winter is over, and in the blink of an eye, it will be March in Yangchun, the season of spring plowing.

This day, she looked at the data presented by Ji Xiucai and laughed from ear to ear. The result was much better than she thought.

Now there are more than [-] people in the city, of whom more than [-] are educated in the academy.

That is to say, there are more than [-] literate people, and more than [-] people have accepted her call to study medicine in the academy.

After more than two months of study in one winter, 89 people passed the preliminary medical examination.

The doctor who taught said that if he was given another three months, so many of the remaining group of people would still pass the examination, and these nearly 200 people, as long as they study hard for another two or three years, they will definitely be able to be serious. Go into a hospital to be a doctor.

The inheritance of ancient medicine is actually a very long-term thing. It doesn't take a few years or ten years to achieve success, and most people don't accept apprentices casually, but she obviously can't wait that long.

She hired a lot of famous doctors with a lot of money, and promised many benefits, so that they would teach others with their housekeeping skills, and let them research each other on how to quickly teach students, and also put forward many suggestions based on modern times. With a person like Ji Xiucai who is proficient in teaching, it is not too difficult to complete this matter.

She set three assessments according to the new standard.

The first assessment is to know the various concepts of medicine and various herbal medicines. It doesn’t matter if you don’t know how to do it, as long as you know what’s going on, you won’t be confused by what others say.

After passing this assessment, not to mention a bonus of ten taels of silver, you can also apply to stay in academies and medical centers to do odd jobs, which is a relatively good job.

Especially for women, old people and children who are physically weak and unable to farm well, this is a good opportunity.

The second assessment is basic medical knowledge, which is roughly equivalent to the level of an ordinary barefoot doctor. He can cure common headaches, brain fever and other diseases, and he can grow herbs by himself.

After passing this assessment, you can get a bonus of 30 taels of silver. You can practice medicine by yourself, go to a medical clinic as a doctor, or stay in the academy as a teacher to teach more people, as long as you pass the third assessment later.

The third assessment is in-depth medical knowledge, at least the level of a doctor in Yuanshan Township, to become a doctor in the true sense.

The bonus for this assessment is 100 taels of silver.

Ten taels, 30 taels, and 100 taels, each amount is a huge sum of money for ordinary people. In the past, it would be a huge sum of money that they would not be able to save for years, decades, or even a lifetime.

Even in the current Huangsha City, a family would have to work hard for three or two years to save ten taels of silver. Thirty taels would take ten years, and 30 taels would take half a lifetime...

Under the reward, there must be a brave man. Under the temptation of such a bonus, many people who originally thought that studying medicine was too difficult and had no future joined the ranks of studying medicine.

Especially after the first batch of 89 people passed the first assessment and got ten taels of silver, those who didn't come to study medicine thought in their hearts that many of these people were like them, and they didn't know much Chinese characters half a year ago. If they can pass this test now, then of course they can too!

The main reason is that the ten taels of silver make people really greedy. If you come to class for three months and pass the exam, you can earn money that can only be earned in three years. Who can give up such a good thing?
As a result, the number of people who went to the school to read and write has skyrocketed, directly exceeding a thousand people, and the number of people who have come to the academy to study medicine has also skyrocketed, from the original 400 to more than [-], directly doubling.

Mu Yu is very relieved that this will be the backbone of the revitalization of Huangsha City in the future.

These policies not only have an impact on the local people in Huangsha City, but also have a great impact on people outside Huangsha City.

Those doctors or other businessmen invited from other places reported the situation here back to their hometowns, or encouraged or suggested their doctor friends to come to work in Huangsha City.

An ordinary doctor who sits in a doctor’s office only earns more than ten taels of silver a year, which is enough to support his family, but if he comes to live in Huangsha City, he can get two acres of land, and after three assessments, he can get 140 taels of silver. Buy a small house and buy ten acres of land and still have a lot of money left over.

What's more, the salary of working in Huangsha City is much higher than that of the medical clinic outside, and the life can be more nourishing.

Even if the medical skills are not up to standard and can only pass the second and first assessments, it will be much better to come to Huangsha City than to go outside.

Under the temptation of all these, as soon as the spring plowing ended, Huangsha City received dozens of doctors from outside.

After talking with their friends and relatives, and seeing everything in Huangsha City with their own eyes, these people almost all chose to settle here and become Huangsha City people.

After experiencing life in Huangsha City for a period of time, many of them wrote letters to other relatives who were still in their hometown, asking them to come and live in Huangsha City.

Just like that, before the next batch of Qu people arrived, the number of people in Huangsha City exceeded [-].
