Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 91 Quantifying the Value of the People

"Female doctor?" Hearing Li Tai's words, everyone present couldn't help but look at each other in blank dismay. They didn't expect Li Tai to ask this question.

"Do you have to be a female doctor?" Hearing Li Tai's words, Wen Yanbo couldn't help but stepped forward and said to Li Tai.

To be honest, in this era, there are specialized female doctors, who are called "the ones who treat the diseases of milk production". They are doctors who specialize in treating women's diseases. Because some diseases of women are not convenient for men to treat, so female doctors naturally appeared.

But obviously, what Li Tai mentioned was not this kind of female doctor, but a female doctor who was on the same level as a real male doctor.

What Li Tai needs is to vigorously train this kind of female doctor, making it a channel for women to survive.

Anyway, in Li Tai's view, the issue of women's status is purely a false proposition.

Don't look at the princesses of the Tang Dynasty raising noodles, five surnames and seven looking for the prime minister, but to put it bluntly, this kind of people recorded in the history books has nothing to do with the vast majority of ordinary people. They can't represent middle-class women at all, let alone Talk about low class women.

You must know that the Tang Dynasty still had court slaves, and their status was "law compared to animals".

It can be said that this is a legacy of slavery. Even a concubine with a higher status can be used as a commodity for trading at any time, let alone the situation of pawned wives and shared wives.

It is good to listen to the statement that women in the Tang Dynasty have the highest status. If you really believe it, it is a joke.

In fact, if you can become the tallest group of women in any system, even if you are not a woman from the Tang Dynasty, it will be wonderful, but it is difficult for any happy woman who can leave a name in the history books to represent ordinary people .

Therefore, it is not the era and country at all that determine the status of women, but their own economy or rights.

And Li Tai neither wanted to belittle women, nor did he want to elevate women. Li Tai only wanted labor.

Li Tai said: "Since these doctors are preparing for future battles, we naturally have to consider the lack of private medical care after they are gone. Doesn't Wen Yushi try to be as thoughtful as possible when doing things?"

When Wen Yanbo heard Li Tai's words, his face turned green and pale for a while, but Fang Xuanling hurried out to rescue Wen Yanbo, saying:
"It's common sense for the censor to hear the wind, and the King of Yue doesn't need to worry about it. Please also ask the King of Yue to explain the matter of the female doctor in detail."

Li Tai nodded and said, "Because these doctors are essentially ready for war at any time.

To a certain extent, it can be regarded as a model of the integration of soldiers and farmers, but what will happen to their patients if they are transferred away.

So female doctors are a good supplement to male doctors, uh... Li Shangshu, there are no female soldiers in our Tang Dynasty! "

"Since Princess Pingyang in the Tang Dynasty, all those who served in the army are men!" Li Jing quickly stood up and said to Li Shimin:
"So after the men join the army, it is indeed a feasible solution for the female doctors to stay and treat them."

"Then the next step is to train female doctors." Fang Xuanling nodded after hearing Li Jing's words, and looked at Yue Wangdao.

"Gao Ling adopted some girls during the refugee wave, and taught them literacy and medical skills.

They are the seeds of female doctors. Of course, they want to truly cultivate female doctors. I want to start from these aspects.

The first step is to establish orphanages in various places in Guanzhong to adopt unsupported children, both male and female. "

"Raising orphans?!" Hearing Li Tai's words, Fang Xuanling couldn't help frowning, "But we want to build the Habayashi Guard!"

When everyone present heard Fang Xuanling's words, their expressions became serious, because this was not a small crime.

"Fang Xiang, you are harming me!" Li Tai calmly said without any fear:

"I just hope they can survive and add more tiles to Datang.

If any minister is interested, he can adopt these orphans, which is considered a good deed. "

"Keep talking, keep talking!" Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "Are you Huo Qubing, and whether you can form the Habayashi Guard, I don't know!"

The original orphanage was built by Li Chunfeng, and what happened there was unknown to Li Shimin.

Even if Li Chunfeng didn't report it, didn't Bai He report it?
Li Tai said that I wrote it in my diary frankly.

Sure enough, seeing that Li Shimin didn't take this matter to heart, Li Tai continued: "I like boys who can become laborers.

But there are not many ways for women to survive, some of them are absorbed by Buxing, and some choose to go to Hualou to seek life..."

Hearing this, the faces of the adults present showed a bit of embarrassment, they really didn't expect Li Tai to be so direct.

However, Li Tai ignored them and continued, "Compared to this, I think it is at least a serious profession for them to become doctors. Whether they can seize the opportunity is their business, but whether to give them the opportunity is a matter of course." It's about our court."

Hearing Li Tai's words, the ministers present also looked serious, and they couldn't help but feel a little ashamed for their targeting of Li Tai, and naturally looked at Li Tai with a little respect. Do practical things.

Of course, when this kind of respect really waits until the time of fighting for power and profit, it will only be more ruthless. After all, if the King of Yue counteracts, I am afraid that I will not have the rest of my life.

Li Tai continued: "Although I will continue to promote women's medical schools and make women become doctors, women may not be valued by ordinary people or even good families.

So in addition to adopting orphans, so as not to break the inheritance of women's medicine, we can only see if ordinary people can be more enlightened, at least let them choose to throw their drowned children into orphanages.

But to be honest, before an outstanding figure comes out, it can only be said that the system of female doctors still needs to be cultivated.

I only hope that after 20 years, this system can be perfected. "

"20 years..." Everyone heard Li Tai's words, and the corners of their mouths twitched unconsciously.

To be honest, although everyone present is a person standing on the top of the Tang Dynasty and looking at all the small mountains, but whether it will really take 20 years to complete a plan, I am afraid no one can guarantee it.

But for Li Tai, this seemed to be a matter of course.

"20 years..." Fang Xuanling could feel the strong ambition when he heard the statistic from Li Tai.

Even as far as Fang Xuanling is concerned, he did a lot of things for the long-term stability of the Tang Dynasty, but he is not like Li Tai, who has been determined for 20 years to plan a project for the country and the people, even for himself. Clearly beneficial.

But I have to say that after hearing Li Tai's plan, Fang Xuanling respected Li Tai quite a lot.

The king of Yue really has great ambitions.

"After talking about people's affairs, we need to talk about medical supplies!" Li Tai said, then took out a memorial from his pocket and handed it to the waiter, and then said to Li Shimin, "Please read it, Aye. The materials needed to train doctors and various medicines.”

Li Shimin took the document from the servant, and naturally flipped through it, looking at the document that Li Tai sent up, he could not help but click his tongue.

Hearing Li Shimin's tone, the minister looked at Li Tai suspiciously, and then at Li Shimin.

In fact, the memorial that Li Shimin saw was exceptionally concise compared to other people's colorful copywriting.

Li Tai didn't use any accumulation of rhetoric, and only had clear data at a glance.

It is to list how much money is needed to be trained as a doctor, and how much money is needed to give him a set of tools.

At the same time, scholars are also used as a comparison. Only with comparison can people understand that it is not easy to train a doctor.

Then, Li Tai also calculated the value of the tax and corvee that the doctor would bring to the court if he could save a labor force.

To be honest, compared with the words that the king is less important than the people, Li Tai feels that it is better not to talk nonsense, how much wealth can be exploited from a labor force by directly going to the court, and whether the value of this wealth is higher than the value of training doctors.

Of course, Li Tai naturally understands that the productivity brought about by the people's transformation of nature cannot be compared with mere taxation.

But I am not a master-level figure, and I can write about the value of people in a simple way.

It is better to start directly from the perspective of taxation and corvee, and let Li Shimin understand the necessity of cultivating a doctor system.

Because it maintains the wealth of the imperial court to a certain extent, and more importantly, the people have to pay taxes and corvees when they are alive.

The average age in the Tang Dynasty was about 27 years old. For Li Shimin, if doctors can make people live ten years longer, then they can pay taxes and serve ten years more, and extend their lives by 20 years. Then they can exploit them for 20 years and extend their lives by 30 years. Years...the medical treatment of this era really can't do it.

This is the value of doctors, not whether they save lives or not, but that they are related to the country's tax revenue.

For Li Tai, if he wants to persuade the country to support him, the intermittent emotional support brought by him is very limited.

What Li Tai wanted was to show how many direct benefits this matter brought to the country, and then said, Dad, do you want to follow?
and!
Li Shimin looked at the detailed data listed by Li Tai, and clearly quantified the value brought by the people, how could he not follow!

To be honest, the original content of this part was originally the material that Li Tai asked Lu Cai to come after discussing with Liu Shenwei.

Although Li Tai's original purpose of asking Lu Cai to edit the account in detail was not for this purpose, but it has to be said that with the detailed data brought by Lu Cai, Li Tai has full confidence no matter what he does.

For example, if it is handed over to Li Shimin now, there is no need to say anything. As long as he is a normal-headed emperor, he will definitely vigorously promote the medical system.

After all, no imperial court would be troubled by taxes. The longer the people lived, the more taxes and corvees the imperial court would have!
Li Shimin looked at Li Tai's memorial with relish. Although it was as short as possible, it contained quite a lot of information.

And after reading this part, it will soon come to the next part, which is the material reserves of medicines.

If in the first half, Li Tai talked about directly quantifying the value of people, then Li Tai listed in detail the functions of various commonly used medicinal materials and the quantity that each medical building needs to stockpile.

The medicinal materials above are basically obtained from Sun Simiao, and I want prescriptions for common diseases, such as fever and brain fever, Chinese medicine basically finds ways to increase the patient's resistance to survive.

As for the prescriptions prescribed by Sun Simiao, Li Tai directly listed more than a hundred kinds of herbal medicines that need to be grown routinely, as the common reserve medicinal materials needed by the medical house.

If the common people have any headaches and brain fever, they can take medicine directly from the doctor's house according to the prescription.

Of course, if there is any serious illness, such as heart disease, brain tumor, or cancer, then don't expect the clinic to treat it. This is not a terminal illness that ordinary people in this era can afford, so let's just accept our fate.

However, one thing that must be explained is that the various data listed by Li Tai are market prices, not cost prices.

But even so, for the court, it is a huge profit, it just depends on whether the court has this determination.

After Li Shimin read the memorial, he didn't speak immediately, but handed the things to the servant, and asked the servant to give it to Fang Xuanling.

Fang Xuanling was originally curious about what Li Tai wrote, but when he actually saw it, he couldn't help but look serious.

After Fang Xuanling finished reading it, he folded the memorial in his hands, but made the officials present raise their heads.

Everyone complained that Fang Xuanling was not meaningful enough. Obviously this memorial was very important, but Fang Xuanling didn't intend to share it at all.

"King Yue, where do the numbers above come from!?" Fang Xuanling stepped forward and asked Li Tai.

Facing the pressure brought by Fang Xuanling, Li Tai solemnly replied without flinching:

"These figures are based on the statistics of Gaoling, led by Lv Cai, the head of the music department of the Agricultural Institute, and the students of the Agricultural Institute.

In addition, with the circulation of the confluence of the Weihe River, the statistics of the people up and down the Weihe River have also begun to be obtained.

I can't guarantee that the above data is error-free, but I can guarantee that this is the most detailed data that agricultural universities can make.

As for the prices of the various materials above, they are basically calculated according to the market price. If the housekeeper has any doubts, you can investigate by yourself. "

Hearing Li Tai's words, Fang Xuanling looked at the price above again. To be honest, he didn't think Li Tai would lie about this.

Fang Xuanling hesitated for a while and said: "You have collected this data in detail, King Yue, and I believe it is also a conspiracy, can you tell me about it!"

Hearing Fang Xuanling's words, Li Tai nodded calmly and said, "Because the medical industry is different from many industries, it not only needs people, but also needs medicines, and only with both of these can people be treated.

What's more important is that this medical system also needs to go out with the army in times of war.

Therefore, it is impossible to rely on the usual small-scale collection for the preparation of medical supplies, because this is definitely not enough.

And a medical system without enough medical supplies is just a joke, and it would be better not to come.

Therefore, it is necessary for the imperial court to open up a medicinal garden dedicated to providing medicinal materials, which requires the support of the imperial court and the support of the state. "

Hearing Li Tai's words, Fang Xuanling couldn't help but narrowed his eyes. After a long silence, he asked again:

"King Yue, where do you think is suitable!"
