Rebirth of Wu Ba Spring and Autumn

Facing Deng Xi's questioning, Wu Hong didn't panic at all, and said slowly: "Master Deng's words are wrong."

"As an overseas vassal kingdom, Ningguo can still implement free medical care for all, why can't my great Wu implement the national policy of free medical care for all?"

"My Great Wu is rich and prosperous, and Ningguo is far behind. The country implements free medical care for all, which can be said to be for the livelihood of the people!"

"It's a good one who lives for the people!"

Deng Xi smiled, and said again: "King Ning, your great ambitions and achievements in Ning State have made me very admired. However, Great Wu is not Ning State, and the national conditions are different. How can we treat them equally?"

"Although the national treasury of my Great Wu is full and the money and food are piled up like a mountain, the development status of each place is different. Some counties and counties are rich and some are poor. What can I do?"

"King Ning, your country of Ning has indeed implemented free medical care for all."

"However, if the old man remembers correctly, Ningguo has Changbai Mountain, and the land is full of medicinal herbs. It is not difficult to brew medicinal materials."

"On the other hand, in my Great Wu, medicinal materials are not so easy to find. The territory of Great Wu stretches across thousands of miles, and the work of transshipment and preservation of some medicinal materials is not a small problem."

"There are also consultation fees for doctors, maintenance of pharmacies, and trading of medicinal materials."

"Every account here is almost astronomical. So, please stop talking like this, King Ning, so that your back won't hurt."

"..."

It is not unreasonable for Deng Xi to dare to confront Wu Hong like this.

His starting point is to consider the actual interests of Da Wu.

In Deng Xi's view, Qingji has been in power for many years, and the welfare policies given to the great Wu Lishu are good enough. Various policies to benefit the people have made many Wu people rich and well-off, and they will not worry about food and clothing. This is enough .

Now that Qingji has easily solved the medical problems of the people of the country, wouldn't the people of Wu be able to lie flat in the future?

How can such a country have motivation?
"Master Deng's words, Miao Ye."

Wu Hong frowned and said, "My Dawu's medical school has been established for decades so far, and it has trained at least 10 qualified doctors."

"In addition to the doctors in the countryside and the disciples trained by the doctors themselves, there are hundreds of thousands of doctors in the Great Wu!"

"Totally enough!"

"Given the great national strength of Wu, how difficult is it to maintain the normal operation of the pharmacy, purchase, store and transport medicinal materials?"

"Master Deng, what you said is completely an excuse."

When Deng Xi heard this, he simply stopped pretending and went straight to showdown with Wu Hong.

"His Royal Highness Ning, I tell you the truth, the real reason why I think that my Great Wu cannot implement universal free medical care is that once my Great Wu implements universal free medical care, what will happen to the folk customs?"

"Now Dawu has various policies to benefit the people, so that the old will be able to die, the strong will be useful, the young will be strong, and the widows, widows, lonely and sick will all be supported."

"Under such circumstances, if universal free medical care is still implemented, the consequences will be disastrous."

"Life is alive, birth, old age, sickness and death. Now, except for the life and death of the people of the country, I, Da Wu, have taken care of everything."

"No, it can be said that the birth, old age, sickness and death of the Chinese people have all been taken care of."

"The living have a birth-encouraging policy, and the dead have their whereabouts arranged by the state."

"This person doesn't have to worry about life, old age, sickness and death, how can he still have fighting spirit?"

"Without fighting spirit, there will be no self-motivation, and without self-motivation, a person will be useless."

After a pause, Deng Xi said again: "If, as you said, King Ning, this kind of free medical care for all is implemented in Dawu, I am afraid that not only one person will be abolished, but almost all my Wu people will be abolished!"

Different perspectives on things determine that their opinions will also be different.

As a representative of Legalism, Deng Xi treated people more harshly.

Deng Xi believes that the strategy of governing the country lies first in "weakening the people".

What are weak people?

Weak people are to let Li Shu barely maintain a level of food and clothing, neither to starve to death nor to make a fortune.

And this is obviously not in line with Da Wu's development needs.

Therefore, the Wu Kingdom and Great Wu under Qingji's rule have always been governed by Taoism, supplemented by Legalism and Confucianism.

However, Qingji also had to admit that the propositions of famous Legalists like Deng Xi were not unreasonable.

Only in the face of adversity will a person burst out with extraordinary fighting spirit, or "die" directly.

This is probably not to erupt in silence, but to perish in silence.

"Master Deng, what you said is completely nonsense!"

Before Wu Hong could speak, Zeng Shen, Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, stood up and retorted to Deng Xi: "If nothing else, let me ask you, are there more normal people in Da Wu, or more sick people?"

"Naturally there are many normal people."

"Then how dare Mr. Deng say that once free medical care is available for all, almost all of us in Wu will be abolished? Isn't this a fallacy?"

"This……"

For a while, Deng Xi couldn't find any sharper words to refute Zeng Shen.

Who can guarantee that they will not get sick?

Who dares to say that he has never been sick?

In this era, any cold or fever may kill someone.

Thanks to the medical policy implemented by Qingji in his early years, those who might die of illness were saved.

At this time, Qing Ji saw that Deng Xi finally no longer objected, and waved his hand, "I mean, from now on, my Great Wu will implement free medical care for all."

"Based on the Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau, hospitals are established in various places, equipped with doctors, medicines, and equipment to treat Chinese people for free."

"A hospital is different from a pharmacy. A hospital is a place for receiving patients for treatment and recuperation. They will not be discharged until they recover."

"All the people of our Great Wu (excluding the people of the feudal kingdom), the hospital and everyone else are not allowed to collect any medical fees from the patients and their families, and are not allowed to collect medical fees in any form. Violators will be severely punished."

"If it is light, it will be fined ten times as much as the medical expenses, and if it is serious, it will be exiled to the border country!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

The officials shouted.

Qingji's establishment of a hospital is still a great pioneering work in this era.

This is the first hospital in the world.

And in order to prevent people in the hospital from stealing, cheating, collecting medical expenses in different ways, asking for "red envelopes" and so on, Qing Ji has formulated corresponding regulations.

Qing Ji is very clear about the dirty problems in the hospitals of later generations.

For example, those so-called developed countries also claim to have "free medical care for all".

But how many countries have truly achieved free medical care for all?
Of Babba Sheep's 2.07 million population, less than [-] million people are covered by this "free medical care" plan.

Those who can enjoy this free medical insurance account for less than 50% of the total population of Baba Yang!

Moreover, it is not free in the true sense, people have to spend the equivalent of 740 soft sister coins to buy medical insurance every year!
What's even more ironic is that Baba Yang's so-called "free medical care" actually has a payment limit, which is 7400 soft sister coins. If this amount is exceeded, the medical insurance department will no longer pay...

Brother Ah San's side is even more outrageous. A city with a population of several million may only have a few hundred public hospital beds, which is not even a good number.

If you want free resources, you often wait until you die without getting a painkiller!

The universal free medical care that Qingji wants to implement in Dawu is not just a lie, but it must be implemented in a down-to-earth manner, covering every citizen of Dawu.

"Wu Hong, you are in charge of the free medical care for all people in Dawu. You must ensure that there are at least three county-level hospitals in a county, and there must be a clinic in each township."

"promise!"

Wu Hong immediately agreed.
