Travel through the Qing Dynasty and become emperor

Chapter 669 A Problem for Tang Shaoyi
"The third step is public medical care. Use financial funds to pay for the expenditure of the National Health Insurance Service, including clinics and hospitals in all regions, medical supplies, salaries of doctors and nurses, etc. The medical institutions will be mainly divided into The two types are township-based primary health care and hospital-based specialist physician services. For general minor illnesses, you can make an appointment with a community doctor. If the doctor thinks the problem is more serious, he will refer you to a specialist doctor in the hospital for further diagnosis and treatment. Whether you are poor or rich, whether you go to the township to see a doctor, go to the emergency department, or be referred by a township doctor to a specialist doctor, or even be hospitalized and have a baby, you can get medical services without paying, and all these expenses are paid by the empire. "

Sun Wen helped his glasses, and then said: "It will take at least 20 years to realize the above three steps. If the funds are sufficient, this time may be greatly shortened. At that time, the 'medicine separation' system will be implemented to cover all people. Medical care expenses, but not the cost of medicines. Doctors prescribe medicines, and patients have to go to pharmacies independent of hospitals to buy medicines. The medicines are paid by individuals, but the medicines of low-income people, minors and the elderly are paid by the government.”

After Sun Wen said that's all, the ministers exclaimed again, these two huge plans are usually not even thought about today, and only the emperor has such ambition and courage.If one day you don’t need to pay for medical treatment, isn’t that what the sages said about the great harmony in the world?

Among them, only Tang Shaoyi, the Minister of Finance, had already wrinkled her eyebrows into a figure eight, and her face was flushed without saying a word.Guan Xuqing had noticed it a long time ago, and said with a smile: "Although these two plans are good things, we still need our God of Wealth to have the final say. Shaochuan, tell me."

Tang Shaoyi was shocked, and hurried out of work and bowed to the emperor, pondering over his words with a bitter face. Guan Xuqing knew that he had difficulties, and urged him intentionally: "What's the matter? Do you disagree in your heart?"

Tang Shaoyi hurriedly waved his hands and said, "No, I dare not. These two plans are the most outstanding achievements in history, and I am too happy to be happy. How dare I oppose them."

"Really? Then why do you look like you are about to cry?"

Tang Shaoyi grinned and said with a wry smile: "Your Majesty, I want to cry without tears. The plan is good, but there is no money. The annual fiscal revenue of the empire is 30 billion, and the treasury is full of 200 billion. Such a huge two For this plan, the 200 billion yuan alone seems to be stretched, not to mention that we have to provide disaster relief and invest in the Northwest, and the money that the military department needs to go every year can account for half of the fiscal budget.”

Wu Peifu said gloomyly: "Minister Tang, let's talk about things when you talk about them. Don't hesitate to talk about the military. The money spent on the military is urgent. Frontier defense, training, exercises, shipbuilding, and now the missile force has just been equipped. It can easily cost tens of millions of yuan, so don’t you spend this money?”

Tang Shaoyi spread his hands and said helplessly: "Yes, such a big country spends money everywhere, and you should spend everywhere. You spend money freely, but you have thought about the difficulties of our Ministry of Finance. This cake is so big , Today you cut a piece, tomorrow I will cut a piece, if I don’t stop, it will be finished in a few days, and then we will line up to drink the northwest wind under the Xisi Pailou.”

Wu Peifu raised his eyebrows, and was about to retort when Guan Xuqing waved his hand and said, "Come on, this is the court hall, not a place to pour bitter water. Ziyu, don't argue, Shaochuan has his difficulties, but I said that even if you never The teeth are squeezed, and the army cannot be neglected. Now the army is the foundation of the country. Maybe the world will be really peaceful in the future, and the foundation of the country will become the livelihood of the people, so no one can stand in the way of the army."

Guan Xuqing said to the civil and military ministers: "Today, everyone in the court hall is the pillar of the country. I will not hide anything from you. Li Hongzao is also in the class. Before we came, we had a quarrel. I want to repair the garden. He It is said that I have moved the country's money, and if I want to repair it, I am not the king of Yao and Shun. I understand this. It means that if I insist on repairing the garden, I am a foolish king. But I think this garden should be repaired. Li Hongzao disagrees. After all, it is still a money Question, so I promised him that the garden can not be repaired for the time being, and I will raise money from abroad to repair it in the future, without using a penny from the treasury, Lan Sun, is that right?"

Li Hongzao also felt a little embarrassed in front of civil and military officials, and nodded with a purple face. Everyone was taken aback, and they all came over to accuse him of having no king. Although the emperor did not punish him, let's see what kind of face he has left On court.

Guan Xuqing saw that Li Hongzao was too embarrassed and annoyed, so he quickly waved his hands to stop everyone's discussion, and said: "Lan Sun is also thinking about the country, and what he said is reasonable. Building a garden is a small matter, but Enke can't wait any longer to get a scholar. Chuan, you think of a way to spend a sum of money first to repair the tribute houses in various places. Enke is also a big test, and it must not be ignored. Besides, seeing that Enke is over, it will be Qiu Wei again, and you must not let the world's soldiers for such a small amount of money. The children are chilling."

Tang Shaoyi bowed and said, "Cha."

Guan Xuqing said again: "I will tell you a truth today, money is not saved by closing the door all day, it is earned, everyone has enjoyed the peaceful life for so many years, and now there are so many We have to do everything, and everything is inseparable from money, so we can't just stare at the little things in our pot. When there is always a time when we are exhausted, we still have to look outward, and put all the gold and silver in the world. It’s there, and it depends on whether we have the ability to get it. Let me remind everyone today that if you find an opportunity in the future, you will have to make a big noise. There has been no Chinese voice on the world stage for a long time.”

When Guan Xuqing said this, many civil servants couldn't help frowning. After all, no one wants to live a peaceful life, and no one wants to be sharp all day long, but the generals are all happy and gearing up. At this time, Zhang Zuolin has been appointed as the vice president of the Army Department Chief of Staff, he is wearing a brand new general uniform today, striding out of the squad and clasping his hands: "The emperor means that there will be another war? To be honest, the palms of the brothers have been itchy these years, and I wish I could have a few more battles to have a good time." , we now have all the armed forces in the sea, land and air, and the military equipment is world-class, so whoever conquers where will come from, isn’t it just a matter of your Majesty’s words?”

Guan Xuqing laughed loudly: "Yuting, when I was in the Chengde military exercise a while ago, I even praised you for becoming more and more powerful. Why don't you relapse into old problems after a while?"

In one sentence, everyone present burst into laughter.Zhang Zuolin smiled embarrassedly with a stiff face, and stood behind Xu Shichang with hands down.

Guan Xuqing said: "We are not war madmen like Hitler, nor expansionists like Stalin. Both war and peace have only one purpose, which is to seek the interests of the empire. In the face of interests, there are no eternal friends. Who dares to stand in the way of the empire? On the way, we must clear him, whether by force or other means, until it hurts him. Well, that's all for today, let's go.

In Duanwang Mansion.Prince Zaiyi of Duanjun was sitting on the kang, holding a shiny white copper hookah, while slowly inhaling the tide smoke sent from the south, while watching a few actors from the Shengping Department rehearse the Peking opera "Da Dengdian".The girl who played Wang Baochuan looked only fourteen or fifteen years old, and her voice was very tender.She sang: "Three people are in charge of Zhaoyang Courtyard together, and I can learn from a couple of Phoenix couples." Because of her lack of proficiency, her voice trembled, and the last line was so out of tune that she couldn't continue singing.The playwright and the violin player laughed. ?Zai Yi pointed at the little court lady with a cigarette match, and laughed tremblingly, "Small, little girl, she went to foreign countries in Kyushu with a barren accent"?The girl pursed her lips and said, "My lord Duan, you sing well, why don't you sing!"? "I'll come? Okay!" Zaiyi put the hookah on the kang table and stood up.All the people in the room suddenly became interested, even the eunuchs outside stretched their necks to watch the commotion.At this time, Xizi, the manager of the mansion, walked in and said, "My lord, Chen Shuping, the magistrate of Jiangxia County, Hubei Province, is here to see you."?Zaiyi stopped the libretto and said, "Oh, tell him to wait outside." Then, he turned to the girl and said, "Listen, these two lines should be sung like this." He walked a few steps slowly, imitating a woman's The accent sang: "Three people are in charge of Zhaoyang Courtyard together, and I will learn from a pair of phoenix couples to accompany you." The words are correct and the accent is round, and the voice reveals a charming charm. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would dare not I believe this is from the mouth of an imposing five-foot man!
Even the actors from Shengping Department applauded sincerely, only Fujin Jingfang was still sitting there, eating melon seeds, with a look of contempt on her face.After singing the song, Zaiyi wiped the sweat from her brow and told the actors to continue rehearsing. After greeting Jingfang, she changed into plain clothes and went to the study.First, he paced around the room for a few steps, his face full of sternness, then walked to the window, picked up a pen and wrote the three characters "Summer Palace" on the spread out rice paper. Looks like he can't do what he wants.

"Li Hongzao is so amazing that he dared to quarrel with the emperor face to face in the Summer Palace." Xizi looked at Zaiyi's face and said, "I don't know what the emperor did wrong. He didn't punish Li Hongzao, but he was promoted two times instead. I don’t know what he’s thinking when he’s awarded a double salary.”Zaiyi didn't seem to hear Xizi's words, but the hand holding the pen kept trembling slightly, and wrote the three words "Summer Palace" over and over again. At his feet, discarded balls of rice paper had already been thrown on the ground. After finishing writing the three words "Summer Palace", he picked it up, looked around, and said, "Crack!" He tore it up again, crumpled it into a ball, threw it on the ground, and said irritably, "Xizi, why do you think I'm always Is it because you can’t write these words well?”

Xi Zijian said with a smile: "That's because the prince doesn't like these words."?Zaiyi was taken aback, a blush appeared on his slightly pale face, and he sneered, "Who said that, I like it. Back then, Lafayette Cixi changed the Qingyi Garden into the Summer Palace for the purpose of recuperating peace. Scholars Everyone thinks this name is a good change! If you can’t write these three characters, it’s because I’m useless!”
