Can I get to the other side?

In the palace, in the bedroom.

Zhang Zhongjing was checking Zhen Mi's pulse, his brows furrowed tightly, which made Liu Xie on the side look a little frightened.

As the saying goes, if you are not afraid of the Chinese medicine doctor smiling, you are afraid of the Chinese medicine doctor having low eyebrows.

Even a contemporary medical sage like Zhang Zhongjing showed such an expression when checking Zhen Mi's pulse, which showed that Zhen Mi's illness was much more troublesome than imagined.

Soon, Zhang Zhongjing finished taking the pulse and sighed: "It is indeed not a simple lung disease. No wonder Yihua's superb medical skills are helpless."

Hearing this, Zhen Mi's face paled slightly.

And Liu Xie's heart sank.

Could it be that even Zhang Zhongjing couldn't cure this disease?

Hua Tuo also sighed: "This lung disease is something that noble people are born with. Although I have been practicing medicine for many years and traveled far and wide, I have never encountered such a disease."

"I wonder if Brother Zhongjing can cure him?"

Hua Tuo believed and admired Zhang Zhongjing's medical skills very much. If anyone in the world could cure this disease, it could only be Zhang Zhongjing.

Zhang Zhongjing smiled lightly when he heard this and said, "If it had been a few years earlier, I'm afraid I really wouldn't have been able to do anything."

"But in the past few years, I have devoted myself to compiling medical books and prescriptions in Zhongnan Mountain, and I have seen similar symptoms in a medical book."

"Among the five elements, the lungs belong to gold, just like a bell. A bell will not ring when it knocks. Cultivated soil produces gold, metal and water grow together, and the lungs and kidneys have the same origin."

"If you want to cure a noble person's lung disease, you should start from the spleen and strengthen the spleen and kidneys, then the lung disease can be cured."

Zhang Zhongjing talked eloquently and described the method of treating Zhen Mi's illness.

After hearing this, Hua Tuo looked astonished, and at the same time he kept writing down in the booklet he carried with him.

Liu Xie couldn't understand the theoretical principles of traditional Chinese medicine mentioned by Zhang Zhongjing, so he directly asked: "Sir, are you sure you can cure Zhen Guiren?"

Zhang Zhongjing cupped his hands and said: "It is not difficult to cure Zhen Guiren's illness. The only difficulty is that Zhen Guiren is pregnant with a dragon heir. Many medicines are not good for the fetus, so the prescription needs to be carefully considered."

"Your Majesty, please give me three months to recover."

Zhang Zhongjing's tone was calm and confident.

Liu Xie was overjoyed. He took Zhen Mi's hand and said, "Did you hear that, my beloved? Mr. Zhang can cure your illness. You just need to rest in peace and recuperate."

Zhen Mi was also very excited at this time. She had been prepared to wait for death, but now she had hope again.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Zhen Mi's eyes were slightly red and she answered softly.

Liu Xie spent so much time on her illness that he even invited Zhang Zhongjing, a famous miracle doctor.

"Okay, you can rest in peace and cultivate yourself, and don't think about it any more."

Liu Xie stretched out his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of Zhen Mi's eyes and comforted her softly. Emotions can greatly affect the condition.

Then he took Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo out of the palace, and said to them: "As long as the two gentlemen can cure Zhen Guiren, when I open the academy to unify the world, I will include doctors among them."

"At that time, the two gentlemen can enter the palace to teach students medical skills, and carry forward the medical profession for thousands of years."

Liu Xie drew a big pie for the two of them.

Of course, it’s not really a cakewalk, because he had the idea of ​​opening a school very early, and it was closely related to the reform of the imperial examination system that he would carry out in the future.

There are so many inheritances and cultures of various schools of thought, such as medicine, farming, Mohism, etc., which are all very useful. He will open a school in the future to list these as subjects for people to study, just like the university majors in later generations.

Only in this way can useful talents be screened more comprehensively.

Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo both opened their eyes wide when they heard this. They looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.

Although medical schools have great influence, they have never been classified as official schools like Confucianism, and the emperor actually intends to allow them to enter the palace?

"I must try my best!"

Zhang Zhongjing was the first to come to his senses and said excitedly that even with his temperament, he could not remain calm in front of this promise.

He doesn't care about fame or fortune. What he hopes most is that his medical skills can be passed down and he can save more people.

And this opportunity is now in front of him!

Liu Xie smiled, encouraged the two of them a few words, and then left, even his pace became much more relaxed.

…

After the crusade against Ma Chao ended, Liu Xie had to deal with more things every day.

The first is about the rewards for the ministers, and the second is how to reorganize the captured Xiliang troops and move the capital.

Chang'an has been recovered, and moving the capital will naturally be put on the agenda.

This is a first-class event.

However, moving the capital was a huge and complicated matter. There were many preparations that needed to be made, and he, the emperor, had to take care of them all.

He, the emperor who was the boss of the throne, was so busy, not to mention the ministers such as Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi who were recruited by him to work as cows and horses.

In order to reduce the burden on the ministers, Liu Xie changed the stay in the palace to handle government affairs to a shift system. Today, the people in charge of assisting in handling government affairs in the palace are Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang, and Liu Xie stayed with them to eat together.

Ordinary people thought that the emperor feasted on delicacies from the mountains and seas, but this did not exist in the palace, because Liu Xie did not like luxury and advocated simplicity.

Unless it's a big banquet, it won't be that luxurious.

Even if Liu Xie left Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang to have a meal together today, it would only be three or four side dishes and a soup.

Of course, the cooking method is unique. This is the cooking method that Liu Xie specially taught the chefs in the palace. After all, the cooking methods of this era are too simple.

"Your Majesty's simple food and clothing, and resting with the people, really make me admire.

Sima Yi did not hide his praise for Liu Xie. Although it was flattery, he was telling the truth.

Liu Xie shook his head and said: "Compared with the more people in my Han Dynasty, these dishes are already a luxury."

"I don't know how many years it will take for my Han Dynasty to reproduce the prosperity of the two emperors Wen and Jing after the unification of the world."

The losses of war cannot be restored in a short time.

Especially since the Han Dynasty has experienced such a long period of war.

Population, food, and system all need to be slowly restored, and this will be a very long process.

Zhuge Liang held the soup bowl and smiled slightly when he heard the words: "With your majesty here, I believe that it will take less than ten years for the world to be governed."

"But this alone is not enough. "

Liu Xie sighed. The Han Dynasty was still a long way from prosperity and changes had to be made.

He thought for a long time and felt that it was time to prepare for reform. We couldn't wait until the world was unified before we started.

Hearing this, Sima Yi couldn't help but ask, "I wonder if your majesty has any good ideas to implement?"

Sima Yi was good at guessing people's minds. When he saw Liu Xie's expression, he vaguely guessed what decision the emperor had come up with.

"I do have some ideas."

Liu Xie did not deny it. He put down the wine jar in his hand and said, "I plan to change the policy of emphasizing agriculture and suppressing commerce and support the development of commerce. "

Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi's faces suddenly changed when they heard this.

Improve the status of merchants?

Since ancient times, merchants are the lowest among the four classes of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans.

Because farming is the first priority in any dynasty, merchants are regarded as people who make money by taking shortcuts, so they have always had a low status.

But Liu Xie now said that he would start to improve the status of merchants. This is completely putting the cart before the horse and going against the grain!

Sima Yi said anxiously: "Your Majesty, this move may cause dissatisfaction among the people of the world, and it will have a great impact on the state system."

The correct version is reading! 6=9+Shu_bar first published this novel.

"Merchants do not produce, how can the court support their development?"

Not only Sima Yi opposed, but even Zhuge Liang nodded and said: "What Sima Changshi said is right. If Your Majesty wants to open up policies to support the development of commerce, then the number of people engaged in business will surely increase greatly. By then, agriculture will not be promoted and the country will be in danger! "

Merchants can earn a lot of money without hard work, but the price is a low status.

No matter how rich a merchant is, farmers can look down on him, and merchants will give way to him when they meet on the road.

Although it is said that, in fact, rich merchants are more powerful, but if the people lose even this last bit of superficial superiority, then the country will be in chaos and the consequences will be disastrous.

Liu Xie was not surprised by the opposition of the two, but he did not respond immediately. Instead, he asked: "Zhongda, Kongming, I have a question for you. "

"Which is more beneficial, hiding wealth among the people or hiding wealth in the country? ”

This is a macro topic.

Keeping wealth in the people means that a country's wealth is distributed in the hands of its citizens; keeping wealth in the country means that a country's wealth is all concentrated in the control of the country.

Both sides have advantages and disadvantages.

Keeping wealth in the people: the people of the country are rich and live a rich life, but the country's expenditure and control are not rich.

Keeping wealth in the country: the country controls most of the wealth and can freely dispose of it, but the wealth in the hands of the people is pitifully small or not rich, and the wealth at their disposal is low.

Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi looked at each other, and they all perked up and began to debate this issue.

"I think it is more beneficial to keep wealth in the country."

"Only when the treasury is full can the army be strong and the country be stable and strong, so that the people can rest and recuperate, live and work in peace. If the country is not strong, how can the people be stable? "

Sima Yi was the first to say it.

Keeping wealth in the country is a state that most emperors yearn for, but few dynasties have ever achieved it.

After Sima Yi finished speaking, Zhuge Liang shook his head and said, "If keeping wealth in the country can make the country stable, then I dare to ask if the Qin State is not strong and prosperous?"

"The First Emperor unified the world and controlled the four seas. The Qin State was the strongest in the world, but the people suffered and eventually died in the second generation. "

"Only by keeping wealth in the people and making the people happy can the people be supported. Only in this way can the dynasty continue for a long time. This is the foundation for all ages! "

Zhuge Liang expressed his own views and opinions.

However, Sima Yi was dismissive after listening, because Zhuge Liang's idea was too idealistic and would never work.

The people are rich, but the country has less disposable money. What can it use to strengthen the army and what can it use to control natural disasters and floods in various places?

The country will have the spare capacity to feed back the people after the prosperity of the country. This is the case in all dynasties in history.

However, he did not want to argue with Zhuge Liang in front of the emperor, but looked at Liu Xie and asked carefully: "What does your majesty think?

In his opinion, since the emperor raised this question, he must have made a conclusion in his mind, but just wanted to hear their ideas.

"Whether it is to hide wealth in the country or to hide wealth in the people, I do not agree with both views."

What surprised Sima Yi and Zhuge Liang was that Liu Xie did not support any viewpoint. He only saw him dip his finger in wine and write four big characters on the table.

The people are rich and the country is strong!

After seeing the four words written by the emperor, Sima Yi was stunned and asked in confusion: "The people are rich and the country is strong? Isn't it the country that is rich and the people are strong?"

But if you think about it carefully, the meaning of these four words seems to be inclined to the direction of hiding wealth among the people, but the emperor just said that he does not agree with both statements.

Zhuge Liang's knowledge is broader than Sima Yi. Hearing this, he explained to him: "The people are rich and the country is strong, which comes from the words "The Yue Lord fills the treasury, cultivates the fields, the people are rich, the country is strong, and the people are safe and peaceful" in "Wu Yue Chunqiu·Gou Jian's Return to the Country" written by Zhao Changjun. "

"But I don't know what your majesty means by this?"

Although he knew the source, in his opinion, the four words said by the emperor must not be as simple as he imagined.

Because these two sentences seem to be the same, but the meaning is completely opposite.

What is a country?

The country is the king, the country, and the court. The meaning of a rich country and a strong people is that only when the country is strong can the people become rich.

But the people are rich and the country is strong, but it puts the people before the king and the country, which is close to the meaning of keeping wealth in the people, and is essentially the concept advocated by Mencius.

That is, the people are the most important, the country is second, and the king is the least important.

Although the emperors of all ages have claimed to be people-oriented, in fact, they are based on the country.

What does the emperor mean by these four words?

Sima Yi looked at Zhuge Liang in astonishment when he heard this. He didn't expect Zhuge Liang to know the source of this sentence.

Thinking of this, Sima Yi secretly gritted his teeth and said, "Damn Zhuge Liang, the countryman, his knowledge is so profound..."

"Kong Ming is indeed well-read."

Liu Xie praised Zhuge Liang's profound knowledge, and then said, "If a country wants to be strong, it cannot do without farmers and merchants. Qi is an example."

"During the Spring and Autumn Period, Qi's commercial trade was prosperous and rich, and its national strength was also unmatched; agriculture is the foundation of the country, and commerce is the key to making the people rich and the country strong. We cannot lose one while focusing on the other."

"Only when agriculture and commerce are combined can the country prosper. Over-exalting one side or over-suppressing the other side will eventually be backfired one day. How can we talk about a strong country?"

Liu Xie's words made Zhuge Liang fall into deep thought.

And Sima Yi asked directly, "Your Majesty may have a point...but what does it mean to combine agriculture and commerce?"

"Agriculture is agriculture, commerce is commerce, how can both be combined?"

He had never heard of the theory Liu Xie said. How could agriculture and commerce develop together and be equal to each other?

The two are essentially irreconcilable, because the profits earned from commerce are dozens or hundreds of times greater than those from agriculture, and they are also easier.

Liu Xie smiled slightly and said, "This is exactly what I am going to say next."
