Emperor Ming Dynasty

Chapter 764 "Shaowu Medical Book" Completed

However, Zhang Keyou would not let them go.

Although the consumption of money and food cannot be calculated, there is one thing that cannot be avoided, and that is the accounts.

That is, the accounts of the spoils.

Many people feel that corrupt officials are stupid, they have already been greedy for money, so why do they have to pay for it?Isn't this giving someone a handle?
But in fact, making an account book is an inevitable demand.

For example, the Guizhou fraud case involved hundreds of officials, large and small, and it was extremely complicated to divide up such a huge amount of money and food.

The size and importance of official positions are different, and the money to be divided is also different.

If you don't classify them, forget someone, or neglect someone, it will form a loophole and lead to failure.

Especially in officialdom, you can't make a single mistake about what level and background you need to score, otherwise you will easily offend people.

What's more, the existence of a ledger also binds everyone to the same carriage, and everyone will die if they die, so it will naturally be airtight.

Even, in the Qing Dynasty, the ledger even involved the key to progress.

When a new official takes office, it forms a rule that he must spend money to buy the previous ledgers from his predecessor, especially the ledgers for gifts.

Ledgers are official rules.

When the boss celebrates his birthday, other colleagues will give [-], but someone doesn't know the rules and only gives [-], does he still want to make progress?Or send two thousand, do you want a colleague relationship?

Moreover, this fraud, Zhang Keyou even suspected that it was related to the deficit of the upper and lower prefectures and counties of Guizhou.

To make up for the shortfall, how much is moved in one amount, and how much should be made up in another amount, and sometimes even more accounting is required to prevent omissions.

So, where is the ledger?
Zhang Keyou set his sights on everyone in Guizhou, and the first one he targeted was the chief envoy of Guizhou.

He controls the money and food, and all the money in the province must pass through him. Even if it does not involve corruption, even if it is daily bookkeeping, it is a great help.

"It seems that only His Majesty can help..."

While he was in a hurry to investigate the case, the city of Beijing became lively.

It turned out that with the approach of summer, the emperor was planning to move again and moved to live in Xishan.

Although the huge Beijing has only lost a few people, it seems empty because of it.

Officials also breathed a sigh of relief.

In the big case in Guizhou, there were hundreds of palm print officers involved. Who doesn't have relatives, friends, colleagues and classmates?
A lot of relatives.

As long as the emperor skips over, it is considered to be over, and as time fades, major events will become smaller, and minor events will become nothing.

However, for Zhu Yixi, who loves vanity, there is a great good thing, which makes him feel a little happy.

The "Shaowu Medical Book", which has been compiled for several years, has finally been completed.

After four years, hundreds of doctors at home and abroad involved more than [-] prescriptions, many of which were not covered by the Compendium of Materia Medica.

For example, cinchona cream for malaria, vaccinia, are included.

It covers most of the daily pathologies and is highly applicable.

And following the emperor's will, those unrealistic and fallacious prescriptions were deleted and verified, thus forming this great medical book with 1 million words and [-] pictures.

With such a large scale, the manpower and material resources it consumes cannot be underestimated.

Moreover, medical books set a precedent in Chinese history:
All the prescriptions have been tested before they are truly included in the book.

In other words, the ignorant and flawed prescriptions in the Compendium of Materia Medica have also been tested on animals and patients to be excluded.

The recorded ones are all effective.

This can be said to have set off a huge wave in the Chinese medicine circle, which values ​​theory.

And for those doctors who choose to compile medical books, this field experiment is very significant for the progress of their medical skills.

The people in the capital also benefited from this, free doctors, free soups, although some casualties were unavoidable, but they were much better than before.

The birth rate of children is much higher.

The emperor's family also benefited a lot.

The appearance of doctors in pediatrics and gynecology has overcrowded the imperial hospital. Among the children born in recent years, very few died.

The Tai Hospital reported: "This compilation of medical books cost more than 300,000 yuan in silver, and more than [-] people, court ladies, and eunuchs were involved in the experiment."

"Just the soup and medicine will consume all the stock in the inner warehouse..."

"A little money is nothing."

Zhu Yixi waved his hand, quite excited.

The compilation of Shaowu medical books is visible to the naked eye for the promotion of Chinese medicine.

It is conceivable that as long as medical books are published all over the country, countless people will save their lives and heal the wounded.

Even if it's just the city of Beijing, among those poor people who are rescued, who doesn't say good things about the emperor?

"I intend to set up a hospital."

Zhu Yixi said in a deep voice: "Daming County, Fucheng, hundreds of thousands, as long as there is an official medical center, they can see a doctor for free without charging fees."

"In this way, quack doctors in the world will kill themselves, and the common people will have a chance."

As for the cost of soup and medicine, there is nothing I can do to help.

Free medical care cannot be done in such a random way, but it is a good thing that can be implemented to send good doctors to the people.

The top and bottom of the cabinet support this, because it is a benevolent policy, and it does not cost much.

A few doctors, a medical clinic, and the county government are very easy to support.

However, the cabinet did have opinions on the publication of "Shaowu Medical Book".

What the emperor meant was to distribute free of charge to major medical centers so that common people could borrow and read medical books.

But the cabinet disagreed, and the cost was too great.

Medical books, especially those with millions of words, almost require a whole carriage to pull them.

If woodblock printing is used, there are at most tens of thousands of copies, but tens of thousands of blocks are involved.

The cost is too high.

Moreover, there are many albums, which are difficult to print.

Therefore, the cabinet thinks that it is better to hand it over to the scholars of the Imperial College to copy it.

Organize them and let them manually copy and draw, so that not only the cost is low, but also a group of doctors can be cultivated indirectly.

That's how the Yongle Grand Ceremony came about.

"Aren't the supervisors making yellow books in various places? How can they have time to get this thing?"

The emperor vetoed it: "When they have free time, they will have the Year of the Monkey."

"For an atlas, draw a board and print it directly."

"In the case of engraving and printing..."

Zhu Yixi thought about it, woodblock printing is too backward!

You can use movable lead type, which is not only fast, but also cheap.

The publication of Shaowu medical books can also improve printing.

Speaking of Shaowu medical books, Zhu Yixi suddenly thought of the Yongle Grand Ceremony.

The number of books is even larger. If the Shaowu medical books are pulled by horse-drawn carts, then the Yongle Encyclopedia must be transported by boat.

Therefore, the universal value of this book is very low, and it was only collected in Beijing and Nanjing as the symbol of Emperor Yongle's cultural governance for later generations to admire.

If there is a fire, the asylum performance is too low.

"I have to transcribe a few more copies of the Yongle Encyclopedia."

Zhu Yixi said suddenly, which surprised everyone.

The emperor really wanted to figure it out.

"Your Majesty, the Yongle Grand Ceremony is too big." Zhao Shu said helplessly.

"Yongle Dadian" is only suitable for collection.
