Chapter 281 This is a good thing

So he turned to another: "To go to the Western Regions, it is best to go through Gansu, ancestor, this is what I want to ask, how is the situation in Gansu?"

"I gave Tang He the right to act cheaply, and this time, like Shaanxi, we may be able to win Gansu without bloodshed," Lao Zhu said, "That's right, I can't help but think, then Gansu...we are here...or It's too remote, as long as the name is attached, it won't move too much for the time being."

Zhu Yuan thought for a while and asked, "My ancestor, the garrison is inevitable, right?"

Old Zhu said: "It's not inevitable."

"This can't be done," Zhu Yuan said, "garrisons are a must, this is the bottom line, if you don't garrison, let the local military towns entrenched, you will inevitably suck blood from the interior, and you will be stronger in the future, and you still can't avoid a war. "

"If it's according to your idea," Lao Zhu said, "we still have to beat him up."

"Then fight," Zhu Yuan said, "However, it's not a big fight, let's talk first, see which military town over there is the most dishonest, and kill the chicken to scare the monkeys. This chicken was killed a little bit worse, and the other monkeys saw it , I’m afraid, it’s easier to talk about it.”

Lao Zhu thought for a moment, then nodded: "You... this is also a solution. It is... the army is stationed, and the annual supply of food and fodder is not small. This expenditure is not small."

"The Hexi Corridor is very fertile. The climate and water sources are suitable, so it can be farmed," said Zhu Yuan. Ancestors, in fact, the past dynasties have always said that the borderlands are barren and remote. It should be the Central Plains with a changeable climate, but it is actually the Northeast, which is also a barren and remote place now, but it actually has one of only three fertile black lands in the world."

When Zhu Yuan mentioned the Northeast, Old Zhu straightened up subconsciously, and then laughed to himself, and said again: "This...I can understand, it's what you just said, information science. There is still a lack of information. The local...for the sake of Pay less taxes, it must be hidden."

"That's the truth."

"Since that's the case, I will also follow what you said, killing chickens to make an example to monkeys, and stationing troops in Gansu."

Zhu Yuan nodded again and again: "Now is the beginning of a new era, and the west is well managed. Even without the Central Plains, it is only a production of the Hexi Corridor, which is enough to support an expedition to the Western Regions."

"Oh, don't be in a hurry." Lao Zhu thought of the steam engine and the many ideas surrounding it: "We still have to do it right now."

"Right now... oh, there is one more thing, cement," Zhu Yuan said, roughly talking about the embarrassing things he discovered yesterday, and said: "Now that the adjustments have been made, I guess there will be results soon. With cement, With prefabricated panels, better laboratories can be built, as well as the museum I plan, because this kind of building can discard a lot of wood, so it is not afraid of fire, whether it is a laboratory or a museum, or other important storage in the future. It is best to build all the buildings of objects in this way, and even road construction in the future... the thousands of miles of roads that traverse Daming should also be cement roads."

"The cement road is also far away. You get it out first. Let me take a look. Listen... it is suitable for building a city wall."

Because he has seen the power of gunpowder and the idea of ​​moving the capital at the right time, Lao Zhu is not very interested in building the Jinling City Wall, but it still needs to be built.

"Of course, cement and sand and gravel are mixed together. This is called 'concrete'. The best concrete buildings can't be blown up by explosives," Zhu Yuan said. The 'dangerous bridge' that can be blown up: "However, it is really too early to think about these. Even if it is developed, it can only be produced in small quantities. Large-scale industrialization, it is very important to wait for the steam engine to be applied and use the steam engine to crush materials. It is also a very energy-intensive step. Now we can only use stone rollers and rollers to grind a little bit, and the cost is too high."

Lao Zhu listened carefully, and commented: "They are all good things, so don't be in a hurry."

Zhu Yuan arrived late at first and was talking, and it was already approaching noon in a blink of an eye.

Coincidentally, one of the servants brought lunch over under the order of the empress.On Zhu Yuan's side, according to his adult's instructions, Xieyi also delivered lunch in person.

Lao Zhu waved his hand and got together.

He also said that he wanted to taste what his baby's 23rd generation grandchildren eat every day,
Zhu Yuan didn't think so at all.

If I had known that Ma Shi was thinking so carefully, I would definitely not have made such a fuss.

Cooking for His Majesty the Emperor is still very risky.

I don't want to take this responsibility.

However, in the blink of an eye, a dining room in the courtyard had been changed, and Lao Zhu specially ordered that there was no need to be formal, so there was only one big table, and all kinds of meals were served in a blink of an eye, and it was too late for Zhu Yuan to regret it.

They were seated in order, Zhu Yuan was next to Lao Zhu, and there were eunuchs in the palace and He Xuan who was beside Zhu Yuan and other servants.Others on the table were Zuo Xiang Li Shanchang, Minister of Officials Yang Xian, Minister of Rites Qian Yongren, Minister of Agriculture Kang Maocai and Minister of Medicine Sun Shouzhen, etc. Not all ministers arrived.

Dai Sanchun was also specially called to sit down.

Now that this is the case, Zhu Yuan no longer thinks about it, and just plans to eat more.

In case there is something, together!
The atmosphere at the dinner table was very lively. Everyone expressed their affirmation of the achievements of the medical university. This was sincere. After all, in the future... who can say that they will never need a doctor?

Qian Yongren also talked about the consideration of the Ministry of Rites on the spot. Since penicillin was designated as auspicious, the two main persons in charge, Sun Shouzhen and Dai Sanchun, have no chance of promotion for the time being, but they can be dismissed.

Qian Yongren's statement made the expressions on the dining table different.

Sanguan...it's not so easy to add.

Before and after the founding of the country, those who added scattered officials were mainly military generals with military merits, and a small number of civil servants such as Li Shanchang and Liu Ji.

Some time ago, Zhu Yuan happened to also get a loose official from the first-rank doctor Ronglu, which was to reward Zhu Yuan for taking the lead in making the steam engine model.

Now two people...

Speaking of qualifications, in the sense of penicillin... enough.But, it's not quite enough.

After all, now that there are scattered officials, what about the future?

In case there are bigger and better discoveries, the court will not be very good at rewarding them.

When Sun Shouzhen, who also understood these things in his heart, was about to voluntarily refuse, it was Lao Zhu who made the decision: "This penicillin will benefit all people in the future. Give me the rank, and other things, such as colored satin, silk, silk, money, etc., should not be taken lightly."

Lao Zhu also thought about it.

Let's just say that today, as soon as my baby's 23rd grandson arrived, he took away [-] guan from me.

According to his previous temperament, he must feel distressed and unwilling to take it out.However, after this year's continuous indoctrination, especially in later generations, Lao Zhu has really reversed a lot.

Regarding money and the like, Lao Zhu wants to leave more for his descendants, this is one aspect.But on the other hand, I also know that what should be spent should be spent, and what should be rewarded should be scattered, so we should not be stingy.

As long as the money is spent in the right place, it will become the hearts of the people, the country, and the foundation for the continuation of the Ming Dynasty.Therefore, today's 23rd generation grandson of my baby is actually another tireless persuasion.

For [-] guan, it is a good deal to buy the hearts of the people of Jinling City!
As for the dismissal of Sun Shouzhen and Sun Shouzhen, Lao Zhu's idea is also very simple. On the one hand, the contribution of the two is indeed enough;

It can even be extended to attach importance to many new studies.

After all, since the reform of the ten ministries, Lao Zhu can also feel that the hundred officials... especially the officials of the traditional six ministries are not so friendly to the new few ministries.

The 'Temple of Medical Sages', which has been tossing for some time, can actually be regarded as one of them.

This time... just for two casual officials, it seems that he pays attention to the medical department, other departments, and universities, so he can understand his thoughts.

Do it well, you can't go wrong.

After eating, there is no poisonous hair, very happy.

Old Zhu said that he wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to visit Jinling University next door, but he didn't let Zhu Yuan follow him. Knowing that his precious 23rd grandson couldn't be bothered, he sent him home to rest.

Zhu Yuan didn't leave immediately, and followed Lao Zhu quietly out of the east gate of the University of Medicine, and then turned to the front street.

Free clinics have been launched.

The street was still bustling with people, but under the order of the Tiger Guards who rushed over to maintain order, it seemed orderly.

Moreover, compared to Zhu Yuan's previous situation when he heard crying when he arrived, at present, no matter whether he came to see a doctor or not, the expressions of the people showed anticipation and joy, a very peaceful scene.

Sun Shouzhen also mentioned that it wasn't just the people in the Tai Hospital. Hearing the news, some doctors in the city also came to take part in the free clinic.

After hearing Sun Shouzhen's words, everyone couldn't help feeling a little more emotional.

The most typical of Lao Zhu: "A prosperous age."

In Lao Zhu's imagination, the prosperous age should be like this, everyone is peaceful, everyone does good deeds, old and sick have something to rely on, and everyone has something to support.

Zhu Yuan also had mood swings.

Even though he is a pessimist at heart, Zhu Yuan still likes the scene in front of him very much.

So, after parting with Lao Zhu, Zhu Yuan ordered He Xuan to take out [-] guan from the family and distribute it, and let it be more, so it cannot be compared with his ancestors.

When I got home, I remembered that the tenants in the south of the city were still waiting.

Called to meet and chatted about this year's harvest.

Zhu Yuan knew that this year's spring and summer were not so smooth, but the tenants who recognized him as the head of the house also said that the year was good, and there was no deliberate complaint for rent reduction like last year.

It's really good to think about it.

That's it.

So came the next day, the twenty-fourth day of the twelfth lunar month, the new year.

When Zhu Yuan got up, the mansion had already started to be swept, this is the habit of the young year, to sweep away the dust of the year, to welcome a good year.

Outside the mansion, news also came.

Several things in the medical department have been settled.

The first is to reward Sun Shouzhen, Dai Sanchun and others related to penicillin.

Sun Shouzhen Jiazheng was a second-rank Zishan doctor, and rewarded ten bolts of colored satin, thirty bolts of silk, a set of glass utensils, and 300 taels of silver.

Dai Sanchun Jiazheng Sanpin Jiayi doctor, and rewarded ten pieces of colorful satin, thirty pieces of silk, a set of glass utensils, and 300 taels of silver.

Some other officials of the medical department and even some students including Dai Sanchun's apprentice Lu Sanqi also received rewards.

From this reward, it can be seen that Lao Zhu knew that Dai Sanchun was the first to contribute, but Sun Shouzhen could not be bypassed. Therefore, the ranks of the two officials were different, but the rewards were exactly the same.

That's it...

A set of glassware.

Even though he understood that it was just one or two pieces of glass and one or two pieces of gold, to Zhu Yuan, this thing, sandwiched among all kinds of colorful satins and silks, was really a little out of harmony and very unscrupulous.

After all, how cheap this thing will be hundreds of years later, Zhu Yuan knows very well that it is better to choose crystal.However, at present, if glass and crystal are put together for people to choose, basically only glass will be chosen.

In addition to the rewards, there is also a 'medical sage temple', which is also set.

For the time being, there are seven medical sages, starting from Bian Que, to Qian Yi and Song Ci in Song Dynasty.

It just so happens that the free clinic is still going on, and this incident has been made public, which has aroused some discussions. It is generally believed that there are too few, not as many as the "Three Emperors Temple" advocated by Qianyuan.

You know, it's only a short period of one or two days, because of the free clinic, and because of the good talk about a filial son seeking medical treatment for his father, the medical department and even the medical university, and the penicillin that is so miraculous that His Majesty the Emperor wants to offer it to the Taimiao. It's all straight up.

Let’s say that on the morning of the [-]rd, a dutiful son sent his father to seek medical treatment. He broke his head and touched the adults. The life-threatening leg sore disease has recovered.

Not only did the old man wake up, he had no fever and other symptoms, he even went to the ground the next day, insisted on thanking the life-saving doctor, and came to the gate of the Medical University, telling the benevolence of the court and his own luck, so that it spread quickly.

Even Lao Zhu specially ordered after hearing the news that this matter should be recorded in an article related to penicillin and included in the "Da Ming Monthly".

Good talk.

Enough to go down in the history books.

However, the imperial court could only ignore the opinion among the people that there were too few sages enshrined in the 'Medical Sage Temple'.

The Sanhuang Temple used for comparison, to put it bluntly, is just messing around.

This time... the imperial court's imperial conferment in accordance with the previous court's practice is orthodox. From now on, doctors can also worship with confidence, and then, like Confucianism and military strategists, pursue the pursuit of entering the "Medical Sage Temple" after death as the highest life goal.

What's more, this is just the beginning.

It can even be said that there are more worshipers now, but in the future...there will be fewer seats?
So, this is a good thing!
