Hanging pot to help the world, I just want to live forever

Chapter 252 Hanging Pot, Helping the World

Gu Dan came to the Xia Dynasty Palace again.

This time, he saw two collapsed palaces with his own eyes.

After years of disrepair, the once-prominent Longevity Immortal Palace could not withstand the power of time. Except for the two palaces that collapsed, most of the other palaces had lost their former glory over the years.

But the strange thing is that no matter the maids, guards or eunuchs walking in the palace, they all turned a blind eye to the two collapsed palaces, let alone sent craftsmen to repair them.

When the Xia Dynasty was flourishing, the real imperial palace became more and more dilapidated day by day, and even had potential safety hazards.

Gu Dan found Wang Mang in the imperial study, and Wang Mang was still the same as before, sitting there reviewing memorials like hills, every day.

This time, Gu Dan didn't wait in silence, but said directly: "When I came, I saw that two palaces in the palace had already collapsed. Why is there no one to repair them?"

"Brother Gu?"

Hearing Gu Dan's voice, Wang Mang put down the memorial in his hand, and said with a smile: "It's just two palaces. When the Longevity Immortal Palace was built, Emperor Zong Ming was so extravagant that it was more than enough for the Xia Dynasty palace, and he couldn't live in it at all. End. The two collapsed palaces were of no use at all.

If it is rebuilt, at most it will look better, and it will still be vacant there.I recruited artisans to inquire about it. If you want to repair it, you need at least a hundred gold. A hundred catties of gold is equivalent to the property of ten middle-class families. My virtue is not enough. I am always worried about insulting everyone's expectations. How dare I do such a thing? Woolen cloth? "

Gu Dan listened quietly to Wang Mang's narration, with a look of appreciation in his eyes.

Wang Mang did not disappoint him.

In the 23 years since he succeeded to the throne, Wang Mang has never paid much attention to ostentation, and nothing has been added to the palace, gardens, dogs and horses, clothing, carriage frames, etc.

As long as there are things that are inconvenient to the people, they will be abolished for the convenience of the people. Even if the palace has begun to fade, the palace has collapsed, and it is unsightly, no civil engineering has been used.

For an emperor to be able to do this, it cannot be said that he does not love the people.

Up and down.

Emperor Xia was so simple, the ministers naturally did not dare to enjoy life wantonly, after all, apart from Wang Mang as an example, the Mohists were not vegetarians.

If the Mohist school is the moral benchmark of the Xia Dynasty, then Wang Mang is the benchmark of personal life.

The emperor does not go to enjoy the blessings, which courtier dares to surpass the emperor?
It can be said that the development of the Xia Dynasty to the present is absolutely indispensable for his efforts.

"You did very well."

Gu Dan praised.

"Brother Gu is here, but what's the matter?"

Wang Mang smiled and nodded, then asked.

Gu Dan really does not go to the Three Treasures Palace for nothing. He has always paid little attention to the important affairs of the country, or let them do things. The Xia Dynasty has been established for so many years, and Gu Dan has come to the palace for the third time.

"I am going to do one thing, and I need the help of you, many ministers, and even other countries."

Gu Dan said seriously.

"Oh? Please tell me!"

Wang Mang was quite surprised, and his face became serious.

What Gu Dan wanted to do last time was called "spread into the mu", and the results are obvious to all, and it has greatly reduced the burden on the common people.

It is not a policy that benefits the country and the people, and Gu Dan will never bring it up lightly.

What's more, this time he listened to his words and planned to do it himself to connect several countries together.

Could it be that what we are going to do this time is better than spreading money into the mu?
"I am going to collect medical books from all over the world, solicit travel doctors with real talents and knowledge from all over the world, and jointly compile a summary book on dealing with various diseases. Then I will need the imperial court to set up medical centers in various places to train doctors who can cure diseases and save lives. .”

Gu Dan said.

"Compilation of medical books? Establishment of medical clinics?"

Wang Mang was taken aback.

This... doesn't seem to be a magical strategy, or in other words, there is nothing surprising about this thing, and it seems that it is not worth Gu Dan to do it himself.

This is not surprising.

But, it works great.

"Now that the Xia Dynasty is no longer poor and white, the issue of medical treatment must be taken seriously. I have visited the folks and found that if the people in the ten miles and eight villages are sick, they seldom go to the pharmacy to see a doctor, but use various 'folk remedies' Most of the folk remedies are useless, not to mention for the time being, many diseases, once delayed, will become more serious, until there is no cure.

That's not to mention, rich people can go to pharmacies for diagnosis and treatment, and the level of doctors among them is also mixed. They don't have any experience in many diseases, and they can only treat dead horses as living horse doctors. Whether they can be cured depends on fate.

Most importantly, the midwife!Nowadays, the "experienced" midwives in the villages are still used to deliver the children in the folks, but their experience in this kind of thing is only summed up by individuals, and it is about real human lives, so a complete set of suitable and detailed The method is popularized, so that the safety of folk children at birth will be more guaranteed. "

Gu Dan had already prepared a draft in his heart on the way here, so he directly expressed his thoughts at this time.

Compiling medical books and setting up medical clinics are neither the first innovations since ancient times, nor are they unique ideas.

But the people who did this before had too little energy.

They are the most, and they can only change a small area.

Although the emperors of various countries are not fools, they always have various concerns and reasons, and have never implemented this law in the world.

But care is different.

If he is determined to do it, the entire Xia Dynasty will have to move, and even countries such as Daqi will have to follow the lead and dare not disobey.

What's more, what he wants is to benefit the people and the country. It just needs some money from the treasury. In the end, he will spend the money on himself. What is there to resist?
Grandmaster wants to do something good for your people, how dare you have an opinion?

"If it's just compiling medical books, it's not too difficult, it's just a waste of time."

Wang Mang thought about it very seriously, but he didn't immediately nod his head in agreement just because the person in front of him was Gu Dan. He thought hard and focused, and then said: "It's very difficult to set up medical clinics in various places. Speaking of how to train so many doctors, just talking about the medicinal materials needed by each medical center is a huge expense.

As Gu Ge said, many people are sick and don't have the money to go to see a doctor, and they don't even dare to go to see it.Do they have money to go to the medical center opened by the country?If you don't charge money, the expense may be too big to bear. If you charge money, it seems that it is just a window dressing, and no one cares about it. "

Medical treatment costs money.

So the folks basically don't treat minor illnesses, and it's useless to treat serious illnesses, or they can't be cured.

It is for this reason that there are very few medical clinics in various places, and most of them are barefoot doctors.

"The real expense of the medical center is actually medicinal materials."

Gu Dan himself has worked in the Tai Hospital for more than ten years. Although he is only affiliated, he also knows the twists and turns, "But in fact, medicinal materials are not as expensive as everyone thinks. The reason why they seem expensive is because The vast majority of medicinal materials are wild.

As long as those cherished medicines are not used, most of the medicines can be cultivated by themselves. As long as the quantity is enough, the cost will naturally continue to drop. That's why it takes the whole country to work hard, not as it is now, The medicinal materials are basically dug in the mountains by themselves, and the cost is naturally not the same. "

Of course, there are such things as medicine fields in this era.

But very few.

And they are usually privately owned and used to support the dignitaries.

If you really want to talk about a large number of medicine fields, there is no one!

After all, the medical center is actually a public welfare thing. If the money is too much, people will not go to the doctor at all. If the money is too little, it will not make money, so no one has been doing it.

"What's more, I didn't say that all the medicinal materials are free of charge. Isn't it a good thing for the common people to spend very little money to treat some not serious diseases? But some more precious medicinal materials need to be used, and the common people have no money for the time being. During the medical treatment, they can be asked to sign an IOU, and it will take several years to repay it.

If the time is not up or if you are unwilling to change, then you can let people go to work to pay for it. The construction of a country always needs people. As long as the people are still there, there will be no loss, but it will make people more Have a sense of belonging. "

Gu Dan has already considered this point.

When the most basic food and clothing are met, there will be more things to do, which is related to the living standards of a country's citizens.

And it is really related to the longevity that Gu Dan can obtain.

Not much else to say, even with this move, he can extend the lifespan of each of the people of the Xia Dynasty by one or two years, and the lifespan that can be harvested is huge, and it is not a problem to fill up the green wood transformation formula!

In this way, the national policy has not been moved rashly, the fundamentals have not been touched, and the eyes of immortals will not be attracted, and the people's livelihood can be greatly improved.

In the final analysis, because of the existence of immortals, many things are afraid to mention, for fear of using too much force, not only will not let the world live better, but it will attract attention after the return of the immortals, causing a catastrophe. That's why he was so cautious.

It is precisely because the medical center is nothing special, it is nothing more than opening more, which is not an extraordinary move, but the rewards are great, that is one of the fundamental reasons why Gu Dan chose it.

"That's it. You can try it. Even if you can't make ends meet, as long as it doesn't bring too much burden, Xia Dynasty can bear it."

Wang Mang still nodded, success or failure, you have to work hard, Gu Dan finally stood up and wanted to do something after so many years, of course he couldn't stop it.

"That's one, and there's another thing."

After talking about what he was going to do, Gu Dan said again: "Lin Fan, you know about the death of that Mohist, right?"

"Brother Gu also heard about this?"

"There are a lot of folks talking about this, and I'm not deaf, so how could I not hear it?"

Gu Dan shrugged, "How are you going to do it?"

"It's about Mohism, you shouldn't ask me, you have to ask the national teacher."

Wang Mang reluctantly avoided the question.

This matter, no matter whether you nod or shake your head, it is wrong.

It is wise to keep silent.

The imperial court also has this attitude, allowing the people to discuss how they want, but they just don't give accurate words and let everyone speak freely.

"what"

Gu Dan laughed, "You all don't want to mention it."

Wang Mang just blinked his eyes innocently, looking at Gu Dan with helplessness on his face.

The Mo family was an organization founded by Mo Qiu. The Xia Dynasty established the country and borrowed too much of Mo Qiu's fame.

Now even if the problems of the Mo family are discovered, who would dare to touch them?

It can only be delayed, and only when the Mo family can't bear it, will someone do it.

But there is no doubt that it is not yet that time, and the Mo family is not so fragile, and now it is just a wind direction.

"If you don't mention it, I'll bring it up. Let someone call Qin Lisheng over. It's time to have a good talk about the Mo family's problems."

Gu Dan said.

"it is good!"

Upon hearing this, Wang Mang clapped his hands excitedly.

It's not that he has any opinion on Qin Lisheng, but the Mohist school is indeed not suitable for the current situation of the Xia Dynasty.

At the beginning of the country's establishment, there was a serious shortage of manpower, and the supplies were all based on relief and funding from other countries. The promotion of Mohism's morality and virtues could greatly stabilize the people's hearts and reduce the cost of control.

But now there is no longer a shortage of manpower, and the country has become rich.

But the ten principles of the Mohist school have not changed in the slightest.

Compared with twenty years ago, Mo Zhe's behavior style is still exactly the same even though a group of people have changed!
Many times, when Wang Mang wanted to do something, he had to consider the existence and influence of the Mohism.

It can only be said that success is also Mo Qiu, and defeat is also Mo Qiu.

Because of Mo Qiu's relationship, especially now that he is not around, no one in the court can compete with Mo Qiu's reputation. Qiu is more forward-looking?
It was even more impossible for them to persuade Qin Lisheng, and it was impossible for Gong Shang to pass, and Xun Ke had to step back a little bit.

Only Gu Dan can solve this problem.

But he stayed in the small courtyard and didn't care about things, of course Wang Mang couldn't bother him. Now that it was Gu Dan who brought it up on his own initiative, why don't you hurry up and do it, what are you waiting for?

Gu Dan thought for a while, and then said: "Call Xun Ke and Xiaoying over, I also have something to explain to them."

"No problem, let's go to another palace to talk, this place is small."

Wang Mang got up, summoned the guards to give some instructions, and said quickly.

"Why, are you afraid that the place to fight is not spacious enough?"

Gu Dan joked.

"Where are you talking?"

The corner of Wang Mang's mouth twitched, "I'm mainly afraid that the giant will be emotional."

"Qiuli wins. Qinli wins."

Speaking of this name, Gu Dan also felt a little emotional.

After Mo Qiu left, the Mo family's reputation has not declined, and they still have the same demeanor as before. It is not easy to achieve this.

There is no doubt that Qin Lisheng lived up to the name of Mohist giant.

Although in the past 23 years, I have never heard of him making such great achievements as Mo Qiu, which deserves to be commended by the National People's Congress, but as the saying goes, a good fighter has no great achievements.

After Mo Qiu, the guy who served as the Mohist tycoon did carry the banner of the Mohist.

It's just that now, this banner has taken root too deeply, and even has problems.

He wants to hang the pot to help the world, not to cure one person's illness, but to heal a country, the whole world's illness.

The Mo family is also sick.
