Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 2066, life must have goals, and the court must have direction 2
In fact, Liu Jin mentioned the matter of improving the Ming Dynasty's medical system before, but it has not been highly valued all the time, only in the matter of newborns.

At that time, under the auspices of Liu Jin, the imperial court conducted unified training for all the midwives and stable women in Daming, and popularized some related basic knowledge.

The effect is still quite good. Daming's newborn mortality rate has been greatly reduced, and many frequent mistakes in the past have also been greatly reduced.

For example, Bai Jiaxuan gave birth to many children in Bailuyuan in the movie of later generations, but half of the children did not even survive the first seven days.

Because of the ignorance of the midwife and the stable woman, they used rusty scissors to cut the umbilical cord, and as a result, they contracted tetanus, which disappeared within a few days.

Such a phenomenon was very common in that age of ignorance, and many newborns died because of the ignorance of these stable women and midwives.

In the era when knowledge was not popularized and disseminated, even the emperor's son would inevitably encounter such things, let alone the children of ordinary people.

Feeling this, at that time, under Liu Jin's strong support, a unified training, education, and study were carried out for midwives, stable women, and the like throughout Daming.

The effect is also great, and the effect is also obvious. The mortality rate of newborns in Ming Dynasty has been greatly reduced.

But this is far from enough. If a person wants to grow from a baby to an adult, he will have to experience many, many times, among other things, such as colds, fevers, and pneumonia.

Without perfect medical care and more developed medical technology, the mortality rate in this process is very high.

In later generations, until the 20th century, after the development of human science and technology to a certain extent, and the great advancement of medical science and technology, the global population ushered in a big explosion of growth and development. In just a few decades, the population growing at an unprecedented rate.

Compared to later generations, the population of Daming is insignificant at all, it can be said to be very, very small.

Liu Jin attached great importance to this matter, and mentioned it to Emperor Hongzhi many times, and also did some related work.

For example, the promotion of medical schools and hospitals, the establishment of hospitals in the provincial capitals of Ming Dynasty, and the promotion of many new medical technologies.

But for the entire Ming Dynasty, this is still far from enough. At the very least, it is necessary to popularize new hospitals to the county and township levels.

This requires the power of the imperial court to vigorously promote, and Liu Jin alone cannot do it.

Especially the establishment and development of the medical school requires the power of the imperial court to do this. Among other things, it is necessary to establish a medical school in several provinces to train more medical talents, doctors and so on. have to.

Although the new medicine has been developed for more than 20 years, there are only two medical schools, the Daming Medical College and the Royal Medical College, and the talents and doctors that are cultivated every year are limited after all.

Ming also needs more medical schools, more medical talents and doctors.

"Hmm~"

Emperor Hongzhi took Liu Jin's memorial and read it carefully.

Liu Jin's memorials are very different from those of other officials. They are concise and clear, and they like to use data to speak, which makes people convincing. They are not like other officials who always show off their literary talent and knowledge. A lot of crap.

Looking at the large amount of data listed in Liu Jin Memorial, Emperor Hongzhi's expression became serious.

As the Son of Heaven, Emperor Hongzhi was concerned about farming, the invasion of external enemies, and matters above the court.

It is rare to talk about things like medical technology and systems, because these don't seem to be very important to Ming's rule.

That is to say, Liu Jin will care about these things, mentioning these things, so that Emperor Hongzhi can see different Daming from different angles, and also know that as the emperor, there are many, many things to do, not just the ones he knew before. .

"Sure enough, we're going to do something again."

As for the other ministers, none of them were surprised.

When Liu Jin was around, he would have to make a fuss almost every now and then, always doing things that no one could think of.

Now that he is the chief assistant of the cabinet again, he still has the same style as before.

What is the medical system, and what impact does it have on these ministers above the court?
The medical technology in the Beijing-Tianjin area is well developed, as long as there are more hospitals, it is enough for everyone to see a doctor conveniently, so do we have to spread these things to the whole Ming Dynasty?

How much money would that cost?
How many things do you have to do?

Wouldn't it be nice to be an official comfortably?

You have to keep tossing and tossing.

Of course, this is what everyone thinks in their hearts, but you dare not say it, otherwise Emperor Hongzhi will definitely let you go home to retire.

Emperor Hongzhi attached great importance to these things, such as high-yield crops that can greatly increase food production, new farming machines, farming methods, etc., these Emperor Hongzhi attached great importance to.

This is also an important reason why Daming's grain production can increase greatly now, because Daming's immigrants use mechanized farming methods on a large scale, which greatly improves the efficiency of farming and greatly increases the overall grain production.

This is related to the major event of Ming's population growth. For Emperor Hongzhi who loved the people like his son, this must be a major event, and he will definitely attach great importance to it.

"Everyone, take a look."

Emperor Hongzhi read it quickly, and as usual passed the memorial to everyone for reading.

Everyone quickly read it, and each of them started to think about it.

"According to Mr. Liu's plan, my Ming Dynasty will at least need to build thousands of hospitals, and the number of doctors and the like will be very large."

"In addition, at least ten new medical schools need to be built to train relevant medical talents and doctors. This cost is not small."

After Yang Yiqing read it, he thought for a while and said.

"It really costs a lot, and it can't be completed in one or two years. It will take five or six years, or even more than ten years."

Yang Tinghe also followed suit.

"Life must have goals, and the court must have direction."

"Throughout the dynasties, dynasties have changed. It seems that each dynasty is repeating the story of the previous dynasty, and it can never escape the pattern of the cycle of chaos."

"The reason why my Ming Dynasty can have the prosperity and prosperity it has today is because the road and development direction my Ming Dynasty is taking today is different from any previous dynasty."

"We pay more attention to people's livelihood. We continue to immigrate, open up more arable land, and develop technology at the same time. We have researched various tools and technologies that can greatly improve productivity."

"That's why I, the Ming Dynasty, can be richer. I can have endless food, endless new clothes, and live in a strong and warm new house."

"This is all in the past. The emperor and the princes in the court have a clear direction of development and efforts. They always take every little bit of the people to heart, and work hard to make the people live a better life."

Upon hearing this, Liu Jin smiled and said.

"Today's Ming Dynasty is already invincible in the world, strong and prosperous, but we can't just be satisfied with everything in front of us, we should also have more long-term development goals and vision."

"Looking at Daming from different angles will naturally lead to different gains, and we know that we still have many, many things to do and work hard."

"The development of the medical system is only one aspect. It is an aspect to reduce the mortality rate of our Daming population and improve the health level."

"Our Ming Dynasty is prosperous and prosperous, with a vast land and few people. If we can have a larger population, the Golden Continent, Australia, and other places outside the customs can be further developed. My Ming's overseas colonies and vassal states can also benefit from it."

"Not only in terms of medical technology, but also in food, transportation, housing, education and many other aspects."

"In terms of grain, if we hadn't vigorously developed agricultural machinery and insisted on immigrating outside the customs, would our Ming Dynasty have been able to produce so much grain during the severe drought in the north last year?"

"But is that enough?"

"Obviously not enough. Our population will continue to grow in the future. We will need more food and more arable land. These require more agricultural machinery and better technology."

"The imperial court has many things to do and great responsibilities. It is not just that the country can be governed well by virtue of benevolence, righteousness, morality and filial piety. Only then can Daming be truly prosperous and strong.”

Hearing Liu Jin's words, everyone nodded one after another, and each of them began to think.

It has always been said that the country should be benevolent, righteous and moral, and rule the world with filial piety. It seems that if these things are really done, the world will be peaceful, and the Ming Dynasty will be prosperous and strong.

But is this really the case?
All dynasties and dynasties have done this, but in the end they are not all the same. Is it the fate of reincarnation?

Now Liu Jin analyzes these and divides them into aspects to do, such as agriculture, transportation, industry, economy, taxation, military, medical care and so on.

Then in every aspect, we will continue to work hard and continue to develop, and finally this will slowly lead to the prosperity of Daming today.

Now the prosperity of Daming far surpasses any previous dynasties. The people are rich and the society is stable. Even if there was a severe drought and plague last year, the entire Ming Dynasty is still stable. It will not be like the previous dynasties. Once there is any disaster, Immediately, the people were deprived of their lives, the land was full of hunger, and the flames of war were everywhere.

All this is not the result of hard work in all aspects.
