In addition to planning and preparing students and candidates who were harvesting like leeks in January, Li Tai was also concerned about the docks and docks that had become idle with the arrival of winter.
Because it has been extremely cold this year, some areas of the Weishui River have frozen. The impact of this has naturally caused the terminal that Du Chuke has been responsible for gradually declining.
To be honest, Li Tai had never thought about the freezing of the Weishui River. Especially the ice was not just a little bit frozen, but large shoals of the river were covered with ice and snow. At least it would be impossible for ships to pass through.
Already.
Li Tai thought of skating, but there were not enough dogs, so he could only use a small number of sleds to keep the waterway running.
Other cities in Guanzhong no longer go to Gaoling by water, but by land.
The ice on the river actually has a huge impact on the people who rely on the docks for work and food.
Because there are no jobs, for these people who work for a day and eat for a day, there is no food to eat.
Others don’t know the potential of these proletarians. Doesn’t Li Tai also know it?
Fortunately, although the arrival of winter has brought many problems to me, it is not without some solutions.
For example, a coal mine still needs manpower to dig coal, and some people may need to walk. For example, a school is preparing to expand and needs construction workers. If this is not possible, we can continue to build the road from Gaoling to Chang'an.
Don't think that you can rest when winter comes. For the working class, there is no concept of winter hiding.
Li Tai was just the one doing the planning, Ma Zhou was really doing the work. After hearing Li Tai's order, Ma Zhou was really spinning.
Looking at the dark circles gradually appearing in his eyes, it was obvious that the sudden cold wind had increased Ma Zhou's workload.
But even so, Li Tai still felt that the manpower was somewhat insufficient.
Digging coal requires manpower, building roads requires manpower, farming requires manpower, and when the ice and snow melts next spring, the docks will also need manpower...
The only good thing is that I have no plans to expand the breeding farm, so the manpower here is sufficient.
The number of ducks and other poultry in the entire poultry farm is maintained at about 130,000.
Li Tai did not increase the size of the farm, but chose to maintain it.
The arrival of winter this time has had an impact on my farm, but the impact is not too great.
As for the current scale of only about 130,000, it's not that Li Tai doesn't want to continue to expand the farm, but that there is not enough feed!
Agricultural development is the basis for the development of animal husbandry. Without the prosperity of agriculture, it is difficult for animal husbandry to scale up.
Because if there is not enough breeding feed to feed, let alone the plague or the plague, it is not hygienic, and the scale of breeding alone will be impossible to increase.
Why the ancient grassland peoples could only live a life of chasing water and grass was because the local grasslands were not enough to eat.
Why is modern animal husbandry so developed? Because modern pastures are mainly for cattle and sheep, and feeding cattle and sheep depends on feed!
Li Tai also encountered the same problem. One hundred and thirty thousand poultry feeds was already the limit of Li Tai's supply. No more grains would be able to sustain it.
Li Tai raises some poultry just to leave seeds for future expansion of production capacity.
Therefore, before there is a large-scale increase in grain production, Li Tai only requires the development of animal husbandry to develop to the current level.
As for setting a higher standard, it’s not that Li Tai doesn’t want it, but that the conditions don’t allow it.
As the same saying goes, when everything develops to a certain extent, everyone will find that in the end it is food, energy and basic materials that restrict the development of things.
Just as Li Tai was summarizing something, a servant came to the Agricultural University and hurriedly found Li Tai and said:
"After meeting the King of Yue, His Majesty announced that Sun Simiao, the miracle doctor, would go to Cai Guogong's residence to diagnose Cai Guogong!"
"What's wrong with Duke Cai Guo?" Li Tai was a little surprised when he heard what the chamberlain said, and said to the chamberlain.
"Cai Guogong was seriously ill yesterday and couldn't even go to court today. The sage sent an imperial physician to consult today, but they couldn't find anything, so he asked Divine Doctor Sun to go and have a look!" The servant quickly answered Li Tai.
This news.
Li Tai also gave the chamberlain a red envelope, and then immediately arranged a carriage and asked the chamberlain to pick up Sun Simiao.
"Although I know that Du Ruhui seemed to have died of illness in the early days of Zhenguan, could it be that he was ill today?"
When Li Tai heard this, he felt somewhat heavy that his life was free. Although Du Ruhui didn't seem to like him very much, as he was such an elite of the Tang Dynasty who could become a prime minister, Li Tai still hoped that Du Ruhui would be safe and sound.
.
Li Tai thought about this and immediately approached Ma Zhou. Ma Zhou looked at Li Tai with a hint of helplessness in his eyes with slightly dark circles. What happened again? He had been busy for a long time and had no time to drink.
!
"Dong Cai Guo suddenly contracted a serious illness, and the old immortal was ordered to go to see a doctor for Cai Guo Gong!" Li Tai looked at Ma Zhou and said.
"Cai Guogong is suddenly seriously ill?!" Ma Zhou suddenly woke up when he heard this and sighed,
"The times of Zhenguan were difficult, but fortunately there were two good ministers in the court, "Fang Miao Du Duan", to assist the saint.
Duke Cai Guo is infected with a serious disease, which is not good news for us in the Tang Dynasty!"
"I plan to arrange a physical examination for all officials, teachers and students in Gaoling area to check their physical condition!" Li Tai looked at Ma Zhou and said, "Especially since you hang out with fine wine all day long and often go to Xiangmanlou, you must
has a problem!"
"No need!" Ma Zhou couldn't help but struggle a few times after hearing Li Tai's words.
"I think I'm fine, and Liu Shenwei left with the medical camp.
No matter what, we have to wait until Liu Shenwei comes back and let him handle this matter!"
"Indeed, it would be better to leave this matter to Liu Shenwei." Li Tai touched his chin and said,
"Before the New Year, you arrange a day for the old immortal to come and see the persons in charge of all the important positions in our Gaoling area.
Only when the old god comes to check you in person and confirms that nothing is wrong with you will you be allowed to get back to work!"
"Okay..." Ma Zhou looked a little reluctant. After all, he was somewhat taboo about practicing medicine.
But Ma Zhou also knew that this was Li Tai's kindness, and he agreed to it even if he said he could not refuse.
At this time, Ma Zhou was thinking that if he felt uncomfortable, he might also drag a group of people into the water along the way, and said with a serious face:
"Your Majesty, if you ask Gao Ling to inspect it now, it's just Xiaoren. As the king of Yue, your Majesty should focus on the overall situation and show your great benevolence!"
"What do you mean?" Li Tai looked at Ma Zhou's words, which seemed to make sense.
"Because of Cai Guogong's affairs, you can write to His Majesty and ask the Imperial Medical Office to conduct a physical examination on all civil and military officials of the entire dynasty.
As the saying goes, it’s never too late to remedy the situation. Cai Guogong’s incident happened today, but the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty haven’t discovered it yet!”
Ma Zhou said to Li Tai, "To put it into detail, it seems that General Zuo Wuwei is often sick, and he needs to be seen more often!"
From Ma Zhou's point of view, it was nothing to mention this kind of thing. After Du Ruhui's incident, Li Shimin should be very happy to inspect the officials of the imperial court. It was not a big deal to check on him along the way!
As for the court officials, seeing that Du Ruhui, who is usually very energetic and works overtime day and night, suddenly fell seriously ill, wouldn't he want to check to see if there is anything wrong with his body? At least this has good benefits in calming people's hearts.
"Yes! Yes! Yes!" Li Tai said after hearing Ma Zhou's words, "What you said makes perfect sense!
I think the second step of the medical system’s plan can just be rolled out with the help of this incident!”
"Huh?" Ma Zhou couldn't help but have questions on his face when he heard Li Tai's words. He always felt that Li Tai seemed to be filling up a lot of things in his head!
Ma Zhou knew a thing or two about Li Tai's plan to become a doctor, but the more specific project was in charge of the medical department, so Ma Zhou did not understand it in depth.
But the general goal is to improve the status of doctors and create a benign medical system.
So Ma Zhou didn't understand at all what inspiration Li Tai got from him.
Li Tai didn't say much. After saying goodbye to Ma Zhou, he went to write the memorial.
This matter was somewhat different from the original urgency of reporting to Li Jing's military camp. There was no need for Li Tai to rush directly to Chang'an overnight.
Moreover, Chang'an is afraid that everyone is concerned about Du Ruhui's illness. If he is too attentive, he may be asked to hand over the ministers.
For the censor, sometimes the participation is just with the intention of being idle. The participation itself is just the censor's sense of presence, and he may not really want to pull anyone down.
After all, censors also have work targets. The kind of censor who doesn't say a word will be dismissed.
After Li Tai finished writing the memorial, he then wrote a manual on the physical examination of officials and attached it to the memorial. The memorial was sent to Chang'an the next day. This matter took time to ferment.
However, it was obvious that Du Ruhui's illness was serious this time. After Sun Simiao went to Du Ruhui's mansion, he did not come back for three days in a row.
On the fourth day, there was no news about Sun Simiao, but Li Shimin summoned him to go to Tai Chi Hall.
Li Tai did not dare to be negligent at all, and immediately asked Lu Anshou to drive his ox cart towards Chang'an City.
Sitting in the bullock cart, Li Tai clearly felt that the atmosphere in Chang'an had become different, and it could be said to be full of joy.
Li Tai did not go directly to Tai Chi Hall, but went back to Prince Yue's Mansion to change his clothes and sort out the information along the way.
At this time, Li Tai learned that Li Jing and Li Shiji had joined forces to successfully block Jieli Khan in Baidao.
In this battle, not only Jieli Khan was captured, but even the pseudo-Sui king was captured. Now it was just a matter of rushing to retaliate. After a while, these prisoners would be sent over.
"That's a good thing!" Li Tai breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this.
But after thinking about it, Li Shiji did indeed defeat Jieli Khan in this war in history, but Jieli Khan managed to escape with a dozen of his cronies.
When he arrived on the grassland, he gathered 50,000 new soldiers and horses, and then sued for peace with the Tang Dynasty in a bluffing manner.
But Li Jing decisively stabbed Jieli Khan in the back while he was suing for peace with the Tang Dynasty, and then captured Jieli Khan.
Now I can save this plot and end the war early. It should be my butterfly that affects this war.
When he thought of this, Li Tai felt a bit proud and clenched his fist. It's not enough. He needs to be stronger!
Li Tai was well prepared and came to the Tai Chi Palace. At this moment, Li Shimin was naturally radiant. Being able to defeat the Eastern Turks and capture Jieli Khan was the best gift for Li Shimin in the New Year.
As for the other ministers, they are also extremely happy. After all, war is too uncontrollable.
But now from the dispatch of troops to the end of the war, it is really an unexpected surprise that Li Jing can end the war before the New Year.
Originally, they thought they would have to bite the bullet and supply the army with food and grass for a year or two, but now, they feel that the end of this war will not affect the next spring plowing, and it is really valuable.
"Qingque is here!" Seeing Li Tai's arrival, Li Shimin was also full of joy and said: "I have read your memorial about medical examinations and feel it is very necessary, so I asked you to explain your thoughts in detail.
."
"No!" Li Tai replied respectfully to Li Shimin, "Only when Qingque saw that Sun Miracle Doctor was announced, did he know that Cai Guogong was suddenly seriously ill and had to go to work to recuperate. But was this a coincidence or inevitable? So
This suggestion was made.”
Zhang Xuansu stood up after hearing Li Tai's words and said, "The King of Yue believes that what happened to Cai Guogong is not a coincidence!"
After hearing this, the atmosphere in the entire hall suddenly changed, and everyone looked at Li Tai.
Li Tai answered calmly: "Yes and no! When the Great Sui Dynasty collapsed and the world was in chaos, Aye fought in the north and south to rectify the country. People of your generation suffered hardships and injuries, and the physical wear and tear was unimaginable.
Cai Guogong suddenly fell ill, presumably due to hidden injuries in his body and overwork.
Therefore, I wrote a letter and proposed that the Imperial Medical Office conduct physical examinations on the imperial officials every year.
Once in summer and once in winter to ensure that the body of the court ministers has no hidden diseases.
At the same time, medical institutions were established in prefectures and counties, and even local officials could still enjoy the care from the imperial court.
After all, only when the important ministers of the imperial court are in good health can the imperial court operate in an orderly manner, and business affairs will not be delayed."
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other. They didn't expect such an arrangement.
But if you think about it strictly, there is no problem with this matter. Wei Zheng stood up and said,
"The advice of the King of Yue is a good thing for both the country and private life. Saint, please give an order to the Imperial Medical Office to handle this matter well before the Chinese New Year!"
"Accurate! Draft the decree!" Li Shimin saw that Wei Zheng had already stood up and supported it. What else could there be to say? Of course it was passed.
Wei Zheng looked at Li Tai, but he felt that Li Tai could take advantage of anything.
In any case, the person in charge of this matter should be determined first. If it is left to Li Tai to take the lead, Wei Zheng feels that Li Tai is afraid of gaining a lot of reputation. After all, this matter still cares about the courtiers, and it is Daren!
Li Tai has such a reputation at his current age. To be honest, his influence on the prince has been quite serious.
But Li Tai is down-to-earth and does practical things. Although this kind of person can find faults, these faults are nothing at all in front of Li Shimin, who is proud of Li Tai and cares about his children very much.
Even Wei Zheng had to admit that as Li Tai built Gaoling into a prosperous state, even though Li Tai was only ten years old during the Chinese New Year this year, Li Tai was already recognized as a capable minister by the Tang court.
Li Tai didn't know what Wei Zheng was thinking, and he didn't care if he knew it.
Because Wei Zheng was interested in giving physical examinations to ministers to gain prestige, but Li Tai was interested in setting up medical institutions in prefectures and counties.
This can be regarded as the foundation for his own medical plan. After all, the reconstruction of the entire medical system really requires the power of the entire imperial court to arrange it bit by bit.
