Chapter 91: Quantifying the Value of the Common People
"Female Doctor?" Everyone present could not help looking at each other when they heard Li Tai's words. Unexpectedly, Li Tai would raise this question.
"Do you have to ask for a female doctor?" Hearing Li Tai's words, Wen Yanbo couldn't help but step forward and said to Li Tai.
To be honest, there were specialized female doctors in this era, called "a person with observable breast production" and were doctors who specialize in treating female diseases. Because some women's diseases are inconvenient to men to treat, female doctors naturally arise.
However, obviously, what Li Tai mentioned was not this kind of female doctor, but a female doctor who was the same as a real male doctor.
Li Tai must vigorously cultivate this kind of female doctor so that it can become a channel for women to survive.
Anyway, in Li Tai's opinion, the question of the status of women is purely a false proposition.
Although the princess of the Tang Dynasty raised their parents, the five surnames and seven prime ministers asked for it, but to put it bluntly, the people recorded in history books have nothing to do with the vast majority of ordinary people. They cannot represent middle-level women at all, let alone
Talk about women at the bottom.
You should know that the Tang Dynasty still had servants and servants, and their status was "better than animals".
It can be said that this is a legacy of slavery. Even a concubine with a higher position can be used as a commodity for trading at any time, let alone a wife who shares a wife.
What is the highest status of women in the Tang Dynasty? Just listen to it. If you really believe it, it would be a joke.
In fact, if you can become the highest group of women under any system, even if you are not women of the Tang Dynasty, it would be extremely wonderful. However, any woman who can leave a name in history books is difficult to represent ordinary people.
Therefore, what determines the status of women is not the era and country at all, but its own economy or rights.
Li Tai neither wants to belittle women nor to elevate women. Li Tai wants only labor.
Li Tai said, "Since these doctors are preparing for future war scheduling, we naturally have to consider the lack of private medical care in advance. Shouldn't Lord Wen try to consider it as thoroughly as possible?"
Wen Yanbo's face turned pale when he heard Li Tai's words, but Fang Xuanling hurriedly came out to rescue Wen Yanbo and said:
"It is common sense for the Yin Yin to hear the news that the news is reported. King Yue does not need to worry about it. He also asked King Yue to explain the female doctor's affairs in detail."
Li Tai nodded, "Because these doctors are essentially ready for war at any time.
To a certain extent, it is also a model of the integration of soldiers and farmers, but if they are transferred away, what should their patients do?
So female doctors are a good supplement for male doctors. Well... Li Shangshu, we don’t have female soldiers in the Tang Dynasty!”
"Since Princess Pingyang, the people who joined the army were male!" Li Jing quickly stood up and said to Li Shimin:
"So it is indeed a feasible solution for men to follow the army and let female doctors stay for treatment."
"Then the next thing is the problem of cultivating female doctors." Fang Xuanling nodded when he heard Li Jing's words and looked at Yue Wangdao.
"During the initial refugee wave, Gao Ling adopted some women and had taught them literacy and medical skills.
They are the seeds of female doctors. Of course, they want to truly cultivate female doctors. I want to come from these aspects.
The first step is to establish orphanages in various parts of Guanzhong to adopt children who are unraveled, whether they are men or women, this orphanage will be accepted.”
"Hold orphans?!" Fang Xuanling couldn't help but frown when he heard Li Tai's words, "But he wants to build a Yulin Guard!"
Everyone present also looked serious when they heard Fang Xuanling's words, because this was not a minor charge.
"Fang Xiang, are you harming me!" Li Tai said calmly, but without any fear,
"I just hope they can survive and add more bricks to the Tang Dynasty.
If any minister is interested, he can adopt these orphans, and he will treat it as a good deed."
"Continue to say, keep talking!" Li Shimin waved his hand and said, "I don't know if you are Huo Qubing and can you form the Yulin Guard!"
The original orphanage was built by Li Chunfeng, and no one knows what happened there, but Li Shimin can do not know.
Even if Li Chunfeng did not report it, did Bai He not report it yet? Li Tai said that I have written my diary openly.
Sure enough, seeing that Li Shimin didn't take this matter to heart, Li Tai continued: "Everyone likes a boy who can become a laborer.
But there are not many ways for women to survive. Some of them are absorbed by the cloth shop, and some people choose to go to the flower building to make a living..."
Hearing this, the adults present showed some embarrassment on their faces. They really didn't expect Li Tai to be so direct.
However, Li Tai ignored them and continued, "Compared with this, I think it is at least a serious profession to make them doctors. Whether they can seize opportunities is their business, but whether they give them opportunities is not the same
Things about our court.”
Hearing Li Tai's words, the ministers present also looked serious, and they couldn't help feeling a little ashamed of Li Tai's targeting him. Looking at Li Tai's appearance, he naturally felt a little respect. What is the King of Yue?
Do practical things.
Of course, when this kind of respect really comes to the fight for power and profit, it will only make the move even more ruthless. After all, if you are countered by the King of Yue, you may not have the rest of your life.
Li Taizhe continued: "Although I will continue to promote the women's medical school and make women a doctor, women may not pay much attention to the people and even good families. Therefore, in addition to adopting orphans, so as not to cut off the inheritance of women's medical school.
It can only be seen whether ordinary people can be more open-minded, at least they can throw their children who choose to drown their babies into orphanages to raise them.
But to be honest, before no outstanding person comes out, I can only say that the system of female doctors still needs to be cultivated.
I just hope that this system can be improved in twenty years.”
"Twenty years..." Everyone heard the words from Li Tai's mouth, and the corners of their mouths twitched unconsciously.
To be honest, although everyone present is a person standing at the top of the Tang Dynasty and looking at the mountains. But no one can guarantee whether it will take twenty years to complete a plan. But for Li Tai,
This seems to be taken for granted.
"Twenty years..." Fang Xuanling could naturally feel the strong ambition when he heard the data Li Tai said.
Even as Fang Xuanling said, he did a lot of things for the long-term peace of the Tang Dynasty, but he was not as sure as Li Tai. He had been planning for twenty years to do something for the country and the people, and even for himself.
What is obviously beneficial.
But I have to say that after hearing Li Tai's plan, Fang Xuanling still respects Li Tai very much, and King Yue really has great ambitions.
"After talking about human affairs, you need to talk about medical supplies!" Li Tai said, then took out a memorial from his arms and handed it to the eunuch, and then said to Li Shimin, "Please read Aye, this is
Cultivate the materials needed for doctors and various medicines.”
Li Shimin took the documents from the eunuch and naturally flipped through them. Looking at the documents sent by Li Tai, he couldn't help but tickled.
When the minister heard Li Shimin's tone, he looked at Li Tai with a little suspicion, and then looked at Li Shimin again.
In fact, the memorial that Li Shimin saw was particularly concise compared to other people's colorful copywriting.
Li Tai did not use any accumulated rhetoric, but only had clear data.
It lists how much it costs to train as a doctor and how much it costs to give him a piece of tools.
At the same time, scholars were also used as comparisons. Only with comparisons can we make it clear that it is difficult to train a doctor.
Then, Li Tai also calculated the value of taxes and corvee that the doctor could save a labor force.
To be honest, compared to the words of the king being less important and the people being more important, Li Tai felt that he should not talk nonsense. How much wealth can he exploit from a labor force directly to the court? Is the value of this wealth higher than the value of training for doctors?
Of course, Li Tai naturally understood that the productivity brought by the transformation of nature by the people is naturally not comparable to that of taxes.
But I am not a master, and I can write down the value of a person in an easy-to-understand way.
It is better to start directly from the perspective of taxation and corvee to let Li Shimin understand the necessity of cultivating a doctor system.
Because it maintains the wealth of the court to some extent, and more importantly, the people who live must pay taxes and corvee labor.
The average age in the Tang Dynasty was about twenty-seven years old. For Li Shimin, if a doctor could allow the people to live ten more years, he would be able to pay taxes and serve ten years more, and prolong their life for twenty years, which would be able to exploit them twenty years.
Years, life span thirty years... The medical care of this era is really impossible.
This is the value of doctors’ existence, not whether they save lives or not, but that they are related to the country’s taxes.
For Li Tai, the intermittent support he emotionally brings is very limited.
Li Tai wants to make it happen and bring much direct benefits to the country, and then say, Dad, do you follow me?
and!
Li Shimin looked at the detailed data listed by Li Tai and clearly quantified the value brought by the people!
To be honest, the original content of this part was originally the materials that Li Tai asked Lu Cai for after discussing with Liu Shenwei.
Although Li Tai asked Lu Cai to edit the household registration in detail was not for this, it has to be said that with the detailed data brought by Lu Cai, Li Tai has full confidence no matter what he does.
For example, if you leave it to Li Shimin now, you don’t need to say anything more. As long as you are an emperor with a normal mind, you will definitely vigorously promote the medical system.
After all, no court will be unable to get along with taxes. Only when the people live longer can the court have more taxes and corvee!
Li Shimin looked at Li Tai's memorial with relish. Although it was as brief as possible, the information was quite rich.
And as I finished reading this part, I soon arrived at the next part, which was the reserve of medicines.
If in the first half, Li Tai talks about directly quantifying the value of a person, then the material reserves of drugs, and Li Tai lists in detail the functions of various commonly used medicinal materials and the amount of reserves required for each hospital.
The medicinal materials on this are basically obtained from Sun Simiao. I want to get prescriptions for common diseases, such as fever and brain fever. Traditional Chinese medicine basically finds ways to increase the patient's resistance to survive.
As for the prescriptions prescribed by Sun Simiao, Li Tai directly listed more than 100 kinds of herbs that need to be grown regularly, as commonly used reserve medicinal materials needed by the medical school.
If people have any headaches and fevers, they can directly take medicine from the hospital based on the prescription.
Of course, if there is any serious illness, such as heart disease, brain tumor, or cancer, then don’t expect the hospital to be cured. This is not a terminal illness that ordinary people in this era can afford. It’s better to accept your fate.
However, one thing that must be noted is that the various data listed by Li Tai are used for market prices, not cost prices.
But even so, it is a big profit for the court, it just depends on whether the court has the determination.
After reading the memorial, Li Shimin did not speak immediately, but handed over the things to the eunuch and asked the eunuch to give to Fang Xuanling.
Fang Xuanling was originally curious about what Li Tai wrote, but when she actually saw it, she couldn't help but look serious.
After reading this, Fang Xuanling closed the memorial in his hand, but the officials present stretched their heads.
Everyone complained in their hearts that Fang Xuanling was not very helpful. Obviously, this memorial was very important, but Fang Xuanling had no intention of sharing it.
"King of Yue, the numbers above come true!" Fang Xuanling stepped forward and asked Li Tai.
Facing the pressure brought by Fang Xuanling, Li Tai answered solemnly without retreating:
"These figures are based on the data statistics from Gaoling, the head of the Leke Department of the Agricultural University of Agricultural University.
In addition, with the confluence of the Wei River, the statistics of the people above and below the Wei River began to be carried out.
I can't guarantee that there is no error in the above data, but I can guarantee that this is the most detailed data that the agricultural institution can produce.
As for the prices of various materials above, they are basically calculated based on the market price. If you have any doubts about the house, you can investigate it yourself."
Fang Xuanling heard Li Tai's words and looked at the price above. To be honest, he didn't think Li Tai would lie on this. After all, you will know if you investigate this kind of thing after a little investigation.
Fang Xuanling hesitated and said, "Your King Yue has collected this data in detail. I believe you have made some plans. Can you tell me?"
When Li Tai heard Fang Xuanling's words, he nodded calmly, "Because the medical industry is different from many industries, it not only requires people, but also requires medicine. Only with both can it be used to treat the people.
More importantly, this medical system also needs to go with the army during war.
Therefore, it is impossible to rely on daily small-scale collections for preparation of medical supplies, because this is definitely not enough.
If there is no medical system with enough medical supplies, it is just a joke, and it is better not to come.
Therefore, the imperial court needs to open a medicine garden that specializes in providing medicinal materials, which requires the support of the court and the support of the state."
Fang Xuanling heard Li Tai's words and couldn't help but squint his eyes. After a while of silence, he asked again:
