The status of doctors in ancient times was the same as that of craftsmen, and they also belonged to the ranks of hundreds of craftsmen.
What Zhu Ying now wants is for the old man to issue an edict to improve the status of the medical profession and promote the development of the medical profession.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at his eldest grandson seriously, and after pondering for a while, he sighed: "Dasun, it seems that you are going to take action against our household registration system after all."
"You are going to destroy all of these things that we have studied so hard for us one by one."
The Ming Dynasty was founded at the beginning of the Ming Dynasty. At this time, the society had just experienced war, economy was in decline, the countryside was deserted, and the people were displaced.
Coupled with the serious loss of household registration and land registration, and the large changes in household registration, the government's taxes and corvee cannot be collected. In order to restore economic development as soon as possible, stabilize social order, and protect the country's taxes, it is necessary to collect household registration statistics across the country as soon as possible.
So Zhu Yuanzhang ordered to verify household registrations across the country, rectify household registrations, and strengthen tax and labor management.
In order to firmly control the population and prevent the emergence of refugees, Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that household registration cannot be changed at will. "He ordered the four civil affairs to stick to their own professions. Medicine and divination are indigenous and are not allowed to travel far away."
"If there is someone who does not work in farming but is engaged in farming, he will be regarded as a vagrant and he will be arrested."
Through this policy, Zhu Yuanzhang tried to tie farmers to the land and make them farmers for generations.
This policy is conducive to the recovery and development of agriculture, but it is not conducive to the development of industry and commerce.
Now that Zhu Ying is vigorously developing industry and commerce, the household registration system is like a door panel, firmly holding it back and restricting its development.
It's just that this household registration system can be said to have been established by Zhu Yuanzhang.
Now it is impossible for Zhu Ying to break him casually, the final result will still fall on the old man.
Zhu Ying thought for a while and replied: "There is no unchanging system in the world. It should change according to the times and events."
"Before grandpa, the land was barren, the refugees were scattered, and the grain production was limited. This system was the most suitable."
"However, the large-scale planting of high-yielding crops has reduced the food crisis to a great extent, and the basic food problem has been alleviated to a great extent. Not to mention that everyone in the world has food to eat and clothing to wear."
"But most people will no longer flee because of famine. Even some natural disasters can be faced calmly."
"We, the Ming Dynasty, are now exploring the grasslands in the north, occupying the Japanese country in the east, and making preparations in the west and south."
"At this time, people's hearts have changed. It is natural to develop industry and commerce and improve the comprehensive national strength of the Ming Dynasty."
Zhu Yuanzhang patted Da Sun on the shoulder, and then said: "You are right, we also know that the current development is different from the past, but if we let go step by step, we will let go step by step."
"We know that Dasun wants to make business more prosperous, but the court cannot do it openly. If it does so, it will encourage the people to give up farming and do business instead."
"But for others, they can slowly let go, but only businessmen can't. Does the eldest grandson understand?"
Zhu Ying hesitated for a moment and then said: "My grandson understands."
This is a collision of two ideas. I can't tell whether it is right or wrong. Each has its own reasons.
Zhu Ying wanted to develop business beyond the Ming Dynasty, establish multiple trade routes, and cooperate with the trade surplus to form a kind of external absorption.
Zhu Yuanzhang, on the other hand, wanted more to let the people plant more fertile fields and produce more food. Even if they had to deal with something, they would at least be able to eat.
For Zhu Yuanzhang, who grew up hungry, food rations were an important thing that he could never forget.
People who have never been hungry cannot understand that feeling.
Zhu Ying has also been hungry, and he understands the old man's choice.
For now, even if we can only let go of doctors, it would be good.
Here, the grandfather and grandson were chatting, and the life of the imperial doctor earlier had been saved.
But even so, it can be regarded as a mistake, and demotion is inevitable.
For such a result, we are very lucky.
The imperial doctor looked at Zhu Ying with eyes full of gratitude.
Taking advantage of the old man's consent, Zhu Ying acted quickly and started building medical schools in various places the next day.
In the previous school, the profession of medicine was opened up independently.
Zhu Yuanzhang also issued an edict, specifically allowing various industries to be transferred to the medical household registration.
In other words, no matter what your previous household registration was, as long as you can enter the medical school, you can complete the change of household registration.
This can be considered a prerequisite.
If you are unable to officially graduate from the medical school, that is, become a medical apprentice, your household registration will still be reset to a distant place.
The inheritance on the medical side remains unchanged.
It seems like a small change, but it is the rumor of reform. Since medical households can be transferred in today, other household registrations will naturally be possible in the future.
As long as there is a beginning for everything, there will naturally be a second and third time.
Regarding the household registration system, it is not said that civil servants can participate. This is entirely Zhu Yuanzhang's decision, and no one can interfere.
.....
It's the end of the year soon.
For Zhu Ying, the biggest thing now is Ye Yueqing's belly.
"Your Highness, he has been fussing in his stomach recently. It seems he is eager to come out."
"I don't know if it's a daughter or a son. If it's a daughter, will His Highness blame me?"
Ye Yueqing asked nervously.
In today's era, especially for the royal family, having a son and having a daughter are two completely different concepts.
If Ye Yueqing gives birth to a son now, he can almost be said to be the future successor of the Ming Dynasty.
In the royal family, giving birth to a son was regarded as a meritorious service, and one could receive a lot of rewards.
For example, the previous Li Fei Ge was so favored by Zhu Yuanzhang because she gave birth to two sons.
"There is no relationship between men and women. Even if it is a daughter, it is our daughter's and son's business. It should be dealt with in the future."
"Yueqing doesn't need to be anxious. You can't be anxious about giving birth to a son. If we can't do it once, why don't we just do it twice?" Zhu Ying comforted with a smile.
After hearing this, Ye Yueqing felt much better.
He nodded seriously and said: "Your Highness is right. If you give birth a few more times, you will naturally have a boy. It depends on whether my belly will live up to the expectations this time."
Things like giving birth to children are very critical to the entire Ming Dynasty.
Especially when it comes to orthodox inheritance.
What Ye Yueqing wants most at this moment is to give birth to a boy in one go.
As the days draw closer, the day of labor is getting closer.
As for the birth of a newborn, Kunning Palace is completely prepared.
Finally, seven days before the Chinese New Year, Ye Yueqing was about to give birth.
Officials, maids, midwives, imperial doctors, everything is going on in an orderly manner.
All the procedures at this time can be said to have been rehearsed many times to ensure that all possible accidents to the Grand Concubine can be resolved in the most timely manner.
"Dasun, we thought you could keep your composure, but we didn't expect you to be as nervous as we are."
Seeing his eldest grandson scratching his head and ears outside the house, extremely anxious, and looking into the house with the same look from time to time, Zhu Yuanzhang laughed and joked.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Dasun with a bit of sadness in his eyes.
The scene in front of him reminded him of when his eldest grandson was born, he was just like the eldest sister, anxiously running around outside the house.
It feels like it's a bit more urgent than the boss Zhu Biao.
Thinking like this, I suddenly thought of my boss Zhu Biao.
When Zhu Biao was born, Zhu Yuanzhang was at war, and he only got the news after he was born.
Even when his subsequent sons were born, he was not around.
Only he and his eldest sister have been guarding the eldest grandson since he was born.
Thinking of this, the corners of Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes couldn't help but become moist.
"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?"
Although she was anxious, Zhu Ying still saw something strange about the old man.
He just laughed and cried.
"It's okay, we just remembered some past events, thinking about when you were born, your grandma, your father, and us."
"Everyone is as anxious as now."
"It's just that things have changed. Your grandma is gone, and your father is gone too. Today, we are the only ones with my eldest grandson, this bad old man."
Zhu Yuanzhang said slowly.
At this moment, the sound of a baby crying suddenly came to mind in the room.
gave birth?
The grandfather and grandson could not worry about anything else, so they hurriedly took two steps towards the door of the house.
Then the palace maid went out to report.
Zhu Yuanzhang asked anxiously: "A boy or a girl?"
The palace maid paused for a moment, then immediately replied: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the grandson concubine has given birth to a princess."
Zhu Yuanzhang hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Quickly, show us your great-grandson."
It was cold outside, so Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Ying and his grandson quickly entered the side hall and waited for the palace maid to bring them over.
Seeing the person coming, Zhu Yuanzhang stepped forward to take it. Looking at his great-grandson who was sleeping soundly in his arms, he couldn't help laughing.
Although he is not a boy, as the first born great-grandson, Zhu Yuanzhang still looks extremely happy.
"Oh, our great-great-grandson, you will be the eldest princess of our Ming Dynasty in the future. Your facial features really look like those of our great-grandson."
Zhu Yuanzhang was extremely happy holding his great-grandson in his arms.
Later, Dr. Li Li came to check and said that the baby was very healthy and would definitely survive.
"Have you thought of a name yet?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked his great-grandson while holding him in his arms.
Zhu Ying replied: "I've already thought about it. I'll call her Yu Ting. What do you think, grandpa?"
Zhu Yuanzhang muttered a few words: "Yuting Yuting, this is a good name, but that's it."
