Feeling that he had been suffering from a series of disasters recently, Emperor Zhu moved from his own body to the world, and then to his own body. He thought about it for a few days, tossing and turning, unable to sleep.
Finally, he came to an important conclusion:
"This world cannot be without me."
The core of protecting the emperor is to live well.
Therefore, the advancement of medical skills is extremely important and is directly related to the emperor's life and death.
"Why don't I compile a medical book so that I can recruit famous doctors and become famous in history?"
After patting his thigh, Zhu Yixi immediately decided to compile a medical classic in the name of the imperial court.
Wenzhi martial arts, compilation is the best embodiment of Wenzhi. Yongle Dadian and Sikuquanshu were all born under this situation.
That is to say, all common diseases, as well as the prescriptions and methods of viruses such as plague, are compiled into a book, and the witchcraft ingredients such as monkey brains and human yellows are eliminated to determine the real and effective ones, thus completely standardizing traditional Chinese medicine.
For example, medication quantification and standardization.
Instead of using unquantifiable words such as a spoon and a claw, use exact quantifiers, as specific as a few taels and a few dollars, so that it will no longer be vague.
Chinese medicine emphasizes individual differences, so the prescriptions are divided into four types for men, women, old and young, and each type has different types.
Even, an important step has been taken: canceling classical Chinese and using vernacular.
Then use sentence reading to break up the sentences, which is enough for this medical book to spread on a large scale.
As a later generation, Zhu Yixi deeply understands that the advancement of traditional Chinese medicine does not come from the top doctors, but from the ordinary country doctors all over the world.
After all, there are too few top doctors, and they are too far away from ordinary people. The medical skills that are inaccessible are just a mirror image.
As long as this group of ordinary country doctors can understand and improve their skills, even the rigid prescription of medicine according to the book will be better than their family secret recipes.
After setting the tone, the person in charge was naturally Taiyuan Hospital, and then called on famous doctors from all over the world to come to Beijing to improve the level of medical skills in the world.
It is claimed externally that the book is compiled for the common people of the world, taking the essence and removing the dross.
"It's called "Shaowu Medical Book"
The emperor ordered to the Taiyuan Hospital: "Set up a compilation office under the Taiyuan Hospital and call on famous doctors from all over the world to go to Beijing to compile books."
Taking a step forward, he came to the cabinet again, opening and closing his lips, making the whole cabinet jump like crazy:
"According to the order, each province will set up an additional famine and epidemic inspection office. The patrol censors of each province will also perform their duties, while the governor will take overall responsibility and coordinate emergency famine relief."
"As soon as an emergency arises, the governor can act expeditiously, allocate all supplies, and provide relief to the victims, instead of waiting to ask the court for instructions. By then, the day lilies will be cold."
The trio of cabinet members were at a loss for a while, and then realized that the emperor was taking measures to deal with the famine and plague.
As the center of power, the cabinet's butt is naturally biased towards the central government and the emperor, and the pros and cons immediately appear in their minds.
The benefits are obvious. It can effectively curb the emergence of disaster victims, thereby maintaining social stability and ensuring long-term peace and order in the local area.
After all, local governments have been beggar-thy-neighbor for thousands of years. As long as the disaster victims do not come to their area, not a single grain of food will be transferred out, and they will even deliberately guide the disaster victims to neighboring counties.
If you are not from your hometown, there will be no relief at all. Therefore, when there is a famine, you will definitely send imperial envoys, otherwise the supplies in various places will not be used at all.
The disadvantage is that the expansion of local power is not conducive to centralization.
Between world security and power, the cabinet chose power.
"Your Majesty, you can set up relief bureaus in each province, and the chief envoy can coordinate and direct them. The governor does not need to take on the responsibility himself."
"The chief envoy controls the local vassal treasury and can act nearby."
Yan Chongxin immediately proposed a compromise plan, which was approved by the cabinet.
"Inappropriate!" Zhu Yixi thought for a moment and immediately rejected the proposal: "The chief envoy does not have enough power to appease the victims immediately."
"Furthermore, it is difficult for the two chief envoys to shoulder the heavy responsibility due to their constraints."
Unlike the Qing Dynasty, where each province had one chief envoy, each province in the Ming Dynasty had two chief envoys, each responsible for the civil affairs of several governments.
This is also the reason why the three local bureaucracies put their hands around and the administration was low, so the court had to appoint a governor.
"Your Majesty can abolish the chief envoy to one."
At this time, Zhang Shenyan said without hesitation: "What the cabinet is worried about is that the governor's power will grow, which will be detrimental to the court. In this case, it is better to merge the chief envoys into one to check and balance the governor."
"How wonderful!" Zhao Shu couldn't help but admire: "The system of large and small phases has returned to its original situation, and the place is balanced again."
As he spoke, Zhao Shu was afraid that the emperor would not allow it, so he directly handed over his hand and said: "As early as the founding of the People's Republic of China, the local chief envoy was abolished to only one person. There is a precedent for this. Moreover, now that the world has been established, senior officials are already scarce. After the abolition,
It’s nothing serious.”
Centralization and decentralization may seem contradictory, but they are extremely realistic and indispensable.
Since the impact and resistance were not great, and it was suitable for the development of the situation, Zhu Yixi agreed: "The cabinet will draft a charter."
"However, the relief bureau is headed by the governor and the chief envoy is the deputy. Only when they are at the helm can they work together and supervise each other."
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty." The three of them looked at each other, this method is feasible.
After the incident, Zhu Yixi sat on the imperial chariot and realized that she had made some changes to the place unknowingly.
The provinces were dominated by the governor's family and became a check and balance between the chief envoy and the governor.
However, later in the Qing Dynasty, the governor-general was established, so that the protagonist became the governor-general, governor, and chief envoy were completely reduced to supporting roles and became the director of finance.
However, the governor who was in charge of the army at first was forced to take charge of civil affairs. Instead, the governor took charge of the army above and the people below, with overwhelming power.
To put it bluntly, we still cannot escape the convention of the system of large and small.
Thinking of this, the emperor smiled, is all this coming after all?
At this time, the cabinet fell into silence.
People in the middle school moved their steps carefully, for fear of disturbing the three pavilion elders.
"Brother Yan, it's up to you to draft this one!"
Zhao Shu took a sip of tea and said calmly.
"OK."
Yan Chongxin nodded.
"What about those chief envoys?"
Zhang Shenyan had to speak at this time.
"Since they have been abolished, let them settle in Beijing!"
Zhao Shuxin said: "The Lifan Court still lacks a few ministers. By the end of the year, Lu Bingbu will definitely join the cabinet, and there will also be vacancies in the Ministry of War."
Suddenly, he laughed: "Your Majesty intends to establish Yinshan Province, but he thinks the name is not good enough, so he wants to change it to Suiyuan Province."
"But the Hetao area is too small after all, and Dingkou is not as big as an inland prefecture. I'm thinking of bringing the Monanxing capitals together to form Suiyuan Province. In this way, I can make do with about 600,000 to 700,000 people."
"What about Ningxia Wei?" Zhang Shenyan asked.
"Cut part of the Hetao area into Ningxia, in order to balance it. The Ningxia central defender, Ningxia defender, and Ningxia avant-garde are combined into one. The population is almost one million, which is enough to form a province."
"There is also Yunnan Province that is about to be recovered."
Zhao Shu chuckled: "I was just worried about where the official would come from, but here he is in the blink of an eye."
