Confucianism in the Han Dynasty absorbed various schools of thought.

Since Zhao Han wants to reform Confucianism, of course he can recruit doctors, and in the future he will also recruit scientists.

Sun Simiao, Hua Tuo, Ge Hong, Zu Chongzhi, Zhang Heng, Shen Kuo, Mo Di... put the tablets of these people in the Confucian Temple, it must be very exciting.

Zhao Han asked: "Do you have a way to regulate doctors?"

Li Yu shook his head: "Not at all."

A scholar like Li Yu was born in a medical family, and his uncle was a doctor with a crown, so he knew the disadvantages of medicine long ago.Not only Li Yu, many doctors in the Ming Dynasty wrote books and complained about quack doctors.

Li Yu divides doctors into three types: good doctors, Chinese medicine doctors, and quack doctors.

He said that there are very few good doctors, Chinese medicine and quack doctors are all over the world, quack doctors are purely harmful, and Chinese medicine neither harms nor saves people.

The most ridiculous thing is that the Mingtai Hospital, the highest medical institution, doesn't have many good doctors.Because imperial physicians can be recommended, during the Jiajing period there was an investigation of imperial hospitals, 42 imperial physicians were dismissed, and 160 two imperial physicians were directly expelled from medical registration.

The 162 imperial physicians who were expelled from their medical status did not know how to take the pulse and use medicine, and they were completely blind to the powerful and powerful.

In this case, it is not that traditional Chinese medicine is not good, but that Zhu Xi commented on the sentence in "The Analects of Confucius", which led to medicine being regarded as a small way.The children of medical households all want to take the imperial examination, and they don't have much serious study of medicine, so they bluff and deceive everywhere.

After careful consideration, Zhao Han decided to add a medical school.

Now there is only one Ziyang Medical College in Jiangxi, and one should be opened in Nanjing, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, and Changsha.Invite well-known doctors from all over the world to teach in medical schools. After completing their studies, they will be issued a medical license, which is an official certification for these medical students.

As for those who do not have a medical license, the government will not prosecute them, because it is too difficult to enforce.

Come step by step, Zhao Han only gives policy guidance.

As long as the policy is guided in a positive direction, there will be more and more good doctors in the future.

At least not like Daming, too many hospitals are full of quack doctors.It's scary to think about it. Are there really dignitaries who dare to seek medical treatment from them?

His attitude towards traditional Chinese medicine is neither admiration nor dislike, and he hopes to continue to develop more comprehensive and perfect.

Zhao Han said to Li Yu: "You are from a medical family, so this task is entrusted to you. Go to search for famous doctors in various provinces, and set up four new medical schools. The dean of each medical school is given an official status, which is equivalent to the prefect. The vice-principal is equivalent to the county magistrate. Let them teach well and train more good doctors, which is a great cause for the benefit of the common people."

"Obey!" Li Yu was quite excited.

Since there will be no major wars this year, we can take the opportunity to do a lot of internal affairs.

Li Yu led a group of men to Nanjing to build a medical school.The county magistrate of Fuliang sent people to present the telescope.

The telescope can finally be self-produced!

The glass manufacturing center in the Ming Dynasty was Yanshen Town, Shandong Province.As for Jingdezhen in Jiangxi, glass can also be made, but it is a by-product of firing porcelain.

In these two towns, the glass technology trees are all crooked, and the resulting glass is colorful.The more beautiful the more valuable, even fired until completely opaque, polished like jade, commonly known as "medicine jade", classified as jewelry.

Two years ago, Zhao Han threw a pair of binoculars and asked craftsmen in Jingdezhen to develop transparent glass.

Now it finally bears fruit.

Zhao Han boarded the tower and looked at the river with a self-made binoculars. He regretted, "The lens is still not clear enough, we need to continue to remove impurities."

The person who came to present the telescope was Wan Bangshun, an official of Fuliang County's engineering department. He cupped his hands and said, "I will do my best to make the glass more transparent every year."

"Did you develop it yourself?" Zhao Han asked curiously.

Wan Bangshun said: "The township issued an order, and the county magistrate dared not neglect it. I was responsible for the development of the telescope. For the past two years, I lived and ate in the kiln every day, and at night I dreamed of burning glass."

Zhao Han sighed: "It's hard work for you, this is a great credit. Don't be impatient, do things slowly, and don't drag your body down. This kind of binoculars is barely usable."

Wan Bangshun also said: "The cement mentioned by the general town has also made some progress. It can be used to build walls in private houses. However, it is still not strong enough to build city water conservancy. We need to continue to develop better cement."

"It's a big improvement if it can be used to build private houses." Zhao Han praised.

When firing cement, there is no shortcut, and the furnace temperature must be continuously raised.

Once the furnace temperature can be raised again, it will not only be used for cement, but also for smelting steel, firing porcelain, and firing glass.

There are lime mines everywhere in Jiangxi, and Zhao Han immediately ordered that cement kilns be added to lime kilns everywhere.Burning bricks and burning lime. In future official buildings, cement masonry buildings will be used first, and the use of cement by the people will also be encouraged.

……

Three little ones, lying in a cradle under the shade of a tree.

Gun'er is already three years old, squatting beside her, carefully rocking the cradle, for fear of waking up her younger siblings.The kid turned around and asked, "Daddy, can they eat eggs? I eat eggs every day, and mother said that eating eggs will make me grow taller."

Zhao Han said with a smile: "The younger brothers and sisters can only eat milk now, and they can only eat eggs when they grow up."

"Oh." Gun'er continued to lie there.

Zhao Han asked: "Mum, did you say you'd be cursed?"

Gun'er immediately stood up, held his head high and chest out, shaking his head and brain: "There is a bright moonlight in front of the bed, it is suspected to be frost on the ground. Look up at the bright moon, and look down at your hometown!"

"Anything else?" Zhao Han asked with a smile.

Gun'er thought for a while: "Goose, goose, geese, singing to the sky. White hair floats in green water, red palm touches the clear waves."

Zhao Han clapped his hands approvingly: "Good memorization, really smart."

Today's weather is fine, with no wind and no heat, Fei Rulan and Pan Qimei both came out to breathe.

The two women teased the child, Zhao Han leaned on the recliner and said with a smile: "This year's autumn grain, officials from all over the country have reported that Jiangxi and Hunan have a good harvest."

Pan Qimei asked, "Where's Guangdong?"

"Guangdong land tax is free." Zhao Han replied.

The exemption of land tax means a catastrophe for the whole province, and Pan Qimei is a little worried about her family.

Zhao Han said comfortingly, "I asked the county magistrate to send some food to your house."

"That's great." Pan Qimei laughed.

Fei Rulan stared at the twins with envy in her eyes, and said with a smile, "They look alike. They are a boy and a girl, what will they become when they grow up? Will they still be so similar?"

Zhao Han said, "We'll know in two years."

Fei Rulan asked again: "What is the best age for Gun'er to study? It's not at home, but I ask my teacher to teach me."

"Six years old, don't hire a teacher, just go to elementary school in the city," Zhao Han said of his thoughts, "After graduating from middle school, I will hire a full-time teacher to teach. While you are still young, make more friends and follow up more. People-to-people contact."

"Total town!"

There was a guard standing at the gate of the courtyard, and it seemed that there was an urgent military situation.

Zhao Han took a look and almost laughed out loud on the spot.

Two letters requesting attachment, and both were sent from Fujian.

One came from the rebel Qiu Lingxiao. After the father and son rebelled, they had already occupied the entire Tingzhou Prefecture.

One copy came from Fujian governor Xiao Yifu, willing to dedicate the whole of Fujian to Zhao Han.

Xiao Yifu's first official position was the magistrate of Changting County, which was attached to the capital of Guoting Prefecture.This gentleman is a clean and honest official, his mother died in the county government, and he has no money to pay for the funeral, so the local gentry paid for him to take care of it.

This person has an extremely bold personality, nicknamed "Timely Rain", even if he gets some regular money, he will give it to others for emergency.

Therefore, after he became the governor of Fujian, the gentry, powerful and common people in Fujian were very convinced.In the past two years, there have been uprisings everywhere in Fujian. Xiao Yifu has successively put down the rebels such as Chen Hu, Chen Jia, Guan Rikui, Chen Beizan, and Wu Jiupin.

Now I can't move anymore, Fujian is short of money and food.

The leader of the bandits, Qiu Lingxiao admired the governor's character, and he didn't want to fight with Xiao Yifu, so the two secretly wrote letters and wanted to join Zhao Han together.

It was Chongzhen who prompted Xiao Yifu to make up his mind.

Xiao Yifu is from Dongguan, Guangdong, and his hometown is occupied by Zhao Han.The monarchs and ministers in the court were afraid that Xiao Yifu would be a thief, so they sent a new governor.

The governor set off at the beginning of the year and went south tremblingly, but was blocked by Zhan Luan, and he didn't take up his post in Fujian until last month.

Xiao Yifu put down so many Fujian uprisings and made countless contributions, so he was only transferred to Dali Temple Minister.

Fearful and angry, Xiao Yifu put the new governor under house arrest, and discussed with the thief leader Qiu Lingxiao to join Zhao Han together.

What else can Zhao Han say?

I can only sigh.

The autumn harvest is still in the past few days, the autumn grain has not yet been put into storage, and they are preparing to send troops to Fujian.As a result, before he could do anything, Fujian officials and rebels surrendered together.

Chapter 324 [Sunset West Mountain]

Chongzhen 12 years, October.

Zhao Han ordered his troops to divide into two groups, one to receive Fuzhou by boat, and the other to go south to receive Tingzhou.Those who resisted in the corner were all wiped out, and the number of officials who surrendered or fled was almost evenly divided.

Over the past few years, more than a dozen uprisings broke out in Fujian, and droughts occurred many times. Both the gentry, the officials and the people did not want to fight.

Four words: people's mind is fixed.

The autumn grain just harvested in Jiangxi was transported to Fujian for disaster relief.A large amount of grain from Hunan was transported to Jiangsu and Zhejiang for sale.The territories in several provinces under Zhao Han's rule were finally able to recuperate this time.

The north is more chaotic.

The officers and soldiers in Xunyang and Xiangyang have been without pay for half a year, and they usually rely on looting the people for food and drink.

Governor Wang Aoyong asked for the payment of military salaries, which totaled more than [-] taels of silver.If the imperial court has no money, ask for the distribution of salt quotations, and attract merchants to sell salt quotations to offset military funds.

Chongzhen agreed.

The rest of the officers and soldiers from all walks of life also used salt to deduct the deduction, and let them figure out a way to cash it out.

For a time, the price of salt was excessive and depreciated rapidly.

Huizhou merchants, Qin merchants and Shanxi merchants suffered heavy losses. In order to calm the resentment of merchants, the Lianghuai patrol salt censor strengthened the management of saltworks.

This way, the businessman is happy, but Yanxiao and Zaohu are forced to rebel.

Especially the salt-burning kitchen households, if they do not rebel, they will only have a dead end, because they rely on selling illegal salt to survive.

The salt lord Zheng Guofeng gathered a crowd to raise troops, and the Huai and Huai stove households echoed each other, killing the supervisors of the salt farms. In ten months, he recruited more than [-] troops and occupied Rugao, Haimen, Taixing, and Tongzhou (Nantong) counties.

The salt merchants exploded.

Huizhou salt merchants and Shanshan salt merchants used to play tricks on each other, but this time they joined forces to recruit soldiers and assist local officials to suppress the salt owl uprising.

Huizhou merchants kept writing letters, asking Zhao Tianwang to send troops to take the Lianghuai area as soon as possible.

Zhao Han turned a deaf ear to it and kept his troops on hold until next summer's harvest.

The battle between Huaihe River and Huaihe River was lively, and Hubei was occupied by Zhang Xianzhong.

"Cao Cao" Luo Rucai was originally a gangster with Zhang Xianzhong, but they had a falling out some time ago.The reason was that Zhang Xianzhong gave the land to his godsons and generals for selfishness, and Luo Rucai was busy for a long time with only two counties.

Luo Rucai led his army westward to the Dabie Mountains and captured Shangcheng, Gushi, Guangzhou, Guangshan, Xixian, Luoshan and other counties.

This action frightened the Henan officers and soldiers. They were besieging and suppressing Li Zicheng, and Luo Rucai suddenly developed wildly behind his back.

……

Xinzheng.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Yang Sichang coughed repeatedly, until he couldn't straighten his back, as if he wanted to cough up his lungs.

The most powerful civil servant in Ming Dynasty, his beard and hair are all white at this moment.Compared with last year's full of energy, she seems to be 20 years old, and her face is covered with wrinkles at some point.

The city of Luoyang was high and deep, and Li Zicheng couldn't fight it down. As Xuan Da's frontier army went south, King Chuang was driven away again.

What kind of farming, what kind of institutional system, these policies can't be implemented, he can only continue to be a rogue.

Li Zicheng was in a difficult situation, and Yang Sichang was also in a difficult situation. The armies from all walks of life were fighting for pay.

"Report!"

"Tiger Dawei, Ferocious Tiger, Zuo Liangyu, join forces to attack and smash the bandit camp, behead more than [-] enemies, and flee to Yanling!"

Yang Sichang stood up excitedly, with a sickly flush on his face, and said repeatedly: "Okay, okay, well fought, let the generals from all walks of life report their merits."

"Cough cough cough cough!"

Yang Sichang coughed again and coughed up a hand full of blood. He secretly wiped off the blood, not daring to let anyone see it.

The next day, all parties reported their military exploits, and Yang Sichang drafted a victory report document, and immediately sent someone to Beijing.

The imperial court had no money to reward meritorious service, so Yang Sichang had no choice but to ask for the title of earl, asking that Hu Dawei, Meng Ruhu, and Zuo Liangyu all be made earls, and the rest of the generals should also be made wives and sons.

If he didn't do this, he wouldn't be able to command the army, and the imperial court owed too much money.

"Supervisor, a eunuch is here!"

As soon as the letter of victory was sent out, a eunuch suddenly came to Xinzheng to announce the decree.
