The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 509: Small Changes

At this moment, Xun Yu had completely seen through the principle of the emperor's "strengthening" method.

An offer of money you can't refuse.

Freedom from interference.

Harmonious and suitable environment.

Easy and considerate work.

If nothing unexpected happens, there is also...

really!

Liu Xie then said, "If you two agree, the school can be placed under the jurisdiction of the Imperial College, but both of you can hold posts in the Ministry of Rites, with a rank of fourth grade."

And... a respected social status!

Xun Yu was so nervous!
In order to become more powerful, the emperor spared no expense in using money and power, and frantically gave Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing such a condition!
If it weren't for the fact that the start-up capital for this matter was earned by Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, Xun Yu really wanted to immediately advise the emperor not to waste the people's money like this!

……

wait?

Xun Yu thought of one thing and finally realized something!
The money used to set up the school now actually comes from the profits of Shu and Annan Protectorate.

The emperor had just made it clear that if Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing had not cured the people of southern China and convinced Meng Huo and others, Zhuge Liang would not have been able to gain their trust, let alone establish the Annan Protectorate.

Without the Annan Protectorate, all these revenues would naturally be nonsense.

……

A complete system gradually took shape in Xun Yu's mind.

A unique environment for protecting talents was established in Chang'an, the center of the Han Dynasty.

According to this model of the school, a large number of top doctors and craftsmen from the Han Dynasty were gathered...

Then once these top talents create value... just like what Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing did in Nanzhong, the wealth will be enough to continuously support these top talents in the Han Dynasty. Then new top talents will be gathered to create wealth, and the cycle will continue...

In fact, this model is not new.

The unified dynasties have always been operating using this model.

The only difference is that due to political needs, the top talents gathered were not doctors or craftsmen, but scholars and wealthy families.

Although the scholars and the wealthy are well-versed in the classics and have a lot of money...but even if all the Confucian scholars were gathered together for a hundred years, could the wealth they created be greater than that created by Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing taking a trip to Nanzhong?

Would it be more useful for a great scholar to write a hundred famous books than for a skilled craftsman to improve his technology?

The model is still the same model.

It’s just that the emperor transferred the welfare of scholars to these doctors and craftsmen.

If it were in the past, the emperor would probably be criticized to death for these actions!

But it's different now.

Because of Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, they really have created a huge amount of wealth for the Han Dynasty!
There is also the smelting of Handan iron ore and the mining of Liaodong coal...

All these made the Han Dynasty's finances grow rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye!

Simply trading with the three tribes on the grassland and stabilizing the north is a valuable asset that cannot be measured by money!
Therefore, even if the emperor transferred the benefits for scholars to shamans, doctors, musicians, and craftsmen, these scholars would probably not dare to say a word.

If you have the ability, you can also go and save the people in Nanzhong, win the hearts of the people in Nanzhong, open up the Annan Protectorate, and create an annual income of millions of taels of gold for the Han Dynasty!

If you can do that, then come and negotiate with the emperor! Negotiate with the court!

"Lun Heng..."

Xun Yu knew where all these changes came from.

If it were in the past... let alone in the past, even if you ask some corrupt scholars now, asking them who is more valuable between a great scholar and a doctor, probably 90% of them would choose the great scholar.

But the Emperor and the Han Dynasty have already proved that the value created by a doctor can sometimes be much greater than that created by a great scholar!
This is the fact that Liu Xie wanted Xun Yu to see!

Gathering these top talents and supporting them may cost a huge amount of money.

But these top talents are far more practical than scholars and Confucianists! They can create more value!
As long as we attract these top talents to Chang'an with wealth, environment and status, we can launch a dimensionality reduction attack on other remote areas!

Among these people, as long as there is a Hua Tuo or a Zhang Zhongjing, this model can survive for several years or even decades!

With such a virtuous cycle, the core of the Han Dynasty will always be the core of the Han Dynasty and will never be replaced!
"Son of Heaven, it really is..."

Liu Xie's method is essentially no different from the unified rule of previous dynasties.

The only difference is that the scholars who were supported were turned into doctors and craftsmen.

And the facts have also proved that the wealth created by these people far exceeds that of those scholars and Confucian scholars.

It’s really not that difficult.

Sometimes, you need to change your thinking a little bit.

……

At the same time, Xun Yu was also thinking.

Thinking about it, in past dynasties, there was actually a habit of gathering top doctors and craftsmen to the central government.

But why didn't those people create wealth for the court and the country?

……

“People-oriented, not using public resources for personal gain.”

While Xun Yu was still thinking, Jia Xu, who had followed the emperor longer and knew him better, blurted out the answer.

"In this world, the person who has studied the doctrine of Lun Heng the most deeply is not Liu Jingsheng or Zhuge Kongming, but the emperor before us!"

Xun Yu suddenly realized!
Which emperor would give such generous conditions to the doctors and craftsmen gathered together in the past?
I wish they were all kept in the palace, you appoint an imperial physician, he appoints a miser, they all have to wait by the emperor's side twelve hours a day... Where would they give you the time to discuss, study, and teach?

Xun Yu now seemed to vaguely understand the emperor's intention. The emperor never wanted to be the Purple Star who ruled the world and was surrounded by countless stars.

What the emperor wants to do is always to be the flag that stands at the forefront and cuts through all obstacles.

Just like the dragon banner in the Battle of Anyi.

What the emperor wanted was not for people like Lu Bu, Guan Yu, and Zhang Liao to surround him and protect him, but for him to be at the forefront and lead the direction.

Suddenly.

Xun Yu felt ashamed for no reason.

Compared with the emperor, Xun Yu realized how narrow-minded he was!

At this moment, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing also changed from intention to certainty.

Both of them were attracted by the pie that the emperor painted for them... no, it was the beautiful blueprint that the emperor built for them, and began to enjoy the wonderful life in the future.

"The grassroots are willing!"

"good!"

Hearing that the two agreed, Liu Xie was overjoyed and immediately presented gifts.

At this time, it is naturally impossible to talk about money.

"If you are a human being, you should know people."

"In the future, I will send you some human bodies. You can dissect them and study medicine on your own."

Anatomy has existed for a long time.

The method of "anatomy" was proposed in "Huangdi Neijing" and the location of internal organs was marked.

In the "Bian Que Cang Gong Biography", it is recorded that the ancient divine doctor Yu Fu could cut open the skin and flesh, dredge the meridians and tendons, massage the nerves, then pull open the chest and peritoneum, grab the greater omentum, and finally wash the intestines and stomach and rinse the five internal organs, so that he could quickly discover the disease and treat it...

However, as the theory of the correspondence between heaven and man became popular, the human body was forcibly linked to the universe and morality, and people began to keep anatomy a secret.

Now that Liu Xie has personally given a guarantee to Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing, it will undoubtedly accelerate their research on medicine.

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Hua Tuo, who was best at surgery, almost burst into tears!
He once told Cao Ang that he used to be a veterinarian... It seemed like a joke, but it was actually full of sadness.

Influenced by his beliefs, Hua Tuo could only search for unclaimed corpses and perform autopsies secretly...

If it weren't for the chaotic times, the massive wars and famines, Hua Tuo might not have been able to get access to this kind of material...

But the dead are dead after all, and their condition cannot be compared with that of the living.

Helplessly, Hua Tuo could only aim at domestic animals...

Now the emperor allows them to dissect openly, which is already a great blessing from heaven!

Although the emperor is unlikely to give them living people...but what if there is such a heinous person who kidnaps and sells children, maybe there will be material!

Hey!

……

Liu Xie turned around at this time and looked at Xun Yu who looked a little strange.

For some reason, Xun Yu, who was just stubborn, now didn't dare to look the emperor in the eye and dodged.

"Wen Ruo, can you understand now?"

"Under this model, the center of the Han Dynasty can only be Chang'an, not anywhere else..."

"Of course, there may be changes in a hundred or a thousand years, but by that time, neither you nor I will be able to do anything about it."

Liu Xie spoke in a relaxed tone.

And the most important thing is...

Emperor Liu Xie is in Guanzhong! In Chang'an!

It’s not that Liu Xie is conceited.

As long as he is in Chang'an, there will be no possibility that the branches and leaves will turn against the Tiangang during his lifetime!

"Besides, it's not just about money... the military aspect is the same."

Liu Xie again mentioned the gunpowder used in Liaodong.

"That thing isn't actually used like that."

"If it can be put into an iron pipe... Hey! When I came here, I asked Liu Ye in Handan to be in charge of this matter. I believe the finished product can be delivered to Chang'an soon."

"When you see that thing, you will know that a strong trunk and weak branches can never exist."

"And even if we take a step back..."

There was no gloom on Liu Xie's face, but instead he was full of pride.

"We are all Chinese people. If I have achieved this, and someone can turn the tables, I will toast him!"

Although such a person will never appear.

Even if people like Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi were packed up and sent to other places, it would be impossible to surpass Chang'an!
And Xun Yu...

In fact, since Xun Yu had figured out the emperor's behavior and thinking, he had already agreed to the idea of ​​establishing a state, and there was no need for Liu Xie to persuade him with so much effort.

So Xun Yu asked directly: "Where does the emperor intend to start?"

Liu Xie was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes were filled with joy and nostalgia.

"It seems that I have to ask the Grand Master for help again..."
