The Jagged Empire of Daqin

After the words fell, Ying Jiang resigned and left. After Ying Jiang left, Ying Chang looked at Zhang Feizi, and said with a half-smile: "Zhang Aiqing, tell me the truth, do you have other purposes for the imperial government to subsidize the medical expenses? ?”

Ying Chang never believed that Zhang Feizi's purpose was so simple. After all, this matter was not urgent and could wait until tomorrow, but Zhang Feizi was in a hurry to enter the palace during the New Year's Eve dinner. It was difficult not to make people doubt it!

Zhang Feizi smiled knowingly, raised his hand and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is wise, I can't hide it from you, but I can't tell your majesty yet. When this matter is completed, your majesty will naturally know, and I will definitely give your majesty a big surprise." !"

"I'm really looking forward to this surprise from Aiqing!" Ying Chang said interestingly.

After that, Ying Chang didn't continue to press him. Since Zhang Feizi said so, let's wait for his surprise. Not long after, Ying Chang asked Zhang Feizi to retreat, and he took Pei Ji back to Ganquan Palace. He was not full yet. Well, I have to keep eating, or I'll be hungry at night.

When Ying Chang went back to Ganquan Palace to continue eating New Year's dinner, Zhang Feizi and Ying Jiang went to Prime Minister Zuo's mansion together. Zhang Feizi also called all the officials of Prime Minister Zuo over to discuss the imperial government's policy of subsidizing medical expenses. Talking, full of confidence, under the calm and calm explanation, all the subordinate officials understood the imperial government's policy of subsidizing medical expenses, and at the same time they understood, they were also full of respect for the eldest prince.

For a time, the eldest prince Ying Jiang's fame and prestige in Prime Minister Zuo's mansion increased rapidly, and many officials thought that Ying Jiang was the best candidate for the position of crown prince. In this way, the eldest prince Ying Jiang easily conquered Prime Minister Zuo The heart of the government officials.

The officials in Prime Minister Zuo's residence were all ministers of the former Jin Dynasty. Being able to subdue them shows that the First Prince Ying Jiang not only has outstanding political talents, but also has a way of winning people's hearts. From him, one can see the shadow of the Holy Qin Emperor.

Well, let’s not talk about this, after a series of discussions, the eldest prince Yingjiang made the final decision, decided to subsidize [-]% of the medical expenses, and started a pilot project in Xianyang City today, recruiting able-bodied people to build a medical department , Xianyang medical hall shelf.

Under the command of the eldest prince Ying Jiang and Zuo Prime Minister Zhang Feizi, the Zuo Prime Minister's mansion built a medical department and Xianyang medical hall in just one night!

...

The next day, the second day of the first lunar month in the 27th year of Shengqin, Xianyang City!

Chen Shi!

"Warning! Your Majesty!"

"Listen up, folks and elders. From now on, Xianyang City officially implements the policy of subsidizing medical expenses. The policy of subsidizing medical expenses means that all Xianyang people who seek medical treatment in Xianyang City can go to the government to apply for court subsidies. , the imperial court can subsidize [-]% of the medical expenses!"

"That is to say, from now on, if you spend two yuan on medical treatment, the court will subsidize one yuan to you. In this way, it only costs one yuan to see a doctor!"

On the streets of Eighth Avenue in Xianyang City, golden notices are posted everywhere, and special officers and soldiers explain the meaning of the notices to passers-by and ordinary people, so that some illiterate ordinary people can understand clearly.

"My God, is this true or false? The court won't fool us, will it?"

"How is it possible? What did the imperial court fool us ordinary people? The fact that it can issue an announcement means that it is true. I am really lucky in my life. I was born in the Great Qin Dynasty. Long live Your Majesty, Long live Great Qin!"

"In the history of Kyushu, for more than 900 years, whoever heard that the imperial court would subsidize the medical expenses of the people? Our Daqin has set many precedents. First, we opened nursing homes and pensions, and now we have opened subsidies for medical treatment. Fei's precedent, Your Majesty the wise king!"

"This old man has spent his whole life, but now he can't find words of appreciation to praise His Majesty. I'm so short of words!"

PS: "Please order in full, order in full!"

Chapter 855 Scary Xiao Li!

"This year's three policies are all about loving the people!"

"Since ancient times, there have been many emperors who have valued people's livelihood, but there has never been an emperor who values ​​people's livelihood as much as His Majesty does today. This is not so important. This has clearly contracted the people's life, and the imperial court is responsible for half of the medical treatment. Live as a Qin person, die without regrets, and be a Qin person in the next life, willing to serve the Great Qin Emperor for thousands of years!"

"Your Majesty is the emperor, whoever opposes who refuses?"

"Whether people from other countries admit it or not, we Qin people admit that His Majesty is the Emperor alive!"

"Your Majesty has been in power for 20 years. The weather in Daqin has been smooth and the disasters have disappeared. If the Emperor is not alive, how can God take care of Daqin? All old Qin people, we Qin people will definitely rule the world and complete the eternal hegemony!"

"Even if Your Majesty asks me to die, I won't frown!"

"My second uncle works in Prime Minister Zuo's mansion. My second uncle told me that Prime Minister Zuo and the First Prince were also involved in this matter. His Majesty has ordered the First Prince to supervise and Prime Minister Zuo to assist. I heard that the imperial court subsidizes medical expenses. It was decided by the First Prince!"

"Eldest Prince? If you don't mention the eldest prince today, I would almost have Daqin and the prince!"

"The current princes are very low-key, and the eldest prince is really capable. I heard that he is only 11 years old!"

"What, you can supervise such a big thing at the age of 11?"

"What is this? Your Majesty is still planning to seize power at the age of five!"

"Yes, His Majesty's blood is too strong!"

There are 20 people in Xianyang City talking about it all over the city, which makes Xianyang City extraordinarily lively. There is no doubt that once the imperial government’s policy of subsidizing medical expenses was introduced, Ying Chang’s might in Daqin once again broke through a new level. It is no exaggeration To put it bluntly, Ying Chang casually asks a Qin person to die, and the Qin person will die willingly.

Yingchang has become a god in Qin people's mind, and has become the emperor in Qin people's eyes!

The name of the eldest prince was passed on by word of mouth and praised by the people, which caused Yingjiang's reputation among the people to rise rapidly.

Because Zhang Feizi gave Yingchang the merits of the imperial court subsidizing medical expenses, he was not appreciated by the people, but the people also recognized that he was a capable minister, and Zhang Feizi himself didn't care about this. These achievements were important to him. It's trivial.

He believed that when Great Qin ruled the world, his name would be immortalized and passed on forever, which is not bad for this feat!

After the discussion among the people, some people whose relatives were sick and had no money for medical treatment, brought their sick relatives to the major pharmacies in Xianyang City, causing traffic at the entrances of the major pharmacies to form long queues!

After half an hour!

Xianyang City, Beijiao, Zhuang Lao Xiaoyuan!

In the small courtyard, Mr. Zhuang was still sitting on the chair like yesterday, and the kit was still placed on the coffee table. The tea on the coffee table was already as cold as ice water, and even a layer of ice had formed on the surface.

Elder Zhuang has been sitting in the courtyard all night, he has been thinking and hesitating.

"Knock! Knock!"

In vain at this time, there was a knock on the door, and Mr. Zhuang, who was hesitating and unable to extricate himself, did not hear it at all, but as the knock on the door became more hasty and louder, he finally pulled Mr. Zhuang out of hesitation. pulled out.

"Who is it?" Elder Zhuang asked, frowning.

"Father, it's me!" Xiao Li's voice came from outside the gate, and there was an obvious smile in his voice, as if he had picked up money.

When Mr. Zhuang learned that it was Xiao Li knocking on the door again, he felt helpless. He slowly got up from the chair, walked to the door, and opened the door. As soon as the door opened, Mr. Zhuang saw Xiao Li standing by the door with a bright smile on his face. Outside, as soon as he saw Xiao Li, Mr. Zhuang immediately said angrily: "Is the yamen so busy? Do you have any errands all day long?"

Xiao Li gasped slightly, and said with a smile on his face, "Father, I have some good news for you. In a few days, I will be able to pay you back part of the money!"

He was originally on business in the Yamen, but he suddenly heard a big commotion in the street. After inquiring, he learned that the imperial court implemented a policy of subsidizing medical expenses, fully subsidizing half of the money, which means that he can spend half of the money on medical treatment. Knowing this Good news, he immediately ran over to tell Mr. Zhuang about repaying the money.

"What kind of money are you paying back? Why are you so worthless? Hey, that's not right. You said that you can take out part of the money I gave you in a few days. What's the matter? It's because you don't need so much to see a doctor, or you have done a good job. , the official rewarded you?"

Mr. Zhuang originally wanted to reprimand Xiao Li, but after he came back to his senses, he began to ask Xiao Li that in a few days, I would be able to pay you back part of the money. This made Mr. Zhuang very curious, wondering why Xiao Li said that.

"Hehe!" Xiao Li smiled silly for a while, and then smiled with flying eyebrows: "Old Zhuang, you don't know, the new policy issued by the court just now has only one content, that is, the court will subsidize the medical expenses of the people. Half of the subsidy means that my mother can save half of the money for medical treatment!"

"Your Majesty is really kind. He thinks of us ordinary people in everything. I heard that the eldest prince also participated, and his contribution is not small. In my opinion, the next generation of Emperor Qin is a sage king. The days to come will be better." Heck!"

As Xiao Li talked, he began to praise His Majesty and the First Prince, while Mr. Zhuang fell into silence, his inner persistence was disintegrating little by little.

Xiao Li saw that Mr. Zhuang was silent and his face was a little strange, so he couldn't help asking with a worried tone: "Mr. Zhuang, why don't you talk? Are you feeling unwell? If not, I'll take the Let you go to the city to see a doctor."

Mr. Zhuang suddenly grabbed Xiao Li's shoulder, stared at Xiao Li with a very solemn expression and said: "Can you help me run for a while, I have a very important matter!"

Hearing this, Xiao Li was excited for a while, straightened his back involuntarily, and said with a firm expression: "Just say it, I, Xiao Li, don't you know? Just this pair of legs can run fast, as long as Xiao Li can do it, Even if you go up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire, you will die!"

Xiao Li has always wanted to do things for Mr. Zhuang, but he has never had the opportunity. Now that Mr. Zhuang needs his help with something, he can't do without being excited.

"Help me go to Prime Minister Zuo's mansion, let Prime Minister Zuo come to my house, remember, Prime Minister Zuo must come in person!" Elder Zhuang said, staring at Xiao Li solemnly.

After the words fell, Xiao Li was startled suddenly, dumbfounded, completely dumbfounded!

"You...you're not kidding, are you!" Xiao Li's mouth was trembling in shock.

It’s nothing more than a trip to Prime Minister Zuo, but Prime Minister Zuo was actually asked to come to Zhuang’s hometown in person. Who is Prime Minister Zuo? old?No more than a famous farmer.

PS: "Please book in full!"

Chapter 856 The decisive and ruthless eldest prince!

The identities of the two parties are different, just like beggars in the world calling for the gods to come. The worst thing is that he, Xiao Li, has to go to the sky to invite the gods to come down.

That place was simply not his place to go.

"The old man is not joking, just tell him that the old man can satisfy his ideas!"

Mr. Zhuang looked solemn and his eyes were sharp, which surprised Xiao Li, because he had never seen Mr. Zhuang showing such an expression.

"Thought? What idea?" Xiao Li couldn't help asking curiously.

"Don't worry so much, are you going or not!" Mr. Zhuang said impatiently.

"I..." Xiao Li hesitated to speak, and wanted to refuse, but finally had the opportunity to help Mr. Zhuang, so how dare he refuse, in desperation, Xiao Li bit the bullet and agreed, "Okay, I'll go, Elder Zhuang wait a moment!"

After speaking, Xiao Li turned and left, and ran towards the south, while Mr. Zhuang returned to the courtyard with a frowning expression, and sat quietly on a chair to wait.

Xiao Li's legs ran very fast, and he hurried all the way, passing through houses and streets. After two quarters of an hour of rushing, Xiao Li entered the inner city of Xianyang, and Xiao Li, who entered the inner city, did not stop. Still speeding up, he went straight to Prime Minister Zuo's Mansion on the East Street.

After two sticks of incense, Xiao Li came to the gate of Prime Minister Zuo's mansion panting heavily. The ten officers and soldiers of Prime Minister Zuo's mansion and a leader of the officers and soldiers guarding the gate all looked curiously at the man who was panting heavily. Rough yamen officers and soldiers.

After Xiao Li took a short breath, he raised his heavy and sore legs, and walked towards the gate step by step. The chief of the officers and soldiers at the gate reached out to stop Xiao Li, and asked in a stern voice, "What's the matter with Prime Minister Zuo?"

"I...I...I want to see Lord Prime Minister Zuo!" Xiao Li said with his breath rising and falling.

The leader of the officers and soldiers frowned, carefully looked at Xiao Li's whole body, and then asked aloud: "Is there a public fuse?"

Except for some high-ranking adults, when small officials enter Prime Minister Zuo's mansion, they must take out their boss's official fuse, so that they can enter Prime Minister Zuo's mansion. If they don't, they can't enter. The country's political leaders are in charge here, and its importance is self-evident.

"No!" Xiao Li said bluntly.

The face of the leader of the officers and soldiers suddenly darkened, and he said angrily: "You don't have an official fuze. If you see Mr. Zuo Prime Minister, hurry up and go back to your boss to ask for an official fuse!"

"But I'm in a hurry. It's really a big emergency. Can I trouble this lord to go in and report?" Xiao Li looked at the chief of the officer and soldier anxiously and said, with a hint of pleading in his eyes.

The leader of the officers and soldiers shook his head without hesitation, and said with a cold expression: "No, no one is allowed to enter without a public fuse. You are also an officer and soldier. I believe you know the rules. Don't make it difficult for me. When the time comes, I will drive you out. But it doesn't look good!"

Xiao Li waved his hands again and again and said: "I...I won't go in, you go in and tell some of the Prime Minister Zuo, and say that Mr. Zhuang of Beijiao invites Mr. Prime Minister Zuo to go, and Mr. Zhuang can satisfy Mr. One sentence, just one sentence!"

"Old Zhuang?" The leader of the officers and soldiers was taken aback for a moment, and he couldn't help recalling that he went to invite someone in the northern suburbs yesterday, and the person he invited was not Elder Zhuang?

That's right, it was Mr. Zhuang whom he and another officer went to invite yesterday.

After a moment of embarrassment, the leader of the officers and soldiers said to the officers and soldiers next to him: "You stay here and watch, I will go in and report!"

"Obey!" Ten officers and soldiers around the door responded respectfully.

The chief of the officers and soldiers then walked into Prime Minister Zuo's mansion, and went straight to the court located in the center of the mansion.

Meanwhile, the court!

The courtroom was overcrowded, and there were more than a dozen officials from Prime Minister Zuo's mansion sitting on the left and right sides of the hall. Zhang Feizi was also sitting on the first chair on the right, and above the first seat was a handsome eleven or twelve-year-old man. The young man, the young man was wearing a black four-claw python suit with a waist, his hair was fixed with a golden crown, and there was a short sword hanging from his waist.

It was the First Prince Ying Jiang!

Ying Jiang flipped through the official memorial in his hand, and after looking at it for a while, he looked up at everyone in the hall, and asked calmly, "Have all the pharmacies in the city sent someone to notify them?"

His first step now is to let the major pharmacies lower the price of medicines, so as to save money for the Qin State treasury and reduce the financial pressure on the people.

As soon as the words fell, a subordinate officer immediately got up from his seat, bowed down to salute Yingjiang respectfully and said: "Return to His Royal Highness, I have sent someone to notify, I believe the heads of the major pharmacies Coming soon!"

After speaking, another official got up from his seat, and said with a slightly sad expression: "However, His Royal Highness, the heads of these pharmacies may not agree to lower the price of medicines!"

"Yeah, most of the businessmen who are the heads of the pharmacy, the businessman is looking for profit, and it's already very good if they don't take the opportunity to raise the price of medicine. Now let them lower the price of medicine. For them, it's no different from sucking blood. I'm afraid it's not that simple. !"

"It makes sense!"

"If the drug price is forcibly lowered, it will only make the head of the pharmacy feel resentful. We must adopt a gentle strategy, and we must not force it!"

"If the businessman can't make a profit here, he may give up the pharmacy and not open the pharmacy. In the end, it will be the common people who suffer!"

Numerous officials were talking about it, and they didn't think that the head of the pharmacy would agree to lower the drug price.

Hearing these words, Ying Jiang's face was not disturbed at all, and he said calmly: "It depends on how we talk. Negotiation is also a technical job. Imagine how many people gave up treatment because they looked down on doctors before!"

"Nowadays, the imperial government implements the policy of subsidizing medical expenses, which will make many people who can't afford to see a doctor go to see a doctor. This will undoubtedly increase the source of customers for major pharmacies. He will reduce the price of medicines, and it will not hurt profits!"

"The purpose of this negotiation is not only to reduce drug prices, but also to formulate a standard price list, requiring drugstores across the country to offer prices in accordance with the standard price list, and must not raise drug prices privately. If the drug price is raised without the consent of the drug company , A thousand times the price of the drug, [-]% of the standard price, confiscation of the entire family property, [-]% of the family property, five years in prison, [-]% in prison, [-] years in prison, [-]% in prison, no mercy!"

All the subordinate officials looked at each other, and couldn't help sighing, this seemingly gentle and elegant eldest prince, his heart is as ruthless as His Majesty!

"I understand!"

"The eldest prince is wise!"

PS: "The recent results are not very satisfactory. It must be because the number of words is too large. Many people lose their patience and don't want to continue reading, or keep raising them, forgetting that this pig was not slaughtered..."

Chapter 857: Elder Zhuang's Madness!

More than 20 subordinate officials successively edited and flattered, and upon hearing these flattering words, Ying Jiang did not feel complacent, but turned to look at Zhang Feizi, and asked modestly, "Mr. Zhang, what do you think? "

At this time, Zhang Feizi's eyes were wandering and he was in a daze. He didn't hear Ying Jiang's inquiry, and he didn't know what he was thinking. He actually got carried away in such an important meeting place.

"Master Zhang?" Ying Jiang whispered suspiciously.

"what!"

Zhang Feizi finally came back to his senses, and hurriedly got up from his seat, bowed down apologetically and saluted, "I beg your pardon, my lord, I lost my mind!"

"It's okay, Zhang Xiang didn't sleep all night, he must be tired, so let's say it again, student!" Ying Jiang said with a disapproving smile, not blaming Zhang Feizi for being absent-minded, but being considerate of Zhang Feizi.
