One Piece of Song Dynasty

When talking about the training of medical talents, we have to mention the Ministry of Education again. Children are only twelve years old after six years of primary school education. At this time, they can receive classified education. For example, some children can study medicine. Women have an advantage over men in studying medicine. Studying medicine requires patience and carefulness. Women are better than men in this aspect. This society not only needs talents for officials, but also talents in all aspects, so the Ministry of Education also needs to build and train various talents. Taixue with similar talents, such as medical schools that specialize in cultivating medical talents. Of course, the construction of medical schools also requires the contribution of the Ministry of Health. Therefore, in the future, medical schools in various places will be jointly managed by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education. In addition to the military medical schools built by the Ministry of Health and the Ministry of Education, Several medical schools need to be built, because soldiers are most vulnerable to injuries in war. The army will add a new branch of medical service in the future, and the medical service will be filled by graduates of military medical schools. Of course, the army will also build its own hospitals, with medical talents from military medical schools. In addition to working as a medic in the army, you can also work as a doctor in a military hospital. In addition to treating military personnel, military hospitals also serve ordinary people. In addition to the doctor's salary, the military hospital's income is shared between the Ministry of Health and the army. Fourth, military medical schools and military hospitals are established by the military. In addition, universities such as medical schools have a four-year academic system, with tuition fees of RMB per person per year. This may change in the future with the development of the country. It is also compulsory to attend university. sexual.

Next, I will talk about the Salt Bank. From now on, half of the national salt tax will not go to the Ministry of Finance, but to the Salt Bank. The Salt Bank will use this part of the salt tax as a basis to lend money to people in need of money in society, and Providing deposit business, Salt Bank is equivalent to the country's bank. Salt Bank's loans and deposits have interest. The interest will be different depending on the years of the loan and deposit. The annual interest rate for the loan is , to percent. The annual interest rate is %, and the interest rate for loans over five years is %. The interest rate for deposits is % for one year, the interest rate for deposits for two to five years is %, and the interest rate for deposits over five years is %. Four percent, the deposit interest is given by the bank to the depositor, and the loan interest is given by the lender to the bank. Regardless of whether it is a loan or a deposit, the bank will enter into a contract with you. If the loan is not repaid overdue, the country will force you to recover, and for this kind of If the depositor cannot withdraw money from the bank after the due date, the bank will compensate the depositor at % of the deposit amount. Bank lenders need to explain the specific purpose of the loan to the bank, and The bank will also send people to supervise the use of each loan. The Salt Bank is the only legal deposit and loan institution in the country. Other private loan banks are illegal. The country will severely crack down on these loan sharks. Of course, for the healthy development of the Salt Bank , Salt Bank is also within the scope of supervision of the Audit Department.

Let’s talk about banknotes. From the year after next, no matter whether they are copper coins or gold and silver, they will not be allowed to circulate in the market. They will all be replaced by banknotes. In the first half of this year, I will launch a set of banknotes with face values ​​of one dime, five cents, one yuan, and five cents. There are eight types of banknotes: yuan, ten yuan, twenty yuan, fifty yuan, and one hundred yuan. One yuan is equal to ten cents. In the second half of the year, one penny will be exchanged for one yuan. The Salt Bank is responsible for this. After the introduction of banknotes, counterfeiting banknotes is a capital crime. , be executed immediately upon discovery. Of course, the banknotes introduced by this king are not so easy to forge.

Finally, let’s talk about religious issues. From this year onwards, this dynasty prohibits the spread of any other religions except Taoism and Buddhism within the jurisdiction of this dynasty. A nation is a nation and a religion is a religion. The two should not be confused. This dynasty welcomes people of other ethnic groups to come and live in this dynasty. Or do business, but other religions cannot be spread in this dynasty. Once found, they will be executed immediately or expelled from the Song Dynasty according to the seriousness of the case. Moreover, officials cannot believe in religion in the future or can only believe in one religion, which is atheism, that is, they do not believe in God. Religion can only To spread among the people, the Ministry of Rites must strictly manage religion. Well, I have finished talking about the reform measures in the past five years. "

Zhao Ding and his ministers bowed and said, "I understand."

Li Xin concluded: "In short, to fight against foreign aggression, we must first pacify the domestic situation. This is the national policy for the next five years. Specifically, within five years, we will eliminate the bandits, pacify the south of the Yangtze River, concentrate on restoring the economy, complete various reforms, and focus on defending the outside world. No inch of territory can be conquered. Lost again.”

The ministers bowed again and said: "Your Majesty is wise."

Li Xin waved his hand and said: "Okay, the court is over. Zhao Ding and Lu Yihao will stay, and the others can go."

After everyone left, Zhao Ding and Lu Yihao knelt down and said, "Your Majesty is a great talent. Our horizons have been opened today."

Li Xin smiled and said: "It is better to solve the problem of redundant officials than to block it. With so many new departments, we can always solve the problem of a large number of officials not doing their jobs. You may even have to worry about the lack of talents in the future. Of course, I will put the positions After giving it away, if there is another person who just sits there and does nothing, then I won’t be polite anymore.”

Lu Yihao said: "With so many reform measures by Your Majesty, the Ministry of Finance is under great pressure."

Li Xin nodded and said: "I know that I don't expect these reform measures to be completed overnight. It would be good if they can be completely completed within five years. Moreover, I will also use my own money to reduce the pressure on the Ministry of Finance. In addition to I am interested in cultural relics, but not interested in anything else. I don’t even plan to build a palace. I will use this palace as my office and residence after it is expanded. Of course, this money does not need to be funded by the Ministry of Finance. Most of the money I earn is for the country. In the future, my money will mainly be used to supplement military expenses. Therefore, the pressure on your Ministry of Finance in military expenses will be reduced a lot, and you can spend more energy on other things. aspect."

Lu Yihao burst into tears and said, "Your Majesty is really the lucky star of my Han people."

Li Xin waved his hand and said: "Okay, okay, by the way, Lv Shangshu, I just forgot to mention that you will set up a statistics bureau under your Ministry of Finance, and various localities will also set up statistical bureaus to collect and record the taxes paid by each locality every year. and other various aspects of data information.”

Lu Yihao bowed and said, "I understand."

Li Xin said: "You two, this is what I have planned for the army. In the future, there will be a total of imperial troops across the country, and three front-line armies. In the future, three governor's offices will be set up to be responsible for the anti-golden affairs. Each governor's office will have troops. At present, the West Road Governor's Office has been established with Liu Fa as the governor. The other two Road Governor's Offices have not yet been established. The West Road Governor's Office is responsible for the Sichuan-Shaanxi war, and the Middle Road Governor's Office in Xiangyang is responsible for the anti-golden war in Hubei and South Beijing Road. For the war, the East Road Governor's Office is in Yangzhou and is responsible for the war between the Huaihe River and Huaihe River."

Zhao Ding nodded and said: "In addition to the troops on the front line, how did the prince arrange the remaining people?"
