Chapter 205 Passive medical skills, fighting hurricanes

[The skill 'medical skill' breaks through Lv5, please choose a passive skill! 】

Three blue rays of light flashed in front of Su Ze's eyes, and when he opened it, he saw that these three passive skills were all quite useful skills.

[Blue Passive - Barefoot Doctor: Diagnosis and treatment of common diseases, medical skill level +1, can use lower-priced common medicines for treatment. 】

[Blue Passive——Prevention Expert: +1 medical skill level when preventing and treating epidemics. 】

[Blue Passive—Gynecological Master: During obstetrics and obstetrics treatment, medical skill +1. 】

The first two are okay, why is the third one so weird?

Gynecologist?

Although giving birth these days is like going through hell, the development of gynecological technology is indeed a milestone in modern medicine.

But let Su Ze deliver the baby in the county? Even if it is not to be beaten out.

Decisively ruled out.

The first two passives made Su Ze fall into a tangle.

[Barefoot Doctor] is equivalent to a general practitioner, and [Prevention Expert] is also very practical in this chaotic era.

Su Ze thought about it, and chose the passive skill [Barefoot Doctor].

From the Shaw Brothers, Su Ze knew how lacking doctors in Nanping.

Huang Tiju and his son from Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau, the owner of Shao's Medical Center and several apprentices, there are no more than ten doctors in Nanping City who can see a doctor.

For a long time, Changningwei relied on Ninth Auntie's talisman water and herbal medicine to treat illnesses, and in case of sudden illness, he could only see whether the third master would bless her or not.

People at the age of the old grandfather and the ninth aunt are quite rare in Changningwei, and the child mortality rate is astonishingly high.

Su Ze still chose the passive skill [Barefoot Doctor]. Countless history has proved that the implementation of the general practitioner system in the era of backward medical care can effectively increase the average life expectancy of the local area.

After choosing passive, various cheap and simple small prescriptions emerged from memory. Su Ze pulled up a weed by the side of the thatched hut and recognized that it was a cheap herbal medicine to prevent wind and cold.

He recruited children from the nursing home, searched for this weed nearby, wrote the prescription to the Shaw Brothers, and after the start of work, he brewed the medicine and distributed it to the villagers.

Su Ze couldn't help but feel that the biggest advantage of barefoot doctors is that they can adapt to local conditions and provide basic medical services at a low price. In this era of scarce medical resources, they are magic weapons for dimensionality reduction.

Su Ze came up with the idea of ​​compiling a medical book. Now it is the thirty-fourth year of Jiajing, Li Shizhen should still be working in the Chu Palace, right?

If there are no accidents in the historical timeline, next year Li Shizhen will be elected to the Tai Hospital, and then resign and return to his hometown after one year in office.

It's a pity that the Chu Palace is in Wuchang, and Su Ze has no idea of ​​going to Hubei for the time being.

However, Lv5 medical skills are also equal to the level of famous local doctors, probably similar to Huang Tiju of Huimin Pharmaceutical Bureau. If you want to compile the "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook", you must at least improve your medical skills to Lv10.

Medical skills still need to be brushed up. If this manual can be produced, it will be a great thing that will benefit thousands of years.

However, with Su Ze's current level 5 medical skills, it is possible to produce a pamphlet of commonly used diseases to popularize some simple medical knowledge.

Su Ze sent away the last patient, and a young eunuch hurried to the side of the cottage.

"Su Xianggong, godfather invites you to come over, the big family in the city has come up the mountain."

Su Ze stood up unhurriedly, washed his hands and said, "Please lead the way, father-in-law."

The little eunuch admires Su Ze's demeanor, he is worthy of Xie Yuangong, and he is different from those rural scholars!

The most important thing is that Su Ze treated these little eunuchs equally. He didn't show disgust because of their status as eunuchs, and he didn't seem to deliberately cling to them. He just treated them normally, which made these little eunuchs feel comfortable.

Naturally, Eunuch Tao couldn't live in a thatched cottage like Su Ze. He had already moved into the farm of a big family, not far from the place where Su Ze married, and soon saw the sedan chair at the door.

In the early Ming Dynasty, Emperor Hongwu explicitly prohibited ordinary people from riding sedan chairs, except of course the people of Lao Zhu's family.

Ordinary officials were not allowed to ride in sedan chairs carried by people casually, but this prohibition was soon abolished.

In today's era when ordinary people are cheaper than livestock, in mountainous areas like Fujian, it is very common for country gentry and local tyrants to ride sedan chairs.

However, the eight-carrying sedan chair is only used in film and television works. In Fujian, it is basically the kind of bamboo chair carried by two people. It is also called "sliding pole" in the local area. It is a single-person sedan chair that is not very comfortable to sit on.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Eunuch Tao drinking tea with a group of rich people. Eunuch Tao had a low status in the palace in his early years. He started his family in Yeting by brushing Gongtong. He missed the age of Shangnei Study. Just simple literacy.

It's just that Eunuch Tao still respects scholars very much, and he also took in a few educated eunuchs as godsons.

Eunuch Tao's biggest feature is his pragmatism. Whether it is minting coins or harnessing rivers, he can personally go into battle and supervise things well.

I have to say that Emperor Jiajing was really good at employing people, and it was really the right choice to appoint Eunuch Tao to mint coins.

Compared with those educated father-in-laws, a reckless man like Eunuch Tao is indeed the best candidate.

Even if Su Ze hadn't figured out a way, Eunuch Tao's ability would be able to sweep the ground in Fujian and return with a full load.

But then again, Eunuch Tao's executive power, coupled with such an emperor, doesn't seem to be a good thing for the people.

Eunuch Tao recently fell in love with the black tea brought by Su Ze. He soaked some wild fruits in Fujian and added a little brown sugar.

After seeing Su Ze, Eunuch Tao seemed relieved and said:

"You talk to Prime Minister Su, the miscellaneous family is going to inspect the dam!"

All the big households hurriedly saluted Su Ze, Xie Yuan, who was in the limelight in Nanping.

Su Ze sat down directly on Eunuch Tao's seat, raised his finger and said:

"Three things. The redemption will be completed before the Mid-Autumn Festival. After that, Wufeng Mountain will store water and build a dam. The submerged land will not be given a penny."

Everyone blushed immediately, but Su Ze didn't give them a chance and continued:

"Second, buy the land at three times the market price of the highest-quality paddy fields, but it must be registered in the county government's Jiage Treasury, and there must be no disputes."

"Third, all transactions are made with new coins, and Eunuch Tao wants to exchange the old money in your hands with three immortal coins."

Those squires who had lawsuits with each other but had already negotiated looked at each other, and they all prepared to settle the lawsuits as soon as possible, and immediately sold the fields in their hands.

They finally came to their senses. For Eunuch Tao, the real killer was not water control, but coin distribution.

As the first batch of Sanxian coins entered the market, the private trading market lacking currency seemed to be a dry sponge, quickly absorbing new coins into the commercial system.

The exquisite and fine-looking new coins quickly replaced Song coins and became the currency in circulation in Nanping.

And the old money is becoming less and less spendable.

In the hands of these big households, they have more or less hoarded some Song coins, but they are not as extreme as the Huang family, and all the silver in the house is replaced with old money and hoarded.

Seeing the depreciation of the Song coins in their hands, now a "ten" Sanxian coin can only be exchanged for fifteen Song coins. The price is even lower.

A special extra issue of "Surprise" was published, using simple and plain dialogues to publicize the benefits of the new money law to the people.

At the same time, it vaguely pointed out that the rumors that the imperial court abolished old money in the market were behind the fact that those big households wanted to hoard private coins.

Now the old money is falling again and again, and it is still unusable. Few businesses are willing to accept the old money.

It is difficult to imitate the Sanxian coins, and the fineness looks good enough. It is not necessary to judge the fineness as before when trading, and it is much more convenient to distinguish counterfeit coins.

Who wants to keep using old money that is bothersome and inconvenient.

In short, the dreams of most families trying to make a fortune from the imperial mint were shattered.

The old money cannot be spent, and the new money cannot be imitated!

These big households asked craftsmen to do the calculations. To cast a Sanxian coin with the same color and shape, the craftsman had to manually carve it, which was worth more than a hundred old coins!

How can this be imitated?

Everyone couldn't figure it out, how did this dead eunuch mint such fine three immortal coins?

Is it really a god grant in a dream?

Hearing that Su Ze said that they wanted to exchange old money, these big households felt relieved. They all applauded, but Su Ze raised his hand to signal silence, and added:

"But you can only exchange the old money with the 'Dang fifty' new currency."

After finishing speaking, Su Ze asked the little eunuch to distribute the Yingzhou money of "Dang 50" to everyone. Seeing the new coins that were only a circle larger than "Dang 20", the big households scolded their mothers in their hearts.

This "fifty coins" is only a little more material than "twenty coins", and the value of the currency is so large, it is clear that it is a large amount of money specially used to exchange old money in one's own hands.

You must know that in the era of metal currency, the numbers on the coin do not represent the value of the coin, but how much everyone thinks the money is worth.

This kind of "fifty yuan" can only be exchanged for thirty yuan in the market.

Originally, I wanted to use the imperial court to mint coins to make a fortune by following the trend.

But I didn't expect that this Eunuch Tao didn't play cards according to common sense, instead of scratching from the heads of the common people, he scratched from the heads of these big accounts!

But Eunuch Tao's knife is so sharp that he can't use the old money if he wants to. The only one who can exchange it is Eunuch Tao.

These big families were also frightened by Eunuch Tao, especially those small landlords with little old money and few fields on the mountain, they were all busy to stop their losses and leave the field as soon as possible.

These landowners were busy promising to settle the lawsuit as soon as possible, sell the land to Mr. Tao, and then busily took a sedan chair down Wufeng Mountain.

At this time, Eunuch Tao came out from behind the curtain. On such a hot day, he was unwilling to inspect the river embankment.

Seeing these squires who scolded him give in, Eunuch Tao felt extremely relieved.

"Su Xianggong really has a way to subdue these cunning evil gentry!"

Su Ze said: "The old money in their hands is less than one-tenth of the old money on the market. It is the Huang family and several other families who are really holding a lot of old money. They haven't let go yet."

Eunuch Tao said: "But as long as these people let go, as you scholars said, it's like a hole in the dam, the whole dam will collapse soon, right?"

Su Ze looked at Eunuch Tao and said, "The embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in an ant's nest. Eunuch is right. As long as the hole is loosened, Eunuch can mint more new money, and people with old money in their hands will be even more panicked." .”

Sure enough, as Su Ze expected, the local gentry alliance, which was originally united, began to sell old coins crazily after a crack appeared inside.

Eunuch Tao accepted all of them according to the order, but he just wanted to separate the copper coins of different colors and substances into copper, and invited Eunuch You to spend some more effort.

This technology is not difficult. At the end of the Ming Dynasty, the Ming court collected a large number of copper coins and cast red cannons with iron galls and copper shells. With the help of Dajian Furnace craftsmen, Xiao Gonggong improved the process of smelting brass.

The problem of raw materials was solved. Before the Mid-Autumn Festival, Mr. Tao, who had already exchanged enough old money, ordered all the hydraulic workshops to be fully powered.

The mint stepped up its operation, and Mr. Tao had a lot of money and a small amount of money, and he became a rich man in Fujian.

Mr. Tao handed out "ten ten" and "twenty" money to the peasants who worked on the construction site. These small money flowed into the hands of ordinary people through the peasants, and quickly circulated among the common people.

The big money of "Dang 50" was used to exchange the old money in the hands of big households. Those big households who hoarded a large amount of old coins knew that Tao Gonggong was robbing money, but as more new coins entered the market, the new coins quickly filled up. It overcomes the predicament of insufficient currency in the market before.

On the eve of the Mid-Autumn Festival, except for the Huang family on Wufeng Mountain, the rest of the families basically surrendered.

The Huang family finally won the property dispute lawsuit by pawning their property, but looking around, the other landlords had already left the big pit of Wufeng Mountain.

"It's a hurricane!"

Although Nanping County is still some distance from the coastline, this year's typhoon is extremely fierce. Nanping County has been raining for two consecutive days.

The rain curtain on the eaves was lifted, and the old butler in coir raincoat rushed into the ancestral hall and said to the Patriarch of the Huang family:

"Master, the embankment on Wufeng Mountain can't hold up anymore!"

Huang Shixing's father was also an old scholar, and he didn't have the demeanor of a scholar at this time, so he pulled the housekeeper and said:

"That dead eunuch dug the embankment? I'm going to the government office, no, I'm going to sue him!"

The old butler knelt on the ground and said, "This year's hurricane is particularly severe, and the water level of the Minjiang River has risen by 30%. This year, no one has repaired the embankment, so naturally it can't keep the water out."

Bad news always came one after another. Huang Shixing came in in a panic: "Father! Baizhi County is going to Wufeng Mountain! It is said that the downstream water is rising, and the embankment must be destroyed to relieve the downstream flood!"

"Where's Zhang Tuiguan! What did he say?"

Huang Shixing said with tears in his eyes: "The Minjiang River is flooding, and everyone in the Yamen of Yanping Mansion will be punished. The Tuiguan Office has withdrawn the yamen servants, saying that they agreed with Eunuch Tao to destroy the embankment to store water and release the flood!"

Huang's father could hardly stand, and Huang Shixing rushed up to support him.

Could it be that even the flooding of the Minjiang River was included in Su Ze's calculations? The Huang family father and son felt deep fear.

On Wufeng Mountain, Su Ze closed the family tree brought by crossing, "In the year of Yimao, there was a hurricane in September, and the entire territory was flooded, thirty houses were destroyed, and there was another major epidemic."

This year, there is flood discharge from Wufeng Mountain, and the Jianxi River has been treated before. The lower reaches of the Minjiang River should not be so tragic, right?
