rebirth first official

Because of Li Jingruo's matter, Gao Zhanming was quite angry.He didn't want to waste his energy on intrigue with Li Jingruo, and it happened that the imperial court's allocation of funds to Jiazhou had also arrived, so Gao Zhanming let go of his hands and feet and planned to do something big.

Although the plague of locusts has been brought under control, Jiazhou Prefecture has suffered from the plague of locusts for two years. The people are impoverished and supplies are scarce.

Gao Zhanming put all his attention on these things.

Gao Zhanming's first thing to do was to open a school, an orphanage and a medical hall.

Due to the previous famine, many families could not afford to support their newborn children, so they dumped infants and young children on the street.In one or two years, there were a lot of abandoned babies in Jiazhou Prefecture. The government could not just watch the abandoned children starve to death, so they ordered officials and rich households to adopt them. Not necessarily willing to accept them, Gao Zhanming advocated the establishment of orphanages to focus on adopting infants and young children whose parents died or were abandoned. If there are childless people who want to adopt, the children can only be taken away after the government registers and guarantees.After these abandoned babies and orphans are brought up, they need to learn art or do a few years of corvee to pay off debts for the government. After that, they can get a clean background.

The medical halls are also funded by the government, and private doctors are hired to treat diseases for the common people.Because of the famine, the people were poor and had no money for treatment when they got sick. Many people survived the famine period, but lost their lives because of minor injuries and illnesses that were not treated in time and turned into major disasters.In order to improve this situation, Gao Zhanming set out to establish the official medical hall, and recruited doctors with medical skills from the people. He had to pass the examination and treat people in the official medical hall. Not only could he get paid, but he also set up special official positions for these people. people, raising their status.There used to be a lot of barefoot doctors in the folk. Some of these people have real talents and real learning, and some of them are swindling for fame and money. The prices are very confusing. The common people don't know who can really save lives. They often spend money and are delayed by quack doctors. killed.The government originally had medical institutions, but these doctors were bureaucrats and soldiers to see doctors, and the manpower was too small, and the common people couldn't afford it.As soon as the medical hall was set up, a large number of private doctors poured in. After the assessment, those with real skills stayed, and the price of seeing a doctor was fixed, instead of being set by barefoot doctors at will, and the common people felt relieved.

As for the academies, the government funded the hiring of teaching staff, and those who participated in the corvee or military personnel in the folk could get a place to study for free. In this way, some poor people also had the opportunity to study.If Gao Zhanming had spare time, he would personally go to the academy to teach and preach.In order to obtain these quotas for public welfare, he actively participated in the corvee military service, and the matter of escape from military service that had been a headache for the government in the past few years was also resolved.

The establishment of these facilities has another benefit.After the busy spring season, the common people have nothing to do, the New Year's harvest will have to wait for a few months, and the savings in their hands have been exhausted. Many poor people have problems eating. It is impossible for the government to release food out of thin air. Several halls require a lot of manpower, so ordinary people flock to schools and orphanages, where they can work and receive money, and the people's livelihood is temporarily solved.

However, these series of measures are all big ones, and they require strong support and funding from the government.Gao Zhanming is only a county magistrate with limited powers, and Liu Rukang can only help.However, Li Jingruo helped with all his might, not only implemented his policies in Jiazhou Prefecture, but also established schools, orphanages, etc. in several other prefectures, and even named the measures to benefit the people in Jiazhou Prefecture after Gao Zhanming, "Jun The plaques of "Junliang Academy" and "Junliang Medical Center" were hung up after the opening.

For the rest of the medical centers, schools, etc., in order to reduce the pressure on the government, Li Jingruo released an official document asking wealthy households in Sichuan to pledge donations. Those who donate money to build schools and medical centers can be named after themselves, and they can also get trade credits. Convenience or spending money to donate one's family background, many wealthy merchants generously donated their money and pledged donations in order to improve their background or make a name for themselves.

After the establishment of the school and the orphanage, Gao Zhanming began to use his brains to increase the output of the people.He hangs his beam to read books such as "Tiangong Kaiwu" and "Qimin Yaoshu" every day, and asks the government to set up a special fund to recruit high-level folks to improve water conservancy, roads and other convenience measures, and initially implements his work in the past. Several measures suggested to Gao Qiang in the capital were not adopted.

Back then, Gao Qiang didn't use his political views, but Gao Zhanming could understand it.In that position, Gao Qiang is not in charge of the people of hundreds or thousands of miles, but the people of the whole world.Her eyes are too high but too shallow, she is old, she may not be in power for a few years, the country is full of internal and external troubles, the Zhao family will replace the Gao family anytime and anywhere, and the emperor treats her secretly, she is If she has the heart to govern the world, she may not have time to see results. Therefore, her first priority is to eradicate the Zhao family and other opposition parties, and maintain the prosperity and wealth of the Gao family. After that, she may have leisure time to manage the people in the world. Hunger is full.

Gao Zhanming sincerely thanked Gao Qiang for sending him to Jiazhou.When he arrived in Jiazhou, he was temporarily away from power struggles, so he didn't have to worry so much, he had enough time and energy to do these things, not to mention Liu Rukang and Li Jingruo's support, he was like a fish in water.

One day Gao Zhanming returned home after inspecting the newly built waterwheel, walked into the yard, and saw Li Jingruo looking at the account book.

When Li Jingruo saw Gao Zhanming coming back, he shook the ledger in his hand and said, "Madam, you really know how to spend money."

Gao Zhanming walked up to him and sat down. He glanced at the account book in his hand. The expenses in the past few months were indeed too high. In order to support him, Li Jingruo almost took out all the old books. There are still 1 taels of tax and rent paid by the state. I am afraid that by the end of this year, Li Jingruo will not be able to earn a penny, and he will have to think about how to explain to the court.

Seeing Li Jingruo's sad face, Gao Zhanming couldn't help being in a good mood: "This is a century-old project. After a hundred years, Li Dudu will be famous in history."

Li Jingruo smiled, stretched his waist, and said, "I won't be around in a hundred years, so it doesn't matter what is written in the history books. Could it be that in Madam's heart, I am such a person who wants to admire fame?"

Gao Zhanming raised his eyebrows: "You're not someone who knows how to trade at a loss. If you dare to use me, you have already figured out the pros and cons of it."

Li Jingruo sighed: "Ma'am, why are you becoming more and more utilitarian? What you said made me feel sad for my husband. I worked hard to earn this money, and it was just for my wife."

Gao Zhanming laughed: "You work hard to make money? When? Are you selling yourself?"

Li Jingruo raised his eyebrows: "I sell myself, will you buy it?"

Well, the topic went back and forth.

Gao Zhanming didn't bother to talk to him, threw the ledger back on him, and got up to go back to the house.

"Hello." Li Jingruo felt aggrieved.

The corner of Gao Zhanming's mouth curled up, and he lazily said: "Thank you!" He was sincerely grateful to Li Jingruo, and he also saw Li Jingruo's pampering to him.It's a pity that although Li Jingruo is a child of the royal family, he is only a governor, and his power is still limited.If the emperor could have Li Jingruo's broad-mindedness, it would be really... I can't think about it anymore, it would be treason to think about it again.

Li Jingruo stopped him behind him: "It will take three to five years for your measures and decrees to see results. Those people in Beijing may not be willing to let you enjoy yourself in Jiazhou for three to five years. You have worked hard to do these things." , is it really worth it?"

Gao Zhanming said: "Didn't you name those academies and medical centers after me?"

What Li Jingruo said, he actually understood in his heart.Now that he is in Jiazhou, he doesn't want to think about those annoying things in the court, but if he doesn't want to, it doesn't mean it doesn't exist.When he made some achievements, or the struggle between the Gao and Zhao families became more intense, Gao Qiang might call him back to Beijing.He is still a county magistrate now, and he did these things beyond his power. Although it is his credit, others may not know it. In the end, it is his immediate superiors, such as Li Jingruo and Liu Rukang, who receive the credit.These are also the reasons why they are willing to support him vigorously.But if Li Jingruo named the academy and the medical center in his name, things would be different.The large-character signboard was hung there, and passed down for years and decades. In the end, no one would remember who the prefect of Jiazhou Prefecture and the governor of Sichuan were, but they all knew that they were apprentices from Junliang Academy. If you can become a scholar, you must call yourself Gao Zhanming's disciple.He couldn't help but appreciate Li Jingruo's affection for him.

Gao Zhanming said: "For the future, let's talk about it later, the most important thing is to do the immediate thing well."

Li Jingruo said with a smile: "I think so too. After I die, no matter what the flood is, what can be caught right now is the one that should be caught. Ma'am, when will you give it to me..."

Before he could say the word warming the bed, Gao Zhanming rushed into the room and closed the door forcefully.
