Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Next, let¡¯s talk about the third item, which is to open the Huiminji Medical Hall in Guyang County.

    Huiminji Medical Hall is run by the Taoist Temple, and the county government provides the place.  Kong Xianzun had already found an abandoned old house in the county and transferred the house to Wujiyuan.  Liu Zhiguang has also begun to look for craftsmen to repair it, preparing to use this old house as the site for the Huiminji Medical Hall.

    The establishment of this medical hall is equivalent to an affordable pharmacy run by the Taoist temple, and it also serves as a simple door-to-door consultation.  It sounds like a good thing, but doing anything is not that simple. There are also two difficulties.

    One is the source of medicinal materials.  Because the price of medicines sold in the medical hall is very low, in terms of purchasing medicinal materials, it is certainly not as good as the drug stores run by several large households in the county. These large households may just mention the purchase price of medicinal materials, and it is very likely that Huiminji Medical Hall will be in trouble.  Unable to receive medicinal materials.

    "It is definitely not possible to use the medicinal materials produced in Wujiyuan's own medicine garden to offset the cost. These medicinal materials are sold at Huiminji Medical Hall at a low price. What should be used to hand over to the Huayun Hall for worship?

    Zhao Ran thought for a while and said: "I have opened a medicinal garden in Junshan. The medicinal materials produced there can be used as exclusive supplies for Huiminji Medical Hall for the time being. At the same time, I also want to encourage the people of Junshan to open their own medicinal gardens. The same is done by  Acquisition of Huiminji Medical Hall. In addition, I have reached an agreement with Lan Miaozhu of Shuihe Temple in Lizhou. Their place is suitable for planting medicinal materials. Junshan Temple will fund the opening of a large medicinal garden in Shuihe Village. The medicinal materials grown will be  Junshan Temple is fully subscribed.¡±

    Liu Zhiguang then raised the second problem: when medicinal materials are sold at low prices, how to prevent big households from rushing to buy medicinal materials at low prices, and then sell them at high prices in their own stores. Isn¡¯t Huiminji Medical Hall open in vain?

    Zhao Ran¡¯s original idea was to issue medical certificates to all people in the county based on the county¡¯s household registration book. With the certificates, each person could buy medicines, with a limit of 500 cents per person per year.  But if you think about it carefully, this probably won't work.

    There are more than 90,000 people in the county. How big is the workload?  How to prevent those who are not sick from selling their medical certificates to large households?

    The two of them discussed it over and over again, but couldn't come up with anything. Liu Zhiguang thought about it and simply said, "Why don't you call Chen Zhizhong over and ask him what he thinks?"

    ??Chen Zhizhong is a smart man and has many evil ideas. After Zhao Ran heard this, he agreed, and Liu Zhiguang sent someone to call Chen Zhizhong.

    When Chen Zhizhong heard that the abbot and the prison court came to him for advice, he was immediately overjoyed and ran over to fawn over them.

    Liu Zhiguang said: "Junior Brother Chen is sitting here. There is something I want to ask you to see if there is any good solution." So he told the story about Huiminji Medical Hall.

    After hearing this, Chen Zhizhong began to think hard, and he really came up with an idea.

    "Abbott, prison guard, I have thought of a stupid way, I don't know if it is feasible."

    Zhao Ran nodded to encourage, Liu Zhiguang said: "Speak quickly!"

    Chen Zhizhong said: "The original intention of Huiminji Medical Hall is to provide a place where all the people in the county can afford medical treatment and medicine. Selling medicine is not the purpose. Treating them is the purpose, right?  "

    "good!"

    "In this case, let's not sell medicinal materials at all, and cut off the hands of various large families extending to Huiminji Medical Hall at the root."

    "Don't sell medicine?"

    "Yes, we don't sell medicine, we sell medicinal soup. If any household is sick, they can come to Huiminji Medical Hall, and the medicine will be prescribed and brewed on the spot. It doesn't matter if you are willing to drink it on the spot or take a jar to drink the medicinal soup.  Whether you take it back or not, it¡¯s up to him. In short, what we give is medicinal soup. If other medicinal gardens want to take advantage, I¡¯m afraid it won¡¯t be that easy.¡±

    Zhao Ran and Liu Zhiguang¡¯s eyes lit up, this was a good idea.

    "The only troublesome thing is that we need to build more stoves for boiling medicine and more masters for boiling medicine," Chen Zhizhong said again.

    Zhao Ran added: ¡°We can also set up some hospital beds in the Huiminji Medical Hall to allow patients to rest while waiting.¡±

    The three of them got together to discuss and re-determined the specific implementation methods of Huiminji Medical Hall. Zhao Ran said simply: "Brother from the Supervisory Hospital is too busy with affairs. Please let Senior Brother Chen take charge of this matter. I hope that Senior Brother  Be more considerate.¡±

    After discussing the county's major affairs, Chen Zhizhong happily went to take over the affairs of Huimin Ji Medical Hall, while Liu Zhiguang was left behind by Zhao Ran.

    "How is the investigation going on the teachings in the county?" Zhao Ran asked.

    Liu Zhiguang said: "It has been verified. The issues reported by several students in the county school are true. Since the teaching took office, all monthly examinations have focused on Confucianism, and all the questions of the Taoist Scriptures have been reduced to one interpretation question, and in the planning  When selecting the rankings, Taoist questions were basically not taken into consideration. The few students who reported the problem had studied the Taoist scriptures deeply, because the teachingsJudgment, these few monthly exams have been reduced to second or even third class.  "

    The examinations in the county school are very important. At the end of the year, they will be judged based on the results of the monthly examination and the annual examination. If you are reduced to second or third class, you will lose your qualifications as a junior student, and you will not only lose the food and accommodation subsidies issued by the government  , and could not be promoted to the Imperial Academy, and even the chance to participate in the provincial examination was ranked low. It was very difficult to get the title of Juren.

    This is not a trivial matter, it is a major matter that affects the students' lifelong future. No wonder those students with excellent Taoist scriptures jointly reported it.

    Zhao Ran asked: "What is the purpose of this teaching?"

    Liu Zhiguang said: "This Li Jiaoyu said that the person who became the deputy envoy of Sichuan this year was the chief of the Ministry of Punishment, Xiang Zhiyuan. This chief Xiang once said, 'Tao is cultivation, Confucianism is cultivation, becoming an immortal is Tao, and governing the world is.  Confucianism'. Therefore, Li Jiaoyu believes that when Xiang Zhiyuan arrives in Sichuan and presides over the provincial examination next year, he must focus on Confucian classics."

    In each province of the Ming Dynasty, the academic envoys of each province concurrently served as the academic advisors. The academic envoys were also the academic advisors of each province. When the provincial examinations were held, the academic envoys served as the examiners as the academic advisors and summoned the learned scholars from the three divisions to serve as examiners.  Together with the examiner, he is responsible for setting and grading examination papers and other matters, and determining the ranking of the provincial examination.

    But what Liu Zhiguang means is that next year's rural examination in Sichuan will be presided over by this newly appointed deputy inspector. What does this mean?  So he asked: "Except for the North and South Zhili, the provincial examinations in each province are adjudicated by the provincial envoy. When did the deputy envoy preside over it?"

    Liu Zhiguang said: "Last winter, Zhang Cong, the minister of the Ministry of War, wrote to the emperor, saying that the rural examinations in each province were adjudicated by the three departments of the province, which was prone to cheating cases. He proposed to imitate the practice of Zhili in the north and south, and select examiners from the Hanlin, Sixth Section, and Sixth Ministry in Beijing to serve as provincial examiners.  The Deputy Envoy will preside over the provincial examinations in each province. After the provincial examinations, he will return to the capital for renewal. Now he will receive advice and submit it to the cabinet for decision, which will be implemented starting this year."

    Zhao Ran nodded. The chief examiner of the rural examination was appointed from Beijing. He temporarily served as the deputy local inspector. After presiding over the examination, he returned to Beijing and resumed his duties. This was indeed a way to prevent local officials from tampering with the rural examination. However, how could he be sent to Sichuan?  Is this the argument of this examiner?

    "Regardless of what happens in this year's provincial examination, let's just talk about Li Jiaoyu. Whether he is doing it for the purpose of answering the question or because he advocates Confucianism and Taoism, the style of study he leads in the county school is definitely wrong. What are your opinions on how to deal with it?  ?¡±

    "It is my intention to inform the county government and expel Li Jiaoyu from the county school. I wonder what the supervisor thinks?"

    "Okay. The other one, let him write a letter of repentance. If he doesn't write it, report it to Xizhenwu Palace and Xuanyuan Temple, and ask Xuanyuan Temple to write a letter and take off his title of Juren!"
