Chapter Thirty-ninth Planning and Discussion

Chapter 39: Practice

Wang Jinghui not only felt a headache when he thought of cultivating talents: it turned out that reading the protagonists of those superficial novels in the 21st century was like playing, but when he came here, he couldn't even get out of this little time. Fortunately, these children still need to lay the foundation now. Although he is very eager for talents, this will not be solved in a short time. He does not need those illiterate talents. Among the orphans he adopted, there are few children like Li Shen who have been well-educated since childhood. Most of the children are born from

In poor families, if they don’t even have enough food, do they still have enough money to get education? Among them, there are only a few dozen people who still recognize words. Wang Jinghui plans to concentrate the children who are good at studying among the orphans they are adopting in civilian clinics and put them next to him for more detailed training: if someone is interested in learning the Four Books and Five Classics, then put them with Li Shen. The direction of these children’s development is scholars or entering the official career; if someone is interested in science such as medicine and machinery, then train them into great scientists of the Shen Kuo type.

Wang Jinghui now has something in his stomach. Although he studied medicine in another time and space, he still knows the most basic knowledge of mathematics, physics, chemistry and other natural subjects. Although he dare not say that he can be called the boss in these aspects in this era, he probably can't find a few of them at his level. In addition, his abnormal head, in order to conceal his "talent" in poetry, he made up for the orthodox "Chinese Studies" for a long time. He asked himself that even if he couldn't get the title of top scholar in the imperial examination hall, he was quite sure to get the title of Jinshi. The reason why he made up for the Four Books and Five Classics was to cater to scholars of this era, because in the future, he would often interact with Ouyang Xiu, Sima Guang, and Su Shi, who "read only the books of sages", how could he do not have any ink in his stomach? Wasn't he looked down upon by them?

Wang Jinghui's cultivation of these talents is not selfish to use for me. In his vision, these children are seeds of hope. He, a cultivator, will grow old day by day and die one day, but these saplings are his hope. They will inherit their thoughts and continue to promote the development of society from all aspects until history has a new choice. As for what political views these children hold when they grow up when they are in politics, he is not worried about it. At most, they are just a tip. He only hopes to influence them with his half-baked "experience", and use their hands to bring some new ideas to this lovely dynasty and give this dynasty a brand new choice.

It just so happened that Wang Jinghui was still free during this period, because since he and the Sun brothers revised "Su Wen" together and handed it to the Correction Medical Bookstore for review, different opinions from those famous doctors came like a tide. Just by explaining, they were so busy that they were very happy. At the beginning, the questions raised by the reviewers were quite valuable. Wang Jinghui not only recorded them one by one, but also gave a convincing explanation based on classics, but later it changed a little, and the focus began to shift to where a certain sentence came from, so it was meaningless. Wang Jinghui thought about his work at the Correction Medical Bookstore last night, and felt that he could not be deeply trapped in such a quagmire. He thought that in the future, he might as well take out the revised books directly and let the Sun brothers be responsible for collecting valuable opinions for reference.

Wang Jinghui recalled that in the past month when he was revising "Su Wen", he was so busy that he had almost done nothing but revising medical books. He also regretted that he was too anxious: he thought that so many famous doctors in the historical Correction Medical Bookstore had only publicly published more than a dozen medical books after decades of struggle. He took out "Su Wen" in less than half a month. He was indeed a little too anxious. Looking at the scene of the current situation in the Correction Medical Bookstore, Wang Jinghui thought: This revised version of "Su Wen" was only modified by a small part of your historical achievements. In fact, it was only a few dozen sentences that made it like this. I really don't know how these famous doctors finally finalized the final version back then.

Wang Jinghui no longer has the intention to care about the final ending of "Su Wen" because he found that as soon as he entered the library of the Correction Medical Bookstore, he forgot about time like a possessed person. Although this helped to improve his medical books, he could not bear the time consumption because he found that the weather in Biandu was getting hotter and hotter!

"Damn it! Why did you forget the heavy rain in August!" Wang Jinghui thought with some annoyance. To be honest, this upcoming rain and flood disaster is considered "small cabbage" among the natural disasters of the Song Dynasty known to Wang Jinghui. As long as you do prevention in advance, there will be no deaths in this disaster. But so far, Wang Jinghui can only rot this news in his stomach and dare not say it out. After all, the charge of "spoken words" is very serious, so he can only rely on his own personal strength to do things within his ability, and hope that things will not become very bad.

As the capital of Kaifeng, the capital of Bian, has developed very rapidly since the founding of the Song Dynasty. Just the area of ​​Bian Capital is more than doubled than the 100-year-old money. Wang Jinghui was also immersed in the most prosperous city in the world. However, when Wang Jinghui thought about the upcoming event in August this year, he also found that the city was not as perfect as he imagined. A large part of the reason why Bian Capital was flooded by heavy rain was because its urban drainage system did not keep up with the development of the entire city. In addition, the petty bourgeoisie of the Song Dynasty was very serious. As long as people with a little strength were digging pools in their own courtyards to introduce live water to create landscapes. If these pools spread all over the city could still hold water in normal years when rain was not heavy, but if it encountered super heavy rain, the water level of the river at the source of the introduction of live water soared and flowed backwards, which would become a disaster.

"The official houses are indestructible, and many people drowned." The most serious losses in this rain and flood disaster are probably the wealthy households, because the construction of the garden introduces live water, which will definitely be lower than the average altitude of Biandu. Although this height difference is not usually seen, it is very prominent when it encounters heavy rain, which makes the pools in the garden a flood discharge area. No wonder even the emperor's palace was flooded. However, it still made the common people living in this city suffer. Their living environment is not very good. The wealthy households have the ability to save themselves after the disaster, but these poor people can only leave their fate, especially when the plague emerges after the disaster, their situation is even worse.

Wang Jinghui, the drainage system of the entire Biandu, could not change it. He did not study urban planning. He did not understand such problems at all, but he was a doctor and was very good at preventing the epidemic. Wang Jinghui took out a piece of manuscript paper and wrote intermittently on it with a quill pen: grain, medicinal materials reserve...

Wang Jinghui suddenly realized a problem: how did disaster relief work fall on him? No matter how great his ability is, he has more wealth, but there are very few people available for him! He is now thinking about leveraging his power. This matter is obviously not something that Xu's little power can solve. Wang Jinghui turned his attention to the court that likes empty talk.

The hottest topic in the court now is that Prime Minister Han Qi and others proposed to Yingzong to ask relevant departments to discuss the title of Yingzong's biological father. On April 9, the second year of Zhiping, Han Qi and others raised this issue. Yingzong issued an edict to send the proposal to the Taichang Liyuan and handed it over to officials with two systems to discuss, which triggered a debate that lasted 18 months. This is the famous "Puyi" in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty.

"Pu Yi" is so famous in the history of the Northern Song Dynasty. Of course, Wang Jinghui knew the cause and consequences of this matter, and he also knew very well that the key to achieving Yingzong Zhao Shu's care for his biological father was the old lady in Cishou Palace. If she had not nodded, Yingzong Zhao Shu and Han Qi and his group of ministers would have had a bloody relationship on this issue. However, compared with the rain and flood in August, Wang Jinghui did not care about this. The reason why he remembered the ongoing "Pu Yi" struggle in the court was to take this opportunity to win the support of the country and use the power of the country to establish the national epidemic prevention system, or even the national medical system in his mind. Once the epidemic prevention system is built, the heavy rain in August will not cause much harm to the Song Dynasty, because once the most headache-inducing epidemic problem after the disaster is curbed, the disaster relief work will become worth mentioning.

Now there are two forces in front of Wang Jinghui that can be borrowed by him. The first is of course the King of Ying Zhao Xu. This guy is the future emperor. Although he always makes him lose face, he does not stimulate him too much. Wang Jinghui originally wanted to go to the Jiejing Medical Bookstore to borrow medical books, but he didn't want to be the seventh-grade editor. It was because Zhao Xu proposed to let him become an official that he became the editor. The second is that Han Qi and Sima Guang, who was not familiar with Han Qi, and he had no other contact except when he met him when he reported to Jiejing Medical Bookstore on the first day. And his contact with Sima Guang is much closer than Han Qi. At least Sima Guang has a good impression of his free publication of the monthly magazine "Xuemei", and he knew that Sima Guang made his mark in the Puyi contest.

The ending of the Puyi contest is full of strange feelings in historical records, because this important court discussion that runs through the political career of Emperor Yingzong Zhao Shu actually lasted for eighteen months. It is estimated that this is something that the initiator Han Qi could not imagine now. The final outcome was that a decree from Empress Dowager Cao from Cishou Palace could easily solve the problem. However, the source of this decree in the history books that Wang Jinghui had read was very problematic, and all speculations were Han Qi and Ouyang Xiu made friends with the eunuchs around Empress Dowager Cao to take advantage of the loopholes. Wang Jinghui's solution was the same. However, if he told Sima Guang, a historian known for being upright and straight, he could imagine what the consequences would be. So he had only one way left: hand over the solution to King Zhao Xu of Ying in exchange for Zhao Xu's support for building the national epidemic prevention system.

Just as he was thinking about how to operate this matter, the door of the study was opened, and a child in servant clothes walked in with a pot of tea. Wang Jinghui saw that it was not the child who used to serve him tea, but Li Shen, the son of Manager Li! This surprised Wang Jinghui and said, "Shen'er, why are you here to do these rough work? The housekeeper? Call him here!"

Li Shen said: "Sir, you don't have to find a housekeeper anymore. This is what I should do! My father said that I would come and follow you!"

Wang Jinghui looked at Li Shen's still childlike face and walked to him and said with a smile: "Shen'er, you are still young, you need to hurry up and study, so that you can better help your father and me when you grow up!" As soon as he said that, he felt funny himself, as if the parents of the 21st century taught their children. He pondered for a while and said: "In a few days, a group of children as old as you will come to study with you. At that time, uncle will ask a teacher to teach you how to read."

Li Shen said, "My father said, let me follow you and watch you do things! I have read books and don't have to be with them and let the teacher teach you."

After hearing this, Wang Jinghui was stunned and asked, "Okay, tell me what books did you read to uncle?"

Li Shen said: "The Analects of Confucius, Spring and Autumn Annals, Shangshu, Mencius, and the Great..."

"God! Is this still a child? I have read so many books at such a young age. I'm afraid this is a child prodigy!" Wang Jinghui lamented in his heart after hearing Li Shen's answer. He asked, "Shen'er has read so many books! But do you understand the meaning of the book? Do you remember it after reading it?"

Li Shen smiled and said, "It was taught by the Master who was invited by his father at home. The Master praised me for having a good memory. I will remember it if I read the book twice more!"

"Disap! Is it still a human? The relationship is not much worse than my 'no-remember'!" Wang Jinghui was complaining about the child in front of him, which also reminded him of Wang Anshi, who was far away in Jinling. It is said that Cai Bian, the famous prodigy in history, was studying under him, right? But I don't know where his brother, Cai Jing, the notorious treacherous minister in history, was staying?

Wang Jinghui called the housekeeper Wang Fu over and gave him a special instruction on Li Shen's diet and daily life. He also asked him to notify the teachers who taught in the orphanage, asking them to examine all the orphans' homework in the past two days and select twenty of the best orphans to come here. Wang Jinghui plans to come out to teach these children personally. These children are his hope. When these children have been influenced by him since childhood and inherited the knowledge in his mind, they will either enter the official career or become businessmen, medical scientists, and scientists. What changes will the times bring to this era?

Wang Jinghui could not predict how great the butterfly effect these children had on history. What he was most concerned about now was the "Pu Yi" in the court. This debate would be related to the establishment of the epidemic prevention system he imagined. He knew that Emperor Yingzong Zhao Shu had not ended the Pu Yi for one day and won the battle, so he would not give up for a day, which made the Pu Yi last for eighteen months. In addition, Zhao Shu's health was not good at all. After such a fight, his life was almost over.

Wang Jinghui didn't know if he presented the strategy of Han Qi and others to Yingzong in history to buy the eunuchs around Empress Dowager Cao, and if the Pu Dynasty was successfully implemented and quickly ended, what impact would it have on the history of the Northern Song Dynasty? However, from history, although Emperor Yingzong was in power for a short time and most of his time was concentrated on the Pu Dynasty debate, Wang Jinghui saw something familiar from it: Yingzong Zhao Shu and his son Shenzong Zhao Xu both had a very similar quality - persistence, but unfortunately, Yingzong was short-lived and did nothing after the Pu Dynasty.

Now he only cares about two things most: one is to know what the Puyi has reached; the other is to quickly write the epidemic prevention system in his mind into a memorial in the form of words, so that he can throw it out while he is playing Tai Chi with King Zhao Xu of Ying, otherwise it will be too late. Wang Jinghui's memorial does not expect to establish an epidemic prevention system in a very short time. That would be unrealistic. His goal is to establish a city-level epidemic prevention system to deal with the upcoming rain and flood disasters.

Wang Jinghui rarely appeared in some teahouses and restaurants in the city for several days. He has not been so leisurely since he came to Kaifeng, Biandu. However, he came to the teahouse these days to find out the news and see what the outside world reacted to the ongoing "Pu Proposal" in the court, so as to judge the intensity of the quarrel between the ministers in the court now. Although this was learned by Wang Jinghui based on martial arts novels, it is indeed very easy. Maybe it is because he is a neighbor with the emperor. The most common topics of the people of Biandu are which minister and the emperor's old reaction, and he has a gaze. In addition, a few scholars talk about it. The political atmosphere in this teahouse is really strong!
