Chapter Seventeen
第十七章敲山震虎杀鸡儆猴
Li Jiancheng stared at Li Yuan blankly.
Li Yuan looked calm at this time, even calm and terrifying.
Li Jiancheng said in confusion: "But, my dad wants to kill him?"
"Yes, I still want to kill him now. Because I don't kill this person, I will not be able to sleep day and night, and the court will not be able to rest...! Li Yuan asked Li Jiancheng back and said, "Dou Jiande is in his arms, this is not a matter of one sentence. Tens of thousands of troops, more than a hundred generals, thousands of captains, civil and military officials, not just a thousand people, they must be properly placed. Song Zhengben, Ling Jing, Gao Yaxian, Cao Zhan and others, but they will be really loyal to the court because they became officials of the Tang Dynasty and received the salary of my Li family?
Li Jiancheng shook his head and said, "This is probably... very difficult."
"Yes, it's very difficult. Song Zheng was originally just a county magistrate. Because Dou Jiande had already made Xia Guo's words, he was inferior to one person and above millions of people. There is also Ling Jing, who was originally just a down-and-out scholar. Dou Jiande appointed his Imperial College as a pride. This is the key office that is second only to the three provinces and six ministries. Gao Yaxian is just a powerful man. Cao Zhan is a bankrupt. Dou Jiande gave them all the titles of the third rank. I can't give them all these."
Li Jiancheng said thoughtfully: "Then we can't kill Dou Jiande for the time being. To deal with Dou Jiande's men, we must disperse them. We must use means, use power, divide, and pull a group of people to attack a group of people. All the soldiers in Hebei are afraid of Chen Ying, so it is better for my father to ask Chen Ying to come forward and reorganize the Hebei army, collect their generals and support them, and take their military strength. Only in this way can these tens of thousands of soldiers and horses truly become owned by the Tang Dynasty and be used by my father!"
Li Yuan nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, this move is exactly what I want. As long as Dou Jiande is killed, the Hebei army will have no leader, and they will have no loyalty and can only accept their fate."
Li Jiancheng shook his head and said, "Dad, Dou Jiande cannot die yet. It is better to kill someone and kill him first and then kill him."
"Sad the heart?" Li Yuan asked in confusion: "Tell me, what are your constitutions?"
"Yes!" Li Jiancheng explained: "Ling Jing is a man with great talent and courage, and is also loyal to Dou Jiande. With him by Dou Jiande, whether he is reorganizing troops or bribing generals and subordinates, I am afraid that they will fail in the end. To truly conquer Hebei, Ling Jing must die!"
Li Yuan nodded.
Li Jiancheng continued: "On the one hand, we must shock Dou Jiande, so that he dare not act rashly; on the other hand, we must let Hebei generals and civil and military officials see that the court wants to kill people, but Dou Jiande cannot stop Ling Jing. Ling Jing has a low position in Hebei, but he is respected as a gentleman by civil and military officials. Dou Jiande cannot even protect him, who can he still be able to protect? Only in this way can Hebei generals and subordinates depart from Dou Jiande and surrender to the court."
Li Yuan looked at Li Jiancheng with a look of praise in his eyes.
Li Jiancheng paused and looked at Li Yuan and said solemnly: "So, killing Ling Jing is a shock to Dou Jiande; in Hebei, it is a killing chicken to warn monkeys..."
Just as Li Yuan and Li Jiancheng were planning how to deal with Dou Jiande, Chen Yingze discussed with Li Xiuning how to build a hospital.
The reason for making such a decision is very thoughtful and powerful. For example, improving the health and medical conditions of the Tang Dynasty, improving the general public's difficulties in curing diseases, and the shortage of resources for curing diseases. Of course, Chen Ying was not without selfishness, because the profits inside were too great.
The profits of smuggling are about twice, the profits of real estate developers are about ten times, and the profits of drug trafficking are about dozens of times, but the profits of hospitals are hundreds or thousands or even tens of times.
What finance and stocks are simple and weaker than hospitals.
The key is that opening a hospital is not like the metallurgical industry, which is directly related to a country's overall strength and defense pillar industry. Such an industry consumes the most. Therefore, even if Chen Ying does not hand over the steel industry, if the court and Chen Ying launch a trade war and the source of goods is stuck, Chen Ying will not be able to play with it at all.
However, opening a hospital is different.
In later generations, Chen Ying thought of helping some people to sell limited medical categories, just like wine and food. A piece of sesame cake on a street stall costs one dollar, but in a five-star hotel, it costs dozens of dollars. However, the difference of dozens of times has never been questioned.
For example, Qingdao shrimps cost 38 yuan each. It sounds a bit incredible, but in many high-end restaurants in Beijing, the unit price of a shrimp is definitely more than 38 yuan each, but people think this is a matter of course.
Chen Ying's concept of opening a hospital is the same. It has both civilian consumption and VIP consumption. Civilian medical care can be affordable or low-priced. For aristocrats, it adopts supreme services, beautiful supporting environment, and super high medical costs.
After Chen Yinglian's gestures and talking, and spending countless sketches on the paper, Li Xiuning finally understood Chen Ying's general idea.
Li Xiuning said: "Although your idea is good, it is not feasible."
Chen Ying said: "Why is there no feasibility?"
Li Xiuning said: "Although I don't understand your hospital, even if it is to cure diseases and save people, you must have a doctor, who will go to the hall, are you?"
"The doctor's problem is naturally easy to solve. Isn't there an elderly imperial physician in the Imperial Medical Department? I can rehire them as a doctor!" Chen Ying knew that people often trust famous doctors and miraculous doctors.
The Imperial Doctor is a famous doctor with his own traffic. As long as he quits, the former Imperial Doctor XX will naturally gather in a lot of patients.
Li Xiuning nodded, but she knew that the Taichangshi of the Tang Dynasty was under the jurisdiction of the general sub-soceanic society, Taile, Gongshu, Taibu, Linxi, and temples. Among them, there were more than 300 doctors. Of course, there were also medical officers, doctors, medical officers, medical workers, and pharmacists. According to daily habits, they would also raise some people due to old age and weak health.
Although the court will be responsible for their life problems after these doctors retired, the key is that the official ranks of the Imperial Medical Office are very low, and two people are ordered to go down from the seventh rank, two people are ordered to go down from the eighth rank, and eight people are ordered to take charge of medical treatment. There are four types of medical treatment: one is a doctor, two is acupuncture, three is a masseur, and four is a mantra. All of them are taught to be doctors.
The salary of the imperial physician was not high, but after retiring, their treatment was even lower, and they could not even enjoy the treatment of the Zhechong Mansion Team.
The key is that these imperial physicians have a bit awkward identities. First of all, they were imperial physicians, but without the glamorous robes of the Imperial Medical Office, they could not walk around the streets or sit in the hall like ordinary doctors, relying on their meager salary. Although they have no worries about food and clothing, they live in Chang'an but are not satisfied.
Chen Ying said: "We can do this, and ask our father to give a kind order. Our hospital will be placed under Taichang Temple and set up a new Boren Hospital, with one medical order and two ministers, who are at the same level as the Imperial Medical Office, so that they can enjoy the treatment of official ranks and salary. In this way, Boren Hospital should not have to worry about finding a doctor."
Li Xiuning nodded and said, "If this is the case, then you can try it! But where is your Boren Hospital?"
Chen Ying smiled and said, "This is even simpler. Just buy another big house in Chang'an City. The requirements are not too high. The environment needs to be quiet, the scenery needs to be beautiful, and of course it needs to be big enough. At least it must be bigger than our house. If you buy the house, let's renovate it together."
Li Xiuning smiled bitterly and said, "This is really not simple. The big houses in Chang'an City all have masters, and I have never heard of anyone who wants to take action on the house."
In ancient times, it was not like in modern times. Build real estate for sale. In ancient times, real estate was ancestral property. They would not sell their houses unless they were natural disasters and man-made disasters were forced to do so.
Chen Ying gritted his teeth and said, "At worst, you can spend more money. Things that can be solved with money are not a problem!"
Li Xiuning laughed and said, "Actually, you don't have to buy it anymore. If you don't think it's remote, I have a house. In fact, it's not a house, but a Furong Garden in the previous dynasty!"
"Furong Garden?" Chen Ying was stunned: "Is Furong Garden yours?"
"Of course!" Li Xiuning nodded and said, "My father gave me Furong Garden, but I never lived there, I just went to take a look."
Furong Garden also has another name, Qujiangchi. It was changed by Emperor Ming of Tang Li Longji, and he and Yang Guifei also held banquets in Qujiangchi. Chen Ying never thought that the entire Qujiangchi was the property of Li Xiuning.
The entire Qujiang Pond covers an area of more than 400 acres. It can be imagined in Chang'an, a place where every inch of land is valuable.
Chen Ying smiled in his heart. Li Xiuning was not only very beautiful, but also very rich. Compared with Prince Gong’s mansion in the backyard, you can tell how much Furong can be worth.
Chen Ying said impatiently: "Let's go and have a look together!"
