I'll hand over the system soon.

Chapter 112 The benevolence of doctors (38)

Gu Xingyun regretted that his intestines were turning green. This wasted time had caused countless people to die of hunger or be forced to sell their sons and daughters.

No further delay.

Gu Xingyun immediately said: "Sancho, what do those two crops look like and where do they grow? Please draw them as soon as possible and give them to me. I will soon send General Cheng out to sea to find the crops you mentioned!"

Gu Xingyun was anxious, but Sancho was not anxious anymore. She said slowly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be anxious. Going to sea is not a trivial matter. You must carefully plan the route and the goods to be transported."

"There are many overseas countries. The cloth, porcelain, tea, salt and other items of our dynasty are all extremely scarce overseas. There are also many gems, spices, etc. that our dynasty lacks overseas."

Sea trade The focus of sea trade is not on the sea, but on trade. Trade is all about exchanging what you have, exchanging what you have for what others don’t have, and then buying and selling. In this way, money can make money.

"Your Majesty may wish to purchase some goods and let General Cheng sell and exchange them in the countries he passes along the route. In this way, not only can he earn back the principal of the voyage, but he can even replenish the national treasury." Sancho sincerely suggested.

How much does a silver mine cost? Silver mines are dead and their reserves are fixed, but the benefits that sea trade can bring are endless.

Thanks to Sancho's inspiration, Ning Yuan also had some ideas. He touched his chin and suggested with evil intentions: "Your Majesty may contact those aristocratic families first."

In the battle between the Daxuan Dynasty and the Dali Dynasty, who suffered the least damage was none other than those aristocratic families.

These aristocratic families are like local emperors, standing in one place, and when the world is stable, they come out to serve as officials and do business, whatever is beneficial to them.

When the world is in chaos, they hide away from the world and wait for the world to stabilize before they come out to take a share of the pie.

How can such a good thing happen in this world? It's time for them to bleed.

Gu Xingyun and Ning Yuan have known each other for many years and have a good understanding. It only took a moment to understand what Ning Yuan was up to.

According to Sancho, it is possible to make a lot of money by going to sea, but the dangers at sea are also real.

If the fleet can come back safely, everyone will be happy, but if they can't come back, they will lose everything.

Such risks are suitable for those aristocratic families to share.

The two looked at each other with a tacit understanding and made a decision in the blink of an eye.

Although Sancho didn't have a tacit understanding with them, she had a brain, so she naturally understood what they were thinking.

It's just that she knows the benefits of sea trade better than they do, so she takes more risks.

"I wonder if your majesty can leave some space for me on the ship?" Sancho asked tentatively.

Gu Xingyun shouldn't be so stingy if he takes a smooth sailing?

Gu Xingyun was stunned, "Mr. Sang also wants to buy some goods and let General Cheng help you sell them?"

Sancho nodded: "The 30,000 taels we just got cannot be left gathering dust in the warehouse."

Money has to flow to be called money, otherwise it's just a pile of useless metal.

Moreover, there are many places where she will need money later, and just thirty thousand taels is not enough for her.

Gu Xingyun stopped talking and glanced at his think tank Prime Minister. Both of them understood that they had underestimated the benefits that this trip to sea could bring.

They all know Sancho's character, and she cannot be more cautious. She occasionally takes risks because she is sure that the benefits brought by the risks are worth trying.

The same must be true for this overseas trade. Even if there is a risk of the ship being damaged and the cargo sinking, she still wants to get involved. This only shows that once the ship returns safely, the funds she invested will probably increase several times.

If the income is so high, then they need to carefully discuss how much money should be invested by those aristocratic families.

Maybe we can also ask the ministers in the DPRK, but who else wants to get involved.

When the rewards for merit were first discussed, because Cheng Biao's silver had not yet been shipped back and he himself was very poor, he was only rewarded with official positions and residences, and there was no additional material reward.

The reward was too thin. As an emperor, he still felt a little guilty. Now that he had the opportunity to make a fortune for the courtiers, it was his compensation for them.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Xingyun said: "In that case, don't be in a hurry. Go back and describe the crops you are looking for, and then give me a copy of the information you know that can be exchanged with overseas. I will change it." This matter will be discussed in detail in court tomorrow."

Sancho took the order, asked Cheng Biao to send a few people to help, and returned with his thirty thousand taels of silver.

When the silver was brought into the house, Shen Quan was so shocked that he could not walk steadily. No matter how Sancho tried to persuade him that night, Shen Quan insisted on sleeping in the warehouse.

Then the next day when he woke up, his waist was so stiff that he couldn't move. Sancho had to give him injections for a long time before he recovered.

After giving Shen Quan the injection, Sancho rushed to court with high spirits.

Today, I can't help but have another round of verbal quarrels with fellow scholars. I need to keep my mental outlook in good shape.

Sancho expected it to be true. As soon as the proposal to open a medical school and a medical office was presented, there was an uproar in the upper court, with people talking and shouting so hard that their ears hurt.

"It's simply ridiculous. What's the point of opening a medical school? How can it be so easy to learn medicine? It's easy to be unable to graduate in three to five years. Once the medical school opens, how long will it take for doctors to graduate? Who will bear the cost during this period?"

"That is, we still need to open medical offices in various places. Is this something that can be solved with just a little money? The national treasury has no money!"

Most of the people who withdraw money are officials from the Ministry of Household Affairs.

Sancho pouted, could she not know whether the treasury had money or not? Yesterday, she watched the silver being carried into the treasury with her own eyes.

Gu Xingyun, who was sitting above, coughed awkwardly. The excuse that the treasury had no money was a bit too much. There was still a little money in the treasury, not only in the treasury, but also in his private treasury.

"Sangyuan magistrate still wants to cultivate medicinal materials artificially? How can medicinal materials be grown easily? Even if medicinal materials are easy to grow, then the people will go to grow medicinal materials, and who will grow the food? Could it be that the people should drink the northwest Wind?!"

"Leaving aside the cultivation of medicinal materials, what does the Mulberry Court ruling mean by reducing the cost of medical treatment for the people? Is it to sell the medicine to the people at a loss? Then shouldn't the loss be borne by the court?"

"That is, if it were to be borne by the imperial court, the treasury would be too full to hold it, and it would not be enough for the Sang court to squander it so much."

After all the ministers in the court expressed their opinions one by one, Sancho cleared his throat and said: "My lords, have you finished speaking? If you have finished speaking, you might as well listen to a certain statement."

Under the watchful eyes of the ministers, Sancho calmly explained his plan in detail.

"I know that it is not easy for doctors to study for a long time, but because of this, doctors are scarce in the world. One of the original intentions of the medical school is to train more doctors for the people, and after these doctors complete their studies, they will be sent to Medical offices in various places are under the jurisdiction of the medical offices.”

By then, these doctors who work in the medical department will be affiliated with the imperial court, and they will be regarded as civil servants, and they will eat + public food.

Ten minutes late, the second update is here.
