"What do you think? What do you mean?" Doctor Li was stunned when he heard this and almost put the moxa stick on Zhao Hao's Dazhui point.
"That's the literal meaning." Mr. Zhao whispered: "I hope that if I get sick, I can stay in the hospital for a period of time, preferably without visitors."
"Isn't that fraud?" Li Shizhen shook her head flatly.
"Mr. Li, please be accommodating." Zhao Hao begged: "When Haigong took office, people in Jiangnan were panicked. Many people must have persuaded me to lobby Haigong. I could neither agree nor refuse, so I could only hide first. Wait. After a while, the rumors dispelled themselves."
"Hmm." Li Shizhen didn't know whether he understood or not, but still shook his head and said: "Young master, of course, it makes sense. But doctors are really valuable, and my medical ethics won't allow it."
"I'll teach you Biology later." Zhao Hao had no choice but to use his trump card. "It can make your "Compendium of Materia Medica" more systematic and scientific."
"Colds are originally caused by external factors, but if the evil is very deep and spreads throughout the meridians, it is called typhoid." Li Shizhen then changed his mind and said: "For a strong person, the evil will disappear after a few days; for a weak, the evil is difficult to resolve and will not be eliminated. You must not be careless and it is recommended to be hospitalized immediately.¡±

After moxibustion, Zhao Hao was pushed in a wheelchair into the small courtyard next to Lin Run's ward by head nurse Wang Tiedan, and lay down on a hospital bed covered with white sheets.
Wang Tiedan tucked Zhao Hao into bed, told him to have a good rest, and pull the bedside cord if necessary before going out.
¡°I don¡¯t know if it was a psychological effect or if Li Shizhen¡¯s medical skills were too high, but he felt much better. I finally had the strength to review my long conversation with Hai Rui.
??There is no doubt that the conversation was successful and strategic. Hai Rui's Jiangnan New Deal can greatly reduce the burden on farmers; secondly, the monetization of taxes and labor can also stimulate the development of the commodity economy. Zhao Hao and Jiangnan Company will naturally give their full support.
And whether it is a whipping method, equalizing land and grain, or even clearing out illegally occupied land, it must be based on clearing the land.
Lin Run has completed the purge of the Jiufu in the south of the Yangtze River, laying a solid foundation for Hai Rui. With the power of the new official taking office, Haigangfeng can even ignore Songjiang and implement it directly in the Jiufu.
This method seems to have temporarily spared the Xu family, but in fact it has dug the foundation of the Xu family. The reason why the people of Songjiang are determined to fight with the Xu family against the imperial court is because they are a community of interests.
In the past, in order to avoid taxes and servitude, mainly labor and various showdowns related to labor such as differential silver and liyin, a large number of Songjiang people made donations and borrowed the Xu family's privileges to evade taxes and servitude.
To surrender is to surrender as a slave, and to sacrifice is to give up one¡¯s property.
"Obviously, the act of making donations infringed on the interests of the court, and it also shifted a heavy burden to honest people who did not make donations.
Therefore, it is illegal to donate. The "Da Ming Law" contains clear words that both parties who donate "a hundred sticks and three years' service."
The "Regulations on Punishment" promulgated in the 27th year of Jiajing's reign further strengthened the crackdown on donation behavior. It is stipulated that "the donor will be sent to the army as a border guard forever, and the parents of the recipient will be involved in the punishment." That is to say, "the person who donates will be sent to the army as a border guard forever."
Someone may want to ask, in this case, the Xu family dares to blatantly break the law? Even if Mr. Xu Ge is shameless, won¡¯t his political opponents report him?
The answer is that it is difficult to report. Because the Xu family perfectly avoided illegal risks by taking advantage of legal loopholes
In this era, it is not easy to cultivate a scholar, and it is difficult for a family to sustain it, so it often depends on the entire family, or even clan, for financial support.
It is really unkind for scholars to enjoy privileges only for their own family after gaining fame. Therefore, the government also acquiesced in the donation between relatives.
What should I do if someone who is not a relative wants to donate?
The solution given by the Xu family is to treat the Xu family as a son, grandson, and great-grandson, and write the name into the Xu family tree, so that he will naturally become a member of the happy Xu family.
Xu Da, Xu Wu, Xu Liu, Xu Ba, Xu Xu, Xu Yang these are all surnames that were changed later.
But with such a noble surname as ¡®Xu¡¯, you can¡¯t just pick it up if you want. Only when you have made meritorious deeds and are recognized by the Xu family can you be given the surname Xu.
Most people can only join the Xu family by selling themselves into slaves. Although they have become slaves from free people, isn't it nice to be able to not pay taxes or serve in the military?
In fact, the government is clear about these two methods, but if one is willing to beat and the other is willing to suffer, and it is not illegal, what can you do?
? But a whip can change the rules of the game.
To put it simply, in the past, it was very cost-effective to donate money to avoid taxes and servitude. But after the reform of the One Whip Law, all the royal grain laborers were transferred to the fields and paid with money.??Pay taxes. If there is a lot of land, we should hand over it; if there is little land, we should hand over it; if there is no land, we should not hand over it.
In this way, it is not cost-effective for farmers without land in the first place, because they will be exploited by the Xu family as slaves. If there was no need to pay taxes or serve in the military, who would be willing to be a slave to the Xu family?
Even for those rich peasants and small landowners with little land, it is no longer worthwhile to be slaves of the Xu family. Because the filial piety they gave to the Xu family has exceeded the tax burden after the reform! Naturally, you will also feel panicked at the loss.
Therefore, when the people of Songjiang see the benefits of the New Deal, thousands of families who are attached to the Xu family will definitely regret it.
But the Xu family is not the Ming Dynasty¡¯s nine-border defense line, allowing you to come and leave whenever you want. Then there will be a good show to watch!
Mr. Zhao seemed to have seen the wonderful scene when the unscrupulous people whom the Xu family relied on turned around and attacked the Xu family.
Excited, he lay on the bed and danced.
"Oh, the young master has a fever now!" Sister Ma, who came over after hearing the news, burst into tears when she saw this scene. She threw herself in front of the bed and held him down, saying: "You were fine at noon, why did you turn your head? Are you so sick?"
"Uh" Mr. Zhao, who was so proud of himself for a moment, turned red with embarrassment. Sister Ma is a person of her own, so it¡¯s nothing. But Gang Leader Chen also walked in behind her.
Now, the stable image Mr. Zhao has worked so hard to create may be ruined
Unexpectedly, Chen Huaixiu only felt very guilty. She originally thought that Zhao Hao's previous reasons were just excuses. Unexpectedly, Young Master Zhao was really busy and tired, and he even got sick from exhaustion
With a slightly sore nose, she asked the head nurse who came after her: "Brother Wang, what disease does the young master have?"
Wang Tiedan picked up the medical record card on the bedside and took a look at it, and said with a loud voice: "Cold and typhoid, I don't know the cause of the disease!"
"Ah" When Chen Huaixiu heard the word typhoid, his face immediately turned pale. Not too many people died of typhoid in this era. Tears welled up in his eyes as he said, "He is still so young, how could he"
Secretary Ma was also frightened, hugged Zhao Hao's neck and said: "Don't talk nonsense, the young master will be fine!"
"Both of you, be quiet and don't listen to the wind or the rain." Nurse Wang had a bad temper and said in a rough voice: "It's a cold and typhoid fever, not the kind of typhoid fever you think. It usually doesn't kill people."
ps. Sorry, I was so excited when I wrote yesterday that I couldn¡¯t sleep all night. I feel so dizzy today that I can't sleep or write. There are only two updates left. I'll make up for it tomorrow if I owe an update. (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
