Datang: Showdown, your father and I are Li Shimin

Chapter 78
"Your Majesty, I think that I really dare not lose the big because of small things. Although doctors are important, there are only a handful of diseases in the world that can be cured. There is no need to build medical schools in various places in the Tang Dynasty. It is an honor to be an official, and there are only a few people who practice medicine, and the medical hall will only be empty and abandoned, and the gain is not worth the loss." Pei Xiu also stood up quickly and followed behind Li Xuandao.

Before Pei Xiu could finish speaking, Pei Lu also stood up and stood behind his elder brother and said, "Your Majesty, the doctors in the world, even Dr. Sun, are wandering around in the Tang Dynasty. Only in this way can we continue to train doctors." Skills, if a medical center is built, the doctors will stay at home, and there will be very few patients who can come into contact with them. On the contrary, the experience of the doctors will not be improved. According to Weichen, the construction of a medical school is not necessary lift."

Li Er sat on the Dragon Tower and looked around the group of officials, but he didn't find Pei Ji. He immediately looked at Pei Ji's two sons and asked, "Where is your father? Why didn't I see Prime Minister Pei?"

Pei Xiu turned his head and glanced at Pei Lu. Pei Lu glanced innocently at his elder brother, then took a step to the left and looked at Li Er and said, "My father has been ill recently, and he is bedridden and unable to go to court. The day before yesterday, my father asked me to submit a sick leave letter."

Li Er raised his eyebrows slightly, and then thought that he had been busy arranging those weird ideas put forward by Li Ze in the past few days, and he didn't come to read many things, and the medical certificate was probably still on his desk. .

"I'm afraid I lost it. It's okay. If I agree, I'll go and see for myself." Li Er waved his hand nonchalantly.

When a minister is sick, the king must visit him, and even pay for the minister to see a doctor. This is the rule of the past dynasties.

If Li Er hadn't said that, Wei Zheng would have remonstrated that he didn't care about his minister Balabala.

With the two brothers of the Pei family, as well as Li Xuandao and others, the voices of opposition intensified. Even those generals, because of the opposition of Yuwen Shiji, began to speak out to dissuade them.

After all, it is indeed a huge expense to build medical schools in various large state capitals throughout the Tang Dynasty.

With this money, I don't know how much armaments can be expanded.

Du Ruhui and the others heard more and more voices of dissuasion, secretly glanced at Li Er who was on the dragon floor, who was also restless, writhing helplessly on the dragon floor as if suffering from hemorrhoids.

He curled his lips for a while, frowned for a while, and looked very gloomy.

Although what these guys said made sense, Li Er still felt uncomfortable. After all, it was his son's suggestion, and since Ze'er had done so many things for himself and Datang, there was naturally a reason for him to expand medicine.

Moreover, military doctors can be regarded as expanding their armaments, so why not?
When the voices in the court gradually became quieter, Changsun Wuji came out to look at the crowd and said: "Everyone, I know very well that you have a lot of prejudice against doctors, but doctors have made great contributions to the Tang Dynasty. This smallpox, there is no doctor, and 20 people will be buried outside Chang'an City, it is Li Shenyi who turned the tide, stayed in the disaster area, and developed a cure for smallpox."

"As for all of you present, every time you feel cold, you will inevitably go to the imperial doctor of the Imperial Medical Office to seek prescriptions for healing. Throughout the ages, there have been many doctors, but most of them have traveled to the mountains and wilds, so they have not been taken seriously. The purpose of building a medical school today is to let the doctors There is a place to rest, so that the people around can have a place to heal their illnesses, think about it, when you are sick in bed, would you rather wait for a doctor to come to you, or go to the local medical school to seek medical treatment yourself?"

As soon as Changsun Wuji's words came out, he immediately fell silent.

Then he said: "Doctors are not all old people, there are many young talents in the Imperial Medical Office, such as Dr. Li, Meng Shen, etc. are not as weak as the crown, and the expansion of the army does not necessarily have to be recruitment. Purchasing armored weapons, if recruiting a group of young men with excellent medical skills to go out with the army, and the wounded and sick can be healed, isn’t it considered an expansion of armaments?”

After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, he retreated. Cheng Yaojin, Qin Qiong and the others immediately looked at each other in blank dismay. The doctor is with the army?
Are you kidding me?
Wouldn't it be a burden for a group of doctors who couldn't even hold a knife to go to the battlefield?
But Cheng Yaojin thought about it, and always felt that this proposal was not something that Changsun Wuji could come up with, so he looked over the crowd and looked at Changsun Wuji.

As the two looked at each other, Changsun Wuji smiled slightly at Cheng Yaojin. Cheng Yaojin immediately thought that Doctor Li probably brought up the matter, and immediately poked Qin Qiong with his arm: "Old Qin, this The thing is probably because of the idea proposed by Dr. Li, do you think it is feasible?"

Qin Qiong stroked his beard thoughtfully, looked at Li Er who was sitting on the dragon tower, squinted and whispered: "Don't worry, let's see what others say, I think His Majesty seems to be willing to support it."

The two glanced at each other, but did not stand up to express their position.

Hou Junji stood up abruptly like a buffalo, arched his eyebrows towards Li Ergong and said, "As a sergeant of the Tang Dynasty, there are only sergeants who died in battle, and there are no wounded soldiers! Once injured, they will only be given to the army. Adding to the burden, medical treatment requires a large amount of military funds, and the military salary needs to be supplemented, so it seems that it is better to die!"

Hou Junji's words were like thunder, especially after Li Er listened to him, he didn't think he was so heroic, but felt that this person had some brain problems.

Although it is true that many injured people on the battlefield will eventually beg their companions to understand themselves, but Li Er felt disgusted by putting this kind of thing on the surface, and only felt that this guy was cruel.

Cen Wenwen also followed Hou Junji and stood behind him: "Yes, Your Majesty, it takes a lot of herbs to heal soldiers, and the food and other military resources they carry every time they go out for an expedition are huge. It will add burden to the army and increase the expenditure of the Datang treasury."

When Qin Qiong heard what these two guys said, he suddenly became angry.

Casualties in war are unavoidable, and stabbing a companion to death because there is no medical treatment is a helpless act. Putting it in Hou Junji's mouth, it actually became natural.

And Li Shimin was also very angry, he had been injured before, if the generals under him hadn't forced him to escape, where would he be the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

"General Hou's words are wrong. Stabbing your comrades to death is a helpless act in war. How can you make it right? If there are doctors in the army, why would you deliberately stab your comrades to death? General Li, General Cheng And me, including myself, will be wounded more or less on the battlefield, and even Your Majesty, who is also often injured by Liu Ya, if according to what General Hou said, should I die if I am injured? Should General Li deserve to die if he is injured?"

"Don't you all die willingly after being wounded on the battlefield? Your Majesty, I think that it is not a burden to have doctors with the army. They can go to the war with the food logistics and station in the rear of the Chinese army. For the wounded, just send the rear army to send the wounded back, and it won't have any major impact on the main force." Qin Qiong was so angry that his eyes were about to bleed.

And the last sentence "Does His Majesty deserve to die if he is injured?" I still didn't dare to say it.

But everyone knows it well, and Li Er also knows what Qin Qiong's words mean.

Hou Junji was speechless for a moment, and the other generals didn't say anything more, but the voices of opposition from civil officials began to permeate again.
