Chapter 1427 - Non-stop Pick-up
The sky was slightly bright, Chang Yu, who had only slept for less than an hour, got up early to wash, and Jiang sent a stack of prayer posts when he was eating breakfast.
Some of these people can be seen or not, and some must be seen, but they can't be seen together, and there is one person who is special and must be the first, that is Gao Shiming.
Chang Yu and Chunxiang left Beijing for more than a month, Gao Shiming was ordered to temporarily manage the East Factory, yesterday I heard that Chang Yu returned to Beijing and entered the palace with a group of bigwigs from the twenty-four yamen in the palace waiting for him to meet after the saint, but Chang Yu went out of the palace directly because of official business and did not see the above, Gao Shiming went out of the palace early in the morning to ask for a meeting.
As the former chief palm seal eunuch in the palace, Gao Shiming also served as a part-time commander of Dongchang after the fall of Wei Zhongxian, and he was considered a former leader, so Chang Yu must see, not to mention that Gao Shiming has always understood the rules very well, and during the time he left Beijing, he knew what to touch and what not to touch.
Gao Shiming is already in his old age, Chang Yu personally greeted him in the lobby to serve tea and sat down and said something, in fact, there is nothing substantive is to greet some gossip, in fact, it is the rules of officialdom, and saying hello to each other is considered to be acquaintance.
The old eunuch knew that the little eunuch was busy with official business and did not delay too much, so he left after half a cup of tea, and Chang Yu sent it to the yamen, and saw a long queue in the alley.
Just as he was about to let his subordinates beat some people away, he saw a person riding into the alley, and the fan of the yamen was about to stop him, and immediately the people shouted: "Lord Overseer......"
The voice is very familiar, it's a woman, the red lady, this is an old acquaintance who must be seen, and she has to cut in line.
The Red Lady was responsible for the preparation of the military hospital and the military industry before Chang Yu left Beijing, and Chang Yu used his connections to quickly allocate money to him in the western suburbs of the city.
Rich and easy to do, plus there are many refugees in the capital and there is no shortage of labor, the military hospital and the munitions factory have been completed in a short period of time, in fact, it is a big yard and some houses have been built, and there is no need to decorate or anything.
The red lady said to Chang Yu with a high spirit: "The wounded soldiers in the city are all transferred to the hospital in the western suburbs, and the emperor has also sent a decree to reward and send the Wuzhu Zuowei to be on duty, but I heard that the court is talking about letting the emperor's personal guards go to stand guard for the wounded soldiers, and it is not in accordance with the law, although the emperor does not think so, he also changed the Dongchang guard to be ......on duty."
Chang Yu smiled, Dongchang Wei is the twenty-seventh emperor's personal guard set up by Emperor Chongzhen before he left Beijing, and the strength is far less than that of other personal guards and they all followed him out of Beijing to the south to suppress bandits, how can there be people in Beijing, to put it bluntly, let the people of Dongchang divide some people to take care of it, after all, at this time, the outside of the city is equivalent to a wilderness, and many refugees know that the military hospital has food and drink, and if it is not good, it will be robbed, and there must be soldiers and horses on duty.
"Those firearms craftsmen in the Shenji Battalion have also moved to the arsenal in the western suburbs, and according to what you said, they will increase their salaries and increase their research funds and bonuses...... "The heroes among the children of the matchmaker are all in an orderly manner whether they are marching and fighting or dealing with this kind of thing, and what can be done today is definitely not grinding, and there is no mutual prevarication and procrastination between officials from various departments, and the most important thing is that she is very loyal to Chang Yu.
Military hospitals are not only responsible for saving lives, but are also responsible for keeping a register of wounded soldiers, who are given disability benefits or pensions on the basis of these registers.
In addition, it also recruits doctors who are proficient in medical skills to sit in the clinic to see the soldiers, as long as the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty can go to the soldiers, and the cost of service is free...... To put it bluntly, Chang Yu has moved the set of medical insurance in the future, but it is only for soldiers, and as for the medical insurance of the common people, it will not be realized in a while.
"Our family has been busy with official business recently, and the affairs of the military hospital are more than General Hong, if there is a place where you need help, go directly to the household department to ask for help, and you should not come to the governor there." Chang Yu thought for a while and said: "As for the Ordnance Institute, our family has found a suitable person to take charge of it, and we have also found a few helpers for you."
"Isn't it that the Governor invited a famous doctor" The red lady is happy, she is a soldier in her own job, and she is not proficient in medical skills, so she is in charge of the military hospital because there are too many female soldiers under her command, which can not only act as a medical staff to take care of the wounded, but also the best place to place these female soldiers.
The red lady really guessed correctly, Chang Yu really came to a famous doctor, and the most important thing is that this person is still the earliest infectious disease scientist in China, Wu Youxing.
At this time, it was the peak of the plague outbreak in the Gyeonggi area, and it was the three life-seeking knives hanging over the heads of the common people alongside the locust plague and the military disaster!
For this reason, Chang Yu's court was puzzled, Chang Yu racked his brains and could only pay close attention to the environmental sanitation of the capital, and by the way, he was unable to isolate the infected people, and he was helpless in addition, and at this time he thought of a person!
Wu has sex!
It's just that Wu Youxing is not so famous at this time, Chang Yu vaguely remembers that he is from Wu County, Jiangsu (now from Dongshan Town, Wuzhong District, Suzhou), the details are unknown, so he ordered Jinyiwei to find someone.
It is naturally not easy to find a doctor from a county area, but Jin Yiwei is very powerful, and he finally found Wu Youxing in Dongshan Town with great difficulty, and then brought him back to the capital, and he has not been able to see Chang Yu until now.
Wu Youxing was already in his early sixties at this time, and he traveled thousands of miles into Beijing, and on the way he also asked why Jinyiwei wanted to take him, but fortunately, several Jinyiwei who were looking for people saw that he was old and didn't dare to scare him, so they said that there was a plague in Beijing, and they ordered him to be found, so he should be cured.
This made the old Wu Tou feel relieved, but he also felt pressure, no one in the Ming Dynasty knew the plague better than him, and the court actually came to find him, the country master, which showed that the plague was very serious and the court was helpless.
However, Wu Youxing thought that he would see the emperor or only the hospital or something in the future, but he was directly taken to the Dongchang Yamen and said that he had met the big eunuch, cough, he was a swarthy boy.
But the boy was very magical, and told him about the characteristics of infectious diseases and the way they spread, which opened his eyes, and he was hungry and thirsty to hear some more high opinions.
The little eunuch didn't say anything, and casually threw him to a beautiful woman, saying that he was going to work in a military hospital and was fully responsible for the prevention and control of plague in the capital.
It's not that Chang Yu doesn't want to discuss more with him, it's that he really has that little inventory, medicine is not his specialty after all, only some basic common sense, but even this is a very impactful knowledge for people in this era.
After sending away the red lady and Wu Yousex, Chang Yu met Wang Jiayan again.
Wang Jiayan is the governor of Beijing, and his civil official background should have belonged to a different array from Chang Yu, but he admired Chang Yu very much after cooperating with him a few times and then became friends, and this visit was also as a friend.
It just so happened that Chang Yu also wanted to discuss matters with him.
It has to do with the munitions industry.
As we all know, the firearms technology of the Ming Dynasty is at the leading level in the world (not the top) in the early Ming Dynasty, because there was a firearms manufacturing bureau at that time, which designed, researched and developed firearms, but I don't know how it slowly fell into disuse and became nominal.
Later, the manufacture of firearms was managed by the Shenji Battalion, after all, this was the only firearms unit in the Ming Army, and the manufacture of those muskets and artillery was all from the Shenji Battalion, and those firearms craftsmen also belonged to the Shenji Battalion.
But the Shenji Battalion is under the jurisdiction of Jingying.
Chang Yu established the Ordnance Engineering Institute at this time, recruiting firearms experts from all over the country to develop firearms, and those craftsmen of the Shenji Battalion were among them, and they were the main force.
No matter how you say it, you have to say hello to Wang Jiayan.
Wang Jiayan naturally has no reason to refuse, in his opinion, Chang Yu's Ordnance Factory is actually the previous Firearms Manufacturing Bureau, it is nothing more than a change of name, and they are all serving the Shenji Battalion, not to mention that his own opposition is invalid, and the emperor raised his hands in agreement with what the little eunuch wanted to do.
So, Chang Yu introduced Chen Yujie to Wang Jiayan and put him in charge of the arsenal.
Chen Yujie was overjoyed, feeling like he had a dream, and Chang Yu told him that although the Ordnance Institute was hung under the Shenji Battalion, it was directly under the Ministry of War.
