Chapter 8 Hospitalization
"What do you think? What does it mean?" Doctor Li was stunned when he heard this and almost pushed the moxa stick on Zhao Hao's Dazhui acupoint.
"It means literally." Mr. Zhao whispered: "I hope I can stay in the hospital for a while, and it is best not to visit."
"Wouldn't that be a fraud?" Li Shizhen shook her head flatly.
"Mr. Li, please be harmonious." Zhao Hao begged: "Hai Gong took office, and the people in Jiangnan were in panic. There must be many people who advised me to lobby for him. I could neither agree nor did I refuse to agree, so I could only hide first. After a while, the rumors would be broken."
"Well." Li Shizhen didn't know if he understood it, but he still shook his head and said, "The young master naturally makes sense. But doctors are more important than truth. I don't allow my medical ethics."
"I will teach you Biology later." Zhao Hao had no choice but to take out his killer weapon. "It can make your "Compendium of Materia Medica" more systematic and scientific."
"The disease of colds is caused by external infection, but the evil is even deeper, and it is spread throughout the meridians, which is called typhoid fever." Li Shizhen changed his words and said: "For the strong, the evil will be cured after a few days; for the weak, the evil will not be easily resolved and will not be eliminated. Do not neglect the care. It is recommended to be hospitalized immediately."

After moxibustion, Zhao Hao was pushed into the yard next to Lin Run's ward by head nurse Wang Tiedan in a wheelchair and lay on the bed covered with white sheets.
Wang Tiedan tucked the quilt horns for Zhao Hao and told him to have a good rest. If he needed to pull the bedside rope, he went out.
I don’t know if it’s because of the psychological effect or Li Shizhen’s medical skills are too high, but in short, he feels much better. Finally, he has the strength to review the long conversation with Hai Rui.
There is no doubt that the conversation is successful and strategic. Hairui's new Jiangnan policy can greatly reduce the burden on farmers; secondly, the monetization of taxes and labor services can also stimulate the development of the commodity economy. Zhao Hao and Jiangnan Company will naturally support it with full support.
Moreover, whether it is the one-whip method, the equalization of fields and grain, or even the illegal occupation of land must be based on the prerequisite of clearing the acres of land.
Lin Run has finished clearing the Nine Mansions in Jiangnan, laying a solid foundation for Hai Rui. Hai Gangfeng can even abandon Songjiang first and directly implement it in the Nine Mansions.
This method seems to have let the Xu family go temporarily, but in fact it is to dig the foundation of the Xu family - the reason why the people of Songjiang are determined to fight against the Xu family against the court is because they are a community of interests.
In the past, in order to evade taxes and service, it was mainly labor service and various shows of labor service related to labor service such as the silver and liyin. A large number of Songjiang people borrowed the Xu family's privileges to evade taxes and service.
To give is to devote yourself to slaves, to offer you land.
Obviously, the act of dedication infringes upon the interests of the court and transfers the heavy burden to the honest people who have not contributed.
Therefore, it is illegal to offer. The "Da Ming Law" contains a clear text, and both parties have a "scepter of one hundred and three years of prison".
The "Regulations on Asking for Criminals" issued in the 27th year of Jiajing has further strengthened the crackdown on the act of dedication. It stipulates that "the contributors will always be exiled to the army, and the parents who will be exiled to the court will be involved in the punishment of the contributors", that is, "the contributors will always be exiled to the army."
Some people may ask, since this is the case, the Xu family dares to blatantly violate the law? Even if Mr. Xu is shameless, will his political enemies not report him?
The answer is that it is difficult to report. Because the Xu family has perfectly avoided the risk of illegality by taking advantage of legal loopholes...
In this era, it is not easy to cultivate a scholar, and it is difficult to sustain the strength of each family. Therefore, it often depends on the help of the entire family and even the clan.
After scholars obtained the exam, they only enjoyed privileges at home, which was really unkind. Therefore, the government acquiesced to the offer between relatives.
What should people who are not relatives do if they want to contribute?
The solution given by the Xu family is to be the son, grandson and great-grandson for the Xu family, and write the name into the Xu family's genealogy, so that they will naturally become a member of the happy big family of the Xu family.
Xu Da, Xu Wu, Xu Liu, Xu Ba, Xu Xu, Xu Yang... all of these were later changed surnames.
But such a noble surname as "Xu" is not something you can only be given the surname if you want. Only by making contributions and being recognized by the Xu family can you be given the surname Xu.
Most people can only join the Xu family by selling themselves as slaves. Although they have changed from free people to slaves, it is not a pleasure to be able to not serve without paying taxes?
In fact, the government clearly understands these two methods, but one is willing to fight and the other is willing to be beaten, but it is not illegal. What can you do?
But the Whip Technique will change the rules of the game.
Simply put, in the past, in order to evade taxes and labor, it was very cost-effective to pay. However, after the reform of the One-Whip Law, all the imperial grain labor was transferred into the acres of land and paid the tax with silver. The more land, the less land, the less land, the less land, the less land, the less land was paid.
In this way, farmers without land will not be worth it first, because they have to be exploited by the Xu family as slaves. If they don’t have to pay taxes or serve, who is willing to be a slave to the Xu family?
Even those rich peasant and small landlords who have little land are not worth it to be slaves for the Xu family. Because the filial piety they handed over to the Xu family has exceeded the tax burden after the reform! Naturally, they will feel like they are losing money.
Therefore, when the people of Songjiang see the benefits of the new policy, thousands of households that depend on the Xu family will definitely regret it.
But the Xu family is not the Nine-Border Defense Line of the Ming Dynasty. You can come whenever you want and leave whenever you want. Then there will be a good show!
Mr. Zhao seemed to have seen the wonderful scene where the unruly people who were relying on the Xu family attacked the Xu family in turn.
He was excited and lying on the bed and dancing.
"Oh, my master is so thrilling!" Sister Ma, who rushed over after hearing the news, burst into tears when she saw this scene, and threw herself to the bed and pressed him and said, "It was fine at noon, why did she become so sick when she turned around?"
"Uh..." Mr. Zhao, who was so proud of himself, blushed immediately. Sister Ma was alone and had nothing to do. But Gang Chen also walked in behind her.
Now the steady image that Mr. Zhao has worked hard to create is probably ruined...
Unexpectedly, Chen Huaixiu felt very guilty. She thought Zhao Hao’s previous reason was just an excuse. Unexpectedly, Mr. Zhao was really busy and tired, and he was tired and had problems...
She asked the head nurse who followed her in with a slightly sore nose, "Brother Wang, what disease does the young master have?"
Wang Tiedan picked up the medical record card at the head of the bed and took a look, and said in a silence: "The cold and typhoid fever are so ill!"
"Ah..." Chen Huaixiu's face turned pale when he heard the word "typhoid fever". There were not too many people who died of typhoid fever in this era. Tears rolled in his eyes and said, "He is still so young, how could he..."
Secretary Ma was also frightened and hugged Zhao Hao's neck and said, "Don't talk nonsense, young master will be fine!"
"You are both quiet, don't listen to the wind or the rain." Nurse Wang had a bad temper and said rudely: "It's cold and typhoid fever, not the kind you imagined, and it's usually not going to die."
