"Lord Wei, you can say whatever you want, but why are you always mocking us officials? You and I are both officials, and I have to speak up when you do something wrong. You are such a thoughtful person, surely you won't allow others to question you, right?"
"You are totally free to question me." Wei Ziyao nodded generously. "But as the Minister of Revenue, even if you want to question me, you should at least question me until I am convinced. You are always saying such unrealistic things, if I don't rebuke you, who should I rebuke? "
"How is it unrealistic? I think it is you, Lord Wei, who is being unrealistic. The idea of the sanatorium was good at first, but now that so many people have paid for it, it will become a burden to the country when the money is needed for treatment! "
"Sigh … Such short-sightedness." Wei Ziyao shook her head disappointedly. These people were still too short-sighted, and the quality of officials could be improved. "Let me ask you a question first, what is the current population of the Northern Qin?"
"The Northern Qin is a powerful country, and has the largest population among the four countries. Our current population is at its highest since the founding of the country, with a population of 500 million, or about 70 million people."
After all, he was the Minister of Revenue, and was in charge of such matters.
"That's right, with a population of almost 600 million, we have received 20 million taels of silver, which means that only one-third of the people have paid for it. What if the number of people increases? The people do not fall sick all year round, and furthermore, the green guarantee only protects serious illnesses. It does not cover minor illnesses like colds and fevers. Do you think that all of these people will fall sick? If someone is really unlucky, then this money is equivalent to them helping each other. In other words, this is buying a guarantee for themselves, so that those who do not have the money to see a doctor will not wait for death. "
Wei Ziyao no longer had the mindset she had when she first became a doctor.
But she still felt that nothing was more important than her life.
"My Lord, you probably haven't seen people waiting for death because they don't have the money to treat their illness. Death is not despair, waiting for death is despair. This passageway is their hope. This is also why so many people rushed to buy it when it was just released."
Hearing Wei Ziyao's words, the Assistant Minister of Revenue fell into deep thought. Indeed.
He had always thought that if these people fell ill, the country would not be able to afford it, but he did not expect that not everyone would be so unlucky.
"How difficult is it for the people to see a doctor now? They did not dare to enter the better medical centers at all, and the worse ones could not be cured. Many simple and minor illnesses were dragged into serious illnesses. With this passage, the common people would no longer have to worry about seeing a doctor. Only when their lives were guaranteed would they have more motivation to live. To say something disrespectful, does Daren really think that the Emperor is the foundation of the country? No! It's the people! "
Hearing Wei Ziyao's words, the man's eyes widened in fright as he knelt down.
Kneeling there, he didn't even dare to breathe.
After about ten seconds, the Northern Wen Emperor said slowly, "Minister Wei is right. The people are the foundation of a country. This is indeed a form of protection."
Since the emperor had said so, what else could the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue say? "It is Northern Qin's blessing that the Emperor loves his people so much!"
He only knew how to flatter.
Wei Ziyao glared at the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue on the ground.
"This money, if someone really needs it, it can be used to save lives. If no one needs it, it can be returned to the national treasury and used for development among the people. It can even be better invested in the medical industry."
As a modern person, Wei Ziyao deeply understood the importance of treating illnesses.
The difficulty of seeing a doctor was not a problem in ancient times.
But in ancient times, it could be solved better.
Because in modern times, the treatment of unscrupulous doctors and unreasonable patients or their family members was much more humane.
And in ancient times, the constitutional monarchy, ha! Who would dare?
As long as the rules were set, anyone who crossed the line would be executed.
Under this kind of high pressure, it would be much easier to manage than in modern times.
After talking to the assistant minister of the Ministry of Revenue, the matter was finally settled.
