Li Yi was considering subsidized medical treatment. Wherever taxes were paid, the government would take out a portion of the money to subsidize the doctors and patients.
There would be a lot of problems involved, especially at the grassroots level.
If someone falsely reported that there was no one to treat the patient, but insisted that there was and asked for subsidies.
Different doctors had different fees, and there was never a fixed price.
When a doctor treated a patient, the fee usually depended on the patient's financial situation.
The herbs in each pharmacy were different. The local herbs were produced locally and the prices were lower.
The herbs that needed to be transported from thousands of miles away were expensive.
The age of the herbs was also rotated. Obviously, other herbs could be used instead, but ginseng was used.
When patients found out that there were subsidies, who wouldn't want to take good medicine?
Therefore, a perfect plan was needed to consider every point and plug the loopholes.
As for medical insurance, he couldn't think about it for the time being. It was more troublesome.
"Third Brother, for the time being, the capital government will maintain it like this. When giving medicine to others in Zhuangzi, you need to know the other party's identity and fingerprint.
If someone who didn't have a good family background took the medicine for free, once it was discovered, they would have to pay ten times the price of the medicine in Zhuangzi.
The medicine in Zhuangzi is cheap, so there won't be any problems at the moment, even if there are many newcomers. "
Li Yi felt that it could support for a long time. If the outsiders were not in good health, they might die on the road.
Some people left their hometown when their families were broken and went to other places to make a living.
If a doctor gave free consultation to others, there would be a pharmacy behind him.
No one was a doctor who specialized in making money by consulting others.
If their medical skills were not good, there would be no pharmacy to invite them to see patients. If the people wanted to see a doctor, they would definitely go to the pharmacy.
Moreover, if the rich were treated, they would be given extra benefits.
Doctors didn't need money for consultation, but acupuncture still needed money.
"This is the only way." Li Longji couldn't think of a better idea. In the past, if people didn't have money, they couldn't see a doctor. If people died, so be it.
Now, the people in the capital government wanted to live. If they paid the money for the medicine, the people who were alive could create more value.
Li Longji continued to eat. Light dishes, rice, celery stir-fried with shredded pork, steamed fish, tofu, and cold bamboo shoots.
Li Longji didn't like it. He wanted to eat meatballs or braised pork, which was what Li Yi was eating.
… …
In the Political Affairs Hall, the food was rather bland. According to the Imperial Physician, the weather was hot now. They ate hot pot yesterday. If they ate something heavy with salt and oil, they would get heaty.
"Right now, the Tang dynasty is safe and sound. But there are rumors in Su Lu's territory that his troops are getting stronger and stronger. I'm afraid that he's planning to rebel."
After Su Yi took over the position of Minister of War, he immediately began to pay attention to his own work.
Su Lu was a person's name. The tribe he led was called Tuqishi. He was appointed as an official by the Tang dynasty and was asked to guard the border with his tribe.
That place was actually Turpan City during Li Yi's time. It was considered an independent force there.
However, the Tang dynasty also appointed other people. Unless they worked together to rebel, they would keep each other in check.
News came that there hadn't been a war there for a long time. If there were too many tribes, it might be a problem.
"He probably won't dare. The Tang dynasty has hot air balloons and other good things. If he wants to rebel, won't he think twice?"
Song Jing was still a little conservative. He didn't want to fight.
If they didn't rebel, wouldn't you be forcing the other tribes to rebel?
Bi Goo picked up a daylily and said, "Some people don't care at all. If he thinks he can do it, he will dare to make a move. It's better to tell Anxi Protector-General to strengthen the defenses."
"If the war starts, Tubo will definitely cause trouble. Maybe it's Tubo who instigated the rebellion." Su Yi gave his own analysis.
"Why don't …" Bi Goo said two words and then stopped. He wanted to ask Xiao Yi.
But after thinking about it, should he really ask Li Yi about everything? Whose Political Affairs Hall was the Political Affairs Hall?
Song Jing and Su Yi didn't reply. They lowered their heads and ate. They decided not to ask Li Yi.
After eating, Su Yi went to write an official letter. He wanted to send it to the Anxi Protectorate and ask them to keep a close eye on it.
He didn't have any good ideas. He was too far away and couldn't mobilize troops from other places.
Less than an hour after the letter was sent, a horse came from the border.
"Reporting! An urgent report from the Anxi Protectorate! Su Lu has led Tang Jiahui's troops, along with the Arabs and Tibetans, to the Four Garrisons and Dashi City. The Anxi Protectorate has already dispatched the soldiers of the Three Surnames Ge Lulu and the soldiers offered by Ashina."
When Su Yi received the report, he quickly went to find two more people.
The three of them gathered together and looked at the letter.
Song Jing sighed helplessly. Just as Bi Goo said, some people were just stupid.
"Quick, send the news to His Majesty." Bi Goo said and was about to write a letter.
"Give it to Li Yi. You can't give it to His Majesty directly." Song Jing reminded.
"Yes, give it to Xiao Yi. What Xiao Yi sees is what His Majesty sees." Bi Goo agreed.
Fifteen minutes later, the letter was delivered to Li Yi.
Li Yi was currently massaging Li Longji's head to alleviate his discomfort.
When he received the letter, he stopped. "Third Brother, the battle has started. Why is it this month?"
After reading the letter, Li Yi passed the letter to Li Longji. He realized that the situation had changed. The battle was supposed to start in the eighth month.
Even if there was a delay in the delivery of the letter, the battle would start in the seventh month.
It was the fourth month now. What was Su Lu thinking? Had the warhorses finished eating? Had the grass grown?
The point was that it was still quite cold over there. Didn't war depend on the weather?
Li Longji looked at it and put it aside. "Maybe Tubo is afraid. He is worried that the Tang dynasty will send troops when the weather is warm. If we can take them down, the Tang dynasty will face a disadvantageous situation."
"If we can't take them down, we have a lot of soldiers. Did Tubo send out a large number of troops? Then we have to deal with it quickly. "Li Yi felt that Li Longji's analysis was reasonable.
The Tang dynasty had been acting like they were going to fight since last year. They sent all kinds of things to the front line.
When the front line was almost adjusted, they would definitely go to war.
It was not comfortable to send troops now, but it was hard to judge.
To put it bluntly, it was better to strike first. As long as the four towns and Hugestone City were taken, the Tang dynasty would have a strategic space.
"Brother Yi, what do you think?" Li Longji had an idea, but he still asked Li Yi.
"Let's fight. Ask Guo Zhiyun to send troops. We don't care. Send cotton clothes, leather clothes, and so on.
There are also two days of food, hot air balloons, packs of explosives, catapults, and wooden arrows. Everything is ready. "
Li Yi was afraid that Tubo would send out a large number of troops to cooperate with Su Lu. If they did not attack Tubo now, Tubo would have the upper hand strategically. The Tang dynasty would regret it.
"Third Brother, if Tubo does not send out a large number of troops, Su Lu will not be able to take them down. He will definitely be defeated and retreat.
If Tubo sends out a large number of troops, Tubo will be empty and Tubo will be beaten silly. "
Li Yi explained the current situation. Anyway, they would not be at a disadvantage.
If Tubo continued to attack the four towns and Hugestone City, it was very likely that the country would be destroyed. They must go back to help.
Tubo played a strategy. As long as he reminded Guo Zhiyun not to advance rashly, it would not be a problem to destroy Tubo, but it would not be a problem to achieve victory.
"You write back and tell them." Li Longji could not write a letter, so he let Li Yi do it.
