After meeting Zhang Zhongjing, Ouyang Shuo considered letting Zhang Zhongjing take up any position.
After thinking for a while, Ouyang Shuo said, "The position of the Imperial Physician is vacant. Would you be willing to take it?"
The Imperial Physician was the chief official of the Imperial Physician. There were also other positions like the Imperial Physician and the Imperial Physician. When the dynasty was established, the Divine Physician Bian Que had already been appointed as the Imperial Physician.
"Imperial Physician?"
Zhang Zhongjing was obviously hesitant. He was interested in the Imperial Physician.
Ouyang Shuo smiled. He knew why Zhang Zhongjing was hesitating. He said, "Sir, you might have some misunderstandings about the Imperial Physician. This institution is not a medical institution of the royal family. It is the head of the Imperial Physician."
The entire Xia Palace only had Ouyang Shuo, Song Jia, and Bing'er. Naturally, there was no need to set up a medical institution to provide medical services for the royal family like during the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
When the Great Xia Dynasty was established, Ouyang Shuo had already designated the Imperial Physician as the Imperial Physician.
The name of the Imperial Physician originated from the Jin Dynasty. It was inherited from the Imperial Physician Bureau and Imperial Physician Bureau of the Tang and Song Dynasties. After that, the Imperial Physician Bureau of the Tang and Song Dynasties established the Imperial Physician Bureau.
The real Imperial Physician Bureau did not only provide medical services for the royal family. Its responsibilities included carrying out the emperor's medical edicts, the recruitment, appointment, and dismissal of doctors, the appointment of medical officers, the medical services of the royal family, the training and education of doctors, and the management of other medical institutions.
After listening to the king's explanation, Zhang Zhongjing understood that it was in line with his original intentions. He did not decline anymore. He cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I do not dare to decline your grace. Thank you, Your Majesty."
Ouyang Shuo nodded. With the Medical Saint Zhang Zhongjing in the Imperial Physician Bureau, the medical standards of the dynasty would go up another level. As Zhang Zhongjing was officially appointed as the Imperial Physician, a system announcement spread throughout the China region.
"System Announcement: The representative of the medical school, Zhang Zhongjing, has become an official in the Great Xia Dynasty. He is in charge of the Imperial Physician Bureau and has accepted disciples. At the same time, he has fulfilled the three requirements for a school to enter. The medical school of the Hundred Schools of Thought has officially entered Shanhai City."
...
"System Announcement: The School of Medicine of the Hundred Schools of Philosophers has officially entered Shanhai City. Shanhai City will be given the title of [Holy Land of Medicine] as a reward. Congratulations to player 'Don't Say You're Naked'!"
…
"System Announcement: The School of Medicine of the Hundred Schools of Thought has officially entered Shanhai City. The current title of the School of Medicine in Shanhai City has been replaced by the title of the Holy Land of the Hundred Schools of Thought. The reward for the title of the School of Medicine has been cancelled. Shanhai City will be given a special building, the Hundred Herb Garden, as a reward. Congratulations to player 'Don't Say You Have No Clothes'!"
…
Previously, when merchants settled in, their titles were automatically overwritten. Gaia rewarded them with a hidden building, [Silver Wish Tower]. This time, Gaia was not as generous and only rewarded them with a special building.
[Name]: Herb Garden
[Type]: Special Building
[Function]: Increase the growth rate of herbs in the garden by 400
[Features]: Doctor attraction rate increased by 20, Dynasty popularity increased by 5
[Description]: This is a medicinal garden specially set up to cultivate medicinal herbs. There is a special formation underground, which is nourished by spiritual energy. It has an environment that can support the growth of all kinds of medicinal herbs. It covers an area of a hundred acres.
This garden was the dream of every doctor. Its value was comparable to the hidden building. This Hundred Herb Garden was not something that Lu Xun's Hundred Herb Garden could compare to.
At this moment, a system notification sounded in Ouyang Shuo's ears.
"System Notification: Congratulations to player Who Says That Has No Clothes. You have obtained a special building, [Hundred Herb Garden]. Please specify the building location. Friendly Reminder: The location cannot be smaller than a hundred acres. "
Ouyang Shuo thought for a moment. A hundred acres was not small. There was probably no such open space in Shanhai City, so he could only build it outside the city. Ouyang Shuo chose a piece of barren land in the eastern suburbs to build the Hundred Herb Garden.
"System Notification: Location selected. Generating …"
Accompanied by the system notification, a white light flashed in the eastern suburbs. A herb garden that spanned an area of a hundred acres appeared out of thin air.
Ouyang Shuo told Zhang Zhongjing about the Hundred Herb Garden. When Zhang Zhongjing heard that, he was overjoyed. He said with a smile, "The heavens are really helping our dynasty. With such a magical herb garden, we can achieve twice the results with half the effort."
"Then I'll leave the Hundred Herb Garden to the Imperial Academy of Medicine to manage," Ouyang Shuo said with a smile.
Zhang Zhongjing cupped his hands and said, "I will definitely not let His Majesty down!"
…
After seeing Zhang Zhongjing off, it was already four in the afternoon. Only then did Ouyang Shuo have time to read through the memorials. Following the establishment of the dynasty, there were naturally more than three historical figures who took the initiative to seek refuge in Shanhai City. It was just that the other historical figures were not well-known and had already been properly arranged by the cabinet. There was no need for Ouyang Shuo to personally make an appearance.
Ouyang Shuo had just finished reading five memorials when someone "came to visit." It was Chen Bingguang, the head of the Industry Department.
"This humble subject greets His Majesty!"
Ouyang Shuo waved his hand and said, "Old Chen, please sit!"
When Qingyi saw this, he personally served tea.
This time, Chen Bingguang had come for the Shushan Steel Group. Under the lead of the Industry Department, after nearly four months, the Shushan Steel Group had been officially established. The headquarters was set up in Steel City.
In Steel City, the construction of two large steel mills had also been completed. The Seventh Research Institute had set up its first branch in Steel City. It was responsible for the research and development and upgrading of steel making technology.
Under Chen Bingguang's suggestion, even the manufacturing base for the Mimic Aircraft was chosen to be in Steel City. In the future, Steel City would no longer be a city of pure steel. Instead, it would be a city of industry.
The research and development of new cannons, guns, and steam engines would gradually be moved to Steel City.
The Industry Department had even drawn up plans to build the first railway in Steel City within two years to transport iron ore and coal to the steel mills.
At the same time, the route from Steel City to Shanhai City was being dredged. It was estimated that it would be completed in July. At that time, the good steel produced in Steel City could be continuously transported to Shanhai City through the waterway.
The steel group that Ouyang Shuo had originally envisioned was gradually taking shape. It would become the engine of the territory's industrialization.
But behind the prosperity, there were also hidden worries.
Chen Bingguang had come this time because the Shushan Steel Group had encountered trouble.
Although it was not fatal, the hidden dangers were not small.
Chen Bingguang cupped his hands and said, "Reporting to His Majesty, recently, the coal transported from Hardstone City and West Chu to Royal City has encountered disturbances from unknown warships in the Bohai and Yellow Seas. This has already affected the coal transportation. According to the current trend, in the near future, this transportation route will probably be completely cut off. "
The Dynasty's industrialization was at a critical period. Once the coal supply was cut off, it was bound to suffer a heavy setback.
At present, the Dynasty not only had the coal from Steel City, but also the newly discovered coal mine in the Minnan Province. The coal supply was temporarily fine. But in the long run, this problem had to be solved.
Ouyang Shuo frowned and asked, "Have you found out who did it?"
"According to the investigation of the Navy Command, it is very likely to be the work of the warships of the [Yan Huang Alliance]."
Ouyang Shuo nodded. He had also guessed so. After receiving Jack's assistance in shipbuilding technology, Di Chen, Zhan Lang, and the others began to build naval fleets one after another. Together with Xiong Ba's naval fleet, the fleets of the three territories were connected in a single line. There was no doubt that they had firmly controlled the Bohai and Yellow Seas.
The waters that the Great Xia Dynasty's coal ships passed through could not avoid their jurisdiction.
After Jack gave the authorization, Ouyang Shuo had already expected such a day. Jack's authorization not only cut the profits of the Great Xia Dynasty's shipbuilding industry, but also gave the Great Xia Dynasty a few strong opponents on the sea.
According to the shipping department, not only the domestic warship orders, but even the ASEAN warship orders were sharply reduced and affected.
This meant that the enmity between Jack and the Great Xia Dynasty had been formed.
If there was a chance, Ouyang Shuo did not mind competing with Jack. After taking down Morocco, if Ouyang Shuo wanted to, he would have the opportunity to enter the American continent. It all depended on how he operated.
Of course, if Ouyang Shuo really went all out and broke the rules of the game by blocking the Strait of Gibraltar and cutting off the trade between the United States and the Mediterranean countries, Jack would probably have a reason to intervene in the affairs of the Mediterranean Sea.
It was a game of chess between the two, and it all depended on who was better at it.
What Ouyang Shuo did not expect was that Di Chen and the others were so impatient, and their methods were so underhanded. According to the intelligence of the Mountain Sea Guards, the naval fleets of Handan City and Blood Red City were still far from being formed.
After the system update, Gaia had greatly slowed down the progress of shipbuilding, which inevitably affected their construction of warships. It was not an easy task to build a complete naval fleet.
The warships that were harassing the coal ships of the Great Xia Dynasty were probably the warships that they had built earlier, and were testing them in the relevant waters.
As for harassing the coal ships, it was probably just a side goal.
Whether it was Di Chen or Zhan Lang, with the help of their families, it was not difficult to hire outstanding modern navy generals, sailors, captains, and other core talents.
All they needed was time to adapt.
Ouyang Shuo asked, "Does the Industry Department have any statistics on the damage to the coal ships?"
Chen Bingguang nodded and replied, "Yes. Strangely enough, the ships that suffered the most damage were the coal ships that were sent out from Hardstone City, and they were mainly attacked in the Bohai Sea. They did not encounter any obstructions when they reached the Yellow Sea, and even the Zhoushan fleet of Overlord City turned a blind eye to our coal ships. "
Ouyang Shuo's eyes flashed, confirming his guess. He did not expose Chen Bingguang, but said after a moment of silence, "I already know about this matter, you can leave first!"
"Yes!"
Chen Bingguang bade farewell and left. Since the King already knew about this, he must have a solution. This matter was beyond the capabilities of the Industry Department, which was why Chen Bingguang had specially rushed over to report.
After Chen Bingguang left, Ouyang Shuo looked at Qingyi and said, "Immediately draft a decree for the Office of the Grand Herald to send envoys to Handan City, Blood Red City, and Overlord City. Tell them that if they continue to play tricks in the Bohai Sea and Yellow Sea, their merchant ships will not be able to travel on the Grand Line. "
Ouyang Shuo wanted to give Di Chen and the rest a clear warning. It was better not to break some unspoken rules, otherwise, everyone would not be able to get any benefits.
"Yes!" Qingyi nodded in response. Mobile users, please browse and read for a better reading experience.
