Seeing that Tang Ding still refused to leave, Zhu Jun frowned and said, "Zhang Yue, do you have anything else to do?"

Tang Ding smiled bitterly, "I don't know if anything is wrong!"

"There is something wrong with you today!" Zhu Jun said, "Are you sick? Do you want me to find a doctor to look at you?"

"No!" Tang Ding shook his head, "Tell the truth, are you sure you want to build the Huaihe River Bridge? This is no joke!

The reason why Fengyang is valued by His Majesty is precisely because of the Huaihe River.

If you build a bridge, wouldn't you lose the meaning of natural danger?"

This sentence can be regarded as asking Zhu Yuanzhang's heart.

Zhu Jun smiled and said, "If we really get to that point, we can break the bridge, but isn't there still Fengyang City?

Now that there is a bridge, they will definitely rush over from the bridge. As long as they ambush at the head of the bridge, one man can block the barrier and ten thousand others can't open it, which will actually help kill the enemy.

Moreover, the Huaihe River embankment is currently under construction. In the future, most places will be on slopes that are difficult to stand on, and the height will reach five feet, which is not much shorter than Fengyang City Wall.

Therefore, if they want to come by ship, it will be more difficult than before. They only need to guard the steps, which will only make it easier to kill the enemy!"

"Does this dike also have the function of protecting enemies?"

"Of course, why don't you let me build it so high? If there was a flood five feet high, Fengyang City would have been gone long ago!" Zhu Jun said.

Zhu Yuanzhang remembered that the side of the embankment near the river was indeed tilted and there was no way to get a foothold. Moreover, the river was so fast that it was almost impossible to get ashore.

What a good boy, he even thought of fending off the enemy.

"Zhang Yue, actually you don't need to worry so much. Everything has two sides. I don't need to explain the benefits of building a bridge. You will know it in the future," Zhu Jun said.

"Oh!" Tang Ding nodded, and then said: "By the way, can you give some of your penicillin to the general manager's office?"

"It's possible, but there is no big doctor in the General Manager's Office who will use this thing. This penicillin is no better than ordinary drugs. Some people will have severe allergic reactions. Once allergic, people will die!" Zhu Jun said seriously: "And, this

It is difficult to mass-produce medicine and the cost is very high. I don’t know how much material is consumed for such a small medicine.”

"You are willing to put it in the hospital and give it to the people at a loss, so why are you reluctant to give it to me?" Tang Ding pretended to be angry, "In your eyes, I am not as good as the people in terms of feelings, right?"

Zhu Jun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "My father-in-law, look at what you said, you are my father-in-law, how can I not take you to heart?"

It's just that the people are suffering and don't have much money. Usually those who go to the hospital for injections are patients whose condition has worsened after the doctors failed to cure them.

To be honest, a hundred taels of silver per needle is a pure loss of money. Now I consume more than 200 taels of silver every day, which means I have to lose 600 to 700 taels of silver a day. In one month, that is more than 10,000 taels!

This does not take into account the cost of maintaining the hospital, the monthly fees of doctors and nurses, and the little money the common people get from seeing a doctor, which is enough to pay their monthly salary."

"Since it's a loss-making business, why are you still doing it?" Tang Ding asked again.

"There is a saying that I like very much. I would rather sell medicines and make them become dust. I hope there are no patients in the world. If you regard medical treatment as a business, how many people can really afford to see a doctor?

Wouldn't that just leave them waiting to die?

Even if they have a small amount of savings, are cured of their illness, and have emptied their family fortune, the whole family will not be able to survive.

This was not my original intention.

Therefore, medical treatment cannot be based on making money.

Losing money now is temporary. When the medical center finds better cultivation methods in the future, it can reduce costs.

As long as the hospital's revenue and expenses can maintain a balance, that's enough.

I like money, but if I am asked to make money from patients, I can’t bear it in my conscience!”

Tang Ding looked at Zhu Jun with complicated eyes. Why didn't he see that this boy was so broad-minded before?

This is not something ordinary people can say.

He felt that compared with Zhu Jun, the Liao boy was not even worthy of carrying shoes.

Tang Xiuling really missed a very good husband!

The smile on Zhu Yuanzhang's face grew thicker, and he said in his heart: "It's so good to say that I would rather take the medicine to make dust, and hope that there are no sick people in the world!"

He remembered that when he was a child, his relatives died one by one and he couldn't afford to see a doctor at all.

If there had been a hospital in Fengyang at that time, would his relatives still have died?

Isn't it just doing odd jobs?

It’s great that you can also have a meal together!

"Is it worth it? It's like building a road. Even if there is no road of that level in the capital, you are building it in the wilderness, in the countryside!" Tang Ding said.

"Paving roads and building bridges is infrastructure construction, and it cannot be based on profit. This is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, and it cannot be summed up by saying it is not worthwhile.

The same is true for education. Why should I set up schools so that both men and women can study?

We don’t even need to practice meditation because children are the future.

Can I do business with the future?

What kind of good future can that kind of future be?

Therefore, infrastructure construction, education, and medical care cannot be based on profits. Doing such things will inevitably cost a lot of money.

Isn't it possible to collect taxes and use them from the people?

Take building roads and bridges as an example. Once completed, it will benefit local people and pedestrians passing by, and it will shorten the distance between the two places.

Trees are moved and trees die, people are moved and people live. The more popularity it brings, the more prosperity it brings.

So Fengyang came to life in my hands, this is the reason.

However, infrastructure construction is not enough, and medical education is not enough. I will make a big bet on it. When you see Fengyang next year, people in the world will be surprised!"

Tang Ding looked at the energetic Zhu Jun and even had an idea in his mind that he shouldn't have.

As soon as this idea came up, he suppressed it, "I understand, no wonder Fang Keqin, that cool-tempered man, would be so mean to you, and would be willing to open the coffers of the prefecture's Yamen to entertain those merchants.

Just do it, if you have any questions, come to me!"

Tang Ding stood up and asked all the questions Zhu Yuanzhang wanted him to ask.

"Zhang Yue, are you really sure you don't want a supervisor?" Zhu Jun asked again.

"No need!" Tang Ding shook his head, "Let's go!"

After saying that, he turned around and left. Zhu Yuanzhang still had some unfinished ideas, but he understood the general problem.

Some minor issues no longer matter.

After walking out of the Zhongdu Palace, Tang Ding quickly stood behind Zhu Yuanzhang and said, "Your Majesty, just now Cai Chen has been offended!"

"You asked a good question just now!" Zhu Yuanzhang smiled, "There are some things that this bastard won't say in front of us."

Tang Ding quickly helped Zhu Jun make amends, "Your Majesty, Your Highness has been living in the open these days. He and Fang Keqin are running around outside every day. He has also been to the three rivers to measure them personally.

To be honest, among all the projects in Fengyang, which one does not require money?

The money you asked me to send is just a drop in the bucket.
