Sun Jing is a subordinate that Xiao Cheng values ​​​​very highly.

In any other place in the Song Dynasty, Sun Jing would not have the status he has today.

He was originally just a doctor and had never even been a scholar.

But reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles. Sun Jing practiced medicine and traveled all over the southwest. In order to improve his medical skills, he also traveled to other places in the Song Dynasty.

This gave him a very clear understanding of the suffering of the people, the malpractice of the government, and the quality of governance.

What was even better for him was that he met someone like Xiao Cheng.

Serving as an official under Xiao Cheng is a very comfortable thing.

Because you only need to do your best to do things well. As for other unnecessary troubles, Xiao Cheng will handle them properly for you.

As the saying goes, a scholar dies for a confidant. Sun Jing really put all his effort and thought into being a good magistrate of a place.

Putting Sun Jing in Qiannan was also the result of Xiao Cheng's careful consideration.

Qiannan has a one-stop steel industry that is related to the lifeline of the entire Guizhou Road.

The most basic reason why there is Guizhou Road is not because Xiao Cheng is a good man in governing the local area, but because of the powerful armed forces under his command, which not only convinced the local area, but also left the court helpless.

Political power comes from the barrel of a gun. Xiao Cheng has a profound understanding of this sentence.

In the face of absolute power, any moral preaching seems so feeble.

If you want to preach, if you want to convince people with virtue, the first step is to knock them to the ground and ask them if they are convinced?

Once you are convinced, let us return to rule by virtue and rule by law.

If you don't accept it, then beat him again and step on him a few times, then ask again.

The construction of the army has always been Xiao Cheng's top priority.

Guizhou Road was divided into six prefectures and three states by Xiao Cheng. Of course, Liupanshui has not been taken back yet.

Xiao Cheng's plan is that every prefecture must be able to support an army.

Now, Xiao Cheng already has the Tiannan Army, the Tianwu Army, the Tianlang Army, the Tianping Army, the Tianyi Army, and the pacification envoy soldiers led by Han Zuo. There are still three armies short of Xiao Cheng's requirements.

If this idea is truly followed, there will be more than 30,000 well-equipped and powerful troops on the Guizhou Road. In the Song Dynasty, except for the Hebei Road, there was basically no other road with such a large number of troops.

The army on the Hebei Road originally relied on the central government's finances to support the army's expenses, rather than being supported by Hebei itself.

Moreover, any army on the Guizhou Road now can compete with the frontier troops on the Hebei Road in the past. Xiao Cheng absolutely does not want an army that is just a fake. That kind of army is useless except for consuming food and pay.

Not top.

On the Guizhou Road, Xiao Cheng had abolished the Xiang army establishment, and the local armed forces were filled by local regiments. The local regiments were not permanent troops. They were just ordinary people organized by the government for training during the slack season, similar to a militia organization.

Under normal circumstances, they are used as reserve troops. Once a large-scale war breaks out on Guizhou Road, they will be organized to be used as civilians or logistics transportation troops.

Civilians who have received formal military training and civilians who have not been trained are completely different things when a war actually breaks out.

Abolish the Xiang army to avoid wasting food and wages, and to prevent local officials from using the Xiang army as their own servants.

Training local team training will ensure that when something really happens, the local authorities will not be at a loss.

In fact, well-trained team training in some places can even ensure the safety of one party.

The world is not at peace now on the road to Guizhou. There are still many bandits in the mountains, and it is basically impossible to eradicate them. If you enter the mountains with a large army, they will escape without a trace, but if a small force goes to exterminate them, one failure will end up being a big problem.

They took advantage of it.

The current policy of Guizhou Road towards these bandits is to blockade them. Block off all checkpoints and arteries, set up warning checkpoints, and at the same time rely on local regiments to train armed forces to fight against them.

In the past two years, when the local team training was not yet established, we suffered a lot. But last year, the situation had completely reversed, and the bandits no longer dared to go down the mountain easily.

A few unbelieving troops went down the mountain to attack local villages. They encountered local regiments and failed to attack. They were then surrounded by troops from other local regiments who heard the news and were finally completely wiped out by the local imperial army.

But these bandits are still tenaciously surviving under such a tight blockade. From the article here, you can understand what is going on with your buttocks.

Someone is secretly supporting these people.

The people who support these bandits are naturally the people around Guizhou Road who are eyeing them.

The imperial court's strategic encirclement of Guizhou Road still exists.

But Xiao Cheng didn't take them seriously.

For these bandits, Guizhou Road has begun to use a new plan to be implemented by the Statistics Department.

This time Xiao Cheng came to Qiannan, firstly to inspect the steel industry in Qiannan, and secondly, to take a look at the popularization of medical clinics that Sun Jing was building in Qiannan.

Sun Jing is a doctor, and he is also a very skilled doctor.

Even now that he has become a high official, he still has not forgotten his profession.

Therefore, he built the first school in southern Guizhou specifically to train doctors, where experienced doctors would teach medical skills, and he would teach in person whenever he had free time.

Like many other professions, doctors who have their own unique skills are actually very precious about their own medicine. There is a large tradition of passing it on to sons but not daughters, and to daughters-in-law but not daughters.

Being a doctor is a respected profession in itself.

Moreover, on Guizhou Road, there is a skilled person whose income is much higher than that of ordinary people.

There are countless people who want to learn a craft but have no way to find a teacher. Now that Sun Jing has opened the door to facilitate them, it naturally caused a stir.

Xiao Cheng first went to see Sun Jing's medical clinic.

The conditions are still very crude.

The medical museum is located on a large piece of wasteland in the west of the city. It has two rows of adobe houses covered with thatch. One is used as a place for teaching, the other seems to be a kitchen, and several more are used as resting places.

"Because there is no budget, I still pay for it myself, and some local business gentry contribute some money. It is free for me to give lectures, but other doctors hired to give lectures still have to be paid."

Sun Jing was a little surprised and said sheepishly: "The recruits are all teenagers, half-grown men, poor people, and the monthly expenses are really quite a lot."

"It is indeed a bit crude!" Xiao Cheng said: "What are we mainly talking about now? Is it still a general training?"

"Basically teach everything!" Sun Jing said: "Actually, there are too few doctors in Guizhou. They know a little bit of everything. Then in the future medical practice, they will slowly form their own strengths. This is also a response.

Our current form is the most effective method. We don’t require them to study very deeply. They are prepared to study for two or three years and then let them go.”

Xiao Cheng nodded silently, having a doctor is more important than anything else right now. Even if this doctor is just a three-legged cat.

But of course Xiao Cheng will not be satisfied with the current situation.

"Expand the scale. Make a list of the required funds to Tian Yi and ask him to give it to you!" Xiao Cheng said: "At least expand it two to three times to recruit more students."

"As long as you have money, of course it will be easy!" Sun Jing smiled broadly.

Although we are not poor now, every penny we spend has a use. Opening additional schools like this really cannot squeeze out more money. After all, this is not a top priority.

"In addition to learning everything you just said, we also need to open some specialties." Xiao Cheng said. "For example, those who specialize in trauma, such as those who specialize in midwifery and gynecology. Every year, women die due to childbirth.

There are also some dolls, the number is really astonishing."

"Does Futai want to train doctors for the army?"

Xiao Cheng nodded: "The army needs a lot of doctors. You have made a good start here. If you do this well, it will attract other places to follow suit. Then we will have more people available."

"I understand."

Doctors, not only in Guizhou Road, but also in the whole world, are an industry in which talent is scarce. And ordinary people basically rely on them to survive minor illnesses and see their fate for serious illnesses. It is simply unnecessary to die because of a minor illness.

Too many. Nowadays, people's lives are getting better day by day on the streets of Guizhou, but medical treatment requires more than just money. Without people, it is still useless. Let alone a small village, even in a county, how many people can there be?

What about a doctor?

"Are the doctors we hired willing to teach you everything we have?"

"Of course not yet." Sun Jing said with a smile: "We are all worried about teaching students and starving the master to death! I am willing to come now because I am afraid of the government. It is normal to be cautious. Take your time!"

The imperial court of the Song Dynasty actually attached great importance to medicine. It not only had a specialized medical officer system, but also specialized medical education. The imperial medical officer system was divided into three levels, and education was divided into grades, subjects, and classes. It can be said that the medical officer system at this time had already

It has begun to develop in the direction of specialization and institutionalization. There are strict rules and regulations for the education, promotion, and appointment of medical officers, and there is also a strict assessment system for medical officers.

But the number is too small, and how many of these awarded doctors are willing to go to the fields to treat ordinary people without leaving their homes?

This is true for economically developed places, let alone Guizhou Road, which was previously regarded as a barbarian land by the Song people.

You must know that even though Xiao Cheng has been the pacifier of Guizhou Road for three years, there are still a large number of witch doctors on Guizhou Road.

It can't be said that these witch doctors have no common sense at all, but Xiao Cheng really doesn't catch a cold with that kind of treatment method that uses some ancient inheritance and is like a dancing master.

But without a large number of doctors to fill the gap, there is still a large market for these talented people.

This cannot be changed in a short time.

Now that Sun Jing is willing to open a school to solve this problem, it is naturally a great thing and requires strong support.

The medical officer system and the medical system were all ready-made in the Song Dynasty and could be used as soon as they were brought. However, it would take time to fully promote them in Guizhou. If you really want to achieve what Xiao Cheng dreamed of, it would be even more difficult.

I don't know when it will be completed.

Everything will ultimately be resolved by time.

At lunch time, the two people in casual clothes casually found a roadside stall on the street. Xiao Cheng's guards silently occupied some key places in the surrounding area to protect the safety of the two people.

"Boss, please bring two portions of rice cake and two portions of horned fish!" Sun Jing shouted loudly.
