Bai Su dared not hold back and offered suggestions based on reality: "Cultivate doctors, nurture medicinal herbs, develop medicines, promote national health, publicize the concept, establish a chain of medical clinics, and elevate their status. All of this should belong to the state."
She took out her detailed plan and presented it, saying, "This is my detailed plan; please approve it, Your Highness."
Li Wenxiu gave her an approving look and handed the proposal to Xiao Zhixing.
Xiao Zhixing was very satisfied with Bai Su's work attitude. He accepted the memorial and said, "Good, I will reply to you tomorrow."
She was determined to finish watching it that very night.
The audience in the live stream was incredibly excited.
[Yellow comment: Bai Su, this doesn't count as changing history, right?]
[Yellow comment: As long as it doesn't interfere with or change the main storyline, it doesn't count!]
[Yellow comment: Ah, I looked up the history, and it records a great physician named Xiao Shi Baisu... So, Baisu is our Susu, right?]
[Yellow comment: I even checked, it really is Bai Su, sob sob sob, I'm so excited, does this mean we helped our ancestors?]
[Yellow comment: Don't you know? When we medical students study this history, our teachers always mention that our system originated from this, and medicine flourished from then on, benefiting all people.]
[Red comment: He's become a great doctor, looks like the streamer has really taken a long time off.]
[Yellow comment: In every dynasty, there are no more than ten great physicians. Su Su is amazing!]
[Green comment: Uh, am I the only one who noticed? Xiao Shi Bai Su, did the streamer marry a prince?]
The comments section instantly went off-topic, filled with laughter and pairing people up, making Bai Su want to hide her head: "Ahhh, please shut up! Even the prince can see this, I'm going to die from all this!"
Xiao Zhixing deliberately glanced at Bai Su, making her face stiffen and turn red, before continuing to listen to the report.
Ning Jin is in charge of the business aspects.
"Your Highness, thanks to the introduction of merchants to the new city, countless people are now coming to Beizhou to trade. Following your instructions, I have established an official Beizhou trading company and, through the joint venture between government and private enterprises, has ventured into a total of thirty-seven industries, including salt, iron, cloth, trade, horses, grain, and food."
"We have been making a profit since last month, and the amount of silver deposited into the treasury has reached 800,000 taels."
This is just the beginning; more and more money will be coming in later.
This is Xiao Zhixing's idea of drawing on the concept of state-owned enterprises in China, intending to bring major industries, especially those related to people's livelihoods, under state control.
Of course, some people will say that those in power are competing with the people for profit, and they will criticize her for willingly degrading herself to engage in business.
However, they are all covering up their true colors; which of their shops isn't actually in business?
The business world on the Qian Yuan Continent is also in a state of disorganization, with commerce being considered a lowly profession and not a mainstream pursuit.
Because merchants pursue profit, which contradicts the noble and upright image of the literati.
Some pedantic people turn pale and disgusted at the mention of commerce, yet they don't realize that in life, what thing isn't delivered to us through commercial transactions?
They don't understand what macro-control is, nor do they understand that commerce is closely related to people's lives.
Unregulated and unregulated commercial activities are indeed harmful to people's livelihoods, which is why orderly and standardized practices are necessary.
Xiao Zhixing pointed out, "Our aim is to share profits with the people and ensure their livelihood. At the same time, we are exploring a business law that suits our own Dasheng, which can both protect the interests of all parties and benefit the people. We must strictly crack down on lawbreakers. The law clearly states that those who commit acts that harm the people and the country will be severely punished."
For example, those who profit from national disasters, those who monopolize industries and raise prices without cause, those who compete by any means necessary, and those who collude with officials to plunder the people's wealth.
The punishment for these things is only mentioned briefly in the national law, and the severity of the sentence is entirely determined by the mood of the officials, with no hard and fast rules.
She wanted to create a separate business law that would stipulate the rules and scope of business and clearly state the prohibitions.
Everyone should conduct business honestly and legally.
Orderly growth is the only way to create a virtuous cycle and promote the healthy development of the local economy.
Ning Jin felt immense pressure, yet also a surge of excitement; he was determined to succeed in this matter.
[Yellow comment: Oh my, everyone was wondering about Ning Jin's identity before, but now we know, this is Jiang Jin, right?]
[Yellow comment: Haha, I guessed it! It's Jiang Jin, the ancestor of commercial law, also known as the God of Wealth Jiang...]
[Yellow comment: Ah, he's from the Jiang family, right? My goodness, he's been with the prince for so long?]
[Red comment: We have some research on this. This person seems to have broken away from the family and belongs to another force. We speculate that it might be Xiao Yan.]
This news excited everyone again, and the question of where Xiao Yan was became the most pressing question for them.
Then the military officer reported that there were no major problems here, after all, it was her old territory.
Xiao Bei spoke first, “Your Highness, all the garrison troops in the original counties of Beizhou have been replaced by the Xiao family army. Most of these troops have chosen to retire and become garrison troops, while some have chosen to join the Xiao family army.”
"Some of them went into elementary schools to become martial arts instructors and teach the villagers, thus improving their physical strength."
Martial arts instructors also receive a salary, making it a good option for veterans who can no longer go to the battlefield.
"Other capable soldiers entered the Patrol and Security Division to maintain local order. In the past two months, they have investigated and dealt with more than 1,000 old cases, arrested more than 500 criminals, and eradicated 21 bandit gangs, with remarkable results."
Shengjing was governed by the Imperial Guard, the Court of Judicial Review, and the Ministry of Justice, which were responsible for maintaining order in the capital.
Local security was managed by officials who appointed people to oversee the area. Their authority was unclear, their power was limited, and the personnel were of varying abilities, much like the elderly security corps in China.
Li Sandi, the county magistrate, was previously in charge of public security. Sometimes he could investigate cases and send yamen runners to arrest people, but sometimes he couldn't and had to act according to the magistrate's wishes.
Cases investigated locally are all handed over to the Ministry of Justice. Simple cases are handled locally, while major cases are investigated by the Ministry of Justice, and it may take several years before it is your turn.
Local authorities generally try not to report cases, and they hastily review many wrongful convictions and miscarriages of justice, fearing that reporting too many cases will affect their performance evaluation.
Xiao Zhixing established the Local Security Bureau to exercise the functions of the public security and armed police, with the aim of handling public security matters at the local level with utmost rigor.
Li Sandi will be the first director of the Northern Prefecture Local Patrol and Security Bureau, tasked with investigating cases, cracking down on corrupt officials, and ensuring the safety and well-being of the people.
Xiao Bei continued, "The border defenses of Beizhou have all been rotated, and the troop strength in various places has been increased by 30%."
"Furthermore, the popularization of literacy in the army is a cause for celebration. The roughnecks are finally no longer blind."
The first to teach pinyin literacy in the military was also to use them as an experiment.
The pronunciation of the Mandarin spoken here is somewhat different from that of Standard Mandarin in China, so we need to come up with a new pinyin system to replace and summarize it.
A phonetic word list suitable for this world has now been basically formed, for which the strategists of various armies have gone bald from pulling so much hair.
Of course, the glossary still needs to be revised by scholars, and then phonetic and semantic annotations added.
She was hoping to create a simple dictionary as soon as possible.
This is talented! Come quickly!
Your chance to go down in history lies here.
