Chapter 1266 Visitors to Changshan Medical Clinic!

Looking at what Pei Zhixiu said in the letter, Ye Mingsheng was also very surprised. In his impression, Pei Zhixiu almost never expressed her opinion on political affairs. If it weren't for the handwriting on the letter paper, which was Pei Zhixiu's handwriting, Ye Mingsheng would even have some doubts whether this letter was written by Pei Zhixiu!
After carefully reading Pei Zhixiu's words again, Ye Mingsheng keenly realized that the reason why Pei Zhixiu wrote this letter to him to persuade him was that Murong Qingwu must have played a huge role behind the scenes!

Thinking of this, Ye Mingsheng was also a little curious. What did Murong Qingwu say to Pei Zhixiu that persuaded Pei Zhixiu, who usually didn't care about other people's business?

You should know that the Internal Security Bureau had submitted a secret report to Ye Mingsheng before, telling Ye Mingsheng about the previous tiered tax rate. An Miaoyi had found Pei Zhixiu, hoping that Pei Zhixiu could write a letter to her to persuade her, but in the end Pei Zhixiu did not buy it, and An Miaoyi was angry for a long time because of this!
So how did Murong Qingwu accomplish what An Miaoyi couldn't do?
Does Murong Qingwu have such a great reputation in front of Pei Zhixiu?

Although he didn't know how Murong Qingwu did it, Ye Mingsheng had to admit that there was currently great resistance to reform in the Yijing court. Although some people did not dare to openly go against his will, they adopted some negative means and attitudes.

The current key difficulty of the reform is not the work law or the public disclosure system. The real difficulty is layoffs!
Although there is great resistance to reform, Ye Mingsheng's determination to reform has never changed. After all, the Yijing court is a successor to the Great Zhou system, and the current Great Zhou system is bloated with a large number of personnel, but the efficiency is very low, so slimming down is something that must be done...

Although Ye Mingsheng is determined to push forward with drastic measures, in the face of realistic difficulties, Ye Mingsheng's methods must be more realistic and he must also pay attention to methods and approaches!

Ye Mingsheng's idea was to divide them up and rule them by some rules. First, the old men from the Fengwu Army would not be touched. Secondly, those who passed the imperial examination would be removed. First, the G members who were students of the Imperial Academy would be removed. Ye Mingsheng had also been in Luo'an in the past. He also knew many students of the Imperial Academy and knew very well what kind of people these people were.

This group of people are either descendants of noble families, or children of G members, or they simply came in by spending money. In short, every one of them is basically uneducated, without any real skills, and is just a waste of money who knows how to eat, drink and have fun!
Ye Mingsheng has had someone secretly calculate that there are currently more than 1,900 former students in the entire Great Zhou. If all of them were cut off, at least 300,000 taels of silver in salary and property could be saved a year, and it would also be a good rectification of the current atmosphere in the gay field!

Although there are many benefits to doing this, Ye Mingsheng is also aware that doing so will definitely cause certain negative effects!
So Ye Mingsheng planned to launch a pension system, that is, if an official reached a certain rank and passed the assessment of the Ministry of Revenue and the Censorate, then after you retire, the court will give you a pension every year for the rest of your life, and the local government will also send you some chicken, duck, fish, meat, fruits and vegetables every month for your retirement...

As the saying goes, give a sweet date after a stick, Ye Mingsheng hopes to use rules to divide the opposition forces, and then use this pension system to appease the emotions of the G members, and even make them support his layoffs, so as to ensure the stability of the Z Bureau!
Ye Mingsheng believed that this pension system must be attractive to the officials of the Great Zhou. After all, after the officials of the Great Zhou retired, they would no longer receive salaries unless given extra rewards by the court, and could only live off their previous savings. If you made some money while in office, you might live a comfortable life after retirement, but if you were relatively clean, your life would be relatively poor after retirement!

In addition to being able to calm the emotions of the G members, Ye Mingsheng believes that this pension system will also allow some G members to have no worries and will contribute to the current anti-corruption construction in Da Zhou!
Although Ye Mingsheng had the idea of ​​pension, he had not yet thought of some specific details. He also had to listen to the suggestions of cabinet members. However, one thing is certain, that is, it is impossible to establish pensions for all G members. That would be a huge expense. With the current financial situation of the Yijing court, it is simply impossible to afford such a large expense!
The pension will be a benefit for G-level personnel who have reached a certain level. Ye Mingsheng’s initial idea is to give those above the seventh level, but the final result will be determined after consultation with the cabinet members.
After thinking about layoffs, Ye Mingsheng thought of Murong Qingwu again. She recently gave birth to a son for Ye Mingsheng, and Ye Cui gave him a nickname called Xiaoba. As for the child's full name, Ye Mingsheng had not yet decided on it. He originally planned to wait until Ye Mingsheng returned to Yijing to give the child a formal name!

But Ye Mingsheng now feels that he may need to give this child a name now. After all, he has appointed Murong Yuliang as the governor of Jianghuai, and given him such great power to be in charge of the government affairs of Jiangnan and Huainan!

A few days ago, I summoned Murong Yuliang and talked about my appointment of him as the governor of Jianghuai and some of my ideas on the development of Jiangnan and Huainan. Murong Yuliang also asked Ye Mingsheng about Murong Qingwu's recent situation. Ye Mingsheng told Murong Yuliang the news of Xiaoba's birth!
Murong Yuliang was also very happy about this. Looking at Murong Yuliang's smile at that time, Ye Mingsheng also realized that he needed to be nicer to Murong Qingwu so that Murong Yuliang could feel at ease and he could focus on his work!
So these days Ye Mingsheng has been considering what name to give Xiao Ba, and whether to grant Murong Qingwu the power to assist in managing the affairs of the mansion.

The name is easy to choose. After all, the first two characters of the name are determined. Ye Mingsheng only needs to consider the third character. Currently, Ye Mingsheng has thought of three names, namely Ye Jingchang, Ye Jingxing, and Ye Jingyan. Ye Mingsheng thinks that these three names are all good and any one of them is fine!

So Ye Mingsheng simply used the method of drawing lots to let the heaven decide Xiao Ba’s name, and finally Ye Mingsheng drew a small piece of paper with Ye Jingyan written on it. Ye Mingsheng respected this decision, and Murong Qingwu’s Xiao Ba would be named Ye Jingyan from now on...
Now that the name problem was solved, Ye Mingsheng began to consider whether to let Murong Qingwu assist in managing the affairs of the mansion!
Ye Mingsheng was well aware that An Miaoyi had made some small moves in the financial affairs of the Ye Mansion, but on the one hand, An Miaoyi did her best in handling the affairs of the Ye Mansion. Although she had some small ideas, overall she managed the Ye Mansion in an orderly manner, without any trouble, and Ye Mingsheng didn't have to worry about anything!

So Ye Mingsheng allowed An Miaoyi to come, and only gave Pei Zhixiu the power to assist in managing the affairs of the mansion!
At that time, Ye Mingsheng gave Pei Zhixiu this power mainly because he hoped that Pei Zhixiu could play a supervisory role and restrain An Miaoyi's little actions.

However, Pei Zhixiu had no interest in the affairs of the mansion, so after reaching a tacit understanding with An Miaoyi on some matters, Pei Zhixiu no longer cared about the affairs of the Ye Mansion.

Ye Mingsheng knew that Murong Qingwu had always wanted the power to assist in managing the affairs of the mansion. Ye Mingsheng also knew that once he gave Murong Qingwu this power, she would definitely check the account books of the Ye Mansion and try to make trouble for An Miaoyi!

Ye Mingsheng felt that once the news of his appointment of Murong Yuliang as the governor of Jianghuai was passed back to Yijing, An Miaoyi would be very uncomfortable. So when she saw that he gave Murong Qingwu the power to assist in managing the affairs of the mansion and asked Murong Qingwu to check her account books, An Miaoyi's personality would definitely be deeply stimulated!

An Miaoyi is definitely not a kind-hearted person who repays evil with kindness. If Murong Qingwu really checks her account book, Ye Mingsheng believes that An Miaoyi will definitely not sit idly by. This woman will definitely fight back. By that time, the Ye family will be in turmoil, with everyone in the family in chaos and there may even be deaths!

So after repeated consideration, Ye Mingsheng decided not to grant Murong Qingwu the power to assist in managing the affairs of the mansion for the sake of his own peaceful life. Although he did not give her this power, in order to win over and appease Murong Yuliang, Ye Mingsheng also planned to reward Murong Qingwu well and give her some real estate, gold, silver and jewelry...

Yijing, 3:30 pm

In Changshan Clinic, just when Pei Zhixiu had finished seeing the last patient and was about to end her consultation for the day, a luxurious carriage stopped in front of the clinic. Then, supported by several maids and old women, a woman with a big belly slowly walked into the clinic.

Because the shop was closed, the maid Xiaohuan said to the visitor:

"I'm sorry, our Changshan Clinic is closed today. If you need a consultation, please come early tomorrow!"

The pregnant woman was also disappointed when she heard this, but a maid next to her reacted quickly and said:
"Miss, our master is Gu Shangshu of the Ministry of Personnel, and this is our wife, Chen, so please be lenient!" As she spoke, the old woman took out a piece of silver from her pocket and stuffed it into Xiaohuan's hand. When she heard that the other party was Gu Sansi's wife, Xiaohuan couldn't help but take a closer look at the woman in front of her with a big belly, but in the end she returned the silver to the old woman, shook her head and said:
"It's not that I don't want to help you, but my wife has a rule. The clinic is closed now. Please come back early tomorrow!"

The old woman didn't know the background of Changshan Medical Clinic, so when faced with Xiaohuan's rejection, she wanted to lose her temper. Fortunately, Chen Wanting, who was standing by, was quick to pull her and she stopped.

After stopping the old woman who was about to lose her temper, Chen Wanting also smiled and said to Xiao Huan:
"Since your restaurant is closed, we won't bother you any more. Goodbye!"

After saying this, Chen Wanting was about to take people away, but as soon as she turned around, a gentle voice came from behind her.

"Are you Chen Wanting?"

Hearing someone say her name, Chen Wanting was a little surprised and looked back subconsciously, only to see a woman in plain clothes appearing on the steps and looking at her.

The woman was tall, beautiful, and had a gentle temperament. Chen Wanting had seen Pei Zhixiu's portrait before she came here, so she recognized at a glance that this woman was the most beloved woman of Marshal Ye of the current dynasty - Pei Zhixiu!

"My name is Chen Wanting, I am here to meet Madam Pei!"

Seeing Pei Zhixiu appear, Chen Wanting wanted to bow and salute immediately. Seeing this, Mrs. Pei waved her hand and said softly:

“You are not feeling well, so there is no need to be polite. Please come in…”

"Thank you, Mrs. Pei!"

A moment later, Chen Wanting walked into the house with the help of the maids and old women. Looking at the medicine box that Pei Zhixiu had packed, Chen Wanting said apologetically:
"I'm sorry to be late and disturb your rest, Madam Pei!"

"No problem! What's wrong with you?"

"I've been suffering from anemia lately. Doctor Zhao from the medical school saw me before and prescribed me a medicine. I haven't seen any improvement after taking it for a while, so I came to ask you, Mrs. Pei, to take a look!"

"Dr. Zhao Yikun from the Medical College?"

"Yes! It's Doctor Zhao Yikun!"

Pei Zhixiu became cautious after hearing this, and then began to diagnose Chen Wanting's pulse. After a cup of tea, Pei Zhixiu finished diagnosing Chen Wanting and said:
"Can you show me the prescription Zhao Yikun gave you?"

Hearing Pei Zhixiu say this, Chen Wanting immediately asked the maid beside her to hand the prescription to Pei Zhixiu.

After carefully examining the prescription, Pei Zhixiu also asked:
"How long have you been taking this medicine? Do you take it on time every day?"

Chen Wanting said without hesitation:
"Today is the day I've been taking this medicine. I take it on time every day, but there's no improvement!"

Hearing this answer, Pei Zhixiu nodded slightly, and then fell into deep thought. Seeing this, Chen Wanting's heart was also hanging. After hesitating for a while, she asked:
"Mrs. Pei, how is my health now?"

Pei Zhixiu hesitated for a moment and said:
"You do have anemia, but I'm sorry. I think the prescription that Doctor Zhao prescribed is good enough. The most I can do is make some minor changes on this basis. Logically speaking, after you take this medicine for twelve days, your health should improve!"

"But it's a little strange that you haven't gotten better. I wonder if there's a possibility that in addition to your physical illness, you also have a mental illness, and it's this mental illness that's affecting your physical illness?"

As soon as these words came out, Chen Wanting immediately fell silent, and her eyes became complicated...
