After Sun Quan finished talking to Pang Tong, he called Pang Tong and Guo Jia over and discussed the current medical system of Wu again. After hearing this, Guo Jia said, "My king, let the people pay some money in advance to collect it. This is equivalent to paying more taxes, but the people can see a doctor for free, while the medical expenses are half the expenses of the government and the people. This is naturally good to the people, but is it necessary?"

Pang Tong asked, "Of course, people will not be unable to afford to treat the disease, and there are more doctors. In the past, doctors were not valued, but there were very few doctors in our country of Wu, and now we have so many doctors, and everyone has guaranteed them. In the past, someone used to look for a doctor, which would definitely cost a lot of money, otherwise the doctor would not prescribe the prescription, and the pharmacy's medicines would be even more expensive, and there were still many medicines, but our country of Wu has solved all the problems."

Sun Quan also said: "This medical reform is necessary. We must care about the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the people, but on this basis we must also care about the health of the people. Moreover, our people must be literate and give them the opportunity to become officials. All of this is done well, which is really good to the people."

Guo Jia began to understand and said, "My king, no wonder you have considered the people so comprehensively. It is no wonder that Chibi failed. Even without that fire, my king will definitely win, and the people's hearts can be used."

Sun Quan smiled and said, "I won't talk about the past, let's talk about the current methods now. In addition, we have to think more about how to make money. The reason why the treasury is rich now depends mainly on our gold and silver mines. Of course, banks have also played a big role. Taxes are basically in deficits every year."

Guo Jia said: "My king, this is because these doctors are not virtuous or embezzled, but they can't kill them all like this. One is that we are already a small population now, so there are even fewer talents who can learn it. Besides, we will not be punished to death."

Sun Quan said angrily: "It's not that sins will not die, but that sins deserve to die. Such people often force the patient's family to be destroyed. In the end, the disease will not only not be cured, but may also owe a lot of debts for it. It's abominable to kill people directly. How can such people quell public anger if they don't kill them?"

Pang Tong said: "My king, I think killing is second. How can we prevent such a situation from happening?"

Guo Jia also heard Pang Tong introduce the prescriptions that Sun Quan said during the day, and thought it was very good, but asked again: "My king, are our local doctors responsible for prescriptions and medication? If the two are separated, it will be much better."

Sun Quan said embarrassedly: "I don't know this either. I guess they are together. I have to ask the cabinet's people to know."

Pang Tong also said: "My king, in fact, what you said is basically OK and what Guo Cifu said just now. It should be fine. We should formulate some relevant laws as best."

Sun Quan asked Pang Tong to record this matter, and then said something else, saying: "We have now comprehensively promoted chess, Go, and playing cards. What would happen if we included these in the content of the sports meet in the future?"

Guo Jia said happily: "My king, what is this called exercise? You basically just sit and don't move when playing chess, so it can't be called exercise, right?"

Pang Tong also said: "My king, I think it's better to arrange the competition separately. This cannot be called a sports, and no one will think so."

When Sun Quan heard this, everyone didn't think that mental exercise was exercise, so he said, "Okay, let's play alone, it's more lively if you separate them, but think about it, there must be many people watching our competition, especially in the last ten games, many people watched, but the chessboard is so big, how can you see clearly?"

Guo Jia said: "My king, I used to have a big chess board on the wall. It was specially made chess pieces. We can also make this so that everyone can see clearly."

Sun Quan said: "Our boat has magnets and steel plates, so it's more convenient to suck it with iron chess pieces."

Pang Tong said: "My king, that's not convenient. The suction force of iron-sucking stone is so high, it's very troublesome to take it down."

Guo Jia also said: "For playing cards, we can show both sides' cards, so everyone knows it, but what's the use of showing them to everyone?"

Sun Quan said: "It doesn't matter to everyone on the boat. They are all military people and the people are immigrants. But if we are in the competition in Stone City, those rich and rich men will come to the competition, and they will even place bets to block the winning or losing, then we can make money for those who come to the competition to spend money to buy tickets and make money!"

Guo Jia said in surprise: "This is OK, no wonder we are not short of money."

Pang Tong said: "This thing has been done long ago, making money is normal. Cao Gong should also be very good at making money. Didn't you support all the Qingzhou Yellow Turbans with hundreds of thousands of yuan?"

Sun Quan said: "Cao Gong made money from dead people, and we made money from living people. This is different."

Guo Jia asked, "My king, how did you know? You didn't take power at that time?"

Sun Quan smiled and said, "What I found out later is not good!"

Pang Tong said in confusion: "What is dead money?"

Sun Quan said: "It's a tomb robber. He formed a team called the Mojin School Captain, who was responsible for digging graves. Many noble people's graves were dug by them, and then they used this money to buy food and grass. In fact, it was really important to dig. There were actually a lot of copper coins cast by the state, but in the end there were not enough copper coins to use. It was mainly buried underground. After the amount of money available, the country would have problems."

Guo Jia and Pang Tong didn't understand economics and asked, "What's the problem with this?"

Sun Quan said: "The money that can be used is less, and the money is even more valuable. If there are ten copper plates now, and each of us has one product, we can all price this product. The price can be ten copper plates, but if there are only five copper plates, the price of this product is still ten copper plates, but we can't get ten copper plates, so we can't buy or sell it. If not, we can only say that we can exchange my goods directly with yours."
