My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!
Chapter 545 - 353 Li Yun's Enlightenment_3

In terms of medicine, the national conditions of Daxia and Zhao Country are different, which he hadn't considered before.

The medical industry in various regions, from upstream to downstream, is monopolized by famous families, making it difficult for the court to intervene.

According to the Imperial Doctor Order, they grow their own medicinal herbs, train their own doctors, open Medical Halls and pharmacies, and if outsiders try to enter this industry, they will quickly be suppressed by them, ending either in bankruptcy or being sold to them at low prices.

Li Nuo merely applied their own methods against them.

The law doesn't support him doing this, so he plans to create a specific law for it.

This way, it won't count as violating the law.

The Right Prime Minister asked, "I would like to know, what do you plan to do next?"

Li Nuo replied, "Medicine concerns the people's livelihood and must be held in the hands of the court. Private Medical Halls can be allowed, but they must be subject to court supervision. The Imperial Hospital should set a price cap based on the cost of planting and transporting each type of medicinal herb; the pricing of medicines in all Medical Halls must not exceed this cap. The court should also increase the planting of medicinal herbs to break the monopoly of the famous families..."

The high price of medicine is due, on one hand, to the monopoly of famous families raising prices artificially.

On the other hand, it is because the yield of medicinal herbs is extremely low. Ultimately, the yield must be increased.

The Right Prime Minister said indifferently, "What you say can be implemented in the Capital, but outside the Capital, it would be very difficult. Do you intend to forcibly turn all Medical Halls in the world into National Medical Halls?"

Li Nuo did not deny it and nodded, "Currently, that is indeed unachievable."

In Chang'an, he could do whatever he wanted, but in others' territories, his words were not final.

At the Fifth Realm, his words were not final.

At the Sixth Realm, his words were still not final.

But when he reaches the Seventh Realm, who would dare say his words are not final?

Li Nuo handed the drafted medical law to the Left Prime Minister, then left the Secretariat to go home for dinner.

The Left Prime Minister suddenly said, "Regarding the funding for military expansion, the Secretariat has approved it."

The Right Prime Minister raised an eyebrow in surprise, "Oh, you changed your mind?"

The Left Prime Minister said, "Li Nuo is right. The current power of the famous families in Daxia is too immense. Any peaceful legal reform is futile. Not much of the Silver spent by the court truly benefits the common people."

The Right Prime Minister's gaze shifted slightly, "I never expected you, the old stubborn, to come around one day."

Suddenly curious, he asked, "What did he say about the reform?"

The Left Prime Minister slowly said, "He said there is no reform without blood and sacrifice. If the blood of the enemy doesn't flow, then our own blood must flow. To enable the people of Daxia to live better lives, there is only one way..."

The Right Prime Minister immediately asked, "What way?"

...

Ministry of Personnel.

It was widely known that the Left Prime Minister was mild-tempered and the Right Prime Minister treated others harshly and was usually stern. Apart from the Li Family, no officials in the court dared to not fear the Right Prime Minister.

However, today, when the Right Prime Minister returned from the Secretariat, he actually had a rare smile on his face.

Soon everyone learned that the Left Prime Minister had agreed to his military expansion funding.

This was no surprise, as the Right Prime Minister firmly believed that Wei Country and Daxia would eventually go to war, and he always wanted to expand the military to prepare for the impending battle. However, the Left Prime Minister had consistently refused, and they had argued countless times over this.

Today, having his wish fulfilled, the Right Prime Minister was evidently very pleased, and the officials in the Ministry of Personnel even heard him laugh heartily in the government office.

The Right Prime Minister had a tragic background, with all his family members being killed early on by opponents of reform. Not even his closest disciple had ever seen him laugh so openly.

Ningxin Garden.

Li Nuo had just finished his meal and was playing shuttlecock with Mumu when a figure suddenly rushed over in a whirlwind.

Li Yun, with messy hair and looking extremely haggard, yet his eyes were bright and spirited, excitedly looked at Li Nuo and said, "I realized it, I realized it, I discovered the secret of boiling water!"
