The Great Seminary

Chapter 370 Licking the Dog
The improvement of the political framework of the "True Dragon" state and the guidance of people's thinking actually originated entirely from Zhang Gui's "design".

Even many of the innovative words and phrases used in society today are copied from the booklet he wrote to Song Wenhua six years ago, when the country was just starting out, which was supposedly "an explanation of the usage of vernacular Chinese".

But Zhang Gui understands that, for example, agriculture, animal husbandry, and fisheries at the national level should be produced on a large scale.
Public transportation should be subsidized by the state.

The government should provide unemployed citizens with basic living allowances and other policies, which can be implemented in one step.

Public healthcare should be systematized, which means replacing small private clinics with large public hospitals, and improvements should be made gradually.

However, he doesn't understand that modern scientific medicine, such as the methods used to cure diseases in his previous life, cannot be "replicated" no matter how capable he is.

Therefore, the doctors of the "public" government of the true dragon (the emperor) basically used the methods of "observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation," along with herbal medicine, acupuncture, moxibustion, and bone setting...

These are the classical medical techniques of Dongshengzhou.

As for methods with supernatural elements such as "spiritual observation, burning talisman water, and fire refining elixirs," these were not methods that the general public could enjoy.

After all, the cutting-edge gene therapy available only in the top hospitals of those megacities in Zhang Gui's previous life wasn't something that could save the lives of ordinary people...

The female doctor from the "Category 1 Hospital" in Zhumi City watched Zhang Gui's head stick out of the car door.

I subconsciously reached out and pried open his eyelids to take a look, then said, "Rotate your eyeballs."

"Thank you, but I feel really good right now."

Although the female doctor's behavior was abrupt, because of the special nature of her profession and the compassionate heart of a doctor, Zhang Gui not only did not get angry, but also obediently rolled his eyes.

"Doctors in Nishiga Prefecture have a different approach: the 'observation, auscultation, inquiry, and palpation' method makes diagnosing brain diseases and gastrointestinal inflammation much simpler."

Your eyes are clear, so there shouldn't be any major problems for now.

When you have some free time, it's best to get proper treatment and not avoid seeking medical help.

The female doctor released her hand and pointed.

After that, he ignored Zhang Gui, nodded to the Chen siblings, and said, "Chen Zhong, Xiao Yong, I'm going back to the hospital now."

No sooner had she spoken than a young female colleague of similar age behind her suddenly laughed and said:
"Dr. Liu, aren't we supposed to be taking over Dr. Jin and Song Song's outpatient clinic this afternoon?"

The company shuttle buses have been occupied by officials with the title of "chief" for the past few days, so I have to take the "public bus" to get around.

It's getting late, why don't you ask Brother Chen to give you a ride?"

“Okay, no problem,” Chen Zhong nodded eagerly and agreed.

"No, thank you. You have passengers in your car, and the place I'm going to is quite far."

But the female doctor was a woman of principle and immediately refused her friend's kind offer.

But Chen Zhong, clearly just a sycophant, wouldn't give up and said urgently:
"It's okay, I drive fast. Where are you going? I'll drop off my passenger and it'll be right there."

“I need to go to Fengyu Port for a medical check-up, but that requires leaving the city. How come you can get there so easily with just one turn?”

The female doctor smiled and shook her head.

Chen Zhong was taken aback. "What a coincidence! The passengers on the bus are also going to Fengyu Port."

I'm not kidding you.

He seemed to be a reporter from out of town, who came to our Zhumi City specifically to interview about the Japanese "entering Hong Kong".

Oh, and he just said those Japanese were a naval invasion, how ridiculous.

The female doctor was slightly taken aback. "I heard from my colleague who came back yesterday that those Japanese people were mostly the elderly, weak, women and children."

They were so hungry they were skin and bones, and looked utterly pitiful, as if they were dying.

But they were indeed wearing tattered military uniforms and had flags, so you could mistake them for naval personnel.

"For someone from out of town to know this, they must really be a reporter."

"No way," Chen Zhong said in surprise.
“Last night I was drinking and heard from some friends who had gone to Fengyu Port to see what was going on that they were a group of Japanese refugees fleeing famine.”

The government built a large shed for them at the dock where salted fish were dried, to shelter them from the wind and rain. They also provided meals, but some Japanese ate the mixed vegetables without chewing them, and choked to death.

"How can someone like this be a sergeant?"

"The grunts are like this." The female doctor seemed to recall something, said softly, and then fell silent.

Seeing that she didn't continue to refuse, Chen Zhong's lips curled up, and he pressed his advantage, saying:
"They not only provide accommodation and food, but also medical care. Regardless of whether those Japanese are soldiers or thieves, our True Dragon Dynasty has done everything it can to be considered benevolent and righteous."

Xiao Hai, get in the car.

Since this is a benevolent policy from the 'public' government, let's not delay."

The female doctor thought for a moment, then deliberately leaned down and asked Zhang Gui a question.
"Sir, I also need to go to Fengyu Port. Can I get a ride?"

Zhang Guisheng was a 'fake good guy' by nature, and besides, although the female doctor was superfluous, she had shown him kindness.

So I smiled and said, "Of course, it's convenient for others and convenient for yourself."

The female doctor thanked him and then sat in the back seat of the steam car.

After all this procrastination, we should finally set off.

But Chen Zhong glimpsed in the rearview mirror that Zhang Gui was exchanging polite pleasantries with the female doctor, and it just looked awkward no matter how he looked at it.

Suddenly, he spoke up: "Um, sir, it seems that Xiao Hai's female colleague is also going to Fengyu Port for outpatient treatment."

"Why don't you move to the front row? Let my sister go to the back, and the three girls can squeeze in, okay?"

Deep down, Zhang Gui always viewed the creation of 'True Dragon' as a real-world strategy game.

The citizens of the True Dragon Kingdom are real people.

At this point, interacting with him, even if the demands are a bit excessive, as long as it doesn't violate his principles, will only be interesting and won't make him angry.

Before Chen Zhong could finish speaking, she interrupted, "Okay, okay."

As I just mentioned, my motto is, "Helping others is helping yourself," hahaha.

As he spoke, Zhang Gui voluntarily climbed out of the steam taxi and sat in the front passenger seat from the back.

This finally calmed the driver down.

A moment later, the steam-powered vehicle smoothly drove onto the main road.

Before accelerating, Chen Zhong honked the horn and whispered to Zhang Gui:
"Buddy, you're a man of principle too."

The fare is waived this time.

Zhang Gui chuckled, "Then thank you."

The steam car then traveled along, stopping and starting, passing through two long, crisscrossing streets, and finally leaving the city.

After traveling another two or three miles, they stopped in front of a rather large dock.

Although this is a suburb, the thriving fishing industry has also fostered a small commercial area.

There are many seafood restaurants, and during mealtimes, there are an unusually large number of diners from near and far.

Zhang Gui got out of the car, looked around, and felt a strange sense of pride.

He murmured to himself, without any intuition:

"Life is a journey of stops and starts, but for those with long-term ambitions, achieving the ultimate goal is the most important thing!"
But appreciating the scenery and achievements along the way is also a way to feel refreshed and relieve worries.

It's decided, I'll live my life well in the human world.

I'll figure out how to deal with the Hundred Earth Demons when I get back to the 'Dungeon Realm'. Oh, and there's also the chaos caused by the Primordial Buddha; it seems to be an indiscriminate 'turmoil' as well.

And what if I get pushed too far by the demons? The Great Qi Emperor's Xia Que and the Queen Mother of the West's Kunlun might also target me… The more I think about it, the more worried I get!
