"If justice and integrity are high, the people will prosper; if they are tolerant and gentle, people will love each other." Emperor Yuan of the Han Dynasty
September 20th of the first year of Jian'an.
Situ Ma Ri, who had been ill for a long time, could not take things into consideration, so he asked Shangshu to excuse himself from the illness. The emperor naturally comforted him with gentle words and asked him to temporarily relieve him from all duties and rest in peace to cultivate. In the end, he could not resist Ma Ri's firm plea.
He was given fifty yi of gold and allowed to return without official duties.
In the eyes of outsiders who don't know the truth, the emperor and Ma Ri have a close relationship. The emperor knows how to respect his ministers and treat them with courtesy, and his ministers do not covet power and give up their thrones. But when they stand higher, they are facing each other.
For those who know more about the information, the exchange between the emperor and Ma Ri was just to preserve the last trace of dignity between the emperor and his ministers. They once joined forces to expel Wang Yun for the sake of convenience, but later out of interests and different political opinions, they
Divided for profit, now it's easy to get together and get together easily.
It's not that the emperor doesn't want to punish Ma Ri, but the three princes have contributed to the rumors in the market. The negative impact of being severely punished by the court is too great, and the impact is definitely not something that the current court can bear. Therefore, let Ma Ri retire on his own initiative, and the emperor will spare him.
With one life, the emperor and his ministers will reach a tacit political understanding in the end, and they can achieve their respective goals.
After Ma Ri left, the vacant position of Situ did not require a lot of intrigues like the Shangshu Ling. Instead, it was quickly resolved. The emperor did not give anyone any time to think about it, and directly ordered Huang Wan, who was living idle, to be his successor.
Situ, record the affairs of the minister.
Regardless of his reputation, ability, and qualifications, Huang Wan was the top choice in both the government and the public. He had served as an official before, so this appointment did not arouse much opposition. It was unexpected and reasonable.
among.
Once Huang Wan, who had been dormant for a long time, came back to life, the first thing he did was to ask Shangshu to imitate the Taixue system and establish a Taiyuan hospital to train skilled doctors to prevent and treat epidemic diseases among the people and serve as military doctors in the army. In addition, he also asked the emperor to transfer his name to the Imperial College.
The Gewuyuan under Taixue was also separated and established separately.
"Let Hua Tuo be the president of the imperial hospital," the emperor said briefly, nodding and looking at everyone, "This man's medical skills are indeed good. He cured Fa Xiaozhi's cold last time, and this time he took his disciples through the streets to prevent and cure the epidemic in the city.
It is also a blessing for Li Shu to have this person start a school and teach his children. Besides, what other regulations does Situ Ke have?"
Huang Wan slowly said, "Just as Taixue has five subjects: Mingjing, Mingfa, and Zhiju, which are divided into enrollment and teaching, Taiyuan Hospital can also be compared with this example and is divided into five departments: disease medicine, ulcer medicine, veterinary medicine, female medicine, and materia medica.
"
The latter people understand that Materia Medica is herbal medicine, and the rest are just as the names suggest, but the emperor is not clear about the first two.
"The disease doctor treats the internal organs, and the war doctor treats the bones and flesh." Huang Wan took the initiative to explain, "These are all recorded in Zhouli, and the Materia Medica and female doctors were established after I asked the doctors privately."
This almost covers the medical sciences of later generations. Based on ancient medical conditions, it is enough to divide them into five general categories. The rest will be left to future generations to explore on their own.
"Since ancient times, doctors have always been involved in witchcraft. In order to avoid a lot of criticism from the government and the public, I think it is better to declare the original intention. It is said that the Imperial Hospital is only for the diagnosis and treatment of epidemic diseases, and it is not a way for scholars to be promoted. Although the Imperial Academy has an examination system, the grand examination will be held after five years of study.
But the best ones will only serve as imperial doctors, the second ones will be sent to counties as chief medical workers, or join the army, and the last ones will go to counties and villages." Although Huang Wan deliberately wanted to gain the emperor's favor through this, he still had to be cautious.
Because of his reputation, he took a lot of risks on this matter, so it would not be an exaggeration to make any suggestions.
The emperor believed deeply and said, "It must be like this, otherwise people all over the world will regard Taiyuan Hospital as a shortcut to becoming an official."
Although the value of doctors is great, it was not as valuable as scholars who studied in any era in ancient times. They were simply low in status and not taken seriously. Although it was better in the Han Dynasty, some scholars also learned medical skills by themselves out of hobbies.
But this does not mean that doctors are a respectable profession. The emperor intended to gradually improve the status of doctors, starting from the Imperial Hospital, but it was difficult to find the source of students.
No matter what you learn, you must start with literacy, and poor people nowadays are rarely literate, and literate scholars will not be willing to come to Tai Hospital, which has a bleak future. After thinking about it, the emperor finally said, "Medical students from Tai Hospital will not be admitted for the time being."
Three hundred people will be appointed, and after annual payment, they can study. If the number of private medical students cannot reach the number, a group of children over twelve years old will be transferred from Mongolian schools."
Most of the children in the elementary school received more than two years of enlightenment education. They were originally planned to be transferred to the Imperial College after the age of fifteen. Now, in order to set up a team of the Imperial College as soon as possible, the emperor had to take this opportunity first to save the emergency.
Huang Wan naturally promised that in the same way, the separated Gewuyuan was also based on the system of Taiyuan Hospital. It had three departments: construction, smelting, and machine learning. Each department recruited fifty people, and its chief was the chief of the hospital, with a rank of 600.
Shi. Taiyuan Hospital and Gewuyuan were built on the former site of Gui Palace. They are adjacent to Dongxi City to the north and Beique Jiadi and other dignitaries' residences to the south. They are in a convenient location.
"Medical students are not as good as Taixue students. After they complete their studies, they need to build a medical building in Taixue and station staff in turns to provide free diagnosis and treatment to Taixue students. In addition, they still need to go to the north and south armies to provide medical treatment to the soldiers. The curative effect is checked at the end of each year and divided into
The third class will be rewarded in turn. Those with many medical mistakes will be punished or even expelled as appropriate." The emperor was still not finished, and then added, "Last time, I asked you to set up a medical clinic in Chang'an to treat Li Shu. Now we might as well set it up widely, first in Beijing.
Each county in Zhao established a medical clinic and recruited qualified doctors from various places to practice medicine there, and the county would provide them with salaries."
Huang Wan was startled at first, then reacted and secretly thought, yes, if we have to build medical clinics in various places, how can there be hundreds of positions for the students from the Tai Hospital after they complete their studies? If they are assigned to medical clinics,
That would be easy. There should be at least ten doctors in a medical clinic, and a larger county or county would have more than one medical clinic. In this way, no matter how many students the Tai Hospital recruits, there will always be room to accommodate them, let alone
There is also a place for military doctors.
Thinking of this, he also thought about the emperor's good intentions. If there are tens of millions of doctors in the future, there will be countless fewer patients in the world and countless casualties in the army. Some poor people among the people died of illness, often because they did not have money to seek medical treatment.
, but there are no qualified professional doctors to be found at all, instead some witch doctors and alchemists are very popular.
In this way, no matter how much you spread the talisman water, you won't be able to win people's hearts.
Huang Wan was sincerely convinced and admired the emperor's far-sightedness and benevolence for the people. He had only done this casually and treated it as a favor to his superiors. Now that he thought about it deeply, he became more serious. "Your Majesty is deeply benevolent and I admire you."
It is no wonder that the imperial hospital’s merits will last for thousands of years, and will be used by future generations. The foolish ministers and humble talents will definitely do their best to support them.”
"I know that you have a love for the people. As long as you remember to think about the people at all times, you will know what I want." The emperor gently nodded and told Huang Wan about the system of the hospital.
, for example, based on the degree of medical proficiency, there are professional titles such as physician, doctor, medical engineer, and doctor; medical directors are all managed by local household officials, and they are of high quality; doctors must often go to Xiangting Village for consultation; poor people who are seriously ill
Li Shu can reduce or reduce medicine fees at his discretion, etc.
Huang Wan originally thought that he cared enough about the sufferings of the people, but now, as if he was meeting the emperor for the first time, he unexpectedly found that the other party paid more attention to these things than he did. While feeling emotional, he worked more sincerely and tried his best, and was secretly glad that he had spent so much time on things.
He made a painstaking choice to serve the emperor.
At the end of September, the power of the drought locusts in Guanzhong was greatly reduced, and the people were at peace. The imperial court was operating in an orderly and efficient manner under the leadership of Huang Wan, Zhao Wen and other capable ministers. Since the emperor had already exempted this year's taxes, the officials in Guanzhong
, the people no longer have to be busy paying taxes and taxes, but they are just starting to organize and repair the ditches and ponds that made great contributions during the drought.
After a year of sorrow and worry, there should be some happy news to inspire people. Huangfu Song, the cavalry general who returned from the victory, was worshiped as a hussar general. Zhonghuangmen gave him imperial treasures, clothes, money and silk. He first suppressed the Hongnong rebellion.
The thief's captain went to Liangzhou to kill Zhang Ji of the Song Dynasty. Zhou Yu and others were also repeatedly awarded and rewarded. Zhou Yu, who was named Dutinghou, was even worshiped as the Prince Consort Captain this time, and was in charge when the emperor was traveling.
Vice-car, accompanying you around.
At the same time, the eighteenth birthday of the emperor's sister, Princess Liu Jiang, was coming soon.
