Nowadays, after gradually getting used to a life of intrigues and calculations of interests, Zhao Junchen has developed a habit that he doesn't know whether it is good or bad. That is, no matter what happens to him, he will think about it subconsciously - this matter can What impact will it have? What other ones can you use? How much benefit can it bring to yourself? How much trouble can it bring to political opponents? ——Then, Zhao Junchen will come up with a lot of plans.
This kind of thinking has almost become Zhao Junchen's instinct.
In other words, all mature politicians will have this instinct, that is, to use every opportunity to seek benefits for themselves!
When Zhao Junchen learned that Zhang Decheng, the miracle doctor, had come to stay in the Zhao Mansion temporarily, he also followed the same idea - could Zhang Decheng's appearance bring benefits to him?
The answer is of course yes!
Zhang Decheng has excellent medical skills and has treated countless people. He is the leader in Xinglin. He is known as "the incense of thousands of families brings forth Buddhas". He also has a weird temperament that dislikes the rich and loves the poor. He sometimes blackmails wealthy people and sometimes helps poor people. He has done this three times in a row. He refused the honor of becoming the imperial physician in the palace, but instead received great praise from Emperor Deqing. All of this gave Zhang Decheng a very high reputation among the people. Even among the wealthy families who had been blackmailed by Zhang Decheng, due to Zhang Decheng's reputation Outstanding, not only did he not dare to retaliate, but he even praised Zhang Decheng's medical skills and ethics against his will.
Such a reputation will naturally bring benefits to Zhao Junchen.
In short, as long as Zhao Junchen manages to control Zhang Decheng and bind Zhang Decheng to himself, Zhao Junchen's reputation among the people can be further improved.
It is precisely because of this that Zhao Junchen suddenly proposed a medical school.
*****
Not to mention Zhao Junchen's wishful thinking, but after Zhang Decheng heard Zhao Junchen's proposal. He was slightly startled.
Zhang Decheng did not expect that the medical fee Zhao Junchen planned to pay him was not real money, but a medical school!
However. Medical school is much more valuable than real money.
For a moment, Zhang Decheng felt a little incredible. Said: "Zhang is a little confused about what Mr. Zhao means."
Because he had some expectations in his heart, Zhang Decheng's attitude was actually lowered.
Zhao Junchen, with a serious expression, explained in detail: "Speaking of it, Ru'er and I have had sex quite a lot, but Ru'er's belly just hasn't moved, and I don't know who has the problem. Although her son didn't show it, I knew that this matter had become a heartache for her, so she would spend a lot of money to ask Doctor Zhang for a prescription for pregnancy... In addition to considering the continuation of future generations, I really don't want to Seeing Ruer always making things difficult for me..."
After sighing, Zhao Junchen shook his head again and said: "So, if Dr. Zhang can help me and Ru'er conceive a child, it will be a great kindness to us. Although I do not lack gold and silver, but such mundane things It's not enough to express my gratitude, so I want to set up a medical school and give it as a medical fee to Dr. Zhang - I know that Dr. Zhang has been traveling among the people for many years and has been benevolent to the world. He also often subsidizes patients. Medicine, of course, has a doctor's benevolence, but one person's power is limited after all. Even if you, Dr. Zhang, try your best, how many people can you treat in a year? You might as well build a medical school, and the system, regulations, and scale can all emulate those Famous academies, with Dr. Zhang Shen as the dean, in addition to teaching in person, can also hire some prestigious and capable doctors as professors, and then recruit a certain number of qualified apprentices every year to teach them medical ethics and skills. In this way . In just over ten years, there will be thousands more good doctors in the world. Tens of thousands of people will benefit. Isn’t this effect much better than that of Divine Doctor Zhang who travels around to heal?"
It has to be said that Zhang Decheng was indeed a little tempted when he heard Zhao Junchen's proposal.
Originally, Zhang Decheng had made up his mind to take advantage of this opportunity to blackmail Zhao Junchen for at least 70,000 to 80,000 taels of silver as a medical fee.
However, Zhang Decheng did not expect that Zhao Junchen would be so generous and would directly give him a medical school! ,
Moreover, according to Zhao Junchen, the size of this medical school will be comparable to those of famous academies!
You know, if you want to establish a medical school of a certain scale, the initial investment alone requires at least tens of thousands of taels of silver! Moreover, medical schools are different from academies. Most of the students enrolled in famous academies in the Ming Dynasty were from wealthy backgrounds. Students paid a large amount of tuition to the academies, and they often received donations from the private sector, so they were completely self-sufficient. But medicine The medical school is different. Children from wealthy families rarely choose the path of medicine. Therefore, the medical school cannot collect enough tuition fees from students. However, the cost of studying medicine is much higher than studying poetry and calligraphy. This means that Not only was this medical school unable to be self-sufficient after its establishment, it also needed to subsidize a large amount of money every year just to survive.
Since ancient times, there have been many academies that teach poetry and prose, and many martial arts schools that teach martial arts. However, there are very few medical schools that teach medical skills. The reason is simply that the investment in medical schools is too large and the income is too little. Not only can't you make money, but you have to continue to subsidize it, that's all.
Because of this, although Zhang Decheng had an eccentric personality and a proud heart, he couldn't help but be tempted after hearing Zhao Junchen's proposal.
However, out of wariness of Zhao Junchen, Zhang Decheng still had concerns.
Zhang Decheng hesitated for a moment and then asked Zhao Junchen: "Is the scale of this medical school really comparable to those famous academies?"
Zhao Junchen nodded and said: "With the reputation of Divine Doctor Zhang, how can we settle for a small place? As long as Divine Doctor Zhang is willing, I will immediately provide the money to buy land and build a house, and buy all the necessary items, which can accommodate at least three hundred people." Apprentices learn medicine at the same time.”
Zhang Decheng asked again: "After the establishment of this medical school, I was the dean, but if you paid the money, who would be in charge?"
Zhao Junchen replied again: "Mr. Zhang is the dean, so of course you have the final say in everything, Dr. Zhang! I am only responsible for paying the money. I will not interfere with the daily enrollment, teaching, and other matters. "
Zhang Decheng hesitated again for a moment, then said: "Let's talk about it first. Once this medical school is established, not only will it not be able to make money for you, but it will also have to subsidize a lot of money every year. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is a bottomless pit, Mr. Zhao. Have you thought about it?"
Zhao Junchen smiled and asked: "Doctor Zhang, you are famous for hating the rich and loving the poor, and I am a notorious corrupt official, so why do you, Dr. Zhang, feel sorry for me?"
Hearing Zhao Junchen's rhetorical question, Zhang Decheng was stunned at first, and then he couldn't help but laugh - indeed, since Zhao Junchen is willing to be the scapegoat, why should he feel sorry for Zhao Junchen?
Next, Zhang Decheng confirmed some situations with Zhao Junchen and put forward some conditions, and received satisfactory answers from Zhao Junchen.
So, Zhang Decheng finally nodded and said: "If you only provide money and do nothing, and I have the final say in everything, then I can accept this medical school as the medical fee! However, I can't trust you. After we go back, we A written document needs to be established as evidence, and all conditions must be added to the written document to prevent you from regretting it in the future!"
Zhao Junchen smiled and said: "This is natural!"
Seeing Zhao Junchen's generosity, Zhang Decheng couldn't help but feel happy.
After all, once this medical school is established, it will inevitably become a grand event in Xinglin. It will not only benefit the people and benefit Xinglin. As the founder and first dean of this medical school, Zhang Decheng will be famous throughout the ages. Be famous all over the world.
At the same time, Zhao Junchen was also very happy.
Zhang Decheng has a very high reputation among the people. Not only does he attract the attention of the world, but the people are also willing to believe in him. As long as Zhang Decheng is willing to serve as the dean of this medical school, then Zhao Junchen, as the main sponsor of this medical school, will definitely be able to benefit from it. Quite a few, you can take the opportunity to turn around your reputation and improve your image.
In addition, after the establishment of this medical school, there will be a steady stream of doctors. While these doctors are treating people everywhere, they will also become the propagandists of Zhao Junchen's charity, and there will also be tens of thousands of people or direct Or indirectly benefited from Zhao Junchen, this situation can extensively and deeply reverse Zhao Junchen's reputation among the people.
Compared with these effects, Zhao Junchen only needs to invest a few thousand taels of silver every year to maintain the operation of the medical school. Zhao Junchen has a lot of money, but his reputation is very poor, so this price is simply not worth mentioning to Zhao Junchen. !
The best thing is that Zhao Junchen's move to change his reputation will not arouse the suspicion of Emperor Deqing and the court officials, because in their view, the reason why Zhao Junchen wanted to establish this medical school was just because he was Zhang Decheng took the opportunity to blackmail him, and it was completely out of necessity, so they would not suspect Zhao Junchen's true purpose at all.
*****
But just when Zhao Junchen and Zhang Decheng were secretly happy, the carriage they were riding in slowly stopped.
Then, outside the carriage, Xu Qingyan reported to Zhao Junchen: "Master, the seventh prince's residence has arrived."
After hearing the report, Zhao Junchen said to Zhang Decheng: "Okay, we will discuss the medical school matters in detail in the future, let's get down to business now! After meeting His Highness the Seventh Prince, I hope Dr. Zhang can make a serious diagnosis, and we must find out clearly. The seventh prince’s physical condition…”
As he spoke, Zhao Junchen's tone was somewhat meaningful.
