After several days of fermentation, news about Huimin Pharmacy’s enrollment has spread in all directions.
The status of a doctor is neither high nor low. He is considered to be the highest among all professions. He can also serve as an official. However, there is always a sharp sword hanging over his head. The royal family is not happy and will be aware of being imprisoned at any time.
It is a profession worthy of respect in the hearts of ordinary people. No one can guarantee that they will not get sick or need medical treatment in their lifetime.
It can be said that the upper limit of doctors is low, which is evident from the fact that Zhang Zhongjing, a generation of medical saints, has not been able to enter the official history.
Han Yu once said in "Shi Shuo": "A gentleman who is a witch doctor, a musician, and a master of various skills is despised."
A sentence written by Xu Dachun of the Qing Dynasty in "The Theory of the Origin of Medicine - Preface" can be said to express the sadness of ancient doctors: "Medicine is a small way, a refined meaning, a heavy responsibility, and a lowly job."
Relatively speaking, the path of being a doctor was not a grand one in ancient times, but it was still a good way out. Zhang Zhongjing and Li Shizhen are both typical examples of those who gave up literature to practice medicine. Because of the existence of many well-read poems and books, they left us a series of classic medical works.
Fan Zhongyan also said: If you are not a good appearance, you will be a good doctor. Although he became a good prime minister in the end, it is enough to show that the path of being a doctor is still feasible.
There are also many ordinary people who are willing to send them to study medicine. After all, they are respected by others, and at least they dare not offend them. They also have to say a few good words and stuff them with red envelopes. Ancient doctors were different from those of later generations. The restraints of etiquette and morality were still very strong. It was better to have the restraints of medical ethics.
There is an endless stream of people coming to sign up, all of whom are naturalized families. They are sent here to learn more trades and at least be able to read and write. There is no harm in it. The main thing is that they don’t charge money. The thirst for knowledge is the same in ancient and modern times.
Zheng Xiong refused to accept anyone who came, and the school building with a capacity of five to six hundred people was quickly filled up, and the start time of the school was announced, July 15th. On a good day, the masculine and childlike spirit is not afraid of all ghosts and gods, so it should be able to suppress it.
"Take it, school has started here, would you like to ask the governor to write an inscription?"
As he should, he returned to Wu You.
"Well, you go and ask. It's not convenient for me to go there, so I have to make a trip there."
"Then I'll go right away."
After leaving the pharmacy, Wu You rushed to the Yamen of Yingtian Mansion and mentioned the matter to Zheng Yiyan.
"Forget it about the inscription. I'll give Zheng Xiong a message. After all, he is from an orthodox Juren background. The pharmacy is just a passerby after all. Don't indulge in it. It won't last long if you follow these crooked ways. Although no one says it now, it's just a hindrance. The reputation of Yu Pharmacy does not mean that others do not have troubles in their hearts. I will tell you this, and you should not reveal it to others."
"Your Majesty Fu Yin's words will be conveyed to Ti Ling by your subordinates, and they will never reveal a single word."
In fact, it's not a big deal if he revealed it. Zheng Yiyan just gave him a little warning, which may be what Zheng Yiyan meant.
Wu You came back and passed Zheng Yiyan's words to Zheng Xiong word for word. Zheng Xiong was thoughtful but confused. Could it be that some people want to do something to themselves? They shouldn't, and they haven't offended anyone. Could it be that the Confucians who control teaching and educating people have violated their taboo by spreading medical knowledge?
I have a pain in my head, why don't I need to see a doctor if I care for my sister? Is it necessary to keep it nailed here? I can't figure it out. Forget it, just play with yourself. If you take it off, you can take it off. You shouldn't be able to kill yourself.
I didn't want to do the inscription myself, so I took care of the couplets and stuff myself without asking anyone.
On July 15th, the little ghosts are coming. There are adults and children, and it looks like there are quite a lot of people.
At the school gate, the ten big characters of the First Affiliated School of Huimin Pharmacy are very eye-catching. The name is long, and the characters written by Zheng Xiong are not ugly. After all, I still have some foundation in this life, otherwise I will not pass the examination.
Below is a couplet: If you want to get promoted and make a fortune, please go another way. If you are greedy for life and afraid of death, don't enter this door.
It's simple and easy to understand. Zheng Xiong just likes her. The key is domineering. It doesn't matter if it's appropriate or not. Some people find it baffling. Getting promoted and making a fortune is easy to understand. What does it mean to be greedy for life and afraid of death? Is there any danger?
Wu You looked thoughtfully, Zheng Yiyan's reminder still ringing in his ears. He saw some commotion in the crowd and hurriedly stepped forward to explain.
"There are still wars going on in some places now. It is not uncommon to recruit some army doctors. There is definitely a danger, but your children are still young, so don't think too much about it."
After hearing Wu You's explanation, the people in the crowd suddenly felt relieved and stopped commotion. Children can't learn anything in more than ten years, and by then the world will be at peace.
Entering the school, a large playground comes into view, that is, the flat land does not cover the rooms and is used as a playground.
The crowd stayed on the playground. Zheng Xiong naturally put the principal's name on his head and started his principal's speech. Wu You and Li Si stood on both sides. Behind him, dozens of doctors from the pharmacy, those who were idle at home, were called over to support the occasion.
"Today is a happy day. The First Affiliated School of Huimin Pharmacy officially opens."
As soon as he finished speaking, the doctors behind him applauded one after another, and the crowd naturally followed suit. Don't ask why, it was just a special arrangement.
"Everyone will grow old one day. Training your children now is so that one day you can take up their position in the future, be better than others, and better save lives and heal the wounded."
applaud.
"Old people often think about the past, and young people often think about the future. Thinking about the past is why we are nostalgic; thinking about the future is why we are hopeful. We are nostalgic, so we are conservative; we are hopeful, so we are aggressive. We are conservative. , so it is always the same; but it is progress, so it is new day by day. Just thinking about the past, everything is as it has been, so we only know that it is the same as usual; only thinking about the future, everything is as it has been, so we always dare to make exceptions. Old age People often worry a lot, and young people often like to have fun. But they worry too much, so they are discouraged. But they are happy, so they are energetic. But they are discouraged, so they are cowardly. But they are energetic, so they are heroic. But they are timid, so they are contented. But they are heroic. Yes, so we take risks. We only care about things, so we can destroy the world; we only take risks, so we can create the world. Old people are often tired of things, young people are always happy with things. We are tired of things, so we always feel that there is nothing we can do; only good things Ye, so he always feels that everything is impossible. The old are like the sunset, the young are like the morning sun; the old are like the barren cows, and the young are like the suckling tigers.
Therefore, the responsibility today does not lie with others, but with my young man. The wisdom of young people will make the country wise, the richness of young people will make the country rich, the strength of young people will make the country strong, the independence of young people will make the country independent, the freedom of young people will make the country free, and the progress of young people will make the country progress. The red sun rises, its path shines brightly; the river flows out of its undercurrent, pouring out into the ocean; the hidden dragon rises into the abyss, its scales and claws fly; the milk tiger roars in the valley, and all beasts are frightened; the eagle and falcon test its wings, the wind and dust spread; the first birth of a strange flower is revealed. Your Majesty, the officers and men have their awnings, and the sky is blue, and the earth is yellow; despite the eternity, there are eight wastelands, the future is like the sea, and the future is long. How beautiful, my young Chinese, I am as old as the sky; magnificent, my young Chinese, I am boundless by my country!
(I just like it, if you find it taboo, I will change it)
