Xiping Village is located in a relatively remote area, a full 20 kilometers away from the county seat in a straight line.
But if you want to get to the county seat, you have to go around a mountain.
The distance is nearly doubled.
The speed of the donkey cart is not very fast, about ten to fifteen kilometers.
A round trip takes five or six hours.
I have to be busy with some miscellaneous things when I get to the county seat. If I go late, I won't be able to come back before dark.
Nothing happened on the way, so Zhao Ping asked Li Shou about the official status of selling medicinal materials.
Li Shou really knows.
He didn't pay much attention to medicine, but he was afraid that ordinary people could not afford medicine and would die by digging up some herbs randomly, so they banned ordinary people from collecting medicine.
Only by obtaining official documents can one have that qualification.
There are two ways to obtain official documents.
First, pass the exam to become a medical officer.
There is a medical officer examination every year in Dawei, which is presided over by the state pastor of each state capital, and only the top ten are selected.
The first one went to the capital and worked in Tai Hospital.
He can be regarded as a Beijing official, and he can reach the sky in one step.
The remaining nine were assigned by the state pastor based on the situation in the local state capital, and entered local government-run medical clinics, or opened medical clinics at their own expense.
These people all have official documents and can dig up medicinal materials at will.
Second, become an apprentice to a medical officer.
Moreover, they are deeply trusted by medical officials, and only those with profound knowledge in medicine are qualified to obtain official documents from medical officials.
After all, the Dawei Dynasty was extremely strict about medicine.
The entire process from excavation to sale is strictly controlled.
No matter what goes wrong, the person who cashed the official documents will be jointly and severally liable.
Therefore, those medical officers would not issue official documents easily.
Hearing these words, Zhao Ping felt a little down.
As a top student in the medical school, he originally wanted to make a lot of money in the Wei Dynasty with his advanced medical knowledge.
As a result...it seemed like the road was blocked.
But Zhao Ping is not worried.
After all, he has more than one way to make money in his mind.
Such as making soap, improving looms, brewing wine, refining fine salt, sugar, etc.
Zhao Ping had watched the videos of ancient bloggers a lot in the past. Although he had not done it in detail, he thought it would be successful if he tried it a few times.
Just doing something casually is enough for him to gain a foothold in this society.
Of course, the most convenient thing is selling medicine.
There are so many medicinal materials in the back mountains. As long as you have official documents, you are just making money.
So Zhao Ping plans to try it himself to see if this road is accessible or not? !
In more than an hour, the two arrived at Yun'an County.
The city wall is very high, two or three feet tall.
Not to mention the potholes on it, there are also many burnt black spots.
All of them indicate that fierce battles have taken place here.
There are three big black characters on the gatehouse, which read Yun'an County.
There were soldiers guarding both sides.
Pedestrians and merchants must pay an entrance fee of two copper coins.
Li Shou was very familiar with this routine, and after finishing it, he took Zhao Ping to sell rabbits.
Each rabbit cost one hundred cents, and Zhao Ping made four hundred cents.
Li Shou had to be busy with other things, so he parted ways with Zhao Ping.
Zhao Ping went to the medical clinic.
I got the news from Li Shou that there are three medical clinics in Yun'an County, one of which is government-run and is only responsible for treating county officials.
The threshold for this kind of medical center is a bit high, so Zhao Ping simply skipped it.
The other two were opened with their own funds after taking the Chinese Medical Examination.
After all, it is not easy to enter a government-run medical clinic without an identity background.
Zhao Ping first went to Cao's Medical Center near the east gate, but was kicked out as soon as he expressed his intention.
A guy who is not even an apprentice still wants to ask for official documents. It is simply a daydream!
Zhao Ping was a little disheartened, but still refused to give up and went to the second house.
It is the Miaoshou Huichun Hall in the west of the city.
Medical officer Lin Hua is not here, and the person doing the consultation is first-class apprentice Tao Jian.
The consulting table was a three-foot-long table, with people gathered in front of it, vying to describe their illness and request Tao Jian's diagnosis and treatment.
Zhao Ping shook his head when he saw this scene.
Everyone is a patient, so crowded together, airtight, something might go wrong.
Zhao Ping knew that he was not qualified to take care of it, so he lay beside Tao Jian and loudly explained his purpose.
Tao Jian did not drive Zhao Ping away directly, but his attitude was quite cold, "If you want to get an official document, take the exam."
"There are test questions left by Medical Officer Lin in the room next to you. If you can answer them to the satisfaction of Medical Officer Lin, you will not only get the official document, but you will also be directly promoted to a first-class apprentice."
In Miaoshou Huichun Hall, apprentices are also divided into three, six or nine levels.
First-class apprentices are basically considered apprentices and are eligible to sit in clinics.
Second-class apprentices are responsible for grabbing medicine and decoction.
The third-class apprentice is the lowest and is mainly responsible for digging for medicinal materials.
There is only one first-class apprentice like Tao Jian in the entire Miaoshou Huichun Hall.
If Lin Hua is not here, he is the head of Miaoshou Huichun Hall.
Asking Zhao Ping to take the exam is also a disguised form of driving him away.
After all, those who can pass the test are often already qualified to take the medical officer examination.
Who has nothing to do and comes here to take an apprenticeship exam?
He must be here to cause trouble.
Unexpectedly, Zhao Ping actually went in.
"Senior Brother, is this person a fool? He actually went in for the exam. Can't he hear that you are driving him away?"
The second-class apprentice who grabbed the medicine couldn't help but laugh.
"snort!"
Tao Jian snorted, his face full of disdain.
"I don't know how high the sky is."
"The test questions left by Medical Officer Lin are all the essence of the medical officer examinations over the years. Even if I answered the questions in person, I could only get six or seven points. However, Medical Officer Lin asked for nine points. It's strange that he could answer them. Woolen cloth."
"Don't worry about him. After the exam is over, I will charge you 500 paper, ink, pen and inkstone."
Yes, in Tao Jian's view, Lin Hua set this test not to attract talents, but to make money.
After all, the cost of paper, ink, pen and inkstone is less than a hundred yuan, and the time it takes to burn a stick of incense has doubled five or six times, just like picking up money.
It's this kind of opportunity that's hard to come by.
After all, there are not many fools like Zhao Ping.
The furnishings in the back room are very simple, with only a desk with pens, ink, paper and inkstones placed on it.
Question papers hang on the wall.
Zhao Ping took a glance, and his anxious heart relaxed.
It's very simple, it's all basic knowledge about medicine.
Like identifying medicinal materials, understanding its effects, how to use medicine, etc.
Zhao Ping had learned these in his previous life and answered them fluently.
The next big question is about prescription.
According to the specific case, corresponding medicines are prescribed.
This one is also simple. Zhao Ping had read so many medical books in his previous life and answered it quickly.
The only difficult thing is the additional question, how to deal with the malaria plague?
Without cinchona bark and artemisinin, this thing would be impossible to deal with.
Only prevention.
Zhao Ping wrote down his preventive measures.
Of the original two hours to answer the question, Zhao Ping only took half an hour to complete it and walked out.
Then he was dumbfounded.
There was chaos outside.
There were many people around, all pointing at Tao Jian and saying some unpleasant things.
He is a quack doctor who has cured people to death. He is not worthy of being a first-class apprentice, not qualified to sit in the clinic, etc.
Tao Jian's face was quite ugly, and he tried his best to defend himself, "This matter has nothing to do with me. I didn't prescribe any medicine, let alone touch her, and she collapsed. You can't blame me."
Only then did Zhao Ping see a young woman lying in the middle of the crowd.
Her face turned red, she sweated a lot, and her body twitched from time to time, as if she had a heat stroke.
"Get her out quickly."
Tao Jian added: "Letting her die in our Huichun Hall is tarnishing the reputation of our medical center."
Just then, an old man with a white beard carrying a medicine box walked in from the door.
When he saw this situation, he immediately frowned and asked, "Tao Jian, I just left for a while, and you made the medicine hall look like this. How did you become a first-class apprentice?"
"Doctor Lin, you really don't blame me for this."
When Tao Jian saw it was Lin Hua, he hurriedly explained, ignoring all his responsibilities.
Unexpectedly, Lin Hua didn't like him at all.
He scolded with a stern face, "As an apprentice in a medical clinic, that's what a doctor is. You don't even have the most basic medical ethics of saving lives and healing the wounded. You really let me down."
Tao Jian's face turned red after being scolded, but he did not dare to refute.
Lin Hua had no time to take care of him, so he rushed to the woman's side and began to take her pulse and check her condition.
But two minutes passed and there was still no result.
No first aid measures were administered.
Zhao Ping couldn't stand it anymore.
If the delay continues, the woman will really die.
He was also a doctor in his previous life, so how could he ignore death? !
"Doctor Lin, she has heatstroke and needs immediate first aid."
Zhao Ping squeezed in and said.
