For several days, Yuan Yao didn't have a good sleep.
Yuan Yao was excited when he thought that he had conquered Huang Zhong, and that he was still Huang Zhong in his prime.
Who can still sleep?
I finally have top-notch combat power. No matter who I fight from now on, I will be more confident.
Although he only slept for one or two hours every night, Yuan Yao was still in high spirits every day.
This extremely excited state made Feng Fangnu worried, so she secretly invited her master Zhang Ji and her master's close friend Hua Tuo from Shangliao.
However, after careful consultation between the two, it was finally confirmed that Yuan Yao was in good health.
Yuan Yao just wanted to find them. Now that the conditions were ripe, it was time to fulfill his original promise to Zhang Zhongjing and do his part to develop the cause of ancient medicine.
Hua Tuo was about to bid farewell to Yuan Yao. He is free and uninhibited by nature and likes to live an unfettered life traveling around as a doctor.
For him, the pleasure of being raised as a disciple by Yuan Yao and having no worries about food and clothing for the rest of his life was far less than the pleasure of diagnosing and treating difficult and complicated diseases.
But when Yuan Yao proposed to establish a school dedicated to training doctors and studying medical techniques and pharmacology, he was immediately attracted by this unheard of idea.
Moreover, Yuan Yao also assured him that he could stay or stay in this school as he pleased, and he could leave at any time if he wanted to, and he would not have to hold an administrative position or be tied down by others. Hua Tuo immediately agreed to participate in the establishment of this school.
Therefore, with the support of Yuzhang County's new county magistrate Chen Li and a group of powerful families in Nanchang, the first official school in history dedicated to training medical and pharmacy talents was established in Nanchang.
This official school specializing in medicine was temporarily named Yuzhang Medical College by Hua Tuo and Zhang Ji.
Hua Tuo was a professor, specializing in missionary medicine. Zhang Jize serves as both a professor and a medical magistrate, responsible for the daily management of this institution.
But when Yuan Yao proposed to recruit more people, train talents in the three categories of "medicine", "medicine" and "nursing" at the same time, and set up medical schools from low to high levels, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing suddenly felt something new. different.
But moments later, both co-founders voted no.
The reason is that Yuan Yao's ideas are completely divorced from reality.
In the Han Dynasty, the literacy rate was appallingly low. Being able to read and write is a major threshold for practicing medicine.
However, the basic family conditions of people who can read and write are not bad. However, medical skills are regarded as a low-end skill, and doctors are regarded as low-level workers, with extremely low status.
And as long as you can read and write, no matter how bad you are, you can work as a petty official in the county or township. Why bother asking for trouble and becoming an unpopular doctor?
Although the profession of treating diseases and saving lives is very important, in this ancient society where colds and fevers are difficult to cure and most diseases rely on self-healing, ordinary people would rather believe in the witchcraft of witches and ghosts than believe that medical skills can save people.
Zhang Jiao's Taiping Road completely proves this point.
Therefore, generally only those whose family fortunes are declining, or those who are particularly interested in treating diseases and saving lives, will learn medical skills and engage in the profession of doctors.
Just like Zhang Zhongjing himself.
Although Yuan Yao intends to establish a complete medical talent training system, reality tells him that this kind of thing can only be done step by step and slowly.
Therefore, he first followed the suggestions of Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing and spent a lot of money to gather the doctors from Yuzhang County together to select suitable people among them, either to serve as medical teachers in the school, or to train them as Hua Tuo's disciples. .
Hua Tuo was fifty years old and had been practicing medicine for thirty years. He had already gained a great reputation. Using his name to recruit disciples had the effect of getting twice the result with half the effort.
The Medical College has only two classes for the time being, one of which is the long-term class, which only recruits literate people under the age of fourteen, so that Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo can train them from scratch, hoping that these teenagers will become the next generation of medical backbone talents in the future.
The other subject is an accelerated course, recruiting young people under the age of twenty and over eighteen. You only need to learn some simple medical skills, such as dressing wounds, fixing fractures, identifying and selecting medicines, applying medicines, etc. The schooling lasts for three to six months, and upon completion, you will be sent to the army to serve as a military doctor.
In order to show their support, Chen Li, Xu Zong and other powerful families in Nanchang each sent one or two unpopular descendants from the last clan as the first batch of students in the long-term class. In this way, the long-term class had more than ten people. A student, reluctantly started the business.
In sharp contrast, there is no shortage of students in the crash course.
Yuan Yao's treatment for military doctors was slightly higher than that for ordinary soldiers. Not only was his family exempted from taxes and corvee, but he also gave his family an additional one-stone food subsidy every month. Of course, when studying at Yuzhang Medical University, room and board are fully guaranteed.
Upon hearing this, the people of Yuzhang rushed to the door of Yuzhang Medical College overnight to sign up with their sons.
Although he is a military doctor and his life is in danger when he goes to the battlefield, it is much better than being a soldier. In these troubled times, every family may be sentenced to death. It is better to send your son to be a military doctor as early as possible. This way, the risk will be smaller and the family will be better off.
The only risk is that Yuan Yao must not be beaten away. The new governor has arrived and will not care about the previous policies.
Seeing that the number of applicants greatly exceeded expectations, Hua Tuo and Zhang Jiyi combined their efforts and changed the age limit to under 18 years old and over 16 years old.
We also selected some talented people from among these people and planned to open another preparatory class to teach these people how to read and write, so as to supplement the long-term class with students.
There are Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing at the Yuzhang Medical Office, and Chen Li and other officials have made it easy for them, so Yuan Yao doesn't have to worry too much.
He only needs to be responsible for spreading coins.
During this time, more and more military information came from the east.
"How are you doing, Major General?" Chen Li stepped into the tent and bowed to Yuan Yao.
"Everything is fine," Yuan Yao replied with a smile: "Jun Cheng Chen is still so happy. It has been seven or eight days since he took office!"
Chen Li smiled and said: "The promotion of a lower official to the position of county magistrate depends entirely on the support of the major general. Therefore, when Chen saw the major general, he couldn't help but be happy!"
"I'm here today to report some important military information."
Chen Li said and glanced at Huang Zhong beside him.
He had met Huang Zhong in the Jingzhou army. Although he had recently heard that Yuan Yao had used 10,000 shi of grain to replace him from Liu Pan, Chen Li still maintained the most basic vigilance at this time.
Yuan Yao put down the bamboo slip in his hand and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. General Huang is one of our own. If Chen Juncheng has something to do, it doesn't matter."
"Major General, I have an old friend in Poyang. Today he sent a message saying that Zhu Hao has recently received the support of the three powerful families in Poyang, and his military strength has increased greatly!"
The Chen family is the only native family among many local clans in Yuzhang that has become a major clan in the county in recent years. It is not surprising that there are some connections.
"Jun Cheng Chen, please elaborate."
"These three Poyang clans are Peng, Li and Wang. Their leaders are Peng Cai, Li Yu and Wang Hai, among whom Peng Cai is the most respected."
"The Major General must know about Peng Cai."
Yuan Yao was also surprised after hearing this: "Isn't Peng Cai dead yet?"
"This general thought that the Peng family had been destroyed in the Shangliao battle. Even if this person did not die in the rebel army, he would have fled to the deep mountains and forests and turned his tail between his legs."
"Why did it suddenly pop up again now?"
Chen Li smiled slightly: "It seems that as I expected, the general does not know the origin of the Peng family!"
