Chapter 83 Taiyuan Hospital Reform Plan
"Ahem." Queen Ma coughed twice.
Princess Anqing quickly caught Empress Ma's spit with a handkerchief, handed it to the maid on the side, and brought up a cup of pear soup. This recipe was given by Dai Yuanli. The most nourishing to the lungs.
Although it is said that when Queen Ma was critically ill, all the kings came. But now that Queen Ma has passed the critical period, Zhu Yuanzhang, the prince, and the kings can no longer be here. Princess Anqing had nothing else to do, so she came here.
Queen Ma took a bite and seemed to feel better, and said, "I'm actually almost better. You don't have to stay here all the time. You have only been married for a short time, and you don't have children yet. You have to be clean and give me a grandson." yes."
Princess Anqing said with a bit of shyness on her face: "Mom, He Xi said that it would be better for me to give birth to a child in a few years."
Queen Ma also knew the theory of fertility mentioned by He Xi. She sighed and said, "That's fine, He Xi has an idea. What is he doing now?"
Princess Anqing said: "Mother, Mr. Dai rescued you. My father was very happy. He made Mr. Dai Lingjihou."
Queen Ma was stunned and said, "There is another matter. This is inappropriate."
Queen Ma was not a woman who was unfamiliar with court regulations. When Zhu Yuanzhang formulated the court regulations, he even discussed with Queen Ma in many places. No one can be knighted without merit. Even though Dai Yuanli saved Queen Ma's life. However, Queen Ma's personal favor was not enough for a title.
Empress Ma will not do anything that violates the court's regulations.
Princess Anqing said: "Isn't it? He Xi was called over by the eldest brother of the prince to discuss this matter with his father. Firstly, Dai Shenyi always wanted to reward him, otherwise it would be my family's unkindness. Secondly, my father's Golden words and jade words must have a place to fall."
As Princess Anqing spoke, she used a spoon to hand a piece of pear to Queen Ma. After Queen Ma ate it, she said, "If you have any news, please tell me."
"Okay." Princess Anqing said, "But now you should focus on recuperating."
------
"Your Majesty, I believe that Mr. Dai will definitely reward you with a heavy reward for this matter. But you can't just reward Mr. Dai." He Xi said: "Just imagine what the situation of my mother would be like if there was no Mr. Dai today. It has been more than ten years since the founding of the Ming Dynasty. Well, there are many imperial doctors in the palace, why are there not those who are as good as Dai Shenyi? We have to think about a question, how can we make the imperial doctors become the top doctors in the world. It is not just a matter of Dai Shenyi. This is Matters related to the stability of the world."
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "I understand what you mean. Just look at the emperors of the Eastern Han Dynasty and you will know that as long as they can produce a few emperors with a life span of more than sixty years old, the Eastern Han Dynasty will not be what it is now."
Zhu Yuanzhang said this, but in his heart he thought that not too many emperors in the Ming Dynasty died in their thirties.
This matter is indeed related to the destiny of the country.
The prince secretly thought in his heart: "Although my father is arrogant about Dai Yuanli's reward, it is very simple to redeem it. Why call He Xi over? There must be some calculation here. Could it be that my father has long been dissatisfied with the Imperial Hospital?" Are you doing it? Are you just taking advantage of the fame?"
It's not that the prince could only think of using the topic as an excuse, because he didn't know that without He Xi, Queen Ma would not be able to pass this test today.
Even though Zhu Yuanzhang had made a lot of preparations, it was still extremely dangerous now. Zhu Yuanzhang was relieved, but also a little scared, so he invested more in medical care. This is what Zhu Yuanzhang hopes for deep in his heart. I just used today’s excuse to say it.
The prince had guessed what Zhu Yuanzhang did, but he couldn't figure out the reason.
The prince said: "What my father said is absolutely true. Brother He, what do you think?"
He Xi said: "I thought that two things can be combined into one thing. Your Majesty, I would like to ask why the imperial doctor's ability is not good?"
Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a moment and said, "Maybe it's selfishness."
In Zhu Yuanzhang's view, it was not that the level of many imperial doctors was poor, but that they were tied up when it came to treating the royal family. This is also the reason why Zhu Yuanzhang killed the imperial doctors several times.
But Zhu Yuanzhang forgot one thing. Only those with high skills can be bold. Dai Yuanli dared to take action because Dai Yuanli was confident. Even if there is little certainty. Be confident that there will be no situations that you cannot judge. Even if he can't be saved, he still knows why.
The original imperial doctors of the Ming Dynasty were different. Many times, they just prescribed medicine according to ancient prescriptions, and if his condition changed a little, he would be at a loss. Many times the only option is to gamble. But their bet is completely different from Dai Yuanli's bet. Dai Yuanli's gamble is to have a chance with God. And their bet is on their chances of success in mastering the so-called ancient prescription. It's a bet on luck.
He Xi said: "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. It's just that, Your Majesty, the reason why these imperial doctors are doing evil things is because their skills are not good enough. They naturally take chances and do not dare to take responsibility. Secondly, I am afraid that the imperial doctors are very serious." Cheap. Naturally, he has no sense of responsibility."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "I understand the former, but what does the latter mean? Isn't the imperial court's treatment of imperial doctors not enough?"
He Xi said: "Yes, it is not enough. Your Majesty, can medical officers be compared with civil servants and generals?"
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "How can a mere medical officer compare with a national pillar?"
He Xi said: "Why not? I don't want medical officials to be enemies of the imperial ministers, but the imperial hospital envoy is also a third-rank official? But can he really compare with a third-rank official? I think that if I want all the famous doctors in the world to belong to the imperial hospital, The first thing is respect.”
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Okay. Tell me your plan. Stop talking about this."
Zhu Yuanzhang was still a bit contemptuous towards the doctor. This is not a problem for Zhu Yuanzhang alone, but also a problem for many people in Ming Dynasty. Zhu Yuanzhang actually knew this truth. If you want to use famous doctors, you must respect them. So don't dwell on this point and just let He Xi talk about the following.
He Xi said: "My plan is very simple. Put the two things together. Not only reward Dai Shenyi, but also the Supreme Hospital. Because Dai Shenyi is the envoy of the Imperial Hospital, reward him together. Although the envoy of the Imperial Hospital is third grade, I I think some people have great medical skills, but are not very willing to worry about general affairs. They should be treated with high standards, such as having an official position exceeding that of Imperial Hospital envoy, second rank, or first rank."
"Then how should the imperial envoy take care of it?" the prince asked.
He Xi said: "Why should the envoy of the Imperial Hospital take care of it? Really famous doctors can all treat His Majesty's illnesses. Your Majesty should also treat him with courtesy. Why should the Envoy of the Imperial Hospital take care of it?"
Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "I understand what you mean. I treat you with high standards, but how should the Taiyuan Hospital be changed?"
He Xi said, "If you want the Taiyuan Hospital to have a master of medicine, on the one hand, it is natural to recruit famous doctors in the world, such as Dai Yuanli. He has a famous teacher and has been practicing for many years. There may not be any famous doctor in the world who can surpass Dai Yuanli, but there should be no one." One palm. On the other hand, it is to allow Taiyuan Hospital to cultivate masters."
"I think the biggest problem with the Taiyuan Hospital is that the imperial doctors only treat diseases of high-ranking officials and nobles, but in the world, there are few high-ranking officials and many common people. And treating diseases is also a skill that must be practiced for a long time. . Your Majesty is also a martial arts practitioner, so you naturally know that you can never leave your fists without leaving your hands, and you can never leave your mouth with your music. Now how many patients can the imperial doctors of the Ming Dynasty treat?"
"I believe that the imperial hospital should be reorganized and another hospital should be established, with imperial doctors sitting in charge to diagnose and treat the people of the world. We should treat the people at the lowest cost possible, so that all sick people in the world can be treated."
Zhu Yuanzhang sighed and said, "Can all sick people in the world be cured? Is it really possible?"
He Xi also knew in her heart that even six hundred years later, this might not be possible. He said: "Your Majesty, there are some things that you can only know if you can do them by doing them. If you don't do them, you will never be able to do them."
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Continue."
He Xi said: "I think the current methods of training doctors are too backward. Your Majesty has also set up an institution to train doctors in the Taiyuan Hospital. However, in the past ten years, few good doctors have been trained. There must be something wrong with this. Your Majesty. I thought there must be something wrong with it and something needs to be reformed.”
Zhu Yuanzhang said: "How are you going to change it?"
