quiet!
Extremely quiet!
Not only the famous doctors were shocked by the emperor's words, but also the five cabinet members and the accompanying imperial guards were shocked.
At this moment, Chongzhen's back was infinitely higher and magnified in everyone's eyes.
Everyone has one thought: If you follow such a wise king, you will be able to smile even if you die from exhaustion in this life.
In the quiet scene, Chongzhen felt a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, Zhang Jingyue came to his senses and said softly: "Your Majesty, can we realize this dream?"
"have no idea!"
Chongzhen shook his head: "This road must be full of thorns and difficulties, and maybe there is no solution at all.
But I believe that as long as we move forward, our efforts will not be in vain.
You may not see results within one or three years, but what about ten or twenty years from now? There are always some famous doctors and achievements.
By passing this fire from generation to generation, medical knowledge will definitely get better and better as time goes by.
Although it may not be possible to completely solve the shortcomings of treating the onset of illness and treating the disease for the common people, doing it is better than not doing it. "
"I am willing to join!"
Listening to the emperor's response, Zhang Jingyue agreed without any hesitation.
If the emperor responded that it could be accomplished, he would not join even if he died.
Regarding Zhang Jingyue's decision, Chongzhen was overjoyed. Everything is difficult at the beginning, but as long as it gets started, it will be easy.
Looking at the hesitant people, Chongzhen sighed in his heart. When he was about to speak, Yuan Keli behind him spoke up.
"Your Majesty, may I allow you to say a few words?"
"allow!"
After receiving the emperor's permission, Yuan Keli glanced at everyone: "I would like to say a few words, please think about it.
Let’s go back to the question just now. As famous doctors, why are all your apprentices little-known?
I am also well versed in medical theory. Let me summarize a few aspects. First of all, learning medicine requires a certain cultural background. This alone will screen out 90% of the people;
Secondly, it takes a long time to learn medicine, and it is difficult to make a lot of money after becoming a doctor. Although he is respected by others, the people are not willing to do it. If he kills someone, he will be sued.
Thirdly, what is needed to learn medicine is to have an understanding of words and be able to draw inferences from one instance to another. Otherwise, you will just be a person who can memorize dead books. This is the most important thing. "
After hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.
"But what if the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine can solve these problems?"
Without waiting for the famous doctors to speak out, Yuan Keli continued: "As for the problem of apprentices, we can select talented children from all over the Ming Dynasty to enter the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine from the childhood training period.
Or entrusting private schools and county schools to teach cultural courses,
When you are older, for example, when you are ten years old, then you can enter the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine and follow your disciples to study medicine. Once you have reached a certain level, you can then learn from you.
Students selected from all over the country, even if you choose one out of ten in the end, the huge base is still better than finding a few apprentices yourself!
You must know that if there were not the most basic cultural restrictions that blocked the path of many talented young people, I believe that the 200 million people of our Ming Dynasty would definitely produce some talented and evil people. "
"Secondly, there is the issue of making money. As long as they are selected to enter the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, they will receive a salary. After they graduate from the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the court will still provide subsidies to ensure their income."
After Yuan Keli finished speaking, he stopped talking, but it could be seen that everyone was really moved.
Although they are famous doctors, they are used to seeing life and death, and they also look down on fame and wealth, but they only regret that their medical skills have not been passed down.
The main reason is that he can't find any good talents. Although his own disciples are good, they definitely can't surpass him.
Now that the Research Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine can solve these problems, they are really excited.
"Your Majesty, I also have some ideas!"
Sun Chengzong also spoke up. After receiving Chongzhen's permission, Sun Chengzong continued: "What if all Chinese medicine practitioners in the future must pass the assessment of the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine and obtain a medical practice document issued by the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine before they can practice medicine?
If you don’t have medical documents, you’ll be arrested immediately! And it’s also the governing body for herbal medicine! "
I go……
Everyone was shocked again, even Chongzhen was surprised.
Starting from the Zhou Dynasty, all dynasties have had a medical management system.
By the time of the Ming Dynasty, the household registration management system was even stricter, and the common people were divided into civilian, military, medical, Confucian, Zao, monk, Taoist, craftsman, etc. records.
The medical family is inherited from generation to generation and no arbitrary changes are allowed.
Even if there is a system, there are still many quacks, charlatans, etc.
If the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine is an assessment institution, it will definitely reduce the number of quack doctors, and thus reduce the number of deaths among people due to treatment by quack doctors.
"Your Majesty, I also have an idea!"
Han Huang also spoke up: "Your Majesty, the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine can open branches in various provinces and states in the future. The branches have two functions. One branch is to teach students in the province;
The other part is to treat people in prefectures and counties. This will not only give apprentices a lot of opportunities to get started, but also improve the effect of medical treatment and control the quality of medicinal materials.
The doctor in charge of the branch is a student who graduated from the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
We can classify doctors according to their medical skills, from high to low into medical officers, physicians, physicians, doctors, and assistant doctors.
The medical officers are in the main hospital in Beijing, the doctors are in the provincial branches, the doctors are in Zhoufu, and the doctors and assistant doctors are in the county. They are not fixed, but there must be corresponding ones at each level.
Of course, although the imperial court opened branch hospitals, it did not prohibit private medical families from opening medical clinics. People could choose where to go for medical treatment. "
PS: The Ming Dynasty had a hierarchical classification of doctors.
Chongzhen was once again surprised that this was such a proper model of a later-generation hospital.
It seems that the establishment of the four institutes of industry, agriculture, firearms, and martial arts hall has opened up the shackles of people's thinking.
But he was also reminded that if a branch hospital is opened in the future, there must be no chain of contempt like that of later generations, otherwise it will really be difficult to treat patients.
It was fine if the cabinet members didn't say anything. After saying this, all the famous doctors were shocked and a little moved.
Looking at the people who were about to move, Chongzhen smiled secretly. He decided to light the last fire to stimulate the people again.
"After the establishment of the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine, the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine can make a copy of the medical books in the Taiyuan Hospital, the Imperial Pharmacy, and the Royal Library as the collection of the Institute of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
I can tell you responsibly that there is a complete copy of "Secrets of the Waitai" in the royal library, a half-complete copy of "The Side Chapter", etc. "
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes suddenly lit up.
Especially Chen Shigong from the Department of Surgery became short of breath.
"Waitai Mi Yao" is a comprehensive medical book covering several medical disciplines and more than 6,000 prescriptions. Only a little more than half of it has been circulated among the people.
If they can study such a masterpiece, it will definitely be of great help to the improvement of medical skills.
"Your Majesty, I am willing to join!"
"Your Majesty, I am also willing to join!"
…
At this moment, everyone was no longer reserved and spoke out one after another to express their thoughts.
