On the twenty-third day of the first lunar month of the tenth year of Wanli, look up to the court. Zhang Juzheng, the Prime Minister of the Cabinet, was unable to see clearly due to illness, and four doctors were sent to treat the illness.

The imperial doctor who treated the patient came back to report that the old man was still suffering from hemorrhoids. Zhang Juzheng became ill due to his heavy government affairs and long-term sitting, which persisted for many years. Zhu Yijun had known this for a long time.

In the past few years, out of consideration for the stability of state affairs and to win over people's hearts, Zhu Yijun sent health doctors to all his close ministers to take care of their diet and rest. With the rapid development of toxicology in recent years, the use of Zhang Juzheng's drugs for treating hemorrhoids has been banned by health care doctors.

People at that time said, "When treating internal hemorrhoids, first use tonic medicine to cleanse the internal organs, and then apply 'Kusang Powder' into the anus three times a day in the morning, afternoon and evening. In mild cases, it will dry up and fall off in 11 days."

What is Kushuangsan? "Ku Hemorrhoids Powder is made with alumen, toad venom powder and arsenic. Add Tongzi Tianling Gai, and the Ku Hemorrhoids prescription is extremely effective."

Except for the 'Tongzi Tianling Gai', which has a metaphysical flavor, all the others are poisonous, and arsenic is still highly poisonous. Therefore, "Ku Hemorrhoids Powder" has long been declared to the world, and it must be used in controlled doses and not commonly used - Zhang Juzheng in the original time and space may have died from this drug.

If Ku Hemo Powder cannot be used, Zhang Juzheng will suffer. A turning point came in the eighth year of Wanli. Ma Jintang, a doctor in Dingzhou, developed an eye medicine called Babaosan at home, which was mainly used to treat eye diseases such as scabies and keratitis.

Since Ma Jintang's family situation is relatively good, he studies Chinese medicine out of interest and has little interest in making money. He often delivers medicine to nearby villagers, and all he asks is for the people who use it to report the curative effects to him.

Of course free stuff can be used indiscriminately. The local poor farmers used it for mosquito bites and scabies. Finally, some people who were suffering from hemorrhoids used it on chrysanthemums, and a miracle happened.

At this time, when Zhang Juzheng was in power, the miraculous Babao Powder was immediately presented to him by someone who was interested, and Zhang Juzheng agreed to use it. Dingzhou Ma Jintang also came into the court's sight and was summoned to the capital to develop the famous "Ma's Eye Ointment" in later generations.

Although Ma Jintang does not point to this thing to make money, the Neifu Industrial and Commercial Headquarters has a need to make money. In the end, the two parties reached an agreement, and the Ma family invested in the technology with technology. The pharmaceutical factory affiliated to the General Industry and Commerce Corporation mass-produced Chinese patent medicines for sale across the country, and soon became popular all over the world.

By the end of the ninth year of Wanli, this ointment had ranked behind Fengyoujing, Pudilan Powder, Suxiao Jiuxin Pills, Liuwei Dihuang Pills, and Shenbao Pills. It had become the flagship product of Neifu Industrial and Commercial Headquarters, and Lao Ma's family was also one of the well-off families. Became extremely wealthy.

In order to expand sales, of course advertising must be carried out in major newspapers in both Beijing and Beijing. Zhu Yijun has also seen the advertisement: above it is an oval-shaped, dark human silhouette print - no facial features can be seen. The advertisement at the bottom is very tough: "Dingzhou Ma Jintang, the king of eight treasures immortal ointment; the cool breeze can heal the eyes, and the moon will be bright every day."

Starting on the right side, there are four large characters written vertically "Official approval to file the case". We would like to inform all users that this ointment has been registered with the Department of Health under the Ministry of Civil Affairs and is not a wild remedy. What's funny is that under the four words "Guan Zhen Filing" there are four small words that you can't see unless you look carefully: Hemorrhoids treatment is miraculous.

There was no way, Lao Ma's family would not let their name be associated with hemorrhoids. The advertising manager was also helpless, so he had to take a careless look and think that the sensitive words were a typographical error.

Zhang Juzheng relied on it to successfully survive the ninth year of Wanli. However, during the New Year vacation, Mr. Zhang relaxed too much and the disease broke out again. This time the medicine was ineffective. It was difficult for Zhang Juzheng to sit, lie down, and walk, so he had to ask for leave.

Although Zhu Yijun in this time and space used his imperial power to share part of the resistance and pressure of the reform for Zhang Juzheng, the content of the reforms implemented by Zhu Yijun was more than ten times greater than the "one whip method" played by Zhang Juzheng in the original time and space. Zhang Juzheng had worked hard in the past two years, but this hemorrhoid attack was still caused by overwork. Fortunately, he stopped taking Kuzhi Powder early and his body did not suffer too much harm, otherwise his end would have arrived long ago.

This time, the illness came violently, and eye ointment could only relieve it. Zhang Juzheng was in unbearable pain, and he could not eat or sleep at all. His body, which had not much flesh in the first place, quickly became erect.

In desperation, Zhu Yijun had no choice but to invite Li Shizhen, dean of the medical school, and Chen Shigong, deputy dean and director of surgery, and asked them to report on the plan for Zhang Juzheng's surgery.

At this time, Wan Mi Zhai had already retired and returned to his hometown. Li Shizhen, who organized the development of smallpox vaccine powder in the seventh year of Wanli and successfully mass-produced it on a large scale, became the dean of the medical school in the eighth year of Wanli as expected.

Zhu Yijun chose Li Shizhen as the dean, partly because his prestige gradually became more and more popular during the promotion of smallpox vaccine. The more important purpose was to clarify the scientific orientation - there is a difference between a doctor for one person and a doctor for ten thousand people.

Because Chen Shigong healed the emperor's broken leg, his merits were barely comparable to those of his rescuer, and he has been favored by the Holy Family for many years. At this time, he received the emperor's mission and echoed: "The surgical operation in the medical school has reduced the infection rate to less than one thousandth. Hemorrhoid surgery is not very complicated. We have performed more than 3,000 cases in the past two years. , less than ten are infected.”

Zhu Yijun heard him say that the medical school had performed 3,000 hemorrhoid surgeries alone, and was surprised: "Are there so many people in the capital suffering from this disease?"

Chen Shigong smiled and said: "Back to Your Majesty. The so-called 'Ten men with nine hemorrhoids' is a common disease, but not so many people need surgery. Because the medical school developed this surgery, many officials and family members of the imperial court traveled thousands of miles to seek help. There are also doctors.”

Zhu Yijun sighed after hearing this: "The medical school still needs to expand its enrollment and scale. With only one school in each of the two capitals, how many years will it take to train qualified doctors? If we want everyone in the world to be able to get medical treatment, we still have to do too much. too much."

Ministers such as Wang Guoguang and Pan Sheng who accompanied the emperor all praised him: "The emperor regards the four seas as his home and all the people as his son. He is benevolent and does everything in his power. I am deeply impressed by him."

Zhu Yijun was helpless. He thought that if these guys continued to flatter him like this and didn't use their brains, they would make a big mistake.

After listening to Chen Shigong's confident words, Zhu Yijun asked him to set up a medical team to prepare for Zhang Juzheng's surgery.

With Zhang Juzheng's political status at this time, it was really lower than one person and higher than ten thousand people. Of course, the medical school would not dare to neglect him.

Famous doctors such as Li Shizhen and Chen Shigong have truly achieved mutual learning through teaching and learning after using new scientific methods to organize knowledge and study problems in the medical school over the years. Zhu Yijun does not understand medicine. What he can teach is how to research problems, verify conclusions, prepare papers, and finally structure a knowledge system.

What Li Shizhen and others lack is a systematic classification method of knowledge. After listening to the emperor's teachings, they felt as if they were confused. The medical school's surgical capabilities have grown from scratch and developed rapidly.

The prerequisite for surgery is anesthesia. After Li Shizhen obtained a large amount of experimental resources, his mastery of anesthesia has long been unparalleled in the world. Experiments have proven that more than 30 medicinal materials, including datura, aconite, marijuana, opium, and hemp, have varying degrees of anesthetic effects. After having a large number of experimental subjects, in the fourth year of Wanli, while studying smallpox virus, Li Shizhen had already obtained safe "Mafei powder" for different age groups.

Li Shizhen's research and development of Mafei Powder and the popularization of disinfection knowledge made surgical operations possible. After pathology and other disciplines also advanced together, people in the capital of the Ming Dynasty rarely died of the terminal disease "intestinal carbuncle" in the past - that is, appendicitis.

As the most common operation performed in medical schools, the invention of intestinal carbuncle surgery is like a lightning flash across the long night of human medical history. The smallpox vaccine successfully developed by Wanli in seven years has pushed the reputation of the medical school to an incredible level. As a result, the officials and people of the capital not only respected medicine from the bottom of their hearts, but even the divine and holy Zhu Yijun, as the emperor, was also smeared with a layer of gold powder.

Under Zhu Yijun's influence and due to the need of surgery, all teachers and students of the medical school wore special white robes. On the streets of the capital, if any medical student goes out without changing his clothes, he will definitely be surrounded by enthusiastic people who will either give him something or ask questions.

The most exaggerated time was when a student was careless and went shopping in uniform without spending a penny. A butcher who had performed intestinal abscess surgery had a pig hind leg hung around his neck. If he dares not to take it, the butcher has said that he will be given a white knife to go in on the spot. The guy was so frightened that he carried the pig leg back to school under the enthusiastic knife-wielding escort of Butcher. It became a joke in the whole school - everyone laughed, but a sense of pride and mission arose spontaneously. .

This atmosphere allowed medical school and modern medicine to develop rapidly in Ming Dynasty. Good medical ethics and basic medical education are also rapidly spreading. Under Li Shizhen's strict requirements, the medical school proposed a complete code of medical ethics for the first time in history, namely, "the bounden duty to save lives and heal the wounded, the ethics of being cautious and keeping secrets, and the compassion of treating everyone equally."

The induction and promotion of these three norms have accelerated the pace of medical development. It should be said that under Zhu Yijun's extreme attention, the development of medicine in the Ming Dynasty was at least a hundred years ahead of the world - European doctors are still in the stage of using bloodletting to cure all diseases.

Zhang Juzheng, as Zhu Yijun's assistant and one of the main promoters of the reform, also directly enjoyed the results of the reform - he was admitted to the hospital on the 30th of the first lunar month, had a knife in his butthole the next day, and was discharged from the hospital on February 15th, feeling relaxed.
