As soon as Xu Chunfu finished speaking, everyone was shocked and wondered what he meant. King Lu didn't even give the imperial doctor face, let alone just a doctor in the imperial hospital.
Taiyuan Hospital is divided into medical officers and medical students. Medical students take a major exam every year. Those with excellent scores are promoted to medical doctors. Those with unsatisfactory scores can be re-examined for two years. If they still fail to pass the exam after two years, they will be sent back to their place of origin and the recommender will be punished.
Except for those who inherited their father's career, medical students from the Tai Hospital were all recommended by various localities to come to Beijing for examination. Zhang Jiebin was not qualified to be recommended. Of course, if Jin Ying was willing to come forward as a guarantor, he could ask Wanping County Magistrate to recommend him on his behalf. That was a different matter.
But now from what Xu Chunfu said, it is obvious that he is not going to take the recommendation route.
"I want to submit a letter requesting that Shuntian Prefecture conduct a public examination to select doctors. I want everyone to know, and I want to make King Lu not dare to risk the disapproval of the world." Xu Chunfu said excitedly.
As he spoke, Jin Ying also became excited: "Okay, okay, I will also take the lead and call on all the doctors in the capital to jointly submit a petition to select doctors. It does not need to be limited to Shuntian Prefecture, as long as those who can arrive within the specified time are allowed to be selected.
”
"Yes, this is a wonderful statement. I will ask Mr. Tan to come forward and use the Ministry of War's post to spread the news all over the country. As for the remote areas, forget it." Xu Chunfu said with a smile.
"When will the time be?" Zhang Shoufeng asked now. He didn't want to wait too long and be on tenterhooks all day long.
"Well, the time should not be too long or too little. At least enough time should be allowed for them to go north to spread the news to the south of the Yangtze River..." At this point, Xu Chunfu stopped.
"It's easy to spread the news, but it takes less than two months to come from Jiangnan." Zhang Shoufeng frowned, two months is really too long.
"Ru Yuan, why don't we take the exam in the northern prefectures and counties? Jiangnan medicine is already developed, and most of the medical officers are from there, so the medical students should be selected from the north!" Jin Ying suggested.
Xu Chunfu nodded and agreed. Today is different from the past. The north is no longer the national medical center as it was when the four great families lived in the Jin and Yuan Dynasties. Today's medical center is in Jiangnan.
He did what he thought of. Before Xu Chunfu had time to rest, he hurried to Taiyuan Hospital. He called Gong Yanxian, Yang Jishi, Liu Yude, Tu Shen and others, and once again rushed to the nearby Rites Office to meet with Ma Ziqiang, the Minister of Rites, who was about to face the North Mansion.
Notification of county examination and selection of doctors.
"For three hundred years, northern medicine has stagnated, and it no longer has the same foundation as in the Jin and Yuan Dynasties. How many northern doctors are there in the Taiyuan Hospital today?" Xu Chunfu said bluntly.
"The examination and selection of doctors will help cultivate young doctors in the north. It is a contribution to the present and will benefit a century." Gong Tingxian added.
"I am a third-generation imperial physician of the Yang family, and I also grew up in the Imperial Hospital. The Imperial Hospital is the holy place for doctors in the world, and its effect far exceeds that of inheritance from master to family. We should cultivate more seeds of famous doctors for the north."
Yang Jishi even spoke out from his own experience, saying that their ancestors and grandchildren had been imperial doctors for three generations and had a deep understanding of the education provided by the imperial hospital.
This time, Ma Ziqiang, the Minister of Rites, did not hesitate and nodded directly to agree. He is from Tongzhou, Shaanxi, and he knows the scarcity of famous doctors in the north.
Xu Chunfu continued: "The Taiyuan Hospital has not trained doctors on a large scale. The selection scope should not be too large, and the number of people should not be too large. It is better to try it out in Gyeonggi, Shandong, Shanxi, and Henan. Then we will find out the effect and then go to the hospital after experience.
Expanded to the north, and even to the entire Erjing and Thirteen Chief Envoys."
After hearing this, Ma Ziqiang, the Minister of Rites, pondered for a moment and finally agreed. He originally wanted to include his hometown Shaanxi in the trial. But then he thought about it. In a short period of time, the selection was mixed, and it would not be of any benefit to the medical progress of Shaanxi. On the contrary,
Disgrace him.
It would be better to use these places as a trial first, and also make arrangements to select young talents to participate in next year's examination. What Ma Ziqiang did not expect was that what Xu Chunfu and the others wanted was not the annual tribute from the Imperial College, but the imperial examination.<
/p>
With the approval of the Ministry of Rites, Xu Chunfu went to the nearby Ministry of War to find Tan Lun.
"Cough...cough...Ru Yuan is here...cough...cough...cough...what's the matter...cough?" Tan Lun kept coughing and spoke intermittently.
Yang Jishi and Gong Tingxian stepped forward almost at the same time. They grabbed Tan Lun's hands from left to right and felt his pulse, then switched to check the tongue coating. Yang Jishi even gave him acupuncture to relieve his cough.
Xu Chunfu frowned and said angrily: "Mr. Tan, if you keep tossing like this, even the gods can't save you."
Tan Lun didn't care, and asked with a smile. "How are you, two imperial doctors, can my illness be cured?"
Yang Jishi had just finished acupuncture on Tan Lun and said angrily: "You have already suffered three strokes. If you don't recuperate, it will be useless even if Zhang Zhongjing comes."
Tan Lun suffered multiple strokes in the past two years, but he was rescued by Xu Chunfu, Gong Yanxian, and Yang Jishi. However, the court refused to let him go. He worked hard all day and was almost exhausted.
Gong Tingxian also shook his head and took up a pen to write: "Although the wind evil has been driven away, the remaining evil has not been cleared away and the body is still a little numb. Let's take a few more doses of medicine!"
Tan Lun smiled and said: "Okay, I will listen to the imperial doctor."
Xu Chunfu accused: "If you really listen to us, just rest for a while. Don't you see how weak you are. How can you still look like a general? There are so many things in the Ministry of War, when did you sleep before the third watch?
Ah, this is not a way to maintain health!"
Tan Lun lowered his head and said softly: "The matter of the Ministry of War is urgent and important. It cannot be delayed or sloppy. I have to be cautious, spend more time, think more about the pros and cons, and I can always make fewer mistakes."

When everyone heard this, they didn't know what to say. The problem was not with Tan Lun, but with the imperial court placing this heavy burden on his shoulders and refusing to let him go.
Gong Tingxian wrote the recipe and showed it to Xu Chunfu first. Xu Chunfu nodded after reading it and handed it to Yang Jishi, who read it before handing it to Tan Lun.
Tan Lun took it and looked at it again and again, nodding his head and praising: "That's right, that's right. You are the only talented calligrapher. There are not many people in the world who can match it. Your calligraphy skills are not inferior to those of the world's famous calligraphers."
."
Gong Tingxian couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this. The prescription prescribed by a doctor was rated as good! Why does this feel a bit ironic?
Tan Lun was still making comments. He was born in Fuzhou and was no stranger to medicine. Although his skills were not high, he still knew the prescriptions. He still trusted this fellow doctor. What's more, he was Gong Xin's son, so he naturally praised him.
"If you ask me, we are the only people who come out of Fuzhou who can be so outstanding and versatile."
Gong Tingxian blushed a little when he heard this. He had just lost to Yang Jishi, and now in front of them, how could he stand it?
