However, in addition to a large military academy, there is also an institution that is much smaller than a military academy, which is the medical school under the charge of Sun Simiao. However, compared with a large military academy, the scale of the medical school is much smaller, because it is impossible to compare with the military academy in the hospital.
It is precisely because of this view that a debate broke out between the court and the court on whether to set up a medical school. Moreover, because of the financial issues at that time, most civil and military officials believed that establishing a medical school was a waste of the finances of the Tang Dynasty. With the money for building a medical school, it would be better to use it in the construction of the military.
At that time, Li Yan argued with reason and used the medical soldiers who performed well in the Goguryeo battlefield as the ace to persuade the military general system led by Li Jing, which finally gave the people who supported the establishment of the medical school an extremely weak advantage. Finally, Li Shimin decided to agree to the proposal to establish the medical school.
However, although the suggestion to establish a medical school was approved, there were major differences in the funding issue. According to the plan of Li Yan and Sun Simiao, they were preparing to divide the medical school into two parts, one was the military medical school that trains medical soldiers, and the other was the civil medical school that trains civilian doctors. However, the Ministry of Revenue was only willing to allocate the construction costs of the military medical school. This made Li Yan and Sun Simiao very angry. They personally found the Ministry of Revenue and made trouble several times, and finally even went to Li Shimin. But in the end, it ended with the victory of the Ministry of Revenue.
Finally, Li Yan saw that he really couldn't get any money. He had no choice but to pay for it himself and build the Min Medical College. He also deliberately built the Min Medical College more beautiful and larger in area. It was a provocation to the Tang Dynasty court, but unfortunately no one cared about it.
After Li Yan rushed into the medical school by carriage, Li Yan did not go to find Sun Simiao. Instead, he turned around several teaching buildings with a familiarity. The teaching buildings here are exactly the same as those in the Chemical College. In fact, the architectural styles of the Medical College and the Chemical College are both plagiarized by the Military Academy. They are simple and sturdy, and not high in equivalence. The only disadvantage is that they are ugly, but they are good for teaching.
After walking through these cheap and sturdy teaching buildings, we came to a high wall and passed through a corner door on this high wall. It was like a green ocean. In summer, all kinds of plants grew very lushly, and in the ocean of these plants, small buildings with unique shapes were dotted among them, and this is the Min Medical College.
In order to fight against the Chinese civil and military officials of the Korean Ministry of Revenue, Li Yan built the Civil Medical College very beautifully. Although it was only separated by a wall, the two medical colleges of the military and civilians were like two worlds. The dull and ugly military colleges and the colorful civilian medical colleges formed a sharp contrast.
After entering the Minwen Medical College, Li Yan walked to the teaching building closest to the Jiaomen. Outside the classroom on the first floor, there were more than a dozen strong guards standing. Although these guards were not many, they were divided into two parts. Half of them were guards of Prince Li Yanqi's mansion, and the other half were generals from Cheng Yaojin's mansion. The only ones who could let these two families send escorts to protect each other. Of course, only Cui Mengxue, who was already engaged to Li Yan, was engaged.
When she returned to Chang'an, Cui Mengxue proposed to teach at the Medical College. This was mainly to learn the management methods of the college so that when Li Yan built another medical college for her in the future, she could manage the medical college as soon as possible. After returning to Chang'an, although Li Yan had a lot of things, he did not forget to persuade Mrs. Cheng personally. As for Sun Simiao, the medical college lacked teaching teachers. Sun Simiao was too happy to join Mengxue, so naturally he would not object.
When the guards of the royal palace and Cheng family outside the teaching building saw Li Yan, they immediately bowed and bowed. Li Yan waved his hand and asked them to stand up. Then through the bright glass window, they could see a woman in white standing on the podium, holding a ruler in her hand and pointing something on the blackboard, while constantly explaining to the students.
This small building is Mengxue's special classroom. The students who go to school here are all her personal disciples. It can be said that Mengxue is equivalent to their class teacher. However, because there is a shortage of medical teachers, Mengxue also teaches other classes at the same time. However, generally speaking, Mengxue will be in her own class.
Seeing Mengxue teaching, Li Yan did not disturb her from the visit, but stood outside the window and looked at the students who were studying hard. The students in Mengxue's class were a bit special. Perhaps because Mengxue was a woman, Sun Simiao specially arranged some young students, most of whom were between ten and fourteen years old, and among these students, there were actually a few worn-out little girls.
When Li Yan first met these female students, he was quite surprised. Although the Tang Dynasty did not have the same defenses as men and women in the Ming and Qing dynasties, he actually had a lot of constraints on women. When he went out on the streets, women usually covered their faces. Only during the Chinese New Year festival will women let go of their usual reserve and become bold. It is precisely because of knowing this that Li Yan was surprised that these girls were sitting in the same classroom with the boys to study.
Later, Li Yan asked Meng Xue and found out that these worn-out girls were all girls from poor families she helped when she practiced medicine. And these girls all have one thing in common, that is, almost all the elders in the family died of illness. After all, although Meng Xue’s medical skills are good, the so-called medicine will not kill people. Some terminal illnesses, such as Yang Ming, such as the kind of disease that even Sun Simiao could not treat, let alone her. Therefore, although these girls’ elders who got sick at home had been treated by Meng Xue’s multiple treatments, they still left in the end.
There were no elders at home, and these girls were from poor families, otherwise they would not have looked for Mengxue for treatment. So after the elders passed away, they were all lonely and helpless. When Mengxue was in the clinic, she often helped them. Now she went to the medical school to teach, so she brought them in and learned some medical skills. She would not consider how great she can achieve. The key is to let them have a skill in the future and they will not go hungry anyway.
However, although Meng Xue had good intentions, she had a lot of objections to the teachers in the college in order to let these girls enter the medical school. After all, in the opinion of Tangren, it is really not a good idea to let men and women live in the same room to learn medical skills. However, Meng Xue was not willing to be outdone and suggested that she was also a woman. Since she could teach on the podium, why could there be no women below to listen to the class?
Meng Xue has a very good reason. In addition, her special identity is so no one dares to argue with her, so she had to acquiesce to this matter in the entire medical school. So in the whole medical school, she is the only class where girls listen to the class.
After finally waiting for Meng Xue to finish her class, she immediately saw Li Yan standing outside the door as soon as she left the classroom. Although this was not the first time Li Yan came to see her, she always felt a little embarrassed, and her face turned slightly red. She walked to Li Yan and asked softly, "Your Highness, why are you here again?"
Mengxue's words meant to blame him, but Li Yan didn't mind at all. He smiled and said, "Mengxue, there is something big about me here this time, which is related to the direction of your medical skills. Originally, this matter should have been discussed directly with Doctor Sun, but because you will also run a college in the future, I think you need to listen to it."
Meng Xue looked surprised when she heard this. She knew that although Li Yan didn't understand any real medical skills, she knew some strange medical knowledge. Even Dean Sun was amazed. Especially when she was in Keelung, Taiwan Island last time, Li Yan used stinky artemisia to cure malaria, which made her convinced her. So since the other party said that it was related to the development of medical skills, she naturally had no doubts.
He hurriedly found Sun Simiao's office. Because the environment at the Minwen College is excellent, Sun Simiao's office is also here. But what surprised Li Yan was that today Sun Simiao was not in his office, but went to the military medical college next to him.
Upon hearing this news, Li Yan and Meng Xue had to go to the Military Medical College again. After asking several people, they found out that Sun Simiao was actually in the model room. The so-called model room, as the name suggests, is a classroom for teaching models, because most of the treatments of trauma, such as bone-collision and tendon correction, as well as new medical methods such as wound suture and disinfection on the battlefield. These require a very good understanding of the structure of various parts of the human body, so that there will be no problems when dealing with it.
If you want to understand the structure of the human body, it would be very simple if you put it in later generations. You only need to dissect the corpse by the court. However, this obviously doesn't work in the Tang Dynasty. The traditional culture of the Central Plains emphasizes that death is the most important thing, and corpses are absolutely not allowed. As for dissecting the corpse like killing a pig, it is even more unsupported by the world. Therefore, as a doctor, there is only one way to understand the structure of the human body, that is, go to the battlefield, and under the knife and arrow, any body may be injured. After being injured, as a doctor, you can just cut the skin of the injured person and slowly observe the structure inside. As for the injured person's pain, you can only be sorry and have to endure it in order to survive.
Of course, Chang'an does not have the same conditions on the battlefield. In order to solve this problem, Sun Simiao had to ask the medical soldiers trained by Li Yan to help. According to their explanation, the human body structure was made into a wood or mud model and placed it in the model room for explanation. However, this method has great disadvantages, that is, the model made is quite different from the actual situation, and may allow students to learn wrong knowledge. However, in the current view, this is the best way to think of.
When Li Yan saw the strange-shaped human models in the model room through the window, he immediately frowned. Although he was not a medical student, he had been to the hospital many times and had seen some human anatomical pictures hanging in the hospital. Those drawings alone were more accurate than these models.
"It seems that my idea must be implemented as soon as possible, otherwise I don't know how many people will die unjustly at the hands of these future military doctors?" Li Yan said with a resolute look on his face.
