"The imperial court implements the New Deal, the world is at peace, and all people serve the country, and everyone should be treated equally..."

"Now that there is no school specifically for women in the world, Jinling is the southern capital and the southern Zhili. We should try to open a medical clinic to train female doctors, which will be the first of its kind in the world..."

Wang Wenyan did not dare to neglect after receiving the reply, and immediately asked the Wu County Magistrate to handle the matter: "County Magistrate Cui."

"I'm here," Wu County Magistrate Cui Wenli hurriedly stepped forward.

Wang Wenyan smiled and said: "I will report the results of this province's cleanup to the imperial court. The imperial court is very satisfied with the province's actions."

"Especially in your Wu County, there is Dong Lian'er who lives in Goulan but has the righteousness of his family and country at heart, and Li Qianqian, a benevolent doctor. After Yuan Fu found out about it, he felt that he could be a role model."

Cui Wenli understood that the governor specially recruited him for this matter. Yuan Fu valued Wu County, which was a good thing!

Cui Wenli immediately said: "Please tell me from the Governor how the subordinates should behave."

Wang Wenyan said: "Yuan Fu wants to open a medical clinic to train female doctors in the south of the Yangtze River. The governor plans to place this location in Wu County. Do you understand?"

Cui Wenli's eyes lit up: "Thank you very much, Lord Governor. I will handle this matter as soon as I get back!"

Wang Wenyan nodded: "You have to report the required money to the account. This is the intention of the court, and Wu County will not let you bear it alone."

Cui Wenli said: "Your Majesty Governor, Wu County has raided the hook-and-rail facility, and the remaining property is used to develop people's livelihood. Now we are hosting a medical clinic. There is no need for the province to pay for it. Wu County can afford it."

Wang Wenyan said no more, but nodded with satisfaction.

On the way back to Wuxian County, Cui Wenli knew the importance of this matter. It was Yuanfu's request, and the Governor directly approached him. Obviously because Li Qianqian and Dong Lian'er were in Wuxian County, who owned this medical clinic?

It’s self-explanatory when you start it.

After returning to Wuxian County, Cui Wenli personally approached Miss Li and asked her to open a medical clinic dedicated to teaching female doctors.

After trying to figure out the thoughts of the big shots above, Cui Wenli said: "Miss Li is unaware of something. The imperial court knows that there is a female Bodhisattva like you in Wu County with a benevolent heart and holy hands. Yuan Fu appreciates you very much."

"Now the imperial court is planning to open a medical clinic in Wu County to train female doctors. This is a great honor. After much thought in this county, you are the only one suitable to be the director of this medical clinic, Miss Li."

"Ms. Li, please rest assured that the money needed to open a medical clinic has been provided by the county."

Hearing what her county magistrate said, Li Qianqian was still a little hesitant: "The imperial court loves you so much, but the women of the people are so frightened."

"If there is an order from the imperial court, the women of the people will never refuse to do what they can do; but to open a medical clinic and teach female doctors, please forgive the women of the people for speaking out; the medical skills of the people's women are inherited from family, not passed down by famous doctors, and there is nothing worthy of praise;

What's more, the women of the people have no experience in teaching students. If the important affairs of the court are ruined, the women of the people will be blamed for their death."

Cui Wenli said quickly: "Miss Li, don't refuse yet, listen to me."

"Although Miss has no experience in teaching students, doesn't Dong Lian'er learn well here? Dong Lian'er has just learned medical science and can be taught by Miss, which is enough to show that Miss has this ability."

Li Qianqian explained: "That's because Lian'er is smart, and it has little to do with the education of civilian girls."

Cui Wenli smiled and said: "Let me tell you, Miss, the reason why the imperial court intends to open this medical clinic is entirely because of the good examples of you and Dong Lian'er, Miss."

"What the Governor means is that he is very optimistic about your benevolent deeds. The Li family's medical skills must be carried forward. Now the court has this intention, and the Governor also supports it. Miss, you can open a medical clinic to teach women medical science.

It also gives women all over the world a way out, not a guarantee."

"With the support of the imperial court, the medical skills of the Li family can be carried forward. Not to mention, it is not a bad idea to enter the Imperial Hospital again. By then, Miss Li, won't you also be able to honor the lintel of the Li family?"

"Furthermore, this woman has learned medicine and will take care of sick and pregnant women in the future, so she will have less worries. This is a great good thing."

"This is the court's good intention."

After listening to Cui Wenli's persuasion, Li Qianqian was silent for a moment and said: "What the county magistrate said is reasonable. If a girl refuses again, she will be disrespectful of etiquette. But if family medicine is easily passed on to others, then the girl will be unfilial.

The county magistrate might as well ask the daughter of the people to discuss this with my father."

Cui Wenli smiled and said: "This is natural. Miss Li, think about it carefully. This county also needs to talk to Dong Lian'er."

After finding Dong Lian'er who was treating a female worker in a textile factory, Cui Wenli told her what he wanted, and Dong Lian'er agreed without hesitation: "Since it is the intention of the imperial court, civilian women will never refuse."

Cui Wenli repeatedly cheered: "Okay, okay, Miss Dong really cares about the imperial court. I will ask Miss Dong to be a lobbyist for the opening of a medical clinic."

After returning to the county government, Cui Wenli was also thinking about why the imperial court wanted to open a medical clinic specifically to train female doctors at this time. Is there any purpose in this?

Or is there a shortage of good doctors in the palace?

In fact, the magistrate of Wu County's guess was not bad. There is really a shortage of female doctors with good medical skills in the palace. They are all male doctors who treat the people in the palace. The men are okay, such as the queen, etc., so we have to consider the dignity and inferiority.

There is no difference between men and women.

If there were more female doctors in the palace, things would be much easier to handle.

And this incident is not just that, it is also Zhang Haogu's way of laying the foundation for men and women in the Ming Dynasty to enter school together, work together, and even get equal pay for equal work in the future, so that people all over the world can be prepared.

After Li Qianqian told her father about this matter, his father was also very supportive: "Qian'er, it's a great honor for our Li family that the court likes us. What's more, the court specially entrusted this matter to you.

, that’s because we value the Li family, and this is an opportunity for the Li family.”

"What's more, if publicity spreads in the future, my Li family's medical skills will be famous all over the world, and you and your daughter will be worthy of our ancestors. Although this medical skill is passed down from ancestors, medical skills are used to treat diseases and save people, and they are not cherished. If the imperial court really

If you plan to use my Li family's medical skills as the foundation to carry forward the new school and save the world, then your merits will be immeasurable."

Dong Lian'er also came to persuade at this time: "Sister, isn't it just for the women of the world to open a medical clinic specifically to train female doctors? Since the imperial court now wants to improve the status of women like us, we naturally have to prove that we are not inferior to men.

Now this is an opportunity to prove that this is not only a good thing for my sister, but also a good thing for women in the world. I should help my sister to open this medical clinic."

Listening to the words of her father and Dong Lian'er, Li Qianqian made up her mind to open a medical clinic for women in the world and teach female doctors that no matter how difficult the road ahead was, she would go on!

With the support of the Wuxian County Government, the first medical clinic in the Ming Dynasty that specialized in training female doctors was born.

After the medical clinic was opened, it quickly recruited a large number of students in Suzhou Prefecture, mostly girls from common people and prostitutes who wanted to have skills after being freed from the land of Goulan.

And this is actually Zhang Haogu's original intention, mainly to give these civilians or girls from families with difficulties a good way out. The number of these medical clinics will definitely increase in the future, and they will eventually be ordered by the imperial court.

Unified standards have been established in various provinces and counties, and many doctors and nurses will be needed at that time, and these girls who are still thinking about the future in Wuxian County are the cornerstone of the standardization of Daming Medical Institute.

The name Dong Lian'er was also remembered in Zhang Haogu's heart. Even though she was in Goulan, she still cared about the world. Such a strange woman was not a special case.

I still remember that in the late Ming Dynasty, those so-called prostitutes in the Ming Dynasty were thousands of times better than some people!

The Ming Dynasty raised scholars for three hundred years, but it only raised a group of white-eyed wolves, not a group of women who were strong-willed and understood the honor and disgrace of their family and country.

Therefore, Zhang Haogu has a good impression of such a woman. She is humble and cares about the country, and she takes real actions. Some people who talk about the justice of their family and country, but are obsessed with extorting bribes and digging for the foundation of the Ming Dynasty,

If you compare with one of them, you might as well hang yourself!

"Taichong, Ningren, take a look at this booklet." Zhang Haogu handed Wang Wenyan's booklet to Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu.

After seeing it, the two of them were filled with admiration: "She knows righteousness and is neither humble nor arrogant. She is truly a wonderful woman."

"You two need to remember this name and remember it carefully. A woman like this will never stop at one medical clinic." Zhang Haogu said.

Seeing that Zhang Haogu valued Dong Lian'er so much, Huang Zongxi couldn't help but ask, "Yuan Fu, do you have greater expectations for this girl?"

Zhang Haogu sighed with emotion: "General Qin is already fifty-six, what happens when General Qin gets old?"

"The Ming Dynasty needs new female generals."

"I am just optimistic about her. If she has this intention, I am willing to give her a chance to see if she can become Liang Hongyu of the Ming Dynasty."

"Okay, let's put this matter aside for the moment. How is the situation with the wooden cow and the stray horse?"

Gu Yanwu said: "The bachelors of the Academy of Engineering have moved a machine from Xiyuan to experiment, and some results have been produced. Would Yuan Fu want to go and have a look?"

As soon as he heard that there were results, Zhang Haogu also became interested: "Then let's go and have a look."

When Zhang Haogu arrived at the Academy of Engineering Sciences, the Academy of Engineering Sciences was already ready. Song Yingxing saw Zhang Haogu coming and stepped forward and said: "Yuan Fu, the wooden cow and the flowing horse have been set up and are at the test site."

Zhang Haogu nodded: "Go and have a look."

When we arrived at the huge testing ground of the Academy of Engineering Sciences, we saw that a straight track had been laid. It was an iron track, paved with sleepers, and it could be said to be a fairly standard railway track.

On the railway track, four carriages with wooden frames and iron sheets have been parked on them. Some gravel and other things have been placed in the carriages in advance, waiting for the locomotive to tow them.

Soon, a thick locomotive with four power wheels slowly drove over and hooked up with the carriage. A man poked out of the locomotive: "Yuansuke, you are ready."

Zhang Haogu waved his hand: "Let's get started."

As the water in the boiler is boiled, the steam drives the wheels to rotate. With the sound of the whistle, the locomotive slowly starts the carriage, and the speed increases visibly. Amidst the continuous sound of the whistle and the noise of the wheel rotation,

The train moved forward at a leisurely pace.

"Okay!" Zhang Haogu took the lead in applauding.

Song Yingxing and other bachelors saw that Zhang Haogu was satisfied, and they also applauded.

This is the Ming Dynasty's wooden ox and stray horse. Before replacing it, who would have thought that this car could run without using livestock?

This locomotive looks bulky, but it has gathered the hard work of many bachelors from the Academy of Engineering. What this locomotive carries now is not a carriage, but the dreams of the bachelors, and the future of Ming Dynasty.

Zhang Haogu said with a smile: "This wooden cow and flowing horse can run because all the bachelors have worked hard. It is not appropriate to call it wooden cow and flowing horse now. Since it uses firewood and coal as fuel, we might as well call it a train. It is simple and easy to understand."

"

"How is the speed of this train now?" Zhang Haogu asked casually.

Song Yingxing said: "Yuanfu, if this train is traveling with only one locomotive, it can run sixty miles in one hour; if it carries thousands of kilograms of cargo, it can run thirty miles in one hour; if it carries tens of thousands of kilograms of cargo, it can run twenty miles in one hour.

inside."

Zhang Haogu nodded slightly: "This is the first time I'm on the road, and my speed is like this. It's not slow anymore. It's not slow anymore."

"You scholars have lived up to His Majesty's high expectations."

"However, this speed is not enough, fast enough, and stable enough. You bachelors still need to work hard."

Song Yingxing said: "Don't worry, Yuanfu, now that we have this train, we can improve it. In the future, both speed and load will be greatly improved."

Zhang Haogu encouraged the bachelors from the Academy of Engineering and then returned to the cabinet.

After returning to Wenyuan Pavilion, Zhang Haogu's mentality was still stable, but Huang Zongxi and Gu Yanwu were amazed. Although they had known that the imperial court was studying these things for a long time, the feeling of knowing it is different from seeing it with your own eyes.

The big iron lump stopped there motionless and didn't feel anything yet. However, once it started to move, the whistle sounded loudly and the wheels turned. The steam monster made of steel galloped on the rails amidst the sound of the whistle, moving like an earth dragon.

People were greatly shocked.

This is a steam monster forged by the craftsmen and scholars of the Ming Dynasty. It is a steel monster that does not belong to this era. This means that the Ming Dynasty has begun to enter the industrial age and the steam age.

The train is just the beginning.

Thinking about the bright future, Huang Zongxi sighed: "Before, students never dared to imagine that such a bulky monster could run."

"It is incredible that this heavy copper and iron can be driven forward by burning water without animal power or manpower."

Gu Yanwu also smiled and said: "Yes, if those Yi Di saw it, they would be shocked to death."

Zhang Haogu is well-informed and seems very calm: "It's not a big deal right now. Going twenty or thirty miles in an hour is not as good as walking faster. There are still many areas that need improvement."

"Nowadays, animal power is still the main method. This train will not be used in a year and a half."

"But it is good news after all. I have to tell His Majesty."

After meeting Zhu Youxiao in Xiyuan, Zhang Haogu told Zhu Youxiao the good news. After hearing this, Zhu Youxiao couldn't help but smile and said: "It is indeed good news."

"This wooden cow and flowing horse made of copper and iron were realized in Tianqi Dynasty, hahahahaha, what a good thing."

Zhang Haogu also smiled and said: "The Ming Dynasty has now entered industrialization and steamization. The grand plan I planned for your Majesty finally has some shadow."

Zhu Youxiao nodded, then frowned and said, "This is a wooden cow but a stray horse... this train still doesn't have enough power at the moment."

"Wei Banban, you go and notify the Academy of Engineering. I'm going to have a look tomorrow."

Eunuch Wei hurriedly said: "Hey, I will go and prepare now."

The next day, a group of bachelors from the Academy of Engineering, who had been prepared long ago, were waiting for the Holy Spirit.

Speaking of which, as the emperor of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Youxiao also knew that fame and power cannot be faked. Although he did not go to the cabinet every day, he would hold an internal meeting with the cabinet almost every three days, and the three major universities in the capital

The battalion even went on inspection tours every now and then.

Speaking of which, this habit was left behind by Emperor Yongle.

Chengzu, an old man who had gained great power and knew the importance of military power, patrolled the capital camp every day, rain or shine, and the same was true for Renxuan.

But when he arrived at Zhu Qi Town of the Mingbao Sect, he had great ambition and talent. He completely forgot what his great-great-grandfather, his grandfather, and his father did. If he did not inspect the capital camp, the nobles would also waste their martial arts, and the monarch and his ministers would be united.

They only know how to dig into the corners of the Ming Dynasty, plunder people's wealth, and appoint people with nepotism instead of promoting talents...

There is no need to mention what happened to the Ming Dynasty after that. In the battle of Tumubao, the elites left behind by the Yongle and Renxuan dynasties were completely destroyed. The loyal and noble ministers died one by one. The Ming Dynasty turned from prosperity to decline...

Even with this historical experience and the teachings of Zhang Haogu, Zhu Youxiao was well aware of the importance of military power. Although he did not inspect the capital camp every day, he did so every three days and sent his personal eunuch Wang Tigan there every day.

Patrol.

Not only did Zhu Youxiao go to the capital for inspections, but Zhang Haogu also went to the capital for inspections every now and then. This was how the Ming Dynasty came to be.

Why did Zhang Haogu say that those corrupt officials in the south were just scoundrels? Why is it that now that the imperial government has issued an order, local governments are conscientiously handling it without neglecting it? It is not because the imperial court has military power.

Military power, finance, and the appointment, dismissal, and promotion of officials are all firmly controlled by the imperial court. If the local government is overturned, then there will be a problem.

After arriving at the Academy of Engineering, looking at the bachelors of the Academy, Zhu Youxiao waved his hand: "You are all important ministers of the country, great talents, there is no need to be polite."

After helping Song Yingxing up, Zhu Youxiao asked: "Did the trial run of the train succeed yesterday?"

Song Yingxing said: "Back to Your Majesty, the trial run of the train yesterday was very successful."

Zhu Youxiao nodded slightly: "Go and have a look."

Arriving at the testing site, the current testing site is no longer a straight rail, but an oval rail surrounding the entire testing site. The rails form a closed loop. A locomotive dragging four carriages is parked on the rails. There are several cars around it.

A craftsman is inspecting.

Zhu Youxiao took a look and joined in. He was very interested in these industrial and mechanical aspects.

Song Yingxing saw Zhu Youxiao rolling up his sleeves and getting off work and quickly dissuaded him: "Your Majesty..."

But Zhu Youxiao didn't care about this at the moment. He had already approached the craftsmen: "How was the inspection?"

When these craftsmen saw that the emperor was approaching, they hurriedly knelt down but were stopped by Zhu Youxiao with a wave of his hand: "There is no need for these red tapes."

"What's going on with this train now?"
Chapter completed!
