"It's better to leave it to me for medical school. As for martial arts, it has been on the right track in recent years. I often don't go there for ten days and half a month, so I can leave it to others for management." Li Zhang recommended himself at this time. He was originally half a doctor, and he wanted to introduce the medical concepts of later generations into the current traditional Chinese medicine system, so no one except him can take on this important task.

Zhao Zhen was also very happy to hear that Li Zhang was willing to take care of the medical school himself, but when he heard that Li Zhang wanted to put down the martial arts affairs, Zhao Zhen said with some worries: "Cousin, I can't ask for anything when you go to the medical school, but there is no need to let martial arts go. Now, Old General Cao cannot manage the affairs, and martial arts is all up to you. If you leave, I really can't think of anyone who can take over."

"Of course it's you. The emperor should have served as the chief of the mountain since its establishment. However, the situation was special at that time, so the old general Cao was temporarily appointed. Now His Majesty also serves as the chief of the mountain. In addition, a capable person from the veterans in the court should be selected as the chief of the school." Li Zhang said with a smile at this time.

"Me? How can I have time to take care of martial arts?" Zhao Zhen said bitterly when he heard Li Zhang's words. He spent most of his time just handling memorials every day. Even though Li Zhang often advised him to delegate power, he was still a little worried and had to deal with some things himself.

"You didn't let you take care of martial arts personally, but you also think clearly that martial arts is a place for training generals for the army. As time goes by, more and more generals from the military background will learn more and more. In the future, the generals in the military will probably all come from martial arts, and they all come from martial arts schools. Therefore, the position of Shanzhu has a huge appeal. Are you sure you will hand it over to others with confidence?" Li Zhang asked again with a smile.

When Zhao Zhen heard Li Zhang's words, he suddenly remembered that when the martial arts was established, Li Zhang had said similar things to him, but at that time he was young and did not take power, so he did not take it seriously. But now if you think about it carefully, martial arts is indeed becoming more and more important. Even if the generals in the army came from martial arts in the future, their influence would be even more terrifying.

"I understand, then set rules. In the future, the position of Martial Arts Mountain Chief will be held by the emperor, and all the generals will come from the emperor's sect. Although this cannot completely ensure their loyalty, it is also a means to win over people." Zhao Zhen finally nodded solemnly.

However, when he said this, Zhao Zhen hesitated for a moment and said again: "But cousin, you don't have to be a school supervisor anymore, so who should do this school supervisor? I'm a little worried about handing it over to other people?"

"Why did Your Majesty forget? Isn't there someone being roasted by the ministers on the fire?" Li Zhang suddenly smiled. When he decided to quit martial arts, he had decided to take over.

"Put it on the fire?" Zhao Zhen was stunned when he heard Li Zhang's words, then he realized it. He immediately smiled and said, "I understand. Zhao Zhen has written several times to request to be transferred back to the capital. This is a good opportunity!"

Zhao Zhen had previously led his troops to defeat Dangxiang and forced Li Yuanhao to Black Mountain, which even forced Dangxiang to turn against the Liao Kingdom. Now the Song army has occupied Dangxiang's original land and opened up a channel with the Western Regions. As the main general, Zhao Zhen naturally made great contributions, and some people have even compared him with Cao Wei.

However, there have been no generals who have expanded their territory for many years in the Song Dynasty. From this perspective, Zhao Zhen’s contributions are even greater than Cao Wei. However, the wood is so beautiful that the wind will destroy it. What’s more, in the Song Dynasty, the civil servants suppress military generals, so since Zhao Zhen defeated Dangxiang, the impeachment of him in the court has never stopped.

Especially recently, Li Yuanhao agreed to negotiate peace with the Song Dynasty, which made many civil officials believe that Zhao Zhen is no longer needed in the army, and even let Zhao Zhen be a general who is very powerful and shocked the Lord. What if he rebels? Therefore, the impeachment of Zhao Zhen during this period was also sent to the Political Affairs Hall like a snowflake, and finally appeared on Zhao Zhen's desk.

Zhao Zhen is not stupid either. Moreover, he has a son named Zhao Xun, who serves as a general in the imperial guards, so Zhao Zhen has received a long time ago, but he knows how to advance and retreat. He wrote several letters to request to be transferred back to the capital. After all, as long as he returns to the capital, no one dares to say that he wants to rebel.

Zhao Zhen also thought that Zhao Zhen was very suitable. First, he was a veteran in the army, and secondly, he made contributions to destroying the party. Although Li Yuanhao had not completely wiped out, Zhao Zhen was no longer needed to be in charge in the army. In fact, Zhao Zhen's ability to command troops was not outstanding, but he won because of his steady victory. He did not advance aggressively and was not greedy for merit when fighting. Therefore, he chose him for the first time to use foreign troops to the Song Dynasty. Now it is time for him to retire after success.

The candidate for martial arts was also confirmed. Zhao Zhen finally felt relieved, and then discussed with Li Zhang about the medical school. Compared with martial arts, the importance of medical school seems to be much smaller, but it is related to people's livelihood. Moreover, the students of medical school are not like martial arts. They have clear places to go after graduation, and the Imperial Medical Bureau cannot need so many people, so these need to be considered in advance.

In fact, the reason why Li Zhang first established a medical school was not only stimulated by the matter of Queen Zhang to Zhao Zhen, but there was another important reason, that is, the Song Dynasty was very supportive of medicine, especially the imperial examinations, so he could become an official even if he had good medical skills. For example, the Imperial Medical Bureau was a specialized medical officer selection system, and even the Imperial Medical Bureau itself was a medical education institution. However, the education scale of the Imperial Medical Bureau was too small and the teaching was very conservative, which could not meet Li Zhang's requirements at all, so he established a new medical school.

Li Zhang also made a clear plan for the future where medical students go. The doctors trained by the Imperial Medical Bureau are mainly used to supplement their own purposes, and the Imperial Medical Bureau also mainly serves the royal family and ministers. Sometimes when an epidemic occurs in the local area, good doctors will be sent from the Imperial Medical Bureau to the local area, but those are temporary. In contrast, the medical conditions in the local area are very bad, especially in remote areas in the south. People in some places can only ask for help from witch doctors after they get sick and cannot get correct treatment at all. The low medical level is also one of the main reasons for the low life expectancy of ancient people.

Li Zhang's plan for medical students was not just used to supplement the Imperial Medical Bureau, but wanted to establish a national medical system under the jurisdiction of the court. Simply put, after the medical school students graduated, they were granted formal medical officer positions by the court, and then sent to the local area like ordinary officials to set up official hospitals to provide medical services to the local area. It was a bit like public hospitals in later generations, and the state would also provide certain subsidies.

Zhao Zhen also agreed with Li Zhang's idea very much. In fact, Li Zhang's idea was fresh. As long as you wait for a few decades, the famous Song Huizong ascended the throne, the Song Dynasty would also establish medicine and establish a local welfare bureau, which also had some medical services.

After discussing the medical school, Li Zhang thought about it and concluded again: "Actually, it's not to hide it from Your Majesty. The medical school is just a pilot."

"Pilot?" Zhao Zhen had long been accustomed to the new noun mentioned by Li Zhang, and asked curiously at this time.

"Yes, yesterday I went to the Firearms Supervisor to help them solve a problem, but I found more problems, that is, the inheritance of technology. In contrast, the inheritance of medicine is still good. At least there are yamen like the Imperial Medical Bureau that can teach medicine, but the skills related to firearms in the Firearms Supervisor can only be passed down by word of mouth by word of mouth by master and apprentice. Step-by-step teaching is not only inefficient, but also easy to miss. So I think the Firearms Supervisor should also set up a school to pass on their skills." Li Zhang explained at this time.

Zhao Zhen and Li Zhang grew up together, and the tacit understanding between the two was unparalleled. Others may not understand Li Zhang's words, but he immediately understood and nodded in agreement: "Cousin, you are right, but I was neglected. With the precedent of martial arts, the importance of the school has been proved, not only the firearms supervisor, but also the general supervisor, the water supervisor, etc. These should all require a special school."

"Your Majesty said very well, but you have to eat in one bite. Your Majesty must not be too hasty. Now set up an easier medical school for pilot projects. If the results are good, it will not be too late to promote it to other industries." Li Zhang immediately agreed, and advised Zhao Zhen not to be anxious. After all, he knew Zhao Zhen's personality and was sometimes a little too impatient.

"I understand, then that's all. I'll ask Lu Xiang and the others to discuss the matter of medical school tomorrow. There should be no problem!" Zhao Zhen nodded and smiled. The conversation with Li Zhang today also pointed out a path for him in governance, which made him feel a sudden sense of enlightenment, so he felt better.

"By the way, I heard that cousin, you are going to take a concubine?" Zhao Zhen suddenly thought of something and asked Li Zhang with a smile.

"How come you know about this?" Li Zhang also looked at Zhao Zhen in surprise at this time. After all, Zhao Zhen is so busy and cannot leave the palace. Taking a concubine is his own family matter, so Li Zhang did not expect that he would know about this. Mr. Qingzhi would not have sent Zhao Zhen an invitation, right?

"Li'er told me when he entered the palace, and I also knew that you were the princess who escaped from Liao. I heard that she had liked you for a long time, and the last time you went to Liao, she wrote to her younger brother to help you. It is rare to see such a kind and kind woman. Cousin, don't let the benefactor down the beauties." Zhao Zhen laughed at this time.
