Li Shan stood in the courtyard of the Imperial Medical Office disappointed. He knew that in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, there were only so-called Imperial Hospitals, which mainly served the royal family and dignitaries. He originally thought that during the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there would be an institution like the Imperial Medical Office that was very similar to the medical school of later generations.
, and still thinking about preaching, receiving karma and solving doubts, what is the result?
The clerk searched for a long time, but could not find the imperial medical order from the Imperial Medical Office. In other words, the principal and vice-principal were not here, and the entire Imperial Medical Office was herding sheep.
Li Shan caught a handyman and asked about it. At present, there are less than a hundred students in the Imperial Medical Department, and there are very few medical students. They mainly study medicine, learning to plant and prepare medicinal materials.
Think about it, you may not learn how to grow and prepare medicinal materials very quickly, but it depends on who you compare with... After medical students finish studying "Su Wen", "Mai Jing", and "Jia B Jing", they will take a test once a month.
The exam is taken every quarter and once at the end of each year. Under normal circumstances, it takes seven years to graduate.
After waiting for half of the market and not seeing any administrative officials, Li Shan's face became increasingly ugly, and he simply waved his sleeves and returned to Zhujiagou.
"The Imperial Medical Office was reestablished last year?" Ma Zhou was a little surprised when he heard that, but then he gloated, "Huairen has a good eye and chose this place!"
Ling Jing thought a little more, "That day you committed yourself to teach in the Imperial Medical Office in front of the saints. If you don't have any results, I'm afraid it will be difficult for you to become an official for a while."
Li Shan also thought about this. He had expressed his attitude in front of Li Yuan. Without certain movement, Li Yuan might not let him become an official in a short time... Even if he became an official, he wouldn't be able to get a good position.
It’s not that Li Shan wants a good position. He is a fifth- and sixth-rank official. Is there any better position than Zhongshu Sheren?
A more important position would make it easier for him to fall into a whirlpool... Therefore, Li Shan was already thinking about leaving.
But if I can make some achievements in the Imperial Medical Office, I will have more room to choose. Maybe choose a place in Guanzhong?
Now that Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin are competing for the throne, Princess Pingyang is likely to get involved, plus King Li Yuanji of Qi...
Li Shan thought for a while, slapped the table and cursed: "If it weren't for...if it wasn't for him..."
Ling Jing coughed twice. Although Li Dewu abandoned his wife and son, Mrs. Zhu can scold you, but you, my son, cannot, at least not in front of others.
Li Shan became famous during the Shandong War. After returning to Beijing, he took the imperial examination and became an official, but did not join the command of the King of Qin. This embarrassing situation finally resulted in this embarrassing situation... In the final analysis, it was because of Li Dewu and the Hedong Wenxi Pei family behind Li Dewu.
If it weren't for Li Dewu, Li Shan would have thrown himself into the Qin Palace openly and openly, and then encouraged Li Shimin to take action earlier with his righteousness.
Ling Jing thought for a moment and stared at Li Shan, "What if we start from scratch and create the Imperial Medical Office?"
"Do it by yourself?" Li Shan was stunned for a moment, then slapped the table again, "Yes, do it by yourself!"
"Taichang Qing Dou Dan has a good relationship with you, so there should be no resistance to each other." Ma Zhou analyzed: "The imperial doctor ordered everyone to scatter, and no one could restrain them. Huairen used the name of teaching..."
Li Shan got up and walked around the study room. The more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a way.
I am only responsible for teaching first aid, trauma, and nursing. No one can teach except myself. In other words, no one can help... Well, and those "Su Wen", "Pulse Meridian", and "A and B Jing" myself
I don’t understand, I don’t even know how to diagnose the pulse.
Well, the Guards can choose some people to be assistants, all of whom I trained in Shandong.
At most, let the people from the Department of Medicine help get some trauma medicine. It just so happens that the Department of Medicine is not short of manpower... That's natural, because most of the people in the Department of Medicine are in the medicine garden, and the prepared medicinal materials can be sold for money.
Li Shan raised his finger, "First, you have to ask for money. If you don't have money, you can't do it."
"Secondly, the instruments have to be made. Dou Dan's father, Chen Guogong, was also a master craftsman before he passed away. Well, brother Demou can also help. The one he brought to Shandong before was made by him.
"
"Third, summon students..." Li Shan hesitated, "I'm afraid few people are willing to come."
Ling Jing nodded and said: "I was born in the Imperial Medical Office of the former Sui Dynasty, and I am a famous doctor among the people. I am afraid that my hands will be stained with blood..."
This was said euphemistically, but Li Shan understood the implication. Although those students were all common people, they all wanted to study at the Imperial Medical Office with the hope of becoming doctors or doing medicine business.
And Li Shan wants to train a group of people to prepare a camp for wounded soldiers, but those students may not be willing... There is a difference in status after all.
Ultimately, this is the difference between doctors and nurses... This difference also exists in later generations of hospitals.
Li Shan pursed his lips and said, "Select from farmers, and you will be exempted from the recruitment of government soldiers!"
After a pause, Li Shanchi asked: "Is it possible?"
Ling Jing thought for a while, "Now that the world is roughly unified, and there is no war except for the Turks, the Guanzhong Prefecture soldiers...if they only select a few dozen people, it will be fine."
Ma Zhou rolled his eyes and said, "We will try out fifty people first, and they will be exempted from recruitment by the government soldiers. If the time comes... we can simply take them under the Li family and serve as Huairen's personal guard."
Although it's a bad idea... it's still a solution.
In fact, in the sixth year of Wude, even if the soldiers of the Guanzhong Prefecture went on expeditions and performed meritorious services, the land allocated to them was no better than in previous years. Not only was it less, it was also barren, and it was also very far away.
If benefits can be given, such as calling him a personal guard, Li Shan's idea is still feasible.
Li Shan scratched his bun and said fiercely: "Go back tomorrow!"
In fact, Li Shan knew very well that the biggest problem was not the money, equipment and enrollment, but the most difficult problem was finding anatomy teachers...there was really no place to get one.
In this era, even the corpses of enemy soldiers have to be buried. Death is a big deal... In the past, there were many opportunities to practice in the wounded barracks in Guantao, but now that the war is over, only the Turks are left.
Waiting for the Turks to come and give you their heads?
One night, even while eating, Li Shan was worried in his heart. He didn't know how many death row prisoners were imprisoned in the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, but it would be useless even if they were beheaded or hanged. He could not become a general teacher.
I don’t know what the ingredients of formalin are...
"Mr. Lang."
Li Shan took the tea cup and drank some water, "Mother, what do you want to tell your child?"
Mr. Zhu on the opposite side glanced at Mr. Zhou and saw Mr. Zhou retreating, then said: "I have to be granted the title of Duke of Guantao County, but I haven't become an official yet. I heard that I was transferred to the position of Minister of the Ministry of Personnel?"
Before, Li Shanwei went to the Ministry of Civil Service for the examination, using the excuse of being granted the title of Lun. After hearing this, he smiled bitterly and said: "Mother, I want to teach at the Imperial Medical Office, but unexpectedly..."
After hearing her son's explanation, Ms. Zhu frowned and asked, "So what if it doesn't work?"
"I was ranked first in Jinshi. I went to the Ministry of Civil Affairs for the examination. I heard that the Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs was concurrently appointed by Zhongshu Ling... It seems that the people who came to pay homage that day were the children of the Yang family of Hongnong?"
Li Shan nodded, "Yang Siyi, his father is Duke Yang of Zhongshu Ling."
Yang Siyi was also a Jinshi in this subject. He met Li Shan in Pingkangfang that day, and later visited him with Li Kai and others.
"But on that day, the child boasted so much in front of the sage. If it didn't come true, the sage would be displeased."
As soon as these words came out, Zhu's face changed slightly. After all, the examples of the two emperors of the Sui Dynasty were in front of him. Even if a minister who did not have the Sacred Heart became famous throughout the country, it would be difficult for him to climb up.
"Don't worry, mother. The child has already taken care of this matter." Li Shan deliberately enlivened the atmosphere and did not want his mother to worry about such matters. He said casually: "The child went to see the house in Chang'an a few days ago. Uncle Yuwen Shi moved
It will be clean and tidy when the time comes..."
"If Dalang wants to move in, he can clean up on his own." Madam Zhu snorted expressionlessly, "I'm going to Dongshan Temple to keep Nanyang company for my mother."
Li Shan huffed, okay, he said the wrong thing, so he could only bow and salute, "My child is wrong."
Mrs. Zhu sighed slightly. In the past two years, she basically went to Dongshan Temple every two or three days to talk to Princess Nanyang. The two women felt the same way, and their friendship became deeper and deeper.
"Today, Princess Pingyang's Mansion sent a message. Princess Pingyang and Duke Qiao will come to visit you the day after tomorrow." Mrs. Zhu confessed, "Don't leave home in the future."
Li Shan agreed, thinking that he had only been away from the Princess Mansion for seven or eight days, and that Princess Pingyang would be able to go out so soon... She just didn't know what she would think about changing from an aunt to a sister.
After returning to the room, Li Shan leaned on the couch, touched the bed board under him, and said casually: "Tomorrow, tell Erlang to cut some bamboo and make a bamboo bed."
Mr. Zhou immediately responded. The Erlang Li Shan mentioned was Mr. Zhou, Mr. Zhou's second brother.
Glancing at the charming Zhou family, Li Shan sighed and put his arms around her waist. Unfortunately, she was a woman, and she was still his concubine. Otherwise, she could have gone to the Imperial Medical Office to be a helper.
Obediently lying on Li Shan's chest, Zhou finally whispered after a while: "Lang Jun, today the second brother mentioned that most of the new houses in the village have been completed, and a large amount of red bricks have been piled up in the brick factory..."
"Yeah." Li Shan came back to his senses and said with a smile: "Erlang and Qi Laoliu can't sell it?"
The Li family accounts for 80% of the brick factory's income, and the remaining 20% is taken by Qi Laoliu and others. Now that they can't sell it, they are naturally anxious.
Li Shan asked a few questions and quickly figured out the problem. Building a house was a big deal in this era, and even building a new house in the countryside would be a big deal in later generations. With so many red bricks... being sold in villages and towns outside the city, how many people would buy them?
And new gadgets are always hard to sell at first.
Only by sending them to Chang'an City can they be sold... Those houses close to the imperial city are all luxury houses, but the further away from the imperial city, the more dilapidated the houses are, so the demand is not small.
"When you enter the city tomorrow, ask Erlang to follow you." Li Shan ordered, and his right hand moved unconsciously.
Zhou murmured a few times and begged: "Mr. Lang, please put out the lamp."
Xiaoman, who had just walked in, gritted his teeth and turned around and went out... She didn't stay, she didn't get any benefits, and she had to fetch hot water afterwards.
The next morning, Li Shannan got up late. He got up slowly after doing morning exercises.
While having breakfast, people called Zhu Ba, Zhu Shitou, and Zhao Da, the local guards of Zhujiagou. If they wanted to recruit students on the farm outside the city, they could only rely on these locals.
Li Shanzi explained carefully, "Either there are many men in the family, or there are few fields..."
Naturally, you have to devote yourself to studying. Sometimes you have to work in the fields, and sometimes you have to do housework. How can you learn well... And they are all farmers outside the city. It is not easy to enter Chang'an. In this era, horses are equivalent to cars. Li Shan's horse is a god
The extraordinary white horse is equivalent to a Porsche.
After thinking for a while, Li Shan added: "We will provide lunch and dinner, and each person will be given a monthly payment of one hundred coins."
One hundred articles was a lot, and Li Shan felt that he was quite generous.
But after entering the imperial city, Li Shancai realized that the price of food had now risen to 600 yuan per pound of rice.
Li Shan was not sure how many kilograms a bucket in the Tang Dynasty weighed in later generations. He roughly estimated that it was a little over ten kilograms.
In other words, you can earn about two kilograms of rice a month... If the price of food continues to rise, it may be only one kilogram of rice, or even a few meters or two.
Li Shan hesitated for a moment, but soon realized that the young man he had summoned only needed to have breakfast at home... It would be May soon, and the next few months would be the most difficult time for a young man.
Too much grain and rice, as long as the family has enough labor, most farmers can accept it.
But after entering Taichang Temple, Li Shan's face changed, and he stared at Taichang Qing Dou Dan with determination, "Brother Guangda, you and I fell in love at first sight. Let's make no bones about it. The price of rice in Jingzhao has soared. I don't want money, I just want food."
rice!"
Dou Dan was speechless. Now we are discussing whether to give you money or grain.
Setting up another department in the Imperial Medical Office is a small matter, but it is also a big deal... Dou Dan, as Taichang Qing, is qualified to be the master, but he has a weak temperament and always follows the rules in doing things and does not like to be unconventional.
.
"I'm going to teach, and the students will be recruited separately, but the student rations need to come from Taichang Temple." Li Shan ignored it and told everything straightforwardly, "In addition, we need the help of Brother Guangda to make the equipment. Remember Brother Guangda and General
Great craftsmen know each other well."
Dou Dan asked for details and immediately said: "The production of such equipment should be the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry!"
"The house in the Imperial Medical Office is in ruins and needs to be rebuilt. It just so happens that he is going to be a great craftsman..." Li Shan paused and whispered: "The Minister of the Ministry of Industry... I am really..."
Feng Lun, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, hates Li Shan to the core of his heart. If he comes to ask for help, it is only polite to be rejected.
After chatting for more than an hour, Dou Dan bit his tongue and refused to nod. Thinking about it, Taichang Temple is not rich either. It is a government office that is as clean as water, and the landlord's family has no food left over!
In the end, Li Shan almost lost his temper. Dou Dan only agreed to say hello to the master craftsman, build a few houses in the Imperial Medical Office, make equipment, and allocate grain and rice, but refused to accept it.
, at most allocate some money.
After Li Shan left, Dou Dan entered the palace immediately and reported everything.
Li Yuan couldn't help but laugh and said: "I was discouraged yesterday, but I am working hard today. Such a young man is really sharp."
That day, Li Shan said that he was going to the Imperial Medical Office to give lectures. Li Yuan heard it right away. He didn't even know what the Imperial Medical Office was like.
"Let him go." Li Yuan thought for a while and ordered: "For making the equipment, I will tell him to be a master craftsman. As for the grain... Taichang Temple will allocate some money to give Huairen a headache."
Dou Dan couldn't tell, but Li Yuan knew as soon as he heard it. Li Shanming was seeking Taichang Qing Dou Dan, but in fact he was targeting himself, the emperor.
Li Yuan also wanted to see what kind of movement that young man could create in such an imperial medical office.
