Chapter 1053, medical care is related to everyone's life and death health
Emperor Hongzhi's support for medicine was very strong because it was related to his own experience.
In the past, all the imperial doctors in the palace were all quacks. Emperor Hongzhi clearly had intestinal carbuncle, but these quacks all said that nothing was wrong, but they did not see that Emperor Hongzhi was getting thinner and older, and he was only in his thirties.
He is already dying.
But the Daming Medical College, which specializes in new medical techniques, is different. They know how to study, know how to study, and dare to do it. They removed the intestinal abscess through surgery, cured Emperor Hongzhi's disease, and saved Emperor Hongzhi's life.
Emperor Hongzhi had personal experience and felt that what Liu Jin said was very reasonable.
Li Anyuan's team developed a method to prevent smallpox with cowpox. This is a great contribution that has benefited countless people and can be recorded in the annals of history. It is no worse than the soldiers who opened up new territories and should be knighted.
"What Liu Jin said makes sense. Regardless of any industry or individual, as long as they have contributed to the prosperity of our Ming Dynasty, they should be rewarded and recognized, not just military merit."
Li Dongyang thought for a while but stood up and expressed his stance.
The emperor has said that he will be ennobled, so it is naturally impossible for a minister to fight with the emperor blindly.
What's more, what Liu Jin said is not wrong. This can encourage more people to study and improve medical skills. This not only benefits the country and the people, but is also related to their own vital interests. Everyone will get sick sometimes.
Don’t you still need to see a doctor?
If you offend those doctors on this matter and spread the matter, I'm afraid no doctors in the capital will treat you in the future.
At the same time, Li Dongyang is also a person who is extremely good at thinking and discovering. In recent years, Ming Dynasty has undergone earth-shaking changes, and a large number of new things have emerged.
Many things may seem very simple and inconspicuous, but they can greatly change everyone's life, such as cement, glass, new spinning machines, looms, etc.
The people who studied these things were not the scholars that everyone always admired, but ordinary Ming people. However, these things they invented really changed the Ming Dynasty.
Without cement, there would be no spacious, comfortable, durable, and strong cement roads. Without glass, there would be no reading glasses, myopia, telescopes, mirrors, glass windows, etc.
Without new spinning machines and looms, there would be no countless textile factories. Without the continuous production of cloth, there would be no more and more huge cities, and the court's tax revenue would naturally not increase.
So swift and violent.
It can be said that these ordinary people of the Ming Dynasty had their own wisdom and promoted the prosperity of the Ming Dynasty. In contrast, those readers who only know how to write eight-legged essays do not seem to have much effect.
He had no strength to tie the chicken, was not diligent in shaving, and did not separate the grains. He still looked aloof, but in fact, he made very little contribution to the Ming Dynasty, and even continued to hinder the development of the Ming Dynasty.
If scholars educated in traditional private schools were not able to pass the imperial examinations, they might not be as good as students educated in Liu Jin’s new schools.
In the many new schools founded by Liu Jin, after graduating from middle school, those with excellent grades can continue their studies and go to university, while those with average grades can go to some professional schools.
For example, if you go to the Hainan Institute of Navigation, the School of Mechanical Engineering, the School of Shipbuilding, the School of Architecture and Bridges, the School of Textiles, the School of Medicine, etc., to study a certain technology or skill specifically, you will often be able to master a good skill after graduation, and you will be able to do it very quickly.
Find a good job.
Li Dongyang sees all this in his eyes. The talents cultivated by these new schools will inevitably affect all aspects of Ming Dynasty in the future.
"I also think what Liu Jin said is reasonable~"
Xie Qian also stood up and said that his two sons have been sick and in poor health, and his own health is not very good. After going to Daming Medical College for treatment, they have become much better after treatment, so he also feels that
The development of medicine should be encouraged.
When others saw it, they saw that the two cabinet ministers had expressed their opinions, and Emperor Hongzhi also supported it, so they all expressed their agreement.
Seeing this scene, Liu Jian sighed helplessly. To be honest, the reason why he objected was to maintain his status as a scholar.
Nowadays, not only the military generals group has risen, but it also gives people the feeling that anyone can have a successful life, and there are people from all walks of life who can be like them as scholars.
While a man who is a doctor can be knighted, in the future there may even be other heretic people who can be knighted. This is definitely not good news for traditional scholars.
"Then the matter is settled~"
Emperor Hongzhi saw that everyone had no objections, so he decided.
"Your Majesty~"
At this time, Liu Jin stood up again and said.
"Is there anything else?"
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Liu Jin and said with a smile.
"Your Majesty, this medical matter is related to the vital interests of everyone in our Ming Dynasty and is a major matter related to the national economy and people's livelihood. However, our Ming Dynasty has not paid attention to medical matters and has not established complete rules and regulations."
"In the private sector, doctors in many places are not of any standard at all. Many are charlatans and charlatans. The pills they sell have no effect at all."
"Originally, it is just a small disease, but because of timely and effective treatment, it is often killed by those quack doctors, and even money is taken away by these quack doctors."
"In addition, the medical skills of my Ming Dynasty doctor are usually passed down from father to son, master and apprentice, and there is very little communication between them. Many times, some useful medical skills and prescriptions are not promoted."
"So I believe that the Ming Dynasty should establish a complete medical system. All doctors in the Ming Dynasty should be assessed and graded. Only doctors who have reached a certain grade can open a clinic to practice medicine or recruit apprentices to teach medicine. At the same time,
It is also necessary to organize regular training for these doctors to train them to learn new medical skills, use new drugs and treatment equipment, etc."
"In addition, the technology for preventing smallpox with cowpox has matured and needs to be promoted in various parts of the Ming Dynasty. This also requires unified training for doctors in various regions of the Ming Dynasty, so that effective prevention and vaccination methods can be quickly promoted."
Liu Jin took out the memorial he had already prepared from his arms, and then spoke slowly.
After hearing Liu Jin's words, everyone couldn't help but think deeply. Emperor Hongzhi picked up Liu Jin's memorial and read it in detail.
In Liu Jin's memorial, he described in detail the importance of establishing a perfect medical system. There are many cases in it. For example, in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, there were still many very ignorant things happening, which caused too many, too many
There were so many innocent casualties, and many people died of diseases that could have been cured.
Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but nod his head as he watched. He himself was almost killed by quacks. All the quacks in the Imperial Hospital were quacks, just like what Liu Jin said in his memorial.
The difference is that the quack doctors among the people are harming ordinary people, while the quack doctors in Taiyuan Hospital are harming the nobles in the palace. If you think about it carefully, there are a lot of quacks even in areas like Taiyuan Hospital. The quacks that exist in various parts of the Ming Dynasty
I don't know how many there are.
As for the other ministers, they are all thinking that this Liu Jin is really capable of causing trouble.
In the past, life as a minister was so comfortable. I just went to court every day and watched the emperor's words and deeds. There was no need to worry about taxes, infrastructure, immigration, etc.
You can just wholeheartedly please the emperor and fight for power and gain. This is what ministers should do.
Liu Jin was good. From the very beginning, he was very capable of building roads, opening up seas, engaging in textiles, carrying out military reforms, tax reforms, rectifying officialdom, and establishing the entrance examination system, which made it difficult for everyone to live a good life.
What kind of medical system should we build now? It’s really too fiddly.
But as Liu Jin said, everything he did made the Ming Dynasty more powerful. From the beginning, a large number of people opposed it, but now more and more people support Liu Jin. Emperor Hongzhi is also very happy to listen to Liu Jin.
Jin's opinion.
"My dear friends, what do you think?"
Emperor Hongzhi handed Liu Jin's memorial to Liu Jian and motioned for everyone to read it.
"Your Majesty, I think this is a good thing and is related to the national economy and people's livelihood. It is indeed necessary to establish a complete system."
Liu Jian thought for a while and agreed.
"Your Majesty, I have also heard a lot of related things. In the past, when people were sick in our hometown, people often did not go to see a doctor. Instead, they went to pray to gods and Buddhas. As a result, many diseases that could be cured were delayed."
"In addition, there are some quacks, swindlers and the like who use fake medicines to defraud and sell high-priced medicines."
"I believe that we should not only establish a perfect system, but also supervise drug prices in various places, and severely punish those quacks who have no medical skills and charlatans who use their medical practice to defraud."
Li Dongyang also stood up and expressed his position. Anyway, the imperial court now has too much money to use up. In this case, it is actually possible to invest some money to establish a complete medical system.
Liu Jian and Li Dongyang both expressed their opinions, and others naturally nodded and expressed their opinions. After all, this is a matter of vital interest for everyone.
Having a complete medical system is a good thing for the people, and it is even better for them. If they get sick in the future, they can get effective treatment quickly and live longer.
"Everyone has the same opinion, so this matter will be handled according to Liu Jin's letter. The Ministry of Household Affairs will take the lead, join forces with Daming Medical College and Daming Royal Medical College to discuss, establish relevant systems, and then implement them throughout the Ming Dynasty.
