"For the sake of national health and national security, the imperial court will fund the establishment of the first ten medical schools in various parts of the Ming Dynasty to cultivate medical talents and develop medical technology and technology!"
With the shouts of newsboys, a new day gradually ushered in various places in Ming Dynasty.
The habit of reading newspapers has long been integrated into the daily lives of Ming people, especially in cities, newspapers have become an indispensable thing.
Chengdu, since the opening of the Great Wall Railway, the development of Chengdu has entered a stage of rapid development. It is no exaggeration to describe the rapid development.
A large number of factories and commercial banks have settled in Chengdu, which has also made Chengdu's economic scale larger and larger, attracting more and more people to settle in Chengdu.
After these years of development, Chengdu's population has exceeded three million, becoming the largest city in Southwest China and the economic development center of Southwest China.
However, although Chengdu's economic development is very rapid, it still lags behind the Ming Dynasty in other aspects, especially in terms of new schools.
So far, there is not a new institution of higher learning in Chengdu. All students studying in the new school, if they want to continue their studies, can only go to higher education institutions in other places for further studies.
This is very unfair to students in Sichuan and even the entire southwest region.
But this is the reality, because the Ming court will not allocate funds to establish new schools. All new schools are privately funded.
Most of these new schools were founded by Liu Jin, and some were founded by local gentry, businessmen, officials, etc. who took the lead in raising money.
In the past, transportation here in Sichuan was inconvenient, everyone was poor, and there was not much money to build new schools. Later, Sichuan people actively donated money to build the railway. Over the years, Sichuan has gradually developed, and everyone finally has some money in their pockets.
Money.
However, it is very expensive to open an institution of higher learning. The key is that once it is established, a lot of money needs to be invested every year to maintain it.
This also resulted in the fact that there was no institution of higher learning in Sichuan and even the entire southwest region. This time the imperial court wanted to build medical schools in various parts of the Ming Dynasty, and finally a higher education institution settled in Sichuan.
“Southwestern Medical College!”
"Haha, we finally have our own university in Chengdu!"
“Southwestern Medical College settled in Chengdu, Southwest Medical College settled in Chengdu!”
As the news spread, young and old men all over Chengdu suddenly shouted excitedly.
In the southwest region, transportation is inconvenient and development is slow. Compared with other parts of the Ming Dynasty, the economic gap is relatively large, and even education is much worse than other places.
People in Sichuan are also clearly aware of this. In recent years, some people have been working in many ways, hoping to raise money to build several colleges and universities in Chengdu to cultivate more talents and develop the southwest.
This has also received support from many people, and many well-known gentry in Sichuan have expressed their willingness to contribute generously. Since ancient times, investment in education has been the most cost-effective.
Especially in this era, education is actually more unfair than in later generations.
This is true whether it is traditional Confucian education or new education.
Not to mention traditional Confucian education, the tuition is extremely expensive. Only rich people can send their children to study Confucian education. Without some financial resources, you simply cannot support it.
This in disguise eliminates the possibility of the children of poor people and ordinary people taking this path.
As for new schools, although there is a unified examination, only about 80% of the places are admitted, and 20% of the places are independently recruited, which is naturally the most beneficial to the area where the higher education institutions are located.
For the southwest region, which does not have its own colleges and universities, it is very disadvantaged because it is often impossible to take the independent admissions examination.
Secondly, there are some local colleges and universities, such as Songhu University of Science and Technology here in Songhu, which were jointly funded and established by the gentry, merchants, factory owners, etc. in the Songhu area. Naturally, most of the enrollment is targeted at the Songhu area.
s student.
There are also colleges and universities with obvious local characteristics such as Jiangxi Institute of Technology and Jiangxi Normal University, which were also funded and established by gentry landlords, businessmen, etc. in Jiangxi Province.
The purpose of its establishment is to provide opportunities for children in their own province to continue their education, and most of the enrollment is for those in their own province.
There are many similar schools like this. In various parts of the Ming Dynasty, gentry, businessmen, capitalists, etc. from all over the country have jointly funded the establishment of new schools, and they all recruit students for the local area.
The result is that in wealthy areas, there are many schools, so there are more students to recruit, and students have more choices. In poor areas, there are fewer schools, and there are fewer enrollment places, so students have fewer choices.
This is how education is, there has been no fairness at all since ancient times.
Now that Southwest Medical College has settled in Chengdu, it is directly funded and managed by the Ministry of Household Affairs of the imperial court. It also stipulates that it mainly recruits students from several provinces in the southwest, which naturally makes Chengdu people extremely excited.
Medical schools can not only provide good opportunities for local students, but also greatly improve the medical level of the southwest region.
You should know that the Ming Dynasty Morning Post has already carried out some reports on related aspects.
There are many hospitals and medical clinics in the Beijing-Tianjin area, and the medical skills are superb. The neonatal mortality rate in the Beijing-Tianjin area is extremely low, and the child mortality rate is also very, very low.
But in the backward southwestern region, not to mention hospitals and medical clinics, there are not many barefoot doctors. Only in some big cities like Liman, there are new-style hospitals and some medical clinics.
However, transportation in the southwest is inconvenient, and it is obviously unrealistic to go to big cities for medical treatment. Therefore, the neonatal mortality rate in the southwest is still not low, and the death rate of children is also relatively high.
Now there are medical schools settled in the southwest region, which is very helpful for improving the medical level and developing medical talents in the southwest region.
The Sichuan people were naturally very happy and celebrated happily.
"Southwestern Medical College! Southwest Medical College!"
"Recruiting famous doctors as teachers to jointly inherit medicine, conduct research, create new medical fields and technologies, and help the world and benefit one place!"
The news continued to spread throughout the southwest region, and it also called on famous doctors from the southwest region to teach at Southwest Medical College, not only to pass on medical technology, but also to jointly research and develop new medical fields and technologies.
At this moment, it is not just the people in the southwest who are happy, the same thing is happening all over the Ming Dynasty.
Penglai City, Golden Island.
“Golden Island Medical College!”
"The imperial court will establish Huangjinzhou Medical College here in Penglai City!"
Here in Penglai City, people rush to tell each other.
The Emperor of Heaven has not forgotten the people of Huangjin Continent, and will finally establish a higher education institution or medical school here in Huangjinzhou. This will play a huge role in improving the medical level of Huanghuangzhou.
The Golden Continent has not always received much attention, even though the land here is fertile, the resources are rich, and gold and silver are produced.
But the population here is small and it is not taken seriously.
Now that the imperial court has opened a medical school here in Penglai City, the people of the Ming Dynasty in Huanghuangzhou finally feel a little bit of care from the emperor of the Ming Dynasty.
This also makes the people of Huanghuangzhou extremely happy. Making money is important, but as people of the Ming Dynasty, it makes everyone feel honored that this can be taken seriously.
Nanyang Crescent City.
“Nanyang Medical College has settled in Crescent City!”
“Nanyang Medical College has settled in Crescent City!”
Here in Crescent City, people rush to tell each other and are extremely happy.
As the largest city in the Nanyang region, Crescent City has a population of more than three million and has always been the economic center of the Nanyang region. However, like many places in the Ming Dynasty, it does not have its own institutions of higher learning.
Now it is finally time to usher in the first institution of higher learning, or medical school, which will be very helpful to the development of medicine in Nanyang.
"We should have more colleges and universities in Nanyang. I suggest that we plantation owners all spend some money to establish several colleges and universities in Nanyang."
"I also support that since ancient times, if a place wants to produce talents, it must pay attention to education. I am from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. We in Zhejiang have many talented people since ancient times. That is because we attach great importance to education."
"If Nanyang wants to produce talents, we must also pay attention to education. Not only traditional education, but also new education must be paid attention to. Everyone should actively donate money, because this is for our future generations, and the contribution will be in the contemporary era.
, the benefit lies in the future!”
"Mr. Li's words are reasonable, I will pay you 1,000 taels of silver!"
"I will contribute 2,000 taels of silver to support education and our Nanyang!"
At a teahouse in Crescent City, many plantation owners gathered together to discuss the matter of building several more colleges and universities, and they also received support from many people.
Southwest Medical College, Nanyang Medical College, Huanghuangzhou Medical College, Hezhong Medical College, Liaodong Medical College, Jiangnan Medical College, North China Medical College, Northwest Medical College, Guangzhou Medical College, Huguang Medical College.
Ten medical schools were established in various parts of the Ming Dynasty. The Ministry of Household Affairs of the Ming Dynasty directly allocated funds for construction. This time it also received great attention. According to the plan of the imperial court, each medical school will receive an allocation of 3 million taels of silver.
After all, this time, the imperial court also paid great attention to it. It built ten medical schools at one time and allocated more than 30 million taels of silver. It can be said that it is rich and wealthy, but it is enough to prove how seriously the imperial court attaches to this matter.
This is to improve the overall medical level of Ming Dynasty. It may not have any effect in a short period of time, but after five or ten years, when these medical schools begin to play a role, the medical level of Ming Dynasty will be completely different.
