Chapter 779, Gathering Famous Doctors in the World
Qian Hui of Huichun Hall in Beijing is a well-known doctor in the entire capital. He has superb medical skills. In addition, he has a kind-hearted doctor. He charges good consultation fees and sells good medicines, and the prices are lower than others, so
There are so many people coming to see the doctor that there is a long queue at the door of Huichun Hall every day.
"You have a cold, it's nothing serious. Drink more hot water when you get back and you'll be fine if you sweat."
Qian Hui was treating a patient when his young apprentice Zhang Jing hurried over and said in a low voice: "Master, the Minister of Revenue Liu Shilang sent someone to invite you to his house."
"Shilang Liu?"
When Qian Hui heard this, he thought about it carefully and immediately knew who it was. Liu Shilang of Hubei was naturally the popular person next to Emperor Hongzhi. He was also a famous disciple of an expert, and he was also known as the God of Wealth who could turn stone into gold.
Liu Jin.
"Go and get ready. You'll be there soon."
Qian Hui immediately gave Zhang Jing instructions.
There was a big difference in medical treatment between the Ming Dynasty and previous dynasties. In other dynasties, if dignitaries in the capital were sick, they would most likely seek out an imperial physician, because people who could be called imperial physicians often meant
A person with superb medical skills and the most proficient in medical skills.
But the Ming Dynasty was different. Because of the household registration system established by Comrade Zhu Yuanzhang in the early Ming Dynasty, the imperial doctors in this palace were also passed down from generation to generation, descendants and grandsons.
Grandpa served as the imperial physician for Zhu Yuanzhang, and his son served as the imperial physician for Zhu Di. It has been passed down to this day.
Logically speaking, this art has been passed down from generation to generation, and this art should have become more and more sophisticated. However, on the contrary, the fact is that the imperial doctors in the capital not only have less medical skills than their ancestors, but in many cases they only know how to read prescriptions from medical books.
The medical skills are not as good as those running medical clinics on the streets.
Regarding this point, it is not nonsense. Starting from the middle and late Ming Dynasty, many emperors were short-lived and died in their thirties. Although there were many unexplained things in this.
However, the medical skills of these doctors in the Imperial Hospital are also inextricably linked. The iron rice bowl passed down from generation to generation has led to the fact that most of these imperial doctors are quacks.
In addition, the practice of medicine, especially traditional Chinese medicine, requires not only inheritance, but also a lot of practical experience. Only with rich medical experience can one slowly become a qualified traditional Chinese medicine doctor.
This iron rice bowl has been passed down from generation to generation, and the Taiyuan Hospital has many strict regulations. How much experience do you expect them to have?
The number of patients they have seen in their lifetime is not even as many as those they would have seen in ten and a half months. There is no experience at all.
Therefore, in the capital, dignitaries would not hire any imperial doctor, but would hire doctors from various medical clinics in the capital. These doctors are actually more skilled and reliable in their medical skills.
This also led to the emergence of a phenomenon, that is, the imperial doctors of the imperial hospital rarely had any additional income other than the iron rice bowl passed down from their ancestors.
Originally, treating high-ranking officials would definitely be considered a fat job.
A casual reward from a dignitary will make more money than a hundred or a thousand ordinary patients. This is an extremely important income.
The doctors at the imperial hospital do not have this income, so they will naturally think of increasing their income from other aspects, such as reselling the precious medicinal materials purchased as tribute from various places, among other things, just the ginseng that North Korea pays as tribute every year.
Each one comes out with a big number.
In addition, these imperial doctors are also extremely easy to be bribed. Several emperors in the Ming Dynasty[] died in mysterious circumstances. It is difficult for the imperial doctors to escape the involvement, and it is very likely that they were bribed.
Like classmate Zhu Houzhao in history, he just fell into the water and died like this when he was in his early thirties. Do you think this is normal?
Many of the systems formulated by Comrade Lao Zhu at the beginning were very good, but the system of imperial doctors harmed his descendants a lot. In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the political situation was turbulent, which had a lot to do with the emperor's short life.
The emperors of the Qing Dynasty in later generations lived longer than the last. A lot of the emperors of the Ming Dynasty were in their thirties and forties. There were many emperors in the Qing Dynasty who were in their sixties and seventies. Qianlong even lived to be eighty.
Nine years old.
There are two factors for this. One is that the imperial doctors of Qianqing are all famous doctors carefully selected from all over the country, with extremely rich experience and superb medical skills. The other is that the Western colonists came to the East and brought
Many Western medicines and Western medicine.
Another reason is that the ancestors of Emperor Qingqing were very far-sighted and formulated some systems from diet to all aspects of life. For example, when eating, no matter how much you like to eat, you can't eat more than three bites. There are strict limits on the amount of food you can eat at each meal.
Restrictions and regulations.
For example, in that aspect, the emperor of Qingqing always turned over the cards and had a time limit. Generally, once more than ten minutes passed, the eunuch would say that the time was up, and then carry the person away.
This prevented these emperors from overindulging in enjoyment, but the emperors of the Ming Dynasty had no restrictions in this regard. Many emperors actually indulged in excessive enjoyment. Like Zhu Houzhao in history, the fact that he had no heirs had a lot to do with this.
Of course, although the ancestral family laws are strict, people may not abide by them later on.
The emperors of the late Qing Dynasty liked to hide in the Old Summer Palace in order to avoid the family law of their ancestors. This also led to the emperor's lifespan being greatly shortened in the middle and late periods, but it was still much better than that of the Ming Dynasty.
It can be seen that a system has an extremely far-reaching impact on future generations. When rulers formulate some systems, they often need a long-term vision, otherwise it will bring disaster to the entire country, nation, and future generations.
(Ahem, I’m going too far~ I’m speaking from my own thoughts. History will bear witness to everything. For example, some so-called brick-and-mortar advocates now advocate open immigration. This is definitely a brainless policy that harms the country and the people.)
Qian Hui and his apprentice Zhang Jing hurried to the Liu Mansion, and were led by servants to a side hall. When they arrived, they discovered that there were many people here, and many of them were colleagues from the capital.
"Doctor Qian~"
Someone saw Qian Hui and quickly said hello with a smile.
"Doctor Li~"
"Doctor Zhang~"
"Doctor Song~"
Qian Hui also smiled and returned greetings to everyone one by one. Although the doctor is a doctor, because he has to read medical books, he is actually half a scholar. He has been considered to have status and status since ancient times.
"Doctor Li, something big happened to Liu Shilang's family. They actually called everyone here. Many of them have never seen them before. Could they be famous doctors from other places?"
Qian came back to Li Tong, whom he knew well, and asked in a low voice.
"I don't know either. After we arrived, they just invited us to drink tea and didn't ask us to see a doctor or anything."
"In addition, these are famous doctors from all over the world. Some are from Tianjin, some are from Shanxi, Shandong, and even some from Jiangnan and Huguang. Liu Shilang sent people to spend a lot of money to invite them to the capital."
Li Tong also replied in a low voice.
All those who came were famous doctors, many of whom were even famous throughout the Ming Dynasty.
"This... seems to be some kind of incurable disease."
After Qian Hui heard this, he also said in a low voice.
"No one knows, but there must be something going on to invite everyone here."
Li Tong also nodded quietly and replied.
Just when everyone was getting impatient, Liu Jin walked over with a smile on his face.
This made Li Tong, Qian Hui and others confused again. What did Liu Jin mean? He invited everyone over. This was obviously something, but what the hell is that with a smile on your face?
"Doctors, I'm really sorry. Something was delayed just now and I kept everyone waiting for a long time."
Liu Jin looked at the doctors present. They were all at least thirty or forty years old, and some were even fifty or sixty years old. Obviously, in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, if you want to become a famous doctor, you must have time and experience.
Just accumulate.
"You're welcome, Mr. Liu~"
Everyone quickly replied in unison.
Treating high-ranking officials and dignitaries is not an easy task. If you do well, you will be rewarded a lot of money. If you do not do well, you may even lose your life. Therefore, as a doctor, it is very important to treat high-ranking officials and dignitaries.
Be careful, even when you speak, you have to be extremely cautious, and sometimes a sentence has to be circuitous. If you don't have any culture and experience, you won't be able to understand it, and you won't be able to hear the deep meaning.
"All the doctors are miracle doctors from all over the Ming Dynasty. They have superb medical skills and rich experience."
"I have called everyone here today because I actually have a major matter that I want to discuss with you. I hope you can give us your support and help."
Liu Jin smiled, then thought about it and said.
Naturally, these people were invited here not for medical treatment, but for the medical school that Liu Jin had always wanted to establish.
Traditional Chinese medicine is not impossible, but its inheritance is not easy. Although there are many medical books handed down, the methods that Chinese medicine relies on to diagnose patients are relatively limited.
In addition, traditional Chinese medicine often relies on oral administration and is relatively backward in surgical operations. For many diseases that can be easily solved by surgery, traditional Chinese medicine often has no solution.
For diseases like appendicitis, in later generations, this operation will be fine. However, traditional Chinese medicine has no solution and has great limitations.
The establishment of a medical school is not only for the inheritance of medical skills and research on surgery, but more importantly for the development of medicine, which can also promote the development of science and technology.
For example, the development of chemistry, life sciences, medicine, etc., are inseparable from medicine. In addition, various medical instruments and the like are also inseparable from this.
People who have no long-term worries must have immediate worries. The conditions for medical skills in ancient times were limited. It was for your own sake to establish a medical school early. If you had some minor illness that day, you could be better treated.
