In addition, as the Ming Dynasty colonizes the world, various diseases and infectious diseases from all over the world will slowly spread to the Ming Dynasty.
Without a strong medical system, a huge empire is likely to be defeated by a small disease.
In this regard, the native Indians of America are the best illustration.
Because they have been separated from other continents for a long time, the Indians have no immunity to the smallpox virus. With the arrival of European colonists, the smallpox virus was brought to the Americas.
European colonists in history even deliberately spread the smallpox virus in the Americas. The smallpox virus easily defeated the Indians in the Americas. Millions or tens of millions of Indians died.
The smallpox virus allowed European colonists to easily occupy this paradise.
The European colonists were different. Their medical skills and technology were relatively more developed. Chickenpox and syphilis in the Americas were also spread to Europe.
Although it also had some impact on Europe at first, thanks to more advanced medical skills and technology, Europeans quickly controlled these diseases, and the situation in the Americas did not occur.
The global colonization of the Ming Dynasty can bring huge wealth and vast land to the Ming Dynasty. It also brings huge challenges to the Ming Dynasty. If the medical technology is not improved, maybe in the future, like the Indians, they will be killed by some kind of
Devastated by a terrible disease.
Liu Jin, who came from a later generation, had a clear understanding of this.
When he was in Nanyang, Liu Jin encountered situations where he was not acclimatized to the climate and the climate when he was marching and fighting. Fighting in tropical areas required him to withstand various tests.
At this time, the fighting resulted in casualties, and traditional Chinese medicine could not treat them well. This made Liu Jin feel that he should set up a medical school as soon as possible and establish a complete medical system and medical system.
"If Mr. Liu has any orders, please speak as soon as possible. As long as we can do it, we will try our best to do it."
Someone and everyone looked at each other and stood up and said.
"In calling everyone here this time, it's not actually that anyone in my house needs medical treatment."
Liu Jin smiled and nodded, then thought for a while and said: "This time I led the army to march south and fought in the Nanyang region. Many of my Ming soldiers were unwell and suffered from many diseases."
"At this time, there were casualties on the battlefield. Many soldiers who could have been saved were killed because they did not receive timely and effective treatment."
"With this in mind, I also want to establish a Daming Medical College. I have called all the miracle doctors here to discuss with you how to establish this medical school, how to recruit students, how to teach, and more importantly
How to establish a complete medical system, create new medical fields and treatment methods, etc."
Hearing Liu Jin's words, everyone was slightly shocked. They were called here not to treat illnesses, but to establish some kind of medical school.
This makes it very difficult for everyone.
The inheritance of traditional Chinese medicine is passed down from father to son, from son to grandson, or from master to apprentice. It is different from large-scale teaching like private schools, and because it involves prescriptions, many prescriptions are exclusive to some traditional Chinese medicine doctors.
, things that are not meant to be spread outside, are extremely precious to see.
There is no problem if you ask everyone to come and see a doctor, but if you ask everyone to build a medical school and share what they have accumulated for generations to build a medical school, people will naturally be unhappy.
"Liu Gong, this matter of establishing a medical school is very important and requires very exquisite medical skills. I am very talented and have little knowledge, so I am afraid it will be difficult for me to participate. If there is nothing else, I will resign first."
Some people stood up on the spot and wanted to leave.
You just came here to entertain people. You came all the way to pick me up for some kind of medical school. Who knows what you had in mind in establishing this medical school.
Everyone calls you the God of Wealth. You must be trying to get rich by relying on this medical school.
The recipes passed down from generation to generation are priceless treasures. You want us to use them to make you rich? Are you dreaming?
Of course, this is just what many people think, and it is impossible to say it in front of Liu Jin.
But almost no one present had any interest in establishing a so-called medical school.
For famous doctors like them, they need to be famous. Many of them are known as miracle doctors in the local area. Money is needed. Will doctors who have been doctors since ancient times have no money?
Since I won't get any benefits, why bother spending time and energy playing with you Liu Jin?
"That's okay~"
"Take this miracle doctor down to collect one hundred taels of silver~"
Liu Jin looked at the other party, smiled and nodded, just forget it if you don't want to, don't force it.
In fact, I have been mentally prepared for this from the beginning. It is very difficult for doctors of this era to study new fields. Traditional Chinese medicine almost always repeats the path of its predecessors, and few people can do it.
breakthrough.
What's more, the medical school established by Liu Jin will definitely have surgery, and medical anatomy is absolutely indispensable. For doctors in this period, what would they do?
But without medical anatomy, you have no way to have a detailed understanding of the human body. Surgery is out of the question. How should medical technology develop?
In this feudal era that pays attention to etiquette, civil defense and many other things, ideological constraints are extremely serious, but in medicine, it is necessary to break this constraints.
Regardless of the reluctance of the older generation, Liu Jin still needs to start training from young people, or even from pure beginners, so that he can conduct better research and improvement without the constraints of ideas.
"Mr. Liu~"
"I am also very inexperienced and I am afraid that I will not be able to do the job, so I will resign~"
When others saw it, many people also stood up and resigned to Liu Jin. Only five people stayed, including Li Tong and Qian Hui.
They are making a living here in the capital. Liu Jin has a huge influence in the Beijing-Tianjin area. Even if they want to leave, they can't be in such a hurry. They are still prepared to take a look first.
Liu Jin didn't care about the person who was leaving, so he asked his servants to take him down and collect a hundred taels of silver and send him back.
"A few of you haven't left, so you must be more interested in my proposal?"
Liu Jin was still very disappointed in his heart. These doctors at this time were indeed disappointing. They had no enterprising spirit, and they were worried that others would covet their prescriptions and medical skills.
But there are still five people left, more or less a few people.
"Liu Gong, I am indeed very interested in your proposal. We in the medical community have always treasured it. In fact, many people know about a prescription, but each one is regarded as a family heirloom, and outsiders cannot even take a look at it.
.”
"There are also very few exchanges of medical skills between each other. The inheritance is passed down from father to son, from master to apprentice. In addition, there are few opportunities for exchanges between peers and joint research to treat diseases."
"A long time ago, I actually wanted to open a school that specializes in teaching medical skills like a private school, but I had no choice but to be humble and weak, so I couldn't realize it."
"Now that I heard that Mr. Liu wants to establish Daming Medical College, I am very excited and willing to come and work."
A man who looked to be in his forties stood up and said. He seemed a little excited at this time.
"May I ask your surname?"
When Liu Jin heard this, he quickly and respectfully said that in this era, those who are willing to share what they have learned and researched are truly selfless people with the world in mind.
In fact, many famous doctors in history were not popular at the time. For example, Li Shizhen, who was famous in the history of the Ming Dynasty, studied medical skills from various people and even secretly learned medical skills.
This was definitely a taboo at the time, but he was devoted to public service, collected various prescriptions, studied various medical techniques, and finally wrote the medical classics "Compendium of Materia Medica" and "Compendium of Materia Medica" that were passed down to later generations.
"Hu Medicine" and "Eight Meridians of Qi Jing" were passed down to later generations.
Such people are truly sages, people who truly care about the world, and are very worthy of respect.
The doctor in front of him actually had such a heart, which made Liu Jin admire him very much, and he quickly asked respectfully.
"Don't dare~"
"I'm at Wuyuntu in Qingzhou!"
The other party quickly returned the greeting and said.
"Mr. Wu, please sit down~"
Liu Jin said politely, and then said to the other four people: "I haven't asked you for the names of the miracle doctors~"
When the others heard this, they quickly replied one by one.
Li Tong, Qian Hui, Zhang Zhigang, Li Anyuan, Li Tong and Qian Hui are doctors from the capital, Zhang Zhigang is from Cangzhou in name, and Li Anyuan is a famous doctor from Huguang.
"What Mr. Wu said is actually what I want to say."
"The inheritance and exchange of our medical skills have always been very limited. The medical skills we have inherited for thousands of years have not made much progress and development until now. In fact, many elixirs and medical skills have been lost because of the preciousness of the broom.
This has to be said to be a very regrettable thing.”
"Liu Gong has always liked to spend money to build various academies. I have already heard about it, such as shipbuilding academies, military academies, maritime academies, etc. Because of Liu Gong's support, the establishment of these academies has greatly promoted
It has contributed to the development of shipbuilding, military and maritime affairs in Ming Dynasty."
"I have been waiting for Mr. Liu to establish a medical school to promote the development of Ming medicine, study various arts, and treat various diseases."
"Now that the wait has finally come, I was very excited when I heard what Liu Gong said."
Zhang Zhigang from Cangzhou also said with some excitement.
His words also made Liu Jin couldn't help but sigh, there are always people in this world who care about the world and have the heart of a saint.
"Establish a mind for the heaven and the earth, establish a life for the people, carry on the unique teachings for the saints, and create peace for all generations!"
After hearing what they said, Liu Jin stood up excitedly and said.
