Autumn is getting thicker, and even the cold air of winter occasionally appears. Under this situation, relatives and friends in the capital sent the adult family and Mr. Bai out of the city. Watching them go away, Lao Zhou's family began to disperse.
Let's go and do whatever we need to do.
Lao Zhoutou took Zhou Dalang and his eldest daughter-in-law to Pucun, watching the tenants fertilizing their wheat before winter, and watching their farm being built bit by bit.
The village built by this village was bigger and more beautiful than their own house. Of course, it also cost a lot.
Even though it was cheaper to hire craftsmen this year due to the drought, it still cost a lot of money.
Fortunately, what Zhuangzi built was indeed quite beautiful. Man Bao selected a lot of flowers and plants from home and outside and gave them to Zhou Dalang to plant. He also had the support of Liu Huan, Yin You and others.
Even Mingda and Changyu, who knew she wanted to dress up, brought two pots of flowers from the imperial garden to her. Everyone knew that she liked flowers and plants, especially some rare ones that she had not seen before.
When Manbao started to put on her clothes and go in and out of the palace, she heard that her village had been built. Unfortunately, she couldn't go see it because she was too busy.
Even on holidays, she was not very free. The Imperial Medical Office had been built, and the prince officially issued an enrollment order in the name of the East Palace.
It has been almost four months since the news came out in June, and interested doctors from all over the country have arrived in the capital in advance to wait.
Some sent their children and grandchildren to take the exam, while others packed their own bags to take the exam.
However, before applying for the exam, the Imperial Medical Office posted a notice containing the requirements for students.
The Imperial Medical Office does not limit the students’ previous status, but they must have good status when applying. Those who have completed their studies must have worked in various medical offices (including Imperial Hospital and Imperial Medical Office) for fifteen years. After fifteen years, they must leave
The medical offices run by the imperial court should continue to operate on a voluntary basis.
Every year, the Imperial Medical Office takes exams, and only those who pass the exam can be promoted to the next level. Those who fail to repeat the grade, and those who repeat more than three times are advised to quit, and then they must serve under the Medical Office for the same number of years as studying.
For example, if you studied in the Imperial Medical Office for five years, you would have to serve in a local medical office for five years to repay it.
Of course, there are exceptions, such as a sudden change in the family or the death of a close person, and the requirements will be relaxed and exempted from military service.
The announcement not only contains requirements for students, but also requirements for the Imperial Medical Office.
The Imperial Medical Office must provide accommodation and study materials for the students who enter the school. Students are free to apply for medical offices in various places for half a year after completing their studies. Only those who have not found a medical office to accept them after half a year will be forcibly assigned by the Imperial Medical Office.
However, the people crowded under the bulletin board did not pay much attention to this item at this time. They all stared at the enrollment subjects and admissions details next to the announcement.
"Acupuncture only accepts eighty people? Isn't that too few?"
"There is quite a lot of acupuncture, but a system as big as physical therapy only accepts a hundred people, which is too few."
"There are only twenty children."
"There are only twenty people for massage and cursing."
"Tsk, after entering the Imperial Medical Office, who would learn massage?"
"You despise massage?"
"There are only forty people with sores and swelling."
"I want to go to physical therapy!"
"It's a nice thought. Physical therapy has the highest requirements. Does it mean you need to study for seven years?"
"Eight years, maybe. Didn't you see that there is still one more year of internship listed at the back?"
"Hey, you need to be literate to learn physical therapy. Others don't require you to be literate."
Xiao Yuan was standing above and listening to everyone's discussion. The veins on his forehead twitched. He turned around and said to Zhou Man: "I originally asked everyone to be literate, but it was you and His Highness who slandered me. Only then did I have to be literate for physical therapy. You
I don’t even think about it. Other students will have to start with literacy teaching when they come in. Do you know how much time this will waste?”
Man Bao said: "People who are illiterate or less literate must always be given some opportunities, and isn't there an exam? Although opportunities are given, the exam is fair."
Of course, the examination of the Imperial Medical Office is not just a literary test, because some students are illiterate, or they are literate but do not know how to write, so the examination is divided into many types, and the students are selected only after the final comprehensive score.
Man Bao said: "Some people don't have the conditions to read and write, but they are not unintelligent. Medicine also depends on talent. Talented people will be slow at first if their basic skills are poor, but they will always catch up later."
She smiled at Xiao Yuanzheng and said: "You also said that studying medicine is a lifelong matter. We can't deny others the next 350 years just because of the first three to five years."
Xiao Yuanzheng muttered: "It's still thirty or fifty years. How long can a person live?"
However, he still agreed with Zhou Man's words, and even the other doctors in the Imperial Hospital had no objections.
Just look at them and Zhou Man to see how important talent is.
Even Dr. Lu, who didn't want to admit it in her heart, had to agree that Zhou Man's talent was much higher than theirs, which was why she was able to stand with them at such a young age.
After the announcement was posted, they began to wait for the exam. They, the imperial doctors, were all examiners.
Man Bao stood on top and watched. When she saw that there were only a few women among the large group of people, she sighed slightly and turned around to go back.
This time, the enrollment did not differentiate between men and women. In other words, girls could also apply, but there were requirements for the number of students. After the queen spoke, Man Bao could argue and set the ratio at 7:3.
Seeing that Manbao had been depressed for several days, Mr. Zhuang persuaded her with a smile, "You can't think of becoming fat in one bite. You have to do this slowly."
Manbao was still unhappy.
Bai Shan, who was eating fruit on the side, said, "You should think about what you will do if you can't even recruit 30% of the female students."
He said: "I took a look at your list, and there are only twelve girls applying now. Aren't you expecting to recruit ninety this time?"
Man Bao was agitated and immediately lost the air to be angry and frustrated. He asked with a headache: "What should we do? The queen has asked the yamen in Gyeonggi to publicize it, but there are still not many young ladies coming to apply."
Bai Shan scratched his head and asked, "How about we hire people to play gongs and drums to promote it everywhere?"
Man Bao thought for a while and found that there was no other way, so he nodded.
Bai Shandao: "For such a matter, we still have to go to Senior Brother Tang. He is the official of the parents. If he is willing to help us as a backer, the people will believe it even more."
He knocked on the bowl in front of Man Bao and said, "Eat quickly. After we finish eating, we will go find Senior Brother Tang."
Mr. Zhuang: ...So they still have to spend money to promote the Imperial Medical Office?
But looking at the happy Man Bao, Mr. Zhuang remained silent and said nothing.
After the two of them finished breakfast, they turned around to find Bai Erlang who was still lying in bed.
Bai Shan knocked on the door, but when he saw that he still didn't wake up, he couldn't help but push the door in. When he saw that he was rolled up in the quilt like a silkworm chrysalis, he couldn't help but reach out and ask, "Why don't you get up?"
