Xiao Yuanzheng was not very concerned about whether he could accept enough female disciples. Originally, except for Zhou Man, the Imperial Medical Office was all male, so it was naturally better to teach male students.
Since there are not enough female students, it would be better to replace them all with male students. He originally thought that a ratio of 8:2 would be the best.
But the queen opened her mouth, and the prince indulged himself. Even Mr. Yang helped Zhou Man by saying a few words, and then he agreed to the ratio of 7:3.
The registration deadline was about to end, and he never expected that the palace would directly send more than seventy maids for reference.
The female official who sent them over smiled and said: "The empress said that as long as they pass the examination of the Imperial Medical Office, they will be released from their citizenship and they will be members of the Imperial Medical Office from now on, so Xiao Yuanzheng can rest assured that the palace will not interfere."
Xiao Yuanzheng guessed that this was Zhou Man's doing, so he could only agree with a forced smile. After accepting the person, he turned around and ran to settle the score with Zhou Man.
But Zhou Man didn't think he was wrong, "After all, this is the first year of enrollment. What if there aren't enough people recruited?"
Xiao Yuan was trembling his lips and said: "Do you still think that we have not recruited enough people? Have you ever thought about how many doctors there are in the Imperial Hospital? Everyone has to work in the Imperial Hospital and go to the Imperial Medical Office on weekdays.
Do you know how tired you are from having so many classes?"
"This is not just one year. We will recruit students next year, and we will recruit students the year after that..."
Man Bao said: "If we don't have enough, just recruit people. Didn't you say that? Normally, the doctors in the Imperial Hospital are too busy and have no hope of advancement. Isn't this why intrigues are unavoidable? It's great now, everyone is busy.
I still get double salary."
Although there is no career field for being a doctor in the Imperial Medical Office, there is a salary, which is quite a lot.
Xiao Yuan was choked and asked: "When did I say this?"
"Why didn't you mention it? I heard you and Dr. Liu whispering about it when His Majesty's fever persisted."
Xiao Yuanzheng: "...you have really good ears."
Man Bao: "I'm sleeping on the wooden couch next to me. I just didn't sleep to death."
Xiao Yuanzheng waved his head with a headache and said, "Okay, I'm about to take the exam, so you can't give me any trouble."
Manbao promised, "Don't worry, I won't let anyone take the exam after I've proctored it. Since you want to study medicine, you must be suitable."
After all, the number of years is not short. If someone who is not suitable is recruited, it will not only harm the family, but also harm their Imperial Medical Office, right?
The exams are divided into subjects, and there are many types. Those in the physical therapy department must be literate, so they have a written test on the first day. Not only do they have to write, they also have to test some very basic medical science, such as "You see someone on the street with red face and ears and red eyes."
His eyes are red, what do you think is his problem?" and other common sense tests.
Although it is a general knowledge test, there are still many people who cannot answer the questions. Man Bao cannot understand it very well, but Doctor Liu is used to it. "We look easy because we have learned it, but some children can't even connect two sticks of wood."
Neither of them knows how to put the sticks together."
Man Bao said: "But they are literate."
Doctor Liu shook his head and smiled without saying anything.
Because of this, Zhou Liru's results were pretty good. After all, she had studied medicine for a long time and basically knew all the medicinal herbs.
Of course, there are many people who are as good as her and have basically passed the level. Most of them are from Xinglin House and have been exposed to medicine before.
Man Bao graded the paper and found that Zhou Liru could be ranked within thirty, but was outside twenty. In front of her, there were two little girls who were better than her.
This requires literacy and written tests. Those that do not require literacy and written tests are taken by the gentlemen one by one. Of course, there are five gentlemen sitting on top each time, and one person goes in. The gentlemen take turns asking and answering questions, and then based on their answers
Score, and finally combine the scores before admission.
The imperial doctors were very down-to-earth. They took some herbs that can be seen everywhere in the countryside and asked people who came in if they recognized what kind of grass they were, had they been used before, and how were they used?
Or ask, have you ever been sick before, have you seen a doctor, what disease did you have, and do you remember how it was treated?
Or, some doctors take action directly and ask him what the acupoint is called, whether he has experienced any pain, and what he did if he felt pain.
Manbao posed a lot of puzzles, such as a cow's tail is on fire, what should you do?
Not to mention the candidates, even the examiners didn't know what to do. While the students were leaving, they turned to Man Bao and asked, "What is the answer to this question?"
Man Bao shook his head, "There is no answer. I just asked, curious about what they would do."
Xiao Yuanzheng and others:...
In addition, the most favorite thing that imperial doctors like to ask is arithmetic questions, such as Chuanqiong one liang and twenty-eight articles. A patient needs to buy Chuanqiong eight liang. How much does it cost in total?
Questions like these almost drove both literate and illiterate candidates crazy.
The exam lasted for five days in total. There was no way around it. Many candidates were really illiterate, so they could only take the exam face-to-face instead of a written exam.
I have seen them one by one, so naturally they are slower.
Basically, those who have a medical background are rushing to physical therapy, acupuncture and sores. The competition is really fierce. As for other departments, most of them have zero foundation. They can only choose those who are smarter and more suitable.
people are selected.
For example, massage requires strong hands. In the end, only two girls were selected for the class of twenty people.
To the surprise of Xiao Yuanzheng and others, most of the young maids from the palace took the acupuncture exam. Man Bao persuaded them that there were not so many people to choose for acupuncture, so they dispersed to choose other subjects.
That's why we didn't kill each other.
For five days in a row, Man Bao was almost exhausted and talked too much. After returning home, he took out some dried chrysanthemums and soaked them in water to drink.
Mingda and Changyu secretly went to the East Palace to play with her, and sat cross-legged on her bed to talk to her, "I heard from the little palace maid who returned to the palace that you asked many people, if you saw someone falling into the water,
"Here, what are you going to do? As a result, you didn't hire many people who said they wouldn't save them. Some people said they would jump into the water to save them, but you didn't hire them either. How did you choose them?"
Man Bao held a tea cup and drank chrysanthemum water, and said: "This is not one question, but many questions. I also asked them if they knew how to swim and whether they had ever been in the water. Wouldn't it cause trouble if they didn't know how to swim but jumped in to save people?
?A life was wasted."
"If you don't want to save people, you can call for help. Look around for sticks. You can also give them a try by placing a stick to pull them up."
Changyu was puzzled, "What do these questions have to do with being a doctor? I feel that the questions you asked are so confusing. I heard that Xiao Yuanzheng also asked people, if you don't eat for three days, a pot of meat and a pot of vegetables are placed on the
In front of you, do you choose to eat meat or vegetables."
Man Bao said: "Doctors must have a benevolent heart and turn around and leave. Those who do not save people are not advisable."
