This is the first time that Man Bao has gone to court for such a long time, and this is not the first time for Xiao Yuanzheng. Although the imperial physician cannot participate in politics, sometimes when the emperor is sick and the government is unstable, as the imperial physician, he has to go to court.
Answer the words of the ministers to calm your mind.
However, this was the second time for him to hold such a big court meeting. The first time was when the emperor ascended the throne. At that time, no matter whether he was an imperial doctor or not, he had to stand down to receive the ceremony.
Man Bao originally walked with her head held high, but when she arrived at the entrance of the hall, she saw Xiao Yuan lowering his head slightly. She thought for a moment, then also lowered her head and walked in.
Both of them had something in their arms. After entering the hall, they first put the things at their feet and then saluted the emperor.
The emperor waved his hand, exempting them from the courtesy, and asked: "Zhou Man, are you going to impeach Wang Ji and leave Liang Fei and others to die without food?"
Man Bao immediately responded "Yes."
The emperor pointed at Wang Ji who was not far away from her and said, "But Wang Ji has defended himself. You answer him."
Wang Ji's question is not difficult to answer. She consulted Dr. Lu for medical advice, and also practiced medicine with Dr. Ji and Mrs. Fan. Later, she learned a lot from Dr. Ding and Shopkeeper Zheng. Even now, she still
You can learn skills from the doctors in the imperial hospital.
She knows very well how difficult it is for a person to study medicine.
The reason why she has gone so smoothly is because she has Keke, and behind Keke there is Encyclopedia and Teacher Mo.
Teacher Mo taught her a lot of things, and the books in the encyclopedia can be purchased as long as you have points. Only by relying on those books, relying on the things Teacher Mo taught her, and the various prescriptions that he found for her, was she able to
He exchanged medical skills with other doctors.
So the path she took was not the path that ordinary doctors would take.
But this doesn't mean that she doesn't know how difficult it is for an ordinary doctor to become a doctor.
The most typical example is her fifth sister-in-law's grandfather, Dr. Lu. He worked as a medicine boy for nearly twenty years before he could learn a few prescriptions and some basic medical knowledge from his master. It took him another seven or eight years to accumulate some knowledge.
After gaining experience, he returned to the village and became a doctor himself.
Most of the medicines he uses are collected in the mountains and concocted by himself.
Sister-in-law Wu told Man Bao that when she was a child, her grandfather was very careful when preparing medicinal materials. Because the medicinal materials were not processed well and were not toxic, prescribing the medicine to patients not only failed to cure them, but also harmed them.
But no matter how careful he is, he can still do harm to others.
Basically, Dr. Lu can only treat a few diseases. For more serious diseases, he can only send people to the county seat, and wait for the county doctor to write a prescription. Next time, he will give people medicine according to that prescription, or increase or decrease it.
Some.
In the past, Man Bao thought that Dr. Lu was very powerful, but after seeing the prescriptions prescribed by Dr. Ji, Dr. Ding and others, she realized that there are actually many ways to treat a disease, and better prescriptions can be given.
.
Old doctor Lu is like this, Zheng Shao is a branch of the Zheng family, and the situation is not much better. He is like an emperor, and he relies on hard work, but even then, he can only work as a medicine boy by her side when he is sixteen or seventeen.
According to the rules, he had to be his medicine boy for at least ten years before she would pick out some prescriptions and diseases and teach him. Once he learned it, he would have to stay and work in Jishi Hall for several years before he could be released.
When the time comes, it will be up to him to decide whether to set up his own business or continue to stay in Jishi Hall.
But no matter which one it is, with his talent, it is impossible for him to be very powerful, because no doctor will be willing to waste too much time on him.
There will be more talented people besides him, as well as their own children and nephews who need to be trained. Why should they spend so much effort on an ordinary medicine boy?
Wang Ji compared ordinary apprentices to the students of the Imperial Medical Office, which was inherently unreasonable.
Anyway, everyone is standing in the court hall. She had breakfast cooked by her sister-in-law this morning. She also ate a lot of snacks just now. She is full and full. Let's talk about it slowly.
So Man Bao started from Dr. Lu to Zheng Shao, and used them as examples to tell the emperor and ministers about the time it takes for apprentices to learn and what they can learn.
She said: "A person's life span is only a few decades. How long can a person live? According to the Ministry of Household Affairs, it is only a mere fifty-two years. However, they need about thirty years to study, but their income is not enough.
It's just superficial medical knowledge. I dare to ask Mr. Wang, is there anything else in this world that is more valuable than time?"
"As for the teaching at the Imperial Medical Office, students start teaching "Pulse Jue", "Compendium of Materia Medica", "Ming Tang" and "Su Wen" as soon as they enter school. The medicinal materials they need to recognize are bought by the Imperial Medical Office, and they prepare the medicinal materials they need.
Herbal medicines and materials are also provided by our Imperial Medical Office. They don’t need to please their master or master, and they don’t need to observe carefully to learn knowledge that would take ordinary apprentices ten or even fifteen years to gain access to.”
"Some people can't even learn things in their whole life, but the Imperial Medical Office will teach them." Man Bao glanced at Wang Ji and said: "Why do people in the world regard scholars as valuable and noble families as respected? It's because you have a lot of money.
Or is it because you have a lot of land? Is it because you are so proud of the books that you dare not throw away even in troubled times and wars? "
Xiao Yuanzheng felt something was wrong and coughed twice. However, Manbao was too preoccupied to pay attention to him, so he inadvertently said directly: "If Mr. Wang still doesn't understand, just think about how the children of the aristocratic family are.
Reading, how the children from poor families study, and how the common people study, we understand how valuable the knowledge taught to them by the Imperial Medical Office is."
Everyone understood in an instant that the Imperial Medical Office was equivalent to the Imperial College, and whether the people it admitted were "children of aristocratic families", "children of poor families" or "common people" who knew nothing about it, they all taught the same, and they were all taught the same thing.
Taught them the skill.
Moreover, looking at the enrollment of the Imperial Medical Office this time, most of the students recruited are from "poor families" and "common people". Many of them have never been exposed to medicine before, and some of them don't even know the word.
If this really happened among the gentry, officials like them would naturally not allow it, but this is in the Xinglin world, and they might be considered "poor" in the eyes of the doctors, so they relaxed the restrictions and it was beneficial.
But it's them.
Wang Ji was not stupid, so of course he understood. Zhou Man was telling him that the most valuable thing in the Imperial Medical Office was the medical doctors who taught, it was the knowledge in their heads.
But just because he understood it didn't mean he wanted to reconcile with Zhou Man. Then wouldn't he have lost and admitted that he was a vegetarian?
So he said with a straight face: "I join the Imperial Medical Office to make money. Medicine is rare. Can your Imperial Medical Office set a high price for making money?"
Man Bao glanced at him, took out a book from the materials on the ground and said, "Okay, since you want to discuss the cost, then I will have a good discussion with you."
