Zhu Qizhen thought for a long time, making secret calculations in his heart.
Of course he knew about the shortcomings of the Taiyuan Hospital, but he was too busy fighting in the north and south to care about it.
Now that the land has been reformed, the imperial examination has been reformed, and the maritime ban has been lifted, it is time to develop medicine.
When such a situation occurs in the Royal Imperial Hospital, the problem must start from the root.
At the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Zhu Yuanzhang came up with a brilliant idea in order to quickly stabilize the situation in the world-the household registration system.
This was an unprecedentedly strict household registration and taxation system. It was not only the basis for the imperial court to collect taxes and servitude, but also became a tool for organizing production, controlling the people, and strengthening rule during the Ming Dynasty for hundreds of years.
The Central Plains has experienced wars for a long time and has long been miserable. Even Yangzhou, known as the land of plenty, has become empty of houses.
In order to restore economic development and stabilize social order as soon as possible, it is necessary to collect household registration statistics across the country as soon as possible.
So Zhu Yuanzhang ordered to verify household registrations across the country, rectify household registrations, create yellow books, and strengthen tax and labor management.
The yellow registration system is more detailed than the previous household registration system. It records each household's hometown, name, age, address, land and property, and assets in detail. The household registration is divided into civilian, military and craftsman according to occupation.
Great status.
In addition to civilian households, there are also Confucian, medical, Yin and Yang households.
In addition to military households, military status also includes captains, warriors, bowmen, soldiers, etc.
Craftsmanship is a registered handicraft household.
In addition, there is a Zao register to register salt-making households.
In order to control the population loss, Zhu Yuanzhang specifically stipulated that the household registration could not be changed at will, and he ordered the four civil affairs to stick to their own professions. Doctors and diviners were indigenous and were not allowed to travel far away.
If there is anyone who does not work in farming but only in farming, he will be regarded as a vagrant and he will be arrested.
Under this system, farmers will be firmly tied to the land and will be farmers for generations.
If only from the perspective of agricultural recovery and development, the household registration system is beneficial. However, from a long-term development perspective, it does more harm than good.
Farmers have been farmers for generations, craftsmen have been craftsmen for generations, and military households have been in the army for generations. The whole society is like a pool of stagnant water, without any vitality. How can we talk about development?
It is enough that the farmers have been farmers for generations, but the craftsmen and doctors must also be hereditary, which is very unreasonable.
Especially for medical practitioners, if they are not talented enough or have poor academic skills, they have to go out to see patients. Isn't this a joke?
Therefore, once Zhu Qizhen had his hands free, he immediately took action on the household registration.
Beginning in the 18th year of Orthodoxy, the household registration system was officially abolished. Farmers were no longer tied to the land. They could learn a craft, become a craftsman, work in a workshop, or do business, without any restrictions from the court.
Those who practice medicine are no longer hereditary. If you are interested, you can study medicine. If you are not interested, you can do whatever you like. The court doesn't care anyway.
Other non-medical students can also study medicine, and it is entirely their own choice.
In this way, it not only enriches the labor force in society, but also completely eliminates the unreasonable places in the past.
The household registration system for people all over the world has been abolished, but the imperial hospital is still a hereditary system, and this has not changed.
For ordinary people, whether they want to learn medicine or not depends entirely on their own will. However, the Imperial Hospital is a formal institution of the imperial court, and the imperial doctors also have their own rank!
For example, Wang Sizu, the leader of the courtyard, is the fifth grade of Zhenger Ba Jing.
Even if he is the magistrate of the county, he is only a seventh grader. When he meets Dr. Wang, he still has to address him as the head of the hospital.
Moreover, this position can also be hereditary!
In other words, after Wang Sizu retires, he can let his son continue to serve as the head of the academy.
No matter how good his son's medical skills are, even if he is rotten into a piece of shit, he is still the head of the hospital.
Zhu Qizhen thought for a long time. This system is extremely unreasonable. It’s time to take action!
"Wynn!"
"The slave is here!"
"Look at who is on duty in the cabinet and call them all over. Also, call the Minister of Staff!"
"yes!"
Huaien left in a hurry, and after a while, Cao Nai, Zhang Yi, Yu Qian and Wang Wensheng, the official minister, came to see him.
After the four people greeted each other, Cao Nai took the lead and said: "Your Majesty, I heard that the Queen Mother is seriously ill. Are you feeling better?"
Zhu Qizhen said: "Thank you for your concern, it's all right."
After hearing this, Cao Nai felt as if he was relieved and said, "That's good. The Queen Mother will be blessed with great blessings, and she will definitely be able to turn danger into safety."
Zhu Qizhen did not hesitate and went straight to the point: "I have summoned all of you to come here to discuss something."
Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and they were all surprised.
When did the Emperor consult with someone when he was doing something?
"Your Majesty, please speak!"
Zhu Qizhen said sternly: "Tell me, what is the level of Tai Hospital?"
"Too hospital..."
Cao Nai looked at the other three people, all of them looked confused.
"I have worked diligently and abide by my duties over the years... I wonder what your Majesty would like to ask?"
Zhu Qizhen shook his head and said: "The Queen Mother suddenly fainted today. It was due to phlegm syndrome. Wang Sizu was helpless. In the end, a palace maid came up with a folk remedy and saved the Queen Mother. Tell me, this
What's the matter?"
"this……"
Cao Nai looked very confused and hesitated: "Until it is verified whether the folk remedies are effective, Doctor Wang will definitely not dare to try them easily, especially since the Queen Mother has a rich body, so she must be more cautious."
"snort!"
When Zhu Qizhen heard that Cao Nai was excusing the hospital, he became very angry.
"They are imperial doctors. Since they know there are folk remedies, why don't they go check it out?"
"Even if it's not an imperial doctor, but a country doctor, if you learn about a new prescription, you should be careful to verify it, right?"
"But Taiyuan Hospital is so unwilling to make progress, and would rather not do anything than make a mistake. This kind of person deserves to die!"
Seeing that the emperor was angry, Cao Nai didn't know what to do for a while.
At this time, Yu Qian said: "Your Majesty, calm down. I want to come to Tai Hospital for stability. I don't dare to introduce new things easily."
"Looking for stability?"
Zhu Qizhen sneered and continued: "Look at the Academy of Sciences, there are new results coming out every day. Could it be that all those new things come out of the ground by themselves?"
"I only stick to the old rules, don't learn new theories, don't seek verification, and still seek stability. In my opinion, this is a typical example of neglect!"
"Are you going to wait until one day when I suddenly fall ill, and then the hospital says there is nothing they can do, and you just wait to take care of my funeral?"
"Your Majesty, calm down!"
The four of them knelt in a row, not daring to express their anger.
"I'm talking about the hospital's inaction. I don't blame you. Get up!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
The four of them stood up slowly, but this time they were all honest and did not dare to talk nonsense again.
Cao Nai secretly pulled Yu Qian's sleeve, roughly saying that you have a good relationship with the emperor, so tell me.
Yu Qian had no choice but to say: "Since the Taiyuan Hospital is suspected of neglecting government affairs, may I ask the emperor how to deal with it?"
Zhu Qizhen did not answer, but asked: "What do you think?"
