"Good guy, gynecology, acupuncture, typhoid fever, eyes, nose and throat, this covers 90% of patients."
Zhu Yixi is very satisfied with the complete training system of Taiyuan Hospital, but the selection scope is too small and the circle culture is too strong.
Basically, they are all the children of medical families, and they can train hundreds of people until they die. Coupled with the success rate, this is really too few for the huge population of the country.
Of course, you need to study to be a doctor. How many people want to study and become a doctor instead of becoming an official?
Coupled with the sect's opinions and the strict transmission of secret recipes, it is rare to find good doctors.
The reason why later generations put more emphasis on Western medicine is because the training of traditional Chinese medicine is too slow, and it is also self-involved. Medical doctors may be trained in large quantities.
Even if it cannot be cured, you can still take some medicine to relieve the pain and give you some psychological comfort.
The progress of Western medicine is actually attributed to the progress of science and technology.
At this time, how could he research those medicines?
Therefore, when Westerners currently use bloodletting for treatment, they can only use traditional Chinese medicine.
"The Taiyuan Hospital has made a great contribution this time."
The emperor thought about it for a while and said: "But this time we also saw the disadvantages, there are too few doctors."
"During the Chongzhen period, many people in Shaanxi, Shanxi, and Beizhili suffered heavy casualties due to the plague, which led to the erosion of the north and the rise of rebellion."
"This doctor is also related to the interests of the imperial court, and is what the people long for."
"Your Majesty?" Taiyuan was shocked, why the words sounded more and more wrong.
Our hospital serves the emperor, so why should we go to the countryside to serve ordinary people?
The past two years of vaccination have made them very anxious. Without the Imperial Hospital, what will happen if the emperor falls ill?
Fortunately, with God's blessing, nothing happened to the emperor, nothing happened to them, and everything returned to normal.
"The "Shao Wu Medical Book" has been compiled in the past few years. If it succeeds, it will be a major event that will benefit the country and the people. However, if there is a medical book, it must be read by a doctor. You can't prepare the medicine yourself."
"So, I would like the Imperial Hospital to recruit apprentices from the private sector to train doctors..."
The Taiyuan Hospital's lips trembled: "But Your Majesty, the Taiyuan Hospital was established for you. If the doctors go to take care of apprentices, I'm afraid they will be overstretched and it will be detrimental to..."
"For the sake of the people of the world, what does it mean if I sacrifice a little?"
Pull me down. If a minor illness turns into a serious illness when you treat me, it would be better to go to those famous doctors who compiled medical books!
In this way, the emperor made the final decision and there was nothing the Imperial Hospital could do.
With nearly a hundred people working there, the business was forced to open.
According to the new regulations, each of the thirteen departments of the imperial hospital is required to have ten apprentices. For each apprentice, their salary will be increased by 10%.
After bringing in ten apprentices, the salary can be doubled and will never change.
This was pure inducement, and the imperial doctors could only reluctantly accept it.
Jin Yiwei also came to work, and collected more than a thousand orphans and children from the people, roughly half of them male and female, and taught them how to read for about three years, and then found ordinary doctors to teach them about medicinal materials.
When you are twelve or thirteen years old and have laid a solid foundation, you can officially become an apprentice and be taught by the imperial doctors. This can save them a lot of energy and time.
Taking care of college students and taking care of primary school students are two different things.
When this group of people is formed and qualified, the lowest doctors can be awarded, leaving a dozen or so of the most outstanding ones, and the rest are sent to various provinces.
Each province established medical schools as official hospitals to train doctors while treating illnesses and saving lives.
Provinces then split into prefectures, and then into counties.
It is conceivable that with such a transfer, the number of Taifus will increase sharply, which can greatly improve the survival rate of the people.
One advantage of traditional Chinese medicine is that it doesn’t cost much money.
Things that cost less should be done naturally.
But this is a long-term plan, and Zhu Yixi cannot wait that long.
In a short period of time, he ordered Jin Yiwei to collect some literate teenagers and give one or two to each of the imperial doctors to take them up first.
Zhu Yixi did not let go of those who came to Beijing to compile medical books, and directly demanded that those who can sharpen their swords and chop wood carefully must also be trained.
If you don't accumulate steps, you won't be able to reach a thousand miles.
The imperial hospital officials were very serious about their duties. As soon as the emperor gave the order, he immediately started taking action without any delay.
Although the emperor did not say it explicitly, the consequence of not taking action would be dismissal from office.
Let me ask you, how can a doctor in this world have the prestige of Tai Hospital?
While he was busy with matters at the Taiyuan Hospital, on the other side, the emperor received news from Tianjin that the cinchona tree had arrived.
Yes, as early as last year, Zhu Yixi asked Chinese missionaries and businessmen, especially British businessmen, to compete diligently to obtain trade benefits. After more than a year, he finally obtained the seeds of the cinchona tree.
.
It turns out that after the Spanish discovered the curative effects of the cinchona tree, they couldn't wait to block the monopoly.
At this time, as European troublemakers, the British had already secretly brought the seeds into the country and cultivated them.
So Spain closed down, while the British opened up more.
"very good!"
Zhu Yixi looked at the two of them happily: "If we really cultivate the Golden Pheasant Book, I will give each of you a thousand pieces of silk."
"Thank you, Your Majesty the Emperor——"
The two were overjoyed.
The seeds of the cinchona tree were so precious that Zhu Yixi did not dare to delay and directly ordered people to spread them to Hainan, Guangdong, and Yunnan, and plant them in batches.
As long as one batch can survive, the cinchona cream can be delivered continuously.
This is a miracle cure for malaria.
Malaria is transmitted through mosquitoes, which is also commonly known as stagnation. If the high fever does not subside, it is destined to be over.
Why is Yunnan and Taiwan not fully developed? It is because of the problems of malaria and other diseases.
At this time, he was unable to research artemisinin, so cinchona became his only option.
It can be said that if cinchona becomes popular, it will definitely be worry-free when traveling south in the future.
In history, it was the Spaniards who transplanted cinchona trees to Southeast Asia and established their rule so easily.
In excitement, the emperor found a rare bomb in the harem, and all four of them flew away.
The next day, with back pain, he continued to work.
"Your Majesty, news came from Uzang that after Li Zicheng went south, he was defeated by Gushi Khan and was forced to go east, occupying the Kham area and connecting it with Qinghai."
The Minister of the Lifan Academy stopped Yinxi to ask for an audience, and he asked for an important matter.
"Sichuan confirmed that tea merchants indeed saw a group of Han people occupying Ganzi. They called themselves King Kang and were Li Zicheng's third brother, Li Zijing."
"King Kang?"
Zhu Yixi was stunned.
He had no impression of Ganzi or Kham. The biggest impression he had was of Xikang Province, which was established during the Republic of China.
I guess the Kham area is in that area!
"Li Ziguo is really dead."
From the time it was rumored that Li Zicheng was dead, it is now confirmed.
This was really a relief for Daming.
Li Zicheng is too good at running.
"Sichuan has requested that troops and horses be sent to encircle and suppress it?"
