Basically, the imperial government has collected all the medicinal materials that can be collected in this era to deal with some difficult and complicated diseases.
Not to mention that in the near future, the first operating room in the Han Dynasty that can perform surgeries will be built in the pharmacy, and there will even be people like Sun Simiao who are already very famous in the south sitting here.
For these apprentices who want to engage in medicine, such opportunities are unimaginable.
"Make way, make way!" A voice came from behind, and several apprentices were seen walking over quickly, supporting an old man, "There are emergency patients in front, let my master pass."
"It's Mr. Zhao from Tai Hospital." Chen Xuanhua said hurriedly.
At this time, the apprentices still wanted to go forward. Everyone Zhao first saw Li Xingchen in the white fish dragon suit, and hurriedly reached out to stop them. They wanted to salute tremblingly, but Li Xingchen turned aside to make way: "Patient
It’s great, let’s go!”
Only then did the apprentices realize who they were before them, but they didn't bother to salute and supported their teacher to see the patient first.
"Originally, Mr. Zhao was not on duty today. He must have been busy up front, so we had to invite Mr. Zhao from the Tai Hospital." Chen Xuanhua was a little helpless, "Although the pharmacy has just been established not long ago, even as your Majesty saw,
Yes, there are still many medicines that have not yet been classified and sorted out, but there are already many people who come here to seek medical advice, especially Sun Yat-sen University, who has already written and sent some reports on techniques that are easy to operate and understand, so it is too
The doctors at the hospital have also been able to figure out some simple techniques through these reports, which is better than waiting for Sun's family to come back from the south. After all, life cannot wait, and every little thing can be saved."
Li Xingchen nodded. With the advent of peace, how to save people is often more important than how to kill.
"Your Majesty, would you like to go in and take a look?" Chen Xuanhua made an inviting gesture.
Li Xingchen walked to her side, but did not leave in a hurry. He stretched out his hand and took down a dry leaf that had been hung on Chen Xuanhua's temple for some time: "It's just enough to collect the herbs. Why did it hang directly on the hair?"
Chen Xuanhua shrank his neck and smiled: "I was not careful."
"It's nothing," Li Xingchen shook his head, "A busy woman is equally beautiful."
Chen Xuanhua and Yang Miao next to him were both stunned for a moment, feeling a little incredible.
The ancients' requirements for women were actually very simple. They should not leave the front door or step outside the second door. However, behind these eight short words is the harm done to women by feudal ethics. In history, during the Southern and Northern Dynasties, the Hu and Han Dynasties blended together, and the customs were quite good.
It was open, but the status of women was far inferior to that of the prosperous Tang Dynasty a hundred years later.
It was unimaginable before for a woman to be in public and direct the work.
Even in this era, with years of war, women have often begun to assume sufficient social responsibilities willingly or forcedly, but women's overall social status is far lower than that of men.
Li Xingchen encouraged the concubines in the harem to do some social welfare undertakings. In the eyes of most people and even themselves, it was Li Xingchen who wanted to distract the attention of the harem so that these women would not hide in the house every day and stifle something.
Bad thoughts.
As everyone knows, Li Xingchen didn't think about improving the status of women in this way.
Of course, this improvement is not a call for equality between men and women.
Li Xingchen is not stupid. When it comes to equality between men and women in this era, not only men will have opinions, but women with deep-rooted feudal ideas will also have opinions.
But as a ruler, Li Xingchen had to consider the population shortage problem that the Han Dynasty was facing. Three hundred years of troubled times, although it promoted the integration of ethnic groups, the population size dropped significantly. If the Han Dynasty wanted to develop, it had to find a way to reduce the population.
As the number of people increases, without enough population, no matter what the court wants to do, it is just talk on paper.
If you want to increase the population in a short period of time, you can't just rely on having children. Although Li Xingchen has never doubted the fertility of the Chinese nation, by the time these children grow up, they will already be at least fifteen or sixteen.
It will happen years later.
Although Li Xingchen is also facing the problem of insufficient talents now, at least the older generation who once shined in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, such as Li Yuan and Li Jing, have grown up and can assume their responsibilities.
But for the problem of population size, Li Xingchen really couldn't think of any good solution other than taking the lead and expanding the size of the royal family first.
Therefore, we can only start by liberating the power of women. This certainly means challenging feudal tradition, but as long as we grasp the scale and control public opinion, it should be easy to gain support from the middle and upper classes of society, and then promote it to the entire society.
In society, it is not easy to arouse opposition voices.
Women hold up half the sky. Once women can step out of the house and assume at least some of the social responsibilities, more men will be freed up to fill in areas where manpower is more needed.
For example, if women stepped forward to trade and sell goods in place of men, then the men who were originally responsible for this would naturally be able to enter workshops or join the government's road repair team, and naturally there would be more people.
However, this is not something that can be accomplished overnight. Everything needs to be done slowly. Li Xingchen asked the concubines in the harem to actively participate in social welfare undertakings in order to test the waters first and at the same time reveal to all walks of life that His Majesty wants to grant
Women have some rights to participate in social life.
"Sage, please open a dispensary to protect us and other people!"
"Your Majesty is truly a saint!"
Before he walked past the medicine cabinet, Li Xingchen heard the voice in front of him.
Li Xingchen paused and saw the people queuing up to get the medicine. After taking the medicine, they solemnly saluted to the plaque at the door.
Saint, this title made Li Xingchen feel a little confused.
This is the name people used to call His Majesty during the prosperous Tang Dynasty in history, which shows their respect for His Majesty, because only saints can bring about a prosperous and prosperous age.
But now that he heard this title, Li Xingchen felt a little embarrassed.
He asked himself that he had not done enough. The title of saint was so heavy that he really couldn't bear it.
"Starting today, all medicines in the pharmacy are 20% cheaper." Chen Xuanhua explained beside Li Xinchen.
20% off?
That is indeed a large number, especially when it comes to medical treatment.
It’s no wonder that these common people would salute the plaque. The name of the royal family was written on the plaque, and it was even inscribed by Li Xinchen himself. So to them, this represented Li Xinchen and the benevolent Emperor of the Han Dynasty.
"But will this affect the pharmacy's revenue? The government is already stretched thin." Li Xingchen said after careful consideration.
