Bai Guo arrived at the Imperial Hospital, where everyone recognized her as one of the Empress's favorites.

"Greetings, Your Excellencies."

Zhang Ning said first, "You're too kind, young lady."

Bai Guo smiled and said, "I wonder what you gentlemen have thought about it. Her Majesty the Empress is waiting for my decision!"

Zhang Ning had a list in his hand, but he also knew that many people were still considering it, so he said, "I hope you will wait a moment, young lady."

"It's alright, Lord Zhang, just do whatever you think is safest."

"Thank you for your understanding, young lady."

Then Zhang Ning turned around and said to everyone, "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I hope you will consider it carefully. The list will be finalized in the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and then there may never be another chance like this."

Then he said, "Someone, offer incense."

Immediately, someone came over and placed an incense stick in a prominent spot in the middle. In this way, people continued to come to Zhang Ning and add their names to the incense stick.

Ultimately, none of them wanted to give up, and none of them were fools. Besides, people like to follow the trend. Zhang Ning took the lead, and several skilled imperial physicians followed suit and left their names on the list, so most people followed suit and added their names.

Bai Guo remained calm and expressionless, but she was genuinely happy to see so many people adding their names to the list.

She was the one who basically followed up on this matter, so she had some understanding of her master's worries. Now that things were like this, her master could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

She knew that if there weren't enough people, she would probably have to look for people from the general public, but those people weren't so easy to find.

Besides, according to the master's plan, the first batch of trainees are military doctors, and there's not enough time!

Although she didn't know exactly when the war would start, the eldest prince had been training his troops for so long, it was impossible for him to remain completely silent.

The time it takes for an incense stick to burn isn't short, since all you have to do is write your name. But for those who have to make a choice, it's extremely short. In the end, everyone in the Imperial Medical Academy had written their names.

When Bai Guo heard Zhang Ning say that, he was extremely surprised.

Actually, this situation isn't that amazing; there are patterns to it.

Zhang Ning, as the head of the academy, took the lead decisively. Some of them were indeed benevolent, and even if they could not ultimately bring blessings to the people, they wanted to try, just in case they did.

Furthermore, some people analyzed the pros and cons, and their conclusion was roughly the same as Zhang Ning's: the Empress was a kind person and would not mistreat them.

Another small group was undecided and ultimately chose to follow the trend. Among them were some who genuinely did not want to, but it would be too conspicuous to disagree, so they added their names as well.

That's why this situation has arisen.

Bai Guo smiled and said, "Thank you for your trouble, Lord Zhang."

"You're too kind, young lady."

"This servant must take the list back to Your Majesty for review, so I will return now."

"Take care, young lady."

When Bai Guo returned, he had a smile on his face. Yun Rong saw this and knew that the outcome probably wouldn't be too bad.

Bai Guo: "Greetings, Master."

"Get up, how about it?"

Bai Guo smiled and said, "Master, everyone in the Imperial Hospital has written down their names."

In other words, the Imperial Medical Academy was willing to teach students at the medical school.

This news was wonderful for Yunrong.

That evening, Yunrong brought up the matter of building a medical college with Yinzhen. It wasn't difficult to do, and besides, the scale of a medical college didn't need to be too large these days.

"You can choose a suitable location yourself, then have Charlie design a sketch, and take it to the Ministry of Works to start construction."

Yinzhen hadn't expected Yunrong to take such a big step, heading straight to the medical school. There were medical schools during the Republic of China era, and he had even briefly visited one, finding it quite difficult to adapt at first.

During the Republican era, foreign ideas and cultures entered the country rapidly. At that time, medical schools taught Western medicine and also offered courses in anatomy.

The impact of this on Yinzhen, an emperor in a feudal society, is self-evident.

However, he eventually came to accept it. He had been wandering for so long and hadn't seen any ghosts like himself. Besides, once a person dies, it doesn't matter what happens to the physical body.

He knew in his heart that the medical school Yunrong wanted to build was different from what he had seen; more accurately, it should be a traditional Chinese medicine college.

After all, they don't have any Western medical talent these days.

Having received Yinzhen's approval and with enough money provided, Yunrong began to take action.

She mainly made arrangements; she didn't have much to do herself. Moreover, Zhang Ning was a capable person, and Yunrong was making the most of him. She planned to make him the dean of the academy, so naturally, she entrusted him with some trivial matters.

Although the idea came from Yunrong, the Imperial Hospital took over more of the oversight in various aspects afterward.

Of course, Yunrong couldn't completely ignore it; ultimately, she was the one who made the final decision.

Yunrong isn't the type to take on everything herself; if someone else can do these things well, she doesn't plan to interfere.

This also has an advantage: the medical school was built with their own hard work, so they have an emotional connection to it. The process of building it from scratch is a testament to their hard work, and they will be more dedicated to it in the future.

The medical school is under construction, and the Imperial Medical Academy has been busy lately. In the past, they just dutifully performed their duties, taking care of the health of the emperors and nobles, as well as the imperial family and some ministers. After all, although the imperial physicians were supposed to serve the royal family, there were exceptions.

While the Imperial Medical Academy wasn't exactly a quiet place, the shift system meant there was some downtime.
