In fact, whether it's public schools or public clinics, as long as the imperial court is willing to do it, and as long as the people are willing to trust Zhu Yunwen, it can all be implemented.

However, the two are not the same in terms of difficulty. It is not something that can be judged in a short time. Moreover, it is obvious that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.

In addition, it also actually resolved some issues.

But public clinics are different; treating patients always involves risks.

Nowadays, the imperial court has established public clinics in various places to provide medical care to some people in need at a lower price with the government's subsidies.

Implementing low-cost medical care is essentially a good thing, but then again, medical conditions in ancient times were limited.

Therefore, even in these low-priced public clinics, many diseases are difficult to cure, which inevitably leads to some skepticism.

Even if it is met with skepticism.

This public medical clinic often faces all sorts of difficult and complicated cases, which are indeed hard to solve.

Although Zhu Yunwen had previously collected thousands of various prescriptions and secret techniques through the physicians' reception, and gathered them together for physicians from all over the world to use in public medical clinics.

However, despite significant improvements in medical standards, many diseases still cannot be effectively treated due to limited medical resources.

Fortunately, Zhu Yunwen had previously produced allicin, a type of antibiotic with very significant effects and minimal side effects.

Basically, very few people are allergic to allicin.

There's a saying that goes, "Of all the diseases in the world, antibiotics can cure half of them."

Therefore, although allicin is not as potent as some other antibiotics, if used properly, it can easily cure many diseases that were considered intractable by people in ancient times.

Nevertheless, there is still a long way to go in terms of medical development.

Zhu Yunwen had an in-depth discussion on this issue with Yang Rong, Yang Shiqi, and Yang Pu.

Zhu Yunwen's idea was to create a shared system where all medical clinics across the country could function like public schools.

The essence of this sharing system lies in recording and communication. Recording is recording every time a doctor sees a patient, and every patient's symptoms, condition, and medication.

Then these data are collected, placed in a database, and compared over a long period of time.

Which diseases with similar symptoms respond better to which medications?

After such data is collected, a dedicated person is responsible for summarizing this information.

To put it simply, it's about summarizing experience. Often, a doctor can only gain some experience from his mentor, familiar colleagues, or the patients he has diagnosed throughout his life.

However, it is still limited. If the sample size is not large enough, it is impossible to determine whether some treatments are effective or whether problems have occurred.

If we combine the diagnoses and treatments of doctors in all public hospitals across the country with the patients' symptoms, we can conduct a screening.

This way, we can identify the symptom and determine which medication and treatment method will lead to a higher cure rate.

In which case, which treatment has a higher cure rate, a higher error rate, and more side effects?

The accumulated experience and conclusions were then compiled into a book for use by medical professionals nationwide.

In this way, all the doctors in the public medical clinics of the entire Ming Dynasty jointly built a medical system network.

A series of reform measures have been implemented to enable medical professionals worldwide to make progress together, identify problems together, and use the best treatment methods together.

After listening to Zhu Yunwen's eloquent speech and his very practical methods, Yang Rong and the others were very impressed and admired him.

This inspired them, and they felt they could further refine and implement it.

After leaving the cabinet, Zhu Yunwen returned to the Eastern Palace.

Finally, I was able to get a good two-day rest, but of course, it was only a two-day rest.

On the third day, the envoys of Gaochang Kingdom arrived in the Ming Dynasty and, in a very high-profile manner, presented national treasures to the Ming court, seeking the Ming Dynasty's protection.

In the imperial court, Zhu Yuanzhang sat at the head of the table, with Zhu Yunwen standing to his side; both remained calm.

Some ministers below had already realized that the Gaochang Kingdom's visit to the Ming Dynasty was an attempt to drag the Ming Dynasty into the mess of the western kingdoms.

The key point is that, in the eyes of these ministers, the situation is just as Zhu Yunwen had imagined, a dilemma with no way out.

They could only choose one path, so they were all curious about how Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunwen would handle the matter.

At this time, the envoy from Gaochang had already paid his respects to Zhu Yunwen and Zhu Yuanzhang, exchanged some polite words, and presented the treasures he had brought this time.

While this so-called treasure was indeed valuable, the Ming Dynasty was, after all, the Central Plains Celestial Empire, so it didn't pay too much attention to it and didn't consider it a true treasure.

After presenting the treasures, the forty-something-year-old envoy from Gaochang slowly spoke:

"Your Majesty the Emperor of the Great Ming, Your Highness the Crown Prince of the Great Ming, our Kingdom of Gaochang has sent foreign envoys to the Great Ming not only to present national treasures, but also to request Your Majesty the Emperor of the Great Ming to step in and resolve the crisis facing our Kingdom of Gaochang."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at the envoy from Gaochang with a blank expression and said:

"We've already heard about the affairs of Gaochang and Chechi, and we shouldn't be getting involved in this matter."

After all, our Great Ming Dynasty has not been involved in the affairs between your two countries. As an outsider, we should have stood by and watched, you understand?
