Chapter 306: Public Sentiment



Those doctors who really know some medical skills, regardless of their level, will tacitly pass on their medical skills selectively only to their sons, grandsons and apprentices.

Although this practice of cherishing what is precious has ensured the jobs of these people to the greatest extent, it has also led to the loss of many superb medical skills.

Yu Zizhen didn't expect to make money from this, so he didn't mind teaching the medical skills he exchanged from the system mall.

Anyway, her close confidants all knew that she would take out a "holy book" from time to time, so there was no need for her to hide it.

What Yu Zizhen didn't expect was that the notices she had government offices at all levels issued clearly stated that suitable candidates would be selected to study in the medical school in the early spring of next year. However, not long after the notices were posted, the enthusiastic general public brought their children and went to the county or state government office nearest to their homes.

Even in Jingzhao Prefecture, some people took the initiative to tell the yamen runners and officials that they wanted to work for free at the medical school.

The reason is very simple. The medical school opened by Yu Zizhen does not only accept those regular doctors who already have a basic foundation. In addition to the three advanced classes A, B and C to improve the medical level of existing doctors, Yu Zizhen also opened basic classes and nursing classes to recruit children, teenagers and young people of appropriate age.

In this society where everyone keeps their skills secret and not everyone can learn even making tofu, Yu Zizhen is not only so generous in teaching his medical skills publicly, but he also has a series of measures in place such as tuition waivers, work-in-lieu, rewards for outstanding students, and study-first-then-work-later-to-repay-tuition payments, so that children from poor families can also afford to attend medical school.

With such generosity, how could ordinary people who wanted to change their fate of hunger and cold but had no way to do so not be grateful to Yu Zizhen?

It is no exaggeration to say that their gratitude to their new emperor is truly endless, like a surging river.

Anyone with a little ambition started saving money and storing food. They wanted to raise enough money for the trip and then send their children to the state capital closest to their home to participate in the unified enrollment of medical schools.

Speaking of this, the people will involuntarily feel more grateful to Yu Zizhen.

In the past, they experienced all kinds of inconvenience and frustration brought about by the remoteness of the country. Because of the remoteness of the country, even if they were bullied by corrupt officials and bullies, they had nowhere to seek justice. Because of the remoteness of the country, at least nine out of ten people-friendly policies introduced by the court could not benefit them.

But when the Xin Dynasty was established and Yu Zizhen began to govern, the people living in remote areas never felt this inconvenience again.

The schools that blossomed everywhere did not leave them behind, the policy of light taxes and levies did not leave them behind, and the scientific farming methods and convenient new tools did not leave them behind...

Even now, since medical schools cannot be established nationwide, their emperor is trying every means to let them benefit from it and gain help.

They did not have to spend a lot of money, time, or risk various dangers on the road to send their children to the capital to take the exam. Instead, they only had to send their children to the new student selection point set up by the government on the designated date.

Ordinary people may not have much wisdom, but they can feel when someone is truly kind to them.

When they learned that Yu Zizhen was going to build a new medical school on the outskirts of the city that could accommodate students from all over the country, instead of reducing the number of admissions because there was not enough space, they immediately prepared their own dry food and went to the local government office.

When the people in the yamen heard this group of people say that they were willing to help with the chores, they were unable to react for a long time.

You have to know that in the past, performing labor service was something that almost everyone avoided as much as possible, but now, everyone actually brought their own dry food and performed labor service that the court had not originally intended to assign.

But local officials really don't have the courage to send the people to work for free without their permission.

They reported the news immediately and requested the capital to issue a clear decree as soon as possible so that they could have a definite explanation to the local people.

Coincidentally, the memorial from Jingzhao Prefecture reporting the incident and the urgent news from various places using instant messaging tools were delivered to Yu Zizhen by different officials almost at the same time.

Everyone looked at her eagerly, hoping that she would make a decision as soon as possible.

Yu Zizhen did not disappoint everyone's expectations. She personally wrote a letter to the people of the world, first to thank the people, and second to tell them that the court did not need them to contribute to the medical school at the moment.

Unlike those officials who are full of knowledge but like to act like bookworms, Yu Zizhen prefers to talk to people in simple and straightforward language like ordinary people.

Her letter to the people of the world, like everything she had written before, perfectly demonstrated this characteristic of hers.

Unlike the officials and scholars who often secretly criticized her for being uneducated, the common people who heard the contents of the letter to the people of the world read out by the officials from the yamen, without exception, all liked the simple and straightforward way their majesty chose words and sentences.

The reason why they liked him was very simple - they could understand every word Yu Zizhen said and every word he used, without having to go through the trouble of asking the officials or scholars twice what the emperor meant by this sentence or that word.

If they were asked to say, it would be great if the officials and scholars could learn from their Majesty when talking to the peasants like them. They get tired of listening to the same nonsense that the other party talks about every day.

Of course, they did not dare to say this in front of others. After all, their Majesty was the only one in the world who not only did not despise them at all, but was also always particularly considerate of them and always tried his best to help them.

Even for this medical school that was thoughtful of them and gave them the opportunity to learn a skill and have enough food and clothing, their Majesty could not bear to let them bring their own food and run all the way over to help build it.

The common people were once again moved by Yu Zizhen's straightforward and emotional words. They wiped their tears and knelt down in a large crowd outside the yamen. The shouts of "Long live the yamen" were so loud that the ears of the officials and yamen runners began to buzz uncontrollably.

Officials and yamen runners from all over the country who witnessed this scene were deeply shocked. Although some people secretly criticized Yu Zizhen for winning over the hearts of good people, more people ultimately learned more positive things from this scene.

Because of the people's heartfelt respect and love for Yu Zizhen, they suddenly realized that the so-called "foolish people" spoken of by the royal family and the aristocratic families were not really ignorant.
