Chapter 266

"Participate in the compilation of medical books?" When Xu Yi heard the news, he sat up unconsciously.

The Northern Song Dynasty emphasized medicine. In addition to setting up medical schools in various states and counties, the Imperial Medical Bureau would also go to the private sector to collect medical prescriptions from time to time, collect and correct the medical prescriptions it received, and then reorganize them.

The doctors who can participate in the compilation of medical books are all highly qualified official doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau, such as officials and professors.

When will such a good thing happen to me?

Xu Yi suppressed the excitement in his heart and focused his attention on the medical book brought by Xinhuai. This medical book was only briefly edited and did not even include the official bibliography. He only wrote "Collection of Prescriptions for Malignant Sores" on the outside.

"Li Mu, are you kidding me?" Xu Yi asked him.

Xinhuai smiled slyly and said, "How can you just joke about something like this?"

Xu Yi smiled bitterly: "Then it's not my turn."

Seeing him like this, Xinhuai didn't hide it.

This time the revision of the old version is not like in the past, which is limited to doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau. Just like the wide-reaching medical prescription, the Imperial Medical Bureau must also recruit talents.

After the tea party, the professors and doctors in the hospital continued to discuss Xu Yi, and they all felt that such a talent should be included in their hospital. There are even teachings that Xu Yi's two apprentices should also come in.

It's just that the matter ended later.

The old medical books that needed to be revised until this time contained many prescriptions for external ulcers. At this time, Xinhuai remembered that although Xu Yi was good at treating difficult and complicated diseases, he was especially prone to external ulcers.

"I mentioned to Brother Shang that I would include you as one of the compilers, and Brother Shang agreed." After explaining the reason, Xinhuai said with a solemn expression, "The bureau has never had outside editors compile medical books. If you can come in, I will definitely benefit a lot and make a difference. This is a rare opportunity to seize."

Xu Yi was naturally unwilling to let such a good opportunity slip through his fingers.

Xu Yi asked carefully, "If I participate, can I make a request?"

"Oh? You still bargained?" , they don't want to, I'm afraid it won't be right if you want to take them with you this time."

Xu Yi shook his head and said with self-knowledge: "No, compiling medical books is a big deal, how can you just stuff people in at will?"

Besides, A Xu A Jin didn't agree to join Taiyang in the first place. Professor Yu from the medical bureau was very unhappy, but he didn't make things difficult for them either. But if he made such a request again during this trip, it would be contradictory to the problem.

"I just have a small question in my mind, can I read other medical books in the bureau during the compilation period?" After saying that, Xu Yi looked at him with innocent eyes.

Xinhuai: "..."

He smiled and said, "Why do you need to ask? You have already been admitted to the hospital to compile medical books. You can read all the medical books in the study room of the hospital."

At this point, Xu Yi would not be flattered if he did not agree. .

He quickly stood up and bowed to Xinhuai: "Thank you for your love, Xin. Xu Yi will do his best."

"Okay." Xinhuai pulled him up and said with a smile, "Compiling medical books takes energy, and it can take as little as half a year. It can take up to two years a year. During this period, you are not allowed to go home except for holidays. Are you willing?"

Xu Yi was stunned when he heard this.

Xinhuai was not in a hurry for him to answer. He took a sip of tea and said leisurely: "I heard that your wife is smart, please discuss it with her before coming back."

After that, he put the post and the medical book on the case. .

...

Three days later.

Xu Yi appeared alone at the entrance of Taiyuan Hospital, carrying a bag of clothes.

He handed over the post and the concierge let him in.

When he entered, someone recognized him and took the initiative to say hello to him. Hearing that Xu Yi came to see Li Xin, he enthusiastically offered to take him to Xinhuai's office.

On the way, enthusiastic people said familiarly: "I didn't expect Mr. Xu to come to Taipei Hospital. This is great. We will have the opportunity to become friends in the future."

Compiling medical books means coming to the hospital to work, but he is not just a short-term colleague. Xu Yi smiled and did not deny it.

"By the way, this matter of admission should be decided by the Shang Yuan. How can Brother Xu find the official?" the enthusiast asked suspiciously.

Xu Yi said: "The person who posted the message to me was Xin Limu."

The enthusiastic people were suddenly stunned for a moment, and secretly said that Xu Yi was still a good person, so he had to meet Xin Limu first for this matter.

So, he laughed and chatted with Xu Yi about the conditions of various courtyards.

There are three main courtyards in Taiyuan Hospital, one is the teaching institute, the second is the confidential office, and the third is the accommodation. The teaching institutions are divided into different levels, and assessments are divided according to A, B, C, D, etc.; the confidential department is a hodgepodge, which includes all the departments in Taiyuan Hospital, such as the medicinal materials room, the pharmacy, the office, the clerk's room, etc., which is Shang Hongshen. He and Xinhuai's office areas are all in this courtyard.

The accommodation courtyard for doctors and official doctors is located at the back. There are hundreds of people in the courtyard, including those who usually do odd jobs.

Therefore, except for some students and professors, most of them rent houses outside.

With the help of enthusiastic people, Xu Yi quickly arrived at Xinhuai's office.

There were other doctors in the office. Xu Yi said goodbye to the enthusiastic people with gratitude and went inside carrying a suitcase on his back.

When the people in the room saw Xu Yi, they stood up one after another. One of them laughed and said, "We just made a bet on whether you would come today."

Xu Yi handed over to them: "Professor Song, Professor Yu, Tian Professor."

"Only you?" Professor Song asked.

Xu Yi nodded. After the coachman took him to the entrance of the Tai Hospital, he asked the coachman to go back first.

Professor Tian said: "This time of re-editing the old edition, the editors are just a few of us and Xin Limu. There are not many editions to be re-edited, these are all."

He raised his arm and pointed to the desk behind him, with a high There are two bookshelf on the high ground.

Although there are not many, there are more than twenty books.

They have been dealing with these medical books all year round and know that compiling medical books is not easy. In the past two years, the bureau has collected a lot of medical prescriptions, and these new medical prescriptions must be compiled into them. In addition, some old prescriptions have new medicinal effects and have to be corrected and filled in.

Xu Yi just came to the door, and they were not in a hurry to get him to work.

Professor Song said: "Li Mu has gone to the Shangyuan District to report on his work. I will take you to put your luggage away first."

"Thank you, Professor Song."

Xu Yi nodded and followed him with the suit on his back.

The two came to the dormitory. Professor Song deliberately chose a room that was close to his dormitory and asked the cleaning woman to clean it up in advance.

Professor Song said: "The conditions in the courtyard are poor. If you need anything, let me know and I will get it for you."

Xu Yi put down the suitcase and glanced around. The room was fully equipped with bed supplies. It's better than the dormitory he lived in during college.

Nothing seems to be missing.

After putting things away, Professor Song took Xu Yi to familiarize himself with the places in the courtyard that needed attention.

"The supply of lamp oil in the courtyard is limited. Each person can only receive one or two taels of lamp oil per month. If it is not enough, you have to pay for it yourself." Professor Song reminded that the houses in the courtyard are low and the walls are high. Every day when it gets dark, , the light in the room is much different.

"Lamp oil must always be prepared in case of need. We read the school team's medical records every day and forget to eat and sleep. One or two lamp oil is not enough."

Professor Song adds money every month and spends it on lamp oil.

Xu Yi wrote this down and planned to bring some lamp oil back home when he went home after a long break.

The two chatted while walking, and then returned to the office. At this time, Professor Tian and Professor Yu were not in the office. Also disappearing were the medical books that needed to be re-edited.

Professor Song said as usual: "They went to the study, so we will go too."

When they arrived at the study, Xu Yi saw Xin Huai busy inside. When Xinhuai saw him coming, he didn't react at all. He only waved him over and pointed to a wall of books and said, "Take a tally of these books. They will be useful."

Xu Yi was slightly surprised, but seeing so many medical books, His eyes instantly lit up: "Statistical classification?"

Xinhuai smiled with satisfaction: "Yes, leave it to me after classification."

"Understood."

Xu Yi agreed, not in a hurry to work, his eyes fell on the study room. throughout.

There were several doctors around who were so busy that they didn't even raise their heads. Most of them were wearing brown robes. They were holding an open white book in one hand and a pen in the other. They were searching and copying something.

Professor Song, who followed him in, was also assigned work by Xinhuai. He rolled up his sleeves and went to the wash basin to wash his hands, dry them, and went to the desk to get pen and paper.

At the desk, there were a few young men who looked like children quietly studying ink...

Xu Yi walked over and saw medicinal materials floating in the hand basin, including honeysuckle, dandelion and so on. They were all medicines commonly used to clean hands.

Then he followed Professor Song's example, wiped his hands dry, took a pen and paper and went to the designated location.

Xu Yi has been in the habit of compiling books over the years, and it is not difficult for him to classify books statistically. This job is boring and requires a lot of patience.

He first took a rough look, then pulled out books of the same category one after another, copied down the names, and then filed them in a row. Then, he found that this classification was still not obvious, and it was easy to miss it under a whole row of black handwriting.

After Xu Yi sorted the books, he went to the desk and asked the child, "Do you have a knife for ripping open paper?"

Of course there was such a thing in the study, and the child quickly brought him the knife for ripping open paper.

Xu Yi folded a piece of paper, cut it into dozens of parts, and wrote the names of different categories on it.

Put your name on the bookshelf to make it easier to find books.

"What are you doing?" Someone finally noticed the difference in Xu Yi.

Xu Yi looked up and saw Professor Yu standing next to him at some point, staring at Xu Yi for a long time.

Xu Yi said: "I thought of just categorizing statistics without labeling. After some time, these books will be disrupted again, so I plan to classify them by myself according to my usual method."

Professor Yu narrowed his eyes . Eyes: "Does your method work?"

Xu Yi didn't finish his words, he only said that it would be of some use. He also said that he didn't have paste in his hand, so he could only stuff the note into the gap between the bookshelf and the books, exposing a corner. There are them in every row. When he is using them, he can look for books according to the slips of paper instead of looking for them one by one in front of a wall of books.

After hearing this, Professor Yu's eyes moved: "This is a good idea."

Then he took Xu Yi to find Xin Huai.

"What's the matter?"

Xin Huai sat in front of the case and flipped through the books. When he saw them coming, he raised his eyebrows at Xu Yi suspiciously.

Meeting his gaze, Xu Yi had no choice but to bite the bullet and said: "I took apart some slips of paper to write categories and put them in the bookcase. Professor Yu thought it was useful, so he brought me over."

Hearing this, Xin Huai looked at it again Professor Xiang Yu.

Professor Yu said excitedly: "I saw that method, and it is indeed more effective than our previous classification method. I think it can be promoted, so that in the future you don't have to worry about books being placed randomly and not being found."

Xinhuai stood up: "I'll go take a look."

Yu The professor did not suppress his voice. Someone in the study heard it and came over to take a look.

The medical books in the bureau are only divided into a few major categories, and the rest are sorted and sorted into the same place by them for easy search.

But this method also has a big drawback, that is, it needs to be classified from time to time. Professors like them who are responsible for paperwork spend most of their time here.

Xu Yi subdivided the major categories into columns of similar disease veins. Looking at his neat place, the titles of each row of books are clear and eye-catching, not complicated, and it is also easy to find when the books are read and sorted again.

Seeing Xu Yi using this method to classify books, several people praised him.

Everyone was excited and wanted to implement this classification method: "Xinlimu, I think this method is feasible and must be promoted."

"Yes, we just have to sort out the bibliography this time, so why not just press it like this? " This is the way to go."

"But there are thousands of books in the study, and it's not easy to sort them all. Besides, what we are re-revising this time is the surgery book, so it is not good to spend time here."

Everyone failed to discuss it. After coming to a conclusion, they all turned their attention to Xin Huai.

Xin Huai met their eyes, calmly stroked his beard, and thought: "This project is huge, and it is really not suitable for just the few of us."

"Xin Limu!" ​​Professor Yu shouted urgently.

Xinhuai changed the topic: "We don't have time, but there are so many doctors in the hospital, they have plenty of time."

Xu Yi: "..."
