Chapter 269: Changes in Xuzhou
But to be precise, before all the things from Bingzhou were sent to Chang'an, Zhang Zhongjing was already surprised by Qiao Yan's division of the medical school.
Although people nowadays have more respect for doctors because of frequent epidemics and wars, their status is still not very high.
Generally speaking, traveling doctors in a certain area only treat whatever illness is encountered, and it is rare for them to be proficient in any particular field.
But when Chiyang Medical College, located north of Chang'an, was established, Qiao Yan had already completed the classification of various departments against all odds.
If it is divided into detailed categories such as otolaryngology, it would be a bit of an overreaction, so the final classification is general, gynecological, pediatric, military, and equine, corresponding to the target groups that different types of doctors need to treat specifically.
As the name suggests, this is a standard system for training doctors in rural areas, which corresponds to the various contents mentioned in the increasingly improved "Book of Emergency Prescriptions".
According to what Qiao Yan told Zhang Zhongjing, these doctors also have the role of supervisor.
When they are practicing medicine in their respective diagnosis and treatment locations, they must also always pay attention to whether there are any infectious diseases occurring in the local area and ensure that they are reported in a timely manner.
Needless to say, the gynecological department is a department specially set up to treat gynecological diseases. In this category, priority will be given to the training of female doctors to prevent patients from being reluctant to see doctors during consultations.
The textbooks that make up this department are, one is a collection of gynecological disease cases accumulated since the construction of Leping's medical system, and the other is the "Prescriptions for Treating Women" that Zhang Zhongjing handed over to Qiao Yan after arriving in Chang'an. As for the subsequent development and progress, it depends on the abilities of these female doctors.
The needs of pediatrics are not difficult to understand. Ultimately, there is a difference between the dosage of medication for children and that for ordinary adults. However, not every medical practitioner has the time to conduct such in-depth research.
In addition, in the instructions issued by Qiao Yan, professions such as midwifery were also included in this category.
The army was established entirely out of the need for marching and fighting, with the intention of quickly training a group of military doctors in an assembly line manner.
These doctors must be more adept at treating and bandaging external injuries, and respond to common battlefield injuries such as fractures. At the same time, they must also meet the physical fitness requirements that military doctors can achieve.
The last horse was a bit surprising.
But when Zhang Zhongjing asked about this, Qiao Yan replied: "Horses are of great importance to the army. Since humans have military doctors, why can't horses have horse doctors? You can't let someone who is already proficient in treating human diseases suddenly turn to treating horses."
Wu Pu, who was on his way to Chang'an, sneezed.
But it doesn’t matter what he keeps saying, because Qiao Yan won’t transfer him to Marco anyway.
Wu Pu looked at the people traveling with him. They were well manned, well-equipped, and the medicinal materials were all packed tightly. There shouldn't be any problems.
At most... Hua Tuo didn't come.
This is explainable.
The person originally responsible for presiding over the medical school should of course be Hua Tuo, but unfortunately he could not come for the time being.
When Hua Tuo first came to Leping, Qiao Yan mentioned to him the use of cowpox instead of human pox to prevent smallpox.
However, Hua Tuo had been busy with the emergency prescription book recently, and only had the time to delve into it in the past six months. Now that he had made some progress following the ideas given by Qiao Yan, he was too lazy to move for the time being and only said that he would come to take a look when the medical school was completed and the ribbon-cutting ceremony was held.
This is the current situation where Wu Pu is leading the team.
For a while, he was transferred by Qiao Yan to study military first aid kits, but in the regulations of Chiyang Medical College, Wu Pu was assigned to the regular department, and Fan A, who was still in Runan to treat Yuan Shu, was in charge of the military medical work.
The remaining positions of women, children and equine staff will be filled gradually.
Both Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing were named after the deans of medical schools, which also prepared for the further division of internal medicine and surgery in the future.
There is no rush now.
Wu Pu looked towards the team and saw Qiao Zhen who was also in the team.
After Qiao Yan separated from the Leping Qiao Clan and severed ties with the Yanzhou Qiao Clan, Qiao Lan and Qiao Ting had to perform special tasks. So from what outsiders knew, the only one who was listed under the Leping Qiao Clan at this time was Qiao Zhen, besides Qiao Yan himself.
But what surprised Wu Pu was that as a "rare species" in the clan separated from Qiao Yan, Qiao Zhen's presence was still quite low.
After Wu Pu invited her again, she agreed without thinking too much and officially changed from a student of Leping Academy to a student of the Medical College.
When Wu Pu approached, he saw that she was holding a map of the area division of Chiyang Medical College.
"Why are you looking at this?" Wu Pu asked.
"I was thinking about your idea. Across a wide road from the five departments are the medicine warehouse, the pharmaceutical bureau, and the herbalist training ground. These are not surprising, but the Leprosy House and Sad Field House in the back. The former is used to isolate patients with the pandemic, and the latter is used for long-term housing for homeless patients..." Qiao Zhen frowned and said, "Is your Majesty too worried?"
Theoretically, when the war situation in the world is not so serious, the epidemic will not spread to a terrible extent.
Now that Qiao Yan has temporarily suspended his military action and is giving priority to the development of the people's livelihood in the three states in an attempt to further recuperate, it seems that there is no need to set up formal medical school affiliated institutions such as the Lai Ren Fang and the Bei Tian Fang.
Even if patients need to be isolated, some prevention and treatment areas can be set up under the original categories.
But Qiao Yan didn't seem satisfied with this.
"Perhaps Your Excellency feels that doctors cannot afford to be negligent in matters of life and death," Wu Pu replied.
After following Qiao Yan until now, they have all learned a skill, which is to rationalize the actions of the prince.
Anyway, the fact that the medical school was able to gain a foothold in Chang'an was a groundbreaking event for someone like Wu Pu who was devoted to studying medicine.
He is now full of motivation to do something big, so how could he think there is anything wrong with this setting?
Not to mention just setting up a Beitianfang here, he would have no objection even if a gnawing beast house was set up here.
"Speaking of which," Wu Pu changed the subject and said, "Since the Lord has not yet decided on the chief medical officers for the Department of Gynecology and Pediatrics, this is your chance. Instead of considering the Lord's potential intentions, you should think about whether you can fight for a position. We can't let the newly recruited doctors from Guanzhong take the lead!"
Of course, Wu Pu still favors his own people more.
Qiao Zhen is patient and meticulous. With enough experience in medical consultation, she is an expert in both gynecology and pediatrics.
Receiving his encouragement for his competitive spirit, Qiao Zhen smiled and said, "Master Wu, instead of thinking about this, I think you should think about how to get along with Dean Zhang after meeting him. This is the biggest task that the Lord has given you."
Qiao Yan obviously valued Zhang Zhongjing, the famous doctor from Jingzhou. Unfortunately, Hua Tuo was not here due to cowpox. As a result, Wu Pu was under a lot of pressure.
This is not just a question of superiors and subordinates and medical qualifications. More importantly, it is about how to quickly connect and integrate Zhang Zhongjing's knowledge of prescriptions, Bingzhou's medical system and the five newly defined departments.
Wu Pu touched his chin and felt that this was indeed an important matter.
Fortunately, as a qualified doctor, he has no obstacles in communicating with others.
But what he didn't expect was that this was the scene when he met Zhang Zhongjing.
Wu Pu learned the Five Animal Exercises from Hua Tuo, so naturally he had a pretty good physique.
So after various things from Bingzhou were moved to Chang'an, and the medical school was still short-staffed, it shouldn't be strange for him to take the lead in moving some things, right?
This is what Wu Pu thought before he had an unexpected encounter with Zhang Zhongjing.
Now...
Zhang Zhongjing looked towards Wu Pu's left hand. In his hand was a puppet the same size as a human body, with diagrams of the human body's acupuncture points drawn on the puppet. Just now, when there was still some distance, he almost thought that Wu Pu was holding a person in his hand.
In Wu Pu's right hand, he was holding a string of things that looked a bit like trumpets but were obviously not.
There was a sack hanging on his right shoulder, which was bulging, apparently filled with a lot of things.
During this encounter, Wu Pu's image really caused a great shock to Zhang Zhongjing.
It is difficult to say whether it is Wu Pu's appearance at this moment that looks outrageous, or Yuan Xi's appearance when he returned to Yecheng that looks outrageous.
Zhang Zhongjing couldn't help but ask, "What are you doing?"
The two men had never met before, but this did not prevent Wu Pu from guessing Zhang Zhongjing's identity from his temperament and the circumstances of his appearance here.
Thinking that he couldn't leave an unreliable impression on his future colleagues, Wu Pu held up the things in his hand steadily and replied one by one: "This is a model of meridian points, used for teaching students. Before, the prince asked if he wanted to make a peeled one, but unfortunately he didn't have the time. Maybe he can try it after he arrives in Chang'an."
He raised his right hand again. "This is the medical officer's suona, used for listening to the stethoscope and transmitting sound. The Lord said that there is still a lot of room for improvement in this thing, but unfortunately we are still short of some materials. Previously, we made it because we considered the problem of male doctors treating female patients. Now we don't have to worry so much."
"This last one..." Wu Pu tried to bend his hand back and patted the bulging bag. "It's the template for the uniforms in the medical school. We still need to wait for the Lord to make a decision, especially the pattern on the uniforms."
Wu Pu continued to explain: "We now have two ideas. One is to use the beam scale for weighing medicinal materials as a symbol, which is intended to ensure that doctors who leave here will weigh the medicines and prescribe medicines without any shortage of weight. It also measures our benevolent heart as a doctor, which needs to be remembered at all times. However, this tool is also used by butchers, and it seems that leaving it here may cause ambiguity."
"The second is to use herbs to represent it. For example, we use Cassia seed as the pattern to show that doctors like us have sharp ears and eyes and will never make a wrong diagnosis. However... if we follow this logic, there are more herbs that can be chosen than just Cassia seed."
Wu Pu sighed helplessly.
Although this kind of thing can be considered a happy trouble, it still makes people feel very difficult to deal with.
Zhang Zhongjing couldn't come up with a solution for a while.
He replied: "How about you put everything down first and then choose?"
No matter how he looked at it, he felt that Wu Pu's current posture was extremely strenuous.
From the tone of Wu Pu's words, it was not difficult for Zhang Zhongjing to guess his identity. But it was precisely because he guessed who Wu Pu was that Zhang Zhongjing couldn't help but marvel in his heart -
The people from Bingzhou, even the doctors, are so different from those from ordinary places.
Just as he thought of this, he saw two more people walking towards him with heavy jars in their arms.
When the two men saw Wu Pu, they asked loudly, "Teacher, where is this set of viscera models?"
Zhang Zhongjing: “…”
He now knew what Wu Pu meant by the skinned person.
Zhang Zhongjing intuitively felt that this was probably just the beginning.
Wu Pu turned around and signaled his disciples to put the jars in the newly built Lingyin of the medical school. Then he turned back to Zhang Zhongjing and said, "You are right. These things are a bit heavy. I will tell you in detail after I put them down."
If Wu Pu felt uncomfortable at the beginning because the way he met Zhang Zhongjing was a bit strange, now that they had talked a few words, he let go of the discomfort and decided to just let it go with the idea of broken jar.
Anyway, it would be good enough as long as the purpose of the Lord in establishing Chiyang Medical College can be achieved.
Zhang Zhongjing was silent for a moment before replying with "OK".
As he said this, he couldn't help but glance at the moving team behind him, and then seemed to look at his arm unintentionally, feeling that he had lost a lot to some extent.
But who can say that this was not a successful and harmonious meeting between northern and southern doctors?
After all, when Qiao Yan came to inspect the medical school on the second day, Zhang Zhongjing and Wu Pu were already directing the construction workers here to make detailed divisions of the areas of each department.
In this June, the establishment of Guanzhong Medical College and Painting Academy was in full swing, and the work of farming and water conservancy was never slackened. Those wealthy families who got the soy sauce recipe also started the process of making soy sauce.
Also in June, Yuan Shao began to try to add horseshoes to his cavalry. According to the judgment made by his subordinates, he used the horses sent from Youzhou to Yecheng and another part of Qingzhou war horses to try to breed with donkeys to produce mules. He also assigned additional personnel to participate in the study of allicin, strong liquor and soy sauce.
In a sense, the situation on Yuan Shao's side can also be described as in full swing.
As for whether the direction is correct, that is another question.
But some places seem particularly quiet.
This is certainly not referring to Cao Cao's Yanzhou.
The construction of the new Chang'an Road and the series of displays that followed stimulated not only Yuan Shao, but also Cao Cao.
He thought that he couldn't possibly be unable to answer his son's questions after taking Cao Pi back one day. He also vaguely felt that Qiao Yan's preparations for a rainy day were not in vain, so he continued to hone his skills in Yanzhou.
All he can say is that he seems to be doing nothing.
I'm not talking about Liu Biao's Jingzhou.
Even though Liu Biao sent his eldest son to Chang'an and maintained a relatively decent relationship with the court in Chang'an, he should be relieved now.
However, Sun Ce in Jiangdong continued to grow stronger, like a ferocious beast that could pounce on him at any time, making it difficult for Liu Biao not to develop a sense of crisis.
It is hard to say whether the deterrent power of the imperial court can suppress Sun Ce's desire to avenge his father's death, as the emperor is far away.
Therefore, Liu Biao expanded his navy again this year to prevent Sun Ce from choosing to march west after successfully capturing Kuaiji County.
This place should be called, undercurrents surge beneath the calm surface.
The truly quiet place is Xuzhou.
When Yuan Shao refused to confer the title of governor on Yuan Shu and the two brothers fell out, Tao Qian was promoted from the original governor of Xuzhou to the current governor of Xuzhou.
Under his command as governor, the Taishan bandits, Xuzhou powerful families, and Buddhist believers have eliminated all external threats in Xuzhou.
Logically speaking, this should be the time for him to either further rectify people's livelihood internally or show an enterprising spirit in foreign relations.
But Tao Qian had none of those.
He is over sixty years old.
This age cannot be considered old in the political arena, just like Lu Zhi and Zhao Qi can be considered strong despite being old. But compared with Qiao Yan, Cao Cao, Yuan Shao, Sun Ce and others, this is indeed a bit old.
What's more, Tao Qian did not have a descendant who could inherit the power of Xuzhou.
He looked towards Xuzhou.
Since he recommended Chen Deng of Xia Pi as the commander of agriculture, Chen Deng has been cultivating farmland and inspecting the land in Xuzhou, building irrigation projects, and relying on the good weather in recent years, he has achieved a bumper rice harvest.
Zuo Rong, who is now in Guangling, gathers Buddhist believers to build Buddhist temples and turns some bandits roaming around the country into laborers here, creating a prosperous scene.
Lu Su, Zhao Yu, Wang Lang and others whom he employed were all good at government affairs, and they had ensured that there was no public resentment in Xuzhou for several years.
He looked outside Xuzhou again.
Yuan Shao in the north was staring at Gongsun Zan and Qiao Yan's movements, but he didn't care what he was doing.
Sun Ce in the south was about to move south. Even if he was going to take any other action, it would only be to go west to attack Liu Biao, which had nothing to do with Tao Qian.
In short, whether at home or abroad, Tao Qian is as safe as can be at this moment.
He is old now, why can't he take a rest and wait until the courts in Chang'an and Yecheng come to a conclusion?
Anyway, everything he has done in Xuzhou is worthy of the title of Mu of Xuzhou.
But what he didn't know was that in this comfortable silence, there was a voice that was not so peaceful.
The owner of this voice said to his subordinates: "Tell me, can I replace old man Tao Qian?"
