Chapter 928 Feudal Class
The main reason Li Sanniang came to Ping'an Women's Medical College today was to take on the job that the Court of State Ceremonies had assigned to her through the Imperial Medical Bureau.
Isn't the Emperor's birthday just over a month away?
This year is not only Emperor Wu's birthday, but the case of the opium den is also nearing its conclusion. The European aliens hidden behind the scenes were found through the Temple Gate, and the Tang Dynasty achieved a near-perfect victory in the war in the south.
In recent years, the Tang Dynasty has truly become the center of the world, and the Tang culture radiating outward from the Tang Dynasty has been influencing the entire world at an astonishing speed.
This year, hundreds of foreign delegations from all corners of the world will come to Chang'an to pay homage during the Emperor's birthday celebrations. They will come from Silla, Baekje, and Japan in the east, Annam and Zhenla in the south, India further afield, and all the large and small tribes and kingdoms in the west and north.
It can be said that since last year, the Court of State Ceremonial has been the busiest government office in Chang'an.
As the Emperor's birthday approached, the Court of State Ceremonial had more and more things to do, and it wasn't difficult for the Court of State Ceremonial to find out what Li San Niang had done through the Imperial Medical Bureau.
Actually, it was because of the first Physician Exchange Conference of the Tang Dynasty held by the Imperial Medical Bureau earlier.
At that time, Li San Niang was only focused on promoting the maternity ward in order to recruit female doctors. After the exchange meeting, many doctors from different ethnic groups, such as witch doctors and sorcerers from the south, shamans from the east, and priests from the north, also took the stage to show their unique skills.
What shocked the foreign doctors at the exchange meeting was not the surgical suturing and dissection demonstrated by the physicians of the Imperial Medical Bureau on the high platform. These people were not surprised or frightened by the bloody scenes or human limbs.
Yes, what greatly interested them and regarded as a divine skill was the fact that Li San Niang and Chen Yan Fu delivered a sow's baby on the high platform!
Although the document from the Court of State Ceremonial was written in elegant language, Li San Niang could guess why the foreign doctor was interested in cesarean sections.
It's very simple: if a woman can successfully give birth, then the community has hope and a future.
But childbirth is truly like entering the gates of hell for women. Countless women die during childbirth, and even more are left with illnesses due to it.
Those foreign doctors weren't so much interested in cesarean sections as they were in maintaining their tribe's population and ensuring its continued existence.
"...That's the thing. I asked Ding, the registrar of the Court of State Ceremonies, and the Minister of the Court of State Ceremonies has already reported this matter to the Emperor. The Emperor's intention is to allow them to come and learn."
The specific arrangements were similar to those of the foreign students at the Imperial Academy. We were able to select students, and when these students came to the academy to study and learn, we would receive an extra tuition fee.
My idea is that, since that's the case, the college should just start another class.
As Li Sanniang finished speaking, she looked down at the dozen or so people sitting below. None of them spoke. Then Li Sanniang looked at Mei Ruying sitting to the side.
Mei Ruying looked around at everyone before speaking: "You all heard what Imperial Physician Li said. Although the Court of State Ceremonial has come to us, we are originally under the Imperial Medical Bureau, so it is only right that we cooperate with other departments."
There are places to open another class, so just open another class next to the outer class (those who come in through the back door).
With only so many of our men, it's clear that this isn't enough.
If any of you have relatives or friends who are capable and interested in working at the academy, please come and talk to me.
Just as Li Yijian said, although our academy is newly established, it is not short of money. If it is run well in the future, it is not impossible for it to become famous in the Tang Dynasty.
Therefore, everyone, we must all put our hearts into it.
"Yes, we'll have to work hard for you all these days. As the number of our teachers increases in the future, we'll make sure you have more days off."
After talking for a while, most of the afternoon had passed. Lu Zhu'er found her way back by herself. As soon as she saw Li San Niang, she said, "Mother, I saw Sister Hui Niang and met a new little girl."
Dewdrop walked up to Li Sanniang, took the teacup Li Sanniang handed her, and drank most of it with satisfaction before continuing to say to Li Sanniang: "Mother, I chatted with my two older sisters for a long time, and then I went to the classroom with them and listened to a lesson. Not only that, Sister Huiniang also took me to see where they live."
I haven't forgotten the task my mother gave me today. When I get home today, I'll write a report for her to see.
"Okay, Mother will wait."
Thus, Li San Niang and her party boarded the carriage and left Ping An Women's Medical College to return to Chang'an City.
The journey back to the city was much faster than when we left. However, even though we arrived at the city gate long ago, the line for entry and inspection was incredibly long.
Dewdrop saw a woman selling sweet soy milk, carrying a basket, walking back and forth between the waiting carriages outside the carriage window. She leaned out and called out to the woman in the wind, "Hey, lady selling soy milk."
As luck would have it, just as Dewdrop called out, another female voice with a strange tone followed closely behind, also calling for the woman selling fermented beverages.
Dewdrop was immediately curious and went to look in the direction of the sound, only to see a group of foreigners who were clearly from another race, because their clothes and appearance were really strange.
Seeing the woman who had been called looking at her and the foreigner who had called her in a dilemma, Dewdrop smiled at the woman and said, "My lady, just go over there first."
The woman selling fermented water gratefully bowed to the dewdrops on the carriage before heading towards the foreigners' group.
Dewdrop had seen many people of different races since she was a child, following the Li family in the West Market, but the appearance of this group of people of different races was something she had never seen before.
“Mother, look,” Dewdrop called to Li Sanniang, who got up and looked out the window. Only then did she understand why Dewdrop looked so curious.
This was because the leader of this group of foreigners was a woman, who wore various jewels on her head, had braids, and wore a round-necked robe. Instead of cloth socks, she was wearing straw sandals.
What's even stranger is that while there were men guarding the outer perimeter of this group of aliens, there were also quite a few women carrying bows and arrows on their backs and swords at their waists.
Dewdrop had seen women carrying knives before, but those were all wandering martial arts practitioners, mostly alone or in groups of three or five.
However, the women in this group of foreigners clearly looked like female warriors.
Female bodyguards were not uncommon in Chang'an. High-ranking noblewomen often kept them by their side for the purpose of close protection.
But such a female warrior was truly unprecedented in Chang'an, Li San Niang thought to herself, no wonder Lu Zhu'er was so surprised.
