Of course, Zhu Yunwen's idea was good, and it also showed that the medical clinic was funded by the imperial court and was an act of doing good for the people.
However, some doctors present were still very dissatisfied with this. The reason was simple: they believed that Zhu Yunwen was planning to extend his reach into the medical industry and threaten their livelihoods.
It's not hard to understand why they would have such thoughts. After all, looking back, most of the things Zhu Yunwen did before had harmed the interests of some people.
Since it will harm other people's interests, it is normal for them to be wary of it.
That's why some doctors start to judge others by their own petty standards.
For example, at this moment, an elderly doctor stood up and spoke:
"Your Highness, you are not knowledgeable in medicine. Is it not inappropriate to rashly change the existing medical environment?"
Another doctor also stood up and said:
"That's right. Healing and saving lives can't be achieved just by relying on some government policies. What's really needed is an improvement in medical skills."
At the same time, another elderly doctor with a white beard stood up and said:
"In my opinion, the Crown Prince's method is simply not feasible. Whether it's using the imperial court to fund the construction of clinics and medical schools, or offering affordable medical care to the common people, it's all the more important."
None of these are realistic. The most unrealistic thing is what His Highness said: to have some capable doctors teach new apprentices in the medical school. This even seems a bit ridiculous.
The medical traditions passed down through generations are extremely important; how can they be so carelessly and haphazardly passed on to others? Wouldn't that create chaos?
Hearing this, Zhu Yunwen got a little angry.
It is precisely because many ancient traditions, when being passed down, often held back some secrets or had extremely high requirements for the inheritors that many traditions were broken off for no apparent reason.
This was by no means a good thing, so Zhu Yunwen directly refuted the white-haired doctor:
"This old gentleman said that passing on his medical skills to a large number of descendants is a mess, which I find ridiculous. Passing on what one knows is a good thing in itself."
It would be even better if it could be passed on to more people and carried forward. Otherwise, if the tradition were to be lost, wouldn't that truly be chaos?
The old man, having been rebuked by Zhu Yunwen, widened his eyes and said defiantly:
"Your Highness is talking nonsense. In our great nation of China, the most important thing is to value the inheritance of knowledge. How can things like medicine be passed on to others so easily? Especially if others can learn it as they please, what kind of inheritance is that?"
Zhu Yunwen frowned: "So, according to you, some traditions are better lost than passed down to the world in large numbers, right?"
The old man with white hair and beard snorted and said:
"Even if the tradition is broken, it should not be passed on to others indiscriminately."
Zhu Yunwen squinted and said:
"Medicine itself should primarily be about saving lives and helping the world. That's why many medical techniques passed down from our ancestors were all aimed at treating illnesses and curing people."
Yet you would rather let such powerful medical skills be lost than pass them on to more people.
Wouldn't this be tantamount to harming people? It contradicts the very purpose that led to its creation; doesn't that seem ridiculous?
The old man with white hair and beard stared wide-eyed at Zhu Yunwen, momentarily speechless.
A moment later, he flicked his sleeve and sneered:
"Say whatever you want. Even if what you say makes sense, ask the doctors and physicians here."
Ask them if they are willing to impart their most valuable skills to their apprentices, and if they are willing to pass them on to even more people.
Upon hearing this, many doctors began to discuss it. Although they all knew that medical skills were for saving lives and that the knowledge passed down from their ancestors should indeed be disseminated.
Then he integrated and applied many methods of saving lives.
However, due to human selfishness, when it comes to them, the vast majority of people would not be willing to be so selfless.
In reality, their claims about not wanting to pass on their medical skills indiscriminately to future generations, and that they must carefully select one person to teach, and that they might even hold back some secrets, are all just excuses.
What is the real reason?
The real reason is that there's a saying: "Teach your apprentice, and you'll starve."
This is human nature, and it's what the doctors and physicians present are truly worried about.
If they pass on their knowledge and the superb medical skills they have inherited to other people.
So, if others learn it, wouldn't we only earn less money?
So, in the end, these so-called rules are nothing more than a desire to avoid doing things that harm one's interests.
It's simply that they can't say it outright; they have to find some reasons to make this excuse sound more respectable.
Faced with this situation, Zhu Yunwen also felt a bit of a headache.
Although everyone denies it on the surface, it doesn't mean they won't do such things.
If a medical school were to be established, and senior doctors were to pass on their advanced skills to future generations, would they really be willing to do so?
They inevitably hold onto an old mindset: always keep something in reserve.
Definitely unwilling to give away all their knowledge!
This leads to a situation where originally powerful medical skills are almost completely lost as each generation tries to hold back their skills, thus severing the lineage.
