Chapter 132 Chapter 132 Imperial Physician Training
As the current number one medical expert in Da'an, Zhu Shixi was personally appointed by Lin Si as the Director of the Imperial Medical Bureau.
This was an official position that had not existed before, and it was specially chosen for Zhu Shixi.
The status of the Imperial Medical Bureau in Dachen was low, and even the Imperial Medical Bureau Director was only a minor official of the seventh rank.
Zhu Shixi's Imperial Physician Commander was a third-rank official.
The doctors of the Imperial Medical Bureau knew that there was a miraculous doctor under the command of Anping County Princess when Lin Si was still the county princess, but at that time they thought that the miraculous doctor must be an elderly man.
As a doctor, experience is accumulated. Naturally, the older they get and the more experienced they are, the more advanced their medical skills will be.
When everyone was gathered in the Imperial Medical Bureau waiting for the arrival of this miracle doctor.
Zhu Shixi and his disciples appeared in the expectant eyes of the imperial doctors.
The imperial physicians only saw a young lady, who was only a few years older than the emperor, leading a young man and a young lady who were even younger than her into the gate of the Imperial Medical Bureau.
The imperial doctors did not dare to express their doubts and could only look at each other.
Everyone had the same question in their mind: He is so young, is he really a miracle doctor?
Zhu Shixi never said any polite words. Except for when her mind worked quickly when she saw something related to medicine, she was stubborn the rest of the time.
Liang Nian told Zhu Shixi alone.
"Then you should keep quiet and act cool. Let your disciples handle the rest."
Zhu Shixi blinked his large, flickering eyes. "How can this be? As a master, how can I let my apprentice stand in my way?"
Liang Nian said earnestly, "Tell me, do you believe in me and His Majesty?"
Zhu Shixi nodded obediently. "Of course I believe it. Your Majesty and Prime Minister Liang have never harmed me in all these years."
Liang Nian: .......
"Then listen to me. Once you enter the Imperial Medical Bureau, adopt the same aloof attitude you usually use when you refuse His Majesty's invitation to dinner."
Zhu Shixi looked at the imperial doctors who saluted her, and remembered Liang Nian's instructions. She remained expressionless and did not say a word in response.
Tang Xing, the eldest disciple, had already received Liang Nian's instructions. He stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty is now interested in improving Da'an's overall medical standards. This naturally starts with the Imperial Medical Bureau. Your Majesty intends that all the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau should relearn the basics and theories of medicine."
The imperial physicians nodded in agreement, each of them feeling extremely uneasy.
Zheng Li, the Imperial Medical Bureau's Director, was already over forty years old and had white hair.
When he started learning again, since he had the highest seniority and the best medical skills in the Imperial Medical Bureau, he was allowed to learn from Zhu Shixi.
The forty-year-old man suddenly became the group's favorite junior brother.
He didn't know if it was Zheng Li's illusion, but he always felt that Zhu Lingzhe's disciples looked at him with excessive friendliness, as if they were looking at a child.
Come on, he's more than old enough to be their father!
Zheng Li finished a day's study and returned home exhausted.
What he learned these days completely overturned many of his previous cognitions.
Therefore, as soon as Zheng Li returned home, he couldn't help but think about life and whether what he had learned in the past was completely useless.
During his studies, Zheng Li seldom communicated with his family. When he came to his senses, his wife was already fascinated by that scumbag husband, while his son and daughter-in-law were standing at the door holding their granddaughter and talking.
"Father... these days, officials in Anjing are sending their children to study in Xihe Road. We only just found out about this now, but it's already too late. Anyway, you're busy attending classes at the Imperial Medical Bureau every day, so we plan to take Mother to Lingzhou to familiarize ourselves with the environment and secure a place for next semester."
Zheng Li's eyes widened, "You all want to leave?"
Mrs. Zheng packed her luggage and said, "You've never inquired about this information. Nowadays, it's popular not to let children lose at the starting line."
Zheng Li rubbed his forehead helplessly, "I'm just a small Imperial Medical Bureau official. I don't even have the qualifications to attend court. How could I know anyone in the court to ask about this?"
Then Zheng Li was the only one left in his house, along with some servants.
Zheng Li's house was far from the palace, and even taking an oxcart would take some time to get there, so he had to get up early every day.
I got up early today, but looking at the empty house, I felt unhappy.
Zhu Shixi naturally didn't notice Zheng Li's change of mood. It was Bu Yi who told him, "What's wrong with Doctor Zheng? Why are you in such a bad mood today?"
Zheng Li smiled awkwardly, "Nothing happened. It's just that my family went to Lingzhou for my child's studies, and I'm a little uncomfortable with it."
Zheng Li is old and his eyesight is not very good, so he usually just watches from the side during anatomy classes.
The other imperial doctors performed simple incisions and sutures under Ah Qing's supervision.
When the imperial physicians have learned enough, they will invite doctors from all over the country who have not received training to come to Anjing.
When Zhu Shixi thought about the fact that he would soon have many students all over the world, he couldn't help but sigh how stupid these doctors were.
Her disciples are obviously not stupid at all and learn things very quickly, so why is their progress so slow in the Imperial Medical Bureau?
Finally, under Zhu Shixi's various urgings, the doctors of the Imperial Hospital successfully completed their training. Then, doctors from other places came to Anjing in batches.
*
The doctors from Tongchuan Road were the first batch.
Shen You'er learned female medicine from her mother since she was a child. During the turmoil in the previous two years, she lost her husband at a young age. She relied on her pediatric skills to make a living and survived until Lin Si ascended the throne.
Shen Youer didn't have money to open a clinic, so he practiced medicine in his yard. He collected most of the medicines in the mountains, dried them, and stored them himself.
Fortunately, people's lives became much better after the new emperor ascended the throne. Many patients who had been cured by her sent potatoes and sweet potatoes to her, saying that they were not worth much and asked Shen Youer to keep them at home for emergency use.
Because of the natural disasters in the past two years, the people have developed the habit of being prepared for danger in times of peace. Although they have potatoes and sweet potatoes so they won't starve to death, what if there is another heavy snow? Potatoes and sweet potatoes can be stored for a long time, so they can store some at the beginning of the month and eat them at the end of the month if everything is fine.
Shen You'er originally thought that her life would go on peacefully like this until one day Bai Zhi from the provincial government knocked on her door.
Shen Youer thought she was here to see a doctor, but when she opened the door, she found out that he was asking her if she wanted to go to Anjing for training.
Shen Youer stood there in a daze for dozens of seconds, and simply didn't understand what this training meant.
If she hadn't seen Bai Zhi before during the household census, she would have thought he was a liar.
Bai Zhi immediately explained to Shen Youer that it was the emperor's request that doctors from all over the country voluntarily go to Anjing for training. They could sign up first and wait for the time coordination notification. People from several medical clinics had already signed up.
Shen You'er pointed at himself and said, "I shouldn't be considered a regular doctor. I don't even have a shop. Does that count as treating patients at home?"
Bai Zhi added, "Your Majesty and Zhu Lingzhe value female doctors. Doctor Shen is so famous in this area, don't underestimate yourself. Zhu Lingzhe is here to give lectures. The prescription that cured the epidemic back then was developed by Zhu Lingzhe, and I wonder how many people he saved."
Shen Youer didn't hesitate this time: "I'll go!"
Of course she knew Doctor Zhu, as she had saved several children with this prescription.
It is a rare opportunity to have such a doctor teach you.
Shen Youer signed up and waited for a while before he was arranged to board the ox cart to Beijing.
The arrangements made by the provincial government were very appropriate. The doctors would receive subsidies when they went and when they came back. If they passed the training, the Baizhimen would promote it vigorously.
This is very cost-effective for those who run a medical clinic.
Because the people will definitely give priority to doctors who have been trained in the Imperial Medical Bureau in Beijing.
This first group of people included not only Shen Youer, but also several female doctors.
Since ancient times, female doctors have only treated children and women, especially during childbirth, which is a very terrifying stage in life.
Several female doctors gathered together and talked about their nervousness.
One of the female doctors was in her thirties. She had not received any systematic medical education and could not even read. She practiced medicine based on her own experience, especially in the areas of delivery and postpartum care.
Since she didn't have to spend any money on her trip to Beijing and could still earn money when she came back, she did some calculations and found it was a great deal.
She could even go to Anjing. God, she never thought she would be able to go to Anjing in this life.
Arriving in Anjing, a group of doctors were dragged to the door of a large house. The illiterate female doctor poked Shen Youer, "What's written on this plaque? It can't be the Imperial Medical Bureau, but isn't the Imperial Medical Bureau located in the palace?"
Shen Youer raised his head and saw three big words written on it: Medical School.
The illiterate female doctor looked confused. "Medical school? What do you mean?"
"I don't know either." Shen Youer shook his head.
Then we entered the venue and checked the names and number of people.
Wu Anbo taught the first class, which included basic things such as diagrams of the internal organs and the composition of bacteria.
Wu Anbo's lectures were so practical that the doctors had no trouble following them. The illiterate female doctor found them the easiest to follow, and even found them quite amusing. Because she had never systematically studied theoretical knowledge, she absorbed this new information very quickly.
The doctors in the clinic all looked embarrassed to learn.
Shen Youer's learning was somewhere in between the two.
After class, it was time for lunch. Lunch was distributed to everyone, each with their own bowl. Everyone had to help themselves to avoid wasting food.
Shen Youer had to admit that this was much better than what she ate at home. She had never eaten rabbit meat before.
In the afternoon, all the female doctors were called into a room alone.
This is a separate course for female doctors, and Ah Qing is responsible for giving lectures to them.
The content mainly revolves around gynecology and childbirth. Before speaking, Ah Qing conveyed Lin Si's words with sparkling eyes.
"Your Majesty has said that throughout history, many doctors have been recorded, but not a single female doctor has been mentioned. Female doctors can bring mothers back from the brink of death and treat various ailments of young women. Their contributions are no less than those of others. Now that Your Majesty has ascended the throne, you must record these remarkable female doctors so that future generations will know of their contributions to medicine. I hope that you will share my wish and become a female doctor whose name will be remembered in history."
