Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 781, the heart of a saint

In addition, with the global colonization of Ming Dynasty, various diseases and infectious diseases from all over the world will slowly spread in Ming Dynasty.

Without a strong medical system, a huge empire is very likely to be defeated by a small disease.

On this point, the Native American Indians are the best illustration.

Because they have been separated from other continents for a long time, Indians have no immunity to smallpox virus. With the arrival of European colonists, smallpox virus was brought to America.

The European colonists in history even intentionally spread the smallpox virus on the American side, and the smallpox virus alone easily defeated the Indians on the American side, and millions, tens of millions of Indians died in the Under the smallpox virus, this allowed the European colonists to easily occupy this paradise.

The European colonists were different. Their medical skills and technology were relatively more developed. The large chickenpox and syphilis in the Americas also spread to Europe.

Although it also had some impact on the European side at the beginning, thanks to more advanced medical techniques and technology, the Europeans quickly controlled these diseases, and the situation in the Americas did not appear.

The global colonization of Ming Dynasty can bring great wealth and vast land to Ming Dynasty, and it also brings great challenges to Ming Dynasty. If the medical technology is not improved, maybe in the future, like the Indians, they will be killed by some kind of Overwhelmed by a dreadful disease.

Liu Jin, who came from later generations, has a clear understanding of this.

When he was in Nanyang, Liu Jin encountered unacceptable conditions when he was marching and fighting. Fighting in tropical areas requires all kinds of tests.

At this time, there were casualties in the battle, and Chinese medicine could not treat them well. This made Liu Jin feel that he should get out of a medical school as soon as possible and establish a complete set of medical system and medical system.

"What orders does Mr. Liu have, please speak up as soon as possible, as long as we can do it, we will try our best to do it."

Someone and everyone looked at each other, stood up and said.

"It's not that I called everyone here this time because someone in my house needs to see a doctor."

Liu Jin smiled and nodded, then thought for a while and said: "This time I led the army to fight in the Nanyang region, and my Ming soldiers felt unwell, and many diseases appeared."

"At this time, there were casualties on the battlefield. In many cases, many soldiers who could have been saved were killed because they did not receive timely and effective treatment."

"Because of this, I also want to establish a Daming Medical College. I have called all the genius doctors here. I also want to discuss with you how to establish this medical school, how to enroll students, how to teach, and more importantly, How to establish a complete set of medical system, create new medical fields and treatment methods, etc.”

Hearing Liu Jin's words, everyone was slightly startled. They were not here to treat illnesses, but to establish some kind of medical school.

This made it difficult for everyone.

Traditional Chinese medicine is passed down from father to son, son to grandson, or master to apprentice, which is different from large-scale teaching in private schools, and because it involves prescriptions, many prescriptions are exclusive prescriptions of some Chinese medicine , things that are not rumored outside, are extremely precious to see.

It’s okay for you to ask everyone to come to see a doctor. If you ask everyone to build a medical school and share the things accumulated by their ancestors to build some kind of medical school, everyone will naturally not be happy.

"Liu Gong, the establishment of a medical school is a very important matter, and it requires very superb medical skills. I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to participate. If I have nothing else to do, I will resign first."

Someone stood up on the spot and wanted to leave.

You are simply here to amuse people. You took me all the way to take me here. It turned out to be for some medical school. God knows what you have in mind for establishing this medical school.

Everyone calls you the God of Wealth, you don't think you want to make a fortune from this medical school, do you?

The prescriptions passed down from generation to generation by our ancestors are all priceless treasures. You want us to take them out to make you rich, dreaming?

Of course, this is just what many people are thinking, and it is impossible to say it in front of Liu Jin.

But there was little interest in establishing a so-called medical school.

For famous doctors like them, they are famous if they want to be famous. Many people are known as miracle doctors in the local area. If they want money, will doctors have no money since ancient times?
Since you can't get any benefits, why spend time and energy playing with you Liu Jin.

"That's OK~"

"Take this miracle doctor down to get a hundred taels of silver~"

Liu Jin looked at the other party, smiled and nodded, it's fine if you don't want to, don't force it.

In fact, I was prepared for this from the very beginning. It is very, very difficult for doctors of this era to study new fields. Chinese medicine is almost always repeated on the road of the predecessors, and few people can have it. breakthrough.

What's more, the medical school established by Liu Jin will definitely have surgery, and medical anatomy is absolutely indispensable. For doctors in this period, what would they do?
But without medical dissection, you have no way to have a detailed understanding of the human body. This surgical operation is out of the question. How should medical technology develop?
In this feudal era, where etiquette and civil defense were all the norm, ideological constraints were extremely serious, but medicine needed to break this constraint.

Forget about the reluctance of the older generation, Liu Jin still needs to start training from young people, even from pure whites, so that he can conduct research and improve better without the constraints of thinking.

"Liu Gong~"

"I'm also ignorant and inexperienced. I'm afraid I won't be able to do the job, so I will resign first~"

When the others saw it, many people also stood up and bid farewell to Liu Jin, and there were only five people left, including Li Tong and Qian Hui.

They live here in the capital, and Liu Jin has great influence in the Beijing-Tianjin area. Even if they want to leave, they can't be in such a hurry, and they are going to take a look first.

Liu Jin didn't care about the person who was leaving, so he asked his servants to take him down and get a hundred taels of silver to send back.

"Several of you didn't leave, presumably they are more interested in my proposal?"

Liu Jin was still very disappointed in his heart. These doctors at this time are indeed disappointing. They have no pioneering spirit, and they are worried that others will covet their prescriptions and medical skills.

But there are still five people left, more or less a few people.

"Liu Gong, I'm really interested in your proposal. For a long time, we in the medical field have cherished our own broom. In fact, many people know about a prescription, but they all treat it as a family heirloom. Outsiders can't even take a look at it." .”

"There are also very few exchanges of medical skills between each other. The inheritance is passed down from father to son, master to apprentice. In addition, there are very few opportunities for exchanges between colleagues and joint research to treat diseases."

"A long time ago, I actually wanted to open a school that specializes in teaching medical skills like a private school, but I have no way to realize it because of my weak words and weak strength."

"Now that I heard that Liu Gong wants to establish Daming Medical College, I am very excited and willing to come and work."

A man who looked to be in his forties stood up and said, he seemed a little agitated at this moment.

"May I ask your honorable name?"

When Liu Jin heard this, he quickly and respectfully said that in this era, those who are willing to share what they have learned and researched are truly impartial and selfless people with the world in mind.

In fact, many famous doctors in history were not popular at the time. For example, Li Shizhen, who was well-known in the history of the Ming Dynasty, worshiped various people as teachers in order to study medical skills, and even secretly learned medical skills.

At the time, this was definitely a taboo, but he dedicated himself to the public, collected various prescriptions, studied various medical techniques, and finally wrote the medical sacred books "Compendium of Materia Medica", "Border of Materia Medica" and "Border of Medicine". Lake Medicine", "Extraordinary Classics and Eight Meridians" and so on have been handed down to later generations.

Such a person is a true sage, a person who truly cares about the world, and a person worthy of respect.

The doctor in front of him actually had such a heart, which made Liu Jin admire him very much, and quickly asked respectfully.

"Don't dare~"

"Wu Yuntu in Lower Qingzhou!"

The other party quickly returned the salute and said.

"Mr. Wu, please sit down~"

Liu Jin said politely, and then said to the other four people: "I haven't asked the names of all the genius doctors~"

When the others heard it, they quickly replied one by one.

Li Tong, Qian Hui, Zhang Zhigang, Li Anyuan, Li Tong and Qian Hui are doctors from the capital, Zhang Zhigang is from Cangzhou, and Li Anyuan is a famous doctor from Huguang.

"Mr. Wu's words are actually what I want to say."

"For a long time, our medical skills have been very limited in inheritance and communication. We have passed down thousands of years of medical skills, and there has not been much progress and development until now. Even because we cherish our own, many prescriptions and medical skills have been lost. It has to be said that it is very regrettable.”

"Liu Gong has always liked to spend money to build various colleges. I have already heard about it, such as Shipbuilding Academy, Military Academy, Maritime Academy, etc. Because of Liu Gong's support, the establishment of these colleges has greatly promoted The development of our Ming Dynasty shipbuilding, military and maritime affairs."

"I've been waiting for you, Mr. Liu, to establish a medical school to promote the development of Ming Dynasty medicine, study various arts, and treat various diseases."

"Now it's finally here. I'm also very excited to hear what Liu Gong said."

Zhang Zhigang from Cangzhou also said excitedly.

His words also made Liu Jin couldn't help sighing, there are always people in this world who have the heart of the world and have a saint's heart.

"Build a heart for the world, establish the people for the people, inherit the knowledge for the sages, and create peace for all generations!"

Hearing what they said, Liu Jin stood up excitedly and said.

　Doctors in ancient times should be more self-respecting~
