Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 784, Different Liu Jin
In the imperial palace of the capital, in Emperor Hongzhi's study, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help stretching slightly after finishing the memorandum.

Daming was flourishing day by day, and as an emperor, his life was getting better and better, but he could clearly feel that his body was getting worse day by day, he was getting thinner day by day, and his spirit was not as good as before.

He is only in his thirties now, but he looks like an old man in his fifties.

"Xiao Jing, come here and let me beat my back~"

My waist was a little sore, I thought about it and shouted to Xiao Jing.

"Okay, Long Live ~"

Xiao Jing also hurried over, fart, fart.

While beating Emperor Hongzhi's back and rubbing his waist, he couldn't help sighing.

He watched Emperor Hongzhi grow up. He has been with Emperor Hongzhi for many years. He has been serving Emperor Hongzhi since he was the prince.

The original boy, in the blink of an eye, aged so quickly, even more haggard and vicissitudes than this old man. Although it takes a lot of energy to take care of the country's affairs, it is not so bad.

Emperor Hongzhi only had one woman, he was not greedy for sex, and he was not fond of wine and meat, but it was such an emperor who had gone through so many vicissitudes in his thirties.

"Your Majesty, would you like some supper?"

While pounding Emperor Hongzhi's back carefully, Xiao Jing also asked with a smile.

"No appetite, can't eat."

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head slightly.

"Long Live Lord, your food intake has been decreasing recently. It won't work if you continue like this. The body of the dragon is important, so you need to eat some."

Xiao Jing said with some concern, he was in charge of all the affairs of the emperor, and he knew that Emperor Hongzhi had eaten very little recently, of course, Emperor Hongzhi had always had a bad appetite.

"Okay, let's get some sweet potato porridge. I heard from Liu Jin that eating more coarse grains like sweet potatoes is good for your health."

Emperor Hongzhi was a little hungry, because he had a small appetite, so he generally ate small meals, eating a little each time, but more frequently.

"Hurry up and order the imperial dining room to cook sweet potato porridge~"

When Xiao Jing heard it, he immediately gave instructions to Xiao Huangmen happily, and when Xiao Huangmen heard it, he hurriedly went to inform the imperial dining room.

"What is Liu Jin doing recently?"

"I gave him a holiday, but he really didn't go to court all day, he was too lazy to go home."

Speaking of Liu Jin, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help asking about Liu Jin.

This year Liu Jin went to Nanyang to fight, and it took several months after he went out. After returning, Emperor Hongzhi also granted Liu Jin a two-month vacation.

For other officials, it would be enough to rest for a few days. How could they let go of the power in their hands and have to return to their posts early, or Pidian, Pidian came to the morning court to play for Emperor Hongzhi and so on.

Fortunately, he really took two months off after two months of vacation. Not only did he not come to court, but his household assistant also let go, and he didn't even come to the palace to pay his respects to him.

If the Governor of Ceylon Xianbao hadn't seen him once last time, Emperor Hongzhi would have thought that this kid was still in Nanyang.

"He was busy building a zoo with the prince some time ago, saying that he wanted to collect rare and exotic animals from all over the world, and then open it to everyone, so that everyone can know all kinds of rare and exotic animals in the world."

Xiao Jing thought for a while and quickly replied.

He is Emperor Hongzhi's secretary, and he is also in charge of Dongchang and Jinyiwei. He is the eyes and ears of Emperor Hongzhi, an important civil and military official in the court, and he also needs to pay close attention to their movements.

Being the emperor's secretary is not so easy, there are a lot of things to do, and you must be careful and patient enough.

"zoo?"

"All the nonsense, I don't know how much money it will cost to collect the rare and exotic beasts in the world, and what is good at the top will be worse at the bottom, so messing around with the prince like this."

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately said angrily.

The prince is still too playful, Liu Jin is a minister in the court, he should know this, he should guide the prince to go in a good direction, but hang out with the prince instead.

"Your Majesty, Liu Jin will never do business at a loss~"

"He said that after the zoo is completed, it will be open to ordinary people. At that time, even if the entrance fee is collected, the money invested will be recovered. It will also allow everyone to learn a lot, open their eyes, and get to know rare animals from all over the world."

Xiao Jing said with a smile.

"That's true, Liu Jin, even a stone, can be turned into gold."

"Forget it, let them go."

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he thought about it and nodded. Liu Jin didn't seem to have done any loss-making business.

"Liu Jin recently called together famous doctors from all over the world. He said that he wanted to build a medical school of Ming Dynasty, inherit the existing medical skills and create new medical skills at the same time. He also said that he wanted to learn the medical skills of other countries in the world so as to improve the medical skills of Ming Dynasty. Medicine."

Then Xiao Jing reported again.

"Gather famous doctors from all over the world and establish Daming Medical College?"

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "This kid is really different from ordinary people. Others are rich, powerful, or arrogant, or indulge in sensuality."

"It's good for him. He likes to build all kinds of colleges, military colleges, maritime colleges, shipbuilding colleges, and now he wants to build a medical school. It's really different."

"It's good to build a medical school. If it is done well, it will benefit the people of the world."

"Isn't that right? Liu Jin said that our Ming Dynasty's medical skills should gather the strengths of the world's medical skills, take the essence and discard the dross, and integrate them so that we can surpass ourselves and continue to develop and innovate."

"For this medical school, Liu Jin is very generous. He directly set aside thousands of acres of land in the southern suburbs of the capital, and invested a million taels of silver in the early stage."

Xiao Jing nodded and said, he knew every move of Liu Jin inside the palm of his hand, and even clearly knew the conversation between Liu Jin and several famous doctors.

"What a big handwriting~"

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help being amazed when he heard it. He knew that Liu Jin was rich, but he didn't expect that Liu Jin would be so generous in building a medical school, with thousands of acres of land in the capital city and millions of taels of silver. Just smash it down, without frowning.

"Your Majesty, Liu Jin has always been very willing in this regard. The Maritime Academy and the Naval Academy have also invested heavily. They have always been operating at a loss, and they are all supported by Liu Jin."

"He also said that not only a medical school should be built, but also a school of chemistry, physics, engineering, astronomy, art, etc."

"To build all kinds of colleges here near the medical school."

Xiao Jing also nodded and continued to report.

"School of a master, it's really beyond the imagination of ordinary people."

After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi shook his head slightly. He really couldn't figure out why Liu Jin wanted to build all kinds of colleges. All kinds of colleges.

Under the Miyun Iron Works are the School of Metallurgy, the School of Mechanics, and the Weapons Research Institute, which specialize in smelting steel and manufacturing various high-quality weapons.

Although the Jingcheng Machinery Factory bears the name of the factory, it is more of a place specializing in all kinds of machinery. Steam engines, steam engine harvesters, and tillage machines are all researched here.

The shipyard also has its own School of Shipbuilding Research, which specializes in the manufacture of ships. I heard that it is now researching how to apply steam engines to ships to manufacture steamships.

Emperor Hongzhi was very aware of these things. Thinking about it carefully, Liu Jin really liked running schools.

"Your Majesty, this new medical school has a system, which Liu Jin calls the Department of Surgery, which is mainly used to study the treatment of diseases through surgery."

"Liu Jin said that if he wants to do surgery, he must have enough research on the human body, so he plans to secretly build a human anatomy laboratory on a small island in Nanyang to study the structure of the human body and accumulate the foundation for surgery. "

After thinking about it, Xiao Jing also said that there is an extremely taboo place in Liu Jin Medical College.

"Anatomy of a human body?"

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he frowned slightly.

"Yes, Liu Jin means that there are many slaves in Nanyang, and these slaves can be used for experiments."

"This proposal was initially opposed by several famous doctors, but Liu Jin said that medicine must break free from the shackles of the mind, and only when you have a clear understanding of yourself can you truly improve your medical skills."

"Traditional medical skills have very little content on surgical operations. He said that on the battlefield, many soldiers lost too much blood and died. If we can study the blood of the human body, stop the bleeding and transfuse the bleeding soldiers in time, maybe we can cure them." .”

"All of this is based on a sufficient understanding of the human body."

Xiao Jing nodded, and then began to report the news.

"Well, since that's the case, let him go to toss."

"What Liu Jin said is also reasonable. Only by knowing your enemy and yourself can you win a hundred battles."

"This kind of research may be harmful to nature and against human reason, but it is also for the purpose of improving medical skills and treating more people."

Emperor Hongzhi thought for a while and nodded to express his approval. Everything that Liu Jin has done so far has never disappointed Emperor Hongzhi. He believes in Liu Jin.

More importantly, Liu Jin built the medical school to improve Daming's medical skills, to train more medical talents, and to benefit Daming. This is a good thing.

He has no reason to object, even though the medical school will use slaves to do experiments, dissect human bodies, etc., which is very taboo in traditional thinking.

But none of that matters.

"That's right, Liu Jin established the School of Medicine for the sake of Daming. This study of surgery is also for saving people. The starting point is good, and maybe in the future I can really research something that can improve my Ming's medical skills and treat more patients. people."

Xiao Jing also nodded, he had said a lot of good things for Liu Jin.
