Chapter 105 Medical School

Zhu Yijun asked Li Shizhen to come to Beijing, but he was attracted to the artificial classification method he created. This is a scientific method of classifying organisms and minerals according to their practicality and shape, and classifying them into different categories. .

From Zhu Yijun's point of view, it is not surprising that Li Shizhen and Zu Chongzhi enjoy a high status in the history of world science. Although there are many errors in the Compendium of Materia Medica, its scientific classification method is a century and a half earlier than that of Linnaeus's "Natural System", the founder of Western modern plant taxonomy, and is known as the "Great Book of Oriental Medicine".The far-reaching impact on the development of medicine, botany, zoology, mineralogy, and chemistry in the world can be described as far-reaching.

The biology students of later generations have memorized the seven classifications of world, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.

As everyone knows, in the history of human civilization, taxonomy is the beginning of the budding of science.The reason why the Chinese named science as "science" means "a branch of science that reflects the objective laws of nature, society, thinking, etc.".In a word, you can't learn without a subject!

The earliest biological classification of Chinese ancestors was recorded in the Western Zhou Dynasty, which is two less than the biological classification methods of Western scientists Lin Nei, but 2000 years ahead.

The later Chinese taxonomic ideas are reflected in many documents, and the most brilliant is the "Compendium of Materia Medica".No matter how many fallacies are recorded in it, the thought on the taxonomy of organisms and minerals alone is enough to shine through the ages.

The content of Zhu Yijun's study in the later party school is not only the history of junior high school such as the simple flying shuttle and the Jenny machine induced the industrial revolution.

He remembered very clearly that when he was in a class at a party school, a young female teacher asked for a lot of references, and told about the hobbies of the European aristocrats and some arty bourgeoisie in the fields of geology, minerals, biology and even insects, which greatly promoted new geographical discoveries. , and laid the foundation for modern science.

The first fruits of the Industrial Revolution and the Enlightenment in later generations were scientific investigations and explorations popular among the leisure class in Europe.

On the one hand, they fund mathematicians and scientists, and on the other hand, they also engage in superficial research in geology, minerals, biology, etc., which directly induces great strides in chemistry and physics.The first group of rich people started with seemingly simple geological, mineral and biological classifications.

Later Darwin had benefited from the "Compendium of Materia Medica" and called it "an ancient Chinese encyclopedia". ——And some Chinese people in later generations, those arty people who held the "British Empire Encyclopedia" and "National Geographic Magazine" in their study, did one ever have the "Mo Jing" and "Compendium of Materia Medica" beside them? ", "Kao Gong Ji", "Shui Jing Zhu", "Mengxi Bi Tan", "Heavenly Creation" and so on countless Chinese treasures?

Zhu Yijun asked Li Shizhen to return to Beijing. In addition to taking advantage of the few scientifically literate brains in this era, he also took advantage of his character who likes to research and study to engage in research on cowpox.

After the early years of Jiajing in the Ming Dynasty, smallpox was widespread in the empire.Zhu Yijun once reported in the early [-]s of Wanli that there was a doctor named Fu Sichuan in Ningguo Prefecture who mastered the method of "cooking the vaccine for human pox" and thought it would be profitable to vaccinate children.

What Zhu Yijun didn't know was that the human acne technique spread from Fu Sichuan's hands spread to the Arab world at the speed of light, and saved the West from the ravages of smallpox.

Human pox was once commented by the great philosopher Voltaire: "I heard that for 100 years, the Chinese have always had the habit of inoculating pox; this is a great precedent and example of a nation that is considered the most intelligent and polite in the world ” At the time of the enlightenment of Western thought, without Fu Sichuan’s smallpox technique, how many people would have died of smallpox virus.

This report reminded Zhu Yijun that the popularization of cowpox in the empire must be put on the agenda.He knew that smallpox was the only infectious disease that had been eradicated by humans, and that the vaccine was derived from cowpox, but he didn't know whether it was feasible to directly use the pus from cowpox to inoculate it.

So he summoned Fu Sichuan from Ningguo to the capital, and after some guidance, ordered him to study cowpox.However, Fu Sichuan's method of human pox originated from his ancestors.

At this time, Zhu Yijun thought of Li Shizhen again, and ordered the Jinyiwei Huguang Bureau to look for him and let him go to Beijing - but because the Huguang Bureau did not make it clear to Li Shizhen at the beginning, Li Shizhen did not enter Beijing until the end of September to take up this task.

Others who entered Beijing earlier than Li Shizhen were the "Medicine Sage" Wanquan Wanmi Zhai, and Chen Shigong, who was proficient in surgery.

Although Wanquan was over old at this time, under the summons of the emperor, he still packed the "Ten Kinds of Medical Books of Wanmi Zhai", including "Keys of Internal Medicine", "Functions of Young Children", and "Secrets of Parenting", in his luggage. Inside, and six apprentices brought to the capital.

Because of its famous name, Wan Mi Zhai entered the capital, causing a sensation in the capital.This house of honorable officials almost filled the house of Wanquan Renju with posts and gifts.Because this old man has a noble medical morality, "he treats the sons of others as his own" and will not refuse others, he was asked to see a doctor from the first day to two months later.

Seeing that he was not the head, Zhu Yijun was afraid that he would be tired, so he quickly sent someone to invite him into the palace, and enshrined him in the imperial hospital like a bodhisattva.The imperial doctors of this imperial hospital saw Wan Mi Zhai coming, and they didn't even have the idea of ​​winning. All of them wore flat clothes and made the old man happy every day. They didn't feel uncomfortable at all.

After asking Wan Mi Zhai to check the body of the Empress Dowager Liang Gong and himself, and after taking a health care class.Zhu Yijun formally summoned Wan Mi Zhai, Chen Shigong and others, and made clear his purpose and all the details - to take advantage of the opportunity at this time, to re-establish the Medical Promotion Department established in the early days of Taizu, and to set up the first real medical system in the Ming Dynasty. University - Jingshi Medical College.

In accordance with the school-running model of the later medical school that integrated production, education and research, the medical school was also modeled on the Nanyuan Martial Arts College, and the first mountain chief was Wanquan Wanmi Zhai.Zhu Yijun built a palace wall in the northwest corner of Xiyuan, and then opened a gate on the original palace wall, that is, cut off the abandoned small campus from Xiyuan and used it as the school site of the medical school.

At the same time, Zhu Yijun also opened a small door on the newly built palace wall as the back door of the medical school.In this way, if he is ill in the future, he can immediately organize a large-scale consultation by opening this small door.Although this may make the imperial physicians in the Imperial Hospital feel uncomfortable, Zhu Yijun, who has been the emperor for almost two years, can take care of their thoughts at this time.

The establishment of a medical school is no different from the later universities in terms of system and mechanism.After the exchange between Zhu Yijun and Wan Mizhai and others, the medical school will set up major departments such as the Department of Medicine, the Department of Nursing, and the Department of Pharmacy, including internal medicine, surgery, gynecology, pediatrics, infectious diseases, pharmacy, pathology, etc. specialist.

When Nanyuan Martial Arts College was established, there were still some noises in the imperial court. The establishment of the Capital Medical College was full of praise from the imperial court.Zhu Yijun not only learned the famous double standards of the officials, of course, he also wanted to stimulate them. After discussing with Chen Shigong, he also set up an anatomy in the medical school to engage in human anatomy research.

What made Zhu Yijun even more unexpected was that this new discipline that led to many versions of horror stories among the common people in the capital had not yet caused any backlash from the censors and officials.

Only then did Zhu Yijun know that these so-called "walking in the right way and raising the spirit of grandeur", when it comes to their own life safety, the well-known double standard has already broken through the sky of the Ming Dynasty.

　Lao Mo originally planned to end the first volume with a hundred chapters, but later found that several points in the outline were not written - you may have also discovered that these chapters did not advance the plot according to the time flow.There is no way, this kind of Tian Wen wants to make up a thrilling and exciting plot, which is beyond the reach of the current old brush.

　　However, this trivia-like plot will soon come to an end, and the flow of time will speed up - the ups and downs of the second volume will slowly unfold - so stay tuned.

　　Well, let's ask weakly, are there monthly tickets, recommended tickets and subscriptions?Thanks!
