Hongwu Survival Guide

Chapter 36
The next day, after Zhu Yuan had breakfast, he had just dealt with a small chore when he received 'good' news.

Got promoted again!

He has just been promoted to a fourth-rank Hanlin Shidu bachelor, and then he is promoted to a third-rank Hanlin bachelor.

This time, unlike before, there was a very formal imperial decree.

It can be heard that it was written by Lao Zhu himself, very vernacular, with all kinds of praise.One of the sentences, "The knowledge offered is no less than the words of Confucianism", made Zhu Yuan feel a lot of pressure.

The three immortals of Confucianism: establish virtue, perform meritorious service, and establish words.This is the highest pursuit of countless pious Confucian scholars in their lives.

Although...

But just this sentence, how many old masters will be offended!
Grandfather, you can praise it, why do you hurt me?

Not only that, Lao Zhu also added to Zhu Yuan a newly established rank of deputy envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital, ranking from the third rank, second only to the envoy of the Taiyuan Hospital of the third rank.

God open your eyes.

I, a medical white man who has not even read half a page of medical books, unexpectedly became the second in command of Tai Hospital, the highest medical institution in Ming Dynasty.

Ok.

In the future, whoever is not pleasing to the eye, we will come to treat him.

Deputy envoy of the Imperial Hospital appointed by the Holy Majesty, how dare you say that I prescribed two catties of arsenic to no avail? You are not targeting me, you are targeting His Majesty the Emperor. Your thinking is very dangerous!

In the reception hall of the mansion.

Zhu Yuan sent away Zhan Tong, another Hanlin colleague who came to pass the decree. His thin body was nestled cross-legged on the large grand master chair covered with a thick padded coat and a brown bearskin like a later sofa. The old god was browsing the attached one A list of rewards.

Never get promoted and get rich.

Now that he has been promoted, the rewards will certainly not be less.

The first is the generous 120 hectares of land.

One hectare in the Ming Dynasty was 100 mu, and 120 hectares was 1 mu.Of course, the land rewarded this time is relatively far away. In Suzhou, it is presumably obtained by confiscating Zhang Shicheng and his subordinates.But it is conceivable that the land over there is definitely comparable to Zhu Yuan's previous income.

After all, 'Suhu is familiar, the world is full'.

In the current troubled times, the land is worthless, but it is only relative.

Like a high-grade paddy field that can yield about two stones a year, Zhu Yuan felt that no matter what, it would cost ten taels of silver per mu, which is equivalent to Lao Zhu rewarding him with 12 taels of silver at a time.

Secondly, a mansion was built by imperial edict.

I said this yesterday, but to enclose all the 100-odd mu of land on the current island, how much it will cost...it's hard to say.

Furthermore, the male and female servants are fifty each.

Haven't watched yet.

Compared with the first three items, there are so many money, silk and rare treasures in the follow-up, just a little browsing, and tens of thousands of taels to say the least.

Tens of thousands of taels!

Xieyi opened the curtain and probed, seeing her little official sitting cross-legged and wandering in the sky, she called softly, and waited for Zhu Yuan to recover before walking in with Liu Bai behind her: "Little official, the reward given by your majesty, you Do you want to check it yourself?"

Zhu Yuan didn't answer, and motioned to the table next to him. Liu Bai immediately stepped forward, poured water, and sent it to his little official.

After taking a sip of warm tea and putting down the cup, Zhu Yuan looked at the list again, raised his head after a while, and sighed: "I'm just a child, why should I take on such a big responsibility?"

After sighing, she turned to the two girls who were silent: "Xiyi, how about changing my name to Zhu Parker?"

Freehand: "..."

The little official started again.

Zhu Yuan is not hypocritical.

These days, he has also figured out one of Lao Zhu's temperament: the more you give, the more you want.

Lao Zhu doesn't do business at a loss.

Now, given so much at once, Zhu Yuan thinks that he will be worse than the donkey of the production team in the future!
For example, in this list, Lao Zhu obviously didn't forget one of them, and it was twice as much as last time.

Two hundred knives of paper of various colors.

It can fill a room now.

Zhu Yuan was chatting with two girls when the curtain was pulled open again. Qingqiu came in carefully holding a piece of brocade, showed it to Zhu Yuan and said, "Little official, one of the servants fell down, this... gone."

Said and sent to Zhu Yuan.

Zhu Yuan glanced at the brocade with a bright red background and fine gold flowers. One corner seemed to have been wiped, but there were still some inconspicuous traces of mud and water.

Feeling a little special, pick up that page again.

Before he found it, Liu Bai whispered, "Your Majesty only gave me this golden brocade."

Qingqiu whispered: "The servant is kneeling outside."

Zhu Yuan put down the list, shook his head and said, "If it's dirty, just wash it, what else can I do? I don't even pack such a good thing."

Qingqiu argued weakly: "It's wrapped, the oil paper on the outside is broken, but fortunately there is a layer of linen to separate it."

"Hurry up and let someone wake up, just pretend it's nothing," Zhu Yuan said impatiently, thinking of another matter, he asked Qingqiu again: "Send it away?"

This sentence made no sense, and the expressions of the three women in the room, big and small, suddenly looked a little weird.

Qingqiu lowered his eyes: "Send it off."

Actually, it was about Qingqiu's daughter.

After Qingqiu brought him over after breakfast, Zhu Yuan was taken aback and realized that he had miscalculated.

According to daily knowledge in previous lives, women who are around 30 years old usually have children who are only five or six years old, and at most no more than ten years old.And a certain girl named Gao Lvcha... is 16 years old this year.

At that time, Zhu Yuan felt bad.

ask.

My stepdaughter is older than my stepfather, what should I do?
Wait online.

After waiting for 1 minute, no one answered, so Zhu Yuan asked Miss Gao to go back and forth.

After sending Qingqiu away, Zhu Yuan saw that Liu Bai still had a strange expression, and glared at her: "What are you looking at, we are not Western barbarians who don't understand etiquette, we still have to avoid suspicion."

Liu Bai blinked: "Young official, I don't understand."

Zhu Yuan said: "In the future, I will find you a book of western myths and stories, and you will understand after reading it."

Liu Bai nodded: "Yes."

But he couldn't help thinking, no way, the little official drove her away because the girl's feet were bound.

I just said it yesterday.

otherwise……

And that girl Gao, who was reluctant to leave, was still holding her mother's arm when she got into the car, crying.

Zhu Yuan glanced at Liu Bai's bright eyes, and turned to Xie Yi: "Liu Bai is slandering me, help me think about it, how should I punish her?"

Freehand: "..."

In fact, I am also complaining.

Liu Bai gradually figured out the temper of his petty official, he was not afraid, and unconsciously 'provoked': "Little official, His Majesty rewarded those... Slave saw that there are also six bound feet."

As the girl spoke, she raised her two slender hands, five plus one, and six green onions stood up.

Zhu Yuan threatened: "Besides, wrap your feet too."

Liu Bai slightly bent the corners of his mouth, and retracted his neck cooperatively.

He said a few more random words, and was about to send the two ladies away so that he could think about life quietly, when Zuo Qi lifted the curtain: "Young official, Mr. Dai, and the Sun Yuan of the Taiyuan Hospital have sent them here."

Zhu Yuan sighed.

Look, here's the thing.

I will introduce myself later: Hello everyone, my name is Zhu Maolu. Don't look at the ugly name, the word "Zhu" has a big origin, it is Zhu Yuanzhang's Zhu!

just think about it.

In order not to scare everyone, forget it.

This side promised, Zuo Qi quickly let Dai Sanchun and Sun Shouzhen, the imperial hospital envoy, enter the door.

Zhu Yuan got up, and first solemnly thanked Sun Shouzhen and others for saving their lives before, and congratulated Dai Sanchun.Zhan Tong just mentioned by the way that Dai Sanchun was also promoted from an eighth-rank imperial doctor to a fourth-rank imperial physician.

Obviously, Lao Zhu wanted Dai Sanchun to cooperate with him in the development of new medicine.

Everyone exchanged greetings, and the guests and hosts were seated.

The two Xieyi brought tea, and Zhu Yuan was finally able to look at everyone carefully.

Sun Shouzhen, the envoy of the Imperial Hospital, was nearly seventy years old. He was tall and thin, with a long beard and a clean demeanor. One glance could make people feel like an old fairy.

In addition to Dai Sanchun, there were three other people, Ge Jingshan, another magistrate of the Imperial Hospital who was at the fourth rank, and Lu Weigong and Du Tianxi, two judges who were at the fifth rank.

While looking around, Zhu Yuan also saw joy on everyone's faces.

After speaking, I found out that this morning, the whole group of them also received rewards from His Majesty the Emperor, and there was also a promise that the royal family had just established as the ancestral system, and that they would never blame doctors easily in the future.

Zhu Yuan understood that the root cause was the incident caused by him before.

When everyone said this, including Dai Sanchun, everyone stood up again and bowed to Zhu Yuan.Sun Shouzhen and others have already learned from Dai Sanchun that His Majesty's change was probably due to Zhu Yuan's suggestion.

As people in the game, they are more able to understand how much protection this promise is for doctors than Zhu Yuan.

After a leisurely chat over a cup of tea, everyone finally got to the point.

Today, His Majesty the Emperor specially sent Sun Shouzhen and his party over to discuss the matter of new medicine.

Zhu Yuan really didn't have time to think about it this time.

It can only be discussed and agreed with everyone.

First, I learned about the general situation of the Tai Hospital.

After being introduced by Sun Shouzhen and others, Zhu Yuan generally understands that the Imperial Hospital of the third rank is directly under the management of His Majesty the Emperor and mainly serves the royal family and officials. However, if there is a major medical event, such as a plague outbreak, the Imperial Hospital will also be responsible for rushing to the hospital. relief.In addition to the ongoing war, the Tai Hospital will also organize doctors to accompany the army, as Dai Sanchun did before.

Besides, the scale of the Tai Hospital, from top to bottom, according to later generations, has a staff of 107 people.Counting Zhu Yuan, the deputy envoy of the imperial hospital who just joined the nondescript hospital, there are exactly one hundred and eight people.

Zhu Yuan felt very auspicious after hearing this.

I can change my name again.

Hello everyone, my name is Zhu Wu, one hundred and eight generals of Tai Hospital, and I rank 72 as the first star of Disha!
correct.

Find another person named Chen and Yang, and change their names to 'Chen Da' and 'Yang Chun'.

Alive!
It all shows that the era is also a variety of literary prisons, saying that anyone who dares to risk the word "bald" will be beheaded by Lao Zhu.

Here's an interesting counter-evidence.

For example, a Jinshi of the Yuan Dynasty who was the same year as Liu Bowen completed a famous novel during the Hongwu period.In this novel, there are three robbers who appeared in the second chapter, one is called "Zhu Wu", the other is called "Chen Da", and the other is called "Yang Chun". The book seems to be afraid that the readers will not understand, and deliberately added the sentence "Zhu Wu" Is from Dingyuan.

Look, this is not a metaphor, nor is it a reflection, this is the ridicule put on the table by Da Lala.

The person who wrote this book is named Shi Naian, and the book is called "Water Margin".

You said that it’s okay to write a counter-report, but you even made fun of His Majesty the Emperor and the top two founding heroes of the Temple of Heroes as minions, looking for death!

Not to mention the Qing Dynasty, most of the other dynasties, the emperors couldn't bear it, right?

As a result, no heads rolled.

This novel written in the early years of Hongwu actually went all the way through the Ming Dynasty for 276 years. Not only was it not banned, but it became one of the four famous novels, and Pan Jinlian, the most prostitute in ancient and modern times, was born in it.

Ok……

Sister Pan: You can just go as far as you go, why do you have to run on my old lady? !
Feeling scolded by someone, Zhu Yuan quickly withdrew his thoughts.

Inside the hall.

After some discussions, everyone quickly decided on the first thing to set up a specialized medical school.

This is also what Zhu Yuan and Lao Zhu talked about.

Choosing women to study medicine must not be done at home.Now that women are selected, women should not be favored over men. Therefore, the establishment of a medical school is inevitable.

Speaking of which, the ancients should not be underestimated.

At the beginning of the new dynasty, many things are still unfolding. However, in the previous dynasty, institutions like the Imperial Hospital also trained medical talents, but the problem is that it has never been systematic, and most of them are small-scale mentors and apprentices. system.

The result of elite education is destined to limit the development of medicine.

Zhu Yuan felt that, in fact, that sentence still lacked direction.

Otherwise, how could there be the famous phrase "the sky does not give birth to Zhongni, and the ages are like a long night".

Li has been there for a long time, but it is not clear.

The greatest achievement of Confucius is to point out the direction of a "ritual".

Doctors can have a specialized college, which can not only cultivate professionals on a large scale, but also delve deeper into medical theory. This is something that no one has ever thought of before.

So, led by Zhu Yuan, everyone quickly reached an agreement.

Everyone understands that if this matter is accomplished, several people may be able to leave a mark in the annals of history.Probably thinking of this, the Tai Hospital made Sun Shouzhen's face a little flushed, and his already energetic eyes became brighter, as if a fairy had descended from the mortal world.

Leave a name in history!
Who doesn't want to?
Zhu Yuan didn't want to, Zhu Yuan just wanted to be quiet.

However, in the face of the constant inquiries from several old men and a staid middle-aged man around him, he could only deal with it patiently.

So soon there are various details.

Applying for a budget, selecting a location, recruiting students... and even everyone's positions have initially reached a tacit agreement.

Then there are teaching and research content.

At this point, there are finally some small disagreements that are not harmonious.

There are schools of Chinese medicine, even if it is the same subject among the thirteen subjects, the theories of each school are often different.

So, who should we judge?
The solution given by Zhu Yuan is also very simple, two words: clinical.

Since we want to develop medicine systematically, we can't make small fuss like we used to.Therefore, not only to train many professional doctors, but also to contact more and more patients in the future. Here we must start to set up medical records.

At that time, with the data in front of us, which theory of which school can cure patients better, of course which one will be used.

I can feel that I still have doubts, but this is obviously a fair solution.

So a tacit understanding was reached.

Afterwards, everyone began to discuss the new medical ideas given by Zhu Yuan.

When this topic started, not to mention Sun Shouzhen and others, even Dai Sanchun, who had already communicated with each other, fell into a certain feeling that Lao Zhu had had many times again.

Heavenly book?
Seeing this, when it came to the section on microorganisms, Zhu Yuan simply asked Zuo Qi to find his own craftsman to carve convex lenses with ice on the spot.

It was engraved here, Zhu Yuan had just sent Zuo Qi to get some water from the small lake in the garden, the kind with algae, and Zhao Xu came to report again that the general Secretary Shan Anren had arrived.

After Shan Anren finished the early court, he was ordered by Lao Zhu to come to discuss with Zhu Yuan about repairing the garden.

When the imperial physicians heard Shan Anren's intentions, they all had somewhat strange expressions.

Let one genuine third grade repair a garden for another genuine third grade...

This is not right.

But, this can only prove once again that His Majesty the Emperor really dotes on someone so much, this treatment...is no different from that of a prince.

After everyone exchanged greetings, Zhu Yuan learned that Shan Anren also brought [-] jade craftsmen, as well as two shipments of various crystals that had been emptied of various stocks in Jinling.

Why use 'ship'?
Because as guests, everyone came by boat from the southeast main entrance of the mansion in a well-behaved manner.

Except someone.

The craftsmen at home are not professional after all, since there are [-] top craftsmen who were specially used to carve jade for the royal family according to Shan Anren's introduction, of course they called them directly, and asked the servants to find more ice cubes.

Soon, the door to a brand new world opened in front of everyone.

With single-layer magnification, many fine algae in the lake can already be seen. Although the double-layer microscope failed several times due to ice sculptures, the simple telescope composed of a concave mirror and a convex mirror made everyone just stand in the yard. You can enjoy the winter scenery among the mountains around the back lake.

Amazing.

Zhu Yuan also drew some optical diagrams of concave-convex mirrors on the spot, explaining the general principle. For a while, everyone in the Taiyuan Hospital forgot about the medical school, and Jiang Zuosi forgot about the construction of the garden. Everyone was immersed in the wonderful physical world .
