Johime Three Kingdoms

Chapter 198 Medical School

The "Peacock Flying Southeast" incident came to an end with the "surrender" of Gao Ming, Qin Gu and others. Although their specific punishments have yet to be heard by the Ministry of Punishment, it has no impact on the overall situation.

The final result is undoubtedly Bai Tu's victory...

Not only did Lujiang County welcome the New Deal, but Bai Tu was still "arrogant" in the face of feudal etiquette. At the same time, Kong Rong's theory of "benevolent people love others" also spread among the people.

Wang Lang's son, Wang Su, has also begun to make his mark. He can be regarded as a master of the new generation of Confucian classics...

After this incident, Jiao Qing was promoted to the new chief secretary of the Lujiang Prefecture. In view of the fact that Lu Kang, the Lujiang Prefect, had not actually taken office, Jiao Qing's power was considerable.

Of course, Jiao Qing was just a petty official before. Even if he was a bit smart, he might not be able to adapt to this position all of a sudden.

But it doesn't matter, Zhou Yu hasn't left yet. During this period, not only can Jiao Qing ask him for advice, but for the time being, Zhou Yu will be in charge of Lujiang's military affairs.

Those people from the Gao family and the Jiao family, Bai Tu didn't say anything to the Ministry of Punishment, they just handled the case according to the law...

Even if they treated the Xu family like this before, the crimes of these people are far less serious than Xu Gong.

Although many people believed that the punishment given to Xu was too light, and even Xu Gong's widow and young son were not implicated except for the eldest son who was actually involved... But Bai Tu did not regret this decision.

When Bai Tu was assassinated not long ago and was chased to the bank of the Pi River by gangsters, he was assisted by a few unfriendly archers to retreat to the opposite bank.

As for the identities of those people, Bai Tu still doesn't know. Obviously the other party has no intention of defecting, but... Bai Tu has already made some guesses.

Because on those arrows that "drove" him across the river, Catching Wind Guard found clues - arrows in the shape of an official, specially loaded for the armored bow.

Those sharpshooters not only had excellent archery skills, but were also very elusive when shooting arrows. They seemed to be good at assassination, so they did not use pure laser arrows.

This type of Han army standard arrow has not been used in Jiangdong for a long time. The chariot and cavalry generals all use new technology, and these are old models before the Yellow Turban Rebellion and are rare.

But not long ago, a large number of these bows and arrows were discovered in Jiangdong - in the Xu family's warehouse, so they were charged with hiding weapons secretly!

Therefore, Bai Tu suspected that those people were Xu Gong's disciples.

This can also explain why they discovered the whereabouts of Yuan's assassin in advance - it was probably the latter who took the initiative to contact them for cooperation!

However, due to various reasons, Xu Gong's retainers not only failed to cooperate with them, but even helped Bai Tu.

Of course, the other party obviously didn't like Bai Tu either, so he gave Bai Tu a "tangled" feeling before.

On the one hand, he risked his life to help Bai Tu, but on the other hand... not only did he have no intention of defecting, he even showed no respect for Bai Tu.

After finding this, Bai Tu also asked the Fengchao Guard to stop. After someone "helped others", he insisted on not leaving his name, so there was no need for Bai Tu to chase after him...

By this time, Bai Tu had returned to Shouchun. Malaria was now completely under control. No new patients had been found for more than ten days in a row, and all other patients had recovered... or died.

The malaria that swept through half of Jiujiang County ultimately killed only dozens of people, and most of them were before the emergence of artemisia annua. This was undoubtedly a miracle in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Bai Tu was personally lobbying Zhang Zhongjing at this time...

Originally, after the malaria was under control, Zhang Zhongjing was ready to leave and continue to travel around the world and help the world. However, Bai Tu kindly invited Zhang Zhongjing to stay in the Cheqi General's Mansion... To be precise, he founded the medical school in the Cheqi General's Mansion. hospital.

"Medical College? Is it an official office under the General's Mansion? Well... thank you Mr. Bai for his kindness, but I am still better at treating people." Zhang Zhongjing thought that Bai Tu wanted him to be the head doctor.

For ordinary doctors, being able to serve as an official is naturally more promising than practicing medicine and treating diseases, but... Zhang Zhongjing is a real doctor who doesn't even care about his official position as a prefect, and just quits his official position to practice medicine!
"It's not a government office, but I want to open a school to train doctors," Bai Tu said.

"School? How many people are there? If Mr. Bai has any good talents, he can introduce them to me and travel with me. After a few years, he will come back to serve after he has completed his studies... This is different from reading and writing. If it is like a private school, There are often more than a dozen or dozens of people, and I am afraid that I am not able to handle them." Zhang Zhongjing said.

This is why Mr. Zhang had a very good impression of Baitu. Otherwise, how could ordinary princes receive such treatment?

But Mr. Zhang was wrong. He thought that Bai Tu just wanted to find a private doctor, and he knew that Zhang Zhongjing would definitely not stay, so he did it curtly.

"No, Mr. Zhang misunderstood me... It's not a dozen or dozens of people. I hope that in the future, the medical school will have hundreds, thousands, or even thousands of doctors!" Bai Tu said.

Zhang Zhongjing was stunned when he heard this. Before he could say anything, Bai Tu added: "From the people's livelihood information I checked in various cities and towns, during the prosperous period of the Han Dynasty, the average life span of the people was 45 to 50 years old. age……"

The average life span of the Han Dynasty was actually the highest in the "broad" ancient category, even surpassing that of the Ming Dynasty and ranking first among "ancient times".

The main reason is that the material is rich, the nutrition is up to date, and the medical field has developed greatly. Especially in the dynasties of the Western Han Dynasty, ordinary people can eat meat every now and then. The per capita nutritional level is high, which is unmatched by other feudal dynasties.

Regardless of average life expectancy or average height, the Han Dynasty can be said to be thriving, so there was a saying in the Western Han Dynasty that "one Han should be five Hus"-the Hans at that time were much stronger than the Hus, and they were all from IQ to physique to equipment. Directional crushing...

It was followed by the Ming Dynasty, and then by the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

It is probably because the Tang Dynasty's heyday was too short, and...the rapid increase in population also limited the increase in life expectancy in terms of nutrition. After the Ming Dynasty, a large number of high-yielding crops flowed in, which increased the average life expectancy again.

"However, it has been less than 40 years since the Yellow Turban Rebellion... In addition to the displacement of people due to the turmoil and the lack of food due to famine, the decline in medical standards and the decrease in doctors are also important factors." Bai Tu said with emotion.

If you don’t have enough to eat, it will naturally be more difficult to seek medical treatment.

"Mr. Bai has such a loving heart and is worthy of the title of 'Benevolent Man'. Zhang is naturally willing to do his part! But... Mr. Bai may have thought of this matter simply. With my ability, it will take seven or eight years to bring him out." Second and third apprentices, hundreds, thousands, thousands... I'm afraid the manpower will be limited." Zhang Zhongjing said regretfully.

"No, it is precisely because of this that I want to set up a medical school, select suitable people from the county school as students, and then use other doctors as teachers to teach at every level... Mr. Zhang does not need to do everything personally, as long as Just teach other teachers, compile good teaching materials, and then be responsible for teaching the future doctors of the medical school." Bai Tu blushed slightly.

This is already a job for several people!
Sure enough, Zhang Zhongjing's face hesitated after hearing Bai Tu's words. However, Mr. Zhang's worry was obviously different from Bai Tu's. It was not that the burden was too heavy, but...

"If this is the case, how to ensure that students succeed in their studies? Medical skills are different from other skills. If you are not good at learning skills, it is better not to learn them at all." Zhang Zhongjing said.

As a famous doctor at that time, what Mr. Zhang hated most was people without medical ethics, followed by quack doctors who misled people.

"On this point, I have some different opinions... It is rare to meet a person with profound medical knowledge and comprehensive knowledge like Mr. Zhang in a hundred years. In this case, why not classify diseases, trauma, cardiopulmonary damage, poisoning, octogenarian disease... …Wait a minute and don’t teach it to different people?” Bai Tu asked in return.

"If that's the case, wouldn't it be bad to meet a patient I don't understand?" Zhang Zhongjing worried.

"In fact, after the medical students complete their studies, I plan to set up county hospitals in each county with dozens of doctors, each specializing in their own specialty, and there will be some mobile doctors in the villages who can visit, as long as they know the most basic and can treat more Minor headaches and brain fever will be cured, and those with serious illness can go to county hospitals or even larger county hospitals," Bai Tu said.

In contrast, today's medical clinics, even if they have more than one doctor, usually only have two or three apprentices and descendants, and after the apprentices complete their studies, they usually set up their own business.

After all... the desire to monopolize knowledge does not only exist in the narrow sense of "learning", why is it not the case for doctors?

However, Zhang Zhongjing has no worries in this regard. If there is a suitable candidate, he would like to learn as many people as possible, but before... Zhang Zhongjing was influenced by "common sense" and believed that a doctor must be "all-powerful". Therefore, no suitable candidate has been found.

"In this case, will medical students also want to be officials?" Zhang Zhongjing still had concerns.

"A hospital is not an ordinary government office. Its doctors are supported by the government, but they generally do not need to be granted official positions, and they do not need to care about government affairs other than medical treatment." Bai Tu knew what Mr. Zhang was worried about.

The idea that excellence in learning leads to officialdom has been popular for hundreds of years along with the Confucian philosophy of governing the country by scholars, and has become deeply ingrained.

But in Zhang Zhongjing's opinion, it would be too wasteful to spend so much effort training a doctor if he wanted to become an official.

Bai Tu also told Zhang Zhongjing later about the concept of a field doctor system - a certain proportion of medical soldiers should be equipped in the army. At the same time, in large-scale battles, temporary field hospitals can be set up to treat friendly troops first... When resources permit, You can also treat captured enemy soldiers!
In the short term, all this is money wasted, but Bai Tu does not think this is pure "charity."

How much benefit can a 40-year-old farmer live for ten more years?

How much combat effectiveness can a 30-year-old veteran serve for five more years?
"It's difficult." Zhang Zhongjing finally said.

"It's indeed difficult." Bai Tu nodded.

Bai Tu no longer worried about the success of persuading Zhang Zhongjing, because... when Zhang Zhongjing said "it's difficult", his expression was firm.

Sure enough, Zhang Zhongjing was heard to say: "If the general does not change his mind, I am willing to forge ahead with the general."

Seeing that Zhang Zhongjing had been persuaded, Bai Tu couldn't help but feel happy. He did have a lot of medical thesis materials here, but... Bai Tu himself couldn't understand it, and Pang Tong was not suitable to add more burdens.

Zhang Zhongjing is willing to join, and the medical school that has been in preparation for a long time can finally get on the right track.

Moreover, Zhang Zhongjing not only represents himself, he has also made it clear to Bai Tu that he will try to recall several of his early students, as well as some old friends who he considers to be famous doctors, to participate in the grand event!
