Chapter 1328 A school for cultivating doctors
Knowing the court's helplessness, Liu Chuanhai didn't know what to say.

Du Kangyong sighed, and asked again: "Where does Fang Shilang plan to start?"

"I'm new here, I don't understand anything, so I don't want to interfere. What are you doing? How are you doing? Let me take the old man to have a look, go for a walk, the old man needs to understand the situation of this disease in detail, and you can't be blind command."

Du Kangyong nodded, and took Fang Congzhe to the countryside the next day.

The location chosen this time is a township where schistosomiasis is more serious in Southern Zhili. There are [-] villages in a township, and more than half of the villagers in eight villages are infected with the disease. The situation is very miserable.

When Fang Congzhe came to one of the villages, what he saw was a large group of schistosomiasis patients with big bellies but thin limbs. There were men and women, old and young. As they walked, Fang Congzhe looked sad.

"Old man, how long have you been sick?"

Fang Congzhe held the hand of a sick old man.

The sick old man had a bitter face: "It's been three years, and it's been repeated over and over again, and it's not easy."

The president of the peasant association in the village on the side said: "Old Wang was lucky, he managed it. There are still some young men in the village who vomited blood and died within a few months of getting sick. The family members cried all their tears dry. There is no way to save it, and I can’t afford to call a doctor.”

Fang Congzhe asked again: "Why can't you call a doctor?"

"No money. Before the emperor gave us the land, we had no money, and food was a problem. How can we cure the disease? Now it's hard to eat a few mouthfuls of food, but it's enough to eat. Let the doctor see a doctor and eat. The medicine is too expensive, we can't afford it, only the masters of rich families can afford it."

Fang Congzhe blushed, remembering that he was a big family with tens of thousands of acres of land a few years ago...

"The people are so poor?"

Fang Congzhe looked at Du Kangyong.

Du Kangyong looked at Fang Congzhe with inexplicable eyes.

"There is no way, it has always been like this. These poor peasants only need to eat for a year or two. It is normal to have no money."

Both Du Kangyong and Liu Chuanhai knew Fang Congzhe's background. They were land reform officials, and they reached the pinnacle of life by stepping on the corpses of these rich families. The man in front of him is a genuine old man, but he has a keen sense of smell, so he surrendered his land early to avoid disaster. , I have to admire his foresight and sagacity.

Fang Congzhe didn't continue to ask.

Remembering those tenants in my family, no matter what happens, they will not be unable to eat, and the rent in the family is not high. I usually look down upon tenants who are sick, and I will ask my family to send some money. Those tenants also remember their own kindness. Why are other places...

Thinking about it this way, Fang Congzhe also figured it out, and he stopped thinking about it. If he thought about it any more, he would start to wonder if he was eating human flesh and drinking human blood before.

Fortunately, the land was handed over early...

Fang Congzhe was thankful for this again.

Going all the way to the paddy field in the village, Fang Congzhe watched many people scooping up nets made of long sticks from the water's edge and in the paddy fields, and then picked up some snails, and then put them on the ground to pick and choose. , Divide into two piles, throw one pile back, and put the other pile aside.

Then someone pushed it to make a cylindrical log, crushed all the snails, and then swept it into a pit and buried it.

"What is this doing?"

"Snailkiller."

Liu Chuanhai opened his mouth and said: "The imperial court said that the poisonous insects of the pot belly disease grow in the body of this kind of snail, and then infect the human body. As long as there is no such oncomelania, the poisonous insects cannot grow naturally, and they will not infect the patients.

The imperial court has drawn pictures of the snails that need to be exterminated and walked them to various places in the south of the Yangtze River, asking local governments to organize people to search for snails in waterways and paddy fields in infected areas, and then crush them to death immediately, and wipe out large numbers of snails so that the poisonous insects cannot grow. . "

Du Kangyong went on to say: "After visiting and investigating these days, we found that this kind of oncomelania was found in every place where there were patients, in waterways and paddy fields, so we are organizing manual mollusc eradication everywhere, and we will catch them when we find them. Come up and kill them, if you find them, fish them up and kill them."

"Doing this will kill the snails?"

Fang Congzhe was a little puzzled.

"Whether you can or not, you have to try it first. These snails are always a disaster if they are kept, and they will be destroyed when they are seen. Moreover, the court also said that the feces of infected patients should not be used for fertilization casually, and they should be kept separately. They have worms and eggs in their droppings."

Liu Chuanhai said so.

"Ouch……"

Fang Congzhe's face was full of Qi Qiran: "What to do, it's very tricky no matter how you look at it."

"This is just one aspect. Hundreds of thousands of patients always need to be treated. We are gathering famous doctors who can treat big belly disease to gather in the imperial court for discussion, and come up with a reliable prescription, and then diagnose and treat them one by one. It is always necessary to treat them manually. Otherwise, we can't do it while watching patients die."

Du Kang sighed: "No matter how difficult it is, always try."

"How long will it take to do that?"

Fang Congzhe looked at the village full of patients: "I'm afraid it will take a long time for this village?"

After saying this, Du Kangyong and Liu Chuanhai were helpless.

What human beings can't do, what human beings can't do.

They all understand, but all they see are patients, people are not plants, how can they be ruthless?

Seeing so many patients lingering and dying at any time, families on the verge of collapse, and the labor force, which is extremely important to Daqin, being harmed to such an extent by a bug, how can they treat it?
However, no matter how difficult it is, you have to do it, no matter how difficult it is, you have to start from scratch, and you can't stop doing things just because it is difficult.

Xiao Ruxun summoned famous doctors from all over the country to Beijing, and discussed with the imperial doctors of the imperial hospital about the construction of the national medical system.

Faced with the emperor's proposal that the imperial court should come forward to build a uniform-scale Huimin Pharmacy Bureau in all provinces across the country, arrange special personnel to plant medicinal materials in places suitable for planting medicinal materials across the country, and then proposed to invite famous doctors to take the lead in establishing a school for cultivating doctors. Come to teach and train qualified doctors.

Faced with all kinds of suggestions put forward by the emperor, even the imperial doctors of the imperial hospital were dumbfounded.

A... school for cultivating doctors?
Since ancient times, the inheritance of doctors has been passed down from father to son or from master to apprentice. It has never been said that a school that trains scholars is established to train doctors.

Although the status of doctors is not as low as that of businessmen, in the traditional sense, the status of doctors is not high.

The suggestion to establish a school for training doctors has made all doctors at a loss.

"I'm not joking. I deeply feel that there is a shortage of doctors in Daqin, and there is an urgent need to train more doctors to treat the people of Daqin. So I decided to invest a sum of money to establish a college for training doctors in Nanjing and Beijing. You can all be in Among them, educating students to learn medical skills and cultivating excellent doctors, what do you think?"

Xiao Ruxun looked at these famous doctors eagerly.
