Datang Imperial Physician

Chapter 285 "Buying a Basket and Returning the Pearl"
His Majesty Li Er looked at Wei Chi with a smile that was not a smile, and said slowly: "I should learn from you, Ziyue's skill in putting hats on others is comparable to that of Xiao Qing."

Wei Chi was sweating profusely, with a silly smile on his face, and said, "Your Majesty is wise, and you will never wrong or wrong your subjects."

His Majesty Li Er gave him a white look, and said: "When the medical school was established, Ziyue asked the person who will be the prison to build such a student dormitory and a student canteen. The food and lodging are all in the school. The school will solve it. The general subsidy of the Imperial College?"

Wei Zhi said with a bitter face: "Your Majesty, in addition to food, clothing, housing and transportation, the subsidy for supervising students of the Guozijian also includes the cost of books, pens, ink, paper and inkstone. Our medical school also has these requirements. Food, clothing, housing and transportation are the basics. Not a lot, and the cost of medical equipment and medicinal materials needed for practice, these are not small expenses. Calculated, it is only more than the subsidy needed by the Imperial College, but not less. The minister is diligent and frugal , hard and simple style of work, as long as it is the same as that of the Imperial College, it is not enough, I have to find a way on my own, and I can't blindly invest in running the school, but also have some output."

"What is output?" Fang Xuanling asked curiously.

Wei Zhidao: "So that Fang Xiang knows that in addition to teaching medical skills, our medical school also teaches auxiliary skills such as foot bath, medicated bath, massage, and research on pharmaceutical preparations. Those who do research and learning must be willing to invest in it. Students, professors, and doctors create the best environment, and strive to make everyone keep improving, and they can sit in the clinic after graduation. This requires a lot of practical experience to accumulate. Therefore, I have a plan here. Your Majesty, please take a look, and please take a room. Wait for a few adults to help take a look."

Wei Chi took out the plan that he had prepared a long time ago, presented one copy to His Majesty Li Er, and distributed the other three copies to Fang Xuanling and others.This was suggested by Xie Jiu. Since there are rotten scholars who are talking about their status, they should make their own income to solve the problem.Wei Zhi took it for granted, and the two wrote a plan together. This plan is not uncommon in modern times. It is a model of university plus scientific research. The university sells scientific research results to get funding for continued research.

His Majesty Li Er took over the plan, and just glanced at it, he let out a surprise, and said, "Ziyue, is this written by you? It's not a small improvement, no, no, it's not written, but printed. Go up, Wei Ziyue, you slippery, lazy man, you have to use a carving block to write a melody, what a waste, you should hit it!"

Wei Chi was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, you can see clearly, this is not printed by engraving, but printed by movable type in my printing workshop."

As mentioned by His Majesty Li Er, Fang Xuanling and others also found the difference when Wei Jia said so, instead of busy reading the plan, they began to study the characters of Shuzuo.In other words, there are papermaking workshops, printing workshops, and other things related to pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and the four treasures of the study. Many wealthy families have them, and they think this is an elegant thing.So Wei Chi didn't hide it, and blatantly talked about his workshop.

Wei Chi's proposals are all written in Wang Xizhi's regular script. They are printed in a uniform manner, with standard fonts and one stroke at a time, which fully demonstrates Wang's calligraphy style.This is the result of Yasao Bao.When carving movable type, the craftsmen were asked to carve according to Wang Xizhi's fonts. Nowadays, people all over the world follow His Majesty Li Er's preferences, and all admire Wang Xizhi. In that line, our Weifu also follows the trend, and the blocks printed with movable type are all Wang typefaces. , Obsessed enough!
His Majesty Li Er, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng, Kong Yingda, etc., gathered together to study Wei Chi's melodies. Of course, it was not the content, but the printed characters, which made Wei Chi quite entangled. Is it considered to buy the box and return the pearl?mold!Too bad!

Wei Jia felt that it was necessary to remind: "Your Majesty, my lords, is it not too late to study after reading my plan?"

His Majesty Li Er threw a fierce look over, and slapped Wei Jia on the shoulder, and the guy who slapped him gasped for breath with his tongue out.His Majesty Li Er ordered directly: "Let's talk about movable type printing first."

Wei Zhi resisted the urge to rub his shoulders, and said with a slightly uncomfortable smile: "Your Majesty, didn't you say that I can't see people's handwriting? Now that I have been promoted, if I don't make any progress, more than that. Your Majesty despises it, and I am ashamed to see others, but I am too lazy to practice calligraphy, so I took advantage of it and thought of such a method, hehe, don't laugh at me."

Then, he talked about the advantages and disadvantages of movable type printing.Wei Zhidao: "Movable type printing has its advantages. It is convenient and fast to print books full of characters. The blocks can be freely combined and used many times. In terms of saving materials, it has a little advantage. Movable type Printing also has disadvantages, that is, it cannot print pictures. Engraving printing can print pictures, forms and so on. The disadvantage of engraving is that it takes too long. Once a book is printed, you cannot engrave other things. This is the disadvantage of engraving. .My printing workshop has two methods. When printing, choose according to your needs. Uh... this sketch of my minister is printed with movable type. I am ashamed to be lazy."

Kong Yingda grabbed Wei Jia, a little excited, and said: "If it is true what Ziyue said, then when printing books in the future, they only need to rearrange them and they can be printed quickly?"

Wei Chi said: "That's right. The movable type blocks are all ready-made, and basically follow the method of explaining characters. My craftsmen have carved, fired, and tested for a long time, and now they are considered successful."

Wei Zhi had only heard of movable type printing, and did not know how to operate it. He just found skilled printing craftsmen, told them the concepts and ideas, and handed them over to experiment and produce. After two years, the experiment was successful and he invested Production.

Kong Yingda seemed to be a little out of his mind, and his face was full of longing and imagination, and he murmured: "From now on, countless "Analects of Confucius", countless "Shuowen Jiezi", countless..."

Following Kong Yingda's self-talk, the eyes of His Majesty Li Er and Fang Xuanling on the side also brightened. His Majesty Li Er looked at Wei Jia with piercing eyes, and saw that the servant's face was full of cold sweat.Even Xiao Yu, who had just quarreled with Wei Chi, calmed down and became excited along with everyone.

These days, printing a book is very time-consuming and labor-intensive. First of all, engraving takes a long time. Thinner books are fine, like longer history books. If you want to print, it will be a protracted battle.Wei Chi sometimes wonders whether the use of classical Chinese in ancient times was also the result of trying to reduce the number of words for the convenience of printing? !The mystery of history is unknown.

"Wei Chi!"

"The minister is here."

"I want to visit your printing workshop."

"Yes, it is an honor for the whole family to be here with His Majesty."

Just after His Majesty Li Er finished speaking, Kong Yingda, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji, etc. all expressed that they wanted to go and see with His Majesty Li Er, and Wei Jia hurriedly agreed.

After finishing speaking, several people were still studying Wei Jia's printed melody. Wei Jia struggled for a long time, and reminded weakly: "Your Majesty, my lords, what is your majesty's intention in my plan, everyone! Do you have any suggestions, do you..."

It was only then that everyone let out a sudden "Ah", suppressed their curiosity about movable type printing, and tried their best to concentrate on watching Wei Jia's melodies.After reading it, everyone had strange expressions.

Wei Chi's proposal is very simple. Merge the medical center in Weifu into the medical school and become an affiliated hospital of the medical school. Firstly, it can provide students with clinics to practice and accumulate experience, and secondly, it can also generate income for the medical school.The teachers and students of the Department of Pharmacy can also conduct research and develop in the direction of researching finished medicines. After researching finished products, they can be sold to finished medicine factories.In short, try your best to solve the problem of insufficient funds by yourself.

Just after reading it, Xiao Yu said: "Your Majesty, I object!"

Wei Chi rolled his eyes and said, "Master Xiao, if you object, then you are responsible for raising enough funds. As long as the funds are enough, I will take this plan back immediately and treat it as if I hadn't written it!"

Xiao Yu flicked his sleeves, and said coldly: "You...! A doctor trained by a philistine, what kind of virtue is there?"

Wei Chi wondered, why does this have something to do with virtue? !
Wei Chi said: "Master Xiao, the students' food, clothing, housing and transportation are covered by subsidies from the imperial court. Among teaching supplies, the imperial court can provide them, such as pens, ink, paper and inkstones, but what about medicinal materials and medical equipment? Are they also provided by the imperial court? How much money can the Ministry of Finance allocate to the medical school?"

Tang Jian calculated silently for a while, and said: "Nowadays, the world has been set for the first time, and a thousand wastes are waiting for prosperity. Although the national treasury has a surplus, there is not much that can only be allocated to the medical school. After calculation, it can meet the subsidies, equipment, and medicinal materials... If we can rely on It is a good thing that the medical school can solve it by itself, I think.”

Tang Jian was once shocked by Xie Jiu's knowledge of modern accounting and economics. His head is relatively flexible, unlike Xiao Yu's head, which is still in the stone age. It is so hard. If you ask him to turn around...there is still a long journey of revolution.

"Does Tang Qing's family agree with Ziyue's proposal?" His Majesty Li Er pondered.Tang Jian said: "Return to Your Majesty, and I agree. According to Ziyue's plan, after the medical school gradually develops, maybe in the future, not only will the Ministry of Accounts not transfer money, but also add money to the Ministry of Accounts."

Wei Jia stared at Tang Jian dumbfounded, feeling the urge to cut his head open to see, it's too insidious, it hasn't opened yet, even if it plans to increase revenue for the treasury in the future!It's really... the apprentices of the church starved to death of the master, if they had known, Xie Jiu would not have given them the so-called economics courses, depressed.

Tang Jian's words made everyone ponder for a while, but the old man Xiao Yu still expressed his objection as usual, saying: "How can a place of learning be related to money!"

Wei Chi said: "Master Xiao, this is a cyclical process, okay? The students have made good research results, improved their skills and knowledge, and can also generate income for the school and themselves. Once they have funds, they can invest in it. Improve the living and learning conditions of teachers and students, and continue to do better and more research. This is a virtuous circle. Good skills and knowledge, not pursuing interests, are good measures for the development of medicine and to reduce the burden on the country. The country's training of doctors is to create well-being for all people in the world, and it is His Majesty's wise decision. How can we give to His Majesty and the country? What about creating a burden? As long as it is not related to interests, how can it affect the morality of teachers and students? Could it be that Mr. Xiao has a better way to solve the problem of funding gap?"

Xiao Yu choked, and said sullenly: "I don't have any."

Wei Jia secretly made a V letter in his heart, smiling as usual, calmly, celebrating his little victory.After silently reading "Don't be happy with things, don't be sad with yourself" twice, he turned to His Majesty Li Er and the ministers who were contemplative, waiting for their words.

Fang Xuanling said: "Your Majesty, I think this method is good, just like Ziyue said, this is a virtuous circle and can be adopted."

Wei Zheng also said: "The minister seconded the proposal."

Kong Yingda said: "Your Majesty, if you are a scholar, if you can have an environment where you don't have to worry about food and clothing, all the conditions are perfect, and you can concentrate on it, the improvement of knowledge and skills is only a matter of time. I think it is feasible. Ziyue, your method , It would be great if the Guozijian can also implement it, when the time comes, the Guozijian will have enough funds, and the supervisors will definitely be able to concentrate more on their studies."

Hey, this old man Kong is really courageous. A place like Guozijian dares to adopt Wei Jia's suggestion. It's really... It's hard to be unadmired. Compared with Xiao Yu, look at the old man Kong, this man and man Why is it so far away from the realm of the world!

Wei Chi thought for a while and said: "The situation of Guozijian is different from that of our medical school. If we adopt this model, we need to adjust it. In addition, I don't know whether the professors, doctors, and supervisors of Guozijian are willing. It's hard to say. It's better to wait for our medical school. After the trial is feasible, let’s talk about it after the facts are presented.”

Kong Yingda nodded and said, "Ziyue is right."

After some discussion among the people, except for the old man Xiao Yu who has always expressed his firm opposition, His Majesty Li Er agreed with Wei Jia's opinion. Now that the medical school is doing a pilot project, if it is feasible, it will not cause any harm to the teachers and students of the medical school. After the bad influence, it will be formally established.

Wei Chi was very satisfied with the result, and immediately agreed.

The purpose of entering the palace today has basically been achieved, and the effect of movable type printing is also good, and the next step can be planned.Wei Jia showed a silent smile, thinking about how to celebrate with Xie Jiu when they got home. After the celebration, the two of them had to deliberate on the plan for the second step.

After the discussion, the old man Xiao Yu glared at Wei Chi angrily, knelt down with a "bang", and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is old and lacks energy, and his ideas are different from those of Master Wei. As a Confucian disciple, I don't want to Being in the company of people who smell like copper, and not wanting to be involved in philistine affairs, the old minister requests to resign from the post of medical minister, please allow your majesty!"

Hoarse, with tears streaming down his face, he fell to the ground begging for a monthly ticket! !Children's shoes, giants, do you want me to run naked?Does it have to be Xiao Sizi?monthly pass!I want Lennon!
