In the imperial palace of the capital, in the study of Emperor Hongzhi, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but stretch his waist slightly after approving the recital.

Daming is thriving, and he, the emperor, is getting better and better, but he can clearly feel that his body is getting worse day by day, getting thinner and thinner, and his spirit is far less than before.

He's only in his thirties now, but he looks like an old man in his fifties.

"Xiao Jing, come here, I'll beat my waist~"

His waist was a little sore, and he thought about it and shouted to Xiao Jing.

"Okay, long live the lord~"

Xiao Jing also hurried over.

While beating Emperor Hongzhi's back and rubbing his waist, he couldn't help but sigh.

Emperor Hongzhi was raised by him, and he has been following Emperor Hongzhi for many years, and he has been serving Emperor Hongzhi since Emperor Hongzhi was still the crown prince.

The original boy, in the blink of an eye, aged so fast, he was even more haggard and vicissitudes than him, an old man, although it took a lot of energy to work on national affairs, but it was not so.

Emperor Hongzhi only has one woman, she is not greedy for women, and she is not good at wine and meat, but such an emperor is only in his thirties and has become like this, which really makes people sigh for a long time.

"Your Majesty, would you like to have some supper?"

While carefully beating Emperor Hongzhi on the back, Xiao Jing also asked with a smile.

"I don't have an appetite, I can't eat."

Emperor Hongzhi shook his head slightly.

"Long live Lord, your recent food intake is getting less and less, it's not okay to go on like this, the dragon body is important, and you have to eat some."

Xiao Jing said with some concern, he is in charge of all the affairs of the emperor, and he knows very well that Emperor Hongzhi has eaten very little recently, of course, Emperor Hongzhi has not had a good appetite all along.

"Okay, get some sweet potato porridge, I heard Liu Jin say that eating more coarse grains like sweet potatoes is good for the body."

Emperor Hongzhi was a little hungry, because he had a small amount of food, so he generally ate less and more often, eating a little each time, but eating more often.

"Hurry up and tell the imperial dining room to cook sweet potato porridge~"

When Xiao Jing heard this, he immediately happily commanded Xiao Huangmen, and when Xiao Huangmen heard this, he hurriedly went to inform the imperial dining room.

"What has Liu Jin been doing lately?"

"I gave him a holiday, and he really didn't go to school in the morning, and he was too lazy to get home."

Speaking of Liu Jin, Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but ask about Liu Jin.

This year, Liu Jin went to Nanyang to fight, and he went out for several months, and after coming back, Emperor Hongzhi also granted Liu Jin a two-month vacation.

If other officials have a few days of rest, how can they put down the power in their hands and have to return to their posts early, or they come to the early court and give work to Emperor Hongzhi or something.

It's good for him, he really has a two-month holiday for two months, not only did he not come early, but his household servant also put it down, and he didn't even come to the palace to say goodbye to himself, and he didn't come.

If it weren't for the last time the Governor of Ceylon Xianbao saw him once, Emperor Hongzhi would have thought that this kid was still in Nanyang.

"He was busy building a zoo with the prince some time ago, saying that he wanted to collect rare beasts from all over the world, and then open it to everyone, so that everyone could know all kinds of rare and exotic beasts around the world."

Xiao Jing thought about it and hurriedly replied.

He is the secretary of Emperor Hongzhi, and he is also in charge of Dongchang and Jinyiwei, which is the eyes and ears of Emperor Hongzhi, and an important civil and military official in the court, he also needs to pay close attention to their movements.

The emperor's secretary is not so easy to be, there are many things that need to be done, and there must be enough care and patience.

"Zoo?"

"It's all nonsense, this collection of rare beasts in the world, I don't know how much silver it will cost, and there is something good at the top, and it will be worse at the bottom, so I mess around with the prince."

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately said angrily.

The prince is still too playful, Liu Jin is the minister of the court, he should know this, and he should guide the prince to the good side, but he is mixed with the prince.

"Your Majesty, Liu Jin will never do a loss-making business~"

"He said that after the zoo is completed, it will be open to ordinary people, and when the time comes, even if you collect tickets, you will be able to get back the money invested, and you will also be able to see and open your eyes to rare and exotic animals from all over the world."

Xiao Jing said with a smile.

"This is also true, Liu Jin, this kid, is a stone, he can turn it into gold."

"Forget it, let them be."

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he nodded after thinking about it, and Liu Jin seemed to have really not done any loss-making business.

"Liu Jin recently convened the world's famous doctors, saying that he wanted to build a Daming medical school, to inherit the existing medical skills, and at the same time to create new medical skills, but also to learn the medical skills of other countries in the world, so as to improve the medical skills of the Ming Dynasty."

Then Xiao Jing reported again.

"Gather the world's famous doctors and establish the Daming Medical College?"

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he immediately smiled and said: "This kid is really different from ordinary people, others are rich, powerful, or proud, or indulgent in lust and so on. ”

"He's good, he likes to build all kinds of colleges, military academies, maritime academies, shipbuilding academies, and now he wants to build a medical school, which is really different."

"It's good to build a medical school, if it is really done well, it will also benefit the people of the world."

"But no, Liu Jin said, our Ming Dynasty's medical skills should be a collection of the world's medical skills, take its essence to its dross, and integrate it, so as to be able to surpass ourselves and continue to innovate."

"For this medical school, Liu Jinke is very generous, and directly carved out thousands of acres of land in the southern suburbs of the capital, and invested one million taels of silver in the early stage."

Xiao Jing nodded and said, he knew Liu Jin's every move well, and even knew clearly the conversation between Liu Jin and several famous doctors.

"What a big stroke~"

Emperor Hongzhi couldn't help but marvel when he heard it, Liu Jin was rich, he knew it, but he didn't expect Liu Jin to be so generous in building a medical school, thousands of acres of land in the capital, millions of taels of silver were smashed down, and he didn't frown at all.

"Your Majesty, Liu Jin has always been very willing in this regard, and the Maritime Academy and the Shipbuilding College have also invested a lot, and they have always been operating at a loss, and they have all relied on Liu Jin's support."

"He also said that not only should we build a medical school, but also a school of chemistry, physics, engineering, astronomy, and art."

"It's going to be a school of all sorts near the medical school."

Xiao Jing also nodded and continued to report.

"The son of a master is really not something that ordinary people can imagine."

After hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi also shook his head slightly, he really couldn't figure out why Liu Jin wanted to build these various colleges, in fact, counting the affiliated research institutes of various industries under his command, Liu Jin has now built many various colleges.

There are smelting colleges, mechanical colleges and weapons research institutes under the Miyun Iron Works, which specialize in smelting steel and research and manufacturing all kinds of high-quality weapons.

Although the Beijing Machinery Factory is hung with the name of the factory, it is more of a place specializing in all kinds of machinery, steam engines, steam engine harvesters, and cultivators are all researched here.

The shipyard also has its own shipbuilding research school, which specializes in the manufacture of ships, and I heard that it is currently researching the use of steam engines in ships to build steam ships.

Emperor Hongzhi knew all these very well, and if he thought about it carefully, Liu Jin really liked to run a school.

"Your Majesty, this newly built medical school, which has a system, which Liu Jin calls the Department of Surgery, is mainly used to study the treatment of diseases through surgery."

Liu Jin said that if you want to do surgery, you must have enough research on the human body, so he plans to secretly set up a laboratory for dissecting the human body on a small island on this side of the South Seas, specifically to study the structure of the human body and accumulate the foundation for surgery.

After thinking about it, Xiao Jing also said that there is a place on the side of Liu Jin Medical College that makes people feel extremely taboo.

"Dissecting the human body?"

When Emperor Hongzhi heard this, he also frowned slightly.

"Yes, what Liu Jin means is that there are many slaves here in Nanyang, and these slaves can be used for experiments."

"This proposal was opposed by several famous doctors at first, but Liu Jin said that medicine should break the shackles of thought, and only when you have a clear understanding of yourself can you really improve your medical skills."

He said that on the battlefield, many soldiers died of excessive blood loss, and if we can study the blood of the human body clearly, and stop the bleeding and transfuse the blood of the soldiers who have lost blood in time, we may be able to cure it."

"It's all based on knowing enough about the human body."

Xiao Jing nodded, and then began to report the news.

"Well, in that case, let him toss."

"What Liu Jin said is also reasonable, only by knowing each other and knowing oneself can one not be defeated in a hundred battles."

"This kind of research may be harmful and unreasonable, but it is also to improve medical skills and treat more people."

Emperor Hongzhi thought about it and nodded in approval, this Liu Jin has not disappointed Emperor Hongzhi in everything he has done so far, he believes in Liu Jin.

More importantly, Liu Jin's establishment of the medical school is also to improve the medical skills of the Ming Dynasty, in order to cultivate more medical talents, and benefit the Ming Dynasty, which is a good thing.

He had no reason to object, even though the medical school would use slaves for experiments, dissect human bodies, and so on, which was very taboo in traditional thinking.

But it doesn't matter.

"Yes, Liu Jinjian Medical College is also for Daming, this research on surgery is also to save people, the starting point is good, and maybe in the future, I can really study something, which can improve my Daming's medical skills and save more people."

Xiao Jing also nodded, he could be regarded as saying a lot of good things for Liu Jin.
