Chapter 443: Reform of the Ministry of Rites 2/2

As Su Yan said, when people were young, they thought about marrying a wife and having children when they grew up, but some people were selected by Wu to become Wu disciples, and under Wu teaching, the disciples gradually put down the matter of marrying wives and having children, and were ready to dedicate their lives to the tribe.

Taught from generation to generation, it is a tradition to become a witch without marrying a wife and having children.

In the past, when the tribes had not yet become dragon tribes, such traditions could be preserved.

Among the dragon tribes, the king has the highest status, followed by the patriarch of the clans, and the third is the witch of the clans.

Wu served in the Ministry of Rites, Wu was responsible for sacrificing to the gods, holding banquets, running the school, managing the Salesian Hospital, and treating the sick and saving people.

Witches are also human beings, it is normal for people to marry wives and have children, in the dragon tribe, witches marrying wives and having children have little impact on the duties of witches, and there is no need to leave that tradition.

After Su Yan's order was conveyed to the various cities, in addition to Wu and Wu's disciples, the parents and relatives of Wu's disciples who attached the most importance to this matter were the Wu's disciples.

Whether it is before joining the dragon tribe or after joining the dragon tribe, almost no parents are willing to let their sons become disciples of witches, especially after joining the dragon tribe, the dragon tribe attaches importance to family education, attaches importance to the reproduction of offspring, and often sees dozens of people in the dragon tribe having dinner together.

After the son becomes a disciple of Wu, he can't marry a wife and have children, the surname can't be inherited, and the bloodline can't be passed on, which is something that is difficult for parents to accept, but if the son is really chosen, the parents won't stop it, after all, it's a contribution to the tribe.

Now that the king had decreed that both the witch and the witch's successor could marry and have children, this order undoubtedly pleased the parents who had sons who had become witch disciples, and the parents began to get busy with their sons' future wives.

……

In the "Mansion" of the Ministry of Rites in Yuancheng, after the topic of Wu marrying a wife and having children, everyone did not leave, and Su Yan had the next thing to announce, which was very important to the Ministry of Rites, because Su Yan wanted to reform the Ministry of Rites.

The Ministry of Rites is the first of the nine divisions of the Dragon Tribe, and the ministers and sub-ministers are all held by Wu, and Wu's disciples also hold important positions in the Ministry of Rites.

Sacrificing to the gods, holding feasts, running schools, managing the Salesian Hospital, curing the sick and saving people are not only the duties of the witches, but also the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Rites, and over the years, the Ministry of Rites needs more and more heavy tasks, and the educational reform has been carried out after the establishment of the Ministry of Rites, and soon there will be medical reform.

Su Yan planned to carry out two reforms of the Ministry of Rites.

In the first reform, Su Yan planned to divide all the responsibilities of the Ministry of Rites into three categories, and establish three divisions within the Ministry of Rites, namely the Department of Rites, the Department of Education, and the Department of Medical and Health Affairs.

Ostensibly, the Department of Priesthood is responsible for sacrificing to the gods and holding banquets, the Department of Education is responsible for the Junior School, the Senior School and the Salesian Hospital, and the Department of Health is mainly responsible for treating the sick and saving people.

In fact, the first reform of the Ministry of Rites is to lay the vanguard for the second reform, and in the future, with the increase in the tasks of the Ministry of Rites, the Ministry of Rites will be divided into three, the Department of Rites and Diets will still belong to the Ministry of Rites, the Department of Education will become the Ministry of Education, and the Department of Medical and Health will become the Ministry of Medicine.

When the Department of Education became the Ministry of Education, and the Department of Medical and Health became the Ministry of Medicine, it was enough to show that the affairs of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Medicine were heavy, and they had to set up separate departments.

The number of newborns in the dragon tribe is increasing every year, and the number of people (young children) who return from foreign trade transactions every year is constantly expanding.

It has been three years since the education reform, and the education reform has divided the school into a junior school and a senior school, and the three colleges of the advanced school, the war college, the technical college, and the management college, are responsible for cultivating the three aspects of the clan.

Soon, the clansmen with four years of basic medical education will graduate from the senior school, and then they will be able to carry out medical reform.

In the various cities of the dragon tribe, to be exact, there are special medical centers in the ceremonial government offices of each city, and there are witches or witch disciples sitting in the town on weekdays, and the clansmen will come to the clinic to see a doctor when they are sick.

One thing I have to say is that the average population of each city of the Dragon Tribe is more than 5,000, and there are not many people who know how to heal, and even fewer people who are proficient in medicine.

Su Yan brought medical skills into the dragon tribe, and Wu and Wu's disciples were the first batch of learners, and then Wu and Wu's disciples taught other clansmen to learn, but this teaching method was very low, and it was not until there was a senior school after the education reform that more clansmen with a medical foundation could be cultivated.

In fact, people with four years of basic medical education will practice in the third and fourth years, and under the guidance of teachers, they will be able to treat diseases and save people independently, but the diseases that can be treated are some minor illnesses such as colds, fevers, and diarrhea, and serious diseases are not yet able to be solved by them.

Medicine is a very large category, and people can't learn all the medical knowledge in their lifetime, let alone a tribe of dragons who only study for four years.

To make a classification for doctors, if Su Yan's medical skills are at the advanced level, then Wu and Wu's disciples are at the intermediate level, and the clansmen who graduated from the advanced academy are those who have just entered the primary level, and the students who have not graduated are apprentices.

If you want to be promoted from the beginner level to the intermediate level, it is difficult to succeed without ten years of hard work, and if you are promoted from the intermediate level to the advanced level, you may not be able to succeed in the whole life of the clansmen who have graduated from the senior school.

All the medical skills of the Dragon Tribe were passed down by Su Yan, and if others wanted to learn all of Su Yan's medical skills, it would be difficult to do so unless they were geniuses in medicine.

However, these are not important for the time being, you can rely on time to learn slowly, even if a large number of clansmen with advanced medical level cannot be born in the future, it is still certain that a group of clansmen with intermediate medical level will appear.

When the clansmen with a primary medical level graduate from the senior academy and the medical reform officially begins, it is not actually a reform, that is, to increase the number of doctors, and the clansmen can quickly solve a minor ailment.

As the number of doctors increases, the size of the Department of Medical and Health will also become too large, and it will naturally become a medical department at that time.

Su Yan told the witches about the two future reform plans of the Ministry of Rites, and this time the witches did not ask many questions, listened carefully to the king's explanation, and prepared to carry out the reform plan of the Ministry of Rites according to the king's orders.

From the king's plan, Wu and Wu's disciples all heard about the great changes in the future, which was a good change, and there were more clansmen in all aspects, so they didn't need to be so busy every day.
