Chapter 12: The Edge Has Already Appeared (1)
Ten up.
Last night, Wang Hou said that the Liao people had sent a fine spymaster to spy on the weapons supervisor, trying to get the details of those big generals' cannons, and the people he brought were stepping up the search
Today, I received an official letter from the Imperial City Division, saying that ten fine works had been arrested.
This amount was beyond Han Gang's expectations.
However, the work of this spy is like the relationship between melons and melon vines, as long as you catch one of the melons, you can pull the vines and pick out the other melons one by one.
Han Gang was not afraid of what Liao's meticulous work could probe, the gap between the two countries in industry, as well as the quality of the spies themselves, doomed them to see the truly valuable place. Even in the court, not many people understand the importance of the industrial system.
Just like sulfuric acid, which is used as a torture tool, one of the three acids and two alkalis that is the symbol of the chemical industry, but in the eyes of everyone in the Imperial City Division, it is just a thing that can be used to scare people.
When Wang Houfang came over to tell Han Gang as a joke, he didn't realize the meaning of sulfuric acid at all.
The idea of using chemicals as torture instruments was quite new, but if they could see with their own eyes what it was like to fall into a pool of sulfuric acid, they would probably not dare to do so.
Of course, the sulfuric acid pond that can submerge people is still too far away, and the sulfuric acid has not yet been able to be continuously produced on a large scale. But the principle of preparation is very consistent with the knowledge that Han Gang learned when he was a teenager.
Through experiments, people have learned that burning sulfur or calcining pyrite will produce sulfur-containing smoke, and the effect of using refined sulfuric acid to absorb sulfur-containing smoke is better than water, and more sulfuric acid can be made from this.
With sulfuric acid, the preparation of hydrochloric acid and nitric acid is no longer a dream, and even soda ash and caustic soda are also possible.
The chemical industry has finally taken shape.
But how many can see this? And how many people value this?
Even if they let the Liao State spies go around the armament prison and the iron field, they either turned a blind eye to the sulfuric acid, or after seeing it, they stayed away.
There are quite a few officials from the DPRK and China who have been to the ordnance prison and the iron yard, but all of them are only concerned with the production of steel and artillery, and do not care at all about the organization and various by-products.
Han Gang didn't think that he could be much stronger than the heroes of this era, the only thing he could be confident of was his vision. For nearly a thousand years, a high platform built by hundreds of millions of people, standing on it, could see farther than anyone at this time.
The Imperial Castle Division continued to work hard, trying to pry more out of the mouth of the hosaku he had already caught.
After Han Jiang learned the inside story, he clearly instructed that he would wipe out all the traitors arranged by Liao in the capital, and for sulfuric acid, he would smack his lips as an anecdote.
And Han Gang continued to deal with political affairs after Wang Hou left.
In the Kyo Baisi and Jian Sizhou counties, the number of official letters submitted every day is a huge number.
The three governors in the Eastern Mansion cooperate in the division of labor, negotiate major matters, and take care of small matters. The personnel is mainly Han Jiang who is in charge, and Zhang Qi and Han Gang also occupy a piece. As for government affairs, Han Jiang let go more, and Zhang Qi and Han Gang divided it. Occasionally, there will be some arguments about the parts that are not clearly demarcated.
One of them that no one competes with Han Gang is the Department of Health and Welfare and the Tai Medical Bureau system. No one will compete with Han Gang for the yamen, which is already in the top ten in terms of importance in the court.
However, when Han Gang looked through the recitals and submissions handed over by the Department of Health and Welfare, he still hoped that someone could share a little for himself, or that the master and slave officials in the Department of Health and Welfare could pay more attention to it and not send it in every detail.
Just like today, another person claimed to have invented a typhoid vaccine and came to Beijing to present it to the imperial court. The Department of Health and Welfare did not dare to slack off, and immediately heard about it.
Han Gang just smiled at this and put pen to paper.
Over the years, there have been many claims to have invented new vaccines for different diseases, but all of them have been proven to be misstatements or even hoaxes.
Now, whenever someone offers a vaccine, he has to try it himself, and if he doesn't get sick after being infected, then he will conduct animal experiments.
So far, only smallpox has been confirmed to be immune to pox.
Some cases of death after pox, after exclusion, more than 90% are due to other diseases or even accidents. The remaining cases that were confirmed to have died of smallpox were largely preceded by the pox.
As time passed, it has been two years since there has been a smallpox outbreak with a double-digit death toll in the country's central towns. In rural areas, the number of reported outbreaks is also decreasing.
Among all the yamen, the reputation of the Baochi Bureau can be said to be the best among the people. And the officials and doctors in the bureau are far more popular at the local level than the state and county officials. The status of the Department of Health and Welfare is obtained by relying on the Pox Plantation for the World Corporal by the Bureau of Protecting the Red Army, and at the same time, in terms of operation, there is also an income of 10,000 or 20,000 yuan a year, and there is no need for court subsidies.
In a short period of time, it is difficult to have a second vaccine with the same effect as vaccinia, and what the Department of Health and Welfare needs to do is to deepen the work of the Red Protection Bureau and persevere.
Han Gang is sure that in another ten years, smallpox can be eradicated in all major towns and cities in the world, at least so that the disease will only appear in individual cases, and will no longer become an epidemic that ravages one side.
However, there is another matter, Han Gang can't approve it with a big stroke of the pen, and it is not even convenient for one person to make a decision.
This was a decision to set up medicine with the Ether Medical Bureau as the main body, and at the same time the Department of Health and Welfare to assist and contribute to the establishment of medicine.
Following the example of Guozijian and Wuxue, medicine was set up, medical talents were trained, and examinations were arranged after the last day to formalize the training of physicians.
This is Han Gang's idea.
The medical skills inherited from master and apprentice have always been the mainstream of the world. There is also a kind of scholar who changes jobs or works part-time, Fan Zhongyan said, 'If you are not a good person, you will be a good doctor', many scholars have read a few medical books, and pondered medical theory for a while, and then collected a few more prescriptions, and they dare to treat people.
This kind of training method can indeed be famous doctors, but more quacks, can never be compared with formal education, after the right track, there will be a group of qualified medical personnel every year.
Especially in the field of foreign science and technology, relying on the old-style inheritance of master and apprentice, it is difficult for the technique to keep it from regressing. Think about it, three or four people are surrounding a corpse in a small room, not to mention what can be studied, how many neighbors around it will not be the first to report?
With the acquiescence of the state, semi-openly conducting large-scale research and comparison is the best way to promote the development of medical technology.
Originally, there were training doctors in the Taiyi Bureau, but at this time, it would not be difficult to become independent and set up medicine, relying on the previous foundation, and if it could be preliminarily decided before the year, it would be possible to start working on doctors in the middle of next year.
The meaning of a doctor is different from that of later generations, but is the same as that of a tribute and a prisoner. genuine
Nowadays, the title of medical personnel is officially medical workers, medical officials, and there are also common names such as Langzhong. Han Gang also plans to formalize and divide the upper and lower hierarchies - this is what he can do now, and first make a useful framework for the system.
The title of medical worker was abolished, and in the future there were only doctors and physicians.
If you want to become a doctor, you have to pass an exam or get a recommendation before you can study medicine. After studying and passing the exam, you can become a full-fledged physician.
But doctors are just the beginning, and there's still a longer way to go.
"Resident Physician, Attending Physician, Chief Physician...... It's simple and straightforward. ”
Han Jiang took Han Gang's plan and read it carefully with interest.
Han Gang explained to Han Jiang in detail: "The so-called resident physicians are those doctors who have passed the examination but cannot stand alone, they still need to train in the hospital for a few years, and then they can be promoted to attending physician after passing the next level of assessment. ”
"Do you want to take the test again?"
Han Jiang was stunned, looking at the level that Han Gang was grading, if he wanted to become the chief physician, the number of exams he had to take was about to catch up with the Jinshi department.
"It's always easier than the tribute, and the qualifications of the tribute students are only once. Here became a doctor, and if you don't make a big mistake, you won't take his fame. ”
"There will be more and more people like that, right?"
Han Jiang keenly grasped the key to it, nominally imitating Jinshike, but this title has always been able to be won, wouldn't it be that more and more people will be able to take the exam.
"If the resident physician is unable to be promoted to the attending physician for a long time, he can also choose to leave the hospital and go to the hanging pot to help the world by himself. As long as the clinic is qualified as a doctor, it can be opened. The promotion exam is not mandatory, and there must be many people who are self-aware. Not once"
"In the hospital, you can take the court's money!" Han Jiang reminded.
"The highest level of medicine can become a Hanlin medical officer, and serving in a hospital can be regarded as taking the court's money. But it's not that if you take the court's money, you can be regarded as an official. The soldiers outside, how much material can they get in a year? ”
"It's equivalent to a pawn, I'm afraid many people don't want to."
"At least there is hope. Aren't all the people used in the special performance list all literature and teaching assistants, and how many of them can enter the stream and get grades? ”
Han Jiang thought about it, then shook his head and laughed, Han Gang's words were a bit far-fetched, but in the end, he still had to look at the result.
"Han Gang plans to set up a medical institution, mainly to provide talents for the hospital. The two hospitals in the east and west of the city have cultivated a large number of talents. But within a decade, hospitals will only be widespread in all states at best, with one hospital in the state capital. The big city of Beijing can have two, three, or even more, and there will only be a shortage of people, and there will be no suspicion of too many people. ”
"Can the imperial court afford it?" Han Jiang asked.
"It's self-financing."
If a healthcare system can't make money on its own, it can't grow.
In this era, apart from the army and bureaucracy that maintain the rule, a large piece of the revenue can be shared, the rest of the expenses are spent on ceremonies. As for medical care, it has always been profitable.
Large-scale medical benefits that can only be achieved by future generations. And between efficiency, results, and expenses, future generations will not be able to get a perfect balance.
Han Gang doesn't have the ability to surpass this era, he can only pave a way to make the era move faster.
"The two hospitals in the east and west of the city have never lost money. Although the consultation fee is cheap, the income is enough to support the operation of two hospitals. Han Gang added.
"Hmm." Han Jiang nodded, it must be a good thing not to let the court spend more money.
"And what about the medical workers who are already hanging pots?" Zhang Qi walked in at some point, and it seemed that he had been listening for a long time, "They may not even be able to get a doctor." ”
Seeing that it was Zhang Qi, Han Gang got up first and gave way to him, and when he also sat down, he said: "Even if you can be admitted to medicine, you can't accommodate so many people." ”
"At present, medical workers who are practicing medicine can get a chance to take an exam, and if they pass the exam, they can get the qualification of the same doctor. Han Gang will not embarrass people in this regard, he is familiar with medical books, understands medical theory, and knows a little first aid prescription, even if he has passed the test. ”
"Same? ……”
"It can only be the same." Han Gang said.
You can't let a wild fox Zen and medically trained talents diagnose patients together.
Han Jiang was noncommittal, continued to flip through Han Gang's plan and drawing book, read a few lines, and then asked, "The medical officer has to join the army?" ”
"A medical officer must not only be talented, but also meritorious, otherwise how can he be an official? If you want to become a medical officer, you must have the qualification of a chief physician, but chief physicians are not necessarily medical officers. You must accumulate time in the army and undergo a period of grinding before you can be drafted as. If you want to be a chief physician, you must have at least ten years of medical experience, in fact, during this time, you can start working as a military doctor. ”
"How's the current medical officer?"
Zai Fu has the power to recommend doctors, and being the prime minister can not only make up for his children, grandchildren, and relatives; Doormen, servants, and private physicians can also be stained. Han Jiang is not exempt from vulgarity, and in the past two years, he has also recommended a few.
"Take the exam, there's no other way. Since you can become an imperial doctor, you must be able to pass such an exam. ”
Han Jiang didn't ask any more, and Han Gang didn't continue to talk nonsense, and it was only right to see the result in the end.
In the morning, after the discussion in the Chongzheng Palace, he handled the official business for a morning, and in the afternoon, Han Gang was recruited into the small hall of the inner east gate.
Before he could get closer, Han Gang saw his father-in-law striding up to him.
"Yukun, you want to enter the palace today?"
"The Queen Mother has a trick."
"Is it a medical thing?"
Han Gang lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes: "I don't know, but this matter will be revealed to the Empress Dowager in the near future." ”
Wang Anshi heard this, but he was noncommittal.
Han Gang was surprised, when did his father-in-law become so good-tempered?
Han Gang is pressing step by step, at the moment it is only in the medical world, and the highest grade of the trick officer will not exceed the sixth grade. However, the news that Han Gang was planning to set up the Ming Arithmetic Department and the Ming Engineering Department in addition to the Ming Law Department had been spreading in the court for a long time. And there are rumors that he is also preparing some moves on the martial arts side.
Han Gang plans to provide more channels for scholars to enter the Shi, so as to strengthen the influence of Qi Science step by step, and when Wang Anshi Zhishi, who else can stop him from reaching out to Jinshike?
Wang Anshi has been inactive in the court for a long time, and as time passes, his central position in the political hall will also decline. Although Han Gang was relieved about this, he couldn't help but worry about whether it was a disguise.
But at this time, Han Gang didn't care. Bidding farewell to Wang Anshi, Han Gang walked into the small hall of the inner east gate after his name.
The Queen Mother was in the palace, and when she saw Han Gang, she put down her pen and said, "Participate in politics." ”
"The minister is here."
The Queen Mother asked directly: "What's going on with that Imperial City Division?" How to start capturing the Liao State was detailed. ”
"The Imperial City Division was ordered to guard the military weapons supervisor, and the Liao people were taken by heavy artillery, and in recent days, there have been endless secret spies, and the Imperial City Division is also following the holy will. Lai Majesty was blessed, and now ten people have been reported to be arrested, and after interrogation, all of them have confessed. ”
"Can you bend into a trick? The prince of Fanyang County said that there was one who had a lot of dealings with him, and he would not be a thief. ”
Those 'Hebei' businessmen really have a relationship. But Han Gang was unhurried, "It stands to reason that the trial should be lenient in suspicion, and even inappropriate questioning." Some of these ten people may have been mistakenly arrested and beaten into tricks, but the envoy of the Liao State is ...... in Beijing."
Han Gang wanted to speak and stopped, and only said half of the words, but the Queen Mother didn't understand? I also know that it is impossible.
"If that's the case, it's going to be closed for a few more days."
"Obey." Han Gang bowed his head.
