Chapter 197: Medical College

The incident of "Peacock Flying Southeast" came to an end with the "voluntary surrender" of Gao Ming, Qin Gu and others, although their specific punishment is still to be tried by the Criminal Department, but it has no impact on the overall situation.

The end result is undoubtedly a big win for Baitu......

Not only did Lujiang County welcome the administration, but in the face of feudal etiquette, Bai Tu was still "arrogant", and at the same time, Kong Rong's "benevolence and love" were also conquered by the people.

Wang Su, the son of Wang Lang, also began to emerge and can be regarded as a master of the new generation of scripture scholars......

After this incident, Jiao Qing was promoted to the new head of the Lujiang Taishou Mansion - in view of the fact that Lujiang was too shou Lu Kang and did not actually take office, Jiao Qing's weight was quite large.

Of course, Jiao Qing was just a small official before, even if he was a little smart, he might not be able to adapt to this son all at once.

But it doesn't matter, Zhou Yu hasn't left yet, during this period, Jiao Qing can not only ask him for advice, but also temporarily Lujiang's military and political affairs, Zhou Yu will be in charge.

Those people from the Gao family and the Jiao family, Bai Tu didn't say anything to the Criminal Department, and they handled the case according to the law......

The Xu family was treated like this before, and the crimes of these people were far less serious than Xu Gong.

Although many people think that the punishment of the Xu family was too light, even Xu Gong's widow and young son were not implicated except for the eldest son who actually participated...... But Baitu did not regret this decision.

Not long ago, when Bai Tu was assassinated, when he was chased by gangsters to the bank of the Wei River, he was assisted by several not very friendly sharpshooters to cover and retreat to the opposite bank.

As for the identities of those people, Bai Tu still doesn't know, obviously the other party has no intention of coming, but ...... Bai Tu already had some guesses.

Because on the arrows that "expelled" him across the river, the Wind Catcher found a clue - an arrow in the shape of an official government that was specially loaded for the bow of the battle armor.

Those marksmen are not only excellent in archery, but also very elusive when they shoot arrows, and they seem to be good at assassination, so they do not use pure laser arrows.

And this shape of the Han army's standard arrows has not been used in Jiangdong for a long time, and the Che Cavalry General's Mansion is using new technology, and these are the old models before the Yellow Turban Rebellion, which is rare.

However, not long ago, a large number of these bows and arrows were found in Jiangdong - in the Xu family's warehouse, so they also had one more charge of secretly possessing weapons!

Therefore, Bai Tu suspected that those people were Xu Gong's disciples.

This would also explain why they discovered the whereabouts of the Yuan assassin in advance—it is likely that the latter took the initiative to contact them to cooperate!

It's just that for various reasons, Xu Gong's disciples not only did not cooperate with them, but even helped Bai Tu.

Of course, the other party is obviously not interested in Bai Tu, so he gave Bai Tu a feeling of "entanglement" before.

On the one hand, it is risking to assist the white map, and on the other hand, it is ...... Not only did he have no intention of defecting, but he didn't even respect Bai Tu.

After checking this, Bai Tu also asked the wind catcher to stop, and after people "help others for fun", they have to leave their names, and Bai Tu doesn't need to chase after them......

At this time, Bai Tu had returned to Shouchun, and at this time the malaria had been completely controlled, and for more than ten consecutive days, no new patients were found, and other patients had been cured...... Or death.

The malaria that swept through half of Jiujiang County eventually killed only a few dozen people, and most of them were before the advent of Artemisia annua, which was undoubtedly a miracle in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

Bai Tu was personally lobbying Zhang Zhongjing at this time......

Originally, after malaria was controlled, Zhang Zhongjing was ready to leave and continue to travel the world and hang pots to help the world, but Bai Tu warmly invited Zhang Zhongjing to stay in the Cheqi General's Mansion...... To be precise, it was the medical school founded by staying in the Cheqi General's Mansion.

"Medical school? Is it an official office under the General's Office? This one...... Thank you Bai Gong for your kindness, but the old man is still better at healing. Zhang Zhongjing also thought that Bai Tu was making him a doctor.

For ordinary doctors, being able to become an official is naturally more promising than practicing medicine and curing diseases, but ...... Zhang Zhongjing is a real doctor who doesn't even care about his official position and directly resigns to practice medicine!

"It's not a government office, but I want to set up a school to train doctors." Bai Tu said.

"Academy? How many people are there? If Bai Gong has any good seedlings, he can introduce them to the old man, travel with the old man, and come back to serve after a few years...... This is different from reading and writing, if it is like a private school, there are more than a dozen or dozens of people at every turn, and the old man is only afraid that he will not be able to catch it. Zhang Zhongjing said.

This is also Zhang Lao's impression of Bai Tu is excellent, otherwise ordinary princes, how can they have this kind of treatment?

However, Zhang Lao was wrong, thinking that Bai Tu just wanted to find a private doctor, and knew that Zhang Zhongjing would definitely not stay, so he did it.

"No, Elder Zhang misunderstood what I meant...... Not a dozen, not a dozen, I hope that in the future, medical schools will be able to produce hundreds, thousands, or even thousands of doctors! Bai Tu said.

Zhang Zhongjing was stunned when he heard this, and before he could say anything, Bai Tu added: "I have checked the livelihood materials in various cities, and in the prosperous era of the Han Dynasty, the average life expectancy of the people could reach forty-five to fifty years old......

The average life expectancy of the Han Dynasty, in terms of the "broad" category of antiquity, was actually the highest, even surpassing that of the Ming Dynasty, and the crown of "antiquity".

The main reason is that the material is abundant, the nutrition can keep up, and the medical treatment has developed greatly, especially in the Western Han Dynasty, ordinary people can also eat meat every once in a while, and the per capita nutrition level is high, which is inferior to other feudal dynasties.

Regardless of the average life expectancy or average height, the Han Dynasty can be said to be outstanding, so there was a saying in the Western Han Dynasty that "one Han is the five Hu" - the Han people at that time were much stronger than the Hu people, and they were crushed in all directions from IQ to physique to equipment......

This was followed by the Ming Dynasty and then the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

It's probably because Tang's prosperity is too short, and ...... The rapid increase in population also limited the growth of life expectancy in terms of nutrition, and after the Ming Dynasty, a large number of high-yield crops flowed in, which increased the average life expectancy again.

"However, since the Yellow Turban Rebellion, he is less than 40 years old...... In addition to the displacement of people due to unrest and the lack of food due to famine, the decline in medical standards and the reduction of doctors are also important factors. Bai Tu said with emotion.

I can't eat enough, and it is naturally more difficult to see a doctor.

"Bai Gong has this love for others, and he is worthy of the title of 'benevolent', Zhang is naturally willing to contribute! It's just that...... Bai Gong may have thought about this matter simply, with the ability of an old man, it would take seven or eight years to bring out two or three apprentices, hundreds, thousands, thousands...... I'm afraid that when manpower is poor. Zhang Zhongjing said regretfully.

"No, it is precisely because of this that I want to set up a medical school, select suitable people as students from the county school, and then take other doctors as teachers to teach layer by layer...... Mr. Zhang doesn't need to do everything himself, as long as he teaches other faculty members well, compiles teaching materials, and then takes charge of the teaching of future medical school doctors. Bai Tu blushed slightly.

That's already the work of several people!

Sure enough, after Zhang Zhongjing heard Bai Tu's words, his face was also a little hesitant, but Zhang Lao's worry was obviously not the same as Bai Tu's, not that he felt that the burden was too heavy, but that he ......

If so, how can we ensure that students succeed in their studies? Medical skills are different from others, and if you are not proficient in learning arts, it is better not to learn. Zhang Zhongjing said.

As a famous doctor at that time, Zhang Lao hated people who had no medical ethics, followed by quacks who misled people.

"I have a somewhat different view on this...... The medical Tao is broad and profound, and people who can be like Zhang Lao, who are all-encompassing, are rare in a hundred years, in this case, why not classify epidemics, trauma, heart and lung damage, poisoning, and old age...... Wait, don't teach it to different people? Bai Tu asked rhetorically.

"Wouldn't it be bad if you meet a patient who you don't understand?" Zhang Zhongjing said worriedly.

"In fact, after the medical school students graduate, I plan to set up county hospitals in each county, with dozens of doctors, each of whom is good at it, and the township will set up some traveling doctors, as long as they know the most basic, treat some headaches and brain fever that are not serious, and those who are seriously ill can come to the county hospital, or even a larger county hospital." Bai Tu said.

In contrast, the current medical hall, even if there is not only one doctor, is generally only two or three more junior apprentices and descendants, and after the apprentices have completed their studies, they will usually set up their own doors.

After all...... The monopoly desire for knowledge not only exists in the narrow sense of "learning", but also in the doctor's mind.

However, Zhang Zhongjing has no worries about this, if there is really a suitable candidate, he wishes that the more people who learn, the better, but before...... Influenced by "common sense", Zhang Zhongjing believed that a doctor must be "omnipotent", so he never found a suitable candidate.

"In this way, do medical students also have to be officials?" Zhang Zhongjing still has concerns.

"Hospitals are not ordinary government offices, and their doctors are supported by the government, but they generally do not need to be granted official positions, let alone care about government affairs other than medical care." Bai Tu knew what Zhang Lao was worried about.

The idea of learning and excelling has been popular for hundreds of years and has been deeply rooted in Confucianism.

It's just that in Zhang Zhongjing's opinion, it would be too wasteful to spend so much effort to train a doctor, if he wants to become an official.

Bai Tu later told Zhang Zhongjing about the concept of the field doctor system - in the army, a certain proportion of medical soldiers are equipped, and at the same time, in large-scale battles, temporary field hospitals can be set up to give priority to treating friendly soldiers...... If resources allow, you can also heal captured enemy troops!

In the short term, these are all burning money in vain, but Bai Tu does not think that this is pure "charity".

How much benefit can a 40-year-old farmer live for 10 more years?

How much combat effectiveness can a 30-year-old veteran create by serving for five more years?

"It's hard." Zhang Zhongjing finally said.

"It's really hard." Bai Tu nodded.

Bai Tu is no longer worried about the success of persuading Zhang Zhongjing, because ...... When Zhang Zhongjing said "it's difficult", his expression was firm.

Sure enough, after that, I only heard Zhang Zhongjing say: "If the general does not change his mind, he is willing to forge ahead with the general." ”

Seeing that Zhang Zhongjing was convinced, Bai Tu couldn't help but feel happy, he also has a lot of medical thesis materials here, but it's just ...... Bai Tu himself can't learn it, and Pang Tong's side is not suitable to add another burden.

Zhang Zhongjingken joined, and the medical school, which had been in preparation for a long time, could finally get on the right track.

And Zhang Zhongjing not only represents himself, but also has made it clear to Bai Tu that he will try his best to recall several of his early students, as well as some old friends who are also in the field of famous doctors in his opinion, to participate in the grand event!
