Chapter 419: Gratuitous Healing
Hearing Ning Yunxiao's question, the person in charge hurriedly replied: "This is known to everyone inside and outside the court, and the old minister naturally knows one or two. ”
"Then my lord thinks it's wrong to open a medical center in the capital to treat people for free?" Ning Yunxiao didn't directly explain his intentions, but asked first, wanting to hear what this lord in charge thought.
"This ......" The master in charge smoothed his beard, which had turned white, and put down the tea cup in his hand, as if he was considering how to speak. The old minister thinks that everything must be reversed. Although this is a good thing to see a doctor for free. The truth of the doctor's benevolence has not dared to be forgotten for so many years, but if everything is free, then the relationship between the doctor and the patient will be messed up. ”
Although the lord in charge didn't know what Ning Yunxiao saw in the medical hall in the capital the day before, his analysis was just right, and he thought that it should have been brewed in his heart a long time ago.
"That's what the Lord thinks? But what should be the people who the palace and the emperor met in the early days who looked down on the sick? Ning Yunxiao couldn't turn around, so he wanted to hear the old man's advice even more.
According to Lao Chen, the fact that the people can't afford to see a doctor is not a day or two. The root cause is not that the people were looted, nor is it that there are any problems with the emperor's system. The root cause of this is that the people are not yet well-off. But there is a reason for this. I haven't been peaceful for a long time, and now my business is recovering well. The man sighed and talked eloquently.
Ning Yunxiao also knows the principle of economy-oriented and agriculture-oriented. After all, today's living standards are indeed not high, and agriculture is a necessary policy. Only when the people's lives are more comfortable can the problem of medical treatment be completely solved.
This remark made Ning Yunxiao feel suddenly enlightened. On the one hand, she secretly complained that she didn't understand such a simple truth, and on the other hand, she smiled at the master: "When the master said this, this palace understands a lot. It's just that...... Don't hide it from the lord in charge, there have been some problems in the medical hall in the capital, so this palace invited the lord in charge to come, because there are some things to bother you. ”
"Where did the queen mother say this, the old minister should have done his best for the emperor and the queen mother. If the mother has any instructions, just say it. The lord in charge of the matter bowed at Ning Yunxiao again.
Ning Yunxiao smiled and first instructed someone to bring the duty book of the Tai Hospital. The palace man immediately handed it over. Flipping through the booklet, Ning Yunxiao carefully checked the arrangements of the imperial physician in the palace.
There are a total of eighteen doctors in the hospital. Usually, three imperial doctors are arranged every day, and they are rotated every five days, and at the same time, the head of the hospital, the deputy director, and one imperial doctor who take turns to rest and recuperate are available in case of emergency.
This arrangement seems to be just right, and after Ning Yunxiao read it carefully, he raised his eyes and said to the head of the Tai Hospital: "The palace is in some urgent matters now, and the master in charge needs to arrange for two imperial doctors to assist the palace every day, so in the past few days, the imperial doctors of the Tai Hospital have had to work harder." However, the lord in charge can rest assured, and the palace will definitely give the emperor a good reward afterwards. ”
"The queen is polite, the hospital itself is to serve the imperial court. If the mother has something, just order it immediately. The master said hurriedly.
Ning Yunxiao smiled when he heard this: "Since the lord in charge has already said so, this palace will no longer go around in circles." With that, she cleared her throat and opened the doctor's booklet. Bengong thought that if the Tai Hospital could send two people every day to give a series of guidance to the Jianghu doctors in the Beijing Medical Center, maybe the situation would improve. ”
The head of the hospital seemed to think for a moment, nodded and replied, "The queen's words are reasonable. ”
"In that case, the idea of the main palace is. The originally scheduled rounds were readjusted, and the Tai Hospital rotated every three days, and the head of the hospital and the other two Tai doctors were still in the Tai Hospital in case of emergency. The remaining six imperial doctors still rotate every three days, and two of them go to the literati hall in the east of the city every day to arrange for those traveling doctors to teach. What do you think? Ning Yunxiao saw that the person in charge did not object, so he simply said it directly.
The old man listened, thought about it, nodded and said, "Niangniang's arrangement can be tried." ”
Ning Yunxiao saw that the old chief did not object, so he selected six people from the list of imperial doctors, and also arranged for the deputy chief to be included. Then, Ning Yunxiao took advantage of the fact that he had not yet started to rectify and re-established a set of rules.
On the third day, Ning Yunxiao had people arrange for the closure of five or six medical centers in the capital, leaving only one at the gate of the city, and arranged for two imperial doctors to watch. Gather all the doctors who practice medicine together and gather at the Chengdong Literati Museum. The deputy director of the Tai Hospital will give them some guidance and explanations.
At the same time, Ning Yunxiao also called all the children in the infirmary and arranged for the guards to help in the infirmary at the gate of the city for the time being. These little guys and medicine boys were gathered together, and another imperial doctor and Ning Yunxiao were personally responsible for rectifying them.
Ning Yunxiao arranged for these little guys to be at the entrance of the medical hall, next to the doctor, as well as the place where the medicine was grabbed and some patients who needed to stay in the medical hall for recuperation, and at the same time, two bookkeepers were recruited in each medical hall.
There are five arranged at the entrance of the medical hall, they are all people who have some medical knowledge and need to recommend doctors according to the people who come to the consultation, and there are some small illnesses and disasters that directly make suggestions to improve efficiency, which can also greatly reduce the queuing time of the people who come to see the doctor, and can also ensure that the expertise of each doctor can be brought into play to the greatest extent, and can also avoid some people who are greedy for cheap and pretending to be sick as much as possible.
Then, Ning Yunxiao arranged to leave a small servant and a medicine boy next to each doctor. The little servants are all looking for some people who are literate but not very familiar with medicine, according to the prescription prescribed by the doctor, copy one copy and send it to the concierge to catch the medicine, and the other copy is left by the medicine boy to list the expenses according to the prescription. And when the daily medical hall is about to close, he will hand it over to the bookkeeper to calculate today's expenses, and hand it over to Ning Yunxiao at dusk.
Then, Ning Yunxiao arranged five medicine boys in the pharmacy to catch medicine for the people according to the prescription, ensuring that there were no more catches, no more catches, and no mistakes. At the same time, it can also prevent some people with good intentions from taking advantage of this to covet profits.
In the end, a small servant and two medicine boys were arranged at the patients who needed to stay in the hospital to check. The maid is responsible for some chores, while the medicine boy observes the patient's movements. In this way, it can also reduce the burden on the doctors, and at the same time avoid the situation where the little guys and medicine boys have nothing to do and the doctors are too busy every day.
Ning Yunxiao arranged for all the medical expenses of the eight medical centers in the capital to be about 1,500 taels per year. Except for some rare symptoms and epidemics similar to the plague, the budget of 1,500 taels of silver was not a small amount. At the same time, six doctors, seven handymen, eight medicine boys, and two bookkeepers were arranged for each doctor. The doctor has one person on duty. The rest did not rest. However, under normal circumstances, six of the eight medical centers in the capital are opened, and two of them are arranged to rotate personnel.
At the same time, it is arranged that the doctors and medicine children in each medical hall have salaries. However, it is calculated in terms of working hours. Monthly payroll is based on the number of hours worked. Naturally, the doctors are the most, and the salary of the bookkeeper is not low. The amount of silver spent here in a year should be about four hundred taels of silver.
In this way, the medical center system is more perfect. The expenditure for a year will not exceed two thousand taels of silver.
Ning Yunxiao's idea was proposed, but it still needs a process to implement. Therefore, Ning Yunxiao guided everyone every day according to his own arrangement. All the medical halls are closed for only ten days, and Ning Yunxiao needs to settle everything in these ten days.
In the first few days, Ning Yunxiao's arrangements were relatively in place. She made this suggestion first, and then re-recruited sixteen bookkeepers according to the situation. And these people were retrained. Only those who can meet Ning Yunxiao's requirements can work in the medical center, otherwise they will have to re-study, and there will be no salary during the study period.
Although many people heard of this system for the first time at the beginning, it was inevitable that they were a little unclear, but Ning Yunxiao mentioned it a lot, and they all understood it. Some of the quick-witted ones can quickly figure out why. Although everyone was skeptical of this system, since it was proposed by Ning Yunxiao, no one dared to oppose it.
For several days, Ning Yunxiao taught these little guys in the literati hall, and he didn't even return to the palace for four or five days. Every day, he stayed in the room of the literati hall, and there were palace maids to serve. But even so, Ning Yunxiao can only go underwater tomorrow, and he has to get up and arrange it before dawn, which is really tiring.
"Queen Mother, you haven't had a good rest for five days in a row." On this day, the little palace maid who combed Ning Yunxiao's hair bun was combing her hair when she suddenly said this. The little palace maid who was cleaning up the house next to her heard this and hurriedly said, "Yes, yes, your body is important, Queen Mother." ”
"It's okay, this palace is still young now, and it can resist for some time." Ning Yunxiao smiled and signaled that they had nothing to do with each other. Although it is true that he has not slept well these days, as soon as he thinks that the medical hall will get better and better, and the emperor will not have to worry about it, Ning Yunxiao feels that he is full of energy.
The little palace maid was still a little worried, sighed and said, "But these days, the mother has not even eaten as well as in the past." Often has little appetite. The slave maid asked the imperial doctor to prescribe a prescription to cool off the heat, and prepared some herbal tea on weekdays, but the mother's appetite was still much worse than when she was in the palace. ”
"Isn't it? But it's no wonder that although this literati hall was opened in the imperial court, it is really far worse than the food in our palace. Even the pastries are not made in the right heat, and it is natural that the mother can't eat it. The other girl answered, Ning Yunxiao listened, smiled and didn't speak.
"Niangniang, how many days will we be able to return to the palace?" It was the first time since the little girl entered the palace that she had stayed outside the palace for so long. Already in a bit of a hurry.
"Counting the days, there should be four days left for them to experience and re-establish the medical center." Ning Yunxiao patted the little girl's hand comfortingly, and said, "Hold on for a few more days, and we'll go back to the palace." The little girl was so moved that she didn't know what to say.
After freshening up, the palace people brought breakfast. The food was indeed not very eye-catching, but Ning Yunxiao didn't care about it either. He got up with the help of his servant.
But unexpectedly, as soon as Ning Yunxiao got together, he suddenly felt that the world was spinning. Before the little palace maid beside her could hold her steady, she saw that Ning Yunxiao had fallen straight to the ground and fainted.
