Daming: I, Yang Xian, really govern Yang!

After more than a month, the pox crisis in Beijing has finally come to an end.

But it was precisely because of this smallpox that Yang Xian realized that it was necessary to promote the Ming Dynasty to carry out health reforms.

Otherwise, this time it was smallpox, and we don’t know what it will be next time.

In Yang Xian's view, it is not that traditional Chinese medicine is ineffective, but that traditional Chinese medicine has strong limitations.

In the field of traditional Chinese medicine, one must have a solid medical accumulation, practice medicine under the guidance of famous teachers for many years, and accumulate rich clinical experience, in order to give a more accurate diagnosis by looking, hearing, asking, and caring about the patient.

However, this is too subjective and requires a lot of experience and intuition to improve the accuracy of diagnosis, which makes it difficult for doctors to do their job.

Even two doctors who have been famous for a long time may give different diagnoses to the same patient.

However, most doctors are not good at academics and basically rely on misdiagnosis when treating patients, so a large number of misdiagnoses occur.

Not to mention Western medicine at this time, which was completely synonymous with recklessness and disregard for human life. If you look at the diagnosis and treatment process of King Charles II of England, you will know that it is simply outrageous to open the door to outrageousness. It is extremely outrageous.

Yang Xian has always admired modern medicine. Western medicine cannot represent modern medicine. There has never been a distinction between Chinese and Western medicine, but only traditional old medicine and modern new medicine.

Yang Xian told Zhu Biao his ideas and immediately received Zhu Biao's strong support.

Apart from anything else, the most urgent need right now is to set up cowpox vaccination stations in every state capital across the country to vaccinate all Ming people against cowpox.

Yang Xian said: "The Huimin Pharmacy in each state can be restructured and a hospital can be established to be responsible for medical treatment and consultation for the people in the area."

"Yang Qing's proposal is naturally a good one." Zhu Biao frowned and then said. "But the imperial court may not be able to find so many doctors at once."

Huimin Pharmacy only dispenses medicine.

But if Yang Xian really wanted to change it into a hospital, where would he find the doctor?

Professional medical talents are scarce in any era.

Even in later generations, medical care is still a scarce resource, and hospitals are full every day, 365 days a year. In our country, medical care is the most unsatisfactory to the people.

Yang Xian nodded and said, "If the situation in the Ming Dynasty is based on today, the number of doctors will definitely be far from enough. It is precisely because of this that we must train medical professionals as soon as possible."

Zhu Biao's eyes lit up, and he suddenly thought of something, and said, "Yang Qing, are you going to build a school specifically to train doctors, just like the normal college and military academy you established before?"

Yang Xian smiled and said: "Yes, it is urgent to establish a specialized medical school. Medical schools and hospitals are inseparable and complementary, and have clear functional differences. The former is a place to study how to treat diseases and train medical staff, while the latter is where the former The place where the former comes into play is also where the former connects theory with practice.”

Zhu Biao was very excited after hearing this, but he soon calmed down and said with some worry: "Any famous miracle doctor will cherish his own medicine, and he will be very selective in selecting his disciples. They are really willing to pass on their lifelong medical skills unconditionally." ?"

Yang Xian shook his head slightly and said: "Like these schools today, the medical knowledge taught in the newly established medical school will also be brand-new. I will teach in person and strive to cultivate a group of capable students in a short time. Lecturer who teaches at the school.”

Zhu Biao couldn't be happier to hear that Yang Xian was willing to teach medical skills in person.

You must know that Yang Xian can even cure smallpox. It is no exaggeration to say that his medical skills are the best in ancient and modern times.

He is willing to teach classes, but he is afraid that the doctors who come to attend the lectures will overcrowd the medical school classroom.

"With Yang Qing's words, I feel relieved." Zhu Biao said with a smile.

Yang Xian then said: "Both medical schools and hospitals take time, but I think the vaccinia vaccination work cannot be delayed, so vaccinia vaccination stations in various places can be established first."

"As for the cowpox vaccinators, I think we can use those palace ladies who are old enough to leave the palace. This time, the cowpox vaccination work went so smoothly for all the people in the capital, precisely because of their help. Later, when hospitals in various states are established, This group of people can enter the hospital and become female nurses, specifically to take care of patients.”

It is taboo for palace maids to come into contact with outsiders.

If it hadn't been for this smallpox incident, the matter was really too big. If he wanted to eliminate the unrest in the shortest possible time, Zhu Yuanzhang might not have accepted Yang Xian's suggestion at that time.

But the role these palace ladies played in the smallpox epidemic was obvious to everyone. Because of taking care of patients, women are more careful and patient than men.

Zhu Biao pondered for a while and said, "I will report this to my father."

In Zhu Biao's view, Yang Xian's suggestion may be a good destination for these palace ladies who are of the right age to leave the palace.

Many maids in the palace are homeless. They have served in the palace for ten or twenty years, and they cannot afford to be helpless when they grow old.

Nowadays, there are not only eunuchs but also maids in the palace. After experiencing the late Ming Dynasty, many maids themselves were orphans without parents or fathers.

Eunuchs sometimes become more useful as they get older, but this is not the case for palace maids.

Therefore, it is really difficult to arrange these older palace ladies.

Although it is only the twelfth year of Hongwu, there are many people who have been working in Prince Wu's mansion since the year of Dragon and Phoenix.

Moreover, even the group that entered the palace in the first year of Hongwu are now in their twenties, and it is almost time to be released from the palace.

In other words, Yang Xian's proposal even helped the palace solve this problem.

a few days later.

The imperial court first conveyed the good news that smallpox had finally been conquered to the whole world through newspapers, and then came another big news. The Ming Dynasty was about to establish the Ming Medical College, and the person in charge of the lecture was Yang Xian, who had conquered the smallpox epidemic.

It caused a nationwide sensation.

Countless doctors set out for the capital only to attend this grand medical event.

Huichang County, in front of Yishengtang Drug Store.

A young man was carrying a bamboo basket, dressed as if he was about to go on a far journey.

"Mu Bai, do you really want to go to the capital?" A woman grabbed the young man's hand with a look of reluctance on her face.

"The child is pursuing his own ideals. What are you, a woman, crying about?" At this time, a middle-aged man walked out of the drug store, glanced at the woman, and frowned.

The woman complained: "Mu Bai didn't fall from you. Of course you don't feel sorry for him. He has never traveled far since he was a child, and now he has to go to a place so far away from the capital. What if something happens on the way? What happened, what should I do?”

"Woman, do you think it's still the former Yuan Dynasty? You will encounter bandits on the road. Now the train can go directly to the capital."

The middle-aged man turned to look at his son, with a proud look on his face, and said: "Son, even if you pursue your ideals, if it weren't for the people of Huichang County who still need my care, I would definitely go with you. of."

This young man's name is Xiao Jiuxian, also known as Mubai, and he was born in a medical family. His father, the middle-aged man in front of him, is named Xiao Li, a well-known local doctor in Huichang County.

The Yishengtang drug store he opened is famous far and wide, and there is an endless stream of people seeking medical treatment every day. This is why Xiao Li said he can't live without it.

Under the influence of such a strong medical atmosphere, Xiao Jiuxian learned all about his father's true teachings. He was able to read, read and inquire at the age of 9. By the age of 14, he had read all the medical books in the world and helped his father to treat patients. His superb medical skills even amazed his father. .

Xiao Li knew that his son's medical skills now far exceeded his, and he had nothing more to teach him.

Xiao Li hoped that his son could go further in the field of medicine instead of being trapped in such a small place for his whole life, although in his opinion there was nothing wrong with it. Therefore, after seeing the news published in Daming Daily, Xiao Li, as a father, was the first to support Xiao Jiuxian's decision.

Able to cure smallpox, his medical skills can be said to be the first in ancient and modern times.

The opportunity to learn under the hands of a leader in medical skills is not always available.

Situations like Xiao Jiuxian's happened all over the Ming Dynasty at the same time.

"Finally arrived in the capital."

"It's so big and prosperous."

A handsome young man got off the train and finally arrived in the capital with a carriage pulling goods.

The younger brother’s name is Tan Yunxian, and he also came to Beijing to study in medical school.

After submitting to the police station and entering the city, he expressed the same emotion as before.

At this moment, Tan Yunxian suddenly heard a shout coming from the front.

"Mother, mother, what's wrong with you!"

"Mom, don't scare me?!"

Tan Yunxian followed the sound and saw an old woman suddenly falling to the ground. A young man held her in his arms and shouted loudly.

"Young man, take your mother to see a doctor quickly."

"Yes, yes, see the doctor, see the doctor"

Hearing the shouts from people around him, the young man finally came to his senses, hugged the old woman and headed to a nearby medical center.

A loud shout stopped him.

"Can't move!"

Tan Yunxian, who was coming from Xunsheng, stood in front of the young man and said, "It looks like your mother has suffered a stroke."

"Most stroke victims are caused by poor blood circulation and congestion. If you move, something may happen!"

"really?"

"What should I do then."

The young man took Tan Yunxian's hand and asked loudly.

"Since you can tell that my mother has a stroke, you must be able to cure the disease. I beg you to save my mother. I beg you."

Tan Yunxian withdrew his hand and said, "I'll give it a try."

"Come on, come on, show me to my mother."

Tan Yunxian walked up to the old woman, examined her carefully, and after confirming that she had suffered a stroke, he said, "Does anyone have a needle for sewing clothes?"

After hearing this, a passerby on both sides of the road immediately ran to a tailor shop on the street, lent a needle, and shouted loudly: "Here comes the needle!"

"Mom, hold on!" the young man said.

Tan Yunxian reached out to take the needle, pricked the old woman's earlobe very decisively and quickly, and then started squeezing it with both hands. In an instant, dark red blood was squeezed out.

"Is this really possible?" the young man asked.

"It should be okay." Tan Yunxian replied while squeezing continuously. "After the bad blood is squeezed out, the old lady should be fine."

Not only the earlobes, Tan Yunxian then pricked each of the ten fingers of the old woman, and said at the same time: "Come and help me squeeze out all the blood."

"Good good!"

The young man quickly imitated Tan Yunxian's squeezing movements and started doing it.

Not long after, the old woman responded and woke up again.

"Mom, are you okay?" The young man looked at his mother who woke up and cried with joy.

"You can take your mother to the hospital now. You still need to take a good rest." Tan Yunxian looked at the old woman who had woken up, and said with a smile on his face.

"Thank you, my benefactor! Thank you, my benefactor!" The young man immediately knelt down, kowtowed to Tan Yunxian a few times, and then helped his mother walk towards the hospital.

When the passersby who were watching saw this scene, they also praised: "This young master, you are really a master of rejuvenation."

"Shixuan bloodletting can indeed cure stroke. Brother, I am very experienced in acupuncture skills. I don't know who he studied under. I really admire him." At this moment, a young man walked out of the crowd, looked at Tan Yunxian and said.

This young man was Xiao Jiuxian who had rushed all the way from Huichang County to the capital. He had just seen the old woman fainting in the crowd. He originally wanted to help, but after seeing Tan Yunxian take action, he took back his steps.

Seeing Tan Yunxian turning to look at him, Xiao Jiuxian cupped his hands and said, "I'm Xiao Jiuxian, from Huichang County. He is a doctor."

"Tan Yunxian." Tan Yunxian replied.

"Brother Xiao, thank you very much. I only know a little bit about medical skills."

"Brother Tan is too modest. At such an age, he can have such medical skills. If he only knows a little bit about it, then other doctors in the world will be ashamed." Xiao Jiuxian said.

Tan Yunxian shook his head slightly and said: "In front of Duke Yang, I am afraid that my little medical skills cannot be called even a little understanding. If I say I know a little bit, I am actually bragging."

When Yang Xian was mentioned, Xiao Jiuxian also looked solemn and said: "Yang Guogong's medical skills are naturally unparalleled in the world, no, he should be said to be the best in history."

"Yes, Duke Yang is the person I admire most in my life." When he said this, Tan Yunxian's eyes shone. Because in her mind, Yang Xian was far from being a master of medical skills.

"As expected, Brother Tan also came to the Capital Medical College to study." Xiao Jiuxian said. It is not difficult to guess that at this time, a young man with such superb medical skills appears in the Capital with only one purpose.

"Brother Xiao too?" Tan Yunxian asked.

Xiao Jiuxian nodded and said, "In that case, let's go together."

This was the first encounter between two future leaders of Ming medicine.

At the same time, here at the palace. (End of chapter)
