Traveling through the early Tang Dynasty starts with hanging

Chapter 285
Li Shan stood disappointed in the courtyard of the Imperial Medical Office. He knew that there were only so-called Imperial Hospitals in the Ming and Qing Dynasties, which mainly served the royal family and high-ranking officials. He originally thought that there would be an institution similar to the later medical schools in the Sui and Tang Dynasties. , Still thinking about preaching and accepting karma to solve doubts, what is the result?
The little official searched for a long time, but he couldn't find the Imperial Medical Order and the Imperial Medical Officer of the Imperial Medical Office... In other words, the principal and vice-principal were not there, and the entire Imperial Medical Office was herding sheep.

Li Shan caught a handyman and asked him. At present, there are less than a hundred students in the Imperial Medical Department, and there are very few medical students. They are mainly in the pharmacy department, learning to grow and process medicinal materials.

Thinking about it, it’s true. Planting and processing medicinal materials may not be quick to learn, but it depends on who you compare with... After medical students have completed the "Su Wen", "Mai Jing", and "A and B Jing", they will take the test once a month. There is an exam every quarter, and another exam at the end of each year. Generally, it takes seven years to graduate.

After waiting for half the market without any administrative officials, Li Shan's face became more and more ugly, so he simply flung his sleeves and went back to Zhujiagou.

"The Imperial Medical Office was re-established last year?" Ma Zhou was also a little surprised when he heard that, but then he gloated, "Huiren has good eyesight, so he chose this place!"

Ling Jing thought a little bit more, "That day you tried your best to teach in the imperial medical office in front of the saint, if it didn't work out, I'm afraid it would be difficult for you to become an official for a while."

Li Shan also thought of this point, he had shown his attitude in front of Li Yuan, if there was no certain movement, Li Yuan might not let him become an official in a short time... Even if he became an official, he would not find any good position.

It's not that Li Shan wants a good position, fifth or sixth rank official, which position is better than Zhongshu Sheren?
A more important position makes it easier for him to fall into a whirlpool... So, Li Shan is already thinking about getting out and leaving.

But if I can make some achievements in the Imperial Medical Office, I will have more room to choose, maybe choose a place in Guanzhong?

Now Li Jiancheng and Li Shimin are getting more and more fierce, and now Princess Pingyang is likely to get involved, plus Qi Wang Li Yuanji...

Li Shan thought for a while, then slammed the table and cursed, "If it wasn't for...if it wasn't for him..."

Ling Jing coughed twice. Although Li Dewu abandoned his wife and son, Mrs. Zhu can scold him, but your son can't scold him, at least not in front of others.

Li Shan became famous in the Shandong war. After returning to Beijing, he became an official through the imperial examination, but he was not under the command of the King of Qin, which finally led to this embarrassing situation... In the end, it was because of Li Dewu and the Wenxi Pei family of Wenxi behind Li Dewu.

If it weren't for Li Dewu, Li Shan would have thrown himself into the Prince Qin's mansion openly and aboveboard, and then urged Li Shimin to do it earlier with righteousness.

Ling Jing thought for a moment, then stared at Li Shan, "What if you start from scratch and start the Imperial Medical Office?"

"Do it yourself?" Li Shan was taken aback for a moment, then slapped the table again, "That's right, do it yourself!"

"Taichangqing Dou Dan is kind to you, so there shouldn't be any resistance." Ma Zhou analyzed, "The imperial physician scattered everyone, and no one could restrain them. Huairen used the name of teaching..."

Li Shan got up and walked around in the study, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that there was a door.

I am only responsible for teaching first aid, trauma, nursing, etc. No one can teach except myself, in other words, no one can help... Uh, and those "Su Wen", "Mai Jing", "A and B Jing" themselves I don't understand, I don't even understand pulse diagnosis.

Well, the pro-guards can choose some people to be assistants in the past, and they are all trained by themselves in Shandong.

At most, people from the pharmacy department can help get some trauma medicines. It just so happens that the pharmacy department is not short of manpower... That's natural, because most of the people in the pharmacy department are in the medicine garden, and the medicinal materials processed can be sold for money.

Li Shan raised his finger, "First, you have to ask for money, if you don't have money, you can't do it."

"Secondly, you have to make equipment. Dou Dan's father, Chen Guogong, was also a master craftsman before his death. Hmm, brother Demou can also help. He asked someone to make the pair that he took to Shandong earlier. "

"Thirdly, calling students..." Li Shan hesitated, "I'm afraid few people will come."

Ling Jing nodded and said: "I was born in the former Sui Imperial Medical Office, and I am a famous doctor among the people. I'm afraid I don't want to have blood on my hands..."

The words were euphemistic, but Li Shan could understand the implication. Although those students were all common people, they entered the Imperial Medical Office with the hope of becoming doctors or doing medicine business.

And Li Shan wants to train a group of people to prepare for the construction of the wounded barracks, those students may not be willing... After all, identities are different.

In the final analysis, this is the difference between doctors and nurses... This kind of difference also exists in later generations of hospitals.

Li Shan pursed his lips, "Choose from the farmer's son, Xu Mian's army will be recruited!"

After a pause, Li Shanchi asked, "Is it possible?"

Ling Jing thought for a while, "Nowadays, the world is roughly unified. Except for the Turks, there is no war. Guanzhong government soldiers... If you just choose dozens of people, it's okay."

Ma Zhou rolled his eyes, "Try 50 people first, Xu Mian's army will be recruited, if it happens in the future... just take them under the Li family and serve as Huairen's personal guards."

It's a bad idea...but it's a solution.

In fact, in the sixth year of Wude, even if the Guanzhong government soldiers went out to make meritorious service, the land allocated was not as good as in previous years, not only less, but also barren, and it was very far away.

If benefits can be given, such as being called as a personal guard, Li Shan's idea is still feasible.

Li Shan scratched his bun and said harshly, "Let's go tomorrow!"

In fact, Li Shan knew that the biggest problem was not money, equipment and recruiting students, but the most difficult thing was the general anatomy teacher... There is really no place to get it.

In this era, even the corpses of the enemy soldiers must be buried. Human death is the most important thing... Before setting up a wounded barracks in Guantao, there were many opportunities to practice, but now the war is over, and only the Turks are left.

Waiting for the Turks to send the head?
Even at dinner all night, Li Shan was worried in his heart. He didn't know how many death-row prisoners were imprisoned by the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple, but even beheading or hanging was useless, and he couldn't be a general teacher.

I don't know what the formalin ingredient is...

"Lang Jun."

Li Shan took a few sips of water from the teacup, "Mother, what do you want to tell the child?"

On the opposite side, Mrs. Zhu glanced at Mrs. Zhou and saw Mrs. Zhou retreating, and then said: "You have to be granted the title of Guantao County Duke, but you have not entered an official position. I heard that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials has been transferred?"

Before Li Shan went to the Ministry of Officials for the selection test, he used Feng Lun as an excuse. After hearing this, he smiled wryly and said, "Mother, my son wants to teach in the Imperial Medical Office, but unexpectedly..."

After listening to his son's explanation, Zhu frowned and asked, "So what if it doesn't work?"

"The top of the list of Jinshi, I went to the Ministry of Officials for the selection test. I heard that the Minister of the Ministry of Officials is concurrently in charge of the Secretary of the Central Committee... It seems that the people who came to worship that day were the children of the Hongnong Yang family?"

Li Shan nodded, "Yang Siyi, his father is Duke Yang of the Zhongshu Ling."

Yang Siyi is also a Jinshi of this subject. He met Li Shan in Pingkangfang that day, and later visited with Li Kai and others.

"But the child boasted a lot in front of the sage that day. If it doesn't work, the sage will be displeased."

As soon as these words came out, Zhu's face changed slightly. After all, the examples of the two emperors of the Sui Dynasty were placed in front of them. The courtiers who did not have a sacred heart, even if they were famous all over the world, it was difficult to climb up.

"Mother, don't worry, the child has already taken care of this matter." Li Shan deliberately enlivened the atmosphere, not wanting his mother to worry about such things, and said casually: "The house in Chang'an has been visited a few days ago, and Uncle Yuwen moved in." It's clean, when the time comes..."

"If Dalang wants to move in, he can clean up by himself." Mrs. Zhu snorted expressionlessly, "Go to Dongshan Temple for my mother to be with Nanyang."

Li Shan made an uh, well, he said something wrong, so he could only bow and salute, "My child is wrong."

Mrs. Zhu sighed slightly. For the past two years, she has been going to Dongshan Temple to talk to Princess Nanyang basically every two or three days.

"Princess Pingyang's mansion sent postings today, and Princess Pingyang and Duke Qiao will come to pay a visit the next day." Mrs. Zhu confessed, "Don't leave home the day after tomorrow."

Li Shan agreed, thinking that it would only be seven or eight days since he left the princess mansion, and Princess Pingyang would be able to go out so soon... I just don't know what to think about changing from an aunt to a sister.

After returning to the room, Li Shan leaned on the couch, touched the bed board under him, and said casually: "Ming'er tell Erlang, cut some bamboo to make a bamboo bed."

The Zhou family responded immediately, and the Erlang Li Shan mentioned was Zhou Zhoulang, Zhou's second brother.

Glancing at the charming Zhou family, Li Shan sighed and put his arms around his waist. It's a pity that she is a woman, and she is also his concubine, otherwise he could go to the Imperial Medical Office to be a helper.

Lying obediently on Li Shan's chest, Mrs. Zhou whispered after a while, "Mr. Lang, the second brother mentioned today that most of the new houses in the village are now completed, and there are a lot of red bricks piled up in the brick factory..."

"Yeah." Li Shan came back to his senses and said with a smile, "Can't Erlang and Qi Laoliu be sold?"

The Li family accounted for [-]% of the brick factory's income, and the remaining [-]% ​​was taken by Qi Laoliu and the others. Now that they can't sell it, they are naturally impatient.

Li Shan asked a few words, and quickly figured out what the problem was. Building a house in this era is a big deal, even if it is a big deal to build a new house in the countryside in later generations. With so many red bricks... how many people would buy them if they were sold in villages and towns outside the city?
And new gadgets are always hard to sell at the beginning.

They can only be sold if they are sent to Chang'an City... Those squares near the imperial city are luxury houses, but the farther away from the imperial city, the more dilapidated the houses are, and the demand is not small.

"When you enter the city tomorrow, let Erlang follow you." Li Shan ordered, and unconsciously moved his right hand.

Mrs. Zhou murmured a few times and begged, "Your Majesty, please turn off the lights."

Xiaoman, who had just entered the door, gritted her teeth and turned her head to go out... She didn't want to stay, the benefits were not reaped, and she had to fetch hot water afterwards.

In the early morning of the next day, Li Shan was unusually late to get up, and only slowly got up after finishing his morning exercises.

While eating breakfast, people called Zhu Ba, Zhu Shitou, and Zhao Da, the local guards of Zhujiagou. If they wanted to recruit students in the farms outside the city, they could only rely on these locals.

Li Shanzai explained carefully, "Either there are more males in the family, or less land..."

Naturally, you have to devote yourself to learning, you have to go to the fields for a while, and you have to do housework for a while. How can you learn well... and they are all farmers outside the city. It is not easy to enter Chang'an. In this era, horses are equivalent to cars. Jun's extraordinary white horse is equivalent to a Porsche.

After thinking about it, Li Shan added: "For lunch and dinner, each person will be given a monthly payment of [-] Wen."

One hundred wen is a lot, Li Shan felt that he was quite generous.

But after entering the imperial city, Li Shancai realized that the price of food has risen to [-] Wen per bucket of rice.

In the Tang Dynasty, Li Shan didn't know how much a bucket was in the later generations, but he roughly estimated that it was about ten catties.

In other words, you can earn about two catties of rice a month... If the price of food continues to rise, it may be a catty of rice, or even a few meters.

Li Shan hesitated for a moment, but soon realized that the young men who had been summoned only needed to have a breakfast at home... It will be May soon, and the next few months will be the most desperate time, a man does not waste the family Too much grain and rice, as long as the family has enough labor, most farmers can accept it.

But after entering Taichang Temple, Li Shan changed his face and stared at Taichangqing Dou Dan resolutely, "Brother Guang, you and I hit it off right away, and I can't deny that the price of rice in Jingzhao has soared. I don't want money, I just want food." Meter!"

Dou Dan is speechless. Are we now discussing whether to give you money or food?
There is another department in the Imperial Medical Office. This kind of thing is small, but it is also big... As Tai Changqing, Dou Dan is qualified to be the master, but he has a weak temperament and always does things according to the rules. He doesn't like to be unconventional. .

"I will teach next time, and the students will be summoned separately, but the rations for the students must be paid by Taichang Temple." Li Shan didn't care about it, and told all the things straightforwardly, "In addition, the equipment needs the help of Brother Guang, remember Brother Guang and the general We are familiar with master craftsmen."

Dou Dan asked about the details, and immediately said, "It should be the responsibility of the Ministry of Industry to manufacture such equipment!"

"The house of the Imperial Medical Office is in ruins and needs to be rebuilt. It happens to be a master craftsman..." Li Shan paused, then whispered: "The Minister of the Ministry of Industry... I really..."

Feng Lun, Shangshu of the Ministry of Industry, now hates Li Shan to the bone. If he begs to come to his door, it would be polite to shut him down.

After talking about it for more than an hour, Dou Dan gritted his teeth and refused to nod. Thinking about it, too, Taichang Temple is not rich, it is a clean yamen, and the landlord's family has no food left!

In the end, Li Shan's mouth was almost worn out, and Dou Dan only agreed to say hello to the master craftsman, and first built a few houses in the Imperial Medical Office, and refused to accept the manufacture of equipment and the allocation of grain and rice. , At most allocate some money to go.

After Li Shan left, Dou Dan entered the palace immediately and reported the matter one by one.

Li Yuan couldn't help laughing and said: "Yesterday I was discouraged, but today I am uplifted. Such a young man is really sharp."

That day when Li Shan said that he was going to give lectures at the Imperial Medical Office, Li Yuan knew it right away. This guy didn't even know what the Imperial Medical Office looked like.

"Leave it to him." Li Yuan thought for a while, and ordered: "I will be a master craftsman for making equipment, and as for grain and rice... Taichang Temple allocates some money to make Huai Ren a headache."

Dou Dan couldn't see it, but Li Yuan knew it as soon as he heard it. Li Shanming was begging Taichangqing Dou Dan, but he was actually targeting himself, the emperor.

Li Yuan also wanted to see what kind of movement that young man could make in such an imperial medical office.
