Great Warriors of Sui and Tang Dynasties

Chapter 1009 Shennong Materia Medica Benefits the People

The court meeting was held for more than two hours.

Above Danchi, the emperor looked very good until the end of the dynasty.

After returning to the palace, Sun Simiao immediately checked the emperor's body, "Your Majesty's court meeting today is too long, it should be within an hour."

"I was happy for a while, so I stayed for a while." Luo Cheng said with a smile, but the emperor still felt a little tired at this time after having held the court meeting for more than two hours.

"Your Majesty, please lie still. I will give you the acupuncture. Your Majesty is overworked today, and your energy and blood are not flowing well." Sun Simiao reminded the emperor.

Luo Cheng lay down obediently.

"Yu Wang, what do you think of my proposal?" Luo Cheng asked with a smile.

Sun Simiao took out the silver needle and prepared to inject it, "I am used to the wild cranes, and I have no intention of career."

"Well, I also know that you don't care about official career and fame, so I won't force you to stay in the Shangyao Bureau as a salary officer, but your medical skills need to be carried forward, and your research needs more resource support. It is actually a bit inconvenient to stay in Zhongnan Mountain for research, but if you don't, I will appoint you as a military doctor at the military hospital under the Ministry of War."

"Don't rush to refuse, let me finish first." Luo Cheng had been with Sun Simiao during this period of time, and he admired his abilities very much, but he was reluctant to let this medical tycoon go.

"The military hospital has different responsibilities from the Dianzhong Provincial Shangyao Bureau and the Taichang Temple Imperial Medical Bureau. The Dianzhong Provincial Shangyao Bureau is responsible for medical treatment for the emperor and the court, while the Imperial Medical Department is mainly responsible for training doctors."

"Before the imperial court set up a military hospital, it was responsible for training military doctors for the army and carrying out military medical education. Now I want to add some responsibilities to the military hospital, such as being responsible for revising medical books, collecting and sorting out folk medical books and prescriptions, and being in charge of military medical procurement and drug store management. , governing the military hospitals and military doctors of each army, and at the same time being responsible for the emperor's military medical edicts."

After listening to it, Sun Simiao was very interested in revising medical books and sorting out and publishing folk medical books and prescriptions among the duties of military hospitals.

"Old Immortal, I hope to ask you to preside over it. First, compile a set of Daqin Materia Medica Compendium. I hope that you can follow the outline, compile the style, and describe the essential books of Materia Medica and theories of medicinal properties."

With the power of the imperial court, famous doctors are invited to preside over the compilation of such a medical book. The purpose is to support and regulate the pharmaceutical industry.This book will collect all kinds of medicinal herbs and prescriptions, etc. The key is to mark them as outlines and list things as objectives, so as to facilitate indexing.Become a learning tool for practitioners in the pharmaceutical industry, and a clinical medication manual, which can play a positive role in the training of military and civilian doctors.

"Your Majesty wants to list and collect all kinds of herbal medicines and medicinal materials from the past dynasties, and list all kinds of diseases?"

"Well, list various herbal medicines, explain the efficacy and contraindications of medication, etc., indicate various diseases, and cure prescriptions, etc."

This is to compile a medical dictionary, all kinds of medicinal materials are included, all kinds of natural medicinal materials and various methods of processing medicinal materials, and then various diseases, their etiology and etiology, what medicine can be used to treat the symptoms .

Of course, the specific medicines and treatments must have their own compatibility additions and subtractions, which must be specific medicines for diagnosis and treatment, but compiling such a never-before-seen pharmacopoeia will still have a huge influence on the entire medical field of.

It is very attractive to Sun Simiao to have the full support of the imperial court to compile such a pharmacopoeia that requires a lot of energy, money and manpower.

If it is based on his personal ability, I am afraid that it may not be completed for decades, and it may not be comprehensive and accurate.With the full support of the imperial court, it will take less time to compile such a pharmacopoeia, and it will be more comprehensive and accurate.

"In the future, the military hospital will also be responsible for sorting out the notes, prescriptions, and medical books left by the civilian doctors. After sorting out and revising, they will be published and included in the collections of the royal and imperial courts to carry forward."

Such a temptation is irresistible to Dr. Sun, who is over 80 years old.

He couldn't help but wryly smiled, "Your Majesty can always find reasons that others cannot refuse."

"Then the old god agreed?"

"I hope I can still see the day when the Compendium of Materia Medica is completed." Sun Simiao laughed.

"I am very pleased to have you in charge of the military hospital. Although the imperial medical office in the past also trained doctors and opened various departments, there were only a few hundred doctors in the imperial hospital, which is too few. Most of them stayed in medicine and food. Among the medical yamen of the imperial court, it is rare to return to private diagnosis and treatment."

"I hope that the military hospital will not only save and heal the millions of soldiers in Daqin, but also train more excellent doctors for the people so that they can go to the localities. I hope that in my lifetime, I can set up Anle hospitals in all the counties and counties of Daqin. Huimin pharmacy will enable more people to see a doctor, have medicines available, enjoy better medical skills, and get better and cheaper medicinal materials."

Anle Hospital and Huimin Pharmacy are a new royal industry proposed by Luo Cheng. It was originally planned to be presided over by the Imperial Medical Office and the Shang Pharmacy Office. The emperor decided to simply let the royal family run it themselves.

Luo Cheng believes that Anle Hospital and Huimin Pharmacy will never lose money even if they take the route of being more civilian-friendly. As long as they operate with care, build word-of-mouth, and scale up, the medical medicine business will definitely be very profitable. business.

Now Liujing has successively opened more than a dozen Anle hospitals and Huimin pharmacies. Their business model is similar to the medical system of later generations, and it is still very different from this time. However, because it is operated by the royal family and has the royal brand, there are The royal endorsement attracted many people to come when it opened.

Especially after they found the friendly price here, as well as the efficient and excellent medical skills and services of many doctors and nurses, they praised it even more.

The only thing restricting the expansion of Anle Hospital and Huimin Pharmacy is that there are too few doctors. Although the royal family hires doctors everywhere, medical clinics and pharmacies in this era are very profitable businesses, and the training of doctors is a long process.

The emperor's expansion of Anle Hospital and Huimin Pharmacy required more professional physicians and physician assistant nurses, and each pharmacy also needed prescription pharmacists who could prescribe prescriptions, which meant that the emperor had to find a way to train himself.

The most special feature of Anle Hospital is that it is divided into multiple disciplines. This is different from ordinary medical clinics where only one or two doctors are in charge, and then lead some apprentices. Most of the doctors in general medical clinics are proficient in one discipline.On the other hand, Anle Hospital is mainly a general hospital, with internal medicine, surgery, pediatrics, gynecology and other departments, more doctors, and even many physician assistants and specialized nurses.

Pharmacies also have pharmacists who are proficient in pharmacological compatibility, which was not available in the past.

"I need to be able to train these medical talents in large quantities." Luo Cheng hopes that the military hospital can become a specialized school that quickly trains doctors in large quantities, and even trains pharmacists and nurses. Doctors and nurses are also provided for private hospitals.

"I have already planned to recruit talented and basic seedlings from all over the world to study and commission them to train."

Luo Cheng intends to directly recruit trainees for the military hospital, that is, targeted recruitment. For example, the army first recruits military medical students, nurse students, or pharmacist students, and then sends them to the military hospital for training. After the training is completed, where do these people come from? where to go back.Not only military doctors are like this, he also intends to do the same for his own Royal Anle Hospital and Huimin Pharmacy.

"Your Majesty's plan is really big." Sun Simiao couldn't help being amazed after hearing this, but he still felt very excited. What the emperor wanted to do was exactly what he, an old doctor, wanted to do and couldn't do, "Mr. This old bone, I am willing to risk it, Your Majesty will fight again."

"Hahaha, don't dare to say that. It's good to have Goddess to preside over the overall situation. As for the specific affairs below, if you need people to transfer people and money to pull out money, you will definitely give full support."

"Your Majesty, this will cost a lot of money." Sun Simiao reminded the emperor in advance.

"How could I not know, but you don't have to worry about this, I will take care of it myself."
