The days when I was an obstetrician and gynecologist in Chang'an

Chapter 904 Please save my wife, she is about to be forced to death by the Lord!
(Thanks to ivyzw for the monthly ticket~)

Mei Ruying kept the letter of appointment that Li Sanniang brought, but she did not directly agree to be a teacher at the Women's Medical School. She only said, "This is not a small matter. Let me think about it for a while. Is that okay?"

Li Sanniang naturally agreed to Mei Ruying's words. After all, she didn't expect to succeed in one try.

It’s not that there aren’t any female teachers nowadays, but most of them are hired by aristocratic families for their daughters. The only things they teach are music, chess, calligraphy, painting, and embroidery, so that their daughters can marry into a wealthy family in the future.

In this way, a girl who marries a rich man can ask her husband to help the man from her family.

In other words, what they did was just to package the girls in their family to look better so that they could be sold to a wealthy family and get a high price.

Most of these female teachers were married women from declining families. They needed the tuition money to accept the job offers from wealthy families to teach the girls.

There are not many students in this kind of family education, usually ranging from five or six to ten.

There are many people like Luzhuer who go to the girls' school, and there are at least 20 to 30 people in a class.

What is taught in that school is almost the same as that in the boys' school. It includes all the six arts of a gentleman: rites, music, archery, charioteering, calligraphy and mathematics. Except for archery and charioteering, all the other four are taught.

The reason why these two things are not available in girls' schools is that horses are scarce and girls are weak, so a bow and arrow is definitely not something that an average girl can pull.

Most of the teachers in this girls' school are older men, but there are women as well. There are also a few older women who serve as teachers. Li Sanniang has heard from Luzhuer that the piano teacher in their school is a female teacher.

But these two, whether it is the family school of aristocratic families or the girls' school, are completely different from the female medical school that Li Sanniang wants to build.

First, the students of the Women's Medical School must be girls from all walks of life, and most of them should be common people who want to study medicine in order to have a livelihood in the future.

Even if I can't be a female doctor, it would be good to be a female doctor.

The qualifications of these students are different. Confucius's idea of ​​teaching everyone is not acceptable to everyone in this era.

Those who can afford to go to school must be from a wealthy family, so they have the spare capacity to support their unproductive descendants.

As for Li Sanniang's female medical school, I think the girls who sign up must be from poor families. In addition to seeking a way to make a living in the future, they also want to do what Li Sanniang said in the notice posted outside the obstetrics and gynecology hall. As long as they sign a contract and accept the arrangements of the obstetrics and gynecology hall after graduation, they will only be charged for food in the school, and tuition and accommodation will be free of charge.

Secondly, the tradition of the medical profession is that the master teaches the apprentice for a lifetime.

As the saying goes, teaching your apprentice will starve you to death. This is true not only for doctors, but also for carpenters and blacksmiths.

Learning a skill to make a living is a lifelong endeavor. If one is able to do it, most people would only pass it on to their children at home. Why would they teach it to outsiders?
It is taught in the Imperial Medical Bureau, and if you have the insight, you will master this skill. If you don’t, you will not be able to be promoted, and will waste your whole life as a ninth-rank official.

And if Li Sanniang hired someone to be a teacher in the school, wouldn't that be a bit like destroying someone's job?

The female doctors who graduate from Li Sanniang's Female Medical School will be able to enter the Imperial Medical Bureau after passing the examination!

There is a lot of room for every job. If there is one more female doctor in the obstetrics and gynecology department, there will be one less male doctor to take the position.

If it weren't for the fact that Li Sanniang was already an official in the Imperial Medical Bureau and had been praised by Princess Taiping at the Physician Exchange Conference, which led to the conclusion that Li Sanniang was someone under the great protection of Emperor Wu, how could this female medical school have been established?
In the eyes of some people, Li Sanniang's female medical school is an infringement of their interests.

Thirdly, before a large number of doctors were trained, medical insurance was something that only the upper class could enjoy.

It can be said that this is a monopoly service.

If any one of the doctors on duty in the palace was released to the public, how much use would he have?
At least, we can save a dozen or twenty more people a day.

But such a great doctor can only be used by those people in the palace.

The purpose of the female medical school established by Li Sanniang was to spread the knowledge and skills. If more doctors emerged, the interests of the monopolists would inevitably be damaged.

Therefore, Mei Ruying temporarily refused to work as a teacher in the Women's Medical School, and Li Sanniang understood this very well.

Li Sanniang also thought about plan B. If she really couldn't hire anyone, the worst that could happen was that she would ask the doctors in the Imperial Medical Bureau to take time out to give classes.

In this feudal dynasty, Li Sanniang felt that there was nothing she could not accomplish since it was something that was strongly supported by the supreme ruler, Emperor Wu.

The question is, is it done well?

It has been two days since she came back from Dr. Gao, but Li Sanniang still hasn't received a letter from Mei Ruying agreeing to be a female teacher.

She couldn't help but sigh a little. Before she could finish her breath, Song Fuling walked in at a fast pace. She handed the letter in her hand forward with an anxious look on her face: "Master, Yu Xuelian's personal maid is outside. This is the letter she handed in. It must be something."

Li Sanniang quickly took the letter and read just a few lines before her brows knitted together. She raised her head and said to Song Fuling, "Please invite the maid in. I have something to ask her."

Song Fuling responded and walked out.

Qiuxiang, who had been sitting at the table diagonally opposite Li Sanniang, also stood up. She walked over and watched Li Sanniang reading the thin piece of letter paper at a very fast speed.

After reading the letter, Li Sanniang handed the letter directly to Qiuxiang in the face of Qiuxiang's questioning look.

Qiuxiang was reading the letter and said in surprise: "This Yu family is too... too..."

Qiuxiang couldn't find the right words to describe it, so she just looked at Li Sanniang in surprise.

Li Sanniang sighed angrily: "This is too cruel. They don't even care about human life. After all, Xue Niang is their own child."

The two of them had only exchanged a few words when Song Fuling led Yu Xuelian's maid into the house.

As soon as the maid entered the room and saw Li Sanniang, she knelt down in front of Li Sanniang without saying a word. She raised her head twice, and the maid looked only eight or nine years old. She cried to Li Sanniang in a sobbing voice: "Please, Doctor Li, save my wife. My wife is about to be forced to death by the master!"

Without waiting for Li Sanniang to get up to help the maid, Song Fuling immediately pulled the little maid up from the ground. Then, Song Fuling directly took out her own cloth towel and wiped the tearful face of the maid.

"You kid, stop crying and tell us about your wife's situation."

It took the maid some time to calm down. Song Fuling handed her a cup of tea. She took it and drank a sip, then said directly to Li Sanniang, "My master has arranged a marriage for my lady, and he has already gone to Naji.

But my wife didn't want to, she didn't want to get married, and she decided to marry in Dengzhou, which is far away from Chang'an.

The lady said she wanted to be a female doctor like Doctor Li, but the master did not allow it and asked the first lady to take care of the lady. "

At this point, the maidservant's tears, which had just dried, began to flow down again. She cried and said, "It's been seven days, seven days already. My wife has been locked up for seven days.

The Madam did not allow me to deliver food, so I received the letter when I went to collect the toilet.

I am a little maid in your madam's courtyard. As soon as I got the letter, I found a chance to leave the mansion."

With a "thump", the little maid knelt down again, "Please ask Doctor Li to save my wife, she will really die."

Qiuxiang would of course not let the little girl kneel down and kowtow again. She simply grabbed the little girl's collar and lifted her up.
