The Great Han Dynasty: From Feng Lang Juxu to the Eternal Emperor

Chapter 326 Great Plan

Zhao Zhou's work efficiency was very fast. According to Wei Ning's decree, Chun Boren was quickly awarded the sixth-grade official position of Supervisor of the Imperial Medical Office and was awarded the official seal.

Jiang Chong was given the title of official of the seventh rank as a supervisor.

In December, it snowed heavily in Guanzhong.

Wei Ning got up early today, and after having breakfast with Qin Ziyu in the East Palace, he went to Weiyang Palace.

He told Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty that he would go out to inspect the palace today. It was already the twelfth lunar month, and there were fewer government affairs in the palace. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had nothing to do, so he asked Wei Ning with interest: "What are you going to do?"

Wei Ning told the truth, "My son plans to take Chun Boren to see the current medical situation in the country."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty smiled and said: "I will go out with you for a walk."

……

The snow in Chang'an did not weaken the vitality of the market. There was a surge of businessmen and people, and the city of Chang'an was very lively.

The common people are enjoying the blessings brought to them by the peaceful era. They don't have to worry about being drafted one day, or the country suddenly levying heavy taxes to support the war.

People who have never experienced the battlefield era will never understand the harm that war does to the people, which is closely related to everyone's life. Once the war comes, prices will soar and the economy will be turbulent. It is impossible to say that it will not have an impact on the daily lives of the people in the rear.

Wei Ning accompanied Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty as he walked on Chang'an Avenue. Behind him, Chun Boren and several disciples followed respectfully the steps of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Weining.

Along the way, Wei Ning asked Chun Boren: "Did you find anything?"

Chun Boren said respectfully: "Going back to your highness, the people live and work in peace and contentment without picking up any relics on the road. The suburbs of the country are polite and orderly. There is an endless stream of merchants. Commerce is developed and it is a prosperous scene."

Emperor Wu of Han grinned slightly, with a smile on his face.

He was naturally in a good mood. After all, this was a prosperous era under his rule. He couldn't help but ask Chun Boren: "How does it compare with the Wenjing period?"

Chun Boren has an upright character and doesn't understand flattery at all, so he said: "It's not as good as that."

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty: "..."

Weining looked embarrassed, changed the subject, and said: "I didn't ask you this, I want to ask you. Along the way, all walks of life in Chang'an have mushroomed, especially bookstores."

"Where's the medical center?"

Wei Ning suddenly spoke, and the atmosphere immediately became weird.

Yes, you can see all walks of life along the way, especially bookstores, printing shops, and four treasures related to education, and there are countless merchants.

But no medical clinic was found. It was difficult to find one or two medical clinics on Chang'an Avenue.

Chun Boren and the disciples of the medical family behind him fell into silence for a long time.

Wei Ning looked at Chun Boren and asked again: "What is the reason for this phenomenon?"

Chun Boren was silent.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty glanced at it and smiled without saying a word.

It turns out that this was the purpose, and this guy just started to trick me now, and he deceived me.

I thought he really just came out to inspect how the people of Chang'an were doing.

Weining paused and said: "Because there are no doctors in the Han Dynasty, because the medical industry has not developed, it is very backward."

"The reason for backwardness is due to the selfishness of human nature, just like education. If the country had not developed imperial examinations, would education have been so prosperous?"

"Educated and educated people in every family want to hide their knowledge, for fear that the disciples will starve to death." "This phenomenon is common in the medical industry. Ask yourself, do you think the same way?"

"Once you hand over your skills, you are afraid that your survival will be a problem in the future, right?"

Chun Boren's cheeks were slightly red.

In fact, it’s not just the medical industry, isn’t it true for everything else? Will the blacksmith hand over his ancestral skills to others?

The accountant who knows how to settle accounts will not teach his skills to others.

In ancient times, if you wanted to get started with learning, you had to pay tuition. This was nothing. Why was it repeatedly emphasized in ancient times that being a teacher for a lifetime was a father?

In ancient China, the learning model was actually similar to elite education in Europe and the United States.

It has not reached the great stage of compulsory education in later generations. Everyone cherishes themselves. As long as they learn a skill, they can gain a foothold in society.

Europe and the United States have small populations, and their national conditions allow them to do this.

But China has been a populous country since ancient times, and we need too many talents to serve the society.

Then the elite education model cannot be implemented, which is also not conducive to the concentration of imperial power.

When knowledge and culture are in the hands of a few people, it is a disaster for centralized power.

Wei Ning did not say these words to Chun Boren, but Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty seemed to understand Wei Ning's intention and couldn't help but gasped and his eyes widened slightly.

Wei Ning said to Chun Boren: "The purpose of opening the Imperial Medical Office alone is not to ask you to serve the imperial court or the privileged and powerful."

"Quite the opposite."

"The original intention of the Imperial Medical Office is to train more doctors and put them into various counties, even counties and villages."

"In this way, the population of the Han Dynasty can be protected from the suffering of diseases. How many people die every year due to ineffective treatment of diseases? Chunjian Zheng, you must be deeper than the orphans."

Chun Boren nodded with deep understanding. Over the years, he had seen too many people die because of the lack of medical personnel and difficulty in seeking medical treatment.

There are also some superstitious people who drink talisman water and practice witchcraft to cure diseases. Countless people have died in this way.

China's traditional Chinese medicine medical technology must be the greatest. Do you want to know how diseases were treated in continental Europe at the same time?

It is no exaggeration to say that their theory is to cut off whatever is broken. For example, if an arm is injured, then cut off the arm...

So why was it that in the end, Chinese medicine was surpassed by Western medicine in its development, and even the nation no longer had confidence in the skills of its ancestors?

Is the impact from other countries too harsh? No, it’s us who have abandoned ourselves, and the legacy of the great Chinese medicine scientists has disappeared.

This is the consequence of the knowledge possessed by a few, and it is destined to be so.

Of course, these ideals are too noble. Weining doesn't want to think about them. Now he just wants to make Han's medical treatment more developed, so that more people can practice medicine and the population mortality rate can be reduced.

Wei Ning took a deep look at Chun Boren and said: "The vision of establishing the Imperial Medical Office alone is to use you as the leader to allow more people who aspire to practice medicine to learn from it."

"You must train more and more doctors for orphans and big men, so that they can spread all over the Central Plains!"

Chun Boren was in awe, his whole body trembled slightly, he clasped his fists and bent down: "The prince is so righteous, how dare I disobey you?"

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty glanced at Wei Ning with complicated eyes. This boy was getting more and more beyond his expectations. His scheme seemed to be bigger than mine, and his thoughts were longer-term than mine.

Don't say that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty didn't think about these things when he was young, and he still doesn't think about it now.

But Weining is different. The so-called master can help the world. Isn't this the quality that Weining is embodying?

I am a good boy, in the future... the big man may really become more and more different!
