After being turned into cannon fodder, I relied on involution to survive

Yu Zizhen in the palace did not feel the strong resentment of Princess Zhenbei, and she did not care whether Yu Zicheng could finally persuade Princess Zhenbei to help him propose marriage to Chen Nianzhi.

After giving Chen Nianzhi an easier way to climb up, Yu Zizhen thought about the second male lead in the original book again.

That was Yu Zicheng's friend who grew up with him, but he was also the affectionate male partner who fell in love with Chen Nianzhi with him, and finally retired to seclusion with Chen Nianzhi after Yu Zicheng's death.

In fact, Yu Zizhen would say that the second male lead is really more suitable for Chen Nianzhi than Yu Zicheng. After all, he is really affectionate and dedicated to Chen Nianzhi.

Unlike Yu Zicheng, he doesn't cherish it when he gets it, and starts to spend all his energy to collect all kinds of beauties for himself.

Yu Zizhen did not intend to get involved in the emotional problems of the three of them, but after becoming the emperor, it was difficult for her to use her medical talents personally.

In order to improve the overall medical level of this country, she needs some good doctors who have solid medical skills, are also full of research spirit, and can quickly accept new knowledge.

Coincidentally, the second male lead in the original book was the one who met her standards.

If this was someone with a slightly better level, even if it was above average, she would have gritted her teeth and given up, but this one really stood out from the crowd, surpassing other doctors by several blocks.

Such an outstanding person, Yu Zizhen was reluctant to even use him as an imperial physician.

She planned to educate this man and then let him become the director of the hospital and the vice-president of the medical school.

As for the chief dean of the medical school, of course it must be Yu Zizhen herself. Firstly, from the perspective of her medical skills and her contribution to the medical school, she is indeed the most convincing. Secondly, she also needs to have "peaches and plums all over the world". "The various benefits it brings.

After giving Chen Nianzhi a fifth-rank official position and four guards to protect her, Yu Zizhen asked Yu Zicheng to bring the second male protagonist of the original book to her.

The second male character in the original book is Dou Zhang. He was originally a little beggar who lost his father when he was young. By chance, his adoptive father discovered his medical talent and was the best doctor in Zhenbei Palace. The old man's wife died young and he had no life. He had no children, so after adopting Dou Zhang, he taught him medicine carefully.

Dou Zhang lived up to his adoptive father's careful cultivation. In just a few years, he had become better than his master, replacing his adoptive father and becoming the person with the best medical skills in the entire North.

If Yu Zizhen hadn't come out of nowhere and cured the avant-garde Duke and the current Pingliang King who Dou Zhang and other doctors in Daqi were helpless to do, Dou Zhang would probably have become famous far and near as written in the original book. The miracle doctor of the world.

Dou Zhang's dress is relatively low-key and restrained, and his appearance is not as outstanding as that of Yu Zicheng, who is known as "the most handsome man in the world". In addition, Yu Zicheng is also of noble birth and has both civil and military skills. It seems that Chen Nianzhi prefers his "eye for recognizing heroes". What a surprise.

He lowered his eyebrows and saluted Yu Zizhen respectfully, "The common people pay homage to Your Majesty."

"Without courtesy." Before Dou Zhang could kneel down, Yu Zizhen had already signaled to the chamberlain to help him up, "Give me a seat."

The chamberlains and maids who have been working with Yu Zizhen for a long time have long been accustomed to Yu Zizhen's approachability. They have never seen him accept the kneeling ceremony of the person who comes to see him outside of public places.

Everyone was very skillful in assisting others with quick eyesight and hands when she said "no gift". When she said "give me a seat", they immediately moved the brocade stools and put them in the right place.

Dou Zhang had actually heard about Yu Zizhen's dislike of others kneeling before him, but this was his first time meeting a saint, so how could he dare to ignore the rules he was supposed to abide by because of rumors? "I asked Zicheng to bring you here to ask if you are willing to serve as an official." Yu Zizhen did not mince words. After the palace servants brought tea and snacks, she went straight to the point and told Dou Zhang about her purpose.

"I intend to comprehensively improve the medical level in the country, so I plan to establish a top academic institution similar to Taixue, dedicated to teaching doctors in the world."

"When the time is right, I also plan to establish government-run medical clinics in the capital city and in various states and counties."

"If you, Doctor Dou, are willing to serve as an official, I would like to hire you as the vice president of the medical school to be in charge of teaching matters."

Yu Zicheng was dumbfounded once again. The last time he showed such an expression with wide eyes and slightly open mouth was the appointment decree given by Yu Zizhen to Chen Nianzhi.

He said to himself, no wonder some people privately criticized their Majesty for being willful and willful. Just looking at her boldness and decisiveness in appointing people, he could already feel that the other party's opinions on government affairs were accurate.

With an emperor who is so fond of being arbitrary, the voice of those auxiliary ministers will be reduced invisibly.

The voice of the auxiliary ministers has shrunk, and the power at hand of those officials who are not Yu Zizhen's confidants will inevitably become more limited.

The power is gone, there is less oil and gas, and most importantly, the opportunities for "mutual benefit" with other officials are even rarer, making it impossible for them to resettle their own clansmen and relatives.

The benefits they could get in Daqi are no longer available now. Can they have no objection to Yu Zizhen?

Of course, Yu Zicheng can also understand Yu Zizhen's strength. After all, the lessons learned from Daqi's mistakes are still fresh and warm. The impact of official corruption is huge. Yu Zicheng believes that Yu Zizhen must be deeply aware of it and always vigilant.

It has to be said that Yu Zicheng still knows Yu Zizhen very well at this point.

The world in this book is the same as most of the ancient dynasties that Yu Zizhen knew in his previous life. People's literacy rate is generally not high, and knowledge is basically like fertile land, and it is very concentrated in the hands of noble families.

Those children from poor families who are at the bottom of society cannot even buy a book, let alone find a gentleman with good knowledge for themselves as early as possible.

Let's put it this way, in most places, the teachers who sit in private schools only have the reputation of being a scholar or even a child student. However, if they can get the status of a scholar, if they are still willing to teach, then they can basically do it easily. Enter a famous academy in each state and become a teacher.

With such a shortage of teaching staff, coupled with the deliberate monopoly of knowledge by wealthy families, it is really difficult for ordinary people with no connections to get ahead.

Yu Zizhen needs a large number of grassroots officials. Even if she does not ask for the ability of these people, literacy, writing and arithmetic are the most basic.

Although the number of people she has trained is not too small, when viewed on average across the entire country, it is like pouring a load of silt into the river. The number is really pitiful.

She had no choice but to make do with those former Qi officials with no criminal history. (End of chapter)
