Guide to traveling through the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 554 0549 [Kaifeng Medical College]

The father and son spoke Mandarin throughout the whole process, and the attendants were relatively far away, so they were not afraid of being heard speaking shocking words.

A eunuch stood in the corridor for a long time. Seeing from a distance that they seemed to have finished chatting, he couldn't help but remind him loudly: "Guan family, Yang Hanlin wants to see you!"

"Just invite him over." Zhu Guoxiang said.

Ju Ming picked up the cotton on the ground and played with it. After a while, Yang Jie, a Hanlin scholar and the director of Tai Hospital, was brought over.

Yang Jie bowed and said, "I pay homage to the official family and His Highness the Crown Prince."

Zhu Guoxiang had already asked the eunuch to bring a bench and said with a smile: "My dear, please sit down."

Yang Jie thanked En and sat down. As soon as his butt touched the bench, he stood up again and said: "All the human anatomy diagrams have been drawn, and the renovation of Yichun Garden has also been completed."

A thick stack of drawings was presented. After reading it, Zhu Guoxiang was very satisfied. He nodded and said: "Ai Qing is interested, I should give you colorful coins!"

During the reign of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, Yang Jie had already drawn human anatomy diagrams, but he did not draw them based on the actual human body.

At first, Li Yixing, the magistrate of Sizhou, took advantage of the opportunity of executing prisoners and asked doctors and painters to dissect the chest and abdomen and draw anatomical diagrams of adult internal organs.

These anatomical drawings did not spread and gradually fell into storage.

It happened that Zhang Lei, one of the four scholars of the Su family, was serving as the chief bookkeeper of Linhuai in Sizhou at that time, so he had someone copy it and put it at home.

And Yang Jie was Zhang Lei's nephew. He made reference to classical medical books and re-drew the drawings with detailed text explanations.

Zhu Guoxiang scanned it once and handed it to his son. Zhu Ming could only watch the fun as a layman.

Thanks to Ju Ming's killing spree, killing two every now and then, Yang Jie had enough corpses for autopsy.

Now not only has the previous internal organ diagram been revised, but blood vessel diagrams and bone diagrams have also been added.

Yang Jie put away the gifted coins and said: "The medical school is about to be opened, but it doesn't have a name yet. I kindly ask the officials to give it a name and an inscription."

There was no desk here, so Zhu Guoxiang stood up and walked to the nearby side hall.

The eunuch brought a pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and Zhu Guoxiang took up the pen and wrote the words "Kaifeng Medical College".

Ju Ming curled his lips and smiled, secretly complaining about his father's incompetence in naming.

The medical school is located in Yichun Garden in the eastern suburbs. It was originally Zhao Tingmei's private garden, but was later taken over by the royal family and became a royal garden.

Song Renzong loved his daughter Princess Yan so much that he not only built a princess mansion in the city that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, but also awarded Yichun Garden outside the city to his consort Li Wei. After the two couples broke up, Yichunyuan took back the royal family, and the emperor no longer went there to relax. It was gradually abandoned and turned into one of the treasury warehouses (Fuguocang).

Before Ju Ming besieged the city, Zhao Huan moved all the supplies in Fuguo's warehouse into the city, and the Jin soldiers demolished some houses for firewood.

After half a year of renovation, the few remaining buildings have been restored and are now officially the site of the medical school.

After Yang Jie asked Zhu Guoxiang for instructions, he formulated a system for the medical school.

The master-apprentice system was fully implemented, and famous doctors from various places were recruited to teach. Students follow famous doctors and not only learn theoretical knowledge, but also accumulate clinical experience through consultations with teachers.

In order to ensure the quality of teaching, a teacher can teach up to five students at the same time, and only new students can be taught after they graduate.

These famous doctors were all awarded Hanlin titles, and the highest honorary position was Hanlin bachelor's degree.

After the students graduate, they will be directly assigned to local prefectures and counties to restore and rebuild medical schools there.

Zhu Guoxiang is not in a hurry. His plan is to complete the medical education system across the country in twenty years.

"Get the microscope!" Zhu Guoxiang ordered.

Ju Ming didn't have any surprised reaction, because he had seen it before, and Zhu Guoxiang had already built several microscopes.

The emperor maintained more than twenty mirror masters, who were responsible for polishing lenses with crystal every day.

Not very well ground, used to make military binoculars.

It is ground extremely finely and is used to make microscopes and astronomical telescopes.

Only a handful of hand-polished crystal microscope slides can clearly see plant cells.

Zhu Guoxiang's original intention was of course to engage in agricultural research, such as soaking seeds with colchicine to induce polyploid mutation, which could be observed with a microscope.

Now, they are giving it to medical schools and letting them conduct medical research.

Zhu Guoxiang personally demonstrated the operation, gave up his seat and said, "My dear, come and take a look."

Yang Jie sat down where the emperor had just sat, still a little scared, but soon became distracted, because a novel microscopic world was presented before his eyes.

After observing for a while, Yang Jie looked up at the emperor, his cloudy eyes shining brightly: "Guan, are these the things in the water droplets?"

Zhu Guoxiang smiled and nodded: "Water in the ditch in the palace."

Yang Jie was shocked and said: "There are living things in a drop of water!"

Ju Ming smiled and said: "You doctors should be careful about insects. For example, in the wild southwest, there are many murderous miasmas, but drinking boiled water all year round can effectively prevent miasma. Is the pathogen of miasma in the water? Or, there are other Some diseases are also caused by drinking dirty water.”

Yang Jie said seriously: "This statement is reasonable. Doctors should take a closer look at it."

Zhu Guoxiang said: "This thing is given to the medical school, and the method of making it is also taught to you. If you are interested and have the financial resources, you can make it yourself for private use."

"Thank you for the gift, Your Majesty!" Yang Jie was overjoyed.

The emperor Zhu Guoxiang's work was really boring. He spent nearly ten hours every day dealing with official duties and meeting with ministers.

In other words, during holidays, you still have your own time.

The next day was the holiday again, and Zhu Guoxiang went to the western suburbs to inspect his vegetable garden.

In the old Song Dynasty, the zoning of cash crops outside Tokyo remained unchanged. Vegetables and flowers were still widely grown in the western suburbs. Zhu Guoxiang designated a large area of ​​unowned land as his experimental field.

The royal garden Jinmingchi has been open to the public for an extended period of time, but the royal family does not come here to play much.

Qionglinyuan, south of Jinmingchi, became the office of the Agriculture Department.

The flowers, plants and trees in Qionglin Garden have all become the experimental subjects of the agricultural officials. It was also close to the experimental field in the western suburbs, and they could reach it within a few steps.

"The officials are coming, the officials are coming!"

Zhao Huan was squatting in the eggplant field, listening to the teacher explain novel knowledge.

The research group he joined was to cultivate polyploid eggplant varieties. The teacher threw a book to him, which contained basic theoretical knowledge. Zhao Huan read it with great interest. This book allowed him to escape from reality and troubles.

When you encounter something you don’t understand, you go ask the teacher for help. The teacher doesn’t hide it and explains it to him in great detail.

"Sir, the official is here, why don't we go pick him up?" Zhao Huan asked.

The teacher was not very old, only about thirty years old, and said in a calm tone: "Why are you so anxious? This land is far away, and it will take at least two or three quarters of an hour for the officials to come over for inspection. Remember, I am trying to persuade you. There is no point in flattering the agricultural minister. If you want to please the officials, you must be honest and produce results. If we can come up with an improved eggplant variety and reach a point where it can be promoted, the officials will certainly not hesitate to reward and praise us."

"yes!"

Zhao Huan liked this place very much because no one discriminated against him. At most, they were curious about his identity as the former emperor.

The place where he lived before was very difficult. The resettled refugees not only often spoke harshly to him, but sometimes even spat on him.

Zhao Huan looked back from time to time, and finally he could see the shadow in the distance. Most of the people surrounding him were the emperor.

I saw the emperor changed several pieces of land, and when he was about to come to their side, he suddenly changed direction and walked east. He probably wouldn't come here today.

Zhao Huan was a little disappointed, but also a little lucky. He didn't know how to face the new emperor.

It would be a lie to say that there is no resentment in his heart, but it is just resentment. Zhao Huan really doesn't miss the old life that much.

After being a prince for more than ten years, he lived in fear and fear every day. Sometimes he dreamed that Zhao Kai led troops to kill him.

Then he was forced to put on a yellow robe. The emperor's throne was not even hot when the golden soldiers and rebels were already outside the city. Not only are there enemies outside the city, but the ministers under him are also trouble-free. Zhao Huan can often see clearly but can do nothing.

What prince? What emperor? He hasn't been safe for a day!

It's not as good as now, busy during the day, sleeping at night, and living an extremely fulfilling life.

Random thoughts were flying in my mind, and suddenly someone came and said: "I urge the Agriculture Department to add Shandong and Huainan offices. The offices in these two offices are all from the seventh grade. Those with sufficient qualifications can sign up tomorrow. In addition, there are also transfers Twelve people will go there, mainly responsible for cotton planting issues, and ordinary agricultural advisors can also sign up to participate."

Zhao Huan suddenly had an idea. If he was transferred to Shandong or Huainan, would he be able to conceal his identity and not have to live in strange eyes?

Zhao Huan bit the bullet and asked, "Can I sign up?"

The man was stunned for a moment and replied, "You have to ask the officials for instructions."

After a while, the man came back and said: "The officials have agreed, but they cannot go to Huainan. They can only go to Shandong to grow cotton."

Do you really want to let yourself stay away from Kaifeng?

Zhao Huan felt incredible, he was the former emperor.

Zhu Guoxiang really didn't care about this. He wasn't afraid of Song Huizong's separatist rule in the southeast. Why was he afraid that Zhao Huan, a lonely man, would rebel?

Even if Zhao Huan and his family absconded, the Ming court would only post the arrest documents and would not organize manpower and spend money to find him.

After carefully listening to reports on various topics at the office center of the Agriculture Department in Qionglinyuan, an official from Honglu Temple came to report: "Your Majesty, the Gaochang Uighur envoy has arrived in Beijing."

"Follow the rules." Zhu Guoxiang said.

The territory of the Gaochang Uighurs is in Hami, Turpan, and Urumqi. Although they surrender to Xixia on the surface, they secretly have an eye-catching relationship with the Song Dynasty and treat the Song Dynasty as the "nephew and uncle's country".

Now that the Ming Dynasty had replaced the Song Dynasty and severely damaged the Xixia army, the Gaochang Uighurs immediately sent an envoy to meet him, hoping to follow the Old Testament and become the "nephew" of the new Ming Dynasty.

They came from the land of the Yellow-headed Uighurs, who were the ancestors of the Yugu people and were under the jurisdiction of the Longyou Protectorate of the Song Dynasty. But in essence it was a semi-independent state, and it was only nominally surrendered to the Song Dynasty. It was difficult for the Song Dynasty to find the Yellow-headed Uighurs to borrow troops.

This time the Gaochang Uighur envoys came to Beijing, and the Yellow-headed Uighurs also sent people to accompany them.

The treatment they received should be very good. After all, they were the first vassals to request the Ming Dynasty for canonization.
