Xiao Yuanzheng was very concerned about whether he could accept enough female students. Originally, the imperial medical office was full of men except Zhou Man, so naturally it would be better to teach male students.
The female students are not enough, so it is better to replace them all with male students. Originally, he thought that the ratio of 8:2 was the best.
But the queen spoke, and the prince indulged too. Even Mr. Yang helped Zhou Man with a few words, and he agreed to the ratio of 7:3.
The registration period was about to close, and he never expected that the palace would directly send more than seventy little maids for reference.
The female officer who sent them over smiled and said, "Your Majesty said that as long as they pass the examination of the Imperial Medical Office, they will be released and they will be members of the Imperial Medical Office from now on, so Xiaoyuan is just rest assured that the palace will not interfere."
Xiao Yuanzheng guessed that it was Zhou Man who did it, he could only forcefully accept it with a smile, and after accepting him, he turned around and ran to Zhou Man to settle the score.
Zhou Man didn't think he was wrong, "After all, it's the first year to recruit students, so what if the number of recruits is not enough?"
Xiao Yuan was shaking his lips and said: "Do you still think we haven't recruited enough people? Have you ever thought about how many imperial doctors there are in the Imperial Hospital? Everyone has to work in the Imperial Hospital and go to the Imperial Medical Office on weekdays. Classes, do you know how tired you are after so many classes?"
"This is not a year, there will be enrollment next year, and enrollment in the year after..."
Man Bao said: "If you don't have enough, you can recruit people. It's not what you said. The imperial doctors in the imperial hospital are too busy on weekdays, and there is no hope of advancing. Is it inevitable that they will intrigue? How good it is now, everyone is busy, You still get a double salary."
Although there is no job field for a doctor in the imperial medical office, there is a salary, which is not a lot.
Xiao Yuan was choked and asked, "When did I say that?"
"Why didn't you say that, when your majesty's high fever persisted, I heard you and Imperial Physician Liu whispering."
Xiao Yuanzheng: "... your ears are really good."
Man Bao: "I'm just sleeping on the wooden couch next to me, but I didn't sleep to death."
Xiao Yuan was waving his hands with a headache and said: "Okay, I will take the exam later, you are not allowed to release water for me."
Man Bao assured, "Don't worry, I won't let anyone who passes my invigilation pass the test. Since you want to study medicine, you must be suitable."
After all, the number of years is not short. If an unsuitable person is recruited, it will not only harm them, but also harm them too, right
The exam is divided into subjects, and there are many types. Those in the physical therapy department must be able to read and write, so they have a written test on the first day. Eyes are red, what do you think is wrong with him?" General knowledge tests like this.
Although it is a general knowledge test, there are still many people who can't answer it. Man Bao can't understand it, but Liu Taiyi takes it for granted, "We look simple because we have learned it, but some children, even two wooden When the sticks are placed together, the two don’t even know.”
Man Bao said: "But they can read."
Doctor Liu shook his head and smiled without speaking.
It is precisely because of this that Zhou Liru's grades in it are not bad. After all, she has also studied medical science for a long time, and basically recognizes all the herbs.
Of course, there are quite a few people who are as good as her and have basically cleared the level. Most of them are from the Xinglin Family, and they have been in contact with medicine before.
Man Bao corrected the test paper and found that Zhou Liru could be ranked within the top 30, but was outside the top 20. In front of her, there were two girls who were better than her.
This requires literacy and written tests, and those that do not need literacy and written tests are tested by the gentlemen one by one. Of course, each time five gentlemen sit on the top, one person enters, and the gentlemen take turns asking and answering questions, and then according to their answers Scoring, and finally taking a look at the scores before admission.
The imperial physicians were very down-to-earth, and asked the people who came in with some herbs that could be seen everywhere in the countryside, did they recognize what kind of grass it was, had they been used before, and how did they use it
Or ask, have you ever been sick before, have you seen a doctor, what kind of disease did you have, and do you remember how it was treated
Or, some doctors start directly and ask him what acupuncture point is called, whether there is pain, and what to do if it hurts.
Man Bao gave people a lot of puzzles, such as a cow's tail is on fire, what should you do
Not to mention the candidates, even the examiners didn't know what to do. While the students were out, they turned to Man Bao, "What's the answer to this question?"
Man Bao shook his head, "There is no answer, I just asked, wondering what they would do."
Xiao Yuanzheng and others: ...
In addition, what imperial doctors like to ask most is arithmetic questions, such as Chuanqiong 1228 Wen, if a patient needs to buy Chuanqiong 82, how much will it cost in total
Questions like these almost drove the literate and illiterate candidates crazy.
The exam lasted a total of five days. There was no way. There were really many candidates who could not read and could only take the face-to-face exam instead of the paper-based exam.
Seeing them one by one is naturally slower.
Basically, those with a medical background are all coming for physical therapy, acupuncture, and sores. The competition is really fierce. As for other subjects, most of them have zero foundation. selected.
For example, massage requires relatively strong hands. In the last class of 20 people, only two girls were selected.
To the surprise of Xiao Yuanzheng and others, most of the little maids who came out of the palace took the acupuncture exam. It was Man Bao who persuaded them that acupuncture science could not select so many people, so they dispersed to choose other subjects. That's why there's no cannibalism.
For five days in a row, Man Bao was almost exhausted and paralyzed, and talked too much. After returning home, he took out some dried chrysanthemums and soaked them in water to drink.
Mingda and Changyu secretly ran to the East Palace to play with her, and sat cross-legged on her bed to talk to her, "I heard from the little palace maid who returned to the palace that you asked many people, if you see a person falling into the water Here, what are you going to do? As a result, many people answered that they would not be saved, you were not hired, and they answered that they jumped into the water to save them, but you were not hired, how did you choose people?"
Man Bao drank the chrysanthemum water from the teacup and said, "This is not just one question, but many questions. I also asked them if they know how to use water, and if they have ever been in the water. Wouldn't it be more troublesome to jump down to save people if they don't know how to use water?" ? A life was added in vain.”
"If you don't want to save someone, you can call someone. Look around for a stick. You can try to put a stick on someone and pull them up."
Changyu was puzzled, "What do these questions have to do with being a doctor? I feel that the questions you ask are all messy. I heard that Xiao Yuanzheng also asked people, if you don't eat for three days, put a pot of meat and a pot of vegetables in the In front of you, do you choose to eat meat or vegetables."
Man Bao said: "Doctors must have a benevolent heart, turn around and leave. It is not advisable to not save."
