"Doctors also need to have the ability to protect themselves. What they should do if they know they can't do anything is not benevolent, but not smart." Meteor is not advisable."
"Then why is the topic that Xiao Yuan is working on?"
"That's also two questions. If you don't see oil and water in your belly for a long time, you can't eat big fish and meat at once. It will hurt your stomach. It's understandable for people who don't know to choose meat. If people who know choose meat, that's greed. It is not advisable to put greed above health and life."
Mingda seemed to understand, and asked, "So, the same answer is meat-eating, some will be admitted, and some won't?"
Man Bao said: "It depends on the situation. If there are people who answer better than them, the number of admissions is already enough and naturally no more will be admitted. If there are not enough, then the short ones will choose the taller ones."
Because it was the first batch of enrollment, there were a lot of people who came for reference. There were young doctors who had studied medicine for several years, there were also drug boys who knew some medical knowledge, and even Dr. You Fang came with his nephew at home.
But there are more people who can read some words in the capital and its vicinity, and those who can't read, but just heard that the Imperial Medical Office will not say anything about learning arts, but also provide food and housing, and come to take the exam if they can be officials in the future. .
Mingda asked: "Then are you recruiting enough people now?"
Man Bao shook his head, "Except for massage and cursing, there are still a few people missing in other classes. I really can't pick out the right ones. Xiaoyuan is saying that it is better to lack than to overuse. After all, in the future, they will be placed in various medical offices to see patients. Rather lack than excess."
Mingda nodded.
The number of places in the Imperial Medical Office was not full, so someone asked the Empress to ask if they could let their distant nieces and the like go in to study for a while, but they were not counted in the number of places in the Imperial Medical Office.
To say that she is a distant niece is just a rhetoric, most of it is to give a surname to the eldest maid in the family, and she will be regarded as a distant niece after she is released from citizenship.
The emperor only paid money to the Imperial Medical Office, and seldom cared about these things recently. Hearing this, he didn't think much about it, and said with a smile: "Aiqing's family still lacks a doctor?"
There is no shortage of doctors, but there is a shortage of female doctors.
Although he didn't quite understand why the wife and daughter at home had to let him raise a female doctor, but if the wife made a fuss every now and then, let's talk to the emperor.
The emperor didn't take it very seriously, and after making fun of it, he said: "This matter is handled by the empress and the crown prince. Instead of begging me, you should beg the empress."
When the courtiers heard this, they were happy and relaxed, so they let their wives go into the palace to find the queen.
They are all ordered by imperial edicts, and they are all qualified to enter the palace.
So within two days, the queen had no choice but to summon Man Bao in private, "How many places are left in the Imperial Medical Office?"
Man Bao said: "There are still two people missing in the physical therapy department, and one person is missing in acupuncture, children, and sores."
The queen nodded slightly, and said: "The wives of several families begged me to come to me, and wanted to send their distant nieces to study in the imperial medical office."
Man Bao knew what was going on as soon as he heard it, he frowned and said nothing.
The queen asked with a smile, "Why, you don't want to?"
Seeing that Man Bao still didn't speak, the queen asked with a smile, "I've heard people say that some people seem to have approached you before, but you refused? Why, do you have any objections to these aristocratic families and powerful wives?"
Man Bao shook his head, "I have no problem with them, and I can understand them, but ma'am, as we said before, the Imperial Medical Office is for the training and delivery of doctors for the local medical offices, and the medical offices are for the people all over the world. "
The queen nodded and said with a smile: "That's right, it's still the case now, isn't it because you haven't recruited enough staff?"
"Mother, if we agree to send people to the Imperial Medical Office this year without being fully recruited, will the Imperial Medical Office be even more dissatisfied next year? Year after year, we can recruit fewer and fewer students. If you don’t come a few, the rest of the places will be given to them?”
The queen listened, and the smile on her face slowly disappeared.
Aunt Shang looked at Zhou Man in surprise.
Man Bao said: "People are like this. As long as they have interests, they will find a way to make things develop in their own favorable direction. Now we look at a trivial matter that is insignificant, but it may cause future embarrassment. The bane of collapse."
She said with a serious face: "So since the rules have been set at the beginning, they cannot be changed. It is agreed that there will be 300 places every year, and if they are not satisfied, they will be dissatisfied. All must be assigned to the medical department."
After pondering for a while, the queen asked, "Will this medical office be able to put down so many people in the future?"
Man Bao said seriously: "When you can't let it go, there are naturally ways to let it go. It doesn't matter if the imperial court makes a decree, or the government offices in various places coordinate, and let these doctors who have learned medical skills go to their own lives. But now I Until we can see the abundance of doctors."
The queen raised her forehead and said: "It's right to follow the rules, but I can't save face. Alas, I used to be soft before, but now I refuse people..."
Man Bao saw that the queen was sad, and she couldn't bear to feel sad too. After thinking for a while, she said: "Your Majesty's 300 places, whether they are full or not, can't be given to them. Give ten places and go with them."
The queen raised her eyebrows, "You mean, set up ten quotas for them?"
Man Bao nodded, "Yes, let them pay for it, our hospital taught them to do it."
Thinking that the emperor's private treasury is almost full now, and the Ministry of Households has to delay and delay every time it pays money, Xiao Yuanzheng and Yang Xuexiong want you to come and fight with each other every time, and she is caught in the middle Very difficult.
Especially recently, Xiao Yuanzheng also likes asking her to send messages to Senior Brother Yang, which makes it even more difficult for her.
"It just so happens that the Imperial Medical Office is short of money to buy some teaching materials. Later, Xiao Yuan and I are negotiating a price, so you can ask them to send people here. For these ten places, we will let them be the same as other students. Go to class together, learn the same skills, and after you finish your studies, let them come and go without stopping them."
After a pause, Man Bao rolled his eyes again, "You don't even need to take an exam, as long as you send it to us, we will teach it, but whether you can learn it or not depends on the talent of each person. Ten places are given to them every year, and there will be no more."
The queen was stunned for a moment, nodded after a while and said: "This method is not bad, but how to determine the quota?"
Man Bao smiled and narrowed his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, you can decide for yourself."
After thinking about it, she said embarrassingly: "My lady, I don't know if people from the Li family in Yongzhou have looked for you. If they did, or would you reserve a spot for their family?"
Queen: ...
Aunt Shang: ...
The queen couldn't help laughing out loud, and asked: "Do you want to go back and discuss it with Xiao Yuanzheng first?"
Man Bao nodded after thinking about it. Although she was very confident that she could persuade Xiao Yuanzheng, it was better to go back and discuss it, and the price had to be determined.
