It is the first time for Man Bao to go to court at such a young age, and it is not the first time for Xiao Yuanzheng to go to court. Answer the ministers' words with An Chen's heart.
But this is the second time for him to hold such a big court meeting. The first time was when the emperor ascended the throne. At that time, regardless of whether he was an imperial doctor or not, he had to stand below to salute.
Man Bao was walking with her head upright, but when she arrived at the entrance of the main hall, she saw Xiao Yuan lowering her head slightly, she thought for a while, and then walked in with her head lowered.
Both of them carried things in their arms, and after entering the hall, they put the things at their feet first, and then saluted the emperor.
The emperor waved his hand, dismissing their ceremony, and asked, "Zhou Man, are you impeaching Wang Ji, Liang Fei and the others for a vegetarian meal?"
Man Bao immediately answered "Yes."
The emperor pointed to Wang Ji who was not far away from her and said, "But Wang Ji made an argument, so you can answer him."
Wang Ji's question is not difficult to answer. She and Old Doctor Lu have consulted medical skills, and have also studied with Doctor Ji and Mrs. Fan. Later, she learned a lot from Doctor Ding and Shopkeeper Zheng. I can learn skills from the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital.
She knows how difficult it is to study medicine alone.
The reason why she went so smoothly was because she had Keke, and behind Keke was Baikeguan and Teacher Mo.
Teacher Mo taught her many things, and the books in the encyclopedia can be bought as long as she has points. It is because of those books, the things Teacher Mo taught her, and the various prescriptions she found for her that she can get from Other doctors exchanged for medical skills.
So what she took was not the way that ordinary doctors would take.
But it doesn't mean that she doesn't know how difficult it is for an ordinary doctor to learn.
The most typical one is her fifth sister-in-law’s grandfather, Dr. Lu. He had been a drug boy for nearly twenty years before he could learn a few prescriptions and some basic medical theories from his master, and it took another seven or eight years to accumulate some After experience, he returned to the village and became a doctor himself.
Most of the medicines he used were collected in the mountains by himself, and then processed by himself.
Sister-in-law Wu told Man Bao that when she was a child, her grandfather was very careful when processing medicinal materials, because the medicinal materials were not processed well and the toxicity would not go away.
But no matter how careful he is, he can cure people well.
Basically, Old Doctor Lu can only cure a few diseases. For more serious diseases, he can only send people to the county seat, wait for the doctor in the county seat to prescribe the medicine, and next time he will prescribe the medicine according to that prescription, or increase or decrease it. Some.
In the past, Man Bao thought that old doctor Lu was very powerful, but after seeing the prescriptions prescribed by Doctor Ji, Doctor Ding and others, she knew that there are actually many ways to treat a disease, and the prescription can be prescribed better .
Old doctor Lu is like this, Zheng Shao is a side branch of Zheng's family, and the situation is not much better. He is like a son of heaven, all thanks to hard work, but that's the case, he can only come to her side as a drug boy when he is sixteen or seventeen.
According to the rules, he has to be a drug boy by his side for at least ten years before she watches and picks out some prescriptions and diseases to teach him. After he learns it, he has to stay and work in Jishitang for several years before he can be released from the teacher. At that time, it is up to him to decide whether to set up his own family or continue to stay in Jishitang.
But no matter what it is, with his talent, it is impossible to be very powerful, because no healer is willing to waste too much time on him.
There will be more talented people besides him, as well as their own nephews who need to be cultivated. Why do they spend so much effort for an ordinary drug boy
Wang Ji used ordinary apprentices to compare the students of the imperial medical department, which was a preposterous statement.
Anyway, everyone is standing in the court hall. She ate the breakfast made by her sister-in-law in the morning, and she also ate a lot of snacks just now.
So Man Bao talked from the old doctor Lu to Zheng Shao, and took the two of them as examples to tell the emperor and ministers, the time it takes for apprentices to learn and what they can learn.
She said: "One life is only a mere few decades. How long can a person live? According to the household department, it is only 52 years, but they need about 30 years to learn, and the income is only It's just superficial medical knowledge, dare to ask Mr. Wang, is there anything in this world that is more precious than time?"
"As for the teaching at the Imperial Medical Office, it starts teaching "Mai Jue", "Materia Medica", "Ming Tang" and "Su Wen" as soon as students enter school. The medicinal materials they need to recognize are bought by the Imperial Medical Office. Herbal medicines and materials are also provided by our Imperial Medical Office, they don’t need to please the master or master, and they don’t need to observe carefully to learn the knowledge that ordinary apprentices need to spend ten years or even fifteen years later.”
"Some people can't even learn things in their entire lives, and the imperial medical office will teach them." Man Bao glanced at Wang Ji, and said, "Why do people in the world value scholars and respect families? It's because you have a lot of money. Or is it because you have a lot of land? Or is it because you are so proud of the books that you dare not discard even in troubled times and wars?"
Xiao Yuanzheng felt something was wrong, and coughed lightly twice, but Manbao was concentrating on him, so he didn't pay attention to him, so he didn't pay attention, and said directly: "If Mr. Wang still doesn't understand, just think about how the children of the aristocratic family are. Reading, how do poor families study, and how common people study, so you can understand how valuable the knowledge taught to them by the Imperial Medical Office is."
Everyone understood in an instant that the Imperial Medical Office is equivalent to the Imperial College, and the people it admits, whether they are "children from aristocratic families", "children from poor families" or "common people" who don't know anything, they all teach in the same way, and they will all be treated in the same way. The skill was taught to them.
And looking at the recruitment of the Imperial Medical Office this time, most of the students recruited are from "poor families" and "common families". Many of them have never been in contact with medicine before, and some of them don't even know the words.
If this happened in the gentry, these officials would naturally not allow it, but this is in the Xinglin world. In the eyes of those doctors, they are probably "poor families", so they let go of the restrictions, which is beneficial It is them.
Wang Ji was not stupid, so of course he understood. Zhou Man was telling him that the most valuable thing in the imperial medical office was the imperial doctors who taught, and it was the knowledge in their minds.
But if he understands it, it doesn't mean he wants to respond to Zhou Man, then he will lose, and admit that he is a vegetarian
So he said with a stern face: "I joined the Imperial Medical Office to make money. Medicine is rare. Can your Imperial Medical Office set a high price for making money?"
Man Bao glanced at him, dug out a book from the materials on the ground and said, "Okay, since you want to talk about the cost, then I'll discuss it with you."
