Doctors in the late Ming Dynasty

Zhao Taiding nodded cautiously and said: "Jiangnan, sooner or later I have to go there!"

During Zhang Jiebin's introduction, dozens of people came out of the dormitory one after another, all attracted by Tang Xianzu's roar.

Especially Chen Shigong and others, who were all out in force, were the only ones who knew that Zhang Jiebin was the instigator. When they met with him, they were still chatting with each other, and their eyes were quite strange.

Zhang Jiebin also noticed the difference in their gazes, and knew that he was playing a big trick this time. He didn't even think about it, so he started joking, and Tang Xianzu reacted so loudly.

Zhang Jiebin smiled at them and said quickly: "Dear classmates, I have gone home first and will come back to school tomorrow."

After saying that, they ran out. Chen Shigong and the others couldn't help it. Before they could officially move in, they suddenly lost two roommates.

"Tan Dasima originally wanted to come to see our entrance exam, but he didn't want to get sick suddenly, and I don't know what's going on now." Chen Shigong said worriedly.

"Mr. Xu personally went to the hospital and heard that his condition has improved, but he can no longer work hard."

Yan Pingzhi came over at some point and said.

When everyone heard this, they hurriedly bowed and said, "I've met Senior Brother Yan!"

"Why are you being admitted to the hospital today? Are you still not used to it?" Yan Pingzhi said with a smile.

"Hello, Senior Brother Yan, I am Chen Shigong, courtesy name Yuren, from Donghai. Senior Brother, can you tell us about Taiyuan Hospital?"

Chen Shigong cupped his fists in greeting, introduced himself first, and then asked about the hospital.

Yan Pingzhi nodded, and everyone hurriedly came closer. He waved his hand and said, "This is not the place to talk. It would be too disturbing. You might as well follow me to the South Langfang."

The dormitory where Chen Shigong and the others lived was originally a group house for servants. During the expansion of enrollment, it was moved out to accommodate medical students. The Taiyuan Hospital originally had dedicated dormitories for doctors and doctors, but the standard was for 140 people. Now they all live there.

It’s full of people.

The gate of Taiyuan Hospital opens to the west, facing the backyard of the Ministry of Rites, separated by a wall from Qintian Prison to the north, and to the south of Dongjiangmi Lane West Street. To the south of Dongjiangmi Lane are Jinmao Hutong, Nanhuitong Pavilion, Shuchang Pavilion, and Prince's Mansion.
To the northeast are the Luan Jia Ku and the Hanlin Academy. To the north of the Ministry of Rites are the Ministry of Husbandry, the Ministry of Officials, and the Zongren Mansion. To the north of the Qin Tian Jian are the Honglu Temple, the Ministry of Industry, and the Ministry of War. Further north are the Beiyuhe Bridge and Zuo Chang'an Gate.
To the west of the Ministry of Rites and Hubu is Qipan Street, and this area is where the famous Tiananmen Square is located.

The group room where Chen Shigong is located is on the right side of the second door. The door opens to the east, and to the southwest is the clerk's office, which is separated from Dongjiangmi Lane by a wall. To the southeast is the department room, which was originally used for office and teaching of the 11th department, but was gradually reduced to teaching use.

You can also hear the sound of reading aloud in Dongjiangmi Lane.

The Central Government Office usually prohibits business, and the Ming Dynasty decrees that vendors are not allowed to do business within 100 meters of the Government Office. Of course, except for the opening days of the Huitong Museum. This is also the reason why there are so many vendors in Qipan Street, because the Daming Gate can only be opened a few times a year, and it is just a short distance away.

The East and West Central Government Offices are a hundred meters away, which gives vendors opportunities.

As everyone passed by the department, Yan Pingzhi said: "This is the department. We call it a school in private, and some people call it a study room. There may be seniors studying in the room, so please don't make any noise."

After saying that, everyone fell silent and just looked at the future study place curiously. Along the way, they also passed several medicinal gardens, and the air was filled with the fragrance of medicinal herbs.

Yan Pingzhi led everyone to continue walking forward, and said to the front left: "That's the South Hall, also called the Royal Medical Room. Sometimes they come to the school to give lectures. This is the South Gallery in front, and what you see now is the Service Hall. In the middle

It’s the Enliang Hall, and behind it is the Doctors Hall.”

There are three gates in the South Gallery, all facing north, corresponding to three halls from west to east.

"I have been at Taiyuan Hospital for more than ten years, and I am considered the most qualified doctor. We will teach you many of your basic courses."

Yan Pingzhi came to the door of the doctor's hall and said to everyone.

When everyone heard this, their eyes suddenly lit up. They all shouted: "Brother, please take good care of me!"

"For now, let's get to know each other first, and then we'll take you to visit the entire Taiyuan Hospital tomorrow," Yan Pingzhi said.

Taiyuan Hospital is a large courtyard that is long and narrow from east to west. Its structure is similar to that of a quadrangle, but it is larger and more imposing. It is the largest institution among the central government agencies. Of course, it is not that Taiyuan Hospital is more important than other departments. It is just because Taiyuan Hospital needs to grow medicine.
"In addition to Taiyuan Hospital, we also have more than ten offices inside and outside the palace, imperial pharmacy, out-of-service rooms, offices, and more than ten medicine gardens. Well, this is just Beitai Hospital, there is also Nantai Hospital, and Zhongdu Tai Hospital

Hospital."

As Yan Pingzhi slowly introduced, everyone was shocked.

Yan Pingzhi continued: "These are only those directly under our jurisdiction, and there are even more under other jurisdictions. There are four to five thousand medical offices, royal palaces, and Huimin Pharmacies in all prefectures and counties in the world, and they have jurisdiction over tens of thousands of medical and pharmacy students.

Of course, compared with the health of millions of people around the world, we still have a long way to go."

Today at the Doctors' Hall, everyone was just shocked. I thought Tai Hospital was just a medical school, but now I know that it is also the direct leader of Tianxia Medicine, shouldering the mission of health for people all over the world.

Yan Pingzhi said: "You may not know that not all medical officers and doctors are in Taiyuan Hospital. When you have completed your studies, you will also go on missions to armies, borders, and prefectures and counties to diagnose and treat local doctors. Young Master

It may take several months or even several years, which is normal."

"Then senior brother is also away all year round?" Chen Shigong asked thoughtfully.

A doctor inside said: "Senior Brother Yan came back last year and has been practicing for nine years. Now he is just waiting for a vacancy to replace the official."

When everyone heard this, they were not much touched. After all, the officials were only minor officials.

When the man saw this, he shook his head with a smile and explained to everyone.

"Our hospital has only ten officials, whether it has thirteen departments before or eleven departments now. It is the only official position after the envoy, chancellor and imperial doctor. It is also the only official position. The official position of doctors is,

It seems like a step away, but ordinary people may not be able to cross it in their lifetime. If you cross it, you will be an official, if you cannot cross it, you will be a citizen."

Yan Pingzhi stopped him and said, "Okay, this is a matter of course."

The man said: "Why is there no trace? Master Xu has already submitted his resignation. There will definitely be an official who will take charge of it by then. Won't your position be available?"

Yan Pingzhi shook his head: "Don't forget to recommend a good doctor in the autumn. Even Master Li is coming back, how can I be qualified to take over?"

When the man heard this, he fell silent.

Chen Shigong said: "Aren't the official medical professions in the world also official positions?"

Zhao Taiding also said: "The official medical department of the government also starts from the ninth grade official. What's more, there are 150 or 60 government officials in the world. Why should we focus on the quota of these ten officials?"

Yan Pingzhi smiled bitterly and said: "Because the official is a Beijing official, only when you become an official can you change the official position."

"Transfer?" Chen Shigong said in surprise, not understanding what it meant.
