Warriors of the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 176 Dongting Medical College

"Unexpectedly, I haven't been here for a while. Xingyue Town has become Xingyue City. The speed of development is really staggering!" After sitting down, Zhang Zhongjing sighed.

With the prefect present, Cheng Huang did not sit on the chair of the city lord, but took the first seat on the other side.

"Hehe!" Cheng Huang complimented with a smile on his face: "This is at least half of the credit of the prefect! In the future, please take care of the prefect."

Zhang Zhongjing stroked his sparse beard, "What does General Cheng say, as long as there is something that the general can use in the future, just send someone to the Changsha prefect's mansion to tell me."

As he spoke, Zhang Zhongjing changed his style of painting: "General, this time you established this medical school, which is really a feat for the benefit of the people! For a long time, although we doctors save lives and heal the wounded, and do things that benefit the people, our status is very low. Since During Emperor Wu’s reign, Grand Master Dong Zhongshu proposed to depose all schools of thought and respected Confucianism alone, and our family of doctors declined, and many children from aristocratic families were unwilling to practice medicine. Hey!”

Cheng Huang also understood what Zhang Zhongjing said. At that time, medicine was not yet developed, and there were no medicines for many diseases.The common people would rather believe in superstition, and Fu Shui would not believe in doctors when treating diseases. Therefore, even if the medical skills are as good as Hua Tuo's, they are only people at the bottom of society.

Doctors, in those days, were no different from carpenters or masons.

"Yes!" Cheng Huang also said, "In the world, only doctors deserve the most respect, but they are treated unfairly. But the prefect can rest assured that in my territory, the profession of doctors will definitely be respected. To tell you the truth, prefect , I am preparing to form a military medical team to treat soldiers injured in the battle. In addition, we will also provide subsidies to students who graduate from our medical school."

"Hehe, that's very good," Zhang Zhongjing said with a smile.

……

The two chatted about medicine for a long time, and Cheng Huang received the eunuch and his party at Jiasheng Restaurant, and returned to the bedroom to rest very late.

Drowsiness hit, Cheng Huang soon fell asleep.

The next day, Cheng Huang Zaozao and Zhang Zhongjing arrived at Nujiao Island by boat.

The former Lingyun Village has been modified into an academy shape, but the defense facilities have not been moved, and Xingyue City has also sent troops to garrison it.

On the square of the college, many colleges who came to study medicine have already gathered.

Some of these colleges are descendants of aristocratic families from various counties in Changsha, and more are ordinary people, with a number of about 1000.

More than 200 people in Xingyue City also signed up to study medicine.

The sun is gradually rising, and the warm sunlight shines on the square.

Cheng Huang and Zhang Zhongjing led dozens of guards onto the podium, and Hua Tuo immediately stood up to greet them on the podium.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, several people took their seats on the podium.

The bells and drums are as famous, and the ceremony and music for the opening of the hospital are played.

Cheng Huang got up, stepped forward, and looked down at the students who were standing in disorder.

When the students of Xingyue City saw that Cheng Huang was about to speak, they burst into cheers immediately, while the students from other counties, although they had heard of Cheng Huang in Dongting, were not very impressed.

Regarding these, Cheng Huang was noncommittal.

With a wave of his hand, he stopped the cheers from the audience, and said loudly: "Everyone, welcome to our Xingyue medical students to study. I will announce that Xingyue City Medical College is officially open."

As soon as Cheng Huang finished speaking, the drum beat again, and the audience applauded, even Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo on the stage applauded.

Cheng Huang stopped cheering again, and continued: "Students, I believe that you all report your love for medicine and come here with the mentality of helping the world and saving people. Our medical profession is the most noble profession in the world. The so-called saving people One life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Doctors are benevolent. When we study medicine, we must first learn medical ethics and treat every patient as our own relatives. If you regard medicine as a way to make money, then you are not welcome in our medical school. "

"Someone wants to say, we don't study medicine for money, why? If you save someone's life, their loved ones will be very grateful to you, and your reputation will rise. Our dean Hua Tuo, who goes no matter where he goes. people respect."

"Okay, actually I want to announce one thing. After you graduate from our Xingyue City Medical School, you will receive a subsidy from Xingyue City every year. Although it is not much, it is enough for you to live comfortably. In addition, those whose families are in difficulty, Tuition is free, and Xingyue City also provides a certain amount of living allowances. Well, that's all, I hope everyone can learn from Mr. Hua Tuo's skills and carry forward Huaxia Medicine."

After Cheng Huang finished speaking, the audience applauded thunderously, and the children of the aristocratic family who originally disapproved of Cheng Huang also changed their views.

The tuition fee is free, and there will be subsidies in the future. This is completely the selfless dedication of Xingyue City!Zhang Zhongjing and Hua Tuo on the stage also gave Cheng Huang a thumbs up.

After speaking, Cheng Huang sat down again, and Zhang Zhongjing said: "If the Han court can treat our doctors like General Cheng, why worry about the lack of medical skills."

Cheng Huang said politely: "It is Huang's long-cherished wish to contribute a little to Huaxia Medicine."

Then, the prefect Zhang Zhongjing stepped forward to speak.

The name of Zhang Taishou has already been heard by the students, and naturally the cheers are loud.The opening ceremony of a promising prefect is the greatest affirmation of the medical career.

After Zhang Zhongjing finished speaking, Hua Tuo also stepped forward, explaining the rules and precautions for my admission, etc...

Amid the cheers, the opening ceremony of Xingyue City Medical College officially came to an end.

Cheng Huang, Zhang Zhongjing, and Hua Tuo came to the rest area of ​​the college and sat down.

The two are of course full of praise for Cheng Huang's strong support for the cause of medicine, and are very grateful.Having found his life goal, Hua Tuo seemed to be rejuvenated, and his whole body became energetic.

After sitting down, Cheng Huang said: "Doctor Hua, Governor Zhang, I have an idea, I believe you two will be interested."

"Oh!" The two quickly looked at Cheng Huang, expecting Cheng Huang's next words.

Cheng Huang said quietly: "In order to promote Chinese medicine, I want the two genius doctors to write down their experience, and then let our academy in Xingyue Town compile it into a book and distribute it widely. In this way, it will be like the Six Classics. , Many people can get in touch with medicine, and the disciples of our college can also learn from books, wouldn't it be the best of both worlds."

After hearing Cheng Huang's words, the two praised each other again and again.

Zhang Zhongjing said: "Over the years, I have gained a lot of experience in treating typhoid fever, so I will write an article "Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases"! In addition, I will send someone to sort out the ancient medical classics and send them to Xingyuecheng Academy, so that the academy can do it for you." Release, okay?"

"Okay," Cheng Huang got up and bowed to Zhang Zhongjing, "I will represent the common people in the world first, thank you, Lord Prefect."

Startled, Zhang Zhongjing quickly supported Cheng Huang.

Hua Tuo also expressed his willingness to record what he has learned all his life, organize and publish it, and make a contribution to Huaxia Medicine.

The three chatted happily, and Cheng Huang and Zhang Zhongjing didn't get up to leave until the sun was setting in the west.
