The Ming Dynasty started with caution

Zhu Houzhao was watching outside and heard someone calling him. Unexpectedly, when he looked back, his expression changed drastically.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty summons you."

He strode into the palace and bowed slightly to Emperor Hongzhi and all the officials.

"My son thinks that Lao Gao has done a good job. There are female medical officers in the palace who can treat the emperor's grandmother and queen mother. Why can't it be done by the public?

The elder of the tree must be solid to the root; the one who wants to flow far away is better than dredging its spring; the one who thinks about the peace of the country must accumulate its virtue and righteousness. In the homes of the people, there are also troubles like the emperor's grandmother and the queen mother.

As for my father, I only allowed female medical officers to be established in the palace, but not female doctors in the private sector.

What's the difference between it and only officers and soldiers setting fires, but not allowing people to light lamps? "

What Zhu Houzhao said was obviously very reasonable, but it made people's gums bleed from anger.

Emperor Hongzhi gritted his teeth tightly, regretting letting this scoundrel come in and feeling a little unable to get off the stage.

"Who taught you the truth?"

"It's Master Li."

I taught you the principles, but not how to use them. Li Dongyang said hurriedly: "I only taught your highness to recite, but not to argue like this."

Did this teach the apprentice and kill the master?

Yan Chengjin was secretly relieved. Fortunately, Zhu Houzhao didn't say that he taught him.

What Zhu Houzhao said is the principle among Zhenguan politicians, and it is the way of the emperor, taught by the three ministers of the cabinet.

The ministers were cautious, raised their heads slightly, and studied Emperor Hongzhi's face.

Emperor Hongzhi has exposed veins on his forehead. He is a reasonable person.

But at this moment, he couldn't think of any reason to refute Zhu Houzhao.

Yan Chengjin felt that it was necessary to educate His Majesty on the impact of male-female population imbalance.

“Your Majesty wants the nine sides to be adequately defended and the fields to be cultivated, all without people.

May I ask Your Majesty, can a man give birth to a child?

Nowadays, common people and refugees are afraid of wasting food, so they immerse baby girls in vats after giving birth, or sell them into brothels as slaves.

The imperial examinations and engineers from Liangxiang College of Science can help men rise quickly, which further encourages this style.

How will the people of Ming Dynasty prosper in the long run? "

In the Ming Dynasty, it was quite common to abandon or sell baby girls.

The first thing people think about is to fill their stomachs. An extra mouth means an extra mouthful of food.

"And there was no shortage of medical women with outstanding medical skills in the Ming Dynasty, who could help the world and save people like Wang Ji."

Today in the Ming Dynasty, there is a medical woman with superb medical skills.

This man's medical skills are comparable to Wang Ji!

She is one of the four most famous female doctors in history.

Now in the Ming Dynasty, no one has heard of her reputation, which is really a pity.

Emperor Hongzhi sneered: "Wang Ji is a rare miracle doctor in the world. Is there anyone in the world whose medical skills are comparable to his? He is still a woman, how can I believe it?!"

"This person's name is Tan Yunxian, a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment of Nanzhili, and the daughter of Tan Gang!"

Yan Chengjin said softly.

But these words were like a huge stone, hitting the softest place in the hearts of Emperor Hongzhi and Li Dongyang.

There is indeed an official in Nanzhili named Tan Gang!

This man was a Jinshi in the fifth year of Chenghua and was unknown in southern Zhili.

"Master Yan...how did Master Yan know?"

Xiao Jing opened his mouth in astonishment, this guy is like a living factory.

He knows everything in heaven and on earth.

Sometimes, Xiao Jing even suspected that he was possessed by a god?

Our ladies usually stay at home, so the factory guards don't even know about this person, let alone prying around.

Yan Chengjin had already prepared the answer: "Master Cheng is in the southern Zhili area and knows something about it."

Cheng Minzheng is far away in North Korea, and your Majesty may send someone south to the south of the Yangtze River to investigate Tan Yunxian.

But he would not send people all the way to North Korea to find Cheng Minzheng.

Because...it costs more.

Emperor Hongzhi sighed. As a king, his first duty is to make good use of the virtuous.

But he...

He looked at Yan Chengjin and said, "When a woman goes to the countryside to attend school, wouldn't she be exposed to the public? Besides, a doctor has to see countless people a day. If a woman does the same, isn't it immoral?"

Yan Chengjin bowed slightly: "If you order them to cover their black hair and faces so as not to show their faces, your Majesty's problem will be solved."

Doctors also need to wear a turban and a human muzzle, which is no different from this dress.

Liu Jian and Li Dongyang pondered for a moment and remained silent.

Emperor Hongzhi was worried: "I only allow you to use it in medicine out of sympathy for the suffering of the people, and as you said, you need to cover your face when visiting the doctor, and you cannot show your true face."

After saying these words, he had a premonition that I would be scolded as a coward by the people.

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

This is a huge concession, like tearing a small hole in the seal of ethics.

Yan Chengjin believed that Emperor Hongzhi's move would be praised just as Yingzong abolished the burial system.

It's just that he doesn't know it yet.

Zhu Houzhao also followed suit and said happily: "Father, the Holy Ming!"

Emperor Hongzhi continued: "The Superintendent of Ceremonies sent people south to the south of the Yangtze River. If Tan Gang really has a daughter who is a miraculous doctor, he will pass on my decree and transfer her to the capital as a doctor in the Ministry of Punishment.

If it is just empty talk, let it go. "

Among the emperors of the Ming Dynasty, as long as they didn't like alchemy, they all favored the imperial doctor.

Therefore, imperial doctors were highly valued during the Ming Dynasty, except during the Jiajing Dynasty.

During the Chenghua Dynasty, Zhu Jianshen appointed more than thirty medical officers in one breath.

This woman's medical skills are comparable to Wang Ji, and His Majesty will not let her go.

Yan Chengjin lowered his head, his expression not changing much.

Li Dongyang and others were secretly surprised. Although it was a neutral tone, there was a huge difference between the Southern Zhili who had free time and the Northern Zhili who had real power.

Xiao Jing said hurriedly: "I obey the order."

Yan Chengjin left the palace and came to Liangxiang, asking Wang Yue and Wang Bushui to modify the red notice: female doctors who come to apply for engineers need to wear headscarves and muzzles.

Wang Yue and Wang Bushui quite agree that showing up in public is really a bit immoral.

Five days later, although the capital and Liangxiang are bustling.

But the real people who come to Liangxiang to apply for medical engineers are only common people and refugees, not a single lady from a wealthy family.

For refugees and common people, being an engineer is better than being sold to a brothel.

And it doesn't cost money to support them, so they are naturally happy to send them here.

…

Nanjing, an ordinary courtyard.

The woman is graceful, she is dressed in a green silk skirt, with a green jade hairpin inserted in her green hair, and her white jade hands gently pick up the herbs and sniff them carefully in front of her nose.

Although she is not wearing heavy makeup, she is very fresh and moving, a real beauty, and she looks good in plain clothes.

"Miss, the Huimin Pharmacy in the capital has issued a new prescription."

The maid came in excitedly holding a bag of medicinal materials.

Miss likes medicinal materials, and she will buy any new prescriptions to read.

Tan Yunxian opened the oil paper and blushed when she saw the medicinal materials inside: "Wang Ji is a famous doctor respected by the world, but he actually issued such a prescription. It's really..."

The maid was curious: "Miss, what kind of medicine is this?"

Tan Yunxian blushed and stammered: "Strengthening... aphrodisiac."

Tan Gang came to see his daughter and sighed when he heard these words: "Dad's salary was used to buy medicinal materials, so why did you buy such medicine?"

The maid blushed and said: "I bought it, and I don't know what it is..."

Knowing that his daughter likes to study prescriptions, Tan Gang didn't say much.

At this moment, the steward came to report in a hurry, as if he had seen a ghost.

"Master, the imperial edict has arrived!"

Tan Gang's head buzzed, and he was so shocked that he almost fainted.

How could there be an imperial edict in this damn place of Nanzhili?

Is he being exiled?

He came to the main hall nervously, and saw the eunuch in the robes of the emperor, holding the imperial edict, standing majestically in front of the hall.

"Your servant... Your servant Tan Gang receives the imperial edict."

Miao Kui smiled: "Master Tan, congratulations!"

"What's the joy?"

Miao Kui did not answer: "You will know when you receive the imperial edict, the emperor of the heaven and the destiny, the decree says, I only follow the purpose of morality and life, and carry forward the Taoism..."

After Tan Gang received the imperial edict, his mood changed from trembling to confusion, and there was also an unspeakable surprise.

Promoted!

Although it was a horizontal transfer, it was actually a promotion!

Before he could react, Miao Kui kindly reminded: "Master Tan, pack up your belongings as soon as possible and go to the capital to take up your post."

But...why was he promoted?
