Chapter 188 Proposes Holding a Medical Exchange Conference
The King of Qin nodded slightly, his eyes showing a thoughtful look. "This proposal is reasonable, but the manpower and resources required are not to be underestimated. Moreover, how can we ensure that the students are focused on their studies and not use this opportunity for personal gain?"
Ying Wuyou respectfully replied, “Father, the selection process for admission should be rigorous, observing the candidate’s character and temperament. Within the academy, a strict assessment system should be established, with clear rewards and punishments. As for human and material resources, initially, they can be supported by government funding. In the future, the medical school can become self-sufficient by charging a small fee for treating patients. The medical school can also recruit extraordinary doctors and practitioners from the folk as teachers, drawing on the strengths of various schools of thought, which will be more conducive to the inheritance and development of medicine.”
Upon hearing this, the King of Qin smiled approvingly. "Jiayang's plan is excellent. I will consider it carefully." Feng Quji and Li Qingfeng exchanged a glance, both secretly admiring Ying Wuyou's intelligence and keen insight.
Ying Wuyou continued, “If we want to successfully build a medical academy, I believe we should first organize a medical exchange conference.”
Upon hearing this, the King of Qin looked suspicious and asked, "What is a medical exchange meeting?"
Ying Wuyou smiled slightly and calmly explained, “Father, the so-called Medical Exchange Conference is a gathering of all physicians in the world. Here, they can exchange and compete in medical skills, and share their medical experiences and techniques. In this way, on the one hand, everyone can learn from each other, make up for their weaknesses, and thus continuously improve their medical skills; on the other hand, we can also take this opportunity to formally raise the matter of establishing a medical academy at the conference, and use this opportunity to observe the views and attitudes of the physicians on this matter.”
Upon hearing the princess's words, Li Qingfeng's emotions instantly became excited. He shouted excitedly, "Princess's plan is truly ingenious! By doing this, we can clearly understand the true thoughts of all the physicians regarding the establishment of the academy. Once the academy is successfully completed, I'm sure no one will be able to raise any objections."
At this moment, Feng Quji nodded in agreement and slowly said, "Yes, Physician Li is absolutely right. Furthermore, through this exchange meeting, we can also select those doctors with superb medical skills and profound attainments from among the many physicians. These outstanding talents, whether recommended to serve in important positions in the Imperial Medical Bureau or invited to teach their medical experience at medical academies, will have extremely broad prospects for development. In this way, supporting the establishment of medical academies will inevitably become an inevitable trend."
The King of Qin smiled and said in a light tone, "Haha, very good! Jia Yang's idea is excellent. Very well, then proceed according to plan. This matter will be entirely handled by the three of you." After saying that, he glanced at Feng Quji, Li Qingfeng, and Ying Wuyou in turn.
Feng Quji and Li Qingfeng exchanged a glance, then simultaneously turned their gaze to Ying Wuyou. Ying Wuyou nodded slightly in agreement. Immediately afterward, the three of them shouted in unison, "Your subjects obey!" Their voices were clear and resonant, echoing throughout the hall.
The King of Qin nodded in satisfaction and waved his hand, saying, "Alright, since that's the case, you may go and discuss the specifics yourselves."
The three responded in unison again, "Your subjects take their leave." Then, they slowly turned around and left the solemn and dignified Zhangtai Hall.
After leaving Zhangtai Palace, Ying Wuyou said softly to the two people beside him, "I still have some important matters to discuss with you two."
After a moment's thought, Li Qingfeng suggested, "How about we go to the Imperial Medical Academy? It's a quiet place, and it would be convenient for us to talk."
Upon hearing this, Feng Quji immediately agreed, nodding and replying, "Yes, that's fine." So the three of them headed together toward the Imperial Medical Bureau.
Throughout the journey, Ying Wuyou was slightly excited, as it was her first time visiting the Imperial Medical Academy. Passing through a vast, lush medicinal field, the air was filled with a rich, invigorating aroma of herbs. Finally, they arrived at the Imperial Medical Academy's daily rest and reception area.
Most of the imperial physicians here recognized Princess Jiayang—Ying Wuyou. Although Ying Wuyou rarely fell ill, her many heroic deeds had already spread throughout the palace and beyond, and everyone knew of them. Therefore, when everyone saw Ying Wuyou and Feng Quji arrive together, they all respectfully bowed and greeted them.
Under Li Qingfeng's arrangement, Ying Wuyou sat comfortably in the main seat. Seeing this, the others also took their seats in order. Once everyone was seated, Ying Wuyou cleared his throat and said, "This medical exchange is of paramount importance. You must do everything in your power to spread this message to all counties and prefectures, primarily within our Great Qin. Of course, if doctors from other countries outside of Great Qin are interested in participating in the exchange, they are most welcome."
Upon hearing this, Feng Quji frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Such a grand exchange meeting must have a large number of participants. So, where would be the most appropriate place to hold it?"
Ying Wuyou pondered for a moment, then replied, "It is currently the dead of winter, and there are indeed many inconveniences. In my opinion, it would be better to wait until the spring of next year to hold the event. In the meantime, we can begin to prepare for the construction of an academy. However, remember not to hang any signs, so as not to attract too much attention and make people wonder what the purpose of this place is."
Feng Quji nodded repeatedly in agreement: "Yes, what the princess said makes a lot of sense."
At this moment, Li Qingfeng interjected, asking, "So how should the specific details of this competition be set?"
Ying Wuyou smiled slightly and replied, "Well, your Imperial Medical Bureau has so many experienced and highly skilled physicians, why don't you all discuss this together first? Moreover, during this time, the physicians can also exchange skills and compete with each other to improve their skills and knowledge."
Having said that, her gaze swept over the assembled imperial physicians. Li Qingfeng and several other imperial physicians exchanged glances, Li Qingfeng already having made up his mind. The other imperial physicians, however, all looked somewhat bewildered, clearly not yet fully understanding the deeper meaning behind Ying Wuyou's words.
Ying Wuyou spoke calmly, “You can discuss the matters related to the medical exchange meeting yourselves. If you encounter any difficulties, feel free to ask me. However, there’s no need to rush this matter. Today, I would like to discuss the issue of medical classification with all of you Imperial Physicians.” Her gaze swept over everyone present, her eyes revealing a thoughtful expression.
At this moment, Li Qingfeng respectfully cupped his hands and asked, "Your Highness, please tell me in detail."
Ying Wuyou nodded slightly and continued, "Leaving aside the doctors outside, let's just talk about the imperial physicians in our Imperial Medical Bureau. Although they each have different areas of expertise, there has never been a clear and accurate classification standard."
