Chapter 187 Establishing a Separate Academy
When Ying Wuyou returned, satisfied with her stroll, the system had already compiled all the necessary information. She gazed expectantly at the massive amount of information presented by the system and began to systematically organize and summarize it. However, given her limited knowledge of the medical field, this task was not easy for her.
Moreover, this was during the Qin Dynasty, when medical development was still in its very early stages. Although basic acupuncture techniques had emerged, they were far from mature and perfect. Therefore, a detailed and accurate diagram of the human body was particularly crucial at this time. With such a diagram, people could delve deeper into the mysteries of acupuncture, thus gradually propelling its development forward.
In addition, surgery was also an important and indispensable aspect. Whenever surgery was necessary, one could only hope that the Imperial Physicians of the Imperial Medical Bureau would conduct in-depth research in this field.
Furthermore, the extraction of the drug was an even greater headache for Ying Wuyou. To successfully extract the active ingredient, one first needed to use a microscope to observe the wonders of the microscopic world. However, before manufacturing a microscope, the challenge of glassmaking had to be overcome, a problem that was daunting to contemplate.
The most challenging issue is classification. Most physicians today are "generalists but not specialists." Even the Imperial Physician, responsible for court medical affairs, may have some expertise in certain areas, but their main focus remains on treating illnesses within the palace, limiting the number of cases they encounter. Therefore, achieving specialized specialization in medical knowledge and improving physicians' diagnostic and treatment skills has become an urgent priority.
Ying Wuyou sat at the table, her brow furrowed as she meticulously recorded and organized the complex medical data and information provided by the system. As time passed, she increasingly felt the profound and challenging nature of the medical field, like a boundless ocean to which she was but a small boat adrift.
At this moment, she knew that all she could do was to do her utmost to advance medicine, but she must not rush things. To suddenly reveal all the advanced modern medical knowledge from thousands of years later to the people of the Qin Dynasty would be as absurd as asking a kindergarten child who could only do addition and subtraction within 100 to study advanced mathematics.
"Sigh... I should probably finalize the key medical classifications first!" Ying Wuyou muttered to herself. So, she buried herself in the table again, focusing intently on organizing these precious documents. Before she knew it, time had flown by.
When Ying Wuyou glanced out the window, she suddenly realized that the sun was already high in the sky. At that moment, she remembered she had important business to attend to at Zhangtai Palace. Panicked, she hurriedly got up, ignoring the mess on the table, and rushed out, clutching her newly organized work.
After a long and arduous journey, Ying Wuyou finally arrived at Zhangtai Palace, where Feng Quji and Li Qingfeng were already waiting for her. The King of Qin, seated above, saw Ying Wuyou, breathless and flushed, and asked with slight surprise, "Did you run all the way here?"
Ying Wuyou smiled somewhat awkwardly, bowed, and replied, "Father, I was so careless that I forgot the time. I was afraid of delaying important matters, so I rushed here in such a hurry. Please forgive me, Father."
The King of Qin raised his hand slightly, indicating, "It's alright, sit down first and listen to what they have to say." Ying Wuyou nodded gently and obediently walked to the lower seat and sat down.
At this moment, Li Qingfeng stepped forward with his hands clasped and said slowly, "Last night, after I returned home, I discussed this matter with my father. My father also pondered this matter for a long time, but he is still unsure. He feels that this is a good thing, but the risks involved are too great, so much so that my father cannot think of a good solution for the time being." After speaking, Li Qingfeng couldn't help but show a worried look on his face and slowly retreated to his original position.
After listening, the King of Qin nodded slightly to indicate that he understood, and then turned his gaze to Feng Quji and asked, "So, have you come up with any good plan?"
Feng Quji quickly bowed and replied, "Your Majesty, I am foolish and have not thought of any brilliant solution." After speaking, Feng Quji shook his head helplessly.
Seeing this, the King of Qin pondered for a moment and then turned his gaze to Ying Wuyou again, asking with anticipation, "Jiayang, why don't you tell me?"
Upon hearing this, Ying Wuyou straightened up slightly and said loudly, "Father, I believe that medicine should never be mixed with other disciplines and taught together. It would be more appropriate to establish a separate medical academy."
A hint of doubt appeared on the King of Qin's face, and he pressed, "Oh? How do you know that?"
Ying Wuyou said, "Medicine involves a wide range of complex and profound knowledge. The human body's meridians, pharmacology, and medicinal properties cannot be mastered in a short time. For example, in the trade of carpentry, one can usually master the necessary skills and graduate smoothly after one to two years of study. However, medicine is different. It may take several years or even more than ten years of in-depth study to achieve mastery and graduate. As a result, the existence of such a huge difference in the length of graduation time for different majors within the same university is really not conducive to the unified management of the school!"
Upon hearing this, the King of Qin nodded slightly in agreement, and Ying Wuyou continued, "There is another point that must be mentioned: medical students, due to the demands of their studies, often need to deal with corpses frequently. This will undoubtedly bring a certain degree of psychological pressure and negative impact to students from other colleges."
King Qin nodded helplessly as he imagined the scene. Ying Wuyou continued, "Furthermore, medicine is a discipline that pays extreme attention to detail and demands absolute precision. Therefore, those who practice medicine naturally face even stricter standards and requirements in terms of character and morality. If medical school were to be taught and managed together with other colleges, medical students might be targeted by students from other colleges because they are too focused on academic research and lack social skills."
The King of Qin, intrigued, pressed on, "Oh? And why is that?"
Ying Wuyou quickly explained, "Think about it, most medical students are immersed in their academic world, buried in their research, and might not be so good at interpersonal relationships. And what about students in professions like blacksmithing? They might be strong and powerful, but they might also have more volatile tempers. Although we belong to different colleges, we eat and live together, so friction and conflict are inevitable over time! Once a conflict arises, if the two sides can't resolve it properly, someone will often need to step in to mediate these trivial disputes. This is clearly not a good thing for any college."
