Chapter 12: Medical Academy
"I agree!" Qing Yunzi said with a firm look, "If anyone makes a fuss about this because of the difference between men and women, I will take full responsibility."
Ying Zifei shook his head slightly, then smiled and said, "Senior, arguing about other people's opinions will only waste your energy."
"It would be better to choose the best way to deal with this matter."
"What do you think?" Qing Yunzi asked. If the problem could be solved easily, he certainly wouldn't want to argue with some people.
"Senior, we must find someone of sufficient status to take the lead. It would be best if she could handle this matter."
Ying Zifei said with a mysterious smile, "My status is high enough to make those who are complaining retreat."
"Not only that, but it can also be used as a rallying cry. After all, recruiting female doctors is not easy."
Routine, pure routine!
Qing Yunzi inexplicably felt somewhat familiar, and after thinking about it for a while, he immediately reacted.
My goodness, isn’t this just a replica of the health-enhancing pills and beauty creams that Ying Zifei used to make himself famous?
"It's not easy to find such a person, right?" Qing Yunzi hesitated. Ying Zifei was speechless. He had reminded the old man so obviously, but the old man was still confused.
"Senior, your eyes are old, can you look up a little bit?"
Ying Zifei pointed in the direction of the Qin Palace and said with a smile: "Isn't there a suitable candidate in the Qin Palace?"
"My king's mother, Queen Mother Zhao Ji, isn't she the right person?"
"The Queen Mother has the power to supervise the country and is also the Queen Mother of Qin. Who else is more suitable than her?"
Qing Yunzi felt his scalp tingling, but he had to admit that Queen Mother Zhao Ji was indeed the right candidate.
As long as this action is just, if anyone verbally attacks Queen Mother Zhao Ji, wouldn't that be provoking the Qin State?
The Qin army is not so easy to talk to!
"Is it really feasible?" Qing Yunzi swallowed his saliva, eager to try it.
"Senior, don't forget about our king. He has already set a wedding date with the Princess of Chu. After the wedding is completed next year, she can also join us."
"She is both the wife of the King of Qin and the princess of Chu. What a great prestige this is."
Ying Zifei continued to give advice, and Qing Yunzi was convinced. This bastard boy was using his status and prestige to the extreme.
"Then what should we do?" Qing Yunzi asked worriedly: "We have found a suitable candidate, but how should we invite him?"
"Senior, come closer and listen." Ying Zifei smiled confidently and whispered to Qing Yunzi.
Whenever Qing Yunzi didn't understand something, he would ask carefully and Ying Zifei would explain it clearly one by one.
Half an hour later, Qing Yunzi left, taking away the twelve volumes of books from Ying Zifei's study.
"My Lord, is there any danger in your plan?" the butler asked softly. He was listening just now, and why did he feel that his Lord was going to plot against Queen Mother Zhao Ji?
"It's okay." Ying Zifei's eyes were blurred, and he smiled slightly: "People always have to find something to do, so as not to be idle all day and feel lonely and helpless."
Some things must be tried to see if they can prevent Queen Mother Zhao Ji from going back to the old path.
The housekeeper did not ask any more questions, so Ying Zifei told him, "Immediately, secretly collect a sum of money and give it to the Zongzheng, and tell him that the money will be used for Qing Yunzi."
"The establishment of the Medical Academy. From now on, this amount of money will be paid to the Medical Academy every year in the name of the Qin State Zongzheng, on behalf of the King of Qin and all the clans of the royal family."
"The Black Ice Platform cannot reveal its true colors, otherwise those forces will follow the clues and find our source of wealth."
"promise!"
The housekeeper nodded and turned to leave. After Ying Zifei and Ah Fu had eaten and drunk their fill, they sat in the pavilion watching the snow.
……
The Taoist medicine has a great influence in the Qin State. Because the Qin State has many connections with Taoism, and Qingyunzi has superb medical skills, many powerful people in the Qin State have benefited from his medical treatment.
Therefore, Qing Yunzi cried all the way to Xianyang, which had a significant impact.
Someone asked Qing Yunzi why he was crying, but Qing Yunzi did not answer and said that he went into Xianyang City just to seek a glimmer of hope.
Gossip seems to be engraved in human nature. The more mysterious Qing Yunzi makes things, the more people speculate.
When all the speculations became more and more outrageous, Qing Yunzi finally took action and asked to see Queen Mother Zhao Ji.
Queen Mother Zhao Ji met Qing Yunzi in confusion.
When Qing Yunzi saw Queen Mother Zhao Ji, he bowed deeply to her, which scared the Queen Mother Zhao Ji so much that she quickly asked the palace maids to help Qing Yunzi up.
"How can I accept this great gift from a great sage?"
Zhao Ji knew the old man's abilities. When the late king was in poor health, he often asked the old man to treat him.
"Your Majesty, please accept it. Qingyun came here only to ask Your Majesty to give me a glimmer of hope."
Qing Yunzi bowed again as he spoke. Queen Mother Zhao Ji was confused and had to ask the reason.
Qing Yunzi did not explain first, but only asked Queen Mother Zhao Ji to take a look at the twelve volumes of letters he brought with him.
Queen Mother Zhao Ji began to read the letter in a daze. After reading it, she seemed to be thinking about something.
"Qingyunzi, is this why you cried all the way to Xianyang?"
The scrolls contained statistics on pregnancy and childbirth. If a mother and child had a difficult birth, only one would survive; if both mother and child died, the cold data made Queen Mother Zhao Ji feel inexplicably sad.
She is so empathetic. As a mother, she knows how difficult it is.
"The Queen Mother is wise. Qingyun is crying for this reason!"
Qing Yunzi bowed again, with a sad but resolute look on his face, and said: "There are so many women in the world. If there is a chance to increase the possibility of survival, Qing Yun is willing to do it."
"As he walked along the way, Qingyun thought hard about the solution, but he could not find the way, so he cried sadly."
"But God has his own way, and Qingyun has his own enlightenment. There is a glimmer of hope. That's why I came to see the Queen Mother and hope that she will help me."
"This palace?" Queen Mother Zhao Ji was stunned for a moment, then pointed at herself and asked: "How can this palace help you?"
Qing Yunzi bowed respectfully and pleaded: "Queen Mother, the solution lies with the female doctor."
"If there are enough female doctors, the risks of childbirth can be reduced." "The rich and powerful have experienced midwives, but the common people have to rely on God's will."
"Qingyun wants to ask the Queen Mother for help in the matter of female doctors. Qingyun wants to build a medical school in Qin State, and female doctors will also be included in it."
"Only if the Queen Mother takes charge of this matter can she have the appeal to solve the problem."
Queen Mother Zhao Ji widened her eyes and said in disbelief: "Qing Yunzi, you want to build a medical school?"
She may not be very politically wise, but she is not a fool. Is it so easy to build a school?
"Queen Dowager, Qingyun only asks for a glimmer of hope. If the Queen Dowager agrees, Qingyun will take care of the affairs of the Medical Academy."
As he spoke, Qing Yunzi bowed again and said, "If the Medical Academy is built, please ask the Queen Mother to personally take charge of the female doctor's affairs."
Queen Mother Zhao Ji narrowed her eyes. Why did she feel that Qing Yunzi was very confident?
After thinking it over for a while, she found it difficult to make a decision. This matter was difficult, and she also knew that if she really agreed, there might be some trouble.
Seeing that she was hesitant, Qing Yunzi secretly praised Ying Zifei for his foresight.
Then, Qing Yunzi looked disappointed and upset, bowed and said: "If the Queen Mother feels embarrassed, Qing Yun will not invite you anymore."
"Qingyun wants to go to Queen Mother Xia Ji and Queen Mother Huayang to seek a glimmer of hope. Please introduce me to them, Queen Mother."
When these words were spoken, Queen Mother Zhao Ji's brows jumped immediately. She didn't like those two elders and had many disputes with them.
"Qingyunzi, how confident are you about this matter?" asked Queen Mother Zhao Ji. She wanted to make some move.
She could also see that once Qing Yunzi's medical school was completed, she would become famous if she managed the female doctor plan well.
Haven't Queen Dowager Huayang and Queen Dowager Xia Ji always looked down on her? If this really succeeds, will they still dare to look down on her, Zhao Ji?
Become!
Qing Yunzi was secretly delighted and said solemnly: "Queen Dowager, I am willing to give it a try."
"Well, I agree with you, but the prerequisite is that you can build a medical school." Queen Mother Zhao Ji put forward the condition. If the medical school is to be built, a lot of manpower and material resources will be needed.
Zhao Ji didn't think this would succeed without anyone's support.
"Thank you Queen Mother!"
Qing Yunzi bowed with great respect again. Although he had some plans in mind, since Queen Mother Zhao Ji agreed, he had to express his gratitude.
……
The truth is!
The reason why Qing Yunzi cried all the way to Xianyang finally became clear.
The news that he went to the palace to ask for an audience with Queen Mother Zhao Ji and asked her to take charge of the female doctor had already spread.
When the news spread that Qing Yunzi was going to build a medical school, many people were dumbfounded.
While people were discussing this, in the Qin Palace, Ying Zifei, King Ying Zheng of Qin, and Zong Zheng were discussing this matter in the hall.
"Brother, the students of the Medical Academy are well-educated and can come and go freely. Is this a waste of financial resources?"
Ying Zifei had already explained the whole story clearly, and Ying Zheng greatly agreed with the establishment of the Medical Academy.
From his perspective, population is the most important national strength.
If the Medical Academy can train enough doctors in the future, many people will benefit.
At this time, he did not quite understand why Ying Zifei had specified in the rules and regulations of the Medical Academy that students could come and go freely after completing their studies.
In this way, we will be helping other countries train medical talents in vain.
"Your Majesty, in the enrollment of the Medical Academy, apart from the fixed quota for the Qin military, the quota for our Qin should be equal to that of the six countries."
"If it is only for the Qin State's medical academy, although it can help the Qin State, it will lose its magnanimity."
"The Medical Academy should be a medical academy for everyone in the world."
Ying Zifei said with a meaningful smile: "The people's hearts are with me, and great things can be done."
"Your Majesty, some things need to be done one by one. When they are needed, they can have a great effect."
Upon hearing this, Ying Zheng became thoughtful and soon nodded heavily.
"My brother, what you said makes sense. Our Qin State should have such a broad mind."
The Qin State must show its attitude so that people all over the world will have nothing to say. As for other effects, they will only be seen in the future.
"In that case, Master Zongzheng, please cooperate with the implementation. In the name of my Qin royal family, I will help Qingyunzi establish a medical school."
"promise!"
Zong Zheng agreed and then stood up and left. After he left, Ying Zheng asked Ying Zifei: "Brother, how long can the wealth of the Black Ice Terrace support the Medical Academy?"
"If it affects the affairs of the Black Ice Platform, it would be more trouble than gain. When the time is right, I will include the expenses of the academy into the national treasury expenses."
"Your Majesty, the time has not come for the Qin treasury to cover the expenses of the Medical Academy." Ying Zifei shook his head slightly, and said with a gleam in his eyes: "In the future, there will be more than one Medical Academy in Xianyang City."
"That's when the King will take over."
Ying Zheng nodded slightly when he heard this. He understood that the future expansion of the Medical Academy would also be a good card for the Qin State to win the hearts of the people.
"It's time to have a good talk with Zhongfu."
As he spoke, Ying Zheng nodded slightly to Ying Zifei. Ying Zifei nodded, and he knew what to do.
……
Regarding the matter of the Medical School, many people felt that Qing Yunzi was overestimating his own capabilities. However, a few days later, the Qin royal family's Zong Zheng announced his support for Qing Yunzi to establish the Medical School and handed over a large sum of money to Qing Yunzi.
Afterwards, King Ying Zheng of Qin also announced in the court that he would help Qing Yunzi establish a medical school and recruit students from all over the world.
