Zhao Xu accompanied the two palaces. After chatting for a while, he suddenly said: "My mother-in-law, my queen mother, when I summoned Shen Kuo just now, I heard Song Yongchen say that Shen Kuo has been so busy with official duties since he came to Beijing that he didn't even have a day off.

I am recuperating at home for a few days..."

The two palaces looked at each other and asked the Queen Mother: "Is this Shen Kuo so loyal to the country?"

She thought that Zhao Xu wanted to promote Shen Kuo, so she asked, "How is Sixth Brother going to reward him?"

Zhao Xu smiled, held Empress Dowager Xiang's hand, and said: "Mother, I am thinking about more than just Shen Kuo..."

"When I heard what Song Yongchen said about Shen Kuo, I thought of my mother-in-law and queen mother..."

Zhao Xu stretched out his hand and grabbed the hands of the Empress Dowager Xiang with one hand, and the Empress Dowager Tai Empress Dowager with the other hand, and said: "These days, I have seen my mother-in-law and my mother-in-law, bless and support me, and work hard for the country and the country..."

"I'm really worried about the health of my mother-in-law and my queen..."

The two palaces were immediately overjoyed.

Especially the Empress Dowager. She held Zhao Xu's hand tightly and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Mother!"

"It's enough to say that you are an official!"

Queen Mother Xiang also followed suit: "The Queen Mother is not working hard either... The Queen Mother is not working hard either..."

Tell her that Brother Liu's words of concern are enough.

"Mother, Queen, please listen to me..." Zhao Xu said while looking at the two palaces.

The two palaces then looked at him quietly.

"Mother, Queen Mother should know that the imperial doctor Qian Yi currently comes to the palace every five days to diagnose the child's pulse, record the pulse, heartbeat, and inquire about diet, right?"

Both palaces nodded.

"I think this method of Doctor Qian's is very good..." Zhao Xu said: "It's a bit like Bian Que's method of treating pre-existing diseases..."

"So, I thought about it, Mingtai Hospital selects an imperial doctor, who will come to the palace every five days to serve as the mother-in-law. The mother-in-law will consult her, record her pulse, heartbeat, and check her diet and sleeping conditions..."

"In this way, the disease can be nipped in the bud, and the mother-in-law and queen mother can live a long and happy life!"

"Maybe I can give you a prince or a princess in the future!"

After hearing this, both palaces were immediately moved.

"Good boy!" The Queen Mother hugged Zhao Xu.

Empress Dowager Xiang couldn't help but stroke Zhao Xu's head: "My son is so benevolent and filial!"

However, this is not Zhao Xu's purpose.

Zhao Xu was in the arms of the Empress Dowager and said: "Mother, Queen Mother, I still want to popularize this method..."

"First of all, push it away from the clan leader Qi Zhi..."

"Mrs. Han Yue Guo (the Empress Dowager's biological mother) and Qin Lu Guo Tai (the Empress Dowager's biological mother), the two imperial uncles, Da Zongzheng, etc., should have priority in enjoying this generous treatment!"

After hearing this, the Empress Dowager and Empress Dowager Xiang were extremely satisfied and said one after another: "Just follow the official's instructions!"

The Imperial Physician Bureau of the Song Dynasty maintained so many imperial doctors just to show the emperor's great benevolence.

This suggestion by the official (sixth brother) is to further deepen the emperor's favor and is also a good strategy to treat Qi Zaizhi, the outsider of the clan.

that is……

If this happens, will there not be enough imperial doctors?

When the two palaces thought of this, they knew what to do!

Expand the recruitment of imperial doctors!

This is a small matter, a matter of will.

Anyway, the Song Dynasty already had enough redundant officials, so it didn't care to have a few more skill officials.

The two palaces then issued an edict to the Imperial Medical Bureau. In the name of Zhao Xu, they ordered the Imperial Medical Bureau to select members to go to the two concubines, the two princes and the governor of the capital every five days to consult the elders in Beijing and record their pulses.

Heartbeat, breathing, diet, sleep status and archived.

By the way, Shen Kuo's name was also added to it.

At the same time, he ordered Qian Yi to serve the emperor with merit and move to an official position, and he was allowed to borrow Fei.

He also ordered the Imperial Medical Bureau to open nine new examinations this year to recruit people from the square. Those who have already studied under the Imperial Medical Bureau will be sent to various departments to treat illnesses for soldiers and officials.

The number of students above the imperial edict has been increased from 20 to 50, the number of middle-level students has been increased from 30 to 90, and the number of lower-level students has been increased from 50 to 150. Their salaries and benefits remain the same.

Note: In the Imperial Medical Bureau of the Northern Song Dynasty, there were students from nine subjects, divided into upper, middle and lower grades, all of whom were called studying doctors of the Imperial Medical Bureau.

It should be similar to the current graduate students, who are doctors who passed the exam and were admitted to the Imperial Medical Bureau.

After these people studied in the Imperial Medical Bureau and were promoted to upper-class students, they were sent to various places to treat soldiers and officials.

After going through this process, you will become an official imperial physician.

PS: People who are famous for their superb medical skills are not subject to this restriction.

Note 2: Square people: Those who are high-class imperial medical doctors who return to Beijing after being released and participate in three examinations in the Ministry of Rites and pass the examination are called square people. Square people are qualified to serve as officials of the Imperial Medical Bureau.

.

Therefore, the Imperial Medical Bureau of the Northern Song Dynasty was both a royal medical institution and a royal medical school.

Note 3: Imperial doctors, astronomical officials, musicians and other miscellaneous people in the Northern Song Dynasty were basically collectively referred to as magic officers.

Before Huizong, the 19th rank below the imperial envoys of the Eastern Class, that is, the Imperial Medical Officers, were designated as Mokan transfer officers.

According to the provisions of the Obstruction Law, unless there is a special decree from the emperor, a magician officer can only be promoted to Hanlin Medical Officer and cannot be promoted any further.
