Although the weather is still very cold in Da'anfang, southwest of Chang'an City, it is a hot construction site. Houses have been cleaned up and repaired, some unsuitable buildings have been demolished, and some new buildings are also under construction.

This was originally a garrison of Zuowugu, but after Li Zhi moved to Luoyang, the army of several guards also moved away, so the military camp was also vacant. Zhang Zong was about to build a medical school, so Li Hong assigned the place to the Imperial Medical Office.

The reason why the Medical School was selected here is that the building in this military camp was enough to meet the use of the Medical School, and there was no need to build a new school, which saved a lot of costs and time. Secondly, the location of Da'anfang was also carefully prepared by Zhang Zong.

Chang'an City has a population of over one million, which is also the first big city in the world with a population of over one million. However, this city also has a common problem with all the big cities, that is, slums. After all, there are poor people in any era, and these poor people live together, which forms slums.

The slums in Chang'an City are located in the southwest, opposite to Qujiangchi in the southeast corner, but the other side of Qujiangchi is the playground for the rich and nobles, while the southwest area of ​​Chang'an is a settlement for the poor in Chang'an.

Poor people are more likely to get sick. After all, they cannot eat well and do not care about their own health for the sake of making a living. Therefore, many people have various diseases. Therefore, Zhang Zong set the location of the Medical School in Da'anfang and will organize teachers and students in the school to treat the people around him in the future. On the one hand, the poor people can also get sick, and on the other hand, the students in the school can accumulate experience in practicing medicine.

Zhang Zong and Zhou Shenwei walked in this medical school under construction. The entire medical school was planned by Zhang Zong, and the layout was completely built according to the schools of later generations. In fact, the military camp is very similar to the schools of later generations, and they are divided into several large areas, such as accommodation areas, training areas, etc., so you only need to make some changes to the military camp.

"Zhou Dianyu, how is the textbook written? When will Master Sun come to the capital?" Zhang Zong asked Zhou Shenwei as he walked. The Chinese New Year has just passed, and the Chinese New Year will be in a few days. Sun Simiao once said that he would come to the capital before the Chinese New Year so that he could enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Chinese Lantern Festival, but there is no news about him yet, so Zhang Zong was also a little anxious.

"I just received a letter from the teacher this morning. Just yesterday morning, the teacher and the others had already set off. However, the teacher is older, so the road may be slower, and I guess we may not arrive in the capital tomorrow."

Zhou Shenwei paused at this point, and then said again: "As for the textbook, I have also written an outline with other imperial doctors. The next step is to discuss the contents in it. However, it is best to wait for the teacher to come. This way, if the teacher is checking the situation, it will be less likely to make mistakes!"

After hearing this, Zhang Zong nodded. The compilation of textbooks is the top priority, and it is even more important than the school in front of him. After all, the school can be rebuilt even if it is destroyed, but the quality of the textbooks determines the key to cultivating students.

In addition, Sun Simiao once said that if you want to integrate the later medical system introduced by Zhang Zong into the current traditional Chinese medicine theory and then compile it into the textbook, this is a very arduous project. Except for Sun Simiao, no one else can do it.

"Since Master Sun is coming tomorrow, let's prepare as well to welcome Master Sun tomorrow." Zhang Zong said excitedly immediately. With Sun Simiao's arrival, the Medical School has been officially put on the agenda. At that time, you can write textbooks while recruiting students.

"Mr. Concubine, do you have any plans for enrollment?" Zhou Shenwei and Zhang Zong thought of going together, and mentioned enrollment at this time.

Zhang Zong also pondered for a moment when he heard this, then looked up and smiled, "I want to hear your opinions on enrollment. I wonder if you have any ideas about this?"

"This..." Zhou Shenwei hesitated for a moment, and then said carefully, "My junior brother and I dare not make decisions about enrollment, so we summoned the imperial doctors to chat. As a result, many people suggested that some of our children could be selected as students."

Zhang Zong couldn't help but sneer in secret when he heard this. There are two types of imperial doctors. One is like Zhou Shenwei. He is not from a medical family, but through his own efforts, or has a good master, so he has learned superb medical skills and become an imperial doctor. The other is from a medical family. Some people even have imperial doctors in the palace. The ancestors have made a living by treating the royal family for generations, and this type of person also accounts for the vast majority.

In other words, most of the imperial doctors came from medical families. Zhang Zong wanted to establish a medical school, and they were all about their cakes. However, they also knew that Zhang Zong was not easy to mess with, so they did not dare to object directly, so they proposed to send their children to the school to study medicine, so as to achieve the goal of continuing to monopolize medicine.

Zhou Shenwei saw the disdainful expression on Zhang Zong's face and guessed what he thought. After all, he knew very well that although this prince-consort was young, he was extremely smart, and the thoughts of those imperial doctors could not be hidden from Zhang Zong's eyes.

However, Zhou Shenwei hesitated for a moment and finally spoke: "Mr. Concubine, I know that those people have selfish intentions for sending their children into the school, but they are not sages, so they must be a little selfish. Moreover, they have been practicing medicine for generations. Their children have been influenced by them since childhood, and their foundations are much better than ordinary people, so I think they can't be excluded."

Zhang Zong was quite surprised when he heard Zhou Shenwei's words, but he also understood Zhou Shenwei's meaning. Now that the medical school is newly built, it requires a large number of people to fill it, so people from medical families need to be used. In this way, it is not advisable to have too much trouble with them.

Thinking of this, Zhang Zong pondered for a moment again, and finally nodded: "Okay, the school can recruit these people, but they can only account for half of the proportion. The remaining half will be recruited from the public school. As long as young people who have been to public schools and can read and write proficiently, they can sign up!"

"It's so good that you don't offend those people, and you can also give people from the people a chance!" Zhou Shenwei said happily when he saw Zhang Zong agreeing.

In fact, Zhou Shenwei has a very low background. His parents both died of illness, so he was accepted as a disciple by Sun Simiao. He is also quite talented in studying medicine. With his own efforts, he has gained his current status. Therefore, Zhou Shenwei also hopes to give some opportunities to some common children.
