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.

The sun at noon shone on people warmly. Zhang Zong, Zhou Shenwei and others stood at the city gate, looking at the official road in the distance from time to time. Today is the day when Sun Simiao came to Chang'an, so they also waited at the city gate early.

"Here's here!" At this moment, someone suddenly shouted excitedly. Zhang Zong and others all raised their feet and looked at the official road when they heard this.

There were many pedestrians coming and going on the official road, but Zhang Zong and the others could still see a ox cart coming slowly at a glance. Although there was a carport on the carport, it might be that because the sun was very good, everyone in the carport sat on the frame to bask in the sun. Zhang Zong even saw Sun Simiao sitting in the car. After all, he was white-haired and bearded and dressed in Taoist robe, which was so easy to recognize.

As the ox cart approached, Zhang Zong and others also came forward to greet him. Not only did Sun Simiao come by himself, but he also brought some disciples, including the old and the young. Zhang Zong also saw Lu Zhaolin, who was disabled.

Speaking of Lu Zhaolin, Zhang Zong not only sent people to the south, but also offered rewards to some merchants for thunder vines. This thing is very common in some parts of the south, and news will probably be available soon.

When Sun Simiao saw Zhang Zong bringing so many people to greet him, he hurriedly got off the carriage. Then Zhou Shenwei, Xu Sanfeng and others rushed forward to salute. As disciples, they had not seen their teachers for a long time.

After Sun Simiao met with several disciples, Zhang Zong went forward to greet each other and invited Sun Simiao and others to enter the city. He had already booked a banquet in the city to welcome Sun Simiao and others.

Sun Simiao did not like luxury, so he was very low-key when he went to Beijing this time. Zhang Zong and Zhou Shenwei also knew his temper well, so they did not make too much noise. This time they came to welcome Sun Simiao's disciples, and there were also children and disciples of Zhou Shenwei and others. They could be said that they were not outsiders.

After the welcoming banquet, Zhang Zong originally wanted to send Sun Simiao back to his residence to rest. Although Sun Simiao lived in seclusion in Fengkong Mountain, he had his own residence in Chang'an, and the scale of the residence was quite large. This residence was originally rewarded by Li Zhi. It was originally the residence of the deceased Princess Poyang. From this, it can be seen that Li Zhi attached great importance to Sun Simiao.

However, Sun Simiao just asked the disciples he brought to go to his residence to rest first, and he asked to check out the location of the Medical School. Zhang Zong saw that Sun Simiao was indeed very energetic. After all, he came to the capital slowly in a ox cart, and the weather has been very good these two days, so Sun Simiao should not be tired on the road.

So in the end, Zhang Zong asked the others to go back, and he and Zhou Shenwei took Sun Simiao to the Medical School in Da'anfang. This place was still a busy and busy construction site. Many buildings needed to be renovated, and some even needed to be demolished, so the whole school seemed very messy.

However, Sun Simiao didn't care, but seemed excited. Zhang Zong also took out the sketches of the school and explained to Sun Simiao the entire school's plan and various teaching plans in the future.

It was the first time that Sun Simiao heard about these things that Zhang Zong talked about, which made him more and more surprised. He thought that Zhang Zong was the first time to build a medical school, so he would definitely consider different things, but he didn't expect that Zhang Zong's plan was so perfect, and even considered some small details.

Finally, Zhang Zong took Sun Simiao around the school and introduced the inside and out of the school. Then he asked, "Master Sun, we only have so many ideas about the school. Do you think there is anything else that needs improvement?"

"It's very good. You even considered the free medical consultation in the future, and you really didn't expect it!" Sun Simiao nodded repeatedly at this time. He really couldn't give any suggestions for improvement, so he immediately said again, "Is there anything I need to do next? Mr. Zhang, please give me instructions, as long as I can do it, I will definitely not refuse!"

"Teacher, we are writing the school's textbooks recently, but we only listed an outline. The contents in it have not been decided yet. You need to help us check these things!" Zhou Shenwei next to us finally spoke at this time.

"This is no problem. Wherever you write it, I can join tomorrow!" Sun Simiao nodded immediately after hearing this. His main purpose of coming to the capital was to come for the textbooks of this school. After all, after talking with Zhang Zong, he absorbed many medical theories from later generations and was eager to add these new theories to the current medical system.

"Just at the Medicine Collection Bureau of Furong Garden, I will personally invite you to come tomorrow!" Zhou Shenwei replied immediately. Although he is also a famous figure in the medical field in Beijing, he is still the respectful little apprentice in front of Sun Simiao.

"Okay, you will pick me up early tomorrow. I have summarized a lot of things during this period and I also need to talk to you!" Sun Simiao nodded immediately.

It was getting late and the school was finished, so Zhang Zong and Zhou Shenwei proposed to send Sun Simiao back to rest. This time, Sun Simiao did not refuse, so the three of them got on the carriage together. On the way, Sun Simiao also talked to Zhang Zong about the medical system of later generations again. During this period, he had some new ideas and confusions and needed to ask Zhang Zong for advice.

Zhang Zong also did his best to answer some of Sun Simiao's doubts. After all, he also hoped that Sun Simiao could integrate the medical theories of later generations into the current traditional Chinese medicine system and then compile them into the textbooks. In the future, it might affect the direction of medicine and make medicine more scientific and rational.

It was also the first time Zhou Shenwei heard the medical theories of later generations. At first, he was a little confused. Why did his teacher ask Zhang Zong, a young man who was not a doctor?

However, with the discussion between Sun Simiao and Zhang Zong, Zhou Shenwei became more and more surprised. Although his medical attainments were not as good as Sun Simiao, he was far superior to ordinary famous doctors. In addition, he and Sun Simiao were originally in line with each other, so he quickly understood what Zhang Zong said. When he heard it at the end, he suddenly realized that no wonder his teacher was going out. It turned out that the main reason was the prince consort in front of him.

Finally, the carriage came to Sun Simiao's residence, which was the late Princess Poyang's mansion. Although the mansion looked a bit old, it occupied a large area. Sun Simiao brought many disciples and family members, so there was no need to worry about not having a place to live.
