Ying Wuyou's bright eyes swept across the crowd. Her voice wasn't loud, but it seemed to carry an invisible force, causing most of the attendees to nod involuntarily. Indeed! They were all acutely aware of the difficulties of studying medicine. Leaving aside the hundreds and thousands of complex and dazzlingly diverse herbal names and properties, the strange and ever-changing ailments alone were ubiquitous, making them impossible to guard against. Even more daunting was the fact that many herbs had incompatible relationships; a slight mishap could cause illness or harm to a previously healthy person. Recalling the hardships and setbacks they had experienced on their medical journey, many felt a surge of emotion, silently lamenting how thorny and perilous this path of learning truly was.
After a brief pause, Ying Wuyou continued, "Furthermore, everyone should understand that if medicine is to continue to progress and develop, more and more people must devote themselves to in-depth research. If we don't exchange ideas and skills with each other, and instead just bury ourselves in studying the cases we have, when will medicine ever achieve a major breakthrough?"
After finishing his speech, Ying Wuyou scanned the entire room and continued, "I believe everyone here is well aware of the rapid development of the Great Qin Dynasty over the past two years. If we cannot keep pace with the times and actively seek innovation and change, anyone is likely to fall behind in the fierce competition. Therefore, if you colleagues truly hope that medicine can flourish and thereby improve the social status of doctors, in addition to striving to hone your solid skills, the most important thing is to do your utmost to promote the prosperity of the entire medical community!"
Ying Wuyou's impassioned speech caused a brief silence in the room, but it was quickly followed by enthusiastic applause and waves of praise. Everyone agreed with her insights; they all knew that the booming development of the medical field was indeed inseparable from the dedicated doctors who saved lives. However, an undeniable reality was before them—the number of doctors in society was far from meeting the public's growing medical needs. At this juncture, Ying Wuyou's proposal to establish a specialized academy for training medical professionals was undoubtedly a forward-thinking and urgently needed measure.
However, some people in the crowd still had doubts. At this moment, a white-haired, highly respected old doctor slowly stepped forward. He first bowed slightly to Ying Wuyou, and then said earnestly, "Your Highness, your idea is indeed wonderful, but putting it into practice is by no means easy! Take the most basic things, for example: where will the funds for running the school come from? How will the teaching space be solved? And then there is the crucial issue of the teaching staff. These are all hurdles that are difficult to overcome."
Faced with the old man's concerns, Ying Wuyou showed no sign of panic. She smiled calmly and replied, "Please rest assured, sir. Regarding funding, I will first contribute a portion of my personal savings as start-up capital. I will also submit a detailed plan to the court, requesting my father to allocate special funds for support. As for the venue, I have already selected a spacious open space in the eastern suburbs of Xianyang. The surrounding environment is quiet and serene, making it an ideal place for teaching and nurturing students. Regarding the teaching staff, I believe that as long as we are sincere and wholeheartedly dedicated to the inheritance and promotion of medical knowledge, we will surely attract a large number of like-minded, learned, and talented individuals to join us."
Just then, Li Qingfeng looked around and saw that the atmosphere had been perfectly set. He took a deep breath, stood up steadily, and said loudly, "Your Highness is absolutely right! This humble subject is willing to fully support Your Highness in establishing a medical school. This is an act that will benefit all people and is of extraordinary significance!"
Before he could finish speaking, Li Yifeng also stood up, cupped his hands in a salute, and said, "Your Highness has great foresight, and I am willing to support your grand ambition. Establishing a medical school will not only save lives but also cultivate many medical experts for the world. It is truly a great thing that benefits the country and its people!"
With these two setting an example, everyone else present responded enthusiastically. In an instant, voices rose and fell throughout the hall, all expressing their willingness to support Ying Wuyou in establishing a medical school.
Many of them expressed their desire to contribute to the medical school. Some were willing to donate medicinal herbs, some to provide medical books, and others to teach at the medical school.
Seeing this scene, Ying Wuyou's lips curled into a satisfied smile. She thought to herself, "This is done."
The next step is to conduct an evaluation and vote among those who have given medical lectures over the past few days, selecting those whose explanations are the most practical and insightful.
To ensure the fairness and impartiality of this selection process, Ying Wuyou proposed to everyone: "Each of us has three precious voting opportunities, which can be cast anonymously on the spot!" Upon hearing this, the people present showed surprise on their faces, as they had never imagined that there was such a novel and unique voting method.
Next, everyone carefully wrote down the names of their preferred candidates as instructed and cautiously placed the slips of paper into the pre-prepared box. Then, some people drew ballots from the box and loudly announced the names written on them, while others attentively recorded the results. Just then, Ying Wuyou proposed another highly creative idea: to use tally marks to count the votes. This suggestion drew another round of exclamations and praise from the crowd, who began whispering among themselves, saying that this method was truly ingenious! With everyone's active participation, the atmosphere became increasingly lively and heated.
As ballots were drawn, names were read, and records were kept, the final results were quickly revealed to everyone. Sun Bo's proposed treatment plan for frostbite achieved a remarkable third place with a high number of votes; while Mu Yunyi's acupuncture therapy attracted much attention and successfully secured second place.
However, what shocked and delighted everyone most was the young man named Lin Wan. His proposed method for treating the plague was like a bombshell, instantly igniting the enthusiasm of the entire audience. After all, the plague is an extremely contagious disease, and once it breaks out, its devastation is unimaginable. At best, it could infect an entire village; at worst, it could affect an entire city or even a country—the consequences were truly catastrophic. Therefore, when they learned that Lin Wan had come up with a solution, everyone present looked at him with newfound respect and admiration.
