Chapter 496 That bastard is truly inhuman.

Since Emperor Zhu was being generous for once, Yang Shaofeng naturally wouldn't be stingy either.

After receiving Yang Shaofeng's signal, Yang Qing bowed to Emperor Zhu once again and said, "Since Your Majesty has come to Dengzhou Medical College, I have some things I would like to ask Your Majesty to see."

Yang Shaofeng quickly bowed to Empress Ma and said, "Mother-in-law, shall I accompany you for a tour of the medical school?"

Empress Ma was both amused and annoyed. "What kind of wonderful thing is it that you had to hide it from me?"

Emperor Zhu snorted in dissatisfaction, "That's right, what do we have to hide from our sister?"

Yang Shaofeng chuckled and said, "To answer my mother-in-law's question, it is a technique for stitching up wounds on the battlefield. It is mainly to demonstrate with Japanese invaders. I don't want to offend your eyes."

Emperor Zhu was immediately greatly displeased.

So you're not afraid of offending your father-in-law's eyes?

That bastard!

Emperor Zhu snorted dismissively, then smiled broadly at Empress Ma and said, "Sister, the wounds stitched up on the battlefield are mostly covered in blood, so there's really no need to look at them."

Empress Ma laughed and said, "Alright, you all go and see. I can just stroll around by myself."

However, the moment Empress Ma turned and left, the smile on Emperor Zhu's face diminished by 90%.

Tsk.

Old Deng's face really changes in an instant.

Yang Shaofeng glanced at Emperor Zhu discreetly, inwardly complaining as he said to Emperor Zhu, "Father-in-law, please."

Emperor Zhu snorted and followed Yang Shaofeng and Yang Qing toward the back of the hospital.

"Your Majesty, this is the backyard of the medical school, where many drugs are tested."

"Many verifications, such as suturing wounds and disinfection, are also done here."

Upon reaching a house, Yang Qing stopped abruptly and said to Emperor Zhu, "There are several Japanese soldiers here who were injured on the construction site. They are excellent materials for verifying wound suturing and disinfection."

"It's a pity one of them was demolished."

Yang Qing then gestured to the room next door, "This is the room in the pharmacy used to extract medicinal herbs."

Berberine was extracted in this room.

"Some time ago, several workers at the construction site contracted dysentery, but they all recovered after taking berberine."

"Unfortunately, one of them was also demolished."

Hearing Yang Qing keep saying "One was demolished, another was demolished," Emperor Zhu wished he could break Zhu Laowu's claws.

If it weren't for that little beast, how could our dignified Emperor of the Ming Dynasty have allowed Yang Qing to act so strangely?

Just as Emperor Zhu was secretly displeased, Yang Qing led him around the rooms and to a secluded little Liaodong.

"This is where the wounded Japanese slaves and Yici Leye people are stored."

"If any commoners of the Ming Dynasty are accidentally injured, they will be housed in other courtyards."

As Yang Qing explained, he led Emperor Zhu into a room.

There were four beds in the room, and a Japanese slave lay on each one.

A strong aroma of wine mixed with medicinal fragrance wafted over.

"These four Japanese soldiers have injuries to their hands and legs."

"It has already been sewn up with catgut."

Yang Qing lifted the clothes off a Japanese soldier, pointed to the wound, and said to Emperor Zhu, "The room has been sprinkled with repeatedly distilled liquor to prevent the wounds of these soldiers from becoming infected and festering."

"In addition, it would be extremely painful to suture directly with needles and catgut, so the wounded must be given anesthesia before suturing."

"..."

Hearing Yang Qing's introduction, Emperor Zhu was excited, but also chuckled dismissively.

It hurts terribly?

It's better to be in excruciating pain than to actually lose your life.

Especially in the military, the survival of even one wounded soldier could potentially change the outcome of a war.

Which is less important?

Which is more important?

As for Yang Qing using the short, wounded soldiers as verification tools... let's not even talk about the fact that these short, wounded soldiers were Japanese pirates themselves. Even if they weren't Japanese pirates, it was still the inspector who did it.

What does this have to do with Yang Qing?

……

"This medical school opened a bit too late."

Emperor Zhu smacked his lips and said, "If it had been opened a few years earlier, I don't know how many excellent doctors could have been trained, and how many soldiers' lives could have been saved."

"Tsk tsk, disinfecting with alcohol and then stitching up the wound with thin thread made from sheep intestines, it's amazing that they dare to think and do it."

"That bastard is truly inhuman."

"First, they used artemisinin and cowpox to lure us into capturing the Japanese invaders."

"Then use sheep intestines to lure us into sending troops to destroy the Yuan and seize sheep."

"He's really shameless, doing whatever he wants."

Empress Ma glanced at Emperor Zhu and said, "If you're so capable, don't fall for it."

Emperor Zhu was taken aback, then stammered, "We weren't fooled. We just feel sorry for the people and the soldiers."

"Otherwise, with that bastard's flawed and cunning schemes, how could he possibly fool us?"

Empress Ma chuckled and then changed the subject.

"The Dengzhou Medical College is already like this."

"What about Dengzhou University?"

After a slight pause, Empress Ma continued, "Most of the students who graduate from medical school will become doctors in the future."

"Does graduating from a metallurgical academy mean one is a master craftsman in the artisan camp?"

"And what about that teachers' college? Is it just for training teachers?"

Emperor Zhu was slightly taken aback, but Empress Ma continued, "We have doctors, master craftsmen, and teachers from all walks of life, but what about officials?"

As Empress Ma finished speaking, Emperor Zhu couldn't help but frown.

Yes.

What about those who are officials?

So, Dengzhou University teaches everything except how to become an official?

After we abolish the imperial examination system, who will serve us like slaves in the imperial court?

But then Emperor Zhu shook his head and said, "No, there are none who hold official positions."

Before Empress Ma could ask, Emperor Zhu began to explain.

"Our Great Ming Dynasty lacks everything, except for those who want to become officials."

"And there's no shortage of people who know how to be officials."

"Even if the imperial examination system is abolished, and various government departments recruit their own staff, these students from Dengzhou University can still participate in the recruitment."

"With the Ministry of Personnel responsible for setting standards and conducting assessments, and the Censorate specifically keeping an eye on the officials, the problems of officials are actually the least of our problems."

"In comparison, this University of Denzhou is more important."

“Especially that teachers’ college.”

"That bastard is right, good seeds produce good seedlings, and good trees bear good peaches."

"Many teachers themselves are morally corrupt; how can they possibly produce good students?"

"With this teachers' college, at least we can guarantee that these teachers won't go too far astray."

Empress Ma hummed in agreement, about to say a few words in response, when a guard outside the door suddenly announced, "Your Majesty, Your Highness, the Imperial Son-in-Law requests an audience."

Emperor Zhu was slightly taken aback and asked, "Didn't this scoundrel just get back?"
