When Meton arrived at the Women's Medical College, he found that the problem was much more serious than what Zi Yi had described. Not only did the Mo's Village account for more than half of the enrollment of female nurses, but they also accounted for more than one-tenth of the enrollment of female doctors.
"The Mo's Village is too blatant!"
"Yes, it's the Women's Medical College organized by Doctor Sun. How dare the Mo's Village put people in it privately!"
"This is blatant cheating!"
"No wonder Mo Jiazi proposed such a high condition. It turns out that he prepared it for his own family!"
…
…
…
Outside the Women's Medical College, there was a hubbub of voices and people were talking about it. Especially the families who failed the examination blamed the Mo's Village.
"Senior Hua, Senior Sun!"
In Mo Hospital, Meton ran to them breathlessly.
"Meton, what's the matter? Why do so many people from the Mo's Village come to take the examination? "Sun Simiao asked seriously.
Meton also smiled bitterly and explained to Sun Simiao in a low voice.
Sun Simiao was also speechless. He didn't expect that Meton had a hidden card. And even he himself didn't expect that so many women would be willing to apply for the Women's Medical College.
"You mean these girls of the Mo's Village are admitted by their own ability?" Sun Simiao asked.
"Senior Sun, others may not know it, but you know it clearly. The examination questions were set by you, and the examination papers were marked by your disciples. When they were admitted, they were admitted by the highest score. How could there be any possibility of cheating?" Meton explained with a wry smile.
Sun Simiao thought about all the rules of the admission of the Women's Medical College and found that there was no possibility of cheating.
Now everything was surprisingly smooth. The only problem was that too many people were admitted by the Mo's Village. Sun Simiao was also in a dilemma. In order to support the Women's Medical College, Meton invited all the girls of the right age in the whole village to support him. He couldn't say that he wanted to sacrifice the Mo's Village.
"Master, now the Women's Medical College has been in an uproar! If it goes on like this, I'm afraid there will be trouble before the opening of the Medical College. "A very ordinary-looking woman in her thirties hurriedly came over.
This woman was none other than Sun Simiao's eldest disciple, Hong Yao. She was also the only one who had persisted in visiting patients for several months. In the end, she couldn't withstand the pressure from her husband's family and gave up.
Meton had spent a lot of effort to get her to come out of retirement. He had spent five hundred strings of cash and a house in Chang 'an just to convince Hong Yao's in-laws.
"Meton, no matter what you do, you have to settle this matter. The female doctor is the key to the prosperity of the medical school. You can't afford to lose her," Hua Yuan said solemnly.
Everyone knew that female doctors played a very important role. Previously, due to the lack of conditions and environment, the number of female doctors eventually declined. But now, with the support of His Majesty and the good conditions of Mo Hospital, they could not miss this opportunity no matter what. If they really could not, they could only sacrifice the Mo Family Village.
Meton pondered for a while and thought about the crisis public relations in the future. Then he said, "First of all, post the examination papers of the Village of Mo's Village and the examination papers of the girls who failed the examination. Then we can prove the innocence of the Village of Mo's Village."
Sun Simiao and Hua Yuan nodded. Making it public could indeed dispel people's doubts.
"In addition, there is another reason for this phenomenon. We estimated that the number of people who signed up was insufficient, so the number of people who were admitted was also small. Now that we finally have so many students, can we recruit more?" Hua Yuan suggested.
Sun Simiao's eyes also lit up. This was a good idea. After all, with the urgent need for female doctors, it would not be enough even if they recruited more.
"That won't do!" Meton hurriedly stopped them.
"Why not?" Hua Yuan was puzzled.
"Being a doctor is the most rigorous profession. If we recruit more students, it will cause a mix of good and bad. I'm afraid that the reputation of the Women's Medical School that we worked so hard to build will be destroyed. If we persist in the spirit of striving for excellence and pick the best out of the best, even if it is a little difficult, we will be able to build the Women's Medical School in the end," Meton rejected.
Sun Simiao also nodded seriously. His questions were simple enough, but these girls still couldn't answer them. It showed that they really had a poor foundation. Even if they were forced to train them, they might get half the result with twice the effort.
"But for some girls who are willing to learn female medicine, we can train them first. If they can really meet the standard, then we will recruit them into the Women's Medical School!" Meton thought about the preparatory course in the future and proposed a compromise.
After all, in this era, the cultural foundation of women was too poor. It was better to train them by themselves first. If it were not for the conditions, Meton even wanted to use the three plus two model in the future. The cultural and professional courses would be carried out at the same time. It was estimated that the effect would be better, but it was too time-consuming and laborious.
"This is a feasible way!" Sun Simiao's eyes lit up. In this way, they could not only maintain the quality of the Women's Medical School, but also cultivate the back-up talents for the Women's Medical School, and solve the current dilemma.
Meton thought for a while and said, "In addition, before the examination of the Women's Medical School, I originally thought that there would be few people, so I planned to use the sisters of the Mo's Village to make a contribution to the Women's Medical School. I have already expected some criticisms, so I asked Mochi to make an issue of the Mo's Magazine to explain it in advance. Now it seems that I can't wait, so I have to release it as a special issue."
After hearing Meton's plan, Sun Simiao looked at Meton in surprise and said with a long sigh, "I finally know how the Mo's Village has developed so much in such a short time. Meton, I believe that the Women's Medical School will succeed because you are so cautious."
…
As the examination papers were gradually posted, the enthusiasm outside the Women's Medical School gradually subsided. Compared with the examination papers, this time the Women's Medical School adopted a 100-point system, so it was clear at a glance who got how many points.
"Mom, I deserve to be defeated this time. I really didn't score as well as the people of the Mo's Village!" A girl in light blue looked at her score and said to the middle-aged woman beside her with tears in her eyes.
In fact, her score almost reached the admission line, but her mother was very weak and sick. She originally thought that after being admitted to the Women's Medical School, her mother could get better treatment from the Mo Hospital.
According to the publicity of the Mo's Magazine, the students of the Women's Medical School, whether they were female doctors or female assistants, could get treatment from their mothers at half price, which was even more preferential than the students of the Imperial College. The girl in blue used to be literate, but after her mother fell ill, she had fallen behind with books for too long.
"Don't worry, my child. It's not too late to take the examination next time!" The middle-aged mother comforted her.
"But, mom, your condition …" The girl in blue said anxiously.
At this time, there was a commotion at the gate of the Women's Medical School. The mother and the daughter looked at the gate at once.
"Preparatory course?"
The mother and the daughter looked at the newly posted notice with wet ink, and the name of the girl in light blue was on the list. They burst into tears of joy at once.
