Doctors have been studying the causes of diseases for thousands of years, but they still have no clue. Now Chen Jingke told him the answer in three words:
Bacteria, viruses and trace elements.
If everything he said is true, then the history of medicine will be divided into two stages: before Chen Jingke and after.
The previous yin and yang and five elements, the theory of the unity of man and nature, internal medicine, surgery, digestive system, respiratory system, etc. are all unprecedented discoveries and concepts.
But compared with this discovery, it becomes completely worth mentioning.
The only question is whether what he said is true or false.
Sun Simiao was willing to believe in his disciples, but this was a matter that affected the entire medical field and countless lives, so he had no choice but to be cautious.
Taking a deep breath to suppress his excitement, he said in a trembling voice: "That microscope...can be made with transparent crystal, right?"
Chen Jingke completely understood his mood and said: "With a few more attempts, we should be able to produce a large piece of crystal with high transparency."
Sun Simiao immediately said: "Okay, I will ask your Majesty for a few pieces tomorrow."
What he said was natural, and Chen Jingke didn't think anything was wrong.
"In addition to direct observation with a microscope, these things can also be verified from the side..." Chen Jingke explained to him in detail the principles of hygiene.
By the way, I will tell you a whole set of epidemic prevention knowledge that I have read in my previous life, and organize it into words to form a complete epidemic prevention manual.
This time Chen Jingke really didn't hold anything back and told Sun Simiao all the medical knowledge he knew.
By the way, he also drew an inaccurate human anatomy diagram based on his memory to help him deepen his memory.
The two not only talked about medical skills, but also talked about promotion issues.
Chen Jingke was full of complaints about the promotion of medical skills in ancient times: "It takes ten years to work behind closed doors. Medical skills still focus on the accumulation of experience, but how many people can one person treat even if he doesn't eat or drink?"
"The most important thing is communication. Only by exchanging experiences can we make progress together. The current situation is that each company treasures its own brooms, and if you make some discoveries, treat them as family heirlooms."
"The result is that the development of medical skills is slow, and sometimes even regresses."
"But we can't blame them entirely. It's still a problem with the imperial court. Now the imperial court restricts people's lives. You have to go through dozens of procedures to get approval before leaving the house."
"Even if someone wants to pass on his medical skills to others, he has nowhere to go. He can't stand on the street and shout, who is willing to learn my medical skills? It would be strange if others don't regard him as a fool."
"Ahem..." Sun Simiao glanced at the back wall subconsciously, coughed dryly and said: "The imperial court also has its difficulties, so don't say this again."
Chen Jingke sighed: "Let me tell you something. How dare you say it in front of outsiders? I can be chopped into pieces and fed to the dogs if I make a false comment about the court."
Then he became excited again and said: "This is another reason why I want to build Zixiaoguan. Not only is it our foothold, but we can also open a medical school here."
Sun Simiao asked in confusion: "What is medical school?"
Chen Jingke said enthusiastically: "It's like a school where many children are recruited to learn medical skills... Well, we can also cooperate with other Taoist temples and we can help them train Taoist priests who know medical skills."
"It will be very convenient for Taoist priests to teach when they learn medical skills, and they can also treat people. In this way, every Taoist temple will be a medical center. How many people can be saved?"
"When our medical school becomes stronger, we can also invite famous doctors from all over the world to exchange knowledge and promote the development of medical skills... This is simply a great merit."
Sun Simiao quickly stopped him and said, "Wait a minute, where are you from, sir?"
Chen Jingke said: "Isn't it because you are here? Master, you alone can stand up to a hundred teachers, and there will be no problem in bringing along a hundred students."
But Sun Simiao shook his head repeatedly and said: "No, studying medicine is a very important thing. If you are not careful, you may cause death. Taking three or five students is the limit."
Chen Jingke said: "That's because you haven't found a suitable teaching method. If you rely solely on words and deeds, the efficiency will naturally be low. Let's change our thinking..."
He took what he had learned from his previous school and compiled general textbooks that went from simple to advanced. He first asked students to follow the textbooks, and then memorize various cases once they had a solid foundation.
The end of the study period is the internship period. You can go to the countryside to do free clinics, or you can go to the medical school for treatment of minor patients.
"We can also open several medical clinics affiliated with medical schools to treat people at low or even free prices, and students can go here for internships."
Sun Simiao couldn't help but admire his fantastic idea. This method is indeed very feasible, but there are still problems:
"What you said is very good, but the stall is so big that I can't handle it even if I have the cloning technique. I still need a lot of teachers."
Chen Jingke said: "You can pay to hire a doctor, as long as the money is enough and there are people who are willing to come, let them help you to look after the students."
"I can also invite the royal doctors from the Royal Hospital to give lectures. They can't help but give me face, right? If that doesn't work, I'll beg Your Majesty. He is a wise king and will definitely support me."
Sun Simiao continued: "Even if you are right, it will take a lot of money to do what you said. Where will the money come from?"
Chen Jingke said confidently: "Don't worry about money. I have plenty of ways to make money. We will start making money when the Taoist temple is built."
Seeing that he was so confident, Sun Simiao did not ask any more questions. He also wanted to see what step this apprentice could achieve. If he could really achieve what was mentioned above, it would be a great merit.
…
Soon a thicker secret letter was placed on Li Shimin's desk. After reading it, he said, "Is there no news from Yao Yangyun?"
Ren Feng replied: "Replying to Your Majesty, Yao Guard has just received news. He found out that Xiao Zhenren appeared next to Sun Zhenren half a year ago."
"According to people who have met him, he had a weird accent and unusual behavior at that time, which caused many misunderstandings."
Li Shimin said dissatisfied: "I have known this information for a long time, but where was it half a year ago? Where is he from, and how did he appear in Taibai Mountain?"
Ren Feng bent down a little more and said, "Your Majesty, please forgive me, but I haven't found out the information from half a year ago. Guard Yao said that he is going to personally lead people into Taibai Mountain to find out."
Li Shimin was about to say something, when suddenly his heart moved, he picked up the letter and read it again, then showed a thoughtful expression, and after a long time he said:
"Tell Yao Yunyang, don't worry and just look for it slowly."
"Here." Ren Feng didn't know why the emperor changed his attention again, but he didn't have any idea of understanding, and said without squinting.
"By the way, find all the clear crystals in the inner treasury. I will be of great use."
"Here."
"Go ahead."
After Ren Feng left, the expression on Li Shimin's face became solemn.
"Viruses, bacteria...the unity of nature and man...these things cannot be studied by one or two people. It must have taken a group of people decades or even hundreds of years to make it possible."
"Is there such a hidden force in the world? Why has there never been any news before? Chen Jingke, Chen Jingke, what do you think I should do with you?"
