He Yan, who was in Xuchang, didn't know that Boss Cao on the front line had already had the idea of "suffering" for him. Instead, he enthusiastically helped Boss Cao pick up customers.
"Hua Tuo, a common man, met Marquis Shen and Ling Xuchang."
"No gift."
After ten months of searching, Hua Tuo was finally found by Cao Cao's servants and brought back to Xuchang.
The Hua Tuo that He Yan saw now had cool skin, not many wrinkles between his brows, and bright eyes. Even his legs and feet were no worse than those of young people. Coupled with his simple green clothes, He Yan was sure that he was not looking for Hua Tuo. Wrong person.
Next to Hua Tuo was a middle-aged schoolboy carrying a bamboo basket. This man's name was Wu Pu, and he was Hua Tuo's medical disciple.
"Marquis Shen, may I ask who is suffering from the disease that made Sikong look for me so eagerly?"
Hua Tuo didn't know the reason why Cao Cao called him. He only thought that one of Cao Cao's family members was seriously ill, so he rushed over to perform medical treatment to save people.
Naturally, He Yan refused to say that he was calling Hua Tuo to teach Cao Jie his medical skills. Otherwise, given Hua Tuo's temperament, he would most likely walk away and never enter Xuchang in this life.
"Hua Shanggong (an honorific title for those with superb medical skills), this time it is not because a patient is sick, nor is Sikong recruiting you intentionally, but I heard about Hua Shanggong's medical skills when I was in Lujiang, so I asked Sikong to invite you here."
"Um?"
Hua Tuo was slightly unhappy after hearing He Yan's explanation.
In this era, the status of doctors is actually not high.
Even Hua Tuo himself was often ashamed of "making his profession a profession". Now seeing that He Yan had called him here not to treat patients, he thought that He Yan was just treating him as a rare thing to appreciate.
"Marquis Shen, since there are no patients, why call the common people here?"
Hua Tuo suppressed his embarrassment: "Do you know, Lord Shen, that the common people came from Guangling in a hurry, and how long were they delayed on the road? If all these days were used to save people, how many people could be saved? If it was just because they wanted to It is really a great crime to ignore the common people and prevent their lives from being treated!"
In other words, Hua Tuo saw He Yan's high position and did not dare to use vulgar words, otherwise he would have started scolding him long ago.
"Hua Shanggong calms down his anger."
He Yan did not feel angry because he was accused by Hua Tuo, because he knew that what Hua Tuo said was indeed the truth.
With Hua Tuo's ability, not only hundreds of people could be treated in these days, but at least dozens of people would be treated without any problem.
It is indeed a sin for a famous doctor of this level to lose time for treatment because he is in a hurry.
"But Hua Shanggong, even if you spend your whole life treating patients, how many people can you save?"
Hearing He Yan's words, Hua Tuo only thought that He Yan was still mocking, and said even more unhappy: "No matter how many people can be saved, as long as the common people are still alive, they will definitely choose to save the common people!"
"How many people can be treated?"
He Yan doesn't want to talk about morality when discussing issues. It's meaningless.
Hua Tuo licked his lips slightly: "It's hard to tell people who suffer from difficult and complicated diseases. If it's an ordinary case, it can treat more than five people in one day!"
He Yan nodded lightly: "Then Hua Shanggong can treat six people in one day."
"Six people a day, only 180 people in a month, and only more than 2,000 people in a year."
"Let's just assume that Hua Shanggong has a long life and can live another hundred years, which is only 200,000 people."
"Although two hundred thousand people are many, how many compared to the common people in the world?"
"What's more, people can't get sick only once in their lives, and not everyone can be lucky enough to have Hua Shanggong... After all, can Hua Shanggong save tens of thousands of people in his lifetime?"
Hearing that He Yan's tone was always calm, Hua Tuo finally knew that He Yan was not teasing him, so he calmed down and asked, "What does Marquis Shen mean by telling me this?"
He Yan did not directly state his purpose, but wanted Hua Tuo to "sell" the new learning: "Has Hua Shanggong heard of the new learning?"
"I've heard a little bit about it."
Xinxue has become extremely famous recently. Hua Tuo had heard of it several times when he was a guest of dignitaries and members of a Confucian family.
"It's just that ordinary people are not scholars who study knowledge after all, and they don't study the new learning deeply."
This answer did not exceed He Yan's expectations, so He Yan asked again: "Does Huashang Gong know that one of the pursuits recently proposed by Xinxue is "rejuvenation"?"
Confusion appeared in Hua Tuo's eyes: "What is revival?"
He Yan saw that Hua Tuo was interested in taking the bait, so he didn't mind explaining the meaning of "revival" to him.
"In the ancient Western Zhou Dynasty, all the workers had official positions, such as Huchen, Fu, Zuma, Xiaochen, Shanfu, etc. At that time, these old officials were not as they are now.
Being so despised by the scholars, even when the Western Zhou Dynasty was enfeoffing the princes, these people were all granted titles and became states."
Except for those nobles from the previous dynasty with the "Ji surname" bloodline and the "Two Kings and Three Kes", the professions of the other princes are actually quite eye-catching.
For example, the ancestor of the Qin State, Zaofu, drove a carriage for King Mu of Zhou.
Xiong Yi, the ancestor of Chu State, was a servant of King Wen and King Wu of Zhou.
Others include cooks, potters, blacksmiths...
Although the ancestors of these princes only served the Emperor of Zhou, this did not prevent He Yan and Xin Xue from "distorting" it.
The result of the "misinterpretation" is that all professions are not superior or inferior.
In this way, we return to the core concept of Xinxue - freedom.
What He Yan wants to tell Hua Tuo now is - "New learning does not discriminate against doctors!"
"What New Learning pursues is revival, but in the final analysis, what it pursues is equality."
"Instead of "saving people," Hua Shanggong would rather "save the world." This is the true benevolence of a doctor."
Hua Tuo blinked desperately below, and said with some uncertainty: "Marquis Shen... This pursuit of new learning sounds really good, but... Caomin is just a doctor, and "healing people" is actually quite good. This "save the world"
Are you farther away from me?"
"Not far."
At this moment, He Yan asked with 70% sincerity and 30% acting skills: "As far as I know, Hua Shanggong is not only a "disease doctor", but also a "ulcer doctor"?"
Upon hearing He Yan's question, Hua Tuo's face suddenly turned extremely pale.
The so-called "disease doctor", in layman's terms, is a "physician".
The opposite of "ulcer doctor" is naturally "surgeon".
Due to the Confucian teachings, which stress a "parent who cares about the body, hair and skin", damaging the body is actually not accepted by the world.
Therefore, "ulcer medicine" is still a "taboo" to a certain extent and cannot be discussed in public, lest people label it as "unfilial."
"Don't worry, Hua Shanggong. I have read medical books in my early years and know that "disease doctors" cannot cure all diseases. On the contrary, "ulcer doctors" know more about the human body and can provide timely treatment and make people recover."
"It's just Hua Shanggong. Whenever you have to dissect a corpse... you should always encounter some inconvenience, right?"
Hua Tuo's mood was as high and low as a galloping horse after hearing He Yan's few words.
At first, when He Yan pointed out his identity as a "bad doctor", Hua Tuo thought He Yan wanted to use this to punish him.
But when He Yan said that he understood him, Hua Tuo felt happy for no reason.
till the end.
When He Yan said "it's a bit inconvenient", Hua Tuo immediately turned red with bitterness.
Those eyes were full of grievance and disbelief.
It's more than just "some inconvenience"? It's simply "a thousand difficulties and dangers"!
In order to understand the human body, Hua Tuo often went to random graveyards alone to steal corpses. If he was accidentally caught, he would be severely beaten.
That is to say, with the frequent wars and famines in recent years, Hua Tuo can be helped to find enough "general teachers". Otherwise, if Hua Tuo digs graves every day, he will be beaten to death by his family members sooner or later.
Hua Tuo himself couldn't help crying when he thought of these sad past events.
How could Hua Tuo not be surprised when he suddenly heard He Yan reveal the secret in his heart?
"Dissecting the human body is certainly not tolerated by the world."
"But it is indeed the best shortcut to understand the human body."
He Yan stared into Hua Tuo's eyes: "Be down-to-earth, don't cheat, use "practice" to draw conclusions, and use "rationality" to summarize the rules. This is actually the new principle."
"Hua Shanggong keeps saying he doesn't understand "new learning," but in fact, he has gone further than many people on the path of new learning."
Hua Tuo had mixed feelings in his heart at this moment.
Throughout his medical career, he had heard too many affirmations about his medical career, but all the affirmations combined did not make him feel as happy as this moment.
What Hua Tuo was happy about was not He Yan's recognition of his status. After all, if Hua Tuo really cared about status and wealth, he wouldn't have been killed by Cao Cao. (In historical fact, the real reason why Hua Tuo was killed by Cao Cao was
Because Hua Tuo lied that his wife was seriously ill and refused to work for Cao Cao, and then Cao Cao found out and killed him)
What he really cares about is He Yan's spiritual recognition of him.
This recognition is unclear, but it is as joyful as a lonely goose finally finding a flock of geese.
Hua Tuo's upper and lower lips kept trembling, and tears almost burst out of his eyes.
"Marquis Shen, is this... really what you have in mind?"
"It's not what I think in my heart, it's a newly learned principle."
Seeing Hua Tuo like this, He Yan stepped forward and held Hua Tuo's hand: "New learning, it should not belong to anyone; in other words, it belongs to everyone who believes in it."
"But it's a pity that the current soil of Xinxue is still a bit narrow after all, and it can't spread anywhere else."
"If Hua Shanggong doesn't mind it, he can stay here and continue his research on "ulcer medicine."
"There aren't many others in Xuchang, but there are still a lot of death row prisoners. It's definitely enough for Hua Shanggong to do research here."
The bodies of soldiers who died in battle must not be given to Hua Tuo.
But it doesn't matter to He Yan whether he's on death row or anything like that.
Especially among the death row inmates in Xuchang, they were all prisoners who had been tried by Lu Xun and then reported to the police themselves. There were basically no innocent people.
By bringing their bodies to Hua Tuo, Hua Tuo no longer had to go to the barren mountains and dig graves alone.
"I know that the doctors at Huashang Gong are kind-hearted, but as I said before, if you follow the procedure step by step and treat patients casually, you won't be able to save many people in your lifetime."
"It's better that you study hard in Xuchang, and then teach the medical skills to others and let them rescue the doctors."
Speaking of this, He Yan settled the accounts with Hua Tuo again.
"If Hua Shanggong can train ten qualified doctors in a year, even if they are not as good as Hua Shanggong and can only treat one person a day, then they can still treat more people than Hua Shanggong himself."
"So, what does Hua Shanggong think?"
In addition to spiritual encouragement, He Yan is also shabby materially——
"From now on, Huashang Gong can get ten catties of gold and one thousand bolts of cloth every year. If it's not enough, you can continue to ask for it."
"At the same time, every time Hua Shanggong accepts a disciple, I, He Yan, will give a pound of gold as a reimbursement for the disciple's food, clothing, housing and transportation."
After He Yan finished saying this, not to mention Hua Tuo, even Wu Pu, the disciple next to Hua Tuo, had his eyes straightened!
One pound of gold is equivalent to 10,000 yuan according to the government exchange rate.
Now, due to the depreciation of the five baht dollar, the exchange rate has basically reached 20,000 yuan.
You can get 20,000 yuan for one student, but what about a hundred students? What about a thousand students?
For a moment, both master and disciple were shocked by He Yan's wealth.
It doesn't matter to He Yan.
When other science and technology had not yet developed, medicine, and biology as an extension of medicine, was almost the only field that He Yan could invest in.
As for money...if Hua Tuo could really recruit 10,000 disciples, then He Yan would probably wake up laughing in his dreams.
Ten thousand disciples only cost 200 million and a half baht.
Two hundred and fifty baht sounds like a lot, but if you can exchange it for 10,000 scholars who have received "practical education", "anatomy education", and "medical education", it is almost equivalent to having "new learning" directly.
With a solid fundamentals, this deal is simply not a good deal!
Hua Tuo swallowed softly, and the politeness inherent in Chinese people appeared on him: "No need, no need."
"No! It's necessary!"
On the basis of moral support and material support, He Yan also gave Hua Tuo a third kind of support——
Technical Support!
He Yan took out a "medical book" he had written long ago and handed it to Hua Tuo calmly.
"These are small experiments I did when I was bored during the march. Hua Shanggong can see if they help."
Hua Tuo had long been dazzled by He Yan's wealth and wealth, so he didn't pay much attention when he got He Yan's "medical book".
It was not until He Yan hosted a banquet for Hua Tuo and sent Hua Tuo to Hewu to rest that Hua Tuo had time to read this medical book in the dim light.
But Hua Tuo just glanced at it and he jumped up in shock!
I saw this medical book clearly stated at the beginning:
"Human blood seems to have yin and yang."
"If blood from the same sex is transfused into each other, the human body will be fine. But if blood from the opposite sex is transfused, the human body will suffer from fever and coma at worst, or immediate death at worst."
"It has been verified that human blood has yin, yang, yin and yang, and there is no blood with four attributes. These four types of blood are injected into the human body, and people are fine!"
Hua Tuo looked at these few simple words, as if he had directly opened the door to a new world: "This is... a method of curing dead people with flesh and bones?"
