Chapter 38 Medicine King Sun Simiao

The beauty of April in the human world is gone, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple are beginning to bloom.

Yun Ye spent a lot of money to plant the peach blossom grove in the back hill of the academy. At that time, many people in Chang'an City laughed at him for being a prodigal son, but now it has created a unique beauty in the academy.

This day is the Spring Festival holiday and coincides with the Qingming Festival. The college has a three-day long holiday. Most of the students and teachers have gone home. Only Qin Hao and Yun Ye are still staying in the college to have some leisure time.

"Senior brother, you are meditating here with your eyes closed in this beautiful scenery of peach blossoms in full bloom. Isn't it too disgraceful?"

In fact, Yun Ye has never understood why his senior brother always likes to meditate when he has nothing to do. As a time traveler, he is a staunch atheist. He has never believed in Yuan Tiangang's Taoist rhetoric about ascending through Qi training, nor

I hope Qin Hao is addicted to it.

Qin Hao didn't move his eyelids and said calmly: "The peach blossoms you see are in front of your eyes, and the peach blossoms I see are in my heart."

Qin Hao didn't say this casually, he was just imagining peach blossoms.

The Taoist contemplation method and the meridians of the Neijing Jing can be carried out at the same time. This was an accidental discovery by Qin Hao.

However, the combination of the two does not actually have a magical effect, nor does it promote the accelerated increase of Qi. It just makes people feel more energetic and focused.

"Senior brother, we are also materialists after all. Why are you still following Yuan Tiangang's tricks?" Yun Ye curled his lips.

Qin Hao slowly opened his eyes: "We have traveled to the Tang Dynasty, so we are still talking about materialism. Science is just an inductive discipline that extracts universal laws and principles through observation, recording, analysis, and demonstration of experience, and

Can't explain everything."

"When a thing is not proved to be impossible, it cannot be summarized as non-existence, such as..."

"Like what?"

Just when Yun Ye was wondering why Qin Hao didn't continue talking, he heard a voice coming from outside the peach forest.

"Qin County man, Yun County man, there is news about the person you are looking for."

After a while, an old Taoist priest appeared in front of Yun Ye. Yun Ye looked at Qin Hao with some surprise. He was sure that Qin Hao's pause was because he was aware of the outsider approaching before Yuan Tiangang shouted, or was he aware of the approach of outsiders in advance.

Simple coincidence?

Seeing Yuan Tiangang's anxious look, Yun Ye waved to him.

"Oh? Have you found a suitable person to come to the academy to be a medical teacher?"

Yuan Tiangang took a sip of tea, took a breath, and then scratched his head in embarrassment: "I found the person, but he still has some concerns."

In ancient times, there was no intellectual property rights. In order to prevent others from learning their "unique skills" and stealing their own jobs, they naturally wanted to hide them for a lifetime. If there were no heirs to inherit them, they would rather put them in a coffin than teach them to outsiders.

"Oh? How is this man's medical skills?" Yun Ye asked after pondering for a moment.

Yuan Tiangang said with a proud look: "In the entire Tang Dynasty, when it comes to medical skills, he ranks second, and no one dares to rank first."

"Is it that exaggerated..." Before Yun Ye finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something and grabbed Yuan Tiangang's arm: "Is the person you are talking about called Sun Simiao?"

"It's Taoist Sun."

"Then what are you waiting for? Take us to find him quickly. Even if we visit the thatched cottage three times, we still have to bring him to our academy."

In this way, Yuan Tiangang was pulled by Yun Ye all the way to the entrance of the academy. The two sat in the same car. Qin Hao was also very curious about this legendary medicine king, so he rode on Chi Yue and followed him.

The group of people arrived at the outskirts of Chang'an City. Seeing Qin Hao's luxurious clothes, the surrounding people consciously moved out of the way.

Yun Ye covered his mouth and nose, and the further he walked towards the place where the crowd gathered, the stronger the damp and rotten smell became. The road was dirty and black water flowed across it.

Finally, the carriage stopped outside a small courtyard. Qin Hao got off the horse and Yun Ye was about to enter the courtyard, but found that it was already overcrowded.

At the end of the courtyard is a middle-aged Taoist priest in his forties, wearing a black Taoist robe, who is diagnosing the pulse of a patient.

"Is he Sun Simiao?" Yun Ye was a little doubtful. In his impression, Sun Simiao should be an old god with a celestial spirit. He didn't look very old.

Before Yuan Tiangang could answer, all the patients in the queue turned back to stare at him.

"You young man is so rude that you even called Sun Shenxian by his first name."

Yun Ye bowed and explained for a while, and then he got everyone's understanding.

After finally squeezing to the front, Yuan Tiangang, who was originally dressed as a fairy, was already in a mess, and said to Sun Simiao with a look of embarrassment.

"Fellow Daoist Sun, can you lend me a moment to speak?"

However, Sun Simiao directly shook his head and refused: "If Fellow Daoist Yuan is here because of what happened last time, please come back. With so many patients here, I really don't have time to go to the academy to play with those noble children."

"What Taoist Master Sun said is wrong."

Qin Hao deliberately used the "tiger and leopard thunder sound" when he spoke. Although his voice was not loud, everyone in the whole yard could really hear it.

"Boy, what nonsense are you talking about? How could what Sun Shenxian said be wrong?"

"That's right, you dare to criticize Sun Shenxian even before your hair is fully grown."

For a moment, the crowd was excited. If it weren't for Qin Hao's gorgeous clothes and extraordinary demeanor, they would probably be talking more than just words.

Sun Simiao was not affected by the crowd. Instead, he asked curiously: "Who are you and why do you say that the old ways are absurd?"

Yuan Tiangang quickly introduced: "Fellow Daoist Sun, this is a man from Qin County, and the man next to him is a man from Yun County, and he is also a gentleman from Yushan Academy."

Sun Simiao was obviously a little surprised that the two of them were so young, but then he became more certain that Yushan Academy was a nonsense of the noble children. At such an age, even in the countryside, people are too young to be enlightened. How much real talent and learning can they have?

In fact, when he learned that Yuan Tiangang also taught in the academy, he had no good impression of the academy.

Although Sun Simiao is also a Taoist priest, he has never believed in Yuan Tiangang's teachings. For him, Taoism is more about cultivating one's moral character, rather than learning from Buddhism and deceiving believers to make huge profits.

Qin Hao first saluted Sun Simiao as a courtesy to the "King of Medicine", but his next words were not so polite.

"How many patients can Daozhang Sun treat here in one day?"

Sun Simiao thought for a while: "For mild cases, there should be twenty or thirty, and for severe cases, there should be ten or twenty."

"Daozhang Sun's compassion is indeed admirable, but a person's power will always be exhausted. How many diseases can he cure even if he is exhausted in his lifetime? But he doesn't know that it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish?"

Seeing that Qin Hao spoke clearly and clearly, Sun Simiao put away some of his contempt, but still shook his head.

"Male from Qin County, let me ask you, what is your status as an academy student?"

"They are all noble sons." Qin Hao did not hide it.

Sun Simiao nodded: "Even if we are noble disciples, even if they are taught all their medical skills by experts, how many of them can treat the diseases of these common people?"

At this time, Yun Ye was also asked. Yes, in ancient times, although doctors were not considered a lowly profession, their status was definitely not high. The worst students in the academy were the sons of earls. Even if they were bastards, their status was quite noble.

Now, let them go to treat people after graduation, and then those nobles will not be able to cause trouble to him?

"What the Taoist said is not unreasonable, but next semester the academy will open the medical department specifically to civilian children, and there will be quotas for the medical department every year in the future. Even if the Taoist teaches ten people a year, ten years later it will be

A hundred good doctors, wouldn’t they treat many more patients than the Taoist priest here?”

Yun Ye knew that this was his senior brother's quick wit. As Sun Simiao said, no noble son would be willing to be a doctor. If the medical department wants to open, it must recruit from civilians.

Just thinking about the academy's expansion of enrollment next semester gave him a headache. He had already agreed to more than sixty places for generals such as Xue Wanche. Some time ago, he also agreed to accept civil servants like Du Ruhui and accept their children. Calculated, at least

There are one hundred and thirty people, and if we add the medical department, there will be at least twenty people.

One hundred and fifty people, suddenly more than twice the number of students before, posed a huge challenge to the academy's teachers, accommodation, meals, and management.

"Alas, my summer vacation has been wasted like this!" Yun Ye lamented.

After hearing this, Sun Simiao stood up immediately and stared at Qin Hao with sharp eyes: "Isn't the man from Qin County using big words to deceive the old Taoist?"

"Sir, you are a righteous man. How can I dare to lie? When school starts in September, if Mr. Sun finds that there are no civilians in the academy, he can just throw away and leave. I will have no complaints." Qin Hao bowed deeply to Sun Simiao.

"I'm busy today, so I'll visit Yushan Academy another day." Sun Simiao also returned the courtesy politely.

"In that case, I won't bother you anymore and take my leave."

"I won't send you far."

When Qin Hao and his entourage came out, there was already a lot of crying and howling in the courtyard, and everyone was begging Sun Simiao not to leave.

On the way back, Yun Ye said to Qin Hao with some worry: "Isn't it a little too hasty to let civilians enroll in school next semester?"

"We have to take this step anyway. It doesn't make any difference if it's earlier or later. Besides, it's easier to turn around now that the boat is small." Qin Hao said calmly.

"Then let's have a meeting after the Qingming Festival, when Mr. Yushan and the others come back."

"Um."

Speaking of Qingming, Yun Ye suddenly thought of something and slapped his forehead.

"I almost forgot, senior brother, grandma said that she would bring Master's memorial tablet to the ancestral hall tomorrow, and invites you to come with her."

When Yuan Tiangang heard this, he immediately became excited and expressed that he could host the ceremony in person.

Qin Hao and Yun Ye looked at each other and smiled bitterly. This time they shot themselves in the foot. They made up a master out of thin air, but they took it seriously. It seems that they have to knock their heads off and cannot escape.

Sure enough, the next day, the Yun Mansion changed from its usual fun and solemn atmosphere, so that the usually naughty little girl did not dare to mess around, and she knelt down in the ancestral hall with her sisters obediently.

There are five animals placed in front of the desk, namely cow, sheep, pig, dog and chicken.

Qin Hao and Yun Ye successively offered incense and kowtowed to the so-called "master", and respectfully placed the tablet of "his old man" in the second to last row in the center of the ancestral hall. According to Grandma Yun, "Xiaoyaozi" is Yun

The family has saved the only male Ding Xianghuo, and his hard work and merit are as great as those of his ancestors. From now on, the Yun family should remember the great kindness of "Xiaoyaozi" from generation to generation.

Lying is the most helpless thing in the world, because a lie needs to be filled with countless lies. I don't know if the descendants of the Yun family know that this "Xiaoyaozi" who has always enjoyed the incense of the Yun family was made up by someone casually.

, what would you think?

After finally finishing her busy work, Mrs. Yun enthusiastically stayed with Qin Hao for dinner. Soon, the day passed.

After a while, old gentlemen like Li Gang and Yushan also returned to the academy, and Yun Ye summoned everyone to Taolin for a meeting.

The proposal to recruit civilian children was unanimously approved by the senior gentlemen. Only Yuan Tiangang abstained from voting. He actually hopes that the academy can maintain the status quo. After all, he came here to form a good relationship with these noble children.

Taught in the academy.

Although everyone except Yuan Tiangang abstained from voting, everyone still had differences on the enrollment quota and how to recruit students, and the differences were not small.

According to Qin Hao and Yun Ye's ideas, in the new batch of enrollment, it is enough to have 20 or 30 civilian children.

But the old gentlemen like Yushan felt that twenty or thirty people were too few, and they had to be at least half of the noble disciples.

"However, we don't have enough teachers. For the rest, except for me and my senior brother, it's hard to find suitable teachers for the two subjects of object detection and arithmetic." Yun Ye said with a bitter smile.

It's okay to lead one class. If according to what Li Gang and others said, the academy will directly recruit more than 200 students next semester, there will be at least four classes, which means five classes. If one class has one class every day, it will be too much.

It's fatal.

"In terms of arithmetic, we can find someone to help you. How about you two senior fellow apprentices teach Quwu together. As for the future, after this group of students graduates, we can leave a few who are good at Quwu to help you."

Li Gang waved his hand nonchalantly.

Qin Hao and Yun Ye looked at each other and had no objection. Originally, according to their idea, they would find a few graduates to serve as teaching assistants and let them teach physics science to lower-grade students until they had accumulated enough teaching experience.

, then start from headband to graduation.

Another issue is how to recruit students. According to Yun Ye's idea, as long as the news about the academy's enrollment is released, many civilian children will take the initiative to sign up.

But this idea was immediately rejected by Li Gang and others.

"Right now, the reputation of the academy is only spread among the imperial court. If you really do what you do, the people who will come in the end will be the children of wealthy businessmen and gentry families. Commoner students will still not be allowed to enroll."

When Yun Ye thought about it, it seemed to be the truth. People's information often lagged behind. Even in the Internet era, there were still information barriers, not to mention that this was still the Tang Dynasty.

"Otherwise, we should take advantage of the summer vacation to go to various prefectures and counties in person to look for talented civilians." Qin Hao proposed a plan.

"Well, that's a very good thing to say."
