While Baoli was nervously preparing for the ham auction, Sun Xingzheng was talking to Lin Miao about letting her serve as the general manager of Xinghe Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Because Lin Miao has seen the market, he is more suitable for high-end medical careers that deal with dignitaries, rich and famous people.
Xinghe Traditional Chinese Medicine Company will acquire a traditional Chinese medicine medical institution in Imperial Capital. It will also establish a traditional Chinese medicine training institution in Imperial Capital.
Xinghe Traditional Chinese Medicine targets high-end customers.
In addition to the hospital, they are also preparing to establish a Xinghetang Chinese medicine pharmaceutical company, which mainly provides Chinese medicinal materials and Chinese patent medicine products. It also provides medical equipment and tools of traditional Chinese medicine.
The current traditional Chinese medicine industry is in a big dilemma.
It is easy to get started with traditional Chinese medicine, but to be a qualified doctor requires at least decades of experience and understanding of traditional Chinese medicine.
In recent years, in order to crack down on the illegal activities of manufacturing and selling counterfeit medicines and fraudsters pretending to be doctors, large-scale clampdowns and penalties have been carried out on unlicensed medical practices. In one year, 120,000 cases of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners practicing medicine without licenses were punished.
Basically they have quit the industry.
A large number of traditional Chinese medicine and folk traditional Chinese medicine, which exist in various places, especially in rural areas, have withdrawn from the industry because they do not have university diplomas and cannot obtain medical certificates.
Traditional Chinese medicine, as an empirical medicine, has suffered great losses.
As the existing masters are getting older, the departure of these old people has led to the loss of many experienced and excellent traditional Chinese medicine practitioners in various subjects. However, the level of students graduating from universities of traditional Chinese medicine cannot reach this level, leading to a gap in the succession of talents.
Insufficient talents mean that the natural curative effect is not good, and doctors rely on curative effect to survive. Without curative effect, patients will not buy it, forming a vicious circle.
Talents have been greatly reduced and skills have been lost. Afterwards, there will be greater worries and the potency of medicinal materials will be insufficient. This is even more fatal.
Nowadays, most Chinese medicines are cultivated. Chinese medicines grown with pesticides and chemical fertilizers have much worse medicinal properties than wild Chinese medicines, and even the efficacy is not as good as natural ones.
As for natural herbal medicines, with the development of agricultural land and changes in the natural environment, they are becoming less and less available and more and more rare.
Often, when the growth time is short, they are picked by medicinal collectors who are eager to sell for money, because if you don’t pick them after seeing them, others will not keep them for you. This has also led to an increase in the price of wild medicines and a decrease in their efficacy.
When the medicine stops working, the natural curative effect will not be as good as before.
In addition to these difficulties, traditional Chinese medicine is still suffering from the crisis of being banned. Western medicine has always disagreed with the theory and pharmacology of traditional Chinese medicine. Because the theory of traditional Chinese medicine is very mysterious, if you cure your disease, you can’t explain why. There is a saying
Well, Western medicine can make you die clearly, while Chinese medicine can make you live in confusion.
Since modern times, when Western medicine was introduced into China, Chinese medicine has been greatly impacted.
Mr. Lu Xun's generation once denounced Chinese medicine as liars, intentionally or unintentionally.
However, traditional Chinese medicine has survived strongly by relying on its curative effect and strong vitality.
The first existential crisis of traditional Chinese medicine occurred in February 1929.
At that time, the Nanjing National Government held the first large-scale Central Health Commission meeting since the establishment of the National Government.
There were more than 120 people invited to the meeting, including members of the Health Committee, deans of central-level hospitals, deans and principals of provincial and municipal hospitals and medical schools, as well as directors of provincial health departments and municipal health bureaus. Almost all of them had a background in Western medicine.
.
What shocked the whole country was that a very important agenda item at this meeting was to pass a resolution - to depose traditional Chinese medicine.
Today, when we look at historical data, we can find that this health conference was held with the funding of several large foreign pharmaceutical companies.
It can be seen that this is full of conflicts of interests. The foreign forces behind the chaos are not for the sake of the Chinese people.
There are many shady things behind this incident. The existence or failure of China's "national medicine" is discussed in such a strange atmosphere, and its fate is naturally in danger.
Before the meeting, Wang Jingwei, who later became a great traitor, delivered a long speech, vigorously inciting: "The biggest obstacle to China's health administration is traditional Chinese medicine. If traditional Chinese medicine is not abolished, it cannot be regarded as a revolution. Japan can be strong only because of the Meiji Restoration.
The Meiji Restoration could change the outlook of the people by abolishing Chinese medicine and Chinese medicine. Therefore, the Health Council must take full responsibility for formulating proposals and hand them over to the government for implementation, in order to complete the great cause of the revolution."
In the end, due to the opposition of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and people across the country, it failed. There are also many people in the government who support traditional Chinese medicine.
In the past 100 years, Chinese medicine has faced life-and-death emergencies three times, but in the end it was passed down with difficulty.
After Yang Fan came to Daming, he was pleasantly surprised to find that Chinese herbal medicines are everywhere here, and they are all grown naturally without any chemical fertilizers or pesticides. In later generations, high-priced medicinal materials with high age are everywhere. There are huge business opportunities here.
This era is enough to supply the Chinese medicinal materials needed by future generations.
Many rare animal and plant resources were found everywhere in the Ming Dynasty. More importantly, Chinese medicine in this era was not impacted by later generations, and there were many high-level doctors.
Many special skills and medical methods are also common. These have been almost lost in later generations.
Yang Fan himself believed in traditional Chinese medicine. Later, several epidemics in China proved the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine.
Although the theory of traditional Chinese medicine sounds like a myth, it is a good thing if it can cure diseases. If we don’t understand it, we can’t stop eating because of choking.
Now, the Ming Dynasty can provide the best animal and plant medicinal materials, the best and most experienced doctors of traditional Chinese medicine, and many techniques and prescriptions that have not been lost. If these can be passed on to future generations, traditional Chinese medicine will definitely develop greatly.
Late at night, Yang Fan was still writing furiously, writing a memorial to the emperor.
Because in the original history, the plague would break out in the Ming Dynasty very soon. All ten houses in the north would be empty, and all the people in the entire village would die.
When King Li Chuang entered Beijing, the capital had been turned into a dead city by the plague.
According to historical records, the soldiers collapsed on the city wall and barely stood up after being kicked and beaten by the officers. They collapsed again as soon as the officers left.

After King Li Chuang's peasant army entered the imperial capital, military discipline was completely ruined. They all went deep into the people to snatch property and women. King Li Chuang could not stop it, and a large number of soldiers were infected.
Plague and smallpox.
The combat effectiveness was severely weakened. Then he was defeated in Yiyishi.
At this time, it was the Little Ice Age, and the climate became unprecedentedly cold.
This resulted in a huge demand for animal furs in prosperous Europe and East Asia at this time.
The price of furs has skyrocketed, and they are known as soft gold. A large number of hunters have flocked to Siberia and Mongolia to hunt and make a fortune from furs.
The Russian Empire gained a lot of wealth from Europe because of the fur trade, and the country became stronger. At the same time, driven by interests, it began to continuously explore and penetrate Siberia. These furs also infected wild animal viruses to hunters, and brought them with them.
Returned to Europe and the Ming Dynasty.
The European plague was called the Black Death, which caused the loss of 100 million people in Europe. The Ming Dynasty did not fare well. Smallpox and plague were also brought back to the mainland by Shanxi merchants. Shanxi merchants smuggled goods outside the customs and imported furs to the mainland.
They made a fortune, but Ming Dynasty suffered disaster.
The areas north of the Huaihe River and south of the Great Wall, especially the Ji Town area in Hebei Province, became the hardest hit areas. Many people were killed or injured.
Yang Fan could not sit idly by and did nothing. He wrote to the emperor and suggested that in the name of the imperial court, high-level doctors from all over the country be recruited to the capital.
The National Medical University was established to train Chinese medicine talents and prepare for epidemics. He was willing to bear all the expenses.
Yang Fan's idea was to establish a traditional Chinese medicine university. Gather all the outstanding doctors from all over the Ming Dynasty, compile classics of traditional Chinese medicine, and set up a large hospital. This could not only prepare for future epidemics, but also feed back future generations and continue many lost skills.
.
Good medicinal materials are available, good prescriptions are available, good doctors are available, and good techniques are available.
If Yang Fan doesn't believe it, later generations of Chinese medicine will not be able to practice it.
Yang Fan decided to let Xinghe Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital start with high-end medical care.
Use the best medicinal materials, the best prescriptions, the best doctors, and the best treatment methods to become famous among the world's richest people, and then promote high-end TCM medical care around the world.
If the top wealthy circles abroad recognize traditional Chinese medicine, it will definitely promote the development of traditional Chinese medicine in China.
