Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    If someone else had heard Li Min's unceremonious question, they would probably be a little angry even if they didn't dare on the surface.  However, Sun Simiao was extremely well-educated. Not only did he not show any anger after hearing this, but he also thought about it carefully for a long time. Finally, he said with a helpless smile: "Your Highness, this old minister can't understand it either."

    "Haha, you are a fan of the authorities. I have been thinking about this issue for a long time, and finally I came up with an explanation!" Li Min said with a smile.

    Sun Simiao's eyes lit up after hearing this. He knew that the King of Qi in front of him was smart. If he could get his advice and know the reasons for the low status of doctors, and then find ways to make up for it, he might be able to change the current situation.  Thinking of this, he couldn't help but bowed with excitement and said: "Please give me some advice, Your Highness!"

    Li Min looked at Sun Simiao's respectful look, but a faint smile flashed across the corner of his mouth, and he said with certainty: "Actually, the explanation is very simple, that is, since Shennong, there have been no real talents in medicine!"

    "What? This this" Sun Simiao heard Li Min say such an unexpected answer, which made him a little stunned for a while. After a while, he realized what he was doing and asked angrily, "Your Highness  , Although the veteran is not talented, there are still many talents in my field of medicine. Bian Que, Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing, etc. are all famous doctors who have endured many hardships. How can we say that there are no talents in medicine?"

    Seeing Sun Simiao's excitement, Li Min smiled slightly. This was the effect he wanted.  He said calmly: "Oh, let me ask you. How do Bian Que, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing compare with Confucius?"

    After hearing this, Sun Simiao couldn't laugh or cry. After a while, he said: "Your Highness, Confucius is a Confucian saint, and his status is equivalent to that of Lao Tzu in Taoism. Although Bian Que and other famous doctors have countless lives, how can they be compared with saints?"

    "Okay. Since you admit that there has never been a talent comparable to Confucius and Laozi in medicine, let me ask you now, compared with Taoism and Confucianism, which one is more prosperous?" Li Min asked again with a smile.  There is a trap in his question. Confucianism emphasizes joining the world, while Taoism emphasizes being out of the world.  Therefore, it was destined from the beginning that Confucianism would be more accepted by the secular world, and of course it would be more prosperous.

    "Confucian disciples are all over the court, and there are countless students. Although our Taoism has been vigorously promoted by the late emperor and His Majesty, compared with Confucianism, it is still far behind." Sun Simiao didn't think so much, and just gave an honest smile.  replied.  He is not only a doctor, but also a Taoist priest, whether it is medicine or Taoism.  Both are inferior to Confucianism passed down by Confucius.

    "Yes, I am still Confucius's teacher, but Taoism has been passed down to this day, but it is much worse than Confucianism. Do you know the key to this?" Li Min asked still smiling.

    "My old minister is stupid. Please give me some advice, Your Highness!" Sun Simiao couldn't help but show a bit of anxiety on his face when he saw that Li Min kept pretending, and he saluted slightly again.

    "No matter what, this question is actually simple to say. The most important thing about the two is that Confucius spent his whole life teaching seventy-two students, while Laozi left Tongguan in the west and left only a Tao Te Ching of more than a thousand words, and  These are the reasons that determine the prosperity of Confucianism and the decline of Taoism." Li Min said with confidence, although he also knew that his point of view was simply untenable, but as long as he could temporarily deceive Sun Simiao, he would be considered a victory.

    Sun Simiao is not stupid, otherwise he would not have become a famous doctor. Hearing this, he finally showed a look of enlightenment and said: "Your Highness, I understand, what you want to say is public teaching!"

    "Yes, Imperial Physician Sun must also know that in medicine nowadays, almost everything is passed down from father to son, and from son to grandson. Even if you accept apprentices, the conditions are extremely harsh, and a person can only accept two or three apprentices at most in his lifetime. This  Not to mention compared with Confucianism, even Taoism is not comparable!" Li Min said with a serious face, "Compared with Confucianism, Taoism is actually inferior in the aspect of public teaching. Confucius vigorously taught disciples, so that  There are countless disciples, and the teachings of Confucianism are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people; while Taoism has only one enigmatic Tao Te Ching, which has caused later generations to have different interpretations of it, leading to countless schools, each with its own interpretation, and even triggering internal strife.  It cannot be unified internally, let alone compare with Confucianism, which advocates great unity."

    Although Sun Simiao also felt that Li Min's reasons were a bit one-sided, it was not unreasonable. If Lao Tzu had taught openly like Confucius, Taoism would not be in the current situation.  As for medicine, let alone medicine. Each doctor treats his or her medical skills as treasures and seldom spreads them except to their descendants. This also prevents medical skills from being exchanged and making it impossible to learn from each other's strengths. As a result, medicine naturally declines day by day.

    "Thank you for the advice, Your Highness. I am willing to reveal what I have learned in my life to others, but I would like to ask Your Highness to help me with this matter!" Sun Simiao is a real doctor.?, fully aware of the importance of inheriting medical skills, and not cherishing his own medical skills, otherwise he would not have written what he had learned throughout his life into "A Thousand Gold Prescriptions" to be passed down to future generations when he was more than a hundred years old.  Therefore, when he heard that Li Min wanted him to teach in public, he immediately nodded in agreement, but he also knew that this matter could not be done by himself alone, and it must be promoted by His Highness the King of Qi in front of him.

    "Hahaha~, Dr. Sun is indeed a famous doctor of the generation. His heart as a doctor is enough to make the world admire him!" When Li Min saw the other party's promise, he immediately stood up and walked around excitedly, shouting loudly without hesitation  praised.

    However, after Li Min was excited, Sun Simiao frowned and asked again: "Your Highness, although it is a good thing to make medicine public, I don't have any clue for a while. I dare to ask Your Highness what you think?" After all, he is just a doctor.  Apart from being good at treating illnesses and rescuing people, he is really not as good as Li Min in other aspects.

    "Haha, this is easy to handle. Since Imperial Physician Sun knows the wound suturing and other techniques that this king has developed on the battlefield, does he know how many soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have been saved by these new technologies?" Li Min asked with a proud look on his face.

    "This" Sun Simiao only learned about specific methods such as surgery from the imperial physician who accompanied the army. As for how many soldiers were saved, he really didn't know. After all, these were matters of the Ministry of War, and it was difficult for ordinary people to know.

    "Hehe, I am the medical officer of this war. I made a rough statistics of all the wounded who were treated, and then compared it with the number of casualties in the Ministry of War's previous wars. It was found that after adding the new unit of medical soldiers,  Using new wound treatment technology, the casualty rate in the Battle of Goguryeo was only 30% of that in previous wars. In other words, ten people might have died from injuries before, but after our treatment, only three people would die. After a war, there are  Tens of thousands of soldiers have survived because of our treatment, so adding medical soldiers as a new branch of the Tang army has become the consensus of the civil and military ministers of the DPRK and China!"

    Li Min smiled very proudly. There was no exaggeration in what he said. Although there were doctors accompanying the army in the Tang Dynasty, the number was very small. Coupled with the backward medical methods, the injured soldiers could not receive effective treatment at all. A battle  Most of the soldiers who died in the war died from aggravated injuries.  However, with Li Min's medical soldiers, the situation was immediately greatly improved. Coupled with new treatment methods such as alcohol disinfection and wound suturing, the casualty rate was greatly reduced.

    "Your Highness has countless living people, which is really an immeasurable merit!" Sun Simiao also said with great admiration, but then asked with some doubts, "But what does this matter have to do with public lectures?"

    "Haha, don't you understand, Imperial Doctor Sun?" Li Yin said with a smile, "If you want to form a medical corps, you will naturally need a large number of manpower. Although the medical corps does not require high medical skills, some first aid measures such as bandaging of wounds, etc.  But it is a compulsory course. I think that the Tang Dynasty has an army of millions, and it needs a very large number of medical soldiers. Therefore, there must be a special training place to provide a large number of medical soldiers for the Tang army. But I think  This place was expanded again to not only train simple medical soldiers, but to form an institution similar to an academy, taught by experienced doctors, and then recruit people from all over the world who are aspiring to study medicine, and teach and study medical skills in public.  I have already thought about it, let¡¯s call it Datang Medical College!¡±

    After listening to Li Min's idea for the medical school, Sun Simiao was stunned. He originally thought that Li Min wanted him to call on the doctors of the Tang Dynasty to give lectures in public. Unexpectedly, Li Min's idea was even bigger, and he even used He to train medical soldiers for the imperial court.  Taking advantage of the opportunity, he took advantage of the situation to establish a Datang Medical College with a military background. Only the King of Qi in front of him dared to think of such a big undertaking.

    Although Sun Simiao was shocked by Li Min's huge idea, he thought that when the medical school was completed, famous doctors from all over the Tang Dynasty would gather together to learn from each other's strengths and discuss the pros and cons. He, who had always been calm, couldn't help but be a little excited.

    "Your Highness is a great talent. This move will benefit the country and the people, and it will also promote medicine. I am old and incompetent. I am willing to serve as your Highness's vanguard and be driven by Your Highness!" Sun Simiao bowed to the ground and said with a serious face.

    "Hahaha~, with Imperial Physician Sun's talent, it would be too humiliating to be a pawn. After I report to my father in the future, the position of head of the medical school must belong to you!" Li Min also laughed heartily.  road.  With the improvement of living standards, medicine will definitely develop accordingly. However, with the current medical situation in Datang, without his promotion, it would be impossible to develop rapidly. In addition, Lu Qing has already begun to take action, and medicine  The problem of insufficient manpower has begun to emerge. This problem may become more serious in the future, so it is better to be prepared sooner or later.

    After discussing the matter of medical school with Sun Simiao, Li Min had just sent him away and was about to go back to see if Xijun was awake?  At this time, a servant suddenly reported it, and Li Zhi hurriedly?He came to see his sixth brother.  (To be continued)
