Chapter 144: Craftsman Academy

Liu Wei and Liu Xin, brother and sister, have been living in Jianxinzhai since the conflict between Gao and Lingyunyi that day.

The pragmatic Jianxinzhai Villa had been expanded once before, and now the Liu brothers and sisters do not live in the new main building of Jianxinzhai, Shouxinlou, but in a fine guest house by Jingcui Lake in the southeast of the original Jianxinzhai.

Previously, the expansion of Jianxinzhai, because there is Biyun Temple in the north and Xiangshan Temple in the south, so the expansion in the north-south direction is relatively limited, so Gao Pragmatism is basically to expand in the east and south directions with Jianxinzhai and Glasses Lake as the northern boundary. In terms of the scope of future generations, it is about west to Yuhua Villa, south to Xiangshan Hotel and Cuiwei Pavilion, and eastward expansion is larger, all the way to the area of Xiangshan Police Station.

The current layout of the Shinsai Annex, which is a mountain garden in the west, and a school and a ding camp in the east. The east and west sides combined, the land area has reached more than 1,400 acres.

Needless to say, the mountain view garden, this year, the wealthy who have few famous gardens, are embarrassed to open their mouths when chatting with people, although Gao pragmatic did not plan to compare with the Wei Mansion in Nanjing, but he still needs to support a façade near the Jingshi, so he began to expand the heart of the heart a few years ago, especially the west side, which was used by him as a garden.

The eastern part is at the bottom of the mountain, and the advantage of the mountain is that it is flat, so it was used to build a school and build a "barracks". Of course, the barracks can't really be called barracks, it can only be a family dormitory plus a martial arts field, weapons depot, etc., this does not need to be introduced, in short, in terms of the scale of the building, it can be stationed here for more than three thousand guards, if it is an emergency, it is not a problem to live five or six thousand.

Of course, in fact, Gao Shishi's people stationed here were only 500 people at most, and any more would be afraid of causing unnecessary trouble, after all, this is the outskirts of Beijing, and it must not be comparable to the scale of his Wuzhuang family on the side of the three major factories in Kaiping.

Five hundred people is no problem, those top nobles in Beijing, which family can't pull out more than five hundred people at any time, there is no shortage of high pragmatism, not to mention that even if he has no official position at present, in the eyes of the world, it must be a civil official system, and the characteristics of the Ming Dynasty are that civil officials are generally not suspected of plotting misdeeds.

The barracks aren't worth a damn, but the academy is worth mentioning. Although it was named the vulgar name of "Jinghua Craftsman School" by Gao Pragmatism, this school was actually built by Gao Pragmatism very carefully, and the idea was similar to that of the university town of later generations.

Mathematics, mining, iron smelting, woodworking, medicine, the five major categories, except for mathematics, which seems to be more theoretical, the other four are typical practical disciplines. Even in mathematics, in fact, a large part of the curriculum teaches practical mathematics, not to mention business bookkeeping, which is often a headache in later generations, and math application problems are also routine operations.

In addition to the teaching area, there is also a practice area for each category, which is actually the proper meaning of the question, otherwise how to teach carpentry teaching must not just say not practice.

However, the most interesting practice area has to count the medicine class, because the medicine practice area is divided into two parts, and a medicine hall was built near the school district, and the name is directly copied from Tongrentang. The sitting physician of the hall is Li Shizhen, who just finished writing the compendium of materia medica last year, and he is also the person in charge of the medical department of the Jinghua Craftsman School.

Gao Pragmatic opened three "Jinghua Tongrentang" in the capital, one in the east and west of the north city, and one in the south city, which not only sells medicine but also treats diseases, and also takes into account the internship of students in the classroom. Although the pharmacy of traditional Chinese medicine has always had the atmosphere of looking at the inheritance of qualifications, Tong Ren Tang has gradually become famous because of Li Shizhen's presence and the golden sign of "Jinghua".

The Liu brothers and sisters came down from the guest house by Jingcui Lake today to visit the medical department of the Jinghua Craftsman School.

"The so-called etiology, the Yellow Emperor Neijing divides it into two categories: yin and yang, those who are born in yang, those who are born in yin, those who are born in yin, and those who get food, residence, yin and yang, joy and anger. In the Han Dynasty, Zhang Zhongjing divided the etiology into three categories, the meridians were affected by evil and entered the viscera, which was caused by the internal limbs and nine orifices, and the blood was passed down from generation to generation, and it was blocked and blocked, and it was injured by other chambers, golden blades, insects and beasts in the outer skin. Chen Wuxue, a famous doctor in the Song Dynasty, put forward another theory of three causes: external causes, internal causes, and not internal and external causes.

I divide the causes into four categories, one of which is the external causes, including the six lewdness, wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness, fire, and boils. The second is the cause of internal injuries, including seven emotions, joy, anger, worry, sorrow, fear, and fright, as well as improper diet, and lack of work and rest. The third is secondary causes including phlegm, blood stasis, and stones. The four other causes include trauma, parasitism, fetal transmission, poisoning, and medical treatment. ”

The person who taught on the stage was Li Shizhen, who was famous because of the Compendium of Materia Medica. He is a native of Qizhou, Hubei. Jiajing was a talent in the tenth year, and because he failed three township examinations, he was determined to inherit his father's business and explore medicine. In the 31st year of Jiajing, he began to compile the Compendium of Materia Medica, and completed the compilation of the Compendium of Materia Medica in the 6th year of the Wanli calendar. The book has about 20,000 words, 52 volumes, 1,892 kinds of drugs, 374 new drugs, and more than 1 drawing.

Moreover, Li Shizhen does not only understand medicine, in addition to his representative work Compendium of Materia Medica, he also has ten kinds of works such as the Eight Pulses of the Strange Classics, the Theory of the Pulse of the Lake, and the Theory of the Five Organs, and he is really a master of medicine.

Liu Wei and his siblings explored carefully outside, and now in Li Shizhen's class, there are about seventy or eighty students at the bottom, all of whom are listening and recording, but their records are very strange, and they are not using a brush, but a black tube.

The Liu brothers and sisters are both good at shooting, and their eyesight is naturally excellent, and when they look at it, they feel that this thing seems to be somewhat similar to charcoal. In fact, what these students are holding is Gao Pragmatic's "Ming" charcoal, Gao Pragmatic gave Qi Jiguang the weapon atlas at the beginning, and Gao Pragmatic who also used charcoal to draw Gao Pragmatic only learned a little rough sketch in the interest class of primary school, and it would be a little embarrassing for him to draw with a brush.

Liu Wei and Liu Xin didn't understand the curriculum of Chinese medicine, but they could see from the huge and well-organized school building that Gao Shishi's emphasis on medicine was far from what they imagined.

"Xin'er, what do you think?" asked Liu Wei.

Liu Xin pondered and said, "Gao Gongzi has made great efforts to build such a large school, and he has recruited famous doctors from all over the world to come to discuss and teach each other, I always feel that he is by no means just for Tongrentang's business." ”

Liu Wei waved his hand and said, "What is he for, it doesn't matter, what I want to ask is, can we really make a lot of money if our Baibao Continuation Life is scattered into his hands, although his Tongrentang is already well-known in Beijing, but after all, there are only three shops in total, how many medicines can be sold in a year?"

"Big brother is worried about this" Liu Xin shook his head and said with a smile, "I guess for the medicine of Baibao Life Extension, Gao Gongzi probably doesn't pay much attention to the private market, and his focus should be on the border army." ”
