Chapter 13: Determination
In the thirteenth year of Zhenguan, it came to an end in a "peaceful" atmosphere - except for the army approaching Gaochang and the atmosphere in the Western Regions becoming increasingly tense, there was a peaceful scene inside the Tang Dynasty.
This year's rebellion is a little less than last year's.
The main reason is, of course, that Datang has completely gained a firm foothold, and Li Yuan and Li Shimin, father and son, have almost continued the policies of the former Sui, such as not levying taxes on salt and iron, etc., and they are tolerant of black households, which can be said to have created the best opportunity for the world to recuperate.
Therefore, even if the drought and locust plague continue, it will not affect the general trend after all.
Although there are many exaggerations in the rule of Zhenguan in history, from Li Yuanjia's point of view, the credit of the old man and Li Lao Er is definitely great to make such a large country generally maintain peace and stability...... Of course, it would be nice if they could be a little better at choosing their heirs.
In the final analysis, this is also the result that Li Yuanjia is willing to see.
Only if Datang has been thriving and maintaining domestic stability, then he, the prince of Datang, can settle down and help it climb the science and technology tree...... At least it can lay a good foundation for Datang's scientific career and prepare for future development.
So when he was approaching the end of the year, Li Yuanjia also made up his mind.
Li Shimin's lifespan must be a little longer!
If nothing else, even if it is to strangle Wu Zetian's variable in the cradle, Li Yuanjia needs the current emperor to live a few more years!
At least for Li Shimin, Wu Zetian is just beautiful at most.
This is a truly eloquent emperor, although he also has the common problem of most men, like young and beautiful little girls, but will definitely not affect other things because of women...... Except for the eldest grandson, the empress. And even the influence of the eldest grandson empress is mostly positive, and there are few negatives.
But Li Zhi, that little brat, is completely different.
Not only was he obsessed with his father's concubine, but in the end, even Li Tang's world was given to the other party...... As soon as he thought of this, Li Yuanjia couldn't wait to grab that kid and slap his ass a few times.
Li Yuanjia doesn't care who the emperor sits on, but in the future, Wu Zetian will wantonly kill the royal family, and he, the king of Han, may also be in danger, so he can't bear it.
Bao Li Er, it's all right!
After making up his mind, Li Yuanjia naturally became more and more concerned about the war in the Western Regions, and asked Han Lucheng to raise more spirits, tea, gauze and other materials to send Huang Ren and them all the way over!
You know, this is no small task!
As soon as Chang'an goes to Gaochang, it is thousands of miles, and the consumption along the way alone is a huge number! Not to mention that in order to ensure the safety of these materials, Li Yuanjia also had to send a team of men and horses to protect them......
This comes and goes, at least it is also a consumption of thousands of times!
But even if he was a little distressed, Li Yuanjia couldn't care about it, because he knew that if he wanted the emperor to believe in his ability to heal diseases, then this battle of Gaochang must not be lost!
The more people you save on the battlefield, the more convincing you will be!
This is just like the surgeons of the future, even if Liszt uses carbolic acid disinfection to save more people, it will be difficult to convince most people after all, because there are also many people who die under his scalpel! This is the limitation of the times, and even the originator of surgical disinfection cannot avoid it.
But the First World War gave modern surgery a real foothold.
In addition to the use of masks, hats, gloves and other items, as well as the progress of surgical technology, the mortality rate of soldiers has been greatly reduced, and the main reason is the huge number of wounded soldiers on the battlefield!
There are enough of them to be convincing.
Otherwise, before that, no matter how rich the theoretical knowledge of Pasteur and Koch is, and how powerful Liszt's carbolic acid is...... Ahem, of course, the effect of carbolic acid is still limited after all...... However, at that time, the germ theory and disinfection methods were still not convincing to doctors and the public.
The real foundation will have to wait until after the Great War.
It is precisely because he knows this very well that Li Yuanjia is extremely attentive to this army expedition, because he wants to use this war to establish the status of sterile suture at one time!
A few hundred samples are not enough, but what about thousands?
For Huang Ren and Wang Han, the "surgeons" trained by himself, Li Yuanjia has full confidence. If you only rely on the accumulation and precipitation of medical knowledge, let alone compare with him, I am afraid that even Sir Liszt in the nineteenth century can't compare, after all, there are many things that Li Yuanjia doesn't dare to teach, and he can't teach them!
But if it is compared to the operation, these boys should have no problem pressing Liszt to the ground and rubbing it.
At the end of the day, non-invasive suturing is not difficult!
In fact, as long as you are not too stupid, you can do it after a year and a half of rigorous training...... If it is an educated ordinary person in the future, maybe one month will be enough.
Because compared with formal surgeons, Li Yuanjia has very low requirements for them.
To put it bluntly, the reason why future doctors have to go to school for five years, to study for graduate school and Ph.D., is to systematically learn the basic knowledge of medicine, so that they can know what to do and why to do it before going to the operating table, and only know how to deal with various situations after going to the operating table.
It's a complex system that takes a long time to learn.
But in the Tang Dynasty, which has been in Zhenguan for thirteen years, Wang Han and they don't need it at all...... Li Yuanjia didn't expect them to deal with any complex injuries, they could just deal with simple external injuries.
That is, they don't need to know why they are doing it, they just need to know how to do it.
Thousands of wounded soldiers will accumulate a huge sample size.
And at that time, the monarchs and ministers of the Tang Dynasty will naturally be able to see the effect - the usual wounded soldiers have a very high death rate, maybe not one in ten, but under Wang Han and their hands, they can survive more than ordinary people, what does this mean?
Living examples are the most convincing.
Once that time comes......
As the initiator of everything...... Ahem, the initiator is a bit too ugly, it should be said that the creator, that is, Li Yuanjia, will naturally no longer be "ridiculous" in the future!
Even if it's completely different from the current medical system?
Living examples are the key!
Coupled with Li Yuanjia's previous layout in Luzhou, as well as some quasi-ratios in Chang'an in recent years, it will naturally play a role.
And......
The best thing is that Li Yuanjia is still the king of Han of the Tang Dynasty and the brother of the emperor!
For any deviant doctor, he may encounter the crazy attacks of other doctors in this era, and even eventually lead to failure, but only Li Yuanjia's identity is there to ensure that the germ of modern medicine will not be snuffed out, and may even show a trend of prairie fire......
