In the afternoon, Yang Chong went to Cui Jiayuan to visit Cui Hongdu, the head of the Cui family. Yesterday, Emperor Yang of Sui seemed to say so, but Yang Chong came from later generations and knew that the boss would not talk casually, if he wanted to know the situation of Cui Hongdu, there were ministers in the court who had a good relationship with the Cui family, and Cui Chuzhi and others were also officials in the court. If Emperor Yang of Sui wants to visit by himself, he must need an outsider to communicate with Cui Hongdu, as for what to say, Yang Chong can't guess.

The pavilions and pavilions in Cuijiayuan, the rockery and flowing water, the path paved with black stones, and the side of the road are all green pines and green bananas. Cui Hongdu was chatting with Sun Simiao, and when he saw Yang Chong walking into the octagonal pavilion in the garden, he asked with a smile, "Why, dare to visit me this time?" ”

After Yang Chong saluted, he stretched out his head to look around, and pretended to exaggerate and said, "Fortunately, there are no dozens of armor soldiers in ambush." ”

The three of them laughed, Cui Hongdu motioned for Yang Chong to sit down, and thanked: "Your suggestion last time was very effective, I am much better now, and that person also understands my mind, but the gap in the middle is too deep, and no one dares to take that step easily." I was joking with Daoist Sun Simiao just now, and it was cold at the heights. ”

Yang Chong understood what Cui Hongdu meant, and now he and Emperor Yang Guang of Sui both wanted to get closer, but the Cui family's transcendent status in the scholar clan did not allow Cui Hongdu to do so, because once he did it, he would be the public enemy of the rest of the gate lords, which was a pressure that the Cui family could not bear. The Cui family did not express his position, and Emperor Yang Guang of Sui couldn't be too enthusiastic, after all, he was the Ninth Five-Year Emperor, and Yang Chong immediately knew the meaning of Yang Guang letting him come, and a dead horse would be a live horse doctor.

Sun Simiao's face was childish, and after Yang Chong got up and gave the salute again, he sat down and said: "Sun Daochang's medical skills are superb, I don't know if "The Thousand Golden Prescriptions" has been completed?" ”

Sun Simiao smiled slightly, a person who is almost sixty years old, his teeth are so white and shiny; Sun Simiao took a sip of tea soup and said: "No wonder Lord Yang is a legend now, and "A Thousand Golden Prescriptions" is something that Poor Dao pondered alone, how did Lord Yang know?" ”

"You call me Yang Chong, please listen to your ears." As for the source, Yang Chong said vaguely: "I heard about it, it seems that Yuan Tiangang said it." ”

Cui Hongdu and Sun Simiao both knew that Yuan Tiangang was a legendary figure, and it was difficult to investigate his identity deeply, so Sun Simiao asked: "Yang Chong, what do you mean by asking the book of poor Dao?" ”

Yang Chong thought for a while and said: "I think that it is a mistake for the Taoist to be in the mountains all the year round, and the Taoist doctor's medical skills can be called my Great Sui Treasure, but medical skills are used to treat diseases and save people, no matter how good things are, they should also be inherited." I think the Taoist should open a museum in Chang'an to accept apprentices, so that the Taoist doctor's medical skills can serve more people. ”

Sun Simiao said with a smile: "Poor Dao has also had this heart for a long time, but it is not so easy to find a suitable person. ”

Yang Chong disapplauded and said: "Famous teachers are hard to find, beauty is hard to find, why do you have to find one person, it's too difficult, if the Taoist finds ten people, everyone learns a part of yours, isn't it easier, and the requirements for the people you are looking for can also be lowered?" If it were me, I would take in thirty or fifty students in one go, and the good ones would pass on the mantle in the future, and the bad ones would also let them hang the pot to help the world, there is too little doctor in this world. ”

Sun Simiao didn't speak for a long time, and then nodded after a long time: "It makes sense, it's the vanity of the poor Dao who is at fault, and he values his reputation more than saving people, and his cultivation is still not enough." ”

Yang Chong didn't expect Sun Simiao to have such a mind, and suddenly said embarrassedly: "Daochang Sun, the kid is talking nonsense, don't be surprised." ”

Although Cui Hongdu and Yang Chong have only met for the second time, they have always paid close attention to this young man, and knew that Yang Chong would not raise the bar with Sun Simiao for no reason, and said with a smile: "Yang Chong, tell your true purpose." ”

Yang Chong said carefully: "I actually think that Sun Daochang should open a medical school, find a few like-minded friends, accept apprentices on a large scale, and carry forward his medical skills." However, Sun Daochang may have some problems in terms of financial resources, but this is a trivial matter in the eyes of the Cui family master; If such good deeds can be done in Chang'an or Luoyang, it will definitely cause a sensation, and the imperial court should also approve of it, and Sun Daochang can also ask the Holy Son of Heaven to give him a name. ”

Sun Simiao has no opinion, to have such a medical school to help him complete the ideal of benefiting the world, he has no regrets in this life, and it is a good thing to ask the emperor to give him a name; Cui Hongdu immediately grasped Yang Chong's intentions, the Cui family paid for this kind of thing to be famous, but it gave Yang Guang a chance to show goodwill. Cui Hongdu patted the case and said: "If Sun Daochang has no opinion, my Cui family is willing to help." But Yang Chong, you also have to take out something. ”

Yang Chong immediately said: "I will give one hundred taels of gold." ”

Cui Hongdu snorted and said, "My Cui family lacks your one hundred taels of gold." ”

Cui Hongdu is a strict person, and always admonishes his subordinates: "People should be sincere and forgiving, and there is no need to deceive." Once when I ate soft-shelled turtles, there were eight or nine waiters, and Cui Hongdu asked them one by one: "Does the soft-shelled turtle taste beautiful?" His subordinates were afraid of him, and they all said that the turtle was delicious, which caused Cui Hongdu to scold: "How dare the slave scold me?" None of you have eaten soft-shelled turtles, how do you know they taste delicious? So each of them was beaten with eighty rods.

Yang Chongwei was puzzled: "You also know the head of the family, I am from a poor family, and I have just been an official for less than a year, so I can't get much money." ”

Cui Hongdu bowed his head and said, "That's right, so I don't need you to pay for it." I want you to do business with our Cui family, don't be reluctant, you can do business with Yuwenshu, you can do business with the Pei family and Yuhaizhai, why can't you do business with our Cui family, do you look down on our Cui family, and think that we are a few grades worse than the Yuwen family and the Pei family. ”

Sun Simiao shook his head and smiled bitterly, Cui Hongdu's hat is too big, five surnames and seven wangs, the Cui family is a top wealthy family everywhere, if Yang Chong dares to say that he looks down on the Boling Cui family in front of the head of the Cui family, I am afraid that he will be drowned by the spitting stars when he leaves the Cui family. Yang Chong really didn't dare, and said dejectedly: "Respect the old and love the young, Cui family master, you have the final say." ”

Cui Hongdu smiled proudly and said: "Our business is in charge of the old man's fourth brother Cui Hongsu, and when he arrives in Chang'an in a few days, I will let him visit you." Yang Chong understands that Cui Hongdu is a slap in the face to a date, and asking Cui Hongsu to visit him is to announce to the world that the relationship between the Cui family and himself is absolutely beneficial to himself, and what is Yang Chong's embarrassment is to do business with the Cui family?

When the fragrant wind hit, a pretty maid walked into the pavilion, brought a cup of tea soup on a tray, and put it in front of Yang Chong; Yang Chong's heart moved, tea, tea business. In the past few months, Yang Chong has never seen anyone drinking clear tea, the tea soup is not tea at all, and various preserved fruits and traditional Chinese medicine are added, just like the banlan root in later generations; Yang Chong made up his mind, if the Cui family could give himself a suitable price, he would talk about the tea business, and the Great Sui would rise sharply in a few years, and he didn't know how effective his butterfly could be, and it was not a bad thing to have another way out.
