Chapter 66: The Benevolence of the Healer
The regime of the Southern Sui was basically stabilized, and in addition to food, clothing, housing, and transportation, education and medical care were also very important for the development of the imperial court. With the efforts of Cai Xijiu and several doctors, Guozijian has begun to take shape.
After the Jiangdu Palace Change, Yu Wenhua not only robbed a large number of property and ships, but also abducted many doctors.
People will inevitably get sick when they live, although the imperial court has done its best, the number of doctors is far from enough, Li Xuanba has long wanted to open a medical hall, but because no one can take on the heavy responsibility, it has been delayed until now. Now the appearance of Sun Simiao has undoubtedly solved his problem.
Sun Simiao was reluctant to be an official, Emperor Wen of Sui once sent someone to ask him to be a doctor of Guozijian, he said that he was sick and avoided him, how could such a person be willing to stay in Jiangdu?
"The younger brother studied medicine in order to help the world and save the people, and I ask the senior brother to forgive me, the junior brother cannot live here for a long time." Sun Simiao declined.
"Now that you have entered the master's door, you must be familiar with the works of the Taoist sages, and dare to ask the junior brother if you can understand the truth that it is better to teach people to fish than to teach them to fish?" Li Xuanba heard Sun Simiao's refusal, his face was the same, and he said unhurriedly: "Does the senior brother think that he can keep the people from being disturbed by injuries and diseases by himself?" ”
"It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish" is from "Lao Tzu", Sun Simiao is very familiar with this sentence, and he is also very clear about Li Xuanba's intention when he said this sentence.
"What the senior brother said is indeed reasonable, but the people of Jiangdu do not represent the people of the world, Si Miao will remember what the senior brother said, and when he meets someone who is destined in the future, he will definitely learn what he has learned all his life and teach him." Sun Simiao replied respectfully.
"According to what the senior brother said, the lives of the people of Jiangdu are not important?" Li Xuanba said with a smile.
"Senior brother wants to stay with Si Miao, is it really just for the people?" Although Sun Simiao is skilled in medicine, he is not as dedicated to academics as Cai Xianjiu and them, he arched his hand and said: "Senior brother wants to help the poor people, as for the injuries suffered by the soldiers who fought on the battlefield. Even if the junior brother is cured, those people will be injured again, in that case, why should I do more? ”
"Senior brother, your idea is really stupid." Li Xuanba glanced at Sun Simiao deeply, making full use of his identity as a senior brother. He taught: "Don't hide it from the senior brother, the senior brother does have the thoughts you just said. Have you ever thought about how many people you can save in a year with all your might? How many families will be destroyed in a war? Therefore, practicing medicine is the way of benevolence, but it is only a small way, and ending the turmoil is the real way to help the world. ”
Li Xuanba's thinking jumped fast, but fortunately, Sun Simiao was smart enough. can completely keep up, even so, Li Xuanba's words still make him start to doubt his life.
"Senior brother is really a wise man." After thinking for a moment, Sun Simiao sincerely stood up and gave a salute, and said respectfully: "Since the senior brother has the will to calm the world, the senior brother is willing to do his best to help, but please also ask the senior brother to have mercy on the innocent people and do less killing." ”
Li Xuanba secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Nodding his head, he said, "This is what Xuanba should do." ”
The tea on the table was already cold, and the strong smell of medicine in the hall wafted everywhere. Li Xuanba gushed out his ideas, which made Sun Simiao admire him.
After the business was discussed, Sun Simiao said with emotion: "With the talent of the senior brother, Simiao believes that in less than five years, Nan Sui will be able to stand out from the crowd. It has the strength to stabilize the world. ”
"It takes a long process to settle the world, and if you are in a hurry, you will get yourself into trouble." Li Xuanba shook his head slightly, he was worried that Sun Simiao's hope was too great, and he would be extremely disappointed at that time, so he poured some cold water on him in advance.
The gloomy color in Sun Simiao's eyes flashed. You sighed.
"Compared to the future, senior brother now has an urgent matter, and he still needs the help of junior brother." The doctor was kind, Li Xuanba couldn't bear to see Sun Simiao's worry, so he said: "You just checked my pulse, you should understand that Xuanba's body is not unwell." ”
"To be precise, in addition to being too angry, Senior Brother does not have any other problems with his body." Sun Simiao adheres to the rigor of a doctor and reminds.
Li Xuanba didn't bother to mention the topic of anger, and continued: "When the first emperor was in power, Xuanba had to pretend to be weak for some reasons, and now that the first emperor has died, His Majesty and the holy aunt are still in the dark, I don't want to fall into the crime of bullying the king, so I hope that my junior brother can accompany me to play a play." ”
"Senior brother mean let me pretend to heal you?" Sun Simiao quickly understood, and secretly said that what Li Xuanba was planning was really not small, and nodded in response: "The master is a master of the Tao, Simiao only needs to say that he brought the elixir refined by the master to heal the senior brother's illness, and it is impossible for others to go to the master for verification." ”
"That's very good." Li Xuanba clapped his hands and praised: "Senior brother thinks more than me. ”
If Li Xuanba's body was healed by Sun Simiao himself, it might bring a lot of trouble to Sun Simiao, but Sun Simiao gave the credit to the people of Ziyun Dao, first, it was difficult for others to find him, and second, Li Xuanba could recover his strength at any time, even if someone asked, he could also give a reasonable explanation.
As for the ingredients of the pill, Li Xuanba didn't know, and Sun Simiao didn't know either, but it could be confirmed that even the people of Ziyun Dao couldn't find enough materials to refine the second one, because the materials for refining the pill were all unique and unique.
"Senior brother, is this what the master said about heart disease?" Seeing Li Xuanba's smug appearance, Sun Simiao asked with a smile: "Earlier, Senior Brother asked me to stay and study your illness, but now that I think about it, you planned to let Senior Brother serve the imperial court at that time, right?" ”
Li Xuanba smiled for a moment, scratched his head in embarrassment, and said: "Senior brother is really overwhelmed by the matter of the medical hall, so he has to make this decision, and I hope that my junior brother will forgive me." ”
"When the junior brother came to the Zhongyong Mansion, he saw that the huge Zhongyong Mansion was so deserted, so he asked a Shizuka lady, and she said that everyone in the mansion was sent out by the senior brother to do things for the imperial court." Sun Simiao didn't care, turned his head to look at the couplet, and said calmly: "Seeing this pair, Si Miao understands that Senior Brother is a person with great ambitions, but Si Miao must confirm Senior Brother's attitude towards the people." ”
Li Xuanba was silent, and said in his heart, it turned out that Sun Simiao had always been aware of his little abacus, and he was willing to stay after all, rather than being moved by his words.
"Guozijian has a medical school, there is no restriction on background, there is no limit on the number of places, the senior brother really can't think of it." Sun Simiao had only been deeply impressed by Li Xuanba for half a day when he saw him, and he got up and bowed: "Lord Zhou Guogong, without further ado, please arrange it as soon as possible." ”
Senior brother and adult are completely different titles, and the meaning they represent is self-evident, Li Xuanba got up and returned the salute and replied: "Master Yizheng, Xuanba will take you to the Guozijian to meet Lord Sacrificial Wine." ”
After speaking, the two raised their heads at the same time, looked at each other and smiled, the age difference of more than 20 years did not cause a gap between them. (To be continued.) )
