Chapter 187: Famous Doctor Hua Tuo
Hua Tuo was a short old man, wearing ordinary kudzu cloth clothes, his hair and beard were already a little gray, but his spirit looked very strong, and his eyes were also very bright. When he saw Lu Bu www.biquge.info he was a little cramped.
Hua Tuo was born in a commoner, and he has been studying outside since he was a teenager, and he likes to study medicine rather than seek a career, so he is still white and has no official position.
Lu Bu's prestige has spread all over the state, and now that he is in power, he is looking at all directions, and even Dong Zhuo does not dare to provoke him openly.
There is a huge difference in the identities of the two people, so when they met for the first time, it was common sense for Hua Tuo to be cautious and restrained.
Lu Bu invited Hua Tuo and his two apprentices to sit together, and then asked the slave maid to serve hot soup, and greeted Hua Tuo and the others with a smile on their faces to drink the soup to warm up first, and then slowly talk.
Hua Tuo saw that Lu Bu was so easy-going and polite, and felt a little relieved. He originally took his apprentices to treat people in the Qingzhou area, but suddenly heard a rumor from the merchant who came from Bingzhou that General Tiance hired a famous doctor, and the conditions were good, not only would he pay for the consultation with gold, but also would make offerings for a long time.
Hua Tuo felt that the world was in chaos, and if he didn't find a force to settle down, he was afraid that he would be displaced in the future, so he held the mentality of trying his luck and came to Lishi with the merchants of the state.
He didn't expect that Lu Bu himself would actually meet him in person, and even his two apprentices were not left out of the door. Doctors are just cheap jobs, although they can support their families, but it is difficult to reach the hall of elegance, Lu Bu respects their master and apprentice so much, which really makes Hua Tuo a little surprised.
After drinking the hot soup, Lu Bu said to Hua Tuo: "I heard that Mr. Yuanhua has comprehensive medical skills, is proficient in internal medicine, women, children, acupuncture and moxibustion, etc., and has the ability to rejuvenate with wonderful hands, it is a great blessing to be able to sit and discuss with you here today!" ”
Hua Tuo bowed his hands and humbled himself, and said: "The general praises falsely, and the grass people really dare not be. Sickness is the source of human disgust, the source of sorrow, I have walked between the rivers and lakes since I was young, and I have seen many people who have been tormented by illness, because I like to study medicine, so I often try to help, and over time, I have finally accumulated some effective prescriptions and treatment experience. However, if it is really a person who will die, let alone me, even if the gods descend to earth, I am afraid that they are powerless. ”
Lu Bu bowed his head and fully understood Hua Tuo's statement. He didn't plan to go around the bush with Hua Tuo again, and said directly: "This will specially send someone to invite Mr. from other states, not just for his own selfishness, but for very important matters that need to be relied upon. I want to establish a college specializing in the study and teaching of medical skills in Bingzhou, hire experts from all walks of life as mountain chiefs and professors, recruit children from good families of the right age to study in the museum, and after completing their studies in the future, they will cure diseases and save people, and promote medical Taoism! ”
Hearing this, Hua Tuo's heart moved, but he didn't dare to think in that direction. Could it be that the Admiral wanted to hire him as the head of this academy specializing in medical skills? How is this possible? Once the academy is opened, it will be the official background, and the mountain chief and the professor will actually confer official positions, will such a good thing really fall on a white man like him?
"General, I'm afraid this matter is extremely difficult." Hua Tuo's expression was solemn, "Although the way of medical skills is a cheap profession, it requires that the person who learns must not only read and write, but also have a good memory, otherwise it cannot be taught at all." ”
Lu Bu agreed with Hua Tuo's statement, if people who study medicine are illiterate, have a bad memory, and can't learn the real ability or a trivial matter, it is a big deal to indiscriminately grasp medicine to cure diseases and cure good people to death.
"It's really not easy, and it's almost impossible to do it overnight. However, a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. If Mr. Yuanhua is willing to be the founder of this foundation and contribute a high level of medical skills, even if it is only ten apprentices, over time, ten people can pass on to a hundred, and then a hundred people will teach a thousand people, and there will always be a day when it will be carried forward! ”
Fan A, the eldest apprentice sitting on Hua Tuo's left hand, looked at Lu Bu and seemed to have something to say. Lu Bu bowed his head and signaled that Fan A could speak.
Fan A opened his mouth to Lu Bu, and then whispered: "General Qiqi, the master's medical skills are the ones he has accumulated with his hard work for decades, and even tried medicine with his own body, and obtained it in many life and death tests. If the general only uses a few words to let the master dedicate his life's work, I am afraid that it will be difficult to convince the people of the world. ”
As soon as Fan A said this, Hua Tuo and his second apprentice Wu Pu's faces suddenly changed greatly, for fear that Fan A would anger Lu Bu.
However, Lu Bu not only did not get angry, but also laughed. "Hehe, this apprentice of Mr. Yuanhua is a man of temperament, and in order to protect the interests of the teacher, he dares to speak out. Very good! Only those who are honest and selfless in their hearts can become real masters of healing! ”
Seeing that Lu Bu was not angry, Hua Tuo hurriedly remedied and said: "The general has a broad mind, and the grass people are respectful. What the apprentice said is a bit excessive, as long as the general can keep me and the apprentice's family safe, even if I dedicate what I have learned to the general, what's the matter! ”
Lu Bu waved his hand and said, "This can't be done!" What your apprentice just said is very good, your superb medical skills have been studied from the pile of dead people, how can I take advantage of it. I didn't make it clear just now, in this medical institute I founded in Bingzhou, the head of the mountain is the medical counselor of Tiance Mansion, and the professors also have official status. Not only that, but I also arranged for the book printer to print the life's work of the chief and the professors, and engraved the names of all the people who contributed the prescription on the title page, so that future generations can learn and admire it! ”
Published as a book!
Engraved on the title page are the names of all the people who contributed to the prescription!
For future generations to learn and admire!
Although Lu Bu's tone was calm when he spoke, when it fell on the ears of Hua Tuo and his two apprentices, it was like a thunderous explosion, and every word hit them in the depths of their hearts.
Hua Tuo and the two apprentices hurriedly got up, bowed down to Lu Bu, and shouted: "If this happens, my generation will die without regrets!" ”
Lu Bu hurriedly stood up and walked in front of Hua Tuo, pulled him up, and then laughed and said: "You must not die, not only can you not die, but you must live with me for more than a hundred years, otherwise it will not be a waste of this ability to benefit future generations!" ”
After Lu Bu saw Hua Tuo that day, he immediately appointed him as the doctor of Tiance Mansion Counselor Cao, with an official rank of 800 stones, which was obviously higher than the other six Cao Counselors. Hua Tuo's two apprentices were also appointed as medical Cao Zuoshi, with an official rank of 400 stones.
Lu Zhi and Chen Gong were a little puzzled why Lu Bu valued Hua Tuo so much, but because they still wanted to count on Hua Tuo to treat Lu Bu's unspeakable disease, they couldn't help but didn't interfere.
In this era, doctors were not as exaggerated as in later generations, and they had to separate doctors from women with cloth curtains, or even use silk threads to cut the pulse of women.
After Hua Tuo officially became Lu Bu's subordinate official, he immediately followed Lu Bu to the back house to check Lu Bu's pulse first, and then checked Mrs. Yan and Dong's family.
When he returned to the main hall, Hua Tuo told Lu Bu with a happy face: "General Qiqi, both ladies are pregnant!" ”
Lu Zhi and Chen Gong, who were waiting for the news in the mansion, were relieved when they heard the news, and then agreed to play a few games of chess together in the evening.
