Chapter 144: Medicine
Half a day after Peng Lize got on the boat, the fleet successfully sailed into Xunyang Wharf.
The big boat that Yuan Que took was the warship of the Lujiang Naval Army, so there was no need to return it, but most of the ships used to transport troops and transport grain and grass were requisitioned from Anhui City, and they had to be released after they arrived at the land.
From the wharf to abandon the ship to land, less than 100 steps ahead is the Dongguan of Xunyang City.
Looking at the past from afar, I saw that this small city is on the left side of the mountain, and the right side is Peng Lize, the terrain is extremely dangerous, but the height of the city wall is only about two zhang, and the bricks on the outer surface of the city wall have collapsed in several places, obviously in disrepair, of course, now the city of the entire Han world is basically like this.
However, this time, Yuan Wei will not spend a lot of effort to repair Xunyang Pass like repairing the nest.
The first one is because of the lack of manpower, there were more than 100,000 homeless people when repairing the nest, but now it is gone, although the three thousand veterans who brought Xunyang are all strong, but because of the fierce battle that lasted for more than half a month, they are all exhausted, and now they urgently need to repair to recover their strength, and how can they have the spare strength to repair the city wall?
Again, there is no need to repair Xunyang on a large scale, because Yuan Jun will not stay in Xunyang for too long.
The reason why Yuan Wei borrowed Xunyang for six months was to confuse Sun Ce, so that Sun Ce and Zhou Yu misunderstood that Yuan Jun would really stay in Xunyang until the end of the year, so that the Jiangdong Army would not be in a hurry to use troops.
In fact, Yuan Nuo is only going to rest in Xunyang for half a month, and after half a month, Yuan Nuo will abandon Xunyang and go north.
The marching route chosen by Yuan Wei is also exactly the same as what Zhou Yu thought: that is, to cross the Dabie Mountain and go north!
The reason why Yuan was in a hurry to go north. It's because he knows it's this year. Great changes will take place in the Central Plains. LΓΌ Bu will attack Liu Bei because of suspicion, Liu Bei will be attached to Cao Cao after defeat, Cao Cao and LΓΌ Bu will be at odds, and at this time, it will be the best time for Yuan Bu to cross the Central Plains, and it can also be said that it is the only chance.
Because at this time, Cao Cao and Lu Bu were speculating and wary of each other, and neither side would make any effort to intercept and kill Yuan No. So as not to let the other party pick up the cheap.
The allusion to the fight between the snipe and the clam recorded in the Warring States Policy Yan Ce, how could Cao Cao and Lu Bu not know?
If you wait until next year, after the defeat of Lu Bu, Yuan Fu may have to go thousands of miles to detour through Guanzhong or take the sea route, if you go around Guanzhong, the supply of grain and grass is a big problem, if you take the sea route, the ship is a problem, if there is no sea boat with a pointed bottom, only rely on a flat-bottomed river boat. Ten of them will be buried in the sea.
Approaching the city pass, Yuan Fu found that thousands of people had gathered outside the pass.
But it was the people in Xunyang City who helped the old and the young to welcome them.
I have to say. Yuan Nuo is really famous now, hearing that Yuan Nuo is coming, Xunyang's fathers are really overjoyed, and they have brought their families and food pot pulp out of the city to greet each other, Yuan Nuo inevitably made a pro-people show again, and issued a military order on the spot, but the army found that those who disturbed the people were immediately beheaded.
However, before Yuan Wei got off the saddle, he encountered an unexpected thing.
Hua Tuo, the miracle doctor of the ages, the originator of surgery who saved at least hundreds of seriously wounded soldiers for Yuan Jun, actually said goodbye to Yuan Tuo, Hua Tuo is leaving.
"Doctor Hua, can you tell me why?" Yuan asked.
Hua Tuo had already considered Yuan No's question, and replied immediately: "Childe, the villain is used to being idle and wild, and he really can't stand too many restraints. β
Yuan Wei said: "Doctor Hua, the wounded in the army can't do without you. β
Hua Tuo said: "Childe, there is a way that is the benevolence of the doctor, there are wounded in the army, and the villain should try his best to treat them, but the world is big, but not only the son here has the wounded?" What's more, the villain's medical skills also need more practice, and if he stays with Childe for a long time, the villain's medical skills will not improve an inch. β
Hua Tuo is a real person, and he will say whatever comes to his mind.
Hua Tuo means that I can't just practice medicine for you.
Seeing that Hua Tuo went to the doctor, Yuan Fu could only sacrifice a trick.
At that moment, Yuan Wei said to Hua Tuo: "Doctor Hua, have you ever thought about making your medical skills a doctrine?" β
"Let the villain's medical skills become a doctrine?" Hua Tuo was surprised and said, "Childe said that he laughed, how can the technique of disambiguation be compared with the doctrines of various schools?" β
"What's not worthy?" Yuan Wei said, "In the past Qin Dynasty, wasn't the doctor also one of the hundred? β
Hua Tuo was dumbfounded when he heard this, indeed, in the pre-Qin period, the doctor was indeed one of the hundred schools, but it was only later that Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty deposed the hundred schools of thought and respected Confucianism, and the status of the rest of the schools took a sharp turn for the worse.
Seeing that Hua Tuo seemed to be moved, Yuan Wei struck while the iron was hot and said: "Doctor Hua, I won't hide it from you, I have agreed with Mr. Ziyang on the whereabouts, and when I arrived in Jizhou, I asked my uncle Yuan Shao to guard Liaodong, and when I arrived in Liaodong, I immediately founded a medicine school in the county, and you served as a chair to teach surgery." β
Hua Tuo's eyes lit up immediately, if Yuan can really become the Taishou of Liaodong, if he can really run a medicine school in Liaodong, and let him serve as a chair to teach surgical skills, it is undoubtedly a great thing for medicine! Hua Tuo's concern was that his surgical skills could not be passed on.
However, Hua Tuo's eyes only lit up for a moment, and then immediately dimmed again.
There are not many readers in the world, and there are even fewer readers in just one Liaodong County.
There are only a few scholars, but I am afraid that everyone is vying to study Confucianism, how can anyone be willing to follow him Hua Tuo to study medicine? In the final analysis, medical skills are just a craft to support a family, and if you are in the sky, you can only be a doctor, while Confucianism can be used to enter the phase and seal the wife and son.
At that moment, Hua Tuo said: "Childe said that he laughed, there will be no scholar who is willing to study medicine." β
Of course, Yuan Wei also thought about this question, and then said: "Doctor Hua, if I say now that the scholars in Liaodong are willing to follow you to study medicine, it must be a lie, but please believe me, after arriving in Liaodong, I will try my best to guide the scholars of Liaodong to learn medicine, because, in Liaodong, medicine will have the same respectful status as Confucianism!" β
"It's impossible, it's impossible." Hua Tuo didn't believe it at all, shook his head and said, "Childe, if medical skills really have the same status as Confucianism, if the scholars of Liaodong really compete to study medicine, I am afraid that you will have to scratch your head again, because the scholars have all studied medicine, who do you rely on to govern the place for you and manage the army and the people?" β
Hua Tuo's meaning is that there are only so many scholars, and this group of people has studied medicine, but no one has learned Confucianism, so you can't let medical craftsmen who are proficient in medical skills govern the place and manage the military and civilian people, right? To put it simply, there are too few scholars and too few scholars in this era, which is an irreconcilable main contradiction.
Yuan Wei was prepared, turned around and snapped his fingers.
The shadow flashed, and Xiao Ruoliu walked out with a softcover book.
Yuan Wei took the paperback book from Xiao Ruoliu's hand, and then handed it to Hua Tuo.
Such a baby, Yuan Wei was originally not prepared to show it easily, but now, he can only let Hua Tuo have a sneak peek.
Hua Tuo took the paperback book a little confused, at first he didn't know what it was, but after seeing it clearly, his face suddenly changed, and he shouted: "The ancient text and book annotated by Old Master Zheng? β
Although Hua Tuo is a medical craftsman, he is also a scholar and a literate person.
And most importantly, Hua Tuo also knows the reason for the small number of readers.
The reason why the number of readers in the world is scarce is because books are expensive! In addition to those wealthy families, only the scholars from all over the world have books, and it is very difficult for the children of the Shu family to study, and it is precisely for this reason that the world's scholars can only come from the family and the scholars, and there are few children from the poor family.
Poor children like Guo Jia and Jia Xu can be said to be rare.
However, after all, the family is only a minority, and the scholar family is not much, so the total number of scholars has never been able to rise.
Hua Tuo held the book given to him by Yuan Wei, and vaguely felt that this book was very likely to change this pattern.
Sure enough, Yuan Wei said: "Doctor Hua, the book you are holding in your hand is only a hundred dollars, if it is printed in large quantities, the cost will be reduced, I can tell you responsibly, when I get to Liaodong, I can make the entire Liaodong, all the children of the poor family afford to read!" β
"Can all the poor children afford to read?" Hua Tuo Huo Ran changed color.
"Yes, I want to make it affordable for all the children of the poor family." Yuan Fu nodded, and said seriously, "So, you don't have to worry at all, no one wants to learn medical skills from you." β
After a pause, Yuan Wei further said: "In the future, if I can sweep the world, I will let all the children of the poor families in the world have the opportunity to study, and I will also make medical skills become a famous doctrine like Confucianism. β
"No, no, I'm not leaving, I'm not leaving." Hua Tuo shook his head again and again and said, "Childe, the villain is not leaving." β
"Good." Yuan Wei said happily, "Then you hurry up, this place is close to the mountain, there must be a lot of herbs in the mountain, I asked Wen Xiang to allocate five hundred soldiers to you, you can take them into the mountain to collect medicine." β
"Well, the villain is leaving." Hua Tuo rushed to receive the order.
When Hua Tuo had gone far, Xiao Ruoliu asked Yuan if he said, "Childe, what you said is true?" β
"You mean, so that all the poor children in the world can afford to read?" Yuan nodded and said, "It's true." β
Yuan Wei really didn't lie, he did have a grand idea in his heart, he did plan to build a university in Liaodong, and the president of this university had already been chosen, that is, Zheng Xuan, a master of scripture! Otherwise, Yuan Wei would not have deliberately borrowed Zheng Xuan's ancient texts and books from Liu Ye and printed them into a single volume.
But how difficult is it to achieve this goal?
For now, it's better to rest the army and talk about other things. (To be continued......)
