Since Li Yongji sent a message to someone, all aspects naturally acted quickly, and it didn't take three days for Li Shanlan, Xu Shou, Hua Hengfang, Rong Hong, Huang Kuan, and Wang Tao and his party to arrive in Guangde County by carriage.
For this reason, Li Yongji also held a family banquet to entertain all the virtuous people who came from afar, this kind of behavior is just for others, but for Rong Hong and Huang Kuan, they are a little flattered.
The act of setting up a family banquet is a very intimate and very important expression in China at this time, and Rong Hong and Huang Kuan admit that they have no merit, and they have received such treatment as soon as they come, even if they usually think very highly of themselves, they are also a little apprehensive at this time.
You must know that although Li Yongji is currently being beaten as a rebel by the Qing court, and because the Jingwu Army has risen too fast, the battle record is too small, and the problems of transportation and communication, in addition to Jiangnan and nearby areas, there are many people in other places who are not optimistic about the Jingwu Army. However, having participated in the autumn harvest celebrations, witnessed the high-yield rice, and were also received by Xu Yongchang, and witnessed the majesty of the Jingwu Army garrison to arrest the reactionaries, they did not think that the Jingwu Army was a rabble, on the contrary, they had strong confidence in the victory of the Jingwu Army, which was all foreign-gunned.
In particular, Rong Hong, unlike Huang Kuan, was only active in Guangzhou in the past, and was not very interested in politics, Rong Hong actually had a strong mood to participate in politics at the moment, and he was very disgusted with the Qing court in his heart, and he had already had a set of ideas to learn from the West and transform China into modernization. And he once pinned this idea on the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom.
Because of this, he had been secretly collecting information about the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom for a long time, and wanted to find an opportunity to defect to the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom, but later the Jingwu Army defeated the famous general Li Xiucheng, who was pinned on by Rong Hong, in the next battle of Suzhou City, coupled with the fact that Shanghai and Suzhou were close at hand, he knew more about the situation of the Battle of Suzhou, so he knew that the Jingwu Army was so powerful.
At that time, Rong Hong began to hesitate, hesitating whether to take a look at the Jingwu Army first, after all, what the Jingwu Army did was more like what he idealized, but the Jingwu Army was still a soldier of the imperial court at that time. This disgusted him a little. Later, the Jingwu army launched a summer offensive again, and fell out with the Qing court because of the matter of Cao Yin and the matter of cutting braids.
But at that time, Rong Hong had not met Li Yongji, but he had heard Li Yongji's voice through the thing called the radio, and he admired Li Yongji's conversation very much during the conversation, and felt that the other party knew a lot about the West. But after all, listening to the voice is not as good as meeting, and when it comes to meeting, he still feels quite restrained, even if the other party is just a half-grown child.
Because of this. After Rong Hong saw Li Yongji for the first time, he acted extremely cautiously, even speaking in a low voice, and completely did not revert to his usual scolding Fang Xuan. I don't see the appearance of returnees at all.
Relatively speaking, although Huang Kuan was also meeting Li Yongji for the first time, his political intentions were smaller. In fact, he was more interested in the various dishes at the banquet, because although it was a family banquet, the dishes were really delicious and authentic Su cuisine.
After the real wine has passed three rounds and the dishes have passed the five flavors, Huang Kuan also slowly let go, but when he saw that Li Yongji at the banquet was still talking to Xu Shou and them, he stopped his chopsticks and began to ask Rong Hong next to him playfully, asking them what they were talking about.
"You, you know how to eat." Rong Hong scolded Huang Kuan in a low voice, and then began to explain, "They are talking about the university, Dashuai wants to build a modern university here that focuses on Western studies, and let Li Shanlan be the president, and at the same time plan to reform the imperial examination and attach importance to Western studies." ”
"Building a university? Reform of the imperial examination? Hearing this, Huang Kuan was also startled, and looked at Li Yongji who was talking eloquently again, "He is so bold." ”
It seemed that Huang Kuan's words were slightly louder, which attracted Li Yongji's attention, and it happened that he had just finished talking about a topic with Li Shanlan and others, so he turned his head to look at Huang Kuan: "This must be Mr. Huang, right?" Mr. Yung has mentioned your name to me many times, and I have long heard of Mr. Huang's talent, and it is indeed rare for you to obtain a medical doctor in the United Kingdom as a Chinese. ”
"Where, where, the big handsome smiled." Huang Kuan said embarrassedly.
"I talked to Mr. Rong at the beginning, I asked him what he wanted, and he said that he wanted to rejuvenate China, specifically, he wanted to devote himself to education first, so I gave him the title of Minister of Science and Education, and let him be in charge of our education reform, but some things were delayed before, so it was not implemented in detail." Li Yongji said with a smile, "Since Mr. Huang is willing to come to see me with Mr. Rong, it means that he agrees with our cause, and I have always welcomed a talent like you." I just don't know what else you want? For example, what official position do you want, or something else, after all, the rejuvenation of China is not a slogan, it must be practiced in a down-to-earth manner. ”
"That's right, you must practice in a down-to-earth manner, Dashuai is so right." Hearing the big hat of reviving China, Huang Kuan was also a little excited, "As for my request, in fact, I don't care much about the official position or something, I just want to build a Western-style hospital, but I am short of money and has not been able to make the trip. ”
"I see, just like I thought." Li Yongji nodded, "On this point, please rest assured, I will definitely establish a regular Western-style hospital, no, it can't be said to be a Western-style hospital, it should be a modern hospital." Hehe, to be honest, I have a lot of knowledge about modern medicine here, and to put it mildly, it is much more advanced than the so-called Western medicine you studied. ”
"Much more advanced than Western medicine?" Hearing this, Huang Kuan suddenly frowned, "With all due respect, as far as I know, the most advanced medicine in the world is currently in the West, what do you mean by being more advanced than Western medicine?" Could it be Chinese medicine? It's all witchcraft, and it's going to kill people. ”
"It seems that you have a deep prejudice against Chinese medicine." Li Yongji smiled, "I said it." The information I will show you is modern medicine, which is not synonymous with Western medicine, but a truly nuanced science. Of course, as a broad and profound empirical medicine, Chinese medicine also has many merits, which are different from witch doctors, but there are many dross in it, so that people misunderstand.
In fact, the reason why Chinese medicine is lagging behind is because China is lagging behind in science and technology as a whole, so we have missed a good opportunity for development. For the time being, it is not as fast as the development of Western medicine, and Western medicine seems to be advanced for the time being, which is only due to the credit of the entire scientific system of the West, but for the time being, Western medicine may not be better than Chinese medicine in treating diseases.
To be honest, if it is a common serious disease like pneumonia, tuberculosis, scurvy, etc., can you treat it with Western medicine? ”
"This ...... No. Huang Kuan shook his head.
"But I can cure it here." Li Yongji smiled.
"Can you cure it?" Huang Kuan frowned. "So those rumors are true, you really have a lot of magical special drugs in your elite army, and there are also a lot of magical medical skills? Could it be that it is modern medicine? ”
"That's right." Li Yongji nodded. "It is true that those special drugs have begun to be popularized in my elite army, so even if I have diseases such as pneumonia and scurvy in my elite army, it is insignificant at all, and it will be cured soon.
But let's be honest. I have a lot of special drugs, and there are many medical nurses who can do simple bandaging and simple administration, but there are very few who can really continue to study these. And so far, there are no real people who can do surgery, in other words, I don't have a person who can really stand up to the pillars of medicine.
In fact, after hearing about you, I was very happy, originally I really wanted to give you the Minister of Health or the Minister of Health, but then I thought about it, it is a bit condescending to let you do this, after all, the Minister of Health is more of a promotion official position, and you are more suitable for research.
Why don't you appoint you as the dean of China's first medical college, build a medical school for you, and also establish a comprehensive modern hospital affiliated to the medical school, during which you will not only give you all kinds of modern medical equipment that you have not seen, but also give you complete modern medical information, and what you have to do is to study these materials and equipment, and educate enough medical students for me, what do you think? ”
"Dean of the School of Medicine? Give me back a hospital. Huang Kuan's eyes lit up, "What you said is true?" ”
"Of course it's true." Li Yongji snapped his fingers, and Su Su, who was dressed in a short-sleeved cheongsam, walked up to Huang Kuan with a heavy hardcover book of sixteen carats in his hand.
"This is ......," Huang Kuan said in confusion.
"This book is called A Brief History of Modern Medicine, and it is a small gift from me." Li Yongji smiled, "In this book, the development process of modern medicine is comprehensively introduced, including the origin and development of medicine, not only traditional Chinese medicine, but also the origin of Western medicine, ancient Greek medicine, ancient Roman medicine, and even ancient Indian medicine and Middle Eastern medicine.
After you take a closer look, you will know that the so-called modern medicine is not Western medicine at all, but a worldwide subject, and at least so far, the world's medicine is still dominated by empirical medicine, but each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
For example, the reason why Western medicine seems to be relatively advanced is because after the Renaissance, there has been a heavy progress in anatomy, and since the birth of the microscope, there has also been great progress in the field of microbiology, but so far, Western medicine has not been able to surpass the real Chinese medicine.
Of course, Chinese medicine is not omnipotent, because in the face of modern medicine, Chinese medicine is also backward empirical medicine, because the spirit of modern medicine is to start from the cause of disease, and this involves all kinds of disciplines, such as the field of microbiology. In this regard, as far as I know, the Frenchman Pasteur has already begun to touch the threshold, and once his gooseneck test is successful, Westerners will know the role of microorganisms, and then understand how to avoid infection and inflammation. ”
Speaking of this, Li Yongji paused, looked at the stunned people around him, and cleared his throat: "I'm sorry, I'm excited for a while, I said so much." In fact, my meaning is very simple, that is, the information I have is much more advanced than the current West, so I hope that Mr. Huang can put aside his prejudices and study hard, not to cling to Western medicine and Chinese medicine, but to really take a long-term view. Well, what I'm saying, do you understand? ”
"In other words, what you talk about in this book is more advanced than the Western medical classics, right?" Huang Kuan took the book, and when he looked at it slightly, he found that the quality of the book was quite good, the book was full of snow-white paper, the font was clear and detailed, and it was not even oily!
You must know that even in the Western world, most of the books at this time are printed in ink, and because of the quality of the ink, you must be careful when reading the book, otherwise it is easy to get putty.
For example, newspapers in Western society at this time were already very popular, but many people even had to iron the newspaper with an iron in order to avoid getting their hands dirty, and books were the same, even if they were dried up, but if they were often turned by hand, they would still get a hand of putty.
But this book is different, the handwriting inside is clear, and there is no putty at all when you touch it, and this kind of paper and ink alone shows that this book is worth a lot of money.
Huang Kuan, who was reading it, couldn't put it down, and Li Yongji smiled: "If you like it, take it, it's already yours." ”
"Really give it to me?" Huang Kuan raised his head and looked at Li Yongji and confirmed it again.
"Of course." Li Yongji continued to laugh and said, "It's just a book, what I still have is that, if you go to the library I just built in the future, you will know what a mountain of books is." ”
Li Yongji's so-called library that had just been built was actually moved in its entirety, and it was a small library that had been divided into categories long ago in modern society, and it was directly transmitted. Naturally, the books in it have been specially dealt with, and some sensitive words and phrases have long been eliminated, as for those physics rankings, although they are still the same, such as volts representing electricity, etc., but they are just a noun, and they are nothing.
Seeing Huang Kuan's yearning look, Li Yongji continued: "Mr. Huang, the book I gave you is just a general introduction, it is to give you a door, let you see what modern medicine is like, if you really want to enter the threshold of modern medicine, you still need to learn more knowledge, of course, I have relevant knowledge here, and after you finish reading that book, you will naturally know what book to find to solve your doubts."
In my library, there are a lot of books about medicine, which record all kinds of medical knowledge, you can enjoy reading and learning, and later there is a hospital, so that you can enjoy the fun of experiments, and then you have to teach students, and you can also enjoy the fun of being a teacher.
Therefore, don't be blinded by your doctorate title, if you really want to devote yourself to the medical career, you need to calm down and study carefully, this is the demeanor and cultivation that a scholar should have. ”
Speaking of this, Li Yongji looked at Li Shanlan and them again: "It's the same for you, I have prepared more comprehensive books for you here, which are better than the library in Qingpu County." In the future, I will continue to send a large number of high-quality students, I don't want anything else, as long as you can do your studies with peace of mind, and thoroughly understand the various knowledge I give you, and pass on this knowledge, this is the greatest support for me and the entire Chinese nation!
