Chapter 219: Author of Materia Medica
Li Liu took out another 5,000 taels of silver and handed it to Ji Xue, and Ji Xue distributed the monthly money for the disciples in the future. He also ordered Yang Xiangjia to go down the mountain to Xingzi County, and recruited disciples to join Shui Yueliu. For the new disciples, for the time being, Elder Xiong Ming is in charge of teaching martial arts. All expenses are to be withdrawn from Ji Xue.
At this point, all the affairs of the water moon flow have been arranged. Because he was in a hurry to attend Lin Pingzhi's wedding, Li Liu's founding ceremony ten days later was just a hasty matter. However, he invited Yu Jizi, Lingzhi Zen Master, Jingyue Shitai and Xiao Qifeng and others to come over, and let the disciples casually practice a set of swordsmanship in the martial arts arena, and then eat and drink a meal.
Of course, this time, the Lingzhi Zen master came over to prepare congratulatory gifts. It was nothing more than some rare things such as silver taels or medicinal herbs, and Li Liu handed them all over to Ji Xue. Ji Xue chose a house next to the armory as a storehouse, and put all these things inside.
In the past ten days, more than thirty members of the Condor Gang have come to join the Water Moon Stream. Li Liu selected twenty-eight people with a loyalty of more than fifty to earn Shui Yueliu, and other people with ulterior motives did not drive them away. Instead, they were assigned to guard the city gates, and when their loyalty reached more than fifty, Li Liu would teach them martial arts.
Yang Xiangjia also recruited more than a dozen fresh blood to send to Shuiyue City, these newly recruited disciples naturally had no evil intentions, and their loyalty was above fifty, and Li Liu also accepted all of them. With Yang Xiangjia's activities in the county, Shui Yueliu's disciples are also increasing, and everything is developing for the better.
Early the next morning after the celebration, Li Liu summoned several elders to the main city council hall for a meeting. instructed everyone to take care of Shuiyue City, and then took Xu Jingyu and Ren Yingying to Huashan. Also accompanied by Yang Xiangjia and ten Shui Yueliu disciples. After all, he is already the head of a faction, and there is always pomp and circumstance. This time it was his most beloved brother Lin Pingzhi who got married, of course, he had to make it formal to support him.
Now the loyalty of the six elders has reached one hundred, and their martial arts have all been improved by several grades after being taught by Li Liu. With their current individual strength, they should be able to draw with the former Fei Bin. If Yin Jie provokes again, he can only be killed in seconds. Even if he encounters two or three Yin Jie besieged him, he can retreat with his whole body. Therefore, Li Liu did not have to worry about the safety of Water Moon City.
It is not far from Lushan to Huashan, and you only need to cross Haibei to enter the boundary of Qinxi Province where Huashan is located.
On this day, Li Liu and his entourage came to a small town called Qizhou Town in Qichun County, Huanggang, Haibei.
Li Liu and the others suddenly saw a lot of people gathered at the door of a medical hall in the town, and they could vaguely hear someone shouting inside. Li Liu motioned for Yang Xiangjia to go over and take a look, and after a while, Yang Xiangjia came back. Yang Xiangjia hugged his fist at Li Liu and said: "Head of Qiqi, there is a divine doctor in the medical hall in front. Someone who was cured came to thank him. ”
Li Liu listened attentively, and the person who was shouting inside really seemed to be shouting something like "Thank you to Doctor Li".
Li Liu smiled and said, "The doctor is benevolent, let's go over and see this miracle doctor together." ”
"Yes!" everyone responded, and they all followed behind Li Liu and walked towards the medical hall.
There were many people in front of the hall who watched the excitement, and when they saw that Li Liu and his party were all armed with swords and swords, they all automatically gave way to a way. After the people gave way to a road, Li Liu and the others could clearly see the situation in the courtyard inside. There were several people kneeling on the ground in the courtyard who were bowing to an old man with white hair and white beard, saying words like "thank you to the divine doctor for saving my life".
Li Liu did not enter the medical hall, but looked up at the signboard of this medical hall. I saw a red plaque hanging on the door, and it was written with three big characters of "Dongbitang".
After the people in the room thanked the miracle doctor, Li Liu asked Yang Xiangjia to go up and report. After a while, a little guy came out to lure Li Liu and the others in. After Li Liu and others walked into the yard, they found that there were many different varieties of plants planted in the yard. These plants are not flowers, but medicinal herbs.
The little servant led Li Liu and the others to a quiet room and sat down, and served fragrant tea.
Li Liu was sipping fragrant tea, but Xu Jingyu and the others were standing quietly behind him.
"Hahaha, it's fun to have friends from afar. Not long after Li Liu sat down, he heard an old laugh. Li Liu raised his eyes and saw that it was the divine doctor in the hospital who walked in just now. Li Liu hurriedly got up and saluted respectfully.
"Childe doesn't have to be polite, please take a seat. The divine doctor smiled kindly, quite like an elder.
Li Liu sat down according to his words, and the divine doctor asked again: "I heard that Gongzi is from Jiujianglu Mountain, and I see that Gongzi and others are all romantic figures in the rivers and lakes. I don't know what the so-called thing is when I come here to look for an old man? But someone in the house is sick?"
Li Liu took a sip of tea and said with a smile: "The divine doctor is bothered, Li Liu is going to Huashan to watch the ceremony for his friends." Passing by here, I saw the benevolence of the divine doctor and the heartbreak, so I came to visit. If there is any disturbance, please also ask the divine doctor Haihan. ”
The divine doctor waved his hand and said with a smile: "The son is serious, and he is old and old and uses medicinal materials and patients all day long, but few friends come to the door. The son is here, and no one in the house is sick, and he is overjoyed to be old. ”
Li Liu nodded, the real doctor who helps the world is not hoping that there will be more patients and increase income, but that no one in the world will get sick again. Li Liu hugged his fist at the divine doctor and said, "I haven't asked the divine doctor for his name, and Li has lost his courtesy." ”
The divine doctor laughed a few times, stroked his long beard and said: "Hahahaha, the guests are far away, and the old man should report to his home, it is the old man's rudeness." The old man's surname is Li, his name is Shizhen, the word Dongbi, and he is a native of the lake and mountains. ”
"What? Li Shizhen!" Li Liu stood up with a spirit, "The divine doctor has written a "Compendium of Materia Medica"?"
Li Shizhen didn't expect Li Liu to have such a big reaction when he heard his name, and said suspiciously: "Lao Yu once compiled a medical classic called "Compendium of Materia Medica", but this classic is not on the market. Where did Childe find out?"
"This ...... Li Liu heard an adult in the palace mention it by chance. Li Liu was almost stopped by Li Shizhen, recalling that Li Shizhen had worked as a imperial doctor in the palace, and his "Compendium of Materia Medica" was also compiled on the basis of the palace Chinese medicine book "Essence of Materia Medica". At that moment, I had an idea and said nonsense.
Li Shizhen didn't know that Li Liu was a big fool, and he didn't suspect it at the moment. nodded, and asked some more about the customs of Lushan Mountain. Li Liu and Li Shizhen blew for a while, and suddenly said: "Doctor Li's family has always been from Qizhou Town, right?"
Li Shizhen nodded and said: "The old family has been from Qizhou Town for generations. Why did Childe ask that?"
Li Liu smiled and said, "We are all families, I thought that Dr. Li's family also moved from southern Yunnan." ”
Li Shizhen shook his head and said: "The old family is all from Qizhou Town, isn't the son from Lushan? Could it be that he moved from southern Yunnan?"
Li Liu's old face turned red and said: "My ancestors were from Jiangxi, and later there was a flood and they fled to southern Yunnan. Now I have moved back to Lushan to live, but I have nowhere to find out where my ancestors are in Jiangxi. ”
Li Shizhen touched his beard and said, "I see." ”
Li Liu's eyes rolled and said to Li Shizhen: "Divine doctor, Li Liu is willing to invest 1,000 taels to print the "Compendium of Materia Medica" for the divine doctor. But the miracle doctor had to agree to Li Liu's condition. ”
Publishing books and fame was the most enthusiastic thing for the ancients, not to mention that the "Compendium of Materia Medica" was widely printed and shared with doctors all over the world, which was also a matter for the benefit of the people and for a thousand years. Li Shizhen spent decades compiling this medical codex, but did not have the funds to publish it.
Li Shizhen's eyes became hot, as if two flames had been thrown into his eye sockets. Li Shizhen said urgently: "I don't know what the conditions of the son are?"
Li Liudao: "As long as the divine doctor sets up a note, it is written that the ancestors of the divine doctor are the descendants of Yan and Huang for generations, and they live in Qizhou Town, Huaguo Lake, Beihuang, Gangqi, and Chun County. Then sign the name of the great doctor and press the handprint. ”
"It's that simple?" Li Shizhen thought that Li Liuken would definitely not put forward any general conditions if he paid the price of 1,000 taels of silver. I didn't think about it, but it was as simple as child's play.
The disciples of Shuiyue Liu were also unclear, only Xu Jingyu was the only one who covered her mouth and snickered. Ren Yingying turned her around and signaled her to be serious, and Xu Jingyu stopped.
This condition is so simple and worthless in the eyes of others, but it is extremely important in Li Liu's heart. The country of sticks in later generations is now the dynasty of Xian. These sticks have shamelessly insulted the Chinese people, saying that the four major inventions were all invented by the Chinese people. It is said that Qin Shi Huang is a native of the country of sticks, and Li Shizhen is also a native of the country of sticks, and it is said that Li Shizhen's "Compendium of Materia Medica" is a medical work of the country of sticks.
In today's dynasty, the king's surname is Li, and most of the people are surnamed Li, Huang, and Jin. Maybe it's for this reason that the stick country said that Li Shizhen is from their country. Li Liu, the angry youth of later generations, has come to this era. saw Li Shizhen's real person, of course he had to do something.
Li Shizhen saw that Li Liu's conditions were so simple, so he immediately wrote a note according to his words and pressed his handprint. Li Liu also took out 1,000 taels of silver and handed it to Li Shizhen according to the previous agreement. Li Liu called a disciple of Shui Yueliu, handed him the note, and took out another twenty taels of silver. instructed him to find a stonemason to carve a stele according to the note, and stood in front of Li Shizhen's east wall hall. Then the note was framed and sent to the Shuntianfu Museum, which is today's Beijing. If there is no museum, it will be handed over to Suncheon Mansion Yin, or presented to the emperor.
The current Wanli Emperor is no longer in court, no matter where this note can be handed over, whether it can be preserved or not, this is not something that Li Liu can control. Li Liu did it with the idea of doing his best to obey the destiny of heaven, even if this note cannot be preserved, the stone tablet in front of the east wall hall can prove something for future generations.
