Chapter 171: Zhang Zhongjing

Hua Tuo's three disciples were Fan A of Pengcheng, Wu Pu of Guangling, and Li Dangzhi of Chang'an.

Although the three of them are all disciples of Hua Tuo, the medical skills they have learned and are good at are different.

Fan A, proficient in acupuncture and pharmacology, in history, according to Hua Tuo's instructions, he continued to improve "Ma Boiling San" and promoted it to the people.

Fan Abi Hua Tuo is 19 years younger, and he is also the first person to learn medical skills from Hua Tuo. In terms of medical skills, Fan A is also the highest in medical skills among several apprentices, and is good at acupuncture, and he is also well-known during the Three Kingdoms period.

Doctors in this era, unlike Yuan Yao's later generations, only need to stay in the hospital, and the medicine stones needed in this era are all obtained by themselves, so they often need to go up the mountain to collect medicine. When Hua Tuo went up the mountain to collect medicine, some patients came to the door for some minor diseases, and their disciples would treat them on their behalf.

And Fan A, as a big disciple, is the one who often acts as a substitute doctor, because he has been following Hua Tuo for a long time, and his natural medical skills are more advanced.

In normal times, when Hua Tuo performed acupuncture and surgery on patients, Fan A was the one who stood next to him and handed over tools, because he was often in contact with these core things, over time, he also exercised Fan A's ability, and became the one with the strongest medical skills among several disciples.

The second apprentice, Wu Pu, summarized Hua Tuo's medical skills and wrote a book "Wu Pu's Materia Medica". Among Hua Tuo's apprentices, Wu Pu played the role of collecting medicine. He often followed his master Hua Tuo to the mountains to collect medicines, so he was relatively familiar with the medicinal properties of various herbs, but he was not very familiar with the development of medicines. Because of these jobs, he basically didn't do them.

The little apprentice Li Dangzhi, he sorted out Hua Tuo's medical books and wrote a book "Li Dangzhi's Medicine".

Li Dangzhi is the youngest of the three apprentices. So I did the dirtiest and most tiring work, and most of the time I was boiling medicine, and I couldn't touch the core of Huatuo's medical skills. So even the most basic acupuncture in Chinese medicine is not enough.

However, due to the long-term boiling of medicine, I am still familiar with the drugs for some common diseases. He is more proficient in the development of medicines than the other two disciples.

The three of them respectively master the three categories of Huatuo medicine, acupuncture, herbal medicine, and pharmacy.

As soon as the three of them arrived in the barracks, they eagerly inquired about Hua Tuo's news.

After all, they were Hua Tuo's apprentices, and Hua Tuo's sudden disappearance made the three of them very worried, and they were all afraid that something would happen to their master.

Now that I heard the news from Hua Tuo, I want to see if Hua Tuo is okay.

Yuan Yao ordered someone to take them to see Hua Tuo, and after seeing Hua Tuo, the three of them were very excited, and the four of them talked freely, and they understood the whole story.

Then Hua Tuo took the initiative to ask if the three of them were interested in building a medical school with him.

Naturally, these three people agreed without hesitation, jokes, why they didn't agree.

After all, although they have been following Hua Tuo for many years, they have not learned many medical skills, at most they are proficient in a certain subject, and they still want to study with Hua Tuo for a few more years.

And now, Hua Tuo wants to follow Yuan Yao to do what kind of medical school, just listening to them describe this medical school will make their blood boil, which is a great thing for the benefit of the people and the future.

They can do it together at this time, it is absolutely stained, how can they refuse.

With the addition of three people, the basic team of Yuan Yao Medical College can be regarded as a prototype.

Hua Tuo served as the dean of the medical school, and the three disciples served as professors in each subject, and as long as a few people discussed the teaching method, the medical school could actually start recruiting students.

And the first batch of students is also very easy, just find some children in the war-torn places.

Under this chaos, there are a lot of displaced people, and there are many fugitive homeless people who are dragging their families, and Yuan Yao is in the Bagongshan coal yard in Shouchun, and there are still many foster children.

Those kids were just going to be admitted to the medical school, and they were all happy to do it.

And after Hua Tuo joined, Yuan Yao simply let out his words, the medical school hires famous doctors with high salaries, as long as they feel that they have excellent medical skills, they can come for an interview.

At the same time, he planned to send people to Changsha to find Zhang Zhongjing, and invite Zhang Zhongjing to build a medical school together and serve as the vice president of the medical school.

However, after Yuan Yao told Hua Tuo the news, Hua Tuo frowned and quickly refuted it.

"Childe, do you want to invite Zhang Zhongjing?"

"Yes, Zhang Zhongjing is also a famous doctor, quite famous in the Nanyang area, and this person has a lot of research on typhoid fever, if he helps, presumably the construction of the medical school can be greatly improved."

When Yuan Yao said something, Hua Tuo also nodded again and again.

"Yes, I am familiar with Zhongjing, but it's a pity that Zhongjing was just canonized as Changsha Taishou by the imperial court last year."

"Right now, he should be in Changsha to take up his important position in Changsha, how can he come and build a medical school with us?"

Faced with Yuan Yao's question, Hua Tuo quickly answered for him.

Hua Tuo traveled south and north in his early years, and naturally went to Nanyang, at that time there was a famous doctor named Zhang Bozu in Nanyang, and Zhang Zhongjing was the disciple of this Zhang Bozu, Hua Tuo knew his master Zhang Bozu, and Zhang Zhongjing was also familiar with him, so when he heard Yuan Yao's words, he did not refuse.

However, in the face of Hua Tuo's questioning, Yuan Yao did smile.

He naturally knew that Zhang Zhongjing was serving as a taishou in Changsha at this moment, but Zhang Zhongjing was not interested in being an official, and even hated officialdom since he was a child and despised his career. However, because his father had been an official in the imperial court, and the officials at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty recommended most of them were children of the family, Zhongjing was a wealthy family in Nanyang, and he was an official because he inherited the family.

But Zhang Zhongjing prefers to study medical skills, to what extent is he obsessed?

At the end of the Han Dynasty, officials could not casually enter private houses and approach the people. But without contact with the people, Zhang Zhongjing would not be able to treat them, and his medical skills would not be able to grow. So Zhang Zhongjing came up with a way, and decided to open the yamen on the first and fifteenth days of each month, without asking about political affairs, and let the sick people come in.

He asked the officials to post a notice to tell the people the news. His actions caused a strong shock in the local area, and the people all applauded and supported Zhang Zhongjing even more.

Over time, a routine has formed. On the first and fifteenth days of the Lunar New Year, people from all walks of life seeking medical treatment gathered in front of his yamen, and some even came from afar with luggage. Later, people called the doctor who sat in the pharmacy to treat people as "sitting doctor" to commemorate Zhang Zhongjing.
