Cao Zhang was pleasantly surprised when he saw Li Jin coming back, rushed forward to meet him, and asked excitedly, "Ji, you are back, have you invited Doctor Zhang?" ”

Li Jin looked at Cao Zhang and nodded gently, and then gestured with his hand to tell Cao Zhang that Zhang Zhongjing was already waiting in the front hall.

Cao Zhang patted Li Jin's shoulder gratefully: "Season, you have worked hard, go rest first, and I have a good gift for you when I turn back!" ”

Li Jin respectfully saluted Cao Zhang and stepped back.

Cao Zhang immediately instructed Xu Shu and Sima Lang: "Yuan Zhi, you go back and follow what I just told you to step up the production." Boda, you greet Dr. Zhang for me first, and I'll go change my clothes and come over right away. ”

Xu Shu and Sima Lang agreed to leave, while Cao Zhang quickly turned back to the room to change clothes.

After a while, Cao Zhang changed into a pair and came to the front hall, Sima Lang had already accompanied Zhang Zhongjing to take a seat, and when he saw Cao Zhang come in, the three of them hurriedly got up together to greet each other.

Cao Zhang looked at Zhang Zhongjing, who was in his forties, thin and bright-eyed.

Cao Zhang respectfully saluted Zhang Zhongjing: "Zhang envoy Jun is benevolent, traveling thousands of miles, and Cao Zhang is here to thank you!" ”

Zhang Zhongjing hurriedly returned the salute: "Although the lower officials are officials in the court, they always regard themselves as doctors, and it is within their duty to treat diseases and save people. Childe can give away secret recipes, which can save thousands of patients in the world, which is the blessing of all people. The lower officials are just running around a little, what is it? Dare to ask Gongzi where the patient is now, and the lower official will immediately diagnose and treat him. ”

Cao Zhang hurriedly said: "Zhang Yuanjun has worked hard all the way, how can he go to diagnosis and treatment without resting?" I have already arranged for someone to prepare hot water and fragrant soup, so that you can bathe and wash the dust, and even prepare a wine banquet to catch the wind. Wait for my husband to rest for a day, and it's not too late to go to the clinic tomorrow. ”

Zhang Zhongjing frowned, and said anxiously: "Diseases are changing rapidly, especially the plague, which can harm people's lives at any time, how can it be delayed?" The son's enthusiasm is understood by the lower officials. It's better to ask the son to bring the official to the doctor to treat the patient first. ”

Cao Zhang saw Zhang Zhongjing's expression, knew that he was a famous doctor, and he was really the heart of the doctor's parents, so he admired it, and he didn't dare to deceive again, so he got up and saluted respectfully: "Zhang Zhijun hangs the pot to help the world, and the emergency is within the reach of the patient, this benevolence is deeply admired, so I dare not hide it anymore, in fact, my girlfriend is not sick." ”

Zhang Zhongjing was stunned when he heard Cao Zhang's words, and looked at Cao Zhang with wide eyes in shock: "What does Childe mean by this?" ”

Cao Zhang hurriedly explained the origin of the incident to Zhang Zhongjing in detail.

After hearing this, Zhang Zhongjing suddenly realized, let out a sigh of relief, and then said with a smile: "It turns out that this is the case, and no one is sick, so the lower official's heart is steady." Then I'll cooperate with my son to play this scene. ”

Cao Zhang saw that Zhang Zhongjing was first glad that no one was sick, but he did not complain at all, and admired him even more.

"Thank you Zhang Yuanjun, in fact, I invite you to come to Xudu, in addition to helping me act, helping my girlfriend survive this catastrophe, there is one more thing to ask for." Cao Zhang hurriedly explained to Zhang Zhongjing.

"If there is anything else that Childe has to send, please do not hesitate to command." Zhang Zhongjing responded.

"Zhang Yuanjun, I have a reluctant request below, I hope you can stay in Xudu. I can provide all the convenience for the envoy, so that you can live in peace. Cao Zhang expressed his intention to Zhang Zhongjing to stay.

"Thank you Childe for your kindness, Childe's meaning, don't you also want me to serve you?" Zhang Zhongjing immediately sensed the intention behind Cao Zhang.

"I do have this idea and plan in the next place, I wonder if Zhang Yuanjun can agree?" Cao Zhang saw that Zhang Zhongjing directly broke the topic, and he was no longer subtle, and asked directly.

"Cao Gongzi, Xia Guan actually only wants to practice medicine to help the world, I am an official in Jingzhou, but it is only because of the state and county, I can't shirk it. If I covet an official position, why should I go to Xudu and stay in Jingzhou. The son is kind, and the officials have it, but I still hope to serve more people who need healing, and I don't want to be an official. Zhang Zhongjing bluntly rejected Cao Zhang's invitation.

Cao Zhang said to Zhang Zhongjing with a smile: "Zhang Yuanjun, you said that you hope to treat more patients, but I think that when you return to Jingzhou, not only can you not save more people, but more people will not be treated!" ”

"When I go back to Jingzhou, why can't I save more people?" Zhang Zhongjing retorted unconvinced.

"As far as I know, as a Changsha Taishou, you naturally can't go in and out of people's houses at will to diagnose and treat the people. Therefore, you issued a notice to reassure the people, and decided to open the yamen on the first and fifteenth days of each month, regardless of political affairs, to treat the diseases of the people. Cao Zhang asked Zhang Zhongjing.

"It is true that on the first and fifteenth days of the Lunar New Year, I will specifically diagnose and treat people from all walks of life, and deal with government affairs the rest of the time, and the two have no impact." Zhang Zhongjing replied.

"Okay, then I would like to ask below, except for the first and fifteenth days of the new year, if someone is sick, how should they find the envoy for diagnosis and treatment?" So that Jun medical skills are superb, and there are countless visitors from all over the world, how can you do everything in just one day? Even if you receive patients all day long on the first and fifteenth days of the new year, how many people can you diagnose and treat? Wouldn't those who didn't take a fancy to it have to wait for half a month?! ”

"As you just said, patients are changing rapidly, if the patient's condition is delayed because you can't sit in the hall for continuous diagnosis and treatment, do you save them or harm them?" Cao Zhang bluntly questioned Zhang Zhongjing.

Zhang Zhongjing frowned after hearing this, realizing that this was indeed a very difficult problem, but he didn't know how to solve it.

"Then when I return to Jingzhou, I will resign and not do it, it's a big deal to travel the world and concentrate on practicing medicine." Zhang Zhongjing pondered for a moment and gave his own solution.

"Although the idea of making the king is good, it is also unrealistic. For example, today's strife, frequent wars, and traffic blockages make you travel everywhere, but how do patients who want to ask for medical treatment know? ”

"Let me ask, if it weren't for the envoy serving as the Taishou in Changsha and becoming famous all over the world, how would I be able to arrange for my subordinates to invite him? How could the envoy come to Xudu? Cao Zhang asked Zhang Zhongjing very seriously.

Zhang Zhongjing was stunned when he heard Cao Zhang's words, and he didn't think about this question clearly.

"Envoy, you are traveling around like this, and the people who want to ask for medical treatment can't find you, and if you can't get timely treatment, you may be delayed or even killed because of this, so do you think your parade of medicine is saving people or harming people?!" Cao Zhang threw this question at Zhang Zhongjing again.

Zhang Zhongjing was more and more embarrassed by Cao Zhang's words, and he didn't know how to answer.

"What's more, the envoy is now past the age of not being confused, and he is no longer the age to travel the world and increase his experience. It was time to open the museum and spread the word about medical skills. ”

"I ask the envoy to stay in Xudu to work for me, not to enter the office, but to open a medical hall, and ask the envoy to sit in the hall and practice medicine."

"I will also announce to the world at the same time, so that everyone knows that you have opened a museum to practice medicine in Xudu, so that more people can find the envoy in time for treatment. Isn't this much better than making you stay in Jingzhou, or travel the world?! ”

"Of course, even if the envoy is not an official, I will also pay you a salary on a monthly basis, and I will never let the envoy have any worries. I don't know what to do with your will? Cao Zhang put forward his own conditions to Zhang Zhongjing.

Zhang Zhongjing couldn't help but be moved when he listened to Cao Zhang's conditions, he hesitated for a moment, and asked: "Childe's arrangement is extremely appropriate, but what good is it for you to do this?" ”

Cao Zhang said with a smile: "Of course there are benefits, and there are many benefits." While the envoy sits in the hall to practice medicine, he can recruit a wide range of disciples and spread medical skills. When the world is full of peach and plums, more patients can be treated. ”

"The envoy does not want to enter the office, but your disciples have learned your medical skills, they can enter the office, and they can serve under my father's command and treat the officials and soldiers of the imperial court, so for me, isn't it more beneficial than serving only the gentleman?!" Cao Zhang told Zhang Zhongjing his true intention to ask him to serve.

In the future, Cao Cao's troops will fight in all directions, and there will definitely be wounded soldiers at any time.

Moreover, the weather in the north is very cold, epidemics occur from time to time, and famous people such as Sima Lang and Wang Cang in history died of the plague.

How can Zhang Zhongjing be able to treat these patients alone?!

However, if Zhang Zhongjing can train a group of medical officers and military doctors with excellent medical skills while opening a museum to practice medicine, it can greatly reduce the number of illnesses among officials and the attrition of soldiers due to injuries and illnesses, and the benefits will be considerable.

On the way back from Chang'an, Cao Zhang thought of this question and decided to invite Zhang Zhongjing, he had already made plans.

Zhang Zhongjing listened to Cao Zhang's words, stroked his beard, nodded slightly, and felt more and more that Cao Zhang's arrangement was more suitable for him.

Staying in Xudu to open a museum to practice medicine can make it convenient for patients to visit their homes, no longer be an official, and they can also have more energy to devote themselves to medical research and diagnosis and treatment of patients.

And by widely accepting disciples, you can spread your medical skills and treat more patients, which is indeed a good thing for thousands of years.

Zhang Zhongjing no longer hesitated, made up his mind, he got up and respectfully saluted Cao Zhang: "The prince has arranged it so carefully, the lower officials have no objections, and they are willing to stay in Xudu and wait for the son's dispatch." ”

Cao Zhang was overjoyed, and hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand to support Zhang Zhongjing: "Doctor Zhang doesn't need to be polite. ”

In fact, Cao Zhang left Zhang Zhongjing, in addition to the benefits just mentioned, there are two other things that he has not yet said.

One is that after all, he is also studying medicine, and he has been in contact with traditional Chinese medicine before, and now that he has such an ancient famous doctor by his side, he can also ask for more advice if he has nothing to do, and exchange his knowledge of modern medicine with Zhang Zhongjing, and both of them can improve their medical skills.

Another idea is that Cao Zhang hopes to discuss and study with Zhang Zhongjing the prescriptions and brewing methods of some modern Chinese medicine pills that he has memorized in his mind.

After all, the diagnosis and treatment of traditional Chinese medicine in this era is still mainly based on boiling decoction, although the effect is better, but it takes a long time, and many medicinal materials are not conducive to carrying and using in the army.

If you can make some pills for colds and flu and other chronic diseases, you can use them for the march and sell them appropriately to generate profits.

"Dr. Zhang came from afar, and he has nothing to give, so I will give you a small thing as a meeting gift." Cao Zhang said, took out something from his arms and handed it to Zhang Zhongjing.

Zhang Zhongjing took it and looked at it, the item was the size of a palm, it was six pieces of gauze overlapped together, the edges were sewn together with needles and threads, and then the ribbons were matched on both sides, which looked very novel.

"Dare to ask Childe, what is this?" Zhang Zhongjing asked curiously.

Sima Lang stepped forward and explained: "Doctor Zhang, this thing was invented by my son-in-law, and he named it a mask. Because Miss Guo Zhao claimed to the outside world that she was suffering from the plague and needed isolation and protection in the paper mill, after the son came back, he asked me to make this thing with silk gauze. ”

"Although this thing is small, after wearing it, it can protect the mouth and nose, resist the invasion of foreign poisons, and prevent the spread of the epidemic, which has an excellent effect."

Zhang Zhongjing tried to put on the mask after listening, and sure enough, it did not affect his breathing, and he felt the protective effect.

Cao Zhang's epidemic was rampant before, thanks to the role of masks in blocking the transmission.

He thought that the paper mill should be quarantined, and to prevent the epidemic in the future, he also had to prepare early, so he combined the production method of the "Wu's mask" he saw in the history books, and created a simple "mask" to distribute to everyone, and now he transferred it to Zhang Zhongjing, hoping to use this meager power to help Zhang Zhongjing treat more patients......

Zhang Zhongjing knew that the mask would be of great help to his future medical practice, and once again expressed his deep gratitude to Cao Zhang: "Gongzi is kind, thank you below!" ”

"The doctor doesn't have to be polite, the matter has been negotiated, so please go to the bath and rest first, have dinner together, and catch the wind for Mr." Cao Zhang smiled and made arrangements......
