Of course, Li Gongfu would not really send people to arrest Xu Xian. There is no such crime in the laws of Dachu.
However, in order not to affect Xu Xian's future, Li Gongfu went to Xu Xian for a drink and reminded him by making insinuations.
Xu Xian said that the women in Jishitang are all refugees. If Jishitang does not take them in, their lives will not be settled, and they cannot do hard work like men, and the ending will be very miserable.
As for advocating equality between men and women, it was also because there were women in Jishi Hall who were criticized by the neighbors, so Xu Xian proposed equality between men and women. Since men can work as clerks in pharmacies, so can women.
After listening to Xu Xian's words, Li Gongfu had a strong sense of justice and expressed support for Xu Xian's actions.
From then on, when another scholar came to the county government to talk about this matter, Li Gongfu first tried to reason with him. If he couldn't make sense, he would have the government officials beat him out with sticks.
This action would cause big trouble. These scholars at least had the reputation of being scholars, and even had the title of scholar. Although Li Gongfu became the county magistrate, he did not have any reputation.
With the help of some great scholars, this matter was reported to Wu Xuan, the prefect of Hangzhou.
To the surprise of the scholars, Wu Xuan, who was born in the imperial examination, actually stood on the same side as Li Gongfu, and also tried to persuade Li Gongfu to get out without any results.
Wu Xuan's status is not ordinary. Not only does he have a background in Tongtian, but he also controls the Hangzhou garrison and the 30,000 Wuwei Army.
Ever since Kang Wang Zhao Gou was afraid that he would be killed by Xu Xian if he stayed in Hangzhou, he was so frightened that he returned to Jiangning. Wu Xuan was the biggest in Hangzhou.
If an inconspicuous scholar really offends him, Wu Xuan can directly execute him and then accuse him of being a thief. Not only will there be no excuse for him, but his family will also be harmed.
Scholars in Hangzhou dared to offend county magistrates like Li Gongfu.
Faced with Wu Xuan, who controlled the army, and without support, the scholars in Hangzhou could only retreat in despair, not even daring to let go.
The scholars were targeting Xu Xian not just to have nothing to do but because they were instigated by someone. Since they could not create trouble for Xu Xian through Wu Xuan and Li Gongfu, of course they had to use other methods.
The literati's pen is a weapon for killing people. They can write poems and articles, and they can also spread rumors.
The starting point of the rumor is Xu Xian's proposal for gender equality, which allows women to enter society and create their own value with their hands, no longer relying on men.
If men and women were truly equal, wouldn't the three thousand beauties in the harem be equal to the civil and military officials of the entire dynasty? Doesn’t it mean that they can also participate in political affairs?
Isn’t this the harem intervening in politics?
By extension, wouldn't the three thousand beauties in the harem and the emperor be equal?
The three thousand beauties in the harem are equal to the emperor, equal to the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty, and even equal to the traffickers and lackeys. Doesn’t this mean that everyone is equal?
Equality for all is a slogan put forward by rebels of all dynasties and generations.
Xu Xian is also saying that everyone is equal? Doesn't this mean rebellion?
As a result, rumors that Xu Xian was going to rebel also spread in Hangzhou.
Chu Huizong wanted to promote the Chu Alliance and was fully aware of Xu Xian's experience and the development of events in Hangzhou.
If the target were someone else, based on the principle of "it's better to kill the wrong person than let it go", Chu Huizong would directly let the assassins of the Xingchu Alliance take action.
Xu Xian not only destroyed 30,000 mighty troops, but also showed the domineering power of The Return of the King, which has shocked the world.
Chu Huizong wanted to take action against Xu Xian, but he had to decide whether it was worth it or whether he would get into trouble.
In the eyes of Chu Huizong, even if he couldn't take over a ruthless character like Xu Xian, he would try not to provoke him.
Therefore, the clamor of the scholars did not receive any response from Chu Huizong.
Xu Xian was simply too lazy to pay attention to them.
After returning from Shushan, Xu Xian's series of actions gave people such an unpredictable and profound feeling that even Kang Wang Zhao Gou was so scared that he retreated to Jiangning.
Xu Xian is indeed very handsome on the surface, but he knows his true strength.
If others are allowed to find out his true strength, let others know that he is not invincible, and investigate the matter of killing 30,000 mighty troops, Xu Xianke will really become a rebel.
No matter how the situation develops, only by improving your own strength can you better face the difficulties and dangers ahead.
The task given to him by the system is to accumulate merit to trigger mysterious rewards, and to summon more Red Shadow Army from Shu Mountain.
Xu Xian is a doctor, so he chose to save the world and save people.
After all, his personal abilities were limited, so Xu Xian chose to open several more Jishi Halls in Hangzhou to recruit apprentices, train talents, and promote modern medicine and treatment methods in the misty world.
Recruiting apprentices is not difficult. There are many poor families outside Hangzhou. As long as they have a living, they can do anything as coolies. Being an apprentice in Jishitang has high wages and good benefits, so everyone is eager to join.
It takes time to promote modern medical techniques. Each Jishi Hall in Xu Xian hired a traditional Chinese medicine doctor to take charge.
In order to deal with local troubles, Xu Xian took the name of King Kang Zhao Gou and said that it was opened in cooperation with King Kang and that a retired royal physician was in charge.
In fact, at the request of Xu Xian, these more than ten medical clinics were opened by Zhao Gou, who used his assets to purchase real estate and then use it to open medical clinics.
Xu Xian knew that under his business model, it was impossible for the medical clinic to make money. If there was still rent pressure, letting Zhao Gou buy the property would be a relief once and for all.
Zhao Gou felt guilty. In order to survive, he asked Xu Xian to do his best.
At Xu Xian's strong request, Zhao Gou actually found several retired imperial doctors.
Those traditional Chinese medicine doctors were originally very resistant to Xu Xian's unorthodox method of treating diseases through surgery, as well as to the various medicines that were promoted from heaven.
After verification, the Chinese doctors found that Xu Xian could easily cure what they considered to be terminal illnesses, and they couldn't help but look at Xu Xian with admiration.
Some more enlightened Chinese medicine practitioners began to attend Xu Xian's training classes with those apprentices.
Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing were bored and came to see Xu Xian, hoping they could help.
Xu Xian suddenly realized that there were no nurses or female doctors in his pharmacy.
Some detailed and unskilled tasks can be left to nurses.
The etiquette in Dachu is very strict. Some female patients do not seek medical treatment from male doctors, and avoid medical treatment. What started as a minor problem eventually led to serious illness, and even resulted in their death.
If there are female doctors, female patients will not have the psychological burden of seeing a doctor and can receive timely treatment.
After listening to Xu Xian's words, Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing turned into angels and rescued dozens of helpless young women in the disaster area.
Bai Suzhen and Xiaoqing also joined the training class with dozens of young women. Those with good qualifications and quick learners will become doctors, while those with average qualifications and poor learners will first become nurses. After accumulating enough experience, they can be promoted to doctors.
Xu Xian also proposed an idea to promote free love. Male and female students or drugstore clerks who like each other can go to him and he can help arrange marriage matters.
Except for a few old Chinese medicine practitioners, the doctors and nurses in Jishitang are all young people from poor families. They have nothing to begin with and accept new things quickly. In just over a month, they took more than ten couples together.
Not only do young women show their faces in Jishi Hall, there are also young men who love freely, skipping the orders of their parents and the words of matchmakers. This is a blatant challenge to the ethics of Da Chu.
Some scholars had received instructions from above to have trouble with Xu Xian, so they took this opportunity to write poems and articles condemning Xu Xian's deviance.
In order to rationalize the existence of female doctors and nurses, Xu Xian proposed equality between men and women and that women hold up half of the sky.
