"Medicine must be rigorous and cannot play with the patient's life, but at the same time, reality must also be considered."
Xu Fenglei said in a deep voice,
"In vast rural areas, a barefoot doctor with little expertise can save the lives of many people."
"Their biggest flaw is that their medical methods are too narrow. They often only have three or even one ax. If it doesn't work, there will be no cure."
"So, what we have to do is to increase their medical methods, teach them some simple, crude and effective methods, and enrich their methods. Even two or three more will be good. Two or three more, maybe we can get more Save the lives of hundreds of people."
"This is the purpose of compiling the "Barefoot Doctor's Manual"."
Sun Simiao slowly stroked his beard.
"I understand what you mean."
He said,
"Remove the profound aspects of medicine and keep only simple and effective prescriptions."
"For example, wind-chill syndrome has many symptoms, some of which attack the lungs and some of which invade the surface. But no matter what, using Bupleurum decoction and other diaphoretic prescriptions will definitely be effective."
"For wind-heat symptoms, medicines such as Yinqiao and Houttuynia cordata are also universally applicable."
"According to this idea, write some standard formulas. Even if it cannot cure the disease quickly, it can at least provide relief!"
Xu Fenglei nodded repeatedly.
"Yes, yes, that's what I mean!"
"We don't require medicine to cure the disease. That requires dialectics. What we want is universality. One prescription can cure a large area! As for the speed of the effect, it depends on the patient himself."
Sun Simiao pondered for a moment and sighed softly:
"This is really contrary to my medical spirit..."
"However, you are right, you must consider the actual situation."
"If you raise the level of the barefoot doctor, you can save the lives of countless people in the world. No matter what, this is a good thing!"
"However, I still hope that one day in the future, there will be enough talents in the medical school and sufficient medical resources in various parts of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, the ones responsible for rural patients will be truly capable and good doctors!"
Xu Fenglei grinned.
"If the current momentum continues, there will come a time, for sure."
He is very confident.
The mechanism for cultivating talents has gradually matured. After running for decades or hundreds of years, Datang will definitely not be short of doctors!
"Then let me start writing this "Barefoot Doctor's Manual"!"
Sun Simiao raised the brush and said seriously,
"It is said that simplicity is the most important thing, and the same is true for medicine! This manual must be easy to understand and practical at the same time!"
"To make it simple and easy to use, this is a little more difficult to write than the "Inscription of Preserving God and Refining Qi". It may take me more than half a month to write it."
Xu Fenglei waved his hands repeatedly.
"Don't say half a month, it's fine for a year or a half!"
He continued,
"As long as you're willing to write!"
"I have a hunch that once this manual is published, it will definitely benefit everyone in the world and countless lives!"
"At that time, let alone the title of Medicine King, I can accept it calmly even if you are directly named the Medical Saint and Medicine God! Really!"
Sun Simiao ignored Xu Fenglei's flattery and took out a blue-threaded book from the cabinet and wrote six characters on the cover - "The Barefoot Doctor's Manual"!
"Write a name first. I haven't decided yet what to write on the first prescription."
He put away his brush and smiled,
"I have to be more cautious and try to be as perfect as possible."
"By the way, listen, I have another idea in my mind. Can you see if it can be implemented?"
"Please speak." Xu Fenglei raised his hand and said.
"I want to start a free clinic in Chang'an City, without charging any fees, and provide free medical treatment to all people."
Sun Simiao said with emotion,
"After all, I still feel uneasy after being granted the title of King of Medicine and not doing anything practical for the people."
Xu Fenglei glared.
"Are you trying to cause a sensation in the whole city?"
He said in astonishment,
"Sun Simiao, Sun Zhenren, will attend the consultation in person, and this is a free consultation. I'm afraid those who are fine will come and line up to ask you to take a look and feel your pulse."
"Not to mention someone who is really sick... As soon as the news of you was released, can you believe that in an instant, countless people would sleep in the streets with tents and wait for you?"
Sun Simiao: "..."
"Is it so exaggerated?"
Lao Suntou held his forehead.
"It will only be more exaggerated, my Master Sun Da."
Xu Fenglei spread his hands and said,
"You are a miracle doctor who is famous all over the world. Any illness in your hands will be dealt with easily!"
"Not to mention free clinics, even if you pay 100 taels of silver for a consultation, there will be a long queue in front of you! Those who have no money to afford medical treatment, or even sell their property, have to raise enough money to see a doctor!"
In future generations, a Concorde expert account can fetch sky-high prices.
Not to mention the number of Sun Simiao, the number one genius doctor in the world in this era.
"That's...ok."
Sun Simiao thought for a moment and then said,
"But I still want to do this. I don't care whether it will cause a sensation. I just want to make a small contribution."
"I will ask all my disciples to go to the clinic together, ten of them, for three days."
He doesn't have many disciples. Counting Li Lizhi and Lin Xing, two close disciples, and the others together, they can make up ten.
"Good boy, the Sun Sect's miracle doctor is here for consultation, as well as Li Lizhi, the princess, and Lin Xing, the chief physician."
Xu Fenglei couldn't help but clicked his tongue and said,
"I'm afraid this topic is going to be full! There's going to be a riot in Chang'an!"
"When Xuanzang comes back, no one will care about him. They will all go to your place to queue up!"
"Tsk, tsk... Master Sun, this move of yours is really good!"
Xuanzang's return is certainly legendary and worth watching.
But the Tang people are more pragmatic! I only eat melon when I have free time. Now, lining up for free clinics for myself or my family is the right thing to do!
Even if you are not sick, it is good to check your health!
"Don't talk nonsense, I don't have that intention..."
Sun Simiao spat,
"When Xuanzang arrives in Chang'an, I will end the free clinic and not steal his limelight."
"It is best for Buddhism and Taoism to thrive in harmony and harmony. We must not engage in any secret fights. Those who do that are definitely not cultivators!"
He doesn't have so many tricks and tricks.
"Okay, Mr. Sun is so upright and upright. It is only through the heart of a villain that you can judge the heart of a gentleman."
Xu Fenglei cupped his hands and said happily,
"In that case, how about I arrange the venue and publicity?"
"Actually, there is no need to publicize much. Just shout at the city gate and say that Sun Simiao and Sun Zhenren are going to have a medical consultation in Chang'an!"
"Believe it or not, in less than half a day, people in the whole of Chang'an and even other capitals will know about it! There will even be people from other capitals coming to Chang'an day and night to seek medical advice!"
"The scene will be huge when the time comes, can you withstand it?"
Sun Simiao stroked his beard gently.
"I have not grown in vain. After all, I have experienced hundreds of battles."
He said confidently,
"Can stand it!"
"Go ahead and make arrangements!"
"Okay! Just take a look!" Xu Fenglei turned around and walked out of the house without talking nonsense.
Sun Simiao watched him leave, then turned his attention to the "Inscription of Preserving God and Refining Qi".
He still wanted to write again, but at this moment, his mind was a little wandering, but he couldn't write anymore.
"It's better to be silent about the medical book, this time it's a big battle..."
He closed his eyes and murmured softly.
…
The next day.
Under Xu Fenglei's simple operation, the news of Sun Simiao's free clinic exploded in Chang'an!
As he expected, outside the Dongcheng Gate, which was selected as the free clinic site, it was instantly overcrowded. Many people chose to lay on the floor and just wait!
This directly caused the traffic in Chang'an to be paralyzed. The city guards tried their best to clear the traffic, but they couldn't do it.
Xu Fenglei immediately made a decision and set up free clinics outside the four city gates and inside and outside the relatively vacant Chengnan Academy. There were five free clinics in total. They were staffed by Sun Simiao, Lin Xing, Li Lizhi and two other senior disciples!
For the remaining five people, one person went to each location, so that two doctors were present at the five free clinics.
Such an arrangement still had some effect, and a diversion was immediately formed.
Although there were still the largest number of people at the east gate, the traffic was not completely paralyzed. The city guards, Jinwu guards, and Yi guards came together, and they could barely maintain order.
As time goes by, more and more people and carriages pour into Chang'an, and countless well-informed visitors from outside the country flock to Chang'an, making this already extremely densely populated super city even more explosive!
All this naturally alarmed the court and the emperor.
"This scene is so spectacular..."
Li Shimin stood on the tower. Looking at the dense crowd of people below, my scalp felt a little numb.
Looking up, the people gathered into a black tide!
There are them in every direction!
If this group of people suddenly attacked Chang'an, he, the emperor, would be in danger!
"Do you have a deeper understanding of 'the people are like water and the king is like a boat'?"
Xu Fenglei stood beside him and said with a smile,
"The people are as docile as water, but if they riot, it will be a tsunami that can drown anything!"
Li Shimin nodded with deep understanding.
"Yes... comparable to hundreds of thousands of powerful soldiers, even more powerful than soldiers! Because soldiers can be controlled, but ordinary people are not so easy to control!"
He sighed,
"I didn't expect that the first person to be able to gather so many people would be a doctor."
"I have experienced Master Sun's appeal this time. It is really jaw-dropping..."
As the emperor, Li Shimin was instinctively afraid of such a charismatic figure. If he had not trusted Sun Simiao, he would have urgently stopped this free clinic.
With your raised arms, the world will follow! What if the court is dissatisfied with the emperor?
"It also shows from the side how scarce Datang's medical resources are."
Xu Fenglei said in a deep voice,
"For a free clinic, people came not only from Chang'an, but also from other capitals, queuing up day and night just to see Master Sun."
"If a great doctor like Sun Zhenren... No, there is no need for someone of his level, two levels lower than him. If the Tang Dynasty could have tens of hundreds of them, distributed all over the country, it wouldn't be like this... "
Li Shimin turned to look at him.
"What else do you want to ask for?"
Li Er was a little wary.
Xu Fenglei laughed dumbly.
"How did your Majesty know that I was going to make a request?"
Li Shimin snorted softly.
"I don't know you yet? I know what you are going to fart as soon as you stick your butt out."
He said,
"Every time I get serious, nothing good happens."
"Eighty percent of it is about money and policies."
"Stop being pretentious and just tell me!"
Xu Fenglei touched his nose and said awkwardly:
"Are all my tricks so obvious?"
"Ahem...it's nothing. It's just that Zhenren Sun and I have put together a plan to publish a "Barefoot Doctor's Manual", which will be used to serve people all over the world..."
With that said, he recounted what he had said to Sun Simiao to Li Shimin again.
"Oh? This is a good thing!"
Li Shimin raised his eyebrows and said,
"If doctors with poor abilities can be trained in batches, they can also be put to great use!"
"I support your idea, and the imperial court will provide financial support and policy convenience. This is a good thing that benefits all people, and I want to take advantage of it!"
No credit is too much.
Because Li Er has had stains in his past, he will never let go of any deeds that can glorify him!
"Your Majesty is holy."
Xu Fenglei cupped his hands and said,
"It would be best if the imperial court could promote this matter."
"As for the credit, you and Sun Zhenren should be evenly split, I just need to get some credit."
Li Shimin glanced slightly sideways.
"You boy, you have become more upright and upright."
He hummed softly,
"Humph! I am not the kind of selfish monarch. This power of benefiting the common people is great enough, so we can all benefit from it together."
"After all, you came up with this idea, how can you just get some credit?"
Xu Fenglei smiled.
Li Er has many advantages, and generosity is one of them.
While the two were chatting, deafening cheers suddenly erupted from below!
But I saw an old man with gray hair and childish face slowly walking out of the city gate under the crowd and attention of countless people...
"Let's go."
Li Shimin took out his ears and smiled helplessly,
"This noise is too loud. If I stay here any longer, I'm afraid my ears will go deaf."
"Go back to the palace..."
Xu Fenglei nodded.
To the common people, Sun Simiao was like a god, and everyone watched and worshiped him.
But to him, he is just a serious but a little cute little old man. The two of them meet often, so there is no need to look at him like a god.
"The monks at Xingguo Temple are probably going to have a headache."
Li Shimin came down from the tower and suddenly said this out of the blue.
Xu Fenglei grinned.
"No, I have a sense of propriety. We won't engage in a fight between you and me."
…
That day, Xingguo Temple.
All the monks gathered in front of the fasting hall, looking at the fasting meal in front of them, waiting for it to be served.
"Eat."
Temple Supervisor Yuanyin glanced at the monks, suddenly frowned and asked,
"Huh? How come these positions are vacant? Where did they go?"
Monks in the temple are not allowed to go out at will. They have to ask for leave when they go out for business, and they have to cancel their leave when they come back. It is very strict.
Normally, at most one or two monks take leave to go out.
But today... there are more than ten spots available!
This is so unusual!
"Return to the prison, uncle."
A young monk responded,
"They... they were sick and they all went to Sun Simiao's free clinic."
