In the era of promoting filial piety and honesty, ordinary people had no possibility of getting ahead. The key was that aristocratic families controlled the cultural context and monopolized the right to study. The aristocratic families then connected through in-laws and joined forces to maintain class barriers, directly cutting off the class barriers. The upward path for ordinary people.
The decline of the aristocratic family was due to the imperial examination system. There was no imperial examination in this era, and it was impossible for Lan Tian to suggest Liu Bei to conduct the imperial examination because there were no basic conditions, that is, there were too few people studying.
Quanling Academy has been established for a while, and the content taught has gradually become known. At this time, Lantian quietly added some cultural content, and slowly penetrated it through concealment. As long as the warm water was slowly heated, he did not guarantee that Liu Bei would be able to Running a school can be achieved in the land of Jingnan.
The education process of children from aristocratic families, in addition to truly learning knowledge and understanding things, is more important through the bond of teachers, getting to know students of the same background, and then becoming famous through teachers. It is very similar to the aristocratic schools of later generations, but as talented as Zhuge Liang Not much real stuff.
After hearing this, Liu Bei thought for a long time and said: "Ziyu, this road is very difficult, but I have full confidence in you, but a thousand-character essay alone may not be enough to cultivate talents..."
"This has to be done slowly. First learn to read and then learn literature. I will have people sort out useful books, and then mass-produce them through workshops. After a certain scale is reached, new content will be added slowly, and the aristocratic family will be weakened by running schools. Isn't it? What can be accomplished overnight, if I can't still have Yuan'er, Ji'er and the others..." Lan Tian said with a smile.
"The road is long and long..." Liu Bei sighed.
"Although the road is long, you must reach it. If you don't get rid of this old disease, even if your brother-in-law can help the Han Dynasty, the world will still belong to the aristocratic family..."
"I already understand Ziyu's ambition. You are being cautious and I won't say anything more. It's getting late at this time. I wanted to go to a few military workshops to see it, but I'll leave it until tomorrow."
Seeing that Liu Bei was still unfinished, Lantian said, "Mr. Hua's medical school is not far from here? Master, do you want to go and have a look? I don't know how he gets along with Zhang Zhongjing..."
Liu Bei smiled slightly: "Although Zhang Zhongjing comes from a wealthy family, the so-called benevolence of a doctor must know how to be humble and accept courtesy."
Lan Tian nodded, and he called Zhuge Liang, Lai Gong, Gao Shun and Chen Dao who were accompanying them, and prepared to go to Chengnan Medical Hall in the south of the city.
Before going out, Lan Tian said to Jiang Wan: "Gong Yan, I think there isn't much going on in the school now, so you can come over and take a look."
"Wei." Jiang Wan's eyes sparkled. Lan Tian clearly wanted to help, so he responded immediately with his intelligence.
Today, there was an operation performed by Hua Tuo at Quanling Medical Hall. Zhang Ji and the students who came to communicate were eye-opening after observing the surgery.
The patient is a Yue nationality who was bitten by a venomous snake while hunting in the mountains more than ten days ago. Because he could not find a doctor who could treat him, the delay took a long time. The toxin has spread and attached to the leg bones, directly causing the inner thigh muscles to rot. He suffered from inflammation and his right thigh was swollen twice as much when he was taken to the medical clinic.
After Hua Tuo used Ma Fei Powder, he used a sterilized knife to cut open the swelling, gouged out the rotten flesh and scraped the toxins from the leg bones. After applying the medicine, he sutured it up with needle and thread. The whole process lasted for two hours.
Zhang Ji and several disciples who came to communicate happened to see Hua Tuo's superb medical skills.
Hua Tuo performed the surgery accurately and superbly, and the process of analgesia, hemostasis, cutting, and healing was so exciting that he nodded in excitement, thinking that surgical treatment could still be like this.
When Liu Bei and others arrived, Hua Tuo's operation had been completed. He saw the two doctors and the team enjoying themselves, so he smiled and asked: "Mr. Zhongjing, have you gained anything from this trip south?"
"I have gained a lot. Mr. Yuanhua has answered many of my questions. It is estimated that my typhoid fever book will be available in less than two years." Zhang Ji nodded.
Hua Tuo shook his head and said, "Mr. Zhongjing is well-deserved, and my Qingnang Book is already being prepared."
"There are many literati who look down on each other. It is rare that the two gentlemen are so harmonious. I am grateful to you on behalf of all the people in the world." Liu Bei bowed to the two of them happily.
Liu Bei is now the Lord of Jingzhou. How can Zhang Ji and Hua Tuo dare to accept his great gift? Zhang Ji took the lead and said: "It all depends on the support of the envoy. If there is no medical school, how can we have time to exchange medical knowledge? There will be no chance to teach disciples, Write a book and say..."
Hua Tuo also smiled and said: "If General Gan hadn't kindly invited me here, I might have lived in the mountains of Jiaozhou until I grew old. All this is God's will..."
Lan Tian pointed at the two of them and said: "Two miracle doctors, don't be humble. Mr. Hua, please take out the pill you recently developed and show it to my lord."
Hua Tuo nodded to the disciple next to him, who ran to the medicine-cooking room at the back and brought two wooden boxes and placed them on the table.
"What is this?" Liu Bei asked doubtfully.
Lan Tian smiled and said, "My lord, please open it and take a look."
Liu Bei opened the small wooden box curiously, and his mood was like that of later generations of choppers opening packages. There were several pills in the box, with the left side being brown and the right side being cyan.
Hua Tuo picked up the brown pill and explained: "My lord, this is called Zhiyun Pill. It is made from five or six medicinal herbs. It can relieve dizziness and discomfort caused by driving or boating."
"Lord, if this anti-dizziness pill is used in water fighting, it will be a great medicine." Zhuge Liang said happily.
"Then what is this green pill?" Liu Bei asked curiously.
"The poisonous insects in Lingnan are ferocious, and once they are bitten, their lives are in danger. Last time General Gan went to Jiaozhou to fight, he almost died from this disease. This Qinghao Pill can cure this poison..." Hua Tuo introduced.
Lai Gong was shocked when he heard this, "People in Lingnan have been suffering from this disease for many years, and there is no cure. Is Mr. Yuanhua's Qinghao Pill really miraculous?"
Hua Tuo nodded and said: "These two pills have been tested in practice, especially the Qinghao Pill which has immediate effects."
Lai Gong: "Mr. Yuanhua is really a miraculous doctor. Is it easy to refine this Qinghao Pill? The people in Lingnan are in great demand..."
Lan Tian interjected: "As long as there are enough medicinal materials, these Zhiyun Pills and Qinghao Pills can be refined in batches, and the first one will satisfy the governor."
"Then thank you, General Lan." Lai Gong clasped his fists in thanks.
Liu Bei nodded in approval: "Ziyu's idea of refining medicines in batches is very good, and Mr. Yuanhua's contribution is even greater..."
Hua Tuo refined two kinds of special pills, which made Zhang Ji's disciples who came to communicate with him envious. The medical school in Chen County has now been moved to Jiangling, and the conditions Liu Bei provided for the placement were much better than before, which immediately made them feel welcome. Well deserved.
When Hua Tuo saw this, he waved his hand quickly, "My lord, this is not the fault of Hua Tuo alone, it is mainly due to General Lan's suggestion..."
"Ziyu also dabbles in medical skills?" Liu Bei looked at Hua Tuo with confusion.
Hua Tuo explained: "Mrs. Lan was not used to taking a boat, so she asked me to extract it from a prescription for treating syncope, and then refined it into this anti-faint pill. As for the Qinghao pill, it was entirely General Lan's suggestion. He told me The juice of Artemisia annua can be used to cure poisonous insect bites, which is much simpler and more practical than my method."
Liu Bei looked at Lan Tian doubtfully and thought, "Are you really good at medicine?"
Lan Tian scratched his head and explained: "When I was a child, someone was bitten by a poisonous insect in the village. Some villagers would smear it with mugwort, or even squeeze the juice and take it. This is other people's experience, not that I know medical skills..."
Artemisinin cures malaria, a major discovery that won Lao Tu the Nobel Prize. Although Lan Tian cannot name her, it is a great merit to benefit the people in advance.
The two special effects pills are both directly related to Lantian. After hearing this, Liu Bei nodded and said: "The appearance of this kind of pill always makes me feel that something has changed."
Zhuge Liang quickly reminded, "My lord, if there are ready-made medicines to treat diseases, they can make up for the lack of doctors, especially on the battlefield, which is very convenient."
"But water has no permanent potential, and diseases have no permanent causes. If ready-made medicines are not suitable for the symptoms, wouldn't they be harmful to the body?" Liu Bei asked rhetorically.
Zhang Ji explained: "Although diseases vary from person to person, the causes are similar. As long as you master the dosage of ready-made pills and powders and temporarily control the emergency before sending to the doctor, the chance of successful cure is much greater. I think it can also be used to treat other diseases." Refined in many categories.”
"What Mr. Zhongjing said is absolutely true..." Lantian quickly agreed. If there were more types of finished medicines, people's early death from illness could be greatly alleviated. If they were popularized across the country, the average life expectancy would definitely be improved.
Liu Bei nodded and said: "Now there are medical schools in the north and south of the Yangtze River. Zhongjing and Yuanhua should communicate more. I hope there will be more ready-made medicines in the future. I also hope your books will come out soon and cultivate more disciples to benefit the people... "
"Thank you so much, envoy..."
"Thank you, lord..."
At this time, Zhang Ji remembered Caitu's surgery just now, and suddenly said happily: "Mr. Yuanhua, the Mafei Powder just now was so effective, why not adjust the dosage and make it into pills? It can be used to relieve the pain of soldiers injured in battle."
Liu Bei was overjoyed: "Mr. Zhongjing's words are very good. Mr. Yuanhua should make another analgesic pill."
Hua Tuo smiled slightly: "Quanling Medical Hall has limited manpower, and it is no longer enough to make anti-dizziness pills and Qinghao pills. After a while, I will hand over the Mafei powder prescription to Mr. Zhongjing, and ask Jiangling Medical Hall to make the analgesic pills." Bar..."
"Yuanhua...Thank you..."
Zhang Ji proposed this suggestion, and Hua Tuo reciprocated the favor by giving him the prescription. The other party admired his open-mindedness.
Liu Bei couldn't help but nod: "Good."
Liu Bei was very satisfied with this trip to Quanling. The Quanling School and the Medical School have developed. Lantian seems to have a magical power, that is, he can succeed in anything he does.
After visiting the medical hall, the sky gradually darkened.
On the way to send Zhuge Liang and Lai Gong back to the post house, Gan Ning's naval scouts found Gao Shun.
"Sir, Zhou Yu's warship suddenly appeared in the Yangtze River. General Gan felt that this situation was abnormal, so he sent a patrol boat to follow it to Dongting. It is now heading towards Jiangxia." Gao Shun reported in Lan Tian's ear in a low voice.
Lantian frowned after hearing this. Isn't Zhou Yu facing the lane in Xinye? Why did he appear in the Yangtze River with his navy?
Four words popped up in his mind: crossing the river in white? But I think it is unlikely. Even if Zhou Lang has some small thoughts, Xu Shu, Zhao Yun and Huang Zhong are still in Jiangling City.
"Ziyu, what's wrong with you?" Liu Bei stopped immediately when he saw Lan Tian's expression was different.
"Zhou Yu's navy suddenly appeared in the Yangtze River and is now heading towards Jiangxia. I don't know what this guy's intentions are." Lan Tian said.
"Zhou Lang should be in Xinye now. Have he and Yunchang been defeated?" Liu Bei couldn't figure it out either.
"According to Gan Xingba's intelligence, Zhou Yu's naval forces are almost intact. Could it be that they retreated from Xinye on their own initiative?" Lan Tian said to himself.
Zhuge Liang thought for a while and said calmly: "Is it possible that Zhou Lang wants to attack Jiangling? Fortunately, troops were drawn from Changsha to supplement. Yuan Zhi and Han Sheng will not let him succeed."
"Did the military advisor think too much?" Liu Bei didn't quite believe it.
"I wish I had thought too much. We have to rush back to Jiangling tomorrow. Zhou Yu will withdraw the main force of the navy. Yun Chang will probably withdraw soon. We must prevent Cao Cao from going south." Zhuge Liang reminded.
"Okay, let's visit those military workshops next time." Liu Bei nodded.
Send Zhuge Liang and Lai Gong to the post house, while Liu Bei and Lan Tian return to the prefect's mansion to rest.
Lan Tian abides by the agreement he made with the little guys, and he will tell stories to Lan Yuan and other juniors at night.
In the flower hall in the backyard of the Prefect's Mansion, Lu Lingqi asked someone to light a candle, and Deng Fan then moved a strange shelf. On the shelf was a rectangular casket, which was painted very smooth with black paint. There was also a The square wooden box contains white items, which are roughly made lime blocks from Lantian.
After the Quanling Academy had more students, it was necessary to add auxiliary tools to carry out teaching. Lan Tian asked people to come up with simple blackboards and chalk after several practices.
When Liu Bei and Lan Tian came back, Lu Lingqi, Gan Qian and several juniors were sitting on the benches of Quanling Academy in the Little Flower Hall, waiting for the arrival of the gold medal lecturer Lan Ziyu.
Only Liu Bei has never seen Lantian's storytelling ability. He saw the others sitting upright, like students in a school, so he smiled and said, "You are quite active. I'll also listen to what Ziyu said about this." The clouds turn to rain, and the dew turns to frost.'"
Liu Bei sat in the middle with a smile, but because of his huge body, he just blocked Adou and Lan Ji. Adou was afraid of Liu Bei and did not dare to remind him. Instead, Lan Ji boldly said: "Uncle is blocking us, you should go behind us and listen."
"Ha... Ji'er makes sense..." Liu Bei walked behind the children with a smile and slowly sat down next to Gan Qian. As a lord, he was used to a good seat and unconsciously sat at the end. Front and center.
Lan Tian used a blackboard and chalk to give a lecture using pictures and texts. This teaching method can make abstract things concrete.
Before starting the lecture, Lan Tian picked up a lime block and directly drew the complete water cycle on the blackboard using pictures and arrows.
"The water in the oceans and rivers is burned by the heat of the sun, which is equivalent to the water in the pot being boiled dry, and then slowly turning into air and rising..." Lan Tian tried his best to explain in a simple way, because although the water cycle is easy to understand , but it involves a variety of knowledge such as energy conversion, solar radiation, and earth's gravity. If expanded, it would subvert this group of ancient people.
"Uncle, water is really magical. It can change into so many things. Now I can understand the saying 'clouds turn to rain, dew turns to frost'." Adou said with a smile.
Lantian saw that Adou understood it, and it was estimated that the other children could basically understand it. I am indeed a gold medal lecturer. I am not in vain.
The one who listened most attentively was Liu Bei. The ancients basically relied on understanding to learn, but teachings like Lantian's were really new. After listening to this, he couldn't help but sigh: "It is indeed as good as water. With the softest in the world, I ride on the strongest in the world. My teachings are as good as water." The sentence "Like a fish in water needs to be changed". Everything in the world needs water. If there is water, it will live forever. "
Lan Tian nodded and said: "You are a boat and the people are water. Water can carry a boat but also capsize it..."
"The people of Li are the water. Ziyu always has words to save people. I wish I could always be by your side and listen to your teachings..." Liu Bei sighed unconsciously as he thought of returning to Jiangling tomorrow.
Lan Tian comforted: "Sentimental feelings have been saddened by separation since ancient times. Jiangling and Lingling are not far away. I will visit you as soon as I have free time."
Gan Qian said: "It's not far away but only a few days' journey by water. Since Ziyu is in charge of the military affairs of the four counties, he shouldn't stay in Lingling all the time. Even if he moves to Wuling or Changsha, he will be closer to Jiangling."
Liu Bei was inspired after hearing this, and he suggested: "Youjiangkou is quite close to Jiangling. Ziyu can move there."
"Since Jiaozhou is not peaceful, it is more convenient to stay in Lingling." Lantian explained.
"If I had known that I would not agree to Lu Ziheng, I would have written to Wu Ju several times. He always has his own ideas. You have to worry about General Lai." Liu Bei instructed.
"Uncle, Adou will return to Jiangling tomorrow, can you tell me another story..." When Liu Chan spoke, he glanced at the two brothers Lan Yuan and Lan Ji.
Lan Tian hides thousands of stories in his belly, including myths, phone calls, Eastern and Western stories. He often tells Lan Yuan and Lan Ji bedtime stories, which makes little Adou envious. After arriving at Quanling But he didn't miss Lan Ji's bed, and he was really reluctant to leave soon.
So Lan Tian pretended to be Liu Bei and told the children the story of Little Red Riding Hood.
Adou was a little scared when he heard it, but Lan Ji raised his little fist and said, "Adou, don't be afraid. If you really encounter such a wolf grandmother, I will help you eliminate her."
"Ji'er, can you beat me?" Liu Bei asked jokingly.
"Uncle Gao praised me for being stronger than my elder brother. In the future, let alone wolves, I am not even afraid of tigers." Lan Ji said, patting his chest.
"Ji'er, don't praise Haikou." Lan Tian frowned, the second child just wanted to be more pushy than the eldest brother.
Liu Bei laughed and said, "Ji'er is brave and can become a general in the future. Then he can protect Adou. My brother and sister, don't let your family's martial arts be buried."
Lu Lingqi nodded slightly and said to her heart that I will teach my two sons martial arts well. As long as they insist on practicing since childhood, they will be much better than Lan Tian.
After a night's rest, Lan Tian went to the dock to see Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang back to Jiangling. The two brothers Lan Yuan and Lan Ji gave a lot of toys to Adou, because they knew that if the old ones don't go, the new ones won't come.
Lai Gong was also going south to Bushan that day. Lan Tian told him: "Bu Zhao has no good intentions in intervening in Jiaozhou. As long as Lai Gong sticks to Bushan, if there is any trouble, ask Lu Tie to send someone to Quanling. I will I will support you as soon as possible.”
"With General Lan's words, I feel at ease." Lai Gong boarded the ship happily.
"Brothers from the Jiaozhi taxi family, you can have more contact with each other. Do you understand how to make friends from far away and attack those close to you?" Lan Tian added.
"Wei." Lai Gong nodded.
Liu Bei and Zhuge Liang took a boat back to Jiangling. They passed by the mouth of Youjiang River and were delighted to see the fortifications, so they renamed the place Gong'an and told Zhuge
Liang arrived at Shumifang and moved the Wuling administration office to Gong'an.
Guan Yu did not gain much due to his lack of troops and the fact that he resisted Cao Cao's army head-on. However, Zhang Fei and Pang Tong won a great victory at Yishui, mainly because they captured hundreds of war horses. Liu Bei gained a lot from this joint operation.
When Liu Bei was celebrating Zhang Fei and Pang Tong, Huang Zhong reported to him that Zhou Yu wanted to enter Jiangling but was rejected.
Zhuge Liang smiled and said: "Old General Huang did the right thing. Zhou Lang left Xinye undefended and actually used the road to take Yizhou at this time. He clearly had something in his heart."
Xu Shu agreed and said: "I also guessed that it was a false plan to attack Guo, but there were thousands of troops garrisoned in Jiangling City, so Zhou Gongjin gave up in the end."
"Zhou Yu asked Lu Zijing to go into the city to find out the truth. If we hadn't mobilized troops from Changsha in advance, Jiangling would probably have been attacked by force. He has 30,000 elite navy troops." Zhuge Liang analyzed.
Xu Shu snorted coldly: "So what if Zhou Yu makes a sneak attack on Jiangling? As long as General Guan intercepts the Yangtze River waterway in Jiangxia and lets Ziyu send troops from Jingnan to rescue him, won't he be a turtle in the urn?"
"Hahaha, Zhou Yu doesn't know how to do business. If he has a few military advisers who want to go so far, they won't waste time and money by traveling all the way." Zhang Fei laughed.
Pang Tong shook his head, "Yide has a good grasp of time costs."
Liu Bei worried and said: "Zhou Yu almost destroyed the Sun-Liu alliance. Now that there is no Jiangdong to defend us against Cao Cao, Xiangfan in the north has to pay attention."
"The latest information received from Xinye is that Cao Cao's main force has moved to Huainan. It seems that Zhou Lang made a big detour and later went to help Sun Zhongmou capture Hefei." Zhuge Liang analyzed while shaking his feather fan.
"As long as Jiangdong resists Cao Cao." Liu Bei nodded.
Ten days later, news came back that Zhou Yu had died of illness in Chaisang, and all the officials in Jiangling were shocked.
Zhuge Liang hurriedly asked Guan Yu in Jiangxia and Liu Pan in Changsha to strengthen their alert to prevent Jiangdong soldiers from invading Jingzhou. This was not lifted until Lu Su took office as the governor.
Although Cao Cao conquered Xinye, Jiangdong's navy put great pressure on Hefei. He had to station troops in Huainan to divert water to irrigate the fields, and asked Cao Ren to strengthen the defense in Xiangfan. He did not have enough troops to continue the southward attack on Jiangling.
Liu Bei rarely seized the opportunity to recuperate, while Zhuge Liang sent people to recruit and train new soldiers in various places to prepare for the next step of Longzhong's plan.
After Gan Qian and Adou returned to Jiangling, in order to meet Adou frequently, Liu Bei placed the mother and son in the back hall of the General's Mansion, two blocks away from Sun Shangxiang's villa. Although Gan Qian was now a concubine, she received such treatment But better than the mistress.
Liu Bei doted on Gan Qian and Adou, and the time to go to Sun Shangxiang's villa was dwindling. This made Miss Sun a little bit unable to sit still, so she aggressively prepared to go to meet Gan Qian, but as soon as she walked out of the villa, she was stopped by Zhao Yun.
"Zilong wants to stop me? I am the wife of Xuande, not a prisoner of Jiangling." Sun Shangxiang has been married to Jiangling for more than half a year. Sun Shangxiang knew that Zhao Yun was spying on her in the name of protection. With her sweet shout, someone beside her The dozen or so maidservants all drew their swords to protect the master.
Under the tense situation, Zhao Yun was not afraid at all. He smiled and said: "How dare Yun stop the mistress, but you are so angry, where are you going?"
"I'm a little bored in the other courtyard. I'm going to Xuande's place for a walk. Don't you allow me to go?" Sun Shangxiang asked coldly.
"How dare Zhao Yun do this? But since I'm escorting you all the way, there's no need for them to follow."
Sun Shangxiang frowned, waved to the maid behind him, and then strutted forward, with Zhao Yun and a group of soldiers guarding behind.
"Zilong, what have Xuande been doing recently? I haven't seen you for a long time." Sun Shangxiang deliberately used a trick. Although she brought hundreds of maids and servants, she only got some fragmentary information.
Zhao Yun cupped his fists and said perfunctorily: "Jingzhou has a lot of affairs, my lord must be too busy..."
Sun Shangxiang was very confused: "Really? Since bringing Mrs. Gan back, why has Xuande been so busy?"
