Zhang Ji seriously considered Yuan Yao's proposal and did not speak for a long time.
Yuan Yao looked at Zhang Zhongjing and felt even more anxious.
I wouldn’t have failed the first time I recruit talents!
That would be too embarrassing for the traveling party!
Zhang Ji seemed to have something he couldn't say. He stopped talking several times, which made Yuan Yao extremely anxious: "Sir, do you have any concerns? It's okay to say it!"
"There is indeed something." Zhang Ji took out the resignation letter in his arms: "I originally wanted to resign and return home today."
"I have an eldest brother who is the county magistrate in my hometown of Nieyang in Nanyang. He was the breadwinner of the family. But last month my brother fell ill and passed away. I am the only one in the family who is qualified to inherit the family line. I have received letters from my family urging me to return to my hometown to take over as the county magistrate. job."
"I am not telling you this to get an official position for myself. It is because you sincerely invite me today, and I should be honest with you. This is one of the reasons for my resignation!"
Yuan Yao nodded, he understood Zhang Zhongjing's life. Knowing that Zhang Zhongjing was born in a declining noble family, it was very difficult for his family to retain the position of county magistrate.
It is normal for Zhang Zhongjing to go back to support the continuation of his family.
"Then the second reason must be that it is difficult for Mr. to realize his ambitions under my father's account!"
"That's why you feel so disheartened and determined to resign and return home?"
Zhang Ji nodded: "Being from a noble family has made me successful but also trapped me."
"Why did you say this, sir?"
"My father collected many classics and ancient books in the past. The purpose was to train my brothers to become talents and bring glory to our family!"
"I have been reading a lot of books since I was a child, until I read in "Historical Records" about Bian Que's visit to Guo and his visit to Marquis Huan of Qi. I was shocked and became a man of heaven, and at that time I made up my mind to practice medicine. "
"It wasn't until I got a little older that I was exposed to the strife in the officialdom and the fight for power between relatives and eunuchs. In particular, the misfortune of party supervision caused my father to be dismissed from office several times, so I became disgusted with being an official."
"Fortunately, my brother Zhang Bojing studied hard and finally lived up to his father's legacy."
"I originally wanted to pursue medicine, and I just wanted to be a medical officer. I didn't expect that the road to medicine would be more bumpy than the official career."
"Because I come from a noble family, all the medical officials thought that I didn't understand medical science and was a showoff. The so-called doctors have their own origins and inheritance, and I come from a noble family, so I can't argue."
Zhang Ji sighed, as if he was remembering the ups and downs of studying and practicing medicine in the past thirty years.
In this era, there was a distinction between superior and inferior, and there was a strict hierarchical order.
Most of the officials were members of aristocratic families and noble families who were elected by the imperial examination system. Therefore, the clan mentality had already penetrated into all aspects of society.
People who were born in a noble clan could only do what a noble clan should do, and they could only interact with people from the noble clan, and could not cross the boundary. A noble person like Zhang Ji cannot have casual contact with ordinary people, otherwise he will be considered to have lowered his status and will be despised by the entire circle.
If Zhang Zhongjing focused on being an official and practiced medicine for scholars of the same class in his spare time, he would be praised for his medical skills and benevolence.
But if Zhang Zhongjing wanted to be a professional medical officer, he would have to treat both scholars and the common people. In the eyes of the gentry, Zhang Zhongjing was willing to degenerate and abandon his roots. But medical officers who come from humble backgrounds and have been practicing medicine for generations seem to be trying to please others and are trying to steal their jobs!
This is the biggest problem that troubles Zhang Zhongjing in his life.
After figuring out the problem, Yuan Yao immediately became 100% confident in conquering Zhang Zhongjing.
"Sir's concerns, in my opinion, are not worth mentioning. They are just secular prejudices!" Yuan Yao said with a smile.
"Huh?"
"Scholars despise doctors because they think that if they want to save the people of the world, they can only rely on them to become generals and prime ministers and rule the world or a land. Only in this way can they benefit the people."
"But isn't it true that studying medicine can't save China?"
"In fact, it is not the case. It does not mean that abandoning medicine and pursuing literature will definitely save the country and the people from disaster."
"There are so many scholars in the world, how many of them can climb to high positions, never forget their original intention and truly benefit the world?"
"In my opinion, any undertaking has its effect. Especially the medical undertaking, which can directly save lives and heal the wounded. Compared with the eloquent talk of scholars, I don't know how many times more effective it is!"
"It is rare that out of ten scholars, three of them can be outstanding, and one of them can truly serve the people. But among ten doctors, they can cure thousands of people."
"Of the two ways to save the world, which one would you prefer, sir?"
Yuan Yao's argument directly struck Zhang Ji's heart, like a deafening voice that shook Zhang Zhongjing unable to calm down for a long time.
"It is rare for ten scholars to be able to have one person serve as an official and serve the people. And ten doctors can treat thousands of people in a lifetime." Zhang Zhongjing couldn't help but murmured.
But he has never compared the difference between being an official and practicing medicine like this!
"In my opinion, the study and practice of medicine should also be taught in specialized schools, and should not be limited to private teaching and family inheritance."
"Moreover, someone should sort out and summarize the medical techniques and pharmacology of the world, and select the best and eliminate the fittest. Write down the theory and teach it in medical schools! Isn't it possible to achieve a world where everyone in the world has medical treatment?"
Yuan Yao's skills in painting cakes are very good.
Zhang Zhongjing was deeply shocked. Although he had the intention to compile an unprecedented comprehensive medical book, he never thought of opening a medical school and advocating the great cause of medicine!
Zhang Zhongjing had no interaction with Yuan Yao before, and his impression of him was that of an ignorant and ignorant disciple.
It seems that treating people is the same as treating a doctor. You have to listen to see and see to be convinced!
After a long time, Zhang Zhongjing bowed to Yuan Yao and said, "Young Master's words made me enlightened. You have such insight, what worries can I have?"
"I am willing to follow the master!"
When Yuan Yao saw Zhang Zhongjing, one of the top three medical sages in the history of traditional Chinese medicine, he finally bowed before him and his heart was beating fast.
You should not be afraid if you get a headache or fever in the future!
At this time, Yuan Yao finally felt relieved and asked, "Sir, I was struck by lightning and all the hairs on my body were scorched, but is there really no problem with my internal organs?"
Yuan Shu also asked Zhang Ji the same question. Although Zhang Ji replied that Yuan Yao's internal organs were not injured, Yuan Yao, who came from later generations, knew very well the impact of lightning strikes and electric shocks on human internal organs, so he couldn't help but be a little worried.
"Just now, the silver needle probed the acupuncture points, and there was no abnormality in the young master's internal organs."
"I just learned from the young master's attendant that the young master was riding a horse when he was struck by lightning. The horse died suddenly on the spot. It must have been the horse that suffered the lightning disaster on the young master's behalf!"
"I have also read about lightning strikes from some classics. In one case, a thunderbolt hit a farmer's cowshed. All the cows were burned below the belly, but the upper parts of the cow's belly were unharmed. I must have said, Mr. The situation is similar to this.”
"Sir, you are indeed knowledgeable. I admire you!" Yuan Yao remembered some simple physics knowledge and couldn't help but feel happy.
There is a high probability that the sky thunder only hit the ground in front of Yuan Yao, but did not hit Yuan Yao directly.
The four-legged horse under Yuan Yao's seat happened to step on the voltage and got an electric shock. He was only affected and suffered a slight electric shock.
"One more question, sir. Is there any case where someone's temperament changed drastically after being struck by lightning?"
After Yao Yuan came back to life, his memories of his later life were all there, but only part of Yuan Yao's life memories had been absorbed for the time being, and it might take time to digest and integrate them.
What Yuan Yao is most worried about at this time is that he will be very different from the previous Yuan Yao's words and deeds, and someone will discover the fact that he has traveled through time.
"I've never heard of such a thing." Zhang Ji shook his head.
Yuan Yao still hoped that he would be diagnosed with amnesia or something by Zhang Ji. Seeing that Zhang Ji was not convinced, he had to say: "But now I can't remember many things before, so why is that?"
"Then it's possible that you're suffering from Soul Leaving Syndrome!"
"Master, take your hand and let me check your pulse carefully."
"The pulse is slightly yang-deficient, which can easily lead to forgetfulness. But the young master is only in his prime, so he shouldn't forget too many things..."
"But apart from what happened in the past year or two, I really can't remember anything else!"
"Since the young master has said so, it may be because I am ignorant. I will check the medical books when I get back today to see if there are any similar cases of soul-leaving syndrome."
Yuan Yao nodded wildly.
"Why don't you go check out the relevant medical books now? Should you go to your home or go to the Medical Officer's Office?"
Yuan Yao now really wants to be diagnosed with "soul-leaving syndrome" immediately, which is the ancient Chinese medical term for amnesia in later generations. Only in this way can he naturally "change his temperament."
After all, Yuan Yao has lived in this society for twenty years. If he pretends to be Yuan Yao based on his memory, it will be okay in the short term, but in the long term, people will definitely find out that he is "a completely different person".
And Yao Yuan is not willing to pretend to be someone else.
Zhang Ji only felt that it was strange. Others were afraid of getting sick. Why did Mr. Yuan like to label himself as sick?
"Most of the books on traditional Chinese medicine are in tatters. Only the Medical Officer's Office has a collection of classics that I haven't read. Why don't you go to the Medical Officer's Office to check them out first?"
"Okay! Let's go to the Medical Officer's Office now!"
Zhang Ji couldn't understand why Yuan Yao was so urgent, so he had to say: "Young Master has just turned the corner, it's better to rest first. At least take a shower and change clothes before going out."
"Regarding the young master's condition, I would like to go to the Medical Officer's Office to check it out first. If there is any news, just report it to the young master."
Yuan Yao looked at the dark spots on his body that had not been scrubbed clean, and his hair and clothes were also messy. He scratched his head and said, "This is the only way!"
Zhang Ji immediately stood up and went out, and Yuan Yao immediately imitated the costume TV series and shouted: "Here comes someone!"
The personal attendant and the maid came in together.
"Prepare me bath water and clean clothes quickly!"
"promise!"
Hot water and wooden buckets have been prepared for a long time, and they are just waiting for Zhang Ji's diagnosis and treatment to be completed before serving Yuan Yao.
Yuan Yao looked at the maid who was about to take off his clothes and take off his clothes and wash and clean himself, and couldn't help but turn red.
Fortunately, his face was black and white, so others couldn't see it.
"You guys get out!" Yuan Yaoxian pointed at the maids and said.
"We are gone, who will take care of the young master to take a bath?"
"It's enough for him to stay and rub my back, I'll do the rest myself!"
Yuan Yao pointed to the attendant who came in carrying a bathing bucket and said.
"ah?"
The attendant's anus tightened, and his face was full of horror.
Fortunately, things didn't happen as he thought. Yuan Yao just washed himself clean in a hurry, then asked him to wipe off the burnt hair on his back with water, and then let him go out.
The maids eavesdropping outside the door covered their mouths and whispered: "So fast!"
"Didn't you listen to what Mr. Zhang just said? Master, that's a bit vain! It won't last long!"
"No way, it took the young master and me more than an hour that night..."
All the maids looked at the youngest maid at this time.
Before they could continue their gossip, Yuan Yao had already pushed open the door and walked out, and the maids were busy bowing to the ground.
"Sir, you are fairer and more handsome than before!"
"What a handsome young man!"
Yuan Yao was a little depressed. After he washed up, he looked at his appearance immediately and found that Yuan Yao's appearance was the creamy little appearance that he hated most in the future.
Although he is indeed extremely handsome, there is no hair on his face now, and he looks more like a pretty boy.
"Take me to the medical office!" Yuan Yao said angrily to the attendant who was rubbing his back.
The other attendants had some concerns at this time.
Is it worth exchanging chrysanthemums for Prince Yuan’s favor and trust?
The entire Yuan Mansion is also the Yangzhou Mu Mansion, a mansion that Yuan Shu specially built for himself in Shouchun City. But the regulations are far beyond the ordinary governor's mansion of the governor and prefecture, and it is even larger than the mansion of the three princes.
There are internal and external aspects to the Mufu. Inside is where Yuan Shu lived, and Yuan Yao's residence was also in the inner courtyard. Along the way, there were more than ten small courtyards, where dozens of Yuan Shu's wives and concubines lived.
Beyond the inner courtyard is the outer courtyard. The largest building is the hall where Yuan Shu worked and held meetings with his subordinates. There are many government offices scattered next to it, including the Medical Office.
Yuan Yao couldn't help but click his tongue. This Yuan Mansion was not a mansion at all. It was simply built according to the palaces and official residences of princes and kings.
Yuan Yao's memory told him that the entire Yuan Mansion actually accounted for more than one-eighth of the entire Shouchun City. Residential houses were forcibly expropriated during construction, causing the residents of Shouchun City to become restless and displaced.
No wonder the Shouchun people were so hostile to me on the street before.
The Medical Officer's Office was right around the corner, but I heard the sound before anyone arrived.
"Zhang Ji, if you don't go to your Cangcao Office, why did you come to my Medical Officer's Office?"
"Is this the medical office that a idle guy like you can enter?"
"I took the liberty of visiting, just to borrow the book "The Coffin" for a quick review. I read this book when I was young, but there was something missing in the book at that time. I vaguely remember the records about the syndrome of leaving the soul."
"I would also like to ask the senior medical officer to lend me one of the chapters of "Ben Shen" for my convenience. I will return it as soon as I finish reading it. I am very grateful!"
"A warehouse clerk who can't even calculate the amount of money and grain dares to talk about medical skills?"
"It's just that a blind cat encountered a dead mouse and happened to save someone, so he dares to come to our Medical Officer's Office to show off his power?"
Bang bang bang!
There were a few crisp sounds, and the few medical officers who had just spoken had two slap marks on their faces.
"You, you...how dare you hit someone?"
"Is there no royal law anymore? If you slap the medical officer for no reason, where are the guards from the Medical Officer's Office?"
The medical officers who were beaten looked at the sudden appearance of several well-dressed men in front of them, and for a moment they did not know who these people were.
"Who are you? How dare you do harm to me? If I don't tell my lord, I will send you to the army!"
Gao Medical Officer Ling was slapped the hardest. Two slaps knocked him unconscious. For a moment, he didn't realize that the one who hit him was Yuan Yao's chief attendant.
The chief attendant snorted coldly: "I am originally a member of the military, why should I join the army again?"
Among all the attendants, only the chief attendant wore casual armor. Gao Medical Officer Ling only saw the man in armor in front of him, but he still said angrily: "What about the sergeant? Can you be cured without royal law and military discipline?"
"Tell you, you have caused a big trouble. My brother-in-law is Xu Zhuan and Xu Donghai. I will let General Xu punish you for your offense!"
"The king's law? You want the king's law?"
"I am Wang Fa in this Shouchun City!"
