After Lian Po left, most of the extraordinary generals also left, for fear that if they stayed here, they would accidentally be captured.

Even the way the civil servant looked at the doctor changed a bit. From what Xiangzi said, it was obvious that this was not the first time they used people for experiments. At most, the ones they used before were not in the transcendent realm.

In this era, it is still difficult for everyone to accept this matter, but because the people used are not from the Central Plains, no one objects.

They were not so compassionate that they could speak for the Huns.

It's just that the scene was much deserted. The officials who were still talking shut their mouths and left quickly after the inspection, not wanting to stay for a moment.

"If your heart is too hot, take more rest, worry less, and eat more pears and lotus seeds, and you won't need to prescribe medicine."

"Thank you doctor."

"If you conquer too much, you need to be abstinent."

"Thank you, doctor." The official was a little embarrassed and left quickly.

"Your left leg is a bit off. Do you usually have difficulty using it?"

"That's right, I've been to several doctors but they couldn't cure him." Zhang Yan, the governor of Yanmen County, nodded.

"If you need acupuncture for half a month to a month, you should stay in Handan first." Xiangzi said.

Zhang Yan looked at Zhao Kuo. Local officials needed to return to their posts as soon as possible after the court meeting.

"Listen to Xiangzi, your health is important." Zhao Kuo nodded, "Government affairs can be left to the county magistrate and county lieutenant first, and then you can take up the post after you are healthy."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Yan said gratefully.

"What you have is bone gangrene. Take a pinch of astragalus, peony, licorice, ginger, pepper, dogwood, and two pinches of white root. Grind it and put it into wine. Take it five times a day and it can cure it."

"Thank you doctor, thank you doctor."

"...How much is a handful?" Zhao Kuo asked strangely.

"You can pinch it with three fingers." Xiangzi stretched out his right hand, then put his thumb, index finger, and middle finger together and shook them twice.

"..." Zhao Kuo was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say, "Is this how you take medicine?"

"Otherwise?" Xiangzi said matter-of-factly.

"Don't you have a scale? Isn't there any problem if you do this?" Zhao Kuo had a black line on his forehead, and he unified the weights and measures with himself.

"How can something go wrong? It's only when you use a scale that something goes wrong. I'm not bragging, those scales are not as accurate as I am." Xiangzi said disdainfully.

"Moreover, using a scale is too slow. A medicine requires at least several medicinal materials, and at most a dozen medicinal materials. Each patient needs several medicines, and it is impossible to get a few medicines in one day." Song Zhongye said.

They all grab medicine with their bare hands, quickly and steadily. There are also many doctors who came from medical tourism and practice medicine all over the world with just a medicine box.

As for weighing? Sorry, I haven't seen it.

Hearing this, other people also echoed his words.

These people come from various countries, and their medical practice habits and medical schools are different, but they all use the same hands.

Just like all countries in the world have different weights and measures, but a step is a step, a step is a step, and a prick is a prick. In this regard, all countries are the same...

Some apprentices showed hesitation and wanted to side with Zhao Kuo. They had long hated these ambiguities during this period, but in front of so many master doctors, they apprentices had no chance to speak.

Zhao Kuo nodded. Some of the titles were indeed not as accurate as Xiangzi's, but... what about the apprentice?

"Grabbing medicine must be standardized. You can take medicine with bare hands and ensure accuracy, but that does not mean that all doctors can do it, not to mention there are a large number of apprentices. The treatment of diseases is no better than others, and there is no room for any mistakes. I will let the Mo family make a suitable one. The scales used by your doctors must indicate weight, number and other measurement units on prescriptions from now on." Zhao Kuo said in a deep voice.

It is impossible for Xiangzi's generation to change, but the next generation must not be allowed to lead them astray. If medical skills want to develop rapidly, standardization is necessary.

"I obey." Xiangzi and Song Zhong looked at each other and reluctantly agreed.

Several doctors checked at the same time, and the speed was very fast. Most of the officials had some minor health problems, but only a few people had no health problems at all.

Xiangzi and others will prescribe good medicine for those who need it, and tell them how to treat those who don't need it. If the officials don't listen, they can't do anything.

Everyone was calm at first, until one official refused and took medicine on the spot, and then was beaten out with more than a dozen worms... No one was calm anymore, silently keeping the doctor's words in mind, and even asked the doctor to check more. Prevent any omissions.

What's more, after the inspection over there, they felt uneasy, so they went to Xiangzi or Song Zhong to check again.

Not long after, Ben entered the hospital holding a ginseng as thick as his arm.

"Thank you, sir." Xiangzi said excitedly as he took the ginseng, put it in front of his nose, took a deep breath.

"Such spiritual objects can only exert their due value if they are placed in the hands of doctors." Zhao Kuo waved his hand and said.

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will never disappoint Your Majesty." Xiangzi did not hand over the ginseng to others, but personally fetched a wooden box and put the ginseng in it.

At noon, after everyone left, Song Zhong ran over happily, opened the wooden box, and stroked the ginseng inside. His gray beard was flying in the air, and his old face was shaking like pine bark.

"You tricked this ginseng plant here, aren't you afraid that the king will kill you?"

He had long been interested in this ginseng and had never dared to speak. Unexpectedly, Xiangzi, who was usually silent, deceived the ginseng all at once.

What a biting dog... Bah, what a resourceful and clever plan!

"What do you mean by lying? What I said is true. Do you think I would use the name of my master to deceive the king? Putting such good medicinal materials as decorations in the palace is simply a waste of natural resources. Besides, with this ginseng in hand, it will extend the life of the prime minister for ten years. It's not a difficult thing to do. Even if the king knows about it, he will laugh it off." Xiangzi glared at Song Zhong.

Based on his understanding of Zhao Kuo, if he took ginseng and achieved nothing in the end, he would definitely be punished, but because of his status and value, the punishment would not be too serious.

If the research yields results, even if Zhao Kuo learns that his purpose is to obtain ginseng, he will laugh it off and maybe give himself a reward.

Besides, he didn't want ginseng for his own selfish reasons, he really wanted to study it.

Although doctors have many works and research, there is almost no research on medicinal materials with spiritual energy. Bian Que only got a ginseng with spiritual energy by chance, and the efficacy of the medicine may not be as good as the one he had.

As for others, they don't have this luck.

Perhaps he could take this opportunity to fill in the gaps.

"It's just... one plant is a bit missing. It would be nice if there were more." Xiangzi sighed.

"It's good to have one, but you still think it's too little?" Song Zhong said with wide eyes.
