Lu Chen directly helped Sun Simiao to his seat and sat down again, "How could Taoist Sun be so disrespectful!" Lu Chen complained about Sun Simiao giving such a great gift to him.

"Don't blame Pindao, Mr. Lu. It's true that Mr. Lu can give Master Ling's medical books to Pindao to read..." At this point, Sun Simiao did not continue, and there was a sparkle in his good eyes.

It's no wonder that Sun Simiao is like this. Many doctors and doctors in this era are very particular about inheritance and family. What is passed on to sons but not daughters, and what is passed down from within to outsiders. Some doctors who have secret recipes passed down from their ancestors are even dispensing medicines for people. Sometimes he would ask his apprentice to prepare a few less medicines, and the most important medicines were prepared and added by him himself. Lu Chen actually handed over the medical book left by his master to Sun Simiao so lightly. , how could it not be moved by Sun Simiao.

"Taoist Priest, I have a few words, I don't know whether I should say them or not?" Lu Chen looked at Sun Simiao with inquiring eyes and asked.

"It's okay if Mr. Lu County has anything to say!" Sun Simiao said sincerely when he saw Lu Chen.

"I have always believed that if I cherish my broom, it will only affect the development of medical science. Not only medical science, but also how many good things have been destroyed from ancient times to the present because of these broken rules of passing on from son to son, not from daughter to daughter, and from within to outsiders. In the long river of history, of course, this cannot be changed overnight, but it is still possible to start from the bottom!" Lu Chen played with the wine glass and looked at Sun Simiao and said sincerely.

"Mr. Lu really hit the nail on the head!" After hearing what Lu Chen said, Sun Simiao directly raised his hands and praised him for his kindness. Because of what Lu Chen said, Sun Simiao had encountered many things during his decades of practicing medicine. In order to write a medical book, Sun Simiao could It is said that he has visited countless traditional doctors, but there are only a few who are willing to share their secret recipes for Sun Simiao to learn from and learn from. Lu Chen's words can be said to have directly spoken to Sun Simiao's heart.

"Taoist Priest, have you ever thought about opening a school to teach disciples?" Lu Chen suggested as he looked at Sun Simiao.

"In the past few decades, Pindao has had more than a dozen disciples. Besides, Pindao is getting older. He may have more than enough ambition but not enough strength! Pindao's current wish is to give him the experience he has accumulated throughout his life of practicing medicine. Write it down so that future generations can learn from it!" Sun Simiao shook his head. After all, teaching Chinese medicine to disciples is very labor-intensive. After all, it depends not only on talent, but also on character. If the character is not good, how can we cure diseases and save people, and hang a pot to help the world?

"Taoist Priest, have you ever thought about how many people in the world can be saved by you and your disciples alone?" After hearing Sun Simiao's words, if Lu Chen didn't know how old Sun Simiao, the living god, had lived, I'm afraid I really believed Sun Simiao's words. After all, seventy years are rare in life. Sun Simiao has already passed the age of seventy at this time. Sun Simiao's words are reasonable and well-founded, but Lu Chen knows that from now on, Sun Simiao can live for at least several decades. Lu Chen even doubted for a moment whether he could survive this living god. Maybe he would have to go in front of him.

"Everyone you save counts as one!" Doesn't Lu Chen's words make sense? It made so much sense, but it was the fact. Sun Simiao didn't know how to refute Lu Chen. He could only sigh and take a sip of the wine in the glass. The look on his face was still somewhat unwilling.

"What if there was a way for the Taoist priest to treat more people and open a clinic to teach apprentices?" Lu Chen looked at Sun Simiao and said with a smile, looking confident.

"I wonder what the county master has in mind?" Sun Simiao saw Lu Chen's confident look. Sun Simiao was also curious, what could Lu Chen do about this kind of thing? Could it be that County Master Lu could conjure countless doctors out of thin air?

"That's what I'm thinking about. What if we build a medical center?" Lu Chen took a sip from his wine glass and looked at Sun Simiao and said.

"Medical clinic?" When Sun Simiao heard Lu Chen's words, he pondered for a moment: "Isn't there already an imperial medical office in the imperial court?" Then he looked at Lu Chen in surprise and asked.

"Who does this Imperial Medical Office serve?" Lu Chen did not answer Sun Simiao's words, but turned the wine glass in his hand and looked at Sun Simiao and asked. "To be precise, what are the main service targets?"

In fact, the Imperial Medical Office can be said to be the earliest medical university to appear in China. According to the record of "Taichang Temple" in Volume 14 of "Tang Liudian", the Imperial Medical Office has two ministers, from the seventh rank, and two ministers, from the eighth rank. "The Imperial Physician is responsible for the medical treatment, and the Prime Minister is responsible for it. There are four categories: physician, acupuncture master, masseur, and curse master. They all have doctors to teach them, and their examinations and promotions are like the methods of Guozijian." The teachers in each discipline are mainly doctors and teaching assistants, and there are also doctors, medical engineers and others.

Physicians and doctors teach students according to their different majors. "The first is physical therapy, the second is sores and swelling, the third is Shao Xiao, the fourth is ear, eye, mouth, and teeth, and the fifth is angle therapy." "Physical therapy" is equivalent to the current TCM internal medicine; the schooling lasts for seven years; "sore swelling" is similar to today's traditional Chinese medicine surgery; "Fa" refers to cupping, both of which last two years of study. Doctors of acupuncture teach acupuncture to identify "meridians and points" and how to use and apply needles. The masseur doctor taught "massage students use the method of message guidance to eliminate eight diseases: one is wind, two is cold, three is heat, four is dampness, five is hunger, six is ​​full, seven is fatigue, and eight is Yi". Dr. Curse Master teaches Curse students "the most powerful ones are those who use Curse to eliminate evil spirits".

In addition, there were pharmacists, who were equivalent to today’s pharmacists. Medicine gardeners plant and harvest medicinal materials in time every year according to the season and climate. Medicine Garden Masters are selected from among Medicine Garden students. The origin of Yaoyuansheng is "take the common people at the age of sixteen and the age of twenty". When graduating from the pharmacy, students need to be familiar with the compatibility of yin and yang of various drugs, mutual complementation, toxicity and non-toxicity, as well as the parts for collecting herbs, pharmaceutical methods, storage environment and other skills.

According to the majors studied by students at the Imperial Medical Office, the textbooks they study are "Compendium of Materia Medica", "Mingtang", "Mai Jue", "Su Wen", "Huangdi Acupuncture Classic", "Jia Yi Pulse Classic", etc.

The annual evaluation of doctors by the Imperial Medical Office is mainly based on the number of patients they cure. "Liu Dian of the Tang Dynasty" clearly stipulates: "Every doctor, doctor, or medical worker who treats people's diseases should write down the total number of them as a test."

The examination method for medical students is: "A monthly examination for doctors, an examination for imperial doctors and ministers during the season, and a general examination for Taichang Cheng at the end of the year. If the professional skills are too high to meet the official appointment, they will be replaced. Those who have failed to achieve success after nine years of schooling , return the original color”. In other words, medical students at the Imperial Medical Office can retain their status for a maximum of nine years. Those who have not graduated after nine years will be expelled from school; outstanding students among them can serve as teaching assistants, doctors and other teaching staff.

The service scope of the Imperial Medical Office in the Tang Dynasty was very wide. It not only served the royal family, but also all civil and military officials of the capital, ordinary soldiers, craftsmen, and even prisoners and slaves. The "Medical Disease Order" of the Tang Dynasty stipulates that "in places where there are more than 500 people on marches and operations, a doctor will be given." Treatment". "Tang Code" also stipulates, "When the craftsmen are working and guarding against others, if the servants of the government households are sick and the master fails to ask for medical treatment, he will be flogged forty times; as a result, the deceased will live for one year."

It can be said that the Imperial Medical Office's management of doctors is very strict. Although the Imperial Medical Office has a wide range of services, its main targets are still those high-ranking officials and dignitaries. As for those sent abroad, there are basically very few, and the " "Medical Museum" is for the general public.

It can be said that the service recipients are essentially different from those of the Imperial Medical Office.

"This..." Hearing Lu Chen's rhetorical question, Sun Simiao was at a loss for words. Why was he unwilling to become an official? With his medical skills, he was at least an imperial doctor. The reason why Sun Simiao was unwilling to become an official in the court was because, first, Sun Simiao didn't like intrigues. Don't think that the Imperial Medical Office only needs to treat people. Sometimes, who should be treated first and who should be treated later, how to use this medicine, how to use that medicine, how to treat the emperor, and how to treat the princes, princesses, etc. There are particularities in how the queen and concubines treat doctors, and Sun Simiao doesn't like this. If another person like Sun Simiao, a miraculous doctor, enters the court and becomes an official, he will definitely never leave Chang'an City again. He will have to do it for the rest of his life. The royal service was done. For Sun Simiao, who was dedicated to saving the world and saving people, this was definitely even more unacceptable. Now Lu Chen said that he would open a "medical clinic" for him, and even brought the Imperial Medical Office to discuss it. Sun Simiao was temporarily He didn't even know how to answer Lu Chen.

"Taoist Priest, I just want to help you realize your wish!" Lu Chen looked at Sun Simiao and smiled. At this time, Sun Simiao was obviously hesitant. Lu Chen decided to take another dose of strong medicine, "This is what I have set up." The medical center will treat everyone equally, even providing medical treatment and donating medicine to poor people!" Lu Chen looked at Sun Simiao and said confidently.

"Do you really mean what Mr. Lu County said?" Hearing that Lu Chen could even provide medicine and medicine to poor people, he immediately looked at Lu Chen with burning eyes. Although Sun Simiao had also given medicine and medicine when he was traveling in Xuanhu to save the world, after all, His power alone is too limited, and he doesn't have that much financial resources to do such a thing, but Lu Chen can definitely do such a thing.

"I never tell lies. Since I promised Taoist Sun, I will definitely do it!" Lu Chen looked at Sun Simiao and said seriously, "However, if you give away medicines casually, I'm afraid it will encourage laziness. Sometimes they will be asked to use their work to compensate for medical expenses! Of course, the specific relevant rules will be formulated in detail below!"

"If it is true as the county official said, it is not impossible to establish this medical center!" Sun Simiao nodded after hearing Lu Chen's explanation.
