A large part of the reason why Chinese medicine has been criticized in later generations is because of the traditional "one disease, one remedy" approach, which requires a large number of qualified Chinese medicine practitioners.
The training cycle of traditional Chinese medicine is too long, so it will gradually decline.
Shen Yi was beaten up by the county government and had to lie in bed for half a month. Doctor Yan personally visited the doctor and prescribed the prescription. Even after a period of time, Doctor Yan even came to adjust the prescription for Shen Yi.
Fortunately, big cities like Jiangdu and Jiankang have many medical doctors in the city, and you can get a doctor if you are sick. However, in some remote places or poor people in the city, once they get sick, they will not be able to get help. You may be able to afford a doctor, but many times you have to rely on yourself or use some home remedies to treat your illness.
What's more, they will go to the temple to ask for incense ashes to bring back to cure their illnesses.
The medical level of this era cannot be said to be advanced, but at least it is far superior to potions boiled out of crocodile tears and crow's paws. The reason why the average life expectancy cannot increase is because of the uneven medical resources.
The business Shen Yi wants to do is "patent medicine".
That is to say, it is a ready-made medicine that does not require a doctor's visit. As long as the symptoms are similar, such as a cold and a fever, you can directly decoct the medicine and take it.
Shen Yi earned a little money in his last life. After he got terminally ill, he built a small wooden house in the mountains. According to modern medicine at that time, he might have less than half a year left. However, Shen Yi spent some time cultivating himself in the mountains and bought another I read a lot of Chinese medicine books and some ancient books to see if there were any symptoms on my body, so I would make myself some medicine to drink.
After working like this for a year or two, although his illness was not cured, at least he was still alive and well until he "travelled" and did not kill himself.
This prescription was found in a book called "The Barefoot Doctor's Handbook" in his previous life. Its main effect is to reduce fever.
The Barefoot Doctor's Handbook was a book jointly written by two Chinese medical schools in the difficult times. Because the means of production and medical resources were extremely scarce at that time, there was no way to spread it to the countryside. Therefore, the government came forward to print this book to teach people how to practice medicine. books, thus giving birth to a group of barefoot doctors in the countryside and mountains.
The prescriptions in this book are not necessarily magical prescriptions that can cure diseases, but one thing can be guaranteed, that is, they are safe.
No matter what, it won't kill anyone.
Only such "complete prescriptions" can be printed and distributed to various places.
Shen Yi relied on his memory to write out this recipe. After writing it out, he first went to see Doctor Yan in the city to confirm it, and then ate it himself for two or three days. After confirming that there was no problem, he gave the recipe to Xu complex.
Shen Yi pulled Xu Fu to sit down and said slowly: "After you go out, help as many people as possible. In about a month, when our county examination is over, you can come back to Jiangdu to find me."
Shen Yi asked: "Is there any problem?"
Although Xu Fu is not old, he has been wandering on the streets of Jiangdu for several years and does not have much of the immaturity of a child. He looked at Shen Yi, hesitated for a moment, and said: "Sir, the business in the city is still there. If I leave all of a sudden, my brothers and sisters may not be able to do well. I want to make arrangements in the city first, and then go out to do errands for the young master in a day or two."
"Not in a hurry."
Shen Yi smiled and said: "This matter cannot be accomplished in a day or two, it will even be difficult to accomplish in a year or two. Let's take our time."
Patent medicines require a lot of experimental data. The specific medicine to use for each disease cannot be determined blindly. Although Shen Yi is currently only preparing to make patent medicines for common diseases such as coughs, colds, and fevers, even so, it will not be possible in a short time. It can be made.
In the future, Shen Yi will also hire some doctors to be "technical supervisors".
Mr. Shen’s business plan is to develop something within five years.
According to his current academic progress, he will definitely be admitted to the Jinshi within five years. If he is admitted to the Jinshi in five years and has an official status, he will naturally be able to start a business. If he is temporarily unable to be admitted to the Jinshi in five years, Shen Yi will still continue. He will take the exam, but the focus of officialdom may be on his younger brother Shen Heng.
The Jinshi exam was not easy, or very difficult, so Shen Yi had to make two plans for himself.
Shen Yi stayed in the city for half a day before leaving. At noon, the other five little guys came back for dinner. Shen Yi also had a meal with the six little guys before leaving.
At this time, Shen Heng had also moved to the academy, so Shen Yi did not stay in the city. He left Jiangdu in the evening and returned to the academy.
Because the county examination is approaching, the academy has compiled a list of students who will participate in the county examination this year. When the time comes, the teachers in the academy will take it to the teaching office to register together. The academy receives many students for reference every year, and they have already signed up. Every one of the students was nervous, and the sound of reading could be heard everywhere in the academy.
Shen Yi took advantage of the darkness and returned to his school building.
Although it has already entered autumn, the autumn tiger is still very powerful. The sky is hot and hot. As soon as he pushed the door and entered the school building, he saw his younger brother Shen Heng wearing a single coat and sitting by the bed, reading under the light of the oil lamp. Book.
The academy's dormitory was originally between two people, but Shen Yi's previous roommate moved away, so Shen Yi lived alone in a room. After Shen Heng entered the academy, the two brothers lived together.
Seeing Shen Heng who was studying, Shen Yi put the bag of pastries in his hand on the table and said with a smile: "Reading like this in the middle of the night hurts your eyes. This is the food I bought for you in the city. You can try some. Then just sleep."
Shen Heng quickly put down his book, opened the oil paper bag, looked up at Shen Yi, and said with a smile: "Brother, you are not in the academy today. Mr. Qin already talked about you in the academy."
Shen Yi sat down and stretched out: "What did the old man say about me?"
"Say you're lazy."
The oil paper bag had been opened. Shen Heng picked up a piece of pastry and took a big bite. Then he looked at Shen Yi and said with a smile: "The teacher said that brother, you don't work very hard because of your cleverness. You took the exam in a nearby county and went out all day long." If you run, you might fail the exam this year."
Shen Qilang rolled his eyes slightly.
"The old man is very talkative. Haven't I been in the academy every day in the past half month? I only went out for one day, and then he said bad things about me behind my back!"
As he said this, Shen lay half-lying on his bed and yawned again.
"According to his wishes, I won't leave the academy until the county examination, so I can study in the academy with peace of mind."
Shen Heng had already eaten two pieces of pastry, and the corners of his mouth were covered with the dregs of the pastry. He wiped his mouth with his sleeve, looked at his brother, and suddenly said: "Brother, if you fail the exam this year, it's not a bad thing. Mr. Qin told me that I can take the county exam next year, and we will take the exam together then."
Shen Yi glared at Shen Heng and said angrily: "Why, are you expecting your brother to fail the county examination?"
After Shen Heng ate two pieces of pastries, he stopped eating. He wrapped the remaining pastries and flipped through two pages of the book before saying: "After taking the county examination and government examination, my brother will go to the capital to take the exam." The college examination will be held, and the provincial examination will be held in the capital next year. Brother, you will have to stay in the capital for at least two years before you can return to Jiangdu..."
The two brothers depended on each other for life, so Shen Heng naturally couldn't let go of his brother.
After hearing this, Shen Yi sighed slightly in his heart. He was silent for a while and then whispered.
"From now on, in the academy, we should call him Jiankang, not Jingcheng."
