Chapter 0438 Some things are not as bad as you think
Li Yi opened the letter and read it for a while, then raised his head and glanced at Xu Xun strangely.
Then he turned around and said to Feng Yong with a smile, "Brother, there is news about Zhang Changsha's descendants."
"Zhang Changsha?"
Feng Yong frowned and thought for a moment before reacting. He glanced at Xu Xun also strangely, "This matter...has been a long time, hasn't it?"
When Li Yi returned to Hanzhong from Nanzhong, he mentioned this matter to him.
It was said that Xu Ci had been asked to ask about this matter, but Xu Ci just vaguely said that he would do his best, and Feng Yong and Li Yi no longer had any hope.
And at the beginning, he really wanted to establish a medical system through Zhang Zhongjing's descendants.
But since there was a successor trained by Hua Tuo himself, and Amei had two medical books by Zhang Zhongjing, he was not so urgent about this matter, and even gradually forgot about it.
Unexpectedly, Xu Ci could still remember this incident.
After glancing at Xu Xun, Feng Yong glanced at Xu Xun thoughtfully and asked, "Xu Zhongye, what did you say above?"
"Brother, let's take a look too."
Li Yi handed over the letter, "After Zhang Changsha passed away, it seems that a lot of things happened to the Zhang family in Lingnan."
After being here for so long, Feng Yong was finally able to read various official documents and letters from this era.
Xu Ci was also considerate, and described in great detail the current situation of Zhang Zhongjing's descendants in Lingnan.
The main surname in Nanyang County is the Zhang family, and Zhang Zhongjing is from the Zhang family in Nanyang County, so he had the opportunity to become the governor of Changsha.
But for the mainstream society at that time, Zhang Zhongjing was an anomaly.
How could the Zhang family of Nanyang County tolerate such things that were insulting to the family tradition when they were the governor of a county but were willing to take up lowly jobs? He sent people to persuade him many times, but the two sides always broke up unhappy.
Later, Zhang Zhongjing even left the Zhang family directly.
However, due to his medical practice, he was unable to even become an official, so he took his family and fled to Lingnan to live in seclusion.
There were many diseases in Lingnan, but Zhang Zhongjing was very skilled in medicine and cured many people in Lingnan. After his death, the people built a shrine to him.
It is a pity that after Zhang Zhongjing's death, his descendants were divided because of his medical practice. Some people returned to Nanyang and wanted to return to their ancestors, while some gave up practicing medicine and just wanted to guard Zhang Zhongjing's ancestral hall in Lingnan.
As for those who want to continue practicing medicine, there is no one - there may be some, but the successor head of the Zhang family in Lingnan will not let him, and the news from the Zhang family in Lingnan says that Zhang Zhongjing does not have any medical books handed down.
"absurd!"
Feng Yong threw the letter on the table and said angrily, "Zhang Changsha's temple was built because he used medical skills to treat the people, so the people erected it."
"Today, his descendants regard the practice of medicine as a savage beast, but they say they want to guard his ancestral hall in peace. It is really ridiculous!"
As for the theory that Zhang Zhongjing has no medical books handed down, that is even more ridiculous. Could it be that the two medical books he has were written by others?
After Xu Xun heard this, he was slandering in his heart: Practicing medicine is a lowly profession. Is it wrong for people not to practice this lowly profession?
"Only when you build an ancestral hall can you raise the status of your family. The Zhang family in Lingnan was separated from the Zhang family in Nanyang and has a shallow foundation. Guarding the ancestral hall can be regarded as having a foundation."
"Coupled with Zhang Changsha's reputation among the people during his lifetime, if he manages it well, he may not be able to take root and become his own line. If he continues to practice medicine, but falls into a lowly career, how can the current head of the Zhang family in Lingnan be like that?
Will people from the clan be allowed to practice medicine again?”
Li Yi gave Feng Yong some analysis.
Feng Yong nodded, "That's the truth, but I feel a little uncomfortable in my heart."
He glanced at Li Yi and forced a smile, "Make Wenxuan laugh."
After saying that, he sighed again.
How many people have been saved by a book called "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases"?
According to the historical trajectory, if someone hadn't happened to see the fragments of this book decades later and tried their best to restore it, I am afraid that this masterpiece of classical medicine would have disappeared into the long river of history along with countless others.
Like those things, they were annihilated quietly.
Even so, only half of it was restored in the end, and no one has ever known the remaining half.
Cheap karma, low karma, low karma of your mother!
Feng Yong cursed in his heart.
The people are the driving force of historical progress.
And a hero is just the leader who happens to be meeting.
It's just that the power of the world is so powerful. Even if Feng Yong tried his best, the most he could do was to secretly change the concept within his own control, remove the bad status and change it into a good status.
To change the lowly status of farmers and workers, one way is to improve the Confucian idea of governing the country - for Feng Yong, this move is simply more difficult than traveling through time again.
How can it be so easy to make a statement?
What's more, is he speaking out for the low-income workers in Guizhou?
Another way is to directly use Ma Dabeard's theory: liberate productivity, develop productivity, and use productivity to promote changes in production relations.
And this method is also very difficult. If the family is not smashed to pieces, there is no hope.
Because aristocratic families would instinctively suppress agriculture, industry, and commerce in order to maintain their privileges, this indirectly suppressed the development of productive forces.
It is not without reason that in the Song Dynasty, when the aristocratic family was completely disintegrated, the famous saying "If you are not a good minister, you must be a good doctor".
No matter how later generations criticize the Song Dynasty for its weak military force, they must nod in recognition of its cultural brilliance.
Because of the spread of knowledge and the decentralization of the power to interpret knowledge, this was the basis for the rise of scholar-officials, so later on there was a theory that scholar-officials and the emperor co-ruled the world.
However, the exclusivity of imperial power was innate. When the self-castrating version of Confucianism proposed by "Da Zhu Hozi", the emperor quickly carried it forward.
The Song Dynasty emphasized literature over military affairs because the generals of the Tang Dynasty were disrupting the country, and the Ming Dynasty weakened the power of ministers because the imperial power of the Song Dynasty was weak. Both of these are suspected of overcorrection.
And how difficult it is for the Wei and Wu countries that are in power to overthrow the family!
Only Shu, due to special historical reasons, is the weakest link of the family.
Go to places where the enemy's ruling power is weak to seek a foothold. Feng Yong once taught himself this way in the dragon-slaying technique he learned since he was a child.
Li Yi knew that his brother acted strangely sometimes, so he didn't pay much attention to Feng Yong's words.
I saw him saying to Xu Xun, "Mr. Xu, I have really troubled Xu Zhongye Ling this time. When I get back, please say a word to Zhong Ye Ling for Yi, and I will definitely come to thank you in the future."
Xu Xun said quickly, "Why is Li Langjun so polite? My lord said, it's just a matter of repairing a letter. My lord often says, Li Langjun..."
After saying that, he glanced at Feng Yong above him again, and then said calmly, "Li Langjun... and Feng Langjun are rare talented people in the Han Dynasty. I want to get close to you."
Hearing this, not only Feng Yong, but also Li Yi had a strange look on his face.
Xu Xun, on the other hand, felt his forehead rumbling and his face burning hot when he said these words. He didn't even dare to raise his head to look at Feng Yong and Li Yi, for fear of seeing mocking looks on their faces.
As if after an extremely long wait, Feng Yong above him suddenly laughed, and Xu Xun immediately gritted his teeth: Even if I die, I will not be angry with this bumpkin!
Thinking like this, he suddenly raised his head and saw Feng Yong smiling above him, looking extremely gentle.
"Xu Langjun's words are really over-the-top. He is a talented person, but he is just favored by everyone. Thanks to Xu Langjun for never giving up, it is truly an honor to be able to make friends with Xu Langjun forever."
When Xu Xun heard this and saw the sincere expression on Feng Yong's face, his eyes became hot and he felt a rush of blood rushing to his forehead.
It turns out that some things are not as bad as you imagined.
