Only after finishing this small part of the "Huangdi Neijing" did Xiangzi stop, let the students rest for a while, and walked outside.
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, and Censor." Xiangzi opened the door, bowed his hands, and said, stroking his beard.
He noticed it when Zhao Kuo and the others appeared outside the window, but he still insisted on finishing what needed to be said before coming out to see Zhao Kuo.
"Xiangzi's teachings were so fascinating that even I listened to them," Zhao Kuo said with a smile.
"Thank you, Your Majesty. In fact, these are the simplest and most basic parts of medicine. The key is to see whether the disease can be cured. A doctor who can cure a disease is a good doctor." Xiangzi said.
He once had a disciple who, within a few years, memorized all the medical books by heart, knew how to diagnose and treat various diseases at his fingertips, and even came up with his own unique insights. Even an experienced doctor like him was no match.
But once they met a real patient, they were dumbfounded and could only stand aside and stamp their feet.
In the end, Xiangzi had no choice but to let this disciple named Tao Cheng go home.
However, later Zhao Kuo ordered doctors to compile a "Medical Classic", and Xiangzi called this disciple back.
It doesn’t work in practice, but no one can surpass him in theory. This is a walking medical book, and it has its own search function. No matter what Xiangzi and the others need, as long as there are sages who have written the book and passed it down, and it has been read by Tao Cheng, Tao Chengdu
Can write it out.
"How is the "Medical Classic" compiled?" Zhao Kuo asked.
"There is still a long way to go. We spent three years traveling to all parts of Zhao State to revise the classification, growth environment, appearance, smell, main diseases, medicinal properties, dosage, efficacy, and precautions of all herbal medicines.
Prescriptions, etc.”
"Not only that, we have also revised the sections of veterinary medicine, insect medicine, gold and stone medicine, cereal medicine, and human medicine, and added a lot of content. Basically, we have improved the arrangement and compilation of all medicines in the Zhao Kingdom. But for the medicines in the other six countries
It hasn’t been sorted out yet.”
"In addition, acupuncture, dietary supplements, massage, Dafangmai, Xiaofangmai and other parts have not been completed. Although there are many doctors gathered in the college, but they are divided here and there, there are not many left.
Xiangzi said.
They have indeed been busy these years. After sorting out the ancient books, the teacher took the students to travel across mountains and rivers, pick herbs, test and measure, draw patterns, compile them into volumes, and correct errors in the ancient books.
We didn't have this opportunity before, but now we have this opportunity and we must seize it. All doctors dare not neglect it. Every day is a mixture of pain and happiness.
"..." Only then did Zhao Kuo realize how many things the doctors had done in the past few years. Some things sounded simple, but in reality they were extremely difficult to do.
From knowing nothing about a medicinal herb to knowing which diseases it can cure and how to cure it, I don’t know how many doctors have worked hard and even paid a price for it.
"Do you need to go to other countries to taste herbs?" Zhao Kuo was silent for a while and then asked.
"If possible." Xiangzi said firmly.
"I will write to the kings of other countries. They will not embarrass Zhao State on such a trivial matter. I will inform you of the results," Zhao Kuo said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Xiangzi bowed solemnly.
"I, the king, want to thank you, and even the whole world wants to thank you. The dedication of the doctors will bless everyone in the world, and even future generations." Zhao Kuo helped Xiangzi up, returned the gift, and said with a smile, "The doctors
Whether there is a genius or not, the child I just saw seems very good."
"Your Majesty, this child's name is Xia Wuji. He is from the Qin State. He came to the State of Zhao with his father. His father is also a doctor. Compared with his father, Wuji's medical talent is better than that of his father. He is one of the best among his peers.
." Xiangzi called Xia Wuji over, pulled him in front of him, stroked Xia Wuji's little head and said.
Xia Wuji widened his eyes and looked at Zhao Kuo curiously.
"Study medicine well and revitalize the Zhao Kingdom in the future." Zhao Kuo also looked at Xia Wuji and warned him.
"Can studying medicine also revitalize the State of Zhao?" Xia Wuji asked.
"Yes." Zhao Kuo said.
"Then I will study medicine hard." Xia Wuji nodded solemnly.
Zhao Kuo and the other three did not stay long, chatted for a few words and then left.
After a few days, the news that Chu State had given land on both sides of Zhejiang to Yue State finally reached Zhao State.
"The Chu State is so courageous!" Zhao Kuo said in surprise. After thinking about it for a moment, he realized that the Chu State was not well-intentioned and was now waiting for the Yue people to come out of the mountains and relax their vigilance before taking action against them.
However, the Yue Kingdom had no other choice, unless it wanted to return to its previous state of fragmentation and stay in the mountains for the rest of its life.
"The State of Yue...is no match for the State of Chu." Zhao Kuo sighed in his heart.
The Kingdom of Chu has been established for eight hundred years, so it is indeed not easy to deal with. This King of Chu is much more courageous than his father, King Chu Qingxiang, and his grandfather, King Chu Huai, two fools.
His grandfather and his father were coaxed, deceived, and beaten by the Qin State, and half of the Chu State was wiped out.
Now a nail has just appeared behind the Chu State, and the King of Chu is about to pull it out.
Needless to say, there is a gap in strength between Yue and Chu. Unless Zhao provides assistance, Yue will definitely not be Chu's opponent.
However, Zhao Guojun is still mining in Yingzhou, and he doesn't know when he will come back. Even if he comes back, just a few thousand people will not be able to make any difference.
Moreover, it is impossible for Zhao State to stand clearly on the side of Yue State.
It was announced some time ago that it would not recognize the country of Yue, so it is impossible for it to slap itself in the face.
"Come here." Zhao Kuo picked the wick to make the candle shine brighter.
This is the candle that Zhao Guo just made out of white wax.
The use of wax is very early. As early as the primitive period, some people applied fat, wax and other things on wooden sticks and bark to make torches for lighting.
But these are beeswax, and Zhao Kuo used white wax.
It is the wax produced by the white wax insect. It is the main raw material for candles in ancient China and is far more popular than beeswax.
Although there were ash trees in Zhao State before, no one collected and used the ash.
Zhao Kuo only knew that ash was more famous in Sichuan in later generations. He didn't know that ash was passed from the north. He just wanted to give it a try. Anyway, even if the ash tree cannot produce ash, it can also control saline-alkali land.
Not a loss.
Unexpectedly, it actually succeeded.
"Your Majesty." Liu Ping came in from outside.
"Send someone to notify Yue and tell them Chu's strategy so that they can be more vigilant," Zhao Kuo said.
It was impossible to send troops to assist, and Zhao State had no supplies of food, and it was reluctant to give them to Yue State in vain.
The Yue State has no shortage of weapons and armor, so it can only expose the Chu State's plan and make the Yue State prepared.
Even if Chu is not the opponent in the end, Yue will still be able to hold on for a few more days.
