Chapter 421 It's too difficult, no one believes the truth
Chapter 421 It’s too difficult, no one believes the truth (three-in-one)
“…It’s really beneficial to talk to the emperor’s uncle!
The emperor's uncle's words made me suddenly enlightened.
The troubles that have plagued me for many years have suddenly disappeared!”
Hua Tuo saluted Liu Cheng with great respect and said this.
Liu Chengdao: "I'm just providing an idea. How to do it specifically requires Yuanhua to explore and study it himself.
It’s not a big achievement.”
Hua Tuo shook his head solemnly and said: "Uncle Huang's idea is not a simple one.
This is a highway.
The most difficult thing is not to explore the medicine later, but the emperor's idea."
After getting the news about Ma Fei San from Liu Cheng, Hua Tuo couldn't sit still and wanted to start making Ma Fei San immediately.
As a result, Liu Cheng said this at this time: "I wonder if Yuanhua knows anything about the Sishuiguan Field Hospital?"
Hua Tuo spoke up: "I've heard about it. I heard that this is a place established by the emperor's uncle to train military doctors. They teach military doctors effective healing methods, which greatly reduces the casualties of injured soldiers..."
Who cares about what.
As a famous doctor, Hua Tuo had heard about the amazing results that the military doctors trained by Liu Cheng had in the battle between Dong Zhuo's troops and the Kwantung Allied Forces.
In fact, when Hua Tuo first decided to go to Guanzhong and look for Liu Cheng, he heard this news and was attracted by it.
As a result, when I came to Guanzhong, I discovered that Uncle Liu Huang was excellent not only in his medical skills...
"I am the director of the field hospital. When it was first established, I wanted to cultivate a group of excellent military doctors, greatly reduce the casualties of soldiers in battle, and provide a strong guarantee for the soldiers.
Now, after implementation, it still has some effects.
But as the military doctors arrived, I discovered something else.
That's because the skills of military doctors are too monotonous.
Moreover, I also received some inspiration through the establishment of the Sishuiguan Field Hospital.
Since bringing military doctors together for systematic study can produce such good results, why can't we set up a special academy to gather people to learn medical skills?
Cultivate a group of people with relatively qualified medical skills, and let them fully display their medical skills in the future to practice medicine and save people in various places.
There are famous doctors among us Han people, and there are people who have gone very far on the road of medical skills.
However, there are too few such people.
Compared to the many people who need to be healed.
Too little.
Many people who want to be cured simply cannot find a doctor.
So I want to hire Yuan Hua as the doctor of medicine in my field hospital, so that Yuan Hua can practice medicine and treat diseases while also setting up tutorials, teaching students, and learning medical skills.
Cultivate more qualified doctors.
What does Yuanhua think?"
What Liu Cheng said deeply touched Hua Tuo.
He is a doctor, or a doctor who practices medicine everywhere with his apprentices. He has traveled to many places and seen many scenes. He has a deeper understanding of what Liu Cheng said.
He has seen too many people whose original illnesses were not fatal and were cured easily at first.
But because he couldn't find a doctor, he eventually became seriously ill.
I have also seen too many patients who were delayed by quack doctors.
In order to cure the disease, not only the whole family was bankrupted, but in the end the disease was not cured, the life was not saved, and the whole family was implicated...
All these situations can be avoided.
The premise is that there need to be enough qualified doctors to do this.
For this reason, Hua Tuo himself also accepted disciples during his medical practice.
However, in today's era, practicing medicine is not a very glorious thing.
Doctors who can save people do not have a high social status at all.
Compared with practicing medicine, studying and promoting filial piety and integrity are more attractive.
For this reason, the number of Hua Tuo's disciples was not large.
It's not that he doesn't want to accept it, but that not many people are willing to learn it.
Even if someone is willing to learn, he won't be able to bring many disciples.
His medical practice model cannot support too many disciples...
At this time, I heard that Liu Cheng actually asked him to go to the field hospital to become a doctor of medicine!
His hands couldn't help but tremble.
Today, only Doctors of the Five Classics are used to teach Confucian classics.
As for medical doctors, there are none.
When the status of medical practitioners is so low, how could anyone specifically set up the official position of doctorate for medical practitioners?
But now, the man in front of me has made it clear that he wants to hire himself as a doctor of medicine at the Sishui Pass Field Hospital!
If someone else had said this, Hua Tuo would naturally not believe it.
But the person in front of him was Uncle Liu Huang. He said this to himself personally, but he believed it!
Because he has the ability to do this.
He has great power, and this is not the previous era when officials were arguing with each other and Confucian scholars were filling the court.
Nowadays, those who speak well are no longer the old-fashioned Confucians, but people with military backgrounds such as Liu Huangshu and Dong Zhuo.
In their hearts, they don’t have many thoughts of excluding dissidents, at least they don’t show too much favoritism to Confucianism.
Uncle Liu Huang's words were equivalent to clearly placing things in front of him that he wanted to do very much before, but could not do, or could not do even if he spent his whole life.
Let the medicine that I have always insisted on and engage in appear new hope!
Hua Tuo already had a premonition that if Uncle Liu Huang could continue to do what he said, then the medicine he was engaged in would usher in an earth-shaking turn!
You must seize this opportunity no matter what!
He took a deep breath, saluted Liu Cheng respectfully, and said:
"The Emperor's uncle calls you, do you dare to disobey?"
Liu Cheng looked at Hua Tuo and said: "After becoming a doctor of medicine, Yuanhua will teach you a lot of things you know. I will make this clear to you Yuanhua in advance, and you should consider it carefully."
Hua Tuo said: "The emperor's uncle even allowed Hua Tuo, a person he had never met before, to join in the magical medicine for treating tuberculosis, and he was not afraid that Hua Tuo would learn to leave.
He also told Hua Tuo about the idea of Ma Fei Powder worth tens of thousands of gold, and was not afraid that Hua Tuo would spread it.
Although Hua Tuo is not as upright and noble in character as his uncle, how can he be so precious to himself?
After becoming a doctor of medicine, you will definitely teach others what you have learned throughout your life.
I am not afraid that those disciples will learn it, but I am afraid that they will not be able to learn it and will not learn it completely!"
Hearing this, Liu Cheng stepped forward, held Hua Tuo's hand tightly, and said loudly: "You Yuanhua's words make me relieved!
Medicine and the people are so lucky to have people like Yuan Hua here!"
Hua Tuo said to Liu Cheng very sincerely: "What the emperor said is exactly what I want to say.
It is really a blessing for Hua Tuo that Hua Tuo can meet the emperor's uncle, a blessing for medicine, and a blessing for the sick people!"
"Uncle Emperor, there are still some things that Hua Tuo doesn't know whether to talk about or not."
After talking about the Sishui Pass Field Hospital for a while, Hua Tuo hesitated for a while and then said this to Liu Cheng.
Hearing this, Liu Cheng smiled and said, "Yuan Hua, just say it."
Hua Tuo said: "Hua Tuo took his apprentices to work as podiatrists to treat the people's illnesses. When he found that the people were sick, he did not treat them. Not only was there a shortage of doctors, but there was also an extremely important reason. The people were too poor and could not afford to see a doctor.
As a result, if you get sick, you can only fight hard.
If I can't bear it any longer, I will go to all the trouble to get some medicine...
If this matter is not solved, the number of qualified doctors will increase, it will be really effective, and it can save many lives.
But there are still many poor people who cannot afford medical treatment."
The difficulty of seeing a doctor, the high cost of medical treatment, and the affordability of the disease are old and complicated diseases that have persisted throughout the world from ancient times to the present.
And the further back in time we go to ancient times, the more serious and difficult this problem becomes.
"It would be great if one day, medical treatment could be free, and no matter who was sick, they could be treated for free."
Hua Tuo said this with emotion.
After saying that, he shook his head again.
He himself felt that this was impossible.
Totally unachievable.
Liu Cheng also nodded his head: "This is not easy to achieve, and if it does come true, it probably won't last long.
If it were all free and implemented throughout the country, the state would have to pay for all the medicines and be fully responsible.
Doctors also need to support their families and live, and these also need to be arranged by the state.
The lives of those who collect herbs, as well as many others related to this industry, need to be taken care of by the state.
Over the course of a year, these will reach a terrifying number.
It will bring the country down.
Moreover, the human heart is never satisfied.
It's free at this time, but when the time comes, they will find the medicine given bad.
If you don’t have to pay for it yourself, you won’t value it. It’s bound to cause a huge waste of medicine.
Within a certain period of time, it is impossible to make everything free. We don’t have the ability, and doing so will also cause various problems..."
Hua Tuo was stunned when he heard this.
He didn't think about it that much.
When Liu Cheng said this at this time, he realized that what he yearned for was completely free, but when the time came, it would not be a happy situation for everyone...
Human heart!
The hardest thing to measure and the biggest variable is always the human heart!
"Is there no solution to this matter?"
Hua Tuo looked at Liu Cheng and asked with some reluctance and hope.
That's what he asked, without any hope of getting an answer.
Unexpectedly, the emperor's uncle opened his mouth and gave an affirmative answer: "Yes!"
Hua Tuo held his breath and looked at Liu Cheng.
"The most fundamental way is to stabilize the country and enable people to survive with their own hands.
Let the people have a stable life, let the people become rich and have money for medical treatment.
At the same time, the medical system must be improved.
For example, setting up specialized schools to teach medical skills and train a large number of qualified doctors.
Build hospitals so that people can have a fixed place to see a doctor.
Increase the planting area of medicinal materials...
This is an extremely systematic thing.
After these constructions are almost completed, new policies to benefit the people can be adopted.
I call this policy medical insurance.
The so-called medical insurance means that people pay a certain amount of money to a specialized state agency every year.
Buy yourself some insurance.
During the guarantee period, if people get sick and go to the hospital for medical treatment, they can get great discounts...
The medical insurance money collected will be used for the purchase of drugs...
Of course, just relying on the money is not enough.
When the time comes, the state will definitely need to allocate funds to subsidize the gap.
But it has gotten much better.
When a country is relatively prosperous and powerful, it is fully capable of functioning.
However, this matter is also more complicated and involves a series of things.
It's not easy to get it out.
But, as long as you keep working hard, you will eventually be able to complete it one day..."
…
The night fell, and the sky was filled with stars.
The night is silent.
Hua Tuo lay on the bed, unable to calm down for a long time.
Thinking back to all the things he heard after meeting Uncle Liu Huang today, Hua Tuo felt his heartbeat rise and fall.
Didn't expect that!
Really didn't expect that!
When he first looked for Uncle Liu Huang, he only heard about some of his dazzling achievements in teaching military doctors.
Want to go and see it.
Later, when I saw Guanzhong again, I wanted to see if Uncle Liu Huang could heal the world.
Hua Tuo no longer had any hope that Uncle Liu Huang could make other achievements beyond his medical skills.
After all, Uncle Liu Huang is different from a pure doctor like him.
Uncle Liu Huang has many other important things to do.
In the end, I didn't expect that Uncle Liu Huang would actually do things about medicine one after another that shocked and admired me greatly!
The medicine that can treat tuberculosis, the numbing powder that makes the whole body anesthetized, hire yourself as a doctor of medicine, let yourself teach medicine, and make medicine a hall of elegance!
There is also the medical insurance system that is extremely desirable and could only be thought up by an extremely talented brain...
Before meeting Liu Huangshu, Hua Tuo never thought that he could get so much from Liu Huangshu at once!
Although the emperor's uncle had clearly told himself that the medical insurance system was impossible to implement under the current circumstances, it at least gave Hua Tuo an excellent idea and pointed out the way and the direction.
.
Let him know that there is such a way, which can solve the problem of being unable to afford medical treatment that he is worried about to a large extent...
You must follow Uncle Liu Huang!
I must follow Uncle Liu Huang!
Hua Tuo, who was lying on the bed, thought about it for a while, couldn't help clenching his fists, and made up his mind extremely firmly.
The meeting with Liu Huangshu for only one day made Hua Tuo, who had been accustomed to wandering around in clouds and wild cranes in the past, make up his mind like this.
This is something Hua Tuo himself never thought of.
After realizing this, Hua Tuo didn't feel it was at all unexpected, he just felt that it should be so...
…
At a place in Mianzhu City, some people gathered around.
These people included Hua Tuo, Hua Tuo's two disciples, and Huang Zhong.
They are gathering here to do something big.
This thing is, people are watching Uncle Liu Huang here poisoning rats.
That's right, they are poisoning rats.
I saw our Uncle Liu Huang holding a clamp-like tool in one hand and pinching open the mouth of the mouse controlled on the ground.
The other hand, holding a small spoon, quickly scooped up some liquid and poured it into the mouse's mouth.
Then loosen the rat's legs.
As a result, before our uncle Liu Huang could make any more moves, the loosened mouse became more honest.
And, he soon lay on his side on the ground, his four legs still twitching.
After this convulsion lasted for a while, the mouse, which had been given some kind of potion by Uncle Liu Huang, completely calmed down.
Liu Cheng poked it with the clip in his hand, but it didn't move.
Too lazy to move.
It seems to be completely dead.
Hua Tuo, Huang Zhong and others on the side looked shocked.
Of course, I am not lamenting that the medicine our uncle Liu Huang holds in his hands is as powerful as a mouse.
It's because they know that this is a drug made by Uncle Liu Huang that is still in the research stage and used to treat tuberculosis!
If they hadn't known in advance that this was a drug developed to treat tuberculosis, they would have thought that this was rat poison that was extremely effective in killing rats.
Liu Cheng couldn't help but sniff when he looked at this rat that died so neatly and without any dignity.
"It's probably an allergy to the medicine.
Even with mature streptomycin, drug allergies can still occur."
Liu Cheng looked at the dead mouse and muttered to himself.
Then, ignoring the rat's frightened squeaking, he quickly used the clamp again and grabbed a lucky rat marked '9'.
He opened his mouth skillfully and poured the medicine inside.
This time, Liu Cheng poured not much medicine into it, only half a spoonful...
As a result, not long after, this lively mouse died...
"This one must also be allergic."
Liu Cheng sniffed and murmured to himself again.
Then he picked up a mouse and continued to give medicine to the mouse.
The mouse was trembling, struggling desperately, and kept shouting, as if cursing...
Half an hour later, where Liu Cheng and others were, there were ten rats lying in a row.
These mice are arranged from number 1 to 10, lying neatly.
Not one of the ten intact mice captured by Liu Cheng's men and used to test the medicine was dead.
The atmosphere seemed a little awkward for a while.
Liu Cheng whispered softly.
“This kind of medicine is extremely difficult to make and is full of variables.
Under the current circumstances, I have no extravagant expectation to produce the medicine in one go.
Through this experiment, we also gained a lot.
That's what we did before, and it worked.
At least it has undergone fundamental changes.
Through fermentation, precipitation, filtration, dilution, adsorption and other means,
Let those originally ordinary starches and bean cake powder, which are fermented and cultivated things, become something else.
This is excellent news."
Huang Zhong, Hua Tuo and others immediately nodded in agreement upon hearing this.
It means Uncle Liu Huang is right.
"My subordinate is too impatient. He always thinks that he can get things done in one go and use it to treat my child's illness..."
Huang Zhong said this to Liu Cheng.
Hua Tuo also spoke out...
After some processing, Liu Cheng began to sit here and think about all the things about this experimental pharmaceutical.
And watch the record for experimental pharmaceuticals.
At the same time, recall what you know to find problems.
"The container is not working. The container needs to be replaced."
After a long time, Liu Cheng said this.
When Hua Tuo heard this, he looked at those containers.
These containers are all made of exquisite celadon.
In Hua Tuo's view, it was already the pinnacle.
As a result, Uncle Liu Huang said that these utensils still did not meet the requirements.
If this doesn't work, what should I replace it with?
Hua Tuo really couldn't think of it.
Immediately he asked Liu Cheng: "I wonder what kind of utensils the emperor wants to replace?"
Liu Chengdao: "It's made of glass."
When Hua Tuo heard this, he was a little puzzled: "Uncle Emperor, what is glass?"
Liu Cheng thought for a moment and said, "It's Liuli."
"What?"
Hua Tuo was shocked when he heard this.
You actually need to use colored glaze?!
He naturally knew that some Hu merchants from the Western Regions would bring some colored glaze with them.
When he was treating an illness with a dignitary, he saw a glass product in his home. It was crystal clear and extremely beautiful.
Of course, the price is also extremely amazing.
It can be said to be the luxury among luxury goods.
He turned around and looked at the numerous bottles and jars made of celadon.
How much would it cost to replace all these things with glass ones?
Moreover, glazed products are rare. When Emperor Shu made medicine, he had high requirements for the utensils, and the shapes also needed to meet the requirements.
In this case, it will be even more difficult to correct.
I'm afraid this set of equipment is extremely difficult to assemble.
Anyway, Hua Tuo himself didn’t dare to think about it.
Only people like the Emperor's uncle dare to use glass utensils.
"How much does this cost!"
Hua Tuo sighed.
Liu Cheng recalled in his mind what he knew about sand, the raw material for making glass, and its manufacturing methods, and then he said: "It shouldn't cost much."
The raw material is just sand, which is not valuable. The key is to heat it until it melts, which is more troublesome when made into glassware.
But as long as we train skilled craftsmen, excluding labor, factory buildings, etc., the rest can be said to not cost much.
Hua Tuo, who was not on the same channel as Liu Cheng at all, couldn't help but give Liu Cheng a thumbs up after hearing this.
This is a new posture he learned when he came to Guanzhong and walked out of Guanzhong.
All glassware is used, and it must meet the requirements. Uncle Liu Huang actually said that it would not cost much?
This is indeed rich and powerful!
…
In the evening, Huang Zhong hurried all the way to Liu Cheng's place.
He was holding a large package in his hand.
After seeing Liu Cheng, he put down the big package and opened it.
There was money, brocade, some gold, a sword, and some jewelry that looked old.
"Uncle Huang, Huang Zhong only has these valuable things. Give them to Uncle Huang first.
From now on, Huang Zhong's life belongs to the emperor's uncle.
From Huang Zhong's future salary, he only kept enough to live on, and the rest was given to the emperor's uncle.
All the rewards obtained in the battle were given to the emperor's uncle.
Although he knows that these are far from the price of Liuli, Huang Zhong only has so much ability now..."
When Liu Cheng heard Huang Zhong's words, he realized why Huang Zhong had brought so many things over.
Immediately he tied the package, looked at Huang Zhong and cursed with a smile: "Han Sheng, what are you doing?
It’s just a few glazed products, not worth much, I can still afford it, you don’t need Huang Zhong to give up all your money!”
Is colored glaze worthless?
Huang Zhong naturally didn't believe it.
Liu Cheng sighed secretly, it was really difficult for him.
