Brothers and sisters Liu Wei and Liu Xin have been living in Jianxinzhai since the conflict between Gao Qingshi and Ling Yunyi that day.
The highly pragmatic Jianxinzhai Villa has been expanded on a large scale before. Now the Liu brothers and sisters do not live in Shouxin Building, the new main building of Jianxinzhai, but in an exquisite guest house by the Jingcui Lake southeast of the original Jianxinzhai. hospital.
In the previous expansion of Jianxinzhai, due to Biyun Temple in the north and Xiangshan Temple in the south, the expansion in the north-south direction was relatively limited. Therefore, Gao Pragmatic basically used Jianxinzhai and Spectacle Lake as the northern boundary to the east and south. Expansion. In terms of the scope of future generations, it will probably reach Yuhua Villa in the west, Xiangshan Hotel and Cuiwei Pavilion in the south, and the eastward expansion will be even larger, all the way to the Xiangshan Police Station area.
The current layout of Jianxinzhai Villa is with mountain views and gardens to the west, and the school and Dingying to the east. Adding up the east and west sides, it covers an area of more than 1,400 acres.
Needless to say, there are mountain views and gardens. There are not many famous gardens among the rich and powerful families these days. They are embarrassed to talk to others. Although Gao Pragmatic does not intend to compare with the Wei Guogong Mansion in Nanjing, it is still close to the capital. He needed to maintain a facade, so he began to expand Jianshinzhai a few years ago, especially the west side, which he used as a garden.
The eastern part is at the foot of the mountain. The advantage of the foot of the mountain is that it is flat, so it is used to build schools and build "barracks." Of course, the barracks cannot really be called barracks. They can only be servants' dormitories plus a martial arts field, weapons depot, etc. This needs no introduction. , in short, based on the scale of the building alone, more than three thousand guards can be permanently stationed here. If it is an emergency, it is not a problem to house five or six thousand.
Of course, the actual number of people stationed here by Gao Jingjing is only 500 at most. No matter how many more people are there, he is afraid of causing unnecessary trouble. After all, this is the outskirts of the capital, and it is definitely not as good as the military force he has at the three major factories in Kaiping. Banker size.
Five hundred people will be no problem. Among the top nobles in Beijing, which one can't recruit more than five hundred servants at any time? There is no shortage of Gao Pragmatic's family - not to mention that even if he does not have an official position at the moment, in the eyes of the world, It must have been a civil service system. The characteristic of the Ming Dynasty was that civil servants were generally not suspected of evil intentions.
The barracks are not worth mentioning, but the school is worth mentioning. Although it was given the vulgar name of "Jinghua Craftsman School" by Gao Jingshi, this school was actually built by Gao Jingshi very carefully, and the ideas were similar to those of later generations. college town.
There are five major categories: mathematics, mining, iron smelting, carpentry, and medicine. Except for mathematics, which seems to be more theoretical, the other four are typical practical subjects. Even mathematics is actually taught in a large part of the curriculum. Needless to say, practical mathematics, business accounting and the like, math application problems that often give people a headache in later generations are also routine operations.
In addition to the teaching area, each category also has a practice area. This is actually the meaning of the question. Otherwise, how can we teach woodworking? We can't just talk without practicing.
However, the most interesting practice area is medicine, because the medical practice area is divided into two areas. A medicine hall was built near the school area, and its name was directly copied from Tong Ren Tang. The chief physician of this hall was last year. Li Shizhen, who had just finished writing "Compendium of Materia Medica", was also the head of the medical department of Jinghua Craftsman School.
Those near the school district specialize in treating serious illnesses, and for internships with minor illnesses, they have to go to the capital. Gao pragmatically opened three "Jinghua Tongrentang" in the capital, one in the east and west of Beicheng, and one in Nancheng. They not only sell medicine but also treat diseases, and also take care of students.
Internship at the clinic. Although traditional Chinese medicine clinics have always relied on seniority to pass down the practice, Tongrentang has gradually gained fame because of Li Shizhen's leadership and the golden name of "Jinghua".
Brother and sister Liu Wei came down from the guest house by Jingcui Lake today to visit the Medical Department of Jinghua Craftsman School.
"The so-called causes of disease are divided into two categories: yin and yang in the "Huangdi Neijing". Those born in yang get wind, rain, cold and heat; those born in yin get food, living, yin and yang, joy and anger. Zhang Zhongjing in the Han Dynasty wrote in "Jin"
In "Gui Yao Lue", the causes are divided into three categories: the meridians are affected by evil entering the internal organs, which is caused internally; the nine orifices of the limbs, where the blood vessels are passed down, are blocked and caused by the external skin; there are also chambers, golden blades, insects and beasts
Injury. Chen Wuze, a famous doctor in the Song Dynasty, proposed another three-cause theory: external cause, internal cause, and no internal cause.
I divide the causes into four categories. The first one is external causes: including six evils, wind, cold, heat, dampness, dryness, fire, and malaria. The second one is internal injuries: including seven emotions, joy, anger, worry, sadness, fear, and improper diet.
Loss of work and rest. The third are secondary causes: including phlegm, blood stasis, and stones. The four other causes are: trauma, parasitism, fetal transmission, various poisons, and medical failure."
The person teaching on the stage was none other than Li Shizhen, who became famous because of "Compendium of Materia Medica". His courtesy name was Dongbi and his nickname was Binhu. He was from Qizhou, Hubei. He was a scholar in the Jiajing decade. Because he failed three provincial examinations, he was determined to succeed his father.
career, exploring medicine. He began to compile the "Compendium of Materia Medica" in the 31st year of Jiajing, and completed the compilation of "Compendium of Materia Medica" in the sixth year of Wanli (the time of compilation is controversial, this book is based on the sixth year of Wanli). The whole book has about 2 million words.
, 52 volumes, contains 1892 kinds of medicines, 374 new kinds of medicines, and more than 1000 pictures. It can be called an unprecedented masterpiece of traditional Chinese medicine.
Moreover, Li Shizhen was by no means only knowledgeable about medicine. In addition to his masterpiece "Compendium of Materia Medica", he also wrote ten other works such as "A Study of the Eight Meridians of Qijing", "Binhu Pulsology", and "Theory of the Five Internal Organs". He is indeed a master of medicine.
Everyone.
Brother Liu and his sister carefully explored outside and found that there were about seventy or eighty students in Li Shizhen's class. They were all listening and taking notes. However, their records were very strange. They were not using brushes, but a kind of black brush.
of tubular matter.
Both the Liu brothers were good at shooting, and their eyesight was naturally very good. Looking at it carefully, they found that this object seemed to be somewhat similar to charcoal. In fact, what these students were holding was the charcoal pencil "invented" by Gao Jingshi, which Gao Jingshi originally gave to Qi Jiguang.
The weapon atlas was also drawn with charcoal - Gao Pragmatic had only learned some rough sketching in an interest class in elementary school, so it would be a bit embarrassing for him to draw with a brush.
Liu Wei and Liu Xin didn't understand much about the courses in the Department of Traditional Chinese Medicine, but they could see from the huge and neat school building that Gao Pragmatic paid much more attention to medicine than they imagined.
"Xin'er, what do you think?" Liu Wei asked.
Liu Xin thought about it and said: "Master Gao spent so much effort to build such a large school and recruited famous doctors from all over the world to come to study and teach with each other. I always feel that he is definitely not just doing it for Tong Ren Tang's business."
Liu Wei waved his hand and said: "What he is doing is not important. What I want to ask is, can we really make a lot of money if our Baobao Life Renewal is in his hands? Although his Tongrentang is already a small business in the capital.
It’s famous, but after all, there are only three shops in total, how many medicines can be sold in a year?”
"Brother is worried about this?" Liu Xin shook his head and said with a smile: "I guess... Mr. Gao probably doesn't pay much attention to the private market for Baibao Xuanming Powder. His focus should be on the border army.
