The "Peacock Flying Southeast" incident came to an end with the "self-action" of Gao Ming, Qin Gu and others. Although their specific punishments have yet to be heard by the Ministry of Punishment, it has no impact on the overall situation.
The final result is undoubtedly Bai Tu's victory...
Not only was Lujiang County happy to welcome the administration, but Bai Tu was still "arrogant" in the face of feudal etiquette. At the same time, Kong Rong's theory of "benevolent people love others" also spread among the people.
Wang Lang's son, Wang Su, has also begun to emerge as a new generation of Confucian classics masters...
After this incident, Jiao Qing was promoted to the new chief secretary of the Lujiang Prefecture. In view of the fact that the Lujiang Prefect, Lu Kang, had not actually taken office, Jiao Qing's power was quite large.
Of course, Jiao Qing was just a small official before, and even if he was a bit smart, he might not be able to adapt to this position all of a sudden.
But it doesn't matter, Zhou Yu hasn't left yet. During this period, not only can Jiao Qing ask him for advice, but for the time being, Zhou Yu will be in charge of Lujiang's military affairs.
The Gao family, the Jiao family, and Bai Tu didn't say anything to the Ministry of Punishment. They just handled the case according to the law...
Even if the Xu family was treated like this before, the crimes committed by these people are far less serious than Xu Gong's.
Although many people believed that the punishment given to Xu was too light, and even Xu Gong's widow and young son were not implicated except for the eldest son who was actually involved... But Bai Tu did not regret this decision.
Not long ago, Bai Tu was assassinated and was chased by gangsters to the banks of the Pihe River. Several unfriendly archers helped cover his retreat to the other side.
As for the identities of those people, Bai Tu still doesn't know. Obviously they have no intention of defecting, but... Bai Tu has already made some guesses.
Because on those arrows that "drove" him across the river, Catching Wind Guard found clues - the official shape, arrows specially loaded for the armored bow.
Those sharpshooters not only have excellent archery skills, but they are also very elusive when shooting arrows. They seem to be good at assassination, so they do not use pure laser arrows.
This type of Han army standard arrow has not been used in Jiangdong for a long time. The chariot and cavalry generals all use new technology, and these are old models before the Yellow Turban Rebellion and are rare.
But not long ago, a large number of these bows and arrows were discovered in Jiangdong - in the Xu family's warehouse, so they were charged with hiding weapons!
Therefore, Bai Tu suspected that those people were Xu Gong's disciples.
This can also explain why they discovered the whereabouts of Yuan's assassin in advance - it was probably the latter who took the initiative to contact them for cooperation!
However, due to various reasons, Xu Gong's retainers not only failed to cooperate with them, but even helped Bai Tu.
Of course, the other party obviously didn't like Bai Tu either, so he gave Bai Tu a "tangled" feeling before.
On the one hand, he risked his life to help Bai Tu, but on the other hand... not only did he have no intention of defecting, he even showed no respect for Bai Tu.
After checking this, Bai Tu also told Feng Chao Wei to stop. After he "helped others", he insisted on not leaving his name, so there was no need for Bai Tu to chase after him...
By this time, Bai Tu had returned to Shouchun, and malaria had been completely controlled. No new patients had appeared for more than ten days in a row, and all other patients had recovered... or died.
The malaria that swept through half of Jiujiang County ultimately killed only dozens of people, and most of them were before the emergence of artemisia annua. This was undoubtedly a miracle in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Bai Tu was lobbying Zhang Zhongjing personally at this time...
Originally, after the malaria was under control, Zhang Zhongjing was planning to leave and continue to travel around the world to help the world. However, Bai Tu kindly invited Zhang Zhongjing to stay in the Cheqi General's Mansion... To be precise, he founded the medical school in the Cheqi General's Mansion.
hospital.
"Medical College? Is it an official office under the General's Mansion? Well... thank you Mr. Bai for his kindness, but I am still better at treating people." Zhang Zhongjing thought that Bai Tu wanted him to be the head doctor.
For ordinary doctors, being able to serve as an official is naturally more promising than practicing medicine and treating diseases, but... Zhang Zhongjing is a real doctor who doesn't even care about his official position as a prefect, and just quits his official position to practice medicine!
"It's not a government office, but I want to open a school to train doctors specifically," Bai Tu said.
"School? How many people are there? If Mr. Bai has any good ideas, he can introduce them to me and travel with me. After a few years, he will come back to serve after he has completed his studies... This is different from reading and writing. If it is like a private school,
There are often more than a dozen or dozens of people, and I am afraid that I am not able to handle them." Zhang Zhongjing said.
This is why Mr. Zhang had a very good impression of Baitu. Otherwise, how could ordinary princes receive such treatment?
But it was Mr. Zhang who made the mistake of thinking that Bai Tu just wanted to find a private doctor, and he knew that Zhang Zhongjing would definitely not stay, so he did this.
"No, Mr. Zhang misunderstood me... It's not a dozen or dozens of people. I hope that in the future, the medical school will be able to produce hundreds, thousands, or even thousands of doctors!" Bai Tu said.
Zhang Zhongjing was stunned when he heard this. Before he could say anything, Bai Tu added: "I have checked the people's livelihood information in various cities and towns. In the prosperous period of the Han Dynasty, the average life span of the people was forty-five years old.
By the age of fifty..."
The average life span of the Han Dynasty was actually the highest in the "broad" ancient category, even surpassing that of the Ming Dynasty and surpassing "ancient times".
The main reason is that the material is rich, the nutrition is up to date, and the medical field is greatly developed. Especially in the dynasties of the Western Han Dynasty when cultivation was popular, ordinary people could also eat meat every now and then. The per capita nutritional level was high, which was unmatched by other feudal dynasties.
Regardless of average lifespan or average height, the Han Dynasty can be said to be outstanding, so it was only in the Western Han Dynasty that there was a saying that "one Han is the five barbarians" - the Han people at that time were much stronger than the barbarians, and they were all-rounder from IQ to physical fitness to equipment.
Directional crushing...
Next came the Ming Dynasty, and then the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
Probably the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty was too short, and... the explosion of population also limited the growth of life span in terms of nutrition. After the Ming Dynasty, a large number of high-yielding crops came in, causing the average life span to increase again.
"However, from the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the present, we are less than forty years old... In addition to the displacement of people due to the turmoil and the lack of food due to famine, the decline in medical standards and the decrease in doctors are also important factors." Bai Tu said with emotion.
.
If you don’t have enough to eat, it will naturally be more difficult to seek medical treatment.
"Mr. Bai has such a loving heart and is worthy of being called a 'benevolent man'. Zhang is naturally willing to do his part! But... Mr. Bai may have thought of this matter simply. With my ability, it will take seven or eight years to bring him out."
Second and third apprentices, hundreds, thousands, thousands... I'm afraid the manpower will be limited." Zhang Zhongjing said regretfully.
"No, it is precisely because of this that I want to set up a medical school. From the county school, I will select suitable people as students, and then use other doctors as teachers to teach at every level... Mr. Zhang does not need to do everything personally, as long as
Just teach other teachers well, write good teaching materials, and then be responsible for teaching the future doctors of the medical school." Bai Tu blushed slightly.
This is already a job for several people!
Sure enough, Zhang Zhongjing also hesitated after hearing Bai Tu's words. However, Mr. Zhang's worry was obviously different from Bai Tu's. It was not that the burden was too heavy, but...
"If this is the case, how to ensure that students succeed in their studies? Medical skills are different from other skills. If you are not good at studying, it is better not to study at all." Zhang Zhongjing said.
As a famous doctor at that time, what Mr. Zhang hated most was people without medical ethics, followed by quack doctors who misled people.
"On this point, I have some different opinions... It is rare to meet someone with profound medical knowledge and comprehensive knowledge like Mr. Zhang in a hundred years. In this case, why not classify diseases, trauma, heart and lung damage, poisoning, octogenarian disease...
…Wait a minute and don’t teach it to different people?” Bai Tu asked in return.
"If that's the case, wouldn't it be bad if you meet a patient you don't understand?" Zhang Zhongjing asked worriedly.
"In fact, after the medical students complete their studies, I plan to set up county hospitals in each county, with dozens of doctors, each specializing in their own specialty, and there will be some traveling doctors in the villages who can do some basic treatment.
Minor headaches and brain fever will be cured, and those with serious illness can go to the county hospital or even a larger county hospital," Bai Tu said.
In contrast, today's medical clinics, even if they have more than one doctor, usually only have two or three apprentices and descendants, and after the apprentices have completed their studies, they will usually set up their own business.
After all...the desire to monopolize knowledge not only exists in the narrow sense of "knowledge", but why doesn't it also apply to doctors?
However, Zhang Zhongjing has no worries in this regard. If there is a suitable candidate, he would like to learn as many people as possible, but before... Zhang Zhongjing was influenced by "common sense" and believed that a doctor must be "all-powerful".
Therefore, no suitable candidate has been found.
"In this case, will medical students also want to be officials?" Zhang Zhongjing still had concerns.
"Hospitals are not ordinary government offices. Their doctors are supported by the government, but they generally do not need to be granted official positions, and they do not need to care about government affairs other than medical treatment." Bai Tu knew what Mr. Zhang was worried about.
The idea that excellence in learning leads to officialdom has been popular for hundreds of years along with the Confucian philosophy of governing the country by scholars, and has become deeply ingrained.
But in Zhang Zhongjing's opinion, it would be too wasteful to spend so much effort training a doctor if he wanted to become an official.
Bai Tu later also told Zhang Zhongjing about the idea of a field doctor system - a certain proportion of medical soldiers should be equipped in the army. At the same time, in large-scale battles, temporary field hospitals can be set up to treat friendly troops first... When resources permit,
It can also heal captured enemy soldiers!
In the short term, all this is money wasted, but Bai Tu does not think this is pure "charity".
How much benefit can a forty-year-old farmer live for ten more years?
How much combat effectiveness can a thirty-year-old veteran serve for five more years?
"It's difficult." Zhang Zhongjing finally said.
"It is indeed difficult." Bai Tu nodded.
Bai Tu no longer worried about the success of persuading Zhang Zhongjing, because... when Zhang Zhongjing said "it's difficult", his expression was firm.
Sure enough, Zhang Zhongjing was heard to say later: "If the general does not change his mind, I am willing to forge ahead with the general."
Seeing that Zhang Zhongjing had been persuaded, Bai Tu couldn't help but feel happy. He did have a lot of medical thesis materials here, but... Bai Tu himself couldn't understand it, and Pang Tong was not suitable to add to the burden.
Zhang Zhongjing is willing to join, and the medical school that has been under preparation for a long time can finally get on the right track.
Moreover, Zhang Zhongjing not only represents himself, he has also made it clear to Bai Tu that he will try to recall several of his early students, as well as some old friends who he considers to be famous doctors, to participate in the grand event!
