The Ming Dynasty started with saving the eldest grandson

Chapter 25: Clear One’s Mind

Chen Jingke knew why he asked this question. This kind of treatment was a bit heavy-handed.

But eating poop can cure intestinal flora imbalance, which is not his nonsense, but has been scientifically verified.

People who smear Chinese medicine often use things like child urine and philtrum to attack Chinese medicine. It is nonsense that eating feces and urine can cure diseases.

You tell them how many cases there are and what experimental data supports it.

Let me just ask, have your papers been published in a certain foreign journal?
No?

Haha, they are just a bunch of arrogant people using fake data to fool people.

Suddenly one day a laboratory in the United States proved that eating feces can indeed cure diseases.

Intestinal flora imbalance is caused by a large number of certain bacteria being killed and a large number of certain bacteria multiplying.

Normal people's feces contain complete intestinal flora.Giving it to the patient can replenish the missing part.

Americans have thought of two treatment options, one is to make stool filtrate for enema, and the other is to put stool directly into capsules for patients to eat.

Here comes the funny thing. Traditional Chinese medicine is harmful to people when they eat shit. Experimental data and clinical data are sprayed as fake.

Americans feed people shit in order to cure illnesses and save lives, and their papers are published in so-called authoritative magazines.

The so-called authoritative magazine is indeed authoritative enough.

Then... do you think the black Chinese medicine practitioners will be slapped in the face?
No, they pretended not to see it and continued to watch from other places.

Another point is that many people claim that Chinese medicine is conservative and refuses to change itself.

However, the current situation is that some groups are shouting at traditional Chinese medicine to stick to the old rules, and then take away all the achievements of the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine.

For example, artemisinin. During the Jin Dynasty, our ancestors began to use artemisinin to treat malaria.

Moreover, the ancients also discovered that Artemisia annua would lose its efficacy when exposed to high temperatures, and they specifically emphasized that it must be kneaded into juice to be taken in order to be effective.

In the [-]th century, scientists used modern technology to extract artemisinin, which has nothing to do with traditional Chinese medicine.

There are also people who are calling for useless medicine to test medicines, but they ignore the fact that all the medicines in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia have been scientifically verified.

So who is stopping the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine?Is it the practitioners themselves, or some people with ulterior motives?

In the past life, the power of certain groups was too strong, and Chen Jingke was weak and unable to do anything.

Traveling to the Ming Dynasty, what he wanted to do most was to continue the path forward that Chinese medicine had been artificially cut off from.

First publish a book on traditional Chinese medicine, in which he will point out some shortcomings of traditional Chinese medicine and then 'predict' the way forward.

Then in the second medical book, these problems were solved and the modern medical system was introduced.

Of course, this was just his previous plan. At that time, he was just lying down and had no other big ambitions.

Things are different now. Now that I have entered the political pit, I have to do more.

Big voyage, right?Is it a global fight for hegemony?Civilized war?Is it a race war?

Just wait, the flag of Ming Dynasty will be planted in every corner of the earth, and everyone will sing the name of China.

But Chen Jingke knew very well that Zhu Yuanzhang had no interest in going out.

It has to be said that his background made him successful but also limited him.

Global hegemon and spreader of civilization?
Is a bowl of rice worth it?
So he listed fifteen countries that would not be conquered; so he had no interest in opening up the Western Regions and rebuilding the Silk Road.

Therefore, when there were Japanese pirates on the coast, he did not form a navy to solve the problem at its source. Instead, he moved the coastal people inward and ordered that no one be allowed to go to the sea.

And his thoughts also represent the thoughts of most Confucian scholars of this era.

Kingdom of heaven.

Except for China, it is all barbarian and wasteland, and taking it away only wastes people's money and energy.

To mention global hegemony in front of Zhu Yuanzhang is to seek death.

Zhu Biao was deeply influenced by Zhu Yuanzhang and probably had little interest in this aspect. The only one he could count on was Zhu Xiongying.

Before, Chen Jingke was still thinking about how to train him, but now he gradually has some ideas.Tell him historical stories, mainly about the border expansion ideas of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty and Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty.

Then tell him about the development of major foreign forces, such as Rome, Persia, Kushan, Arabia and other empires, such as Alexander's Eastern Expedition.

There is no need to deliberately instill any big principles, it is enough to tell him these stories and broaden his horizons.

Once he becomes curious about the outside world, many things will fall into place.

Returning to the palace, Zhu Biao stopped him and asked, "Mr. Ye just wanted to accept you as his disciple, why did you refuse?"

Chen Jingke knew that he could not hide this from others, so he confessed: "Being a disciple of Mr. Ye will indeed be of great help to my career."

“However, while enjoying the convenience, we must also be subject to its constraints, otherwise we will suffer backlash.”

"The boy feels that Mr. Ye's restraint on me is far greater than his help to me, so he rejected his proposal."

arrogant.

This was Zhu Biao's first thought after hearing these words.

But when I think about it carefully, I have to admit that it makes sense.

Chen Jingke has no shortage of opportunities to stand out. As long as he doesn't make mistakes, he can be a county magistrate at the age of 30 or [-].

As long as you make some achievements, you will be promoted very quickly, and it is very likely that you will enter the central government at the age of 50.

What he lacks is just connections, to put it bluntly, helpers.

Ye Dui is indeed talented and has a wide network of contacts, which can make up for this shortcoming of his.

However, don't forget his origin. He is from Zhejiang, and most of his students are from Jiangsu and Zhejiang.

Even he himself can be regarded as the mainstay of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang series.

Before, he lived in seclusion among the people and did not involve himself in the court. No one cared about his status.

Now that he has entered the court as Taisun's tutor, this status has become very sensitive.

Since the founding of the Hongwu Dynasty, the Huaixi faction and the Jiangsu and Zhejiang factions have been fighting. The two factions can be said to be incompatible with each other.

In the face of party strife, Ye Dui could hardly stay out of it. If Chen Jingke became a disciple, he would definitely be dragged into this vortex.

At that time, whether the connections provided by Ye Dui will be a blessing or a curse for Chen Jingke will be questioned.

Moreover, Chen Jingke also has an identity, Queen Ma's exclusive doctor.

If he had an additional identity from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang factions, would Zhu Yuanzhang still dare to trust him so much?

Having said that, Zhu Yuanzhang agreed to him being his grandson's companion, wasn't it because he had an innocent family background and no background.

Thinking of this, Zhu Biao showed appreciation: "Yes, you are smarter than I thought."

"I hope you will not forget what you want today and be a pure person."

Chen Jingke said seriously: "Your Highness, don't worry, I am a man who is so confident that he is arrogant."

"Either you gather a group of like-minded people to practice your ideals, or you just remain a nobody."

"I will never betray my ideals and become a knife in the hands of others."

Zhu Biao was not angry, but said with interest: "Oh, I wonder what your ideals are?"

Chen Jingke said seriously: "Cultivate yourself, manage your family, govern your country, and bring peace to the world."

Zhu Biao was startled for a moment, and then laughed: "Haha, good, good, good, what a sentence to cultivate one's morality, manage one's family, govern the country, and bring peace to the world."

"I'm just waiting to see how you realize your ideals."

Chen Jingke cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness, please wait and see."

Zhu Xiongying next to him scratched his head in confusion, what were his father and Chen Shidu talking about.

I understand every word they say, but why do I always feel like I don’t understand them at all.
