The Ming Dynasty started with saving the eldest grandson

Chapter 318 Luoxia Academy
The advice given by Chen Jingke was naturally not his original work, but was based on a famous medical book from his previous life, "The Barefoot Doctor's Manual."

There is no need to elaborate on the high status of this book in China.

People in the world call it one of the three essential sacred books for time travellers.

As a doctor, Chen Jingke naturally knows this book, or this medical book is one of the must-read documents.

It is unrealistic for him to copy this medical book now, but there is still no problem in coming up with ideas and letting famous doctors of this era write it.

Moreover, this book can not only be used as a teaching material, but also provide an overview of the national medical system.

As mentioned before, China is so vast that every place has its own unique medicinal materials.

This leads to different understandings of the same disease in different places, and there are also huge differences in treatment methods.

Coupled with the lack of self-preservation, the medical system is in chaos, which is very detrimental to the development of medicine.

"The Barefoot Doctor's Handbook" summarizes and organizes common diseases, which is actually a review of the medical system.

In the past, Chen Jingke wanted to do it himself, but as he got deeper and deeper into the political field, he no longer had the energy.

Since Zhu Ru discovered this problem, it was just left to him to do it.

and……

After thinking for a while, Chen Jingke finally made up his mind and took down a stack of manuscripts nearly one meter thick from the bookshelf.

"You know what this is, right?"

Zhu Rui seemed to have a premonition of something. He stood up from the chair and said carefully:

"This should be the manuscript of the teacher's "Compendium of Materia Medica"."

Chen Jingke carefully brushed off the dust and said:

"Yeah, it's all gathering dust. I'm afraid this dream will never come true in this lifetime."

Zhu Ru comforted him: "Teacher, why should you be discouraged? There is still a long time. If you take a little time every day, I believe you will be able to complete it one day."

Chen Jingke shook his head and said: "It's impossible. It will take a lifetime to compile this book with the strength of one person."

"I am stuck in government affairs every day and have no time or energy to study anything else."

Zhu Xi naturally knew this truth and didn't know how to persuade him for a while.

Chen Jingke didn't need his persuasion. After sighing, he looked at him and said:
"Master, I have something to do and I will do my best. Are you willing to help me fulfill this wish?"

"This..." Zhu Ru hesitated.

It's not that he doesn't want to, it's that he doesn't have time.

Surgery needs to be studied, books on edible plants written, books on diagnosis and treatment of common diseases, and even a medical school...

Lack of separation.

But when he thought of Chen Jingke's selfless teaching of medical skills, he really couldn't refuse, so he could only bite the bullet and said:
"Okay, I won't let the teacher down, but...it may take some time to compile it."

Chen Jingke smiled and said, "You misunderstood. I'm not asking you to write it yourself, but to find someone to write it."

Zhu Rui was stunned for a moment and said: "Looking for someone to write it? You can do it yourself, why..."

Chen Jingke explained: "You should know about the arithmetic research class, right? It is very difficult to promote medicine by yourself."

“We have to attract more talents to join.”

"Writing medical books is a good opportunity to gather relevant talents."

After all, not everyone has the ability to write a medical book of their own.

It is the best choice to participate in the compilation of other people's medical books and have a name.

"As long as we can bring people together, there are many ways to let them use their best medical skills to communicate."

"With the help of the power of the group, medical books can be written, medicine can be better studied, and new medical techniques can be promoted."

"If you want to establish a medical school, you can choose sir from among these people."

Zhu Ji naturally knew about the arithmetic research class, or in other words, everyone who paid attention to Chen Jingke knew about it.

I also know how big a role it played in Chen Jingke's plan.

Many people have tried to copy this model, but none have succeeded.

Investigating the reason, the fundamental reason why the arithmetic research class can be established is the epoch-making arithmetic knowledge brought out by Chen Jingke.

Participate and surely leave your name in the history books.

If you can innovate in this new knowledge system, you will have the opportunity to be individually signed.

Anyone who has some pursuit will naturally flock to it.

But in this era, how many people can come up with this kind of knowledge?
Even if someone mastered such epoch-making knowledge, he would definitely study it, write a biography, and then recruit many disciples to become a master.

Why give credit to others?
Therefore, those so-called research classes eventually turned into traditional literary associations.

There is no cohesion to speak of.

Zhu Ju possesses the most advanced surgical knowledge and is willing to teach it to others, so he has the conditions to establish a research class.

However, surgery is a completely independent branch and has a parallel relationship with traditional medical skills.

In other words, no matter how good a doctor you were before, you will be an apprentice after joining the surgical class and you have to start from scratch.

At most, the starting point is a little higher than others.

How many doctors are willing to give up their previous medical skills to study surgery?
This alone determines that the size of the surgical class will not be very large.

Not much, at least in the short term.

Chen Jingke's version of "Compendium of Materia Medica" is different. It is a comprehensive summary of traditional medical techniques.

All traditional doctors can join in.

Moreover, Chen Jingke has already formulated the ideas and framework of this book.

They only need to fill in the content according to the framework.

Plus that medical book that summarizes common cases...

As long as you participate, you can also leave your name in the history books.

Therefore, whenever there is news that Chen Jingke wants to organize people to write medical books, doctors from all over the world will definitely respond.

With enough manpower, Zhu Rui's various plans have the opportunity to be implemented.

After thinking about this, Zhu Xi was moved and bowed deeply:

"Thank you teacher, I will not let you down."

Seeing that he understood what he meant, Chen Jingke was very pleased and said:

"What are you doing with your family like that? Besides, you are helping me fulfill my wish."
-
Zhu Yuanzhang and Empress Ma were extremely happy to know what their son was going to do next.

Empress Ma said repeatedly: "It is really the most correct choice for Lao Wu to become Jing Ke's disciple."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and said: "Lao Wu is also doing his best, the grandmaster of surgery, hehe..."

"Our Zhu family not only produces generals and scholars, but also doctors, and they are all the best."

Queen Ma glanced at him sideways and said, "Who said that Lao Wu was idle and useless?"

Zhu Yuanzhang naturally did not want to take the blame and argued: "Before he became a disciple of Chen Jingke, he was really idle."

Queen Ma suppressed her laughter and said, "Don't quibble, just tell me whether you thought so at the beginning."

Zhu Yuanzhang understood that everything he said was wrong, so he immediately changed the subject:
"Where do you think the address of this medical school should be?"

Queen Ma smiled heartily and followed his words and said:
"Of course it is placed next to Luoxia Academy. It is a large piece of land in Jingke Circle. Isn't that the purpose?"

Zhu Yuanzhang asked doubtfully: "What is the purpose?" Empress Ma said speechlessly: "He wants to build a Jixia Academy there... No, it is the Luoxia Academy belonging to the Ming Dynasty."

Zhu Yuanzhang said in disbelief: "Just the two or three kittens from Luoxia Academy?"

Queen Ma rolled her eyes at him and said, "Those two or three kittens are seeds, the seeds of science. Now there is another medical school."

"As soon as he opens his mouth, Li Baishi will immediately establish a law school there."

Zhu Yuanzhang's thoughts were shaken, but he still said doubtfully:
"Confucianism is the knowledge that governs the world. If he wants to establish a school, he can't exclude Confucianism, right?"

"Given his relationship with Confucianism, it would be difficult to find a great Confucian to establish an academy there, right?"

Queen Ma said: "Have you forgotten Fang Xiaoru? Now he is the great literary master of the Joseon Kingdom."

After the establishment of the Korean Kingdom, Fang Xiaoru voluntarily stayed in order to educate the local people.

Later, a group of local scholars were convened to compile a history of Liaodong, during which they naturally began to promote their own knowledge.

It is his own knowledge, not Neo-Confucianism.

Because he received the support of the imperial court, his knowledge was on par with Neo-Confucianism and became a prominent school in the Joseon Kingdom.

And he naturally became the grand master who founded the sect.

The key people to learn his knowledge are basically young people.

Those who still adhere to Neo-Confucianism are basically the older generation, and their ideas have been stereotyped and difficult to change.

This also means that in the near future, Fangxue will inevitably replace Neo-Confucianism and become the only prominent school in the Joseon Kingdom.

And everyone knows that Fang Xiaoru is definitely not someone who lives in a corner, and will definitely return to the Ming Dynasty to promote his knowledge in the future.

What's the best way to promote your knowledge?
First, establish an academy and recruit disciples to teach knowledge.

Second, lobby the emperor and gain support from the imperial power.

Chen Jingke's Luoxia Academy is located to the west of Luoyang City, on the land between the two Yiluo Rivers.

Both water and land routes can lead directly to Luoyang City, which is very convenient.

Not only can you avoid the hustle and bustle of Luoyang City, but you can also enjoy the convenience brought by Gyeonggi.

The key is to be close to Chen Jingke, through whom he can reach the emperor and other core levels of power.

Moreover, Fang Xiaoru's thoughts were originally shaped by his influence, so he could naturally get help from him.

With Chen Jingke's influence on the emperor, prince, and grandson, persuading him was basically equivalent to convincing the emperor, grandson, and grandson.

So after careful calculation, this is really the most suitable place for Fang Xiaoru to open an academy.

And with Fang Xiaoru, the shortcomings of Luoxia Academy have been made up for.

After thinking about all this, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but shook his head and sighed:
"This kid...has calculated too far."

Empress Ma smiled and said, "You were fooled by him and always felt that everything was planned by him, but there are no such smart people in the world."

"If you think about it carefully, he has been adjusting his plans."

Zhu Yuanzhang looked confused: "Is this... available?"

Queen Ma: "..."

"I forgot that you can't understand his changes... You should have seen the independence of the judiciary, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang suddenly realized: "Yes, yes, he thought that by separating judicial power from administrative power, Confucianism could be weakened."

"But they ignore that the foundation of the law is established by Confucianism. Without changing this, we cannot truly make the judiciary independent."

"He did make a mistake on this one."

Empress Ma continued: "Similarly, when he led Fang Xiaoru to betray Neo-Confucianism, he may have simply wanted to split Confucianism."

"As for how to split and how to develop in the future, he himself has no specific plan."

"Furthermore, he also took care of Fang Xiaoru. Apart from occasionally mentioning a few words, he basically didn't interfere much."

"Rather than saying it was a deliberate move, it was more of a casual move."

"At the beginning, he didn't expect that there would be a situation like this."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, yes, this boy likes Bu Xianqi the most. Maybe he will be able to use it sometime."

"Looking at it now, Fang Xiaoru played the idle game very well."

Queen Ma said: "The more you play chess, the more wonderful moves you will make."

"But what happened with Fang Xiaoru is just my speculation. The details will depend on what he does after he returns."

Zhu Yuanzhang was more certain than she was: "Even if he fails, he is not far behind. Fang Xiaoru's knowledge is indeed very different from Neo-Confucianism."

"He is also lucky. Normally, the emergence of new doctrines will be suppressed by the old doctrines."

"And he happened to coincide with the re-establishment of the Korean Kingdom in the Ming Dynasty. The local people's hearts were turbulent, which greatly weakened the resistance to promoting knowledge."

"Later, he took the lead in the compilation of the history of Liaodong and occupied the great title..."

"This time he comes back, not alone, but with his disciples and grandchildren."

"With the support of these people, it will be more difficult for Neo-Confucianism to suppress him."

"Chen Jingke's purpose of using him to split Confucianism can be regarded as a success."

Queen Ma nodded and said: "It has indeed been achieved, but it is not enough to split Confucianism."

"Jing Ke has a deeper conspiracy. It's hard to say whether Fang Xiaoru's thoughts meet his requirements."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and said: "That's him...eh? That's not right."

"Isn't it the emperor's business to choose his thoughts? Why should it depend on Chen Jingke's wishes?"

Queen Ma rolled her eyes at him and said angrily: "How about you choose?"

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a sneer: "Let's forget it... let him choose. Anyway, no matter what he chooses, he has to convince Biao'er first."

Queen Ma said: "That's the truth. Do you think Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty understood Confucianism?"

"No, he just knew that Confucianism could meet his needs."

"The emperor doesn't need to know everything. He just needs to know which tool to choose when someone puts the tools in front of him."

Zhu Yuanzhang agreed and said: "Sister, you are right, we don't need to know how to govern the country better than Chen Jingke."

"We just need to know that his reforms are beneficial to Ming Dynasty."
-
Time has entered August before we know it, and the eight hundred miles urgent battle report can be said to be one a day.

There was only one report, where King Jin and King Yan had gone.

On August 10, the armies of the two princes appeared outside Luoyang City on time.

Zhu Biao led the civil and military officials thirty miles out of the city to greet him. More than 100,000 people in Luoyang City took the initiative to participate in the welcoming ceremony.

It can be said that there are huge crowds of people on both sides of the road.

Zhu Xiongying and Chen Jingke will naturally accompany them.

The welcoming process will not be described in detail here. In short, the army entered Luoyang City with the people shouting "Wan Sheng".

Afterwards, there was a ceremony to present the prisoners, telling heaven and ancestors that we had won another battle.

Finally there is a grand banquet.

These are all ignored. When the ceremony is over, the family can finally sit together and talk about important things.

Chen Jingke was naturally allowed to participate.
