Capital Datang

If it were someone else who heard Li Yin's unceremonious questioning, he might feel a little bit angry in his heart even if he didn't dare on the surface.However, Sun Simiao's self-cultivation is very good, not only did he not show any anger after hearing this, but he also thought about it carefully for a long time, but finally he smiled helplessly and said: "His Royal Highness, this old minister also can't figure it out."

"Hehe, you are a fan of the authorities. I have thought about this problem for a long time, and finally let me come up with an explanation!" Li Yin said with a smile.

Sun Simiao's eyes lit up when he heard this, he knew that His Royal Highness King Qi in front of him was intelligent, if he could get his advice, know the reason why the doctor's status is low, and then find a way to make up for it, maybe the current situation can be changed.Thinking of this, he couldn't help but bowed excitedly and said, "Please give me your advice, Your Highness!"

Li Yin looked at Sun Simiao's respectful expression, but there was a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and he said with certainty: "Actually, the explanation is very simple, that is, since Shennong, there are no real talents in medicine anymore!"

"What? This... this..." Sun Simiao was stunned when he heard such an unexpected answer from Li Yin. After a while, he finally came to his senses and asked angrily, "Your Highness , although the old minister is not talented, but I still have a lot of talents in medicine, Bian Que, Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing, etc. are all famous doctors who have endured hardships, how can it be said that there are no talents in medicine?" Capital Datang 126

Seeing Sun Simiao's excited look, Li Yin smiled slightly. This is what he wanted.He said calmly, "Oh, let me ask you, how do Bian Que, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing compare with Confucius?"

After hearing this, Sun Simiao couldn't laugh or cry, and after a while he said: "Your Highness, Confucius is a Confucian sage. He has the same status as my Taoist Lao Tzu. Although famous doctors such as Bian Que have countless survivors, how can they compare with a sage?"

"Okay, since you admit that there is no medical talent who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Confucius and Laozi. Then I will ask you now, which is more prosperous compared with Taoism or Confucianism?" Li Yin asked again with a smile.There were pitfalls in his questioning.Confucianism emphasizes joining the world, while Taoism emphasizes being born. Therefore, it was doomed from the very beginning that Confucianism would be more accepted by the world, and of course it would be more prosperous.

"Confucian disciples are all over the court, and there are countless students. Although my Taoism has been vigorously promoted by the late emperor and His Majesty, compared with Confucianism, it is still much worse." Sun Simiao didn't think so much.He just replied honestly with a wry smile.He is not only a doctor, but also a Taoist, but whether it is medicine or Taoism.Both are inferior to the Confucianism handed down by Confucius.

"That's right. Lao Tzu is considered to be the teacher of Confucius, but Taoism has been passed down to this day. Compared with Confucianism, it is much worse. Do you know where the key is?" Li Yin still asked with a smile.

"The old minister is dull, please give me your advice!" Sun Simiao couldn't help showing a bit of anxiety on his face when he saw Li Yin's continued reticence, and saluted slightly again.

"Well, this question is actually simple to say. The most important thing about the two is that Confucius spent his whole life teaching 72 students, while Laozi left Tongguan in the west and left only a thousand-word Tao Te Ching. These are It determines the reason why Confucianism flourishes and Taoism declines." Li Min said confidently, although he also knew that his point of view was untenable, but as long as he could temporarily fool Sun Simiao, he would be considered a victory.

Sun Simiao was not stupid, otherwise he would not have become a famous doctor of the generation. Hearing this, he finally showed an expression of enlightenment, and said, "Your Highness, I understand, what you want to talk about is public teaching!"

"That's right, Imperial Physician Sun must also know that in terms of medicine, it is almost always in a state of father-son and son-to-grandson. Even if you accept apprentices, the conditions are extremely harsh, and a person can only accept two or three apprentices at most in a lifetime. Not to mention compared with Confucianism, even Taoism is inferior!" Li Min said with a straight face, "Compared with Confucianism, Taoism is actually inferior in the aspect of public teaching. There are countless disciples, and the Confucian classics are deeply rooted in the hearts of the people; while Taoism has only one inscrutable Tao Te Ching, so that later generations have their own interpretations of it, and countless schools have been derived, each with its own interpretation, and even cause internal strife. It cannot be unified internally, let alone compare with Confucianism, which advocates great unification?"

Although Sun Simiao also felt that Li Yin's reasoning was a bit one-sided, it was not unreasonable. If Lao Tzu had taught in public like Confucius, Taoism would not have fallen into the situation it is now.Not to mention medicine, all doctors regard their own medical skills as treasures, and generally, except for their children and grandchildren, they rarely spread them to the outside world, which also prevents medical skills from being communicated and learning from each other.

"Thank you for your highness, I am willing to share what I have learned in my life, but please help me with this matter!" Sun Simiao is a true doctor, and he knows the importance of inheriting medical skills, and he does not cherish his own medical skills Otherwise, I would not write my lifelong learning into "Qian Jin Fang" and pass it on to future generations when I was more than 100 years old.So when he heard that Li Yin wanted him to teach publicly, he immediately nodded in agreement, but he also knew that this matter could not be done by himself, and he had to be promoted by His Royal Highness Qi Wang in front of him.

"Hahaha~, Doctor Sun really deserves to be a famous doctor of a generation. Just this kind of doctor's heart is enough to make the world feel admirable!" Seeing the other party agreeing, Li Yin immediately stood up and walked a few steps excitedly, loudly praised.

However, after Li Yin got excited, Sun Simiao frowned and asked again: "Your Highness, although it is a good thing to disclose medical science, the old minister has no clue for a while. May I ask Your Highness what he thinks?" After all, he is just a doctor. In addition to being good at treating diseases and saving lives, he is really not as good as Li Yin in other aspects.

"Hehe, this is easy to handle. Since Imperial Physician Sun knows the techniques of suturing wounds and other techniques developed by the king on the battlefield, do you know how many soldiers of the Tang Dynasty have been saved by these new techniques?" Li Yin asked with a proud face.

"This..." Sun Simiao learned about the operation and other specific methods from the imperial physician who accompanied the army. As for how many soldiers were saved, he really didn't know this. After all, these are matters of the Ministry of War, and it is difficult for ordinary people to know.

"Hey, this king is the medical officer of this war. He made a rough statistics of all the wounded he treated, and then compared it with the casualties of the Ministry of War in previous wars. It turned out that after adding the new type of medical soldiers, Using new wound treatment technology, the casualty rate in the Battle of Goguryeo was only [-]% of the previous war. Tens of thousands of soldiers have survived because of our treatment, so adding a new type of medical soldiers to the Tang army has become the consensus of the Chinese and military officials of the DPRK!"

Li Yin smiled proudly. His words were not exaggerated. Although there were doctors accompanying the army in the army of the Tang Dynasty, the number was very small. Coupled with the backward medical methods, the injured soldiers could not receive effective treatment at all. Most of the soldiers who died in the war died due to the aggravation of their injuries.However, with Li Yin's medical soldiers, the situation was greatly improved immediately. Coupled with new treatment methods such as alcohol disinfection and wound suturing, the casualty rate was greatly reduced.

"Your Highness has countless lives, which is really an immeasurable merit!" Sun Simiao also said with great admiration, but then asked with some doubts, "But what does this matter have to do with public lectures?"

"Hehe, doesn't Imperial Physician Sun understand yet?" Li Yin laughed, "Naturally, a large number of manpower is needed to form a medical army. Although medical soldiers do not require high medical skills, some first aid measures such as dressing wounds, etc. But it is a compulsory course. Thinking about my Great Tang army with millions of troops, we need a very large number of medical soldiers, so there must be a special training place to provide a large number of medical soldiers for the Datang army, but I want to Expansion of this site makes it not only train simple medical soldiers, but to form an institution similar to an academy, taught by experienced doctors, and then recruit people who are willing to learn medicine from all over the world, and openly teach and discuss medical skills. I have already thought about it, and it will be called Datang Medical College!" Capital Datang 126

After hearing Li Yin's idea of ​​medical school, Sun Simiao was stunned. At first, he thought that Li Yin wanted to call on the doctors of the Tang Dynasty to give lectures publicly, but he didn't expect that Li Yin's idea was even bigger. Taking advantage of the opportunity to form a Datang Medical College with a military background, only His Royal Highness Qi Wang dared to think about such a big effort.

Although Sun Simiao was shocked by Li Yin's grand vision, he, who has always been calm, couldn't help but feel a little excited when he thought of the grand occasion of gathering famous doctors from all walks of life in the Tang Dynasty after the completion of the medical school.

"Your Highness is a great talent. This action will benefit the country and the people, and it will further promote medical science. I am old but not talented. I would like to be His Highness's pawn and let His Highness drive me!" Sun Simiao bowed to the ground and said with a serious face.

"Hahaha~, with the talent of Imperial Physician Sun, being a pawn is too inferior. After I report to the emperor in the future, the post of the head of the medical school must be sir!" Li Yin also laughed heartily. road.With the improvement of living standards, medicine must also develop accordingly, but with Datang's current medical situation, without his promotion, it would be impossible to achieve rapid development. In addition, Lu Qing has already started to take action. On the one hand, the problem of insufficient manpower has begun to become prominent, and this problem may become more serious in the future, so it is better to be prepared sooner or later.

After discussing the matter of the medical school with Sun Simiao, Li Yin had just sent him away, and was about to go back to see if Xijun was awake?At this time, a servant suddenly reported that Li Zhi hurried to find him, the sixth brother.
