Chapter 211 I have a plan to help you make your medical family flourish
Such a big investment?
Ying Chengjiao looked at Xia Wuqie in surprise and saw that Xia Wuqie looked serious and there was no sign of joking at all.
The word "teacher" carried extremely great weight in ancient times.
The relationship between a master and his disciples is like that between parents and children.
At that time, unless something unexpected happened, one could only have one master in his lifetime.
Unlike modern schools, there were six or seven teachers for the nine years of compulsory education alone.
Disciples should treat their masters with courtesy and respect as they treat their parents.
If there is an offensive behavior, even if it is the master's fault, outsiders will only say that the disciple is wrong.
Ying Fusu's master was Chunyu Yue. Even if Chunyu Yue had many faults, Ying Fusu could not say anything. That was the case.
Both the First Emperor and Ying Chengjiao disliked Chunyu Yue.
However, for the sake of Ying Fusu's growth, the two brothers did not kill Chunyu Yue. The teacher is so important.
"I don't know any medical skills. It's just a coincidence." Ying Chengjiao paused and continued, "I apologize for what I did before. You are a real doctor."
Ying Chengjiao apologized for the second time. A noble person should not be treated like this.
Judge others by yourself.
If someone treated Ying Chengjiao like this, he would probably have killed that person in the middle of the night.
You cannot become a disciple.
Just worship the corpse.
"Coincidence, alas."
Xia Wuqie could not hide the disappointment on his face, even though he had been mentally prepared for this.
"Did Wuqie offend Chang'an Jun in some way? Chang'an Jun seems to have a very bad impression of Wuqie."
Xia Wuqie could tell that Ying Chengjiao's first apology was just a casual remark, but the second apology was sincere.
"I don't have a bad impression of you, I have a bad impression of doctors."
Ying Chengjiao's thoughts drifted away.
"In my dreams, there is always a wooden sign in front of the medicine shop, and the words on it change frequently. For example, from the first to the fourteenth day of January, it says that the golden wound medicine is on sale at a 50% discount, and buy three and get one free. From the fifteenth to the end of January, it says that if you buy medicine worth one gold, you will get ten kilograms of fine rice for free."
Xia Wuqi imagined the scene described by Ying Chengjiao and couldn't help but chuckle.
The types of medicines and quantities of medicines stored in the pharmacy are all selected based on the diseases suffered by the local people.
Each pharmacy stocks a limited number of medicine types and quantities.
The purpose of medicine is to cure diseases and save lives, to benefit the people, and to be sold to those in need.
If you sell medicine for money, and sell it to people who are not sick, and then when sick people come to buy the medicine, you don't have the medicine, wouldn't that be against the doctor's code of conduct?
A doctor who runs a pharmacy is not a businessman, so how could he write such despicable words?
"What is the Imperial Physician laughing at?"
"I laugh at Chang'an Jun's wild imagination. Such an absurd scene can only appear in Chang'an Jun's dreams."
"Absurd? Perhaps. In my dream, the doctors in the clinic would impatiently drive away patients who had no money to treat them. Medicine is not about curing diseases and saving lives, but about making money."
Xia Wuqie laughed out loud.
"Changan Jun's dream is getting more and more bizarre. All my disciples in the medical school are willing to give up their medical treatment for money. My medical school is committed to curing diseases and saving lives. Wealth is what businessmen pursue."
Ying Chengjiao stopped, looked up at Xia Wuqie who was smiling happily, and said seriously: "But I think the scene in the dream is not an illusion. What do you think of the doctor?"
This was the first time Xia Wuqie heard the term "medical merchant". He had no good feelings towards merchants who engaged in scalping and selling goods, so he instinctively frowned and asked, "What is a medical merchant?"
"The Imperial Physician Order can be simply understood as a combination of a doctor and a businessman. Merchants transport goods from the east to the west, working hard and making a profit from the price difference. Medical merchants do not need to travel far and wide, they just need to keep asking patients to buy the medicines they prepare.
"Most patients don't understand medical knowledge, so how would they know what medicine to take? As long as the medical dealer tells them to, they will buy it, because they are buying their own lives. Is there anything in the world that is more valuable than human life?"
Xia Wuqie was not angry. He stared at Ying Chengjiao and frowned, saying, "Chang'an Jun's words are so certain, it doesn't sound like he was talking in his sleep, but have you ever met a so-called medical merchant? Please tell me, for those who take human lives so lightly and use medical skills to do evil, I will ask their teacher to take back their medical skills!"
Ying Chengjiao was silent for a moment, chuckled, and supported Xia Wuqie to continue walking.
"It's just a joke, it's just a joke. How can there be such a bad person? Doctors all want to 'keep the world healthy and would rather let the medicines on the shelf gather dust'. How can they sell medicines for money?"
"If I only wish that no one in the world gets sick, I would rather let the medicine on the shelf grow dust. If I only wish that no one in the world gets sick, I would rather let the medicine on the shelf grow dust. If I only wish that no one in the world gets sick, I would rather let the medicine on the shelf grow dust."
Xia Wuqi repeated it three times, his eyes shining.
"In just fourteen words, I have expressed what I, a doctor, have been seeking all my life. Lord Chang'an is so talented! I have a request, and I hope Lord Chang'an will agree to it."
"The Imperial Physician ordered that you speak."
"I want to make this statement as a legacy for my medical students. All my medical students must follow these fourteen words as a guideline for their conduct. Is that ok?"
Afraid that Ying Chengjiao would refuse, Xia Wuqie added another sentence.
"I will not say that these fourteen words came from Chang'an Jun's mouth, and I will never steal them for myself."
Ying Chengjiao smiled and said, "I really wish for it, but I dare not ask for it. Chengjiao has only one request. This is not what I said, but what a famous doctor said. I dare not steal this credit for myself. The imperial physician ordered me to speak, and this saying is passed down from a famous doctor."
"I wonder if this doctor could leave his name?"
"We met by chance and didn't know each other's names."
Doctors gather together every five years to discuss medical principles and exchange medical skills in order to improve medicine.
I went there six times with my master, and after he passed away, I went there once by myself.
How could there be any famous doctor in the world that I don’t know?
If these words really came from the doctor's mouth, I would have heard them long ago.
The look in your face when you just said it was what a doctor said was exactly the same as when you first apologized to me.
The opportunity to become famous for generations was thrown away so easily.
Lord Chang'an, are you really as indifferent as a saint, or do you only have the throne of the lord of the world in your eyes?
Xia Wuqie looked at Ying Chengjiao for a while and said, "A person who can say these fourteen words, even if he has no medical skills, has a heart that cares about the people of the world. The Central Plains is just beginning to enjoy peace, and it is not easy for the people to live in peace. They cannot afford wars anymore."
The fact that Chang'an Jun could say these fourteen words shows that he cares about the people, so he should not rebel.
"If you don't have medical skills, you are not a doctor, and you can't say such words. The people are indeed suffering, and peace is not easy to come by."
I didn't say that, but I really don't want to rebel.
The two walked out of the Meng Mansion.
At the time of parting, Ying Chengjiao chuckled and said, "Old Xia, when I'm done with my work these few days, I'll come to talk to you about the medical family."
What can you talk to me about? Medical business?
Xia Wuqi thought of the hundred gold coins Ying Chengjiao had casually taken out, and asked cautiously, "What's the matter?"
"There are very few doctors nowadays. There are no clinics in many places, and sick people have to travel hundreds or thousands of miles. I have a plan to solve this problem. Let your medical family flourish, let doctors spread all over the world, and let the people go to the doctor when they are sick. Are you interested?"
