Chapter 59: How to break the impasse
Zhang Bozu was a fellow villager of Zhang Zonghan, and their relationship was not very close, but Zhang Bozu had to give him some face by asking him to teach his son.
But Zhang Bozu did not take Su Che seriously. A ten-year-old boy who read some books wanted to study medicine. How could he know the hardships of studying medicine?
Moreover, a kid from a family of officials gave up a bright future to study medicine? What was he thinking?
This feeling is probably like a rich girl talking to a poor boy about her life ideals. Don't take it seriously, they are just playing around!
Zhang Bozu didn't teach him much. He just let him read some medical books on his own, recognize the names of some medicinal herbs, and read and learn more!
Su Che probably understood Zhang Bozu's thoughts. He did not express any objection and silently read the medical book while thinking about a question at the same time.
Can he learn Taoism?
It seems possible!
Su Che has not forgotten the "Taiping Qingling Book" that he learned when imitating Zhang Jiao. Those immortal cultivation techniques are simply not applicable in the real world, nor in the demon world. However, they are very useful in the late Eastern Han Dynasty.
It was with the help of this technique that Zhang Jue, the rebel, was able to possess such powerful combat capability in a short period of time.
Logically speaking, Zhang Zhongjing should be able to learn. Even if his aptitude for practice is not good and his practice speed is very slow, it will be more or less helpful and he will have some ability to protect himself by then.
Even if you have to take another path at that time, you can just give up Taoism and switch to practicing other things.
As for medical skills.
Su Che actually knows this too, which is also derived from Zhang Jiao. Although these medical skills cannot be compared with those of a medical saint like Zhang Zhongjing, at least he is not from scratch and his starting point is quite high.
Therefore, Su Che read the medical books given by Zhang Bozu very smoothly, and he mastered them completely in just half a month.
This day .
Su Che plays with Zhang Bozu's youngest daughter Zhang Ying.
Zhang Ying is two years older than Su Che. She is twelve years old this year and is cute and playful. She is well-educated and has learned to read and write since childhood. She is not like an ordinary country child at all.
Su Che was worrying about how to break the impasse. It was really a headache, and he had nothing to do, so he entertained her to pass the time.
It is extremely difficult to gain Zhang Zhongjing's recognition, sign a contract with him, and make him become one's heroic spirit.
Su Che currently has two choices.
The first option is to live out Zhang Zhongjing's life, just follow the historical model step by step. No matter how hard or tiring it is, it is just a simulation and it will be completed in the end.
The second option is to find another way to a better outcome, such as completely eradicating typhoid fever.
But this cannot be accomplished relying solely on one's own strength, so the medical community must be expanded. However, if one wants to expand the medical community, one must strive for more social status for them, so that they are no longer workers, but scholars. In this way, the number of doctors will increase.
But here comes the problem . Even if there are more doctors, people at the lower level still don’t have money to see a doctor. How can this problem be solved?
All in all, both the former and the latter are very difficult.
Although the former has historical figure models for reference, it is easy to make mistakes if Su Che is allowed to play freely for such a long time without any options to assist him.
After all, he is himself, not Zhang Zhongjing.
Every slight mistake in choice may cause a major deviation in the direction of your life.
It is really difficult to live the same life.
Maybe in the end we will end up in the same place, and this can be considered as living the same life?
But can such a life really be recognized?
Probably not.
If he had not made a contract with a heroic spirit.
As long as he could get out of Zhang Zhongjing's life, even if it was a different path to the same destination, the Medical Saint might gladly accept it and sign a contract with him.
But now that he already has a Heroic Spirit, the standard for the second Heroic Spirit must be raised - this is common sense in the Spirit Control World.
Heroic spirits are proud, and the difficulty of contracting a second heroic spirit with the same person will increase significantly.
This is also the reason why many spirit masters only have one heroic spirit.
Not only is there a limitation in terms of mental strength, but it is also difficult to gain higher recognition from the Heroic Spirits.
so.
Su Che had no choice but to find another way, but the problem was that this was more difficult, much more difficult than the original route.
Confucianism is the only doctrine in the current social environment. If we want to gain a higher social status for doctors, we will inevitably have to touch the cake of many people. It is almost impossible to get them to agree through peaceful means.
The aristocratic families on this side and the virtuous and loyal officials in the court on the other side would definitely not agree.
Even after going through numerous hardships and dangers, doctors were able to gain social status, but the problem of too many poor people who had no money to see a doctor was still unsolved.
The problem is back to the original question.
If you want to make some changes, you must resort to war, kill so many people, make rivers of blood, and use force to reform everything!
Revolution is not a dinner party, how can it be without bloodshed?
A revolution without bloodshed cannot be called a revolution, but rather a peaceful evolution, because there are no widespread contradictions and conflicts. Not only does a true revolution require bloodshed, but so does a true reform.
But the problem is... In this way, Su Che seems to be going back to his old ways of rebellion. Will Zhang Zhongjing, who is a doctor of medicine and saves lives, be able to bear the endless bloodshed?
If he had really taken this path, then two great virtuous teachers would have appeared at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Zhang Zhongjing and Zhang Jiao were competing for "business". Just thinking about this scene is so funny.
Just when Su Che was trying to multitask, thinking and joking with Zhang Ying, Zhang Bozu came back from his medical consultation.
When he saw his daughter and Zhang Ji getting together, he suddenly became furious.
As an old father, seeing this kind of scene, it is inevitable that he feels like his own juicy cabbages are being eaten by pigs.
Zhang Bozu snorted coldly and said loudly: "Zhang Ji! Your father asked you to study medicine with me, why are you so lazy? You just play all day and do nothing. It's better for you to go back as soon as possible! Continue reading your Spring and Autumn Annals!"
Zhang Bozu was so angry that Zhang Ying was so scared that she didn't dare to speak. She looked at Su Che cautiously . She got along well with Su Che these days. Su Che was humorous, knowledgeable, had his own opinions, was not bad looking, and had a noble background, but he never looked down on her. So Zhang Ying liked playing with him very much and naturally didn't want Su Che to leave.
Zhang Ying looked at her father again. Although she was a little scared, she really couldn't bear to leave Su Che. She wanted to defend him and ask her father to calm down.
However, at this moment, Su Che said, "Master, I have mastered all the medical books you gave me."
Zhang Bozu was stunned when he heard this, and then he laughed in anger: "Mastered them all? The books I gave you, "Huangdi Neijing", "Nanjing", "Yin Yang Da Lun", "Tai Lu", and "Bashiyi Nan" are all classics by famous masters. Even I can't say that I have fully understood them. How dare you say that you have mastered them all?"
