Chapter 15 Studying medicine cannot save China
This order is neither iron nor gold, but low-key and luxurious. This is an identity certificate specially made of aluminum and gold by Yang Mu, knowing that the household registration system of the Qin Dynasty is extremely strict. It is easy to check if someone steals someone else's directions.
It will be troublesome if you don't get the correct number then. It's better to walk the world as a doctor.
Doctors are all over the world, these words are quite impressive when you think about them.
Obviously, the city guards did not dare to make decisions without authorization, so they had to report the matter to Qin Shi Huang's desk. This was all because the reputation of Bai Jia was too great. The First Emperor was very afraid of Bai Jia.
When people entered Xianyang, they were shocked. When they found out that he was from a medical family, they immediately breathed a sigh of relief and put the matter aside.
Because the doctors only treated illnesses and saved people, and did not clearly advocate correct treatment, nor did they participate in correct treatment, the First Emperor did not take it seriously, and just asked Heibingtai to monitor him as usual.
Yang Mu waited for a long time before the soldiers guarding the city returned the doctor's token. After instructing Yang Mu and his party to report to the Xianyang Order, they were released and allowed Yang Mu and his party to enter Xianyang.
After Yang Mu and his party entered Xianyang, they found the Xianyang Order and reported to it. The Xianyang Order's attitude towards Yang Mu and his party was neither humble nor overbearing. Adhering to the attitude of doing things impartially, they issued household registration information such as road guides to prove their identity, and recorded them in
On the bamboo slips.
Yang Mu spent a long time shopping in Xianyang City, spent a huge sum of money to buy a quiet house in a corner of Xianyang City, and settled there.
Yang Mu clearly sensed that someone was watching, but Yang Mu didn't care at all. He came into the world as a medical practitioner. It was only right that the Qin Dynasty officials sent people to monitor. It would be strange not to send anyone to monitor. Yang Mu simply
So he recruited them in the name of recruiting servants.
"Heibingtai, it turns out that he is a member of the First Emperor, should I be flattered?" Yang Mu smacked his lips and said to himself after finding out their details.
Of course, this was just Yang Mu's self-joking. After knowing that they were from Heibingtai, Yang Mu put away some of his novel equipment, but he would not treat himself badly when it came to food.
Everything about Yang Mu was naturally reported to the First Emperor's desk by the people from Heibingtai. The First Emperor became even more relieved after seeing this. No one would offend a doctor for no reason, especially a doctor with excellent medical skills. It was good to live in peace and quiet.
After Yang Mu settled down here, he would treat people during the day and morning. Yang Mu would not reject anyone who came to see a doctor, and he would charge money according to his mood. Poor people in Guizhou generally did not charge money, while dignitaries paid a lot. Anyway, they did not
Although he was short of money, Yang Mu had a reputation as a world-renowned doctor. Some people came to challenge him, but they all came back defeated. Yang Mu's reputation began to spread in Xianyang City.
To put it bluntly, Yang Mu is raising his reputation. The purpose is to cultivate enough reputation when this turbulent era comes. By then, whether he joins any party or retreats to the countryside, he will be able to advance or retreat freely.
In the morning, Yang Mu treated people, and in the afternoon, he wrote books and used all the medical skills he knew, which could be regarded as a small contribution to the people of this world.
The idea is good, but the reality is cruel. If you want to write a medical book, you not only need to write down the prescription, but also the name of the medicine. The key is that the name of the medicine that Yang Mu knows is not necessarily the same as what people of this era know.
The names of the medicines he knew were the same, and it would be troublesome if he used the wrong medicine. Therefore, Yang Mu had to draw the medicine, its place of origin, characteristics, efficacy, etc., and label them in detail one by one.
The problem was that there was no paper in this era, so everything had to be done with bamboo slips. Yang Mu could easily write on the bamboo slips, but drawing pictures on the bamboo slips was too much for Yang Mu.
"Do we need to make paper? But this paper-making only treats the symptoms and not the root cause." Yang Mu frowned.
"Alas, studying medicine can't save the Chinese people." Yang Mu sighed. Through visits and careful observation during this period, Yang Mu discovered that in this era, the fundamental reason why Guizhou leaders cannot survive or live long
It’s not that there’s no cure, it’s that there’s not enough to eat.
There are roughly three reasons why the people do not have enough to eat: First, land annexation is serious. The Qin Dynasty was a semi-slave and semi-feudal society. The leaders of Guizhou had very little land, or many Guizhou leaders had no land at all. To put it bluntly, the reasons for all this
Still the First Emperor.
Although the First Emperor destroyed the Six Kingdoms, he only lost the title and part of the power of the kings of the Six Kingdoms. However, most of the assets owned by the nobles of the Six Kingdoms were retained. These assets included land, and the ownership of land belonged to the nobles.
If the leader of Guizhou wants to survive, he must rely on the nobles.
The second is the seriousness of corvee. The Qin Dynasty has always followed the governing ideas of Shang Junshu, which weakened and exhausted the people, keeping the people in a state of poverty and weakness. Just look at the series of corvee issued by the First Emperor after the Qin Dynasty unified the world.
It can be seen that the head of Guizhou is not allowed to recuperate. This leads to the desolation of the land. Although the land is barren, the nobles cannot starve. The worst sufferer is still the head of Guizhou;
The third is low productivity. One acre of medium-sized land can produce less than 200 kilograms of grain. In the fertile Guanzhong Plain, the country of Sichuan can only produce more than 200 kilograms of grain. It is rumored that it can produce up to 300 kilograms.
It's just a pound, which will make people laugh out loud in later generations, but that's how it is in this era of relying on the sky for food.
Yang Mu looked through the supplies in his storage space and found that the supplies he bought were all ready-made. There were no grains or the like at all. There were dried sweet potatoes and potato chips, which were quite delicious. Lu Su could eat them.
Very happy, but this thing can only be eaten, not grown.
Yang Mu thought for a while, and the only way to increase grain production at present is to create advanced farming tools, such as curved shaft plows, waterwheels, etc.; then to accumulate manure and a series of operations; and finally to harvest rice from Champa
Tried planting in the southern region of the Qin Empire.
"We still have to make paper first." Yang Mu sighed.
Yang Mu understood that if he wanted the leaders of Guizhou to have a full meal, he could not do it by himself. Only through top-down administrative orders could he do it. So Yang Mu decided to make paper, which was the stepping stone.
This chapter is not finished yet. Please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Just do what you think of. In the evening, Yang Mu pointed at the three secret agents of Heibingtai and said: "You, you, and you, come out here
."
The three spies from Heibingtai pretended to be at a loss and walked out, asking: "May I ask the master of the house what you need to do with me?"
"You've exposed yourself just by your elegant words. How could an ordinary servant say that? They would definitely say, Master, what do you want me to do?" Yang Mu thought to himself as he rolled his eyes while doing the work.
Yang Mu casually took out a solar lantern and solar charging panel and handed them to them. He first taught them how to use it, and immediately shocked the three Black Ice Platform spies. Just as the three of them were thinking about how to present this treasure to His Majesty the First Emperor,
At this time, Yang Mu spoke.
"Please report to His Majesty the First Emperor that the Xiaoyao sect of my medical family came into the world only to cure diseases and save people. This is a gift to His Majesty the First Emperor. If His Majesty the First Emperor wants to reward you, I will reward you with twenty carpenters, twenty bamboo craftsmen, and two
Blacksmith, just give me some young bamboos. By the way, if His Majesty the First Emperor is very happy, please also ask His Majesty the First Emperor to reward me with ten beauties. I want a thin waist, long legs, big and fierce ones, and they must be beautiful. Do you understand?"
Yang Mu said.
After the three secret agents of Heibingtai realized that they had been exposed, they were dumbfounded and thought to themselves: "Are you from the medical family or from the Mo family? It's your medical family who is so ingenious that you can use the light of the sun and the moon for your own use."
Created? You think the Mo family is easier for us to accept, and also, are you doctors so straightforward?"
"Go, go." Yang Mu waved his hand.
"May I ask, head of the family, are you really a member of the medical family?" asked the third secret agent of Heibingtai.
"Nonsense, you have lived here for so long. I have cured more than 80 patients if not a hundred. Am I not from a medical family or from some other family? Don't be verbose, just report to me verbatim."
Yang Mu said.
"No!" The three people subconsciously saluted, turned around and left. Soon after, this solar-powered horse lantern appeared in front of the case where the First Emperor won the government.
