Chapter 68 Autumn County Examination

A large part of the reason why Chinese medicine has been criticized by people in later generations is because of the traditional "one disease and one party", which requires a large number of qualified Chinese medicine practitioners.

And the training period of traditional Chinese medicine is too long, so it will gradually decline.

Shen Yi was beaten by the county government earlier, and he lay in bed for half a month. The prescription was given by Dr. Yan after he came to see the pulse in person. Even after a period of time, Dr. Yan came to adjust the prescription for Shen Yi.

Big cities like Jiangdu and Jiankang are okay. There are many medical clinics and doctors in the city, and doctors can be hired even when they are sick. You may be able to afford a doctor, but most of the time you can only rely on yourself or use some homemade prescriptions to treat the disease.

What's more, they will go to the temple to ask for incense ash to come back and treat illnesses.

The medical level of this era cannot be said to be advanced, but at least it is far better than the potion made from crocodile tears and crow's claws. The reason why the average life expectancy cannot increase is because of the uneven medical resources.

The business that Shen Yi wants to do is "professional medicine".

That is to say, it is a finished medicine that does not require a doctor to come to the door. As long as the symptoms are similar, such as a cold and fever, it can be directly decocted and taken.

Shen Yi earned a little money in his previous life. After he got terminally ill, he built a log cabin in the mountains. At that time, according to modern medicine, he might only have less than half a year left. However, Shen Yi cultivated himself in the mountains for a while, and bought I looked through a lot of Chinese medicine books and some ancient books, and when I had any symptoms, I decocted medicine for myself.

After working like this for a year or two, although he didn't cure his illness, at least he was still alive and didn't kill himself until he "transmigrated".

And this prescription was read in a book called "Barefoot Doctor's Handbook" in his previous life, and its main effect is to reduce fever.

The Barefoot Doctor's Handbook was jointly compiled by the schools of traditional Chinese medicine in the two places during the difficult years. Because of the extremely scarce production materials and medical resources in that era, there was no way to radiate to the countryside, so the government came forward to print this kind of teaching people to practice medicine. books, which gave birth to a group of barefoot doctors in the mountains of the countryside.

The prescriptions in this book are not necessarily the magical prescriptions that will cure the disease, but there is one thing that can be guaranteed, that is, it is safe.

No matter what, you can't eat people to death.

Only such "complete prescriptions" can be published and distributed to various places.

Relying on his memory, Shen Yi wrote out this prescription. After writing it, he first went to Doctor Yan in the city to confirm it, and then ate it for two or three days. After confirming that there was no problem, he gave this prescription to Xu. complex.

Shen Yi pulled Xu Fu to sit down, and said slowly: "After you go out, help as many people as possible. After about a month, my county test is over, and you can come back to Jiangdu to find me."

Shen Yi asked, "Is there any problem?"

Although Xu Fu is not very old, but because he has been wandering on the streets of Jiangdu for a few years, he does not have many immature children. He looked at Shen Yi, hesitated for a while, and said: "Young master, the livelihood in the city is still there. Do, if I leave all of a sudden, my brothers and sisters may not be able to do well, I want to make arrangements in the city first, and then go out to do things for the young master after a day or two."

"Not in a hurry."

Shen Yi smiled, and said: "This matter cannot be done in a day or two, or even a year or two. Let's take it slowly."

Patented medicines require a lot of experimental data, and you can’t just come up with specific medicines for each disease. Although Shen Yi is currently only planning to make patented medicines for common diseases such as cough, cold, and fever, even so, it will not be in a short time. can get it out.

In the future, Shen Yi will have to hire some doctors to be "technical supervisors".

Mr. Shen's business plan is to get something out within five years.

According to his current academic progress, within five years, he will definitely pass the Jinshi examination. After five years, if he wins the Jinshi and has an official status, he will naturally be able to start a business. If he fails to win the Jinshi temporarily after five years, although Shen Yi will continue Examination, but the focus of officialdom may be on his younger brother Shen Heng.

Jinshi examination is not easy, or very difficult, Shen Yi had to make two plans for himself.

Shen Yi stayed in the city for half a day before leaving. At noon, the other five little guys came back for dinner. Shen Yi even had a meal with the six little guys before leaving.

At this moment, Shen Heng had also moved to live in the academy, so Shen Yi did not stay in the city, and left Jiangdu in the evening and returned to the academy.

Because the county examination is approaching, the academy has already sorted out the list of students who will take the county examination this year. When the time comes, the masters in the academy will take them to the Jiaoyu for unified registration. The academy references a lot of students every year, and they have already signed up at this moment. Every one of the students is nervous, and the sound of reading can be heard everywhere in the academy.

Shen Yi took advantage of the night to return to his dormitory.

Although it has already entered autumn, the autumn tiger is still very fierce, and the weather is scorching hot. He just opened the door and entered the school dormitory when he saw his younger brother Shen Heng, wearing a single shirt, sitting by the bed, turning his head by the light of an oil lamp. Book.

The academy's dormitory was originally between the two of them, but Shen Yi's previous roommate moved away, so Shen Yi lived in a room alone. After Shen Heng entered the academy, the two brothers lived together.

Seeing Shen Heng who was working hard, Shen Yi put a bag of pastries in his hand on the table, and said with a smile, "Reading like this in the middle of the night hurts your eyes. This is the food I bought for you in the city. You can try it. Then go to bed."

Shen Heng quickly put down the book, and while unpacking the oil-paper bag, looked up at Shen Yi, and said with a smile: "Brother, you are not in the academy today, and Mr. Qin has already talked about you in the academy."

Shen Yi sat down and stretched his waist: "What did the old man say about me?"

"Say you're lazy."

The oil-paper bag has been opened, Shen Heng picked up a piece of pastry, took a big bite, then looked at Shen Yi, said with a smile: "Sir, you said that you don't work hard because of your cleverness, you tried it in a nearby county, and you go out all day Run, maybe you will fail the exam this year."

Shen Qilang slightly rolled his eyes.

"The old man is not forgiving. I haven't been in the academy every day for the past half month? I only go out for one day, and he speaks ill of me behind my back!"

With that said, Shen lay half-lying on his bed and yawned again.

"According to the old man's wishes, before the county examination, I will not leave the academy, so I can study in the academy with peace of mind."

Shen Heng had already eaten two pieces of pastry at this moment, and the corners of his mouth were covered with pastry dross. He wiped his mouth with his sleeve, looked at his elder brother, and said suddenly: "Brother, if you fail the exam this year, it's not a bad thing. Mr. Qin told me that I will be able to take the county test next year, and then we will take the test together."

Shen Yi glared at Shen Heng, and said angrily, "Why, why are you expecting your brother to fail the county exam?"

After Shen Heng ate two pieces of cakes, he didn't eat any more. He wrapped the rest of the cakes and flipped through two pages of the book before saying: "After finishing the county examination, my brother will go to the capital to take the examination. I have passed the college test, and next year the rural test will be in the capital, brother, you have to stay in the capital for at least two years before returning to Jiangdu..."

The two brothers depended on each other for life, Shen Heng was naturally reluctant to part with his elder brother.

After Shen Yi heard this, he also sighed slightly in his heart, he was silent for a while, and then whispered.

"In the academy from now on, you should call him Jiankang, not Jingcheng."

Shen Yi changed the subject and spoke slowly.

"Some people don't like to hear it."
