Yuan Shao, the father of Fanghua in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 245 Breaking the stereotypes
Knowledge is priceless, no matter at any time.

Knowledge changes destiny, and it is true for anyone.

Yuan Xi has always believed that the reason why humans are superior to animals is not that they can make tools, but that they have mastered the knowledge of making tools.

He flipped through the volumes of books, covering almost everything from sowing to pest control, from irrigation to seedling cultivation.

If the comparison is strictly based on the knowledge of later generations, these records appear to be a bit messy and crude. Most of them are the way of experience, and they are not classified, let alone compare the logic. But for him now, they are extremely valuable.

Because this is first-hand information, precious data obtained from practice over the years and countless farmers, without these things, everything would be impossible to talk about.

Yuan Xi's hands trembled slightly. With the knowledge in front of him, he didn't know how many detours he would avoid.

In the future, we will teach these things to officials and farmers through volunteer studies, and let them brainstorm and apply the nature of the experimental field to land with different climates and different soil qualities, so as to form more effective farming methods and gradually improve the level of farming. Increase the harvest and feed an unknown number of people.

He carefully put the bamboo slips back, thinking that when he got back, he immediately sent a letter to Guangling, asking them to collect all the blank bamboo slips and silks on the market, and when these classics were transported to Guangling, he mobilized all the staff to copy as many books as possible. Several copies, so as not to lose.

Chen Deng watched from a distance outside the door, and whispered to Chen Gui: "Mr. Xianyi is really a weird person. He talked with Mr. Xuande today, and he let Xiapi out without blinking an eye, as if he didn't care. , now that I see these miscellaneous books, I am obviously out of control."

Chen Gui said in a deep voice: "Food is the most important thing for the people. I have paid attention to his experience. He has been hungry and knows the value of food."

"Moreover, there are quite a few gentry who have suffered from starvation, but not many think about farming afterwards."

"As a lord, if Duke Xuande has endured hardships, he can understand the difficulties of the people and understand his inferiority. On the contrary, like Yuan Gonglu, who has suffered a lot and is a rich man, he only knows how to enjoy himself and treats the people harshly."

He lowered his voice, "However, does this person have other plans, or does he have great ambitions? You have to watch carefully, so as not to bring the Chen family into a situation where there is no redemption."

Chen Deng was taken aback for a moment, then nodded hesitantly.

Yuan Xi bid farewell from the Chen family, and agreed that after a few days, Chen Deng would bring the Chen family's classics back to Guangling with Yuan Xi, while Chen Gui would deal with family affairs first and then rush off.

As for Hua Tuo, Yuan Xi took him directly to the carriage and went back to the post house together. In the car, Yuan Xi and Hua Tuo talked about their views on medical skills. With his knowledge system of later generations, it had a great impact on Hua Tuo's thinking. .

Hua Tuo wanted to refute some of these views, but he suddenly found that although Yuan Xi's views had no evidence, they could be justified!

When Hua Tuo was thinking hard, Yuan Xi said straight to Hua Tuo: "I want to tell Mr. what I need first."

"I opened a free school in Youzhou, and the Confucian classics are only a small part. Most of them are miscellaneous studies from various schools of thought, including medical skills."

"At the same time, I am also planning to open a medical clinic, which will be filled by volunteer students."

"Taixue has the Taixue Order, and Taichang has the Imperial Physician Lingcheng. The teacher is called a doctor, and the leader is called Jijiu."

"Today there is great chaos, and the Han system has been abolished, but I can't overstep it, so I plan to set up a post of medical order and sacrificial wine for my husband. The rank is two thousand stones, and I have the same salary as Biejia."

When Hua Tuo heard this, he was very happy. It is impossible to say that he is not keen on fame and fortune. After all, if you are good at learning, you will be an official. will refuse.

Seeing Hua Tuo's excited face, Yuan Xi waved his hands and said, "Don't worry, sir, it's not like there will be dirty work in the future."

"Sir, what is the biggest shortcoming of current medical skills?"

Hua Tuo was taken aback. He and Yuan Xi had talked a lot just now, and he knew that Yuan Xi definitely didn't have a half-knowledge of medical skills. He thought about it for a long time before he said: "Up to now, I haven't understood how the human body and internal organs work. of."

"Today's medical skills just treat people as a jar, and pour herbs into it. The disease may be cured, or it may not work. I have no idea what happens in the human body."

Yuan Xi nodded and said: "That's right, what Mr. said is also what I think."

"Sir, if you want to improve your medical skills, it is useless to stay in a safe place."

"Only the Northland with frequent wars can allow Mr. to find more sick and injured."

"Or... someone who just died."

Yuan Xi said: "There are many wars in Youzhou, and the most indispensable thing is the corpses of the enemies who have just died in battle."

"Of course, this may not be enough. When some heinous people are executed, the timing is better. What do you think, sir?"

Hua Tuo's heart skipped a beat, and he panicked, "This is a big taboo!"

"If people know about it, they will be criticized by the world!"

Yuan Xi said with a smile: "I'll take care of Mr., all the responsibility for doing things lies with me, what do you want, Mr.?"

Hua Tuo was shocked when he heard this.

In the end Yuan Xi smiled and said: "Ancient medical books say that people have five viscera and six internal organs. Could it be that they were all imagined out of thin air?"

"I'm afraid that the ancients did this kind of thing, right?"

"Could it be that today's people are not as good as the ancients? As the ancient medical books are lost, are we going to return them?"

"Sir, tell me if you want to or not."

Hua Tuo was excited in his heart, and said decisively: "In this case, the old man will definitely live up to my son's expectations!"

Yuan Xi smiled, sure enough Hua Tuo couldn't refuse this temptation!

The most taboo thing about doing research is moral restraint. However, the nominal moral line in the Han Dynasty was quite high, so that no matter what you did, you were afraid of being criticized.

However, the advancement of medicine is meant to break the city regulations, and maybe only people of later generations like myself can have no psychological pressure.

If Hua Tuo dissects the corpse, improves the knowledge of surgery and other aspects and passes it on, it will benefit the people, especially if Hua Tuo can use this to train doctors, it should be able to save many lives.

At that time, Chinese medicine had a lot to offer in terms of treatment and conditioning. Unfortunately, some key knowledge was lacking, which led to unsatisfactory results in some cases, such as the lack of awareness of bacterial infections and the subsequent Fever, the treatment of wounded soldiers is quite rough.

Although it is impossible to make antibiotics and the like, if the knowledge of later generations can be combined with current medical conditions to improve the methods of saving lives and healing the wounded on the battlefield, the mortality rate of wounded soldiers should be greatly reduced.

The two kept talking about fields that Hua Tuo had never touched. Hua Tuo seemed to see a new world, jumped out of the carriage excitedly, and said, "I'm going back to pack my bags and books now, and then come to the posthouse to join my son!"

Yuan Xi saw that Hua Tuo ran away in a hurry and couldn't even keep him. He thought to himself that he was also impatient, and originally wanted to send him a carriage.

However, Yuan Xi saw that Hua Tuo left with vigorous steps and agile body, and thought to himself that this was cultivated by picking herbs from the mountains?
I may not run as fast as him!

When Yuan Xi returned to the post house, he saw Zhen Mi and Cao Xian squatting on the ground and counting ants.

This time Cai Zhaoji was not feeling well, so she didn't follow, so Cao Xian accompanied Zhen Mi.

Speaking of which, the age gap between Cai Zhaoji and Zhen Mi is larger than Zhen Mi and Cao Xian, so in comparison, Cai Zhaoji is more like a big sister, while Zhen Mi and Cao Xian are similar in age, and both have a childlike heart. more able to play together.

He saw the two girls leaning against each other head to head, watching the ants bustling in rows on the ground intently, each holding a tree stem to tease the ants, watching the ants turn around, and giving out gloating and smirking from time to time.

The two had so much fun that Yuan Xi didn't even notice when he entered the courtyard.

When Yuan Xi saw it, he felt mischievous, and approached on tiptoe, until he got behind the two women, and then he uttered a loud cry.

"Wow!"

The two girls were so frightened that their faces turned pale. They screamed and were about to stand up in a panic, but they felt their waists tighten and they were hugged by their waists.

Yuan Xi kept one in each hand, lifted the two women's feet off the ground, and shouted: "The bandit has robbed her!"

The two women's faces were pale, but when they heard Yuan Xi's voice, they complained to Yuan Xi angrily.

Yuan Xi didn't care about the two daughters begging for mercy, he had done a lot of things today, and he was in a great mood. Now, regardless of the two daughters begging for mercy, he laughed and carried them around in the courtyard.

The two girls turned dizzy, and at the same time they reached out to grab Yuan Xi's armpit.

When Yuan Xi saw it, he smiled and said, "You two are clever!"

He was about to move his hands up, but he heard someone behind him say: "Second brother is really in a good mood, I don't want to go back to the gentle village, no wonder I have to come to see me."

When Yuan Xi heard this, he quickly put the two girls down and said, "I've seen brother."

It was Yuan Tan who came.

Zhen Mi's face was slightly red, and she came over and saluted, "I've seen brother."

Yuan Tan said with a smile: "Siblings and sisters don't need to be too polite. Speaking of which, the second brother is really busy. He travels thousands of miles within a few days of getting married. It is really not easy for younger siblings to be with him all the time."

Zhen Mi lowered her head and said, "Brother, I'm overwhelmed by the award. I'm going to have a wedding on that day. Thank you, brother, for your kindness."

Yuan Tan sighed, "Of the three of us, the second brother got married the latest, but he was the most happy. I'm very envious of the elder brother."

He turned to Yuan Xi: "I'm here to say goodbye to you."

Yuan Xi was taken aback, "Brother, are you leaving so soon?"

Yuan Tan said with a smile: "It's not thanks to you, I talked about the matter for half a day, so there is no need for me to stay here."

"Langya County is very important to me. I have to install officials as soon as possible to take over the city affairs."

"And my [-] sergeants, every day of delay, the ration is a huge amount, and now I am stretched."

"Speaking of which, I envy you. There are only a thousand elite soldiers, and you save a lot of food. Everyone can count as five, but I can't learn it."

Yuan Xi thought to himself that what Yuan Tan said was true, because Yuan Shang was targeting him. Although Yuan Tan had no shortage of counselors, he was very short of generals.

Compared with Yuan Shang's Sitingzhu, Yuan Tan's generals can only be regarded as second-rate, and he does not have Qu Yi's talents who are good at training soldiers, so he can only win with the number of soldiers.

However, on the other hand, Yuan Tan had to do everything himself on the battlefield, and he also personally went out to train troops on weekdays, so he had a high prestige in the army, and the combat power of the soldiers was not low.

That's why he was able to play the role of the backbone in the three-man coalition army, driving Sun Ce out of Xiapi, changing others, and giving twice as many soldiers, it may not be possible to say that he can win Sun Ce steadily.

Yuan Tan said to Yuan Xi: "Before my brother leaves, I want to discuss the next step with my second brother."

Yuan Xi roughly guessed what Yuantan wanted to ask. The other party was facing a difficult problem. He was stuck in Qingzhou and couldn't get out.

He said: "Brother, please come into the room and discuss in detail."
