Tang Dynasty: The poisonous scholar in the Eastern Palace, please abdicate and let the wise one take

Chapter 139 Su Chen's Big Pie

"Good news, good news, very good news!"

"Su's Ice Shop is officially open. All customers who purchase ice before noon can enjoy a 50% discount!"

"The latest news is that an article written by Kong Siye from the Imperial College has appeared in Tianxia Daily. It's really real, don't miss it if you pass by!"

"Special news, the drought in Henan Province has intensified..."

Newspaper vendors, waving newspapers in their hands, kept shouting in the streets and alleys of Chang'an City.

The most eye-catching ones were undoubtedly the opening of Su’s Ice Shop, which sold ice cubes at half price, and Kong Huiyuan’s article.

There are many articles published in newspapers, but none of them use real names. Kong Huiyuan actually used his real name, which shows that he is extremely confident in his article.

"Have some."

"I need to study Kong Siye's article carefully!"

"While you are still reading the article, the smart people have already gone to Su's Ice Shop to buy ice cubes!"

"..."

As for the drought in Henan Prefecture, not many people paid attention to it.

In other words, even if they paid attention, it would not have much to do with them.

The drought situation is handled by the imperial court, and as for the businessmen who engage in speculation, there is not much action this time.

The Suzhou flood is still vivid in our memory.

There was already a huge crowd of people outside Su’s Ice Shop.

Some were servants from the houses of the nobles, some were from the homes of some wealthy businessmen, but more were residents of Chang'an City.

For these people of different identities, Su’s Ice Shop also took out different kinds of ice cubes.

Just like the soap that smelled good before.

The more expensive the ice is, the more crystal clear it is, and the cooler it looks.

The cheaper ice cubes are uglier in appearance and contain some impurities.

The dozen or so men Su Wang had assigned to the team were so busy that they were busy all the time. Blocks of ice that were emitting cold air were carried onto the carriage and bought by their employers.

"I'm afraid it will be like Jin Yong and his team, where orders will be placed ten days to half a month later..."

Looking at the gathered customers and the waiter busy carrying ice cubes, Su Wang seemed to be thinking about something.

Subsequently.

Su Wang found a man and ordered, "Go to Wang Xuance and tell him that the demand for ice is too high. Ask them to speed up production."

……

Yanfufang.

Su Chen, with a smile on his face, brought Sun Simiao to the house they had visited yesterday.

Sun Simiao: "It should cost a lot of money to buy this place, right?"

"Why should Elder Sun care about these few possessions?"

Su Chen chuckled, "The most important thing is that Elder Sun can establish a school here, carry forward his medical skills, and benefit the people."

Sun Simiao stroked his beard. He had never thought about founding a sect.

However, we have been doing things that benefit the people.

"But there are several courtyards here that need to be renovated. I think Elder Sun also needs medicinal herbs and a place to teach, so I plan to tear down these courtyards and connect them all. By then, even if there are three thousand disciples..."

Looking at the courtyard, Su Chen felt that this analogy was a bit exaggerated. "Three hundred disciples should still be able to accommodate them."

Sun Simiao laughed and said, "Do you think I am Confucius, the sage with three thousand disciples?"

"If these courtyards and rooms are connected, it shouldn't be a problem to accommodate hundreds of people."

"but……"

"But what?"

"Can my reputation really attract so many apprentices?"

Sun Simiao was still not confident enough about his own reputation.

Su Chen immediately asked: "Mr. Sun, how much do you despise yourself?"

Sun Simiao: “…?” Su Chen: “Not to mention that Elder Sun has treated His Majesty and the Queen, your reputation among the people alone is second to none!”

"It's not an exaggeration to call you the King of Medicine!"

"Plus, the priceless prescription you compiled, once published, will become a model for countless doctors, and will be passed down through the ages, benefiting the common people!"

"I can assure you that as long as you publish the news that you want to open a school to teach others medical skills in the newspaper, within three days, this courtyard will be packed with people!"

Sun Simiao smiled without saying a word. His eyes swept across the huge courtyard, and a sense of lofty ambition rose in his heart.

He established schools and recruited many disciples to benefit the world.

just.

The cost of opening an academy and recruiting so many apprentices...

Hard to imagine.

"As for the medicinal materials, books, pharmacopoeias, etc. that you need, as long as I can collect them, I will definitely bring them all to you!"

"Besides that, feel free to ask for anything else you want. Anything that can be settled with money is not a big deal!"

Faced with such a generous Su Chen, Sun Simiao pondered and expressed his concerns.

"If I accept disciples like you do, just for the tuition fee, I will exclude many people who are interested in learning. This is not what I want..."

"You don't have to worry about that!"

Su Chen waved his hand to interrupt Sun Simiao's words and opened his folding fan, "Old Sun, I don't have anything else but a lot of money."

"Any apprentice you like doesn't need to pay tuition. I, Su Chen, will cover their food and drink expenses."

"My biggest hobby is helping others."

"As long as those who come here to study medicine are serious and focused, and rank among the top in every assessment, I will give them certain rewards!"

"If their grades are not good enough and they study hard, even if they leave in the end, I will arrange a job for them and ensure that they will have enough food and clothing in the future."

Sun Simiao looked at Su Chen with some astonishment.

He always felt that all these items, row after row, had been planned before Su Chen invited him to open a medical school.

He has even made arrangements for the future destinations of those apprentices who have not yet become his disciples!

Sun Simiao pulled his beard, feeling as if he had jumped into the pie drawn by Su Chen.

"Mr. Sun, what do you think?"

"I feel like you had already planned this when you were in Suzhou."

"Uh……"

Su Chen smiled calmly and said frankly: "Old Sun, I didn't mean to plot against you, but I think it would be a waste if your medical skills can't be spread to benefit the people."

"Every profession has its own prejudices and people cherish what they don't have. However, medicine is used to save lives, not to make money."

"I just want to do my best to help people in this world have fewer people suffering from illness and fewer people suffering from accidental injuries. Is this too much to ask?"

Su Chen's confession surprised Sun Simiao a little.

After these days of contact, Sun Simiao felt that Su Chen was a very utilitarian person. He had his purpose for everything he did, and it was extremely clear!

But it is undeniable that he admired Su Chen's sincerity in saving lives through medicine.

As long as there are many famous doctors who come out of here to benefit the people in the future, then does Su Chen’s purpose still matter?
"well said."

Sun Simiao said in a deep voice, "No matter what you want to do, you and I agree on the use of medical skills to save lives."

Su Chen smiled and nodded, "A journey of a thousand miles tells a horse's strength, and a person's heart is revealed over time."

"I believe that with our joint efforts, in the near future, Mr. Sun will see a perfect world without disease or disaster."

Sun Simiao waved his hand to interrupt him, "It's better not to say such fantastic words."

Ok.

The pie can no longer be drawn.

But it’s not a big problem. Sun Simiao has already happily boarded this train, and that’s enough.

"Mr. Sun, do you think there is anything else that needs to be modified in this courtyard? I will arrange for someone to do it."
