Datang Imperial Physician

Chapter 117
The report was handed over, and the response was quick. Wei Jia immediately summoned His Majesty Li Er to the palace. His Majesty Li Er asked Wei Jia in a deep voice: "Have you thought about it?"

Wei Jia quickly nodded, smiled, and said: "Your Majesty attaches great importance to me, I am very grateful, but there are some things that I really don't know, and I don't understand. It is the most taboo thing for laymen to guide experts, different things. I think it's better to leave it to professionals, since I'm a doctor, I'd like to continue my profession, hoping to improve my medical skills."

His Majesty Li Er stroked his beard, pondered for a while, and said, "I'm sure!"

Wei Jia looked happy, and before he could speak, His Majesty Li Er smiled and said: "I have already seen that, you don't look like someone who has done farm work, as you said yourself, at most you are born Peasant boy, I have seen it before, but if you are asked to play in person, you may not even be able to dig the field well."

Wei Zhi secretly wiped his sweat, secretly thanking himself for his honest strategy, and said with a smile: "Your Majesty is wise."

His Majesty Li Er smiled with something else in it, and said: "Your job, after all, is a doctor. If you want to be a doctor, I will let you be a doctor. You are still young, so it is good to exercise."

There was an ominous premonition in Wei Chi's heart, wouldn't he jump into a big pit, right? !
Before thinking about becoming famous, His Majesty Li Er changed the subject and began to ask Wei Chi what he planned to do as a doctor.Wei Jia immediately told about the finished medicine that he had discussed with Sun Simiao.

This idea, after discussion by three professionals, Wei Jia, Xie Jiu, and Sun Simiao, has matured a lot.In line with the thinking and behavior of modern people, Wei Jia and Xie Jiu conceived plans based on feasibility and operability, not just theory, but realization, otherwise, everything is useless.

Such a pragmatic style has been highly praised and affirmed by Sun Simiao and Sun Dadi. Doctors are related to human life, and human life is more expensive than thousands of dollars.In line with the guiding spirit of being practical and feasible, Sun Simiao is responsible for the development and pharmacology of patented medicines, with the assistance of Xie Jiu and Wei Chi. After all, Sun Dada is an aircraft carrier in Chinese medicine.As long as His Majesty Li Er approves, Wei Chi can join in.

His Majesty Li Er said: "You still hold the position of the Shaoqing of Sinong Temple. I have granted you permission not to go to the court early, and not to call on time. Just go and give advice when you have something to do. The key in the future lies in the patented medicine. If you can succeed , This is also a good thing that benefits the country and the people. Is this what you have seen and heard overseas?"

Wei Chi nodded, with a thoughtful expression, and said: "Your Majesty, I grew up in China, and I have seen neither too many nor too few things. Some things I think are good and suitable for my Tang Dynasty. , I think it can be properly promoted. Of course, it is not to be promoted nationwide immediately. It can be tried out in the vicinity of Chang'an first. Others use good things, but we may not be suitable for them. Tang's method, perhaps, can bring some benefits to Datang."

When Wei Jia was at home, he sometimes chatted with Xie Jiu. Speaking of his feelings after the Tang Dynasty, in addition to the backwardness of technology and some differences in living habits, there is another biggest difference, which is concept.It’s not that the ancients were all idiots, but it’s a thinking pattern that has been formed for a long time. Because of the limitations of vision and understanding of the world, the perspective of looking at things is different, and the way, direction, and angle of thinking are also different.When the thinking of the two eras collides, it may not necessarily produce a different kind of spark.

Not necessarily everything in ancient times was backward, the famous Goujian sword of the king of Yue, the famous bronze ware, so far, no scholar dares to say that they have all been interpreted clearly.Some mysterious crafts are not necessarily backward than modern times.Besides, Wei Jia and Xie Jiu are not professional technicians, and they really can't help with technology, and they are separated like a mountain.

Wei Chi talks eloquently, sincerely, seriously, confidently, with a soft demeanor and a very persuasive temperament.His Majesty Li Er listened quietly, occasionally asking a few questions, Wei Chi answered them seriously.The monarch and his ministers, one speaks and the other answers, complementing each other.

"...Doctors are never enough. People eat whole grains, and they will always suffer from various diseases. At present, in the situation of our Tang Dynasty, doctors are mostly concentrated in some relatively developed areas, while some poor mountain villages, more It is up to the villagers to find some herbal medicines to cure diseases. If things go on like this, minor illnesses will turn into serious illnesses, or they will die because of lack of treatment. You can take your own medicine according to your condition, which can solve the problem of insufficient doctors to a certain extent.”

"The cost of making ready-made medicine is not high, not counting the doctor's fee, even cheaper than seeing a doctor, and it is easy to carry, whether it is used in the military or ordinary people hide it at home, it is convenient for everyone. In this way, small Diseases are cured by proprietary medicines, and the doctors will come to the doctor for some serious diseases that really need to be treated, so that the doctors can concentrate more on the patients who need timely treatment."

His Majesty Li Er nodded frequently. Obviously, he agreed with Wei Jia's words, and said: "Wei Qing's idea is very pragmatic and feasible in operation, but it will take time to promote it. If the patented medicine can be successfully produced, it will be of great benefit to the people of Tang Dynasty." To put it bluntly, it is a great achievement. The king is a boat; .”

Wei Chi really admires that among the feudal emperors, there are a few who truly put the people first, even in modern times, that is rare.Li Shimin and Li Xiaoer, let’s not talk about the later period, the early rule is indeed pragmatic and people-oriented, not to mention anything else, just such an idea is worthy of admiration.
