Chapter 484: Pushing Up Your Costs
King Jing was a proud man, and proud people disdain to show their true feelings. If they care about someone, it seems more like they are targeting that person.
The Taoist priest actually has some of this kind of flavor. For example, when he cares about someone, he will definitely be cold and as if it is a routine matter.
In Jiang Qingzhi's opinion, the biggest reason why Daoye likes Prince Jing is not because he is smart, but because Prince Jing has almost completely inherited his temperament in this regard.
Looking through the history books, you can see that emperors bowed their heads when they were weak, and you can see that they compromised. But a proud man like Dao Ye would not show any weakness even if he was forced into the Western Garden by the literati.
It’s not that the Taoist doesn’t know the benefits of temporary compromise, but the pride in his bones makes him unwilling to give in even a little bit.
While he was scolding Jiang Qingzhi with a stern face, he tried to force out a smile that he thought was kind and went to the house to propose marriage for him. After the marriage, Li Tian said that the Taoist's smile at the Li family that day did not change from beginning to end.
That must have been the smile he had practiced in the palace and had maintained until the end.
He will try his best to do what he should do, and once he has done it, he will not brag about it afterwards, nor will he use it to show his kindness or care.
The same was true for King Jing.
"I read many medical books and consulted the imperial doctors, but they talked about the heart and lungs, and there was no standard.
I once heard from my uncle that the human body is an incredibly sophisticated thing, and one should not easily draw conclusions without thoroughly understanding the principles behind it. So one day I learned that a bad person had died..."
The Taoist glanced at Jiang Qingzhi, who smiled helplessly and said, "Okay, it's my fault." Then he pointed at King Jing and glared at Huang Jin.
"Hurry, untie him and find some medicine." Huang Jin finally reacted.
"It was my first time dissecting a corpse, and I vomited for a long time." King Jing had lost a lot of weight in a while, and considering the time, Jiang Qingzhi judged that it was when this guy was doing dissection.
"I saw what the human heart looked like, what the internal organs looked like, and the diaphragms... the fat, the oil... I also saw the tibia, the blood vessels... but I didn't see the meridians."
"Later, I was unwilling to give up, so I went to dig up graves and dissect corpses again and again, hoping to find the location of the human meridians."
"Boy, meridians definitely exist," Jiang Qingzhi interrupted him, "but we can't see them with the naked eye."
Emperor Jiajing and Prince Jing looked at him suspiciously.
Jiang Qingzhi said calmly: "Your Majesty, the meridians definitely exist."
In later generations, science and technology flourished, but many diseases were unknown, and no one knew how to diagnose and treat them. With the development of science and technology, humans have made greater progress in a more microscopic direction.
As the various operating mechanisms and functions of cells were gradually discovered, humans were surprised to find that many structures of the human body had not yet been discovered. In a vague way, the operating mechanism of cells has a lot in common with the Eastern theory of qi, blood, and meridians.
"Why don't you say it?" the old father asked coldly.
Your Majesty, you are proud, and your son is even prouder!
Jiang Qingzhi couldn't help but sigh.
King Jing lowered his head and said, "I am embarrassed that I didn't learn it."
"My medical skills are good enough for me to be your teacher." Taoist said calmly.
Look at this proud look, he is just like the old King Jing.
King Jing said: "I... the two dragons don't meet, I'm worried about my father..."
"Rebellious son!" The Taoist said coldly: "Someone come here."
"Your Majesty." Huang Jin came over with his head lowered and gave Jiang Qingzhi a look that said 'you are really amazing'.
"Take him back and put him under house arrest for half a month."
The news that King Jing had been under house arrest for half a month spread throughout the palace.
The imperial physician went to King Jing's bedroom and after a diagnosis, he said, "You will be able to walk freely in half a month."
Only then did Jiang Qingzhi go in.
King Jing lay on the bed, "Is there any evidence for the meridians that my cousin mentioned?"
"The human body is not as simple as your naked eyes allow. In the subtle details... I have taught you that this world is not what we see with our naked eyes, but our naked eyes can only see this world. In the eyes of other creatures, this world is another. A grain of sand is a world, a leaf is a bodhi."
Huang Jian limped over with a booklet in his hand.
"Uncle, this is what I have recorded recently." King Jing was a little proud, "Those people are extremely evil."
"Interesting." Jiang Qingzhi flipped through it and saw some human anatomy sketches, as well as some written records and speculations.
"The more you look at this world from a microscopic perspective, the more mysterious it becomes. What are human skin, tendons, and bones made of? How do those things keep the human body functioning..."
Jiang Qingzhi spoke softly, and King Jing listened attentively. After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Qingzhi looked down and found that the guy had fallen asleep.
Jiang Qingzhi walked out quietly. Concubine Lu and Prince Yu were outside. Jiang Qingzhi said softly, "It's okay."
Concubine Lu Jing looked at him deeply. It was unnecessary to say thank you at this moment. She just needed to remember everything in her heart.
Jiang Qingzhi and Prince Yu were walking in the palace. Prince Yu said, "Uncle, if I say that no matter what the fourth brother did, I would never use it to criticize him, would you believe me?"
Jiang Qingzhi looked at him, and Prince Yu raised his head with a calm look.
"I believe!"
In Yongshou Palace, the Taoist priest stood in front of the statue and remained silent for a long time.
"Your Majesty, Long Wilbur is here."
Daoye nodded, and Jiang Qingzhi walked to his side and back, "Prince Jing is asleep, the imperial physician said he is fine. He will be back to normal in half a month."
"My medical skills are not bad." The Taoist said calmly, "In less than half a month, he can be alive and well. Those eunuchs seemed ruthless, but they held back at the last blow. Did they think I couldn't see it?"
This family is too smart. Jiang Qingzhi feels that he is becoming stupid. "Since the inheritance, the development of medical skills has been slow. I think this is related to the limitations and errors in the understanding of the human body..."
"You mean to say that Lao Si has made contributions?"
"The benefits will be felt in the present and in the future!" "But those people are ignorant."
"Since I have been entrusted by your majesty to teach the princes, I will naturally teach them how to behave."
"Okay!"
……
It is meaningless to be too smart. The smarter a person is, the more he knows about the world. But the more he knows, the more confused and painful he will be.
So when he saw his little niece squatting in front of him, being so well-behaved that it made him feel distressed, Jiang Qingzhi felt that girls were better.
"Uncle, they said that fourth brother was beaten by father. I wanted to plead for him, but was stopped." Changle felt a little guilty.
"You have nothing to do with this matter." Jiang Qingzhi thought about it carefully and couldn't help but sigh secretly. It was definitely the Taoist who sent someone to inform Changle's entourage to stop her.
"Uncle, this is a gift I prepared for you." Changle took out something wrapped in silk, which looked like a scroll.
Jiang Qingzhi took it with a smile, and Changle quickly bowed and said goodbye.
Watching his niece walk away, Jiang Qingzhi opened the cloth bag and found several books. He turned a page and saw the beautiful small characters...
——All conditioned phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows. They are like dew drops and lightning. You should view them in this way.
Diamond Sutra?
Jiang Qingzhi turned to the next page and it was indeed the Diamond Sutra.
This is the scripture that my niece copied down to pray for him.
Jiang Qingzhi wrapped the scripture. The silk was smooth, so he put it in his arms. It looked ugly because it was bulging, but he was smiling very happily.
Being cared for is a kind of happiness, but when that kind of care means taking medicine, Jiang Qingzhi wishes that a crack could appear in the ground so that he could hide in it.
"My dear, this is a prescription that several old imperial doctors have discussed for a long time. They say it will be of great benefit to your body that has been suffering from overwork. Drink it while it's hot!"
Li Tian was holding a big bowl, a really big bowl... Jiang Qingzhi estimated that the bowl was almost as big as his head.
"Just leave it there, I'll drink it later." Jiang Qingzhi said with a smile.
"I just tried it, it's not hot." Li Tian had already seen through his intentions.
Jiang Qingzhi sighed, "Look how big this bowl is?"
Li Tian gestured, and Huang Yaner also gestured subconsciously, then compared it with her own head and made a face, "It's so big."
Jiang Qingzhi said: "After taking this bowl of medicine, you won't have to eat."
After Li Tian used both soft and hard tactics, Jiang Qingzhi finally picked up the big bowl. In fact, he was not afraid of too much medicine, but was afraid of the smell of medicine.
I don't know who wrote this prescription, but it says three bowls of water boiled into one bowl of water. The soup is yellow-black in color, and has an indescribable smell, not fishy, but strong.
The smell of the medicine... Jiang Qingzhi closed his eyes, held his breath, and gulped...
Uh!
He burped for a long time, released his taste buds, and was immediately hit by a strong smell of medicine.
A candied fruit was roughly stuffed into his mouth, then the bowl was taken away and the man left.
It's like an old prostitute who doesn't recognize anyone after he pulls up his pants.
The wife's voice came from outside, "For dinner today, I'll make you some stir-fried pork with peppers. The meat should be pork belly. Also, two slices of braised pork with fat three fingers thick. Cook the pork belly until it's softer..."
It's actually quite nice to be treated like a child. As for the saying that men should be tough, tough as peat! This is a kind of life interest, okay?
Jiang Qingzhi despised his own weakness, closed his eyes and thought about King Jing.
Traditional Chinese medicine is closely linked to traditional culture, the five elements counteracting each other, the circulation of qi and blood, the flow of meridians... It seems ridiculous, but it has been verified one by one in later generations.
But nowadays, Chinese medicine relies on inheritance, with one master taking one apprentice, or at most two or three. If it is passed down in this way, the inheritance will be broken if we are not careful.
What if it can be scaled up?
Jiang Qingzhi thought about it and felt that there was a way to do it.
The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, so he went to the study.
——Mass training of doctors!
"Uncle!"
Just as I was writing the plan, Xu Wei arrived.
"What's the matter?"
Xu Wei came in, "Someone came to ask when the treasure of the Lord could be obtained."
"The emperor is not anxious, but the eunuch is." Jiang Qingzhi said.
"Those people said that Master Bo wanted to let it go." Xu Wei said, "There are people watching the land outside the city every day. Master Bo ordered to build a wall, and Lao Hu went to look for a foreman, but no one took the business."
Jiang Qingzhi laughed, "Is this cutting off the firewood from under the cauldron? Interesting, interesting!"
Xu Wei said: "Money makes the world go round. Those people just want you to spend more money."
"Increase my costs?" Jiang Qingzhi smiled, "Those idiots! They can never see through people's hearts!"
"The bricks are in place." Xu Wei said, "They are now piled on the empty space. In just two days." He held up two fingers, "You take one, I take one, and more than 300 bricks have been taken.
The guards at home are watching, but it's hard to prevent them. Now more and more people are stealing... If this continues, my Lord, those bricks will be gone in less than ten days."
Jiang Qingzhi thought about the times in his previous life when he had stolen other people’s building materials.
This mentality of taking advantage has remained the same since ancient times!
Those people must be laughing at the joke!
