If someone else hears Li Su's unceremonious question, I am afraid that even if he does not dare on the surface, he will have a little anger in his heart. However, Sun Simiao's cultivation is very good, not only did he not have the slightest anger after hearing it, but he also thought carefully for a long time, but finally he smiled helplessly and said with a wry smile: "Your Highness Qiqi, this old minister can't figure it out." ”

"Hehe, you're a fan of the authorities, I've been thinking about this question for a long time, and finally let me come up with an explanation!" Li Su said with a smile.

Sun Simiao's eyes lit up after hearing this, he knew that His Royal Highness the King of Qi in front of him was smart, if he could get his guidance, know the reason for the low status of the doctor, and then find a way to make up for it, maybe he could change the current situation. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but bow down a little excitedly and said, "Please give your Highness advice!" ”

Li Su looked at Sun Simiao's respectful appearance, but a faint smile crossed the corner of his mouth, and he said with great certainty: "Actually, this explanation is very simple, that is, since Shennong, there have been no real talents in medicine!" ”

"What? This...... This ......" Sun Simiao heard Li Su say such a surprise answer, which made him a little stunned for a while, and after a while, he reacted, and asked angrily, "Your Highness, although the old minister is not talented, but I am still full of talents in medicine, Bian Que, Hua Tuo, Zhang Zhongjing, etc. are all famous doctors who have worked hard, how can it be said that there are no talents in medicine?" ”

Looking at Sun Simiao's excited appearance, Li Su smiled slightly, this is what he wants. I saw that he said without moving at all: "Oh, then let me ask you, how do Bian Que, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing compare with Confucius?" ”

Sun Simiao couldn't cry or laugh after hearing this, and only after a while did he say: "Your Highness, Confucius is a Confucian sage. It is equivalent to the status of my Taoist Lao Tzu. Although Bian Que and other famous doctors have countless living people, how can they be compared with saints? ”

"Well, since you admit that there is no talent in medicine that can compare with Confucius and Lao Tzu. Then I will ask you now, which is more prosperous compared to Taoism or Confucianism? Li Su asked with a smile again. There were pitfalls in his questioning. Confucianism pays attention to entering the WTO, and Taoism pays attention to birth, so it is destined from the beginning that Confucianism will be more accepted by the world, and of course it will be more prosperous.

"Confucian disciples are all over the court, and there are countless students, although my Taoism has been vigorously promoted by the emperor and His Majesty, but compared with Confucianism, it is still much worse." Sun Simiao didn't think about it that much. Just smiled bitterly and replied honestly. He was not only a healer, but also a Taoist, but both medicine and Taoism. Neither is comparable to the Confucianism handed down by Confucius.

"Not bad. Lao Tzu is still a teacher of Confucius, but Taoism has been passed down to this day. But it is much worse than Confucianism, do you know what is the key to this? Li Su still asked with a smile.

"The old minister is stupid, please give your Highness advice!" Sun Simiao saw that Li Su had been selling Guanzi, and his face couldn't help showing a little anxious, and he saluted slightly.

"Well, this question is actually very simple to say, the most important thing is that Confucius spent his life teaching seventy-two students, and Lao Tzu went west out of Tongguan, leaving only a thousand words of Tao Te Ching, and these are the reasons that determine the prosperity of Confucianism and the decline of Taoism." Li Su said confidently, although he also knew that his point of view was untenable at all, as long as he could temporarily fool Sun Simiao, then he would be considered a victory.

Sun Simiao is not a stupid person, otherwise he would not become a generation of famous doctors, hearing this, he finally showed a suddenly realized expression, and said: "Your Highness, the old minister understands, what you want to say is public teaching!" ”

"Yes, Imperial Physician Sun must also know that now in medicine, almost all of them are passed from father to son and son to grandson, even if they accept apprentices, the conditions are extremely harsh, and a person only accepts two or three apprentices at most in his life, not to mention that compared with Confucianism, even Taoism is not comparable!" Li Su said with a straight face, "Compared with Taoism and Confucianism, it is actually inferior in terms of public teaching, Confucius vigorously taught apprentices back then, so that there are countless disciples of the disciples, and Confucianism is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people; And Taoism only has an unfathomable Tao Te Ching, so that later generations have their own interpretations, leading to countless schools, each with its own interpretation, and even cause internal strife, even internal unification, let alone compared with Confucianism, which advocates great unification? ”

Although Sun Simiao also felt that Li Su's reason was a bit one-sided, it was not unreasonable, if Lao Tzu also taught openly like Confucius, Taoism would not have fallen into such a situation as it is now. As for medicine, not to mention, all doctors regard their medical skills as treasures, and generally rarely pass them on except for their children and grandchildren, which also makes medical skills not exchanged, unable to learn from each other's strengths, so that medicine is naturally declining.

"Thank you Your Highness for mentioning it, the old minister is willing to show what he has learned in his life to others, but I also ask His Royal Highness to help the old minister in this matter!" Sun Simiao is a real healer, he knows the importance of the inheritance of medical skills, and he has no thoughts of cherishing his medical skills, otherwise he would not have written his life's learning into "A Thousand Golden Prescriptions" when he was more than a hundred years old. Therefore, as soon as he heard that Li Su had the intention of letting him teach publicly, he immediately nodded in agreement, but he also knew that this matter would definitely not work on his own, and it must be promoted by His Royal Highness the King of Qi in front of him.

"Hahaha~, Imperial Doctor Sun really deserves to be a generation of famous doctors, and the heart of this doctor alone is enough to make the world feel admired!" Seeing that the other party agreed, Li Su immediately stood up excitedly and walked a few steps, and praised loudly without hesitation.

However, after Li Su was excited, Sun Simiao frowned and asked again: "Your Highness, although it is a good thing to make medicine public, the old minister has no clue for a while, dare to ask His Highness what he thinks?" After all, he is just a doctor, except for being good at treating diseases and saving people, he is really inferior to Li Su in other aspects.

"Hehe, this is easy to do, since Imperial Doctor Sun knows the wound suturing and other techniques that this king has made on the battlefield, do you know how many Tang soldiers have been saved by these new technologies?" Li Su asked with a smug expression.

"This ......" Sun Simiao only knew about the specific methods such as surgery from the imperial doctor who accompanied the army, as for how many soldiers were saved, he really didn't know, after all, these are all matters of the military department, and it is difficult for ordinary people to know.

"Hehe, this king is the medical officer of this war, and he made a rough count of all the wounded treated, and then compared it with the casualties of the previous wars of the military department, and found that after adding the new type of medical soldiers, using new wound treatment techniques, the casualty rate of the battle of Goguryeo was only thirty percent of the previous war, that is, ten of the previous wounds may have died, but after our treatment, only three people will die, and after a war, tens of thousands of soldiers have survived because of our treatment, so in the Tang army, adding the new branch of medical guards has become the consensus of the Chinese military ministers! ”

Li Su smiled very proudly, his words did not have any exaggeration, although there were doctors in the army of the Tang Dynasty, but the number was very small, coupled with the backward medical means, the wounded soldiers could not be effectively treated at all, and the vast majority of the soldiers who died in a war died of aggravated injuries. However, with Li Su's medical staff, the situation was immediately greatly improved, and new treatment methods such as alcohol disinfection and wound suturing greatly reduced the casualty rate.

"Your Highness has countless living people, which is really an immeasurable merit!" Sun Simiao also said with great admiration, but then asked with some doubts, "But what does this matter have to do with public lectures?" ”

"Hehe, doesn't Imperial Doctor Sun understand?" Li Su said with a smile, "If you want to form a medical soldier, you naturally need a large number of people, although the medical soldiers do not require too high medical skills, but some first aid measures such as wound dressing and treatment are compulsory courses, I think I have a million Tang heroes, and the number of medical soldiers needed is a very large number, so there must be a special training place to provide a large number of medical soldiers for the Tang Army, but I want to expand this place again, so that it is not just a simple training of medical soldiers, but a formation of an institution similar to a academy, Taught by experienced doctors, and then recruited people from all over the world who are interested in studying medicine, openly teaching and discussing medical skills, I have already thought of the name, it is called Datang Medical College! ”

After listening to Li Su's idea of medical school, Sun Simiao was stunned, originally he thought that Li Su just wanted to let himself call on the doctors of the Tang Dynasty to give public lectures, but he didn't expect Li Su's idea to be even bigger, and he actually took the opportunity to train medical soldiers for the imperial court to take advantage of the situation to set up a Datang Medical College with a military background.

Although Sun Simiao was shocked by Li Su's huge idea, he couldn't help but be a little excited when he thought that after the medical school was completed, famous doctors from all walks of life in Datang would be gathered together, and everyone would learn from each other's strengths and weaknesses and discuss the gains and losses.

"Your Highness is talented, this move is beneficial to the country and the people, and it can carry forward medicine together, and you are not talented, you are willing to be a pawn for Your Highness, and let Your Highness drive you!" Sun Simiao bowed to the ground and said with a serious face.

"Hahaha~, with the talent of Imperial Physician Sun, it would be too condescending to be a pawn, and after I report to my father in the coming day, the position of the head of this medical school is none other than Mr.!" Li Su also laughed heartily. With the improvement of living standards, medicine will definitely develop with it, but with the current medical situation of Datang, if it is not for his promotion, it is impossible to develop rapidly, plus Lu Qing has already begun to act, and the problem of insufficient manpower in medicine has begun to become prominent, and this problem may become more serious in the future, so it is better to prepare sooner or later.

After discussing the matter of the medical school with Sun Simiao, Li Yu had just sent people away, and was about to go back to see if Xijun had woken up? At this time, someone suddenly reported that Li Zhi hurriedly came to find him, the sixth brother.
