The revival of the Han Dynasty must start with Dong Zhuo

Chapter 508 Volume Not much, two hundred thousand
Life saved...

Many people outside the venue almost collapsed to the ground.

Cao Pi and Cao Zhi, who had just disappeared, came running over from nowhere and hurried into the house.

"You can't go in yet."

Cao Jie scolded his two brothers.

"Although the treatment was successful, my father has not yet recovered. We must not barge in rashly."

The two of them stopped walking.

Hua Tuo also arranged for everyone: "No one can be in the house now. We will take care of General Cao."

Although the wound has been sutured and looks fine, no one knows whether the microscopic insect will come out to cause trouble again.

To be on the safe side, Hua Tuo stopped everyone from entering the house.

"Why can't you go in?"

Cao Xian, who was following behind Cao Pi, obviously wanted to rush in.

"There is nothing more important than filial piety in this world! This is what my parents taught me, how can I not serve them by their bedside?"

"Snapped!"

Fortunately, Cao Pi was quick-witted and swift-handed. He grabbed Cao Zhang's throat and took him away immediately.

"Sorry! Sorry! Ziwen hasn't woken up yet! I'm so sorry!"

"..."

Only when Cao Pi and Cao Zhi worked together to pull Cao Zhang away did the scene become quiet again.

However, people like Guo Jia, Yu Jin and Xiahou Dun all looked at each other in confusion.

Now their desire to go in and visit Cao Cao has reached its peak!
According to etiquette, I should go visit Cao Cao, but...

"Is there something wrong with your ears? Get out of here!"

It was only when the emperor himself stepped forward to reprimand them that these people left reluctantly.

"You two too."

Mrs. Ding and Mrs. Bian were a little stunned for a moment.

"Your Majesty, I will stay to take care of my husband..."

"I don't want to say it a second time."

The two men then realized the identity of the person in front of them. Although they felt very aggrieved, they did not dare to continue to be tough in front of the emperor.

After everyone had left, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing came over to express their gratitude.

"There are many small poisons on people's bodies."

"If so many people broke in, even if General Cao could have survived, he would have been killed."

Liu Xie nodded.

The most difficult part of the craniotomy technique is still to come, which is to ensure that Cao Cao is not infected.

Just now Cao Zhang used filial piety as an excuse, but it was foolish filial piety.

And it was equally foolish of Ding and Bian to use the husband's authority as an excuse!
Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing knew very well that if the emperor was not in charge, these people would really break in on the grounds of etiquette and kill Cao Cao!

So Zhang Zhongjing also bowed to the emperor and said: "I can only cure diseases on the body, but I cannot cure the diseases in people's hearts like Your Majesty!"

Liu Xie waved his hand, indicating that the other party did not need to salute.

"Wen Ruo, go serve tea to the two of you."

The Minister of the Central Secretariat Jia Xu personally brought chairs and stools, and the Minister of the Shangshu Xun Yu personally made tea for the two of them. The emperor did not distinguish between the monarch and his subjects, and sat at a round table with the two of them. His attitude was completely different from when he faced those people just now.

"I have heard from Kong Ming before that it was you two who developed the medicine in Nanzhong and cured the people of Nanzhong... Kong Ming was able to pacify the southwest because of this, and the Han Dynasty was able to expand its territory in the southwest by thousands of miles, find a ferry, and trade with Daxia. This is all your merit."

"But the two of you have always been secretive. Even if I wanted to reward you, I couldn't find you."

Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing hurriedly bowed to the emperor and said, "I practiced medicine not for fame or fortune..."

"I know!"

Liu Xie interrupted the two of them rudely.

"But whether you are indifferent to fame and fortune is your business."

"If I don't reward you, it's my problem, it's the country's problem."

"And I hate people who do not accept rewards for their merits the most... Confucius reprimanded Zigong for redeeming someone and not accepting rewards. It was recorded in the Analects. Haven't you read it?"

He made great contributions to the court, but he still didn't accept the reward...

This is clearly blocking the path for future generations to make achievements! Apart from being beneficial to myself, it is of no benefit to the country or future generations!
Who stipulates that virtuous people must be poor?

Who says talented people must be humble?

These are all bad habits, change them as soon as possible!
Seeing that the emperor was slightly annoyed, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing did not dare to refuse.

"I am just developing herbal decoctions, which is the duty of a doctor. Please grant me a small gift, Your Majesty."

"Don't worry, it's not much."

The two men breathed a sigh of relief.

"It's only two hundred thousand taels of gold, half for each of you two."

"?"

Both of them suspected that they heard wrongly.

Hua Tuo even held up two fingers in a daze: "Twenty taels?"

"Two hundred thousand taels."

Liu Xie calmly drank his tea and said, "You are missing the character 'wan'."

The two were about to salute in panic, but Liu Xie shouted at them, "Sit down!"

Sit down obediently.

"Two hundred thousand taels is really not much."

"Just winning back the hearts and minds of the people in the south is a great achievement in itself."

"Otherwise, if we really want to mobilize a large army to conquer, I'm afraid it will cost a lot of money and food... Nanzhong has a complex terrain. Once we get stuck, it's possible that the Han Dynasty will be exhausted." "Not to mention, Kong Ming also used the troops of Nanzhong to conquer the Pyu Kingdom and opened up a waterway to Daxia, and sold all the goods and food piled up in the treasury of Shu... This trade alone brings in millions of taels of silver every year."

"So compared to your achievements, two hundred thousand taels of gold is really not much."

Neither Hua Tuo nor Zhang Zhongjing had ever served as an official in the central government. When had they ever heard of such a grand number?
But even after the emperor explained, the two still did not dare to accept such a reward.

Two hundred thousand taels of gold...

It’s enough to buy a fifth-rank official position!
With this money, you can live a wealthy life even in Chang'an where every inch of land is worth a lot of money!
I can't say that I go to brothels to listen to music every day, but going to a restaurant every day is not a problem.

When they got this money... they felt uneasy!
But they also saw the emperor's attitude.

The emperor insisted that the two of them accept the reward.

If I don't obey, I'm afraid I will really offend the emperor!

"Thank you... I'm a humble citizen!"

In fact, Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing's minds had already become a mess.

Suddenly, such a huge amount of gold fell from the sky, which they had never dared to imagine in their dreams. It really shattered their three views that they had held for a long time!
Compared to shock and joy, they are now more confused...

Seeing the two of them in confusion, Liu Xie deliberately glanced at Xun Yu to let him know -

Their gambling game officially begins now!
"The reward for you is the first thing."

Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing both pricked up their ears and hurried towards the emperor.

"You two are both famous doctors in the world. I want to hear what you think about the method of fine poison."

When Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing heard the emperor talk about their profession, the nervousness in their hearts gradually subsided and they began to handle the situation with ease, not thinking about the income of 200,000 taels of gold for the time being.

"Your Majesty, the theory of fine poison is truly the most remarkable thing in medicine since Shennong tasted hundreds of herbs!"

The theory of fine poison, which was still skeptical to the world, has been confirmed by Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing.

They have already verified that the micro-Gu does exist!
Moreover, if you verify the theory of fine poisons on symptoms, you will suddenly find that all the symptoms that are difficult to explain in medical books now have answers!

The appearance of Kong Ming Mirror also allows them to see the poisonous insect with their own eyes.

There are also rotting raw meat, maggots in food...all these things have a completely reasonable explanation under the theory of fine poisons!

If it were not for the purpose of ensuring respect for the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors, the two of them would even think that the discovery of the theory of Xi Gu was several times more important than Shennong tasting hundreds of herbs!
"now it's right."

Hearing Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing's praise for the theory of fine Gu, Liu Hui smiled knowingly.

"So are you interested in studying the micro-Gu?"

"Right on my mind!"

"Of course!"

"..."

In fact, both of them have made considerable progress in the theory of fine poison.

It was just that they were delayed by their duties as doctors on weekdays, and there were not enough conditions and environment to meet their needs, so their results were not even as good as Cao Jie, a little girl...

"I have an idea."

Liu Xie's true colors were finally revealed.

"I want you to open a private school in Chang'an to teach medicine and study the poison."

"This way, you can let the disciples you teach go and treat illnesses and save lives, without interfering with your duties as doctors."

"Secondly, you will also have enough time to study the way of fine poison."

"Thirdly, you now have a stable place to live... This will actually make it easier for patients to come find you."

"So, what do you two think?"

Opening a school...

Both of them looked embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, it takes a long time to become a doctor. How can a commoner have the energy to slowly teach a child to become a doctor?"

It takes at least ten years to train a qualified doctor.

Not to mention that training doctors is bound to be laborious and time-consuming.

How could Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing have the energy to cultivate talents?
Liu Xie immediately apologized: "I didn't make it clear."

"This school is not designed to teach you from childhood."

"It is stipulated that only those who have mastered the art of medicine can enter."

"The level of the students admitted will be determined by the two of you. I will not interfere."

"So, do you think it's okay?"

Not a Mengtong?

Instead, directly recruit experienced doctors?
How is this teaching?

Isn't this clearly an exchange meeting?
Wait…communication?
Hua Tuo suddenly remembered that some time ago, Cao Jie taught him the method of moving qi and blood without any reservation.

No interests, no conditions.

It was just the most essential communication, discussing medicine...

What the emperor is talking about...isn't it exactly the environment he has always dreamed of?
Seeing that Hua Tuo showed an interested look, Liu Xie decided to strike while the iron was hot.

“You don’t have to worry about funding at all.”

"Not to mention that these doctors can earn money from treating patients and support the school."

"You can invest the 200,000 taels of gold into your business and use the profits to support the development of the school!"

"In this case, this school will surely be built soon, right?"

……

Hua Tuo and Zhang Zhongjing were still confused.

But Jia Xu and Xun Yu, who had been in officialdom for a long time, saw it at a glance -

The emperor doesn't want to pay a penny!
But even without paying a penny, it seems that this thing can be done?
