Chapter 108 The Value of the Surgeon's Master Hand

“The adults said that any farmer who castrates pigs will receive additional subsidies for pig feed.

If a piglet dies after being castrated, I will compensate you according to the market price."

Wei Jiu stood up and spoke to them on behalf of Mu Qing.

“Will they really subsidize the money for pig feed?”

"Yes, this is the first year. You won't get this treatment in the second year. You can think about it slowly. We are all in Xiaowa Village today and will leave tomorrow."

The villagers of Xiaowa Village heard it.

If they can subsidize the pig feed a little, every bit counts. They don't have to save their own food to feed the pigs, and they can also make some money from selling the pigs to subsidize the family income.

They had no worries at that moment.

The pigs raised in Xiaowa Village were all just bought from the county. They are not big, only about four days old.

Li Min went in and took a look around. The environment and sanitation were all pretty good.

There is no electrolyzed water to disinfect the pig pens here. There are not many pigs in one pen, and the pigs are separated as much as possible to avoid crowding.

Xu Yi had been staying indoors for some time. He heard that a doctor had come from Anping and was here to teach him some skills.

Xu Yi sent the man away without even listening to the man's words.

He sat in a recliner and leisurely read a medical book until a servant said that another doctor from Mingde County, Tang Li, wanted to see him.

Tang Li is a rare female doctor. There are not many doctors in Mingde County. The Tang family has been practicing medicine for three generations, and the family clinic has always been passed down to males, not females.

By the time of Tang Li's generation, Tang Li had two older brothers, so logically speaking, the medical clinic would not be passed on to Tang Li.

Unfortunately, the eldest brother died at the age of ten, and the second brother was also weak and sickly.

Tang Li had been exposed to traditional Chinese medicine since she was a child, so identifying medicinal materials was no problem for her. She had been helping her father before she came of age.

Fortunately, Tang's father was open-minded, so Tang Li was exposed to a lot of medical knowledge. When she reached the age of 15, Tang Li no longer went to the clinic.

Gradually, the second brother's illness became more serious. All the money earned by the clinic was used to subsidize the second brother's medicine. It was a year of famine, and the clinic gradually went out of business.

It was only after the Zhao family went bankrupt that the Tang family's clinic received support and recovered.

Tang's father had never considered letting Tang Li inherit the clinic, but the Tang family clinic was Tang's father's hard work. It was only after he learned that the county government was recruiting female officials that he paid attention to his daughter who had been with him since childhood.

Father Tang has always been in contact with news from the outside world.

The two things, the female official and the fact that Anping Textile Factory only recruited female workers, shocked Tang's father greatly.

The second son was weak, and when Tang's father started to consider letting his youngest daughter take over the clinic, he discovered that Tang Li had not forgotten the medicinal knowledge he had taught him before.

Perhaps because he was influenced by medicine since childhood, Tang Li was very passionate about medicine. After studying for less than a year, he gradually learned how to read the pulse and prescribe the right medicine.

Tang Li is seventeen years old and has not yet married. Seeing that Tang Li is very talented, his father has always kept him by his side, teaching him the medical knowledge he learned from his father.

Tang Li worked hard and learned the four techniques of observation, auscultation and palpation very quickly. Although there was controversy in the outside world about a young woman practicing medicine, Tang Li still insisted on treating patients in the clinic to gain experience.

Because Tang Li is familiar with common cold symptoms and is good at treating them, he has gained a good reputation.

There were few female doctors in this era, so aristocratic families trained special gynecologists to treat the female members of their families.

It was different for ordinary people at the bottom of society. Whether it was because of money or because of the strict separation between men and women in that era, they seldom went out to see a doctor.

Midwives are somewhat related to gynecology, but that's only the aspect of childbirth.

In normal times, for some gynecological diseases, ordinary people in Anping, whether married women or unmarried girls, do not like or dare to go to the clinic.

I'm afraid of being accused of being unfaithful.

After Tang Li worked as a doctor at the Tang Family Clinic, more women in Mingde County went out to seek medical treatment.

Tang Li is a female doctor with a good reputation, and women also like to see her for treatment.

In this way, with Tang Li in the Tang family, the number of female patients increased a lot. With the support of the government, the clinic would not be unable to make ends meet and could even make a lot of money.

Tang Li knew that Mu Qing was promoting castration of pigs.

She originally thought that this had little to do with their medicine until Li Min came to Mingde.

It was Tang's father who came out to meet the patients in the Tang family clinic. He did not see Li Min and just stayed indoors like Xu Yi.

Tang Li had seen many patients and had many sources of information, especially an old lady from the family of a scholar whom he had met before.

Tang Li accidentally learned from her that the person who came to Mingde County to teach technology was Li Min, a ulcer doctor from Guangsha.

Mu Qing asked the doctors in Mingde County to learn how to castrate pigs.

Tang Li has been exposed to traditional Chinese medicine since she was a child. Her father is a symptomatic doctor. She wants to learn more about this. This kind of knowledge is somewhat related to symptomatic medicine, so she wants to learn it.

But after learning about this, Tang's father did not go himself, nor did he let Tang Li go. He believed that castration of pigs was done by butchers and had nothing to do with them as doctors.

Tang Li told his father the news only after he found out that it was Li Min who came to Mingde County to teach them how to castrate pigs.

The Tang family has been practicing medicine for three generations, but the medical tradition has not been passed down.

Relying only on the medical knowledge their family had learned from other doctors, they might be able to open a small clinic.

Unless someone of noble character wants to help you, this is the end of the road.

Physicians for diseases and doctors for ulcers have always been at odds with each other, but that was only the case with those doctors of high status.

People like the Tang family had heard of Li Min's reputation in Guangsha, and naturally respected Li Min very much.

This time, Tang's father did not stop Tang Li. Although it was only knowledge about castrating pigs, he could still gain something from learning a little knowledge of ulcer medicine from Li Minru.

Tang Li knew that his father had rejected Li Min at the beginning and he felt embarrassed to go, so he let Tang Li go.

Tang Li represented the Tang family and went to Xiaowa Village alone, which was contrary to the consensus reached with other doctors in Mingde County to stay indoors.

Therefore, Tang Li came to Xu Yi's house to tell him that if Xu Yi went with her, he would not be excluded by other clinics in the future.

Tang Li is considered the heir of the Tang family to the outside world, and there are many noble ladies among her patients. Xu Yi would not offend Tang Li.

He asked someone to bring Tang Li in.

Tang Li was in a hurry to go to Xiaowa Village to find Li Min. She spoke quickly and concisely:

"The person who came to Mingde this time is Li Min from Guangsha."

"Li Min? Li Min, the master of ulcers?"

Xu Yi was a little dizzy from the news brought by Tang Li. How come Li Min appeared in Anping and came to Mingde?

Tang Li did not pause:

"Li Min's medical skills are better than many doctors. If Doctor Xu wants to go to Xiaowa Village, the Tang and Xu families can go together."

Tang Li told Xu Yi about her intention to go to Xiaowa Village, and she was speaking on behalf of the Tang family rather than herself.

He just asked Xu Yi directly whether he wanted to learn how to castrate pigs. If he wanted to go, they could go together. If he didn't want to go, it was up to him. The Tang family had to go anyway.

When Xu Yi heard this, he took the tea and pointed his finger at the cup, obviously hesitating.
