Chapter 159
Su Xuan continued, "Mr. Nianduan said earlier that the Dao of medicine is not easy. I quite agree with this sentence. If someone without a foundation wants to learn medical skills, it is indeed extremely difficult. However, in my Yin-Yang School, there are five departments. Among them, the people of the Gold Department are proficient in alchemy and medicine, and there is the Wood Department, which understands the principles of herbs. Although their medical skills are not as good as Mr. Nianduan's, they are definitely talents that can be cultivated."
"Besides this, I have another idea, which is to compile a medical book!"
"A medical book?"
Nianduan raised her eyebrows slightly.
Su Xuan nodded and said, "That's right. Although the Dao of medicine is obscure and difficult to understand, there are only a few common diseases. You only need to write the methods for treating these diseases in a medical book. Even if that person does not understand medicine, as long as they are literate, they can prescribe the right medicine according to the book and solve these common diseases."
"If this medical book is compiled and then spread throughout the world, many people can be saved because of it!"
"It's just a pity that I am weak alone and unable to complete this matter. I wonder if Mr. Nianduan is willing to stay in Qin to help me accomplish this?"
Su Xuan looked at Nianduan and asked repeatedly.
In the original work, Yan Dan could pull Duanmurong, a famous doctor, into the Mohist camp by repeatedly lobbying her. Since the Mohists could do such things, Su Xuan could also do such things.
Pull Nianduan into the Yin-Yang School!
After hearing Su Xuan's words, how could Nianduan not know that Su Xuan had come prepared!
The other party was determined to tie her to Qin and pull her into the Yin-Yang School.
She had previously said that the Dao of medicine was complex and difficult for ordinary people to enter, and he immediately said that there were two departments in the Yin-Yang School: the Gold Department was proficient in alchemy and medicine, and the Wood Department understood the principles of herbs. This was a response to her previous words.
She had said she did not want to have any dealings with the King of Qin, and Su Xuan gave a new option: join the Yin-Yang School and teach the Yin-Yang disciples. That way, the King of Qin would not need to fund the establishment of a school, and many healers could still be taught.
Of course, these were not the most critical points.
The most critical point was the proposal Su Xuan made later, which really moved Nianduan.
Since the Spring and Autumn and Warring States periods, many eloquent scholars of the Hundred Schools of Thought have written books and established their theories, which have been widely circulated, not only becoming famous in the world but also being passed down to future generations, leaving their names in history forever.
Nianduan did not seek to leave her name in history forever, but if she could create a medical book useful to the present and future generations, she would naturally not hesitate to do so.
Su Xuan's words made a lot of sense.
There are many diseases that are not complex, but because the patients cannot get timely medical treatment, they eventually die. If a medical book could be compiled, as long as the person reading the book is literate, they could prescribe the right medicine and treat the illness according to the book, and there is a high probability that they could be cured.
Although these are all common minor illnesses, if this move succeeds, at least many people's lives can be saved. After all, the world is too big.
"Master!"
After hearing Su Xuan's later words, Duanmurong could not help but look at her master, Nianduan.
If Su Xuan were not from Qin, and this were not Qin, facing such a proposal, especially the grand feat Su Xuan spoke of, she might have agreed. But precisely because this was Qin, and the Yin-Yang School was used by Qin, Duanmurong hesitated.
She could not help but look at her master, not knowing what her master was thinking.
Was she going to continue to maintain her previous attitude, or... was she wavering?
Nianduan seemed not to have heard Duanmurong's words. She began to think seriously about Su Xuan's proposal. After thinking for a long time, even though she was very moved, she did not answer Su Xuan immediately, but said to Su Xuan, "Regarding your proposal, I need to consider it carefully."
"That is as it should be."
Su Xuan was an understanding person. If the other party wanted to consider it, he was never stingy with giving them time to consider, just like when he invited Zinu to return to the Yin-Yang School in Zhangtai Palace earlier, Zinu also said she needed to consider it.
It's just that he didn't know how she was considering it now.
After Su Xuan exchanged medical skills with Nianduan and expressed his intention to recruit her, he left.
"Master, are you really going to agree to his invitation?"
After Su Xuan left, Duanmurong hurriedly asked Nianduan.
Nianduan was silent for a while and said, "Whether to agree or not, I still need to look around in this country and consider it further before I can give an answer."
When she said this, it proved that she was indeed moved.
……
Nianduan and her apprentice continued to stroll around in Qin, observing this country that could be called mysterious to them.
Su Xuan also returned to the Yin-Yang School and formally fulfilled his duties as leader.
Usually, besides cultivation, he would occasionally try to guide the cultivation of the Yin-Yang School members and modify or add to the Yin-Yang arts.
However, although he was in a semi-cultivation state, he still knew something about the events after the fall of Han.
First of all, because Han was the first country to fall, and because the Qin army reached the outskirts of Xinzheng and the people in the city surrendered voluntarily, Ying Zheng treated the captives of Han quite generously.
Ji Ji Yihu, who helped Qin easily take Xinzheng, was rewarded by Ying Zheng.
Regardless of what kind of person Ji Ji Yihu was, this time, he had indeed made a great contribution.
However, from the fact that he took the initiative to betray his country for glory in the face of a national disaster, don't expect Ying Zheng to reuse him. The reward at this moment was just to reassure him. After the affairs of Han were over, it would be time for Ying Zheng to settle accounts with him.
Besides Ji Ji Yihu, the culprit who directly caused the fall of Han.
The others, such as the Crown Prince of Han and the Fourth Young Master Han Yu, were also given titles by Ying Zheng and then kept in Xianyang. It seemed like generous treatment, but it was not.
Before Ying Zheng gave them titles, they were either young masters, feudal lords, or crown princes, and their status was already extraordinary. Accepting Ying Zheng's reward was equivalent to recognizing Ying Zheng as king and considering themselves as subjects.
But they had no choice but to accept. In the end, if they didn't accept, they would have to die. If they accepted, they could live as a wealthy man. Of course, this so-called living was also living under the surveillance of Qin.
To put it bluntly, after the fall of Han, their life and death were no longer in their own hands. Even being treated generously now was because the King of Qin saw that Han was the first to fall and for the sake of Han Fei.
For the rest of their lives, they were just pigs raised in a pigsty by the King of Qin.
Sometimes, being a pig is actually quite good. At least, you don't have to worry about state affairs or the people.
The premise is that they can walk out of the destruction of their country.
Some people walked out of this matter as time passed, while others were brooding and could not forget it for a long time.
Not long after the banquet held by Ying Zheng in Zhangtai Palace that day, Wei Zhuang resolutely left Han.
In the confrontation with Gai Nie, he lost, and Han had already fallen.
Now, there was not much time left until that decisive battle. He needed to find more powerful strength, not only to defeat Gai Nie but also to defeat Su Xuan.
Before this, Wei Zhuang only thought that Su Xuan was extremely powerful, and every time he saw Su Xuan, he could not help but be shocked by the power he possessed.
But after the fall of Han, he felt his own weakness from the bottom of his heart.
If he could have been stronger that day and defeated Su Xuan, he would not have been robbed of his grain by Su Xuan, which led to the fall of Han so quickly.
The fall of Han was indirectly related to him.
Wei Zhuang's departure was a matter of course for Su Xuan. It was Zinu who did not follow Wei Zhuang, which surprised him. It seems that as time passed, Zinu also gradually made a decision.
On this day, Su Xuan saw Zinu.
Behind her was Nongyu.
Han fell, and many officials and their families in Xinzheng became captives. Some people's ends might not be very good, but Nongyu and the others were all treated generously because of Han Fei. Her mother, Lady Hu, and her aunt, Lady Hu, were all pardoned and now lived in Xianyang as ordinary people.
"Welcome back, Zinu!"
After getting a positive answer from Zinu, Su Xuan said this to her.
