Chapter 179

Nian Duan, as a high-level expert of the Medical School, was the best physician of the current era.

This statement sounded arrogant, but it was indeed a fact.

This medical book compiled by her could be said to have exhausted her life's efforts. She applied everything she had learned in her life to it, describing many common illnesses in an easy-to-understand way, and then recorded all the corresponding treatment methods on it.

After Ying Zheng received this medical book and read its contents, he realized the extraordinary nature of this medical book. Then, he did not refuse Su Xuan's suggestion to circulate it throughout the world. Of course, before that, he still let many imperial physicians of the Imperial Medical Bureau read this medical book to verify whether the various treatment methods on it were feasible.

When the medical officials of the Imperial Medical Bureau saw this medical book, they were instantly amazed.

Even though the King of Qin had a noble status, he could not help but ask the King of Qin who had compiled it.

Regarding this question, Ying Zheng did not answer.

Seeing that the King of Qin was unwilling to answer, the Chief of the Imperial Medical Bureau had to put away his curiosity and then said: This medical book can serve as a model for physicians in the world!

This statement was not a low evaluation, but it also indirectly explained how few medical classics there were in the world today.

The "Emperor Neijing" and the "Nan Jing" were the two major medical classics of the contemporary era. The "Nan Jing" was slightly closer in time, coming from the hands of Bian Que, while the "Emperor Neijing" was truly too far away from the present.

In the years since the Yellow Emperor, although many medical books had appeared, they ultimately could not reach the height of these two.

And the content of this medical book was different from the "Emperor Neijing" and the "Nan Jing." Its focus was not on the theory of practicing medicine, nor on the methods of meridians and pulse diagnosis, but simply described many illnesses and then wrote down the corresponding treatment methods.

It could be said that even a person with no medical experience and no understanding of any medical theory, as long as they could read, could deal with some illnesses by following the records on it to get medicine.

After verifying the extraordinary nature of this medical book, Ying Zheng understood it in his heart, and then ordered people to copy it extensively and hand it over to the officials of various counties to make it circulate throughout the world as soon as possible.

Because there was no paper or printing technology in this era, and the literacy rate was not high, it would take some time for the medical book to circulate throughout the entire Qin State, let alone spread to the entire world.

Nian Duan had expected this long ago. Being able to see the King of Qin truly circulate the medical book to the world as Su Xuan said, she was already quite satisfied. In addition, the devices created by Leader Liuzhi Liuzhi Heixia to exchange for Yan Dan's soul had already been put into use in the fields of the Qin State. Nian Duan had looked at it from afar, and many people had saved human and animal labor because of it.

The Qin State was really very different from the other countries she had seen.

Afterwards, she took her disciple Duanmu Rong and began to work on another thing.

According to Su Xuan, there were many herbs in the world, and some herbs looked the same as wild grass on the roadside. People who did not know the reasons were difficult to distinguish. If there was a book specifically recording the appearance and medicinal properties of herbs, that would be good.

Nian Duan was moved by Su Xuan, so she led Duanmu Rong, with the help of the Wood and Metal Departments of the Yin-Yang School, to start compiling the "Compendium of Materia Medica" of this era. Compared to the previous medical book, the difficulty of this medical book was extremely high, but Nian Duan had confidence. If it could be successfully compiled, it could benefit physicians in the world and become a well-deserved medical classic, enough to be mentioned in the same breath as the "Emperor Neijing" and the "Nan Jing."

Everyone had their own things to do.

Ying Zheng needed to govern this huge country well. Nian Duan, with the unwilling but realistic Duanmu Rong who had joined the Yin-Yang School and lived in the Qin State, began to compile the "Compendium of Materia Medica." Yan Dan was still a hostage in the Qin State, working hard to study the secret of the Qin State's power. Han Fei and others were also gradually adapting to life in the Qin State.

What about Su Xuan?

Su Xuan was cultivating!

Originally, when the medical book was circulating in the world, he had thought about whether to bring out paper and supporting printing technology, but after thinking about it, he finally gave up. Devoting energy to this aspect, he did not know how much time it would waste. It was better to wait until the time was right to state the corresponding theory and let others study it. He had not cultivated hard for a long time.

Since mastering the "Divine Movement" technique and initially nourishing the Yin Spirit, allowing the Yin Spirit to leave the body, he became more and more addicted to the feeling of the Yin Spirit leaving the body and taking souls. To this extent, it finally had a bit of the flavor of cultivating immortality. Otherwise, although there was also the technique of flying swords, it always felt like something was missing.

But due to his weak magic power, even if his Yin Spirit left his body, it could not stay outside for too long, and the distance between the Yin Spirit and the body could not be too far. To change this problem, he could only cultivate more diligently and enhance his strength.

Time passed slowly.

The ninth year of King Zheng of Qin passed just like that. Since April, when Ying Zheng held his capping ceremony in Yongcheng, executed Lao Ai, and then dismissed Lu Lu Buwei from the position of Chancellor, officially taking power, until July or August, when the Nanyang area of the Han State suffered a great drought, the Qin State launched troops to conquer the Han State and destroyed it in one fell swoop. After a few more months, although not many things happened, this year finally came to an end.

Similarly, this year was also an extraordinary year.

From the capping ceremony to personal rule, and then to destroying a country, Ying Zheng only spent a few months, and his steps were indeed a bit too big.

Compared to the events that happened in the ninth year of King Zheng of Qin, the tenth year of King Zheng of Qin seemed a bit calm.
