Chapter 251

After leaving Hefei, Su Fan and his party continued north. In less than half a month, they beheaded one or two thousand of Yuan Shu's troops in this Xiaca area. Afterwards, Yuan Shu's generals seemed to have discovered something wrong and sent experts to investigate, but they were killed by Xu Chu in one second.

Perhaps because of wariness, for the next period of time, Su Fan and his party did not discover any teams going out to plunder grain. Thus, they finally left Xiaca.

Heading to Nanyang Commandery.

The first goal of the trip was over, and the next was Su Fan's second goal: Zhang Zhongjing of Nanyang.

Zhang Zhongjing of Nanyang, the Medical Sage of Huaxia, his *Treatise on Cold Damage and Miscellaneous Diseases* influenced countless physicians.

His contribution, in history, was also incomparable; otherwise, he would not have been sealed as a Sage.

For such a talent, Su Fan naturally would not let him go, and Su Fan suspected that Zhang Zhongjing was very likely a person of the Medical School.

The Hundred Schools of Thought of the Pre-Qin period, each had very powerful energy.

Although the Mohist School was now down and out, it radiated extreme brilliance in Su Fan's Donghai Territory.

Rather than saying Su Fan achieved them, it was better to say they achieved the current Donghai Territory. Without these Mohist disciples constantly building, could the Donghai Territory develop to this point?

Even if Su Fan had heaven-defying ability, he could not do it.

Each school had great ability.

The Mohist School could enhance the hundred crafts, and the Medical School also had their unique abilities.

Medicine, placed in the Earth of later generations, was also a top-level discipline. In this fantasy world, the Medical Dao could not be underestimated.

Under Su Fan's rule, now unaffected by war, peaceful and harmonious, so more and more babies were born.

But the survival rate of babies in ancient times was quite low. Even in a fantasy world, it was the same.

Perhaps those high-gate children had various means to protect babies, but the bottom-level commoners could not.

Born from poverty, the nutrition of the baby's mother was not good, so the survival rate of many babies was less than 70%.

In the era of war, it was even lower, because adults could not survive, let alone babies.

In Su Fan's Donghai Territory, there was no one who would be starved to death. As long as you were not lazy, you could support yourself, and even support a family.

However, the survival rate of babies was still a troubling problem. Su Fan, whether to fight for the world or to obtain the favor of humanity luck,

had to use a huge population. In chaotic times, he could absorb a batch of refugees, but as time passed, the warlords of all sides were not fools. They would perceive the flow of population under their rule and would inevitably be vigilant and make reactions.

Do not look at the ancients as fools. Did they not know the importance of population?

Naturally, they knew it very well. Once they discovered it, they would definitely stop the flow of population.

By that time, it would be difficult for him to obtain population, unless he unified the world early.

But obviously, he could not do it now. He did have hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers and millions of militia.

But relying on these alone, he could not directly push the world.

This was a fantasy world, not a historical plane. If it were a historical plane, he would have taken action long ago. Hundreds of thousands of elite soldiers, placed in a historical plane, were only possessed by those unified dynasties, and they were still in a state of peak prosperity.

But in this world, although his elite soldiers were the most numerous, it only allowed him to occupy an advantage, and the advantage was not enough.

He knew that unifying the world required time, constantly consuming the effective strength of other warlords, and then taking down the whole world in one fell swoop.

This time, perhaps it might take ten or twenty years, or even fifty years.

Such a long time was enough for one or two generations to grow up. If the survival rate of babies under his rule could reach that of later generations,

then in ten or twenty years, the number of commoners under his rule would absolutely explode.

Wanting to increase the survival rate of babies, Su Fan knew some. One was a clean environment, and the second was to improve the baby's resistance.

Of course, he roughly knew these two points. Su Fan also knew that it definitely did not stop there. So Su Fan thought, if he had no way, then did these Medical School people not have it?

Even if they did not have it now, let them research it. His Donghai Territory was not what it was at the beginning.

Weren't those Mohist craftsmen constantly researching to have the current appearance?

Zhang Zhongjing, as the Medical Sage, entered his eyes. Of course, there were three great divine doctors in the late Han Dynasty: Zhang Zhongjing, Hua Tuo, and Dong Feng.

Hua Tuo had no trace, and Dong Feng had not been born yet, so the best choice was Zhang Zhongjing; he was the easiest to find.

Of course, Su Fan did not just choose Zhang Zhongjing; he was just one of his goals. Others, such as Daoist people, were also among his goals.

Generally, Daoist health preservation also had a lot of understanding of the Medical Dao, especially in the area of health preservation, which the Daoist School was most proficient in.

Originally, the old Daoist Yu Ji in the south was also his goal, but it was a pity that the other party was elusive and was truly not easy to find.

So Su Fan could only let the Dark Owls pay more attention.

Fortunately, Su Fan knew that Yu Ji was not like the Nanhua Laoxian; Yu Ji was better at preaching, and there were many legends of the old immortal Yu Ji in the south, which meant that he still attached more importance to the Daoist School.

The Daoist Gate at this time was not like the later Daoist Gate. At this time, the Daoist Gate, although it also walked the upper level, did not forget the bottom level.

To talk about bewitching people, the Daoist Gate was not worse than the Buddhist Gate.

After all, the Yellow Turban Rebellion had just passed, and not only the Yellow Turban Rebellion, but there was also the Sun En Rebellion in the Eastern Jin Dynasty.

These were all Daoist people bewitching the world to rebel.

To talk about bewitching people, the Daoist Gate was even more powerful. When did you see the Buddhist Gate being able to lead people to rebel?

The reason for this was that the influence of the Daoist Gate was not only among the people but also could influence the upper level, so it had the ability to rebel.

The Buddhist Gate could not.

The reason why the Daoist Gate later seemed not to have the influence among the people like the Buddhist Gate was that after two rebellions, the Imperial Court began to be wary.

After all, if you kept inciting rebellion, who could stand it?

Of course, there were also Daoist people who felt that the bottom-level commoners did not have much effect on the Daoist Gate, so it was better to walk the upper level.

Just like Lin Lingsu of the Song Dynasty, this was a ruthless person. You must know that after the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Buddhist Gate became more and more powerful, and later, because of its powerful strength, it forced the emperor to order the extermination of Buddhism.

In the Song Dynasty, the Buddhist Gate was also very powerful.

But this person had extraordinary means. Under his instigation, Huizong issued an edict: "Buddhism changed its name to Great Awakened Golden Immortal, and the rest were Immortals and Bodhisattvas. Monks were Virtuous Scholars, changed their clothing and surnames. Temples were Temples, and courtyards were Temples. Changed female crowns to female Daoists, and nuns to female virtues."

The Daoist Gate had extraordinary means. Yu Ji, as one of the three immortals of the late Han Dynasty, had a Daoist cultivation that was absolutely not worse than the Nanhua Laoxian.

Such a character, if he could be drawn to the Donghai Territory, would inevitably have a great effect on the Donghai Territory.

After all, the Daoist Gate was also quite proficient in the path of runes.
