546 Shocked to the point of being unable to move
Sun Sicheng recalled that the old abbot had indeed said this before he died, but everyone was panicked at the time and did not pay attention to the meaning of his words.
The old abbot is good at fortune-telling. Did Ping An really have such an adventure?
"Master, the formation is very difficult. If it weren't for the Taoist master coming into my dreams several times to teach me, no matter how smart I am, I wouldn't be able to do it. How can a child of a few years old understand so much?
The old abbot only appeared in my dream once, and he didn’t teach me anything. He said he was going to be reincarnated, and that he wanted to be an ordinary person in his next life, and didn’t want to be a lonely and lonely temple guarding for the rest of his life. He also asked me to be a good official and a good doctor, and that I should never let Lin Feng leave, saying that if Lin Feng left, something bad would happen to me.
Ping'an felt a little sad. The old abbot left too hastily. It would have been better if he could have taught him more in his dream like the Taoist master did. Now he had to start working and organize medical books. He really had no time to learn things like the I Ching.
But these things are really useful to learn.
Sun Sicheng was so shocked that he couldn't move.
The abbot did say that Lin Feng’s fate could only be suppressed by peace.
What kind of apprentice did you take?
Taoist Priest Hu was a legendary figure in the Great Zhou Dynasty. He attached so much importance to Ping An that he did not hesitate to enter his dreams to teach him.
He remembered Ping An's words. The Taoist priest wanted to take Ping An to another world. Did he really want to rob his disciple?
That definitely won’t work.
Am I really going to live to be a hundred years old and then die with Ping An?
This is also feasible. He is in good health and with some more conditioning, it seems possible.
"Master, what are you thinking about?"
"Ping An, what do you want to do by telling Master all this today?"
Sun Sicheng naturally would not say that he had just thought of how to take care of his body so that he could live to be a hundred years old.
"Master, remember I once told you that I wanted to run a medical school? This is my dream, but after thinking it over again and again, I think it's not suitable for the time being. But we can do something else, which is a hospital.
In layman's terms, it is a large medical clinic, as big as a college. There is a row of rooms in the front for doctors to sit and see patients, and there are several rows of rooms in the back with small single rooms for people to stay and see a doctor or recuperate. Women are also seen by female doctors, and doctors take turns to be on duty at night.
Although medical skills are flourishing nowadays and each clinic has its own secret recipes, they are only limited to a few large clinics. When ordinary people have an emergency and want to see a doctor, they often have to rush to the county town or even the provincial capital for several days and nights, but when they arrive, the doctor may have left and they can't find him at all.
If no matter how many patients come, there will be a place to stay, and if they fall ill at night, there will be doctors to see them, wouldn’t that be much better than the current medical clinics?
I compiled the medical theories and prescriptions taught by these Taoist priests just because I wanted to do this, and also to prepare for the possibility of setting up a medical school in the future.
The Sun family is not short of money, and the master respectfully calls everyone the eldest master. Let me tell you something, please don't be angry, but by Brother Changqing's generation, he can probably only maintain the old medical skills, and may not have the courage of the master in business.
Changyuan and Changzhi obviously don’t want to be doctors. They are almost my age, but they only know a little bit about medicine and spend most of their energy on studying.
Sun Sicheng sighed.
This is exactly what he was worried about. Changqing was willing to learn, but his talent was limited. He was too gentle and his aura was not strong enough to overpower others. Fortunately, the emperor bestowed the title on him, which could be passed down for three generations.
Changyuan and Changzhi do not like to study medicine. One is 19 and the other is 18 years old this year. They are both scholars and it will take another two years for them to take the imperial examination.
The fourth generation of the Sun family is worrying.
“Master, if you are willing, I will open a hospital with you. We will open it in the capital first, and then go to the provincial capitals when the conditions are ripe.
The name of the hospital will be Baicao Hospital. You will be the first director of the hospital. Brother Changqing and I will be vice-directors, and Brother Changqing will be the next director.
When he is able to take over everything, I won't even work half a day. I will just accompany my master to travel around and practice medicine, free and unrestrained.
The hospital also has a pharmacy, where all kinds of medicine can be sold. Isn't this killing two birds with one stone? You can make money and gain fame at the same time?"
Of course Sun Sicheng was tempted.
Ping An said that the Sun family is not short of money and their assets are spread across the Great Zhou, but when he gets old, he doesn’t know if the next generation will be able to keep it going.
But if we open a hospital on a large scale and it is the first one in Da Zhou, its reputation will naturally rise. This is better than running a medical school. A medical school is also good, as it can produce many students all over the world in the future. However, if too many doctors are taught, it will inevitably affect the business of some people and cause some public anger behind the scenes.
His old man and his father were extremely unwilling to give away the good recipe.
As for the prescriptions in Ping An's books, which one can't make money and can't be passed down? Even if it was him, he wouldn't be willing to give it up.
Running a hospital is different. Baicaotang may get a share of the business, but Baicao Hospital is still their own, so the meat is still rotten in the pot.
If Ping An can organize a dozen medical books, the benefits it will bring will be significant.
"Ping An, Master has agreed. I will go back and discuss this with your Grandmaster and Great Grandmaster.
Later, you should carefully organize the medical theories taught by the Taoist priest, compile some of the main prescriptions into a book, and make them into medicines in batches to sell, but you have to release them bit by bit, and no more than two new medicines a year.
Our two families will build the hospital together, each paying half, and the Sun family will pay for it. Don't interfere. The Sun family has a good foundation, right on East Street, but not in the downtown area, so it won't cost much to build a house.
You must keep the prescriptions that the Taoist priest gave you well, and only take out one or two a year. The profits from making them into finished medicines will be shared equally with each family."
"Master, this won't work, unless the hospital also takes half of the money. That's it, one family takes half. Master, I have money, and the Sun family is not just you, there is also the second uncle's family. After a long time, it will be unclear. I like to keep it clean."
Sun Sicheng glared at her and said, "Are you stupid? The prescription is the most valuable. The Sun family will charge the cost of the medicinal materials, and the same goes for yours. I will set up the hospital, and you must not tell anyone about these medical books.
Ping An, Master is not worried about anything else, but whether your brother Chang Qing can take on the responsibility in the future. It would be great if he had the same personality as you."
"Master, after a few years of training, Brother Changqing will be able to stand on his own. Adults always think that children are not good enough, but they never think that they have not given them enough opportunities to practice."
He simply talked to his master about his thoughts and so on.
"Master, three years should be enough for preparation, but it will affect the income of Baicaotang to some extent."
Sun Sicheng's heart was surging when he heard this. If it was feasible, he would definitely give it a try. What is the purpose of life? When you have no money, you want to make money. When you have money, you want to be famous. Now what he wants is to be the best in the Great Zhou Dynasty and let the names of Sun Sicheng and Wan Ping'an live forever.
"Master, I have an idea, do you think it's feasible?
Running a hospital requires many doctors. Qingshi, Wujun, Xiaochen, and Wenzhu have been with me for many years. Their medical skills are sufficient, but their status is not enough. Can I accept them as apprentices? In this way, they will be the apprentices of my little medical saint. Some wealthy families will come to see them for treatment. If we are away from home, they will not be discriminated against.
But in this case, will the first group of people who followed me, such as Da Wu, Xiao Shan, Lin Feng, Yuan Qing, Tong Lin, Fang Wu, feel wronged? They all followed me when they were young. If one is a disciple and the other is a guard, their identities will be somewhat different. "
Sun Sicheng laughed.
"What grievances can they have? I have never seen a better master than you. At the beginning, there were only more than 20 people with you. Later, you said that you would let Wanhua take the industry to various places. Wanhua travels around all year round, so he needs people around him.
Even if you accept them as your disciples, you will treat them the same as Da Wu and the others in the future. Try to treat them equally, and they will not mind it. "
