Chapter 716: Inventory of Harvest
What is a saint?
The saint is the one who knows everything, the way, and the voice. The way knows everything, the light shines everywhere, and one knows everything when hearing the voice.
Since the beginning of the ancient times, saints have emerged among the people, lighting fires to illuminate the world and lighting the way forward.
Human beings rose from humble beginnings, became magnificent and dazzling, and over thousands of years, became the most intelligent creatures in the world. How great is their status?
The hymn of life blooms among people, as abundant as flowers at dawn. 】
[The side story of the Medical Saint has ended and is being settled for you. ]
[Dear master, your descendant Luo Xuan is the master of Luo family's medical knowledge over the past 1,300 years. He has the most compassionate heart of a doctor, he has the most acute talent of a doctor, his will is like the majestic Mount Tai, like the surging river, it will never change and will never cease for a hundred generations.
Compared with the endless rivers, human life is so short and insignificant; compared with the morning mushroom or cicada, how long is it?
If you can't have the best of both worlds, how do you choose between the length and width of life?
Luo Xuan's life was short, but brilliant and wonderful to the extreme. 】
[Taking stock of Luo Xuan's major achievements, he established the Medical Association, which will surely go down in history. His body died this summer, but his spirit will always exist in each entity.
He and Zhang Zhongjing compiled "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases" based on Luo's books. He went deep into the plague and independently compiled two books, "Treatise on Tuberculosis" and "Treatise on Hot and Cold Syndromes". Since then, in the field of medicine, he has far surpassed the sages of all dynasties and opened up new paths for future generations.
Luo Xuancun left behind a book called "Neijing Fa", which was written to comment on "Huangdi Neijing". Huangdi Neijing used hands to touch the surface of the human body to sense organs and meridians, while "Neijing Fa" directly dissected the inside.
This is the first complete anatomical work in the history of China. It was born from Luo Xuan's hands. I would like to congratulate him.
Luo Xuan ended a great plague, which should have devastated the areas south of the Huai River, killing six or seven out of ten people. Although there are still a million corpses today, there are more survivors.
Punishment from heaven is called fate, and plague is called disease.
Luo Xuan treated the disease and God took his life.
He saw the sun rise, the light come, and the end of death.
A saint is born! 】
[You have obtained 5,000 luck points, and you have obtained the Earth-level item: Heart of the Medical Saint. ]
[Earth Rank: Heart of the Medical Saint (Who is the savior? The Medical Saint!): This item can only be used by the direct descendants of the Luo family. When the direct descendants of the Luo family activate this item, as the Luo family's children offer sacrifices and the medical path develops, heart blood will seep out of the Holy Heart. After taking the heart blood, one will gain the medical aura. Those who gain the medical aura will enter the stage of medical enlightenment at a special moment. Please explore the specific situation yourself.]
Ji Zhao hadn’t seen the system conduct so many briefings for such a long time. Is this the treatment for the protagonist of a plot?
Or is it because Luo Xuan is an extremely rare saint since the pre-Qin period?
Even though the Luo family had stricter requirements for their own children, Luo Xuan's life was too perfect. He ended his life when his prestige was at its highest, and he died at the greatest time of his life.
Who could possibly find fault with him?
There will be one more disciple of the Luo family in the Holy Temple of the Luo family's disciples.
The amount of praise the system received was so great that it even surpassed those of the sons of former regents, which made Ji Zhao feel very impressed.
But if you think about it carefully, although Luo Xuan is not one of those political figures and does not have that much influence on the political and military affairs of the time, his greatness is unquestionable when viewed on the scale of thousands of years.
Those kings, princes, generals and ministers will gradually be forgotten, not to mention on a scale of thousands of years, even on a scale of hundreds of years.
For example, if you ask people to name all the ministers of a certain dynasty a hundred years ago, most people will not be able to remember them, except for those who are very familiar with history.
But Luo Xuan would not be like that. As long as there is medicine in this world, his name will be engraved in history forever.
5,000 luck points, this is the system's recognition of Luo Xuan.
Earth-level items are also quite precious. Such powerful items have not appeared in the system for a long time. The Heart of the Medical Saint is truly worthy of its name.
Ji Zhao stretched out his hand and held the heart in his own. It seemed to be still beating slightly. It was bright red, quite similar to the Bi Xue Dan Xin of the past, but the color and pattern were different.
The effect of this item is quite amazing. Although the introduction says that it can only bring about an epiphany at a critical moment, how could Ji Zhao not know it?
Most of the progress in this world is the result of a little bit of enlightenment and flash of inspiration at that critical moment. Just that moment of inspiration can even drive progress for dozens or even hundreds of years.
Now that he can have this kind of epiphany at the critical moment by taking his heart blood, Ji Zhao has begun to imagine to what extent medicine will develop in the future?
However, Ji Zhao also knew that one of the main reasons why the system was so generous was that Luo Xuan had no blessings from his ancestors.
If he had the blessing of his ancestors, then according to the principle of fairness, many of Luo Xuan's achievements would be attributed to Ji Zhao, rather than being attributed to Luo Xuan himself as is the case now.
This is why the system said it was best not to interfere with Luo Xuan.
but……
Ji Zhao was silent.
Others may not know this, but Ji Zhao knew what kind of damage Luo Xuan's body and mind had suffered before his death. He did not just die from the plague because he had medicine. If it was just the plague, how could he have died?
He endured the oppression from heaven that he had not experienced for a long, long time, and then he did many things despite the oppression from heaven.
The Qin and Han dynasties ended, and Ji Zhao had many agreements with the heavens, some of which became invalid.
The Luo family, which has not been suppressed since the end of the Zhou Dynasty, can no longer act so recklessly. Anyone who goes against what should be done will pay a price in blood.
Luo Xiao is dead, Luo Kong is dead.
Ji Zhao released a ray of purple destiny, which neutralized the destiny that should have belonged to the Central Plains. Together with the blood of two people, the political situation in the late Eastern Han Dynasty was completely diverted in an unknown direction.
But the general trend of the world is more than just politics.
Luo Xuan wanted to change something, and ended up losing his life. Perhaps it was a worthy death, and he didn't feel any resentment.
How can we obtain those glories without the watering of blood?
Ji Zhao looked at the imperial destiny in his hand, stood with his hands behind his back, and countless rules appeared in front of him. Among them were the rules he and the heavens had established. They were very general, but suppressed everything. "What will the future be like?"
Nobody knows.
…
Just a few days after Luo Xuan's death, Cao Cao collected Luo Xuan's body and buried him in the best coffin.
Not long after the messenger left, Dong Zhao suddenly walked in with an unbelievable look on his face and said, "My lord, a brave warrior appeared in Runan County and said he wanted to take away Gongzi Xuan's body."
?
This was the expression of everyone present, exactly the same as Dong Zhao's. They all looked in disbelief, as if they were kidding.
Luo Xuan had only passed away a few days ago, how could Zhao Cheng know that he was already dead?
Cao Cao came back to his senses and said with a puzzled and shocked look: "Quickly invite Luo over."
There were not many brave warriors on the trip, only three hundred people, and they were led by a burly general.
It looks quite majestic at first glance.
It’s Luo Xing.
He dismounted and walked into Cao's camp, met Cao Cao with a sad face, clasped his fists and bowed, saying, "Hello, Cao Gong.
A few days ago, my uncle received a warning from the Su Wang ancestor in his dream, saying that the saint of the Luo family had died, and told us the location. We traveled day and night and came here today. Thank you Cao Gong for taking my brother away. Today we will take him to Zhaocheng for burial."
It turned out to be King Su’s warning!
Cao Cao had some doubts about the existence of King Su, but he had no doubt about the supernatural powers of the Luo family. After all, he had seen with his own eyes how the unparalleled Marquis Luo Kong killed Dong Zhuo outside the city of Luoyang with just one move.
Now that Zhaocheng has learned of Luo's son's death, it is nothing compared to the unparalleled Marquis Luo Kong who turned into a righteous man that day.
"The coffin has been opened!"
Luo Xing called out loudly, his voice carrying a long aria, which came with living in Zhaogong Kingdom for a long time.
Therefore, the Book of Han says that the people of Zhaogong were serious and cautious in their speech, which is exactly the case.
The brave warriors lifted Luo Xuan's coffin and placed it on the carriage. Everyone's face was solemn, and their hearts were full of respect for this young man who died in a foreign land.
This is the son of Luo family!
It's not just Luo Xuan.
These brave warriors all believed that any son of the Luo family would make such a decision, for the Luo family, for Zhaocheng, and for the world.
Luo Xing stroked Luo Xuan's coffin and whispered, "Ah Xuan, brother is taking you home. Once you get home, everything will be fine."
After saying that, he mounted his horse, and a group of brave warriors covered his coffin with a large phoenix flag. Although the phoenix has nothing to do with rebirth from the ashes, but at this moment the phoenix outlined by golden threads actually carried a hint of rebirth from the ashes.
"The spirit of King Su is in heaven, and his descendants are on earth. The descendants of King Su should be vigorous and make achievements to be praised by the world."
The melodious song, with a hint of sadness, faded away and left here.
…
Luo Xuan's body was taken away by Zhaogongguo, and Cao Cao and others began to deal with the aftermath.
Although Luo Xuanren died, he left behind a complete plan for dealing with the plague.
In fact, Luo Xuan had found a medicine that could cure the plague before, but that medicine was too scarce and could only be used by a few people.
Later, Luo Xuan found a very common and cheap medicine and used it as the main medicine.
Cao Cao did not care much about human life, but he was an excellent leader. I am afraid that not many people in this world understand how deep his gratitude to Luo Xuan is.
In Cao's camp.
Cao Cao and everyone else were checking the treatment of the plague during these days. Everyone was smiling. Luo Xuan's prescription was very effective. Except for those patients whose conditions were too serious, most people could be treated.
Especially since this drug is being used on humans for the first time, and there is no resistance, it works incredibly well for most people.
After putting down the data, Cao Cao said with emotion: "If there is no Gongzi Xuan in the world, how can I, Cao Cao, sit here now?
How could I, Cao Cao, obtain the present Ru'nan County?"
Everyone agreed with this, especially Guo Jia and Xi Zhicai, who nodded like chicks pecking at rice. This epidemic was really horrible. Runan County had a large population, nearly three million, which was why Yuan Shu was so powerful. However, after continuous wars, brutal rule and this epidemic, hundreds of thousands of people, nearly a million, had evaporated.
If Luo Xuan had not ended this epidemic, how many people would have been left in Runan County?
Perhaps another million people will die.
Although Runan County is now much more desolate than before, it still has a population of two million, which is a huge help to Cao Cao.
The most crucial thing is that all the princes around him are actively fighting the plague and have no time to attack him when he is not yet firmly established.
Although much weaker than previously expected, the strength has still greatly increased, and Cao Cao is ready to start a war with Yuan Shao.
Cao Cao thought for a moment and said, "Although Prince Xuan has passed away, people like him should not be forgotten by the world. I am going to report to Your Majesty and build a temple for Prince Xuan and confer a title on him.
It's a pity that he is not an official and cannot receive a posthumous title."
Xun Yu heard this and said, "My Lord, why can't this be given a posthumous title?
You can confer the title of Marquis of Guannei on Prince Xuan. He stopped the plague and made great contributions to the Han Dynasty. It is right for him to be conferred the title of marquis. With the title of marquis, you can give him a posthumous title.
But the problem is that now your majesty only has the crown of the emperor on his head, not the crown of the son of heaven, and Luo may not accept this marquisate and posthumous title. "
Cao Cao's face fell a little when he heard this. This was the most embarrassing thing he had encountered now. Zhaogong Kingdom was a foreign vassal state and Prince Xuan was a foreigner.
Now that Duke Zhao's master is gone, if you ask him to be a subject of the Han emperor, he may not be willing to do so.
If it were during the reign of Emperor Xiaowen or Emperor Xiaowu, the Kingdom of Zhao might have been willing to transform into an internal vassal state.
But now, it is good enough that the Zhao Kingdom did not drive the emperor off the throne, and he still wants to accept the submission of the Luo family. That is simply a dream.
Moreover, it was impossible for Cao Cao to accept it. After all, he was still a minister of the Han Dynasty. If he took over the Luo family now, his position in the current court would naturally be lost.
Cao Cao shook his head helplessly and said, "Forget about conferring the title of marquis and posthumous title on Prince Xuan. If one day the emperor of Zhuxia reappears in the world, then I will confer the title on him!"
There was a hint of longing in Cao Cao's voice. Xun Yu frowned slightly, and the others all looked at him intently. This topic was not something Cao Cao could touch upon at the moment.
In other words, Cao Cao is not qualified yet, and he still needs the banner of the Han Dynasty to win over many people.
Just talking about the current court and the allies and semi-allies who stand on Cao Cao's side, there are many people who do this for the sake of that puppet emperor.
If Cao Cao wanted to usurp the throne now, even his generals from the Cao and Xiahou families would certainly advise him to give up, as that would be tantamount to seeking death.
Xun Yu pondered and said, "Although the conferment of titles can be postponed, the matter of building a temple that you just mentioned, my lord, should be done without delay.
Now that Young Master Xuan has just quelled the plague alone and died as a result, his reputation is at its peak. If we do not praise Young Master Xuan at this time, I am afraid that we will certainly lose the reputation of the court and the people of the world."
Cao Cao knew it without Xun Yu telling him, not to mention that he was truly grateful to Luo Xuan, “I am one of the Three Dukes of the court, and I have made contributions after pacifying Yuan Shu.
After returning to Xuchang, I will advise His Majesty to build temples for Prince Xuan in all prefectures of the Han Dynasty. The Medical Association founded by Prince Xuan during his lifetime also made great contributions during this plague. Those who are willing to serve as officials will be given official positions and vows. Those who are still willing to practice Prince Xuan's ideals will be funded. In the future, wherever my court army goes, all members of the Medical Association will be allowed to pass through as a reward. "
No one had any opinion about Luo Xuan's funeral arrangements. They just thought that the great honors and even greater honors were worth it for what Luo Xuan had done.
Luo Xuan showed them all what it means to be a saint who will march forward even if there are tens of thousands of opponents against him, or even what it means to be a saint who is willing to sacrifice his life for the sake of righteousness.
Even if none of them could do it, it would not prevent them from having sincere admiration for Luo Xuan.
The areas that Cao Cao could influence were not only his own territory, but also the territories of many princes who recognized Liu Xie's court.
Even those areas where the plague had not broken out, such as Guanzhong, would not refuse the court's request in the face of this matter.
After all, with something like a plague, who knows if it will spread to one's own territory? And this time Luo Xuan dealt with the plague, not just this one. In the future, whenever he encounters a similar or same type of plague, he can use this medicine. It can be used with just a slight adjustment.
This can be said to be a meritorious deed of immeasurable magnitude. It has saved countless lives now, and we don’t know how many more lives will be saved in the years to come.
…
Wu County.
Luo Chu was sitting in the palace of the former King of Wu. The palace was quite spacious. He sat at the top with a solemn expression. Over the years, he was no longer the uncrowned child who had just entered Jiangdong.
Now he truly possessed the majesty of a local lord. Below him, on both sides sat many people, including the heads of the Wujun gentry, the eldest sons of the Xiao and Han families, Zhou Yu, Lu Su and others, as well as those military generals. This was an unprecedented large gathering in Jiangdong.
Various political opponents gathered here, but there was no quarrel between them.
When Luo Chu went to Runan that day, he found those corpses and started taking preventive measures. Of course, it was effective. Although the infected people could not be cured, it was able to prevent the spread of the plague.
The counties south of the Yangtze River did not have any major problems, especially Wu County, which was what Luo Chu was most worried about.
However, the problems in the three counties of Jiangxia, Jiujiang and Lujiang north of the Yangtze River were very serious, and could even be said to be second only to those in Runan County.
Jiangdong’s rule over these three counties was already weak because of the Yangtze River separating them.
The natural barrier of the Yangtze River did protect Jiangdong, but it also cut off Jiangdong's rule over the three counties, especially now that Jiangdong's ruling center is in Gusu, Wujun.
Gusu was more like a ruling center south of the Yangtze River, and it was out of reach of the three counties north of the Yangtze River.
After the plague hit, people in the three counties were in a state of unrest, and their plight was no less tragic than Cao Cao's.
Fortunately, Luo Xuan developed a medicine to treat the plague.
Lu Su was reporting the situation in Runan County to Luo Chu, "Sir, that's right. Your uncle, Gongzi Xuan, risked his life to go deep into the area where the plague was most severe, and eventually got medicine to treat the plague, but he himself died in Runan County.
Now these prescriptions for curing the plague are being spread to all forces through the Medical Association. The prescriptions are very effective, but there is a shortage of medicinal materials in the three counties, so we need to think of some solutions. "
My uncle passed away.
Luo Chu was silent for a while. Everyone in the palace knew that the Luo family had a good relationship with each other. Although Luo Xuan was called uncle, in fact, to Luo Chu, Luo Xuan was almost his biological father. Luo Chu must be feeling very uncomfortable now.
Luo Chu was sad for a while, then he collected his thoughts. This was the fate of the Luo family. No one knew what was waiting for them ahead. Even Luo Chu himself didn't know how long he could live.
If Jiangdong suffered a major defeat, if many people he cared about died in the war, would he still live alone in this world?
Just like his other uncle, the unrivaled loyal and martial marquis Luo Kong, is it possible that Luo Kong cannot survive?
Does Luo Kong really have to seek death?
Of course not!
However, Emperor Min of Han, Liu Bian, passed away, and Luo Kong lost his last psychological support. He saw that the decline of the Han Dynasty was inevitable, so he was buried with the Han Dynasty.
His father, Yinghou Luochuan, stayed in Yinghou State. Even if he died, he would only stay in Yinghou State, waiting for Liu Bei to revive the Han Dynasty. If Liu Bei failed, his father would also die in Yinghou State.
Who can say for sure?
Luo Xuan’s death had a great impact on Luo Chu, and he said slowly: “Did you hear clearly what Zi Jing said just now?
He is the governor of Jiangxia, and he knows the situation of the three counties in Jiangbei much better than you who are in Wu County. Now that the three counties in Jiangbei are short of medicinal materials, they will be taken from the counties in Jiangdong. You are all the leaders of the big families, so I believe you are willing to donate money to help. "
Qiao Wei, the head of the Qiao family, did not say anything, but everyone present knew what he would do. He would definitely provide a lot of financial support to Luo Chu. After all, one of his daughters married Luo Chu in front of the witness of the whole world, and the other daughter is still in Zhaocheng, and she has seen clearly that Luo is going to marry his other daughter.
With these two daughters, Qiao Wei will definitely be buried in Zhaocheng after his death, and the tablet will have to be inscribed with -
"The ancestral tablet of our late father, Ji's surname and Luo's name is Wei"!
The Qiao family directly became the Luo family. Compared with this, what are some mere wealth and medicinal materials?
"Sir, our Xiao family is willing to donate three quarters of our medicinal herbs!"
The head of the Jiangdong Xiao family responded immediately, and even the head of the Han family was shocked. Xuzhou has been a prosperous commercial place since ancient times, after all, it has prosperous transportation.
It has always been said that the Mi family of Xuzhou is extremely wealthy, with billions of wealth and more than ten thousand slaves. However, the Xiao family is a behemoth that has been entrenched for three hundred years. Even if it has been weak for a long time, it does not mean that it has no money, it is just that its political status has been declining.
If three quarters of Xiao's medicinal materials were put into use, I'm afraid that the strength of one family would be enough to save the people of the entire county.
What a generous deal!
What a heavy bleeding!
However, in the eyes of the head of the Xiao family, they had just arrived in Jiangdong and had not yet established a firm foothold. The biggest problem was that compared with the local gentry, they did not have the support of the people.
Now that we have this opportunity, it would be a great deal to use all our money to win people's hearts.
The head of the Xiao family understood that the various counties in the south of the Yangtze River, especially Wu County, were not what he had imagined. Even a dragon from across the river like himself had to be careful when facing the six surnames of Wu County.
Besides, the Xiao and Han families have deep roots with the six surnames of Wu County, so there is no need to confront them. The three counties in northern Jiangnan have just recently come under the command of Luo Chu.
If they could gain ground in the three counties in northern Jiangbei, the Xiao family's status in Jiangdong would change dramatically, with the reputation of the Five Surnames and Seven Families, plus their deep roots like the local gentry.
Second only to Luo Chu.
Facing those families that have been entrenched in Jiangdong for a long time, it is still unclear who will have greater power in Jiangdong.
The thoughts of the head of the Xiao family were of course very obvious to smart people, but whether it was Luo Chu, Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hong, or even Zhou Yu, who was born in the three counties of Jiangbei, they were not only not disgusted by it, but they also admired it very much.
The reason is very simple. The head of the Xiao family is willing to pay the price. He is not greedy, but just fights for what he deserves.
When Luo Chu heard what the head of the Xiao family said, he laughed out loud and said, "Great, you are indeed from one of the five surnames and seven families. If all the noble families in the prefectures and counties have such a broad mind as you, then what can't Jiangdong accomplish?"
The head of the Xiao family clasped his fists and bowed, saying: "My lord, you are too kind. The Xiao family has just arrived. If it weren't for the Jiangdong people who took us in, how could we be sitting here at this moment?
I am only contributing a small amount of my strength now, and I don't deserve such praise from you, sir."
When the Han family master saw that the Xiao family master had been winking at him, he knew that he would definitely not be able to escape. Moreover, he and the Xiao family master came to Jiangdong together and formed an offensive and defensive alliance. So he also said: "Sir, although the Han family is not as wealthy as the Xiao family, we are also willing to donate most of the medicinal materials in our caravan and shops. I hope you don't mind."
The Han family is indeed not as rich as the Xiao family. If it were in the early years of the pre-Han Dynasty, the Huaiyin Marquisate would naturally be the richest. After all, it was the only large marquisate with tens of thousands of households. But three hundred years later, the Huaiyin Han family became worse and worse.
Fortunately, as one of the five surnames and seven families, the Han family was able to marry into the royal family thanks to its three hundred years of history.
When marrying into any other family, they would be considered to have a relatively high status.
Seeing that the Xiao and Han families were so generous in giving money, the other families could no longer sit still. However, they were really reluctant to take out so much money to save the people of the three counties in Jiangbei.
Everyone should clean the snow in front of their own door and not worry about the frost on other people's roofs.
That's what most people think.
Besides, this wave of plague is over, but who knows when the next wave will come? What if there is no medicine at home by then?
But looking at the expressionless Luo Chu, many people felt a little scared. The man above was not easy to deal with. It was the Wujun gentry who invited Luo Chu to Jiangdong, but this man was ruthless when it came to dealing with the Wujun gentry.
Anyone who dares to break his rules will be suppressed.
Qiao Wei slowly opened his eyes, which had been narrowed all the time, and looked at his old friends. A cold light slowly flashed in his eyes.
Idiots!
