Very few people knew that Fu Xiaoguan was leaving Beijing today.
Therefore, not many people came to see him off at the east gate of Jinling City, not even Emperor Xuan, Empress Shang, and people from the Dong Mansion of the Yan clan came.
It’s not that something strange happened, but that Fu Xiaoguan didn’t let them come - it’s not like they are going to the battlefield to face life and death, isn’t it just to be a prefect of Wofeng Road?
Besides, his main official position is the Minister of Commerce, so you never know when he will go back to Nanjing.
But there were still a few people who knew the news, such as Huo Huaijin and the third princess Yu Qinglan, and another person Fu Xiaoguan had never expected - Sakura!
At this moment, the three of them were standing at the east gate, where Fu Xiaoguan's convoy stopped.
He got off the carriage, looked at Huo Huaijin, and said with a smile: "Aren't you meddling in other people's business?"
Huo Huaijin also grinned, "When you left, the owner of Sifanglou cried."
"I thought you were going to say that a certain girl in "National Beauty and Heavenly Fragrance" cried..." After saying this, he looked at Yu Qinglan and added, "Your Highness, please keep a close eye on this guy. He is a frequent visitor to "National Beauty and Heavenly Fragrance"!"
Yu Qinglan suddenly widened her eyes and looked at Huo Huaijin. Huo Huaijin felt unwell:
"You, you don't even make me feel good when you're gone... No, Qinglan, I've only been to that place once, and that was to look for him... Oh, and Miss Sakura can testify to that!"
Yu Qinglan covered her mouth and chuckled, "If you want to go, go ahead. Your legs are on your body, how can I care so much?"
Yinghua blushed slightly, and she bowed to Fu Xiaoguan Yingying, "I don't know when you will return after this farewell. I am grateful for your care, and Yinghua has no way to repay you. I wish you a safe journey."
Fu Xiaoguan carefully looked at Yinghua's rosy face, wanting to ask her how she changed her interest. However, he chose not to gossip about such a boring topic. Instead, he asked, "Is the route from Liuguo to Yu Dynasty open?"
Yinghua shook her head. "For now, goods from both countries still have to go through Wuchao to reach the sea. However, our Maritime Ministry has resumed exploration of the East China Sea route this year. I believe a safe route will be found within a year or so. When that happens... I would like to invite Earl Ding'an to visit the Ryukyu Kingdom."
"Well... tell your country's emperor that the place called Jiuye is mine."
Sakura was stunned. She knew that according to the Maritime Ministry's plan, that place would become a transit and supply port, and its location was extremely important.
The Yu Dynasty doesn't even have a sea vessel, but he wants that place. Is he planning to build a ship?
Sakura was silent for a few breaths, "I will write a letter to my father."
Fu Xiaoguan didn't care about this. If the Liu Kingdom dared to occupy Jiuye, he would dare to destroy the Liu Kingdom!
So he just nodded and looked at Huo Huaijin, "My aunt has arrived in Jinling. When will your marriage be decided?"
"You will definitely not be able to come back on the first day of September. Just deliver the gift."
Fu Xiaoguan laughed heartily and punched Huo Huaijin. "Of course. Alright, I'm leaving now. Remember you owe me a table at Sifanglou. You can eat there when I get back."
"Take care of yourself!"
"goodbye!"
…
…
The convoy continued on its journey, and the city of Jinling gradually became smaller and then disappeared.
Fu Xiaoguan cast aside the sadness of parting, looked at Nangong Piaoxue and said:
"Snow falling."
"Um."
"I have an idea for you to listen to. It's not a compulsion or an order. It's entirely up to you to choose."
Nangong Piaoxue's heart tightened, wondering what idea Fu Xiaoguan had come up with. She said, "Your Highness, please speak."
"I've long planned to establish a medical school... a school dedicated entirely to the study of medicine. Its main research area is surgery. I didn't have anyone like that until you performed that surgery on Wenjun."
He paused and said seriously, "I want you to be the dean of this medical school and recruit young students with a medical background and an interest in surgery."
Nangong Piaoxue smiled brightly, and the nervous expression on her face disappeared. "I thought it was no big deal. This is a small matter, but there is a problem. That is, many people still cannot accept the idea of having their intestines cut open."
"It doesn't matter. People's mindsets will eventually change. But this surgery isn't just for delivering babies."
Nangong Piaoxue was stunned, "What else can I do?"
"There are many things we can do, such as the simplest appendectomy, heart surgery, and even..." Fu Xiaoguan pointed to his head, "craniotomy."
When these words came out, not only Nangong Piaoxue was shocked, but even Xu Xinyan and the other two were horrified. Heart surgery? Craniotomy... How is this possible?
Fu Xiaoguan continued, "This has to start with anatomy. First, you have to be familiar with the structure of the human body. Then, you have to study pathology and pharmacology. Ma Fei San isn't very reliable. We need to find a better anesthetic, using an injection... that is, injecting it directly into the muscle with a syringe. This way, the amount of anesthetic used can be controlled, and local or general anesthesia can be used according to the needs of the surgery..."
Nangong Piaoxue's eyes lit up. Xu Xinyan and the others felt like they were listening to a mystery, but these words seemed to open a window for her!
"Another extremely important research topic is how to treat infections. In the cases you mentioned, the people who died all died from infections."
"There's a special medicine for this, called penicillin... I'll write down the method for extracting penicillin on the way and give it to you. You can experiment with it yourself."
Fu Xiaoguan talked about concepts that were far beyond the medical level of this world, such as colds, plagues, bacteria, microscopes, the principles of virus generation and treatment, and so on.
Nangong Piaoxue had already taken out paper and pen and wrote down every word Fu Xiaoguan said in detail.
Zhang Pei'er looked at Fu Xiaoguan in shock. This former Linjiang playboy... Could it be that he had been pretending to be such a playboy in Linjiang for sixteen years?
I haven't heard that he has learned medicine!
In fact... during his time in Linjiang, I had never heard that he had read many books or written many poems or essays.
Thinking about it this way, she felt that she had figured it out. This guy had been hiding his abilities all along!
In fact, I don’t know how many books I have read in secret, and they are extremely complicated.
Nangong Piaoxue didn't think much about it at the moment. She only knew that at least Fu Xiaoguan's theoretical viewpoints had far surpassed her master, the Wu Dynasty medical master Shui Yunjian!
Fu Xiaoguan spoke for the entire morning, throwing out everything he had learned during training and what he had learned on his own, while Nangong Piaoxue wrote down a full thirty pages.
This is no longer paper!
In Nangong Piaoxue's eyes, this is a medical bible!
"Who... is your teacher?"
Fu Xiaoguan chuckled, "If I said I was self-taught, would you believe me?"
Nangong Piaoxue stared at Fu Xiaoguan for a long time, "I believe it!"
Fu Xiaoguan turned his head and looked out the window. Blind worship is so scary. I don’t even believe it myself!
Because the blood type problem cannot be solved.
No blood transfusion during a major operation... Nangong Piaoxue's reputation might be ruined.
So the key point was to develop penicillin.
