Seeing Qin, the Imperial Physician, Gu Yuzhi blinked and suddenly exclaimed, "Is Imperial Physician Qin thinking of a way to persuade the Emperor?"
Gu Yuzhi cautiously raised his hand and scratched his head.
In truth, he was not very confident about how to persuade his elder brother.
After all, if Mr. Huo could make such a helpless choice on the battlefield, how much more so would the Emperor?
He looked at Imperial Physician Qin with a mixture of nervousness and anticipation, only to see Imperial Physician Qin shake his head slightly. Gu Yuzhi's eyes filled with grievance again, and he sighed with puffed-out cheeks: "Actually, I haven't figured out how to communicate with my brother myself."
His big eyes darted around, and he thought to himself, "Why don't I act like I did when I first wrote to my brother, and try to be cute and pitiful?"
Or perhaps he could first try to charm his brothers-in-law and get them to persuade him?
Anyway, as Teacher Shu said, the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Just as Gu Yuzhi was filled with a jumble of thoughts, Imperial Physician Qin finally spoke up: "I only believe that it is not advisable to declare war on the Northern Desert so soon."
The Northern Army is currently in a recovery period, only about half a year old. How could it possibly withstand the decades of dormancy of the Northern Barbarians?
However, since the King of Chu had contacted the Northern Di people first, whether or not to declare war was not something they could decide.
Therefore, Judge Qin knew that even if everyone felt that this year was not a good time, they would not say it at this time to lower morale, but would just make preparations in secret.
But Judge Qin felt that since the young prince had brought up the matter, he should naturally express his true thoughts.
"If the King of Chu is indeed as Your Highness thinks, leading his navy to besiege the Duke of Qi, then the Jiangnan warriors will not have been defeated so quickly. What Your Highness should do now is to cut off the King of Chu's possibility of sending messages to the Northern Di."
Although Jiang Ningqi went to the Northern Barbarians, as long as they did not receive the latest news from Jiangnan, the Northern Barbarians would not dare to make any rash moves.
Gu Yuzhi didn't know why Judge Qin would suddenly tell him this, and blankly said, "Oh: Chief Secretary Xie and Prefect Ke had already discussed this matter. The small trade market between Mobei and Beidi has been closed."
Not long after they discovered that Jiang Ningqi had fled to the Northern Barbarians, Prefect Ke had already taken the initiative to close the small trade market.
Because the trade market was small in scale, it did not have a significant impact on the wealthy merchants, and naturally, no trouble ensued.
I've been busy collecting and processing herbs all this time, and I haven't paid much attention to anything else, so naturally I didn't know that the border trade market had closed.
Moreover, the prefect of Dingzhou strengthened the screening of personnel entering the northern desert, making it almost impossible for the King of Chu to send someone safely into the northern desert and successfully contact the Northern Di people.
Having figured this out, Imperial Physician Qin's expression relaxed somewhat: "I said it is not advisable to go to war with the Northern Barbarians this year because I have some ideas based on Your Highness's desire to train military doctors."
He looked up at Gu Yuzhi and said softly, "I would like to establish a military medicine school in Your Highness's academy."
Before Gu Yuzhi could react, he continued, "Just as Your Highness said, I can first train them in some simple external wound bandaging and hemostasis. After they are proficient in these, we can teach them some more advanced techniques."
For example, the treatment of serious injuries, and amputation.
Gu Yuzhi sat up abruptly, his eyes filled with disbelief as he looked at Judge Qin.
He always remembered the arrogant look on Qin's face when he first asked Qin to sit in the pharmacy.
He knew, of course, that a skilled imperial physician like Qin Yuanpan had every right to be proud, so initially he assumed that Qin Yuanpan would only take on apprentices like Shi Nan.
But unexpectedly, Judge Qin suddenly told him that he was willing to take ordinary people and let more people learn how to bandage and stop bleeding!
Gu Yuzhi pinched his face hard, then suddenly hissed and gasped, "Ouch!"
If it hurts, then it's real!
Gu Yuzhi still found it a bit unbelievable, and looked at Wen and Shu with eyes full of surprise: "Manager Wen, Teacher Shu, you heard it too, right?"
"Judge Qin said he's willing to bring more military doctors with him!"
Gu Yuzhi's eyes sparkled, filled with joy and anticipation: "Physician Qin is renowned in the Northern Desert; he's a miracle doctor!"
"And there's more!" He couldn't hide his joy. "The people of the northern desert are suffering greatly from the Northern Di people. If they have this opportunity to become military doctors and treat more soldiers, many people will definitely be willing to follow Qin Yuan's teachings!"
Shu Xiaohan and Wen Xiuzhu exchanged a glance, their faces beaming with smiles.
Shu Xiaohan said, "Your Highness heard correctly, Imperial Physician Qin did say that he would bring a military doctor!"
Upon hearing the affirmative answer, Gu Yuzhi instinctively wanted to jump up, but as soon as he made a move, he looked up and saw the serious look in Qin Yuanpan's eyes.
He then remembered that he still had injuries on his legs and arms. He shrank his neck and carefully lay back down, too guilty to look up at Judge Qin.
Despite his guilty conscience, Gu Yuzhi immediately became smug again: "Court Judge Qin, I will write to Governor He right now and ask him to spread this news to all the prefectures in the northern desert, so that by the time we return, we can open a military medical school."
After thinking for a moment, Qin Yuanpan said, "Your Highness can inform Governor He to make preparations, but it would be best not to mention me in the letter."
Whether they were military doctors or imperial physicians, in Qin Yuanpan's view, being a good person was the most important thing.
Therefore, he wanted to teach people with pure hearts, not those who came for his reputation.
Such a person is incapable of enduring hardship, let alone going to the battlefield.
Gu Yuzhi nodded obediently: "I understand. Don't worry, Imperial Physician Qin, I will definitely not tell Governor He that you are the military doctor!"
He chuckled and said, "When we get back safely, the military doctors on the register will be ecstatic to find out that you taught them."
Judge Qin smiled slightly, his eyes momentarily lost in thought.
When he was still a royal physician, he had very few people around him because of his high standards.
Who would have thought that once they arrived in the northern desert, they would have to take on apprentices, and so many of them at that.
If the imperial physicians found out, who knows what they would think of him.
However, this idea quickly faded away.
Judge Qin himself was not someone who cared about what others thought.
Once he has made up his mind, he will not easily change it.
As the two were talking about the military doctor, the empty Qi residence finally stirred with some noise. Before Chief Secretary Xie even arrived, his voice came first.
Fearing he might frighten the young prince, Chief Secretary Xie washed his face before entering the room. Compared to his blood-stained robe, his face looked strangely clean.
When Chief Secretary Xie entered, he had a smile on his face: "Your Highness, I have returned."
Before Gu Yuzhi could ask, Chief Secretary Xie chuckled and said, "Most of the rebels at the East and West Gates have been wiped out. The remaining rebels have all been imprisoned in the dungeon, and Guard Zhang and Jiang Kangming are interrogating them urgently..."
