Chapter 436 Some things are not as bad as expected

  Li Yi opened the letter and read it for a while, then raised his head and gave Xu Xun a strange look.

   Then he turned his head and said to Feng Yong with a smile, "Brother, there is news about Zhang Changsha's descendants."

   "Zhang Changsha?"

  Feng Yong frowned, thought for a while before reacting, and gave Xu Xun a strange look, "It's been a long time, right?"

  When Li Yi returned to Hanzhong from Nanzhong, he mentioned this matter to him.

   Said that Xu Ci was entrusted to ask this matter, but Xu Ci just vaguely said that he would do his best, and Feng Yong and Li Yi no longer had any hope.

   And at the very beginning, he really wanted to establish a medical system through Zhang Zhongjing's descendants.

  But since he had a descendant trained by Hua Tuo himself, and Amei had two medical books of Zhang Zhongjing in his hands, he was not so urgent about this matter, and even gradually forgot about it later.

   Unexpectedly, Xu Ci could still remember this matter all the time.

  Glanced at Xu Xun, Feng Yong glanced at Xu Xun thoughtfully, and asked, "Xu Zhongyueling, what did you say on it?"

   "Brother, let's take a look too."

  Li Yi handed over the letter paper, "After Zhang Changsha passed away, a lot of things seemed to happen to the Zhang family in Lingnan."

   After coming here for so long, Feng Yong can finally read various official documents and letters from this era.

  Xu Ci can be regarded as having a heart, and the above described in detail the situation of the descendants of Zhang Zhongjing in Lingnan today.

  The main surname of Nanyang County is the Zhang family, and Zhang Zhongjing came out of the Zhang family in Nanyang County, so he had the opportunity to become the prefect of Changsha.

  But for the mainstream society at that time, Zhang Zhongjing was an outlier.

  Being a prefect of a county but willing to run a lowly job, how can the Zhang family of Nanyang County tolerate such humiliating things? So they sent people to persuade them many times, but the two sides always broke up unhappy.

   Later, Zhang Zhongjing even left the Zhang family directly.

  However, because of his practice of medicine, he couldn't even become an official, so he took his family and ran to Lingnan to live in seclusion.

  There were many malaria epidemics in Lingnan, and Zhang Zhongjing was very skilled in medicine. He cured many people in Lingnan, and after his death, the people set up a shrine.

  It's a pity that after Zhang Zhongjing's death, his descendants were torn apart because of his practice of medicine. Some returned to Nanyang and wanted to return to their ancestors, while some gave up practicing medicine and just wanted to guard Zhang Zhongjing's ancestral hall in Lingnan.

  As for those who want to continue practicing medicine, there is no one—there may be, but the successor patriarch of the Zhang family in Lingnan refuses to let him go, and the news from the Zhang family in Lingnan says that Zhang Zhongjing has no medical books handed down.

   "Absurd!"

  Feng Yong threw the letter paper on the case table, and said slightly annoyed, "The shrine of Zhang Changsha was erected by the people because of his medical skills to save the people."

   "His descendants now regard the practice of medicine as a scourge, but they say they want to guard his ancestral hall in peace. It's ridiculous!"

  As for Zhang Zhongjing’s statement that there are no medical books handed down, that’s even more absurd. Could it be that the two medical books in hand were written by others?

  Hearing this, Xu Xun slandered in his heart: practicing medicine is a lowly profession, and if people don’t practice lowly professions, is there something wrong?

   "Only by setting up an ancestral hall can the reputation of the family be raised. The Zhang family in Lingnan was separated from the Zhang family in Nanyang. The foundation is shallow. Guarding the ancestral hall can be regarded as having a foundation."

"In addition to Zhang Changsha's prestige among the people during his lifetime, if he manages it well, he may not be able to take root and form his own line. If he practices medicine again, he will fall into the ranks of the poor. How can the current Patriarch of the Zhang family in Lingnan Will the members of the clan be allowed to practice medicine again?"

  Li Yi gave Feng Yong an analysis.

  Feng Yong nodded, "That's the reason, but I just feel a little nervous."

  Looked at Li Yi, forced a smile, "I made Wenxuan laugh."

   After speaking, he let out another long sigh.

  How many people have been saved by a book of Treatise on Febrile Diseases and Miscellaneous Diseases?

According to the historical trajectory, if it wasn't for decades later, someone saw the remnants of this book by chance and tried their best to restore it, I am afraid that this masterpiece of classical medicine will probably be lost in the long river of history. Like those things, they quietly annihilated.

   Even so, it was only half restored in the end, and the remaining half has never been known.

  Bad business, cheap business, cheap business of your mother!

  Feng Yong cursed in his heart.

  The masses of the people are the promoters of historical progress.

  The hero is just the leader who happens to meet.

  It's just how powerful the power of the world is, even if Feng Yong does his best, at most he can secretly change the concept within his own control, remove the lowly status and change it into a good one.

  One way to change the humble status of farmers and workers is to improve the Confucian thought of governing the country—for Feng Yong, this move is even more difficult than traveling again.

  How can it be so easy to make a statement?

   What's more, to speak for the lowly workers in the head of Guizhou?

  Another way is to directly resort to the horse beard theory: to liberate productive forces, develop productive forces, and use productive forces to promote (reversely force) changes in production relations.

   And this method is also very difficult. It is hopeless if the family is not smashed to pieces.

  Because aristocratic families instinctively suppress agriculture, industry and commerce in order to maintain their privileges, this indirectly suppresses the development of productive forces.

   It is not for nothing that the famous saying "If you are not a good look, you are a good doctor" came out in the Song Dynasty when the aristocratic family was completely disintegrated.

  No matter how much later generations criticize the weak martial arts of the Song Dynasty, they will all nod in recognition of the brilliance of its culture.

  Because of the spread of knowledge and the decentralization of knowledge interpretation power, this is the basis for the rise of scholar-bureaucrats, which is why later it was said that scholar-bureaucrats and the emperor ruled the world together.

  But the exclusivity of imperial power is innate. When the "big Zhu hoof" proposed the self-castration version of Confucianism, the emperor quickly carried it forward.

  The Song Dynasty emphasized culture over military affairs because of the chaos of the country by military generals in the Tang Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty weakened the power of officials because of the weak imperial power of the Song Dynasty. Both of them are suspected of overcorrecting.

   It is this self-castration of Confucianism that has liberated part of the industry in the Northern Song Dynasty, and is tightly bound again.

  In this era, it is so difficult for the Wei and Wu countries, who are in power in the aristocratic family, to overthrow the aristocratic family!

   Only Shu, because of special historical reasons, is the weakest link of the family.

  Go to places where the enemy's ruling power is weak to seek a foothold. Feng Yong has taught himself the dragon slaying technique he learned since he was a child.

  Li Yi knew well that his elder brother sometimes acted strangely, so he didn't care about Feng Yong's words.

  I saw him saying to Xu Xun, "Mr. Xu, this time, I really bothered Xu Zhongyiling. Please say something for Yi and Zhongyiling after you go back. I will definitely come to thank you in the future."

  Xu Xun hurriedly said, "Why does Li Langjun have to be so polite? My lord said it, it's just a matter of repairing a book. My lord always says, Li Langjun..."

   As he spoke, he glanced at Feng Yong above him again, and then said eagerly, "Li Langjun... and Feng Langjun are rare talents among big men, so please get close to them."

  Hearing this, not to mention Feng Yong, even Li Yi's expression was very strange.

   On the other hand, Xu Xun, when he said this, he felt his forehead rumbling and his face was burning hot. He didn't even dare to look up at Feng Yong and Li Yi, for fear of seeing the mocking look on their faces.

   It seemed that after a very long wait, Feng Yong suddenly laughed, and Xu Xun immediately gritted his teeth: Even if I die, I will not be angry with this turkey!

  Thinking like this, he suddenly raised his head, only to see Feng Yong above him smiling, looking extremely gentle.

   "Xu Langjun's words are really flattering. What a talented person, but everyone loves them. Thanks to Xu Langjun, it is a great honor to be able to make friends with Xu Langjun forever."

  Xu Xun heard this, and then saw the sincere expression on Feng Yong's face, his eyes became hot, and he felt a rush of blood rushing to his forehead.

  It turns out that some things are not as bad as I imagined.
