Chapter 208 Too many people
Li Chengqian and Li Ke came to the completed Royal Military Academy for a casual walk, and then went to the Medical College... Unlike His Majesty Li Er, he attached more importance to the Military Academy, Li Chengqian was more concerned about the Medical College!
As soon as I arrived at the newly built office building of the Medical College, Sun Simiao took him to the office of the president of the Tang Dynasty Royal Medical College!
"Your Highness, you are here. I'm so hard waiting for you!"
"I have been busy with the affairs of the Ministry of Commerce recently, and I really have no time to take into account the affairs of the medical school. I would like to forgive me... But you really don't have to worry about the students of the college. I'm lonely..." Li Chengqian thought that Sun Simiao was so anxious to find him, because the college was about to officially start school, but now he has no students.
But before he finished speaking, Sun Simiao interrupted: "Your Highness misunderstood. What I am worried about is not that the college does not have a college. On the contrary, I am worried about that there are too many people who want to come to the college. The college does not have the ability to carry so many students!"
"Too many people? What's going on?"
"Does Your Highness know that you are now registered. How many students are there who want to come to the college to study?"
"Hmm? Haven't you started recruiting students yet? Where did the students come from?" Looking at Sun Simiao with helpless expressions, Li Chengqian was full of doubts! Because in his understanding, this era is very different from later generations, and the status of doctors is just a little higher than that of merchants. He is a worker in the fourth level of scholars, farmers, industry and commerce. How could many people want to enter medical school?
"Your Highness doesn't know..."
After Sun Simiao's explanation, Li Chengqian not only did not understand what was going on, but instead became even more confused!
According to Sun Simiao, at the beginning of the construction of the college, when he discussed the issue of being a teacher with Li Chengqian, Li Chengqian once reminded him that he could write letters to doctors he knew to come here to teach. With his reputation as Sun Simiao in the world and the name of the college sponsored by the royal family... Sun Simiao himself confidently assured Li Chengqian that he would definitely invite enough teachers, and that the doctors he could know and send invitations were absolutely guaranteed, regardless of medical skills or character!
Afterwards, he did follow Li Chengqian's reminder and wrote letters to his friends or well-known doctors early, inviting him to come to Chang'an to work with him to fight for the glory of the Tang Dynasty's medical career!
"That's not right. You're just looking for teachers. How come so many people come to the college to be students?"
"Your Highness, don't worry, wait until I finish speaking!"
"Then you keep talking slowly!"
Sun Simiao explained again, and this time Li Chengqian finally understood something.
At the beginning, Sun Simiao wrote to his friends, but almost no one agreed to come here to teach. The reason was nothing more than that kind of home learning should not be worn outside, and how can teachers teach others lightly, etc.
This made Sun Simiao feel disappointed and very anxious! There was no way, but he boasted in front of Li Chengqian that he would definitely summon enough teachers. So, after receiving a reply from his friends, he immediately wrote another letter to the other party! Moreover, not only the people he knew, but also all the doctors with some reputation in the world, he wrote an invitation letter!
This time he did not mention anything else, but said that after the medical school officially started, the current crown prince, Li Chengqian, will also teach at the college and teach his exclusive "life-sustaining technique" to everyone... including the college students and the teachers who teach!
Sure enough, this reply was much faster than the first time. Apart from a few "experts" who claimed to be arrogant and expressed unwillingness to involve the world, everyone expressed that they would come to Chang'an as soon as possible to help Sun Simiao carry forward the medical school!
But what Sun Simiao did not expect was... these people did not come to Chang'an directly. After all, there were still a few months before the start date of the school year that Sun Simiao mentioned, so many people chose to make money while practicing medicine... It would be fine if they just practice medicine and making money, but they told everyone along the way that they went to Chang'an to teach at the Royal Medical College of the Tang Dynasty, and His Royal Highness would teach them the "art of extending their lives"!
When someone asked what the Royal Medical College of the Tang Dynasty was, these guys who knew only a little about it told them directly that as long as you enter there, no matter whether you are a teacher or a student, you can learn the "life-sustaining technique" from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince...
"What do you mean is... these people are coming to me?" Li Chengqian said with a look of surprise.
Sun Simiao nodded with a wry smile, "I didn't expect that Your Highness is so appealing in the apricot forest now... According to the reactions of those registered students, there are still many people on the way to Chang'an..."
Sun Simiao's next words surprised Li Chengqian while being speechless!
According to Sun Simiao, when the people of the world talk about the prince Li Chengqian, they usually think of three things - first, His Highness the Crown Prince knows the magic of immortals, which is an immortal who descends to earth; second, His Highness the Crown Prince knows the art of life, which can bring people back to life; third, His Highness the Crown Prince does not allow others to say that he is an immortal, knows the magic of immortals, which can bring back to life, otherwise the secret of heaven will be revealed...
"Old man Sun, haven't I told you that it's not a life-suspending technique at all? You have been experimenting for a long time, so you should know the reason, right? Why are you talking nonsense everywhere?" Li Chengqian said with a dark face.
Sun Simiao continued to smile bitterly, "Your Highness, it's not that I don't understand what the so-called life-extension technique is. However... In the past, patients with excessive blood loss had to stop bleeding, and then prescribe some blood-replenishing objects to nourish blood and nourish qi. Whether or not they can survive can only be left to fate! However, the blood transfusion method invented by Your Highness completely solved this problem... You said that this is not a life-extension method, but in fact, this is really a life-extension for patients! In addition, the story of Your Highness spreads the story of Your Highness, which inevitably leads to the people's mistakenly thinking that life-extension is a fairy technique to prolong people's life-end, so..."
Li Chengqian was completely speechless, and he was not a human being in the minds of the people now!
"No, it can't be done. Otherwise, when these students actually enter the academy and discover the truth about the so-called life-suspending technique, they will definitely have immeasurable consequences for the academy!"
"So I am worried! I have explained to them, and even conducted experiments in front of them, but... they don't believe me at all!"
Li Chengqian didn’t know what to say. Can you blame Sun Simiao for this? It was also for the purpose of summoning teachers in the medical school, and it was not said that the art of extending life can extend life for people! It was entirely because the people were spread to each other. After thousands of mouths, he was "immortalized"!
In the final analysis, it is still that information dissemination is too backward today and can only be passed on by word of mouth. This will inevitably lead to the misunderstanding of "three people become tigers"!
