Tang Dynasty good doctor

Chapter 165

Wang Ping'an bowed his head and thought for a while, and it happened that the over-water noodles were brought up at this time, so he started to eat the noodles without speaking, let alone answering Yin Jiucheng's words.

It doesn't matter if he pretended to be deep, but it made others anxious, Ouyang Li said: "Master, this is a great opportunity to become famous, you are only famous in Xuzhou now, if you publish a medical book, then the whole world will know You, being able to leave a book handed down to the world is even more glorious than being admitted to the first prize, and future generations will remember you even more!"

Wang Pingan picked up a few noodles with chopsticks, chewed them in his mouth, and said, "The noodles are pretty good. First boil them in water, and then rinse them in cold water. The noodles come out strong and delicious!"

Hamiti was also anxious, he said: "Little Guanyin..."

Wang Pingan waved his chopsticks and said, "Don't call me Little Guanyin, I don't like this name, I have said it many times, why do you keep calling me?"

Hamidi laughed a few times, and said: "Okay, if you don't like it, then we won't call you sick. I said no sickness. I'm a businessman. I only look at how much money I make in everything. Things, they are very practical, just like the almanac, as long as the family can afford it, every family has it. Why is the almanac also called Tongsheng, because it is practical. Is it useful too?"

According to legend, the Huangli calendar was created by Xuanyuan Huangdi, so it is called the Huangli calendar, and it is also commonly known as "Tongshu" among the people.However, because the word "shu" in Tongshu is the same as the word "lose", it is also called "Tongsheng" because of taboo avoidance.It can be said that the almanac has the largest sales volume in the history of China among the printed materials of folk spontaneous nature, just because it is practical.Of course, this does not include books with political colors. It only refers to voluntary printing by the people, but spontaneity means approval. If you don’t approve of something, whoever has the mood to voluntarily print it, and no one will buy it when it is printed.

Wang Pingan was still noncommittal, he ate a few mouthfuls of overcooked noodles, at this time the vendor brought up a plate of scrambled eggs with Chinese toon, and shouted: "Guest officer, take it easy!"

Wang Pingan held a Chinese toon with chopsticks, put it in his mouth and ate it, and said: "Toon is a good thing, do you know that it is fried with eggs, and it has a great therapeutic effect."

He looked up at the crowd, tapped the plate with his chopsticks, and said, "Don't underestimate this dish, thinking that it's cheap, and you can satisfy your hunger. In fact, this dish has a great effect. It can nourish yin and dryness. Skin tone and bodybuilding. When it comes to medicinal value, it can treat fatigue and vomiting blood, red eyes, malnutrition, white baldness and other diseases. Ordinary people often eat it, which can enhance physical fitness, resist diseases and prevent diseases."

As he spoke, he picked up a large chopstick and scrambled eggs with Chinese toon, and ate them with noodles.

Aydin sighed and said: "No disease, let's talk about business, why are you talking about vegetables? Are you afraid that if you write medical books, no one will buy them after they are printed, medical books must be more expensive than those sold in the almanac Don't worry about this, you don't need to pay for the capital, my brother-in-law and I will arrange it, and after the medical book is printed, it will be sold at a low price, so we can make a profit and sell it at a loss!"

If someone else made the money and he could earn channel fees, Yin Jiucheng would naturally be willing, and he would not lose money anyway.Clearing his throat, he also persuaded Wang Ping'an, "No disease, you see so many people in Luoyang betting big today, but they lost the bet, are you afraid that they will be dissatisfied with you?"

Wang Pingan thought for a while, nodded and said: "This is also one aspect. You see, the peddler even lost two hundred cash. After a day, he may be able to make this money. It may not be a net profit."

Yin Jiucheng snorted, and said: "I would like to admit defeat. Since they want to bet on General Wei's eyes, they have to accept the result that his eyes have been cured. No disease, you see they are gnashing their teeth at you now, But if you get sick, believe it or not, the first thing they think of is you!"

Everyone at the table laughed together.Aydin said: "Isn't it? Why do they think of you first? Because you impress them deeply. You make them hurt more and more. When they think of you, the more they think of your superb medical skills." , if you don’t believe me, just wait and see!”

Wang Pingan also smiled. From a psychological point of view, this is indeed the case, but after all, it will happen after a while!
Even though I said so, my reputation is not small, but if I really want to publish a medical book, it is still a bit difficult. In ancient times, publishing a medical book was a great test for the doctor himself.

Zhang Zhongjing was able to publish medical books because he was a great bureaucrat in the Han Dynasty and once served as the prefect of Changsha. There is a passage in the preface of "Treatise on Febrile and Miscellaneous Diseases": The upper part is to cure the illnesses of the monarch and relatives, the lower part is to save the poor and the poor, and the middle part is to preserve the health of the body and nourish the body.This shows that before Zhang Zhongjing wrote the book, he was already a famous doctor recognized all over the world.But even so, when his book was released to the world, it was not long before his death.

Sun Simiao was able to publish medical books, but it was only after he became famous all over the world that everyone in the emperor knew about it, but when did his "Thousand Gold Prescriptions" be published? It was published when he was over 70 years old.Sun Simiao is not a god, he will not know how long he can live. In his rare years, he estimated that he might die soon, so he published a book. As for how many years he lived, it was not his own ability. As expected, he is not really a fairy after all!
Li Shizhen was able to publish medical books, and his story is well known. The publication of "Compendium of Materia Medica" was so difficult that it was made into a movie.Li Shizhen is extremely capable, but his power is far inferior to that of Zhang Zhongjing and Sun Simiao, so even he himself did not live to see the publication of his own medical book!
In ancient times, it was too difficult to publish a medical book, and all factors must be considered!Given that Wang Ping'an is less than 80 years old, if he really publishes a medical book, he must die halfway. Even if this medical book is finally recognized, it must be [-] or [-] years after Wang Ping's death. Baptism, let future generations recognize him!

If Wang Pingan wants to publish medical books, there is only one way to promote it at this stage, that is, he becomes the highest official in the Imperial Medical Office, and he compiles and reviews the books himself, and then publishes them nationwide by administrative order.Only through this kind of national power can his book be recognized and popularized.

With his current status, if he publishes a medical book, it will not be famous, but he will be scolded. Once the medical book is published, countless people will come to "visit" and argue with him endlessly. He has been arguing with him since he was 17 years old. By the age of 70, there will be no pauses in between!
An era has the characteristics of an era, and it is not enough to do things only with passion.It is not enough for laymen to watch the fun and experts to watch the way. Yin Jiucheng and the others only think about the economic aspect, but never think about the doctor himself!

If Wang Pingan wants to publish a medical book, it is possible, yes, but it must be a type of medical book that has never been published before, so that other doctors cannot argue with him and can only recognize his works!

The originator of the mountain does not need to care about other people's opinions, I am the peak, and everyone is under my feet, but only the originator of the mountain can have this kind of momentum!
Wang Pingan knocked on the plate of scrambled eggs with Chinese toon again, and said with a smile: "You guys, you didn't listen to me carefully. When did I say that I didn't want to publish medical books? But what kind of medical books should be published? I still have to think about it. I'm not Mr. Zhong Jing is not a fairy like Sun Zhenren, if you want to publish medical books, you can't do it at this age, you have to find another way!"

After a pause, he said: "I plan to write a book on medicinal diet. Medicine is not as good as food therapy. Although some doctors have written about it before, they are just passing through and did not demonstrate in detail. I plan to write a book dedicated to diet therapy." No one else has written the medical book, so let me start it!"

Everyone's eyes looked at the plate of scrambled eggs with Chinese toon. This thing can also be written in a book. It's a roadside stall!People in this day and age still don't understand the importance of diet therapy. Of course, if they really understand, specialized medical books will come overwhelming, and it's not Wang Ping'an's turn to start this one!

Medicine is not as good as diet, who came up with this point of view?
Coincidentally, it was Wang Ping'an's contemporaries, Medicine King Sun Simiao who proposed it. It is clearly recorded in "Thousand Gold Prescriptions": A doctor should know the source of the disease, know the crime, and cure it with food.The point of view is clear, diet therapy comes first with drug therapy, and when diet therapy fails, medication is better.

What was the first book devoted to diet therapy?It is "Diet Therapy Materia Medica".

Who wrote this book?
Coincidentally, it has something to do with Sun Simiao, and it was written by his disciple!

But all these coincidences are not coincidences. The real coincidence is that Wang Pingan put forward this point of view ahead of them and plans to publish a book!
Just a little bit earlier, he immediately became the pioneer in the field of diet therapy, and diet therapy is indeed a kind of medical skill!
No matter which industry the founder of the mountain is in, these four words are always number one in positive numbers, and others can only bow down!
Yin Jiucheng frowned and said: "No one has written this kind of book before? Anyway, I haven't seen it. Is it very risky to publish this kind of book, in case none of them can be sold... "

Hamidi was unwilling, and said: "Who says it's going to be sold? Let's make money at a loss. Print it out and give it away directly. How much will it cost to print 20 to [-] copies?"

Yin Jiucheng thought to himself: "Comparing me to rich and rich, I may not necessarily be poorer than you!" He said: "Since the capital is funded by Mr. Ha, then I will provide the channels. From printing to listing, I will take care of it all by myself. !"

Wang Pingan smiled and said: "It's not necessarily a loss. Publishing a book is my business. How can I let you two be so busy. Let's divide the work. Master Ha is responsible for the capital contribution, brother Yin is responsible for the sales, and I am responsible for the delivery. , if you make money, you two share it equally, and I don't want it!"

"How can it be done!" Hamidi and Yin Jiucheng laughed together.Hamidi said: "Business is business. Don't look at me pretending to be generous, but I still want to make money. I get [-]% if I don't get sick, and Brother Yin and I each get [-]%!"

It is arrogance to talk about business with money, and this "small business" was settled in a few words, and everyone started to eat again.

Wang Pingan was about to scramble eggs with Chinese toon on another chopstick. He looked down, but saw that the plate was empty. He said with a smile, "Look, if this business is successful, my book will definitely sell well. You don't have to be afraid of losing money!"

He shouted to the peddler: "Shopkeeper, another plate of scrambled eggs with Chinese toon!"
