Chapter 320: Doctors Improve Their Status

“Your grandfather was a herbalist, and your father, Li Wenyan, was a famous imperial physician at the time.

You once served as a clerk in the Imperial Medical Service, so you, Senior Li Shizhen, have been exposed to these things since childhood and also wanted to study medicine very much.

However, your wishes, Senior Li Shizhen, and your father Li Wenyan, are completely opposite.

Senior Li Shizhen, your father hopes that you will pass the imperial examination and does not want you to study medicine anymore.

Because the status of civilian doctors at that time was very low and their lives were hard, your father didn't want you to live that kind of life.

But Senior Li Shizhen, you really like to study medicine, but in the end you couldn't persuade your father."

This is perfectly normal. Li Shizhen is right that a father wants his son to live a better life.

Parents worry about all kinds of things for their children.

In ancient times, the status of a doctor was very low. If there were other options, naturally people would not want their family members to be doctors.

"I also know that my father is doing this for my own good," Li Shizhen sighed deeply.

"Indeed," the others nodded.

"How low has the status of doctors been? There is a saying in ancient times about the four major classes of people: scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans. The status of doctors is not even as good as that of businessmen. They belong to the same group as all other people. So I don't understand what you ancestors were thinking?" Li Wu asked doubtfully. Don't they know how important doctors are?

If you don't know, why would you think of seeing a doctor when you are sick? If you know, why don't you make use of the doctor?

"I can't quite understand. My ancestors, you all know that doctors cure illnesses and save lives. You also know that you need a doctor when you feel unwell. Otherwise, why would the palace keep those imperial physicians?

Since we all know this, why not raise the status of doctors a little bit?

If there were more doctors, fewer people would die from diseases." Li Wu was helpless, but the status was too low. If people didn't really like it, how many people would be willing to study medicine?

The ancestors in front of the sky were silent, but, but this has been the case since ancient times, the ranking of scholars, farmers, merchants and artisans has been the same since ancient times, and they just followed it.

But what the little immortal said makes sense. Doctors and the like are indeed very important to them. Who can guarantee that they will not get sick for their entire life?

No one can guarantee that. Being sick means you need a doctor, and many times when an epidemic occurs, the first thing people think of is the doctor. They have to be the first to solve the plague, so why don’t they pay attention to doctors?

Many emperors also began to ponder. So many miracle doctors appeared on the sky, and they also said that they would accept disciples. I wonder if they would accept disciples from their own dynasties. Maybe they would.

If there is one more miracle doctor in your dynasty, your safety will be guaranteed.

Therefore, they decided to announce the improvement of the status of doctors. If the status of doctors has always been low, not many people would be willing to study medicine.

So we can only improve it.

Moreover, they also have to please the miracle doctor, so that the miracle doctor can teach them the secret of longevity and they no longer have to hide.

If you have a bad attitude towards the miracle doctors, they will be unwilling to teach you even if there is a secret to longevity.

As a result, many emperors in the barrage expressed the idea of ​​improving the social status of doctors.

This made many doctors cry bitterly.

Li Shizhen's father Li Wenyan was also proud of his son.

Now that the emperor has said so in the barrage, it is naturally impossible for him to stop his son from studying medicine.

Medicine Saint, hahaha, his son is the Medicine Saint, the Medicine Saint, much stronger than him.

Sky

After seeing the barrage, Li Wu also smiled.

"Little immortal, is there any good news?" Zhang Zhongjing asked. Seeing the little immortal smiling like that, he knew it was good news.

Li Wu nodded like a little chicken pecking at rice. "The emperors have decided to raise the status of doctors. Are you happy?"

"Is this true?"

"Little Immortal, you didn't lie to us, did you? It really, really improved?"

"I think if we improve the status of doctors, many people will be willing to learn medicine."

Several people couldn't help but have tears in their eyes. After so many years, their status as doctors has finally improved.

The five people looked at each other, then stood up in unison and bowed to Li Wu, "Thank you, little immortal."

Li Wu also stood up quickly and said, "No, no, please stand up quickly, seniors." She couldn't bear this bow.

These guys are all miracle doctors. Even if they are not miracle doctors, they are still our ancestors. She cannot bear them.

"Little Immortal, we are extremely grateful to you. If it weren't for you, we doctors would still be the same. We are expressing our gratitude on behalf of other doctors. Please bear with it," Hua Tuo said. How could they feel at ease if they didn't thank the little immortal?

They all understood that the reason why the emperors were willing to improve the status of doctors was all because of the little immortal. Without the little immortal, they would still be the same, so the little immortal could accept this worship.

The doctors, apprentices, and people who wanted to learn medicine in front of the sky curtain all bowed to the sky curtain and thanked the little immortal.

"Okay, okay, since Senior Hua Tuo has said so, I have already bowed and it's time to sit down." She had already bowed, and in such a way, if she did not accept it, the seniors might feel guilty.

Never mind, it’s not the first time that the ancestors bowed to her.

"Yes, little fairy."

Several people sat down in unison.

"Then I will continue to talk about you, Senior Li Shizhen," Li Shizhen nodded, and several people started eating.

Seeing that there was still a lot of food left on the table, they couldn't waste it.

"When you were fourteen years old, your father took you to Huangzhou Prefecture to take the exam.

He returned home only after he passed the imperial examination.

He went to Wuchang three more times to take the imperial examination, but failed each time, so he gave up this path. Senior Li Shizhen, you can finally study medicine.

When you were twenty-three years old, you followed your father to study medicine and gradually made a name for yourself.

Senior Li Shizhen, are you really going to fail the exam?" Li Wu asked, just a little doubtful.

Senior Li Shizhen must have had an amazing memory, otherwise he would not have been able to remember so many herbs.

Li Shizhen nodded with a straight face. "Of course. Didn't the little fairy say that I failed the three times I took the exam? It seems that God didn't want me to take the imperial examination and wanted me to study medicine. But I have a talent for medicine, don't I?"

The others nodded in agreement. Of course, without talent, how could one possibly leave one's name behind for eternity? There were many doctors in ancient times, but not many of them could leave their names behind.

"That's right," Li Wu nodded. It was indeed true.

If Li Shizhen had really taken the official career exam, he probably would not be as famous as he is now, so Li Shizhen is indeed suitable for studying medicine.

Many people in front of the sky were thinking, could it be that they themselves were not suitable for what they were doing now?

"In the 23rd year of Emperor Jiajing's reign during the reign of Emperor Shizong of the Ming Dynasty, you, Li Shizhen, were only 33 years old.

Many people know you because you cured the illness of Prince Fushun Zhu Houkun's son. "
