Chapter 126 Righteousness
Before Mu Sheng came back, the system informed Yun Xi: "Host, the apprentice from the Imperial Medical Bureau that your man brought back wants to see you. He wants to know the details of those medical books."
Yun Xi: "Come if you want. I don't know anything anyway."
System: "...The apprentice he brought back was called Meng Shen."
"Who? Meng Shen! Didn't you tell me that this era was probably the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties? How could Meng Shen appear?"
They were people from the Tang Dynasty.
"Host, this is a parallel world. The development trajectory of each world is different. In your world, there were dumplings in the Eastern Han Dynasty, and there were tofu and soy milk in the Western Han Dynasty. Don't we have none of them in this world? Different worlds have different developments, which is normal. Moreover, there are countless Yun Xis in countless worlds, and each one is different, which is also normal. What's so strange about the existence of Meng Shen in this world?"
"Then why did you emphasize his name to me?"
"Just chatting."
Yun Xi: "... kneel down and pay your respects."
She is currently studying medicine and making medicine in the system's learning space, and her teacher is called Sun Simiao. It is unknown whether this teacher Sun is the Medicine King Sun recorded in the history of her original world.
Why is she a little sensitive to the name Meng Shen? Because in the original world, Sun Simiao had a disciple named Meng Shen, who was the originator of food therapy. He was also a scholar, a Jinshi, and served as Zhongshu Sheren and Tongzhou Governor. He was convicted for his words and offended the empress, so his official career was a bit bumpy.
"Host, I mentioned Meng Shen to you because I know you studied with Sun Simiao. But this Meng Shen is definitely not the other Meng Shen. This one studied medicine in Yaowang Mountain since he was young and never took the imperial examination."
"He wants to leave, but there is no imperial examination in this world!"
"Yes, yes, the host is right. Anyway, the world is different, and the people are different. The host will just treat him as someone with the same name. Apart from anything else, when the host lived, there were hundreds of people named Yun Xi. There are so many people with the same name!"
"Why are you still here?"
"The little one will withdraw now."
Mu Sheng walked in and said to her, "Dr. Meng from the Imperial Medical Bureau has read your medical books and wants to discuss something with you. Is that okay?"
Yun Xi nodded and smiled, "Of course I can, but I don't have much to share. I just read the book and didn't learn anything else."
"It's okay. He just wants to talk to you about a few book-related questions."
"Then let him come."
Mu Sheng asked someone to go to the front yard to invite someone. Apprentice Xiao Meng walked quickly, at the fastest speed while maintaining his demeanor.
Yun Xi looked at him and thought he should be less than 20 years old, very young.
Xiao Meng greeted Yun Xi and got straight to the point without any nonsense: "My name is Meng Shen. May I ask where did you get these medical books, Madam?"
Yun Xi: “…I bought it from a peddler.”
Come on, she used to be in the village. Peddler was the only excuse she could come up with.
Xiao Meng: “…”
Shocked and speechless.
How come he hasn't met such a peddler?
How could there be such a peddler in this world?
Mu Sheng glanced at Yun Xi and didn't comment on this statement. He felt that this might not be the case, and that Xi Xi might have had some misfortunes. But since she didn't say anything, he couldn't ask.
Later, when they spend more time together as a couple and Xixi trusts him more, she might tell him.
Xiao Meng asked, "Madam, have you seen all the medicines recorded in the book?"
Yun Xi: "...How is that possible! I just read the book, I can't even be considered as studying medicine! I have only seen a few kinds of herbs, most of which I have never heard of."
Xiao Meng: “…”
Yun Xi smiled and said, "I'm sure Doctor Meng has seen it all."
Xiao Meng: "I am ashamed. I have been studying medicine since I was young and I think I have learned a lot, but just now I flipped through a few pages of the book and found several drugs I have never seen before."
Yun Xi: "..."
This is not surprising at all. After the Tang Dynasty, many medicines were introduced into China from the Western Regions, India, Korea and other places. These medicines were gradually absorbed by doctors and integrated into the Chinese medicine system, becoming an indispensable part of Chinese medicine.
These have been recorded in medical books of all dynasties. For example, Li Xun's "Sea Medicine Materia Medica" in the Tang Dynasty recorded 96 kinds of foreign medicines. By the Song and Yuan Dynasties, due to breakthroughs in navigation technology, the exchange of Chinese and foreign medicines at sea became more frequent.
But in this era, judging from Meng Shen’s reaction, it is obvious that there are many things that have not yet been passed on.
After thinking for a while, Yun Xi said, "I'm not a doctor. I just read them as ordinary books to kill time. If Doctor Meng is interested, you might as well do some research to see if the medicinal herbs recorded in the books really exist."
Apprentice Xiao Meng's eyes lit up, and he bowed deeply to Yun Xi, saying, "Thank you, Madam, for your advice. I'm grateful for your advice."
Yun Xi: "...You're welcome. I didn't mention anything."
The system said: "You haven't even mentioned it yet. You're almost telling him to go travel around and try all kinds of herbs. Do you want him to be the Li Shizhen of this world?"
Yun Xi: "Retreat."
Meng Shen said, "I have a humble request. Madam, could you lend me this book so that I can copy it and then return the original?"
"can."
"Madam, righteousness!"
Yun Xi: "..."
Doctor Xiao Meng left excitedly with the book.
Mu Sheng asked, "Just let him take it away like that?"
Yun Xi: "They are just a few books I bought from a peddler, and I spent a few copper coins. If Doctor Meng is willing to study them, it's fine to give them to him. If they can help him improve his medical skills and medicine making, wouldn't it be good for everyone?"
The system told her that she could also earn points by promoting the development of the medical industry and increasing life expectancy.
Mu Sheng sighed: "Madam is indeed righteous."
Yun Xi accepted the compliment with a smile.
Although her doing this was somewhat related to points, she would still do it even if she didn't have points. It didn't make sense that she, who had a treasure trove of knowledge, had to watch the world struggle in poverty and backwardness for a thousand years, and might even be poor and weak and be suppressed and beaten in the end.
The arrival of the system will only allow her to do more, which is a quantitative change, not a qualitative change.
Changing the world is the core element, and earning points is incidental.
