Chapter 127 - Provoke
The courtyard was not far, and the carriage was only an hour's journey away.
Tang Yue was helped out of the carriage by Crown Prince Zhao, and before he could sigh about how well he had been taken care of, he heard a group of people greeting him.
He looked up and saw that there were already people kneeling on the ground outside the house. Even the cleaning lady was among them.
Tang Yue realized that Crown Prince Zhao did not lack people to inform others every time he went out. He always had the posture to welcome them before they arrived. Perhaps he had even cleaned up the outside of the courtyard once again.
However, thinking about it, even modern leaders had to go out. Moreover, in the strict hierarchy of ancient times, it was still within Tang Yue's acceptable range.
“Rise.” Crown Prince Zhao let go of Tang Yue's hand and stepped into the courtyard's main door first. This place was arranged according to Tang Yue's requirements, inside and outside. There were teaching buildings, dormitories, laboratories, and activity grounds.
In the vast and sparsely populated Nanjin Dynasty, Tang Yue didn't have to worry about the size of the courtyard when he set it up. Therefore, this courtyard was already the size of a modern school.
Of course, the facilities and personnel arrangement would definitely not be able to keep up.
A group of people followed behind Crown Prince Zhao's butt and walked in a low and pleasing manner. Tang Yue took him around first and then brought him into the laboratory.
The lab didn't have much equipment or medicine. There were medical books on one wall, and there was also a wall with all kinds of common formulas and herbs. In addition, there were syringes, tubes, and bottles of liquid on each table.
“Does a nurse need to learn medical skills? Doesn't that mean she won't be able to graduate in three or five years?” Crown Prince Zhao took a bamboo scroll from the bookshelf and flipped through it.
Most of the medical books here were found by Yueyang Marquis for Tang Yue, and some were obtained by Crown Prince Zhao. They were probably more complete than those in the Imperial Medical Office.
“No need, but they need to know the basic medical and pharmacology. Otherwise, it will be difficult to grasp the weight and severity of the medicine during the process of taking care of the patient. But as long as they are willing to learn, I am encouraging them to walk the path of doctor.”
The lack of doctors in South Jin was an indisputable fact. Not to mention military doctors, even the daily number of doctors was pitifully few. Most people did not experience medical treatment from birth to death. When they were sick and in pain, the most they could do was pick some medicinal herbs that were passed down from mouth to mouth to treat.
Crown Prince Zhao nodded and sat in Tang Yue's usual teaching position. He planned to be a bystander.
When Tang Yue saw that everyone was so nervous that they did not even know where to put their hands, he suddenly had the feeling that the head of the Education Bureau came to inspect the work.
He coughed and said loudly, “Sit down. Today we are learning intravenous injections. The blood vessels in the human body are divided into three types: intravenous, arteries, and capillaries. Intravenous means to transport blood from every part of the body back to the blood vessels in the heart.
There is a syringe on the table in front of you. This thing is not unfamiliar to everyone. It was personally taught by Master. Their function is to inject medicinal liquid or nutrient solution into the human body through the veins and accelerate the effects of the medicine.
Seeing everyone's confused expression, Tang Yue did not explain further. He only emphasized, “As a nurse, intravenous injections is the most basic course. Everyone must learn it. The patient may use this regardless of the severity of the illness.”
In front of you are two bottles of water. One is colorless, and the other is red. You should familiarize yourself with the usage of the syringe first. After that, I will teach you how to inject in the human body.
A group of burly men did things very quickly and swiftly, but it would be difficult to make them do fine work.
This was also why most nurses were women.
Tang Yue let them practice by themselves. He walked to Crown Prince Zhao with the syringe and sat down in front of him. He rolled up his sleeves and showed Crown Prince Zhao his elbow, explaining the main parts of the human intravenous injection to Crown Prince Zhao.
“Do you mean if there is too much blood, you can take the blood from other people and inject it into the patient's body?” Crown Prince Zhao had heard a lot of modern medical knowledge from Tang Yue, but he did not study medicine. He could not understand what it meant beyond words.
“Theoretically, as long as the blood type is the same, you can receive blood transfusion. As long as the patient does not have rejection, this is not a major surgery.” Blood transfusion was very common. Tang Yue only needed a centrifuge to perform blood type mating and blood transfusion.
Tang Yue used a syringe to draw out a tube of mixed saline water. He inserted it into the veins on the back of his hand and pushed it forward bit by bit. It hurt so much that his forehead was covered in sweat.
It could be seen that a doctor might not be able to do a good job as a nurse.
Crown Prince Zhao had been watching his actions with a frown and did not stop him. However, when Tang Yue pulled out the needle, he immediately held his hand gently and looked at the back of his hand.
“Does it hurt?”
“It hurts a little bit,” Crown Prince Zhao said. “I'm not used to it.” Tang Yue forced a smile.
The back of his hand was bleeding. Tang Yue pressed it with his finger. Before he could do anything, the man had already waved his finger away. He used the tip of his tongue to lick away the blood on the wound.
Tang Yue only felt a slippery thing swimming on the back of his hand. It was numb and itchy. His throat was almost smoking.
“Your Highness…” There were so many people watching. Could they save him some face?
At least he was the teacher of this group of students. What did the students think of him doing such an ambiguous act in public?
“Don't talk. Don't stab yourself in the future if you have nothing to do. If you need someone, I'll get you one.”
Tang Yue looked down and found that everyone was looking down at the syringe in their hands. No one dared to look at them. He secretly heaved a sigh of relief.
However, when he realized what Crown Prince Zhao meant, he hesitated and refused. “Although medicine requires a lot of human materials, I don't recommend using living bodies for experiments.”
“I understand your concerns, but there are still a lot of death row prisoners in the South Jin prison. Rather than letting them die happily, it would be better to contribute their final value.”
Tang Yue rubbed his nose and asked in a low voice, “Then can the death row prisoners who contributed their value be reduced?”
After all, they were people who contributed to the medical field, so it was not too much to give them some rewards, right?
Crown Prince Zhao shook his head. “A prisoner who contributed to the death penalty committed an unforgivable crime. At most, a prisoner who contributed to the death penalty can get some compensation for his family.”
Tang Yue thought for a moment and felt that this was fine as well. After all, he had given them a chance to seek benefits for their family.
After everyone familiarized themselves with the inhalation and release of the syringe, Tang Yue told them how to find the veins in the human body, as well as the procedure and precautions for injections.
This was not something that could be learned in a single lesson. Tang Yue only came for two hours a day. Today, he stayed in the courtyard for half a day. He only returned after dragging Crown Prince Zhao to the courtyard for lunch.
Xiang Ann had been quietly following Tang Yue. When Tang Yue was teaching, he also followed him. When Tang Yue left, he would shamelessly follow him.
The carriage went back the way it came. Along the way, Crown Prince Zhao was called away by someone. It seemed that there was movement at the border. It was unknown if another war was coming.
Xiang Ann sneaked a glance at Tang Yue's face and asked carefully, “Master, if the Crown Prince goes to war, do you want to go with him?”
“Why do you ask?”
Xia An pulled Tang Yue's sleeve and looked up at him. “If so, can you persuade Father to let his disciple go with you?”
“You are still young!” Tang Yue glared at him. He did not have the guts to bring a little ghost to the battlefield.
He had never seen a real battlefield, but those who had some common sense knew that you were a place with a slim chance of survival. Any accident could happen.
“It's not small, it's not small. His Highness was only ten years old when he went to the battlefield.” Xiang Ann laughed. “Besides, my disciple doesn't need to use a spear to kill the enemy. He just needs to hide in the back.”
Tang Yue did not agree. He replied in one sentence. “We'll talk about it when the time comes.”
Xiang Ann knew Tang Yue did not agree when he heard that. He was thinking about trying to act cute. He remembered that Father's concubines always begged Father for help. Before they could do anything, they heard a loud noise outside.
He subconsciously went in front of Tang Yue and opened his arms to block his way.
Tang Yue was amused but also touched. He pulled him to his side and sat down. “You are not a warrior. Can you protect me?”
Xiang Ann shook his head in frustration. He gritted his teeth and said, “If there is any danger, I can at least promise not to let Master die in front of me.”
Tang Yue was moved. He rubbed his head and said, “Alright. Keep your heart for your wife and son. I don't need you to protect me.”
There was the sound of blades and swords clashing outside. Tang Yue held the dagger in his hand. He lifted the curtain and looked outside. His guards surrounded the carriage. He could not see what was happening outside.
He called the mountain to the front and asked about it. Only then did he know that someone had come out halfway and thrown something on the carriage. However, the thing was knocked down before it touched the carriage.
“What did you throw? Have you seen it?”
“Yes, yes… yes…” Shan's face was full of anger. He hesitated and did not say it out loud.
“Oh?” Tang Yue ordered him to bring it over. He wanted to see it with his own eyes.
“No, young dandy should stop looking. It's not a good thing.”
Tang Yue smiled. “Then at least let me know what happened and not let me be blind.”
“Young master, forgive me!” Shan quickly knelt down and saluted. Then, he went to bring the things over.
He did not let Tang Yue take over. Instead, he put it on the ground and opened it. Tang Yue only glanced at it and immediately frowned.
“Wow…” Xiang Ann made a sound that seemed to be surprised.
Tang Yue turned his head to look at him and found that his eyes had become brighter. He did not know what to say. What kind of disciple did he take in?
Why was he so excited every time he saw a part of a human body?
At this moment, a loud laugh came from outside. “Haha… I heard that young master is able to kill human flesh and bones and cut open the abdomen to save people. I wonder if I can repair all of these internal organs?”
Tang Yue waved his hand and pinched the space between his brows. He instructed Shan, “Those who are bored, just chase them away and continue on your journey.”
Tang Yue did not even have the slightest interest in scheming against such a person. Regardless of whether he was acting personally or being controlled by others, this kind of provocation was not enough to make him angry.
