It was snowing heavily, but it still did not block the way of pedestrians. Vehicles on the official road kept coming and going. After all, the New Year was about to be celebrated, and many businesses were preparing for the New Year. In addition, there were people working and doing business in other places. At this time, they were also hurrying back home and reunite with their families. So although the weather was not good, there were many pedestrians on the official road.

An ingenious cavalry team was also mixed among these pedestrians. These cavalrymen were tall and big, and their armor was majestic. They could tell at a glance that they were imperial guards in the capital. This also kept the people around them at a certain distance from them. In the middle of the cavalry, there was a protected carriage with a small crack in the window of the carriage, and there was heat coming out from time to time.

"Actually, there is no need to accompany me." Zhang Zong in the carriage looked helplessly at Taiping Dao in front of him, while Wan'er next to him was cooking tea for them. Under the roasting of the fire, the entire carriage was warm and there was no feeling the cold outside.

"That's not possible. How can my husband leave me alone and go to Fengkong Mountain? And I heard that the scenery there is quite good. I didn't have the chance before. Now, since my husband is going, I can accompany you to enjoy the snow scenery in the mountains." Taiping said with a naughty smile.

Fengkong Mountain is located five miles east of Huayuan County, just north of Chang'an City, and is only separated from Chang'an. Sanyuan County is the hometown of Li Jing, the god of the Tang Dynasty. When passing by Sanyuan County before, Zhang Zong went to see Li Jing's hometown, where there was a ancestral hall established by the Li clan members for Li Jing. However, after Li Jing died, he buried Zhaoling with him, and his children and grandchildren were also in Chang'an, so there were only a few old servants taking care of the old house here.

Zhang Zong was going to Fengkong Mountain this time. Because there are many cracks on the rocks on the mountain, whenever the strong wind blows, strange sounds will be found in the pores in the rocks, and this mountain is named after it. In addition, the rocks here are very strong and can be found with jade-like sounds when knocking, so this place is also called Qingyu Mountain.

However, whether it is Fengkong Mountain or Qingyu Mountain, they are both names from the Tang Dynasty. In the later generations where Zhang Zong was located, there is a more resounding and more known name here, that is Yaowang Mountain, because this is the retreat place where the King of Medicine Sun Simiao lived in his later years. However, now Sun Simiao is still alive, and the name of Yaowang is not as widely circulated as in later generations, so the mountains here naturally still use their original name.

"I'm visiting the old miracle doctor Sun this time, but to travel around." Zhang Zong said helplessly when he heard Taiping's words. He originally wanted to come alone, but when Taiping knew about it, he insisted on coming. As a result, when she set off, she had to bring a large number of guards. Although this place is very close to Chang'an and it is generally impossible for danger to happen, she still has to be careful.

"I know, actually, I met the old miracle Doctor Sun when I was young. At that time, he even treated his elder brother. Unfortunately, he could only relieve his elder brother's condition, but could not cure it." Taiping said indifferently.

In fact, the reason why she followed Zhang Zong out was not just to entangle Zhang Zong, but that she was trapped in Chang'an City since she was a child and had no chance to go out at all. Now that she is getting married, of course she has to find an opportunity to walk around.

Zhang Zong also understood Taiping's thoughts, and when he heard this, he shook his head helplessly, but he didn't say anything else. However, Taiping had the advantage of following him, that is, he could let the old miracle doctor Sun feel the importance and sincerity of the court.

Last time, Zhang Zong took the initiative to find something to do and took over the Imperial Medical Office's promotion of cowpox cultivation across the country. However, he put forward a condition, that is, to make a huge reform of the Tang Dynasty's medical system, especially the talent training mechanism. It is necessary to overturn the original inefficient master-apprentice system and change it to university teaching, thereby increasing medical talents.

Li Hong was very cautious about Zhang Zong's proposal. After all, as long as it is related to the institutional issues of the court institutions, it will definitely not be a trivial matter. Although the Imperial Medical Office does not seem to be a particularly important yamen, if it is messed up, it will still have a serious impact on the Tang Dynasty.

So in this case, Li Hong did not give an answer immediately. Instead, after considering it for a few days and summoning several of his confidant ministers to discuss it, he finally came to a conclusion: although Zhang Zong's idea was very good, Zhang Zong himself was not able to implement his plan.

The reason is actually very simple. If you want to reform the Tang Dynasty's medical system, you must be promoted by people within the medical system. This person not only needs to understand medical skills, but also must have a huge reputation in medicine. In other words, as long as this person speaks, most people will definitely believe and obey. Only in this way can the reform be implemented.

Although Zhang Zong invented the technology of growing vowel, which has promoted the development of medicine. Many medical officials also have a good impression of him, his reputation in medical care is still far from enough and is not enough to promote such reforms. If tough measures are used, it may cause a huge rebound. After all, if you want to change the current situation of medical care, it may shake the original interests of many people. Most people's eyes are short-sighted, so the resistance to reform is also extremely great.

Zhang Zong also understood his own shortcomings, but he quickly considered that he did not have enough reputation in medical care, but he could borrow other people's reputation. Speaking of this, who else can compare with Sun Simiao, a world-famous genius doctor?

Sun Simiao is now over 100 years old, and it is said that he is in good health. At that time, Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang and his wife highly praised him and even regarded him as a god. However, Sun Simiao was indifferent to fame and fortune and was even more unwilling to be an official. In addition, he was old, so he returned to his hometown in a few years, which was Fengkong Mountain.

However, even so, Li Zhi still asked Sun Simiao to come out of the mountain to become an official many times. In the end, Sun Simiao refused and could only send one of his apprentices Liu Shenwei as an official. As a result, Liu Shenwei was immediately appointed as Fengyu of Shangyao Bureau, a fifth-rank senior official, who was responsible for treating the emperor's illness, and his status was several levels higher than the order of the Imperial Medical Office.

It is worth mentioning that before Zhang Zong presented medicine to Li Hong, Li Hong's condition was always treated by Liu Shenwei. In addition, Sun Simiao's other disciples also worked in Shang Pharmaceutical Bureau or the Imperial Medical Office.
