I Can Talk to the Internal Organs

"Great, Brother Da, your idea is really not bad!" Lu Jiu laughed.

An Xianda laughed, "It was after seeing your Five Viscera comics and hearing your idea of establishing a Youth Palace that I came up with this thought. I must say, your Five Viscera comics are really something. Despite having so much informational content, they always manage to tell a story to the children, making things that are usually difficult to remember and understand suddenly become simple and easy to grasp."

"It seems your understanding of traditional Chinese medicine has surpassed most of us."

Being able to describe complex knowledge in simple language requires exceptionally strong comprehension skills.

An Xianda admitted he couldn’t do what Lu Jiu did, and he didn’t think others could either.

Even their teacher, Huang Fusheng, was not as good as Lu Jiu in this regard.

Lu Jiu suddenly realized a problem, "But I heard that to publish a book, you need to apply for a book number. It might not be possible in a short time."

An Xianda shook his head, "If it’s free and not for sale, you don’t need to apply for a book number, especially for children’s picture books. We’re officially giving them to students to read. Of course, before that, you must register the copyright because the content of the Five Viscera comics is edited by you. This part belongs to you. If the influence expands in the future, we can apply for a book number for formal publication."

"Once your Five Viscera comics are promoted in Jianghan, you’ll be raking in money just from royalties, like drinking water. Tsk, tsk, tsk, I really envy you, making money is like drinking water for you."

It’s well known that the top ranker on China’s author rich list is a children’s literature writer.

These days, making money from kids is the easiest, especially through books and picture albums.

Many authors even collaborate with schools to force students to buy their books.

Sometimes they just give a lecture in a school and sell books, and they make millions in one go.

This is not an exaggeration.

For instance, a certain children’s literature author with the last name Cao was exposed for bundling his books with school sales.

This is why An Xianda envied Lu Jiu.

As long as Jianghan, as a pilot city, shows better results after a few years of assessment, the authorities will surely take notice.

By then, once they understand the situation and learn about Lu Jiu’s Five Viscera comics, the other pilot cities will surely follow suit.

After all, everyone is exploring, and if the official textbooks are too slow in teaching, supplementing with extracurricular readings to cover knowledge points is a common practice.

By then, if all eight pilot cities use Lu Jiu’s Five Viscera comics, the sales would be terrifying.

"But that’s for later, when will the results of this assessment be out?" Lu Jiu asked.

"They’ll be out this afternoon. There are only a dozen or so classes’ papers, so it’s quick to grade." An Xianda said.

"Great, I’ll finish eating and then go for a consultation. I’ll wait for the results this afternoon." Lu Jiu said.

"OK," An Xianda said.

...

At half-past four in the afternoon, Lu Jiu was in the middle of a consultation.

An Xianda had already posted the results of each class in the group they had created earlier.

Lu Jiu took a moment to check and, as expected, the class he led was at the top.

All the students passed, and more than thirty of them got perfect scores.

Right below his class was Tang Yi’s class, half of his students passed, and two even got perfect scores.

This made Tang Yi extremely happy, especially the two perfect scores, which really came as a surprise to him.

Further down, the students’ scores were somewhat disappointing.

Some even scored in the single digits, clearly indicating those students hadn’t even looked at the book, otherwise, they couldn’t possibly score just single digits on multiple-choice questions.

Others were puzzled by how outstanding Lu Jiu’s class results were.

"Lu Jiu, how did you manage it? How come more than half of your students got perfect scores?" Zuo Quan was quite surprised.

"Yeah, and they all passed. Are you saying all the students you have are fans of traditional Chinese medicine?" Fu Xingfa said.

"That’s not right. With a class of about fifty students, if all of them were fans of traditional Chinese medicine and Lu Jiu met them, he might as well buy a lottery ticket tomorrow," Xu Zhong said.

"It must be the teaching method. But the lead is just too much; I find it hard to accept," Lan Mei said, half laughing, half crying.

"Is Tang Yi’s class stronger than ours too? Are kids just more fond of younger people?" Wang Xinda asked.

"Get out of here. You’re old, but I’m still young," Zeng Mengcheng said.

"Xianda, does the teacher know about these scores?" Zuo Quan asked.

"Yes, the teacher is very angry and wants us to have a meeting after work," An Xianda replied.

"What?!" Everyone was shocked.

...

Before long, the end of the workday arrived.

Lu Jiu tidied up and headed to Huang Fusheng’s office.

At the moment, An Xianda and others were already standing inside as punishment.

"I asked you to lead the students, and you managed to do it like this!?"

"Mengcheng, out of 53 students in your class, six passed, and thirty-eight scored in single digits. With such results submitted, where can I show my face?"

"And you, Lan Mei, haven’t you been doing well leading students in the hospital? Why is it that with a bunch of kids, the results are so poor?"

Lan Mei smiled helplessly, "Teacher, I really don’t know how to teach kids."

Teaching new doctors and teaching elementary school children are two completely different things.

With the former, you just need to explain the knowledge to them, but with the latter, they’re not interested in traditional Chinese medicine at all. No matter what you teach, if they’re not listening, they’ll never learn, leaving Lan Mei at a loss on how to teach.

"Then how come all the students in Lu Jiu’s class passed?" Huang Fusheng asked.

This...

The others were speechless.

The gap was just too wide.

And that’s just comparing the number of passes; if they compared the number of perfect scores, there’s no contest.

Except for Tang Yi’s class, which had two perfect scores, all the other classes scored zero eggs.

"Teacher, let me show you something."

At this moment, An Xianda handed over the Five Viscera comics he got from Tang Yi to Huang Fusheng.

Huang Fusheng took it and casually flipped through a couple of pages, and was instantly captivated.

It wasn’t that the content was profound, but this way of presenting traditional Chinese medicine was something he had never seen before.

"Whose is this?" After reading it, Huang Fusheng asked.

An Xianda pointed to Lu Jiu, "Lu Jiu made it himself. There are three volumes of this comic, and it’s because of this comic that the students in his class started to take an interest in traditional Chinese medicine. Honestly, this comic is much more effective than our textbooks."

"While the textbooks tell stories of ancient traditional Chinese medicine, Lu Jiu has personified the Five Viscera, using their voices to describe body structures and functions. I think this approach should really be widely promoted. Teacher, what do you say if we talk to the city officials and have them discuss with the education bureau about turning Lu Jiu’s Five Viscera comics into extracurricular reading material for students to read for free?"

Looking at the comic book in his hand and the top-notch performance of Lu Jiu’s class,

Huang Fusheng also thought An Xianda’s proposal was excellent.

Originally intending to reprimand a few students, Huang Fusheng now turned his gaze to Lu Jiu.

"Why didn’t you bring out this good stuff earlier, kid?"

...
