In Chang 'an City, there were many people who did not know about Kong Yingda, but if they did not know about the King of Medicine, Sun Simiao, they would be laughed at immediately!
Before Sun Simiao arrived in Chang 'an City, he was already famous all over the world. In just one or two years, he had cured countless difficult and complicated diseases in Chang' an City. His reputation as a miracle-working doctor was well deserved, and he was respectfully called the King of Medicine!
Now, the King of Medicine was personally leading the charge of hair cutting, explaining in detail the dangers of head lice and the benefits of hair cutting. He called on the people to cut their hair to cure head lice, and the effect was naturally multiplied.
With the release of the Mo Journal, there were suddenly two opposing views in Chang 'an City. One was the people of rich families, who naturally had very few head lice, and had the ability to cure it with medicine. Naturally, they would spare no effort to support the Confucian journal and protect their hairstyle.
However, there were still a large number of poor commoners who suffered from head lice. The treatment fee of eight hundred copper coins was an astronomical figure for the poor. However, the Mo Family's method didn't cost a single copper coin. Furthermore, it guaranteed a complete cure! In addition, Mo Jiazi and Sun Simiao, one old and one young, were the leader of the School of Mo and the leader of the School of Medicine. They were two of the most influential people in Chang 'an City, and they set an example by cutting hair to cure head lice.
For the poor people who suffered from head lice, although they were tempted, they were still in a wait-and-see mode. After all, the customs of many years could not be easily changed.
The first to cut their hair were Mo Jiazi's brother and the disciples of the School of Medicine. Meton and Sun Simiao had already cut their hair, and naturally, there were many people who responded. Overnight, all the men in the Mo Hospital and the Mo Family Village had a crew cut.
With Mo Jiazi's brother and the disciples of the School of Medicine taking the lead, many people who were originally hesitant finally made up their minds.
The Song Family!
Song Shichao was a die-hard supporter of Morton. Ever since he missed out on the prize for the Living Fish Secret Technique, then won the Plum Snow Competition and won the prize of five kilograms of snow salt, he worshipped Morton even more. Even if his family was not well off, he would still write every issue of Morton's magazine.
Today, Song Shichao held the special issue of Mo Magazine and carefully read Sun Simiao's article. He touched his shiny braids and hesitated.
Head lice was an unspeakable pain in Song Shichao's heart. Not only was the itch unbearable, it had also spread to Song Shi. With Song Shi's tough personality, she naturally did not treat him well and gave him the cold shoulder.
"God damn it, it wasn't easy for me to get rid of the head lice. If you dare to infect me again, don't even think of stepping into this house!" Song Shi looked at Song Shichao with contempt and walked out of the house with a cold face.
Song Shichao suddenly felt a burst of bitterness in his heart. He looked at Meton's crew-cut hairstyle in the ink magazine and suddenly made up his mind. He picked up the two coins and walked out of the house to the craftsman who usually trimmed people's beards.
"Cut my hair according to Mo Jiazi's style!" Song Shichao slapped the magazine in front of the craftsman and said fiercely.
The craftsman was overjoyed when he heard this. He had naturally heard about the commotion caused by Meton's haircut. To others, it was a difficult choice, but to him, it was a good thing.
There were so many people in Chang 'an. Even if half of them needed a haircut, the craftsmen who trimmed long hair and beards like him could still make a lot of money.
Meton probably did not know that his unintentional action had given rise to a huge industry in the future, the haircutting industry!
"Okay, I guarantee you'll be satisfied!" The craftsman took the two coins without hesitation and picked up the tools. Soon, a crew-cut hairstyle was formed.
When the first crew-cut hairstyle appeared on the streets of Chang 'an, it was quickly followed by a second, a third …
More and more poor people followed suit. In Chang 'an, crew-cut hairstyles quickly appeared on the streets of Chang' an.
Inside the Pan Family Restaurant
"Shopkeeper Pan, what's going on? Your food has such a long strand of hair!" A customer picked up a long strand of hair from the food and said unhappily.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry! I'll bring you a new plate right away! "Shopkeeper Pan hurriedly stepped forward with an apologetic look on his face.
"No need, I've lost my appetite!" The customer flung his sleeves and turned to leave. He walked into a restaurant across the street.
A few customers who wanted to come in also stopped and turned to leave! "
Shopkeeper Pan was furious. He stormed into the kitchen and shouted at the chef, "From now on, if there's hair in the food again, I'll deduct your salary for that month!"
That afternoon, under Shopkeeper Pan's stunned gaze, the chef swaggered back with a crew-cut hairstyle while he was out shopping.
Inside the Xishan Military Camp. In one of the tents, Qin Huaiyu and the other two looked at Morton's crew-cut portrait on the magazine in front of them.
"Brother Mo's heart is for the world. He's willing to make such a big sacrifice for the people of the world," Qin Huaiyu praised.
Cheng Chumo nodded and said, "I heard that Great General Li submitted a memorial to His Majesty to implement the Recruit Plan. The first point was to eliminate the problem of head lice in the army, and Brother Mo's idea was one of them!"
Yuchi Baolin reached out and groped around his head. He grabbed a lice and squeezed it to death. He wiped the blood off in disgust and said impatiently, "What's the point of saying so much? Are we going to cut our hair or not?"
"Cut!"
"Of course!"
The two of them said in unison.
"For the sake of brotherhood, for the sake of Brother Mo, this young master has no choice but to part with my most beloved hair," Qin Huaiyu said with a sorrowful expression.
Cheng Chumo said righteously, "The Recruit Plan is a major event for the rise of the militarists. Eliminating head lice in the army is a top priority. As a member of the militarists, this Cheng must lead by example. What's the harm in giving up this beautiful hair?"
"Then let's hurry up. This old man has been sick of these lice for a long time." Yuchi Baolin ignored the two's hypocrisy and directly exposed them.
Other soldiers had been in the army for a long time or were born into ordinary families, so it was natural that head lice was a common occurrence. However, these three young masters had never been infected with head lice. In this long and arduous journey to the west, most of the soldiers had suffered from this disease. The three of them were naturally no exception.
The three of them, who had lived like princes, naturally could not stand the fact that there were still creatures wriggling on their heads. However, they did not dare to let others know for fear of being ridiculed. Unexpectedly, when news of Meton's broken hair came, the three of them were immediately stirred. They decided to use this opportunity to eliminate head lice once and for all.
"What are you rushing me for? Isn't it because you infected me? If it weren't for you, would I have gotten lice? "Cheng Chumo said snappily.
"What do you mean by I infected you? It's not certain who infected who. As far as I know, Huaiyu's horse was the first to get lice, "Yuchi Baolin said in a low voice.
"Don't slander me!" Qin Huaiyu flatly denied.
In the tent of the three, the voices of the three became softer and softer. Soon, the three of them each came out with a flat haircut. The entire Xishan Camp was instantly stirred up. Soon, they were surrounded by a crowd of soldiers.
Qin Huaiyu and the other two raised their heads and said, "We cut our hair for the sake of brotherhood and the recruit program. Now that we have been rewarded for our meritorious service, you will be returning home. If you don't want to infect your wives and children with head lice, you should take this opportunity to cut your hair and eradicate head lice. Otherwise, it will be too late for regrets."
Qin Huaiyu once again used Meton's trick, and sure enough, it worked every time.
With Mo Magazine's publicity, Qin Huaiyu and the other two young masters personally taking the lead, and with the sudden concern for their families, many soldiers decided to cut their hair and eradicate head lice.
At this moment, the trend of hair cutting in Chang 'an City was slowly spreading, and it seemed to be spreading from Chang' an City to the outside. It had already become a prairie fire.
