Man Bao sighed and said, "Ma'am, there are only thirty-six people in our Taiyuan Hospital, and even Xiao Yuanzheng has to teach, and there are so many courses to teach, and this is only the first year, and there will be more courses next year." To recruit new students, although this is only one class, at least four gentlemen are needed to teach them. Regardless of the energy expended by the imperial physicians, the imperial court and His Majesty have spent a lot of money to set up the imperial medical office. Those who go to work as private doctors are different from disciples who want to go to medical offices and go to various places.”
Man Bao didn't speak clearly, but the meaning was clear.
What you want to support is a private doctor, are you ashamed to poach the wall of the imperial court and His Majesty
The queen sitting on the seat also sighed, "In order to build the imperial medical office, all the money in your majesty's private treasury was spent, and that's why Chang Yu's marriage was postponed for two years."
Ladies: ... Couldn't it be that Zhou Man said that it is not good for a woman to get married too early, and then the emperor felt sorry for his daughter and postponed it specially
Did you change your words today at the two previous palace banquets
But no one will point it out without knowing it. The queens even spoke up in person, even if they thought it was expensive, they wouldn't argue about these dozens of taels of silver.
So after they looked at each other, they agreed, "One hundred taels is one hundred taels, but you can reserve more of this quota for us."
Man Bao said: "Then double it, ten places will become twenty places." Seeing that they seemed reluctant, Man Bao immediately explained: "This small class can always take care of the students, no matter how many, Mr. has limited energy, and there will always be places that cannot be taken care of."
When everyone heard it, they couldn't help but agree.
After finishing the serious business, Mrs. Su Guogong stretched out her hand to hold Man Bao's hand and said with a smile: "Miss Zhou, come to my house if you have time. My second son's family is not feeling well recently, so I invited the doctor to see it." I know you are happy, and I want to invite you to show her."
Now that the doctor has been invited, there is no need for her to see it again, right
But Man Bao thought about it and nodded.
After sending Mrs. Su Guogong and others away, Man Bao glanced at Mrs. Zhao Guogong who was left behind, and also bowed and retreated.
Xiao Yuan, who had been staying in the side hall waiting for the news, saw it, came out immediately, leaned over and asked in a low voice: "What's the matter?"
Man Bao nodded at him, and whispered: "One hundred taels a year, twenty quotas, they accepted."
Xiao Yuanzheng was stunned for a moment, and asked: "Why did you tell them and why did you agree?"
Man Bao said: "I didn't say anything, I just talked about the difficulties of the Imperial Medical Office, and there is the empress, so it's not easy for them to dig into His Majesty's wall, right?"
Xiao Yuanzheng: ... Then why is it so embarrassing when you are directed at him
He looked up at Zhou Man, cleared his throat and said, "This is also your good luck. If the adults in the court hall come to talk, you will have to calculate every penny. It will definitely not be so straightforward."
Man Bao nodded approvingly, "Men are all stingy, not at all refreshing."
Xiao Yuanzheng: ...
I always feel that something seems wrong.
"Xiao Yuanzheng, the people they sent have to be taught individually. I will list a course later. You can discuss it with the imperial physicians?"
Xiao Yuanzheng was immediately distracted, he nodded and said: "Okay, you list the courses first, and I will go to Doctor Liu to discuss with them after you give me the list tomorrow."
Even if this matter is settled.
When Man Bao returned to the Chongwen Museum, he took out a pen and paper to list the courses they had to learn.
The initial courses are all pre-determined, and what she needs to list is later, but it is not difficult to list the courses after knowing what kind of doctor they want.
After all, the Tai Hospital has spent four months finalizing the curriculum of the entire Tai Medical Department. Basically, it is enough to pick out the courses that they must learn from those courses, and there are some courses that are more relevant.
After school, Bai Shan who came over saw that she was still writing hard, so he went up to take a look, and asked, "Why are you still writing the curriculum? Isn't this thing already settled?"
Man Bao explained to him while writing, saying: "I think this is a matter of mutual benefit, two thousand taels, this is not a lot of money."
Bai Shan asked with a smile, "Is Your Majesty still short of this money?"
"Do you know what it means to accumulate less to make more?" Man Bao said: "This place doesn't know how to save, that place doesn't know how to open up, and everyone doesn't know how to be thrifty. Even if your majesty has gold and silver, it's not enough."
"Not to mention the Ministry of Household Affairs. After I know the Ministry of Accountancy and the National Treasury, I have never heard any official say that the national treasury is abundant, and the money is not enough every year. The last time our Tai Medical Office wanted to buy an extra medicine cabinet, we did it. Twenty taels of silver were listed on the list, but the account department crossed them out, saying that one medicine cabinet is enough, why do you need two?"
Man Bao shook his head and said, "It's tight. If our medical office has money, do we still need to apply to the household department when buying a medicine cabinet? Just buy it, and you can buy ten sets at a time."
Bai Shanle, "Use five sets and lose five sets?"
Man Bao was also happy, nodded and said: "That's right."
After everyone left, Mrs. Zhao Guogong stepped forward and asked the queen in a gentle voice, "Your Majesty, is your majesty's private treasury really empty?"
The queen smiled and said, "Your Majesty is also for the livelihood of the people."
Mrs. Zhao Guogong said: "Then you can't spend all the money outside. After all, it is your private house, and you should save some for yourself and your children."
She said: "Princess Changyu is not young after all, even if she delays, she should be married in the next two years, not to mention that the fifth prince is about to leave the palace to start the mansion, and to entrust the land to the feudal clan. Where do you not want money for each item?"
Of course, the prince's palace was built by the Ministry of Households and the Ministry of Industry, but what could be in the newly built mansion
In the end, don't you have to subsidize it from the emperor and queen
Even though Concubine Yang would prepare for her son, the emperor would also give it to her. Even the empress would pay some money even just for the sake of face. Besides, the empress was good to the fifth prince, so she paid a lot.
Mrs. Zhao Guogong couldn't help worrying about the Queen, she asked in a low voice, "Do you want me and the Duke to send some money in?"
"Don't do it," the queen stopped her, and said with a smile: "It's not easy for a sister-in-law to take care of her family. Even if it's more difficult in the palace, it won't be like this. Don't worry."
Mrs. Zhao Guogong sighed, "I heard that the empress has cut off a group of maids, and my son sent another batch of maids to the Imperial Medical Office. It is said that the palace is difficult."
The queen didn't expect such words to come out from outside, and couldn't help but said: "It's just that the imperial medical office couldn't find a suitable girl outside, so I chose someone from the palace to take the top."
Seeing Mrs. Zhao Guogong's expression of disbelief, the queen paused and then changed the topic, "Why is my sister-in-law thinking of going to the imperial medical office to ask for someone like them?"
