She just listened to it when she entered the palace, and she said to Feng Zongping: "Your grandfather must know about this, why don't you ask him?"
Feng Zongping muttered: "I didn't pass the exam, why would my grandfather tell me this?"
But he was still very happy, and said to Yi Ziyang: "In this way, even if you show your face in front of His Majesty, even if your ranking is not advanced, His Majesty will think of you when something mentions you in the future."
Even if you can't remember it, some officials who have a good relationship with the Yi family will hint a thing or two to let His Majesty remember, that's how contacts are used.
Yi Ziyang was also a little happy.
To thank Zhou Man for the information, Yi Ziyang ordered another big meatball.
Man Bao happily accepted.
Feng Zongping asked her, "How is your experiment going?"
The fact that the Tai Hospital was doing smallpox tests was not publicized. Only some officials in the court knew that Feng Zongping would know not even Feng Shangshu's intention, but from Bai Shan and the others.
After all, they were both in the Chongwen Museum, and Zhou Man suddenly often didn't live in the palace, and could only see her in the cafeteria every now and then, so he couldn't help but inquire.
Although it is not good to publicize this matter, after all, a piece of land in the suburbs of Beijing is specially set aside to raise smallpox patients, and the public may panic after the news spreads.
But this is also a merit, and it is not a secret in the court, so Bai Shan said it directly.
The consequence is that the people headed by Zhao Liulang can stay as far away from the eastern suburbs as they can in recent times, and now they don't even go to the horse farms in the eastern suburbs.
I heard that in the past 20 days, the East Suburb Racecourse couldn't make up a polo match, it was exactly the same as when smallpox was raging some time ago.
By the time the steward of the racecourse knew that there was a smallpox patient locked up in the imperial hospital in Huangzhuang, the business of the racecourse was already bleak.
It was useless for him to find the owner. In the words of the owner, "Let's not say that this matter was decided by the ministers in the court. Just say that where the house is now, who can let them move out?"
"Be patient, just wait until they finish the experiment."
"How long will that take?"
The other party waved his hand indifferently and said: "A smallpox patient can live or die for ten days and a half months at most. If you count more time, twenty days is enough. Let's just wait, and I will take the lead when they move away." Just hold a polo match, give more prizes, and get people back."
Unexpectedly, they just received a smallpox patient who died in Huangzhuang, and two others survived, and then the Criminal Department selected twelve more prisoners to send over.
The Ministry of Industry sent craftsmen to bring the servants of Huangzhuang to build three more rooms next to the courtyard for these prisoners to live in. There are four people in each room, which is also very spacious.
The owner and steward of the Eastern Suburb Racecourse heard that they almost spit out a mouthful of blood, and finally gritted their teeth: "Forget it, let's do the event first, we are thirty miles away from the imperial city, and the flowers won't grow wings to fly over that day. Didn’t it mean that their house is far away from Longshou Canal? Even the water used is staggered.”
The steward said: "But those gentlemen and ladies, how do you care about this? I just think that our racecourse and Huangzhuang are in the eastern suburbs..."
"Under great profits, there must be brave men. We issued an announcement to invite some well-played teams from Beijing and Yongzhou to warm up the game. The lottery will be higher. As long as someone comes, I don't believe those young masters will not come."
Those aristocratic young men and young ladies in the capital might mind this, but those who play polo for a living certainly won't mind. When they warm up the venue, will those young men and young ladies who like to join in the fun come
It's just a lot of expenses for nothing.
He couldn't bear the pain in his heart, and then asked: "By the way, besides Xiao Yuanzheng, who else is the leading imperial physician at the imperial hospital?"
"I heard that there are also Imperial Physicians Lu and Imperial Physicians Zhou."
"Physician Zhou," he remembered, then gritted his teeth and said, "Let's set up the venue first, and when the time comes, we will also post posts to the three imperial physicians and give them money to be judges."
The steward: "... Let the imperial physician be the judge?"
The owner said: "This is for their peace of mind. Just invite a few more reliable judges. The scores of the three of them don't matter too much."
Only then did the steward agree, and then asked: "The yijin given..."
The owner thought for a while and said, "Twelve taels, that's not a lot."
The steward responded and took the order to go.
Man Bao didn't know that extra money would come to her door. She was looking at the twelve prisoners who had just been sent to her door in Huangzhuang.
The age groups are over 30 years old, 25 to 30 years old, 20 to 25 years old, and under 20 years old.
There are four people in each age group, and the age difference between them is not very big.
Man Bao numbered them from number four to number fifteen. They were still arranged according to age.
Number fifteen is the youngest.
Four people share a room. After the numbers are numbered, she also wrote a piece of paper and pasted them on the bedside, so that the servants and prisoners can better match their numbers.
Man Bao and Doctor Lu of Xiao Yuanzheng examined them and said, "Let's rest for a few days before I start."
Then they also prescribed meals for them.
No. 2 and No. 3 who survived next door did not have such treatment, but the food and drink were still much better than in prison, and because they no longer had the smallpox virus, Xiao Yuan is asking people to remove their shackles, and then arrange to enter The servants join the servants in taking care of the twelve newcomers.
He said: "Anyway, sending them back to the Ministry of Punishment is to stay in the prison and grow worms. It's better to stay here and make the best use of everything. And I also want to see if they will be infected if they continue to contact smallpox patients."
Man Bao and Imperial Physician Lu nodded in agreement.
The servants and the imperial guards guarding outside are already very experienced, so they don't need to worry too much about the three imperial doctors, they just prescribe a meal and give them acupuncture to recuperate their bodies.
The craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry led people to build three rooms on the other side of the yard, the middle one was the pharmacy, and the left and right two rooms were the resting rooms of the imperial doctors.
In this way, they don't have to travel far to get a change of clothes, and the medicine cabinet no longer needs to be kept in the main room. Even the smallpox scabs that have been kept in the box have been moved to the pharmacy and locked up.
After finishing all this, three days passed.
Man Bao and Xiao Yuan checked the physical conditions of the twelve patients and said: "In two days, we should be able to start vaccination."
Xiao Yuanzheng also thinks so, this time the base is bigger than last time, and more thoughtful, he is still a little nervous when talking about it, I hope everything goes well.
After the physical examination, Man Bao put away the medicine box and said goodbye. The vaccinia hadn’t been planted yet, so they didn’t have to stay overnight. Xiao Yuanzheng walked with her, but the carriage was not far from Huangzhuang. As he came galloping, he was about to pass them by, reining in his horse and shouting: "Is the doctor Zhou in the car?"
Man Bao lifted the curtain of the car and said in surprise when he saw the person coming: "Mingli? Why are you here?"
Mingli was overjoyed, "Miss Man, I'm going to invite you, my wife is about to give birth."
