Xiao Yuan was talking to them about the work, then looked at Man Bao, and said with a smile: "I have seen the eggs and vegetables in your village, and the price and items are good."
Man Bao cheered up and asked, "Then do we want to buy it here?"
Xiao Yuanzheng nodded with a smile and said: "It's a pity that your family's output is not very large. I have already asked your fifth brother to contact the steward here. The specific matters will be discussed by them, but the price is right. I will buy as much as I can.”
Man Bao became happy, and said to Imperial Physician Lu: "Emperor Lu, then we will be able to eat the things produced in my village in a short time."
Doctor Lu glanced at her and said, "Is there any difference between the eggs and vegetables produced by your Zhuangzi and those produced by others?"
Man Bao: "Is it more delicious psychologically?"
Doctor Lu ignored her.
Man Bao became triumphant, and Imperial Physician Lu couldn't help reminding her, "Principal Zhou, be careful if someone says you are favoritism."
Man Bao said: "No, I have never had contact with the manager of Huangzhuang. He probably won't give a high price. This kind of batch of things will lower the price a little bit. As long as our things are not broken, even if someone says, It’s impossible to become a reality, so what are you afraid of?”
Xiao Yuanzheng also smiled and said: "Yes, it's hard not to be envied by the character and talent of Imperial Physician Zhou, so don't pay too much attention to the rumors outside, as long as it's not the truth."
At this time, the two talked very easily, and Xiao Yuanzheng felt that as long as the other party was smart, he would know to step aside and change the next account, and he could turn a blind eye and pretend that he didn't know.
As a result, he left Zhou Man and Imperial Physician Lu, and when he was about to go home, Xiao Yuan was about to inquire about the purchase. When he went to the other side of Huangzhuang to see the steward, he realized that the business with Zhou's family had not been completed.
Xiao Yuanzheng, who had already boasted about Haikou at Zhou Man: ...
He couldn't help asking the steward, "Why didn't it work?"
The steward lowered his eyebrows and said, "There are too few things produced by Zhoujiazhuangzi. Only after we got in touch with each other did we realize that there are not many things that Lord Wu can produce. Moreover, he also said that the area in Yongzhou has been cold recently. , Frost and dew have damaged a lot of vegetables, and even the chickens raised have suffered from the cold and reduced egg laying. We can’t get what we want for a few weeks, so... "
Xiao Yuanzheng lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, "If that's the case, then just buy less. We want as much as they can give."
The steward looked embarrassed, "But it's a little troublesome to count things and settle accounts like this."
"If there are not enough people under the steward, I can send a few people over to help," Xiao Yuanzheng's face was a little dark, and anyone could see that he was angry.
The steward was a little apprehensive, but thinking of the consequences of retreating, he still gritted his teeth and insisted: "My lord, I planned to do the same at first, but Master Wu said that their restaurant also needs a lot of things every day. , it is difficult to supply our own family, let alone supply our side.”
Xiao Yuanzheng sneered and said: "You mean that the Zhou imperial physician and the Zhou family deliberately went around this circle to fool me? They came to me even if they didn't have any goods?"
The steward lowered his head and did not speak, but he did not retreat.
Xiao Yuan got up right away, looked down at him and said, "I don't care if you usually fool this and that, but Tai Hospital can't do it."
He said: "The Imperial Medical Office does not have income like other departments. All expenditures depend on the private treasury of the Ministry of Households and His Majesty. Life has always been tight. What you are doing is cutting off the back of our Imperial Medical Office. You are breaking it." The back road of the Tai Medical Department is to cut off the front road of the Tai Hospital!"
The steward was startled, and quickly knelt down and said, "My lord, I don't dare to fool the Tai Hospital. Everything I said today is true."
Xiao Yuanzheng snorted coldly, threw his sleeves and left.
He calmed down after getting into the car, "Turn around and go to the palace."
Tonight, Imperial Physician Zheng was on duty in the Imperial Hospital, and Imperial Physician Liu was still compiling medical books, so he did not leave the palace. Seeing that Xiao Yuan was leaving and returning, he asked curiously, "Why are you back?"
Xiao Yuanzheng said angrily what the steward of Huangzhuang should do, and said: "I'll come into the palace and ask who is behind this steward."
It's not difficult to ask. At that time, the emperor directly handed over these matters to the Ministry of Internal Affairs, because they were in charge of Huangzhuang. They wanted to build a house in Huangzhuang, and they had to find people in Yeting Palace and other places. Slaves and servants who come to test must pass the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Just as Xiao Yuan thought about it, he called a medical assistant who was more diligent with the Ministry of Internal Affairs and asked him to go to the Ministry of Internal Affairs to inquire now.
Imperial Physician Liu asked with a smile, "So what can you do if you find out? Why don't you still sue His Majesty for such a trivial matter?"
Xiao Yuan just sneered, of course he wouldn't directly sue the emperor, wouldn't that put the entire Imperial Hospital on the opposite side of the Ministry of Internal Affairs
The reason he didn't want to make a big deal all the time was because he didn't want to use the hospital to go head-to-head with these people in the palace.
After all, unlike the other three provinces and six ministries, they work in the imperial city, but their Taiyuan Hospital works in Miyagi, and everything they do is under the management of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Among other things, their imperial physicians were going to the harem for consultation, and every door they passed, the locks on the doors, and the palace guards were disciplined by the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
Therefore, if the Imperial Hospital and the Ministry of Internal Affairs are against each other, except for those who are highly valued and liked by His Majesty, everyone else may be embarrassed.
There are only Xiao Yuanzheng and Zhou Man in the entire Imperial Hospital.
Zhou Man may be okay, but Xiao Yuan is not right, he is the chief official of the Tai Hospital, even if it is just a doctor who is suffering, that is his problem.
Therefore, Xiao Yuanzheng cannot be alone.
The medical assistant finally came back when it was getting dark, and said to Xiao Yuan, "The people at Huangzhuang were all arranged by Master Xin Chun."
Xiao Yuanzheng frowned slightly, "Isn't the Ministry of Internal Affairs under the care of Tong's internal servant? Why did Xin Chun arrange people?"
"The servant boy is sick. These things were arranged by Mr. Xin Chun years ago. He was in charge of things like shopping and has close contacts with the Ministry of Internal Affairs. I heard that he is going to take over the servant boy."
Xiao Yuanzheng: "...he wants to get clean?"
The medical assistant was stunned for a moment and then said: "No, he only takes over part of the work, and the arrangement of the servants in the harem is naturally in the charge of Tong Nei Shi's son, Xiao Tong Nei Shi."
He paused and then said: "I heard that Lord Luo also managed the affairs of the harem for a while before he formally took over His Majesty's internal treasury."
Xiao Yuanzheng: "...Lord Luo is the head of the bodyguard. What does it have to do with the Ministry of Internal Affairs? Forget it, as long as you know who it is."
Xiao Yuanzheng looked at the time, got up and said: "I left the palace first and went home, and I will come back to the palace tomorrow, you are not allowed to tell others about this."
Physician Liu and medical assistants responded seriously.
Xiao Yuanzheng left the palace with his hands behind his back and went home.
At this time, Bai Shan also finished writing the letter to Man Bao, pressed it on the desk and asked Bai Erlang, "Tomorrow I will send some food to Man Bao, do you have anything to give her?"
Bai Erlang shook his head directly, "No."
After thinking about it, I felt that this was too heartless, so I continued, "Say hello to her for me."
