Xiao Yuan was silent, so Man Bao could only open his mouth. Of course, she didn't complain directly. Bai Shan said that the emperor actually didn't like courtiers quarreling in front of him. Every time he entertained, no, he complained after seeing the quarrel. The courtiers and the emperor were silently angry for a long time.
So Man Bao directly mentioned their purpose, first mentioned the effect of the vaccinia method, then mentioned its prospects, and finally said that they would specially train vaccinators in the Tai Medical Office.
After all, the imperial physicians of the imperial hospital can't always go to and from the imperial palace and Huangzhuang. It's okay for a year or two, but for ten or twenty years, it takes a lot of extra time because of part-time jobs.
The emperor looked at the two of them with a little surprise, and asked, "So your imperial medical department wants to add special subjects for cultivating pox and preventing smallpox?"
Man Bao replied "Yes", and said: "Your Majesty, there should be ways to prevent and control the epidemic diseases in the world. It is very difficult with the current medical skills, but I believe that as long as I study hard, I will eventually produce results. Therefore, the vaccination department is not only For smallpox, it can also be used for other epidemics in the future."
There are also many kinds of epidemic diseases, and no matter which one they are, they are very harmful, and many people die every time they appear.
Not only the emperor, but even the other ministers in the palace couldn't help but sit up straight. After a while, Wei Zhi asked, "How much does it cost to add a new department?"
As one of the prime ministers of Dajin, this is one of his biggest concerns.
Man Bao looked at Xiao Yuanzheng.
Xiao Yuanzheng knew this best, after all he just wrote the official document and handed it to Taichang Temple not long ago, and there was a detailed list of expenses on it.
Because it is a subordinate department, and the Tai Hospital and Taichang Temple are not too close.
This is determined by the particularity of the Taichang Hospital. The Taichang Hospital in the palace directly obeys the emperor's orders. Of course, the orders of the Taichang Temple must also be obeyed, but does the Taichang Temple dare to order the Taichang Hospital
Taichang Temple didn't even dare to check the medical records in Taichang Hospital.
If the minister of Taichang Temple dared to watch, he might be accused of spying on the emperor by Yushitai just after he left the imperial hospital.
This is taboo.
Moreover, half of the expenses of the Taichang Hospital were applied through the Taichang Temple and the national treasury, and the other half was subsidized by the emperor's internal treasury.
For the purchase of general medicinal materials, a list is made and handed over to Taichang Temple for stamping and then sent to the household department for allocation of funds.
But if you want to buy precious medicinal materials, such as Tianshan snow lotus, hundreds of years of ginseng and ganoderma lucidum, it is too troublesome to go to the household department to get the money, and you need to go back and forth. The emperor's internal treasury basically allocated the money directly.
So Tai Hospital and Taichang Temple are not close
The Tai Medical Office was run by the Tai Hospital, so naturally, because they were not close, when writing the list, Xiao Yuanzheng tried to save money as much as possible humbly, lest the Taichang Temple find such things as too much money and insufficient funds. The excuse refused.
But who knows that Taichang Temple still refused him, and he didn't give any excuses, it was too much!
At this time, Xiao Yuanzheng did not raise the prices, and directly reported, "Because smallpox is special, it is not suitable to carry out pox breeding and vaccination in the Imperial Medical Office, so I want to continue to use Huangzhuang."
He said: "The things in Huangzhuang are also ready-made, and there is no need for extra expenses."
The emperor nodded slightly. Anyway, Huangzhuang belongs to him, and using Huangzhuang to study smallpox only takes up some space. In addition to the Ministry of Industry, Huangzhuang can also transfer labor and other things, saving money and effort, which is good.
Xiao Yuanzheng continued: "As for the Imperial Medical Office, we only need to build two more classrooms and two dormitory supervisors. The books used for teaching, acupuncture and moxibustion can be shared with other departments in the Imperial Medical Office. Apart from that, we only need to buy prevention and treatment. The medicinal materials for smallpox have been spent, and the list has been handed in before, so it is not very expensive."
Only then did the adults nod slightly, Wei Zhi said on behalf of everyone, "Your Majesty, this can be added, but are the imperial doctors in the imperial hospital busy?"
Xiao Yuanzheng immediately said: "Prince Lu has a lot of experience in preventing and treating smallpox, and I want to mention that he is the head of a department who is in charge of this matter. At that time, Imperial Physician Zhou and several other imperial physicians will assist in teaching, although it is hard work. But it should still be responsible."
Prince Gong, who had been sitting all this time, interjected, "Didn't you say that the development of the smallpox vaccine was the first achievement last week? Why did you let Imperial Physician Lu be the chief official?"
Man Bao only looked up at him and said: "Returning to King Gong, you dare not take the first place. Imperial Physician Lu has worked hard in the past two years and made great contributions to the prevention and treatment of smallpox, especially in the past six months. He personally participated in every piece of data and made great contributions, so he was convinced by the chief officials."
Hmph, Prince Gong wouldn't be kind enough to mention something, he's either trying to sow discord or exhaust me, no matter what, she won't let him succeed.
Man Bao flattered Dr. Lu and shaped his image. Xiao Yuanzheng glanced at her and said, "Dr. Lu has indeed made great contributions to the research on the prevention and treatment of smallpox, and his other medical skills are not bad. , His Royal Highness Prince Gong should know about this."
Man Bao's eyes lit up, and he immediately looked at Prince Gong with sparkle. That's right, Prince Gong used to like to use Imperial Physician Ji the most. Later, Imperial Physician Ji became an official, and his favorite imperial physician was Imperial Physician Lu.
Hmph, you dragged Imperial Physician Lu back in front of the emperor, does Imperial Physician Lu know
Prince Gong choked for a moment, his face remained calm, but his heart was very disdainful.
As a prince, he would not go to bribe the doctor, only the doctor took the initiative to seek refuge.
It's just that no matter whether it was the former Imperial Physician Ji or the former Imperial Physician Lu, they didn't express their surrender to him, but he was used to them. After all, when it comes to seeing a doctor, it is better to find a doctor he is familiar with.
Most doctors also like to see the same person, that is, Man Bao. Although she likes all kinds of new cases, she also likes to see the same person, so that it is easy to know the changes of the disease.
But a doctor would not say this kind of thing, it is unlucky after all.
When people go to the silver building and gold shop, they can say that the distinguished guest will come again next time, but can the pharmacy and medical center say the same
Seeing that his son was deflated, the emperor couldn't help but glanced at him, not understanding what was going on in his heart. He obviously suffered from Zhou Man every time, but he didn't have a long memory, and he would still go to tease him next time.
The prince was already drinking tea quietly, completely ignoring this younger brother who used to be furious every time he saw him.
The emperor thought about it for a while, and simply took out the matter that had been suppressed for several months, "In this case, let's add it, um, name it 'Vaccine Department', and in the future, we will specialize in the prevention and treatment of epidemic diseases like vaccinia." prescription."
The emperor said: "Nowadays, there is only one disease that can be cured, smallpox, so start with smallpox."
