Zhou Man personally sent the person to the door of the medical office, and said with a smile: "I have reserved a place in the Dashun Hall, and I have invited Fangxian Cheng to accompany me. How about we discuss this medicinal material in detail tonight?"
Master Fang glanced at the two competitors and his partner, smiled and nodded together, "Being obedient is worse than respect."
When they were all gone, Man Bao let out a sigh of relief, and said to Wu Yue: "Recently, I have been walking around more with my neighbors, and I have also visited various places in the county. When I go back to the medical office, I need to choose some capable assistants. , specially for the doctors."
Wu Yue said: "Lady, that must be a medicine boy?"
Man Bao said: "The division of labor can be more detailed. Some things that don't need to be done by the drug boy can be done after training."
It is more difficult to identify medicinal materials, grasp medicinal materials, process medicinal materials, etc., and must be a drug boy apprentice or above to do it, but other chores can be hired.
But Wu Yue said: "Lady, your medical office has to have patients before you can hire them? Didn't you say that the medical office doesn't have much money now? You still spend so much, I'm not afraid that it will be tighter later."
Man Bao said confidently: "There are no patients now, and there will be in a few days. Talents must be cultivated first, otherwise there will be more patients in the future, not only busy, but also a lot of things, and then there will be no time to deal with these things."
Wu Yue felt that what she said made sense, so she nodded, "Don't worry, lady, I will go to the county town tomorrow."
Man Bao is satisfied.
In the evening, I took the cakes to Dashun restaurant for dinner.
She invited Fang Xiancheng to accompany her, and the old master Huang and shopkeeper Shi who met today also invited over, and even the two doctors sitting in the Baicao Hall and Renhe Hall, and gathered around a table, everyone was lively We had a lively discussion about medicine.
This time, Ji Shitang from Qingzhou also sent the shopkeeper over. Due to natural reasons, Ji Shitang naturally stood on Zhou Man's side, so when discussing the price of medicine today, the shopkeeper Zheng from Jishitang directly gave The lowest price, there is no need to talk about Zhou Man.
Using Jishitang's words, Man Bao and the three shopkeepers of the pharmacy said: "The original intention of the medical department is to help the world, not to compete with private medical clinics and pharmacies for the source of diseases. Xiao Yuanzheng and I hope to cooperate with medical clinics everywhere. The pharmacy is profitable and a win-win situation, even Your Majesty, I hope that there are medical clinics and pharmacies all over the world, so that every one of the people can go to the medical clinic and pharmacy to afford medical treatment when they get sick."
She said: "In the final analysis, the medical department mainly targets poor people, and these people may have looked down on doctors once in their lives in the past, so this aspect has little impact on medical centers and pharmacies; as for dignitaries, rich people Those of the gentry, "
Man Bao smiled and said: "The medical department does not give discounts to those who can afford to see a doctor, so the reason why they choose to seek medical treatment is naturally only because of their medical skills."
She said: "I have already sent a letter to Xiao Yuanzheng, requesting the orders of the local medical offices to communicate more with the doctors in the local medical centers and pharmacies, so as to learn and improve together. Speaking of the goodness of medical skills, although students like me can learn well Comprehensive, but the medical skills may not be as good as a few, let alone Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, there are countless doctors with good medical skills in the world."
Everyone felt at ease when they heard it, especially the shopkeepers and doctors of Jishitang, Baicaotang and Renhetang, their worries disappeared immediately.
Shopkeeper Zheng of Qingzhou Jishitang lowered his eyes and thought, no wonder there have been rumors in the capital that they will do their best to support Mr. Zhou. It seems that the capital has reached a consensus.
Shopkeeper Shi and Shopkeeper Zhao looked at each other, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.
Even Fang County Prime Minister hinted: "With Mr. Bai here, what are you worried about? Mr. Bai is the parent officer of our Beihai County, so we naturally want our Beihai County."
Shopkeeper Shi and Shopkeeper Zhao smiled on their faces, but they hummed in their hearts. They are important people, so isn't the person next to their pillow important
But what Zhou Man said made them feel a lot more at ease, so everyone raised their glasses and took a sip.
Taking advantage of the situation, Zhou Man asked, "How many days will it take to prepare the medicinal materials ordered by the medical department?"
Several people looked at each other, and Master Fang was the first to say: "I can prepare everything for your lord in three days."
The others immediately said: "I can prepare it within three days."
The matter of the medicine was settled in this way, and Man Bao was content to prepare for other things.
She was very generous, and hired three helpers for the medical department at one go, specializing in chores such as cleaning and cooking.
As soon as the medicinal materials arrived, she posted notices all over the county, bought two firecrackers and set them off in front of the door, and then concentrated on waiting for the patients to come to the door.
But she waited in the medical office for two days with her chin propped up, but no one came, not a single patient!
She thought it must be because everyone didn't know that the medical department was opened, so she beat the gong and shouted that the medical department officially accepted patients when the watchmen were called.
After two days, no one came, but Man Bao went to see Dahua three times, and asked Dahua to help her promote it in the neighborhood.
However, after half a decade, there were still only Man Bao and Daji Xibing staring at the medical office.
Wu Yue took a feather duster and came all the way to beat the dust, then stood behind Zhou Man and sighed, "Ma'am, there's no one else, do the three helpers still want them to come next month?"
Man Bao: ...
She was a little hesitant, and asked with a frown: "Why is there no one? We used to say in the capital that we don't need money to see a doctor. As long as someone comes to see him, if he is not sick, he has to line up to be touched by our imperial doctor before he is satisfied. "
Who knows
Just as he was sighing, the sound of horseshoes came from outside the gate. Zhou Man jumped up when he heard the sound, and ran out. When he ran outside the gate, he saw Bai Shan throwing the whip in his hand to the guard, turning around and striding towards her .
Man Bao saw that he was wearing blue clothes, the hem of which was still stained with dirt, but he hadn't seen him in ten days, he had lost a lot of weight, his face was not as white as before, and the expression on his face became more and more strange, she couldn't help but stop. Standing on the steps, staring at him blankly.
Bai Shan smiled and ran up the steps quickly. Seeing her staring at him in a daze, he raised his hand and scratched her nose twice, and asked with a smile, "I'm already standing in front of you, what else are you thinking about?"
Seeing the smile on his face, Man Bao didn't feel that the difficulties he encountered were difficulties, "Let's go home, I have a lot to say to you."
Bai Shan nodded, "I also have a lot to say to you."
The two of them stopped riding horses at all, and walked back from the alley holding hands. Bai Shan first told her, "Everywhere I went, I told the villagers about the establishment of the Qingzhou Medical Department in Beihai County. , Let them come to the city to find you when they are sick."
Then he told her very excitedly, "I saw the sea!"
His eyes were very bright, and he looked down at Man Bao like stars and said, "Can you imagine? Looking up, it seems that there is sea water all the way to the sky. It is bigger than every big lake I have ever seen. The tide rises." Sometimes the waves are so big that they seem to be able to roll people to the bottom of the sea.”
