After Bai Shan finished interrogating another person, seeing that it was getting late, he patted the gavel and announced his withdrawal.
The onlookers slowly withdrew from the county office and were about to disperse. At this time, Zhou Man and the others got excited and set up a medical office across the street. Not to mention, many people really heard of the medical office for the first time .
Some people are bold enough to say that they can see a doctor for free, regardless of whether they are sick or not, they immediately rolled up their sleeves and went to see a doctor.
All week comers are welcome.
The soldiers and servants in the county government escorted the rest of the prisoners back to the prison, and everyone went back to each other. Bai Shan was looking through the records made by the clerk, and just as he was watching, a servant jumped in and said, "Magistrate, Mr. Zhou is here. It's outside."
Bai Shan said without raising his head: "It's here."
Isn't it normal for Zhou Man to be outside the county office
Behind is her home.
Yam servant: "... I mean, Mr. Zhou has set up a table outside the county government office and is doing free medical consultations for everyone."
Hearing this, Bai Shan raised his head, thought for a while and said, "This is a good idea."
There have been a lot of onlookers recently, some of whom are from other counties, most of them are scribes and knowledgeable elders.
If they learn about the medical department and go back and say a word, it will be more effective than Zhou Man's hard work walking around the streets.
It's a pity that because the Song family didn't have a good relationship with him, Zhou Man invited well-known Lizheng, gentry and elders in Beihai County to promote it on his behalf, but the effect was minimal.
Bai Shan thought for a while, put down the note in his hand and stood up, and greeted County Captain Dong, "Come on, I'll go out and have a look later."
Dong Xianwei followed Bai Shan out in a daze.
As soon as Bai Shan went out, the people outside were excited, some looked at him with bright eyes, and some turned sideways to let him in...
In just a few days, Bai Shan gained a certain prestige not only in this county, but also in other counties.
Bai Shan walked to the free clinic booth and looked at Zhou Man with a smile.
Zhou Man was seeing a patient, and only looked up at him strangely. Seeing that he was just smiling and doing nothing, he turned his eyes away and ignored her.
After Zhou Man finished looking at the patient in hand, and saw that the people behind were crowded together but did not come up again, he looked at Bai Shan and asked questions. Bai Shan had already bowed his hands and bowed deeply, with a respectful expression on his face. He said: "Thank you Master Zhou for what you have done for the people of Beihai County."
He said: "Although the county government can protect the lives and property of the people, it can't do things like the medical department to save people and help the world."
Sitting on a chair, Zhou Man looked dazed: ...
She hesitated for a moment, stood up in the eyes of everyone, tentatively gave Bai Shan a salute, and said modestly: "Where, where, Mr. Bai praised you absurdly. This is what our medical department should do."
She paused for a moment and found the feeling, and immediately changed the topic, and said with a moved face: "Not to mention that the establishment of the medical office is the wish of the empress and your majesty, and it is to repay the kindness of the empress and your majesty. I will do my best for."
Zhou Man turned his head to look at everyone, "Do you know how the Medical Department was first established?"
Everyone shook their heads together. Some people had only heard of this department but did not understand it, while some had never heard of it at all, let alone how it was established.
Zhou Man looked up at the sky at forty-five degrees, and said with a moved face, "It's all because of your empress' kindness."
Zhou Mandao: "The people's livelihood is difficult. Many people in Dajin cannot seek medical treatment because of poverty in their families, especially women. Not only because of poverty, but also because of their gender, when they get sick, they often rely on suffering instead of seeking medical treatment."
"Your Majesty is not in good health, and every time I get sick, I feel more guilty and sad when I think about these things," Zhou Man said with a moved face: "After His Majesty found out, he not only cherished His Majesty, but also because he had feelings in his heart, so after many discussions , That’s when the Tai Medical Office was established.”
"The purpose of the Imperial Medical Office is to train more doctors and send them to other places, so that the people of the world, rich or poor, can feel the compassion of the empress and the grace of the emperor..."
Zhou Man went on and on for two quarters of an hour, not only vividly describing how uncomfortable the queen was when she knew how hard the women in the folk were, and how sad the child was when she was sick because she had no money to see a doctor, but also how the emperor felt when he saw How anxious and helpless the queen was when she was sad...
The onlookers, whether they were ordinary people, literati, or gentry elders, all listened with great interest.
Even Pang Xu and others couldn't help sighing: "The empress has always been virtuous."
He said again: "Emperors and Empresses have always had good feelings."
This is easier to understand and disseminate than the report on the feasibility and development of the medical department and its impact on Dajin, so before dark, many people have heard the story that has been spread twice.
Some restaurants and wine shops were talking about this matter, and the heat of the topic once surpassed the heat of Bai Shan's trial of the case.
Even Mr. Song, who stayed at home and never went out, heard about it.
After being silent for a long time, he said: "Your Majesty is kind and benevolent. I remember that the medical department said before that there is insufficient funds, so people can buy a batch of medicinal materials. No matter what the medicine is, just buy some and send them to the medical department. Take it as our Song family doing meritorious deeds."
The butler responded, but did not back down.
Master Song also fell silent, both master and servant were silent, but the butler was in no hurry, he just had to wait for Master Song to make up his mind.
Master Song sighed and asked, "Is there still no movement at the salt field?"
"Yes, the workers found all kinds of excuses to ask for leave to go home. County magistrate Bai directly granted them a long vacation, but ordered people to guard the saltworks and no one was allowed to enter or leave casually. Our people went in quietly to check, except for the There are no other guards, and it is true that no more salt was boiled."
Master Song said: "Dragon Boat Festival will be in two days, and there is not much time until June. Our county magistrate doesn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and he is fully focused on the bandit suppression case..."
"Could it be... forgot?"
Master Song: "Your Majesty, the Zhongshu Sheren who came out in front of you, do you think he will forget such an important matter? Besides, there is Fang Xiancheng beside him to mention something. Now, it can be seen that Dong County Lieutenant also respects this county magistrate." Very much. Even if he can forget, can these two forget?"
Beihai County's finances have always come from salt. It is impossible for Fang Xiancheng and Dong Xianwei, who have been in Beihai County's county government for so many years, to know.
He pondered for a moment, then said: "Let someone go to the new saltworks to take a look."
"I can't make it through," the housekeeper said distressedly, "That side is now surrounded by inspector Luo. For such a major event as suppressing bandits, County Magistrate Bai would rather borrow troops from Qingzhou City than use people from the new salt field."
At first they thought he was playing tricks, they didn't even have firewood, so what's the use of just surrounding the salt field
But now seeing Bai Shan so calm and relaxed, Master Song always felt uneasy and couldn't sit still.
At this time, a banquet was being held in the backyard of the county government. Bai Shan and Zhou Man not only invited Cui Yuan and others to dinner, but also invited some literati and elders from Beihai County who were watching at that time, and literati from other counties. Cheng and Dong Xianwei accompanied him.
It was too late for Master Song, who was excluded, to know about this, and it was impossible for him to sneak in, so he could only return home disappointed.
