Zhou Man gave two requirements for the prescription, one is to set up an audit department to supervise in the imperial medical office;
The emperor had no objection to the two requests, so he agreed immediately, and then asked curiously, "Speaking of which, this prescription is hers, what about her own benefits?"
Prince: "No."
The emperor lamented that she was dedicated to the public, loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and then changed the subject: "I remember that Qingzhou is asking for money to build a wharf. Bai Shan wants to build that wharf?"
The prince, who was about to reward Zhou Man with something, paused, nodded and said, "Yes, Longchi Wharf will be the key to the transportation of official salt from Beihai County."
The emperor nodded slightly, indicating that he had made a note of it.
The prince pressed down on the matter of the reward. Compared to the construction of the wharf, this matter is not worth mentioning. After the wharf is completed, Bai Shan has made a lot of achievements, and Zhou Man can also benefit from it.
The crown prince was about to get up and leave, when the emperor suddenly said: "Wei Zhi is sick, and now the court has sealed it, you don't have much to do, so go and see him for me."
The prince was slightly stunned, and quickly responded.
After the letter was sent out, Zhou Man and Bai Shan put it aside for the time being. It would take quite a while for the letter to go back and forth, so they were used to continuing with the work after the letter was sent out.
In order to celebrate the opening of Longchi Wharf, Bai Shan invited everyone he could, including the county magistrates of several nearby counties, and even the governor and county magistrate of the neighboring Laizhou were invited by him.
The general governor and county magistrate would not talk to him if he was cross-state, but who made them cooperate closely recently
Baishan gave them the method of drying salt, and they gave Baishan a boat and exchanged some resources, as well as Zhouman's medical office. Because of its reputation, Laizhou is not far from Beihai County, and many people come across the state to seek medical treatment.
Of course, these people are not ordinary people, most of them are rich and powerful, and their illnesses are not ordinary.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to look for Zhou Man, so to save Zhou Man's face, besides the magistrate of Laizhou, Bai Shan also sent a post to several gentry businessmen, and they would all go the day after tomorrow.
So Bai Shan deliberately asked Zhou Liwei to be called back, "Bring Liwei and let him meet some people at that time. There is a lot of salt coming out of the salt farm in the future, and he has to handle things. It won't hurt to get to know more people."
Zhou Man nodded.
Bai Shan pondered and said: "He is now considered an official of Beihai County. Next year, he will fight against Jiangnan. I plan to write to the imperial court to establish a salt transport department in Beihai County. He is in charge of the salt field, so he will definitely go in."
Zhou Man blinked, "Have a grade?"
Bai Shan nodded, "Minimum rank nine, so when he comes back, you have to ask him to practice his handwriting, and pick up the lost books. I don't ask him to be proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, but the official account book cannot. Error."
Zhou Liwei and Mr. Zhuang have studied for two years. Before that, he also learned a lot of characters with Zhou Man, but when he was with Zhou Man, he learned from one hammer to the other, and from Mr. Zhuang, it was a crash course. , more is to learn to calculate and make accounts.
Afterwards, he threw away his books, and occasionally read some scripts, but his ability to make accounts became more and more proficient.
But that handwriting...
Thinking of the ledger he wrote, Bai Shan couldn't help but shook his head. It was okay for his family to look at it, but when it was put on the table... it didn't look good.
And although he could read, he couldn't write official documents.
Bai Shandao: "This time the salt farm will also be on holiday for the New Year, so call him back. In addition to practicing calligraphy, you have to teach him how to write official documents."
Zhou Man nodded again and again, "Okay!"
When Liwei was mentioned, she thought of Lizhong, "He should be in Luojiang County now, I don't know if he can pass the exam next year."
Bai Shan said nonchalantly: "If you fail the exam, then you can take the correct way to enter the county government office and become a government servant. And with your merits, it is not difficult to be kind to him, the difficulty will be later."
His face became more serious, "Next year we will use the grain seeds he sent, but we don't know how the harvest will be."
Zhou Man also became serious, "From the data he gave, it won't be bad. The most important thing is to see if the output can be stabilized."
Bai Shan also knew that the biggest problem with the seeds used in the experimental field was instability. One seed, the first year, was still full of spikes and grains, but the second year it grew like a dog crawling over it, one clump higher and the other clump lower...
With Zhou Man's current achievements and the face of giving Fang Zi to the royal family, it is too easy to want Enyin as a nephew. What is difficult is the follow-up development. They want Zhou Lizhong to engage in what he is good at and make contributions with it. Do it for a long time.
Then this matter cannot be rushed.
On the second day, Zhou Liwei was the first to come back with his wife carrying a burden on his back. The room had already been packed for them before the luggage was put down. Little Qian came to see them. As soon as they met, she couldn't help feeling distressed, "Two, two heads Ah, how did you become like this?"
I saw that Zhou Liwei, who used to be tall and strong, with handsome features, was thin and dark, with only a pair of bright eyes. Looking back, he looked back as his aunt. When he grinned, only his teeth could be seen.
Xiaoqian's eyes were red, and she hurriedly stepped forward to hold his hand, "It's been so hard..."
"Auntie, I'm not bitter, really, you don't think I'm dark now, but sister-in-law has seen it, I'm strong!"
Xiaoqian held back her tears and nodded, but she didn't quite believe it in her heart, mainly because the child looked too miserable. He was darker and thinner than her eldest son who was farming in the village.
Lan Xin on the side bowed her knees and saluted, "Auntie."
Xiaoqian saw her just now, and hurried to hold her hand, feeling distressed, "You've lost weight too..." You're also dark, but not as dark as Zhou Liwei, but Lan Xin used to be so white, why is she so dark
Zhou Liwei was afraid that she would cry, so he quickly changed the subject and asked, "I don't think my sister-in-law and uncle are here, where are they?"
Xiaoqian quickly said: "They went to the ten-mile long pavilion, and they said they were going to pick up Lord Inspector Shi and them."
She didn't worry about it any more, wiped her eyes and asked with a smile on her face, "Are you hungry when you come back from the saltworks? After a while, I will pick up Mr. Governor and they will go to Longchi. I will go to the kitchen to get you some food first." , what do you want to eat?"
Zhou Liwei didn't pick anything, "Eat whatever you have."
He glanced at his wife, and said embarrassedly: "But Lan Xin can't eat greasy food, auntie, why don't you cook a bowl of noodles for her, just lay an egg, and don't add anything else."
Xiaoqian was slightly stunned, then turned to look at Lan Xin, her eyes brightened, "Oh, am I going to have a grandnephew?"
Zhou Liwei smiled naively, Lan Xin also blushed and lowered her head, and whispered: "There is no doctor in the salt field, but my period is nearly a month late, and I am very picky about eating recently, so I guess yes, but no I have to ask my sister to take a look."
"Look, look, let her take a look when she comes back. This is a happy event. You sit down first, and I'll get you something to eat."
