The emperor took the prince to visit Wei Zhi. Zhou Man and the others knew about it early in the morning, so they started acupuncture early in the morning.
Master Wei woke up faintly, and it took a while to regain his senses. He opened his mouth to speak, but found that his throat was a little dry.
Wei Yu hurriedly fed him water.
Lord Wei glanced at his wife and children behind him, relieved, turned his head to look at Zhou Man, and said with a slight smile, "Mr. Zhou and Xiao Yuan are here."
Xiao Yuanzheng said: "This is what we should do."
He swept around the room, sighed and said: "Master Wei, please rest well, don't get excited and sad, we are outside, you can call us if you need anything."
Zhou Man also nodded, and went out with Xiao Yuanzheng after saluting.
As soon as the two of them came out, the other servants in the room also retreated, leaving only the Wei family in the room.
Mrs. Wei poured another glass of water for Wei Zhi, and asked with concern: "What does Master want to eat, I'll let the kitchen do it."
Master Wei smiled slightly: "No hurry, I'm not hungry yet, let's talk first..."
Zhou Man and Xiao Yuan were walking a little farther away, and they stopped after a certain distance from the house.
Because the emperor and the crown prince were coming, the servants of the Wei family were busy scrubbing everywhere. The two of them stood in the yard surrounded by people going back and forth, which was very conspicuous.
"As soon as Master Wei leaves, the court will undergo drastic changes."
Zhou Man also frowned, and asked, "Who do you think is the successor?"
Xiao Yuan was shaking his head.
Zhou Man: "You are the order of the imperial medical department, at least you are the chief of the first department. As for the third grade, there is no news?"
Xiao Yuanzheng said: "I'm still your Shangguan, if I wasn't in the palace yesterday, I wouldn't have known you did such a great thing quietly."
Zhou Man: "I didn't do that, but my nephew did it. At best, I know about it."
Xiao Yuanzheng just snorted, everyone is not a fool, of course it can be seen that the cultivation of new rice seeds is Zhou Man, or Zhou Man, Bai Shan and others mean that the Zhou family just listens to work.
However, if Zhou Man wants to put the credit on his nephew, everyone will not object.
Xiao Yuanzheng just felt a little regretful, "If you or Bai Shan came to receive such a great contribution, it would be possible to become a Marquis, but it's just that your nephew came to receive it, after all, it's a bit worse."
Rewards are also based on people's abilities, and Zhou Lizhong obviously cannot afford the reward of being a Marquis.
Zhou Man was very satisfied, she said: "Our family is already very satisfied to be promoted from a small official to Liupin Temple Prime Minister. Other small officials, it is difficult to be promoted throughout their lives, so he will be promoted to Liupin Temple Chancellor. With this achievement in a year, what else is there to be dissatisfied with?"
Xiao Yuanzheng shook his head, "I don't know much, but I followed the adults after the court yesterday, and they said that if you take the credit, you can be a princess."
This is a great contribution that will last for thousands of years.
Zhou Man: "It's okay, the county head is enough for me."
The title of title is not a real position and has no real power, so she is not very interested in this right now.
She was more interested in, "Yuanzheng, can I visit the pharmacy after a while?"
"Why, do you have a new prescription medicine workshop?"
"Don't think about it, I just want to see how the pharmacy of our medical department is like, how much medicine is made every day, and whether it makes money."
Xiao Yuanzheng can't hear the word "money" now, especially the word "money" that comes out of Zhou Man's mouth, which makes him always have the feeling that she is urging him to give money.
In the past two years, the Hetai Medical Office has applied for the most public funds in Zhouman.
Xiao Yuanzheng hurriedly answered "Yes" and said: "You stay here and watch, I'll go out to see if anyone is coming from the palace."
Zhou Man looked at the time, pulled him back and said, "What's the rush? Your Majesty is considerate. He will definitely leave enough time for Lord Wei's family. I guess we won't come until around noon. Let's talk again."
Xiao Yuanzheng: "I don't want to talk to you..."
Zhou Man's guess was right. It was almost noon when the emperor and the crown prince arrived. Wei Zhi had spent the whole morning with his family, and he was so energetic that he got out of bed and walked around.
Mrs. Wei had a feeling that he was about to recover, she pulled Zhou Man and Xiao Yuan over to have a look, and after making sure that no miracle happened, she went to the gate with red eyes and waited to welcome the emperor and prince.
Wei Zhi also wanted to go, but was blocked by everyone.
The emperor strode in with the crown prince, and seeing Wei Zhi lift up the quilt to get out of bed, he hastily took two steps forward to hold him down, "Ai Qing, you don't need to be polite, you lie down quickly."
Wei Zhi: "...Your Majesty, I feel really good now, I just got out of bed and walked around."
The emperor held Wei Zhi's hand tightly with a look of disbelief, "Do we still need such politeness between our monarchs and ministers?"
Wei Zhi didn't bother to explain anymore, turned his head and smiled at Madam Wei, "I want to eat the egg noodles made by Madam."
Mrs. Wei hurriedly said, "I'll go and do it for you right now."
Then salute and leave.
Wei Zhi didn't leave his children and grandchildren in the house, but said to them: "Go and help your mother."
Changyu glanced at the emperor, the emperor thought for a while and said, "You go too."
Changyu knew that what she said next was not something she could listen to, so he also bowed and withdrew.
Zhou Man and Xiao Yuan who were standing on the side looked at each other, and when hesitating whether to retreat, the emperor had already turned his head and looked over, "Show Master Wei again, I think Master Wei's complexion has improved a lot."
The two agreed, stepped forward and felt Wei Zhi's pulse again, then shook their heads.
Wei Zhi said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I know that this disease is not a day or two. Everyone is mentally prepared, and there is really no need to struggle at this time."
He said: "I am very satisfied to be able to live to this day."
Emperor: "I know you are concerned about the new rice seed. This is the test booklet. Please take a look."
Gu Zhong immediately brought up the six booklets.
The emperor said: "Hearing is believing, seeing is believing. Judging from the recorded numbers, the new rice seeds should have stabilized. You can rest assured."
Wei Zhi flipped through the brochure, and the emperor continued: "Jiangnan has also been closed. Yang Heshu and Tang He jointly found out many hidden official lands. You can rest assured that you can no longer overshadow the imperial court."
Wei Zhi closed the booklet, was silent for a while, and said: "Your Majesty, ordinary people like to attach themselves to aristocratic families because they pay less money and food than the imperial court, and the benefits are touching. On this basis, blindly Fighting will only distract people."
He said: "On this point, I feel that what Zhuang Xun said is right. It is a great good to follow the trend of the times. Now that we have new rice seeds, and if we make a little change, my Jin Dynasty will have a hundred years more vigor."
Xiao Yuan was standing at the side listening in a daze, Zhou Man knew after a little thought that Wei Zhi was trying to persuade the emperor not to focus on the struggle with the aristocratic family.
The emperor nodded, "I know, who does Ai Qing think I can use in court?"
This is one of the main wishes for him to bring the prince to see Wei Zhi.
