This is not the first time that Zhou Man has talked about the restructuring of the local medical department. Xiao Yuanzheng and Master Luo also mentioned it in court from time to time, but due to various reasons, this matter has been stranded.
Let me mention it again at this time, maybe everyone has received the news that the emperor has promised Zhou Man, so today's Xiaochaohui is going smoothly, there are not many people who oppose it, but they have objections to the authority of the local medical office.
Zhou Man talked with them for a long time, but in the end he couldn't resolve all the objections.
The emperor glanced at the hourglass, and Gu Zhong instantly understood, stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, it's getting late, do you think you should have lunch first? The Ministry of Education has sent a lot of papers, all of which are waiting for your approval." .”
The emperor nodded, temporarily retreating from the court, and discussing matters tomorrow.
All the ministers retreated, and Zhou Man was stopped by Liu Shangshu just as he went out, he said with a smile: "Master Zhou, the autumn harvest is over, and the autumn grain is dried and stored in the warehouse. It is time to pay the autumn tax. You see when we will trade new Is the rice seed suitable?"
Zhou Man said: "Anytime."
She glanced at Yang Heshu behind Liu Shangshu, and said with a slight smile, "However, it's okay to talk about the rice seeds in the fields of the lower officials. On the other side of Longzhou and Mianzhou, the Ministry of Households needs to send people to weigh and escort them."
Yang Heshu said: "The new rice seeds from Longzhou will be transported to Beijing, and those from Luojiang County will be stored in Mianzhou. I will send officials to weigh and distribute them. Over there..."
"My second and third elder brothers are at home, I will write to them, and then the adults just come to the door."
Yang Heshu nodded to Liu Shangshu.
The three went to the palace gate together, and when they left the palace gate, Liu Shangshu and Zhou Man smiled and said, "Master Zhou, congratulations."
Zhou Man was stunned for a moment, then cupped his hands and said, "It's all for the country."
Liu Shangshu smiled, nodded to Yang Heshu, and then went to the household department to work.
Zhou Man looked at Yang Heshu curiously, "Brother Yang, isn't he going to the household department?"
Yang Heshu shook his head, "I'll go with you. I'm going to Pu Village to see your new rice seeds in the afternoon. Who will your family send to go with me?"
Zhou Man thought for a while and said, "My eldest brother and Li Zhong."
She couldn't help laughing, "You guys are too anxious, the rice seeds won't run away if they stay there."
"It's about people's livelihood, don't dare to be negligent," Yang and Shuchong waved at the back, Wan Tian and Daji led the horses, they got on the horses, and walked out of the imperial city together.
Yang Heshu said: "You have entered the Xiaochaohui, you should be more cautious in what you say and do in the future, and you did a good job today."
Zhou Man let out a breath, "I thought you were going to scold me."
Yang Heshu smiled and said, "What am I scolding you for? You are a foreign official returning to Beijing. It's human nature to sleep late, and the palace didn't let you prepare for the small court meeting in advance? But it's beyond my expectation that you can admit your mistake so quickly. Well done."
Zhou Man said: "After all, so many people are looking for it. If I don't admit my mistake, should I let those servants take the responsibility?"
Anyway, she just sold the emperor a big face, and she has a good relationship with him recently, and the matter can be solved by admitting a mistake, there is no need to drag others into trouble.
Yang Heshu couldn't help laughing, and lightly kicked the horse's belly to speed up, "You're becoming more thoughtful and gentle, not bad."
Yang Heshu asked Zhou Lizhong to go to Si Nong Temple to invite Zhou Lizhong with the post from the Ministry of Household Affairs, and took Zhou Dalang to Pu Village. Before leaving, he and Zhou Man said, "I don't know how long you can stay in the capital. Leaving Beijing, let's get together when we have time, and your sister-in-law often talks about you."
Zhou Man nodded, "Okay, you choose the time and place."
Yang Heshu thought for a while and said, "Xuandu Guan is good. It happens to be climbing in autumn. I heard that the Taoist crabs in the temple are very good. I will send a few baskets up there. Everyone can enjoy the chrysanthemums while eating crabs."
Zhou Man immediately said: "The chrysanthemum wine my mother-in-law made two years ago is still buried, I will dig out two jars and bring it with me."
Mrs. Zheng likes to grow flowers. Apart from making all kinds of pancakes, the rest of the flowers are dried to make sachets, or they are used to make wine.
Yang Heshu and Zhou Man were very busy for a while, they had to go to the small court meeting every day. Apart from the affairs of the medical office, Zhou Man also began to participate in other government affairs. In fact, it was not that she wanted to participate, but that the emperor would ask.
Agriculture has always been the foundation of the country, and Zhou Man has bred new rice varieties, and whether it is the current new rice varieties or the previous new wheat varieties, she has her shadow, so in promotion, and some land policies, even Even in terms of taxation, the emperor began to ask her about politics.
Although the officials of the same small court meeting had some objections, seeing that the emperor supported her and the crown prince was her backer, even Old Master Tang didn't say anything, so they could only endure the discomfort.
Li Shangshu was one of the people who didn't like Zhou Man's entry into the Xiaochaohui, he thought it was inappropriate.
So for the past few days, he has kept a cold face towards Zhou Man, turning his head aside when entering and leaving the Tai Chi Hall and ignoring her.
This kind of dissatisfaction reached its peak when Zhou Man proposed that the Imperial College and the Imperial Medical Administration jointly run a school, or that the Imperial Medical College selected suitable talents for the Imperial Medical Administration to study in the Imperial Medical Administration for a period of time, or that the Imperial Medical Administration sent a certain number of students to study in the Imperial Medical Administration.
Because Zhou Man prefers the second type, and half of the students she plans to send are female students.
Kong Jijiu didn't say a word, Li Shangshu couldn't help being furious, "Imperial Academy has never had a female student, Mr. Zhou, don't you mess with me like this..."
Zhou Man: "Who said there are no female students in the Imperial Academy? Didn't the Empress of Silla ever go to the Imperial Academy? She accompanied two female students."
Li Shangshu choked, and said for a while, "That's a foreign woman, not a member of my court."
"Even women from foreign countries can enter the Imperial College to study, why can't I enter the Imperial Academy?" Zhou Man raised his head and said to the emperor, "Your Majesty, the students in the imperial medical office only study medicine and pharmacy, and they are not good at managing people's livelihood. Many, this is also one of the reasons why the imperial medical department had a bad relationship with the county government after it entered the local area."
She said: "The way of sages and sages is in the Guozijian. The doctors are doing the sage's deed of healing and saving people, but they suffer from clumsiness, and because of their limited knowledge, they do many things unsatisfactorily. Why can't they be allowed to study in the Guozijian?" The way of the sages, how about broadening one's knowledge?"
Li Shangshu: "Male students are allowed to enter, but female students are not allowed."
Zhou Man said with a serious face: "Li Shangshu, the lower officials are also women, I can do it, why can't they?"
"Is the way of sages so easy to learn?" Li Shangshu said: "Master Zhou studied with Bachelor Zhuang since he was a child, so he can stand in this court, but they are all at that age, and they still need to learn medical skills. Is that energy?"
Zhou Man: "They are all children in their teens and twenties, why not? They have a hundred years of life, and they still have decades to live. As the saying goes, as long as they live to learn, they can go to learn as long as they don't die. "
