"It's a pity that you are keeping your filial piety. I originally thought that I would invite you to go to Qingzhou for a visit this time. There is a sea and a pier. All the goods from south to north are traded on the pier. There are many good things."
Changyu also sighed, "Mingda also wrote in the letter to me, and said that you built a courtyard by the sea, and you can watch the sea while sitting on the attic, and the pearls and some seafood there are extremely cheap."
Zhou Man took her hand and said, "You can go and have a look when you come out."
Chang Yu didn't speak.
Zhou Man poked his head to see her expression, "What's wrong?"
Chang Yu sighed and said: "The son-in-law must keep his filial piety, the official position in the court has been suspended, he has already discussed with me, after the filial piety period is over, he wants to seek an official position abroad, I will definitely follow when the time comes, Qingzhou, I am afraid I will go It's gone."
Zhou Man said with a smile: "What's the matter, why don't you just take a two-month leave with your son-in-law to come and see us? Don't tell me you have to be together all the time, and you can't be apart for a moment?"
Changyu couldn't help scratching her, "Just make fun of me, which house doesn't the wife go with the husband, where the husband goes, where the wife goes?"
Zhou Man thought to himself: She is not.
She thought for a while and said, "Mingda is not."
The reason why Ming Da and Bai Er went to Qingzhou was because Ming Da wanted to go, so Bai Er joined the Prince's business trip team. Later, the Prince left Qingzhou, and Bai Er simply took a leave of absence from the Imperial Academy and stayed in Qingzhou.
Speaking of it, Bai Er took a long time to ask for leave. If his father-in-law hadn't been the emperor, he might have been laid off.
Seeing that she suddenly became dazed, Chang Yu pushed her and asked, "What are you thinking?"
"I'm wondering whether to help Bai Er find an official position in Qingzhou."
"Forget it," Chang Yu said, "Ming Da has a big heart, I'm afraid she doesn't want to stay in Qingzhou, if she still wants to go elsewhere, it will be difficult for her son-in-law to go with an official position."
Zhou Man heard the same thing, but when he entered the palace and bid farewell to the emperor, he couldn't help but talk about Mingda and Bai Erlang's great achievements in Qingzhou, "...the medical office, Yushantang and Guantian Wharf are all built with the help of princesses and concubines. Your Majesty, have you ever thought about rewarding them with an official position?"
The emperor raised his eyelids to look at her, "I don't mind serving as an official for a princess and consort, but I think Governor Guo minds, why don't you ask Governor Guo if he would like a princess and a consort to be an official?"
Zhou Man immediately fell silent.
The emperor waved his hands in disgust and said, "Okay, I know you're leaving tomorrow, so I won't keep you any longer today, let's go to the East Palace to bid farewell."
Zhou Man didn't want to go to the East Palace, but the emperor mentioned it, so she had to go to the East Palace to bid farewell.
She had to pass the Tai Hospital from the Tai Chi Hall to the East Palace, so she simply turned in to bid farewell to her colleagues.
The Tai Hospital was a little busier than before. Zhou Liru and several medical assistants were cutting and arranging the medicinal materials in the yard. When they saw Zhou Man, they immediately got up to greet him, "Sister-in-law!"
Zhou Man nodded to her, and asked, "Are Xiao Yuanzheng and Imperial Physician Liu there?"
"Yes," Zhou Liru lowered his voice and said, "Lord Luo is also here."
Zhou Man nodded, and said in a low voice: "You and Liu Huan can go home and have dinner after you leave the Yamen. I'm leaving tomorrow, and we will have a reunion dinner at night."
Zhou Liru responded.
Zhou Man went to Xiao Yuanzheng and the others to bid farewell.
When Master Luo saw her, he quickly got up and saluted, "Master Zhou."
Zhou Man returned a salute, and laughed with a few people: "I will leave Beijing tomorrow, and I will bid farewell to you adults today."
Master Luo smiled and said, "Master Zhou left with a full load this time."
Zhou Man complimented: "It is Xiao Yuanzheng and Mr. Luo who are generous."
Xiao Yuanzheng waved his hand and said: "Stop flattering, if you continue, I will feel sorry for you, and I won't give you those things."
Zhou Man immediately shut up.
Imperial Physician Liu said with a smile: "Master Zhou visited the pharmacy the day before yesterday and yesterday, do you have any suggestions?"
"No," Zhou Man shook his head and said, "They have done a good job, especially the craft of making penicillin. They are more proficient than me, and they have improved the equipment to make the production faster."
Master Luo suddenly said: "I heard that Tubo has been acting frequently recently, and has clashed with Longyou several times."
Zhou Man raised his eyebrows, "Master Luo is worried about the increase in the consumption of medicinal materials in the army, and the need to make medicines?"
Master Luo nodded and said, "Master Zhou, do you think we should let the pharmacy increase production?"
Zhou Man was thoughtful, "It should have been prepared earlier."
Xiao Yuanzheng: "... I went to the Ministry of War to ask, it's just a routine conflict before winter, and it shouldn't lead to a big war."
He said: "My Dajin is now in peace and prosperity, with strong soldiers and strong horses, how dare Tubo come to invade? There is a time limit for patented medicines. If you don't use them for a long time after making them, the medicinal properties will lose their properties."
Zhou Man said: "It will take about three years, and even if it is not used in the army, the local expenses will be a lot, so I am not afraid of losing sales."
"The finished medicines are too expensive. Some pills are not as effective as decoctions. If so many are produced, who can sell them?"
"Don't worry about it," Zhou Man said, "Don't say this is just a pharmacy, even if you open two more, the medicines produced can be sold. I have so many people in Dajin, among them businessmen are away from home, and some of them are rich. People prepare medicines, which can be used as medicines."
Master Luo nodded again and again, and persuaded Xiao Yuanzheng together with Zhou Man, "Besides, since the students from the Imperial Medical Office entered the army, more medicinal materials have been consumed, and the number of patent medicines is also increasing. Even if there is no war, these medicines It can also be consumed."
Zhou Man: "It's not that this year I'm a strong man in the Jin Dynasty. I live and work in peace and contentment. When did the war stop in these years? Don't worry, we don't lack people to buy our medicines."
Xiao Yuanzheng: ... He said this, as if he was looking forward to the war and the soldiers to be injured.
Xiao Yuanzheng was finally persuaded by the two of them that the pharmacy would expand its production.
Lord Luo let out a sigh of relief, he was indeed right to call Zhou Man, because of this matter, he has been grinding Xiao Yuanzheng for two months, but in the end he was unwilling to expand production.
Xiao Yuan was sending Zhou Man out of the Imperial Hospital, but he was actually whispering to her. The two of them walked slowly along the palace road to the East Palace. He lowered his voice and said, "I've been too busy these days, I haven't been able to Let me ask you, what do you think of His Majesty's pulse condition?"
Zhou Man looked around.
Xiao Yuanzheng said: "Don't look, this palace road is open, no one can hear us."
Only then did Zhou Man whisper: "Compared to the last time I left the capital, I am much weaker. This is due to a lack of Qi. Perhaps it is because His Majesty fell ill last time, and the focus of the disease has not been cured. I am afraid that I will often fall ill in the future."
Xiao Yuanzheng nodded, "I also have this concern, so I plan to persuade His Majesty to go out for the winter."
Zhou Man was surprised, "Are you planning to use Tangquan to cure your illness?"
"Yes, your majesty has severe phlegm and dampness, but also has a deficiency of qi. If you take medicine, you may not be able to replenish the deficiency, and it will cause other symptoms instead." Xiao Yuanzheng said, "so the best way is to go out of the palace for the winter. Treat slowly with acupuncture."
Zhou Man nodded, "This is indeed a good idea."
"Do you have any advice on acupuncture?"
"That's true," Zhou Man whispered, "If your lord is free in the afternoon, I will go to you to discuss acupuncture after I meet the prince."
