Because the hospital was completely demolished from the original building, with complete planning, and built from scratch, when it was nearing completion, a key step was naturally indispensable: putting up the beams.
This hospital has more than one or two buildings, so it is naturally impossible to hold the beam-raising ceremony in each building. Therefore, the main building will be selected to complete the ceremony. The three-story "outpatient building" becomes the first choice. So, at first glance, it seems that it is still far from complete. In fact, the hospital has been completely completed, and only the internal things need to be put in.
The auspicious day chosen was April 12. The birth of this hospital had extraordinary significance. Therefore, many people participated in the beam-raising ceremony. In addition to people from all parties who participated in the construction of the hospital and those who had basically confirmed that they would serve in the hospital, there were also many officials, and Prince Duan came on behalf of Emperor Xuanren.
Although this is Xiaocao's hospital, whether it is the formal beam-raising ceremony or the previous worship of gods, it seems that all she needs to do is to light a stick of incense and say a prayer. The rest has nothing to do with her and she does not need to participate.
Having said that, Xiaocao still participated in the whole process. The moment he saw the completion of the "Zhongliang", he suddenly felt a sense of accomplishment. Although some of the previous things made him a little depressed, when he thought about the original plan and the good start now, things would get better and better in the future. The negative emotions faded away quietly, and he unconsciously revealed a pure smile.
Because this place is not a residence and is not convenient for hosting banquets, the "Beam Raising Banquet" is held in Princess Anguo's Mansion.
After the beams are put up, we will finish the work as quickly as possible and get all the things needed inside ready. These things can be completed in three days at most, so the time for the opening of the hospital has already been chosen.
—The hospital’s plaque has been completed, and the words were written by Emperor Xuanren himself. The hospital’s name, “Taikang”, is quite “vulgar”, but its meaning is unquestionable.
The banquet at Princess Anguo's mansion was still extremely lively. However, the host, Princess Anguo, did not show up. To be precise, she was not in the princess's mansion. Xiaocao and Wei Tingyu were receiving the Ji family at this time.
It was the Ji family that had built the wheelchair for Wei Tingyu. The Ji family's forging technology was the best in the world, but the Ji family had an ancestral precept not to build offensive items, a rule that could not be compromised even at the cost of the entire family. Therefore, even though the emperors of all dynasties were very envious of their skills, they still could not let them serve the court.
However, as the saying goes, "An innocent man is guilty of possessing a treasure", for the Ji family's forging skills, many conspiracies and intrigues were staged, and they were also forced many times. Therefore, the Ji family basically stayed away from the world, and the members of the family died out.
Speaking of it, the reason why the Ji family built a wheelchair with great lethality for Wei Tingyu was actually quite old-fashioned, that is, a life-saving grace. By coincidence, Wei Tingyu saved the Ji clan patriarch, Du Lu, the only existing person who had cracked a higher level of Ji clan's ancestral skills. Because he broke the exception, the young patriarch also asked for punishment, and this punishment almost cost him half his life.
Those extremely exquisite and beautiful "silver needle bracelets" that Wei Tingyu gave to Xiaocao were also made by the Ji family. It was when Xiaocao asked Wei Tingyu later that she learned about the existence of the Ji family, so she wanted the Ji family to help make various medical equipment. Wei Tingyu introduced them, and naturally the things Xiaocao wanted were within the scope of the Ji family. Although, whether out of their own pride or for some other reason, the Ji family would not agree to help anyone who came to them.
But Xiaocao is different. She needs things for the country and the people, so the Ji family naturally has no reason to refuse.
Today, the Ji family delivered the first batch of finished tools according to the drawings provided by Xiaocao.
I have to say that after seeing the things, Xiaocao was quite surprised. They were even more perfect than expected. At first glance, he even felt like he was traveling through time from his previous life.
Because of this satisfaction, Xiaocao wanted to have a deeper cooperation with the Ji family. After all, the demand for these things would become greater and greater in the future. When it comes to getting the best, Xiaocao naturally doesn't want to settle for second best.
The person in charge of delivering the gifts this time happened to be the young patriarch of the Ji family, an "old acquaintance" of Wei Tingyu.
Actually, the Ji family has a lot of problems. From generation to generation, many people like "creative research" and do not like to organize and bury themselves in creating the same things day after day. Moreover, they have little pursuit of fame and fortune. Otherwise, let alone other things, with the craftsmanship of the Ji family, they can create a unique status in the jewelry industry alone, which no one can match.
Wei Tingyu naturally knew about the situation of the Ji family, but he had never told Xiaocao before. However, the current situation was also within his expectations. After all, he also knew Xiaocao.
"Brother Hengshan, you might as well think about it. In fact, this will only benefit your Ji family and not harm them. Your family's current situation is indeed not very good."
Ji Hengshan's silence was not only not good, but there was a crisis of "genocide".
"You should all be aware of Princess Anguo's current status and position. This Taikang Hospital is just the beginning of what she is going to do. With the emperor's support, let alone what will happen in a thousand or a hundred years, within a hundred years, the relevant aspects will inevitably reach an unprecedented high. In fact, even if there is a change of dynasty, any smart person will not let the 'foundation' laid by Princess Anguo be destroyed. If you let your Ji family exclusively manufacture these medical instruments, without violating your ancestral teachings, anyone who wants to take advantage of your Ji family will have to think twice."
