Chapter 303 Medal for Outstanding Contribution

The city wall of the capital has three rings, the outermost ring is called the outer city wall, there is also a ring of imperial city walls inside, and the innermost ring is the palace wall.

Within the walls of the imperial city are usually places where the powerful and powerful stay, such as several palaces, and the residences of important ministers in the six yamen are all in the imperial city.

Taixue and the original Zhenjue Temple are also in the imperial city.

But the gynecological hospital is for the public, not for the powerful, so Song Qingyue did not want to locate the place where the doctors of the gynecological hospital sit in the imperial city.

Instead, it was located outside the North City Gate, which was close to the wall of the Imperial City. It was outside the Imperial City and not too far from the academy.

It takes half a cup of tea to walk from the Medical College of Gynecology, which is still under construction.’

Now Jiang Zizheng sits in class in the morning and teaches in the afternoon, while Meng Wanfeng does the opposite, teaching in the morning and sitting in class in the afternoon.’

With the addition of Meng Wanfeng, although Jiang Zizheng's work pressure has been reduced, the pressure on his academic authority as the dean has suddenly become huge!

The new female vice-president is indeed not a vegetarian. She is as old as the eldest princess and is still a little girl. However, her medical skills are very good, especially in acupuncture. Her attainments are frighteningly high.

The treatment was quick and accurate. One time, a woman came here with her leg swollen like a big carrot. She went to see Jiang Zizheng three days ago. After taking three doses of medicine, the effect was there but not obvious. Then she came to see a doctor again. This

The next time I came in the afternoon, I met Meng Wanfeng. Doctor Meng directly pricked a hole in the socket of her hind leg with a thick silver needle and poured out half a bowl of black blood. Now the woman's legs are not swollen and she can walk.

, people feel comfortable.

As soon as the dean came here, he quickly and well cured the patients that the dean had not cured. Jiang Zizheng's face was wrinkled!

Can't be compared to a little girl!

His dear wife is still a student in the college. Even if he is compared with a little girl, he cannot be compared in front of his dear wife!

Jiang Zizheng’s pride as a man can’t stand it!

Dean Jiang began to study the box of medical practice notes from Mr. Chen all night long. While reading, he sorted and summarized them, and even secretly ran to Aunt Chen to ask for advice on acupuncture.

Song Qingyue only felt happy when she heard this. Jiang Zizheng's character was quite good.

Although he has a bit of the machismo common among men in this era, what he did was healthy competition, and he did not suppress, belittle or even frame the other party for the sake of his own fame and fortune.

There is nothing wrong with stealing from others. Song Qingyue even hoped that Jiang Zizheng could ask Aunt Chen for advice openly.

The more you debate, the clearer your principles become, the clearer your arguments become, and the more exchanges you make, the more open your ideas will be.

The reason why a relatively large college is established is to allow medical leaders to communicate more.

Of course, if there is malicious suppression or slander in the academy, Song Qingyue will not tolerate it no matter how good his medical skills are!

As for the emperor, although he was stingy in giving material and financial rewards to his ministers, he was very generous in giving material rewards to the craftsmen in the arsenal!

Hearing that Song Qingyue once gave a thousand taels of silver to the sixteen-year-old gunpowder apprentice who developed collodion, the emperor thought deeply, so he gave the group of gunsmiths who changed the rifled cannon to an iron-core copper body a thousand taels of silver each.

One thousand taels of silver, and a medal.

The medal is not big, but it is made of pure gold. It consists of a gear and a hammer. The four words "Outstanding Contribution" are written below, and the year number of Jingning's 39th year is written below.

The pair of masters and apprentices who made collodion, and Master Yan, who made countless efforts in the manufacture of flintlock guns, also received the Outstanding Contribution Medal personally awarded by His Majesty the Emperor.

Each medal has its own number, which must be recorded in a book and cannot be faked.

When awarding the medal, His Majesty the Emperor did not ask the eunuchs to convey the order. Instead, he personally went to the arsenal to meet with the craftsmen, and also asked His Highness the First Prince to pin the medals on several craftsmen with his own hands.

But it made everyone in the cave envious!

Of course, His Majesty the Emperor did not treat poorly the craftsmen who made guns and cannons for Prince Su's Mansion in the dark caves and on the windy and humid island. The masters were each given one hundred taels of silver, and the apprentices were each given

I bought fifty taels, saying it was a Mid-Autumn Festival benefit.

This is much more than a piece of bacon and two boxes of sweet-scented osmanthus cakes distributed to civil servants!

These craftsmen never dreamed that they would have such a day!

You must know that in the Zhou Dynasty, the status of craftsmen was not even as good as that of farmers.

The treatment of official craftsmen is even worse than that of each generation.

Unexpectedly, the new emperor, who was said to be extremely stingy, would be so generous to them!

Nowadays, the enthusiasm of the craftsmen in the arsenal is unprecedentedly high. After completing the tasks assigned by the superiors, everyone begins to think about how to modify firearms to make them more powerful, have a longer range, and achieve higher progress?

The Zhou Dynasty was a huge country with a population of hundreds of millions, and there was no shortage of talents.

Craftsmen who make firearms are so important, but their status is low. Even if they make merit and contributions, in most cases they will be robbed by superior officials. If things go on like this, who else is willing to use their talents, do their best, and actively contribute?

Now His Majesty the Emperor has made Li Zhao directly responsible for the arsenal, flattening the organization as much as possible. Anyway, the money for the arsenal is paid by the emperor, bypassing the red tape of the three agencies of the Ministry of War, the Ministry of Household Affairs, and the Ministry of Industry, so that the craftsmen can have any good ideas.

Directly to heaven.

Song Qingyue, who was writing teaching materials at home, heard Li Zhao say that he went to the arsenal to give medals to the craftsmen, and said dissatisfiedly: "What about mine? My contribution is not greater than anyone else's? Where are my bonuses and medals?"

Li Zhao was stunned for a moment and said amusedly: "You came up with the idea for the medal to my father, but the medal was made by Shopkeeper Liu. How many good things do you have, and yet you still care about that thing?"

"Why don't you care about it? Ah, the contributions made by others are contributions. Do I deserve to contribute? Everyone else has it, so why don't I?"

"Okay, okay! I will tell my father tomorrow and ask him to give you one too!"

"I want my father to wear it for me personally!"

"No problem. Is it okay to write another imperial edict praising you?"

Song Qingyue snorted: "That's pretty much it."

The next day, Song Qingyue accompanied Li Zhao into the palace to have lunch with the emperor.

The eldest brother Song Chenhai was finally leaving, and Li Zhao took Song Qingyue to meet him and say goodbye.

In the presence of the Song family, His Majesty the Emperor held a small medal awarding ceremony for Song Qingyue.

First, Eunuch Wang read out a 500-word edict of praise, and then His Majesty the Emperor personally gave Song Qingyue a special medal necklace set with a ruby.

Song Qingyue raised her delicate chin and was finally satisfied.

After lunch, Song Qingyue planned to see her eldest brother off in the suburbs of Beijing.

Once my eldest brother leaves, we will definitely not see him again for the next three to five years.

The news that Song Chenhai was going to Guizhou to serve as an official was announced in early September.

Mrs. Chu of the Zhang family almost fainted and cried to Shilang Zhang, asking him why he didn't speak for his son-in-law. Shilang Zhang sighed: "Your Majesty personally decided the matter. Mr. Song Ge didn't say anything. What can I say?"

"Your Majesty personally decided this matter?" Mrs. Chu was extremely frightened. She had heard about the quarrel between His Royal Highness the Eldest Prince and His Majesty in the Imperial Study Room over Concubine Shun.

Now there are wild rumors outside that the reason why the emperor has been delaying in granting the title of king to the princes is because he hesitated about the location of the East Palace.

Zhang Shilang was one of the few people in the court who knew something about the inside story. One look at his wife's expression and he knew that she must be thinking wrongly. He comforted him vaguely: "Don't believe those rumors outside. His Majesty and His Highness are playing a big game of chess.

We have a good relationship! Tongren County has confidential and important matters and needs to send someone with absolute trust to do it, so we chose my son-in-law to go there."

"Seriously?" Ms. Chu's eyes widened in surprise. Her emotions fluctuated greatly between these few words. She clutched her chest and was out of breath.

Zhang Shilang nodded: "Madam, there is no need to worry, but you should only keep what I say today in your heart and do not spread it outside." He pointed to his head, lowered his voice and said solemnly, "It is not an ordinary secret. Seriously, not a word of it can be spread out."

"Yes, I can save you." Mrs. Chu nodded hurriedly, and touched her neck when she walked out of her husband's study, feeling scared and excited at the same time.

The emperor didn't know what had caused him to have a seizure that day. It was probably because Li Jin, who was born to love freedom, had already reached his limit after staying in the palace for almost four months. He said willfully that he would leave the palace incognito to see his son off.

Brother-in-law.

The secret guards and Wang Gonggong who were responsible for the emperor's security suddenly felt so stressed that they were sweating on their foreheads.

But there is nothing you can do, who doesn’t know what kind of temper your master is?

If you can't stop it, no one will stop it.

Just do the security work well.

According to the emperor's words, if he is not even allowed to leave the palace, is raising these secret guards just to fatten them up in the palace?

But the emperor's safety is no joke after all.

First of all, the emperor needs to wear a layer of cotton armor on the outside of his inner clothes, and a layer of chain mail that is specially made to be lighter, and then put a fine cotton t-shirt on the outside of the chain mail.

Wearing a fine cotton cloak and a black square hat, he looks... like some good mountain king.

The emperor is a tall man, and he is really majestic when he is not smiling.

The carriage for the Emperor's visit incognito has been prepared long ago.

From the outside, it looks like an ordinary wooden carriage, but in fact the inner wall is made of two-inch thick steel plates.

The Ministry of Internal Affairs has tested it and found that the carriage wall cannot be penetrated with a sniper rifle.

The window is in the shape of a grille, which is a steel plate with densely packed small holes. You can easily see the outside from the inside, but you can't see the inside from the outside.

Even a rifled sniper rifle is difficult to aim accurately from a hundred paces away.

An impeccable super bulletproof car!

Song Qingyue thought it was quite interesting, but she did not follow Li Zhao to the emperor's carriage. Instead, she accompanied her sister-in-law, eldest sister, second sister, and Liang in a car.

There was also a large carriage with Mr. Song and a group of brothers from the Song family sitting on it.
