Man Bao took out the brochure and said, "Although the private school only occupies one class, it requires no less than three rooms for teaching. We will calculate it as three rooms. How much does it cost to build such three rooms next to the Imperial College?"
"Twenty students have to live in the department, and there are at least two dormitories, as well as the most basic things such as tables and chairs..."
Wang Ji couldn't help but said: "These things can't be used only once, future students can also use them."
"No one can predict what will happen in the future," Man Bao said, "What if our Imperial Medical Office won't recruit students from private schools starting next year?"
Ministers:......
"But don't worry, we didn't include all the construction costs, only part of them. Since you said these are fixed, let's calculate the loss of teaching materials."
Man Bao said: "Let's talk about medicinal materials. There are more than a thousand kinds in total. They have to recognize medicinal materials to study medicine. These more than a thousand kinds have to be bought for them to identify. And the same medicinal material can be divided into several states. The most basic one is
, raw and cooked, the latter has to be cooked."
"By the way, you need other materials to prepare medicines. Firewood and other materials are the most basic, not to mention expensive things like wine." Man Bao continued to flip through the book and said: "In addition to these, there are also knives and tweezers.
, scissors, needles and other things.”
Man Bao thought of something, looked up at them and said, "Do you know how valuable a good set of knives is?"
Xiao Yuanzheng on the side interrupted: "The set of self-made knives used by Mrs. Fan cost more than sixty taels."
Officials: ...The set of knives in the hands of Dr. Fan is probably the only one among doctors in the world. Why do the doctors in their family compete with Dr. Fan?
Man Bao seemed to know what they were thinking, and said quietly: "If a woman has a difficult delivery and needs a caesarean section, she needs a good set of knives."
Officials:...Okay.
"Okay, there are still some bits and pieces, but I won't mention the items that cost a lot," Man Bao closed the book and said, "Why don't you calculate the cost of those one thousand medicinal materials?"
"That's the material of the entire Imperial Medical Office. We can't count all the expenses on the people we sent."
Manbao's face darkened and he said, "Mr. Wang, you still said that you were not seeking personal gain. If His Majesty and the Ministry of Revenue hadn't provided some money, do you think you could have bought these things with just your one hundred taels?"
"Have we discounted what we want to teach them? Have our imperial doctors received the salary you paid? What we received is your Majesty's salary and silver from the court!" Man Bao said sternly: "The two you handed over
Could it be that our Imperial Medical Office and the Eastern Palace divided the thousand taels together?"
"No!" Man Bao shouted loudly: "The whereabouts of the money have been listed long ago. They are all used to train students in the Imperial Medical Office, and the students in the Imperial Medical Office are used to be loyal to the country and to Your Majesty!"
"If I don't teach you, our imperial doctors will still get double salary. Teaching you, we expend all the energy willingly. What do you think we are doing for this?"
Xiao Yuanzheng knelt on the ground and responded loudly with tears in his eyes: "It's for your Majesty, for the people of the world, and for my great Jin Dynasty. Your Majesty, I am wronged, and the Imperial Medical Office is wronged!"
Man Bao also knelt down and shouted: "Your Majesty, after all this, he still slanders our Imperial Medical Office and is only interested in personal gain. Is it possible that the combined skills of so many imperial doctors in our Imperial Medical Office are not worth even one hundred taels?"
?What’s more, this money is not for our Imperial Physicians, but for the people of the world. Please make the decision for our Imperial Physician’s Office!”
Man Bao kowtowed, then tilted his head slightly to look at Xiao Yuanzheng, who was kneeling on the left. His eyes, one big and one small, met and blinked at each other. Xiao Yuanzheng was experienced and felt really aggrieved, so he burst into tears.
Out.
Man Bao was anxious and blinked her eyes hard. When she found that tears could not come out, she looked at Xiao Yuanzheng with wide eyes.
Xiao Yuanzheng only had time to glance at her before he withdrew his gaze, raised his tear-stained face and wailed again, "Please, Your Majesty, make the decision for our Imperial Medical Office!"
Man Bao couldn't hold back his tears, so he could only straighten up from the ground and tilt his head to look at Wang Ji on the right with a confident expression.
The officials who had previously felt that the fees charged by the Imperial Medical Office were a bit high, and were a little resentful towards the Imperial Medical Office, suddenly felt embarrassed.
Everyone thought the same thing. Xiao Yuanzheng and the others were only responsible for teaching. Although they collected the money, if there was no corruption, all the money would have been used in the Imperial Medical Office.
They did not gain anything, but instead had to teach twenty more students, but received the same salary...
Of course, most of the courtiers understood it and expressed their approval. Those led by Dong Gong naturally tried their best to stand on the side of Zhou Man and Xiao Yuanzheng, but together with Wang Ji and the other five people, even if they understood in their hearts, they also said it in their mouths.
Can't understand.
Otherwise, today I will not be able to get away with the crime of being a vegetarian.
This crime is not a light one. It is much more severe than Wang Ji's previous unrest in the family, being unkind as an uncle, and trying to seize his nephew's property.
There are quite a few people in the imperial court who practice vegetarianism in their corpse position, but they cannot be officially recognized because apparently His Majesty and the imperial court do not need people who practice vegetarianism in their corpse position.
As a result, the two parties immediately started quarreling as soon as they collided.
It's just that Wang Ji's side was not prepared, but Guo Zhanshi's side had prepared two days earlier, so the East Palace was slightly better than them in terms of numbers and materials.
Wang Ji and others were very angry and had no good words in the quarrel. In the end, he pointed at Man Bao's nose and cursed, "It's hard to raise a woman."
This was the first time that Man Bao came to the scene of a quarrel between ministers. She was so surprised that when she heard Wang Ji scolding her, she retorted: "You are so angry and shameless. Have I never eaten your rice?"
"you!"
"On the contrary, it's you. Your mother gave birth to you and raised you. She also provided for you to study, marry and have children. In the end, you said that it's hard to raise a woman. It's so unfilial. You also poach His Majesty. This is unfaithful. You are unfaithful and unfilial!"
Wang Ji opened his mouth to retort, but heard Zhou Man continue without breath, "You still want to steal your eldest brother's son's property, and you are not jealous of it. You also bully your nephew. You almost did it back then."
Your nephew was beaten to death. This is unkind. You are not jealous and unkind!"
"you you--"
"As an official, you have no love for the people. You only want to take advantage of the country and the people. This is unkind. Xiao Yuan has been an official in the same court with you for more than ten years. We must have a collegiality. However, you slandered Xiao for personal gain.
The court is doing something unjust, you are unkind and unjust!"
Wang Ji's finger pointing at her started to tremble. Xiao Yuanzheng, who was standing behind Man Bao, could tell that something was wrong, let alone Man Bao who was facing him directly.
But Man Bao still read out the last sentence, "You are unfaithful, filial, brotherly, kind, and unjust!"
Not to mention the emperor above, the entire court fell silent, gaping at Zhou Man who kept talking.
