Xiao Yuanzheng didn't speak, so Man Bao could only take the initiative to speak. Of course, she didn't complain directly. Bai Shan said that the emperor actually didn't like courtiers to quarrel in front of him. Every time he entertained people, no, he complained after the quarrel.
After the ministers and the emperor, they were silently angry for a long time.
So Manbao directly mentioned their purpose, first mentioned the effect of the cowpox method, then mentioned its prospects, and finally said that they would specially train vaccination candidates in the Imperial Medical Office.
After all, the imperial doctors of the imperial hospital cannot always travel between the palace and the imperial village. It is not a problem for one or two years, but for ten or twenty years, it will take a lot of extra time due to part-time work.
The emperor looked at the two of them in surprise and asked, "So your Imperial Medical Office wants to add subjects dedicated to cultivating pox vaccines and preventing and treating smallpox?"
Manbao responded with a "yes" and said: "Your Majesty, there should be ways to prevent and cure all diseases in the world. It is very difficult with current medical skills, but I believe that as long as we study hard, we will one day produce results. Therefore, the vaccination department is not only
For smallpox, we can also target other epidemic diseases in the future."
There are many kinds of epidemics, and no matter which kind they are, they are very harmful, and many people will die every time they appear.
Not only the emperor, but also other ministers in the palace couldn't help but sit up straight and became serious. Wei Zhi asked, "How much does it cost to add a new ministry?"
As one of the prime ministers of the Jin Dynasty, this is one of the issues he is most concerned about.
Manbao looked at Xiao Yuanzheng.
Xiao Yuanzheng knew this best. After all, not long after he wrote the official document and handed it to Taichang Temple, the details of the expenses were listed on it.
Because it is a subordinate department, and Taichang Hospital is not very close to Taichang Temple.
This is due to the special nature of the Taiyuan Hospital. The Taiyuan Hospital in the palace directly obeys the emperor's orders. Of course, Taichang Temple must also obey the orders, but does Taichang Temple dare to order the Taiyuan Hospital?
Taichang Temple didn't even dare to check the medical records in Tai Hospital.
If the Minister of Taichang Temple dares to look, I am afraid that as soon as he leaves the Taichang Hospital, the censor will accuse him of spying on the emperor.
This is a taboo.
Moreover, half of the expenses of the Tai Hospital were applied for through Taichang Temple and the treasury, and the other half were subsidized by the emperor's inner treasury.
For things like the purchase of general medicinal materials, a list is made and given to Taichang Temple for stamping and then sent to the Ministry of Household Affairs, which will allocate funds.
But if you want to buy very precious medicinal materials, such as Tianshan snow lotus, centuries-old ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum, it is too troublesome to go to the household department to get the money, and you need to go through several procedures. The emperor's inner treasury basically allocates money directly.
So Taiyin Hospital and Taichang Temple are not close.
The Imperial Medical Office was run by Taiyuan Hospital, and naturally it was the same. Therefore, because he was not close to him, when writing the order, Xiao Yuanzheng was very humbly trying to save money as much as possible to prevent Taichang Temple from finding problems such as spending too much and not having enough funds.
The excuse was rejected.
But who would have expected that Taichang Temple still rejected him without giving any excuse? It was simply too much!
At this time, Xiao Yuanzheng did not raise the prices and reported directly, "Because smallpox is special, it is not suitable to cultivate and vaccinate the vaccine in the Imperial Medical Office, so I want to continue to use Huangzhuang."
He said: "Everything in the Imperial Manor is ready-made, so there is no need to spend any extra money."
The emperor nodded slightly. After all, Huangzhuang belongs to him. Using Huangzhuang to study smallpox only takes up some space. In addition to the labor provided by the Ministry of Works, Huangzhuang can also transfer it, saving money and effort. This is good.
Xiao Yuanzheng continued: "As for the Imperial Medical Office, we only need to build two more classrooms and two dormitories. The books used for teaching, acupuncture, etc. can be shared with other departments in the Imperial Medical Office. Other than that, we only need to purchase prevention and treatment."
The cost of the medicinal materials for smallpox has been paid, and the list has been handed in before, so it is not very expensive."
The adults nodded slightly, and Wei Zhi spoke on behalf of everyone, "Your Majesty, this can be added, but will the doctors in the Imperial Hospital be busy enough?"
Xiao Yuanzheng immediately said: "The Imperial Physician Lu has great experience in the prevention and treatment of smallpox. I would like to mention that he is the chief official of this department and is specifically responsible for this matter. At that time, Imperial Physician Zhou and several other imperial doctors assisted in teaching. Although it is a bit harder,
But I should still be responsible.”
Prince Gong, who had been sitting there, interrupted and said, "Didn't I say that the development of the vaccine to prevent smallpox was the first achievement last week? Why did Dr. Lu become the first official?"
Man Bao only raised his head and glanced at him and said: "Returning to King Gong, I don't dare to take the first credit. Doctor Lu has worked hard in the past two years and made a huge contribution to the prevention and treatment of smallpox, especially in the past six months, he has worked hard and handed it over to His Majesty.
He personally participated in every piece of data and made great contributions, so he was convinced by the chief official."
Humph, Prince Gong wouldn't be kind enough to raise a point. He's either trying to sow discord or trying to tire me out. No matter what, she won't let him succeed.
Man Bao flattered Dr. Lu and shaped his image a bit. Xiao Yuanzheng glanced at her and said: "Doctor Lu has indeed made a great contribution to the research on the prevention and treatment of smallpox, and his other medical skills are not bad either.
, His Royal Highness Prince Gong should know this."
Man Bao's eyes lit up, and he immediately looked at Prince Gong with vigour. Yes, Prince Gong used to like to use Dr. Ji the most. Later, when Dr. Ji became an official, his favorite doctor was Dr. Lu.
Huh, you are holding back Imperial Physician Lu in front of the emperor. Does Physician Lu know?
Prince Gong choked for a moment, his face remained calm, but he was very disdainful in his heart.
As a prince, he wouldn't be able to bribe doctors, he could only seek refuge with doctors on his own initiative.
It's just that neither the former Dr. Ji nor the former Dr. Lu expressed their surrender to him, but he was used to using them. After all, it was better to find a doctor he knew well when seeing a doctor.
Doctors generally also like to treat the same person, and this is Man Bao. Although she likes a variety of new cases, she actually also likes to treat the same person, so that the changes in the condition can be easily understood.
However, a doctor would not say such a thing out loud, as it is unlucky after all.
When people go to a gold and silver shop, they can tell them that they will come back next time, but can they say the same thing to a drug store or a medical clinic?
Seeing that his son was frustrated, the emperor couldn't help but glance at him. He didn't understand what he was thinking. He obviously suffered a loss every time he dealt with Zhou Man, but he never had a long memory and would still try to tease him next time.
The prince was already drinking tea quietly, ignoring his younger brother who used to get furious every time he saw him.
The emperor thought for a while and simply took out the matters that had been pressing for several months. "In that case, let's add a new one. Well, let's name it the 'Vaccine Department'. From now on, we will specialize in the prevention and treatment of epidemic diseases like vaccines."
The recipe.”
The emperor said: "Now there is only one disease that can be prevented and cured: smallpox, so let's start with smallpox."
