Zhou Man personally sent the person to the door of the medical office and said with a smile: "I have reserved a seat in the Dashun Pavilion and invited Fang County Prime Minister to accompany me. How about we discuss the medicinal materials in detail in the evening?"
Mr. Fang glanced at his two competitors and partners, smiled and nodded together, "Being respectful is worse than obeying orders."
After they all left, Manbao exhaled and said to Wuyue: "I've been walking around a lot with my neighbors recently, and I've also visited various parts of the county. I want to select some capable assistants for the medical department."
, specially designed to help doctors."
Wu Yue said: "Madam, that must be the medicine boy, right?"
Man Bao said: "The division of labor can be more detailed. Some things that do not need to be done by the medicine boy can be mastered after training."
It is more difficult to identify medicinal materials, prepare medicines, and prepare medicinal materials. People must be medicine boy apprentices or above to do it, but other chores can be hired.
But Wuyue said: "Madam, your medical office has to have patients before it can be hired? Didn't you say that the medical office doesn't have much money now? You are still spending so much, so you are not afraid of getting tighter in the future."
Man Bao said confidently: "There are no patients now, but there will be in a few days. Talents must be trained first, otherwise there will be more patients later, which will not only be busy, but also have many things. By then, there will be no time to deal with these things."
Wuyue thought what she said made sense, so she nodded, "Don't worry, madam, I'll go to the county town tomorrow."
Manbao was satisfied.
In the evening, I took the cakes to Dashun Pavilion for dinner.
She invited Fang Xian Cheng to accompany her, as well as Mr. Huang, Shopkeeper Shi and others she met today. She even invited the two doctors from Baicaotang and Renhetang to come over and join a table. Everyone was lively.
There was a heated discussion about medicine.
This time, Jishi Hall in Qingzhou also sent a shopkeeper. Due to natural reasons, Jishi Hall was naturally on Zhou Man's side, so when we discussed the price of medicine today, Shopkeeper Zheng from Jishi Hall directly paid the price.
There is no need to negotiate with Zhou Man for the lowest price.
Relying on Jishitang's words, Manbao and the three drugstore shopkeepers said: "The original intention of the Medical Department is to help the world, not to compete with private hospitals and pharmacies for the source of disease. Xiao Yuanzheng and I both hope to compete with hospitals and pharmacies from all over the world.
Pharmacies and pharmacies make a profit together, and it is a win-win situation. Even Your Majesty hopes that there will be hospitals and pharmacies all over the world, so that when people get sick, everyone can go to a hospital or pharmacies to afford treatment."
She said: "In the final analysis, the medical department mainly targets the poor people, and these people may have looked down on a doctor once in their life in the past, so this aspect has little impact on the medical center and pharmacy; as for the dignitaries and rich people,
The gentry group,"
Man Bao smiled and said: "The Medical Department will not give preferential treatment to those who can afford medical treatment. So naturally, where they choose to seek medical treatment can only be based on their medical skills."
She said: "I have already written to Xiao Yuanzheng, requesting the directors of medical offices in various places to communicate more with doctors in local hospitals and pharmacies, so as to learn and make progress together. When it comes to the merits of medical skills, although students like me can learn
Comprehensive, but the medical skills may not be as good as those of a few, let alone the crouching tigers and hidden dragons in the place. There are not many doctors in the world who have good medical skills."
Everyone felt relieved after hearing this, especially the shopkeepers and doctors of Jishitang, Baicaotang and Renhetang. Their worries immediately disappeared.
Shopkeeper Zheng of Qingzhou Jishi Hall lowered his eyes and thought, no wonder there have been rumors in the capital that they will do their best to support Mr. Zhou. It seems that the capital has reached a consensus.
Shopkeepers Shi and Zhao looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
Even Fang Xian Cheng hinted: "With Mr. Bai here, what are you worried about? Mr. Bai is the parent official of our Beihai County, and he naturally takes our Beihai County as his priority."
Shopkeepers Shi and Zhao had smiles on their faces, but they hummed in their hearts. Their subjects were important, but weren’t the people next to them important?
However, Zhou Man's words still made them feel at ease, so they all raised their glasses and took a sip.
Zhou Man took advantage of the situation and asked: "How many medicinal materials have been decided by the Medical Department and how many days will it take to prepare them?"
Several people looked at each other, and Mr. Fang was the first to say: "I can prepare it for you in three days."
Others immediately said: "I can prepare it within three days."
The matter of medicine was settled in this way, and Manbao was satisfied and prepared to do other things.
She was so generous that she hired three helpers for the medical department to do chores such as cleaning and cooking.
As soon as the medicinal materials arrived, she posted notices all over the county town, bought two firecrackers and set them off in front of the door, and then concentrated on waiting for the patients to come to her door.
But she waited in the medical office for two days with her chin propped up, but no one came to the door, not a single patient!
She thought it must be because everyone didn't know that the medical office had opened yet, so she made arrangements for the watchman to beat the gong and shout that the medical office was officially accepting patients.
After two days, no one came. Man Bao went to see Dahua three times and asked Dahua to help her publicize it among the neighbors.
However, half a day later, there were still only Man Bao and Daji Xibing in the medical office.
Wuyue came over with a feather duster and dusted her off. She stood behind Zhou Man and sighed, "Madam, there is no one here. Do you want the three helpers to come next month?"
Manbao:……
She hesitated a little, frowned and asked: "How come there is no one? We used to say in the capital that there is no charge for medical treatment. As long as everyone comes to see you, if you are not sick, you have to queue up and have our imperial doctor touch you before you are satisfied."
"
Who knows this?
Just as she was sighing, the sound of horse hooves was heard outside the gate. When Zhou Man heard the sound, he jumped up and ran out. When he ran outside, he saw Bai Shan throwing the whip in his hand to the guard, turning around and striding towards her.
.
Man Bao saw that he was wearing green clothes, and the hem of his clothes was still stained with dirt, but it had not been seen for ten days. He had lost a lot of weight, and his face was not as white as before. The look on his face became more and more obvious, and she couldn't help but stop.
He stood on the steps and stared at him blankly.
Bai Shan smiled and ran up the steps quickly. When he saw her looking at him in a daze, he raised his hand and scratched her nose twice, and asked with a smile, "I'm standing in front of you, what are you thinking about?"
When Man Bao saw the smile on his face, he no longer thought that the difficulties he encountered were difficulties. "Let's go home. I have a lot to say to you."
Bai Shan nodded, "I also have a lot to say to you."
The two simply stopped riding and walked back hand in hand through the alleys. Bai Shan first told her, "Everywhere I went, I told the villagers that Qingzhou Medical Office would be located in Beihai County.
, let them come to the city to find you when they are sick."
Then he told her very excitedly, "I saw the sea!"
His eyes were very bright, and he looked down at Manbao as if they were filled with stars: "Can you imagine? Looking up, it seems that there is sea water all the way to the horizon. It is bigger than every big lake I have ever seen, and the tide is high.
At that time, the waves were so big that they seemed to be able to sweep people to the bottom of the sea."
