Zhou Man's two requirements for giving prescriptions were: first, to set up an audit department in the Imperial Medical Office for supervision; second, the Imperial Medical Office should also open a comprehensive pharmacy of its own.
The emperor had no objection to both requests and agreed immediately. Then he asked curiously, "Speaking of which, this recipe is hers. What about her own benefits?"
Prince: "No."
The emperor sighed that she was devoted to the public, loyal to the emperor and patriotic, and then changed the topic: "I remember that Qingzhou was asking for money to build a dock. Is it Bai Shan who wants to build the dock?"
The prince, who was about to give something to Zhou Man as a reward, paused, nodded and said, "Yes, Longchi Wharf will be the key to the transportation of Beihai County official salt."
The emperor nodded slightly, indicating that he had remembered the matter.
The prince pressed down on the reward. Compared to the construction of the wharf, this matter was not worth mentioning. After the wharf was completed, Bai Shan's achievements were not small, and Zhou Man would also benefit from it.
When the prince was about to stand up and leave, the emperor suddenly said: "Wei Zhi is ill, and now the court has sealed him. If you don't have much to do, go and see him on my behalf."
The prince was slightly stunned and quickly agreed.
After the letter was sent, Zhou Man and Bai Shan temporarily put it aside. It took a long time for the letter to come and go, so they were accustomed to continuing with what they were doing after the letter was sent.
In order to celebrate the opening of Longchi Pier, Bai Shan invited everyone he could, including the magistrates of several nearby counties. He even invited the governor and magistrate of Laizhou next door.
Generally speaking, governors and county magistrates will not pay attention to him when he travels across state lines, but who has made them cooperate closely recently?
Bai Shan gave them the salting method, and they gave Bai Shan a boat and exchanged some resources, as well as a comprehensive medical office. Because of its reputation and Laizhou being not far from Beihai County, many people came across the state to seek medical treatment.
Of course, these people are not ordinary people. They are mostly rich and powerful people, and their illnesses are not ordinary.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have come to see Zhou Man, so in order to thank Zhou Man, in addition to the governor and magistrate of Laizhou, Bai Shan also sent messages to several gentry and big businessmen, and they would all go the day after tomorrow.
So Bai Shan specially asked people to call Zhou Liwei back, "When the time comes, bring Liwei with you and let him meet some people. There will be a lot of salt in the salt field later, and he will have to handle everything. It doesn't hurt to get to know more people."
Zhou Man nodded.
Bai Shan mused: "He is now considered an official in Beihai County. Next year we will fight with Jiangnan. I plan to petition the court to establish a salt transportation department in Beihai County. He is the manager of the salt field and will definitely join."
Zhou Man blinked, "Is it classy?"
Bai Shan nodded, "The minimum is ninth grade, so when he comes back you have to let him practice his calligraphy. Also, pick up the lost books. I don't require him to be proficient in the Four Books and Five Classics, but official account books cannot
Something went wrong."
Zhou Liwei has been studying with Mr. Zhuang for two years. Before that, he also learned a lot of Chinese characters from Zhou Man. However, when he studied with Zhou Man, he learned a hammer here and there, while with Mr. Zhuang, it was a crash course.
, more about learning calculations and accounting.
After that, he threw away his books and occasionally read some story books, but his accounting skills became more and more proficient.
But that handwriting...
Bai Shan thought of the account book he wrote and couldn't help but shook his head. It looked fine to his family, but when it was put on the table... it didn't look good.
And although he can read, he can't write official documents.
Bai Shandao said: "This time the salt farm will also be on holiday for the New Year. I called him back. In addition to practicing calligraphy, I also had to teach him how to write official documents."
Zhou Man nodded repeatedly, "Okay!"
When she mentioned Li Wei, she thought of Li Zhong, "He should be in Luojiang County now. I wonder if he can pass the exam next year."
Bai Shan said nonchalantly: "If you fail the exam, then take the upright path and join the county government as a servant. And with your achievements, it is not difficult to be kind to him. The difficult thing is later."
His face became more serious, "We will use the grain he sent next year, but we don't know what the harvest will be."
Zhou Man also became serious, "From the data he gave me, it doesn't look bad. The most important thing is to see whether the output can be stabilized."
Bai Shan also knew that the biggest problem with the seeds used in the experimental field was that they were unstable. One seed had long ears and full grains the previous year, but in the second year it looked like a dog crawling over it. One seed was high and the other was low...
With Zhou Man's current achievements, and his ability to give prescriptions to the royal family, it is too easy to get Enyin as a nephew. What is difficult is the subsequent development. They want Zhou Lizhong to engage in what he is good at and build a career with it.
Keep doing it for a long time.
Then this matter cannot be rushed.
The next day, Zhou Liwei was the first to come back with his wife and baggage. The room had been packed for them before the luggage was put down. Xiao Qian came over to see them. As soon as they met, she couldn't help but feel distressed, "Two, two heads."
Ah, how did you become like this?"
I saw that Zhou Liwei, who used to be tall, strong, and handsome, was thin and dark, with only one pair of bright eyes. Looking back, he looked at his aunt, and when he smiled, only his teeth were visible.
Xiao Qian's eyes were red, and she quickly stepped forward to hold his hand, "How much hardship have you endured..."
"Auntie, I'm not bitter. Really, don't look at me now. But my sister-in-law has seen that I'm strong!"
Xiao Qian held back her tears and nodded, but she didn't quite believe it, mainly because the child looked so miserable. He was darker and thinner than her eldest son who was farming in Zhuangzi.
Lan Xin on the side curtsied and saluted, "Auntie."
Only then did Xiao Qian see her, and he quickly went to hold her hand, feeling distressed and saying, "You have lost weight too..." She has also become darker, just not as dark as Zhou Liwei, but Lan Xin used to be so fair, and why has she become darker?
?
Zhou Liwei was afraid that she would cry, so he quickly changed the subject and asked, "I see my sister-in-law and uncle are not here, where are they?"
Xiao Qian said quickly: "They went to Shili Changting, saying they were going to pick up the Governor and the others."
She no longer dwelled on the matter, wiped her eyes, raised a smile and asked: "Are you hungry when you come back from the salt field? I will pick up the governor soon and they will go to Longchi. I will go to the kitchen to get you some food first."
, what do you want to eat?”
Zhou Liwei doesn’t choose, “I’ll eat whatever I can find.”
He glanced at his wife and said sheepishly: "But Lanxin can't eat greasy food. Auntie, how about you cook a bowl of noodles for her? Just put an egg in it and don't add anything else."
Xiao Qian was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at Lan Xin, her eyes bright, "Oh, am I going to have a grandnephew?"
Zhou Liwei smiled naively, and Lan Xin also blushed and lowered her head, whispering: "There is no doctor at the salt farm, but my period is nearly a month late, and I have been very picky about what I eat recently, so I guess it is, but it is not.
I have to ask my sister-in-law to take a look."
"Look, look, let her see it when she comes back. This is a great event. You sit down first and I'll get you something to eat."
