After the New Year, not only Zhou Man, Ming Da also became busy, so he had no time to take care of the children.
Zhou Man found a vacant yard in his house and called all the children of the Zhou family who were under school age to study with his two children, Bai Jingxing and Bai Ruoyu.
Speaking of reading, I spend three out of four hours a day playing.
Every morning, Mrs. Qian brought the children of the Zhou family here and brought them back in the evening. Mrs. Zheng taught them some poems, occasionally painted and played the piano for them, and they lived a very comfortable life.
The maids given by the palace minister were of great use. Not only were they full of etiquette, but they were also literate, and they were responsible for taking care of him. I heard from Xiao Qian that the old Zhoutou had been brought up by the children who had returned a lot.
When the spring plowing day came, the court had a field holiday. Zhou Man organized and sealed today's pulse cases, casually put the non-urgent official documents on the case on the medicine box, and left with it.
There were quite a few busy doctors in the Imperial Hospital. Seeing this, they asked: "Master Zhou has gone to the Yamen?"
Zhou Man nodded, "My work is done."
Everyone watched her off with envy.
"Don't look at it. If you can check all the official documents in your hands in one hour like her, you can also go to the office on time." Dr. Lu floated past them, slapped a note on one person's table, and said:
"Mr. He, you will be on duty in the palace tonight."
He Guangbai immediately stood up and said, "Yes."
When an imperial doctor heard this, he immediately went to him with the official documents in his hand and said, "Physician He, it's been a long night in the palace and I'm bored sitting around. Why don't you help me deal with these official documents?"
Others also went to him with the official documents in their hands. He Guangbai declined helplessly, "I don't dare to accept it. What should I do if there is a delay in seeking medical treatment in the palace?"
Doctor Lu frowned and looked at them displeased, "I have dealt with my own affairs, so what's the point of pushing it to someone who has only been in the hospital for a few years?"
"Mr. Lu, aren't you also suffering from this? In the past, we only needed to see doctors and prescribe prescriptions. It was not difficult to write pulse records and organize case information. But now we have to calculate even the cost of declaring the list of medicinal materials from various places. We have to wait and see.
If you are not a clerk in the Ministry of Revenue, settling an account is more tiring than seeing a hundred patients."
"Yes, we are old. We are not as young as Dr. He and they are smarter. Those who can do more work. We can share their patients."
"You... Doctor Zhou..." Doctor Lu looked behind them. Everyone turned their heads and saw Zhou Man returning. They immediately lowered their heads and took back the official documents in their hands.
Doctor Lu stared, when did Zhou Man have such prestige in the hospital?
Wasn't everyone more afraid of him before?
He Guangbai's face also changed slightly, and he stood with his head bowed, "Mr."
Students from the Imperial Medical Office, especially the classes taught by Zhou Man, are more accustomed to calling Mr. Zhou Man instead of Mr. Zhou.
"I forgot to bring some information. Come back and get it." Zhou Man glanced at the official documents in their hands and frowned slightly, "What official documents are these?"
Seeing her stretch out her hand, an older imperial doctor next to her put the official document in her hand and complained in a low voice: "This is the official document about the consumption of medicinal materials by the Tangzhou Medical Department last year, as well as the medicinal materials list and budget applied for this year.
Ask your subordinates to check the amount that should be paid this year based on the previous year's consumption. Doctor Zhou, at this age, I am not a clerk in the Ministry of Revenue, how can I know how to calculate this?"
Zhou Man flipped it over and closed it, "Who gave it to you? This is the work of the Imperial Medical Office and is not within the scope of the Imperial Hospital's responsibilities. Moreover, this thing has been completed a long time ago."
It was all done a year ago. In the spring, all we need to do is check the funds and release them to the state medical offices for purchase.
Several other imperial doctors looked at each other, stepped forward and saluted, "It's what Xiao Yuan is asking us to check."
When Zhou Man heard this, he returned the official document to him and said, "Then you can check it."
All the imperial doctors:...
Zhou Man went to the office to get the information he wanted, then left with the medicine box.
Everyone watched her off again. This time, an imperial doctor went to the door to see her. When he saw that she was far away, he turned around and said, "Let's go."
"Oh, I thought Mr. Zhou would help us."
"Don't think about it. Mr. Zhou and the hospital just happen to be able to wear a pair of trousers. How could you disobey the president?"
It is true that Zhou Man would not disobey Xiao Yuanzheng's words, but she was also curious about why Xiao Yuanzheng did this, so she did not leave after leaving the palace, but transferred to the Imperial Medical Office.
The officials in the Imperial Medical Office were even busier. Even though it was already the time to go to the office, they were still busy. Zhou Man walked all the way into his office. Next door was Mr. Luo's office. He had accumulated a lot of things on his desk.
Official documents, the door was open. Occasionally he looked up and saw Zhou Man passing by his door. He immediately held the pen and chased out, "Mr. Zhou, has the Drug Account Department of the Medical Department of Hedong Road sent it?"
Zhou Man nodded and said: "It's been delivered. I've asked someone to check it and it's correct. It's been put into storage and will be sent out after the field holiday."
"Why do we celebrate the field holiday at this time?" Mr. Luo said: "I think the weather is quite good today. If Mr. Zhou is free, I will send it out today, so that all states and counties can receive it after the field holiday."
Zhou Man looked at the time and frowned: "In such a hurry?"
"There's no need to rush. I just received a Huainan Road excerpt from Zhongshu Province. It says that the epidemic is serious in Huainan, with many people suffering from typhoid fever and a high mortality rate. The medical offices of several prefectures and counties in Huainan Road have issued orders.
I wrote a letter requesting the Imperial Medical Office to send a senior physician to check it out, and be sure to bring a batch of medicinal materials for relief when the time comes. It will be very busy."
"It was cold in spring some time ago, and it is indeed easy to catch the wind and cold. I know, and I will go to get silver soon." Zhou Man glanced at the pen in his hand and reminded: "Master Luo, the ink on your pen is about to dry."
Only then did Mr. Luo remember that he was still holding the pen in his hand, and with an ouch, he turned around and went back.
Zhou Man thought for a while and went to find Xiao Yuanzheng.
Xiao Yuan was also busy. He took the time to look up at her and then lowered his head, "If you have anything to say, just say it."
"Why did the hospital give the official documents that have been processed to the doctors of the hospital to process again?"
"Choose people," Xiao Yuanzheng said: "The Imperial Medical Office is short of people."
Zhou Man touched his chin and said: "The Jinshi examination has been passed, and the civil service examination will be held soon. Hasn't the director thought about selecting some talented people?"
Xiao Yuanzheng: "They don't understand medical medicine. We don't care about the price of the medicine. The medicine list must be checked, and non-medical people should not do it."
Zhou Man said: "The drug list can be fixed. We should work harder in the early stage to determine the free drug list that is suitable for each category, so they will not make mistakes."
Xiao Yuanzheng: "If there is an increase or decrease..."
"Approve once at a fixed time, either one year or two years, and re-formulate the drug list."
Xiao Yuanzheng: "...In this way, the workload will be piled on us."
Zhou Man said: "It is a waste of manpower to select people from the Imperial Hospital like this now. Isn't the extra work going to be shared among us in the end?"
