Chapter 412
Du Wenhao said: "Okay, let's use the signboard of our Wuweitang as a pilot. After the pilot is successful and we have accumulated experience, we will gradually expand and add some time-honored products and issue some protection laws. The decree has been issued."

Gao Taotao said: "I don't understand this, you have decided. Just say what you want me to do, and I will let them do it. It is right to protect the reputation of time-honored brands and prevent counterfeiting by bad businessmen. I believe your method of protecting time-honored brands Definitely not a bad idea."

"Hehe, it's hard to say if it's a bad idea. A great man said it well. Practice is the only criterion for testing the truth. It doesn't count if anyone says it. If it's used, it's good."

"This great man is right!" Although Gao Taotao couldn't quite understand what Du Wenhao said, he roughly guessed the meaning. He had never heard of it, and he must have made it up himself, but he didn't ask.

Du Wenhao said again: "I want to go all out to rectify the army. The Tai Medical Bureau must have a trustworthy person with strong professionalism to help me."

"That's good, I'll just seal your apprentice's money as the judge of the Imperial Medical Bureau, and let him help you. By the way, isn't there a Wen Po and a female officer to teach? Let your two train Wen Po in Kaifeng Mansion before." How about your wife and aunt as a medical officer?"

"Okay!" Du Wenhao was overjoyed, and kissed her: "Tao Tao is so nice! I thank you for Yuqin, Feier and Bucheng."

"Thank you, what you think is exactly what I think."

"Then we can be regarded as a tacit understanding."

The Empress Dowager smiled, and then asked: "Is there anything else?"

"Also!" Du Wenhao continued: "If you want to learn laparotomy, you must perform an autopsy. Therefore, I would like to ask you to issue an imperial decree so that when criminals are executed in various places in the future, unclaimed corpses, as well as various places caused by famine All unclaimed corpses that died due to other reasons were sealed in ice and rushed to the Imperial Medical Bureau, where I used them for teaching dissection. After the corpses are used up, we will cremate them.”

Gao Taotao nodded and said: "That's no problem. Anyway, unclaimed corpses were burned in the past, or buried in random graves. They are used for you to teach doctors to learn medical skills and learn how to treat more people. This is a good thing. Tomorrow I will issue a decree to inform all the places.—What else is there?"

"What's more, my investigation work may involve relevant departments such as three provinces and six ministries. They need their cooperation and provide various data..."

"I understand. I'll write you an order immediately, so that the imperial court and all the local yamen will obey your orders, so that you can investigate. How about it?"

Du Wenhao said happily: "That's great."

Gao Taotao called Eunuch Jiao, fetched a pen and paper, and wrote a letter with the pen, which was stamped with the seal of the jade seal.Pass it to Du Wenhao.Du Wenhao happily put the letter into his arms carefully, and said goodbye.

Just after leaving the gate of Kunning Palace, two servants came out of the gatehouse.The older one stepped forward and bowed first: "General, the emperor sent a young man to ask the general, what should I do about the lecture?"

"Haha, you ask me, who am I going to ask?" Du Wenhao was in a good mood, and he made a joke casually. Seeing that the waiter was panicked, he realized that he was no longer a little imperial doctor, but a dignified second-rank minister. , All the three yamen are inspected, if you make jokes about people, you have to take it seriously, so you suppress your smile and say: "You should go to the person in charge of the emperor's lectures. I am not the person in charge. I don't know if you are looking for me."

The servant hurriedly said: "The empress dowager has already explained that you are responsible for the emperor's teaching arrangements."

"Me?" Du Wenhao was a little puzzled, "I just came out from the Empress Dowager just now, why didn't she say anything about it?"

"This, it was really the Empress Dowager who said it. I don't dare to fake Chuan Yizhi. In the afternoon, the emperor went to see the Empress Dowager and reported his studies. The Empress Dowager explained it face to face."

"Really?" Du Wenhao thought for a while, Gao Taotao was very angry when he was talking about the repeated defeats with Daliao and Xixia just now, and in a fit of anger, he probably forgot about it.Quickly said: "Since the empress dowager gave the instructions, it is natural to follow them. What subjects does the emperor study?"

"Four books and five classics, court etiquette and so on."

"Oh, but it's getting late now, why don't we talk about it tomorrow... General I will go to see the emperor tomorrow morning, and I will invite the other two teachers to discuss together..."

The other servant next to him hurriedly said: "General, I'm afraid it won't work tomorrow morning."

"why?"

"Tomorrow morning you will have a political discussion in the Zhengshitang. This is the official letter from the prime minister's office." The servant held a letter in both hands, and handed it to Du Wenhao.

"Oh?" Du Wenhao took it, tore it open, took out a piece of paper, and unfolded it, but it turned out to be a meeting notice, informing him that he would discuss important military and political affairs in the meeting hall of the prime minister's yamen at Chen's tomorrow morning.

It was the first time that Du Wenhao received such a meeting notice, and he was very curious and even more happy. Tomorrow morning, he will participate in the first military and political affairs discussion and perform his duties as governor, so he can't help feeling very happy.Said: "There will be a meeting tomorrow morning to discuss important military and political affairs. This can't be delayed, or how about pushing it until tomorrow afternoon? Or the day after tomorrow?"

The servant said with a smile: "General, I'm afraid I can't wait. I heard that when the emperor was a prince, he was lazy and didn't study and went out to play for a while. When he came back, the empress dowager found out and hit the emperor's palm with a ruler. Well. So the emperor was afraid of delaying his studies, so he asked the younger one to invite the general to discuss future teaching matters."

"Wouldn't it be better to let the former teacher teach him tomorrow? - No, in the morning, the Empress Dowager had replaced his original teachers, Lu Dian and Cai Bian. The new teachers Zhao Yanruo and Fu Yaoyu Although it has been decided, the division of labor has not yet been discussed, and it is not easy to attend classes.

He thought for a while, and said: "It's getting late, and it's not appropriate to call the two adults to discuss at this time. Well... how about it, you go back and report to the emperor, and ask him to review the homework he learned earlier tomorrow morning. Afternoon I want to take the exam, let's see how he has learned before. I will discuss the teaching situation with the two adults tomorrow."

The waiter hurriedly bowed and agreed.

Du Wenhao rewarded each of the two servants with a small piece of broken silver. The two servants were so overjoyed that they almost knelt down and kowtowed to thank them.

Du Wenhao happily left the palace in a sedan chair and returned to Wuweitang, his residence.

Too many things happened today, Du Wenhao couldn't get used to it, followed Xiaoqu into the yard, Yingzi asked curiously: "Master, what good thing is there to see you so happy?"

"Of course it's a good thing, a big good thing. Haha, hurry up, go and call Madam and a few grandmas, as well as Master Shen, Miss Ke, Money Not Accepted, Yan Miaoshou, and Hantou, to the main hall. Master, I have something to announce .”

"Exactly! Madam also has something good to tell you."

"Really? What's the matter?"

"I don't dare to talk too much, I'll let my wife tell you later. Hee hee."

"You little girl! Dare to play tricks with me, and see how I can treat you!" Du Wenhao reached out to hug her, but Yingzi dodged her with a hairy waist, and ran away with a smile.

Soon, the four wives of the Du family, aunt, Master Shen, Qian Bushou and others all came to the lobby.After taking their seats, they were very curious to see Du Wenhao in high spirits.

Du Wenhao coughed lightly, and said: "Everyone, this general was promoted again this morning! Hehe, the empress dowager has rewarded me with a position of inspection in all three offices. Participate in the handling of national border affairs and government affairs. Hehehe"

Du Wenhao was overjoyed, of course he couldn't be too proud, he just smiled and bowed his hands in return: "It's all the empress dowager's kindness, I'm ashamed."

Ke Yao smiled and said: "Brother, don't be modest, this person should have been your seat a long time ago. With your ability, you are completely qualified to be the governor!"

Du Wenhao hurriedly waved his hands and said: "Thank you for the prize! In addition to serving as the chief executive, the Empress Dowager also asked me to serve as a nominee for the Imperial Medical Bureau and be responsible for the related work of the Imperial Medical Bureau. Du Wenhao turned his head and refused to accept the money: "No, too. The Empress Dowager has already said that she will make you the judge (deputy director) of the Imperial Medical Bureau and ask you to help me reform the teaching system of the Imperial Medical Bureau.Are you interested? "

Qian didn't stop laughing, and bowed and said, "Of course I'm interested. Master has all kinds of magical skills, and he has taught many people all the way. If he can teach systematically in the Imperial Medical Bureau for a long time, it would be great. I will definitely help you with your heart." Master, run the Imperial Medical Bureau well."

"Yes! By the way, Qin'er, Fei'er, the Empress Dowager also said that you two will be appointed as medical officers of the Imperial Medical Bureau, and will be responsible for teaching women's subjects. Would you like to?"

Pang Yuqin and Xue Fei'er were both surprised and delighted. They looked at each other, and they both got up and gave a blessing. Pang Yuqin said: "Sister, we are naturally willing to help him teach women's science well."

"Well, then I will entrust you three with the important task of reforming the medical system of the Imperial Medical Bureau. In fact, just give them what we taught on the medical tour. By the way, the Empress Dowager also agreed. All the unclaimed corpses that have been executed have been sent to the Imperial Medical Bureau for the teaching of autopsy. The three of you have almost learned anatomy knowledge, so you should be able to do it."

Ke Yao said, "Who will take care of Wuweitang?"

Du Wenhao smiled: "Don't worry, just listen to my arrangement. I'm the butcher, and I won't accept. Qin'er and Fei'er are in the Imperial Medical Bureau. I'm afraid I don't have much time to manage the pharmacy. From now on, the Wuweitang pharmacy will be handed over to you and me." Hantou is managed by two people. In the past year, Miaoshou has followed me, and his medical skills have improved a lot, especially in the fields of bone trauma and gold creation. It’s also a lot of progress. You two are in charge of the Wuweitang. There is no problem. If you encounter difficult and miscellaneous diseases, just leave it to your master to deal with it. Wuweitang is our gold-lettered signboard, and we must manage it well!”

Yan Miaoshou and Hantou hurriedly got up and saluted and agreed.

Du Wenhao added: "In the future, the anesthetics, disinfectants, and surgical instruments used in surgical operations across the country will all be purchased from us. The Empress Dowager has promised to issue an imperial decree to protect our Wuweitang trademark and prevent others from counterfeiting it. So , in the future, Wuweitang will not only be a pharmacy, but also a pharmaceutical company. Sister Qingdai will be responsible for the production of medicines, equipment, sales and other related matters. Ke Yao, you will help from the side. Is that okay?"

Lin Qingdai and Ke Yao glanced at each other, both smiled and nodded, stood up and Fuli agreed.

Lin Qingdai asked: "Should we buy another house for the production of pharmaceutical equipment?"

Du Wenhao smiled and said: "No need, just produce and store here."

Lin Qingdai wondered: "Our house is not too small, but if all the medicines and equipment in the country are produced from us, it will be a bit troublesome. Of course, if the whole house is used for this, it will be enough, but We have to move out where we live."

"Yes, let's move out. This place is only used to see doctors and produce medical equipment."

Everyone was surprised when they heard this. Ke Yao spoke quickly and asked, "Brother, where are we going to move? Are we going to buy a new house? Speaking of which, I won't go to that ghost house!"

"Who told you to go to that ghost house?" Du Wenhao laughed, "We have a place, the Empress Dowager said that I made a small contribution a while ago, so she gave me a new mansion as a reward, just Behind the palace, between Tianbo Yang's mansion and Prime Minister Wang Gui's family, the mansion has almost been repaired. I heard that it is not bad. The empress dowager said, let us take some time to take a look. If there is anything we don't like, we can repair it as soon as possible. So that you can live comfortably in the future.”

All the girls immediately cheered, women are like this, they are always full of novelty about moving to a new house.

Ke Yao said to Master Shen: "Hey! Master, do you know this mansion?"

Master Shen stroked his white beard and said with a smile: "Naturally, this mansion was originally Prince Yong's new mansion. I heard that it was almost finished, but I didn't expect it to be given to the general now."

Ke Yao said: "How big is this mansion? How is it compared to our Wuweitang mansion?"

"Hey, that's incomparable. Think about it, half of the street behind the palace is this mansion, and the other two sides are Tianbo Yang's mansion and the mansion of Prime Minister Wang. That is to say, the general's mansion. Tianbo Palace is so big in total. But I have never been inside, and I don’t know what it is like inside.”

Du Wenhao said with a smile: "Ke Yao, don't worry, tomorrow morning, you go with your sister-in-law and the others to have a look, don't you know? -Okay, I've finished my business, by the way, Qin'er, just now Yingzi said , you have a happy event to tell me, hey, our family has been having a lot of happy events these days, what's the matter?"

Pang Yuqin smiled and said: "In the afternoon, the wife of Prime Minister Wang came and said that the national funeral is over today, the ban on alcohol and wedding banquets has been lifted, and it is time to discuss the wedding date. I also think it is very right, we two After checking the almanac and discussing it, it will be set on the sixth day of the next month. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Du Wenhao's face became a little hot, and he took a peek at the wives, seeing that they were all looking at him with half-smiles, he was even more embarrassed, and said embarrassingly: "This matter, everything is up to the wives. .”

Du Wenhao shook his head, now is not the time for love, there are too many things to deal with.He looked at Lin Qingdai, smiled and said, "Sister Qingdai, there is one more thing to trouble you."

Lin Qingdai smiled: "Good things are okay, but bad things are avoided."

Everyone laughed.Du Wenhao said: "It's not a good thing or a bad thing, but a hard job."

"A hard job? All right, I'm not afraid of hard work."

"That's good,—teach me how to practice the sword."

Lin Qingdai wondered: "Practicing swords? You are a general. You can sit in the army tent and plan strategies. You don't need to kill the enemy and charge into battle. What do you do with swords?"

Ke Yao who was on the side interjected, "Of course it's for self-defense——no, brother, your guards are here to protect you, so why are you defending yourself?"

"Prevent you!" Du Wenhao teased, "Prevent you from biting me in a hurry! Hehe"

"Okay, you dare to call me a puppy, hum! Just wait and see!"

Du Wenhao chuckled, and said, "I'm inspecting the three offices, and the three offices manage and train the army. I'm a general who trains soldiers, not a leader who fights. I go to train soldiers. I'm free. The booing let me show my hands, I can only stretch my muscles and bones, I can't use this ability. Then it's too embarrassing, practice a few times of swordsmanship, it will be majestic."

Lin Qingdai smiled and said: "That's it, that's fine, you have to learn, I'll teach you, but the soldiers are more likely to let you show the general's horseback riding and archery skills, you have to practice in this respect .”

"Okay, you can teach me together!"

"I'm not good at sword and horse kung fu, you have to find another master."

"Then... let's forget about this first. If you don't have that much time, let's practice the sword first. Remember to call me when you practice every morning."

"Okay."

Ke Yao interjected again: "Brother, as a general, you must know the art of war, right? Why don't you find a teacher to teach you the art of war?"

Du Wenhao had thought about this problem a long time ago, but the art of war cannot be learned in a day or two. Alright, the matter is over, Master Shen, please stay, and everyone else should leave."

Everyone bid farewell and went out, Lian'er walked last and closed the hall door.

Du Wenhao took out the letter from the prime minister's yamen from his bosom, handed it to Master Shen and said: "Master, please help me find out what this thing means."

Master Shen had previously assisted two prime ministers, so he was no stranger to this official document. He glanced at it, bowed his hands and said, "General, this is an official document for the prime minister's yamen to discuss important military and political affairs."

"I know that. I'm asking you, do they post this in every meeting?"
