Farmer’s Little Girl

   Chapter 1693

  Man Bao ran back to Chongwen Hall. Xiao Yuan was checking the list. Seeing that Zhou Man was so leisurely, he couldn’t help but bluntly and asked her, “Doctor Zhou, is your list ready?”

   "It's done." Man Bao turned over the list she had written and showed them to them.

  Everyone: ...It's so fast, it's obviously the same workload.

  Man Bao pressed the list on the table, dragged a chair and sat next to the busy Xiao Yuan, holding his face and grinning at him.

  Xiao Yuan was feeling cold. He was writing, but he turned and turned half of his body to avoid her gaze.

  Man Bao said diligently: "Xiao Yuanzheng, do you want me to write it for you?"

  Xiao Yuanzheng originally wanted to push the work he was doing to her, but seeing her doing this, he immediately shook his head and said that he was okay and didn't need her to help.

  Man Bao was also disappointed.

  She looked up and saw that everyone was watching her, consciously or unconsciously. She felt that this was not the place to talk, so she said to Xiao Yuanzheng, "Xiao Yuanzheng, should we go out and talk?"

  Xiao Yuanzheng said with a serious and fair expression: "I have something to say here, we have nothing to say to others."

   "That said, but the matter is still undecided, I don't want too many people to listen," Man Bao lowered his voice and whispered, "I just came back from the empress."

  Xiao Yuan wanted to keep his integrity, but he really wanted to know what Zhou Man had done with the queen again.

   Tangled for a while, he still sighed and put down the pen, got up and went out with her.

  So it’s really not a good thing to have a subordinate who is similar to his youngest daughter and granddaughter, especially this subordinate is very popular with his immediate superiors, and it is even more annoying that many things can go beyond him to discuss with the top superiors.

  He went outside with Manbao, sighed and asked, "Let’s talk, what's the matter."

  Man Bao told Xiao Yuanzheng about the matters that the queen had discussed with her, and she said: "Aren't the medicines listed in the household department not approved?"

  Xiao Yuanzheng: "They feel that using such expensive medicines for teaching students is violent. Even if I said that these medicines can be used repeatedly for teaching, they would not agree to buy them."

  Man Bao: "So we have to have a small vault in the Imperial Medical Department, so that we can buy the slips that are not approved by the Ministry of Household."

  Xiao Yuan's eyebrows moved, "Are you talking about getting money from those adults?"

  Man Bao nodded, "They want a private doctor, so we can train them, and just give them money."

  Xiao Yuan frowned and said, "Doesn’t the skills be passed on in this way?"

"Oh, when is this, do you still think that the skills will not be passed on?" Man Bao said, "Don't forget, there are doctors in the Imperial Medical Office. They have to go back to their own country and Of the tribe, are you afraid that the people sent by the family will learn the art of medicine?"

  Xiao Yuan was thinking about it. Obviously, he couldn't stop it. At most, he left his own housekeeping skills and didn't teach others.

  Man Bao is still here, let's talk, "...I think your husband is right, you just care too much about the housekeeping ability, like me, I don't care."

  Xiao Yuan raised his eyelids to look at her, and gave a barely audible grunt.

Without realizing it, Man Bao continued: "This is like the fire in ancient life. The first person knows the benefits of fire. If he hides it and doesn't tell anyone, what's the use of him if he knows it alone? He could only wait for the fire to save the fire, but he told others that after many people knew, when the fire went out one day, someone came up with a way to make fire by drilling wood..."

Xiao Yuan is completely unable to understand what Zhou Man is talking about, so she can only watch her mouth open and close in a daze. , Then he may only have this method in his entire life. Once he dies, no one knows this method. I don't know how many years it will take a second person to figure out this method."

"But he told others that this method can be passed down, and then the next person will find flint and steel at any time. It is because of these ancestors one after another, we now have flint and fire that can be used at any time. Zhezi.” Man Bao finally finished the preparation, and then gave the result, “So this medical technique is the same. We can teach each other and teach powerful disciples. They will not have to think about studying the former and staying in the future. We can also think about delving into the heights we haven't reached, one by one, and one generation on top of each other, and we will always delve into medical techniques that are more powerful than we are now."

  This is what she thought about after briefly studying the history of medical development with Teacher Mo recently. She was puzzled before, why was the medical skills of Teacher Mo so good in their time?

  Before, she had only studied the history of the development and evolution of ancient Chinese medicine. This was the first time she had contact with the history of the development of general medicine, and she knew that they were still too narrow-minded.

  The narrow Xiaoyuan was unable to understand Man Bao's words, and asked confusedly, "What is the sky fire? What is the fire?"

  Man Bao: "...Have you never read history books? It is said that the first time ancient humans learned to use fire was because of sky fire."

  Xiao Yuanzheng: "...I'm not a historian, why should I learn such ancient history as a doctor? And which history book is this written in, why haven't I heard of it?"

  Man Bao scratched her head. Could it be that she has mixed her memory, mixing the history books produced by the Encyclopedia with the history books of this world?

  She definitely does not admit it!

  Man Baodao: "I don't remember, anyway, there is. No, this is not a problem. Shouldn't you think about whether what I said makes sense?"

  Xiao Yuan was waving his hand directly, "Okay, we are talking about collecting money. It has nothing to do with this matter. You said you want to give ten places to those noble families and dignitaries?"

  Well, Man Bao can only help to turn the topic and think about the most important thing at the moment. She nodded and said: "Yes, all the money earned is put in the Imperial Medical Office."

  Xiao Yuan asked, "How do I collect this money?"

  Man Bao and him stared at each other, Man Bao had no experience, and of course Xiao Yuanzheng did not.

  The two stared at each other for a while, and then Man Bao opened his mouth, "One hundred taels a year!"

  Xiao Yuanzheng: "...What are you dreaming of? Who is willing to spend so much money to train a subordinate?"

  Man Bao: "Then how much do you say?"

  Xiao Yuan was touching his beard and said: "Half, fifty taels?"

  That's a lot. You can buy a lot of medicinal materials.

  Man Bao frowned and said, "How many years have you studied?"

  If it were eight years, four hundred taels would be enough for a wealthy family of five to spend a lifetime, which seems to be quite a lot.

  Xiao Yuanzheng is also thinking, "They want women doctors. They should want to specialize in women’s diseases. Most of them will be taught by you at that time, so how many years do you want to teach?"
