Farmer’s Little Girl

  Chapter 3105 Discussion

  When the prince’s letter arrived in Beihai County, it was almost Chinese New Year. Bai Shan sent the castrated and energetic piglets to various Guantian Zhuangzi.

Zhou Man’s belly is a bit bigger. Because of the cold weather, she wears a lot. The whole person looks round and round, and her small face doesn’t change much. So when her head and body are big, Bai Shan looks very worried. For fear that she was tired, all the pregnant women he had seen had gained weight all over.

  So he helped her to share the worries within his own ability, and as soon as the prince's letter arrived, he went to read it together.

In the letter, the prince told Zhou Man very frankly that opening a medicine workshop outside the Imperial Medical Office was a common intention of his majesty and him.

  Because he thought Zhou Man was his confidant, he told her bluntly, “With such a sharp weapon, the royal family will hold one, and give it all to outsiders. How can you feel at ease?”

   is like an army. The emperor must have a core team in his hands.

  The same is true for this important drug.

Zhou Man handed the letter to Bai Shan, thinking: "If the royal family has a pharmacy to produce uniformly, then our imperial medical office will definitely not be able to compete with them only by relying on the scattered production of local medical offices, so our imperial medical office should also build a medicine. Fang."

  Bai Shan: "...Don't you want to take this opportunity to mention to your Highness about doing charity?"

   Zhou Man tangled for a moment and said: "Forget it, let Mingda mention this. In order not to make Xiao Yuan Zhengtai angry, I think I should also seek benefits for the Imperial Medical Office."

   was talking, Da Ji took a letter from outside and came in and said: "Lord, lady, the post has sent a letter."

  Bai Shan reached out and took it, and asked, "Whose's?"

   "Lady."

   Zhou Man shrank his neck as soon as he saw the handwriting on the envelope, and said in a low voice, "It was written by Xiao Yuanzheng."

  Bai Shan opened it up for her and said with a grin: "Don't be afraid, Xiao Yuan is not here, he will scold you at most."

Xiao Yuanzheng did not know whether he heard the wind, or guessed that the prince was looking for Zhou Man for prescriptions, and wrote a letter to Zhou Man. From the difficulty of establishing the Imperial Medical Department to the difficulty in the future development of the Imperial Medical Department, he wrote eloquently. Two pieces of paper, before the final point, talked about the royal family's desire to build a medicine workshop.

He said: "Several scholars have said that the department has a full-time job, and the medical department should be in charge of the medical affairs. Although penicillin and medicine are important, this principle should not be violated. Otherwise, what is the use of the court and the department. What's the use?"

He added: "The Imperial Medical Office has always been regarded as a private member of His Majesty, like the Imperial Hospital, rather than a court department. If this powerful medicine is handed over to the royal family, wouldn't it be even more difficult to get rid of this understanding? I don't know when. The Imperial Medical Office can only be recognized by..."

"In addition, there is also the problem of the efficacy of patent medicine," Xiao Yuanzheng said: "You and I know that a prescription for a medicine is not only the quality and quantity of the medicinal materials used, but the technique is also extremely critical. The slightest difference makes the efficacy of the medicine absurd. For thousands of miles, a good medicine can be a poison. The imperial physician’s office will make the medicine. At any rate, the students who make the medicine are all students who have undergone formal studies. There is a guarantee that if they are handed over to the royal family, one step is wrong, and if they can’t detect it, it will be harmful. …"

   Zhou Man thought, Bai Shan also thought, and after a while, he said, "What Xiao Yuan is talking about is also reasonable."

   Zhou Man looked up at him.

  Bai Shan smiled and said, "So it's time to cycle."

  He placed the teapot on the table between his and Zhou Man’s teacups, moved the two teacups, and clicked the teapot and said, “There should be a supervision department to inspect the medicines produced.”

  Zhou Man’s eyes lit up and said: "Yeah," he lit two tea cups and said: "Not only the royal pharmacy, but also the pharmacy of our imperial medical office, and even the proprietary medicines sold in private pharmacies..."

  Bai Shan: "...This seems to conflict with the function of the county government."

   Zhou Man looked up at him again.

   "Well, it's not necessarily. You have a shortage of staff in the Imperial Medical Department. Not to mention the manpower, it may take no less than ten years to specify the rules and regulations. Let's take it slow."

  What happened ten years later, I will talk about it ten years later. He will definitely not be the county magistrate at that time. At this time, Zhou Man can't bear the anger.

   Zhou Man put the two letters side by side on the desk, took a piece of white paper and spread it out, planning to write to Xiao Yuanzheng first.

   Then he wrote back to the prince.

  Bai Shan studied ink on the sidelines, watching her write as she said: "By the way, Lord Zhou, there is a post for you."

   Zhou Man asked without looking up, "What post?"

  "Our dock is about to open. Just the day after tomorrow, three ships will come to moor here. This is the vessel that Laizhou Wharf promised to give us the dock."

   Zhou Man raised his head in surprise, "Where did the sea boat come from?"

  "The farthest one is in Chaozhou, and there are two ships that came back from Jiangnan. They are all rushing back to celebrate the New Year. I heard that they brought back a lot of beautiful fabrics and porcelains. You will also have a look at that time?"

   Zhou Man didn’t care about these things, but was very interested in joining in the fun, and nodded repeatedly, "Then we have to go tomorrow?"

"Well, Guo Cishi and the others will come tomorrow too. When they arrive, we will go together." Bai Shan stretched out her hand to fix the strands of hair that had fallen from her forehead, and smiled: "You are heavy, and then you will be with Yin or them. Live in the princess’s other courtyard together."

   "Hey, what about you guys?"

   "We live in Longchi Haisi."

  That is actually a nickname, or Bai Shan sealed it by himself. In fact, it is the courtyard of several houses together. It is used by the officials and masters who built the docks, including Mr. Cui, and it is also their office space.

   Zhou Man nodded, because of this good thing, she couldn't help being more lively when she wrote to the prince.

  Waiting for the prince and Xiao Yuan to receive the letter, it is time for the imperial court to seal and prepare for the New Year.

  The letter was sent directly to the home and the East Palace, because it was Bai Shan's guard, so he didn't say that neither of them knew that they received the letter at the same time.

  As soon as Xiao Yuanzheng heard that it was Zhou Man’s reply, he did not take care of the doctors Liu and Lu who had come to give him New Year gifts, so they opened the letter immediately.

  Grand Doctor Liu knew that this was Zhou Man’s letter, so he couldn’t help putting down his teacup and looked at Xiao Yuanzheng with concern.

   Seeing his face gradually serious, and finally slowly closing the letters, he couldn't help but ask: "What's the matter, does Master Zhou disagree with our point of view?"

  Xiao Yuan was pressing down the letter in his hand, and did not speak for a while.

  The doctor Lu was anxious, "The hospital is in charge, you are saying, has Zhou Man already given the prescription to the prince?"

"Not yet,"

  The two talents wanted to breathe a sigh of relief, and listened to Xiao Yuan’s faceless expression: "It's not too soon, she said she has promised the prince."

  Emperor Liu and Dr. Lu: …Can you not pant when you speak?

  The two of them looked at each other and didn't speak for a while.

  　 See you at ten thirty in the evening
