"Surgery? What does that mean?"
When the emperor heard this new word, he asked Tao Yuanzheng.
"In reply to the Emperor, Master did not say anything, he just asked me to go there and learn the surgery.
Although Master didn't say it, I have a daring guess. It might be to perform surgery on someone and then bring them back to life."
Judging from the literal meaning, he boldly guessed that this was what it meant.
"Surgery? He can still survive? Are you kidding me?"
The emperor was shocked when he heard this bold guess. How could the director of the court have such an absurd idea?
“So I want to verify whether this is the case.
I implore the Emperor to allow me to live in Taizhou and learn surgery!"
Tao Yuanzheng pleaded with the emperor again.
"Okay! You will go to Taizhou with the imperial edict.
I'll give you six months to learn that surgery and bring Divine Doctor Gao to the capital. I want to see who she is that would make you, my dear, throw aside your pride and become her disciple."
The emperor was actually very interested in surgery. If it was true as the director guessed, that a person could be cut open and still alive, it would be a great feat in the medical world and a major political achievement during his reign. It would be recorded in history and his name would be passed down through the ages.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! I will take my leave now!"
Having gotten what he wanted, Tao Yuanzheng's heart was soaring, he was so happy that he couldn't hide it.
"Back off!"
The emperor waved his hand and asked him to leave the imperial study.
Tao Yuanzheng left the Imperial Academy and went to the Imperial Hospital. He had to arrange the affairs of the Imperial Hospital before leaving.
The next day, at the morning court, the emperor conferred the title of County Princess on Gao Zhijun and gave her many rewards. He asked the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of Revenue to prepare them and sent the Crown Prince and Eunuch Wang to Taizhou to read the imperial edict.
Although many ministers in the court felt that the emperor was making a fuss out of nothing and giving too much reward.
They didn't dare to say it out loud, that person was a miracle doctor.
People eat all kinds of grains, so it is inevitable that they will get sick. No matter who you offend, you must not offend the imperial physician or the doctor, let alone that person is a genius doctor with superb medical skills and unmatched.
What if you or your family members become seriously ill and need her treatment, and you offend her, will she still be able to heal you?
If they used harsh means to force her to see a doctor, there was no guarantee that she would not tamper with it and kill herself prematurely. They knew nothing about medicine.
The ministers all understood this and they all remained silent.
Neither the Ministry of Revenue nor the Ministry of Rites dared to delay and worked day and night to prepare the reward that the emperor would give to Dr. Gao. Finally, it took five days to get everything ready.
Tao Yuanzheng also arranged the affairs of the Imperial Hospital and set off for Taizhou with the Crown Prince and Eunuch Wang.
Eunuch Wang is the adopted son of Eunuch Zhang and is also the chief eunuch in charge of the imperial palace.
When Eunuch Zhang became the emperor's personal steward, he promoted his adopted son to be the chief eunuch.
Taizhou Prefecture at this moment.
The wasteland has been reclaimed and the villagers' houses have been built. Only the courtyards of the Huo family, the Sun family and Gao Zhijun are still under construction.
The soap and pharmaceutical workshops were nearing completion, and the college was almost finished.
All the land that the people of Taizhou helped to reclaim belonged to Gao Zhijun, and only the land that the villagers reclaimed themselves was theirs.
Seeing so much land, Gao Zhijun later gave two acres of wasteland to each household in the village.
Therefore, the villager with the least land in Huojia Village has seven mu, and the village chief has the most, with fifteen mu.
In Huojia Village, one household had seven mu (approximately 1,000 acres), including Huo Tiedan's. Ten households had eight mu (approximately 10 acres), twenty households had nine mu (approximately 10 acres), fifty households had ten mu (approximately 11 acres), eleven households had eleven mu (approximately 10 acres), ten households had twelve mu (approximately 12 acres), forty-five households had thirteen mu (approximately 13 acres), and one household, the village head, had fifteen mu (approximately 1,608 acres). Altogether, the villagers of Huojia Village were allocated 1,608 mu (approximately 1,000 acres) of wasteland.
Gao Zhijun gave the Sun family one hundred acres of wasteland, and the Huo family another hundred acres. The villagers used one hundred and thirty-eight acres to build houses, a plot Gao Zhijun had planned. These were divided into large houses, middle houses, and courtyards, based on population size. Those with smaller families received houses of equal size, while those with larger families were assigned middle houses with courtyards of equal size. Those with the largest populations, such as the village head and Zhang the Hunter, were assigned large houses. This approach offered the advantage of preventing villagers from accusing Gao Zhijun of unfairness and allowing her to collect payments uniformly.
The Huo family's yard would take up three mu, the Sun family's yard would also take up three mu. Gao Zhijun's yard would take up five mu, a decision she had carefully considered. Her business would grow, and she would definitely hire or buy a lot of people, so she needed a large place to live.
The soap workshop used five acres of land, but the medicine workshop used eight acres of land because she wanted to make many kinds of pills.
The academy only occupied three acres of land and was not very large, and only provided education for children from the village.
The remaining wasteland belongs to Gao Zhijun. She is now a landlord, owning 18,119 acres of land.
This piece of wasteland is not 20,000 acres, but only 19,892 acres.
After registering the wasteland, Gao Zhijun planned to take it to the government office tomorrow to find Mr. Qian to register and officially settle down.
After unanimous decision, the village name was still Huojia Village.
The next day, Huo Jinhao drove a horse-drawn carriage to take Gao Zhijun and Huo Jinbai to see Master Qian. They gave Master Qian the village name, the area of wasteland reclaimed by the villagers, and the road pass, and they went to the clinic.
Gao Zhijun entered the clinic, greeted Master Wu, and then went in for a check-up.
The clinic is progressing very quickly and should be completed in two or three days.
Once Master Wu finishes making the Chinese medicine cabinet, we can open the business.
She came to the fourth entrance and looked at the operating room. It was decorated just as she had requested. The wall of the operating room was pried open, and she bought a glass mirror at a high price, which cost her three thousand taels.
With this glass mirror, the entire operating room became brighter.
Master Wu's craftsmanship is truly amazing and the work of a skilled craftsman is truly extraordinary.
