Chapter 1513 Beginning (Reward for the book friend "Yanwei who loves reading books")
One sentence ended everyone's topic.
Seeing that they had stopped arguing, Yin Huo shut up in satisfaction and continued riding his horse back leisurely.
The horses were pulled back to the stables of the East Palace. Everyone clapped their hands and went back to their rooms to wash and change clothes.
After changing their clothes, everyone gathered in the dining room to eat. Xu Yu knew that Zhou Man liked to eat with Bai Shan and the others, so he also sent the meal to the dining room.
There were not many people having dinner here. It seemed that the prince was leading his men to work in the Zhanshi Mansion in front. Except for Zhao Liulang and a few others, the prince's other close confidants were busy working in the front.
So the meals are also served in the front.
Bai Shan opened his lunch box, took a look at the dishes, and then turned to look at Manbao's.
Manbao's was richer than theirs, so having a high rank did bring some benefits in the palace. His food, clothing and housing were much better than theirs.
Manbao pushed the food box forward and waited until they had all taken their food before starting to eat.
Feng Zongping took the initiative to ask, "If you need any help while revising the book, please let me know."
He also heard the prince asking about the progress of the book revision today.
Manbao nodded repeatedly and said with a smile: "I won't be polite."
She really wasn't being polite, but she couldn't use them right now because they hadn't even written an outline.
However, after Manbao finished his meal, he took out his pen, ink, paper and inkstone and started thinking about this matter.
She had been very busy these past two days. After breakfast in the morning, she went to Chongwenguan to read the medical classics she found in the library. After seeing the Crown Princess at noon, she went to teach Zheng Gu and others how to use acupuncture. After she had acupunctured twenty people and checked their homework, she returned to her room to read the books she bought from the encyclopedia. In the evening, she mostly read books from the encyclopedia.
Through her conversations with Xiao Yuanzheng and the others, she already had some ideas. When the prince pressed her today, she simply wrote down these ideas and polished them, intending to take them to Xiao Yuanzheng and the others to discuss early the next morning.
Manbao buried his head in writing, and lit the candles when it got dark.
Xu Yu brought the tea stove over and asked in a low voice, "Sir, should I prepare some midnight snack for you?"
Manbao refused and said with a smile: "You go and rest, put the teapot, I can do it myself."
Xu Yu bowed and retreated.
After she left, Manbao closed the door and continued to write her outline by candlelight. She felt hungry while writing, so she took out the last meat pie from the system, put it on the stove to bake, and then ate it.
Although it is a secondary process, the meat patties here are really delicious.
After eating and drinking, Manbao felt more energetic. When she wrote down what she was thinking, she looked up and saw that it was already the second watch outside. The wind blew in through the window that was not closed tightly. Manbao shook her neck, put away her things, closed the window and went to sleep.
Because he went to bed a little late, Manbao was unable to get up when he heard the knock on the door the next day.
She forced herself to open her eyes and open the door for Xu Yu, and only came to her senses after splashing water on her face.
Xu Yuxiao asked, "How late did you stay up last night before going to bed?"
"It's not that late," Manbao said, "I went to bed after the second watch and almost the third."
Xu Yu was shocked. "It's not too late yet. Don't stay up like this next time, sir. I heard that children won't grow tall if they don't sleep well."
Manbao paused, and his round eyes widened even wider.
Xu Yu immediately realized that he had said the wrong thing and quickly said, "But Master Zhou, you are tall enough now. When I was your age, I was not as tall as you."
Manbao looked at Xu Yu's stature and felt a little sad.
She nodded and said, "You're right. I must go to bed early next time and never stay up late again."
Xu Yu smiled and didn't take it seriously.
Manbao put down her handkerchief and sat down in front of the dressing table to comb her hair. After she had dressed herself up, she took the manuscript she had written last night out of the drawer and put it in the book basket.
Xu Yu bowed and went out, then brought in breakfast for her.
After breakfast, Manbao took his book basket and went to the library of Chongwenguan.
It was still early, not to mention Xiao Yuanzheng and the other two, even the other officials in Chongwenguan had not arrived yet.
This is the advantage of living in the palace. It saves a lot of time on the road. Manbao doesn't have to get up very early and can arrive before everyone else.
Manbao sat down in his seat, took things out of the book basket, and continued his work from last night.
By the time Xiao Yuanzheng finished dealing with the affairs of the Imperial Hospital and came over, it was already 9:00 PM.
The pattern of the people in the palace seeking the imperial physician is exactly the opposite of that of the people outside. People outside prefer to see the doctor in the morning, and there are few patients in the afternoon.
The palace just happened to like to look for imperial physicians in the afternoon and evening, and there was basically nothing to do in the morning, so Xiao Yuanzheng could bring Imperial Physician Liu and Imperial Physician Zheng to Chongwenguan every morning to read books, oh no, to look for information.
As soon as they entered Chongwen Hall, Xiao Yuanzheng opened the medical manual he had been reading halfway through yesterday and continued reading. Manbao coughed lightly, successfully attracting the attention of the three people and said, "Yesterday, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince asked me how our book revision was going."
Imperial Physician Liu and Imperial Physician Zheng were silent for a moment, then turned to look at Dean Xiao.
When the sky falls, there is always someone tall to hold it up, and at this moment Xiao Yuanzheng is that tall person.
Man Bao also looked at Xiao Yuanzheng, handed him the manuscript in his hand, and said with a light cough, "The book needs to be read, but it also needs to be revised. The Crown Prince said that he has planned to carve out a space behind the Imperial Hospital to be used specifically for teaching in the medical department, so we need to hurry up and prepare the medical books for teaching."
This was the news that the Crown Prince, the person in charge, personally revealed to Manbao. Xiao Yuanzheng still knows nothing about it.
He glanced at Manbao, who had thrown two big thunders without knowing it, as if he was facing a great enemy. Zhou Man was so blessed, could he really be better than her and take control of the reorganized Imperial Medical Bureau just because she was a woman?
Seeing him staring at her in a daze, Manbao stretched out her hand and waved it in front of his eyes, asking, "What are you thinking about?"
Xiao Yuanzheng came back to his senses and calmly lowered his head to take the information from her hand. "Nothing, from what Master Zhou said, have you already thought about how to revise this book?"
Man Bao said, "Didn't you say before that medicine is difficult to learn and that it would take at least fifteen years to fully master it? So you suggested dividing it into different subjects. I think what you said makes sense, and this is what I plan to divide it into."
The Imperial Medical Bureau of the previous dynasty also divided students into different subjects, but the division was not very detailed. Manbao felt that they could divide them more finely on this basis.
Some of these refer to future medical developments. Of course, this cannot be told to Xiao Yuanzheng and the others. You can't say that she learned it from books in the encyclopedia, right?
Fortunately, because there was a precedent, although the division was quite detailed, Xiao Yuanzheng and the others were able to accept it quickly.
The three looked at the subject divisions written by Manbao, discussed it for a while, and nodded, "That's fine. In this case, we have to study the books separately. This requires a lot of textbooks."
Man Bao said, "I can revise the acupuncture and moxibustion section independently. For the other sections, I think we can ask a few more imperial physicians to help, or even ask folk doctors to help. Let's first list the outlines needed for each section. If we follow the outlines, there won't be many mistakes."
See you tomorrow
