Chapter 1556 Retention Value
Knowledge can only progress through communication and only have value through circulation.
At this moment, Manbao was thinking exactly what Keke was thinking. Teacher Mo was right, knowledge is only valuable if it is circulated. Look, she has only circulated it a little and she is about to get two places.
Teacher Mo, who didn't know she was so popular: ...
However, if knowledge could be circulated in such a simple way, this era would surely usher in a knowledge explosion.
But it is obviously impossible, because even the beneficiaries like Xiao Yuanzheng feel that Zhou Man's exchange is a betrayal of her father and ancestors.
How much of a spendthrift would one have to be to exchange such a good thing for two spots?
They felt sorry in their hearts, but they didn't know what Manbao was thinking.
The four of them looked at the recipe that Manbao was holding. Xiao Yuan was thinking that he couldn't let the child down, so he suppressed his desire and said to Manbao with a heartache, "There's no rush. You can take the recipe first. We'll discuss it later."
Manbao was stunned. How could that be possible? She was still waiting for them to help her think about it.
So he said to Manbao righteously: "No, once the words are spoken, they can be taken away. Since I said I would show you, I must show you."
Now even Imperial Physician Lu and the others felt that this child was a real spendthrift. They felt even more embarrassed and suppressed their inner desire. They and Xiao Yuanzheng advised her, "Forget it, let's wait until we come to a conclusion."
Of course, Manbao couldn't agree to this, so he slapped the recipe in front of them and said, "It's settled. You better remember this. When I'm given a spot, this recipe will count towards my spot."
Xiao Yuanzheng and the other three: ...They haven't confirmed whether to give us a place yet.
However, the four of them couldn't help but look at the prescription. Doctor Liu, who sat closest to the prescription, spotted the first two words and asked in confusion, "Watermelon?"
Manbao nodded. "Watermelon frost is said to be a very good powder, but it's not very easy to make."
The four imperial physicians couldn't help but lean forward and discuss the prescription together. "Is this a powder? It doesn't look like one."
"What are nitrates?"
"What is Glauber's Salt?" Doctor Fang also frowned. "I don't recognize many of the things here."
Manbao pointed to the front row and said, "I know watermelon!"
Four people: ...They recognized it too!
Manbao said, "I've eaten watermelon in the East Palace. It's delicious."
Xiao Yuanzheng frowned, looking at the recipe and said, "It says to fill the watermelon with Glauber's salt, and then a white frost will form on the watermelon skin. This white frost is watermelon frost. But putting aside how rare watermelon is, we don't even recognize nitrates, let alone Glauber's salt."
Why did Manbao, who also didn't know the recipe, take out the recipe? Of course, he wanted them to discuss it.
Doctor Fang couldn't help but wonder, "Is this prescription really that effective?"
"Of course, I never tell lies."
Everyone just listened to it and didn't take it to heart. If she didn't lie, there would be few people in the Imperial Hospital who would brag.
Although he was skeptical, Xiao Yuanzheng still accepted the prescription and said to Manbao, "First, we need to know what nitrate is."
Manbao patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I'll find a book or think about it, I'm sure I can figure it out."
"Do you want us to help you find it?"
"No, no, I can do it myself." Manbao declined them and yawned. He felt a little sleepy after eating. After the first yawn, he couldn't help but yawn twice in a row, and his eyes almost squinted.
Manbao said, "I have to go to sleep for a while. I didn't take a nap today."
The four imperial doctors in the palace had to stay up all night whenever something happened to the emperor, empress, queen mother and prince. They were already accustomed to staying up all night to guard the bed for several days in a row. They were not used to hearing someone who had just missed his nap suddenly come and complain of being sleepy.
Xiao Yuanzheng thought for a moment and said, "Go ahead. We'll keep an eye on this place and call you if anything happens."
Manbao agreed, turned around and yawned as he walked around the screen. There was a small couch behind it. Manbao lay down on it while yawning, but he was still worried about nitrates. Before going to bed, he immersed his consciousness into the system and sent an email to Teacher Mo, asking what nitrates were.
Before, she was so busy studying the patch and listening to Teacher Mo say how useful the powder was that she didn't have time to study it further.
When she was about to copy the prescription, Teacher Mo had already left the teaching room, and she realized that she seemed to know the two medicines, but also seemed not to know them.
Nitrate, that's what it sounds like: salt.
At this time, Xiao Yuanzheng also said the same thing to Liu Taiyi and the other two. He said, "Could it be that this nitrate is an extremely good salt?"
Anyway, the watermelon looks very expensive, so it is not impossible to get an even more expensive one.
Doctor Liu said, "If that's the case, then this medicine is of little use. Who else can afford it except you, the noble?"
Xiao Yuanzheng didn't nod. Who says it wouldn't be useful if it was only given to a noble? Look at the person lying in the main hall. If there was a magic medicine that could save him, the royal family and the court would definitely save him at all costs.
Some medicines are suitable for ordinary people, but some medicines are indeed only suitable for nobles. Let alone the few life-saving decoctions in the Imperial Hospital, can ordinary people afford them?
The medicinal materials used are all precious.
Does this mean those ingredients are no longer important?
How is that possible? Otherwise, the Imperial Hospital wouldn't have kept the collection.
Xiao Yuanzheng thought for a moment and then said, "Forget it. Let's put this matter aside for now. We can discuss it after Your Majesty has overcome this difficulty."
The three of them then remembered that the emperor was still lying in the main hall next door, so they sat down and continued to eat sadly.
Manbao, who was lying on the couch behind a screen, had fallen asleep and had no idea that Teacher Mo had come online just as she was coming to consciousness.
Teacher Mo was reading a book in the classroom. Seeing that Manbao had not come online for a long time, he couldn't help but check the time.
Half past six, doesn't she usually have dinner and play for a while before going to online class at this time?
God knows how many wonderful dates he has turned down in order to adapt to her schedule, and now he is offline again?
Teacher Mo sighed and waited for another hour while reading a book. Seeing that she had no intention of coming online, he left.
Forget it, I might as well go out for a walk. It’s the time when the evening starts to get lively.
At this time, the palace gates were locked and everything was quiet.
Wei Zhi discussed with Duke Zhao and others and decided to leave two people to guard the Daming Palace in case of any accidents, while the others left the palace first.
It is impossible for all the important ministers in the court to stay here. They still have to deal with state affairs tomorrow, so they take turns coming.
Finally, it was decided that Wei Zhi and Duke Zhao would stay behind tonight, while Minister Li and Lord Tang would leave the palace.
This on-duty staff is very particular.
The next update will be around 4:00 PM
