Chapter 1628 Not Qualified
Nothing in this world passes faster than time. Before Manbao finished checking the "Acupuncture", the day off arrived.
Then they happily left the palace and went home for vacation.
As soon as he got home, Manbao couldn't help being lazy, so he handed a medical book he had checked to Bai Shan and said, "Please help me check for typos."
Bai Shan was not very happy about it. He had a lot of schoolwork, and he also had plans with his friends to go out and play.
"Yin Huo's 'illness' should be healed. We were planning to go see him. Don't these medical books belong to you? Why don't you give them to your students to check?" Bai Shan said, "Not only can they check for typos, but they can also check for other errors and omissions. Aren't you always teaching them acupuncture?"
Bai Erlang didn't want them to waste their precious holiday at home, so he encouraged them, "That's right. They've had all the palace eunuchs and maids pricked on them. I heard even the guards are going to them for acupuncture. They should have learned it, right?"
Manbao stroked his chin and thought for a while, then immediately turned around to pack up his things and took two of the three medical books she had written. "Let's go find them."
Bai Shan ran back to get her a veil and said, "Wait a moment, we'll go out and play."
It was a rare occasion when his daughter had a day off, and when Old Zhou came over, wanting to spend some time with her, Manbao and the others had already disappeared.
Zheng Gu and Dr. Liu are both studying in Jishiditang. They now go to the East Palace every morning. Sometimes there is no problem and they can solve the disease themselves. Sometimes there is a problem and Manbao will occasionally go there.
If he goes there, he will answer their questions. If he doesn't, the problems will accumulate. Basically, unless there is a special situation, Manbao will go to the side hall.
Anyway, they are all in the East Palace, not too far away. It only takes a quarter of an hour to walk there, so just think of it as a stroll.
When Manbao arrived, Zheng Gu and Dr. Liu were both treating patients in Manbao's clinic. They had just sent away a patient and there was no one else.
Compared with other doctors' busy clinics, theirs were very deserted.
Manbao poked his head out to look for a while and asked, "I see there's nothing wrong with the pulse diagnosis you wrote. Why do so few people come to see you?"
Doctor Liu was so ashamed that she almost bowed her head to the ground. Zheng Gu blushed slightly and explained in a low voice, "They think the prescription we prescribed is not that good."
Manbao flipped through their pulse records and prescriptions while saying, "It's true that they can't compare. Even now, I wouldn't dare say that my prescriptions are better than those of Doctor Ding and the others. Just take your time."
Manbao said: "You can make up for it in other aspects if you can't compare with others. For example, Sanniang, you are a woman, and there will definitely be female patients who prefer to choose you for treatment."
Doctor Liu looked at Zheng Gu with a face full of resentment.
Zheng Gu: ...
He hesitated and said, "Then I should go out more often in the future? And leave the clinic to you alone?"
Man Bao said, "You're so stupid. Just take turns. Besides, you have your strengths now. You basically have to go to the palace every day to learn acupuncture. Why not keep it? For the same price, you also give acupuncture for free. Once or twice, it's fine. But if you do it more often, your reputation will spread and people will be willing to come to you for treatment."
Although he was a small person, he pretended to be serious and said, "You are still young now. It's time to learn skills, so don't think about making money. Acupuncture costs needles and manpower, not money, so you can do as much as you want."
Zheng Gu and Dr. Liu: ...
The two looked at each other and nodded silently in agreement.
Manbao took the pen and the prescription, and wrote a new prescription based on their pulse records. "You can compare it and see that there is actually nothing wrong with the prescription you wrote. If you want to improve, you have to learn to figure it out on your own."
"But this isn't the most important thing right now. The most important thing is for you to help me check these two medical manuals for any errors or omissions.
The two were shocked when they saw the big words "Acupuncture" on the medical manual. "Master, can we check this?"
"Why not? You've already learned everything here. If you have any questions, that's even better. Just write them down and I'll explain them to you later. Also, check for typos, as we'll print them later."
Acupuncture also starts with the most basic medical knowledge. The first year is basically spent learning acupoints and some basic medical knowledge, and then learning specific acupuncture methods.
If Zheng Gu and Dr. Liu don’t know these basic things, they have to learn them again.
Manbao handed over the important task, and then happily went out to play with Bai Shan and the others.
The weather is gradually getting less hot. Although several cities near the capital have suffered from drought this year, it has not affected the streets and there are still many vendors and tourists.
Several people made an appointment to meet in the bookstore. Yin Huo had been on sick leave at home, so he had nothing to do and waited in the bookstore early in the morning.
He had already read half of the book when Manbao and the others arrived.
He vaguely heard their voices, so he put the book back on the bookshelf and went out with Changshou.
Manbao carefully looked at his face and said regretfully, "You took sick leave, but you didn't seem to gain weight. Didn't you eat anything delicious in the past eight days?"
Yin Huo: "...No, on the contrary, I'm a little uncomfortable because I suddenly stopped going to school."
Manbao and the other two could only envy.
Bai Shan glanced outside and asked, "Why hasn't Liu Huan come yet?"
Yin Huo pointed to the teahouse across from the bookstore and said, "Let's wait there."
The four of them moved their position.
Liu Huan arrived a full quarter of an hour late. Bai Erlang started to complain, so he poured himself a cup of tea and said, "This isn't my fault. It's all their fault."
Liu Huan pointed at Bai Shan and Zhou Man and said, "I happened to run into my grandfather when I was leaving. Didn't you ask me about the official land? I asked, and then my grandfather scolded me."
Bai Shan was curious, "If you don't understand, then ask, why did Minister Liu want to cut you?"
Manbao: "That's right, if it's okay, then it's okay. If it's not okay, then it's not okay. It's just a matter of one sentence. Why are you angry?"
Liu Huan originally thought it was natural for his grandfather to be angry, but after being asked this question by the two of them, he lowered his head and thought about it again. Why would his grandfather be angry? And what right did he have to scold him?
Liu Huan straightened his chest instantly. "Yes, I'm not giving you a backdoor. I just asked because I don't understand. This is asking for your advice."
Bai Shan nodded and asked, "What did Minister Liu say?"
"My grandfather said there were precedents for this, but," he said, trying to convey the profound meaning behind his grandfather's words, "in the end, many official fields became private fields."
Not only Manbao and the other two, but even Yin Huo was stunned. "Why did the official land become private land?"
"Naturally, some families have been cultivating for a long time, and as time goes by, their land has become private. Of course, those families are not ordinary families. So, although the number of court officials has not increased much, the official land has been expanding. This is because every once in a while, some of the official land disappears." Liu Huan said to Zhou Man, "You, for the time being, do not have the qualifications to secretly convert official land into private land from the Ministry of Revenue."
See you tomorrow
