Chapter 1657 Happy Children's Day
When talking about Dean Xiao, he was full of opinions. He originally thought that Zhou Man was young and in the period of growth, so it was understandable that she was not on duty. As a result, she ran out of the capital during her day off, and the Imperial Hospital could not find anyone when something happened. It was simply too much.
The two of them walked away while talking. When their voices gradually became quieter and could no longer be heard, the three people on the other side of the wall began to speak.
Kong Jijiu, with a look of satisfaction and approval, said to the Crown Prince, "Your Highness, Zhou Man is a scholar, and Xiao Yuanzheng is a craftsman. This is the difference between a scholar and a craftsman. The emperor is unimportant, and the people are precious. Your Highness has been familiar with poetry and literature since childhood, so you should know this principle."
The prince frowned. Originally, he didn't think it was a big deal when Zhou Man said that the people wanted him to do something, but now that Kong Jijiu said this, he couldn't help but feel a little angry. Why should he and my father be treated lightly?
But then he thought of what Mr. Zhuang had said to him before his last retreat, "Your Highness, showing joy doesn't necessarily make you happy, but instead makes others happy. So, why not control your emotions and avoid criticism?"
The prince sat there without saying anything, but to calm his temper, he poured himself a cup of tea, then placed it on the table. He looked at Yang Heshu and changed the subject, "Sir Yang, you heard it too. Shouldn't the Ministry of Revenue allocate some money specifically for the doctor's salary?"
Yang Heshu said, "I cannot make the final decision on this matter, but Your Highness can propose it to the Ministry of Revenue. I also think that the Medical Department is related to the livelihood of the people, so it can be slightly increased."
Yang Heshu turned to look at Kong Jijiu and said, "If I can get a few kind words from Lord Kong, I think things will be easier for the Ministry of Revenue."
Kong Jijiu is a very respected person. Sometimes his words are more effective than those of the crown prince. Moreover, Liu Shangshu is Kong Jijiu's junior fellow apprentice.
Although Kong Jijiu was disappointed that he couldn't use this opportunity to better teach the Crown Prince, he still thought about it and nodded, "Loyalty to the emperor is the reward for living under the emperor. Since they have been loyal to the people and Your Majesty, they naturally deserve the salary they deserve."
The prince was satisfied.
Only those who manage a household know how expensive firewood, rice, oil and salt are. He did not mind emptying his father's private treasury at all, but it was obvious that emptying his father's private treasury would not be enough to fill the vacancies in the Imperial Medical Bureau, so it was obviously impossible for the Ministry of Revenue to reap the benefits.
The prince originally thought it was cool here, and knew that Kong Jijiu was going to talk to him about some old topics, so he chose this side. He thought that if he got bored, he could just turn around and look at the scenery in the garden. Who knew that he would get such an extra benefit?
Manbao didn't know about these things for the time being because she was talking to Xiao Yuanzheng and Keke didn't disturb her.
The two of them talked a lot and returned to the library of Chongwenguan.
Manbao picked up the detailed outline of the last five volumes written by Xiao Yuanzheng, which listed the main points to be written in each volume and even gave her a list of reference books.
Manbao took a quick look and found that she had read all the books, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
This way, she would have to revise the book faster. Otherwise, she would have to study before she could start revising it. Let alone a month, she might not be able to finish it in half a year.
There is a big difference between having a thorough understanding and having only a superficial understanding.
Xiao Yuanzheng said to her, "Alright, hurry up and gather all the books and start revising them. Just follow the detailed outline and don't stray from the topic. The medical book you gave me last time clearly said it was about colds, so why did you write about fevers?"
Manbao said, "I'll write it down for comparison."
Dean Xiao was furious. "Is that a comparison? You wrote 28 chapters in one volume, 16 of which are about fevers, and only 12 are about colds. The fever volume was written by Imperial Physician Lu, and since you've taken over his content, you've left him no room to write."
Manbao immediately stopped talking and admitted his mistake.
Xiao Yuanzheng softened his tone and said to Manbao, "Master Zhou, you are still young and have a long way to go. Don't argue with adults, okay?"
Man Bao was stunned, then whispered, "Xiao Yuanzheng, I really didn't mean to target Doctor Lu. Wind-cold syndrome and wind-heat syndrome always conflict with each other, and recently it was a summer heat syndrome, so I couldn't help but write a little more while writing. Really, I swear."
Manbao looked at Xiao Yuanzheng sincerely.
Seeing her sincere eyes, Xiao Yuanzheng hesitated, "You really didn't mean to target me?"
Manbao nodded vigorously. "I really didn't mean to do that. I didn't think there was anything wrong with it until I wrote it and gave it to you. It was only when Doctor Zheng told me that I remembered I had taken Doctor Lu's job. Sigh, it's all my fault."
Dean Xiao waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it. As long as you didn't do it on purpose, it's fine. But what you wrote is indeed more detailed than Doctor Lu's."
Manbao asked anxiously, "Whose doctor will the Imperial Hospital decide to use?"
"Of course, we'll use whichever is best. A medical book consists of twelve volumes, so there can't be too many discrepancies."
Manbao secretly made a gesture in her mind. If there really was a little person in her mind, her little person would definitely be the kind that would fly with joy.
Koko can monitor the host's emotional fluctuations without any analysis. The recorded bands can tell it how happy the host is at that moment.
Manbao lowered his head and sent Xiao Yuanzheng away, then silently put away the manuscript on the desk and held it in his arms.
She left the library and headed towards her bedroom. Seeing no one on the way, she couldn't help but jump up, a bright smile instantly appearing on her face. In her mind, she kept saying to Keke, "Did you hear that? Dean Xiao said to use mine, not Doctor Lu's!"
"I heard it. It's worth it that the host stayed up all night for nearly half a month to write that volume on fever."
Manbao snorted, "This is what happens when you offend me. I've blocked his path and made it even narrower."
What could Koko say? He could only tell the host, "Just now, when the host was talking to Xiao Yuanzheng in the garden, behind the wall not far away were the Crown Prince, Kong Jijiu, Yang Heshu, and Eunuch Wu."
Manbao was stunned and couldn't jump up. "Why didn't you say so earlier?"
Keke said: "Next time the host wants to avoid the crowd, remember to notify me first to scan."
So this is still her fault?
Manbao accepted the advice humbly and said that he would definitely ask Keke next time.
After returning to the dormitory, Manbao hummed a tune, put the manuscripts on the desk, packed his medicine box and went to see the Crown Princess.
As she was putting it away, she felt something was wrong. She withdrew her hand and looked at her needle bag. "Did I put away the needle bag so neatly last time?"
"No, the host's needle bag has been tampered with."
Manbao was surprised. She took out the needle bag, opened it, and started to pull out the needles one by one. Even she couldn't tell any difference.
Manbao could only ask Keke for help, "What's the difference?"
"Nothing was different, except that the needle bag was turned over and the needles were not changed."
Manbao thought about it for a moment. Although she felt that Koko wouldn't make a mistake, she still rolled up the needle bag and asked, "Is there no one around now?"
Koko said: "No."
Manbao placed the needle bag in a corner of the system space, then took out another one and put it into the medicine box. She carefully looked at the other items in the medicine box and asked, "The other items should be intact, right?"
Koko replied "yes", then she closed the medicine box and went to see the Crown Princess.
By now the Crown Princess had moved back to the East Palace, so she could visit her much closer.
Manbao muttered, "Why did you touch my needle bag?"
I wish you all a happy Children's Day
Good night
