Chapter 3011: Wealthy
Bai Shan said: "He has a good reputation in Qingzhou now, otherwise County Magistrate Lu would not have invited him. Although he is a little arrogant, people with ability have the right to be arrogant. We are selecting talents, and talents naturally have the right to choose."
For example, they can choose to be loyal to the emperor, but if they disagree with him, they can naturally resign and stop working for him.
Zhou Man thought it made sense, so he made up his mind, "I'll go and invite him when I get out of the government office. What position do you think I should give him?"
Bai Shan tilted his head slightly, "Dian Yao? Don't you have a vacancy for a Dian Yao position under your name?"
Zhou Man thought about it and nodded, "Okay, then hire him as the pharmacist."
Zhou Man also said to Wen Tiandong, "We will definitely rely on him when we build the other two hospitals." She said, "You should spend more time with him. In the end, we will rely on you guys for this matter."
Wen Tiandong understood Zhou Man's implication, opened his eyes slightly, and agreed happily.
Only then did Zhou Man go with him to visit the boy's family.
After most of the day, Wen Tiandong already had a treatment method in mind, including acupuncture, medicinal compresses, and decoctions.
He showed Zhou Man the prescription and acupuncture instructions.
Zhou Man glanced at it and nodded slightly. He put down the prescription and said, "I'm prescribing the same prescription as you, but the acupuncture method and decoction are different..."
The two discussed the treatment method, and after deciding on three prescriptions, they looked at the woman lying on the bed. "Your illness requires absolute bed rest. I will teach you a few more exercises. You can practice them every day to help you recover faster."
The young man beside him hurriedly asked, "Sir, how long will it take to cure my mother's illness?"
Zhou Man thought for a moment and said, "At least three months, and it depends on the situation. It's very difficult to cure her completely. I can only say that I will try my best to let her live like a normal person."
She said, "But we must also pay more attention in our daily lives."
Zhou Man turned to look at the woman and said meaningfully, "Your body is your own, and your life is your own. Don't overwork yourself by washing clothes during the confinement period. Don't do that again."
The woman said, "It was harvest time, how could I not go to the fields?"
Zhou Man raised his eyebrows and asked, "Have you been to the fields in the past four years?"
The woman was speechless.
Zhou Man said: "But during these four years, you lived, and your children lived too."
The woman was speechless.
Zhou Man turned and said to Bai Shan, "Education isn't just about teaching men not to beat their wives and children. It's also about teaching wives to be more open-minded. In fact, sometimes women are not as important as you think, nor as worthless as you think."
The woman lowered her head and nodded, not daring to speak, while the boy and little girl beside her seemed to be thinking about something.
After deciding on the treatment plan, Zhou Man said, "Get ready. Wash up and stay here. I'll come give you acupuncture and apply medicine later."
The woman finally came to her senses and quickly agreed.
Xiao Kou came to the boy and said, "The master asked you to go to the backyard to chop wood and boil water. Your mother needs to wash her hair and take a bath. Do you have clean clothes? If not, we can lend you a set."
The young man came back to his senses and quickly said, "Yes, we brought it."
Xiao Kou took him to the kitchen.
Zhou Man went to the pharmacy to prepare the compress, which still needed to be boiled and soaked. Bai Shan followed closely behind him and asked, "I've thought carefully about the issue of education. I've summoned the village heads to the county for meetings and training more than once. I think the results are quite good, but the people are ignorant, and the actual situation is still far from what we want to achieve."
Zhou Man weighed the medicine and asked, "So?"
"So I think our county government and your medical department should cooperate," Bai Shan said. "Look, more and more patients are coming to your medical department for treatment, especially women. Didn't you want to organize the women and teach them some basic medical knowledge before? Why not educate them at the same time?"
"Isn't that man educated?"
"It's just one thing," he said. "Although the world always looks down on women, you can't deny that women make up half of the average family, and in the upbringing of children, women's status is no less than that of men."
He gave an example, "Like your home."
The children of the Zhou family were basically taught by Qian.
Zhou Man poured all the measured medicine into the basin, raised his head proudly and said, "That's because my father is a good man. Those men beat their wives and children, but my father never hits my mother."
Bai Shan just looked at her quietly.
We all grew up in Qili Village. In our spare time, we often squatted under the big banyan tree at the entrance of the village to listen to the old people gossip. Who doesn’t know each other?
Zhou Man also looked at him quietly. In the end, she took a step back based on reality. "Okay, my father does have some minor problems, but my mother can teach him a lesson."
Old Zhou was also lazy when he was young, and Qian was also tired when she was young, but she never took care of her body like this woman. How could she touch cold water and go to the fields to cut rice just three days after giving birth?
Qian gave birth several times later. Her mother-in-law was no longer around, and her sister-in-law from her natal family sometimes couldn't spare the time to help, so she forced Old Zhou to take the clothes out to wash.
Bai Shan was waiting for her to say this, "You also said that your mother-in-law is good at training. It shows that the education of women is more important than that of men."
Zhou Man rolled his eyes and said, "It's not impossible, but... the Medical Department is short of money."
Bai Shan: "..."
He looked at Zhou Man deeply, waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I'll call you!"
Zhou Man became excited and looked at him with sparkling eyes, "Really?"
Bai Shan nodded twice vigorously, "It's more real than gold!"
Is he short of money now?
He was the county magistrate who had just sold several carts of salt not long ago, and the county government's warehouse was now piled with more and more money.
Unfortunately, there is still a lot of salt piled up at the salt field and it cannot be sold for the time being, otherwise he could make more money.
Bai Shancai said generously, "Just tell me how much money you want, and I'll give it to you."
Zhou Man was stunned. After a while, he said blankly, "The medical department in Qingzhou City is also going to be built..."
Bai Shan looked thoughtful. "I can talk to Magistrate Lu for you, or I can talk to Governor Guo."
Zhou Man: "Stingy!"
Bai Shan: "This is a clear distinction between public and private!"
This was the Beihai County Medical Department. No matter how much money was given, the people of Beihai County would still benefit. But if they invested in the Qingzhou City Medical Department...
Bai Shan coughed lightly and stepped back while saying, "This is called governing within one's position. I'll talk about it when I can take charge of Qingzhou City."
Zhou Man watched him retreat silently. When he reached the door, he raised one foot, stepped out, turned around and slipped away.
She hummed softly, carried the basin to the back kitchen, took out a medicine bag and stuffed all the medicine into it, then handed it to Xiao Kou, "Boil the medicine in the medium pot."
"yes."
Wen Tiandong was recording the pulse record. He really wanted to perform the acupuncture himself, but when he thought of the woman's reaction, he sighed and handed the recorded pulse record to Zhou Man. "Sir, would you like me to help you?"
Zhou Man thought for a moment and said, "You wait outside the window and listen to the patient's feedback. If it's inside, just let Xibing help me."
My throat is a little inflamed today, probably because of the vaccination. I slept groggily all day, so I'm not in a good state. I'll update two chapters today and I'll make up for it in two days when I feel better.
See you tomorrow
