Chapter 3097 Pan Veterinarian
Bai Shan brought the veterinarian back to the county government office. He did not just pick any veterinarian, but asked people and specifically chose Veterinarian Pan.
He is not young anymore. His grandfather has been a veterinarian specializing in horse scalding. He can treat both cattle and horses. He is the second-in-command in the animal husbandry office.
Bai Shan was able to poach him because he told Pan the veterinarian, "As long as you go to Beihai County, I will buy you a courtyard there. In addition to the monthly salary from the government office, I will also give you a red envelope of no less than 600 coins."
Veterinarian Pan's current monthly salary is 800 wen. He occasionally gets some extra money, but on average, it is no more than 100 wen per month.
So he agreed after only a moment's hesitation, and even agreed to go to Beihai County with Bai Shan that day. He didn't even take his family with him, but only took his two apprentices.
The top official of the Simu Office in Qingzhou Prefecture is only of the ninth rank, and his salary is only four hundred coins higher than his. Although it sounds better to have an official rank, Simu looks like he can live longer than him. Who knows if he can wait until he gets the position?
The Simu Suo in the county below had no rank, but if Bai Shan could fulfill his promise, he would be satisfied even if he only received an extra 600 coins in salary during his term.
He was mainly interested in the courtyard that Bai Shan mentioned.
When they arrived at Beihai County, Bai Shan took them directly to the east end of the city and pointed to a row of courtyards and said, "Choose one."
Veterinarian Pan opened his mouth wide and asked in disbelief, "This, this is all..."
"These were all built by the county government. Don't be fooled by this remote location. The streets and everything are newly built. It's inside the city, so it's not too far from the main road. The people living here are all well-off, so it's not a mess." Bai Shan said, "These houses will be given to people who have made outstanding contributions to Beihai County."
In fact, as more and more people came to the county government office and the medical department, Bai Shan and Zhou Man were worried that the backyards of the county government office and the medical department could not accommodate so many people. After a careful search, they found that there were many fields on the east side of the city not far from the county government office.
Some of the land was open field, no one cultivated it, and the soil quality was also average, so he fenced it off and asked the farmhands on the government fields to build houses.
There aren't many of them, just one street, two courtyards facing each other, eight rooms in a row, a total of sixteen rooms.
Mr. Cui and Mr. Qian have already chosen a room. In fact, Bai Shan also wanted to give one to Lord Cui, but Lord Cui didn't like the houses here. Even if he had to live there, he would live near Longchi Wharf for convenience of work.
Bai Shan said to Pan the veterinarian, "Choose. It's not far from here to the county government office. I'll take you there to familiarize you with the route."
The two disciples looked at their master with envy, wishing they could immediately take the responsibility on their master's behalf. It was a pity that they hadn't completed their apprenticeship yet and didn't have their master's ability, otherwise...
Veterinarian Pan was deeply moved. After careful selection, he chose a room not far from the street entrance, which would be more convenient for entering and exiting and close to the main street.
The courtyards are all similar, about the same size, and have similar layouts. They are all two-entry courtyards, with large open spaces in the front and back yards, which give them room to express themselves freely.
Bai Shan took them inside and said, "But none of the courtyards have furniture yet, so you'll have to do that yourself. So, you'll be staying at the inn for the time being. Veterinarian Pan can have someone from his family come over to help, so you can move in as soon as possible."
Veterinarian Pan's eyes moistened. He suppressed his excitement and asked, "What about the property deed..."
"The property deeds are ready. Just fill in Veterinarian Pan's name," Bai Shan said with a slight smile. "We work for the county government, so the procedures aren't difficult."
Veterinarian Pan nodded repeatedly and followed Bai Shan to the county government office to handle the procedures.
Bai Shan was right. It was not far from here to the county government office. No, it should be said that the entire Beihai County was not big, and this area in the east of the city was right next to the county government office, so it only took more than two quarters of an hour to walk there.
Veterinarian Pan looked carefully at the people on the street and found that there was a street not far from where they lived. There were many shops and stalls on it, as well as people selling vegetables. It was quite lively.
This is not the main street. Walk from the end of the street to the beginning, turn right and you will enter the main street. Then walk a little further and you will reach the county government office.
The main street is more lively, with all kinds of things for sale and a lot of people.
This is more convenient than going to the street where he lives now.
Veterinarian Pan suppressed his joy and excitedly went all the way to the county government office with Bai Shan.
Bai Shan took out a document and a property deed and placed them on the table. He said to Veterinarian Pan, "Veterinarian Pan, please take a close look at this document."
He said, "If you decide to stay, you will have to stay at the Beihai County Animal Husbandry Office for at least ten years and train some veterinarians for Beihai County."
Veterinarian Pan calmed down a bit and asked, "Are my two apprentices not good enough?"
"Of course," Bai Shan smiled at his two apprentices and said to Veterinarian Pan, "Then you must teach them well. Of course, in addition to them, you can also take in a few more apprentices or students. It's up to you who to choose and how to teach them. I just want no fewer than five people in Beihai County who can be veterinarians."
Veterinarian Pan couldn't help but be curious, "Does your Excellency want us to treat horses or cows?"
Bai Shan said seriously, "I want all your energy!"
He said, "All livestock must be taken care of: horses, cows, sheep, pigs, chickens, and ducks. As many as can be taken care of."
Veterinarian Pan's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but say, "How is this possible? Sir, I'm good at treating horses and cows, but I've never learned anything else, and my ancestors didn't have such medical skills."
Bai Shan said, "If you don't have any, then study hard. People are connected, and so are animals. I heard that our ancestors only knew how to treat horses at first, but later they learned how to treat cows."
Veterinarian Pan: ...Then pigs, chickens, and ducks cannot be compared with cows and horses. They are different species. Isn’t it the same as using them to treat humans?
Seeing his embarrassment, Bai Shan patted him on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, this county has people who are patiently waiting. I think pigs look similar to cows and horses, so why not start with pigs? I'll introduce you to Director Zhou of the Medical Bureau later, and you can discuss it."
Veterinarian Pan's eyes widened even further, and his two apprentices behind him also opened their mouths wide. "This, this, Director Zhou is, is... a healer?"
Bai Shan said confidently, "Medical skills have something in common. I think she also has some skills in treating livestock. You can discuss it."
Veterinarian Pan looked at Bai Shan, then lowered his head to look at the deed on the table, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Okay!"
So Veterinarian Pan signed his name.
But he also had a request, "I, I have to go back to the county town and bring my family over..."
Seeing Bai Shan frown, he immediately said: “There are also some tools and medical books that I need to bring.
See you at 10pm
