Chapter 3230 Envy and Jealousy (May Monthly Ticket Plus 2)
Tang He pondered, "They're desperate, but I've already arrested everyone I should arrest. It seems the people outside Laizhou are afraid of being implicated by me. Zhishan, please send a letter to Governor Liu for me, asking him to keep a close eye on those in the prison. Don't let them escape, and don't let them die."
Tang He grinned, his eyes gleaming coldly as he said, "Otherwise, he'll be responsible for my injury. Oh, and don't tell anyone outside that I'm alive. Just say I haven't cleared the poison yet and I'm dying."
"Humph, if Governor Liu isn't stupid, he has to guard those people with all his might. Otherwise, if I die and the culprit can't be found, let's see how he'll explain it to the capital."
Bai Shan agreed and asked, "Do you want to move in with us? There are so many people here at the hospital, and I'm afraid it's hard to keep it secret."
Tang He didn't want to stay in the hospital either, so he turned around to look at Zhou Man.
Zhou Man said, "Let's wait until it's dark before moving. Fortunately, the hospital is not far from our home and we can walk there."
In the evening, when there were not many patients in the hospital, Zhou Man had someone bring a stretcher over and put Tang He on it. She covered him with a blanket, looked at his face, and nodded with satisfaction, "Just close your eyes. Outsiders will definitely not be able to tell whether you are unconscious or not."
Tang He closed his eyes and let them carry him out.
The Laizhou official who had been guarding outside the medical office was shocked when he saw this and rushed over, but was stopped by Mingli and his guards. He could only see Tang He's pale face.
He was terrified, "What happened to Master Tang?"
Mingli frowned and said, "The poison in the master is difficult to remove, so we need to send him to Master Zhou's residence for convenient treatment. My lord, please don't hinder our master's movement."
The guards carried the stretcher past him and left, turning into the alley.
Zhou Man also followed the stretcher with a frown.
The officials in Laizhou were extremely anxious. Seeing that they could not communicate, they had to go back to the inn and send someone to deliver a message to Laizhou.
After Zhou Man settled Tang He, he returned to the medical office, where Shi Shuling had been waiting.
He was the director of Laizhou Medical Bureau, and their official positions in the state medical bureau were the same.
But he knew they were different. When Zhou Man came in, he immediately stood up and saluted respectfully, "Sir."
Zhou Man nodded, asked him to sit down, and asked, "I've been too busy today and forgot to ask you, how is the Laizhou Medical Bureau doing?"
Shi Shuling sat upright and said, "Thanks to your help, everything is going smoothly. Laizhou has now opened medical offices in two counties. We have also begun to cooperate with local medical clinics and drugstores according to your advice, inviting their doctors to come and exchange medical skills from time to time. As expected, we have encountered much less resistance."
Zhou Man nodded and asked, "Are there any difficulties with the medicinal materials?"
Shi Shuling nodded. "The variety of medicinal materials is a bit limited. We have only purchased two-thirds of the medicines on the new free medicine list issued by the Imperial Medical Bureau this year. Nearly one-third of the herbs are still missing. For some diseases, we can't get the full medicine. We can only write a prescription and ask the patient to go to other pharmacies to get it, or change to other medicines, but the effectiveness will be greatly reduced."
Zhou Man frowned, "Is the budget provided by the Imperial Medical Bureau not enough?"
Shi Shuling nodded, "That's one reason. Another reason is that medicine prices are rising this year, so with the same amount of money, we have to buy a lot less herbs."
Zhou Man said, "We'd rather purchase less medicine than less, but we must have a complete range of medicines. The free medicines listed on the current prescription list are all commonly used medicinal materials. If we can't even provide this, the people will lose confidence in the medical department over time. How much do you need? Make a list for me and I'll give you some first, and you can pay me back later."
Director Shi breathed a sigh of relief and agreed immediately.
He had enough time and didn't think of bringing a prescription, but he remembered roughly what was missing, so he went to grind ink and write the prescription.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Zheng Gu lit a lamp for him.
Shi Shuling whispered to him, "Master Tang is saved, right?"
Zheng Gu glanced at him and lowered his voice, "Don't ask around. I was just about to tell you this. If anyone asks you after you return to Laizhou, just say you know nothing. Once Lord Tang arrives in Qingzhou, we will take over."
Shi Shuling curled his lips and said, "I'm sure Governor Liu won't believe me if I say that. It's better to say that the situation is not optimistic."
Zheng Gu thought about it and said, "Okay, you are really smart."
Shi Shuling sighed and said, "I can't compare to you. You're leaning against a big tree to enjoy the shade. I don't know how much hair I've lost in Laizhou in the past two years."
"You're talking as if I had never established the Medical Bureau," Zheng Gu said. "Think about your current position, and then think about mine, and you'll be content."
"I'm not satisfied. I'm willing to trade with you. Are you willing to trade with me?" Shi Shuling said, "We are doctors. To put it bluntly, our medical skills are our strength. Since graduating from the Imperial Medical Bureau, my medical skills have not made much practical progress. Unlike you, who can still study with the master all the time, you have no idea how much we envy you in private."
My eyes are red with envy.
Zheng Gu said, "You've seen so many patients and accumulated so much experience. Who would believe you if you said you hadn't made any progress?"
"That can only be considered applying what I've learned, integrating it into my own understanding. But I really don't know how to treat newer illnesses," Shi Shuling lowered his voice. "Take, for example, the time Lord Tang was poisoned. Honestly, when I saw his wound, I had no idea what was wrong. I could only give him a dose of penicillin and a bowl of detoxifying soup, but judging by his pulse, I didn't think he would survive. I even asked the most famous doctor in Laizhou to see him, but they all said he couldn't survive because the poison was too potent."
"It was the servant beside Master Tang who insisted on sending someone over, so we sent him here. Actually, when we were in the car, I felt that Master might not be able to be saved. After all, the poison was so strong, and it took too long. I didn't expect..."
He exclaimed, "This is the difference between good and bad medical skills. If I had your medical skills, why would I come here?"
Then he looked at Zheng Gu with jealousy, "The master only let you stay by his side when he treated Lord Tang."
Zheng Gu: "...I am the teacher's personal disciple."
"Indeed," Shi Shuling was no longer jealous, but envious. "This is luck. The master has only accepted four disciples so far. Oh, I wish I could have been with the master sooner."
Zheng Gu knocked on the table. "Do you still want the herbs? Write them down!"
Shi Shuling lowered his head to write the prescription and asked, "Is the Imperial Medical Bureau biased towards you? Why did you still spare me medicine when the money I applied for was cut so much?"
"No, the money we reported was also cut, but our medical department has additional income." He said, "The Imperial Medical Bureau didn't take back our right to produce penicillin, so we can sell penicillin in Qingzhou. We also have some finished medicines, and the army has basically bought them all. This is a profit. Because our medical department has a close cooperation with the local government, Qingzhou City, Beihai County Government, and Changshou County Government will allocate us a sum of money for medicine every quarter, so..."
Shi Shuling became jealous again. "Not only do I lack your medical skills, but I also lack a husband like you, a county magistrate. Oh, no, a wife."
Zheng Gu: ...
Zheng Gu was so frightened that he looked outside. Seeing no one was around, he lowered his voice and said, "Don't worry about your life, don't talk nonsense."
