Chapter 3279 Large and small court meetings
Lord Luo also nodded. "The other side is a private residence. We need to send someone over to ask if they're willing to sell it or move to another location."
Zhou Man said: "It's better to change it. Houses in the capital are not cheap."
This is in the inner city, right next to the Imperial College and the Imperial Medical Bureau, a prime location. If they had to buy it, how much would the Imperial Medical Bureau have to spend? And they would have to renovate it to make it suitable for running a school.
Replacement is different. You can just pick a suitable house from the names of various departments and exchange it.
Xiao Yuanzheng thought this method was feasible, so he stared at her. Zhou Man pretended not to see his gaze and turned to look at Lord Luo.
Lord Luo pondered for a moment and said, "I will go and negotiate this matter."
He is not a doctor and does not have any medical skills. If he wants to gain a foothold in the Imperial Medical Bureau, he needs to do these things.
Zhou Man was extremely happy and felt that it was absolutely necessary to have someone like Lord Luo in the Imperial Medical Bureau. It saved her a lot of effort.
She privately told Xiao Yuanzheng: "The students sent to the Imperial College must be carefully selected, and we must train them to become the Lord Luo of our Imperial Medical Bureau."
"What do you mean by Master Luo who belongs to our Imperial Medical Bureau?" Xiao Yuanzheng was not impressed by Master Luo and said, "It should be to train Master Zhou who belongs to the Imperial Medical Bureau. Those students are like you, Master Zhou, who are the best."
"The dean is praising me so much, I'm going to blush."
"Don't blush just yet. Let me ask you, how should I write a reply to the Ministry of War?" Xiao Yuanzheng said, "The Ministry of War and His Majesty are pressing for personnel. Students graduating next year are currently interning at the Imperial Hospital and the medical offices of several nearby prefectures and counties. Transferring them there would be easy, but they lack experience. Can they start right away?"
"Not to mention that it's a military camp. If we go to the battlefield..." Xiao Yuanzheng paused and asked, "How many students do you think the military camp can retain?"
Zhou Man said: "Six years ago, students were able to go directly to the front line to rescue the wounded. Now they can go directly to the military camp. Dean, please don't worry too much."
"I'm just worried that if they desert, it would bring shame to our Imperial Medical Bureau."
"Of course, the students have to go voluntarily," Zhou Man said. "Before selecting people, we still have to let them make their own choices. This is the students' business, and what we teachers need to do is another matter."
"What's up?"
"We will pave the way for their promotion," Zhou Man said. "After all, the military medical department is different from the local medical department. Although they have a close relationship with our Imperial Medical Department, they are directly under the command of the army to which they belong."
"So we need to decide ahead of time what we should strive for for the students," Zhou Man said. "Military doctors have low salaries and ranks. If there's no path to advancement, who would want to go? We can't force students we've carefully trained for so many years to go, can we?"
Xiao Yuanzheng didn't expect that she would think about this, and was speechless for a long time.
Xiao Yuanzheng asked, "How do you think military doctors should be promoted?"
"I don't know," Zhou Man said with his hands spread out in a very simple manner, "I just couldn't think of it, so I brought it up so that you can think about it together."
Xiao Yuanzheng simply shook his head, "Forget it, let's gather everyone together to discuss it and pool our wisdom. I really can't think of anything."
Zhou Man nodded.
Xiao Yuan was looking at her, "The memorial..."
Zhou Man understood immediately and said, "I'll write it."
Xiao Yuanzheng was satisfied.
Zhou Man spent two days writing the memorial and submitted it to the emperor, who then took her memorial and discussed it at a small court meeting.
A military doctor in an army is considered a craftsman. Unless the army is disbanded or he is spotted by a superior and asked to leave, a military doctor will stay in the same army for his entire life. Not to mention being promoted and leaving, his descendants will serve the army forever as long as they study medicine.
Their household registration is listed as a craftsman in the military.
Throughout the two dynasties, only Doctor Fan was able to rise from military physician to imperial physician. His luck was partly due to his medical skills, and partly because the late emperor happened to be injured, and he used his medical skills to save the late emperor, which caught the late emperor's eye.
Most military doctors, let alone the Imperial Hospital, cannot even reach the threshold of being a doctor in a big pharmacy. Their future and financial prospects are very pitiful.
Since the Ministry of War begged her students to go, Zhou Man could not allow them to be sympathized with. What they deserved was respect and attention.
Zhou Man’s request was simple: the treatment of military doctors should be improved, they should have military ranks, and there should be a way for promotion.
As for how to do it specifically, I'm sorry she can't figure it out for now, so let's all work together.
At the small court meeting, everyone discussed the matter calmly twice. However, when the large court meeting was held and the matter was brought up again, everyone became much angrier. Moreover, because of the quarrel, the progress was slowed down and the matter was shelved.
No wonder Your Majesty likes to hold small court meetings so much and usually skips large court meetings. It is because small court meetings are efficient. Unless there is nothing else to discuss, they will discuss and deal with each item one by one. Even if there is a dispute, the one with more opinions will win. If they cannot reach an agreement, they will listen to the opinions first and then put them aside and move on to the next topic.
After comparing the two, Zhou Man liked the small court meeting more.
Zhou Man sat upright in her seat, waiting for someone to ask her questions, but they were so engrossed in the debate that they couldn't even ask her questions. If she hadn't been sitting closer and closer to the front, she would have wanted to close her eyes and rest...
The emperor listened for a while, wrote down their useful suggestions, and then stopped the dispute between the two parties, put the matter aside and signaled to move on to the next topic.
An imperial censor stepped forward and said, "Your Majesty, the case of the Laizhou Salt Transport Bureau colluding with pirates to smuggle salt and assassinate an imperial official has been delayed. I implore Your Majesty to bring the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple to justice for the people of Laizhou and Lord Xiao Tang."
The emperor frowned and looked at Zhang Shangshu and the Dali Temple Minister, "Why is this case dragging on?"
Minister Zhang stepped out and said, "Your Majesty, this case has not yet been concluded as some witnesses and suspects have yet to appear."
Tang He followed the clues and has now investigated from Laizhou to Qizhou. He pulled out the radish and brought out the mud. However, there seems to be no progress recently. It seems that the case is over, but in fact it is still under investigation and naturally it is impossible to conclude it.
The emperor nodded slightly and said, "Order the Ministry of Justice, the Supreme Court, and the Censorate to continue investigating. The local salt transport bureaus have only been established for three years, and they've already been colluding with pirates to sell smuggled salt. If we don't make an example of them, how will we distinguish between official and private salt in the future?"
All the ministers agreed.
The censor also retreated.
Seeing that Tang He was alright, Zhou Man lowered his head again, wanting to drift off to sleep. A voice rang in his ears, "...Your Majesty, please reconsider."
Zhou Man raised his eyelids and took a look at the person who wrote the letter. The person wrote that the way to immortality was false, and judging from the past and the present, he requested the emperor to kill Narasava to correct the emperor's mind.
It's too late, you guys go to sleep first, there's still one chapter that will be late
