Chapter 3353 Extra: Strong Sister 7 (Update)
Zhou Man nodded, then touched his hair and said, "Back then, it was me who found the rice seeds for your eldest cousin's experimental field, and it was also me who asked him to plant the experimental field. That's how your mother and I got the title of princess."
Bai Jingxing only knew that her mother had made great contributions, and therefore was named a princess by the late emperor, but she did not know that it was because of the new rice seeds. She was amazed for a moment, "Mom, you are so amazing!"
Zhou Man nodded modestly and said, "It's okay, it's okay, just okay."
Bai Jingxing clenched his fists, his eyes sparkling, "Mom, I understand. When I go back, I won't go to Mingxue School anymore. I'm going to the Imperial Medical Bureau!"
Zhou Man raised his eyebrows slightly. "It's not impossible to go to the Imperial Medical Bureau, but the Imperial Medical Bureau mainly teaches medical skills, and there are very few other courses. But your father comes from an aristocratic family, so you must at least read the Four Books and Five Classics in full so that you can understand the principles of life."
Bai Jingxing was stunned. "Should I split myself in half, with one half going to Mingxue to attend classes and the other half going to the Imperial Medical Bureau to study?"
"The Great Jin Dynasty currently doesn't have the medical skills to split itself. If you really split yourself, I'll have no choice but to bury you right there," Zhou Man thought for a moment before asking, "What do you want to learn at the Imperial Medical Bureau?"
"I just want to be as awesome as my mother."
Zhou Man smiled and said, "Then you can't just go to the Imperial Medical Bureau. The most important thing about the Imperial Medical Bureau is teaching medical skills. For the rest, you have to learn from other teachers. As for medical skills, I will teach you when you go home."
She touched Bai Jingxing's head and said with relief: "You are finally sensible. For this reason, I can let you go to Mingxue without any worries. When you come home from school, I will teach you medical skills and how to become a person like your mother."
"What if you're away on business, mother?"
"Don't we still have your eldest cousin's wife and third cousin?" Zhou Man said, "They have the medical skills, and as for other things, your father is there."
Zhou Man and Bai Shan have to go on business trips for a period of time every year, ranging from two to three months, and they are basically separated.
This way there will always be someone in charge at home.
Zhou Man said thoughtfully: "If not, I can hire you a teacher who can teach you every day when you come back from school."
Little Bai Jingxing shuddered with her unusually sharp senses and immediately refused, "No, I don't want to. Mom and Dad will teach me. The teachers in the school are also very good."
"The teachers at school are very good, but you are disobedient."
"I will listen. I will definitely listen in the future."
Seeing that his mother finally let the matter go, little Bai Jingxing breathed a sigh of relief.
The new prescription Zhou Manding prescribed was very effective. After two doses, the patient's condition improved greatly.
So Zhou Man announced the prescription, and people from all over Yunzhou began to make medicine according to the prescription.
Zhou Man said, "Order Shengzhou, Shuozhou, Daizhou and other places to purchase as many medicinal herbs as possible and send them to Yunzhou. Have the capital dispatch the herbs needed for the prescription and have them shipped to Yunzhou as quickly as possible via the canal. Not only will patients infected with the plague need to take the medicine, but those who are not infected should also take a dose of medicine to prevent the plague."
Dian Yao bowed in response, took Zhou Man's memorial and then retreated.
The governor of Yunzhou and the magistrates of two nearby counties came to ask for a meeting, and Zhou Man let them in.
Bai Jingxing, who was following beside him, obediently made tea for them. The governor of Yunzhou could not help but praise Bai Jingxing again and again, praising him so much that Bai Jingxing's face turned red.
Zhou Man smiled and said, "If you have anything to say, just say it. If you keep praising me, my daughter will be so proud of herself that she will be lifted up to the sky."
"The young lady is so outstanding, and my compliments are sincere," the governor said. "Looking at all the civil and military officials in the court, which young lady would be able to come out and understand the people's sentiments at the age of ten? Not to mention this is an epidemic area."
To be honest, the governor really praised Bai Jingxing, but the person he admired most was Zhou Man.
This is an epidemic area, and she actually dared to bring the child here. If Bai Jingxing and Zhou Man did not look somewhat similar and were not obviously mother and daughter, he would almost suspect that Bai Jingxing was not Zhou Man's biological child.
However, facts have proven that Zhou Man is really capable. None of the people she brought with her were infected. After she arrived, the epidemic was quickly brought under control, and the number of people infected decreased. Now they have even developed a prescription...
The governor looked at Zhou Man with tears in his eyes. "Master Zhou, I came here to check on the medical bills and to thank you for saving my life on behalf of the people of Yunzhou."
Zhou Man said, "This is also my duty. I don't deserve your thanks."
The governor smiled sheepishly and said, "There's one more thing, Lord Zhou. Before the plague, there was a drought on the grasslands, and many animals migrated south into Yunzhou. The farmland suffered some damage. Coupled with the plague outbreak, the harvest was not taken care of. As a result, the price of grain in Yunzhou has risen to five cents per dou."
He said with an embarrassed look on his face, "Could you please ask Lord Zhou to say a few good words for Yunzhou?"
Zhou Man asked, "Where is the grain depot in Yunzhou?"
"Without an imperial decree, I dare not open the Yunzhou granary."
Zhou Man nodded slightly. "I will mention this matter when I submit my memorial to the court, but I cannot guarantee how the court will respond."
"Minister Bai's side..."
Zhou Man smiled slightly and said, "The matter of disaster relief is not decided by Minister Bai alone."
But he is the Minister of Revenue, and his words are very important.
The governor did not dare to insist, fearing that it would backfire, so he said a few more words, inspected the medical tents, and then took his men to leave.
Bai Jingxing was puzzled. "Mother, you also sympathize with the people of Yunzhou, why don't you let Daddy provide relief to Yunzhou?"
Zhou Man: "Whether to provide relief is a matter for the imperial court to decide. I don't know the situation of Yunzhou's granaries, nor do I know its harvests over the years, so it's hard to make a definitive conclusion. But the ministers in the court will investigate. They know more than we do, and their decisions will be better than mine."
"You must remember that when you are in the court, you must not be too emotional. You must be rational, especially as a doctor," Zhou Man said. "You must be kind to your patients, but you must never let your emotions get the better of you."
The young Bai Jingxing heard but didn't understand.
Zhou Man didn't force him. "Just remember this sentence. When you grow up a little bit and treat patients yourself, you will understand."
Bai Jingxing agreed.
Zhou Man wrote a memorial to the court to report, but he also sent a letter to Mingda along with the memorial.
Bai Jingxing was grinding ink on the side, confused, "Mom, why are you writing to Auntie instead of Dad?"
"He's the Minister of Revenue, so it's not right for him to be partial. I won't interfere in his official duties. Let him make the final decision on Yunzhou's affairs. As for the letter to your aunt, it's because she's a famous philanthropist in the Jin Dynasty."
In addition to Mingxue, Mingda also managed a series of charitable organizations such as Yushantang very well. When the late emperor was still alive, he took the initiative to hand over the Yushantang in the capital area to Mingda.
When the new emperor ascended the throne, she and the queen took over all the Yushan Halls in Dajin.
The queen can be a role model for a country, and Princess Mingda's kindness is also well-known throughout the world.
So, Yunzhou is in trouble, can the Queen and Princess donate some money?
Bai Jingxing looked at the letter written by her mother and vaguely felt something that she shouldn't have touched.
Good night
