Chapter 2430 Reward (Reward for the book friend "十年萌萌")
The emperor exempted them from formalities, asked everyone to sit down and began to discuss state affairs.
The most important thing right now was naturally tomorrow's Ministry of Personnel examination, so the Minister of Personnel stepped out first to report on the preparations to the Emperor...
Manbao sat in his seat, listening attentively to these state affairs, wondering when it would be their turn at the Imperial Medical Bureau. The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. However, he waited and waited, and it seemed that there were too many state affairs recently.
In some places, spring plowing has ended, in others it has just begun. In some places, it rained too much, and the rice seedlings and seeds were soaked as soon as they were planted. In other places, it hasn't rained at all, making it impossible to plant rice seedlings or sow seeds...
In other places, water conservancy projects are in a state of concern; river channels need dredging and dams need reinforcement. There were even border clashes. Over grazing land and water sources, they accidentally clashed with Tubo. Of course, these were small-scale, with soldiers stationed in the fields leading the nomadic herders, so the losses were minor...
In short, there are many kinds of things to do. Manbao feels that being an emperor is really tiring. There is a grand court meeting every ten days, and she can basically hear these problems every time she attends the grand court meeting.
Occasionally there are reports on corrupt officials, etc. In short, there are constant things happening every day, which is really pitiful.
Manbao was lost in thought, and the aftereffects of getting up too early began to appear. She felt her eyelids a little heavy, and the sounds in her ears were getting farther and farther away.
She told herself in her heart that today was different, it was a special day, she had to be happy and watch the whole thing soberly...
So she struggled to open her eyes, raised her head and glanced at the emperor above her with a blank look. Then the emperor became farther and farther away, blurrier and blurrier, and her eyelids drooped again...
It felt like just a moment before someone poked her knee. She suddenly woke up and the sound she thought had disappeared re-entered her ears. She opened her eyes and saw County Magistrate Tang quietly taking back his jade sceptre without even turning his head.
Manbao clenched her hands and held her jade sceptre tightly, then blinked and looked forward, only to find that the person giving the report was Xiao Yuanzheng. She was refreshed and her sleepiness disappeared completely.
The emperor was praising Xiao Yuanzheng and the Imperial Hospital. Naturally, he would give them rewards after the praise. Xiao Yuanzheng had no room for promotion on the surface, so the emperor directly rewarded him with the treatment of a third-rank official. Imperial Physician Lu was promoted one level, and his official position and Imperial Physician Liu were promoted half a level, which was actually directly equal to Xiao Yuanzheng's official position. Because the smallpox prescription was brought back by Zhou Man, and with this contribution, he was granted the title of Township Lord.
The emperor had already drafted a title for her, and directly named her Liyang.
Manbao's eyes lit up, but County Magistrate Guo's heart skipped a beat. Wannian County used to be Liyang County, but Liyang County now belonged to Yongzhou. He didn't know where the 500 households would be divided. If it happened to border Wannian County, what would happen in the future...
County Magistrate Guo went to see Zhou Man, County Magistrate Tang went to see County Magistrate Guo, and Manbao looked at the emperor, very excited and happily knelt down to express his gratitude.
The emperor smiled and asked them to excuse themselves from the formalities. He encouraged them to keep up the good work and spread the vaccine as soon as possible so that the people would be free from the suffering of smallpox in the future.
Of course, the emperor could not just give this reward out of thin air. In fact, except for Zhou Man's reward, which the emperor had thought of long ago, the rewards for others had been discussed with other ministers.
In fact, they argued about this reward all day yesterday.
Of course, Xiao Yuanzheng couldn't participate in this because he was the person involved, so he was a little confused. He thought he was going to be given an honorary title or some other official position. After all, it was impossible to go any higher. But the emperor didn't give him any honorary titles or official positions, and directly let him receive the treatment of the third rank...
I always feel weird and a little scared.
Manbao didn't think much of it at first, but after he excitedly left with Xiao Yuanzheng, he began to feel something was amiss. "Strange! Why didn't His Majesty give you a higher rank and just give you the third rank?"
Xiao Yuanzheng himself was confused, "How should I know?"
Dean Xiao didn't know, but Lord Wei and Lord Tang knew.
County Magistrate Tang also felt strange, so he followed his father out.
Old Master Tang and his men were working in the Imperial City, and they needed to leave the palace. Seeing his son leave the palace and not quickly ride back to his county office, but instead follow him, he turned around and glared at him angrily, then whispered, "Your Majesty wants to separate the Imperial Medical Bureau from the Imperial Rites Temple."
County Magistrate Tang was surprised. "Wouldn't the nine temples then become nine temples and one courtyard?"
"Yes," Old Master Tang said softly as he walked forward slowly with his hands behind his back. "Just like the Imperial College, the Imperial Medical Bureau will be in charge of all local medical offices in the world. It will not only train medical students, but also manage doctors all over the world."
All the scholars in the world were under the jurisdiction of the Imperial College, and the provincial schools, county schools, and even various academies and private schools were also under the jurisdiction of the Imperial College. The emperor wanted to build an independent Imperial Medical Bureau that would not be under the jurisdiction and constraints of the Taichang Temple, the Ministry of Revenue, or even the Taifu Temple.
County Magistrate Tang asked, "Will Zhang Zhengqing agree to this?"
He is the Minister of Taichang Temple.
Old Master Tang said, "If you don't agree, who can defeat Your Majesty now? Furthermore, Your Majesty has brought out the thick memorial submitted by Zhou Man, Bai Shan, and Bai Cheng. Even Master Wei supports the Emperor. Although the amount of money required is too high, I think it is not impossible. If we really do as Zhou Man and his men proposed in their memorial, the people of the world will benefit in the end."
County Magistrate Tang asked, "How much money is too much?"
Old Master Tang smiled and said, "Are you also worried about giving up halfway, wasting all your efforts, and wasting your money?"
County Magistrate Tang said nothing.
Old Master Tang sighed and said, "This is what we are most worried about. However, seeing that Zhou Man is still so young and Bai Shan is not that old either, we feel that if we work on it slowly, we should be able to accomplish it."
Old Master Tang said, "It's just that we are old and may not be able to see it anymore."
County Magistrate Tang: ...
Old Master Tang walked for a while and realized his son hadn't caught up. He turned around and looked at him. "What are you doing there? Since you're here, go get your impeachment letter from me. Then write your defense and send it back to me."
County Magistrate Tang: "... Dad, no, Old Master Tang, I'm such a diligent official, who would be so desperate to impeach me?"
"Yesterday, a frightened horse hit someone in the downtown area of Chang'an County, didn't it?"
County Magistrate Tang: "No, that wasn't a collision. An elderly man was walking across the street when he saw a frightened horse galloping towards him and fell down in fright. I've already made the verdict..."
The father and son argued and walked away, while Manbao followed Xiao Yuanzheng back to the Imperial Hospital. Along the way, he kept bowing and saying "Congratulations, congratulations..."
When he finally returned to the Imperial Hospital, he had to continue celebrating with his colleagues. After everyone had said their congratulations, Manbao went into Dean Xiao's office and asked him, "Dan Zheng, do you want to ask someone about this? I think the reward without a title is very unstable."
Xiao Yuanzheng was also a little depressed. Everyone was promoted, including the half-rank officials. Doctor Zheng and others did not get promoted, but they also received a lot of rewards. Only he got the third-rank treatment for a somewhat unclear reason, but he did not get any additional titles. If he wanted to take back this treatment in the future, it would only take the effort of saying the above sentence.
I still can’t update 10,000 today, I will continue to work hard tomorrow
