Chapter 648 The One Who Has the Final Say

Then Xinbao very seriously asked people to put out the stools.

Baiji asked in confusion, "Master, what kind of stool do you want to put?"

Xinbao said, "For example, if Lord Gan brought ten people, and Xinbao said, 'Please sit down,' wouldn't you have to come out and put out the stools?"

"Oh oh!" Baiji and the others hurried over to set up the table. Yanke and Zhaoke wanted to come over to help, but were rejected by Tuanzi: "No, Xinbao needs professionals, not half-baked ones."

They both: “…”

So Baiji and a few others went back and forth and put out ten stools.

Xinbao thought about it and instructed Yuan Shenjue: "Wife, sit on it."

Yuan Shenjue went over and sat down silently. Xinbao sat on a stool at the edge, tilted his head, looked left, looked right... Then he stood up and moved to another stool, looked left, looked right...

She also invited Hao Huashi: "Xiao Huashi, you come too."

Hao Huashi held back his laughter and came over to sit down, asking, "Master, what are you doing?"

"This is called a drill," Tuanzi taught him, "We can't fall in the same place twice, so we must be fully prepared."

"Oh! I understand." Hao Huashi nodded seriously, and then followed the young master, trying one stool after another.

Wherever Tuanzi tilted his head, he tilted his head too. Tuanzi put his feet on the horizontal bar of the stool, and he also stepped on it... Seeing this, Yuan Shenjue was speechless and asked him: "Do you have any words?"

Hao Huashi said: "No?"

Yuan Shenjue said calmly: "Why not call me Dong Hao?"

Dong Shi? Dong Hao? Hao Huashi said: "I don't want it!!"

Yuan Shenjue: “…”

And the drill was very useful. Tuanzi actually found the problem and turned around and said, "It won't work here, Baiji, don't put the stool here tomorrow. It's too crooked and you might see behind the table!"

Baiji agreed repeatedly.

Xinbao ran over and pointed again: "You will stand at this place tomorrow, just like Fang, the butler of Yeye. If Xinbao forgets anything, just hint to me."

Baiji responded again with a smile on his face.

Tuanzi ran around and looked around. There was nothing to prepare. He was suddenly very excited: "Okay! There will be no problem this time! Let Gan Baibi come quickly!!"

Then she found some time to prepare tea for the adults.

Because those three adults were not very good-looking, in order to raise the average value of their appearance, Xinbao also gave a pack to the good-looking Lord Wei. While doing so, he remembered Lord Zheng who had painted a lot of paintings, so he gave Lord Zheng a pack as well, and then sent someone to deliver it.

The next day, Emperor Mingpei came out of court and had breakfast with Yan Qingshan as usual before calling someone in.

Seeing several people coming in together, Emperor Mingpei subconsciously changed his posture.

He had never thought about the opening remarks of a meeting before. He didn't take it seriously at all and couldn't even recall it. But when Tuanzi asked him so seriously yesterday, he suddenly didn't know what to say first.

So he turned around and asked Fang Wuyou: "Has Gan Baibi gone to Chengqian Palace?"

The almighty Fang had not expected him to ask this question: "I don't know. I will go and ask right away."

Emperor Mingpei waved his hand: "Forget it, no need."

Gan Baibi had actually gone there.

Although Xinbao got up late, they couldn't let the princess wait for them, right? So they went there as soon as the court was over and sat next to Yan Shirong for the time being.

Although Gan Baibi is still a minister, he is the boss of the Medical Department and holds an exclusive status. When he was in Shengping Palace, he had already found two assistants. After he came back, he found three more. This is considered the leadership body of the Medical Department.

Although the Imperial Edict stated that the Medical Department had many responsibilities, many things, such as assessing the world's doctors, could not be accomplished overnight and had to be done slowly.

The most important thing at the moment is the matter of the Imperial Medicine Workshop. The location had been decided before they returned to Beijing, and construction will begin after the draft plan is finalized.

They were all smart people, and after a brief meeting, they reached a consensus.

In fact, for Gan Baibi, the key is that he cannot make the decision on some things here, and he must ask someone for permission... Xinbao is nominally his immediate superior, and he can't go over her head, so when he said he would ask Xinbao for permission, he mainly wanted to let Emperor Mingpei know through Xinbao, and then point him to someone who can have the final say.

So it’s just right that Yan Shirong comes over.

But for example, when it comes to things like how to build a workshop, Tuanzi obviously doesn't understand and isn't interested in it. Besides, since Gan Baibi has already discussed it with the imperial doctors, Yan Shirong can just make the final decision.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

But for example, the drug production process still needs to be professionally certified by Xinbao. There are also some very small details, such as what the medicine bottles look like. Xinbao must be interested in this, so she must be asked about this. Therefore, Gan Baibi also brought a lot of bottles.

Before Xinbao got up, they had already taken the time to hold a small meeting. By the time Xinbao got up, had breakfast, changed into stylish clothes, and got dressed up... and then called people in, they had already arranged everything that needed to be arranged.

Then they entered Xinbao's study.

Although Yan Shirong is the elder brother, Xinbao is nominally of higher status than Yan Shirong, and what is being discussed is her business, so Xinbao still sits in the main seat, and a seat is set up for Yan Shirong next to him, and Yuan Shenjue sits below him.

Hao Huashi and Xue Xuanji also came over and sat behind those people.

With his brother around, Xinbao didn't need to say anything. Everyone was already seated and looked up.

Gan Baibi couldn't help but smile.

Because the table was too high, already above Xinbao's chest, Xinbao crossed his arms on the table and rested his chin on it, looking at them.

Chubby little hands, white little face, big black eyes rolling around, the little butterfly on the little bun trembling... It's as cute as it can be.

Lord Gan was so cute that he couldn't help but smile like an uncle.

Yan Shirong coughed and said, "Lord Gan, let's start."

"Yes," Gan Baibi restrained his attitude and said, "Your Highnesses, I will briefly explain first."

He paused for a moment and flipped open the paper in his hand. "Because the preparation of medicines is too complicated, everyone tends to buy the prepared medicines directly from various drug dealers. What do you think, Your Highness?"

Xinbao thought about it.

The processing of Chinese medicine is indeed quite complicated. First, there are various picking and scraping methods; then there are various cutting methods such as cutting, filing, pounding, grinding, etc.; then there are drying methods such as shade drying, air drying, sun drying, steaming, etc.; water and fire methods such as soaking, boiling, decocting, and stir-frying; and finally there are medicinal juice methods such as soaking in bitter wine, applying honey, and roasting...

Well, it’s possible, but it’s not necessary. If you add these, the Imperial Pharmacy will have to be built very large and employ a lot of people.

Xinbao answered his question seriously: "Xinbao... I also think it's better to buy over-the-counter medicines. But how can we guarantee the quality of over-the-counter medicines? Have you thought about it?"
