Chapter 668: Follow Xinbao and Live Forever

The main thing is that the Ministry of Medicine is different from the six ministries.

For example, if the six ministries need to execute something, they can just let the officials at each level do it.

But the Ministry of Medicine has many things to do, which are too professional and require precise requirements. Letting local officials do it is troublesome, too many variables, and time-consuming... Can't local officials recruit a group of doctors? The level of folk doctors varies, and it may not be successful in the end.

Therefore, many things need to be done by the Ministry of Medicine itself, with the help of imperial physicians.

For example, the current tasks include finding herbs and trees, encouraging donations of medicine, recruiting people to test the medicine, and selecting people to make alchemy... and the tasks to be done later include assessing doctors all over the world, etc., all of which require the Ministry of Medicine to send people to do them.

This person must be able to lead troops and get things done. He must be both good at civil affairs and good at military affairs.

Yan Shirong smiled and said, "You said that this job is for you, who else can do it?"

Yuan Yaogui also smiled and said, "You said I can do it, how dare I say no? But I am still a little unsure."

"It's okay," Yan Shirong said, "In the medical department, Xinbao has the final say. If you can talk to Xinbao, the medical field won't be bad, and everything else will be easy to talk about."

Yuan Yao returned to thank him and accepted the offer.

In the evening he asked Yuan Xiang.

Yuan Xiang said, "I will issue an order tomorrow to build the Rangshan Guards and send a thousand men from the Longxiang, Huben, and Yulin corps."

Yuan Yaogui was stunned: "Build a guard post?"

He thought that they would just transfer a few hundred people from the four guards to be dispatched by the Medical Department, but now they want to build a separate guard? Yuan Yaogui asked: "Why is it so fussy?"

Yuan Xiang asked him: "Do you know why this guard is called Rangshan Guard?"

Yuan Yaogui was stunned for a moment, and then he understood.

Although the Medical Department has a medicinal field, the place is not called Rangshan.

The original meaning of "Rang" is mature crops, which actually means a good harvest. Although Xinbao is known as a miracle doctor, what she is good at is not only "medicine", but also "herbs".

The reason why it is called the Ministry of Medicine instead of the Ministry of Herbs is, firstly, to distinguish it from the Ministry of Households, and secondly, it has a better reputation and will not encounter any resistance.

But Emperor Mingpei has obviously seen higher and farther goals.

But Xinbao is still too young, and he doesn’t want to put any pressure on her, so he paves the way for her first and lets everything take its course.

Yuan Yao was so excited when he returned to the family!! Seeing that he understood, Prime Minister Yuan did not say anything more, but said: "I will devote my whole life to this. After ten years, maybe my Yuan family will no longer be just the home of the Emperor's Master."

After all, if one could pass down one's reputation through the ages with Xin Bao, the glory would far exceed the title of "Emperor's Teacher".

Yuan Yaogui agreed solemnly.

The next day, the decree was indeed issued.

Rangshan Guard was established, with three thousand households under its jurisdiction, and it was under the Ministry of Medicine.

At the same time, Yuan Yaogui was appointed general and temporarily took over the post of commander of the guards.

It's a weird thing to assign an army to a civil service institution... The court was immediately in an uproar. Of course, they didn't dare to say anything bad about the little princess, but they kept saying that it was unsafe, unnecessary, and so on.

Emperor Mingpei had only one attitude: you guys can argue as you please, if I listen to it, I lose. Besides, he already has a crown prince, if he doesn’t want to listen after a few words, he will just walk away…

While the civil officials were arguing, Yuan Yaogui had already taken a very positive attitude and went to the various guards to lead the people.

Xiang Xiaodong came out to receive him personally, and said to him, "The Rangshan Guard will have to run around in the future. I have picked some young ones for you. In addition, the Duke said that there is a Shen Hebi who is familiar with the young prince. He is now a centurion and has been promoted for three years. He is very smart and capable. Should I transfer a thousand households to your guard?"

Yuan Yaogui is now often in the military camp, and he doesn't know anything about the news in the capital. Seeing him so thoughtful, he was a little surprised, but he smiled and said, "Your Excellency is very generous, and I am very grateful, but I dare not be greedy and snatch your capable men away."

This means that we don't need officials like Qianhu anymore. After all, only those who are promoted by ourselves are more useful.

Xiang Xiaodong didn't say much, just nodded.

Soon, Yuan Yaogui came out with 1,120 men from the Longxiong Guard.

A thousand-household unit has ten hundred-household units under its jurisdiction. The number of personnel is not fixed. Any unit with more than 900 to 1120 can be called a thousand-household unit. Xiang Xiaodong really gave the maximum salary and gave enough face.

The key point is that the Longxiong Guard was originally the leader of the four guards. After he did this, would the Huben and Yulin have the nerve to give less? Or give less? So they all gave him the highest amount, and they were all elite soldiers and generals. The commander of the Yulin Army also generously gave him the Qianhu Division where he was at the time.

However, both Huben and Yulin were given ready-made thousand households.

After all, the Ministry of Medicine is a very attractive opportunity. Unless they are stupid, they would not take the opportunity to send one of their own over.

It’s not surprising that Yuan Yao returned.

Now that the people were in his hands, Yuan Yao let them get familiar with each other, first met up with Gan Baibi, and went to the palace to meet his immediate superior.

Xinbao is practicing Qinggong.

Now, the number of poles for her practice has increased to more than 600. The entire route extends from Fuzhen Palace, Chengqian Palace to Guilan Garden in front. The three places can be practiced separately or connected. Sometimes Madam Lin will secretly practice in the palace.

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

So before the two of them arrived at Chengqian Palace, they saw a group of people flying among the flowers, plants and pavilions... It was still Xinbao who was running, with Hao Huashi and Yuan Shenjue on each side.

Seeing them, Xinbao greeted them happily: "Master Gan! Good morning!"

Yuan Yaogui ignored him.

Before Gan Baibi could say anything, she ran away again, saying as she ran: "Xinbao, you can't stop! If you stop, you will be punished! What's the matter?"

Gan Baibi could only raise his voice and said, "Your Highness, I am fine. It is Master Yuan who wants to come to see Your Highness."

Xinbao muttered strangely: "Master Yuan? Which Master Yuan?"

She glanced at Yuan Shenjue beside her.

Guilan Garden is not big, and he quickly ran over here. When Xinbao took a look at the "Lord Yuan", his breath was cut off, and he stepped into the air, and was caught by Hao Huashi.

Tuanzi stretched out his little arms and pointed at him vigorously: "Brother Da-Da Yuan?"

Yuan Yaogui covered his face and then bowed silently.

Tuanzi got off the ground, walked over, raised his hand and pulled his arm apart, looked at it carefully, and then said weakly: "Life is right, did it to you?"

Yuan Yaogui: "..."

He nodded: "Yes, I did it."

Tuanzi's face was so ugly that even Yuan Shenjue couldn't help laughing.

Yuan Yaogui had just entered the military camp, and it was time for him to show his abilities. He didn’t even come back for the New Year, which means I haven’t seen him for over a year. Not only has he become much darker, he’s also lost a lot of weight… He was clearly a handsome young man before, but now when we meet, I can see his big white teeth and a hint of naivety.

Xinbao held his hand and said, "Come with me."

Yuan Yaogui was led away silently, and then Xinbao led him to the front. When he saw Madam Lin, she said seriously: "Mother, this man is Mr. Gan's cousin. Do you think he looks like Brother Yuan?"

Mrs. Lin believed it and said, "Oh? They really look a bit alike."

Yuan Yaogui: "..."

Several people outside were having a hard time trying to hold back their laughter.
