Man Bao ran back to Chongwen Hall. Xiao Yuanzheng and the others were checking the list. Seeing Zhou Man being so leisurely, he couldn't help but ask her with a straight face: "Mr. Zhou, have you finished the list you are responsible for?"

"It's done." Man Bao turned out the list she had written and showed it to them.

Everyone: ...It’s so fast. It’s obviously the same workload.

Man Bao placed the list on the table, dragged a chair to sit next to Xiao Yuanzheng who was busy, and smiled at him with a straight face.

Xiao Yuan felt a chill in his heart. He was writing, but he still turned his back half way to avoid her gaze.

Man Bao said diligently: "Xiao Yuanzheng, do you want me to help you write it?"

Xiao Yuanzheng originally wanted to push the work at hand to her, but seeing her like this, he immediately shook his head and said that he could do it without her help.

Manbao was a little disappointed.

She raised her head and looked around, seeing everyone looking at her intentionally or unintentionally, she felt that this was not the place to talk, so she asked Xiao Yuanzheng, "Xiao Yuanzheng, how about we go out and talk?"

Xiao Yuanzheng said with a serious and impartial face: "If you have anything to say, please say it here. We can tell others everything."

"Having said that, the matter has not been decided yet. I don't want too many people to hear it," Man Bao lowered his voice and said in a low voice, "I just came back from the Empress."

Xiao Yuanzheng wanted to continue to maintain his uprightness, but he really wanted to know what Zhou Man was inciting the queen to do again.

After struggling for a while, he sighed and put down his pen, stood up and went out with her.

Therefore, it is really not a good thing to have a subordinate who is similar in age to his youngest daughter and eldest granddaughter, especially if this subordinate is also very popular with his immediate boss, and it is even more annoying that many things can be discussed with the top boss without him.

He followed Manbao outside, sighed and asked, "Tell me, what's the matter."

Manbao told Xiao Yuanzheng exactly what the Queen had discussed with her, and she said, "Didn't the household department refuse to approve the medicine list we listed earlier?"

Xiao Yuanzheng: "They feel that using such expensive medicines for teaching students is a waste of money. Even if I said that these medicines can be used repeatedly for teaching, they would not agree to buy them."

Man Bao: "So our Imperial Medical Office needs to have its own small treasury, so that we can buy the notes ourselves if the Ministry of Household Affairs does not approve them."

Xiao Yuanzheng's eyebrows moved, "You mean to get money from those adults' homes?"

Man Bao nodded, "They want private doctors, so we can train them and pay them."

Xiao Yuanzheng frowned and said: "In this way, wouldn't the skills be passed on?"

"Oh, how long has this been? Do you still want to keep your skills from being passed on to others?" Man Bao said, "Don't forget, there are doctors from foreign countries in the Imperial Medical Office. After they finish their studies, they have to return to their own countries and

Tribal people, are you afraid that those sent by aristocratic families will learn medical skills?"

Xiao Yuanzheng thought the same thing. It was obvious that he couldn't stop him. At most, he would just leave his own housekeeping skills and not teach others.

Man Bao was still talking happily, "...I think your husband is right. You just care too much about your housekeeping skills. Like me, I don't care."

Xiao Yuanzheng raised his eyelids to look at her and let out an almost inaudible groan.

Man Bao didn't realize it and continued: "This is like people in ancient times making fire. The first person knew the benefits of fire. If he hid it and didn't tell anyone, and knew it by himself, what's the use? He

He could only wait for the sky fire to come and save the fire, but he told others, and many people knew about it. When the sky fire went out one day, someone came up with a way to make fire by drilling wood..."

Xiao Yuanzheng couldn't understand what Zhou Man was talking about at all, and could only watch her mouth open and close blankly, "What if the person who figured out how to drill wood to make fire also hid it and didn't tell others?"

, then he may only have this method for the rest of his life. Once he dies, no one will know about this method. I don’t know how many years it will take for the second person to figure out this method."

"But he told others, and this method can be passed down, and then the next person may discover flint and steel. It is because of these ancestors one after another that we now have flint and steel that can make fire at any time.

"Zhezi." Man Bao finally finished the foreshadowing and then gave the result, "So the medical skills are the same. We can teach each other with everything we have and teach powerful disciples. In the future, they will not have to just study the former to stay."

With the lower level of medical skills, we can also think about delving into the heights we have not yet reached. One by one, one generation after another, one generation after another, we will always develop more powerful medical skills than we have now."

This was what she came up with recently after briefly studying the history of medical development with Teacher Mo. She had once wondered why Teacher Mo's medical skills were so powerful at that time.

In the past, she had only studied the development and evolution history of ancient Chinese medicine. This was the first time she came into contact with the development history of general medicine. Only then did she realize that these people were still too narrow-minded.

The narrow-minded Xiao Yuanzheng couldn't understand Man Bao's words, so he asked confusedly, "What is heavenly fire, what is making fire by drilling wood?"

Man Bao: "...haven't you read history books? It is said that the first time ancient humans learned to use fire was because of heavenly fire."

Xiao Yuanzheng: "...I'm not a historian. Why should I, a medical doctor, study such ancient history? And which history book is this written in? Why haven't I heard of it?"

Manbao scratched his head. Could it be that she had mixed up the history books produced by the encyclopedia and the history books of this world?

She will never admit it!

Man Bao said: "I don't remember, but there is anyway. No, this is not a problem. Shouldn't you be thinking about whether what I said makes sense?"

Xiao Yuanzheng waved his hand directly, "Okay, we are talking about collecting money. It has nothing to do with this matter. You said you want to give ten places to those aristocratic families and powerful people?"

Well, Man Bao could only change the topic and think about the most important thing at the moment. She nodded and said: "Yes, all the money earned will be placed in the Imperial Medical Office."

Xiao Yuanzheng asked, "How to collect this money?"

Man Bao and him looked at each other with big eyes and small eyes. Man Bao had no experience, and Xiao Yuanzheng certainly didn't either.

The two stared at each other for a while, and then Manbao said loudly, "One hundred taels per person per year!"

Xiao Yuanzheng: "...what are you dreaming about? Who is willing to spend so much money to train a servant?"

Man Bao: "How much can you say?"

Xiao Yuanzheng stroked his beard and said: "Half, fifty taels?"

That's a lot, and you can buy a lot of medicinal materials.

Man Bao frowned and said, "How many years will you study?"

In eight years, four hundred taels would be enough for a family of five to live a prosperous life, which seems to be quite a lot.
