Mr. Qian was also looking for Zhou Man with a list, "Mr. Zhou, this is the list we will go to Qingzhou City to purchase tomorrow. Do you think there is anything else we need to add?"

Zhou Man took it and glanced at it, then took up the pen and doubled it on the back of the paper. She said: "The autumn harvest is about to end. Once the autumn tax is collected, the number of patients in the medical department will increase. Moreover, Mr. Wen and I have also discussed how to increase the number of patients in the medical department."

There are several medical seminars held in the medical department, which require a lot of paper, so please buy more."

Mr. Qian took the order and said, "Sir, paper has been a bit expensive recently, haven't you noticed? The Medical Department spends too much on paper."

It is more than the expenses of ordinary county government offices.

In Zhou Man's memory, except when she first started to read and Keke was very poor and had no points, she had never worried about paper at other times.

Because the paper in the mall is really cheap.

Even now, when she is too lazy to go out to the bookstore to buy paper, she will buy some paper from the mall. And it cannot be denied that some papers are not available here, but they are available in the mall.

Fortunately, they clean and manage the study by themselves. In May, except for sending some food and drinks, they basically didn't care about the things in the study.

So except Bai Shan, no one knew that there were always extra papers in the study.

Maybe Daji would notice something, but neither of them asked, so Zhou Man automatically assumed that they didn't know.

So… “Paper is expensive?”

Mr. Qian said: "The Jinshi examination is about to take place, and Zheng Erlang of Xingyang has written a new poem. The paper is even more expensive."

Zhou Man: "...That's a lie. Will paper become more expensive now just because of a poem?"

This is not like the previous times when production was very low.

Mr. Qian nodded seriously and said, "It's true."

Zhou Man touched his chin, "Speaking of Zheng Erlang from Xingyang... his name isn't Zheng Fei, right?"

Mr. Qian looked at her in surprise, "It's Mr. Zheng Erlang. Don't you recognize him?"

Zheng Fei's reputation was not small. He thought that even if he had never met Zhou Man, who married into a noble family, he should know about it.

"You didn't say your name, so I didn't realize it for a moment," Zhou Man said, "but when it comes to Zheng Fei, I'm familiar with it."

She has been treating his head for a long time, and I don’t know how he is doing now...

"Is he now in the capital or in Xingyang?"

"This poem was written in Xingyang."

It seems that he did not take the Jinshi Examination this year.

Zhou Man thought thoughtfully. His Majesty obviously wanted to use him. He asked about this matter last year. She thought he would take the Jinshi examination this year.

However, she soon stopped thinking about Zheng Fei. After asking about the price of paper in the Qingzhou City Bookstore, she went to visit the bookstores in the county.

The paper in bookstores is a little more expensive than that in bookstores. Although Zheng Fei's poem has not had a great impact on remote counties, the paper in Qingzhou City is expensive, and the bookstores in Qingzhou City that buy paper can only

Then the price went up.

Zhou Manzheng felt that the impact of that poem was not very great. As soon as he turned around, he saw a group of scholars crowding into the bookstore, asking for the best paper.

"This poem by Zheng Erlang needs the best paper to be worthy of it."

"That makes sense."

"The news from our Beihai County is still lagging behind a lot. If Brother Song hadn't copied it back from Qingzhou City, we wouldn't have known that Zheng Erlang had written such a poem."

Zhou Man couldn't help but go back and ask Bai Shan, "What poem did Zheng Erlang write? It seems to be very powerful."

Bai Shan rummaged around on the desk and pulled out a poem for him to read, "The county magistrate Lu wrote to share with me two days ago. It is indeed a good article, with brilliant literary talent, which makes you forget the customs.

."

Zhou Man took it and looked at it but felt a little uncomfortable, "Does he... want to hide from the world?"

Bai Shan nodded, "I feel the same way. Zheng Erlang has an uncle who is now obsessed with seeking Taoism. I heard that he taught Zheng Erlang when he was a child."

Zhou Man sighed and said, "No wonder he is not in the capital. It seems that he really will not take part in this year's Jinshi examination. Your Majesty must be very sad because he has lost a good talent."

Bai Shan also felt sorry, but it was everyone's choice. Although he knew Zheng Fei, he was not very familiar with him, so he was more concerned about the current affairs.

"Your Highness has written a letter. He is about to return to Beijing. He has cut off the road from Jiangnan to the Taiyuan area to transport official salt. Now he has taken over this road. I will start supplying salt to them."

"How to give money?"

Bai Shandao: "Although the prince helped me, in order to seize this market, I decided to slightly lower the price of official salt."

Zhou Man nodded. It seemed that the county government was not short of money, but her medical department was.

However, the finances of both parties are separate. Although Bai Shan is willing to support the medical industry, other local medical offices are obviously not able to do so.

She came to Qingzhou to build a medical office to formalize the local medical office, so she did not ask Bai Shan for help. She decided to figure it out on her own first.

But it's still okay to come up with ideas. "What do you think our medical office makes some pills to sell?"

"Okay, but who are you going to sell to? Aren't you worried that you will take away the business of the medical center and pharmacy?"

Zhou Man said: "I make pills that they don't have."

In terms of types of pills, no pharmacy or medical clinic in the world can compare to the Imperial Medical Office, right?

They must have the most prescriptions in the world.

But to whom should it be sold?

Zhou Man thought about it and couldn't help but sigh, "Paper is too expensive."

Bai Shan couldn't help but look at her, "You also lamented like this. What a coincidence, I also lamented that paper is very expensive today. But..."

He glanced outside the door and saw that Daji was not there either, so he whispered in her ear and asked: "Don't you have a way to get paper with good quality and cheap price?"

Zhou Man's heart moved, "Do you also think I can buy a large amount of paper and sell it to the medical department?"

Now that they have grown up and have their own power, there are many ways to cover up this kind of thing. Even without Bai Shan's help, Zhou Man can do it by himself, just spend two more efforts.

Bai Shan couldn't help but smile and narrowed his eyes, lowering his voice and said: "Since it is a good thing, why not learn it and do it ourselves, otherwise we have to waste effort and things to exchange with others every time, which is so troublesome."

He looked at Zhou Man with bright eyes and whispered: "You can leave good things to my father-in-law for his own use. There is no need to spend money on such things."

He has also used Zhouman paper, most of which are similar to what they are using now, but a few are very different.

Judging from Man Bao's attitude towards using paper, this thing should not be expensive. In addition, the things she brought out from that world were far better than those in this world, so he felt that the manufacturing process there was stronger.

Although Man Bao never talked about that world, Bai Shan also inferred that he knew a lot about it. He was no longer willing to call it the underworld, but another world.

He felt that maybe what was said in the book of ghost stories might be true. That world not only had ghosts and gods, but also fairies and the like, so it had a very rich composition, just like their world.

Thinking of this, Bai Shan sighed, "I wonder if we will be able to enter that world a hundred years from now..."

Zhou Man:...This is a bit difficult, and she can’t answer it. She doesn’t know what life will be like after death.
