Chapter 3128 news from the capital

When Cao Yixuan and Wei Man settled down, Zhou Man looked at Zheng Gu, "You came alone?"

"No, and my wife."

Zhou Man nodded, "I have the guest room cleaned up, you don't stay at the inn, stay at home."

Zheng Gu responded with a smile, and then Zhou Man asked, "Is everything okay over there in the capital?"

Zheng Gu said: "When I came out, the Imperial Physician Office had already selected a place in Yongzhou to build a pharmacy, and the East Palace allocated a piece of land in Huangzhuang to build a pharmacy. The distance between the two places is not very far. It means that after graduation, pharmacy students can choose to go to local medical offices to make prescriptions, they can also go to the pharmacy of the Imperial Physician Department, or they can go to the pharmacy of the East Palace."

Zhou Man tilted his head in confusion, "Is the pharmacy owned by the East Palace? Isn't it the royal family?"

Zheng Gu smiled slightly and said: "When my uncle said that the pharmacy was about to open, several princes and princes came to your Majesty's presence, and they all took this errand. Your Majesty was embarrassed and couldn't make a decision for a while, so he just pretended to be deaf and dumb and pushed him to do it. I don't know about this, it was all done by the Crown Prince alone, so now the pharmacy is under the name of the East Palace."

"That's true, but all the ministers in the DPRK and the royal family know that it was His Majesty's intention." Zheng Gu said, "Penicillin is very valuable. Now this medicine is not easy to produce, and sometimes the pharmacists do not handle it well. The furnace medicine is completely destroyed. In addition to the military, the hospital will always keep some in case of emergency."

He said: "But you also said that this medicine is not suitable for some people, so we will not prescribe such medicine unless we have to. Some adults, especially the generals who will go to the battlefield, always want to take some with them. Therefore, I have been trying to find a way to buy it, and the price of the medicine in private has skyrocketed, almost the same price as ginseng."

But ginseng takes decades, hundreds of years to plant, and people need to discover and dig. If nothing else, the cost of time alone is not low, so its high price is a matter of course.

penicillin...

The cost of this thing is far less than that of ginseng, and the price paid by the Taiyuan Hospital to the military is not very high. After all, it is intended for ordinary soldiers to use it.

But this thing turned one hand and two hands, and it turned out to be a sky-high price. Interests are moving, so so many people want to get their hands on it.

The pharmacies of the Imperial Physician Department are operated by themselves, and the pharmacists are their own students and apprentices. The sales can also be directly connected with the Ministry of War, local medical offices and pharmacies in medical halls, and there is no need for outsiders at all.

So everyone is staring at the pharmacy under the prince's hands.

"Besides the pharmacy, it's Master's book," Zheng Gu did not have the qualifications to go to the court, so he still listened to what his uncle said, and Zhou Man's book caused an uproar in the court, there were discussions in the Imperial Medical Office and the Imperial Hospital, so It's not hard for him to know.

"Most of the courtiers in the DPRK agree with your suggestion, Master. The medical offices of various states provide products and govern the medical offices of each county, but some people object," Zheng Gu said: "The supporters think that with the pharmacy, in the future the imperial medical office will be able to With continuous revenue and the support of the national treasury and His Majesty's internal treasury, the Imperial Physician's Office can continue for a long time."

"People who oppose it think that this is not a long-term solution. The cost of the local medical office is too high, and it is inevitable that some people will forge household registration in order to deceive doctors in the future, or even change from household to household, and from household to household."

Zhou Man twitched the corners of his mouth and asked with a snort, "How did Xiao Yuanzheng respond to them?"

Xiao Yuanzheng couldn't speak at all, and they were quarreling with each other.

Zhou Man snorted: "Next time you write to Xiao Yuanzheng, remember to tell him that if someone else says that, you can ask him to ask if the officials in the county government, as well as the Censor Terrace, Dali Temple are all vegetarians. Is it?"

If you change from the upper household to the lower household, you will catch one if you come, and if you come with a pair, you will fine the other pair, so that you can really change from the upper household to the lower household. See if they are still cheating?

Zheng Gu scratched his head, "Master, you are about to give birth, so don't be angry."

"I'm not angry," Zhou Man waved and asked, "Is there any more?"

Zheng Gu hesitated for a moment and then said: "Master Wei is sick, but before I came, he was already able to go to court. I saw his face, and it was a little bad. I asked my uncle, but he didn't allow me to ask. We also took the pulse case of Lord Wei, and no one is allowed to check it."

He remembered that Master and Master Wei had a good relationship. Master Wei was also the one who strongly supported the delivery of the product by the local medical office, so he felt that he should tell Master.

Zhou Man was stunned for a moment, then fell silent.

Wei Zhi's health was very bad. If it wasn't for the pills she gave, she probably wouldn't have survived the battle of Liaodong the year before.

Seeing her silence, Zheng Gu also fell silent.

After a while, she returned to her senses and asked, "Is there any more?"

Zheng Gu smiled and said, "The rest is our personal business. Master, Xiao Yuan is sending the third junior brother to the pharmacy. If there is no accident, he will be in charge of the pharmacy in the future."

Zhou Man was surprised, "Zheng Shao is young and has only been practicing for two years, so Xiao Yuanzheng can rest assured?"

He smiled and nodded and said, "He's a little worse at diagnosing and prescribing pulses, but he has a much deeper understanding of medicines than we do. His penicillin has the highest success rate, and we've tested it, and the effect is also the best. , the most stable, so Xiao Yuanzheng chose him."

Zhou Man nodded slightly, "When he was in the Imperial Physician's Office, he studied pharmacy the best, and he made better medicines than you."

Zhou Man asked, "Where are Li Ru and Sanniang? How are they?"

They are so good!

Now there are quite a few female doctors in Beijing, and a batch of them graduated last year. In addition to a few in the Taiyuan Hospital, there are also two female doctors in the Chang'an County Medical Office, but because Liu Sanniang and Zhou Liru are Zhou Man's disciples, the two of them are more some welcome.

Facts have also proved that their medical skills are better.

Therefore, the female relatives of wealthy and powerful families in Beijing like to invite them when they are sick.

If you are qualified, you can ask them from the imperial hospital, which is fast and cheap; if you are not qualified, you can ask them in private...

Zheng Gu remembered the lively scene when he saw each family come to invite them in the imperial hospital last time, and sighed: "Compared to our male imperial physicians, it is too popular."

Zhou Man nodded with satisfaction. What she feared most was that female doctors would be excluded from the capital, and it would be difficult to recruit female disciples in the Imperial Physician Office.

The master and the apprentice talked for a long time, and waited for the outside call before they went to have dinner, and then Zheng Gu asked people to take out the things that the families in the capital entrusted him to bring.

Zhou Man was taken aback for a moment, "Strange, didn't the family just ask someone from the palace to bring me something? Why is there still here?"

Zheng Gu thought for a while and said, "I was going to tell them ten days before going out, that the things I got two days in advance, the people in the palace went later than us, it was a temporary departure, we just met on the road and left together, Maybe that was cleaned up later?"

Zhou Man asked people to open it to see what the box was, and found that it was all kinds of children's small clothes, small shoes, and even half a box of diapers.

She was stunned, "I see, it really took time to prepare carefully."
