After Wang Bi and others left, Chunwei kicked off and selected many available talents for the court to fill the vacancies in the court!
"Husband seems to be in a good mood today, but what's the happy event?"
After the morning court, Ying Feiyu went to Guanghua Hall for breakfast. Wang Wan saw his smiling face and asked curiously.
"Haha! The Spring Festival is over, and many talents have been selected. They are all good prospects!"
Ying Feiyu took a spoonful of soup and smiled happily.
"My husband proposes to establish the imperial examination, and every time he can select many talents for the court!"
Rosa echoed, fully agreeing with this move.
If Loulan and the others could adopt this method in the past, they would definitely develop faster!
"Yes, the imperial court implements a retirement policy. Many officials retire from their positions every year, so there must be new people to fill the vacancies!"
The imperial examination has many benefits, which are very beneficial to the people and the court.
"Husband, dad and the others have been walking for so long, but I don't know if they have reached Yizhou yet?"
Zhang Xi didn't understand anything about the imperial examination. She was worried about her father's safety.
Traveling so far across the ocean, I don’t know if I encountered any wind or waves!
Seeing the little girl pouting and absentmindedly picking up the fish in the bowl, she consoled her: "Don't worry, I just received a telegram from my two father-in-laws when I went to court, saying that I have seen the Yizhou Continent and there is no need for it." How long will it take to arrive!”
Hearing this, the little girl's eyes immediately lit up, "Husband, you are not trying to coax me, are you?"
"How could I make a joke about this?"
"How come it's such a coincidence that as soon as I asked, dad happened to send a telegram?"
The little girl was so surprised, she was afraid it was false news.
"You father and daughter have a spiritual connection!"
"Great, great, dad finally arrived safely!"
Zhang Xi jumped up so happily that even the chopsticks she had just placed on the table were knocked off the ground.
"Husband, what else did father and the others say in the telegram?"
Wang Wan was worried, for fear that Ying Feiyu would report good news but not bad news.
“They say the freshly caught hairtail is very tender and have a completely different texture from frozen ones! They say the spicy crab tastes better!”
Mentioning this, Ying Feiyu felt helpless.
Are these two old guys going to inquire about the situation, or are they going for a picnic?
Even Wang Wan felt that her face was full of black lines and she was very embarrassed.
They worry here day and night for fear of encountering any danger.
But my father was eating, drinking and having fun, and was very happy!
"Didn't you say anything else?"
"I told you! They said they found a strange fish. It's very big and sprays water from its back. Do you know it?"
"Um...do you know that husband?"
Having said this, Wang Wan was convinced that nothing unexpected happened to her father, and she was still in the mood to watch the strange fish.
"Of course! That's a whale!"
Ying Feiyu immediately gave the correct explanation.
People in this era rarely went to sea, so they rarely saw whales. They knew little about this fish, so much so that the two old guys thought they had encountered some monster!
But in later generations, even children knew the name of this animal!
"Husband, why does that fish spray water?"
Knowing that they were all safe, the women's attention immediately shifted to the strange fish mentioned in the telegram.
"Because whales can't breathe with their gills..."
The topic has reached this point, and Ying Feiyu gave the girls some knowledge about the ocean.
Everyone chatted while eating, and it lasted for an hour. It wasn't until the chamberlain came to report Chunyu Yi and asked for an audience that it was over!
Ying Feiyu met Chun Yuyi in the main hall of Guanghua Hall.
"I see you, Your Majesty!"
"No courtesy! I'm entering the palace today, but what's the matter?"
Chunyu Yi has an official position in name, but he is in charge of the medical school and does not need to participate in the morning court at all. There is no need to participate in court affairs on weekdays, and he rarely enters the palace.
If you come here today, you must have something important to report.
So Ying Feiyu didn't waste any time and asked directly!
"Back to Your Majesty, tens of millions of copies of penicillin have been produced according to Your Majesty's request!"
Chun Yuyi reported with joyful face.
Since Longxi Huangsha, Ying Feiyu transferred all penicillin to treat the affected people, and at the same time verified the miraculous effect of penicillin.
After that, orders were given to expand production and produce tens of millions of copies within a year.
The purpose of this is to prevent someone from trying to raise the price due to low output, causing people who really need it to be unable to buy it!
"good……!"
Hearing the news, Ying Feiyu stood up happily, "Immediately distribute penicillin to public hospitals in various places and let local doctors use the medicine according to their discretion! And be sure to do a sensitivity test in advance!"
Although penicillin is very effective, not everyone can use it. It must be tested to ensure that no allergic reaction will occur.
Once the medication is taken blindly, allergies may occur, ranging from acute urticaria to bronchial asthma and other symptoms.
In severe cases, anaphylactic shock can also cause serious damage to internal organs!
"yes!"
Chunyu Yi nodded and drank.
"Penicillin is a consumable product. Not only can we not stop it, but we must increase production!"
Penicillin is an antibiotic, not an elixir. It cannot cure all diseases.
A patient may need multiple injections of penicillin to recover.
So penicillin will continue to be produced!
"good!"
Chunyu Yi nodded repeatedly.
"After the decentralization of penicillin, the quantity must be strictly recorded. How many penicillins each doctor prescribed, which patients were given, and what conditions were treated must be recorded in detail and sent back to the medical school for verification to prevent anyone from cheating on it and selling it privately. penicillin!"
Ying Feiyu explained.
"yes……!"
Chun Yuyi accepted the order, and then asked the most critical question, "Your Majesty, I wonder what the price of penicillin should be?"
Penicillin has just achieved mass production, but its extraction cost is still very high!
Ying Feiyu thought for a moment, stretched out a finger, "Let's price it one gold!"
"What? One gold?"
This price was unexpected by Chun Yuyi.
He thought that no matter how low it was, it couldn't be lower than the cost price, right?
"Your Majesty, it is not easy to produce penicillin. The cost alone is more than ten gold. If you price it at one gold, wouldn't it mean that for every one you sell, you will lose nine gold, or even more?"
The medical school and the penicillin factory are His Majesty's private property. If they are sold at this price, Your Majesty will be at a loss soon.
I know that your Majesty's family has a great business, but you can't bear such a loss, right?
Not to mention expanding production, even if according to the current production progress, tens of millions of pieces are produced every year, His Majesty will lose 90 million gold.
This money is enough to build four thousand miles of railway!
"The average salary for young workers in the factory is ten golds per month, while the elderly and female workers can only get five or six golds! At current prices, a few doses of penicillin will cost them one month's salary if they get sick, and the pressure is still there. It’s very big, let alone selling it at cost. It’s estimated that not many ordinary people can afford it, and it won’t benefit the people at all!”
Ying Feiyu can make money in other ways, but for these most basic medical and education aspects, he can keep the prices as low as possible.
Other basic necessities, food, clothing, housing and transportation are the icing on the cake. If you have money, you can spend it. If you don’t have money, you don’t have to buy it.
But medical treatment is not good. If there is no money to buy medicine, people will die.
What Great Qin lacks most now is population, so it is trying every means to develop the population.
Cultivate medical talents, build public hospitals, and improve doctors' medical skills in order to extend the life of the people and increase the population!
We must not just watch people give up treatment because of high drug prices!
