As soon as Dr. Zhang entered the imperial study and heard His Majesty's roar, he immediately panicked.
Who said Master Ning's condition has worsened? !
He probably didn't say anything when he asked the guards to report it just now, right?
"Your Majesty, Master Ning is fine. I am not here because of Master Ning's illness."
Doctor Zhang felt very anxious about the heating and steaming room, but this matter needed to be announced in advance.
Otherwise, Master Ning's condition will deteriorate and the hospital envoy will be responsible for his guilt.
We can't convict him of a serious crime before he has said anything, and then drag him out and behead him. Is he unjust?
When Zhou Qian heard what Doctor Zhang said, he was stunned for a moment, and then he slammed the table.
"Bold! You are the personal physician in charge of Ning Aiqing's injury. No matter how big the emergency is, how important is Ning Aiqing's injury? What crime should you be guilty of leaving your post without permission? I want to hear how serious your emergency is. urgent?"
Don't blame Zhou Qian for getting angry.
Really, apart from seeing patients, what other urgent matters do the doctors of the Imperial Hospital have to report?
If the imperial doctor is out there, it can be said that he has discovered or foresees any infectious diseases this winter and has come here to report them.
The imperial physician who had been staying at Princess Xian's residence these days could hardly think of anything else to say that he needed to urgently see him in person, except that Ning Aiqing was in an emergency.
Phew!
The emperor's power frightened Dr. Zhang to the ground immediately. He did not dare to be mysterious and immediately told what Ning Wuchang said when he was taking a bath, adding some of his own insights and uses.
"...Your Majesty, the heated steam room is indeed conducive to improving the physical level of the people. Even though Wei Chen is an imperial doctor who treats diseases, Wei Chen has always believed that prevention of physical diseases should be more important than cure."
"Weichen believes that this matter can be widely promoted in severe cold areas, and it can also allow ordinary people to experience the benefits of heated rooms. Similarly, those wealthy people can use centralized heating and steam therapy to avoid excessive waste of heating."
After listening to Dr. Zhang's words, Zhou Qian realized that his knowledge was limited.
I really misunderstood Dr. Zhang.
"Su Peiyuan, help Dr. Zhang get up."
Zhou Qian tapped his fingers on the table, thinking carefully about Doctor Zhang's proposal.
Heated steam room... If Ning Aiqing is injured, she only needs to heat up the room to take a bath, so she doesn't have to worry about health problems.
So.
The rich people who used to wash their hands every now and then would probably follow suit.
Ordinary people are reluctant to buy a radiator, but rich people can take hot baths every day.
Such a chasm-like gap can indeed easily cause some unstable things to happen.
Even if the heated steam room entertains guests by class, even if there is a gap between rich and poor, as long as ordinary people can get benefits and increase their income in all aspects, it is indeed a good proposal.
"Mr. Zhang, did Ning Aiqing ask you to come?"
Zhou Qian thought of sending Su Peiyuan to Princess Xian's mansion, and he was deeply moved when he got a reply so quickly.
"Master Ning has recently changed his medicine. He is not resting well and cannot sleep at night. He has no intention of paying attention to this matter, so he asked Wei Chen to come and report the matter."
Hearing what Dr. Zhang said, he couldn't help but feel that Ning Aiqing was trying to relieve his worries, so he couldn't sleep at night and felt a little self-blame in his heart.
Although the benefits brought about by the heated steam room are not too much for the Ministry of Industry.
But Zhou Qian was also satisfied.
Ning Aiqing was really thoughtful in being able to remember what he told her even when she was injured.
"Since Ning Aiqing asked you to come, you have worked hard these days. When the envoy from the Taiyuan Hospital arrived, I told him that you will be responsible for this matter. First, I went to the palace and tried to find an unused palace. Ensure the safety of the medicinal bath and control the cost. Doctor Zhang, I hope you will remember your original intention. If you raise the price secretly and deceive the superiors and subordinates, I will reward you for your merits and severely punish you for your mistakes!"
"I will definitely live up to the emperor's favor!"
When the hospital envoy came in a hurry.
I didn’t see His Majesty getting angry.
But seeing the monarch and his ministers talking harmoniously, the monk who was two feet tall was immediately confused.
I don’t understand why Doctor Zhang, who has always had little presence in front of His Majesty, suddenly caught His Majesty’s attention and gained favor.
After His Majesty finished talking about the heated steam room, the Imperial Hospital envoy felt unspeakably envious.
If someone's luck comes, there's really no way they can stop it.
Just like Dr. Zhang, he climbed onto the blue clouds with just one step.
Setting up a heated steam room in the palace will give Dr. Zhang a great sense of presence in front of the nobles in the palace. If there is anything they don’t understand about the heated steam room outside the palace, everyone will naturally ask Dr. Zhang for advice. .
Leave the Imperial Study Room.
The envoy from the imperial hospital who never looked directly at Dr. Zhang smiled at him and kept congratulating him: "Little... Dr. Zhang, you have reached the sky in one step this time. You have been taking care of Mr. Ning day and night these past few days. As expected, you are still there." In return.”
"Taking care of Master Ning is one's duty in itself. The envoy has given you too much praise. In terms of hard work, it is more difficult for Princess Xian and Master. I am just the one who gives the medicine."
Dr. Zhang bowed his hands with great etiquette.
From the change in the name of the hospital envoy to him, he knew that his status in Taiyuan Hospital would also change.
as expected.
When the Imperial Hospital envoy saw that he was rising rapidly, he was still able to respect himself and was not arrogant, especially since he was not yet thirty and was young and frivolous, yet he was so steady and a good young man.
"Xiao Zhang, at the end of the year, the Vice-President will retire and return to his hometown. At that time, I will recommend you to Your Majesty to succeed the Vice-President and become my right-hand man. Are you willing?"
"Thank you for your support, sir!"
The two imperial doctors looked at each other and smiled, then walked out of the palace gate one after another and went straight to the Ministry of Works.
In the imperial study room.
After Zhou Qian and Dr. Zhang left, he sat at the table for a while, looking at the fallen leaves outside the glass window, lost in thought.
"Your Majesty, have you still found the memorial from Prefect Jiang?"
It wasn't until Su Peiyuan reminded him that he suddenly came back to his senses, pinched his brows, saw the memorial that Su Peiyuan had found, and took it easily.
After seeing Jiang Yan's memorial delivered this morning, he responded to Su Rui's letter and wrote to subsidize veterans and increase training to cope with changes.
Before the end of the year, when he wrote down the total tax expenditure of Jinling Mansion for the three autumn months on the memorial, he still didn't understand Jiang Yan's intention.
"Jinling Prefecture has raided a large number of merchants. I am also worried that it will be difficult for Jiang Yan to be the prefect and it will be difficult to collect taxes. It will be difficult to fill the vacancies with just the Ning family's shop. Unexpectedly, there are still two brushes under Jiang Yan's rule. Except for the difference in the monthly tax of the Ning family in that month, the other two months are double tax, and the tax revenue of Jinling Mansion is much higher than that of the capital city."
The high taxes in the capital are due to the large amount of foreign trade.
When Zhou Qian read the memorial again, Jiang Yan specifically pointed out that the increase in taxes was due to the Ning family's leading role, and the many emerging businesses derived from Ping'an Wine, which led to such a significant achievement.
And mentioned in the memorial.
As Jinling Prefecture’s business gradually flourished, businessmen from various countries came and went more and more, and various conflicts and battles followed. I hope that Your Majesty can grant an amnesty to Jinling Prefecture to increase the number of troops stationed and government officials, or to invite trained personnel during major chamber of commerce activities. Su's veterans will cooperate with the government to act. This fee can be paid by the Jinling Mansion or paid by the Chamber of Commerce.
When Zhou Qian saw that Jiang Yan's plan to raise veterans was all on those merchants, he couldn't help laughing and scolding them as "chicken thieves."
