Xiang Nan's Yixiaotang and Shiweitian have done well since they opened.
In Yixiaotang, all the patients come here to admire the name of Miracle Doctor Xiang Nan. Although it was not him who was sitting in the hall, but Defu. However, with the title of the miraculous doctor's direct disciple, Defu was still able to suppress him.
In addition, Defu's medical skills are indeed very good, much higher than those of the imperial doctors, so he has cured many patients, making Yixiaotang's reputation growing.
Food is the most important thing, and it is because of the support of the prince, that his relatives, friends, colleagues, subordinates, disciples and former officials, etc. all come here because of the reputation. It has almost become the designated reception unit of the imperial court, and it is difficult to keep the business quiet.
In addition, Sai Xishi is really good at cooking, so he quickly conquered the stomachs of young and old in the capital. From the opening of the market at noon to the listing of the market in the evening, there is almost no leisure time.
As for Peide Medical School, it is also very good. Xiang Nan takes three hours of classes every day. From Si hour to two quarters of noon in the morning, and from Shen time to two quarters of You hour in the afternoon.
Teaching about medical books, pulse diagnosis, prescriptions, acupuncture... Xiang Nan is full of real materials, so it is not difficult to teach these students.
As for the students, when they first came here, they actually didn't think highly of Xiang Nan.
After all, most of their ancestors were imperial doctors or famous medical experts in the capital. For example, among them is Le Jingyu, the third young master of the Tong Ren Tang Le Family, who was the prototype of the TV series "The Mansion Gate".
And Xiang Nan is just a country doctor. Even if he has read some lost medical books and knows some wonderful ways to treat diseases. But Tu Langzhong is Tu Langzhong, and it is impossible to compare with the children of these aristocratic families.
But when they saw that Xiang Nan had hanged himself and revived a woman who had lost her breath with just a piece of green onion, and that he had cured years of headaches with just a stick of mugwort, they had no choice but to change their minds and admire him one after another. When you get up, you will naturally learn more seriously.
…
"Old man, that's really good. Combined with our laughter and food, we made forty-six taels of silver today." Hu Suhua said happily, thinking about the abacus, "If we keep this up, we can make a lot of money this year." Twenty thousand taels of silver. Oh, what an unexpected thing."
In Cangzhou, they only earned three to five taels of silver a day. After excluding capital, wages, and daily expenses, they could not save more than 200 taels of silver in a year. Unexpectedly, as soon as he came to the capital, he would switch from a shotgun to a cannon. If you can earn 20,000 taels a year, you will really make a fortune.
Xiang Nan nodded.
In the TV series "Mansion Gate", the Bai family accumulated millions of taels of wealth by relying on the Baicao Hall, and even once dared to challenge the prince's palace.
It can be seen that the medicinal materials business is really profitable.
If Wang Tianhe hadn't been in charge of the Royal Pharmacy now, he would have really wanted to imitate the Bai family and use Prince Jing's power to expand his business to the Forbidden City.
After all, no matter how big the money is, it cannot be bigger than public funds.
"Madam, I also have good news to tell you." Xiang Nan smiled and said, "Prince Jing sent a message today. He has already sent a message to the Ministry of Personnel and asked for a sixth-grade title for me. In two days, the official will The official document from the ministry is here.”
"Oh, it's true, old man, that's great." When Hu Suhua heard this, she said in surprise, "Defu, Shengzi, Luzi, come and congratulate Master.
Oops, I really didn’t expect that our family could have a high-ranking official. This is really smoke rising from the grave of our ancestors! "
"Congratulations, Master! Congratulations, Master!" Everyone ran over and laughed.
"Old man, he's a sixth-grade official. He's higher than the county magistrate, that's great." Hu Suhua said again, "Have you agreed on where to take up the post?"
"My silly wife, this is just a false title. I want to take office, but I have to endure it." Xiang Nan laughed when he heard this.
Donating officials was popular in the Qing Dynasty. During the Kangxi period, the military expenditure for the conquest of Junggar was insufficient, so Kangxi issued an edict to encourage wealthy households to donate. Ganzhou alone donated 17,000 county magistrates; during the Qianlong period, Qianlong stipulated that one county magistrate could be donated for 20 shi of rice, so almost every bannerman in the capital donated an official; Jiaqing During the year, the treasury was empty and the door for donations was wide open. The number of donated children increased to 220,000...
During the reign of Daoguang, Tongzhi, Guangxu... during the reign of these emperors, the Qing government fought for years and could not make ends meet, and its donations were even higher than before. Four thousand taels of silver can be donated to a county magistrate; twenty thousand taels of silver can be donated to a Taoist platform...
Donation of officials was very popular, and nearly 70% of the officials in the imperial court were from donation. Less than 20% of the students are on the right track, so scholars have no hope at all.
This is also the reason why Tian Kui was born as a Jinshi, but he had to rely on Lu Zhong's back door to take office even temporarily.
Also because official donation is popular but positions are limited, the Qing court now has at least 200,000 idle official donations. If these people want to take office, they still have to send money to the staff.
Otherwise, there will be a wait. Many donated officials even waited a lifetime before taking office.
"So that's the case, then what's the use of this official?" Hu Suhua curled her lips after hearing the explanation.
At first, she thought Xiang Nan would patrol one side and act as a Baili Lieutenant. Now when I hear it, I realize that it is just a decoration for a deaf person.
"Hey, with an official status, you have an identity. At least you don't have to kneel down when you see the county magistrate." Xiang Nan explained, "And with an official status, those ruffians on the ground don't dare to cause trouble. ."
The most important thing is that after obtaining an official position, Wang Tianhe should no longer think about using force. After all, Xiang Nan's identity is an official, not an ordinary citizen. If something happens to him, he can't be ignored.
…
"Master, I also have a happy event to tell you. I diagnosed the little master's pulse today. Guess what happened?" Defu said with a smile.
"What's wrong?" Xiang Nan's eyes lit up when he heard this, "Could it be..."
"You guessed it right, my mistress is happy~" Defu nodded and smiled.
"Oh, that's great." When Xiang Nan heard this, he clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Come, come, come, come and congratulate your little mistress."
Shengzi, Luzi, Guizi and others all came forward to express their congratulations. Sai Xishi was also smiling from ear to ear.
"Congratulations, sister. Congratulations, sister." Hu Suhua came forward with Yu'er and said, "Our master finally has a wife."
"Thank you sister." Sai Xishi smiled.
"Come, come, come, give each of you a red envelope to bring some joy." Xiang Nan wrapped the silver in red paper and distributed it to his apprentices and clerks one by one.
Everyone was very happy to get it.
"Come, let me feel it to see if I will give you a junior brother or a junior sister?" Xiang Nan smiled again, and then felt Sai Xishi's pulse, and felt that the right pulse was heavy and strong, and it must be a daughter.
In fact, having a daughter is also a good thing for him. After all, we are all modern people, and we don’t have such strong ideas about male superiority and female inferiority. However, Hu Suhua and Sai Xishi may not think so.
Therefore, he still smiled and said, "Haha, from what I see, he is basically his son."
Hearing what he said, everyone was even happier.
