Farmer’s Blessed Girl

Man Bao sat on the chair and took a sip of the herbal tea, contentedly, "It's still Imperial Doctor Xiao, you have a lot of good things here. The red bean is fried just right and fragrant."

Imperial Physician Xiao put her hands together in front of her abdomen and waited for her to drink two sips of tea before she said, "Tell me, what are you looking for?"

Man Bao laughed, "Look at what Imperial Doctor Xiao said, can't I come to see you if I have nothing to do?"

Imperial Physician Xiao lifted his eyelids and glanced at her, but said nothing.

It's only three days off, and he came to him the next day. It's impossible to think with your toes if it's all right.

Man Bao put down the teacup and sat upright and said, "I really have something to do with Doctor Xiao."

Imperial Physician Xiao showed a "surely" expression and gestured for her to say.

Man Bao said: "I want to ask about the method of vaccination."

Her previous excerpt, Imperial Physician Xiao, also read it. Not only did he read it, but the emperor also invited him and Imperial Physician Liu to ask if this method was feasible.

Zhou Man wrote very clearly in the book, if as she said, smallpox will continue to weaken the toxicity, then it may be possible, but...

"Looking at the spread of smallpox this time, there is no trend of weakening toxicity."

"That's because it is passed down from person to person. What we have to do is to use the healed acne scab to spread it again, even twice, three times..." She said: "The first person resisted smallpox, the acne The toxicity in the scab will diminish."

Imperial Physician Xiao thought for a while, then shook his head, "This is just your guess, there is no evidence, and it is impossible to take it for granted."

Man Bao also knew this. Those were all from the books. Teacher Mo said it was verified, but that was in that time and space, not in this world.

Moreover, Man Bao wanted to confirm it herself, so she said, "Then let's find someone to try it out."

Imperial Doctor Xiao was startled, but did not expect her to be so courageous, "Your Majesty has already sent a letter to ask Anxi, if there is such a method in the Western Regions, our Imperial Hospital will send someone to look for it. Now that the eight characters have not been written, we will use someone to try it..."

Man Bao said: "The journey to Anxi is long and the journey is full of dangers. Who knows when Xin will come back? And they don't know medical skills. What if they miss this method when they inquire?"

She said, "Sir, how many people have died from smallpox this time? But I heard from some old people that the reason why so few people died was because of the strong national power, and the imperial court was responsible for most of the people's medicine, otherwise..."

Otherwise, I don't know how many people can't afford medicine, and I don't know how many people look down on doctors, and I don't know how many people will die by then.

She said: "This disease is too tiring, even if it is over, many people also have pockmarks on their faces and bodies. Regardless of men and women, after leaving pockmarks, their future marriage will be affected, and it is no different from a disability. I still want to be early. Find a way to prevent it."

Doctor Xiao shook his head and said, "What are you worried about, young man? Your life is still very long. I'm not in a hurry even at my age."

Man Bao looked at him silently.

Imperial Physician Xiao waved his hand and said, "Alright, alright, I will tell your majesty that I will see if I can find a few prisoners sentenced to beheading from the prison of the Ministry of Punishment to try."

Man Bao asked curiously, "Will they be spared the death penalty?"

"No," said Imperial Physician Xiao, "but instead of beheading, it can be replaced by hanging."

There are several types of death sentences. Beheading is the most cruel one. Separation of the body is cruel even for the prisoner. Legend has it that one cannot be reincarnated as a human after death.

Man Bao asked: "What if there is no execution of the prisoner, or the execution of the prisoner does not agree?"

"Then we can only choose the prisoner to be executed, but then he won't die." Tai Doctor Xiao thought for a while and said, "It's really possible that no prisoner to be executed will be found. This is the beginning of spring, and it was only after the autumn of last year. Kill a wave."

Even though Dajin is so big, not many people are sentenced to be executed for crimes every year, most of them will be escorted to Beijing for review, and only some special cases will be executed locally.

Imperial Physician Xiao said, "I have to go to the Punishment Department to inquire about the news."

Instantly, it felt so complicated.

Imperial Physician Xiao looked up at her and shook his head, not wanting to keep her anymore, "Okay, I'll take note of this matter, you can go back."

Man Bao smiled and said: "I haven't wished your lord to be promoted to the director of the court yet. I heard people say that you have done a great job this time, so your majesty will give you the post of director of the court again. There will be a drink in the house. Are you celebrating?"

The corners of Imperial Physician Xiao's mouth twitched, but he quickly pressed it down, "It's just that the official resumes his post, what's there to celebrate?"

He suddenly remembered something, looked her up and down and said, "I almost forgot, you and Taiyi Zheng have also made great contributions this time, and the court should have a reward."

He thought about it, "Maybe he can be promoted."

Man Bao was refreshed and asked, "Is it an upgrade?"

Doctor Xiao nodded, "It's possible."

Man Bao got excited, and then paused, "So it's possible that I and Imperial Physician Lu are still of the same grade, or is he taller than me?"

When Imperial Physician Xiao saw her expression, he couldn't help but laugh, "You two went to Xiazhou this time, and it has been four months of hardships. Why haven't you cultivated your feelings yet?"

Man Bao did not speak.

Doctor Xiao shook his head slightly and said: "Doctor Lu is the chief officer of this foreign mission, and he is supposed to have the most credit, but from the reported cases, you have cured the most people and the mortality rate is the lowest, so your credit is also It’s not too small, the official department should have the same rank.”

Man Bao was happy.

Imperial Physician Xiao gave her another blow, "But don't be too happy too soon. Your age and qualifications are here, and the Ministry of Personnel may consider these two points, and it's not necessarily the case."

Man Bao: "...Sir, can you stop panting when you speak, what if I expect too much and end up disappointed?"

Imperial Physician Xiao laughed and waved: "Okay, let's go back, we can't decide this matter."

It is true that Imperial Physician Xiao can't make the decision, but the emperor will ask his opinion, after all, he is the head of the Imperial Hospital again.

Doctor Xiao's opinion is that both of them will be promoted to half-grade. After all, Zhou Man did very well this time, he said: "And Doctor Zhou dared to rush to the front at such a young age, and he should have been commended for being so daring. ."

The emperor nodded.

So Imperial Physician Xiao was promoted to the head of the hospital, Imperial Physician Lu was promoted from rank 5, Physician Zhou Man was promoted from rank 5, and Physician Zheng was promoted to rank 6.

In addition, there are also the rewards that the Ministry of Housing gave them this time, all of which are food and use.

For example, half a sheep, half a fan of pork, a little rice noodles and some cloth.

They are not very precious, but they are quite honorable. After Man Bao took the official document, he went to the Ministry of Housing with her father and Saturday Lang to get things.

After taking the things, the father and son drove the car all the way home happily, and Lao Zhoutou sat on the carriage and commented: "I have seen it all, when the pig slaughterer was dividing the pork, Imperial Doctor Lu was better than ours. a little more."

Man Bao said: "He's too old, Dad, what will this sheep's head do?"

The old Zhoutou thought for a while and then said: "After steaming, I will sacrifice it to the ancestors, and then give it to your sister-in-law."

Because he doesn't know what to do.

See you at 6 pm
