The Empress was meeting some older Mrs. Gao Ming, and Chang Yu sat with her for a long time. She was really bored, so she gave Ming Da a wink.

Mingda still has a purpose that has not yet been achieved, so he is not willing to go, just pretend he can't see it.

Chang Yu had no choice but to sit for a while, but she couldn't sit any longer, and she would fall asleep any longer.

So he quietly got up and went out.

As soon as she went out, a gust of wind blew, and Chang Yu felt refreshed. She exhaled and turned to go back to her bedroom.

The maid held her back, "Princess, the officials have almost finished coming in, the empress will be gone in a while, and you are going back to the bedroom now, and you will be late in time."

She said: "If you are not in the spirit, you might as well go to the Wude Hall and talk to someone to get your spirits up."

Chang Yu said boredly: "Okay, I don't know if Zhou Man has come in."

Speaking of Zhou Man, Chang Yu managed to regain his strength, "Let's go, let's go find Zhou Man."

Man Bao was also looking for them, all the way from the Wude Hall, the two sides met on the palace road, and immediately rushed to each other happily.

Man Bao and her held hands, and one said, "I'm just about to find you."

One said, "What is the Queen Mother doing now?"

Chang Yu was curious when he heard the words, "What are you doing with your mother?"

"There's something important," Man Bao asked, "I heard you say before that the empress wants to raise money for our Imperial Physician's Office to buy medicinal herbs?"

Chang Yu: "...Did I say that? I just heard from the mother that it was for the military funds for this expedition. There are many people in your Imperial Physician's Office, and you must have a share. What's the matter?"

Man Bao asked, "Is there a lot of money together?"

After thinking about it, Chang Yu said, "A lot. I alone gave eighty taels of silver ingots, as well as a lot of jewelry. How could it be worth seventy or eighty taels?"

She said, "Mingda gave a small amount of jewelry, but gave a lot of cash, and the total price was one or two hundred taels."

Man Bao was very pleasantly surprised. If the Imperial Palace were willing to give them all the money to prepare medicinal materials and medical equipment for their Imperial Physician Department, it might be more than the five million money allocated to them by the Ministry of Households.

Man Bao regained his spirits and dragged Chang Yu to the harem. She said, "I haven't given my condolences yet, let's go, let's go to my concubine."

She decided to get the moon first.

Chang Yu didn't think much of it, so he made up his mind, but Zhou Man was very strong, and dragged her away directly, "Hurry up, don't delay my greeting to the empress."

Chang Yu said: "There are all the old ladies of Zhao Guogong, the old lady of the Yin family, etc., either the son or the grandson. We can't get in there at all."

Man Bao said: "This time on the expedition, Your Majesty will bring Lord Yin with him."

So they can still talk, they have a common language.

Chang Yu: "..."

With Chang Yu taking them, they entered the main hall directly, and everyone was talking hotly.

Man Bao pricked up his ears and heard what they were saying, "Princess benevolence"

"This is what I was waiting for. If I can share the worries for Your Majesty and the Empress, it will be a blessing for me."

The two were about to sneak in quietly, and the smiling queen sitting on it had a panoramic view of the situation in the hall.

Naturally, she saw the two sneaking around, so she smiled and said, "The ladies know the righteousness, and this palace is very pleased. It happens that Zhou Qing is here, Zhou Qing, what do you think of this matter?"

Man Bao and Chang Yu, who had only slipped halfway, froze.

Chang Yu adhered to the principle that a dead Taoist friend would never die, broke free from Zhou Man's hand, and walked back to his seat dignifiedly and demurely.

Yeah, what do you think?

Chang Yu secretly said: What is God's opinion? They just came in from outside, and they don't even know what they said before. How can they see it?

Man Bao raised his head and smiled slightly, just as he was about to cheat, Ming Da also raised his head and smiled and said cheerfully: "Empress mother, she is naturally the happiest, although this money is donated to the soldiers, but after all, they Managed by the Imperial Physician's Office."

"She is an imperial physician. She has enough medicinal materials to treat and save people. Will she be unhappy?"

Man Bao's eyes lit up, he swallowed the nonsense, and nodded again and again: "Yes, yes, I'm very happy."

The queen glanced at Mingda, smiled slightly, and said, "Zhou Qing is a person who faces upwards, and she should know better than us women in the back house. This year, many places are not good, and before the autumn harvest, Your Majesty has reduced or exempted several places. Taxes, so the treasury is not rich. Yesterday, the concubines in the harem, as well as the princes and daughters, all donated a little money for military funding. It is not a lot, but it can help your Majesty and adults solve some small problems. "

Man Bao nodded approvingly, suppressing his excitement: "For example, buy medicinal materials for our Imperial Physician Office, and buy gauze and linen lamps for bandages, not to mention the generosity of the empress and the ladies, just a dollar, that can also buy hemostatic medicine. This is a great merit for saving people's lives, and Zhou Man thanked the empresses and wives here on behalf of the previous soldiers."

The ladies who were originally led by Princess Mingda to donate money were still a little reluctant and unwilling, but all of them were dissolved at this time.

Yes, this is a matter of great merit, just like giving porridge to the poor during the festivals.

And the old ladies and wives who went on expeditions in their families even recited immortals or Buddhas in their hearts, and only hoped that God would bless them for their safe return for the sake of their piety. If...

The money donated this time will also be used for them.

Although in their capacity, if they are really hurt, they will not have no medicine, but they still have to comfort themselves in their hearts.

If the Imperial Physician's Office had enough money, it might buy better medicines. If you really need medicines accidentally, there is still a big difference between a 100-cent copper plate and a 1-cent.

Thinking of this, an old lady couldn't help but ask, "Master Zhou, are the medicines ready for your hospital?"

The lady with her family on the expedition immediately pricked up her ears to listen.

Man Bao smiled and said: "Never, the Ministry of Household is only willing to give a budget of 5 million, but this time there are 100,000 soldiers and soldiers, including the pro-army that His Majesty is going to take away, there must be 120,000. "

Man Bao sighed and said: "That is to say, not counting the chores and logistics soldiers who transport supplies, fighting on the front line, one person's wound medicine money is only over forty cents, which is still at least three months' medical expenses. Woolen cloth."

Forty pennies was enough for two pairs of hemostatics, which was the cheapest.

If it is a little more serious, the price of a pair of medicines is more than that.

The other old ladies don't know the price of medicine, but they are not stupid. If it hits the cold winter and the twelfth lunar month, they will rely on forty cents of medicinal materials for three months. Isn't that people sending them to death?

Everyone couldn't help but glance at Mrs. Liu Shangshu with some dissatisfaction in their eyes.

Mrs. Liu Shangshu: ...

It is really honest to sit, and disaster falls from the sky.

Mrs. Liu Shangshu glanced at Zhou Man and said nothing.
