Chapter 2109 expansion

She just listened to it when she entered the palace. She said to Feng Zongping: "Your grandfather must know this, why don't you ask him?"

Feng Zongping muttered: "I didn't pass the exam. How could my grandfather tell me this?"

But he was still very happy and said to Yi Ziyang: "In this way, even if you show your face in front of His Majesty, even if your ranking is not advanced, Your Majesty will think of you if something comes up in the future."

Even if you can't remember it, there are officials who have good relations with the Yi family who will hint at something to remind your majesty. This is how connections are used.

Yi Ziyang was also a little happy.

To thank Zhou Man for the information, Yi Ziyang ordered another large meatball.

Man Bao happily accepted.

Feng Zongping asked her, "How did your experiment go?"

The fact that the Taiyuan Hospital was conducting smallpox experiments was not widely publicized. Only some officials in the court knew about it. Feng Zongping knew that it was not even Feng Shangshu's intention, but learned about it from Bai Shan and others.

After all, they were both in Chongwen Hall, and Zhou Man suddenly didn't live in the palace very often, and could only see her in the cafeteria every now and then, so he couldn't help but inquire about her.

Although it is not easy to publicize this matter, after all, a piece of land on the outskirts of Beijing was specially set aside to raise smallpox patients. If word spread, people would probably panic.

But this was also an achievement, and it was not a secret in the court, so Bai Shan said it directly.

The consequence is that the people headed by Zhao Liulang have stayed as far away from the eastern suburbs as they can in recent times, and now they don't even go to the racecourse in the eastern suburbs.

I heard that the eastern suburbs racecourse has been unable to organize a polo match in the past 20 days, which is exactly the same as when the smallpox was raging some time ago.

By the time the steward of the racecourse found out that there was a smallpox patient locked up in the Imperial Hospital at Huangzhuang, the business of the racecourse was already extremely bleak.

He went to his employer to no avail. In the words of his employer, "Let's not mention that this matter was decided by the ministers of the DPRK. Let's just talk about where the house is now. Who can let them move out?"

"Just bear with it until they finish the experiment."

"How long will it take?"

The other party waved his hand carelessly and said: "A smallpox patient can live or die in up to ten days and a half. If you count more time, twenty days is enough. Just wait for now. I will take the lead when they move out."

Just hold a polo match, give more prizes, and win people back."

Who knows, they just received a smallpox patient from Huangzhuang who died, and two others survived, and the Punishment Department selected twelve more prisoners and sent them there.

The Ministry of Works sent craftsmen over and took the servants from Huangzhuang to build three more rooms next to the courtyard specifically for these prisoners to live in. There were four people in each room and it was very spacious.

When the owners and stewards of the eastern suburbs racecourse heard about it, they almost spit out a mouthful of blood. Finally, they gritted their teeth and said, "Forget it, let's organize the event first. Our place is thirty miles away from the imperial city, and it's not like that day flower will grow wings and fly over.

Didn't it mean that their house is far away from Longshou Canal? Even the water used is staggered."

The steward said: "But where do those gentlemen, ladies, gentlemen and young ladies take care of this? I just think that our racecourse and Huangzhuang are in the eastern suburbs..."

"Under heavy profits, there must be brave men. We have issued an announcement and invited some good teams from Beijing and Yongzhou to come to warm up the game. The prizes will be higher. As long as there are people coming, I don't believe those young men will not come."

The aristocratic lords and ladies in the capital may mind this, but those who make a living by playing polo will certainly not mind. When they warm up the place, will those lords and ladies who love to join in the fun come?

It means that a lot of expenses have been wasted.

He couldn't help but feel heartbroken, and then asked: "By the way, besides Xiao Yuanzheng, who else is the leading physician at the Imperial Hospital?"

"I heard that there are also Dr. Lu and Dr. Zhou."

"Mr. Zhou," he remembered, then gritted his teeth and said, "Let's set up the venue first, and then post a post to the three imperial doctors, and pay them a share of the money to be the judges."

Steward: "...Let the imperial physician be the judge?"

The boss said: "This is to reassure them. Just invite a few more reliable judges when the time comes. Don't worry too much about the scores given by the three of them."

The steward then agreed, and then asked: "What about the ceremonial gold..."

The owner thought for a moment and said, "Ten taels, that's quite a lot."

The steward responded and took the order and left.

Man Bao didn't know that extra money would come to her door. She was currently in the palace looking at the twelve prisoners who had just been sent to her door.

The age groups are over thirty, twenty-five to thirty, twenty to twenty-five, and under twenty.

There are four people in each age group, and the age difference between them is not very big.

Man Bao numbered them, starting from No. 4 and going down, still according to age, all the way to No. 15.

Number 15 is the youngest.

There were four people in one room, and after they were numbered, she wrote a piece of paper and stuck it on their bedside so that the servants and prisoners could better identify their seats.

Man Bao and Dr. Zheng Lu from Xiao Yuan examined their bodies and said, "I'll rest for a few days before I start."

Then they also gave them meal prescriptions.

No. 2 and No. 3 who survived next door did not have such treatment, but the food and drink were still much better than in prison, and because they no longer had the smallpox virus, Xiao Yuan was having their shackles removed and arranged to be sent to prison.

Among the servants, I will take care of the twelve new people together with the servants.

He said: "Anyway, if you send them back to the Penal Department, they will stay in prison and get worms. It is better to keep them here and make the best use of them. And I also want to see if they will get infected if they continue to be exposed to smallpox patients."

Man Bao and Doctor Lu nodded in agreement.

The servants and the Imperial Guards guarding outside were already very experienced, and they did not need to worry too much about the three imperial doctors. They just prescribed meals and gave them acupuncture to recuperate their bodies.

The craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry also led people to build three rooms on the other side of the yard. The middle one is a pharmacy, and the two rooms on the left and right are rooms for the imperial doctors to rest.

This way they don't have to go all the way to change clothes, and the medicine cabinet no longer needs to be kept in the main room. Even the smallpox scabs that have been kept in the box have been moved to the pharmacy and locked up.

After finishing all this, three days have passed.

Man Bao and Xiao Yuanzheng checked the physical conditions of the twelve patients and said, "In two days, we should be able to start vaccination."

Xiao Yuanzheng also thinks so. The base this time is larger and more comprehensive than last time. Speaking of which, he is still a little nervous and hopes everything will go smoothly.

After checking her body, Man Bao collected the medicine box and said goodbye. The vaccination had not started yet, so they did not have to stay up late at night. Xiao Yuan was leaving with her. The carriage had just left the imperial village, and two fast horses were heading here.

He was galloping towards them, and when he was about to pass them by, he stopped his horse and shouted, "Is this Doctor Zhou in the car?"

Man Bao opened the car curtain and was surprised to see the person coming: "Mingli? Why are you here?"
