Chapter 819 821【Three Happiness Coming】

  Xiang Nan's Yixiaotang and Shiweitian have seen good business since their opening.

  Smiling at the hall, the patients all came here admiring the name of Xiang Nan's miracle doctor. Although it was not him who sat in the hall, but Telford. However, Defu can still hold his feet under the name of the first disciple of the genius doctor.

  In addition, Defu's medical skills are indeed good, much higher than those of the imperial physicians, so many patients have been cured, and the reputation of Yixiaotang is getting higher and higher.

  Food is the sky, it is because of the support of the prince, so his relatives and friends, colleagues and subordinates, students and old officials, etc., all come here admiringly, almost becoming the designated reception unit of the imperial court, and it is difficult to think of a light business.

  In addition, Sai Xishi is really good at cooking, so he quickly conquered the stomachs of all people in the capital. From the opening of the market at noon to the opening of the market at night, there is almost no leisure time.

  As for Peide Medical School, it is also very good. Xiang Nan takes classes for three hours every day. From Si in the morning to 2:00 noon, from Shen in the afternoon to 2:00 in the afternoon.

   Lectures on medical books, pulse diagnosis, prescriptions, acupuncture... Xiang Nan has a stomach full of real materials, so it is not difficult to teach these students.

  As for the students, when they first came here, they didn't think much of Xiang Nan.

   After all, most of their ancestors were imperial physicians, or well-known medical masters in the capital. For example, there is Le Jingyu, the third young master of Tongrentang Lejia, 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 healing methods. 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 hanged himself with only a piece of scallion, and revived a lifeless woman; with only a piece of mugwort, he cured the headache for many years, they had to change their minds and admired When you get up, you will naturally learn more seriously.

  …

"Old man, it's really good. Our laughter and food are the sky, and today we have earned forty-six taels of silver." Hu Suhua said happily, "If this continues, we can make money this year." Twenty thousand taels of silver. Oh, what an unexpected thing."

  In Cangzhou, they only earn three to five taels of silver a day, excluding capital, wages, and daily expenses, they can’t save two hundred taels of silver a year. Unexpectedly, as soon as I came to the capital, the shotgun was changed. You can earn 20,000 taels a year, which is really rich.

  Xiang Nan nodded.

  In the TV series "The Gate of the Mansion", the Bai family relied on the signboard of Baicao Hall to accumulate a family fortune of millions of taels of silver, and even dared to challenge the prince's mansion.

   It can be seen that the medicinal material business is really profitable.

  If it weren't for Wang Tianhe who is now in charge of the Royal Pharmacy, he would really like to learn from the Bai family and take advantage of Prince Jing's influence to expand their business to the Forbidden City.

   After all, no matter how big the big money is, it cannot be bigger than public money.

"Ma'am, I also have good news for you." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Prince Jing sent a message today, and he has sent a message to the official department to ask for a sixth-rank title for me. In two days, the official The Ministry's official document came down."

   "Oh, really, old man, that's really great." Hearing this, Hu Suhua said in surprise, "Defu, Shengzi, Luzi, come and congratulate Master.

   Oh, I really didn't expect that our family could produce a high-ranking official. This is really smoke rising from the ancestral grave! "

   "Congratulations, Master, congratulations to Master!" Everyone ran over and laughed.

   "Old man, sixth-rank official, that's higher than the county magistrate, that's great." Hu Suhua said again, "Have you decided where to take up the post?"

   "My silly woman, this is just a false title. If you want to take office, some people will suffer." Xiang Nan laughed when he heard it.

  Official donations prevailed in the Qing Dynasty. During the Kangxi period, the military expenses for the conquest of Zhungeer were 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 twenty shi of rice, so almost everyone in the capital donated an official; Over the years, the national treasury was empty, and the door for donations was opened, and the number of donations surged to 220,000...

  Daoguang, Tongzhi, Guangxu...During the reign of these emperors, the Qing court fought for years, making ends meet, and donating more 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...

  Official donations are prevalent, and nearly 70% of the officials in the imperial court are from donation backgrounds. Kejia is less than 20% on the right path, and scholars have no hope at all.

   This is also the reason why Tian Kui was born as a Jinshi, but even if he walked temporarily, he had to rely on Lu Zhong's back door to take office.

   Also because donating officials is popular, but the positions are limited, so the Qing court now has at least 200,000 idle donating officials. If these people want to take office, they still have to send money to the officials.

   Otherwise, there is someone waiting. Many donated officials even waited for a lifetime, but did not wait to take office.

   "So that's the case, so what's the use of this official?" Hu Suhua curled her lips after hearing the explanation.

  At first, she thought that Xiang Nan would patrol one side and be a Bailihou. Now I only know it after listening to it, but it is just a deaf ear - a display.

"Hey, if you have an official status, you will have an identity. At least you don't have to kneel down when you meet the county magistrate." Xiang Nan explained, "And with an official status, those local ruffians on the ground will not dare to come to find trouble. .”

  The most important thing is that after becoming an official, Wang Tianhe should stop trying to be strong. After all, Xiang Nan's status is an official, not a commoner, so if something happens to him, he can't be neglected.

  …

   "Master, I also have a happy event to tell you. I checked my wife's pulse today, guess what happened?" Telford laughed.

   "What's wrong?" Xiang Nan's eyes lit up when he heard it, "Could it be..."

   "You guessed it right, my wife is happy~" Defu nodded and smiled.

   "Oh, that's really great." Xiang Nan clapped his hands and smiled when he heard it, "Come, come, come, come and congratulate your little teacher."

   Shengzi, Luzi, Guizi and others all came forward to congratulate Sai Xishi, who was so happy that Sai Xishi was also smiling and couldn't close his mouth from ear to ear.

   "Congratulations sister, congratulations sister." Hu Suhua walked up with Yu'er and said, "Our master finally has a son."

   "Thank you sister." Sai Xishi smiled.

   "Come, come, come, one red envelope per person, some happiness." Xiang Nan wrapped the money in red paper and distributed it to the apprentices and fellows one by one.

  Everyone is very happy to get it.

   "Come on, let me touch it and see if I will give you a junior brother or a junior sister?" Xiang Nan laughed again, and then felt Sai Xishi's pulse, and felt that the pulse on the right was deep and strong, which should undoubtedly be her daughter.

   In fact, having a daughter is also a good thing for him. After all, they are all modern people, and they don't have such a strong idea of ​​male superiority to female inferiority. But Hu Suhua and Sai Xishi may not think so.

   Therefore, he still smiled, "Haha, according to my opinion, it is basically the son."

   Hearing what he said, everyone was even happier.
