Xiang Nan's Yixiao Tang, Shiweitian, has been doing well since its opening.

In Yixiaotang, all the patients came to admire the name of the miracle doctor Xiang Nan. Although it was not him but Defu who was sitting in the hall. However, Defu could still hold his own under the name of the direct disciple of the miracle doctor.

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 prince's support that his relatives, friends, colleagues, subordinates, disciples and old 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 serving of the dishes in the evening, there was almost no leisure time.

As for Peide Medical School, it is also very good. Xiang Nan has three hours of classes every day. From 1:00 to 2:00 noon in the morning, and from 2:00 to 2:00 in the afternoon.

He teaches medical books, pulse diagnosis, prescriptions, and 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, one of them is the prototype of the TV series "The Mansion Gate", Le Jingyu, the third young master of Tongrentang Lejia.

And Xiang Nan is just a country doctor. Even if he has read some lost medical books and knows some wonderful methods of treating diseases, he is a country doctor and cannot be compared to 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. Put together our laughter hall and food, we made forty-six taels of silver today." Hu Suhua happily said, thinking about the abacus, "If we keep this up, we can make a lot of money this year."

Twenty thousand taels of silver. Oh my, it’s really something unexpected.”

In Cangzhou, they only earned three to five taels of silver a day. Excluding capital, wages, and daily expenses, they could not save more than 200 taels of silver in a year. Unexpectedly, as soon as they came to the capital, they would change everything. They could earn 20,000 taels a year.

That would be a real 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 from this that the medicinal materials business is really hugely 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, give birth to a son, Luzi, come and congratulate Master.

Oops, I really didn’t expect that our family could have a high-ranking official. This is really like smoke rising from the graves of our ancestors!”

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

"Old man, a sixth-grade official, that'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 rice should be worth twenty shi.

, you can donate a county magistrate to do it, so almost every bannerman in the capital donated an official; during the Jiaqing period, the treasury was empty and the door to donations was wide open, and the number of donated children surged to 220,000...

Daoguang, Tongzhi, Guangxu... During the reign of these emperors, the Qing government fought for years and could not make ends meet, so donations were even higher than before. Four thousand taels of silver could be donated to a county magistrate; twenty thousand taels of silver could 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 officials were in the official career, so there was no hope for scholars.

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 government now has at least 200,000 idle official donors. If these people want to take office, they still have to send money to the Ministry of Civil Affairs.

Otherwise, you will have to wait a long time. Many people who donated their posts even waited their whole life and never got to take office.

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

At first, she thought that Xiang Nan would patrol one side and serve as a Bailihou. But now she realized that it was just a decoration for a deaf person.

"Hey, once you have 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 becoming an official, Wang Tianhe should no longer think about using force. After all, Xiang Nan's identity is an official, not a commoner. If something happens to him, he cannot 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."

The birth of a son, Luzi, Guizi and others all came forward to express their congratulations. Xishi was so happy that she smiled from ear to ear.

"Congratulations, sister. Congratulations, sister." Hu Suhua came up with Yu'er and said, "Our master finally has a wife."

"Thank you sister." Sai Xishi smiled.

"Come on, come on, come on, let's get a red envelope for each person and feel a little happy." Xiang Nan wrapped the silver in red paper and distributed it to his apprentices one by one, the gangsters said.

Everyone was very happy to get it.

"Come on, let me feel it to see if I'm going to give you a little junior brother or a little junior sister?" Xiang Nan smiled again, and then felt Sai Xishi's pulse, and felt that the right pulse was heavy and strong, so it must be a daughter.

In fact, having a daughter is also a good thing for him. After all, they are modern people and do not 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."
