Dominate the ancient academy

Chapter 245 It’s great to have money

Yun Qinghan also wanted to wipe his face. If it weren't for the fact that Imperial Physician Zhang was the best doctor, he would not have come. After the Emperor's uncle's health improved, Imperial Physician Zhang became more and more eccentric and had many ideas.

He quickly interrupted the messy thoughts in Doctor Zhang's mind: "It's not for me, it's for Master Ye. Do you think there is anything suitable?"

The junior fellow apprentice had said mysteriously before that he wanted to give him a gift, so as his senior apprentice, he couldn't go empty-handed, so he had to prepare a return gift. Seeing that the junior fellow apprentice cared so much about his height, he would ask Doctor Zhang to think of a solution. As an imperial physician, this should be a small matter.

Before, he thought that it was because of his small frame. But now he thought that his height had not changed much in half a year. It was not just because of his small frame. He remembered that at his age, he changed his clothes every two or three months, and he could obviously feel the change.

Junior brother's height might be a problem. Now that Doctor Ye is not around, junior brother is more proficient in making medicine. In Kyoto, only Imperial Physician Zhang has decent medical skills. If junior brother knew that he could grow taller, he would be very happy.

"Ye...Uncle Ye!" Imperial Physician Zhang pondered for a while and searched for Uncle Ye's appearance and height in his mind.

He stroked his chin in thought and spoke hesitantly: "This Master Ye... seems to be a little short. He is growing slowly."

She had also met Uncle Ye twice. Looking at him individually, he had a well-proportioned figure, but looking at him as a whole, especially compared with Prince Yun, he was indeed too small and delicate. It was understandable that she wanted to take a look at him.

"Prince, there are indeed herbs that can help you grow taller, such as ginseng, angelica, dodder seed, poria, bone drynaria, etc. These herbs can replenish vitality, have the effects of bone growth, accelerate bone cell division, and promote development. They are quite effective for young people who are still growing, but as the saying goes, medicine is three-point poison, you can't take medicine casually."

As for height, some people develop early and grow fast, while some people develop late and grow slowly. In the end, it is not certain who will be taller or shorter, so the specific situation needs to be analyzed specifically.

"If it is convenient, it would be best for me to accompany the prince to the mansion to take Mr. Ye's pulse and prescribe the right medicine. This would be the most appropriate way." Imperial Physician Zhang said.

He is a very responsible doctor. He will never prescribe medicine without seeing the patient. Otherwise, if any problems occur after taking the medicine, wouldn't it damage his reputation?

Yun Qinghan pondered for a moment and nodded: "Alright, then please ask Imperial Physician Zhang to go to Dingbei Marquis's Mansion and wait for a while, I will go and call my junior brother."

After all, this issue of height concerns a man's reputation. It's not good to let everyone know about it in a big way. It's better to let the junior brother come over secretly.

On the fourth day of the New Year, the ministers in Kyoto ended their holidays and began to attend court on time. The palace became much quieter, and the soybean oil that Fang Yuchu had been developing was beginning to show results.

Although the oil yield is not high, at least the oil is out. This can be regarded as the birth of vegetable oil, which is much fresher than animal oil. As for the problem of oil yield, Shu Xiaoxiao cannot let Imperial Physician Zhang deal with it alone. She directly hands it over to the emperor and asks him to find someone to study it. It will only take a few minutes.

Although it has been made now, the quantity is too small. It is a bit difficult to make mushroom meat sauce with such a small amount.

When it comes to oil, you still have to look at peanuts. When she bought oil before, she seemed to have heard that the oil yield of soybeans was 10%, while that of peanuts was probably around 50%. Peanuts are also considered a high-yield grain.

If there are only soybeans, it will be difficult to popularize them with this oil yield. We still have to rely on peanuts with a high oil yield. What should we do? Thinking of this, I want to go to the dock again.

Although the father and elder brother in the family were surprised that their daughter/sister was so capable, they were more proud of it. No one would compete with their daughter/sister for the credit, so they all agreed to tell the emperor the method.

Shu Xiaoxiao has a special status. The more capable she is, the more the emperor will protect her, and the safer she will be. Didn't you see how many princes and ministers wanted to take shortcuts this year and found many connections, but didn't dare to find Ye Boye? This is the confidence of having the emperor's protection.

Otherwise, otherwise, you are just a small earl. In Kyoto, there are a lot of marquises, not to mention earls. If you have anything to do, just ask for instructions. Who would be so polite to you?

But with the emperor protecting him, even the princes dared not provoke him easily. This was the benefit of having a backer! Not to mention that the backer was the emperor who was above everyone else.

The emperor was very satisfied after tasting the soybean oil. It was not easy for the common people to eat meat. Many families did not eat meat for many years, which was not good for the body. Although the soybean oil had a low oil yield, it was cheap! Not only soybean oil, but also soybean dregs were good things. The common people could not afford meat, but they could also grow beans.

And maybe this is another way to make money~! Hey, the national treasury is making a lot of money now, just thinking about it makes people happy!

New Year, New Atmosphere. Good things are happening at the beginning of the new year. It is a good omen! Ye Boye is worthy of the title of lucky star. He deserves it!

The ministers watched numbly as a long string of rewards flowed into the Yongle Earl's Mansion all at once. They were really numb. On the first day of court in the new year, Lord Ye received a lot of rewards. Could it be a sign that they would have to see this kind of scene often this year?

Hey, what did Uncle Ye do again? I really want to go home and beat the kid! Goods are thrown away when compared, and children are beaten when compared! Otherwise, I'd better go back and beat the kid!

And with so many rewards, the emperor is really generous! In comparison, their usual rewards, both in quantity and quality, are not even half of Ye Boye's. Is this the difference between favor and not favor?

They have similar ideas to the eldest prince, and the emperor is also partial to him. When will he be partial to them? Moreover, the reward is so huge, can the emperor's small treasury support it?

Emperor Jingming said happily that these were really just a drizzle. The national treasury was a little tight before, not to mention his own small treasury, which was really scarce. He could only count the tax silver every day, fearing that some natural disaster or man-made disaster would occur somewhere, so he not only had to reduce or exempt the tax silver, but also provide subsidies.

Now I think the days of counting every ounce of money I spent are finally over!

But with Lord Ye's method of making salt and ice, Emperor Jingming can happily tell you that money is something outside of my body and I don't value it at all.

Before I started this business, I never thought it would be so profitable! After I started it, I realized how good it is!

Now people in the Ministry of Revenue are happy every day. They don't stare at those trivial matters every day. There are also special people who communicate with businessmen from time to time, just to learn some business skills, summarize them and teach them to the emperor, and then wait for the silver to be deposited into the account. Although the emperor's share has dropped from 28% at the beginning to 46% now, how to say it, this silver is much more stable than tax silver or something like that.

If the status of merchants was not so low, they would all want to quit their official positions and go into business, but it must be said that life with money is really comfortable!

As a result, many officials now feel nervous when they see the Ministry of Revenue. Compared with the stinginess in the past, it is now generous. Although they don’t allocate funds every time, it is much better than before.

But it's even more frightening, isn't it? Looking at the smiling faces of the Ministry of Revenue, it always feels like they have been driven insane by the silver. This also makes them much more cautious when withdrawing silver, but it's still a bit creepy!
