Chapter five hundred and sixty seventh: great opportunity
The room fell into silence, and the two brothers looked at each other, and no one wanted to give in.
There were bursts of noise outside, and it seemed that it was coming from the building where the Qi delegation lived. Ma Xiangdong stood up, walked to the window, and looked out.
He saw the horse monkey at a glance.
Then he saw Cao Hui. Cao Hui seemed to glance at them, and then his deep voice rang out: "General Qin held a banquet to treat him. Cao was really flattered? Commander Ma, please thank General Qin for me, and said I will definitely arrive on time, hahaha!"
The sound was like a needle tip, and it sounded in Ma Xiangdong's ear. Of course, Cao Hui was deliberately doing it. Ma Xiangdong snorted coldly, closed the window with a slam, and sat back.
Ma Xiangnan looked at the elder brother sympathetically and shook his head, "Brother, look, you deliberately made yourself like a clown and were beaten to pieces by a light invitation. As far as I know, General Qin had already invited Li Zhi alone. Originally, he was not going to hold a banquet for him alone, but after you made this, it would be a good deal for Cao Hui."
Ma Xiangdong's face looked extremely ugly, and after a while, he said, "You are now a high-ranking official of the Taiping Army. Since Qin Feng trusts you, then you know some of his thoughts, right? What exactly did he think? In his heart, Qi and Chu, who is his biggest enemy?"
Ma Xiangnan whispered: "Brother, can't you still see this today? General Qin Feng and Qin are quite mature in politics. In his eyes, it doesn't matter who is the biggest enemy. He is looking at the interests of the entire government. Therefore, it is impossible for Da Chu to just bind him with family affection. Of course, Da Chu doesn't have to take the personal grudges between General Qin and His Majesty too much. In the face of major issues, these things cannot affect too much. General Qin is changing from a sentimental soldier to a rational ruler. Do you understand what I mean?"
Ma Xiangdong nodded. "Have you made up your mind? You really won't go back?"
"Yes, this place is more suitable for me." Ma Xiangnan nodded firmly.
"Cheng Wuben and Jiang Tao are going back, but Jiang Shangyan will still stay, and Baoqingying will also stay. As long as Qin Feng does not disband them, they will stay. This is Cheng Wuben's decision." Ma Xiangdong.
"I see."
"Since you decide to stay, we have to separate." Ma Xiangdong sighed: "From the future, we can only be the Ma family of Chu and the Ma family of Yue. I hope you can understand the elder brother's difficulties."
"Of course I understand!" Ma Xiangnan smiled.
"It's good that this is the case. The Ma family is divided into two. No matter how the form or change in the future, there is always a way out. Although the family is divided, the blood relationship cannot be separated. However, the Yue Kingdom is still very chaotic now. Qin Feng may not be able to solve domestic problems in a short time. Since you are determined to follow him, you can only be careful."
"Thank you, brother for your concern. I still have confidence in this." Ma Xiangnan stood up and bowed deeply to Ma Xiangdong: "Brother, let's leave now. Next, I will not come to see you alone."
Ma Xiangdong nodded, turned his back and stopped looking at his younger brother. Ma Xiangnan also turned around and walked out the door without looking back.
Walking out of the gate of the National Guesthouse, Ma Xiangnan suddenly felt a sense of relief all over his body, and the haze in his heart was swept away in a flash. He stretched his waist long and finally broke free from the invisible net. Now, he could paint the big picture provided to him by Qin Feng.
He let out a long breath and hurriedly walked towards the Imperial Medical Bureau.
Time is endless, I have to seize the day!
He is going to find Shu Chang.
Compared with other government offices, the Imperial Medical Bureau seems much calmer here. In the eyes of all the imperial physicians in the Imperial Medical Bureau, no matter who is in power, as long as people still eat grains and grains, they will naturally get sick. As long as they get sick, they naturally need to see them. Although they are not of high rank and have little power, they are one of the most indispensable people in the capital. For those dignitaries, they are even more undefeated. Whether it is the former Yue Dynasty or the new Taiping Army.
So when other yamen were trembling and doing things seriously with unprecedented efficiency and sincerity, the Imperial Medical Bureau was still a free and easy department.
Dozens of imperial physicians of different grades naturally have their own circles in the Imperial Medical Bureau. From medical officers to the most ordinary imperial physicians, these days they basically sleep on the high platform and sit and watch the storm. It means making a cup of tea and eating melon seeds to watch the fun.
Of course, there were also people who were extremely unhappy, that was the medical officer of the Imperial Medical Bureau. After the Taiping Army entered the city, the person who came to accept the Imperial Medical Bureau was a guy who was only in his thirties and looked dumb. He walked into the gate of the Imperial Medical Bureau with two boys in blue, summoned all the imperial doctors, and then left a sentence concisely and ignored them again.
He said arrogantly.
"This place is my territory from now on. You are all my subordinates. If you work honestly, you will have food to eat, otherwise you will get out of here!"
Of course, everyone still has some tricks when they can become imperial doctors in the Imperial Physician Bureau. In the past, from golden branches and leaves to ordinary officials, who is not polite to them? If ordinary people want to invite them to see a doctor, they have to find them. But in the eyes of this new guy, they seem to be dispensable.
This made them angry. They had decided to give the newcomer a little color. They were preparing to have a collective strike, but the problem was that during this period, the high-ranking officials and nobles who had been suffering from serious illnesses in the past seemed to dare not even get sick, so they had nowhere to use them.
Shu Chang naturally didn't know what they were thinking. In fact, in his heart, most of these people were probably positioned as quack doctors. Shu Chang's name was only limited to a very small circle. Except for the lucky guys in the Death Camp, most of them were top figures such as Ma Xiangdong, Li Zhi, and Deng Pu. His reputation was not well-known.
When Ma Xiangnan walked into the Imperial Medical Bureau, he saw a very loose look. Most of the Imperial Medical Doctors gathered together in groups of three or five to whisper. There were some dry medicinal herbs everywhere in the yard, and some of them were no longer in appearance. Obviously no one took care of them and looked messy.
This surprised Ma Xiangnan because he had seen the style of the Taiping Army. This situation was indeed very rare under the Taiping Army.
"Where is Lord Shu working?" He asked respectfully at an imperial physician with a goatee with fists. He still respects these people very much.
"Mr. Shu?" Goosebeard was obviously stunned for a moment, but immediately reacted, "You mean the guy named Shu Chang, right, he occupied the medical officer's house as soon as he came. He was young and didn't know at all, tsk tsk tsk!"
The goatee shook his head frequently, looking disapproving.
Ma Xiangnan smiled slightly. In their business, age basically represents qualifications. It is rare to be young like Shu Chang, but young does not mean poor skills. He has seen Shu Chang's medical skills. Within the Taiping Army, many people regard him as gods.
Ignoring the goatee's dissatisfaction complaint, he walked straight to Shu Chang's place, and pushed open the door, and was stunned again. The room was even more messy than outside, with paper falling all over the ground. Shu Chang, one foot was raised on the big table, one hand supported his head, and the other hand held the pen in his mouth, holding the tip of the pen in his mouth, dyeing his entire mouth dark.
He bent down and picked up a piece of paper from the ground, with a title written on it, "Plan for the layout of the medical system nationwide."
Ma Xiangnan was stunned for a moment, with a national layout. This was a big article. Looking at Shu Chang's appearance, it looked like a headache.
"Mr. Shu, you are doing a big article, amazing!" Ma Xiangnan walked over and knocked on Shu Chang's table.
Shu Chang looked at Ma Xiangnan, her posture remained unchanged, but she just lifted the tip of her pen away from the corner of her mouth, looking bitter, "The question that Crazy Qin explained is hard to death. If you want me to treat the disease and save your life, it is easy to get it. Isn't it my life to let me do this?"
Looking at Ma Xiangnan, his eyes suddenly lit up. He laughed loudly, suddenly jumped up, threw the pen, pulled Ma Xiangnan up, and seemed very enthusiastic: "Mr. Ma, why are you free to come to me today? Since I'm here, I can't let you go today. We two have to have a few drinks."
As soon as Shu Chang was enthusiastic, Ma Xiangnan felt creepy all over his body. Speaking of which, he really didn't have much friendship with Shu Chang, and he just nodded. If something happened abnormal, he would be a monster. He glanced at Shu Chang and looked at the waste paper all over the ground. Ma Xiangnan immediately understood what Shu Chang was thinking.
"Mr. Shu, this is the question given to you by General Qin. I can't do it. I have specialized in my profession and medical skills. I don't understand it." He refused neatly.
Shu Chang, who grabbed Ma Xiangnan, refused to let go, "Don't try to get away with it. You are a talented man. You don't understand medical skills, but isn't this layout and planning your strength? Ma, we are not polite. If you help me do this, I can't treat you badly. Could it be that you don't ask for me in the future? We two brothers are good, or we will break up, and I will not recognize you in the future."
Listening to the threat, Ma Xiangnan couldn't laugh or cry, but in a blink of an eye, his eyes became brighter than Shu Chang.
What a great opportunity! Great opportunity!
