Chapter 877 – Hundred Herb Garden

After seeing Zhang Zhongjing, Ouyang Shuo had to consider his appointment.

Thinking about it, Ouyang Shuo said, “The position of head of the imperial medicine court is still empty. Would you be willing to take the positon?”

The head would manage the imperial medicine court. Under him would be the court judge, imperial physicians, and other related personnel. When they established the country, territory god physician Bianque was already appointed as the court judge of the imperial medicine court.

“Imperial medicine court?”

Zhang Zhongjing hesitated, as he wanted to work at the Medical Department.

Ouyang Shuo smiled as he knew why Zhang Zhongjing was hesitating, “I think you have a misunderstanding of the imperial medicine court. The organization does not belong to the royal family, and it’s the overall Yamen meant to control the entire dynasty Medical Department.”

The entire Xia Palace only had Ouyang Shuo, Song Jia, and Bing’er. Naturally, he did not need a private medical organization to treat him.

When he was setting up the organizational structure, Ouyang Shuo listed the imperial medicine court as the bureau of medicine.

However, he only called it as such.

The imperial medicine court originated from the Jin Dynasty, coming from the Song and Tang imperial medicine department, it was established into an organization. Its function was very different to the Tang Dynasty imperial medicine department and the Song Dynasty imperial medicine office.

The true imperial medicine court did not only serve the imperial family. In fact, it also was in charge of recruiting doctors, selecting them, sending them out, developing doctors, educating them, and the like.

After listening to the king’s explanation, Zhang Zhongjing understood; this matched what he wanted. He did not hesitate, “Thank you my king for your good grace.”

Ouyang Shuo nodded. With medicine Saint Zhang Zhongjing in charge of the imperial medicine court, the medical standards of the territory would rise another step up. Along with Zhang Zhongjing being appointed as the head of the court, a System Notification spread across the entire China region.

“System Notification: Physician representative figure Zhang Zhongjing has been appointed as the head of the imperial medicine court. Working for the Great Xia Dynasty, he has started taking disciples, meeting the three requirements for the school to move in. School of Medicine has moved into Shanhai City.”

...

“System Notification: School of Medicine has moved into Shanhai City, awarding the title of Land of Medicine as a reward, congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi!”

...

System Notification: With the School of Medicine moving into Shanhai City, the title of Land of Philosophers automatically covers the title of Land of Medicine, awarding Shanhai City with special building Hundred Herb Garden as a reward. Congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi!”

...

Before this, when the School of Business moved in, Gaia had awarded him the hidden building Silver Prayer House. This time, Gaia was not as generous and only gave him a special building.

Name: Hundred Herb Garden

Type: Special Building

Function: herbs in the garden grow at 400% rate

Specialty: raises attraction to physicians by 20%, raises dynasty reputation by 5%

Note: A herb garden to grow herbs. There’s a special formation underneath. With the spiritual energy nourishing the herbs, they are provided them with a perfect environment. Takes up 100 mu of land.

This garden was pretty much the dream of any doctor, and its value was comparable to hidden buildings. This Hundred Herb Garden was not comparable to the one that Mr. Luxun wrote about.

At this very moment, a System Notification sounded out by his ear.

“Congratulations player Qiyue Wuyi for obtaining a Hundred Herb Garden. Please choose where to build it. Friendly Reminder: must be no smaller than hundred mu.”

Ouyang Shuo thought about it. A hundred mu was not small, and there probably was not enough space within the inner city. Hence, he could only build it outside of the city. Ouyang Shuo chose a piece of land on the east outskirts to build the Hundred Herb Garden on.

“System Notification: Location chosen, spawning...”

Along with the System Notification, a white light shone on the east outskirts, and a hundred mu medicinal garden appeared.

Ouyang Shuo told Zhang Zhongjing about it; he was delighted and smiled, “Even the heavens are helping our dynasty. With this magical herb garden, we will have double the efficiency.”

“The garden will be managed by the imperial medicine court.” Ouyang Shuo smiled as he said.

Zhang Zhongjing replied, “I will not let you down!”

...

After sending Zhang Zhongjing away, it was already 4 PM. Finally, Ouyang Shuo had time to deal with the memorials. Along with the country being established, naturally more than just three historical people chose to move over. However, the others were not as famous, so the cabinet had already settled them.

Just as Ouyang Shuo completed his notes on the fifth memorial, someone looked for him; it was the Industrialization Director, Chen Bingguang.

“Greetings my king!”

Ouyang Shuo waved his hand, “Old Chen, please take a seat!”

When Tsing Yi saw that, she personally served tea.

Chen Bingguang came over because of the Shu Mountain Steel Corporation. With the lead of the industrialization, they had established the corporation and the headquarters were set at Steel City.

In Steel City, two large steel factories had been built. The branch of the No.7 Research Institute there would be in charge of researching and improving their steelmaking techniques.

Chen Bingguang suggested they move the mimicry flying device crafting base over. The future Steel City would not be a pure city of steel but a city of industrialization.

New cannons, new guns, steam engine, and other such technologies would slowly move to Steel City.

The Industrialization Department had already planned to build the first iron road to transport iron ore and coal to the steel factories.

At the same time, the ocean route from Steel City to Shanhai City was being opened up. The process would be completed in the 7th month. When that happened, the steel could be transported by sea over to Shanhai City.

The steel corporation that Ouyang Shuo had envisioned was slowly taking shape and becoming the engine of industrialization for the territory.

However, behind this prosperity, there were some problems.

Chen Bingguang came over because the Shu Mountain Steel Corporation was facing problems.

Although it was not fatal, it was not a small problem.

“My king, recently, our coal from West Chu has been attacked by an unknown squadron in the Bohai Sea and the Yellow Sea region, which has affected the coal transport. If this continues, this trading route will be totally cut off.”

The dynasty industrialization was at a crucial stage. The moment the coal supply could not keep up, it would be badly affected.

Currently, the dynasty not only had coal from Steel City, but there was also the coal from Minnan Province. From a long term standpoint, they needed to solve this problem.

Ouyang Shuo frowned, “Did you find out who it was?”

“According to the Navy Headquarters, there’s a high possibility that it’s the Yanhuang Alliance.”

Ouyang Shuo nodded; his guess was similar. After gaining Jack’s help, Di Chen, Zhan Lang, and the others had all started to build navies. Along with Xiong Ba, the three of them formed a line and controlled the ocean rights of the Yellow River and the Bohai Sea.

The Great Xia Dynasty ships transporting coal could not avoid their jurisdiction.

After Jack passed them the technique, Ouyang Shuo expected that a day like this would come. Not only did it affect the ship making industry profits of the Great Xia Dynasty, but it also gave them more opponents in the oceans.

Based on the Shipbuilding Division’s report, the effects were not limited to within the country, as even orders from ASEAN were affected.

Just like that, animosity between Jack and the Great Xia Dynasty was formed.

If he had a chance, Ouyang Shuo did not mind dealing with him. After taking down Morocco, as long as Ouyang Shuo wanted to, he had the chance to enter the American continent.

Of course, if Ouyang Shuo really wanted to go all out, he could seal the Gibraltar Straits and break the trade path between America and the Mediterranean.

The two of them were chess players playing against one another. Now, it was time to see who the better player was.

However, Ouyang Shuo did not expect that Di Chen and the others would be so anxious. Moreover, their methods were so despicable. Based on the intel from the Shanhai Guards, the navy squadrons of Handan City and Blood Red City had not been formed yet.

After the system update, Gaia slowed down the shipbuilding speed, which unavoidably impacted the local production. It was not easy to try and build a fully equipped navy.

The ones that were disturbing the Great Xia Dynasty coal ships were probably their squadron in the early stages. These squadrons were training in the region.

As for disturbing the ships, it was probably a secondary goal.

Be it Di Chen or Zhan Lang, with their family’s help, it was not hard for them to hire modern day navy generals, sailors, captains, and the like.

What they needed was a period of time to adapt.

Ouyang Shuo asked, “As for the specific damages, did the Industrialization Department tabulate it?”

Chen Bingguang nodded, “Yes. Weirdly, the ones most damaged were those from Stone City, and the attacks mostly happened in Bohai Sea. We basically did not face much resistance in Yellow Sea. Even King City’s Zhoushan Squadron did not care about our coal ships.”

A light shone in Ouyang Shuo’s eyes. This news proved the conjecture in his heart. He did not tell it to Chen Bingguang and simply said, “I understand, you can go now!”

“Yes my king!”

Chen Bingguang took his leave. Since the king now knew of the matter, he would have a way to solve it. This matter had exceeded the power of the Industrialization Department, which was why he would come over to report it.

After Chen Binggguang left, Ouyang Shuo looked at Tsing Yi and said, “Send a decree to Honglu Temple, ask them to send envoys to Handan City, Blood Red City, and Stone City. Tell them that if they continue, their merchant ships can forget about passing on the voyage trade route.”

Ouyang Shuo wanted to give them a warning. Some rules could not be broken and should not be broken. If not, it would not be good for anyone.

“Yes my king!”
