Chapter 179 Doctor Zhang was demoted
On the second day, Doctor Ye took Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan to meet Imperial Physician Xu. In the next few days, the two of them followed Doctor Ye to meet many of his friends.
Most of Dr. Ye’s friends are doctors working in clinics in the capital.
Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan both knew that Doctor Ye was using his connections to pave the way for Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan.
Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan were both grateful. They knew that Doctor Ye's intention was to hope that they could go further on the path of medical skills, and also to ensure that there would be someone to look after them in case he left the capital.
Whenever he met a doctor, Doctor Ye would introduce Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan, and exaggerate their medical skills. Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan would show off their medical skills in front of the doctors, whether diagnosing illnesses or prescribing medicines. They performed very well. This made the doctors look at them with new eyes, and also won some face for Doctor Ye.
In addition to meeting people with Doctor Ye, Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan read various medical books in the library of Huibin Building.
From time to time, Xu Junpeng would take Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan to see the doctors in his small circle. Relatively speaking, the doctors in Xu Junpeng's small circle were all young.
.........
Chuanshan County, Huichun Medical Clinic, in the backyard room where Manager Zhou works.
"I called Doctor Zhou, Doctor Liang, and Doctor Cheng here today to talk to you about something and to clarify some things.
One day, the Qingshui Town Clinic reported a matter, saying that their clinic had developed a medicine that was very useful and effective in treating certain diseases.
Qingshui Town Clinic reported this matter, but why didn't it come to me, nor did it report it to the Fucheng Clinic? After I investigated this matter, I found out that it was you, Doctor Cheng, who handled it?" Shopkeeper Zhou looked at Doctor Cheng and asked.
Originally, Doctor Cheng did not report the matter of Bai Yan's development of penicillin, and the matter would have been let go. However, Bai Yan's official rank was suppressed in the imperial study that day, and Wu Chen was furious at Cui Shan. Wu Chen thought of the report submitted by Doctor Ye, which said that someone delayed reporting the matter of Bai Yan's development of penicillin. Wu Chen took the opportunity to get angry and sent a pigeon letter directly to Manager Zhou of Chuanshan County, asking him to investigate the matter thoroughly.
When Doctor Cheng heard Shopkeeper Zhou's question and saw that Shopkeeper Zhou looked gloomy, his heart skipped a beat and his expression changed slightly. He originally thought that the matter could be settled, but he didn't expect that the people above would still pursue it. He hesitated for a moment, and finally answered with a stiff upper lip: "Shopkeeper Zhou, this matter was indeed handled by me.
At that time, I felt that the drugs reported by the Qingshui Town Clinic were not of much value, so I did not report them to you or the Fucheng Clinic. I… I also wanted to save some energy for the clinic. After all, we have to see so many patients every day, and you have so many things to deal with. "
Shopkeeper Zhou frowned slightly when he heard this. He was not someone who could be easily fooled. He said slowly, "Doctor Cheng, someone down there has developed a drug. Whether it is useful or not is not up to you or me to decide.
We just need to do our own part. Moreover, the curator is concerned about this matter and sent me a pigeon message asking me to handle it."
Doctor Cheng felt even more uneasy when he heard this. He knew that he might have caused a big disaster this time, and he couldn't help but regret his original decision. He gritted his teeth and decided to confess everything: "Manager Zhou, how do you deal with this?"
“I didn’t handle it. I just informed you of the result according to the curator’s decision.
Doctor Cheng, you delayed reporting the special medicine developed by your subordinate clinic, resulting in the medicine not being able to be used on the people of the world in a timely manner, which subsequently caused many people who needed to use this medicine to lose their lives.
In the future, you will be demoted to a town-level clinic to practice medicine, and you will never be allowed to work in a county-level clinic again." Shopkeeper Zhou ordered Wu Chen to punish Doctor Cheng.
Doctor Cheng was relieved when he heard the result, fortunately his son was not implicated.
Afterwards, Doctor Cheng lowered his head silently and walked out of the room, his heart full of regret and annoyance.

On this day, Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan were on their way back from a party with Xu Junpeng.
"Brother Xu, how much does it cost to buy a two-story courtyard in the capital?" Xu Qingyi thought that his family would settle in the capital in the future, so it would be more reliable to ask Xu Junpeng, a local, about buying a house.
Hearing this, Xu Junpeng thought for a moment, then said: "Qingyi, the housing prices in the capital are not low, whether it is a one-story or two-story courtyard.
The specific amount depends on the location of the yard, its age, interior decoration, furniture, etc. Generally speaking, at least three thousand taels of silver should be prepared.
Now let’s take the inner city and the outer city for example. Sometimes even if you have money, you can’t buy a house in the inner city that suits your taste. The same house in the inner city costs twice as much as in the outer city.”
"How many thousand taels of silver?" Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan looked at each other, both a little surprised. Although they knew that the prices in the capital were high, they didn't expect that buying a courtyard would cost so much money.
Before coming to the capital, Xu Qingyi and Bai Yan sold the money they earned in Lingshan Prefecture last year and some things given by Prince Xun. Now they only have three thousand taels of silver each.
From this perspective, these three thousand taels of silver probably can't even buy a house with two courtyards.
The house has only six or seven rooms, including the gatehouse, wing rooms and main house, and this is considered a larger courtyard.
Bai Yan's family is small, so they can buy a house with a courtyard.
However, the Xu family has a large population, about ten people, and the rooms in the first courtyard are not enough to accommodate them, so they have to buy a courtyard with a second courtyard.
"Qingyi, the capital city is under the feet of the emperor. It is not like other places. Every inch of land is worth a lot of money. Food, clothing, housing and transportation are much more expensive than other places. Naturally, the housing prices are not cheap.
You two want to buy a property in Beijing?" Xu Junpeng explained.
Xu Qingyi nodded and said, "I do have this idea, and I plan to bring my family to the capital, and settle down in the capital in the future.
However, I didn’t expect that housing in Beijing is not cheap, and I’m afraid the money we brought with us might not be enough.”
"You can wait until after the medical competition. Maybe you two can make it into the top ten of the competition. Then you can be rewarded with a sum of money. Isn't this money enough?" Xu Junpeng joked with a smile.
Unexpectedly, in the end, Xu Junpeng's words came true.
"What Brother Xu said is right. It reminds us, Qingyi, let's wait until the medical competition is over before we look for or buy a house." Bai Yan nodded seriously.
