Chapter 2873 Frustration
Zhou Man personally sent the person to the door of the medical office, and said with a smile: "I made a reservation in the Dashun Pavilion, and I also invited Fang Xiancheng to accompany me. How about we discuss this medicinal material in detail in the evening?"
Master Fang glanced at the two competitors and partners, and nodded with a smile, "It is better to be respectful than to obey."
When they were all gone, Man Bao let out a breath and said to May: "I have been walking around with my neighbors recently, and I have also visited the county town. When I look back at the medical office, I need to choose a few capable assistants. , specially for the doctors."
May said: "Miss, that must be a medicine boy, right?"
Man Baodao: "The division of labor can be more detailed, and some things that do not need to be done by medicine boys can also be used after training."
It is more difficult to distinguish the medicinal materials from the medicines, the processing of medicinal materials, etc. It must be done by a person who is a medicine boy apprentice or above, but other chores can be hired.
But May said: "Miss, your medical department has to have patients before you invite them? Didn't you say that the medical department doesn't have much money? You are still spending so much, you are not afraid that it will be even tighter in the future."
Man Bao said confidently: "There are no patients now, and there will be in a few days. Talents must be cultivated first, otherwise there will be more patients coming back, not only busy, but also many things, and then there will be no time to deal with these things."
Wuyue felt that what she said made sense, so she nodded, "Don't worry, ma'am, I'll go to the county town tomorrow."
Man Bao is satisfied.
In the evening, I took the cakes to the Dashun Restaurant for dinner.
She invited Fang Xiancheng to accompany her. The people she saw today, Mr. Huang and the shopkeeper Shi, also invited over. Even the two doctors who were sitting in the Hundred Herbs Hall and Renhe Hall also invited over. There was a discussion about medicine.
This time, Ji Shitang from Qingzhou also sent a shopkeeper. Because of natural reasons, Ji Shitang also stood on Zhou Man’s side. Therefore, when talking about drug prices today, Ji Shitang’s shopkeeper Zheng paid the price directly. The lowest price is not negotiable.
Taking the words of Ji Shitang, Man Bao and the shopkeepers of the three pharmacies said: "The original intention of the medical office is to help the world, not to compete with the private medical centers and drug stores for the source of the disease. Xiaoyuan and I both hope to be able to cooperate with local medical centers. The pharmacy will make a total profit and a win-win situation, even your Majesty, I also hope that the world's medical and pharmacy stores are everywhere, and everyone can go to the medical pharmacy to see a doctor when they get sick."
She said: "In the final analysis, the medical department is mainly aimed at the poor people, and these people may have looked down on doctors once in their lives in the past, so this aspect has little impact on the medical department's pharmacy; as for the dignitaries, the rich The group of the nobility,"
Man Bao smiled and said: "The medical department does not offer discounts to those who can afford medical treatment. So, where they choose to seek medical treatment, naturally it can only be because of medical skills."
She said: "I have already sent a letter to Xiao Yuanzheng, requesting that the officers of the local medical offices communicate more with the doctors of the local medical offices and pharmacies, so as to learn and improve together. When it comes to medical skills, even though I am a good student. Comprehensive, but medical skills may not be as good as a few, let alone crouching tigers and hidden dragons, there are few doctors in the world with good medical skills."
Everyone heard that they were relieved, especially the shopkeepers and doctors of Ji Shitang, Baicaotang, and Renhetang, and their worries instantly disappeared a lot.
The shopkeeper Zheng of Jessetang in Qingzhou lowered his eyes and thought, no wonder there have been rumors in the capital that they will do their best to support Lord Zhou. It seems that the capital has reached a consensus.
Shopkeeper Shi and Shopkeeper Zhao looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.
Even Fang Xiancheng hinted: "With Lord Bai here, what are you worried about? Lord Bai is our Beihai County's parental official, so he wants to be our Beihai County."
Shopkeeper Shi and Shopkeeper Zhao grinned on their faces, but hummed in their hearts, these people are important, isn’t the person next to them important?
However, Zhou Man's words still gave them a lot of peace of mind, so they all toasted and took a sip.
Zhou Man took advantage of the situation and asked, "How many days will it take to prepare the medicinal materials set by the medical department?"
Several people looked at each other, and Master Fang was the first to say: "I can prepare it for the adults in three days."
The others immediately said: "I can prepare it in three days."
The matter of medicine was settled in this way, and Man Bao was content to prepare for other matters.
She was very generous, and hired three helpers for the medical department in one breath, specializing in chores such as cleaning and cooking.
As soon as the medicinal materials arrived, she filled the county town's notices, bought two firecrackers and set them off in front of the door, and then concentrated on waiting for the patient to come.
But she held her chin and waited in the hospital for two days and no one came, not a single patient!
She felt that it must be because everyone didn't know that the hospital was opened, so when she asked the watchmen to start the watch, she banged the gong and shouted that the hospital was officially accepting patients.
Two days later, no one came, but Man Bao went to see Dahua three times, and asked Dahua to help her promote it in the neighborhood.
However, after half a ten-day period, there were only Man Bao and Dajixibing in the medical office with big eyes and small eyes.
May came over with a feather duster and patted the dust all the way, and stood behind Zhou Man and sighed, "Miss, no one, do those three helpers want them to come next month?"
Man Bao: …
She hesitated a bit, frowned and asked, "Why is there no one? We used to say in the capital that there is no need for money to see a doctor. As long as everyone comes to see it, if they are not sick, they have to queue up for the imperial doctor of our imperial hospital to touch it. "
Who knows this?
He was sighing when the sound of horse hooves came from outside the gate. Zhou Man jumped up when he heard the sound, and ran out. When he ran outside the gate, he happened to see Bai Shan throwing the horse whip in his hand to the guard, turning around and striding towards her. .
Man Bao saw that he was dressed in blue clothes, and the hem was stained with soil, but he had not seen him for ten days. Footsteps, standing on the steps staring blankly at him.
Bai Shan smiled and hurried up the steps. Seeing that she looked at him in a daze, he raised his hand and scratched her nose twice, and asked with a smile, "I'm already standing in front of you, what are you thinking about?"
Seeing the smile on his face, Man Bao didn't feel that the difficulties he encountered were difficulties, "Let's go home, I have a lot to tell you."
Bai Shan nodded, "I also have a lot to say to you."
The two stopped riding horses at all, and walked back through the alley holding hands. Bai Shan first told her, "Everywhere I go, I tell the villagers that the Qingzhou Medical Office is going to be located in Beihai County. , let them come to the city to find you when they are sick."
Then he told her very excitedly, "I saw the sea!"
His eyes were bright, and he looked down at Man Baodao as if filled with stars: "Can you imagine? Looking up, it seems that there is sea water all the way to the horizon, bigger than every big lake I've ever seen, with high tides. Sometimes the waves are so big that they seem to be able to roll people to the bottom of the sea."
See you tomorrow
