Take the hospital back to ancient times

Chapter 11 Who Will Be Behind the Scenes

In Bianliang City, there are countless medical clinics. The reason why the five most famous medical clinics can become the first echelon is because some of these five medical clinics have people who work as imperial physicians in the Imperial Palace Hospital.

Because whoever can become an imperial physician represents the royal certification, which also represents the superb medical skills. What better live advertisement than the royal family?

However, the number of places in the imperial hospital is limited. Not only must good medical skills, but also connections in the palace, and the ability to convince the public is a good thing. The competition among various medical centers is very fierce, and dirty things are frequent. There are endless.

Don't you think that people who practice medicine must be indifferent to fame and fortune?

What a joke.

Opening a medical clinic means doing business, and a shopping mall is like a battlefield, which is very cruel. To use the words of later generations to describe it as "the law of the jungle".

This is also the main reason why Chen Jinbai felt that Chen Buxi, a good old man, would not be able to be the future "Patriarch". The one who can be the Patriarch must be a decisive person.

As a result, when Chen Li heard it, he laughed instead.

Chen Jinbai looked at his wife with a displeased face, "What are you laughing at? I'm so worried, but you can still laugh."

Chen Li sat down on the chair next to Chen Jinbai, lowered his head and asked, "Second Master, we have been together for more than 40 years, what do you think of me?"

"Uh, so what if you're a good judge of people?"

"Since the second master thinks that I am very accurate in judging people, then I don't think all the juniors in our family are useless. At least the seventh brother will definitely be a talented person in the future."

When Chen Jinbai heard it, his eyes popped out:

"I think you are becoming more and more confused as you get older. Just like Lao Qi, who can't even copy the correct prescriptions. Do you think he can become an imperial physician and inherit the family head in the future?"

Chen Li just stroked his beard, smiled and said:

"Second Master, you will know in the future. In terms of intelligence and calculation, no one else can compare with him. Where do you think he got all these herbs?"

"Where did you get it? Didn't you pick it yourself? Let me tell you."

"I inquired about it. Seventh brother got this in exchange for kebabs, and he convinced everyone. You see, he didn't do any work, but he made people willing to give him the medicinal materials. That's his skill.

If it wasn't for this kid's ignorance and incompetence, he picked the least valuable medicinal materials, otherwise he would have reached the standard of two taels of silver no matter what, let him escape this hurdle by chance, and we would have no chance to attack him .Hehehe. "

Chen Jinbai rolled his eyes: "Speaking of it, it's not like he's ignorant, he doesn't know how to grasp the opportunity."

Chen Li shook his head: "I don't think so. He just doesn't want to take the benefits of others and let them be punished. I heard that the eldest brother said that he would give Huang Jing to him, and the third brother asked him to take whatever he wanted, but he didn't." hands on.

What does this mean?This shows that Qi Geer is kind-hearted and pays attention to brotherhood.The main reason is that we didn't put too much pressure on him. He was really under pressure, and he had a way to complete the task.I believe that he has been whipped a few times this time, and it is time to learn his lesson. "

When Chen Jinbai heard this, he was still skeptical in his heart. In fact, in his heart, he had already blacklisted his youngest son.

At best, it can only be regarded as clever.

But right now, he still has one worrying thing.

"The juniors can talk about it slowly, but I really can't see through the current difficulties. Chen Li, take a look at these books. The recent income is obviously abnormal. After careful calculation, we have suffered serious losses in the past two years.

Also, our medical clinic always encounters some faults, and even lifts up a dead person to say that we put him to death.You said that it is normal to have a few in a year, but there are people making noise every two days.They also slandered us in front of everyone. It was rumored everywhere in Bianliang that we sold fake medicines and scolded us for being incapable of medical skills.

And look at these urgent letters, which I just received, the several batches of medicinal materials we purchased from the southwest and southeast were all robbed halfway, and this time they also injured the lives of several escorts.

Old man, do you think this phenomenon is normal?I always feel that there is a black hand behind us, always ready to attack our Jing Shitang. I have no evidence, but I am worried about Zhong Zhong.Nothing is going well with the family or the hospital. "

Chen Li was shocked when he heard it, and quickly picked up the urgent letter and read it.

"This, this, Er Ye, this is the tenth batch of medicinal materials that were robbed in two years, right? The loss of tens of thousands of taels each time adds up to almost 20 taels. This is troublesome."

Jing Shitang's family has a big business. Although opening a medical clinic makes money, it also costs a lot.
Now that medicinal materials are robbed, it is equivalent to "losing blood"; while medical centers are often disturbed by people, and normal operations cannot be carried out, so it is quite impossible to "replenish blood".

This time and again, King Shitang experienced an economic crisis.

Especially the shortfall of 20 taels of silver was definitely a major blow that made things worse. Jing Shitang's old background for many years was hollowed out.

This time the Chen family came to Jingshi Mountain collectively. Apart from assessing the juniors, the main reason was actually to personally check the planting and processing of medicinal materials. They wanted to see whether the medicinal materials had quality problems as rumored by the outside world?
Chen Jinbai also said weakly,
"You said that our Chen family has always been kind to others, upholding Taoism's quietness and inaction, and has always been aloof from the world. Who is going to put our Chen family to death?"

Chen Li put down the letter, narrowed his eyes and said:

"It's not difficult to guess. Our colleagues are enemies. Except for those in our medical practice, others have no conflict of interest with us. Second master, if you think about it again, if our Chen family collapses, who will benefit the most? Then this person is Behind the scenes."

"Who is most beneficial?"

Chen Jinbai's eyes became a line, and his mind was also changing rapidly.

"If our Chen family collapses, all medical centers will be happy to see it succeed, especially the other four major medical centers, but if we say that the one with the most benefits, it should be the 'Gushengtang' on Ma Xing Street, right?

Our Jing Shitang practiced the typhoid school, while they followed the febrile disease school, and their ideas have always been at odds.The eldest brother is in the Imperial Hospital, and he often argues with Cui Wenmao who came out of Gushengtang.The most important thing is that our specialty is mainly to treat fever. "

Chen Li also squinted his eyes:

"There is another one. The Gushengtang is the largest medical center in Bianliang City. It has many contacts with the powerful and powerful in the city. The strength and network in its hands are extraordinary. If they want to block our medicinal materials halfway, they have this motive and completely strength."

The more the two of them thought about it, the more likely it was that Gushengtang was playing tricks.

Because the Pan family of "Quanmingtang" and the Du family of "Xuanxingtang" had intermarried with their Chen family, and both parties were related by marriage, it was impossible to kill them.

And the rest is the Zhu family of "Precious Medicine Forest",
If there is a contradiction, it is because there is a contradiction between the "Baoyaolin" of the Yishui School and the "Xuanxing Hall" of the Repairing Tu School, and it cannot be compared with the "Jingshi Hall" of the Shanghan School.

Chen Jinbai and Chen Li, the master and servant, looked at each other, and they both saw strong suspicion in each other's eyes.
