After waiting for a while, the doctor came over and pulled out the acupuncture. Emperor Ming Yuan really didn't feel the pain now and said: "This acupuncture has a miraculous effect!"
The doctor smiled and said: "Abdominal pain is mostly due to qi blockage. Pricking acupuncture points to dredge the qi and blood will naturally relieve the pain. Of course, the Huoxiang Pills you took are also useful."
The medicine boy took the medicine, gave some instructions, and wrote down the name. Of course it was a fake name, but the medicine boy took a notebook and wrote it down. Emperor Ming Yuan saw that there were many people who owed money in the notebook.
He couldn't help but ask: "Aren't you afraid that the patient won't come back to settle the bill?"
The medicine boy smiled and said: "No, our medicine fees are not expensive, so patients will not default on their bills. If there is a defaulter, I won't show him the next time I come back."
After taking two medicines, acupuncture and taking a Huoxiang pill, the price was thirty cents. After writing it down, the medicine boy left.
"Only thirty cents!" Emperor Ming Yuan said softly, is there really any money to be made?
After leaving the hospital, Emperor Ming Yuan had a purpose for his trip and went to Yuan Qingling's hospital to have a look.
Because he was feeling unwell, Eunuch Mu Ru went in and asked for a carriage when he passed Prince Sun's Mansion and went all the way to the hospital.
The hospital is busier than the medical center. The doctors are meticulous in their examinations and concentrate on taking medicines. The patients line up one by one, take medicines and pay.
Emperor Ming Yuan asked Eunuch Mu Ru to stop a few patients outside and asked them about the situation in detail. The patients were full of praise for the hospital, not only that the medical fees were cheap, but also that the doctor's attitude was very good and considerate.
Eunuch Mu Ru asked the patient again what he thought of Baoyuantang. The patients shook their heads and waved their hands, saying that they could not go there. If they were not seriously ill, they would rather go up the mountain to grab some herbs to eat.
When he returned to the palace at dusk, Emperor Ming Yuan did not say a word, but in the evening, he asked Eunuch Mu Ru to go to the Huimin Office to issue an order, asking the Huimin Office to set an upper limit for drug prices and submit it to the cabinet for review.
This is the first time Emperor Ming Yuan has made changes and restrictions on drug prices since he came to the throne.
As soon as Mr. Wu, the head of the Huimin Office, received the imperial edict, someone from Princess Houji's Mansion came to tell him that Liu Guoshou had invited him to come over and have tea.
How could Mr. Wu not know Liu Guoshou's purpose? He wanted to politely refuse, but the people in the Princess's Mansion didn't give him a chance, and he didn't dare to offend the people in the Princess's Mansion, so he had to go there.
At the same time, Dr. Cao was also invited to the princess mansion.
Doctor Cao had been supported by Liu Guoshou, so he treated Liu Guoshou with great respect. Liu Guoshou put a stack of banknotes in front of him, and Doctor Cao became nervous, "This..."
"This is the money I gave you for tea, just take it." Liu Guo drank tea in his hand and said slowly.
"I can't do it, I can't do it. It's up to the lower officials to respect you." Dr. Cao's expression changed and he said.
Liu Guoshou said calmly: "Take it, silver won't eat people, don't look scared."
"It's true that you don't get reward for your merits!" Dr. Cao said sarcastically.
Liu Guoshou looked over through the dense fog with his sharp eyes, "That's right. Then help me do something. Don't worry, I won't embarrass you too much. You just need to go back and give a message to the doctors."
