Yuan Qingling stood at the door of the house, staring at her with cold eyes. She had always had a calm temperament, and she rarely got angry in recent years, but it was the first time that she was so furious and unable to suppress her anger like today.
Princess Huiping's eyes were equally vicious and cold, her eyes were like thin blades and she wanted to crush Yuan Qing to ashes.
After running a medical clinic and drug store for so many years, she puts the most emphasis on profit. If anyone wants to harm her business, she will not be lenient.
What about the Crown Princess?
After all, she is just a foreigner, not as noble as her surname Yuwen. Especially in recent years, although she has rarely been involved in royal affairs, she understands Yuan Qingling's temperament very clearly. On the surface, she is hypocritical and acts kindhearted, but in fact she is weak and can be bullied.
, very funny.
If her father and brother hadn't protected her because of how many sons she had given birth to, she would have died thousands of times. What could she do?
Just because your stomach is angry, you will give birth.
Yuan Qingling's lips curled up, his eyes filled with coldness, and he turned around and returned to the mansion.
The story of the Crown Princess being furious soon spread throughout the Prince of Chu's palace.
Ah Si came over to accompany her, and Tang Yang went to the concierge to learn about the situation. The concierge actually didn't know much, but he could hear Princess Huiping shouting outside, saying that she and the Crown Princess were at odds with each other.
Yuan Qingling was not idle either. He went to the accounting room and started to settle the accounts. He withdrew one million taels to Lao Wu. The money on hand was not much, but it was enough to handle the current affairs.
Fortunately, the eldest princess of Zhenguo did her a big favor. Now many people in Beijing have seen the students' acupuncture skills and know that their medical skills are relatively superb.
After settling the accounts, she summoned Tang Yang and issued several orders in succession. The medical school temporarily stopped admitting students and turned the medical school into a hospital. Every student was required to sit in the clinic, various departments were opened, and patients were triaged.
There are more than 130 students trained in the past three years. Some of them have no medical background, but some are medicine students from various states. They are already following the master and come here because of his reputation.
Take it down.
The second order was to ask someone to find Rong Yue and ask her to help find some prosperous areas in various districts to find shops. They did not need to be decorated, just simple medicine cabinets, and asked her to continue to see the doctor for consultation.
This must be done as soon as possible.
The third order is to ask someone to invite the drug purchasing official from the Huimin Department. She will purchase the goods directly from the Huimin Department, which will earn money for the Huimin Department, which can be used by the Huimin Department to meet other expenses and ensure an adequate supply of drugs.
The fourth order asked people to post notices and inform people in the streets and alleys that the Crown Princess would open a hospital and medical clinic, which would be able to divert most of the patients in Beijing within five days, and all the doctors in the hospital and even various medical clinics would be there.
They are students taught by the old lady, a miracle doctor in Daxingguo, and some of them are famous doctors from various states. Both the consultation fees and medicine fees are cheaper than other medical clinics.
Ah Si had never seen Yuan Qingling give an order so decisively. She was stunned for a moment. When the last order was given, she asked blankly: "How much cheaper?"
Yuan Qingling's eyes were cold, "When the officials from the Huimin Department come over, I will carefully look at the drug prices and calculate the cost first. Even if I don't make a dime, I will destroy Huiping!"
The accountant was trembling when he heard this, "If you don't make money, then the price of medical treatment will be low."
Yuan Qing Ling calmed down her anger and said: "It was just an angry talk. You can't lower the price too low. It should be slightly higher than the Huimin Department, but it must be much lower than them, because if there is really no profit, people will die."
Other medical clinics, of course, most of the medical clinics in Beijing, even if they are not owned by Huiping, are now controlled by her. Listen to her words. I didn’t want to take this step, but Huiping is going too far. If the medical expenses are allowed
If you remain so high, the people's anger will be like water, and it will surely capsize the boat."
After Tang Yang heard this, he felt relieved. He was really afraid that the princess had lost her mind. If the medical clinic didn't make money, there would be big trouble. There were so many private medical clinics in Northern Tang Dynasty, and the people were all dependent on them.
After Mr. Fang, an official from the Huimin Department, came over, he analyzed it with Yuan Qingling, "In the medical clinic in Beijing, the consultation fee is about fifty to one hundred yuan. This is the price of a sit-in consultation. If it is a house visit, then
It is a matter of discussion between the patient and the doctor, and the price can range from one tael to a hundred taels of silver. This is not fixed. It depends on what the patient needs the doctor to do. Of course, it involves privacy at home and it is difficult to say.
As for the cost of medicines, many medicines are not expensive in themselves, but many medical clinics will prescribe a lot of expensive medicines to patients. In fact, there are many substitutes for these expensive medicines. A medicine that costs ten cents a piece sometimes costs three or four taels.
The amount of silver is even more than ten taels. I have seen people suffering from qi deficiency. They can just use Codonopsis pilosula and Astragalus root. If they have to prescribe ginseng, won’t the price of this medicine go up? I am responsible for purchasing medicines. Many medicines are purchased.
Drug dealers complain that cheap medicines are rarely used in medical clinics because profits cannot increase. Prunella vulgaris costing five cents a pound can double the profit, but it only costs ten cents. But if you use it,
Cat's claw, that's different. Cat's claw is now available for fifty cents per catty. Double it and it's one hundred cents. These expensive medicines are more than doubled in medical clinics. The more expensive the medicines, the higher the price.
The higher the price, the ginseng you get for two taels of silver can be sold for twelve hundred taels."
Mr. Fang does not need to elaborate on the depth of the water here. Yuan Qingling also knows a thing or two.
"Princess Huiping said that her fifty-three medical clinics pay taxes to the court of more than one million taels every year. Is it possible that it is so much?"
Yuan Qingling asked.
Master Fang smiled lightly, "Princess, the tax of the medical clinic is high, almost 20% of the profit, and the more income, the more tax you pay. How much money Princess Huiping earns every year, I don't know, but it must be
More than five million taels, because in addition to opening a medical clinic and drug store, she also opened a pharmaceutical factory, Yiyi Xiaoyao Pill, which cost only one penny, but she sold it for 20 penny, saying that she added some precious medicinal materials, but ordinary
Those who know the inside story also understand that this Xiaoyao Pill only has a few ingredients, so what kind of precious medicinal materials are needed?"
"What kind of medicine does her pharmaceutical factory produce?"
Yuan Qingling asked.
"They are all common patent medicines, such as Baifeng Pills, Xiaoyao Pills, Lily Tang Pills, etc. The prices are relatively high, but the factories in Beijing that manufacture patent medicines are almost always under her control, so they are forced to pay as high as hers.
, the prices in the state capitals near the capital are basically the same, and she has sent people to take care of them."
"Is there anyone who doesn't want to join her?"
Before Mr. Fang could answer, Ah Si said coldly: "How could it be possible?
Who doesn’t want to make money? If everyone sells at a high price, they will make more money. These people have dark hearts, so aren’t they afraid of retribution?”
Ah Si didn't know this at first. She was from a wealthy family, so why did she need to worry about medical expenses?
When Master Fang said this, her lungs almost exploded with anger.
