815 [Peide Medical School]
Two days later, Xiang Nan’s medical school, Yixiaotang and Shiwei Tianjun successfully found stores.
Yixiaotang, Food is the Sky, is still the same as before in Cangzhou, with doors facing each other. As for the medical school, it is next to Yixiaotang, which facilitates timely rescue of patients.
After finding the store, preparations for decoration began immediately.
The medical school was named and inscribed by Prince Jing as [Pede Medical School], hoping that it would cultivate more good doctors with medical skills and medical ethics.
Peide Medical School immediately began to enroll students, with a limit of forty students, and the annual tuition fee for each person was one hundred taels. That was four thousand taels of silver a year, which was considered a huge sum of money at that time.
Xilaile and Hu Suhua worked hard for half a lifetime and only accumulated more than one hundred taels of silver.
Because of Xiang Nan's reputation, doctors from all over the capital have heard of him and know that his medical skills are superb and unfathomable. He also knows many long-lost medical books and has extensive knowledge, so they all came to sign up one after another.
Among them, there are nephews of the imperial doctors of the imperial hospital, as well as heirs of a family of traditional Chinese medicine in the capital. There are even deceitful doctors who want to study medicine so that they can defraud money in the name of miracle doctors in the future.
All in all, from the day of enrollment, the number of applicants has exceeded 500.
…
Faced with so many applicants, Xiang Nan could not accept them all.
The first step is to eliminate those cheaters. This step is very easy. Many cheaters can’t even memorize the soup song and can figure it out in just one try.
Then they will take exams on hearing, hearing, asking, acupuncture and massage, drug identification, pill processing and many other subjects. In this way, another group of people will be eliminated.
Even so, there are still nearly a hundred people competing for the spots of the forty people.
It turns out that all the imperial doctors and major families understand that this opportunity is rare.
Xiang Nan accepts disciples this year, but he may not accept them next year. After all, the court has been changing over the years, and nothing remains the same.
Therefore, they all want to learn the best and most medical skills in the shortest time, which will help the family inheritance. Therefore, the people sent are basically family elites with superb medical skills, smart and eager to learn.
This is similar to corporate competition. They send commercial spies to steal secrets. Naturally, they should choose spies who are smart, capable, and familiar with the business. Otherwise, if they send someone who is an idiot and study for ten years before becoming an apprentice, everything will be delayed.
Seeing this, Xiang Nan had no choice but to use his last resort - comparing family backgrounds to decide who would be selected.
Whoever has a deeper background, higher status, and greater power will be admitted first.
Although doing so would be somewhat unfair to other students, there is nothing that can be done about it. Throughout the ages, powerful people have always enjoyed more preferential treatment.
This has not changed until modern times.
…
"It seems that Xilaile is really going to make a big move." Wang Tianhe paid close attention to the enrollment of Peide Medical School. Seeing so many colleagues from Taipei Hospital and Chinese medicine families sending their children to sign up, he couldn't help but feel a little jealous.
Although Xiang Nan does not require them to be apprentices, as long as they pass on their skills, there will be a lasting relationship.
If something happens to him, his students may not care about him. And the power of these students together is very important. Even he, Wang Tianhe, has to avoid his sharp edges and dare not directly attack them.
"It seems so." Lu Zhong nodded and said, "Medical schools, pharmacies, and restaurants are all undergoing decoration and construction. It seems like they are really going to do a big job."
"You are such a waste, can't you think of a way to kick him out of Yanjing City?!" Wang Tianhe glared at him and said.
"Master Wang, please don't get angry. I'm thinking about it day and night, wishing I could kick him out, but I haven't been able to find a chance." Lu Zhong said quickly and aggrievedly.
"Getting angry?!" Wang Tianhe was suddenly startled, then his eyes lit up and he glanced at Lu Zhong.
"Getting angry?!" Lu Zhong blinked, wondering what he meant.
Wang Tianhe immediately glared at him again and emphasized again, "Get angry!!"
Lu Zhong thought about it carefully and suddenly realized, "Master Wang, I understand."
…
Large fence at the front door.
Peide Medical School and Yixiao Hall have already put up plaques with the slogan "Food is the Heaven", and they can open for business on an auspicious day.
"Oh, old man, I didn't expect that our Yixiaotang could open such a big store. You are so impressive!" Hu Suhua said, looking at the huge medicine shop.
The facade in Cangzhou was more than half smaller than the current one.
"It's all a reward from the prince, otherwise we wouldn't be able to open such a big store ourselves." Xiang Nan said with a smile, "Come on, let's go see Shiweitian opposite."
Hu Suhua nodded and went to the opposite door with Xiang Nan and Xi Xishi.
"Lady boss, Mr. Xi, Mrs. Xi, I would like to say hello to you!" the waiter greeted with a smile.
After the popularity of Shiwei Tian in the capital, the chefs and waiters from Cangzhou Shiwei Tian also came to Beijing.
"Mr. Xi, Mrs. Xi, we have to change it in the future. This is the eldest master, this is the eldest grandma, call me second grandma." Sai Xishi said with a smile.
"Hey, that's right." The waiter agreed with a smile.
"Sister, you are so good at eating food." Hu Suhua looked at it and praised it with a smile.
After these days of getting along, she found that Sai Xishi was actually a good person. He was smart, hard-working, considerate, and generous, and he didn't mean to compete with her for favor. He always stood on her side and talked.
Therefore, her relationship with Sai Xishi is getting better and better. Although they cannot be said to be as close as sisters, they are already much stronger than before when they would fight each other like black-eyed chickens when they met.
"Thank you sister for the compliment." Sai Xishi smiled.
…
At this moment, a man passed by carrying a sack.
"Hey, Boss Chen~" the waiter greeted him immediately upon seeing him.
The man looked up and saw the waiter. When he looked inside again, he saw Xiang Nan, Hu Suhua and Sai Xishi. He was so happy that he ran into the store.
"Xi Langzhong, Mrs. Xi, Boss Sai... oh, I really didn't expect to meet here." The man smiled. He was the drug dealer Chen Pi who was knocked out by Meng Qing's Heqi before and was later revived by Xiang Nan.
"Actually, I have always wanted to find Xi Langzhong to express my gratitude in person." Chen Pi smiled again, "You have dealt with Meng Qinghe and brought us nothing but harm to Cangzhou. On behalf of all the pharmacists in Cangzhou, I would like to give you a big gift."
As he said this, he would kneel down and kowtow.
Meng Qinghe colluded with the government in Cangzhou, bullied the market, and monopolized the medicinal materials market.
All medicinal merchants in Cangzhou had to sell to him first after receiving goods from other places. Other herbal medicine shops did not dare to accept medicines from others without his instructions.
Otherwise, he would frame him up and ask the county boss to close the shop and arrest the person.
Because of this, the herbal medicine shops in Cangzhou City were bankrupted, bankrupted, and closed down due to a run on them, resulting in countless losses.
After Meng Qinghe monopolized the market, he aggressively lowered the price of medicinal materials. For medicinal materials worth sixty taels, he only offered twenty taels, causing everyone to lose profits.
After collecting the medicinal materials, he not only sold them for takeout at high prices. He also adulterated the medicines and killed many people. It can be said that he has become a big problem in Cangzhou, and the people all wish he died early.
It's a pity that he had the support of the government, and the people couldn't do anything to him. Now it's better. Meng Qinghe was imprisoned for selling fake medicinal materials and died within a day.
