Chapter 11 Who is the mastermind behind the scenes
In Bianliang City, I don’t know how many clinics have opened. Why can the five most famous clinics become the first echelon? It is because all of these five clinics are working as imperial physicians in the Imperial Palace Hospital.
Because who can become an imperial physician, this represents the certification of the royal family and the skill of medical skills. What better life advertisement than the royal family?
However, the number of places in the Imperial Hospital is limited. Not only should the medical skills be good, but it also needs to be related to the palace and be able to convince the public. This is a good thing to squeeze out. The competition among various clinics is very fierce, and dirty things are frequent.
Don’t think that those who practice medicine must be indifferent to fame and fortune?
What a joke.
Opening a clinic means doing business. Shopping malls are like battlefields, which is very cruel. To use later generations to describe it as "the law of the jungle".
This is also the main reason why Chen Jinbai feels that Chen doesn't like this good man, and it is difficult for him to be competent for the future "head of the family". Those who can become head of the family must be decisive people.
As a result, when Chen Li heard this, he laughed.
Chen Jinbai looked at his wife with an unhappy look, "Why are you laughing? I'm so worried, you can still laugh."
Chen Li sat on the chair next to Chen Jinbai, lowered his head and asked, "Second Master, we have been with him for more than 40 years. What do you think of my vision?"
"Well, it's very accurate to look at people, so what?"
"Second Master thinks that I am very accurate in judging people, then I think that our juniors are definitely not all useless. At least, Brother Qi will definitely be a talent in the future."
When Chen Jinbai heard this, his eyes popped out:
"I think you are getting more and more confused as you get older. Just like Lao Qi, you can't even copy the prescription correctly. Do you think he can become an imperial physician and inherit the head of the family in the future?"
Chen Li just stroked his beard and said with a smile:
"Second Master, you will know in the future. In terms of intelligence and calculation, no one else can compare to him. Where do you think his herbs come from?"
"Where did it come from? Didn't I pick it myself? I said."
"I asked, this was exchanged for the Qi Ge'er with the barbecue kebabs, and it made everyone convinced. You see, he didn't do anything, but he could make people willing to give him the medicinal materials. This is the ability.
If this kid hadn’t learned anything and had chosen the most valuable medicinal materials, he would have been able to meet the standard of two taels of silver anyway, so that he would have escaped this level by chance, and we would not have the chance to attack him. Hahaha.”
Chen Jinbai rolled his eyes: "After all the time, this is ignorant, and he doesn't know how to seize 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 he wanted to exchange Polygonatum for him, and the third brother asked him to take it casually, but he didn't even take action.
What does this mean? This shows that Brother Qi is kind-hearted and pays attention to brotherhood. The main reason is that we didn’t put too much pressure on him. He is really under pressure and can do the job. I believe that he should learn from a few whips this time.”
After hearing this, Chen Jinbai was still skeptical in his heart. In his heart, he had already put his youngest son on the blacklist. Even if he beat him to death, he would not believe that his youngest son would have a future.
At most, it can only be considered a clever mind.
But there was still something troublesome in front of him.
"You can talk about the things that are happening slowly for the younger generation, but I really can't see through the difficulties in front of you. Chen Li, come and take a look at these account books. The recent inputs are obviously abnormal. If you calculate carefully, we have actually suffered serious losses in the past two years.
Also, our clinic always encounters some troubles, and even carries a dead person to say that we are cured. You said that it is normal for a few years, but people come to make noise every few days. They even slander us in front of everyone. There are legends everywhere in Bianliang City that we sell fake medicines and scold us for not being able to do medical skills.
And look at these expedited letters, the several batches of medicinal materials I just received were all robbed halfway through the road, and this time I also injured the lives of several car escorts.
Old man, are you normal? I always feel that there is a black hand behind me, always ready to attack our Jingshitang. I have no evidence, but I am worried. Nothing goes well in this family and the clinic."
When Chen Li heard this, he was shocked and quickly picked up the expedited letter and read it.
"This, this, this, Erye, this is the tenth batch of medicinal materials that have been robbed in two years, right? The total loss of tens of thousands of taels of silver is almost 200,000 taels, which is a problem."
Jingshitang's family is big and the business is big. Although it makes money to open a clinic, it also costs a lot.
Now that medicinal materials are robbed, it is equivalent to "blood loss"; while clinics are often caused by trouble and cannot be carried out in normal operations, it is quite playful and cannot "replenish blood".
This time, Jingshitang suffered an economic crisis.
Especially the deficit of 200,000 taels of silver is definitely a major blow to the point of injury. Jingshido's long-term old foundation has been emptied.
This time, the Chen family came to Jingshishan together. In addition to assessing the younger generation, the main reason was to personally check the planting and preparation of medicinal materials. I just wanted to see if the medicinal materials have quality problems like the legends outside?
Chen Jinbai said powerlessly,
"You said that our Chen family has always been kind to others, upholding the Taoist tranquility and inaction, and has always been in conflict with the world. Who is going to kill our Chen family?"
Chen Li put down the letter and said with his eyes:
"It's not difficult to guess this matter. The colleagues are enemies. Except for the people in our medical industry, others have no conflict of interest with us. Second Master, think about it again, if our Chen family collapses, who is the most beneficial to us? Then this person is the mastermind behind the scenes."
“Who is the most favorable?”
Chen Jinbai's eyes were all in a line, and his mind was quickly reborn.
"If our Chen family collapses, all clinics will be happy to see it happen, especially the other four major clinics. But if the benefits are the most, it should be the "Gushengtang" on Maxing Street?
Our Jingshitang works in the typhoid fever school, while they are in the warm disease school, and their ideas have always been dissatisfied. My elder brother is in the Imperial Hospital and often argues with Cui Wenmao, who came from Gushengtang. The most important thing is that our characteristics are mainly about treating fever."
Chen Li also slid his eyes:
"There is another one. Gushengtang is the largest clinic in Bianliang City. It has many interactions with the powerful and powerful people in the city. Their strength and relationship network are extraordinary. If they want to rob our medicinal materials halfway, they have this motivation and strength."
The more they thought about it, the more they felt that Gushengtang was making a fuss.
Because the Pan family of "Quanmingtang" and the Du family of "Xuanxingtang" have intermarried with their Chen family, and both parties are in-laws, it is impossible to kill them.
And the rest is the Zhu family, the "Treasure Medicine Forest",
If there is a conflict, it is also a conflict between the "Treasure Medicine Forest" who majored in the Yishui School and the "Xuanxingtang" who majored in the earth school, and it cannot be fought with the "Jingshitang" of the typhoid school.
