Chapter 486: The Matter of Bao Ren Tang
Seeing what Magu said, Lu Chengyang naturally didn't talk about Matthew driving away, so he began to talk about Baorentang.
"I joined Po Yan Tong a year and a half after it was founded. At that time, because the use of Baorentang was too large, King Qin took hundreds of thousands of taels from the treasury every time, and later asked for millions of taels. The emperor felt that there was something strange inside, so he privately searched for me and ordered me to sneak into Baorentang to find out the news. Although I was sent by the emperor, the emperor knew that King Qin would definitely win me over. Sure enough, just a few days after I entered, King Qin used all kinds of tricks to win me over. However, even if I pretend to be sincere, King Qin doesn't seem to trust me that much. ”
Magu nodded, she agreed, King Qin would not easily trust anyone.
Lu Chengyang continued: "On the one hand, I was sent by the emperor to supervise, and on the other hand, I had to help King Qin cover up some things. I reported all the things of King Qin to the emperor one by one, and many of them were wrong messages that King Qin deliberately put to me. ”
"What do these emperors know?" Magu asked anxiously.
"Of course I know, the emperor knows everything."
Lu Chengyang said so much, as if he didn't get to the point, he hurriedly changed the topic: "There are a total of thirty-one Baoren Hall, and each one has its own shopkeeper. I haven't seen all of them, though, but I have a roster here. I have the details of each of them. Lu Chengyang said, got up and went to the cabinet, took out the roster, and handed it to Magu.
Magu opened it and looked at them one by one.
"I heard that these thirty-one people are all masters of Xinglin, and none of them are convinced."
"King Qin doesn't have a way to get along to control them?" Magu flipped through the roster. He asked.
"King Qin only needs them to manage their respective Bao Ren Tang well, and there is no need for the thirty-one of them to trust each other. In King Qin's eyes, as long as the three of them were convinced of him. The corners of Lu Chengyang's mouth hooked up a sneer.
"What about the operation of Po Ren Tang?" Magu raised her eyes. Asked in confusion.
"In fact, I can't get access to these things, but in order to make me good enough to be in front of the emperor, King Qin made a fake news for me and asked me to pass it on to the emperor. Actually, however, it is true that Baorentang is not profitable as it appears on the surface, but these are paid by the imperial court. King Qin didn't suffer at all. It's just that the deficit here is not as much as reported by King Qin. The Basil people in Bao Ren Tang are actually very profitable. King Qin is the emperor, those rich and noble families who seek medical treatment from the doctors in Baoren Hall. The silver was given annually. In my opinion, the silver earned by the people of Penghao is enough to feed the entire Bao Yan Tang. But King Qin shouted that there was a deficit every year, and all the deficit was taken from the treasury, where did the silver go? It's not in his own pocket. ”
Originally, King Qin set up a "Penghao people" and a "noble" place for Baorentang. The real intention was not to help the poor. It's about profiting from it.
King Qin cries poverty to the court every year, and the court can't help but agree, because King Qin says that Baorentang treats those who can't afford to see a doctor, so there is no silver.
With such a powerful reason, how could the imperial court stand idly by. The end result can only be that he has to give as much as he wants.
Magu began to despise King Qin in her heart, and actually used this way to loot his Laozi's money.
These poor people did not receive the favor of King Qin at all, but the favor of the imperial court. At the beginning, those patients who could not afford to see a doctor were treated for free and prescribed free medicine in Bao Yan Tang. All of them are grateful for the goodness of King Qin, and they all don't know that King Qin is using them.
"Do these emperors know?" Magu frowned. There was a hint of disdain in his tone.
"I know, if you don't understand any of these, the emperor will naturally understand it better." Lu Chengyang sighed, "Now that King Qin is gone, how does Madam plan to take over this mess?" ”
It's a mess, a lot of hard people, a lot of hard things.
But after thinking about it, she still wanted to keep the original surface of Bao Ren Tang.
It's just that how do you clean up those who are hard to handle?
"Lord Lu, can you help me contact the treasurers from all over the world, so that they can come to the city to see me."
Lu Chengyang shook his head, "I'm afraid this idea is inappropriate." Some of these thirty-one places are close to the capital, and some are far from the capital, and if they are all allowed to come, I am afraid that they will have to wait for many months. And what about those who came first? It's really hard to grasp the different speeds of everyone. ”
Lu Chengyang was very embarrassed, "But the emperor has already told me that he intends to reopen all Baoren Halls within five days." ”
"Open in five days?" Magu's eyes dimmed, "But I haven't figured out how to manage these people, these things, and so many shops." ”
"Madame, if you don't want to go back and think about it, if you have any orders, just ask." Lu Chengyang had a smile on his face, "The emperor said that Madame will definitely have a way." ”
"Your Majesty ......" Magu was speechless, not knowing whether to cry or laugh, and was a little flattered.
The emperor really thinks too highly of her.
Leaving the Tai Hospital, Magu left the palace with the roster.
Matthew parted ways with Magu in front of the palace gate.
Magu returned to Hu's house and went into the room with the roster.
Hu Caiyu wanted to follow up and take a look, but was stopped by Geler, "You let her be alone and quiet, she will talk to us if necessary, since she didn't speak, let her think about it herself." ”
Hu Caiyu nodded, and Hu Acai, who originally wanted to go in, also retracted his outstretched feet.
"I said you, it's better to take a concubine, this woman is doing big things, where can she take good care of you." Ah Cai Niang didn't know when she came out and stood behind them, and began to mutter her words again.
"Mother, why are you here again?" This is the door of their room, Magu is still inside, his mother is so loud, Hu Acai is worried that Magu will hear, so he hurriedly whispers to stop his mother.
Who knew that Ah Cai Niang was energetic, and her voice was even louder, "Since I can't take care of you, I should be generous and find a few women to come back to take care of you and take care of the children." She worries about this and that all day long, and someone has to worry about the affairs of the family. Later, we moved to a new house, and we separated. Settle the affairs of your yard yourself, and don't come to trouble us. If you can't do it yourself, find someone to do it. Hmph, I don't do it myself, and I don't let others come, which is the truth. ”
Hu Acai's entire face changed, so he knelt down for his mother, "Mother, I beg you, go back to the house quickly." ”
Seeing that her son was afraid of becoming like this, Ah Cai Niang was even more angry, "No matter how great a woman is outside, she has to listen to the man's ...... when she comes back."
There was really no way, Hu Caiyu had no choice but to step forward and pull her mother elsewhere, and Hu Acai also stepped forward to help and sent her mother back to the room. (To be continued......)
