Chapter 0172 - Selling Medicine and Making a Fortune

When production capacity is insufficient, robbery is the way to riches. Zhou Qingfeng is currently in this state. When the epidemic began to break out in Fushun, the whole city became a gluttonous feast for him.

What did Uncle Zhou rely on to make a fortune? Practicing medicine and selling medicine!

On the second day of the outbreak of the typhoid fever epidemic, more than a dozen streets in the west of Fushun City, which were originally closed, were suddenly opened and unlocked, allowing people to flow. Originally, the people in the west of the city were quite complained about being blocked by Zhou Qingfeng, and the prices of commodities soared several times, and everyone felt that there were not many people dead on their streets, and they all thought that Zhou Qingfeng was lying to any plague.

After Zhou Qingfeng took control of the west of the city, he hired a lot of people to work, and threw out a lot of money, and many people even made some money. Now that the blockade has been several days, many people's rice tanks have bottomed out, and as soon as the blockade was lifted, they hurriedly came out to purchase food.

But in the west of the city, the news does not circulate, and many residents come out to take a look - oops, every family is crying and mourning, every household wears filial piety, the street is full of cloth flags, paper money everywhere, and there is an endless stream of funeral processions on the street.

Just looking at that is frightening. As long as you open your mouth to ask, the current situation will naturally be in front of you. The city has really suffered from the plague, many large families have died, and the weak among the small people are not spared!

Oops, I'm a good girl!

The residents in the west of the city knew that they were in the blessing and did not know the blessing, and at this time, they recited Amitabha Buddha in their mouths, and secretly said in their hearts that those officials who blocked the streets were really for their own good. In this case, who dares to stay outside for a long time, buy rice and go home quickly.

The people on the west side of the city were frightened, and so were the rest of the city. Many people asked: "There are many dilapidated houses living in the west of your city, and I don't know how many people are weak and hungry, how many people have died?" ”

The residents in the west of the city were shocked and could say proudly, "There are not many deaths in the west of our city this year, let alone death from illness, and few people die of hunger and freeze." ”

"And such a good thing, why?"

"A good family came to the west of our city and opened a medical center, and the doctor who sat in the clinic had superb medical skills."

There is no need to say much, and now the people in the city are panicking, as long as they hear that there is a place for treatment, every family is willing to come to seek medical advice. In the afternoon when the lockdown was lifted in the west of the city, people from other parts of the city flocked to it.

Zhou Qingfeng arranged a 'medical guide' at the intersection of every street in the west of the city. is to stand where the official is, as long as he comes to seek medical treatment, he will explain it to the other party. To put it bluntly, it is to show the knife of slaughtering the fat sheep and hold it high.

"Our clinic provides treatment services to urban residents at various levels. The first gear, one or two silver and a mouthful of medicine, is mainly used to treat diarrhea. It will definitely work on the day of taking the medicine, and it will be refunded if it does not work. However, this is not a cure for the symptoms, if you get diarrhea again, please pay more. ”

"In the second tranche, 50 taels of silver were hospitalized for seven days, treating various typhoid fever symptoms, and providing a professionally trained nurse to take care of the patients. Typhoid fever is cured. If you relapse within one month, you can be retreated for free, but if you want to be retreated after one month, you still have to pay for it. ”

"In the third tranche, five hundred taels of silver will be hospitalized for one month, and the attending doctor will personally diagnose and provide the best medical services to ensure that the patient is discharged from the hospital in good health."

"In addition, we also provide exclusive VIP services, 5,000 taels of silver to receive treatment from our owner's light system, and we are still ten years younger than we can cure all diseases. Finally, there is a considerate service to take care of the common people, as long as they are willing to sell themselves into slavery to our hosts, we will give corresponding medical services according to the value of the sellers. ”

As soon as these rules and regulations came out, the whole city was in an uproar. The streets and alleys are talking, although there are a lot of new words said by 'guide doctors' that are not easy to understand, but the people still understand it - this is to spend money and sell their lives!

Everyone thinks it's too expensive.

Even the cheapest one costs a tael of silver, and many poor people may not be able to earn that much money in a month. And usually it only costs a few dollars of silver, or even a few cents of silver. It is by no means ordinary people who can come up with a silver tael to see a doctor. As for the five hundred and five hundred and fifty thousand, ordinary people have never seen so much silver in their lives.

On the day the news broke, more than 20 patients were carried to the hospital in the west of the city for hospitalization, and most of them chose to stay for 52 taels for seven days. There were also three or five wealthy families who chose five hundred taels to live in for a month.

That's five hundred taels!

Every day, the patient eats some gruel and rice, and two caregivers help take care of it. The patient's family members could not come, saying that they were afraid of repeated infection. The daily medicine is diluted berberine and chloramphenicol mixed with water. The so-called 'attending doctor' is the kind-looking old man Sun who came to take a few looks, which cost five hundred taels of silver.

However, as long as berberine is used, diarrhea can be controlled. With chloramphenicol, typhoid bacilli can be killed. Coupled with a clean diet and enhanced hygiene, the condition can be controlled on the day of admission. Even if it is a patient who is already sick and dying, and is seriously dehydrated and dying, Uncle Zhou can take out a hanging bottle and put some normal saline on it, it must be good, and he will definitely not die.

Fushun City looks like a frontier, but it connects the barbarians outside the border wall, and there are many people who make a fortune doing business. There are far more rich people in the city than you think. Those who can take five hundred taels are either rich or expensive, and they regard their lives as extremely important. When I saw that the patients who were admitted to the hospital immediately improved, all the people who spent the money felt that it was worth it.

The power of example is infinite!

When he saw that the treatment effect of 500 taels was so good, the patients who only spent 50 taels suddenly felt that they were too picky? The patients who spent 500 taels were excited and began to imagine what it would be like to spend 5,000 taels, after all, the 'guide doctors' all said that 'curing all diseases, ten years younger'.

However, no one really spends 5,000 taels extravagantly, after all, many people have 'a lot of money', but they may not be able to come up with much cash. Taking five hundred taels of silver is already the limit of many people's homes. And when the curative effect became widely known, many ordinary people began to buy potions for one or two silver.

One or two pieces of silver, grit your teeth, and make up for it, even the poor can afford it. However, when the people who bought the medicine lined up outside the medical hall in the west of the city, they got a mouthful of strange-tasting potion after a tael of silverβ€”only one mouthful, and the official in charge of selling the medicine only gave the bottom of the spoon. This little liquid can't moisten the throat, and many people feel that they have lost a lot.

Although there is little medicine, it can cure the disease!

In the beginning, most of the people who came to buy medicine were patients who were infected with typhoid bacilli at various stages. The germs of this era are simply not able to resist the drugs of 400 years later, and even a small dose of chloramphenicol per unit dose can give patients great improvement in their condition.

Uncle Zhou's hospital earned more than 2,000 taels of silver on the first day of opening, and it rose to more than 3,000 taels in one go the next day. And there are fewer and fewer rich people who come to see a doctor in the future, but there are more and more ordinary people who spend a tael of silver to buy a mouthful of medicine. There are tens of thousands of people in Fushun, even if only one out of ten people comes, Zhou Qingfeng can earn thousands of taels.

"Young master, we have collected more than eight thousand taels of silver in the past three days, and it is estimated that there should be two or three thousand taels in the future, and this time we really made a lot of money." At night, Old Man Sun reported the good news to Zhou Qingfeng. With such a sum of money, Zhou Qingfeng's dilemma of lack of money in hand was greatly alleviated. Everyone on the team had a smile on their faces.

Eight thousand taels of silver were divided into pieces, fifty taels of snowflake silver, and scattered pieces of silver cut with scissors. Zhou Qingfeng pushed four of the boxes of silver and said to the flat hair present: "This is half of yours." ”

Zhou Qingfeng originally promised to share half of all the proceeds in order to flatten Mao's employment. At that time, no one could have imagined that Zhou Qingfeng would be able to make money like this, and he only got more than 3,000 taels from the previous raid. That was bought by raiding more than a dozen households and killing more than 20 lives.

And now it's four thousand taels, which is a huge amount of money. Seeing Zhou Qingfeng so bold, even Old Man Sun was very shocked, not to mention Wang Kunpeng and Cai Zhiwei, two newcomers - now Zhou Qingfeng pays a monthly salary to all team members, even if Old Man Sun is only fifteen taels a month at most, and Wang Cai and the two have a monthly salary of eight taels. Four thousand taels is enough for them to earn for a lifetime.

Flat hair has been very active recently, not only pretending to be Han Gui vividly, but also the strongest thug in Zhou Qingfeng's team. Without it, Zhou Qingfeng really couldn't make so much money, and he couldn't keep it if he did. However, when he saw the several large boxes that had been pushed in front of him, Flat Fur rattled a few times and pushed back three-quarters of them.

"Zhou boy, your ability to make money is really good. But this time you made money by selling medicine, I didn't do anything, just take a thousand taels. I know you have a lot of people under your command right now, and it costs a lot of money just to eat and drink. Besides, your kid's future future will definitely surpass the present, and the remaining three thousand taels will be counted as I will buy you a favor for my eldest lady. ”

Seeing that Bian Mao pushed back the money for three thousand taels, Old Man Sun and the others breathed a sigh of relief. Zhou Qingfeng looked at a few heavy boxes and didn't push them around, he said bluntly: "At the moment, I really spread the stall too big, and now I am really short of money." I borrowed the three thousand taels from you, and I also wrote down the favor. ”

Everyone was so reasonable, and the matter was resolved satisfactorily.

After taking a thousand taels, Bian Mao asked Zhou Qingfeng, "What will you do next?" ”

"I didn't have enough money in the past, so I had to stop recruiting. Now, I have money and medicine, and I still want to recruit more people. At least a thousand, or even two thousand. With these people, I want to get the post of Fushun City inspector, and then I can do a big job. ”

Patrol inspection, listen to the name to know that it is the official in charge of road inspection. This position can control a team of people, can set up sentry points at road checkpoints to collect taxes, and can lead people to patrol on a mobile basis, which is really a very good official position - there is a very annoying thing about ancient officials, that is, they can't leave the jurisdiction casually, or even leave the city casually.

Zhou Qingfeng wanted power again, and he wanted to run around, so inspection became the only choice.

Flat Mao nodded and said, "Okay, I'll help you get this official position." ”

Zhou Qingfeng smiled at this, and Jin Ge, who was running errands, suddenly knocked on the door and came in and reported: "Young master, there is a member of Wang Kai who has come from outside and wants to see you." ”

"What......?" Zhou Qingfeng was very strange, and the others were also inexplicable.

Jin Ge continued: "That Wang Yuanwai said that no one spent five thousand taels of silver to buy the young master to show his skills, and he wanted to complain about the young master. Today, I came to open my eyes for the young master, so that everyone can be impressed by the young master. ”

What the hell is this profiteer going to do ......?
