Chapter 468: Li Shen's intentions

Li Shen's words made the master and apprentice speechless, and even a Taoist like Sun Simiao, who had cultivated his qi for decades, was almost angry and died on the spot.

Li Xiuwei even had the idea of quitting the medical profession and was ready to go home to farm.

The main reason is that Li Shen's face is extremely solemn, and at first glance, it comes from the heart, and it doesn't look like a joke at all.

Seeing the way the master and apprentice rolled their eyes, Li Shen slandered in his heart; 'This master and apprentice are too greedy, aren't they?' He also says that he is a cultivator. Hum! ~’

Sun Simiao really couldn't listen to it anymore, and interjected:

"His Royal Highness King Ji, Lao Dao didn't think the price was low, on the contrary, Lao Dao felt that the price of King Ji was too high.

Didn't Your Highness just say that? How can a doctor be so benevolent and charge such a high fee?

This makes outsiders look at the old way, they will say that the old way is greedy for profit, and the utilitarian heart is too heavy. ”

Ah~~~~ It turned out that it was expensive, Li Shen said with a smile after hearing this:

"Doctor Sun, it's not expensive at all, this is a status symbol for them, as a nobleman, how can he spend the same money as ordinary people and see the same disease.

The aristocracy must be noble in everything, even if it is sick, it must be nobler than the illness of the common people, and it will cost more money,

And we are not charging in vain, the environment for seeing a doctor, the conditions for treatment, and the doctors for diagnosis and treatment are all top-level.

Do you say that 500 yuan is expensive for such a supporting service? No, it's not expensive at all, what they see here is not a disease, it's an identity, it's a status.

I'm embarrassed to tell others that I spend 500 wen here, and the worst is consistent money.

There are also charges according to the symptoms, ordinary wind and cold, headache and brain fever or something, a pair of drugs at least three times of money,

Well.... Three pairs of medicines will be cured.

Moderate symptoms, let him be hospitalized, the daily room rate is consistent money, we include food and accommodation, at least three days, the cost of medicine is calculated, a pair of medicine can also be five dollars, three days to drink three pairs, if there is no improvement, continue to live.

If it is an incurable disease, then it will be hospitalized for observation, and the first seven days, the medicine will cost at least ten yuan for a pair of medicines. At least 10 pairs of medicines. If not, you can stay for ten days and a half months. ”

After listening to what Li Shen said, the master and apprentice already felt that they were no longer in the world, and all they listened to were dreams.

"Lord Wang, some of the medicines are three days, and some are seven days, if you prescribe so many medicines, I'm afraid something will happen." Li Xiuwei finally couldn't help but remind,

Li Shen didn't know medical skills, he thought that a pair of medicine was a day's work. But Li Shen won't admit it.

"Of course this king knows, you won't prescribe something else, such as wind and cold, and other minor illnesses that are not in a hurry, the effect of the medicine will be halved, and some useless medicine will be added to it.

If the condition is serious, stabilize the condition first, and when it is almost better, delay it for a few more days, give some tonic medicine or something, and if it is really not good, it is okay to give some sugar water.

The point is to get them to buy. ”

Sun Simiao couldn't listen to it anymore and said:

"Lord, isn't this harming the people? This kind of thing is detrimental to yin morality, and the old way will not do it. ”

Although he knew that Li Shen liked to trick people and knew that he was scheming, he didn't expect Li Shen to cheat on treating diseases and saving people.

"Divine Doctor Sun, do you know how much money you have spent on my palace in the past ten years?" Li Shen asked suddenly.

Sun Simiao was stunned for a moment and did not speak.

"No less than two million guan, the research you did was received by this king from the criminal department, not given for free, and afterwards this king will pay for the burial of the practice,

Your medicinal materials are transported by several truckloads every year, many of which are rare, and the manpower and material resources required are huge.

And now, the expansion of this medical school still has to support so many doctors and apprentices, and the money you earn from treating diseases is not enough for you to eat.

Isn't it true that this king will recover some of the costs? ”

Li Shen's words made Sun Simiao powerless to refute, and he also knew that he spent a lot of money in a year, mainly because there were more and more people in the medical school, and he needed money to eat, drink, and lazar.

It's just that Sun Simiao still feels that Li Shen's approach is wrong, you can make money by treating diseases and saving people, but you can't make money from death.

Li Xiuwei saw that Sun Simiao was a little lonely, he understood the sophistication of people, and hurriedly said:

"What the prince said is that I have written it down, and the teacher has not changed for a while. We've really spent a lot of money on the palace in the past few years. It is also appropriate to take some back. ”

Li Shen nodded, did not continue to say anything else, but continued to Li Xiuwei:

"Well, you write down everything I just said, and now I'm talking about our Second Affiliated Hospital of the Tang Dynasty,

I'm going to expand this place to include hospitalization places, and basic things, including a dining hall.

It is dedicated to the common people, and all doctors, regardless of rank, are required to stay here for at least one month a year.

The wages for the whole year of less than a month shall be halved, and all rewards shall be abolished.

Doctors, apprentices are here.

I estimate that the area here will expand several times, and the cost of medical treatment~~~~"

Li Shen paused and thought about it, and Sun Simiao and Li Xiuwei's eyes also looked over.

"The cost of medical treatment will be reduced by 70% on the current basis, and only 30% will be charged, and the missing part will be made up by the palace. I will send someone to check once every six months.

At the First Hospital, you will be the dean of Dr. Sun, and I will find a shopkeeper to assist you, and Dr. Sun only needs to do medicine. ”

"Seventy percent?"

"Only 30%?"

The master and apprentice were stunned again, now it is basically the cost price of the drug, if you count the labor or something, it will lose money.

King Ji actually reduced the cost by seventy percent.

In an instant, Sun Simiao suddenly understood something, stood up and saluted Li Shenshen.

"The prince is noble, the old way actually spends the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, the old way really shouldn't be, the old way apologizes to King Ji."

"Haha, Doctor Sun doesn't have to be like this, what's the crime? What this king has just said is also true. The palace is also to make money. ”

Li Shen laughed.

Li Xiuwei also understood, Li Shen is robbing the rich and helping the poor, this prince really lives up to his reputation.

It is rumored that King Ji never earns the people's money, because he dislikes the people's money is too little, and when he saw Li Xiuwei today, he felt that it was actually King Ji's kindness and didn't want to earn the people's hard-earned money.

The princes and nobles of the family have more than ten thousand properties, and they don't care if they see a doctor and spend a few or more than a dozen times.

But ten yuan is 10,000 yuan, which is enough for 100 people to see a minor illness. A pair of wind-cold decoctions is only a dozen or so at most.

And even if it is so cheap, many people are reluctant to pay for medical treatment, and some people are gone.

King Ji is using the money of the nobles to feed the poor people.
