Chapter 344: First Taste of Victory, and Get Protection
"She dares to open a clinic! If she does, what business will my Jishiditang have in the future? She wants to cut off my source of income!"
*** broke another set of valuable tea sets.
She stood in the midst of the mess, her shoulders shaking with anger.
She plotted against Ji Chuhe but failed, and Ji Chuhe counterattacked and tricked her. Now she can't do anything else.
Those people trusted Ji Chuhe blindly!
"Okay, very good! You are definitely going against me! Ji Chuhe, if you go against me, there will be no good ending!"
……
Ji Chuhe still had one third of the medicinal materials that the princess had sent her, enough to open a clinic.
The next batch of medicinal materials will be delivered to the imperial capital in about ten days at most.
The people's illnesses have almost recovered, and the number of people in the Medicine King Hall is decreasing every day.
However, the news that Ji Chuhe was going to open a clinic in the imperial capital spread like wildfire to every corner of the imperial city.
"If the Crown Prince's wife and the Crown Prince can really open a clinic in the imperial capital, it will be a great blessing for the people! We ordinary people will no longer have to worry about the difficulty of finding a doctor!"
"Yes, yes! I support the Crown Prince's wife and the Crown Prince in opening a clinic!"
"Once the Crown Prince's wife and the Crown Prince's clinic open, I will never go to Jishidiang again!"
"I won't go either! Not many people go to Jishiditang right now!"
"I passed by there today. Except for those who wanted to curry favor with the government, none of us ordinary people went there!"
“This result is really gratifying!”
"You tell me, why am I so excited when the Crown Prince's wife and the Crown Prince open a clinic? I feel happier than if I opened a clinic myself. I have never felt so happy in all my years!"
"I also have this feeling!"
"I have it too!"
Everyone agreed.
On the second day, Ji Chuhe's clinic opened at lightning speed.
It was named Yu'antang.
People came spontaneously to congratulate, and the street was packed with people.
Yu'an Hall is very large. The people have never seen such a large clinic. It is several shops combined into one.
"I heard that there are several doctors in Yu'an Hall! With so many doctors on duty, people who come to see a doctor will no longer have to wait in line."
"I don't know yet. I'll know after seeing the situation later."
"Anyway, it's much better than before."
"Have you noticed that Jishidiang has been so humble lately that it has even secretly lowered the price of its medicines. The key is that even if they lowered the price, I still can't afford it!"
"Who can afford it? In the past, there was only that one clinic. In order to survive, there was really no other way. Now that Yu'an Hall is here, anyone who goes there will be a big fool!"
"Yes! Big injustice!"
When Yu'an Hall first opened, Ji Chuhe did not change anything.
It seems like it just changed place.
Moved from the Medicine King Temple to the shop.
It’s still the same free medical consultation, still the same free decoction of medicine, and a dose of medicine still costs half a tael of money.
Moreover, there won’t be much change in the future.
When people heard that medical treatment would probably cost this much in the future, they were furious!
After the joy and excitement, everyone felt a little worried.
"Madam, the cost of opening a clinic is too high. If you continue like this, there will be no profit for you! You can't do business at a loss!"
"Yes, Madam, why don't you raise the price a bit? We are willing to pay for the consultation. After all, there are so many doctors who need to live and eat."
Ji Chuhe couldn't help laughing as he listened to what everyone said.
"We charge a consultation fee of two cents per person. This money goes to the doctor. Don't worry. When you open a clinic, you should have the intention of saving lives, not just making money."
It would be better not to charge the two cents consultation fee!
This thought flashed through everyone's mind.
In fact, Ji Chuhe had calculated it all. The doctor charged two cents per person for consultation. If there were many people coming to see the doctor, it would be a considerable income in a day.
Enough for a doctor to support a family in the imperial capital.
Besides, if there were fewer diseases in the world and no one sought medical treatment, she would take out money to pay these doctors monthly wages and would not treat them unfairly.
Ji Chuhe looked at everyone and explained, "A dose of common medicine costs half a tael. If you have a serious illness and need more expensive medicine, the price will definitely be different. At that time, the price of each medicinal material will be announced and clearly marked. After the doctor prescribes the medicine, everyone can calculate how much their own dose of medicine will cost based on the price of the medicinal material."
"Everyone, don't worry. I know you are afraid that I won't continue to run the clinic because I don't make any money. In fact, even if I sell it at this price, I won't lose money. I have calculated the cost of medicinal materials and transportation. What the prince and I mean is that we don't have to make a profit, as long as we can break even." Ji Chuhe added.
"The Crown Prince and his wife are truly living Bodhisattvas!"
Everyone nodded in emotion.
The news kept spreading in the streets and alleys.
No matter who heard the news, they were full of admiration for Xiao Yanan and Ji Chuhe!
This time, *** lost completely.
There is no one left in her Jishiditang.
Ji Chuhe's place is always crowded with people every day.
She even came up with the idea of providing night consultations to deal with emergencies.
Such operations have won the favor of the people.
Xiao Yan'an finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the situation before him.
He can say with certainty that public opinion is a good thing!
No matter whether it is the emperor or the queen mother, they must think twice before dealing with Ji Chuhe.
The people's support also became Ji Chuhe's umbrella of protection.
In the court, the emperor finally responded to the voices of impeachment against the emperor.
The princess was confined to her home for three months and fined one year's salary.
This punishment is not painful at all.
However, this was also the first time that the emperor punished a traitor, and no one dared to hold on to this matter.
When the emperor's decree was delivered to ***'s residence, *** was immediately furious!
"Rebellion, rebellion! I'm going to find the emperor right now!"
***As soon as I walked to the gate of the mansion, I saw a pair of royal guards guarding the door.
"***, you can't go out now!"
"Everyone, get out of my way! How dare you block my way?"
"***, we are also following the emperor's order, please don't embarrass us."
"Go away!"
***'s voice was hoarse from shouting, but these people still stood there motionless.
……
The matter finally came to an end, and everything went smoothly at the clinic. Ji Chuhe finally had time to have a good rest.
When Liao Yunfei heard that the prince had returned home, she could no longer sit still and took the initiative to go to the prince's yard.
"Prince, you have been busy outside recently and have lost a lot of weight." Liao Yunfei said with a distressed look on her face.
Before Xiao Yan'an could say anything, a pretty woman with eyes and eyebrows that looked somewhat similar to Xu Yan'er walked in.
"Sir, you forgot your purse in the carriage. I have retrieved it for you."
