Renjitang cured Liu Xi's injury today, and Mr. Li also knew about it. Ever since Renjitang opened, Mr. Li has been arranging for people to keep an eye on them.
He naturally wanted to intervene in such a big matter, so he called Li Sheng and Li Wei for questioning.
Before Li Wei arrived, Li Sheng said a lot of words to defend himself, "Uncle, I wholeheartedly serve Ren Medical Hall, but Dr. Li's medical skills are really inferior to others, and now the patients are gradually stopping coming."
"I'm so anxious now that I can't eat or sleep. I even want to learn medical skills and treat diseases by myself. As long as I can dedicate myself to Ren Yi Tang, it will be worth it."
Mr. Li raised his eyes and looked at him, "When I asked you to be the shopkeeper, you promised me that you would make Renyi Tang make more money. So what happens now?"
Li Sheng said hurriedly, "You really can't blame me. Before Renjitang opened, it did make a lot more money than before. Now Renjitang is a strong rival. Their medicinal materials are cheaper and their medical skills are better.
Broken bones can be repaired."
"On the other hand, Doctor Li, my injury was treated like that by him, and I don't know if the third young master's injury has healed completely."
Speaking of this, Mr. Li became even more irritable. Li Yunzhou's injuries did not worsen as much as Li Sheng's, but there was still a small wound that could not heal and he never went to school.
He was still counting on Li Yunzhou to take the merit examination, but now it was better, because with such a small wound, he couldn't even go to school.
Seeing that he was angry, Li Sheng continued, "It used to be that Renyitang could make a lot of money from the Zhao family. Mrs. Zhao was willing to give anything for her sick son and grandson. Now that piece of fat has become someone else's."
Yes, after all, Dr. Li's medical skills are not as good as others."
Li Wei happened to be here and heard this outside. He didn't even have time to let anyone know, so he went directly into the study room and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? Sooner or later, the young master of the Zhao family will have to seek treatment from me."
Li Sheng looked back at him, "Then why haven't you found it yet? I've heard people say that people are getting better and better, and now they can go out and wander around in the streets."
Li Wei said, "Sir, there are more and more patients in Renji Tang now. In fact, the main reason is because their medicines are cheap. I think if Renyi Tang can lower the price of medicines, those patients will still be willing to come for treatment.
"
"No." Li Sheng refused immediately, "The medicines in Renyitang have never been cheap. If you let those people get used to it, how can you raise the price in the future? I think you are inferior to others, so I looked for reasons from the price of the medicine.
.”
Li Wei ignored him and said directly to Mr. Li, "Sir, there will be no problem with the supply of medicinal materials to Renjitang, but it is a big deal for Renjitang. If our medicinal materials are as cheap and patients are willing to come here to get medicine, we won't
It’s a loss.”
Mr. Li said, "There is no need to lower drug prices."
Li Yunhao has already made an agreement with various drug dealers not to provide any medicinal materials to Renjitang. They only have a small amount of inventory, so what if they have people digging in the mountains? Can they dig out all the medicinal materials they need?
When they have no more medicine to use, even if the price of medicine from Renyitang is higher, those who want to be cured will not say anything because they have no other way.
Li Sheng smiled proudly, "My cousin is wise, the price of medicine in Renyitang really cannot be lowered."
Mr. Li glared at the two of them, "The price of the medicine cannot be lowered, but you two must come up with a solution for me. Now Renjitang has been riding on Renyitang's head, so I trust you two."
Ren Medical Hall is left to you to take care of. If it is to be managed like this, I will choose someone else."
Both of them were a little panicked, and Li Wei hurriedly said, "Don't worry, sir, I will come up with a way to deal with Renjitang."
He already had an idea, and now he had to think carefully about how to implement it.
Since Mr. Li does not agree to lower the price of medicines, in order for patients to choose Renjitang, they have to ruin the reputation of Renjitang, or make them unable to resist and voluntarily surrender.
Mr. Li nodded, "I will trust you one more time. Don't let me down. Also, please treat Zhou'er's injury well. How long has it been and you still can't get out of bed?"
Li Wei felt miserable. In fact, Li Yunzhou just didn't want to go to school, so he pretended to be seriously ill. In fact, the wound was only a little bit unhealed. He insisted on saying that he couldn't get out of bed, ugh.
"I will be careful, sir, don't worry, the third young master's injury will heal soon."
After the two went out, Li Sheng asked, "What exactly did you think of?"
Li Wei glanced at him and said, "Do you think I will tell you? You want to get the secret recipe from the county magistrate's wife, but you didn't tell me about it either?"
Li Wei turned around and left, and Li Sheng said behind him, "If you have the ability, you can get it done, but don't involve Renyitang. I won't help you with it."
…
The weather this winter has been extremely cold, with frost every day and the roads slippery.
In the past few days, some people had fallen while taking people into the mountains, but none of them had serious injuries. Zhu Wang was worried that someone else would be injured as seriously as Liu Xi, so he went to the Yamen to report to Chen Zhongqian.
"Sir, it's not suitable to go into the mountains these days. You have to stop."
Chen Zhongqian nodded, "I originally wanted to tell you this, but I have too many things to take care of. I'll stop now and wait until spring next year before heading into the mountains."
Zhu Wang was relieved. He was afraid that the county magistrate wanted everyone to dig more medicinal materials and would not agree to this.
"On the day Liu Xi was injured, two people were unconvinced and proposed to terminate the contract in public. After that, the two of them recruited several other people. They have not followed them into the mountains in the past few days. I have already taken back the contract in their hands.
.”
The matter of going into the mountains to collect herbs was entrusted to Zhu Wang. He had to count the number of people every day and actively handle any problems. He did a good job and Chen Zhongqian didn't need to worry at all.
Uncle Wen accepted the contract, and Chen Zhongqian said, "Everyone has just tasted the benefits, and now that we can't go into the mountains, we must feel a little disappointed. You can come over with the village chief tomorrow. I have something to explain."
Zhu Wang was overjoyed again. The county magistrate wanted to find new jobs for everyone.
He nodded hurriedly, "Yes, I will come with the village chief tomorrow."
Chen Zhongqian asked Wenbo to check the authenticity of those contracts. After there were no problems, they were put into the warehouse.
Wenbo said, "Since the beginning of winter, more and more people have been injured by falls. Now some people are dissatisfied with Zhu Wang's control. I'm afraid someone will go to Renji Hall to cause trouble in the future."
The man who followed Zhu Wang into the mountains fell and was treated at Renji Hall.
We don’t go into the mountains now, but there will definitely be people who sneak into the mountains. If they are not injured, it’s fine. If they are injured, they might have to go to Lai Renji Tang to treat them.
Chen Zhongqian said, "Don't worry, just deal with it how you want. The contract is very clear."
Wen Bo thought to himself, what if someone forged the contract?
