Take the hospital back to ancient times

Chapter 72

When Chen Jinbai saw his youngest son rushing back, he also sighed lightly and didn't blame anything.

Instead, Chen Buer took care of the family business once in a while:

"Father, how much money did we lose this time? How much money is left in the family?"

Chen Jinbai didn't want to say it at first, but thought it was time to put some pressure on this prodigal son, but he said truthfully:

"The money that was robbed this time was 4000 taels in total. My father took out 4000 taels from home and borrowed 1 taels from the bank to make up enough, because these medicinal materials are necessary in summer. Heat syndrome medicine, we have to buy it.

In addition, there is still 3000 taels of silver in Jingshitang's public account, which is for emergency use and cannot be easily moved.This is our current situation, I know you don't like it when my father gives you two or two cases of money every month, but my father has nothing to do, oh..."

Chen Buer couldn't help being a little dumbfounded: "Father, we are such a big Jingshitang, we can't even get 1 taels of silver?"

Lu Binglun hastily added:

"It's not a problem for each house to collect tens of thousands of taels, but this is the personal money of each family. Who is willing to take it out? Your third uncle's family is the first one who is not willing. If only our second house and the eldest house will pay, It doesn't make sense either."

Chen Jinbai was a little dissatisfied: "At this time, why do you still care about these things!"

Lu Binglun was not happy when he heard that:

"Master, our second bedroom has paid a lot of money for the medical clinic these years. If it weren't for the large dowry money from my natal family, at least it can subsidize the family. Otherwise, how can our family survive?
Anyway, the third family will be separated sooner or later, so I followed their wish and let them go. We fought with the eldest family in this ups and downs, and we can only work together if we are united. "

"Nonsense, if Jing Shitang doesn't fall, the family will be separated first. If it gets out, people won't laugh at you? It's okay for women to be short-sighted. Do you want our Chen family to be a joke?"

After finishing speaking, Chen Jinbai coughed violently again, so scared that Lu Binglun and He Xiang patted him on the back repeatedly.

"Okay, okay, don't say anything, don't be angry, Rou Ye, give father some medicine."

Chen Buer looked at the relatives in this room, and then at the family in the yard. It was really unimaginable that the Chen family was in such a difficult situation.

In his impression, this is one of the largest "hospitals" in Bianliang City. A skinny camel must be bigger than a horse, right?

Not to mention that you can come up with tens of millions of taels, several million taels, at least 10 taels of silver in your family is always trivial, right?

Otherwise, what is a wealthy family?Rich and powerful, shouldn't a table of banquets cost thousands of taels of silver?
This is also why Chen Buer usually doesn't care about his family's finances, nor does he pay attention to state affairs.

Taking Dazhou's annual financial income, it seems to have reached 2000 million yuan, but if you study it carefully, you will find that this [-] million yuan is not cash.

This includes all kinds of silk, silk, bamboo, cloth, silk thread, cotton, tea, wormwood, firewood, charcoal, yellow iron, salt, etc. These can also be counted as government revenue, but they are not cash.

Therefore, the annual fiscal revenue of the Great Zhou Dynasty was only about 8000 million yuan in cash. (For the convenience of calculation, it is always equal to one or two).

Such a big country is still at the peak of the development of feudal society, and the income is only 8000 million taels a year. When it comes to a merchant like Jingshitang, how can it be possible to spend tens of millions of taels, and millions of taels of silver?
The "Jingshitang" Chen family has a lot of assets, such as the old house of the Chen family, and the medical clinics and shops along the street. It is not a big problem to sell him for a few 10 taels.

The question is, can it be sold?
Also, the Chen family has a special feature. Every year, they will spend a considerable amount of money to buy the land and mountains of Jingshi Mountain.

Although the value of the mountain is not high, the 30-mile Jingshi Mountain covers an area of ​​more than [-] square kilometers. If you want to buy all of them, the price you need to spend is not ordinary.

Every year, tens of thousands of taels of silver are used to purchase these mountains.

This is the ancestral precept of the ancestors of the Chen family, and no one dares to disobey it, otherwise they will lose their qualifications to inherit the head of the family from the legal point of view.

In addition, the Chen family still has many medicine fields and workshops in Jingshi Mountain, but to put it bluntly, they cannot be sold for cash.

So it seems that "Jingshitang" has a big business, but the real cash is not much.

This is the same as those rich people in later generations. Speaking of tens of billions of assets, it may be difficult for him to get a billion in cash, because his assets are all shares and real estate, and he owes a lot of debt to the bank. The tens of billions of assets do not belong to him completely.

Just like "Jingshitang", now I can't even get 1 taels of cash, and the rest is really an empty shell.

If the capital chain is broken, the medicinal materials will be out of stock.

Especially for the few secret medicines of the Chen family, the medicinal materials needed are very expensive, and the money for purchasing the raw materials is tens of thousands of taels of silver.

Key medicinal materials are out of stock, and there is no way to prescribe prescriptions, and the sitting doctors who rely on medical clinics to earn wages will leave.

The so-called century-old medical center, the sign is difficult to erect, you have to pour it down, it is really a very simple matter.

Until the evening, Chen Buer was sitting in his "heaven and earth" courtyard worrying.

Wang Liang'er had already brought dinner from the kitchen, but Chen Buer didn't move his chopsticks, and the skinny and fat people also looked worried.

Suddenly, as if Chen Buer had made up his mind, his eyes lit up for a moment, then dimmed again. He sighed and said:
"Fatty, thin, we are really out of luck. The money we just got last night seems to be impossible to keep. Now the family is in such a difficult situation. My father is suddenly ill. If I, a son, don't help me, I will not be rich if I have money." Take it out, it’s really unreasonable.”

The thin man didn't take it seriously: "Master, anyway, this money is for nothing. Giving it to the master can solve our family's urgent needs. If you give it, just give it. At worst, let's find a corrupt official's house tonight."

Chen Buer despised it:
"It's okay once, but there are too many times. Are you really thinking that the six doors, the Imperial City Secretary, and the masters of the big inner circle are fools? When we are caught out, not only will our family members be hurt, but we will really die."

"Master, what should we do then? If you buy a big house and a shop according to your plan, it will cost tens of thousands of taels of silver."

Chen Buer also scratched his hair anxiously: "It doesn't matter, let's find another way to get over the current difficulties at home."

The next morning, while Chen Jinbai was still lying on the bed humming, Chen Li hurried over and was kicked when he passed the threshold.

Chen Li has always been a refined and calm person, if something can make him flustered like this, it must be a big deal.

The soup bowl in Chen Jinbai's hands fell off, and he asked nervously, "Fa, what happened?"

"Second Lord, hurry up and have a look, our ancestors have manifested~~~~"
