The days when I was an obstetrician and gynecologist in Chang'an

Chapter 895: Zhongli Wenlian, who has become very popular, is enviable. (Thanks to SZ7074 for the monthly ticket~)

Yuan Datou was humiliated and he knew what to do. He drank up the soup in the bowl, put down his chopsticks and left the restaurant.

Madam Gan went to collect the soup bowls, looked at the copper coins on the table, counted them carefully, and found that two were still missing.

She sighed in her heart and didn't even think about running to the door to catch up with Yuan Datou to ask for the two missing copper coins.

The diner next to him noticed that Yuan Datou didn't have enough copper coins left, so he asked directly, "Madam Gan, did Datou give you less copper coins?"

Madam Gan smiled bitterly and nodded, "Alas, he is just a neighbor after all. He is now working alone outside to earn a living. Forget it, forget it."

Seeing that Lady Gan did not pursue the matter of the missing copper coin, the man said bluntly: "Lady, you have a kind heart, and you will be blessed with great fortune."

Madam Gan nodded to the man, collected the bowls and went back to the kitchen. Zhou Aong watched the excitement from the side. He was of course not interested in a man like Yuan Datou, but he was interested in the medical tent built by the craftsman on the street.

After dinner, Zhou Aong paid the bill and strolled to the place where the tent was set up. He could hear the constant sound of "ding ding dong dong". Although the sound was not loud, it had been there for a while.

Zhou Aong was a lively man. In his early years, he went to the Western Regions to do business. He could speak differently to different people.

He stood there for a while, and when he saw that the steward was free, he bought a pot of loose tea. He walked over, bowed first, and then spoke to him in a friendly voice. The steward saw that he was an old man and judging by his clothes, he did not look poor, so he returned the bow.

At the invitation of Zhou Aong, the steward went to a tea stall nearby and sat down with Zhou Aong to chat.

What Zhou Aong asked was not anything confidential, so the steward told him directly.

"Yes, I took the job from the maternity clinic. I need to set up a tent before the free clinic."

The manager shook his head and said, "I don't know if there are any other places. I just followed the orders from my superiors and came here to keep an eye on this place.

I guess there should be some.”

"Of course, this is the work of the maternity hall. It is a tent specially built for women to see doctors.

Can men get a tent for medical treatment?

I don't know about this, I haven't heard about it, it should be the same as in previous years, there should be a shed, but it's not like this one, with thick cloth on three sides to block the wind, and there's an extra space inside for the wooden bed."

After drinking a pot of loose tea with two plates of snacks, the manager bowed and urged the resting craftsmen to start working.

There were many people in every district who were as curious about the medical tent set up in the obstetrics and gynecology hall as Zhou Aong. However, they were not like Zhou Aong who would use his spare money to treat people to tea and snacks just to start a conversation and ask why the tent was set up.

However, this tent still caused quite a bit of discussion among the crowd.

The next day was sunny and a good day to present medals.

Chen Yanfu specially invited musicians to play drums and gongs and accompanied the officials from Jingzhao Prefecture, and together with a dozen yamen runners, they went to the largest pharmacy of Zhongli family in Chang'an.

Li Sanniang received a large donation of silver from Zhongli Wenlian to the obstetrics and gynecology hall. Chen Yanfu counted it on the spot and put it into the account. The next day, Li Sanniang wrote a document to report to Wang Shuzheng, and asked Wang Shuzheng to record it in the name of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Hall of the Imperial Medical Department in the Jingzhao Prefecture. She also paid silver from the public account of the obstetrics and gynecology hall and asked the officials of Jingzhao Prefecture to give the silver to the craftsmen who made the medals, and asked the craftsmen to make the medals sparkling and shining.

And today is a good day to present a medal to the pharmacy managed by Zhongli Wenlian.

The yamen runners led the way, beating gongs and drums, and officials wearing round-collared official robes and official hats followed behind. In the middle, there were dozens of yamen runners holding objects covered with red silk and walking together.

With such a lively event like this, how could the ordinary people not want to go and watch?
Before the group arrived at Zhongli's pharmacy, a quick-footed servant came running back to inform Uncle Zhong, the owner of Zhongli's pharmacy.

When Uncle Zhong got the news, he immediately went upstairs and reported the news to Zhongli Wenlian who was sitting inside. "Haha," Zhongli Wenlian laughed, and she said to Mrs. Cui who was standing beside her, "Medical Supervisor Li is really a wonderful person.

Look, it's like something big has happened. Those medal winners usually don't get this kind of treatment."

Mrs. Cui looked at Zhongli Wenlian's expression and knew that she was happy. After all, merchants are not short of money, and a woman is in charge. What does she want most?
It's fame!

This reputation is sometimes better than money, and can even determine life and death!

Li Sanniang had such a big fuss made, firstly because Zhongli Wenlian had paid a large sum of money. After all, that really solved Li Sanniang's urgent problem.

Secondly, Li Sanniang was somewhat shrewd. She wanted Zhongli Wenlian to serve as a role model so that she could get donations from other wealthy merchants in the future!
After all, if this obstetrics and gynecology clinic really wants to continue to operate in the future and open branches in places other than Chang'an and Luojing to provide medical care for more women, it will really require a large amount of money to support it.

Although some of the money came from the Emperor Wu's gift to the Imperial Medical Bureau's Obstetrics and Gynecology Department, the Imperial Medical Bureau also received money from the "Rich Man's Tonic"

However, this is still far from enough.

Moreover, the benefits of the obstetrics and gynecology department are not immediate, unlike the ulcer department, which can see immediate benefits due to the war.

In this case, it is inevitable to need support from the outside world, and wealthy merchants are the best targets for fleecing.

But this kind of wool-pulling, also known as "robbing the rich to help the poor," requires you to give something to others before they will donate money to you, right?
If you want to "force buying or selling", you must have power.

But the obstetrics and gynecology clinic does not have this power nowadays.

Therefore, Li Sanniang came up with an idea to give the businessman a reputation.

In addition to the fact that it is "tonic medicine for the rich and medicine for the common people", what Li Sanniang can also give to Zhongli Wenlian is a good reputation.

Isn't a good reputation for generosity important to businessmen at this time?

No, not only is it important, it’s also very useful!

It is true that business taxes can be reduced!
Moreover, in the future, the Imperial Medical Bureau will inevitably come up with more things that require the participation of drug dealers, so the drug dealers who contribute money and effort first will definitely have the upper hand.

If you pay, you will get a reward, it is fair;

In business, profit is the fundamental thing.

They arrived at the street where Zhongli's pharmacy was located. There was such a loud noise that the surrounding merchants, civilians, and passers-by all raised their heads and wanted to get a closer look at what was written on the medal.

However, before the unveiling, Chen Yanfu clapped her hands and the musicians stopped playing. But after a few breaths, the sound of "crackling" firecrackers rang out on the street.

The people who were startled by the sound of firecrackers at first, after calming down, saw clearly that it was the bamboo joints that were blown apart by the fire.

"I was so scared. Why are people setting off firecrackers during a festival like this?"

After the sound of firecrackers, Chen Yanfu and the official from Jingzhao Prefecture came forward and said a few words. They all thanked Zhongli Wenlian, the great philanthropist, for not only being kind-hearted but also for donating a large sum of money. In short, they kept praising him for a long time.

Then, Zhongli Wenlian was invited to come on stage and personally unveiled the red silk. Under the red silk, four big characters "Benefit the Country and the People" were written on the bronze medal.
