Zhenguan Xiaoxian Wang Li Shen Li Shimin

Li Shen's words left both the master and the disciple speechless. Even a Taoist like Sun Simiao, who had been practicing Taoism and cultivating Qi for decades, almost died of anger on the spot.

Li Xiuwei even had the idea of ​​quitting the medical field and was preparing to go home and farm.

The main reason is that Li Shen's face is extremely solemn. It seems that he is speaking from the heart and does not look like he is joking at all.

Seeing the way the master and disciple rolled their eyes, Li Shen cursed in his heart: 'This master and disciple are too greedy, aren't they satisfied? He also says that he is a Taoist all day long. snort! ~’

Sun Simiao couldn't stand listening anymore, so he interrupted and said:

"Your Highness Prince Ji, I don't think the price is low. On the contrary, I think Prince Ji's price is too high.

Didn’t His Highness just say that? How can a doctor be kind enough to charge such a high fee?

This makes no matter how outsiders view the old Taoist, they will say that the old Taoist is greedy and too utilitarian. "

Ah~~~~It turns out I thought it was expensive. After hearing this, Li Shen said with a smile:

"Divine Doctor Sun, this is not expensive at all. For them, it is a symbol of status. How can a noble spend the same money as ordinary people to treat the same disease.

Nobles must be noble in everything. Even if they are sick, they are nobler than ordinary people's illnesses and cost more.

And we don’t charge for free. The environment for medical treatment, the conditions for treatment, and the doctors who treat us are all top-notch.

Do you think it would cost [-] yuan to provide such ancillary services? No, it's not expensive at all. What they come here to see is not their disease, but their identity and status.

I'm embarrassed to tell others that it costs [-] yuan to take a pulse here. At worst, it costs a lot of money.

There are also charges based on the disease. For ordinary wind and cold, headache, brain fever, etc., a medicine will cost at least three guan.

Well... I need three doses, three doses will cure the disease.

For those with moderate symptoms, let him be hospitalized if he can be hospitalized. The daily room fee is one yuan. We cover food and accommodation. The stay is at least three days. The cost of medicine is additional. One dose of medicine costs five yuan, and three doses are given in three days. If it doesn't get better, continue living.

If it is a difficult or complicated disease, you will need to be hospitalized for observation. The first seven days will cost at least [-] yuan for a pair of medicines. I need at least ten doses of medicine. If that doesn't work, just stay there for ten days and a half. "

After listening to what Li Shen said, the master and the apprentice felt that they were no longer in the world, and all they heard was talk in their sleep.

"Your Majesty, some medicines last for three days, and some last for seven days. If you prescribe so many medicines, I'm afraid something will happen to you." Li Xiuwei finally couldn't help but remind him,

Li Shen didn't know much about medicine, so he thought a dose of medicine was enough for a day. But Li Shen would not admit it.

"Of course I know that you won't prescribe anything else, like wind-cold, for minor illnesses that don't need to be urgently treated. The efficacy of the medicine will be reduced by half, so add some useless medicine that won't kill you.

If the condition is serious, stabilize the condition first, and when it is about to recover, delay the treatment for a few more days and give some tonics. If it is not possible, give some sugar water.

The point is to get their approval. "

Sun Simiao couldn't stand listening anymore and said:

"Your Majesty, isn't this a way of harming the people? This kind of thing is detrimental to one's morality, and an experienced person would not do it."

Although he knew that Li Shen liked to deceive people and was full of tricks, he did not expect that Li Shen would cheat in treating diseases and saving lives.

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

Sun Simiao was stunned for a moment and said nothing.

"No less than 200 million yuan. The research you did was collected by me from the Ministry of Punishment. It is not given for free. I will also pay for the funeral and burial afterwards.

Your medicinal materials are transported in several trucks every year. Many of them are rare. The manpower and material resources required are so huge.

And now, with the expansion of this medical school, we have to support so many doctor apprentices. The money you make from treating diseases is not enough for you to eat.

You said, wouldn’t it be right for me to recover some of my costs? "

Sun Simiao was unable to refute Li Shen's words. He also knew that he spent a lot of money a year, mainly because there were more and more people in the medical school, and it cost money to eat, drink and have sex.

But Sun Simiao still felt in his heart that Li Shen's approach was wrong. You can make money by treating diseases and saving people, but you can't make money by dying.

Li Xiuwei saw that Sun Simiao was a little lonely. He understood the world and quickly smoothed things over:

"What the prince said is that I have written it all down. My mentor has not changed for a while. We have indeed spent a lot of money on the prince's house during our years here. It is also appropriate to recover some of it."

Li Shen nodded and did not continue to say anything else. Instead, he continued to say to Li Xiuwei:

"Well, please write down everything I just said. Next, I will talk about our Second Affiliated Hospital of the Royal Tang Dynasty.

I plan to continue to expand this place to include a place for hospitalization, as well as some basic things, including a canteen for meals.

This place is dedicated to receiving ordinary people. All doctors, no matter what level they are, must stay here for at least one month every year.

If the salary is less than one month, the salary for the whole year will be halved and all rewards will be cancelled.

Doctor and apprentices are all here.

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

Li Shen paused and thought, and Sun Simiao and Li Xiuwei also looked over.

"The cost of medical treatment will be reduced by [-]% from the current basis to only [-]%. The missing part will be made up by the palace. I will send someone to check every six months.

Over at the First Hospital, Dr. Sun, you will serve as the dean, and I will find a shopkeeper to assist you. Dr. Sun only needs to do medicine. "

"Reduced by [-]%?"

"Only [-]%?"

The master and apprentice were once again confused. Now it was basically the cost price of the medicine. If labor and other factors were included, they would lose money.

King Ji actually reduced the cost by [-]%.

In an instant, Sun Simiao suddenly understood something, stood up and bowed deeply to Li Shen.

"Your Majesty is very righteous, but the old Taoist actually judged the gentleman with a villain's heart. The old Taoist really shouldn't have done it. The old Taoist apologized to Prince Ji."

"Haha, Doctor Sun doesn't have to be like this. What's the crime? What I just said is the truth. The palace also wants to make money."

Li Shen laughed.

Li Xiuwei also realized that Li Shen was robbing the rich and giving to the poor. This prince really lived up to his reputation.

It was rumored that King Ji never made money from the people because he disliked the people's money being too little. When he saw Li Xiuwei today, he felt that it was because King Ji was kind-hearted and did not want to make money from the people's hard-earned money.

Princes, nobles, nobles, nobles, and aristocratic families have more than ten thousand yuan in wealth. They don't care if they spend dozens of yuan on medical treatment.

But ten thousand yuan is ten thousand yuan, which is enough to treat minor illnesses for one hundred people. A prescription for wind-cold decoctions costs only a dozen or more liters.

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

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