The chief clerk stood up and walked out from the table.

"Ms. Jiang, you really helped me out of my urgent need."

Jiang Sheng looked at him in confusion, thinking, how can my opening of a clinic solve your urgent needs?

The chief clerk shouted to the outside

"Come here, serve tea!"

It was the first time that Jiang Sheng saw this cold-faced and serious chief clerk express his emotions so openly.

By the time she reacted, she had already been invited by the chief clerk to sit in the side hall.

"Ms. Jiang, to be honest, I was worried about this before you came."

"Sir, why is this?"

The chief clerk sighed.

"Miss Jiang, you don't know something."

There has never been a decent doctor in the outer city of Bianjiang City. Most of them are military doctors who have learned some basic knowledge. They have no problem treating external injuries, but they are not good at treating some diseases that require observation, smell, questioning and palpation. Even the Wang's Medical Clinic was opened by exiled prisoners.

Because of the special nature of Bianjiang City, no matter who you are, as long as you go to work or do business, you have to pay a portion of money to the city.

After Wang's Clinic opened, it did solve a large part of the problems. As a shop that benefits the people, the clinic collected the least money in the city.

It’s just because doctors themselves have to pay poll taxes, so the clinic’s profit and expenditure can only break even, and the profit cannot be much.

So, it still doesn’t work.

Doctor Wang was a nice person and had kept the clinic open. But he passed away last month and since then, there has been no one in charge of the clinic.

There are some doctors in the inner city, but they are all doctors in various prefectures.

Not to mention whether they would come out or not, the city could not afford the cost of their visits.

Later, they had no choice but to ask a former military doctor to come and take a look.

Later, the Liu family came and solved the urgent problem.

However, the Liu family was in a very poor state when they arrived. Even if they wanted to cure diseases and save lives, they had to feed themselves and clothe themselves first, so they could only see patients for half a month, and spend the remaining half a month working in the mine to earn the monthly head tax.

But this is not a long-term solution. People get sick at any time. Bianjiang City is the largest outer city with the largest population, but there is not even a doctor. That is definitely not going to work. General He gave an order, asking him and the military advisor to think of a solution.

The military advisor has always been smart, but recently he was beaten so badly that he couldn't get out of bed. He didn't want to disturb him anymore, so he could only worry on his own.

Jiang Sheng didn't quite understand

"If that's the case, why do we give some extra policies to those who open clinics to recruit other doctors?"

The chief clerk sighed.

“Military Advisor Chu had also proposed this method before, but Bianjiang City is well-known and outsiders are unwilling to come.

Secondly, the money that can be taken out in the city is limited, and if the money is not in place, naturally no one will want to come."

After that, he looked at Jiang Sheng

"If Miss Jiang really opens a clinic, then you will be a great benefactor to our Bianjiang City."

Jiang Sheng said with a smile

"I don't deserve to be your benefactor. I just have nothing to do and want to find something to do."

The chief clerk was in a very good mood and laughed twice.

"No matter what the reason is, as long as the result is the same, it's fine. If you have any difficulties, please let us know. We will fully support you."

Jiang Sheng thought for a moment and said

"Just now, the master said that the doctor of Wang's Clinic has passed away. I want to take over Wang's Clinic directly. Is that okay?"

"That's no problem. If you're sure, I can send someone to help you clean up."

Jiang Sheng thought for a while and said

"Okay, that's it. I'll go back and see what needs to be changed. I'll trouble you then."

“No trouble…No trouble…”

"Do you need to sign a deed?"

"No, that shop belongs to the general's mansion, so the rent is free. The clinic only needs to pay 20% of its income every month."

The chief clerk was afraid that Jiang Sheng would think it was too much, so he quickly explained.

"The shops in the clinic have to pay 20%, and the other shops have to pay 40%. As for those in the inner city, they have to pay even more, 50%."

Jiang Sheng smiled

"It doesn't matter."

Just like that, the decision to open a clinic was made.

In the days that followed, Jiang Sheng went to the outer city to check on the shop every day, and the chief clerk really sent a lot of people to help.

When many bricklayers in the city heard that Jiang Sheng was going to open a clinic here, they all volunteered to help.

No matter how bad Jiang Sheng was, he was still much better than them, so Jiang Sheng paid everyone who came to help and also provided a meal at noon.

Before packing up, Jiang Sheng went to Liu's house to chat with his grandfather and uncle.

In the past, the Liu family had to work in the mines in order to support themselves and pay the head tax.

Although I earn a lot, it is very hard work.

Now that she has opened a clinic, she naturally cannot let them go there again.

She had planned it out beforehand. Once the clinic opened, she would let them all work there, pay them a monthly salary, and ensure they had enough food and clothing.

Naturally, the grandfather did not agree at first. He felt that he was still capable and active, and there was no need for him to be raised by his granddaughter. Later, Jiang Sheng persuaded his uncle Liu Heng.

Liu Heng made the final decision.

And he only used a few words to make the stubborn old man give up resistance.

"Dad, things are different now. No matter how capable you are, you are no longer young. Don't you want to return to Beijing alive? Don't you want to live a few more years to take care of your granddaughter?

We are a family, and it is common sense to support each other in times of trouble. If you are so distant, won't it hurt Sheng'er's heart?"

Only then did Liu Huaishan agree.

The doctor's problem was solved, and Jiang Sheng also sped up the progress.

Finally, ten days later, in mid-December, Huimin Medical Clinic finally opened.

Although it was a little cold that day, the weather was very good.

In order to suit the occasion, Liu Sanqi specially bought a string of firecrackers.

Pick an auspicious time to set it off, and it's considered opening.

A clinic is not like other shops that can organize activities when it opens. Although they are doctors, they can't expect others to get sick, right?

So the opening ceremony only had this string of firecrackers.

To Jiang Sheng's surprise, Nie Wushuang, Chu Xiangming, He Ruolan and the chief clerk all sent gifts.

It was a kind gesture, so Jiang Sheng did not refuse it. He just asked Nan Zhu to accept it and remember it so that he could return the favor in the future.

Aunt Sun Hongyue no longer has to wash clothes for others. Instead, she stays in the pharmacy to clean, prepare and boil medicine, and cook for them.

However, my aunt had said early on that Jiang Sheng had already given her enough, so she came to work voluntarily and did not want a penny.

Jiang Sheng did not try to persuade them, but decided to give more to his grandfather and others when the money was distributed at the end of the month.

As soon as it opened, a long line formed outside the clinic.

The same rules as before, no one is allowed to cut in line.
