I practiced medicine in ancient times

The next day, Xu Qingyi brought Xu Qingping and Xu Qingan to the town.

Today is the day agreed with Manager Zhou that the clinic will collect medicinal materials and send them to the county.

When she arrived at the back door of the clinic, she saw dozens of horse-drawn carriages parked at the door, and large and small packages of medicinal materials were piled up like a mountain on the carriages. It was obvious that they were ready.

"Doctor Xu, these are the medicinal materials we have collected. They are ready and can be sent to the county at any time." When Shopkeeper Zhou saw Xu Qingyi, he went up to him and said.

Xu Qingyi nodded. She knew very well how important these medicinal herbs were to the people in the county. They also concerned the reputation of the county clinic, so she did not dare to be careless at all.

She carefully checked the medicinal materials on each carriage and confirmed that they were correct. As for the quantity, someone would naturally count them after they were delivered to the county clinic. After she received the paper with the list, quantity and variety of registered medicinal materials from Shopkeeper Xiao Zhou, she immediately set off for Chuanshan County.

Xu Qingyi got on the carriage and led several coachmen loaded with medicinal herbs. As the carriage bumped along, they began their journey to Chuanshan County.

Originally, they would have been able to reach Chuanshan County in less than two days by galloping. However, this time, they were carrying a lot of medicinal materials, which greatly delayed their journey. It took them three and a half days to finally reach Chuanshan County.

"Qingyi, you're back?" When Xu Qingyi arrived at the back door of Chuanshan County Clinic, Manager Hou saw from afar the carriage in which Xu Qingyi was sitting, and a dozen vehicles carrying medicinal materials behind her driving towards this side.

When Shopkeeper Hou saw this, his eyes lit up and a slight look of joy appeared on his face.

"Manager Hou, which one of them will return to the clinic?" After Xu Qingyi got off the carriage, she handed the list of medicinal materials given by Manager Xiao Zhou to Manager Hou and asked.

“You are the fourth one to come back, and you are also the one who brought back the most medicinal herbs.

I knew that there were quite a few medicinal herbs purchased, picked and processed in the Qingshui Town warehouse, but I didn't expect there were so many.

With the medicinal materials collected from the clinics in the five towns under Chuanshan County, we can hold at least three free clinics without worrying about running out of medicinal materials.

After that, we changed it to two free clinics a month, and after the third month, it was changed to one free clinic. As the number of free clinics decreased, our clinic was able to be self-sufficient in collecting, preparing and purchasing medicinal materials. "Shopkeeper Hou took the list of medicinal materials, glanced at it, and saw that Qingshui Town collected much more medicinal materials than the clinics in other towns, then he smiled and said to Xu Qingyi.

Three days later, the third free medical consultation was held as scheduled in the south of the city.

After being held three times in a row and after the publicity for the first two times, the number of people attending the free medical consultations has increased each time. The consultations have spread to the counties and towns surrounding Chuanshan County and the news has gradually spread.

If the free medical consultations are reduced to once a month in the future, it will surely attract more sick people to seek medical treatment.

As time went by, the influence of the free medical consultation gradually expanded, not only attracting more patients to seek medical treatment, but also attracting the attention and participation of surrounding counties and towns.

As May turned to June, after the fifth day of the free clinic, the number of people visiting Huichun Clinic exploded, and as a result, the daily revenue increased rapidly.

It was not until two days before the free clinic that the number of people coming to Huichun Medical Clinic for treatment decreased.

It can be seen that the free medical consultation at the Rejuvenation Clinic was a right move.

Even so, the revenue of the Rejuvenation Clinic in May did not decrease. Instead, it was one-third higher than that in April.

When someone is happy, someone else is sad.

The increased revenue of the Huichun Clinic was all taken from the Miaoshou Clinic.

At this time, the Miaoshou Clinic was filled with a gloomy atmosphere. Not only were the number of patients coming to the clinic reduced by half compared to before, but the operating income also dropped by half.

Now Miaoshou Clinic can only maintain its expenses.

In a room of the Miaoshou Clinic, the clinic's manager Yun, doctors Lan and Yang were sitting with sad faces, sighing from time to time.

The free medical consultations offered by Huichun Clinic have attracted many of their patients, resulting in their current operating income barely enough to cover their expenses.

Shopkeeper Yun looked at the account book in front of him with a frown on his face, feeling powerless. He looked up at Doctor Lan and Doctor Yang and said bitterly, "What should we do? The move by Huichun Clinic has put us in a difficult situation."

There is one more thing Shopkeeper Yun didn't say: If I had known this would happen, I wouldn't have done it in the first place.

Before, when he saw Huichun Clinic offering free medical consultation in the south of the city, he had already said that they would also go for the free medical consultation. Now it was too late to say anything, and he could only blame himself for not insisting at that time.

Doctor Yang sighed, a hint of helplessness flashed across his eyes: "We thought that the free clinic of Huichun Clinic would only be short-lived, but we didn't expect their influence to be so great that it could last so long."

Doctor Lan was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Perhaps, we can try to change our strategy and provide free medical consultations?"

Shopkeeper Yun and Doctor Yang looked at Doctor Lan at the same time. Doctor Lan was the first to refuse the free clinic, and Doctor Lan was the first to agree, so Shopkeeper Yun and Doctor Yang were full of surprise. Shopkeeper Yun asked hesitantly, "Is this... is this possible? Our revenue is already much lower than before. If we offer free clinics, wouldn't that make things worse?"

"Actually, I have another way to solve our current predicament." Doctor Yang said with a gleam in his eyes, not knowing what he was thinking of.

"Doctor Yang, it's already this late. Why are you still keeping it a secret? Tell us what you have planned so we can refer to it." Seeing this, Doctor Lan urged Doctor Yang.

“The free consultation at Huichun Clinic not only seized the initiative, but also left a good impression on the people.

We followed suit and provided free medical consultations, but it is hard to surpass their influence in a short period of time. However, we can consider this issue from another perspective.

This year, the medical fight between our two clinics will be carried out earlier and on a larger scale. It would be best if the county magistrate could also attend the examination.

If our clinic wins the medical fight, the reputation and credibility of Huichun Clinic will definitely suffer a blow.

At that time, we took the opportunity to spread the word that the free clinic provided by Huichun Clinic had helped us, and we directly reaped the fruits of Huichun Clinic's victory. "Doctor Yang said with some thoughts in his mind.

"I think it's feasible at this time, but the Rejuvenation Clinic may not accept the challenge." Doctor Lan said with his eyes slightly brightening when he heard this.

"As long as the county magistrate has spoken, Huichun Clinic will have to accept the challenge even if it doesn't want to." Manager Yun said meaningfully.

The first three things a new official does when he takes office is to organize this medical fight in a grand manner and let the county magistrate preside over it. It is reasonable and moral for the county magistrate to refuse.
