Daming Crazy Emperor

Chapter 698 A Brand New Way

In addition to sending people all over the world to open semicolons and treat people, what other promotion methods does Daming Medicine have?

If this is the case, it will be difficult to promote it.

At least, don't even think about promoting it within a few years.

It is not that there are no pharmacies in the Ming Dynasty, and there are not no medical centers in the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, with the development of the Ming Dynasty, there are more and more pharmacies and medical centers in the Ming Dynasty. Almost every city has several.

Li Shuchu's intention is probably to continue to use this method, or to upgrade it to combine the pharmacy and the medical center into one, and then send people all over the world to open this kind of branch.

To be honest, this method is indeed a bit outdated.

Is it called industrialization? At best, the handicraft workshop has been upgraded to a higher level, but it is still a handicraft workshop!
However, manual workshops have many disadvantages, not to mention low efficiency, and they need professionals to open them.

It's like the most common blacksmith's shop in the past.

If you are not a professional blacksmith, you will definitely not be able to open a blacksmith shop.

Moreover, if the blacksmith wants to open a blacksmith shop, he must be able to make all the iron tools that can be used in daily life.

This takes a long time to learn.

The same goes for pharmacies and medical clinics.

If you are not a professional doctor, you will not know how to dispense medicine at all, let alone see and treat people.

It is very difficult to train professional doctors, and it takes at least ten years to train a doctor who can really treat people with various diseases.

Otherwise, if a disease that is not very common can't be cured, then it's not promotion, but slapping yourself in the face.

Besides, pharmacies and medical clinics can't be opened just by saying.

If you want to open a pharmacy and a medical clinic, or a combination of the two, you must first have a shop.

Moreover, the pavement can't be too small, otherwise it won't be able to hold enough herbs.

With the shop, you have to be able to communicate with people to see a doctor.

If there is no way to communicate, then the disease will be very difficult to treat.

And at this moment, there is no common language in the world, and communicating with other countries in the world is not an ordinary trouble.

That is to say, if Daming Pharmaceutical Company rashly went to all over the world to open semicolons, I don't know how many general translators will be hired.

To be honest, this is not making money from industrialization, but losing money all over the world.

How much does it cost for the shop, doctor, and secretary?

Also, if the medicinal materials with various functions are to be prepared, at least a few rooms must be prepared, otherwise, some diseases cannot be cured.

How much is this again?

If you add the shipping cost, I really don't know how much to invest.

The problem is that one doctor can see so many patients in one day.

That is to say, there is actually not much income from opening a semicolon like this. It takes time for doctors to see a doctor, and it also takes time to prescribe and collect medicines. In fact, one doctor can't treat many patients in a day.

There is a fee problem here. If the fee is too low, you will pay for death. If the fee is too high, so that people dare not come to see a doctor, you will have to pay for death.

In other words, this kind of promotion is actually not advisable, unless you don’t plan to make money but throw money in it crazily.

This way of promotion doesn't work, what else is there to promote?

This Taichang naturally knew it well.

He thought about it carefully, and then introduced: "For example, we can prepare medicines for common diseases such as colds, headaches, backaches, etc. in advance, and make various ready-made medicines, and then order them to be shipped to all parts of the world. to sell."

Uh, do that?
These common diseases do not necessarily require a doctor to see, many of them can be felt by themselves, and it seems that it is not impossible to sell some commonly used medicines.

The problem is that this medicine is not sold and stuffed in the mouth!

Li Shuchu thought about it carefully, and then carefully reminded: "Your Majesty, this medicine is not something you can buy and eat, it has to be boiled. The effect will be greatly reduced. Those barbarians don't even know how much water to put in and how long to boil it, so is this possible?"

Who said that medicine can't be sold and eaten?
Taichang shook his head again and again and said: "Boke, you still haven't understood what I mean. I said that all kinds of ready-made medicines can be sold and eaten, so you don't need to make any more effort. If you still need to cook, promote it." It’s inconvenient to get up.”

Uh, boil it first?

Li Shuchu couldn't help being surprised and said: "Your Majesty, what do we use to pack the medicinal juice after brewing?
If it is specially made into a large porcelain bottle, the cost will be high.

Moreover, most of the medicines are not enough for one dose, it is estimated that you have to buy several bottles.

Ordinary people who have a cold or something may not be willing to pay so much money for it.

In addition, most of the medicines can't be stored for a few days after being boiled, so it is impossible for us to transport them to all parts of the world for sale. "

Who told you that it was boiled into concoction?
No way, people these days haven't seen any pills or capsules.

This is tantamount to a brand new method, and it is normal for Li Shuchu to not think of it.

Taichang thought for a while, and then patiently explained: "Berke, medicine doesn't have to be boiled into a concoction.

How cane sugar is made, you know?

We can boil the concoction dry to make a granule similar to sucrose, and drink it with boiling water.

Also, you must know Liuwei Dihuang Wan.

We can go a step further, grind the boiled medicine into powder, then add some flour or something, press it directly, and press it into small discs or something.

This tablet-shaped medicine is just like Liuwei Dihuang Pill, just swallow it with water, which is more convenient to eat. "

what?
When Li Shu heard this, he couldn't help being dumbfounded.

Of course he knew about sucrose and Liuwei Dihuang Wan.

The problem is that not every medicine can be boiled dry.

He was stunned for a moment, and then carefully reminded: "Your Majesty, some medicines have no effect if boiled dry, and most of the medicines will be much weaker after boiled dry. If we make sucrose or Like Liuwei Dihuang Pills, I am afraid that just one pack or two packs or one pill or two pills will not be able to cure any cold or cold."

What about your business acumen?
Taichang couldn't help smiling slightly and said: "If you don't like one pack or two, you can eat more packs, and if you don't eat one or two pills, you can eat more. Are you afraid that people will buy too much?"

Isn't this what profiteers do?

Li Shuchu hesitated for a moment, but still mustered up his courage and said: "My humble servant dares, Your Majesty, we study medicine to cure diseases and save people, not to deceive people!"

Can this be called cheating?

You haven't seen how those colonial robbers tricked people.

Taichang shook his head slightly and said: "This is not called cheating, it is also curing diseases and saving lives.

If we can spread Daming Medicine to all parts of the world, we don’t know how many people we can save.

The problem is that promotion requires money, and we can't let all the relevant people work for us on an empty stomach.

Therefore, it is also necessary to allow them to obtain some income appropriately to support their families.

Just like the people of the Indian tribe here, can you let them grow herbs for you for nothing when they are hungry? "

This is true, people work for you not because of any feelings, but to support the family, you can't let people work for you hungry.

Li Shuchu nodded slowly, and then asked, "Your Majesty, do you think our price is appropriate?"

Taichang said without hesitation: "This depends on the cost of the medicinal materials. For example, if the cost of a pack of medicine is one penny, then we have to sell it for at least five pennies. If the cost of ten medicines is one penny, then we sell it for one penny." A piece of money is fine."

When Li Shu heard the words, he couldn't help saying: "Your Majesty, isn't this a little bit too hard?"

Alas, you are still too tender.

Taichang couldn't help but shook his head slightly and sighed: "I don't know if you've heard the saying, if you don't do this, someone will do it, if you don't make money, someone will make it.

We don't call it ruthless at all. It is very cheap to cure a disease for a few pennies or a dozen pennies.

You may not have seen it before. For a cold or something, people pay hundreds of dollars, thousands of dollars, or even tens of taels of silver to treat it. "

This is indeed possible, and some people's hearts are so dark.

When Li Shu heard the words, he nodded slowly and said: "What the emperor said is very true, I have been educated."

Well, it should be almost there.

Taichang thought about it again, and then said: "For tablets or something, the taste doesn't matter, anyway, one mouthful will get you bored.

For granules, you should pay attention to the taste, for example, the herbal tea made by Zhongke Tiao is good.

Don't let people who suffer from the medicine spit out their bile in order to pursue the efficacy of the medicine. It is good for promotion if it tastes better. "

Uh, this, okay.

Li Shuchu hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "I understand."
