Take the hospital back to ancient times

Chapter 151

At the same time, the old grandmother of the Chen family was also sitting in the carriage with Zhi Yuan. Outside, the fat man brought a few guards and also took the responsibility of driving the carriage.

The carriage is still rented.

A group of them just came out of a rich family. This is a nephew of the old lady's natal family.

"Grandmother, they were too irritating just now. At the beginning, the third uncle's family was losing money in business, and my aunt shouted loudly, and my aunt called shortly. Your old man borrowed them 5 taels of silver, but now you don't even have 1 taels of silver." Refuse to lend it to us."

The old lady smiled wryly,
"It's nothing. If our Jingshitang's house has not been ransacked and the sign is still hanging there, let alone 10 taels, they will be willing to borrow even [-] taels. Now that we are in trouble, we feel that we have offended the palace. There is no day to stand up.

I was also afraid that we would not be able to afford the money and would be useless, so this attitude was naturally indifferent. My aunt's face is not worth even 1 taels of silver. , You must take good care of your home and don't be looked down upon by others. "

When Zhiyuan heard it, her face turned red, "Wh-what kind of words are these?"

The old lady was also having fun, jokingly said:
"No, this child is good at everything, but he lacks economic acumen. If he has a thousand and uses ten thousand, if Miss Pan is also a mistress who doesn't understand anything, then the financial problem will fall on you Come on, as the saying goes, if you can’t eat poorly and dress poorly, you can’t count on being poor forever.”

Zhiyuan knew that she was the concubine's fate, so she didn't reject the future mistress, but she was a little shy.

"But grandma, what shall we do next?"

"At any rate, we have borrowed a total of 5 taels of silver now, but this is far from enough. Let's go to the other in-laws to take a look around. If it really doesn't work, we can only borrow interest."

Interest rate money, also known as usury, has different interest rates. Long-term loans are generally about [-]% interest. For short-term urgent needs, or people with poor credit, the interest rate may be more than doubled.

City buyers and sellers mortgaged a lot of shops or houses because they couldn't pay the interest.

If it is a rural area, because they can’t pay back the landlord’s money, their own land will be confiscated, and many people will become landless households. However, according to the laws of Dazhou, even if you lose your land, you still have to pay poll tax.

When the weather is good, you can live as a tenant or long-term laborer for the landlord's family, but if you encounter a natural or man-made disaster, it will be miserable, and the only way to go is rebellion.

This is also one of the reasons why every dynasty will inevitably encounter peasant uprisings in the end. Usury is a tool for the powerful to squeeze the people.

As soon as she heard that she was going to borrow interest, Zhiyuan, who was good at economics, became a little nervous, "Grandma, isn't this risk too great?"

Like the Chen family whose house was ransacked, people without collateral borrowed money, and the interest was at least four cents or more. If you borrowed 10 taels of silver, you would have to pay back 14 taels with interest after a year.

The medical clinic is to make money, but the expenses of the medical clinic are also high. In addition, "Jingshitang" has a rule handed down from its ancestors. For the poor, only the cost is charged, and no profit is made.

So in general, Jingshitang's profit is not that high. This is because after the previous batches of goods were robbed, the account suddenly went short.

The old lady looked helplessly at the scenery outside the carriage, and remained silent. At this moment, the voice of the fat man came from outside the carriage:
"Old lady, we have arrived at Pan's house."

At this time, the current head of the Pan family, Mr. Pan Bixing, was discussing with his family what would happen to the new layout of the Bianliang City Traditional Chinese Medicine Center after the Chen family withdrew.
In general, this is an opportunity and a risk for the Pan family.

Pan Bihe has become the "Prince Doctor Quan" of the Tai Hospital, which is equivalent to acting as the second in command of the Tai Hospital. This is his reputation.

Therefore, the Pan family can also be called "Pan Yicheng's family". You must know that anyone who can become a medical doctor is an existence who has reached the pinnacle of medical skills. This "Medical Cheng's family" is definitely a gold-lettered signboard.

With this signboard, it will definitely attract a large number of new patients to come to seek medical treatment. This is a good opportunity to expand "Quanmingtang" and seize the opportunity to occupy more markets.

But the problem is that the "Gushengtang" and their backer, Prime Minister Cui, are quite aggressive now.

The downfall of the Chen family was due to Chen Jinsong's own inexperienced medical skills, but it was obvious that "Gushengtang" and Prime Minister Cui were behind it, otherwise the family would not have been ruined.

Now that the "Doctor's House" has become the Pan's family, the target of "Gushengtang" will definitely be facing the Pan's family. This is the biggest threat. The Cui family is not willing to let the position of Yicheng fall into the hands of others.

Will Pan Bihe and the imperial physician also have his family ransacked because of a medical error?Following in the footsteps of the Chen family?
This is something that the Pan family will most likely encounter. Will "Quan Ming Tang" be able to withstand it?

Originally, "Jingshitang", "Quanmingtang", and "Xuanxingtang" joined forces to form allies, but now there are only two left, and the pressure is even greater.

Therefore, the closure of "Jingshitang" may even withdraw from Bianliang, which is definitely not a benefit for the Pan family, but a disadvantage.

Just when everyone was at a loss for what to do, someone came to report: "Master, the old lady of the Jingshitang Chen family came to the door in person."

Pan Bixing stroked his beard, "The old lady has come in person, it seems that Jing Shitang may not be willing to quit Bianliang, Wenlong, you go to meet him in person."

Pan Wenlong is also a heartless master, so he quickly agreed: "Okay."

The old lady borrowed money this time, so it was naturally on business, so she didn't go directly to the inner hall, but went to the front hall with Pan Wenlong.

As a servant, Zhi Yuan had nowhere to go, so she was led to wait in a side hall of the inner hall.

After all, he was the son of a rich family, and when he arrived at Pan's house, he didn't feel the cramped feeling of Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. Instead, he sat there calmly, just looking at the scenery outside the window, somewhat hazy.

After a while, I saw several people walking in.

Zhiyuan hurriedly stood up and wished her a blessing, not knowing how to address her.

Zhi'er next to him was more discerning, and quickly introduced:
"Sister, don't worry, this is my wife, this is my young lady, we want to ask how your Chen family is doing now?"

After Zhi Yuan heard it, she realized who it was before her, and hurriedly saluted again: "I've seen my wife, I've seen my little lady."

Yu Xiufeng looked at the maid next to the old lady of the Chen family, and she was more polite:
"Sit down, I came to see you today just to ask how the Chen family is doing now? What about your Seventh Young Master?"

The Chen family was ransacked yesterday, which made the whole Pan family very nervous. Of course, Yu Xiufeng was worried that her daughter would suffer in the future. After all, money is not everything, without money is absolutely impossible.

If a man has no house, no car, no job, her mother-in-law has a lot to think about.
