Be a small county magistrate in ancient times

Chapter 450: See what happens

Qin He was talking to Meng Changqing, "He's worried that I'll steal his patients. To be honest, seeing a doctor depends on the patient's wishes. They can go to whoever they want. Why would I steal his patients?"

Wen Dongchao scolded: "If you didn't rob, why did those people go to your side!"

Qin He just heard this and didn't care that this was in front of Meng Changqing. He immediately yelled back at Wen Dong, "They will go to whoever can cure the disease. Is it wrong that I am better than you?"

"How shameless of you!" Wen Dong was very disgusted with what he said, but he didn't know how to fight back, so he had to repeat: "How can you say such a thing?"

Qin Hezheng: "I have nothing to hide. I always do things in an open and aboveboard manner."

Wen Dong was so angry that he couldn't speak.

Meng Changqing then spoke to Wen Dong, "Calm down."

"You two had some conflicts in the past, and I've heard about that." Meng Changqing said, "I'm going to ask you two questions now. First, is it a good thing or a bad thing for you to study medicine?"

Qin Hezheng nodded, "Of course it's a good thing."

Meng Changqing asked Wen Dong again, "Doctor Wen, what do you think?"

"Good thing."

"Then, the second thing, are you willing to do this good thing?" Meng Changqing continued to ask.

The two were obviously hesitant. Qin He was saying, "I am willing, but..."

"But what? Just tell me." Meng Changqing was very patient in handling these matters. She said, "I asked you to further study medical skills because I wanted to make people's lives more secure. But in the end, this is beneficial to you.

So, if you have any concerns about this matter, please tell us now. If there are any areas that I haven't considered, please bring them up and we can work together to find a solution."

Qin Hezheng said, "Just as Doctor Wen said, during the time we were in Liangzhou City, the patients who were originally seeing us will inevitably have to go to another person. I'm afraid that the other person may not understand and delay the treatment."

"I understand your concerns." Meng Changqing did not explore the true intentions behind their words, but said, "But when it comes to delaying the treatment, poor medical skills will cause more delays.

Is this true? "

Qin He had nothing to say, so he smiled and nodded and said yes.

"The cost of our trip to Liangzhou City..." Wen Dong started hesitantly but couldn't finish the sentence.

Qin Hezheng continued, "Are we going to study medicine at our own expense? You just said that we need to find a house in the city."

"So what do you think is that it's better not for you to pay?" Meng Changqing asked.

“Please understand, my family is not having an easy time. I just paid off the debt for buying a house in Xinjie, and the remaining money is all spent on medicine.

If I go to Liangzhou City, I won’t be able to make any money during this period…”

"I know your difficulties." Meng Changqing didn't let him continue to talk, "All the expenses for you to go to Liangzhou City to study medicine can be paid by the government first.

But there are conditions, are you willing?"

"Could you please explain the conditions?"

"After you finish your studies, you must run a clinic in Beishan County within three years and treat patients well."

"Of course." The two men had no complaints about this. They made a living by running the clinic and had no other means of making a living.

Besides, they moved their family to Beishan County, where they live well and don't want to go anywhere else. Meng Changqing hadn't finished his conditions yet, "Half a year later, the government will increase taxes on both of your families. The increase will be used to recover the expenses paid by the government until you pay them back.

Ok? "

Wen Dong nodded, "Okay!"

Qin Hezheng also said, "This is as it should be. After all, we learned the skills ourselves, and we should return them to the government."

"In this way, the cost issue is resolved." Meng Changqing asked, "Are there any other questions?"

The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and Wen Dong asked, "Who of us will go first, and how long will it take?"

"Originally, you can discuss these issues on your own, but since Doctor Wen asked me, then let's start with Doctor Wen. After seven days, you and Doctor Qin will take turns. How about that?"

"I dare not object to what you say."

Meng Changqing smiled at him and said, "Let's put aside the previous conflicts so as not to hinder your current cooperation.

However, I have one thing to warn you: when treating a patient who comes to you, you should do your best to treat him no matter who he has seen before.

If I catch anyone doing something to a patient, don't blame me for being merciless."

"No, don't worry."

After the two men left, Bafang slid in from the door, looked at Meng Changqing, then looked at the two men who walked away, and asked in confusion: "When did your temper become so good?"

"Is this what you call a good temper?" Meng Changqing asked back.

"Isn't this good? Even I don't bother to argue with them, but they still want this and that even after the benefits are given to them. They are a bit ungrateful." Bafang continued: "When I saw them walk out, they looked at each other with an unlucky look, and they didn't look like they could cooperate well."

"Eight directions." Meng Changqing looked at him. "You have been listening to me at the door until now. Do you think I have taken it literally?"

Bafang lowered his head and thought carefully, "You just want to say the last sentence?"

"No matter how nice the words are, they won't work. It depends on how the things are done." Meng Changqing stood up and walked out. "Everyone has their own plans in life. It's just to protect their own interests. It doesn't interfere with anything. Why should I make things difficult for them?"

The two chatted as they walked towards the study. Halfway through, they heard a female voice behind them, "Master Meng."

This is Xiaojun's voice.

Meng Changqing turned around and saw Mo Lixiao and Xiaojun walking towards her.

After standing still in front of Meng Changqing, Mo Li smiled and said, "Thank you for your care these days, Lord Meng. I have been living in the county government office and it has disturbed you a lot. The house on Xing'an Street has been prepared and I will move there tomorrow."

After Xing'an Street was built, Meng Changqing kept several houses and did not sell them to anyone else.

When Mo Lixiao came last month, Meng Changqing picked out a two-story house for her to live in. However, the house was empty and had nothing in it. Furniture and decorations needed to be added one by one.

Today, the arrangements have finally been almost completed. Mo Lixiao is thinking about moving out of the county government office as soon as possible. After all, she is not an official and has no achievements, so it is not right for her to live here.

"Okay. I went to Xing'an Street last night and I think it's almost ready. If there's anything missing, just tell me." Meng Changqing asked again, "By the way, you often go to Xing'an Street, have you seen your neighbors?"

"Are you talking about the one selling millet cakes, Lord Meng?"

"Exactly!" Meng Changqing said, "Miss Shu is about your age, decisive and hardworking, and a very interesting person. You can spend more time with her when you have time."
