Chapter 296: Play a wave of advertisements
Since it was about the prince's wife, Liang Jiugong didn't dare to hide it.
Emperor Kangxi:.......I’m so furious!
"I worked so hard to select a wife. The eldest daughter is weak, the eighth daughter has difficulty giving birth, and now the fourth daughter has this disease..."
孽 孽!
He wondered if he was too careless and hadn't done enough research when choosing wives for his sons.
Emperor Kangxi had never felt so regretful in his entire life. Facing his son's wife, he finally experienced what regret was.
But there is nothing that can be done about it. Considering that the fourth brother was not very close to the concubine, it can be considered a good thing.
If he were to be like the eldest brother and be deeply in love with Fu Jin, that would be a real sin.
Thinking that it was all thanks to Niuhulu, he generously rewarded them with a large sum of money.
Because he felt guilty towards the Fourth Master, the reward was very generous. It was specially carried from the main courtyard of the Concubine Fu and then to Linfengju.
Lin Mingyan was flattered: "Master, this is all thanks to you!"
"Cha Cha is richer than me now," the Fourth Master joked as he helped her put on a peach blossom hairpin.
Lin Mingyan is indeed not short of money now. This unexpected fortune from Emperor Kangxi will just gather dust if it is left alone, so she might as well use it.
She waved her hand and invested in the one hundred female doctors.
And decided to go and see in person the newly established Miaorentang.
The use of the word "wonderful" not only implies a masterful hand, but also clearly tells everyone that this clinic is run by a woman.
Of course, it is impossible for all one hundred female doctors to stay in the capital. Wouldn't that be a waste?
So on the same day, "Miao Ren Tang" were opened in ten cities of the Qing Dynasty.
Of course, those who pass the assessment and stay in the capital are the best among them.
Traditional Chinese medicine generally cannot be quantified and assessed, but Lin Mingyan managed to get Doctor Jia to come up with a set of standards.
Moreover, most of the assessment is on basic theoretical knowledge and sewing techniques, so it is fair and just.
Among the ten people who stayed in the capital, the most outstanding one was Madam Lin, who ranked first in the assessment.
Women at that time generally did not have names. When they were mentioned, they were just called "Ms. So-and-so". When they met them, they would call them "Mrs. So-and-so".
The same is true for Mrs. Lin. When she was at home, she was the eldest maid in the Lin family.
Later she got married and became Mrs. Lin, and later became Widow Lin.
Now that she has left her husband's home and is not going back to her parents', she has finally become Mrs. Lin.
When Lin Mingyan came over, Mrs. Lin had just finished treating an old lady.
He hurried over to greet her: "Greetings, Master."
As she said that, she asked someone to take over her treatment and led Lin Mingyan and others into the inner courtyard.
After Lin Mingyan sat down, she looked around at the environment and thought to herself, it’s really nice.
Just like any other medical clinic, the inner courtyard was filled with herbs drying in the sun, and several people were walking back and forth turning them over.
Seeing her interest, Madam Lin hurriedly introduced, "Master, we're taking advantage of the good weather to dry the medicinal herbs in the warehouse."
The business of their clinic is not very good. After all, it has just opened and not many people know about it.
Moreover, although there are many doctors in the clinic, they are all women and are naturally not trusted.
More importantly, they treat women.
There are not many women who can afford to see a doctor. Those who can afford it are of course from wealthy families, and they naturally look for better male doctors.
So the clinic has been open for a few days, but it is not making any money.
Fortunately, they have the support of their master and have plenty of manpower, so they can go out and collect some medicinal herbs and prepare them themselves, which at least saves some money.
"We picked these ourselves. Now we know where the good herbs are in the mountains near the capital," said Mrs. Lin with a hint of pride in her tone.
They have only studied medicine for a year, but they can already treat patients independently.
It's not because they are smarter than the boys who have been studying since childhood, but because they have no way out.
Medical students are provided with food and accommodation, and can also receive a small scholarship every month.
But if you fail the assessment, there is no way out.
So among these one hundred women, none of them failed the assessment.
Among the one hundred men next door, there are still a few who are not very good.
Lin Mingyan frowned after hearing what she said: "If the herbs are not enough, you can apply for money. Don't delay treating patients and saving lives just for a few herbs."
Her original intention was to treat poor women, and she had long been prepared for the possibility that the clinic would not make money.
Anyway, he had cheated some money from Fu Jin, and he also took out some money from the profits of Guibinju to provide financial support.
If there are any other noble people who have any difficult problems, you can go and knock on their door... no, go and lobby for them, they are all reliable sources.
"Master, there are more of us. If we go out to collect herbs, we can better understand the habits of the herbs and won't delay the treatment," Madam Lin explained quickly.
In fact, she didn't say more, mainly because there are not many patients now.
Except for the sisters who were practicing suturing the perineum, other people couldn't just sit in the clinic and eat for free.
Lin Mingyan nodded and asked, "How many patients can the clinic see in a day now?"
She glanced outside at the lobby, which seemed deserted and no one was around.
"One day... I guess there are only two or three patients," Mrs. Lin said with a little shame.
These two or three numbers are a bit exaggerated. After all, some of them came on the first day and came back for a follow-up examination three days later, so they were counted as two people.
If a clinic has ten doctors but only two or three patients a day, it is on the verge of bankruptcy.
Only then did Lin Mingyan truly understand how difficult life was for women.
She had just seen the Renhetang across the street. When the doctor opened his clinic, some patients lined up onto the street.
This shows that there are still many people who are sick during this season.
But the patients at Renhetang are basically all men, and there is hardly a single woman to be seen.
She had just seen the only woman, an elderly old woman who seemed to be brought by her filial son to see a doctor.
There were no young women.
But if you say that only men are sick, that is definitely not true.
Women are weaker, so when the seasons change, there will definitely be more people who get sick.
However, these people are not qualified to see a doctor. If they are sick, they can only endure it and rely on their own immunity to get through it.
It’s fine if you can get through it, but what about those who can’t?
Lin Mingyan felt that this wasn't going to work. Without patients, what good was this women's clinic?!
She said in a deep voice: "Get ready, I want to run some advertising!"
"Advertisement?" Madam Lin didn't understand.
Lin Mingyan gave a brief explanation and did not go any further.
After all, a doctor's only job is to treat patients well, and the rest will be done by her as the master.
Just like that, after a few days of preparation, an ordinary medical clinic in the capital suddenly became popular.
This clinic has a rule - it only treats women, and...
