My father, on horseback, is the empire's dragon commander; off horseback, he is the current prime minister. People call me the Young Prime Minister.
My father and I both feared being slau...
"right!"
Xiao Luomu said, "Young Master, you can negotiate with the imperial court. The court can be responsible for Changsui and the surrounding counties. Since the court has no precedent for building factories in other counties, it can take the capital as the center and be responsible for the inner circle of Dajing. The outer circle will be contracted by our Eastern Chamber of Commerce!"
"As for Mr. Minghua, our Chamber of Commerce can fund the construction of branches of Minghua Medical Clinic in some important cities in Dajing. The clinic will not sell penicillin to the public; only patients who come to the clinic for treatment can use the medicine."
"Mr. Minghua, do you think this will work?"
Shi Minghua nodded and said, "I have no objection. It's just that I'm worried about the staffing if we set up too many branches. Since they're under my name, Shi Minghua, we must focus on the quality of the doctors."
Zhao Cheng interjected, "This will depend on Mr. Minghua's efforts in cultivating talent. I have a suggestion: Mr. Minghua could establish a medical center in Yanchuan City; funding is not a concern."
"Medical Center..." Xiao Luomu hesitated and said, "Young Prime Minister, this matter is very sensitive. It is not appropriate for you or the Chamber of Commerce to invest money."
“I didn’t say we had to pay,” Zhao Cheng said with a sly smile. “Didn’t I say at the beginning that Wang Ren and Yuan Zhang both sent people to ask Mr. Minghua for medicine? Since we’re opening up the market, let’s give the first batch of medicine to Wang Ren and Yuan Zhang and let them pay for the repair of this medical center!”
"In order to improve combat effectiveness and the survival rate of soldiers, the army can use military funds to support Mr. Minghua so that he can train more doctors, who can then give back to the army, thus achieving a virtuous cycle. Isn't that reasonable?"
Xiao Luomu's eyes lit up, and he snapped his fingers, saying, "Young Prime Minister, this is truly a brilliant plan!!"
