"We want to buy a bigger yard to open a clinic."

Gao Zhijun explained.

"Open a clinic? Why buy a shop? Why buy a yard?"

Yazi asked in confusion.

"The shop is too small to open a clinic."

Gao Zhijun planned to use one entrance for medical treatment, one for inpatient care, one for classes, one for an operating room, and one for a dormitory. Therefore, she wanted to buy a large courtyard with five entrances and exits.

"I wonder how big a yard you want, young lady?"

Since the shop is small, the yard should not be small either.

"Let's take a look at the ones with four or five entrances."

Gao Zhijun told Yazi her request.

So, Yazi took Gao Zhijun and Huo Jinqian to see the courtyards with four and five entrances.

There are three rooms with four entrances and exits in total, one of which has a courtyard with four entrances and exits, but the location is remote and not suitable for opening a clinic.

There are two rooms with five entrances and five exits. One is in the west of the city, not far from the academy, only two streets away.

One is in the east of the city. It is large enough with a rockery, a small bridge and a pond underneath. Small fish are swimming around in the water. There are also lotus roots planted in the pond. However, at this time, the lotus flowers have withered.

Gao Zhijun likes both courtyards very much and doesn't know which one to choose.

"How much do these two courtyards cost?"

Gao Zhijun asked the broker to find out the price of the two courtyards. If it was suitable, she wanted to buy both of them.

She now has twenty-two thousand taels. She can only give the villagers blue bricks and tiles for a maximum of one thousand taels, and the wages for them are also a maximum of one thousand taels. She only needs two thousand taels, and the remaining twenty thousand taels should be enough.

"This courtyard is 2,300 taels, and the courtyard west of the city is 2,100 taels."

Yazi told Gao Zhijun the price of the two courtyards.

"Boss, this is so unfair of you. You're bullying us because we're just kids and asking for so much.

I'll give you a maximum of two thousand taels for this courtyard, and a maximum of one thousand eight hundred taels for the courtyard west of the city. If possible, I'll buy both courtyards. If not, we'll look for other markets."

Gao Zhijun has looked at the location and this is the highest price she can offer. If you want her to be a sucker, it is absolutely not possible.

Although she was a child of twelve or thirteen years old, in her previous life, she was an adult in her twenties. This child had the thinking of an adult, so it was impossible to deceive her.

Yazi didn't expect that she was an expert in the business. This was indeed the lowest price. If he sold it at this price, he could also make two hundred taels.

"Hey, this, since you want to buy it, I won't make any money from you. I'll sell it to you at this price."

Yazi said in an embarrassed manner.

He is a typical example of someone who takes advantage of others and acts ungratefully.

Gao Zhijun looked at Yazi with a sneer. This man was very dishonest. He clearly made money but refused to admit it. He was so hypocritical.

"If the boss makes it difficult for us, we won't buy it. We'll just leave it to the boss and sell it to someone else to make some money."

Isn't that just pretending? Everyone can do that. Since she's pretending to be embarrassed, she'll pretend to be embarrassed too.

"It's not difficult, it's not difficult. I was wrong. I did make money. Miss, let's go and handle the formalities."

When he heard that the item was not to be bought, Yazi was so scared that he quickly apologized. He couldn't let the two hundred taels of silver go to waste, otherwise he would beat himself to death.

Gao Zhijun has always been a person who knows when to quit.

Seeing that the effect had been achieved and the other party had apologized, she bought two yards from him.

He followed the broker to the market and gave four silver notes of one thousand taels. The broker gave him two silver notes of one hundred taels in change. Then he asked Gao Zhijun and Huo Jinqian to wait here for a while while he went to the yamen to handle the transfer procedures.

After waiting for a quarter of an hour, the broker gave Gao Zhijun two property deeds with her name on them.

He took the key from the broker, put the house deed away, and took a carriage to the yard in the west of the city.

I came to the yard in the west of the city, opened the gate and walked in.

This place is next to the street, with residences on both sides and shops opposite.

The yard had five entrances and five exits, which was very similar to what Gao Zhijun had imagined.

In front of the courtyard at the entrance is a spacious hall, suitable for a large cabinet dedicated to storing herbal medicines and administering medicine. Benches are placed opposite for patients to rest and wait. Inside the hall is a main hall and five rooms. The main hall is used for simple ailments, where doctors don't need to be highly skilled. The five rooms are dedicated to specialized clinics, such as surgery, internal medicine, pediatrics, gynecology, and an emergency department.

The second hall is used as the inpatient ward. Patients with severe conditions unable to move or those recovering from surgery must be admitted to the inpatient ward. The second hall is divided into the East Wing and the West Wing. The East Wing has a main room with two side rooms within it, which serve as VIP rooms and are more expensive. There are also three other rooms, which are standard wards, each with two beds for two patients. The West Wing's layout is similar to the East Wing.

The third hall would be used for classes. She would recruit many nurses and doctors, and she would teach them, teaching them how to perform surgery and how to use medications. The layout of the third hall would be the same as the second hall. Gao Zhijun planned to use the east wing for Western medicine classes and the west wing for Traditional Chinese Medicine classes. If possible, she would like the director of the hospital to teach Traditional Chinese Medicine, as Traditional Chinese Medicine emphasizes observation, smelling, questioning, and palpation. She wasn't particularly good at pulse diagnosis; she only had a basic understanding.

The fourth hall was used for surgery and medicine. The east wing was used as an operating room, and the west wing was used to make medicine for her.

There are five courtyards, which are used as dormitories. The east wing is for doctors and the west wing is for nurses.

The ward behind the fifth entrance is used as a kitchen, where people are hired to cook for the doctors and nurses.
