418 Minzhou Yingjia
On the day when Manager Li and his son were brought back, the Ying family sent someone to deliver an invitation, inviting Master Sun Sicheng and his apprentice, as well as the Chen family father and son to visit them.
The Chen family father and son also moved into the Sun Mansion, bringing only four personal guards with them. The rest of the people stayed in a nearby inn, so naturally there were not enough rooms.
Ping An also received a small note from Fu An, saying that he would bring someone to pick him up early the next morning.
This is expected.
The Ying family would definitely send someone to deliver the invitation as soon as possible, otherwise they would not be so sensible.
How could a family that could turn its business into a wealthy one in Minzhou be ignorant?
Mr. Chen was a little excited. He came here naturally to build up his business. He didn't dare to do that before because Minzhou was far from the imperial court and he heard that the people here were a bit fierce. He was afraid that he and his son would not be able to resist and would end up becoming sheep in the tiger's mouth.
Now the eldest son's tone has softened, and it all comes down to Young Master Ping'an. It can be said that the eldest son does not want to do this business at all, but he dotes on his apprentice, and Young Master Ping'an is willing, so this makes it possible.
"Son, you said you're going to Ying's house tomorrow, how are we going to discuss this business?"
Chen Xuan smiled and said, "Dad, the eldest son and Ping An are busy treating the old shopkeeper and his son. We will go there in the afternoon and explain our purpose directly. We will treat the Ying family, the Chen family, and the eldest son's master and his apprentice as three families. Apart from the capital, the remaining profits will be divided equally among the three families. As for whether the eldest son and Ping An will each take half or something else, we don't care. This is one kind of
The second type, the Ying family, the Chen family, the eldest son, and Ping An, will still deduct the cost and split the profits at 3:3:2:2. Dad, don’t forget that the two pictures drawn by Ping An turned out amazing when carved. "
Master Chen frowned and said, "It's fine to split the profits this way, but you must not let Master Ping An draw the pictures. His identity is precious, so don't lose the big picture for the small one."
"Dad, look at what you said. He is my friend, how can I not care about him? But what if Ping An is willing to provide some drawings? It's his own business, so it doesn't count as selling drawings."
Master Chen thought the same and said, "Son, you are only seventeen this year. You should go back to school next spring. I will take care of the business. I only have you as my son. We can't spend all the money in our family in this lifetime. I just like the feeling of making money. Otherwise, I should really stop."
"Dad, although I passed the exam, my ranking is not very good. It is still unknown whether I can pass the imperial examination in the future. Let's talk about it next year. If possible, I will ask Ping An where he will go to school next year. He is a third-place winner and has amazing talent. If I can stay with him, my hope may be greater."
Mr. Chen became excited and said, "That's right, my son is really thoughtful. You must get along well with Ping An in the next two months. Such a person is worth your lifelong friendship."
Chen Xuan remained silent.
Ping An is of course his best friend, but he doesn't want to make friends with him deliberately. He just wants to let everything take its course.
"Son, I'll go prepare some gifts. Since you're going to be with the eldest master, just take a piece of jade. Don't prepare anything else. It would be bad if you overshadow the eldest master."
Ping'an was also discussing with his master about the gift for tomorrow's visit. The Ying family asked for instructions and said that they would go to the mansion, and if it was a restaurant, then there was no need to bring a gift.
Sun Sicheng took out a small exquisite wooden box from the medical box: "I have a thirty-year-old wild ginseng here. It's not expensive, but it's enough."
Ping An laughed: "Of course it is enough. You and I are both officials, hahahaha."
Sun Sicheng also became happy.
"Ping An, Master has confirmed that you should help Master earn a real official position. When you are in your forties or fifties, you can quit and go home to practice medicine with Master."
"Master, have you ever thought about the day when we can open a medical academy together to teach people medicine, without hiding anything, and spread medical skills throughout the world. You will be the dean and I will be the vice dean. After many years, countless doctors in the whole Great Zhou will be our students."
Sun Sicheng was shocked. How could Ping An have such an idea? Wouldn't that mean he would make his own prescription public? Wouldn't other clinics learn the Sun family's prescription?
It's okay to save people, and occasionally some prescriptions can be passed on to everyone, such as two first aid methods, and plaster bandages. These prescriptions are passed on. The former is to resolve the crisis for the Sun family, and the latter is because sooner or later this method will be lost, and both have brought great benefits to the Sun family.
"Ping An, why do you think so?"
"Master, I know you might say I'm crazy, but I just think that one or two people have limited power and limited places to run. We can't save many people who can be saved. If we can train more good doctors and have them all over the Great Zhou, then can we save more people?"
Sun Sicheng looked at Ping'an's bright eyes and was speechless for a moment.
What can he say?
Ping'an's idea was correct, and it could be said to be a great virtue, but for the time being he was afraid that he could not do it, and he was reluctant to do it.
Over the years, the Sun family's Baicaotang has firmly become the number one medical family in the Great Zhou Dynasty, and Ping An has made a lot of contributions to this.
"Ping An, let's not think about these for now, we can slowly do it in the future. You see, Baicaotang now has branches in most of the prefectures and counties, and they can still save people. I also let them diagnose pulses for free in the middle and end of each month. If I meet someone who is particularly poor, I will let them reduce part of the fee. This is all the master can do."
Ping An said embarrassedly: "Master, I took it for granted. Some things can't be rushed."
The master and disciple discussed the treatment of the Li father and son again.
Li Chengwang is easy, just adjust it slowly. Ping'an happened to bring a lot of people this time, and Lengshui also has five newly found female doctors who can help prepare medicated food, boil medicine and do housework.
As for the Li father and son, they needed someone to take care of them. The original servants were driven away by Li Sheng and his son, and the people who bought them later did not dare to use them at all. They had already been sold by Wanli Fa, so they could only buy two more.
The next morning, Ping An, his master, and the Chen family father and son had just finished their breakfast and returned to the main hall when Fu An came in with a beaming face, accompanied by a vigorous young man.
"My dear, I am safe. Mr. Chen, Mr. Chen, this is my eldest cousin Ying Zhengming, I am here to take you to the Ying Mansion as guests."
Sun Sicheng and others stood up.
"Mr. Ying, you are so polite. Actually, we can just go by ourselves." Sun Sicheng smiled and said, "Mr. Ying, please take a seat."
Ying Zhengming bowed quickly and said, "Ying Zhengming pays his respects to the eldest master."
He turned to Master Chen again and said, "Greetings to Master Chen."
Mr. Chen hurriedly lifted him up and said, "Mr. Ying, there is no need to be polite. Please take a seat."
Ying Zhengming looked at Ping An and Chen Xuan again: "These two young masters should be Master Ping An and Master Chen. When we get to Minzhou, I will accompany you to take a look around. Fu An is grateful for your company along the way."
Ping An smiled and said, "Brother Ying, Fu An has been praising you to me all the way. It really is as good as the reputation he has been saying."
