Thump thump thump...
"Master, it's time to go to work!"
The next morning, Xie Erxun called her from outside the door, and Qin Su woke up.
Huo Sijin had already gone out on business and instructed the people outside not to disturb her rest. So she slept until 9:30 in the morning.
This really worried Xie Erxun and Old Gu. They had been working all day and felt particularly energetic, so they wanted to continue.
Of course, they could go by themselves, but if Qin Su didn't go, they felt something was missing.
"I'll get up right away."
Qin Su stood up, and immediately felt a sore back and weak legs, making her feel completely out of sorts.
Sigh, men who have been holding back for too long are really not to be messed with.
However, the clinic was just starting out, and she was still worried. Besides, she had to organize the data herself.
After getting ready and having a quick breakfast, I went to the clinic.
The clinic is overcrowded, and those who came for treatment yesterday are all showing varying degrees of improvement today.
Especially those whose condition was originally mild, they are all fully recovered today.
Those who had been observing before couldn't help but come to see the doctor after hearing about the situation.
There are too many people outside. If they see everything, they won't be able to sleep all day.
Qin Su frowned and asked Long Hai to get a megaphone to announce to everyone that the clinic would only accept 200 people per day. After that, they would have to come back tomorrow.
Long Sui printed out more queue numbers, which were distributed all at once, and there were no more after the 200th person.
Those who didn't get a photo had to leave, but thought that if they came earlier the next day, maybe it would be their turn.
The police station proactively sent people over to help maintain order.
For a time, the atmosphere at the clinic was unusually harmonious.
After leaving the clinic, everyone headed towards the supermarket. If medical treatment wasn't an option, they would check the supermarket to see if there were any good products left.
If all else fails, you can go to a restaurant for a meal.
It can be said that the opening of supermarkets, clinics, and restaurants has had a tremendous impact on interstellar commerce.
The four major families that originally sold goods all suffered a major setback in their businesses.
Their daily necessities, medicines, and nutritional supplements were sold and became hoarded items.
"No, if this continues, our business will simply collapse."
The four major families couldn't hold back any longer. Sacrificing a daughter was nothing, but if their businesses couldn't be done, that would be a big problem.
Their wealth has shrunk, which means their future will no longer be glorious.
Having grown accustomed to a good life, how could they be willing to continue living a life of hardship?
"Shall we go find the Queen?"
Some people were unsure.
"We have to go. Without business, we're doomed. We might as well fight the Queen."
The members of the four major families responded immediately and set off for the clinic.
Qin Su was treating someone when Long Hai came to report.
"The four great families have arrived. Does the Queen intend to drive them away, or what?"
Qin Su raised her eyes, a faint smile playing on her lips.
"Since you're here, shouldn't we treat you well?"
"Let them in."
Long Hai frowned: "But they seem to have ill intentions. If we let them in, it might cause a lot of trouble."
"It's okay, I'm not afraid of trouble."
Although Qin Su was smiling, Long Hai could still sense danger in her tone.
The people of the four major families are doomed!
Thinking of the Queen's methods, he stopped thinking about it and went out to invite those people in.
While the members of the four major families waited outside, seeing so many people seeking medical treatment, their anger surged. These were originally their profits!
However, when they heard the prices for those people's treatments, they were all stunned.
Can such a small amount of money cure an illness?
If there's not even enough money to buy medicine, how can the illness be cured?
The interstellar plant wasteland was overrun by them. It took them a tremendous amount of effort to cultivate these medicinal plants and process them into medicine, which is why they are all very expensive.
However, Qin Su could take any medicinal herbs from his spatial storage, so there was no cost involved, and he could sell them cheaply.
Besides, she also wanted to use these methods to attract more people to come for medical treatment.
Only when more people come to see her can she better diagnose the cause of infertility in the interstellar people.
They originally came here to cause trouble, but the price left them speechless when they met Qin Su.
"Your Majesty, aren't you afraid of losing money by offering such cheap medicine?"
After holding back for a long time, someone finally spoke up and asked.
"Don't worry, I grow the medicinal herbs myself. They grow very well, so it's fine if I sell them at a lower price."
Qin Su didn't even look up, and said calmly.
“But at this price, it’s impossible to make money. Your Majesty, I know you want to unify the interstellar space, so you’re doing business at a loss. But even so, you can’t cut off other people’s livelihoods.”
"Yes, Your Majesty, we also need to do business and make a living. We are helpless because you are engaging in such unfair competition."
"Your Majesty, please adjust the clinic's prices."
...
A group of people were talking at once, as if they were the ones who had been wronged and Qin Su had been the one who had wronged them.
Qin Su sneered: "What do you mean by not competing? I do my business, you do yours. I'm not competing with you, so why are you helpless?"
Hmph, these people are just jealous because she has more patients.
Her low-priced clinic did attract many interstellar people for treatment. However, those who came for treatment were mostly from relatively poor families and would never go to the clinics of the four major families.
Those who previously sought treatment at the clinics of the four major families now look down on her small clinic run by a human from Earth and are unwilling to come here.
"Your Majesty, with so many people here, how can you say there was no looting?"
Looking at the popularity here, it's hard not to feel envious.
"Then ask them if they have the money to go to your clinic?"
Qin Su snorted coldly. The people of the four major families are used to being rich. Don't they know that many people are struggling to make ends meet?
"We don't have that much money to go to other clinics. We've carefully calculated every penny we have. We only come here because the prices are cheap; otherwise, we wouldn't dare go to the hospital."
Upon hearing this, a patient immediately spoke up, fearing that Qin Su would be persuaded by the four major families to raise medical prices.
"Yes, yes, we dare not go to any other hospital except here. Dr. Qin, you have to hang in there, otherwise we poor people will really have no way to survive."
Qin Su reassured the patients: "Don't worry, I won't raise the prices, and I certainly won't prevent people like you from getting medical treatment."
The members of the four major families frowned. They had always thought that the economy of interstellar space was already very developed, and that although their clinics were a bit expensive, they were still within the reach of ordinary people.
However, reality has now given them a harsh slap in the face.
It turns out that not many people come to their clinic for treatment, not because the interstellar people's physical condition has improved, but because everyone can't afford to see a doctor.
