"You girl, what did you see? If you have anything to say, just say it." Liang Cheng saw her strange expression and asked with a raised eyebrow.
Shen Qingqian shook his head, "It's nothing. After the data is compiled, I will show it to my uncle."
It was just her rough estimate just now. It would be better to wait until the precise data is calculated before telling others.
When Liang Cheng heard this, he guessed a little bit and stopped asking any more questions.
Seeing that they wanted to discuss other matters, Shen Qingqian withdrew first.
She hadn't been to the military medical office for some days, so she headed there.
"Eh? Why are you here?" Dr. Hu was surprised when he saw her coming, and then waved to her enthusiastically, "That's just right. You have experience in this matter. Come and talk to them."
Shen Qingqian was confused, "What's the matter?"
"Sixth Miss, Dr. Hu just discussed with us that we would like to be like the weapons inspector, and we can also set up a medicine shop to earn some pocket money for everyone." Xiao Sun said with a bitter face.
Shen Qingqian was startled when he heard this, "Pharmaceutical shop?"
Isn't that just competing with Jingrentang for the market?
Doctor Hu glared at Xiao Sun, "You are really trying to save the old man's face, but you are just making a medicine. Seeing how difficult it is for you, you backed down before we even started."
"No, I just..." Xiao Sun wanted to defend, but his words failed him and he didn't say anything.
Shen Qingqian was now sure that Dr. Hu wanted to imitate Mr. Qin and make some extra money for the Military Medical Office while there was no war in the army.
"Girl, do you have any suggestions?" Doctor Hu looked at Shen Qingqian eagerly.
He didn't know anything else, but he knew that Old Man Qin often asked this girl about things, especially business matters. This girl was no worse than those businessmen.
Shen Qingqian glanced at the room. Everyone's eyes were looking at her, which made her speak more cautiously. She first looked at Dr. Hu and asked, "Do you always want to do this business for a long time, or do you only plan to make a fortune in the short term?" Just money?"
"Ah? Is there any difference?" Dr. Hu asked doubtfully.
Shen Qingqian was dumbfounded, "Of course there is a difference."
The Military Medical Department is different from the Ordnance Inspector. They have to be prepared at any time. Once a war breaks out, all military doctors and apprentices will have to go to the battlefield. It is not realistic to build a medicine shop-if the war lasts for a year and a half, this business will still be available. Do you want it?
Of course, if you want to grow for a long time, it is not impossible, but from the beginning, a lot of manpower, material resources and energy must be invested in cultivating external talents, so that the patent medicine shop can be supported during wartime.
But Doctor Hu obviously didn't want to do it for a long time.
After listening to Shen Qingqian's explanation, Imperial Physician Hu suddenly understood, and then said decisively: "Let's make some money first, and then let's talk about it in a year's time if we want to do it long-term."
"Are you sure?" Shen Qingqian confirmed.
Doctor Hu nodded, "Well, our military medical office is too poor to dare to invest a large amount of money at the beginning. If the things cannot be sold, we don't know how long it will take to use them."
The weapons supervisor was taking orders from outside, while they were selling patent medicines to outsiders. One was passive and the other was active. He had better be cautious.
After hearing this, Shen Qingqian thought for a while and then said: "Let's see, in half a month there will be three caravans in Ezhou, starting from the north city of Hubei in three directions: east, south and west. You have to work harder recently and do some business." After the batch of medicine is released, I will ask the caravan to take it around Ezhou to check the situation."
"Sure!" Dr. Hu clapped his hands, "This is no problem, but... what medicine should we use?"
Shen Qingqian: "..."
