On the morning of the opening, there were still people celebrating nearby. No one came to see the doctor. It was not until the afternoon that a few patients with colds and flu arrived. Regardless of the size of the illness, he had to treat a few of them first as an advertisement. Their serious, responsible, gentle, and enthusiastic attitude made the first batch of people return satisfied. After that, people came and went. It could be said that the first day of opening was very popular.
In the evening, he gathered with Mister Zhou, the shopkeeper, the accountant, the doctor in charge, and the medical apprentices. They sat at two tables in the famous restaurant in the capital, the Drunken Immortal Restaurant. These people had just been recruited for a few days. Gathering together on the first day of the opening could also increase their cohesiveness and get to know each other. "Today is the opening day. Although we've met a few of you, we don't know each other very well." Li Rui stood up and spoke first. Let me introduce you first. Since we are fated to be together, we must support each other in the future!”
Li Rui first introduced Mr. Zhou."This is Zhou Jianqiu, the owner of Lixiang Courtyard. He has a lot of connections in the capital."”Everyone cupped their hands and looked forward to meeting him. Li Rui turned to the other side and said,"This is the manager of our medical center from Shanxi. He used to run his own inn. He's my family's Li Youfu ~ This is the accountant of the medical center, Song Xingye. He used to do business in Jiangnan and has returned to Beijing for the past two years ~ This is the doctor of the medical center, Chen Cheng. He has been practicing medicine in Beijing for many years and is famous ~" After introducing everyone, Li Rui stood up and raised his wine glass."It's fate that we're all gathered together. For this fate, please drink to the brim." After Li Rui finished speaking, everyone stood up and raised their glasses together. The apprentices at the other table also stood up and raised their glasses to Li Rui's table. After downing the first cup, Li Rui gestured for everyone to sit down and said,"I've always been a person who doesn't care about trifles. Today's opening is a good day. Everyone, please feel free to drink!”
The entire banquet was carried out in a very relaxed atmosphere. Everyone chatted happily and was full of hope for their future life and work. The only thing that Li Rui asked the manager to agree to was that although Li Rui was the owner, he wanted to have management rights, while the head manager would have auxiliary management rights and management rights. At this time, the relationship between the owner and the shopkeeper was that the owner had to give full authority to the shopkeeper to manage. He could not even use the shop assistants, apprentices, and maids at will. They only had the right to own the property and not the right to operate it. Therefore, Li Rui discussed with the shopkeeper and explained that Li Rui basically did not ask about the situation. If the shopkeeper was not satisfied with Li Rui within three years, Li Rui was willing to pay ten years of salary unconditionally.
The head shopkeeper, who was originally very unhappy, heard Li Rui's words and his expression softened. Although he was unwilling, he agreed on account of Li Rui's sincerity! However, he said,"Boss, I also request to retain the right to dismiss the shopkeeper at any time.”Li Rui agreed and then the deal was settled. However, after a year, the head shopkeeper no longer had any thoughts of firing him, because Li Rui basically did not interfere in the business. He mainly increased the benefits of the employees and reformed some far-sighted business policies.
In ancient times, business was mainly based on integrity. First of all, property rights were clear. As the investor, Caidong had the ownership of the assets of the business and the right to distribute the operating results. The manager was only an operator. He had the right to allocate assets for profitable operations during the operation period, but he had no right to implement the distribution of operating results. Therefore, if Li Rui insisted on intervening in the business, he might just buy some stocks and leave.
That night, Li Rui went through the newly opened small door in the backyard of Lixiang Courtyard to the quiet garden of Clear Lotus and the other two girls. Everyone was very happy to hear about the situation in the clinic today. They did not chat for long that night because there would definitely be more patients coming tomorrow than today.
Due to the large discount during the first three days of the business, the patients who had been treated recovered quite well. The number of people who came to see the doctor slowly increased. Half a month later, the clinic was gradually on the right track, so Li Rui did not have to worry too much. Li Rui was very happy to see everything turn out well. Li Rui felt that it was worth it whether he earned money or not when he saw the patient's illness being cured.
Li Rui's original intention in opening the clinic was to mainly serve the poor, so the consultation fee and medicine fee were not high. Basically, all the profits were used to buy medicinal herbs, various sundries, and salaries. Doctor Chen was very experienced in treating common diseases, so he didn't need Li Rui at all. Li Rui only needed to treat patients with incurable diseases that were difficult to treat in this era.
Besides, how could there be an illness that couldn't be solved every day? Therefore, Li Rui became idle. As for those herbs that were lacking, it was Manager Li's business to check the accounts every day. Li Rui didn't need to worry about it, and he didn't bother to ask. Li Rui just patrolled around every day to show concern for his employees.
Thinking about it, Li Rui, who had nothing to do, decided to set a rule in the shop. Thinking about the business model of modern enterprises, Li Rui thought about it and decided on a reward and punishment system. Then, he set many holidays and holidays. During the holidays, only a few people would rotate. There were two days off each month according to the beginning and end of the month. Then, there were paid holidays for Spring Festival, Shangyuan Festival, Qingming Festival, Dragon Boat Festival, Qixi Festival, Zhongyuan Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, Double Ninth Festival, Xiayuan Festival, Laba Festival, Zaoshi Festival, New Year's Eve, and so on.
Li Rui carefully drew a blueprint and prepared to plan the renovation of the backyard of the medical hall. In addition to the warehouse where the medicinal herbs were stored, the storage of the medicinal herbs should be cleaner, categorized, and paid attention to insects, moisture, and fire.
He was committed to expanding the original kitchen into a staff canteen, implementing a daily working meal system, matching meat and vegetables, and changing the daily dishes according to the season.
The toilets in the newly built and renovated medical centers were changed into cleaner and more convenient water flushing toilets. The toilets in ancient times were not only poor in hygiene, but also unsafe. There was once an emperor who accidentally fell into the toilet after eating and died. Therefore, the toilets after renovation were not only clean, but also had good safety measures. The history book Zuo Zhuan, Duke Cheng's 10th year, recorded that Duke Jing of Jin, Ji Wei,"After eating, he swelled up, went to the toilet, and died."
In addition, a more luxurious brick-and-wood building for staff dormitories was to be built. Moreover, it would be a high-class suite with at least three rooms, one living room, and one bathroom. Shopkeepers, treasurers, and doctors were all qualified to stay as long as they needed it. Normal acolytes also needed a room for each person, but it was a little more simple. He still needed to recruit some chefs, maids, and guards. In the future, if there was any need, he could add more. In the future, when the medical hall became stronger, he might need to recruit some doctors and build some wards. I wonder how happy everyone will be after Li Rui announced this news ~
Li Rui patrolled around and then returned to the Fragrant Garden of the Li Chun Courtyard (Qing He's garden would be called Fragrant Garden in the future). Li Rui and Qing He discussed the recruitment of chefs, maids, and guards. Clear Lotus suggested sending some guards from Beautiful Fragrance Court to help first. Li Rui thought about it and didn't agree. However, when he thought of how the courtesans in the backyard of the Beautiful Fragrance Courtyard were all pitiful women. Li Rui thought that since the people of the Beautiful Fragrance Court were originally subordinates of the Green Phoenix Douque Palace, it would be better for Li Rui to teach these courtesans martial arts skills. This would allow them to have some self-defense power, and also increase the defensive strength of the Beautiful Fragrance Court and the Hundred Herb Hall. Wouldn't that be great?
So he said to the three women," I have the intention to expand our defense force, but we don't need to recruit from the outside. The prostitutes in the backyard are still young and their muscles and bones are not yet stable. What do you think?”
The three women thought it was a good idea. Many of these prostitutes had been adopted by Qing He since they were young, and their relationship was very deep. If they could learn martial arts to protect themselves, it would be the best. They all nodded in praise. Ever since Qing He followed Li Rui's orders and tried her best to save the weak women who had fallen into the mortal world, the team of prostitutes had grown from the original twenty to thirty. Of course, these new courtesans were all good women who had just been sold by human traffickers or who had no choice but to become prostitutes in recent years, as long as the financial conditions of Lixiang Courtyard allowed it.
After that, Li Rui asked Qing He to personally gather and select loyal and reliable people. Moreover, the older ones had to find a good husband for the girls and marry them off in a grand manner. They would not delay the girls. Now that Li Rui had personally made the decision, those older gifters who were about to stay with their benefactors were finally saved. Li Rui took out some money and asked Qing He to find a good family for them. Therefore, the older Qing Guan people were no longer selected this time. Although most of the rich families were unwilling to marry, poor families or ordinary families were naturally willing. However, Li Rui also had to investigate in detail. If the family was kind and honest, Li Rui would promise a dowry that was enough for the family to eat and wear for ten years. Then, he would call the male who married the prostitute of Lixiang Courtyard to do odd jobs or servants. After all, Li Rui didn't want to make his lady suffer!
As for the matter of learning martial arts, Li Rui first taught Shiyu and Ningxiang. Although Li Rui still taught them the Little Freedom Non-Phase Technique directly through the means of the Power Transmission Talisman and the Life Creation Talisman, the two of them did not have a good foundation in martial arts like Qing He. Qing He had learned martial arts from Mr. Zhou Jianqiu since childhood, while the two of them spent most of their time learning zither, chess, calligraphy, and painting. Later, although they also learned a little superficial martial arts under the care of Qing He, they knew very little about the foundation of martial arts and their cultivation was not high.
For the past two days, Li Rui had been explaining the basic knowledge of tendons and internal energy to them in detail. The two of them were indeed the most outstanding talented women in the Lixiang Courtyard. Their learning speed was indeed fast. Coupled with the Life Creation Talisman that Li Rui had gathered for them, they had already obtained the first trace of inner strength in six hours. It was already very impressive!
When Li Rui was young, it took him one or two days to sense the first trace of inner energy when he cultivated inner energy. However, with such a fast speed, it could be seen that the two girls 'aptitude was not bad. According to Li Rui's estimation, even if he did not help them at all, the two girls would only be able to sense the first trace of internal strength in four or five days at most.
On that day, Qing He gathered and selected a total of 20 young women. The oldest was only 16 years old, and the youngest was only 13 years old. Each of them was as beautiful as a flower and as delicate as jade. They had their own unique characteristics, causing Li Rui to be unable to stop thinking about them. Li Rui stabilized his mind and did not want to be confused by the external demons.
Now that the candidate was chosen, Li Rui started to get on the right track. Li Rui first guided the spiritual energy of heaven and earth in a small area every day to cleanse the impurities in the women's bodies. After that, he taught them how to sense and correct the circulation of internal energy one by one. Because Li Rui also guided the first trace of internal energy, the basic internal energy practice was quickly completed. After that, Li Rui taught them carefully. If Li Rui went to the clinic for something, Qing He would teach them the basics of martial arts.
Thank you for watching. If you think it's good, please send more flowers and collect them ~ I'll work harder ~
