My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 478 - 328: Tempting with Benefits_2

The strategist said, "But this requires a large amount of silver...

This matter is not a charitable medical consultation that can be done just by saying it.

Not only does the initial preparation require a large amount of silver, but the subsequent investment is an unimaginable number.

It's not even feasible for a King An's Mansion, let alone relying on the financial power of the National Treasury, it will be difficult to sustain.

He added, "The Sixth Princess established a Medical College in her own name, and the Ministry of Revenue only allocated ten thousand taels. If we apply for funds for the same reason, the Ministry might not grant it. The silver she raised later was from her own efforts...

He was very clear about the financial situation of King An's Mansion.

During the past half year of the power struggle for the throne, the mansion was nearly emptied of resources.

King An gritted his teeth and said, "I will figure out the money issue!"

Moments later, in an underground treasury at King An's Mansion.

King An looked at the precious jewelry and the ancient paintings and calligraphy he had collected over thirty years. Although his heart ached as if being stabbed, he still said, "Sell all these things, and use the money to establish our own Medical College. If she can raise funds, we can raise funds too. If she can invite medical families to teach, we can also invite them to teach..."

After the treasury was emptied, King An returned to his bedchamber and leaned back in his chair, unable to recover for a long time.

This was indeed a huge investment, but the rewards would also be significant.

From the speed at which his sixth sister raised funds, it was clear that those in the medical community were quite supportive of this cause.

As a prince, if he personally raised the funds, he would definitely gather more than his sixth sister. Maybe he could even alleviate the financial pressure on the mansion...

Thinking this, he felt a bit better.

Half a day later, the person responsible for fundraising and recruiting teachers for the Medical College returned.

King An impatiently stood up and asked, "How did it go, how much silver did you collect?"

The person's lips moved, and he said, "I visited twenty Medical Halls and raised one thousand taels..."

King An was stunned upon hearing this. Twenty Medical Halls and only one thousand taels, an average of fifty taels each, as if they were treating him like a beggar?

He further inquired, "What about hiring them as teachers?"

The person sighed and said, "They said they could give lectures, but the monthly salary would be one thousand taels..."

King An was momentarily stunned and angrily said, "One thousand taels, why don't they just rob instead!"

Moments later, he slowly sat back in his chair, feeling completely drained.

Why could his sixth sister easily raise one hundred thousand taels and have Third Realm and Fourth Realm medical professionals willing to teach for free at her college, but he couldn't even gather silver or invite them to teach without such a high cost?

What did she do to make these medical professionals so willing to support her with both money and personnel?

Golden Pill Hall.

Among the Five Great Dynasties, Zhao Country's medical community was the most prosperous, and the capital was filled with Medical Halls.

The Golden Pill Hall, established by the Golden Pill Sect in the capital, specialized in refining pills that did not require decocting herbs, making them easy to consume and highly effective. Thus, they were very popular among the nobles of Zhao Country.

Of course, due to the higher cost of refining pills, the treatment cost at Golden Pill Hall was higher than other Medical Halls for the same ailment.

The chief physician of Golden Pill Hall was a medical professional in the Fourth Realm. At this moment, inside the medical hall, several people were waiting in line for his consultation. After waiting for quite a while without seeing him, they started discussing among themselves.

"It's been a quarter of an hour, why hasn't Doctor Jiang come out yet?"

"I just saw him go upstairs with another elderly man."

"That elderly man is Doctor Sun from Huichun Hall, also a physician in the Fourth Realm. Perhaps he has something important to discuss with Doctor Jiang..."

At this moment, on the third floor of Golden Pill Hall.

Doctor Sun sat on the ground, holding the leg of another elderly man, and said, "Ten thousand taels! With our years of friendship, if you don't give me ten thousand taels today, I won't leave!"

The elderly man whose leg was being held looked helpless and said, "Two thousand taels. The money for Golden Pill Hall doesn't come from nowhere, and if you don't get up, I will call for help..."

Doctor Sun thought for a moment and said, "How about we erect a tablet at the entrance of the Medical College with your name on it, will that be alright?"

The elderly man named Jiang pondered for a moment and then agreed, "Three thousand taels, but no more than that."

Establishing the Medical College might not benefit his sect, but it was a good thing for the entire medical community.

Therefore, he was willing to donate one thousand taels.

Given his decades-long friendship with Doctor Sun, he could add another one thousand taels.

Considering the influence of the court, having his name engraved on the stone tablet at the entrance of the Medical College so that passersby and younger medical professionals could see it would be quite an honorable thing.

For that honor, he could provide another one thousand taels.

Doctor Sun continued, "The Medical College is newly established and requires a batch of experienced teachers..."

Doctor Jiang knew what he was getting at and waved his hand, saying, "I don't have the time. You better ask someone else..."

He had no interest at all in teaching at the Medical College.

Upon hearing this, Doctor Sun did not persist.

He stood up, dusted off his clothes, and took out a beautifully packaged booklet from his pocket, saying, "By the way, we plan to compile a medical book, would you like your name to be on it? You just need to contribute a few pill recipes symbolically."

Doctor Jiang replied indifferently, "Do as you please."

It was common for medical professionals to have their names mutually listed on medical books.

Golden Pill Hall had countless pill recipes, and contributing a few insignificant ones was no big deal.
