My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare! Chapter 478 - 328: Tempting with Benefits2
The strategist said, "But this requires a large amount of silver...
This matter is not a charitable dical consultation that can be done just by saying it.
Not only does the initial preparation require a large amount of silver, but the subsequent investnt 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 dical College in her own na, and the Ministry of Revenue only allocated ten thousand taels. If we apply for funds for the sa 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!"
Monts 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 dical College. If she can raise funds, we can raise funds too. If she can invite dical 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 ti.
This was indeed a huge investnt, but the rewards would also be significant.
From the speed at which his sixth sister raised funds, it was clear that those in the dical 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 dical 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 dical Halls and raised one thousand taels..."
King An was stunned upon hearing this. Twenty dical 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 montarily stunned and angrily said, "One thousand taels, why don't they just rob instead!"
Monts 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 dical 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 dical professionals so willing to support her with both money and personnel?
Golden Pill Hall.
Among the Five Great Dynasties, Zhao Country's dical community was the most prosperous, and the capital was filled with dical 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 consu 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 treatnt cost at Golden Pill Hall was higher than other dical Halls for the sa ailnt.
The chief physician of Golden Pill Hall was a dical professional in the Fourth Realm. At this mont, inside the dical 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 co 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 sothing important to discuss with Doctor Jiang..."
At this mont, 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 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 co from nowhere, and if you don't get up, I will call for help..."
Doctor Sun thought for a mont and said, "How about we erect a tablet at the entrance of the dical College with your na on it, will that be alright?"
The elderly man nad Jiang pondered for a mont and then agreed, "Three thousand taels, but no more than that."
Establishing the dical College might not benefit his sect, but it was a good thing for the entire dical 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 na engraved on the stone tablet at the entrance of the dical College so that passersby and younger dical professionals could see it would be quite an honorable thing.
For that honor, he could provide another one thousand taels.
Doctor Sun continued, "The dical 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 ti. You better ask soone else..."
He had no interest at all in teaching at the dical 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 dical book, would you like your na 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 dical professionals to have their nas mutually listed on dical books.
Golden Pill Hall had countless pill recipes, and contributing a few insignificant ones was no big deal.
