Chapter 1041 Procurement 1

"Besides studying medicine, military doctors also have to learn arithmetic."

Zheng Wanru understood. If one only had medical skills but lacked expertise in procurement, it would be difficult to compete with the current procurement staff for this job.

Fang Nanzhi had studied mathematics since childhood, which enabled her to do this.

But military doctors and imperial physicians probably wouldn't be able to do it.

“You need to know arithmetic, but you don’t have to do everything yourself.” Fang Nanzhi blinked: “You can hire an accountant.”

These are all things that happened a long time ago.

Right now, whether Fang Nanzhi can do her job well is the key to whether the military doctor will be qualified to seize power in the future.

Fang Nanzhi used to work at a pharmacy and knew the purchase price of most herbs. The price that Vice General Yang offered was truly a loss-making venture.

She was a little embarrassed.

If we disregard the methods used, this matter is not difficult to accomplish. However, if the Imperial Medical Academy is to use this as a reference in the future, then how she communicates with the pharmacy is very important.

Zheng Wanru hesitated for a moment.

"Actually, this is something that can be planned."

Fang Nanzhi looked at her with sparkling eyes.

Zheng Wanru couldn't help but chuckle: "Your thinking is limited by the idea that the pharmacy will suffer a loss. What if they wouldn't suffer a loss?"

"If the matter of military doctors is really accomplished, the amount of commonly used and wartime medicinal herbs needed in each army will certainly be considerable."

Fang Nanzhi understood immediately.

She slapped her forehead. Yes, she had been confused.

Supplying medicine to the military is a huge business opportunity, and I believe there are many people who want to seize it.

Not only pharmacies and pharmaceutical companies will also come to us.

At that point, the pricing will be much easier to negotiate.

Of course, to secure their exclusive supply at a low price, additional benefits must be offered.

"What do you think of a spot to study with a military doctor?"

Fang Nanzhi stroked her chin.

The future military doctors will be personally trained by the imperial physicians, who are the top-notch doctors.

What doctor in the world wouldn't be tempted?

"That's possible, but you can't make that decision alone."

Zheng Wanru said with a smile.

"This is not a long-term solution. Military medical training also has a time limit, so their willingness to make concessions is probably only a matter of one or two years."

Although she did not have the right to manage the household after she got married, she did manage her own dowry shop.

Zheng Wanru knew that in an exchange of benefits, she couldn't let the other party suffer too much loss.

"If we're really talking about the future, perhaps a portion of the military farms could be set aside for growing medicinal herbs?"

Although it cannot be directly self-sufficient, it can reduce some of the burden of buying herbs.

The two of them veered off-topic again.

Fang Nanzhi finally had a direction and decided to treat the owners of various pharmacies to dinner tonight.

There were actually only two pharmacies. Manager Li and Manager Kong received the invitation and dared not neglect it.

"I heard that Physician Zhou's disciple has been in the military camp since arriving at the border?"

Manager Li stroked his beard.

His son nodded: "I heard she's very young, I wonder how good her medical skills are."

Manager Li glanced at him.

"Of course he's exceptional; he's the only disciple under Master Zhou."

"But this time, I wonder what brings Dr. Fang's post to us?"

Qin Yan returned to the post station and heard that his sister was hosting a banquet that evening.

"I'll go with you."

Fang Nanzhi shook her head: "No need, brother, I can manage on my own."

"Oh, do you know who the Le family's herbal medicine supplier used to be?"

Qin Yan's eyes shone brightly.

During this time, he didn't waste his time in the army; he became familiar with people from all levels.

This includes military procurement.

Fang Nanzhi was taken aback, only then realizing that she had overlooked this matter.

"Brother, do they have any pharmaceutical companies they cooperate with?"
