Doctor Player Chapter 398
But the situation had already happened.
Even the people of the Peninsula Kingdom were satisfied!
“Wow! The light of the saint of poverty continues to us!”
“Long live His Highness Raymond! Long live His Highness Rashid!”
The people cheered with joy, needless to say. Even if Raymond became emperor, they thought he would still be by their side.
The nobles who supported Raymond were equally satisfied.
In fact, when Raymond announced that he would become emperor, the nobles who supported him inevitably felt uneasy.
I was afraid that I would end up floating in the air.
However, this did not change much from before.
Rashid just became the successor to Raymond’s will, but they are still united under Raymond.
Everyone was very satisfied with it.
‘No, why did this happen?’
Raymond swallowed a tear.
I don’t know why the world is so difficult.
Nothing was going as intended.
‘At this rate, it doesn’t make much sense to give up the throne… … isn’t it?’
Raymond narrowed his eyes.
When I thought about it, I thought it wasn’t so bad.
‘Yes, this turned out to be very advantageous to me, right?’
I hated being entangled in the throne, so I felt a sense of rejection, but after thinking about it, I didn’t think it was a bad thing.
The reason Raymond refused the throne was because he was tired of what he had to do as a king.
It wasn’t that I hated power.
However, in this case, many troublesome tasks are handed over to Rashid, and the power remains the same!
As I thought before, the best trade is the law of the trade with power.
Because if you have power on your back, you can make a lot of money.
So Raymond decided to ‘abuse’ his power in earnest.
‘I’ve worked hard so far, so I deserve this! Let it go. I’ll show you what it’s like to make money with power on your back.’
Abusing power, he first allocated the medical budget.
No additional funding was allocated to the Penin Center for Treatment.
‘Because I’ve already received some support. Above all, if I receive too much support, I will not be able to make the profits of the Pennin Treatment Center my own.’
When the subsidy from the state becomes too large, the Pennin Treatment Center becomes the state’s, not Raymond’s.
It will become a public good.
That’s not right.
Because Raymond is greedy.
So, as before, he decided to raise the money needed to run the treatment center himself.
So, how will the treatment budget be appropriated?
‘I can give it to the poor poor patients.’
Raymond grinned wickedly.
So far, there have been many cases where Penin Hospital has been forced to treat poor patients who do not have medical expenses while seeing a deficit.
But Raymond, while in power, allocated the budget for treatment and welfare to such poor people!
So that even the poor can receive treatment without worrying about money!
‘This will drastically reduce the deficit of the Penin Center!’
Raymond called for joy.
Upon hearing the news, the poor shed tears of emotion, unaware of Raymond’s dark heart (?).
“Ah, saint of poverty! Another light for us… … !”
“thank you! thank you!”
Even Raymond didn’t stop there.
‘We have to help people get out of poverty.’
It was also dark.
‘Because the commoners will be able to extort money only when they have room.’
Currently, the Pennin Healing Center’s profit structure is a method of preserving the loss from the poor by extorting money from some rich people.
Of course, there was a limit and it was repeatedly losing money.
Of course, if hair loss treatment and anti-wrinkle drugs are distributed, they can make a lot of money, but the pennin treatment center, which has to make profits by seeing patients, will not be able to escape the mire of deficit in the future.
So I had to come up with a way to make money as a pennin treatment center.
‘I need to improve my constitution.’
There was only one way to do that.
Not only the wealthy aristocrats, but also the common people had to make profits.
However, it was unreasonable to extort enough money from ordinary people to make a profit.
One reason.
because they were poor
It was a structural problem, so I hadn’t been able to solve it until now, but now the situation has changed.
Because Raymond became a ‘powerful man’.
Again, he decided to abuse his power.
“Rashid, will you try these policies?”
“older brother?”
Rashid opened his eyes wide upon hearing Raymond’s story.
In the Peninsula Kingdom, there were several chronic diseases that had been going on for a long time.
These were policies to improve those endemic ills!
If these policies are implemented, people’s lives will be much better.
‘Of course, the gap between rich and poor will not be resolved with just these few policies.’
Everyone is happy with no one starving.
That is impossible in the first place.
Also, if you approach it prematurely with excessive ideals, it will only have the opposite effect. The opposition from the existing vested interests will be enormous.
What Raymond wants right now is for the lives of his people to improve even a little.
Because the people’s happiness was Raymond’s happiness.
‘Because the more the people get full, the more surplus customers at the Penin Treatment Center will increase.’
Raymond smiled contemptuously.
I said it with that heart.
“In the future, Rashid, when you become king, there is something I want you to do throughout your life.”
through a lifetime.
Rashid was nervous at those words.
Raymond gave Rashid a sense of duty as a king.
“Your brother! Just speak.”
“What do you think is the biggest problem in Peninsula Kingdom?”
“that… … Aren’t the people poor?”
It was an ironic story.
The Peninsula Kingdom is the richest country.
However, the people were poorer than other countries.
“Yes, even though the Peninsula Kingdom is a rich country, the people are even poorer. Because all the wealth is concentrated in some rich people and nobles.”
“then?”
Rashid’s eyes widened.
He understood what Raymond was trying to say.
“Brother wants me to be a king for the people.”
Raymond nodded.
The problems of the Peninsula Kingdom were actually not easy to solve.
It’s not something I approached hastily.
It was not something that could be solved in a short time.
So, the ruler had to work harder.
“I want you to work hard for the people throughout your life as a king.”
Of course it won’t be easy.
If the king-to-be Rashid works for the people.
Then people’s lives will be better than now.
‘… … Then the situation at the Penin Center will improve accordingly.’
He hid such feelings and spoke solemnly.
“I trust you. Could you do that for me?”
Rashid was deeply impressed by Raymond’s words and lowered his head.
‘iced coffee. also… … older brother. My older brother’s intentions are so deep, how can he only think of the people?’
sometimes… … No, in fact, Rashid often felt that Raymond was not human.
Raymond really was like an angel who came down from heaven for his people.
“All right! I will do my best for the people of Rashid for the rest of my life in accordance with my brother’s will! I will do my best to reduce the number of poor people even by one!”
Thus, King Rashid, who would strive for the people throughout his life, was born.
Raymond nodded happily.
‘good. The more Rashid works, the more the Pennin Treatment Center’s profit will increase.’
Of course I know.
It would take a long time for these efforts to return to the benefits of the Penin Treatment Center.
But Raymond is going to be the richest man on the continent.
decided to look far.
‘Because there are many ways to make money even if it’s not a pennin treatment center anymore. For now, let’s sweep the money with free trade rights.’
Tariff benefits with the Free Cities Association!
Raymond entered into contracts with trade aristocrats in earnest.
It was a contract to receive customs benefits through Raymond and share some of the benefits, just like Marquis Rodrigo had done before.
But the nobles said something they couldn’t understand.
“I am delighted to be able to contribute to the work of the Great Light.”
“yes?”
“I know you are trying to serve the people with the benefits you gained from the tariff benefits.”
“… … .”
Raymond kept his mouth shut.
‘It’s not? Why such an illusion?’
All money earned through tariff benefits will be spent selfishly.
why?
‘Because this is my money!’
I’ve already made plans.
First of all, I made reservations at the finest beef restaurant every day.
And we will expand the equipment of Penin Treatment Center, which could not be implemented due to lack of money.
‘Huh. I’ll change everything to the highest quality. I have to hire a large number of high-ranking enchanters, Meisters.’
Of course, Raymond is also greedy for equipment.
However, because there is no money, when implementing medical equipment, it is always cost-effective and implemented cheaply.
Since I have money this time, I will try it coolly.
‘I’m making money on this taste!’
There were many other places to spend money besides that.
Raymond thought of a way to spend the money next.
‘Let’s expand the vaccine business.’
It was a thought that could be considered surprising.
This is because, until now, Raymond has considered the vaccine business as a lunatic business that doesn’t make money.
In fact, the vaccine business did not make much money.
This is because the profits from each vaccine were meager.
‘But this also changes when the scale of the business grows.’
What if we scaled up the vaccine business to the entire Crusader Empire and to the Free Cities Confederation?
Then the story changes.
Even if the benefits you can get from each vaccine are pennies, if you collect pennies on a continental level, it becomes an enormous amount of money.
‘So let’s expand the factory with the money we earned this time. To the extent that the entire Free Cities Federation of the Crusader Federation Empire can carry out a vaccine project.’
If we expand the factory on a large scale and start supplying vaccines on a continental level, the vaccine business will also become a goose that lays golden eggs.
‘There are other things to spend money besides these.’
Raymond thought with a grin.
Now, after making a fortune, Raymond was feeling a lot of extravagance.
‘I have to pay for Penin’s shop as well.’
store.
It’s a slang term for a small councilor in the modern world.
It is not to have branches of Penin Treatment Center only in the capitals of each country like now, but to open branches of Penin Treatment Center in all parts of the country like a spider’s web.
Then, those who could not come to Penin Treatment Center due to distance problems can benefit from medical treatment.
‘The number of patients I can see will explode, so I’ll be able to earn more money.’
Raymond smiled.
There were many other things to be extravagant about.
‘I should also establish a medical school.’
