After leaving the conference room, Liu Siting and Hong Tao did not attend the dinner party. Instead, they took meals from the cafeteria and returned to their courtyard in Fuldan City. Since having their daughter, the couple rarely spend time together at home, so they cherish the days when they can go out for meetings and stay away from their little witch.
It doesn't mean that if you become a high-ranking person in another time and space, you can just hang around and wait to die. You must know that Zhao Xin and the others belong to the first generation of entrepreneurs, and they are the ones who have the hardest time. Many things need to be taught step by step, and if you encounter something you don’t understand, you have to light up the lamp in private and stay up all night to read books and study on your own. Even when I go back for the New Year, I have no time to spare and have to ask someone for advice.
Although Hong Tao has been responsible for the construction of the entire medical system in Beihai Town over the years, he still tries to spare two days a week for outpatient care, and many elderly people in Beihai Town are willing to see him. To this day, he is still the best general practitioner in Beihai Town, specializing in dealing with common diseases, frequently-occurring diseases and general emergencies. In addition, he is also good at orthopedic surgery and trauma surgery. After all, he has practiced it on prisoners of war over the years.
Liu Siting is still the director of the nursing department of Beihai Town Central Hospital, but she is also the principal of Beihai Town Nursing School and the vice-principal of Beihai Navy Military Nursing School. The women from the archipelago country she led ten years ago are now either directors of clinics or head nurses.
how to say? It's nice to have no colleagues who are bullshit, no outsiders who don't know what to say, no complaints from doctors, etc. It's nice, but it's also really tiring.
After the two of them had eaten, the nanny who was responsible for taking care of their lives cleared away the dishes, made them each a cup of ginseng tea, and then said goodbye to the couple and went home.
Nowadays, anyone who wants to hire a domestic servant in Beihai Town must be appointed through an organization called the "General Services Administration", and the person in charge is Wan Zao's wife. Private employment is prohibited, and any discovery will result in heavy fines. Everyone must undergo corresponding training before taking up the job. The salary is handed over to the General Services Administration by the employer and then distributed to the individual. It cannot be paid directly. In addition, it includes three meals a day and food and accommodation.
Of course, servants who travel through time do not have to spend their own money, and they need more training than ordinary people. After all, modern people have many living habits that ancient people did not have. Because the couple wanted to do some exercise next, Liu Siting asked the nanny to go home and come back tomorrow morning.
Few local residents are engaged in this business. After all, with the harvest of fifty acres of land, who has time to serve others. Therefore, most of the current servants in Beihai Town are immigrants from the customs and women from island countries who have just arrived. In the past year, many women from the Li Dynasty from the south bank of the Tumen River have been added. These people endure hardships and stand hard work, and their only purpose is to have enough to eat.
Of course, there are cases where you accidentally become a "maid partner", but in most cases this happens consensually. When something went wrong, Zhao Xin could only ask Wan Zao's wife to appease her, while he called the time traveler to give him a scolding, then brought up the contract he signed and deducted a pawn sum from the other party's annual income. Compensation or future child support for the mother and child.
"I think Zhao Xin and Lao Chen are evil."
After the ups and downs, Director Liu Da, who was cuddling with Hong Tao, suddenly said something out of nowhere.
"What's the meaning?"
"We have a meeting this afternoon. Zhao Xin has finished talking about Xinjiang." Director Liu Da then talked about the micro-expressions of the two people at the meeting, and also talked about how they went back to get their bags after the meeting.
Hong Tao was originally not interested in this kind of thing. He was a man who knew how much he weighed. Zhao Xin invited him and his wife to come here not to lead troops in a war. However, my mind was empty at the moment, and my wife's words could not help but flow to my ears.
Today, Director Liu Da is like a hungry wolf. Every time he wants to eat him from head to toe, even the bones. Hong Tao sometimes thinks that if he has one, he has to take ginseng supplements every day. How can Zhao Xin cope with four of them? No wonder he insists on exercising every day and especially likes to eat oysters and abalone.
After listening to his wife's ramble, Hong Tao said casually: "I'm telling you, don't get involved in this kind of thing in the future, and don't ask questions that shouldn't be asked."
"Who got involved? Don't you just tell me this at home?"
"Hey, I still don't understand." Hong Tao stood up and leaned on the bedside, touched a cigarette, and said, "It's different from the first few years. Boss Zhao is very ambitious."
Liu Siting made a "cut" sound, stood up, brought an ashtray and placed it on the bedside table next to Hong Tao. She also brought over the warm ginseng tea and said with disdain: "Who doesn't know that he is very ambitious? He just put it on the bedside table next to Hong Tao." The Pacific Ocean has become my own bathtub, with my head resting on the Pamirs and my feet on the Rocky Mountains."
"It's not as simple as you think. Do you think Zhao Xin is different from before? I mean"
Liu Siting interrupted: "What's the difference? I can't see him more than a few times a year now, but I can often bump into his women. By the way, I heard that Shen Xuan is pregnant again. That's strange. , that Wang Zhenyi has been following him for several years, but there has been no movement. And there is more! Yesterday at noon, the French princess ran to the hospital and secretly asked the head nurse if there was any medicine that could protect the fetus. Hahaha, I finally caught her Stop his pigtails!"
Huh? And this big melon! Hong Tao suddenly became interested and couldn't help but think about it.
But men and women have completely different concerns about such things. Liu Siting was gossiping, just sitting on the bench eating melon seeds and waiting for fun; Hong Tao thought that if Zhao Xin really had something to do with Princess Elizabeth, would he have a reason to intervene in Europe in the future? But Napoleon was about to come to power, and Zhao Xin particularly hated the British and Tsarist Russia, which was really chaotic.
The meeting progressed to the second day in a blink of an eye.
First in the morning, Hong Tao gave a report on how to popularize clinics and build a rural medical system in the newly occupied Liaodong area and after entering the customs in the future. In summary, there are insufficient training personnel and insufficient funds. The committee is required to increase allocations to establish two new medical schools in Shengjing and Dengzhou to train rural doctors. It also plans to open a hospital in Dengzhou first and in Shandong in the future. Open at least five major hospitals.
In addition, Hong Tao also proposed an ambitious plan, which is to establish a national doctor association and local branches. All traveling doctors and sitting doctors must become members of the association, establish files, and issue badges. Otherwise, they will practice medicine illegally. The membership fee was set very cheaply, almost equivalent to the 20-piece coin produced under the Qing Dynasty.
In fact, Hong Tao's idea came from the fact that it was difficult to create a real hospital in ancient China. In order to achieve his grand goal of "treating all diseases", all doctors must be organized and work together.
We must know that a hospital is an open system. If it wants to develop, it must have a normal communication platform and discourse system. Hiding everything is not conducive to the promotion of technology and experience. The problem is that Chinese medicine practitioners have always liked to work alone. The idea of "teaching the apprentice and starving the master to death" is widespread, and they always keep one hand in hand, and even each family will make mysterious names in the names of medicines.
The most typical example is "Taihe Soup". This thing sounds mysterious at first glance, but it is actually just plain boiled water that has been boiled for five minutes. It doesn’t matter if it is done one minute earlier or one minute later. Warm it up and drink it slowly to nourish the spleen and stomach. It also has the effect of relieving throat inflammation. So in the past when I was sick, I often heard people say drink more boiled water, and the source is here. They all said this later, but few people knew the specific truth.
Furthermore, after these years, Hong Tao realized that the ancient Chinese doctor-patient relationship model had no place for hospitals to survive. He had to use strong means to capture all doctors first.
It is said that a hospital must be based on a doctor-patient relationship in which doctors take the initiative and patients follow, so that continuous treatment of patients can be achieved. However, China's traditional medical treatment lacks a religious cloak, and the effectiveness of its curative effects is not protected by a theocratic coating - that is, there is no blame-taking. Therefore, doctors must be directly responsible for the patients; especially when treating dignitaries or emperors, they must be careful. Be careful and be careful. In addition, doctors’ financial resources depend entirely on consultation fees, so it has become a habit to accommodate patients.
This is also why the brilliant doctors in unofficial tales are often like wandering gods. They can read as much as they like, and then leave after watching. If you want me to accommodate you, no way!
When brothers Wu Xianrong and Wu Xianhou first came to Beihai Town, Hong Tao told them everything he could. If they didn't understand, he would have to explain it several times. He would also let them observe the operation, which surprised the two brothers. Later, after hearing Hong Tao's ideal of making all people in the world who could not afford medical treatment have curable diseases, and seeing the power of penicillin, the two brothers were shocked and came up with several secret recipes for treating lung diseases at home.
Not only the Wu brothers, Hong Tao also had a new famous doctor under his command last year. This man's name was Wang Qingren, a 27-year-old native of Yutian, Zhili Province, who was famous in the medical history of the Qing Dynasty. The reason why this person came to Beihai Town was actually attracted by dissection.
Wang Qingren studied medicine since he was a child and practiced medicine at the age of 20. In just a few years, he became famous in Yutian. However, when he consulted ancient medical books, he found that there were many ambiguities and even contradictions in the discussion of the internal organs, which made him quite distressed. He felt that if he did not understand it clearly, it would affect the diagnosis and treatment of the disease.
The winter before last year, when he was invited by a wealthy family in Qingzhou Prefecture, Shandong Province, to go for diagnosis and treatment, he overheard someone talking about a "medical clinic" in Dengzhou in Beihai Town that could revive human flesh and white bones. He immediately became interested, so he waited. After he was cured, he hired someone to take him through the mountains and ridges, bypassing the Qing army's blockade, and went to Dengzhou.
After finally arriving in Dengzhou, he met the doctor at the so-called medical center. When he expressed his thoughts, he was told that if he wanted to see anatomy, he had to go to Beihai Town, where there were special courses.
In winter, the coast of Jiaodong freezes, making it impossible to sail. We have to wait for the ice to melt in the coming spring. In desperation, Wang Qingren had to go back to settle things at home, and then came again in April of the next year. When he arrived in Beihai Town, he saw all kinds of magical equipment in the Beihai Town Central Hospital, especially after observing a human dissection. He was so shocked that he decided to stay, study with Hong Tao, and sit in the hall for consultation.
Well, let us thank the Tsarist Russian prisoners for their dedication to the great cause of Beihai Town. Not only do they contribute to the transportation construction in the outer Northeast, but those who have been away from the world due to work-related injuries and diseases are also silently making "selfless contributions" to the medical construction of Beihai Town.
The Tsarist Russian government has repeatedly raised the issue of the return of prisoners to Beihai Town. Zhao Xin's answer was simple, one pound of gold per person, no discussion for less than this amount.
I'll do it! That's 20,000 people, almost 9 tons of gold, and the old lady can't afford it even if she sells Tsarskoye Selo.
Due to the disastrous defeat of the Russian army in Siberia and the loss of a large area of territory, coupled with the monopoly of the fur trade by the Huamei Trading Company, the Jewish wine tax was also reduced by more than half. As a result, Tsarist Russia's ruble banknotes devalued so much that they could only rely on European national debts to borrow money!
In the last few years, Catherine II, who was in her dying years, devoted all her energy to suppressing the nobles in the country who were ready to invade. Ivan Jacobi, who originally proposed to invade Heilongjiang, had his land and property confiscated, deprived of his noble status, and was exiled. of Crimea.
Zhao Xin thinks that without the strategic depth of Siberia, the results of Napoleon's future expeditions may not be as good. Just thinking about it makes me feel happy!
When Hong Tao was making a report, Zhao Xin looked at the languid one, and then at Director Liu Da who was sitting next to him with tender skin that could drip water. He said to himself: "Hey! These two people must have been struggling last night. One night.”
After finally waiting for Hong Tao to finish speaking, Zhao Liang made another report on behalf of the military-industrial complex. Needless to say, this guy also proposed a plan to build a steel plant with an annual output of two million tons of ore in the northeast of Haicheng, that is, near Dagushan, Anshan in another time and space.
Zhao Xinxin said just kill me! Two million tons? I have to piece together the equipment for the Khabarovsk Steel Plant, and the oil extraction and refining equipment on Sumatra Island costs a lot of money. Furthermore, the Thor is seriously aging. The Navy has said several times that it is already choosing a new ship. These were all obtained in exchange for gold and antiques. If not for this, why would Lucci be digging for gold in North America?
Zhao Liang saw that Zhao Xin's face turned ugly, so he smiled and said: "Actually, the equipment does not cost much, and we can already build a lot of it. The key is that the funds for land acquisition, construction and labor recruitment in the early stage are slightly insufficient. In the past few months, Didn’t I get a lot of money from Heshen? I want to apply for part of it."
Ever since the news that Zhao Xin had successfully blackmailed 50 million taels of silver from He Shen spread within the committee, a group of time travel bosses had stolen the money and planned to get a share of it.
Gold is needed to purchase materials and pay everyone's salary from another time and space. The storage and use are all decided by Zhao Xin, and no one dares to care about it. But the silver is different. Nowadays, the territory is getting bigger and bigger, and the role of money is becoming more and more prominent.
Beihai Town does produce a lot of food every year, but the problem is that the consumption of military food is even greater. The Beihai Navy's stipends and wages do not need to be discovered, and are all credited to the personal account of the "Beihai Silver". However, if there are many things to do in the newly occupied areas, real money must be spent.
Xu Dayong was right when he told He Shen that Zhao Xin wanted to use money to govern Huanghuai. However, everyone feels that the Beihai Navy has not entered the customs yet, and Huang Huai is a bit far away, so the things in front of us can be touched.
Zhao Xin now understood that these guys had a premeditated plan. When he thought of the Jilin Reservoir and the Bobei Railway that had already started construction, he felt that his wallet was not safe, and he might not have much money left of the 50 million taels.
