"Daozhang Sun, don't worry about this. I will go to the editorial department soon and ask them to publish a notice recruiting doctors for the United Medical Center in tomorrow's "Datang Daily". I don't believe you can't recruit doctors even if you have money! Come on! The people recruited at that time will be tested by you, Daochang Sun, in person. This will not only test medical skills, but also medical ethics. Our Datang United Medical Center will definitely not recruit doctors with corrupt medical ethics and evil intentions!"
Yunshan Villa.
When Li Zexuan heard Sun Simiao say that the medical clinic was short of doctors, he smiled and said.
Sun Simiao nodded and said: "You don't need to say this, Pindao will do it. Those people with bad medical ethics will only damage the reputation of our medical clinic! But Xiaoxuan, there is a saying that Pindao must tell you in advance Please make it clear that this Datang United Medical Center cannot do that kind of evil thing of monopolizing doctors all over the world and driving up medical expenses, otherwise I will definitely not work for you there!"
The scale of Datang United Medical Center is huge. At least in this era when private medical clinics are prevalent, the scale of Datang United Medical Center is definitely considered top-notch. The larger the scale, the more doctors will be recruited. The museum will inevitably be squeezed out,
Li Zexuan said quickly: "The Taoist priest said this just because he looks down on me, Li Zexuan. Datang United Medical Center was established with the purpose of saving lives and healing the wounded and benefiting the people. Even if you don't say it, I will not do the kind of thing that raises medical fees." What an immoral thing! From now on, you will be the director of this United Medical Center, Mr. Sun. You will decide all matters, including the pricing power of medical fees! You can order as much as you want, but you can always Don't let me lose too much, the medical center is a medical center after all, not a charity like the Nuantang Foundation!"
Although Sun Simiao didn't care about the position of curator, but thinking that the curator could control the pricing power, he weighed it in his mind and finally agreed: "Okay! Pindao will accept the position of curator for the time being, and wait until later. If there is a suitable candidate, Pindao will give up his position and make way for a more talented person. As for the pricing of consultation fees, let it be based on the current average price of private medical clinics. This will not make Xiaoxuan you lose money, nor will other private medical clinics have no patients. Come to the door!"
It has to be said that Lao Sun considered the problem very carefully. He even considered the survival of the folk medical clinic. This made Li Zexuan couldn't help but admire him. This old Taoist has a true Bodhisattva's heart!
"Haha! This is the best~!"
………………………………
After coming out of Sun Simiao's place, Li Zexuan first went to the workshop and told the editorial staff to place a notice on the recruitment of doctors from the Datang United Medical Center and the recruitment notice for the Yanhuang Academy of Medicine in a prominent position in tomorrow's "Datang Daily". By the way, he went to see the progress of the workshop's technical upgrading, and then he went to the county government office in the county town.
"Magistrate He, how much did the Datang United Medical Center spend in total?"
Arriving at the county government hall, Li Zexuan found Magistrate He and asked.
He came here today to really help Sun Simiao settle the project debt.
When Magistrate He heard about this, he quickly cheered up and said, "Master Marquis, please wait a moment. I will go get the account book now~!"
Li Zexuan frowned and said: "What kind of account book should I take? Just tell me how much it is. I still can't trust you?"
Magistrate He has a good reputation as an official. He is not greedy for money or lustful. Except for lacking a little courage at critical moments, he is generally a good parent official. Li Zexuan does not believe that he has the courage to commit corruption on his head. .
"Thank you for your trust, Lord Marquis. This Tang United Medical Center has spent a total of 4,276 guan including labor wages, materials and utensils. Lord Marquis has been busy with official duties recently, and it is not appropriate for me to disturb him for this matter." Master, so those who can be owed the money on credit still owe it on credit, and those who can’t be owed on credit, the lower official used the county government’s savings to help Mr. Hou first!”
Seeing that Li Zexuan trusted him so much, Magistrate He raised his hands in flattery.
"Well! In a moment, you can ask someone to go to the housekeeper of my house to collect the money. If something like this happens again in the future, you can also go to the housekeeper directly. Craftsmen and civilians can't keep arrears like this!"
Li Zexuan nodded and said seriously.
"Yes! Mr. Hou!"
Magistrate He quickly said yes.
Li Zexuan was silent for a long time, and then suddenly said: "In the past, the taxes, money and grain collected by the county were all handed over to Chang'an Jingzhao Mansion. Now Lantian County is the fiefdom of this prince. Logically speaking, all the annual income should be given to him. It was handed over to me, but I don’t want to be a philistine who only sees money, so part of the taxes collected by Lantian County every year can be allocated by the county government."
County Magistrate He was shocked when he heard this. Aren't all the taxes of all princes and nobles' fiefs in the world owned by the landowners? How can anyone like Li Zexuan hand over tax revenue to the local county government? He subconsciously thought that Li Zexuan was testing him with money, so he quickly handed over his hand and said:
"Master Marquis, you can't do it! You absolutely can't do it! This county government office is just a place to resolve cases and redress grievances for the people. How can it be qualified to allocate the tax revenue of a county! This is ultra vires, and it is also against the rules. The lower officials will not obey orders. ~!"
Li Zexuan shook his head and said:
"Magistrate He, you are wrong! The county government in Lantian County is not only used to resolve cases and redress grievances for the people, it should also play a role in maintaining public order and seeking welfare for the people! From now on, every year's tax , the county government can have part of the allocation power to build cities and do some public projects that are beneficial to improving people's livelihood! For example, this time the Datang United Medical Center is specially used to save the lives of tens of thousands of people in Lantian County. Health services!
I can pay for the money to build the medical center myself, because the taxes collected by the county government are not much now, and the county government also spent a lot of money to build the canal some time ago! However, in the early days of opening this medical clinic, money was needed to purchase medicinal materials and recruit doctors with superb medical skills. This money must come from the county government in the future!
In addition, the reconstruction of Lantian County that I mentioned to you earlier can now begin. All roads in the county must be built into cement roads in the shortest possible time. The cement needed for road construction will be Hou will not ask the county government to collect money!
But one thing you need to remember, County Magistrate, is that when the county government collects taxes from the people and businessmen, it must be taken from the people and used for the people. It must not be used to enrich the private pockets. In the end, it will enrich the government. , poor people, if it really happens like that, I will remove you from your official position~! "
Li Zexuan's meaning is actually very simple. He just wants to give full play to the subjective initiative of the county government and increase the scope of authority of the county government so that the county government not only has the power to decide cases and prisons, but also has the obligation to use taxes, build infrastructure, and benefit the people. This It is somewhat similar to a modern local county government.
As a fiefdom owner, Li Zexuan actually doesn't want to get too involved in the management of the fiefdom's affairs. He only cares about the general direction. If the county government officials can find ways to make the people live a good life without his leadership, then Li Zexuan is Very happy to see you!
“Take it from the people, use it for the people!”
Magistrate He's eyes lit up. He had never heard of this novel statement before. For thousands of years, China's feudal dynasties collected taxes from the people to govern the country and feed the army. They just allocated some money and food during the disaster. How could Li Zexuan directly ask the county government to mobilize the taxes collected to build roads and medical centers for the people? After muttering something, Magistrate He cupped his hands and said:
"The Marquis treats the people with benevolent governance, and he will definitely gain the people's heartfelt love. It is a great honor for me to govern Lantian for the Marquis! Don't worry, the Marquis, I will conscientiously implement the Marquis' "take from the people, The governance concept of "use it for the people" will allow the people of Lantian County to live a good life!"
Li Zexuan nodded and said: "The population of Lantian County is still too small, and many lands are deserted and uncultivated. Only by implementing benevolent policies can we make it possible for more people to immigrate to Lantian. In this way, our county can Completely prosperous! In addition to the medical clinic, I also want to wait for the opportunity to launch a cooperative medical system to reduce the burden of medical treatment for the people!"
"Cooperative Medical System? Mr. Hou, what does this mean?"
Magistrate He suddenly wondered.
Li Zexuan thought for a while and replied: "As the name suggests, this cooperative medical system is a medical treatment model where one person is sick and the entire population shares the medical care! Each household only needs to pay a small amount of money to join the cooperative medical system. During the validity period, as long as he gets sick, When you see a doctor at Datang United Medical Center, you can enjoy a certain percentage of medical fees and drug fee reductions, which can greatly reduce the burden of medical treatment on the common people!"
This was the first time Magistrate He heard about this cooperative medical system. He couldn't help being surprised when he heard the words. At the same time, his mind quickly changed, and he weighed the feasibility of Li Zexuan's plan in his mind. After thinking for a long time, Magistrate He Ling opened his mouth and said:
"Master Hou, how can this person not get sick after eating mixed grains? Besides, among the people, many people still have old diseases. Treatment of these old diseases is not only time-consuming and labor-intensive, but also expensive. Ah! After all, if we charge too much money, the people's enthusiasm for joining cooperative medical care will be greatly reduced. But if we charge too little money, then the money we spend every year to fill this hole is definitely not a small amount. !”
It has to be said that County Magistrate He is also a visionary, and he can see the hidden problems in the cooperative medical model at a glance.
Li Zexuan nodded and said: "You are right, this cooperative medical system does have some shortcomings, so I did not ask you to implement it immediately, but one thing is certain, the fees charged by the county government from the people for cooperative medical care will not be high. There will be more, otherwise it will violate the original intention of this prince! As for the money lost every year, this is subsidized by the tax collected by the county government every year! Therefore, if you want to implement the cooperative medical system, the county government must We have money, which is why I wanted to establish the Department of Commerce and reform commercial taxes! Only the more money we have, the more things we can do!"
The cooperative medical system he was talking about is actually the modern rural cooperative medical system, which is somewhat similar to medical insurance. Although this thing was a bit advanced in the Tang Dynasty, Li Zexuan believed that it was very necessary when his fiefdom became financially strong. It will be implemented throughout the county.
Only then did County Magistrate He suddenly realize. He said with admiration: "Master Hou's far-sightedness and layout have greatly impressed me! Nowadays, the business in Lantian County is booming, and the merchants are becoming more and more opposed to the new commercial tax law. Sir, our opportunity to promote cooperative medical care to the people is just around the corner!"
"Well! However, although I have given the county government the power to control taxes, the county government must also prevent corruption. From now on, every account spent by the county government must be clearly recorded. I will send someone to check the accounts every three months, so you must manage the money bag for me~!"
Li Zexuan struck with some seriousness.
Magistrate He was shocked and responded quickly: "I obey the order!"
............................
The next day.
Two notices in Datang Daily attracted a lot of people's attention.
"The Datang United Medical Center in Lantian County was established, with Sun Simiao as the director. It has many experts in the apricot forest and specializes in diagnosing and treating difficult and complicated diseases for the common people. The charges are fair and the children are not bullied! Since the medical center was first established, a large number of people with superb folk medical skills have been recruited. Those with high medical ethics will always have a starting monthly salary. Those with both virtue and art will have no upper limit on salary, preferential treatment, and can receive personal guidance from Director Sun! Those who are interested, please go to Lantian on May 20th, which is three days later. Sign up at Datang United Medical Center in Yong'anfang County!"
"The Medical College of Yanhuang Academy was established. The former students of the Academy were merged into the Engineering College of Yanhuang Academy. The dean of the medical school is Sun Simiao. Among them are two doctors from the former Imperial Medical Office. They have superb medical skills and noble medical ethics. They are now recruiting aspiring doctors from all over the world. Medical students are admitted to the hospital to study medicine. They will save lives and heal the wounded and benefit the common people in the future! Anyone who is interested in medicine should register at the offices of Datang Daily in various places and come here on July 15th together with the students who applied for the Yanhuang Academy Engineering College. Yunshan takes the entrance exam! The exam content for medical school students will be announced in two days!"
The two announcements, one about Datang United Medical Center and the other about the enrollment notice of Yanhuang Academy Medical College, aroused great repercussions among the people. People couldn't help but gather together in small groups after dinner. There was a lot of discussion!
"Datang United Medical Center? Is Dr. Sun the director? Then this medical center is amazing. If you get sick in the future, you must go there!"
"That's necessary! Divine Doctor Sun's medical skills are known all over the world. With him here, how can there be diseases that cannot be cured?"
"I just don't know how the consultation fees are collected. Look, the salaries offered to doctors by Datang United Medical Center are so high!"
"Hey! According to me, the medical fee will definitely not be too high. You must know that the director of this United Medical Center is Dr. Sun, and the founder is Yong'an Hou. Both of them are like gods. How can they make such an ignorant profit? Black money with a conscience? Just rest assured!"
"Yes, yes! With Divine Doctor Sun and Marquis Yong'an, this United Medical Center will definitely not harm our people! It's just that this medical center is in Lantian County, not Chang'an City! It's a bit inconvenient to run around!"
"Tsk tsk! I want to go to the United Medical Center for the salary offered to doctors!"
"Bah! You short-sighted guy, do you understand that this salary is secondary? The most important thing is that I went to the United Medical Center and had the opportunity to ask Dr. Sun for medical advice. No amount of money can buy this back! "
"Dashun is right! Being able to learn medical skills from Divine Doctor Sun is something that many people can't dream of. It's a pity that no one in our family knows medical skills!"
"It doesn't matter if no one knows medical skills! Didn't you see what it said in the newspaper? The medical school of Yanhuang Academy is recruiting students. Let your eldest child take the exam. If you pass the exam, you will not only go to Yanhuang Academy to study, but also get the title of Divine Doctor Sun. Give me personal guidance!”
"Hey! Why didn't I think of that! I'm going to ask my eldest child to sign up. That kid has always wanted to be a doctor!"
"Yes, yes! I also want my second son to go to Yanhuang Academy Medical School!"
