In the early morning of November 28, 1680, Goivan, who had woken up from a hangover, slowly walked out of the door of his room, rubbing his still somewhat swollen head. In the courtyard covered with herbs and flowers, his father, Goshkin, was enjoying his breakfast. He had just returned from a stroll around the outside in high spirits, humming Russian ballads in his mouth, and his table was full of food.

"I just went to the river port pier, right next to the Taoist temple nestled in the greenery, and I enjoyed it for two hours. A few decades ago it was full of forests, swamps and hills, but now you feel alive when you are surrounded by thriving villages, bazaars and towns. The houses lining the hillside, the white stone Taoist temple with the verdant backdrop, and the magnificent mountain scenery covered with black pressed forests are all unforgettable. Goshkin stuffed a piece of salted fish meat into his mouth and said with great interest.

This is a hotel on the way between Ping'an County and Baode County, which belongs to New Dundee Township, Baode County, where Goshkin and his son live with three or five retinues. Of course, Dr. Shao Yuanyi and his two assistants from Xihu County, who mentioned earlier, also live here, and they are here to do health and disease control propaganda and guidance, with funds from the Ministry of Health, and some subsidies such as transportation and horse expenses will be provided by the local government, which is considered a good errand.

"You see how rich the villages are that you can't do with the pastoralists alone. Everywhere there are stone or brick houses, often two-storey, with more than five windows, and some of the facades with some decoration or carving, which is a truly astonishing find. Well, if the houses of the village or township government were not so thick and bulky, the buildings of the whole village would be colorful. There is no doubt that these are houses of urban architecture, and in the Rus' Lands there is only one place close to Moscow where there is such a beautiful countryside. Goshkin continued, his tone full of disdain for Russia. He's an East Coaster now, and he's made a fortune here, so he's naturally qualified to do so. And even the ordinary laborers under his command who did not make much money would have been for the most part full of contempt for everything Russian, as if they could not justify their escape from that hell.

"Hehe, this is an industrial area, the handicraft industry is developed, and even a woman can earn three or four rubles a month. Father, you see, the coachman who brought us here is also dressed more elaborately than Rose's, and is a little more affluent in appearance. You know, the coachman can earn a lot of money in Rus, but in the East Coast it is more ordinary, but even so, the coachmen on the East Coast are more willing to spend lavishly, like to wear high-end clothes, and women also like to wear long dresses. Goivan staggered over and sat down on a chair next to him, and a Polish waiter at the hotel saw this, and immediately stepped forward to buy him a pair of cutlery, and then stood aside with his head bowed, as if he was a little disgusted with the two Russians.

Goiwan gave him a strange look, then shook his head and continued: "Baode County doesn't actually produce much cattle and sheep, but the people here often eat meat and are physically strong, because they have enough money to pay for the purchase of meat, vegetables, fruits, and wine. Well, this bread is so-good, and I'm willing to bet it's the East Coasters, not the Poles. ”

"Ahem, please note, Ivan, my child, you are also from the East Coast." Goshkin put down the chopsticks in his hand, reminded his son, and then shifted the topic to something else: "How was what Dr. Shao talked about yesterday, what do you think, tell me." ”

"Is it about taking a stake in the Mucaoling Meat Products Factory? Honestly, Dad, I think it's a good business and worth trying. Goivan had obviously thought about it carefully, so he would have heard him say: "There is a rich source of hill-bred cattle near the Pasture Ridge Meat Products Factory, breeds and technologies from Jutland in Denmark, after decades of improvement, and now have accumulated a certain reputation and customers in many parts of the country, and they are more upscale than cheap La Plata bison, so it is still worth the investment, and Mr. 20% (referring to the East Coast Company) also has a stake in it. Another important point is that the shareholding of Mucaoling Meat Products Factory is relatively dispersed, many people hold shares, if we also invest 20% of the shares, then the future position in the board of directors will not be too low, do not worry too much about being deceived. ”

"Very well, I am glad that you have this opinion. But a lot of times, things are not so simple, it is determined by many factors, of course I am not talking about this matter, this is a good deal, Dr. Shao is in need of money, you and I are willing, fair trade, what I want to say is that you have to understand this truth, understand? Goshkinton taught.

"I see, father." Goivan looked at his father's face and nodded.

"Very good, then you will be responsible for this matter, you follow Dr. Shao back to Xihu County to sign the equity transfer agreement, and I will arrange the funds." Goshkin said: "I can't leave here, I still have to visit some people, and I also have to keep an eye on the projects of the main winery's buildings, roads and bridges, you have to be careful." ”

……

And while Goshkin and his son were talking about taking a stake in the Mucaoling Meat Products Factory, Shao Yuanyi, who was nearly 60 years old, was also sitting in a quiet hotel room, separated two entourages, and sat alone at the table to sort out the materials. The information is all kinds of documents related to the application for the opening of the hospital, because he wants to apply for it before the end of this year, so Shao Yuanyi also took the information with him, and planned to take the train and ship to the capital Dongfang County immediately after the busy work in Baoding and Jiangbei areas, and apply to the Ministry of Health for processing, hoping to officially get the approval in January.

And here I have to remind that because of the particularity of the pharmaceutical industry, the East Coast Republic of China has not yet fully opened up this industry, if private capital wants to open a hospital or pharmaceutical factory, it still has to apply according to the procedure, among which the pharmaceutical factory may be relatively simple but only relative, mainly to encourage Langzhong from the East not to cherish himself, boldly "dry" a variety of herbal formulas, if it is indeed effective, the state comes forward to protect its patents, to ensure its personal interests.

However, the supervision of the hospital is relatively strict, and the Minister of Health must personally sign and agree to it, which is as strong as Mo Dashuai, who opened the Nantie Women's and Children's Hospital with his wife, and also followed the procedure step by step. Therefore, if Shao Yuanyi wants to open an institution called Linhu Hospital, he has to run a lot of departments, stamp a lot of seals, and finally be signed by the Minister of Health.

The scale of the hospital opened by Shao Yuanyi is not very large, but it has almost emptied his family. For this reason, not only did he earn money from his years as a rural lender and a special expert appointed by the Ministry of Health, but he also sold his shares in the Southern Railway Company and the Mucaoling Meat Products Factory, and in addition, he borrowed 10,000 yuan in cash from the United Industrial Credit Bank through his old connections.

But Rao is so, the money is still a little insufficient, so he has to go to the capital to invest everywhere, but what he has gotten is to talk about it, those rich second generations don't pay much attention to his business, and only engage in an investment of 8,000 yuan. However, the second generation that Shao Yuanyi knew couldn't look down on, but the East Coast Company, which was managed by the second generation he didn't know, took a fancy to it, and directly invested in the shares, accounting for 20% of the shares, which was also magical.

In this way, the funds for opening a hospital are almost the same, and there is even a certain amount of reserves to deal with emergencies. Before coming to Baoding, Shao Yuanyi's three children who are engaged in the medical industry were already in contact with the old relationship, recruiting manpower, and hoarding drugs and equipment, in order to get things done as soon as possible.

It is worth mentioning that the concept and technology of the hospital that Shao Yuanyi is going to open are definitely closely following the mainstream of the East Coast, although the business scope is strictly limited to non-communicable diseases in order to reduce the possibility of patient complaints, but it is also very advanced, at least several of its attending doctors are old friends Shao Yuanyi has made over the years, and they are also partners in this hospital, and their respective technologies are invested in shares to enrich the strength of the hospital.

Even that may not be enough, though. According to the regulations drawn up by Shao Yuanyi, in the future, he and these old doctors will also carry out clinical teaching on the spot in the ward, which is a groundbreaking move in the old mainland, but it is very common on the east coast, because the major state-run hospitals have already done this, and the effect is not bad, and many talents have been trained.

As one Ministry of Health official commented: "Some similar cases are instructive. These cases are selected and processed in the hospital wards, which are then supervised by one of the hospital's leading physicians. The students accompanied him on daily rounds and recorded the real-time condition of each patient and the prescriptions they prescribed. After a while, students are asked to present the cases in class, track and explain the progression of the disease, and also explain how to treat them. This kind of behavior that requires students to mainly inquire and study the teacher's treatment report is very important and can bring valuable experience to the student, which is worth a thousand dollars. ”

The students also welcomed this method of teaching, as the students of the Capital Medical College wrote in their notes:

“…… Today we observed Dr. Wang's amputation of the leg above the knee, and his figure-of-eight ligation was very dexterous. ”

“…… After reading the prescriptions prescribed by Dr. Liu for patients, there were a total of 36 cases, and I gained a lot. ”

“…… Dr. Lin performed three surgeries, one on the leg, one on the arm, and one on the mandibular joint, and it went very well. ”

“…… Although Ping An Memorial Hospital is not yet officially commercially operational, it has already admitted patients on a small scale. The inguinal hernia surgery on October 2nd was the most beautiful and neat surgery I have ever seen, and it was performed by Dean Qi himself. ”

These records illustrate the advancement of medical technology on the East Coast and the trust people have in the surgical technology of the hospital (otherwise they would not have come to perform surgery), but also in fact prove that clinical examination and ward teaching are indeed quite common in the East Coast today, and indeed have very good results, and are accepted by the majority of medical staff.

It is also worth mentioning that on the East Coast, a painting made of a blank sheet of paper, surgical procedures that break with tradition and seem to challenge people's bottom line are becoming more and more acceptable, and the status of surgery is increasing day by day. However, in China and Europe at this time, surgical procedures were scarce, and there were relatively accidental amputations, which were called "barber's craft" or "carpenter's skill", and there was really no country like the East Coast that openly dissected corpses and published the book "Anatomy" (which was dictated by a Ming dynasty servant). You know, at this time, the leading Italian autopsy needs to be concealed, otherwise the church will definitely come to the door to find trouble, and what kind of scientific research is there to talk about.

Of course, compared to the internist, the position of the surgeon at this time is still somewhat inferior. The reason for this may be that the surgeon's tools are more scary, after all, knives, soldering irons, saws, and pliers do look no different from butchers, giving people a great sense of fright. However, as surgeons are able to deal with more and more ailments, such as tooth extraction, paronychia, wound dressing, leg ulcers, fistula repairs, venereal diseases, bladder stones, breast tumors, etc., their status and respect are also rising, and sooner or later they will get rid of all kinds of ignorant prejudices and become people respected by the vast majority of people.

The Linhu Hospital that Shao Yuanyi plans to establish also has several veterans of surgeons, all of whom have been gradually trained in the East Coast Republic in the past 50 years, and their skills are not bad. If it weren't for Shao Yuanyi's big face and Lu Ziye, these people would have trained a lot of students above the level, and the hospitals might not be willing to release them, after all, surgical talents on the east coast are extremely scarce today.

These doctors, with complete assistants and complete equipment, can deal with a lot of pain. In addition, there are now simple disinfection measures, and there is also a hemp*drunk agent called ether*ether (I heard that the chemical department is still working on a more inhalable numb*drunk agent called chloro*form), so it is basically ready to open for business.

And this, in fact, is also the confidence of Shao Yuanyi to apply for a permit from the Ministry of Health, after all, there are more and more people on the east coast who have money, and there are more and more people who are willing to spend money to solve their illness. The market is actually very broad, so it is absolutely profitable to open a hospital, and at the same time, the social status is also very high, and you can gain the gratitude and respect of many people.
