Rise of the 1630s South America

Chapter 1828 Baoding Area ([-])

In the early morning of November 1680, 11, Goivan, who was just waking up from a hangover, rubbed his still swollen head and slowly walked out of the door of the room.In the yard covered with grass and flowers, his father Goshkin was eating breakfast contentedly.He just came back from a stroll outside, he was in high spirits, humming Russian folk songs, and the table was full of food.

"I just went to the river port pier once, and I enjoyed it for two hours next to the Taoist temple in the greenery. I enjoyed it very much. A few decades ago, it was full of forests, swamps and hills. But now when there are prosperous villages, markets and towns around you, you will have a sense of vitality. Row upon row of houses on the hillside, the white stone Taoist temple with the verdant green as the background, and the dense forest full of darkness The magnificent mountain scenery is so unforgettable." Goshkin stuffed a piece of salted fish into his mouth and said enthusiastically.

This is a hotel somewhere in the middle of the second-class national road between Pingan County and Baode County. Geographically speaking, it already belongs to New Dundee Township of Baode County. Goshkin and his son lived here with three or five entourages. .Of course, the aforementioned Dr. Shao Yuanyi from Xihu County and his two assistants also lived here. They came here to do publicity and guidance on health and disease control. Subsidies such as carriage and horse fare can be regarded as a good errand.

"Look at how rich the villages here are, and it's certainly not possible for the pastors to farm livestock alone. There are stone or brick houses everywhere, often two-story, with more than five windows, and some outer walls It is an astonishing discovery that there are some decorations or carvings on it. Well, if the houses of the village or township government were not so big and heavy, the architecture of the whole country would be rich and colorful. There is no doubt that this is urban architecture. In the Russian lands, only places close to Moscow can have such a beautiful countryside." Goshkin continued, his tone full of disdain for Russia.He is now a native of the East Coast and has made a fortune here, so he is naturally qualified to do so.And even the ordinary laborers under him who didn't make much money in the past are mostly full of contempt for everything in Russia, as if otherwise it would not be able to prove the correctness of their escape from that hell.

"Hehe, this is an industrial area with a well-developed handicraft industry. Even women can earn three or four rubles a month. Father, look at the coachman who sent us here. He is also dressed more elegantly than Rose, and looks richer. You know, coachmen can be well-paid craftsmen in Ross, but they are more ordinary on the east coast, but even so, the coachmen on the east coast are more willing to spend a lot of money and like to wear high-end clothes, women I also like to wear long dresses." Goivan staggered over and sat on a chair next to him. Seeing this, a Polish waiter in the hotel immediately stepped forward to add a set of tableware for him, and then stood with his head down. When he got to the side, he seemed to dislike 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 purchases." The cost of meat, vegetables, fruit, wine. Well, this bread is so-so, I bet it was baked by East Coasters, not Poles."

"Ahem, please pay attention, Ivan, my child, you are also from the east coast." Goshkin put down the chopsticks in his hand, reminded his son, and then changed the topic to something else: "Yesterday Shao How about what the doctor talked about, what do you think, tell me."

"Is it about investing in the Mucaoling Meat Factory? To be honest, father, I think this is a good business and worth a try." Goywan has obviously thought about this matter carefully, so this will only listen to him Said: "There are rich hills to raise cattle near the Mucaoling Meat Factory. The breed and technology originated from the Jutland Peninsula of Denmark. After decades of improvement, we have accumulated a certain reputation and reputation in many places in China. Customers are more upscale than the cheap La Plata bison, so it is worth investing in. Mr. 20% (referring to East Coast Company) also holds shares in it, which explains everything. The other most important point is that pasture The shares of the Ridge Meat Products Factory are relatively scattered, and many people hold the shares. If we also hold 20% of the shares, then our position in the board of directors will not be too low in the future, and we don’t have to worry too much about being deceived.”

"Very well, I am very pleased that you have this opinion. But many times, things are not that simple, and many factors determine the effect. Of course, I am not talking about this matter. This is a good deal. Dr. Shao is I need money, I wish you what you want, fair trade, what I want to say is that you have to understand this truth, do you understand?" Goshkin dundu taught.

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

"Very well, then you will be in charge of 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 still can't leave here, and I still have to visit Some people, and those winery owner buildings, roads, and bridges, I will also be watching, you have to be careful."

……

While Goshkin and his son were discussing the matter of investing in the Mucaoling Meat Products Factory, Shao Yuanyi, who was nearly sixty years old, was also sitting in a quiet hotel room, with two entourages, and sat alone at the table to sort out the materials. .The materials are various documents related to the application for the establishment of a hospital. Because he wanted to apply for the establishment before the end of this year, Shao Yuanyi also brought the materials with him. He planned to take the train and ship to the capital Dongfang County immediately after finishing his busy work in Baoding and Jiangbei areas. , Apply to the Ministry of Health, and hope to get the official approval in January.

And here I have to remind you that due to the particularity of the pharmaceutical industry, the East Coast Republic of China has not yet fully liberalized this industry. If private capital wants to open a hospital or a pharmaceutical factory, it still has to apply according to the procedure. Among them, the pharmaceutical factory It may be relatively simple—but it’s only relative. The main purpose is to encourage doctors from the East not to be self-absorbed, and to boldly "show" various herbal prescriptions. If they are really effective, the state will come forward to protect their patents and ensure that its personal interests.

However, the supervision of the hospital is stricter. The minister of the Ministry of Health has to sign and approve it in person. It is better than Marshal Mo. He and his wife opened the Nantie Maternity and Children's Hospital back then, and they followed the procedures step by step.Therefore, if Shao Yuanyi wanted to open an institution called Linhu Hospital, he had to go to many departments, stamp a lot of stamps, and finally get the Minister of Health to sign it, which shows the strict censorship—of course, some people criticized this censorship system as a Artificially setting the threshold is to compete with the people for profit, but no one will pay attention to their words, and the members of the executive committee are still very stable.

The hospital run by Shao Yuanyi is not very large, but it almost emptied his family.For this reason, not only the income from working as a rural lender for many years and the special expert of the Ministry of Health was thrown in, but also the shares of Nantie Company and Mucaoling Meat Products Factory were sold. In addition, he borrowed 1 yuan from the United Industrial Credit Bank through his old relationship. cash.

But even so, the money is still a little insufficient, so he had to go around the capital to recruit investment, but talking about what he got, those rich second generations didn't value his business very much, and only made a mere 8000 yuan Yuan's investment meaning.However, the second generation that Shao Yuanyi knew didn't like it, but the Dong'an Company, which was managed by the second generation he didn't know, took a fancy to it. It directly invested in the shares, accounting for 20% of the shares, which is also miraculous.

In this way, the funds to start a hospital are almost the same, and there is even a certain reserve to deal with emergencies.Before coming to Baoding area, Shao Yuanyi's three children engaged in the medical industry had been contacting old contacts, recruiting manpower, hoarding medicines 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 plans to open are definitely in line with the current mainstream in the east coast. Although the scope of business is strictly limited to non-communicable diseases in order to reduce the possibility of patient complaints, it is still very advanced. , at least several of its attending doctors are old friends Shao Yuanyi has known for many years, and they are also partners of this hospital.

Still, even that might not be enough.According to the regulations drawn up by Shao Yuanyi, in the future, he and these old doctors will carry out clinical teaching on the spot in the ward. This is a pioneering move in the old continent, but it is very common in the east coast, because The major state-run hospitals have done this for a long time, and the effect is not bad, and many talents have been trained.

As a Ministry of Health official commented: "Some similar cases were very illuminating. They were selected and processed in the hospital wards and then supervised by one of the main doctors in the hospital. The students followed him on daily rounds , Record the real-time condition of each patient and the prescription prescribed. After a period of time, students are required to introduce these cases in class, track and explain the progressive changes of the disease, and also explain the method of treatment. This requires students It is very important that we mainly inquire and study the teacher's treatment report, which can bring valuable experience to students, which is worth a thousand dollars."

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

"...Today we observed the amputation of the leg above the knee performed by Dr. Wang, and his horoscope ligation is very dexterous."

"...I saw Dr. Liu's prescriptions for patients, a total of 36 cases, and gained a lot."

"...Dr. Lin performed three operations, one on the tumor of the leg, one on the arm, and one on the mandibular joint, all went well."

"...Although Ping An Memorial Hospital has not yet officially opened for commercial operation, it has already admitted patients on a small scale. The inguinal hernia operation on October 10 was the most beautiful and neat operation I have ever seen, and it was performed by Dean Qi himself. "

These records not only show the progress of medical technology on the east coast and people's trust in the hospital's surgical technology (otherwise they would not come for surgery), but also in fact prove that clinical examination and ward teaching in the east coast are indeed quite It is common, and does produce very good results, and is accepted by most medical professionals.

Another thing worthy of special mention is that on the East Coast, which is made of a blank sheet of paper, surgical operations that break through the tradition and seem to challenge the bottom line of people's acceptance are becoming more and more accepted, and the status of surgery is also increasing day by day.However, in China and Europe at this time, there were very few surgical operations, and there were also occasional amputations, which were called "the barber's craft" or "the carpenter's skill". The country where the book "Anatomy" (published orally by a Ming Dynasty official) is truly unique.You know, at this time, the Italian autopsy still needs to be secretive, otherwise the church will definitely come to make trouble, and this is not talking about scientific research.

Of course, compared with physicians, the status of surgeons at this time is somewhat inferior.The reason may be that the surgeon's tools are more scary. After all, knives, soldering irons, saws, and pliers really look the same as butchers, giving people a great sense of fright.However, as surgeons were able to deal with more and more ailments, such as extracting teeth, treating paronychia, dressing wounds, cleaning leg ulcers, sewing fistulas, prescribing venereal diseases, removing bladder stones, removing breast tumors, etc., they His status and respect are constantly rising, and sooner or later he will get rid of all kinds of ignorant prejudices and become a person respected by the vast majority of people.

The Linhu Hospital that Shao Yuanyi intends to establish also has several veteran surgeons, all of whom have been gradually trained by the East Coast Republic in the past 50 years, and their skills are not bad.If it weren't for Shao Yuanyi's great face and Lu Ziye, these people have already trained many students above the level, and the hospitals may not be willing to let them go. After all, surgical talents on the east coast are extremely scarce nowadays.

These doctors, with their assistants and equipment complete, can deal with quite a lot of ailments.In addition, there are simple disinfection measures nowadays, and there is also an anesthetic such as diethyl ether (I heard that the chemistry department is still researching a more inhalable anesthetic called chloroform), so it is basically already Conditions are met to open for business.

And this is actually the reason why Shao Yuanyi went to the Ministry of Health to apply for a license. After all, more and more people on the east coast are rich, and more and more people are willing to spend money to solve their illnesses.The market among them is actually very broad, so opening a hospital is definitely profitable, and at the same time, the social status is also high, and you can gain the gratitude and respect of many people. It is simply killing birds with one stone. How can we not open it!
