Li Yujie quickly handed over the two red work permits in his hand, and County Magistrate Jin's pupils shrank.
Because the job titles on the work ID are more scary than each other.
County Magistrate Jin's expression was uncertain. After a while, he immediately suppressed his emotions and showed an exaggerated smile on his face.
"So it's Commissioner Lin! Oh, Commissioner Lin is coming to Andu County for an inspection. Why didn't you notify us earlier? Look at what a misunderstanding this has caused."
"Lin Sanqi... this name looks familiar... Is he the director of the Capital Infectious Diseases Hospital who invented the anti-tuberculosis drug?"
In fact, Lin Sanqi is still the head of the newly established Bao'an Special Zone. He will resign from the post of deputy commissioner of Fushan after the new year, otherwise the world will be in chaos.
There is no such precedent, so who will lead whom then?
Therefore, the higher authorities simply temporarily established the Bao'an Special Zone, which still covered an area of more than 1,000 square kilometers of the original Bao'an County.
Nominally, it is under the jurisdiction of Dongguan Province, but in fact, Baoan Special Zone is directly responsible to the capital.
However, due to various special reasons, the Bao'an Special Economic Zone does not promote itself and is not seen in domestic newspapers at all. In theory, it still appears under the name of Bao'an County.
Therefore, Lin Sanqi's position is not public.
Of course, this was also something Lin Sanqi had planned in advance, because the wind was about to blow, and he wanted to hide Bao'an County as much as possible to avoid being targeted.
It also leaves a little spark for this disaster-stricken country.
When Lin Sanqi heard County Magistrate Jin's question, he smiled and replied:
"Yes, I'm the director of the Capital Infectious Disease Hospital. Now, County Magistrate Jin, do you believe me?"
County Magistrate Jin rubbed his hands excitedly and said:
"I believe it, I believe it. There's no need to verify it, haha. By the way, Commissioner Lin, why are you coming to Andu County this time?..."
Lin Sanqi originally wanted to come secretly to see the real situation of primary medical care, but now he thought that it would be more convenient if there was local cooperation, so he said:
"The main reason is that there is a new policy this time, which will implement the rural doctor system throughout the country. That is, every village must have a village clinic, and if conditions permit, every commune must have a health center.
Currently, Dongguang and Xiguang provinces have become my responsibility areas, and they will be the first pilot areas in the country to carry out this barefoot doctor program. Coincidentally, several of my subordinates are from Andu County, so I want to use Andu County as a pilot area within the pilot area.
When County Magistrate Jin heard this, his brows furrowed.
"Commissioner Lin, are you saying that every village should be equipped with a doctor? This, this, seems unrealistic."
Lin Sanqi also wanted to know what the grassroots cadres were thinking, so the two of them sat down at the dining table.
"County Magistrate Jin, why do you think it's impossible to have a doctor in every village? Tell me your thoughts."
County Magistrate Jin organized his words before speaking:
"Commissioner Lin, I don't know about other places, but as for Andu County, we are poor, very poor. First of all, we have no money. Not only the government has no money, but the people have no money either."
As you can see, our county town is in a state of disrepair. It still has the same architecture and layout as the late Qing Dynasty. For example, our county government compound is still the landlord's house from before liberation. We are unable to build a new office building because we are poor.
So you plan to build a new hospital in every village and every commune. Where will the funds come from?
We can do some calculations. There are now 5 district offices and 25 communes in the county. As for villages, even if we don't count natural villages, there are 210 in the county based on the current production brigades.
I’m not entirely sure how much it costs to build a village clinic or a commune clinic, but I’m going to calculate based on the basic cost of 1,000 yuan for a clinic and 10,000 yuan for a clinic. So, it takes…”
Li Yujie said from the side: "460,000."
"Yes, 460,000 yuan, but Commissioner Lin, do you know how much our Andu County's annual fiscal revenue is? It's only 40,000 yuan. Does that mean our county will have to spend 11 years of revenue to implement this barefoot doctor policy?
If all industrial and agricultural projects in the county were stopped, and grassroots cadres' salaries were not paid, and all the money was used to build this village clinic, it would not be realistic and would not gain the support of grassroots cadres.
County Mayor Jin’s core idea is that if a policy is supported only by grassroots workers, it will not succeed because no one will do it.
When Lin Sanqi heard the reason, he felt relieved.
If it is a matter of money, he is already prepared, and this big problem has been solved. It seems that it is really difficult to get local governments to pay.
County Magistrate Jin didn't know what Lin Sanqi was thinking, so he continued:
"Besides money, there are also people. I am dissatisfied with Commissioner Lin. We have only one county hospital in Andu County now, and most of the doctors are Chinese medicine practitioners or Yao medicine practitioners, also known as local doctors.
All graduates from medical universities stayed in the provincial capital or major cities, while those from technical secondary schools who graduated from provincial medical schools almost all joined regional hospitals and stayed in the city.
As for places like our Andu County, these regular college and technical school students cannot be assigned.
Commissioner Lin, think about it, even our county hospital doesn't have a regular doctor, and now you're planning to require every commune and every village to have a doctor stationed there. That's absolutely impossible. Where are we going to get the doctors?"
Lin Sanqi had also thought about this. Barefoot doctors did not need "regular troops". Anyone who could read in the village could serve.
Therefore, the problem in the eyes of County Magistrate Jin was not a difficult problem for Lin Sanqi.
Lin Sanqi is more concerned about one issue: are there many patients, or do the patients have money to spend in the hospital?
Don’t build a village clinic but find no patients, otherwise the investment will be wasted.
But people are always born, grow old, get sick and die. If patients don’t go to the clinic when they are sick, the only explanation is that they don’t have money and dare not go to the hospital.
The whole country is poor now, especially in rural areas where there is no rich person. Places like Jinhua Huayuan Village, Teji District Huaide Village, and Jiangyin Huaqi Village do not exist.
Very average poverty.
The reason why Lin Sanqi chose Andu County, a poor county in a poor area, was to see if the people had the money to go to the clinic.
If the people in Andu County, a national-level poverty-stricken county, dare to take money to go to the health center, then other parts of the country don't have to worry at all. There is no place poorer than here.
"County Magistrate Jin, since I'm planning to use Andu County, or the Guangdong and Guangxi regions, as a pilot, I'm definitely bringing money and policies. If your local government has to handle everything, then what's the point of our Ministry of Health, right?"
County Mayor Jin agreed that this was a pilot project, so there must be preferential policies.
The first batch of pilots will definitely benefit.
After figuring out this, County Magistrate Jin chuckled:
“If the higher authorities are prepared to cover the basic expenses of the village clinics and send doctors down, our county will firmly support them.”
Lin Sanqi thought, "What the hell are you dreaming of? How many doctors are there in the whole country now? If one county takes up hundreds of quotas, the health systems in other areas will be paralyzed."
"By the way, Minister Jin, how is the current revenue of your county hospital? Or is there a lot of patients?"
County Magistrate Jin had a plan in mind at this time, so he stood up happily:
"Commissioner Lin, the county hospital is not far from the guesthouse. Let's go over and take a look."
Lin Sanqi nodded, and seeing that everyone had almost finished eating, he also stood up.
"Let's go and take a look together."
Wang Ji and Liu Zhanqi immediately signaled with their eyes, and several bodyguards quickly left the cafeteria.
After leaving the county guesthouse, Lin Sanqi set foot on the cobblestone road of the only street in the county.
Although the county town is small, it has everything, including schools, supply and marketing cooperatives, cinemas, etc.
What surprised Lin Sanqi the most was that there were many people wearing ethnic minority costumes selling vegetables on both sides of the stone road, either a few bunches of green vegetables, or a few fish, and you could also see people selling piglets.
Lin Sanqi thought to himself, "How dare the people in Andu County openly do business on the streets? Aren't they afraid of being killed?"
The key point is that County Magistrate Jin, who was standing next to him, turned a blind eye after seeing it, as if he was used to it.
Lin Sanqi couldn't help but ask:
"County Magistrate Jin, you guys are allowing business here? Are you using the old social system?" (End of this chapter)
