Chapter 1084 Selecting a Doctor
Although she had integrated into the Great Qi, Lin Yuesha did not feel a strong sense of belonging to the Great Qi. She had thought about marrying a capable man, but she never imagined that her husband would sit in a high position.
"My wife, I was just saying it casually, but your face changed."
Qi Heng genuinely didn't care, but he had to consider Lin Yuesha's feelings. What he meant was that, to him, Lin Yuesha was more important than that position.
He only wanted to pamper his wife and give her whatever she wanted; as for what Lin Yuesha was thinking, it wouldn't happen.
Qi Heng had already coordinated everything. On the day of his coronation, he would marry Lin Yuesha with a grand procession of red bridal procession. Afterward, he would hand over the affairs of the capital to the Prince of Luo and the couple would go out to observe the people's conditions. To be precise, they would observe the people's conditions in between their sightseeing and leisure activities.
"My wife, let's do everything as we discussed before."
The Prince of Luo was acting as regent in the capital, and all the officials' attention was on him. They were urged to get married every day, which made the Prince of Luo extremely annoyed.
"Is it inappropriate for us to go out so soon after returning to Beijing?"
Lin Yuesha touched her remaining conscience and said somewhat embarrassedly.
“The south suffers from floods every year, and the court provides disaster relief year after year, but the people are still starving and displaced. Whether the disaster relief funds reach the victims or feed certain people, this matter must be resolved.”
The couple went out under the pretense of traveling incognito, and who wouldn't be impressed? After all, they were risking great danger to understand the people's plight for the sake of the common people.
"yes……"
Lin Yuesha blinked. After Qi Heng said those things, she instantly felt that her own personality had become noble.
The couple discussed that once the large ship was launched and universal healthcare was implemented, they would return to Beijing ahead of schedule.
The north is not peaceful; only by launching a surprise attack can we see the problems more clearly.
Upon hearing about the launch of the large ship, Lin Yuesha was startled and asked, "Old Man Lu is getting old, will Brother Lu go along?"
Brother Lu is experienced and familiar with the flight routes.
This is the first time the large ship has been launched, and the planned route will not be too far.
Brother Lu has psychological trauma, and he needs to be counseled before boarding the ship.
"What happened before will not happen again."
Qi Heng comforted Lin Yuesha, explaining that Old Man Lu and Brother Lu had boarded a private boat. Most of the people on board were desperate criminals who would do anything to make money. They had made preparations before boarding, so it was not surprising that something went wrong. It was just that they were unable to control the situation later.
On their first voyage, they used their own people; if any accident occurred en route, they would have to return immediately.
The advantage of this trip is that Sun Tzu will accompany him and try to use his bird to deliver messages.
After waiting a few more days, the Yingcheng government issued a proclamation announcing the selection of doctors.
Universal healthcare is being implemented rapidly in the surrounding villages. For example, Hu Mian's village has already paid its first quarter's premium.
Coincidentally, a man was injured and bleeding.
The treatment took effect the moment the money was paid, and for this reason, Doctor Xin made a special trip to Hujia Village to treat the man and stop the bleeding.
The villagers praised the government for its integrity. They had paid the money as a precaution, but the government had handled everything efficiently and resolved the issues as promised. Some even came to congratulate the injured man on recouping his losses.
The man was both amused and exasperated. He was unlucky to be injured, but also lucky to have paid the insurance premium in advance so that a doctor could come to his home to treat him.
But his real intention was not to get hurt. If possible, he was willing to pay money every year and hoped never to break even, because he didn't want to get sick.
The villagers, upon hearing this, realized that it made perfect sense.
Originally, about 10-20% of people had not paid their premiums, but after seeing the man's accidental injury, they realized that no one could avoid such a mishap, and they all paid the premiums.
Within a few days, the policy was rapidly implemented in the surrounding villages and the city of Yingcheng. The people considered it a beneficial policy and responded strongly, making it a hot topic of conversation among them.
Subsequently, Lin Yuesha announced the selection plan for doctors, which required an assessment of medical skills.
On the day of the recruitment, doctors from the surrounding area all came, all vying for the ninth-rank official position, crowding together.
The crowd of onlookers completely blocked the entrance to the clinic. The doctors hurried along, as the first requirement for selection was that they could not be late.
The selection process will begin in a quarter of an hour.
Suddenly, an old woman collapsed at the doorway.
The elderly woman's face was bluish-purple, and she was having difficulty breathing; she appeared to be in very bad shape.
Lin Yuesha and Lian Qiao were in the crowd. Originally, there was a test for the doctors, which included a step of pretending to be sick.
A doctor should have the heart of a parent. If a doctor ignores the patient in order to save time when the time is up, Lin Yuesha cannot accept such a doctor.
She set such good conditions for the selection process because she wanted to choose doctors with medical ethics who would treat the poor in the future. She didn't want to hire those snobbish people who looked down on the powerful.
Unexpectedly, before Lianqiao could even feign illness, she encountered the old lady collapsing.
"The old lady seems to be choking, as she's having difficulty breathing?"
Lian Qiao stared at the half apple in the old woman's hand, and gestured to the people around her to make way, wanting to squeeze to the front to help the person.
Just then, a doctor who had just arrived stopped, looked at the clinic's entrance, sighed, and ran towards the old woman without hesitation.
"Did you eat an apple, ma'am?"
The doctor put his medicine box aside and hurriedly asked.
"Doctor, what should I do? My mother was eating an apple when someone accidentally bumped into her, and the apple got stuck in her throat because she didn't chew it properly. She can't breathe!"
The old woman's son put his hand in her mouth, trying to make her vomit up the apple. However, after a while, his mother's complexion worsened, she became very stiff, her face and limbs turned purple, and her eyes became dull. If she didn't receive emergency treatment soon, it would be too late.
Before he could even go to the clinic for help, a doctor came by.
"Don't worry, I have a plan."
After the doctor finished speaking, he gestured for the old woman's son to help. He supported her with one hand and let her lie face down on his knees with her head down. Then he patted the old woman's back with his palm to try to remove the foreign object.
After repeated patting, the old woman spat out a mouthful of apple, and her complexion improved.
The old woman's son breathed a sigh of relief and was about to let go when the doctor stopped him, saying, "Continue. Look at the old woman's complexion; she still has a piece of apple stuck in her throat."
The doctor spoke with absolute certainty, but the old woman's son was skeptical. After the doctor continued to pat her, just as he had said, the old woman spat out another piece of apple, and her complexion continued to improve.
"Thank you so much, my benefactor!"
After about half an hour, the old woman came to her senses and knelt down with a thud.
"Auntie, you're too kind."
The doctor helped the old woman to her feet. Hearing the bell ringing at the clinic, he realized he was too late and had already lost his eligibility to be selected.
The doctor slung his medicine chest over his shoulder, silently squeezed through the crowd, and was about to leave when Lin Yuesha blocked his way.
"Young lady, what can I do for you?"
Rules are rules. No matter the reason, if someone is late, they should choose to leave.
