Farming Happiness: Husband, Come and Plough the Fields

Most people live in poverty and have little money to spare all year round.

Especially for villagers, they depend on the weather and good weather, but if there is a bad year, they will really want to eat wild vegetables and tighten their belts to live their lives.

Daqi's productivity is low. Li Haitang cannot change this. In this era, many things cannot be changed.

However, since she has the right to speak, she should do something to promote progress.

"Madam, what do you think about medical skills?"

Xiao Lingchuan frowned, he understood Li Haitang's thoughts. However, it is difficult to bring doctors together in one place to learn and communicate with each other.

Although there is harmony on the surface, only you know the inner thoughts.

Most people still have the concept of teaching apprentices to starve the master to death. If others learn their special skills, how can they reflect their own value?

Even if they are enlightened people, most people still can't accept it. So the so-called communication is just a decoration to look good, and it will be over if you deal with it.

It was thankless. Xiao Lingchuan didn't believe in people's hearts and was very dissatisfied with it. He didn't want his wife to work hard, but in the end it was useless and ineffective.

"Husband, regarding the exchange between the leaders of hundreds of families, I am just being sentimental."

Li Haitang touched her face. She thought it was wonderful, but the reality was very disappointing.

The ones who can really communicate are the gangsters. After all, they are speaking for the dead, looking for the truth, and it doesn't matter if they are stealing jobs or business. Therefore, gangsters do like to communicate. However, this is two different things from a doctor.

You can't say others are selfish. After all, it's normal to hide the knowledge passed down from your ancestors, and you can't kidnap people's morals.

The improvements Li Haitang mentioned have nothing to do with these.

"That is?"

Xiao Lingchuan was stunned for a moment, not understanding what his wife wanted to express.

"The quality of doctors today is really uneven. Some herbal collectors only know a few medicinal materials, so they can get a bell and go around to treat people."

A dabbler, some are even liars, who don’t even know the most basic pharmacology, so they just make nonsense. They can deceive people for a small amount of money, but at most they will lose money. However, there are countless people who delay the disease, use folk remedies indiscriminately, and ultimately cause tragedy.

First of all, as a doctor, you must take an assessment and obtain the qualification to practice medicine before you can take up the job.

In this way, the existence of quackery can be avoided to a large extent.

"That's true."

Xiao Lingchuan strongly agreed. The profession of doctors is very special. It would not be a bad thing if there was a strict evaluation system like the Daqi Imperial Examination.

"Husband, this is what I said. Fishing in troubled waters will no longer exist."

Wandering doctors and barefoot doctors often pay a few hundred dollars for a consultation. Some families may only have this little money left in a year. If they get sick, they will be back before liberation.

The price of medical treatment, as well as the medicinal materials, must be strictly defined.

In the border town before, Li Haitang also encountered a drug hall that deceived people.

He bullied an old farmer who had never seen the world. He wanted to buy some dried ginseng to boil for his sick wife to recuperate, but the shopkeeper just used dried radishes to fool him.

Not to mention, dried ginseng and dried radish are really similar.

I don’t know what method was used to prepare the dried radish, and the taste has been removed. If you are not an expert, you will not be able to tell.

Li Haitang happened to be passing by and caught the shopkeeper cheating.

The old farmer took out his coffin for two taels of silver and was almost deceived. The shopkeeper was so unconscionable!

He was caught by Li Haitang and sent to the official directly. But at this time, it has always left a shadow in her heart.

There is no shortage of black-hearted businessmen at any time. No one can control this. However, the medicinal materials are different. After all, they are life-saving things. A slight difference can lead to death.

Therefore, asking prices must be controlled, and unscrupulous traders cannot be allowed to adjust prices at will and raise prices on the ground.

"I'm afraid this is a bit difficult."

Xiao Lingchuan shook his head. There is a saying that goes well: there are policies from above and countermeasures from below.

Businessmen pursue profits in order to make money. They may ask for very low prices, use some bad medicinal materials to fool them, double the good medicinal materials, and conduct private transactions without any control.

"It's not difficult, husband. If a medical consultation window is opened next to the Yamen, people only need one penny to see a doctor, and then go to the Yamen to get the medicine based on the prescribed medicinal materials at a reasonable price. What do you think?"

Li Haitang thought for a long time before saying.

Rich people really can't afford the medicine, so that's okay, they can keep accounts.

Every year, there is a corvee job in the yamen. Those who owe debts can pay off their debts with work, go out to work, and do more work to repay the medical expenses.

Otherwise, those who perform corvee work should also be compensated with some money, so that those with debts can come first, so that they do not have to bear too much of a burden, and the Yamen will not suffer any losses, so it is the best of both worlds.

"For example, a yamen medical clinic hires two to three doctors. The three doctors have high medical ethics and each have their own strengths."

Some are good at pediatrics, some are good at orthopedics, and some specialize in treating bruises and hidden diseases. People can wait in line according to their needs.

However, the cost of consultation needs to be discussed.

It's too cheap, and people are afraid of lining up to see a doctor. Then the doctor will be exhausted?

However, this situation may occur in the early stage. Once everyone slowly accepts it, it will be better.

Reform is not that easy. Every change will trigger a wave of enthusiasm.

Maybe Li Haitang is overthinking it. The poor people want to break a coin in half and spend it. Even if they pay a penny for medical treatment, they think there is nothing wrong with them. They would rather buy steamed buns than queue up for a pulse check.

"Then, these doctors who come to sit in court should also be treated accordingly?"

A fixed monthly salary, otherwise, who would be willing to make selfless contributions?

"Of course, money must be given, and a generous salary."

This money is allocated from the national treasury. In fact, it doesn't cost much. The yamen can make more or less money by selling medicine. The medicine money is enough to supplement the doctor's salary.

At this point in the conversation, Li Haitang casually talked about his plans. As for how to improve it later, that was Yu Feiling's business.

Outside the cabin, it was still raining.

Li Haitang leaned in the arms of her savage husband, moved comfortably, closed his eyes and rested. The feeling of floating on the sea is not bad either.

"Madam, your idea is very good. In this way, poor people don't have to worry about not being able to afford medical treatment or medicine."

Although the price of medicinal materials cannot fundamentally solve the problem, it solves most of it. Xiao Lingchuan thought about it carefully and found that once it was implemented, the people would get huge benefits.
