Master Qi naturally doesn't know what Xiaotong's layout is. At this moment, he is bothered by some trivial matters.
oh?
What are they all about?
In short, there is one sentence: The sutra is a good sutra, but some monks have recited it badly.
With the continuous development of Qiongzhou's economy, some social phenomena that are contrary to the original intention of governance have gradually emerged.
The first one is about medical treatment.
Due to the continuous influx of outsiders, Qiongzhou's permanent population has exceeded the red line of five million.
The reason why it is called the red line means that this base has reached the critical point of local public services. Naturally, the demand for medical care will expand accordingly.
It is precisely because the construction of medical facilities has not kept up with the pace of population growth that some small medical hospitals have seized the opportunity to become bigger and stronger. They have directly transformed into small hospitals similar to the "Sometian" system.
Already.
Similar to its development, there is also the education system.
Since the number of schools could not meet the actual demand in a short period of time, some small private schools have sprung up everywhere in an instant.
On the surface, these seem to be normal phenomena, but in Qi Yu's view, they are due to the government's inadequate governance.
All of the above are aimed at making profit and taking advantage of the opportunity to make money. They are no different from moths in nature.
Qi Yu believes that any business is allowed to seek profit, but education and medical care are the only areas where businessmen cannot get involved.
These two items are the most basic aspects of people's livelihood. If you ignore people and take money from them, it is like acquiescing to a crime.
Therefore, this phenomenon must not be ignored.
Some people suggest that we can try to block the influx of people, so that outsiders cannot move here.
Absolutely not!
Qi Yu said that his goal is to build Qiongzhou into a super city with a population of tens of millions. If the population does not increase, how can it be achieved?
In other words, outsiders must be accommodated, and the more the better.
At the same time, the local birth rate must be strengthened.
Emperor Kangxi once said that in prosperous times, it is appropriate to breed people and never add wealth.
However, if talent is added in disguise, will the population still be able to grow?
Not very likely!
Once education and medical care become a burden on the family, adults' desire to have children will be severely reduced, and they may want to have children but dare not.
People are the primary productive force, and once they decline, it is irreversible. As a forward-looking local official, he naturally needs to be practical and foresighted.
Qi Yu first called Yu Hai and asked him to immediately increase the budget for education, invest what should be invested, and spend what money should be spent without any hesitation.
In recent years, Qiongzhou's education has made steady progress and has cultivated many elite talents. Now, it is just right to encourage them to join the school as teachers to teach the new generation.
For medical treatment, Qi Yu specially called in his niece Sun Qiaoyun.
"Sir, he is getting old and it is impossible to stay in the hospital for a long time, so it is time for you to support yourself."
"Uh, what does uncle mean?"
"I want to build several larger hospitals and invite you to be the general manager of the industry."
"ah……"
When Sun Qiaoyun heard this, he was nervous and didn't know why.
Seems a little confused.
"Uncle, why don't you let your officials be responsible for management matters?"
"In that case, wouldn't it make me an amateur leading an expert? How could I do such a stupid thing?"
If that's the case, then just agree.
Sun Qiaoyun nodded solemnly, saying that he would spare no effort.
Qi Yu smiled happily and encouraged him.
In this way, these two problems are solved.
As long as public services can keep up, it is impossible for those private institutions to develop.
The reason is very simple, when there are free resources to enjoy, who would want to spend more money?
Sun Qiaoyun was about to leave when a sudden flash occurred in his mind, and he remembered something very special.
"Tell my uncle that a secret envoy holding a dragon-carved gold medal suddenly arrived in the capital. He said he was looking for some 'special' elixir. Do you want to meet this person?"
"Emissary from the capital?"
Qi Yu murmured a few words and then asked, "I wonder what medicine he asked for?"
Sun Qiaoyun's face turned red and he said shyly: "The man said he wanted to ask for some maca produced in Qiongzhou."
Um?
What does he want this thing for?
Maca, originally produced in South America, was later brought to Qiongzhou by Fu Xian. Because of its "special" medicinal value, it was planted by Meng Lanshan.
But I never thought that this matter would actually be reported to the capital. No need to guess, it must be a secret message from the inner guards.
Qi Yu stroked his beard and said, "Please explain this in detail."
Sun Qiaoyun replied: "This envoy originally wanted to see Mr. Wenzhu, but unfortunately, Mr. Wenzhu took a train to Qiongnan for consultation, so he had to ask me for medicine. I don't know the importance of this.
, he didn’t dare to make rash decisions, so he had to make temporary arrangements. At this time, he was resting and waiting in the hotel."
"There is something weird hidden in this person, I want to meet him!" Qi Yu straightened his face and nodded.
The weird thing he said was referring to the dragon-carved gold medal in the man's hand.
If I remember correctly, this thing should be a unique token of service for the censor.
At the beginning, when I was still working as a censor for promoting weaving, I had held this object, so I have a deep memory of it.
In other words, this emissary should be appointed by the emperor.
When a person like this comes to Qiong, how can I not see him?
So, Qi Yu immediately left the provincial government office and headed towards Guanyi.
It went smoothly, and he met the person as he wished.
However, unexpectedly, the identity of that person was not a palace guard, but a new imperial doctor of the Imperial Hospital. The reason why he came here with a gold medal was mainly to act cheaply.
An imperial doctor came here to ask for medicine~~
Doesn't that mean that the emperor is sick?
If we contact Maka and look at it comprehensively, His Majesty...could it be that he is beyond his capabilities?
Guessed it!
Although the imperial doctor did not say it clearly, he still replied in a very cryptic way: 'Your Majesty indeed has some weak muscles'...
"Sir, the palace's holy medicine is far better than ours in Qiongzhou. Why did you give up the beautiful jade for the stubborn stone?"
"To be honest, Sir Qi, I came here to ask for help after I tried my best but still failed. Of course, this is also your Majesty's instruction..."
Qi Yu couldn't help but fell into deep thought after hearing this.
Treating the emperor is not an easy task.
If it is cured, you have done your duty. If it is not cured, trouble will ensue.
Therefore, Qi Yu declined politely: "The stock of maca has been exhausted, so I can't help you!"
Exhausted?
Are you a liar?
The imperial doctor smiled and said: "Mr. Qi, let me be frank with you. You have to help whether you want to help or not. Because the root cause of your majesty's illness is because of your Qi family.
.”
Shrimp bullshit!
If your Majesty's thing doesn't work, what does it have to do with my Qi family?
