The first rebel of the Tang Dynasty

Fang Xuanling's eyes widened. There was already a beeping busy tone on the phone. The hollow and mechanical voice seemed to be mocking his helpless situation. Li Min's decisive hanging up caught him off guard. His hand holding the phone trembled slightly, and he had mixed feelings in his heart. He didn't know what to do for a moment. He couldn't imagine that Li Min, who had worked hard together and had a deep love for each other, would choose to stand aside at this critical moment.

Shengtang Group, once a giant in the business world, has now fallen to the point where even Li Min can't help.

Fang Xuanling couldn't help but lament that the world has changed and Shengtang Group is no longer the powerful and powerful crocodile. He clearly remembered how prosperous the Shengtang Group was back then. The capital chain was as surging as a river, and it could handle both large projects and small investments with ease.

Now, however, everything has changed. He knew that all this was because the capital chain of Shengtang Group had undergone earth-shaking changes. The once abundant cash flow is now like a dry river bed, with no more water flowing out. All funds are invested in technological research and development. It is like a big gamble. If you win the bet, you will rise again. If you lose the bet, you will collapse. Now, it is clear that there is no more funds to support other major projects.

In fact, the essence of the problem is that the free medical care package is too big, so big that even giants like Shengtang Group cannot easily afford it. Even Li Min, who has always been known for his decisiveness, did not dare to take over this hot potato hastily.

It's not that Shengtang Group can't take it, but it's not necessary to take it. After taking it, it will be of no benefit to Shengtang Group.

The good reputation will then be given to the emperor.

What did Shengtang Group get?

Get plenty of things to do.

And free things will only encourage some bad habits. In the end, the intention is good but the result is bad.

Maybe this is human nature.

Unless it is an extremely utopian era, but that era is still too far away. With that kind of money, Shengtang Group might as well invest more money in technology to change life in the future?

However, Fang Xuanling was burning with anxiety. He knew how important this matter was to Li Shimin. He seemed to have seen Li Shimin's disappointed and angry eyes, which were like a knife, piercing deeply into his heart. But now, he was helpless, unable to convince Li Min, and there was no other way to solve this problem.

Just as he fell into the abyss of despair, a name suddenly flashed in his mind - Lu Zhaolin. He might be able to figure this out. So, as if Fang Xuanling had grasped the last straw, she decided to immediately go to Lu Zhaolin to discuss it. Now, he can only place his hope on Lu Zhaolin.

The root of the problem still lies with Li Min.

Lu Zhaolin, a key figure, could talk to Li Min about free medical care on his behalf.

Maybe this will do.

If Lu Zhaolin can't do it, then there really is no other way.

When he thought of this, his feet moved faster.

It must come true this time, otherwise, my dream will be gone.

As she hurried back to Lu Zhaolin's house, Fang Xuanling felt uneasy in her heart, hopping like a little rabbit in her arms. He knew that this was his last hope. If Lu Zhaolin could not solve this problem, then Li Shimin would definitely blame him, and his future, his reputation, and everything about him would be in vain.

Now, he was very unhappy. Li Shimin's blame and disappointment were like a heavy mountain, weighing him down and making him breathless. He lived a depressed life every day, with nowhere to express his anguish.

The waiting process is long, every second feels like a year. But Fang Xuanling firmly believes that as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he cannot give up. He prayed silently, hoping that things would turn around and that Lu Zhaolin could bring him good news.

So, he quickly arrived at Lu Zhaolin's home. When he arrived at his destination, Lu Zhaolin was busy packing his things and preparing for the marriage proposal tomorrow. There was a happy smile on his face, as if he had seen a bright future.

Lu Zhaolin looked up and saw Fang Xuanling standing at the door with a slightly anxious look on his face, still holding the old mobile phone in his hand. A trace of doubt flashed in Lu Zhaolin's heart, why is he here again? And from the looks of it, it seemed like there was something urgent.

But he did not reveal his doubts. Instead, he quickly walked up to him and asked with a smile: "Wei Guogong, are you..." Before he finished speaking, he noticed something was wrong with Fang Xuanling's face. , it seems that there is something unspeakable.

Fang Xuanling looked at Lu Zhaolin and couldn't help feeling a little emotional. Although this young man is not old, he is smart and well-mannered. He is a rare talent. He took a deep breath, tried to calm himself down, and then spoke slowly: "Lu Zhaolin, do you still remember what I told you about free medical care before?"

Lu Zhaolin nodded, with a serious look on his face, "Of course I remember, Wei Guogong. You said that you want to promote free medical care so that more people can afford it. You also said that Shengtang Group must be involved. It’s Datang’s good fortune.”

"That's right!" Fang Xuanling nodded and continued, "But now... alas!" He sighed, with a look of helplessness on his face, "My husband came to see me just now, and he didn't agree with my free medical care. I I know that he is a visionary, and he must have his reasons. But...but this matter is too important to me, and I can't just give up. So I want to convince him through you, what do you think?"

Lu Zhaolin frowned after hearing this, obviously feeling that the matter was difficult. He pondered for a moment, then raised his head and looked at Fang Xuanling, "Wei Guogong, I understand your difficulties. But sir... he has his own considerations and plans. Although I can help you pass on the message, I don't know if I can convince him. have no idea."

Fang Xuanling looked at Lu Zhaolin's sincere eyes. He didn't lie to himself. Li Min was really hard to convince.

But no matter what, Lu Zhaolin in front of him is still very impressive.

But this matter was so difficult that even he himself was not sure he could convince Li Min. He sighed, "Lu Zhaolin, I understand what you mean. This matter is indeed difficult to handle, but...but I really don't want to give up just like that."

He suffered a failure just now, and now he only hopes that Lu Zhaolin can help him.

Lu Zhaolin looked at Fang Xuanling's firm eyes and couldn't help but feel touched.

He knew that the Duke of Wei was a kind and righteous man who would do anything for the welfare of the people. He took a deep breath and said, "Don't worry, Mr. Wei Guo! I will try my best to help you convey the message. But...but you must also be mentally prepared, if sir, he still doesn't agree..." "I understand!" Fang Xuanling interrupted Lu Zhaolin, "As long as you are willing to help me talk about it. As for the outcome... Oh! Just leave it to fate!"

Lu Zhaolin looked at Fang Xuanling's somewhat forlorn back, and couldn't help but feel a little sad in his heart. He knew how important this matter was to the Duke of Wei, but he was powerless. He could only hope that Li Min could change his mind and let the Duke of Wei's wish come true.

At this moment, he suddenly remembered something, "Wei Guogong, please wait!" He walked quickly to Fang Xuanling, "You just asked me if I have your husband's number and phone number?" He explained with a smile. , "Yes, the husband asked me to contact him when I have time, but I haven't had time. I have been cleaning up the house just now. I wanted to wait until I got married before going to see the husband, so I didn't tell anyone." He took out his mobile phone. , "I'll call sir right now."

Fang Xuanling couldn't help but feel surprised when she looked at the mobile phone in Lu Zhaolin's hand. He didn't expect that Li Min would walk in front of him and give Lu Zhaolin his cell phone.

And why did Li Min let Lu Zhaolin contact him when he was free? It can be seen that Li Min's attitude towards Lu Zhaolin seems to value him very much.

Lu Zhaolin didn't know what Fang Xuanling was thinking. He just dialed Li Min's phone number intently. The call was quickly connected and Li Min's familiar voice came: "Hello? Is this Lu Zhaolin?"

"It's me, sir!" Lu Zhaolin replied respectfully, with a hint of nervousness and expectation in his voice, "There is something I want to discuss with you..."

Li Min frowned slightly on the other end of the phone. He could feel Lu Zhaolin's seriousness and seriousness, which made him a little curious and pay attention to the next topic. "Lu Zhaolin, you say it, I'm listening." His voice was calm and gentle. Calm, with an unquestionable majesty.

Lu Zhaolin took a deep breath and tried to calm down, "Sir, I heard what Duke Wei Guo said about free medical care." He spoke slowly, speaking each word clearly and forcefully.

When Li Min heard it, it turned out to be Fang Xuanling. His heart moved, Fang Xuanling must be nearby. But he didn't ask directly. He just said lightly: "What do you think? Tell me. I'm listening."

"Yes, sir, I may be a little immature in expressing my opinion." Lu Zhaolin said again, with a hint of humility and caution in his voice. He knows his opinion may be questioned or contradicted, but he decides to speak out because he believes it is right.

"It's okay, just say it!" There was a hint of encouragement and support in Li Min's voice. He knew that Lu Zhaolin was a talented and thoughtful person, and he wanted to hear his opinion.

"Yes!" Lu Zhaolin agreed. He paused, seeming to collect his thoughts. Then he began his statement.

His voice was smooth and strong, as if every word had been carefully thought out. He elaborated on the benefits of universal free medical care, from reducing family financial burdens, improving access to medical services, promoting social equity and justice, preventing excessive medical treatment and medical corruption in hospitals, to improving the doctor-patient relationship. His tone was firm and confident, as if he had already seen the wonderful scene after the implementation of universal free medical care.

He said: "Universal free medical care is an important social welfare policy that allows everyone to obtain necessary medical services without financial pressure. This will not only improve the health of the entire population, but also promote social equity and stability. At the same time, it can also prevent excessive medical care and medical corruption in hospitals and protect the rights and interests of patients. More importantly, universal free medical care can improve the doctor-patient relationship and make the relationship between doctors and patients more harmonious."

His words were full of expectations and longing for free medical care for all. He believes this is the right direction and a goal worth striving for. He hopes that Li Min can support this policy so that more people can benefit.

Li Min listened quietly to Lu Zhaolin's statement without interrupting him. He could feel Lu Zhaolin's enthusiasm and determination, and he could also understand his expectations and longings. He knows that universal free medical care is a complex and sensitive issue that requires consideration of many factors. But he also believes that this is a direction worth exploring and working towards.

After Lu Zhaolin finished speaking, Li Min was silent for a while. He was thinking about Lu Zhaolin's words, and also thinking about his future and choices. He knew that his decision would affect the fate and future of many people. But he also knows that he cannot make a decision easily and needs to carefully consider all factors.

Finally, Li Min took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "Lu Zhaolin, what you just said was very good. The benefits of universal free medical care are indeed very attractive. But before that, I want to ask you a question. "

Lu Zhaolin replied respectfully: "Sir, please speak."

Li Min pondered for a moment and said in a serious tone: "Have you ever thought about what problems may arise once universal free medical care is implemented?"

Lu Zhaolin was stunned, not expecting Li Min to ask such a question. He was thinking quickly in his mind, but he couldn't come up with an answer.

Seeing this, Li Min continued: "First of all, the quality of medical services may decline. Because the income of medical institutions no longer depends on the quality and quantity of services, medical staff may lack the motivation to provide high-quality services."

Lu Zhaolin was shocked when he heard this. He had only considered the benefits of free medical care before, but not this.

Li Min continued: "Secondly, free medical care may lead to a waste of medical resources. Since medical services have high demand elasticity and high price sensitivity, once it is free, people may overuse medical resources."

The more Lu Zhaolin listened, the more he felt it made sense and couldn't help but nod in agreement. He realized that he hadn't thought about the problem fully enough before.

Li Min paused and then added: "In addition, financial pressure is also an issue that cannot be ignored. Universal free medical care requires heavy investment from the government, which may increase financial pressure and even lead to fiscal deficits."

When Lu Zhaolin heard this, he couldn't help but frowned. He realized that the problem was indeed serious and needed to be considered carefully.

Li Min finally said: "Another problem is that the waiting time may increase. Due to the surge in the number of patients, hospitals may be overcrowded, resulting in people in real need not being able to receive timely treatment."

Lu Zhaolin was silent for a moment, feeling a little heavy in his heart. He did not expect that universal free medical care would have so many drawbacks.

Seeing this, Fang Xuanling gently patted Lu Zhaolin's shoulder to express comfort. He knew that Lu Zhaolin was disappointed, but at the same time he also understood that what Li Min said made sense.

Lu Zhaolin raised his head, looked at Li Min and said, "What you said is absolutely true. I have only seen the benefits of universal free medical care before, but ignored these issues. It seems that we really need to consider it carefully before implementing it."

Li Min smiled and nodded: "Yes, you can see both sides of the problem, which is a good quality. When considering policies, we need to comprehensively weigh the pros and cons, and we cannot only see the good side and ignore the potential problems. .”
