The great hero of the Silk Road, starting from a farm farmer

Chapter 237 Establishing counties and county-level special zones!
Government-supervised and private-run is the implementation method for setting up maternal and child health care stations under Yungu rule. Except for the school-run Yungu Maternal and Child Health Care Hospital in Taoyang City, all maternal and child health care stations in other towns and villages are subsidized by the town government, and midwives are obtained from the local area. The license holder formed it himself.

The main purpose of doing this is to save funds, reduce the number of public employees, and save financial support expenses.At the same time, the maternal and child health hospital is a medical institution after all, and it is profitable in itself. If it is run by the government, it will involve financial problems and may lead to bad debts.In this era, it is difficult to standardize medical charges.

According to the construction standards for township maternal and child health care stations set by the Administration Department, serious health care stations require fixed business premises, and the town office usually finds a way to solve this problem.The venue needs a spacious, bright and professional delivery room with basic sanitary and disinfection conditions.And there must be more than three professionals, including at least one licensed midwife, and within two years, there must be a professional gynecologist licensed as a pharmacist.

Hou Zhang is the only Wenpo in Huichuan Town who has obtained a midwife license, and she is also the only one among the two who has obtained a second-level midwife license, so she will naturally be welcomed by the mayor of Huichuan Town.People also hope that Hou Zhang can use his professional skills to improve the fertility safety rate under the rule.

"Sister Wu, does your Xiaoyan have any idea of ​​finding a way to make a living? The town wants me to set up a midwifery station. I see that your girl Xiaoyan is very clever, so I want to accept her as an apprentice to help me at the station. What do you think of learning a craft by the way?" Next, she ran errands at the town's maternal and child health care station. As soon as Hou Zhang returned home, she asked her neighbor who had taken care of two babies for her, thinking of recruiting her girl as an apprentice. Give headcount to maternal and child health centers.

It is true that her daughter is too young, otherwise Hou Zhang would definitely not want to hire an outsider.There is no one available at home, but the neighbor's family is pretty good. In line with the principle that the wealth should not go to other people's fields, the neighbor's girl is naturally the first choice to accept a disciple.

"Is it okay for my aunt from the Hou family, a daughter of Xiaoyan's family, to do a job of delivering babies? I'm afraid she will be criticized and she won't be able to marry her in the future." Mrs. Hou Zhang's kindness did not Completely understood by neighbors.The profession of being a stable mother is so special that neighbors are afraid of having a bad impact on the reputation of their own dolls.

"Oh! We can't look down on our business like before. Look at my license. Just this license. I can get ten silver dollars from a government official without doing any work for a year! It's worth the average salary. The income of the village chief has been paid. Your Xiaoyan will follow me for two or three years and guarantee that she will receive at least six silver coins. With the card, she will have a steady flow of money every year, and she will also become an official official. , Who dares to talk nonsense? In the words of Mr. Yungu, the performance of our midwives is related to the important matters of childbirth and childbirth, and we are doing errands for God. Only ignorant villains will look down upon us."

When participating in the compilation of midwives' ethics regulations, Mrs. Hou Zhang heard someone tell Song Yingkui's words of help in building their professional confidence.I have a new understanding of the meaning of my profession. To put it bluntly, I have been brainwashed.Faced with her neighbor's hesitation, Ms. Hou Zhang tried her best to persuade her to change her mind.

"Her aunt and Xiaoyan learn crafts from you, will they really be able to get money from the government office in the future?" The neighbor didn't pay much attention to other words Hou Zhang said, but when he heard that he might be able to get money from the Yamen every year? After the government received the money, they immediately became interested.As ordinary people, they have always paid money to the government. If they can receive money from the government every year, how can they not become people who eat from the government?Although six silver dollars a year is not much, it is official money that can be received every year. For a girl, it is good enough.

"How can there be any lie? I was taken by the Yamen to live in Taoyang City for more than three months with free food. When I came here, I took six silver coins. How can I do such a good thing if I am not a member of the official family? Wu Sister, you have to be careful, whether your Xiaoyan can enter the official family depends on your word."

The neighbor Wu finally agreed to let her daughter work as a midwife apprentice with Hou Zhang. The conditions Hou Zhang gave were three years of study, food and housing, and an annual subsidy of four silver dollars to the Wu family.In addition to recruiting girls from the Wu family as apprentices, Mrs. Hou Zhang also recruited Mrs. Bai, who had gone to Taoyang City with her before, and Mrs. Zhao, a medicine woman who prepared medicines for women in the town, as partners. Huichuan Town The stall at the Maternal and Child Health Station was set up like this.

……

"Uncle, the registered population under our rule has now exceeded 23, and the area we govern is not small. According to this trend, it should not be a problem to increase the number of 3 to [-] people every year in the future. If we continue to use the local system of only towns and villages The administrative structure is somewhat stretched. For this reason, I am planning to reopen the county administration under the administrative office of the City Lord's Mansion. For the time being, Taoyang and Taosha counties will be established first, and Yungu Mountain and Wuying will be combined into five counties. Yun Special District, set up Huangshui Special District in the Huangshui Valley such as Xihaibao, Dachuanhekou and Ningxi Acropolis. These two special districts are equivalent to county governments, what do you think?"

While improving the grassroots township governance system, Song Yingkui saw that the population and territory under governance was already large, so he prepared to establish district and county administrative agencies to facilitate management.

"Establishing a county? It is very necessary. But which county should manage Hezhou and Taozhou?" Of course my second uncle supports the establishment of a county. If a county is established, the level of the administrative office will be improved. Isn’t the level of the director of the department high?

"The four towns in Taozhou and Hezhou are temporarily under the direct administration of the administrative department. Matters that need to be handled by the county-level administrative offices in these four towns will first be handled by the relevant administrative offices of the administrative department. When the population of one of the states exceeds [-], The corresponding county offices will be opened." Hezhou and Taozhou have larger territories than counties, but their current population size is not enough, and the administrative personnel reserve of the city government is not enough, so the restoration of county governance in these two places can only be discussed later.

In fact, the population size of Huangshui Valley is smaller than that of Taohe Prefecture, but this area is too far away from the core area of ​​Yungu, and it is impossible to effectively manage it without establishing county-level administrative agencies.

"After the county is established, what auxiliary offices should be set up in the county government? Also, should the special districts be completely modeled on the county government in opening government offices?" The second uncle did not understand the significance of opening special districts. If the administrative functions are exactly the same as those of the county government, Then why bother to make up a special name and set up such an organization?

"The establishment of the county government is basically the same as that of the administrative office. The subordinate agencies of the administrative office have the power to guide and supervise the subordinate institutions of the county government but have no control power. The institutions of the special district government can be appropriately reduced, and some affairs are handled by the administrative office. Agent. One of the purposes of setting up special districts is to appropriately reduce the ratio of officials to save money! After all, the population under our control is still limited, and if there are too many officials, the expenses will be too high!"
