In the late Qing Dynasty, in mountainous areas that were still under construction, it was a treasure to be able to hire military doctors who were medical students studying abroad and were familiar with special operations tactics.

Chen Tianhua and Li Xinghong looked at each other and said immediately: "Very good, Mr. Xiang, what are your requirements for personal salary and working environment?"

After Xiangdong hesitated for a moment, he said in a deep voice:

"Your Majesty, there is one more thing that I need to confess. It is better to stay here and finish my words. Your Majesty can then decide whether to discuss the salary issue."

As soon as these words came out, everyone present was really shocked, and the atmosphere in the conference room suddenly condensed.

What, is there something unspeakable that no one knows about?

As the promoter, Zheng Kun was also frightened to the point of breaking into a cold sweat. He had been praised and affirmed by his lord just now, but now he even made a fart. Doesn't it mean that his initial review was not strict?

Zheng Kun swallowed sadly and glared at Xiangdong with dissatisfaction.

"Mr. Xiang, it doesn't matter if you say it."

Chen Tianhua remained calm and composed. He did not hesitate too much, thinking to himself that as long as it was not related to selling or taking opium, it would be easy to discuss.

"The younger one has a criminal record and was just released from prison not long ago. The younger one is actually not in active service, but was dismissed two years ago because while serving in the Nanyang Navy, the younger one shot and injured the commander."

Li Xinghong and others were stunned. He didn't understand how this outstanding military doctor could not cope with the reality. It was not easy for an outstanding military doctor to appear, but he offended his superiors. This was a taboo in the military.

Looking at the shocked faces of Li Xinghong and others, Chen Tianhua continued to ask quietly: "Mr. Xiangdong, why did you want to hurt your commander?"

Xiangdong smiled bitterly and said:

"The officer was very greedy. He often deducted the pay of his subordinates to gamble at will. He had a strong backing, but everyone dared to get angry but did not dare to speak out. The young man drank a little too much that day and hurt him in a fit of anger. As a result, he was sentenced to jail.

, I was just released from prison last month.”

After hearing this, Chen Tianhua smiled slightly and said solemnly:

"Actually, I am not interested in your criminal record at all. For an officer to withhold military pay is already a crime. What I am concerned about is, are you willing to selflessly impart your lifelong knowledge and skills of Western medicine to others?"

Xiangdong grinned and said:

"Of course I am willing. Knowledge and skills will not be brought with me in life or death. Being able to teach others the skills I have mastered throughout my life and have successors is equivalent to the continuation of my own life. What reason do I have to refuse? Sir, please rest assured, little one

We will actively cultivate new people for the autonomous region."

After Chen Tianhua murmured a few words to Li Xinghong, he said to Xiangdong in a deep voice:

"We agree to hire you as the director of the Central Hospital of the Autonomous Region and the medical officer of the New Army Mixed Regiment. Your task is to quickly train a large number of Western medicine practitioners, especially battlefield first responders."

Xiangdong nodded and said in a deep voice:

"With all due respect, training of Western medicine personnel requires training conditions and equipment, but can this remote place in the mountains have such conditions? Also, if this is the case, if I need help, the adults can give me sufficient personnel rights, which is enough

Funding?”

Chen Tianhua smiled slightly and said:

"Of course, the training venue is in the district central school. As the director of the central hospital, you have the power of personnel administration and financial control. You are fully responsible for personnel recruitment, etc. As long as you can list the equipment and instruments that need to be purchased,

Detailed list, whether it is domestic or foreign, we are responsible for purchasing it for you."

Xiangdong's face became brighter, and he said slightly nervously: "If it is a fixed salary, how many silver dollars can an external Western medicine doctor earn per month?"

He didn't ask about his salary, but asked the doctor of Western medicine skillfully and strategically. Everyone laughed after hearing this.

Finally getting to the essential issue, Chen Tianhua said:

"Mr. Xiangdong, if you agree to join, I can assure you now that your monthly salary is 500 yuan, a small Western-style house with a courtyard, two guards, war horses, servants, etc.

.”

"As long as the Western medicine talents you recruit have returned from studying abroad, their monthly salary will start at 200 yuan, and the autonomous region will provide housing, war horses and other supporting facilities."

Wow, a monthly salary of more than 200 silver dollars is considered a top-notch salary no matter where you are. In the entire Qing Dynasty, you can't find it even if you hold a lantern.

And his monthly salary of five hundred silver dollars and his annual salary of six thousand oceans are astronomical figures. Outside, even ten years would not reach this level.

Looking at it now, it seems that the money he can earn is far beyond his imagination, and this gentleman seems to pay special attention to talents.

Xiangdong's eyes lit up, he stood up, clasped his fists and bowed:

"My lord, from now on, I am willing to serve your autonomous region and look forward to serving you."

Chen Tianhua nodded and said: "No problem, Mr. Xiangdong, the hospital is for dual use, both military and civilian. It can be used as a field hospital during wartime and is open to civilians and soldiers in peacetime. Your establishment is placed in the autonomous region government and is under the jurisdiction of Mr. Zheng Kun."

"Okay, thank you very much for your kindness!"

"..."

…

Since the beginning of the new year, Meiguang Autonomous Region has entered an unprecedented construction climax.

The Meishan-Niutoushan mining area railway has begun comprehensive track laying, and track laying projects for various branch railways have also begun.

The total length of the main line and branch lines is more than 70 miles, and security work along the railway has been put on the agenda.

Chen Tianhua's headquarters requires that it be put into service before the end of June for trial operation.

The telephone cable project along the railway line is also proceeding in an orderly manner.

In addition to railway construction, the infrastructure construction of Meishan Town and Huaikan Town is also in full swing.

Autonomous region administrative center, central hospital, central school, commercial district, Fengzhong Bank, large department stores, commercial and residential areas, talent centers, etc.

According to Chen Tianhua's plan, all these infrastructure constructions will be carried out in the area between Meishan Town and Huaikan Town.

Because the 40-mile standard highway between the two towns has been built, it is equivalent to merging the two towns into a new very large town. After several years of construction, the two towns will eventually be connected.

These areas are all barren mountains and ridges. The areas are flattened by clearing and filling in the mountains, which does not affect the areas of horse pastures and cultivated land.

Now, tens of thousands of migrant workers from all over the south of the Yangtze River, as well as Shandong, Henan and Hebei, as well as hundreds of educated youths, as well as high-level returnee talents, have arrived in the Meiguang Autonomous Region to start businesses.

The freedom and democracy here, the emphasis on talents, the living environment of more rewards for more work, and high salaries attract all kinds of talents from home and abroad.

Some people say that the Meiguang Autonomous Region is an independent kingdom. It is a bit like a microcosm of the Western capitalist system, a bit like a childish state within a state.
