A doctor who travels through two eras

Chapter 146: Deputy Section Chief Wu’s Insidiousness

Zhu Xingchen continued to analyze:

"There are fewer procurement tasks in the Northwest, so it is not very realistic to arrange Lin Sanqi to travel all day. Other regions have heavier tasks, but they are not Lin Sanqi's areas of responsibility, so everyone should think of ways to get Lin Sanqi to other regions."

"Yes!"

Yang Xiaoqing and the others fell into deep thought after hearing this.

"But the regional division of labor has just been completed, and now it has to be adjusted after just over a month. I'm afraid it will be difficult for Kong Shuihu to pass. In addition, among the six major regions in the country, the northwest is the worst. There are wolves there. Who among us is willing to exchange with Lin Sanqi?"

If I am willing to go to the Northwest, I will not let Lin Sanqi pick the cadres' peaches.

Deputy Section Chief Wu's eyes sparkled at this time, and he obviously had a plan in mind:
"This matter is easy to handle."

Everyone who was originally talking at once quieted down and looked at Deputy Section Chief Wu.

The medicine warehouse has already informed us that we need to purchase more than a dozen Chinese medicines, including Phyllanthus urinaria, Pteris corydalis, Herba Eupatorii, Curcuma zedoaria, Semen Cassiae, and Andrographis paniculata. Think about it, what are the characteristics of these Chinese medicines? "

Speaking of this, Li Zexu, who is in charge of purchasing in South China, has the most say:

"I am familiar with these herbs. Phyllanthus urinaria, Pteris corydalis, Herba Eupatorii, Curcuma zedoaria, Semen Cassiae and Andrographis paniculata are all mainly concentrated in South China."

At this point, Li Zexu suddenly paused, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly:

"I understand, Chief Wu, I understand."

Yang Xiaoqing and Zhu Xingchen were full of questions: "What do you understand?"

Deputy Section Chief Wu just drank some water and smiled without saying anything.

Li Zexu suddenly took out a national map from his front bag and explained to everyone:

"You see, the main production area of ​​​​Centella asiatica is Yulin in Guangqi, the main production area of ​​Curcuma zedoaria is Qinxian; the main production area of ​​​​Leaflete is Meizhou in Dongguang Province, the main production area of ​​​​Phoenix tail grass is Zhanjiang; the main production area of ​​​​Andrographis paniculata is Hujian Zhangpu, and the main production area of ​​​​Semen Cassiae is Putian.

If Lin Sanqi wanted to purchase these six herbs, even though the quantity was not large, he would have to travel all over the three provinces and six cities in South China, and he would have to climb mountains and cross rivers, and go to the sky and the sea all the way, which would be very miserable.

Look at places like Yulin, Qinxian, and Meizhou. They are all located in the mountains. Not only is transportation inconvenient, but the climate is also stuffy and humid. They are typical ghost places.

Zhanjiang, Zhangpu and Putian are all by the sea. These places were places where criminals were exiled in ancient times. Can you imagine how good the environment is? After running around, the sun can make your skin peel off.

The key is that there is no direct train connection between these three provinces and six cities. You can only take a car, then a horse-drawn cart, and finally walk. After traveling to so many places, it is estimated that it will take two or three months to return. "

Deputy Section Chief Wu took over and reminded:

"One trip takes two to three months. If he is assigned three or four business trips a year, he will hardly have to stay in the capital. There is no place for him in our Chinese medicine hospital. Even if Dean Shen wants to take care of him, he can't."

Li Zexu added:
"These places are not only far away, but the roads are also very dangerous. Not to mention the green forest heroes in the mountains, even if they are bitten by poisonous snakes, insects and rats in the tropical rain forest, it may be too late to rescue them in the wild.

Every time I go to these places to purchase medicinal materials, I need to go with Bi Chunlong and Liao Zhanying, and I have to ask local comrades to be our guides. We form a team of four or five people before we dare to set off. If Lin Sanqi goes into the mountains and seas alone, hehe..."

Zhu Xingchen and Yang Xiaoqing suddenly realized: "Oh~~~"

"But, no, no, the problem is back to square one. Lin Sanqi is in charge of the northwest. How can we get him to South China?"

In 59, the country's economic center was in the north, while the south was still an agricultural society with a small peasant economy model and was very poor.

At least in the eyes of the people in the capital, South China is a typical poor and remote area, only slightly better than the northwest.

Take Dongguan Province for example. At that time, almost all the smart, clever and ambitious people ran to the Pearl of the Orient because the inland areas were too poor.

Deputy Section Chief Wu snorted:
“Isn’t it easy to get Lin Sanqi to go to the three provinces in southern China?
Li Zexu, go back and tell Bi Chunlong and Liao Zhanying that the three of you should simultaneously find a way to claim to be sick and be unable to go to work. At the very least, you cannot travel long distances. You should figure out what kind of medical certificate you need.

Yang Xiaoqing, Zhu Xingchen, you two will also receive some purchasing tasks tomorrow. I will arrange for you to go on business trips to your respective areas of jurisdiction, and you must ensure that you cannot come back within half a month.

This way, Lin Sanqi will be the only idle person left in the capital for our procurement. I will arrange the procurement tasks later. Under the premise that Li Zexu and the other two are unable to go on business trips due to illness, Lin Sanqi can only take over temporarily. He will have to go when the time comes."

Yang Xiaoqing laughed out loud:
"Yes, yes. How dare he not go? That's perfect. Why should he be a cadre? A cadre is supposed to set an example. This is just making him tie himself up in knots."

Li Zexu also clapped his hands excitedly:

"We won't set him any problems, but I won't lend him Lin Sanqi through my connections in South China. Let him figure it out on his own, wandering around the three provinces in South China like a headless fly. If he fails to complete the task, that's great. We can take advantage of the opportunity to make trouble again, haha."

At this time, Deputy Section Chief Wu pointed out:
“Young people cannot endure hardships. Even if they can endure hardships, they cannot withstand setbacks. What we need to do now is to mess with Lin Sanqi’s mentality and make him busy, tired, and uneasy every day. When his spirit collapses one day, he will be useless!” Li Zexu, Zhu Xingchen, and Yang Xiaoqing were all secretly shocked when they heard this. This was a standard way to kill someone and destroy their heart.

It seems that I should not offend this deputy section chief in the future. He is too cruel, too sinister, and too vicious...

Sure enough, the next day, Li Zexu, Bi Chunlong and Liao Zhanying were traveling at the same time and had a traffic accident. All three were injured and were sent to the Railway General Hospital for hospitalization.

Section Chief Kong didn't take it seriously. He just thought that his subordinates were unlucky, so he personally went to the hospital to visit them with some canned food.

Seeing his three subordinates wrapped in gauze lying on the hospital beds, Chief Kong readily approved them for half a month's sick leave, as the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to heal a broken bone.

On the third day, Yang Xiaoqing and Zhu Xingchen also received purchasing tasks and were arranged to go on business trips.

Up to this point, the purchasing department was still calm and nothing happened.

Lin Sanqi punched in for work as usual every day, and then disappeared. In fact, he was just out there as a "tourist".

In 59, many ancient buildings in Peking were still well preserved. Except for the city walls, other Ming and Qing Dynasty buildings were authentic and very significant to the time.

Places like the Wanfo Tower in Beihai Park, which once housed ten thousand golden Buddhas, and the small railway that Cixi used to visit the park are all preserved.

This small railway connects Beihai Park and the Forbidden City. It is the first railway in China. It can still be seen in 59. In the future...

For example, there is a Daqingshou Temple on the south side of West Chang'an Street. There are two nine-story pagodas built in the Yuan Dynasty, one large and one small, which are very ancient, majestic and full of beauty.

In addition, with Daqingshou Temple as the center, East Public Security Street, Ministry of Justice Street, Chaoyangmen, Fuchengmen, as well as Dongdan, Xidan, Xisi, in front of the Temple of Emperors of All Dynasties, etc., now preserve very traditional and beautiful archways.

Many tourists only remember the seven-linked archway group in Tangyue, Huangshan, Anhui Province. Even the Qiong Yao drama "Smoke Locks the Tower" was filmed here.

Everyone feels that these seven memorial archways not only embody the ethics of "loyalty, filial piety, chastity and righteousness" of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism in Hui culture, but are also an important testimony to the fact that Hui merchants have been active in the business world for more than 300 years.

But compared with the archways in the old city in the 50s, the seven archways in Tangyue are nothing compared to them.

That is a folk archway, which cannot be compared with the grand royal archway. It can only be regarded as a younger brother in terms of exquisiteness and scale.

But even with such a beautiful group of archways, Lin Sanqi knew that it would only last for a few more years.

The Soviet aid experts even proposed to demolish the Forbidden City and transform this prime land into a modern administrative center. Fortunately, Comrade Xiangyu made a strong commitment, otherwise future generations would not even be able to see the Forbidden City.

So Lin Sanqi wanted to take advantage of the time and opportunity to visit the 59 city. It would be best if he could record it so that he could use it as a memorial and research in the future, right?

But if you want Lin Sanqi to hold a mobile phone selfie stick and walk around the streets to take pictures like a self-media person, wouldn't that be like delivering vegetables to the alley aunties or catching a spy?

Finally, he was locked up and sliced ​​into pieces.

So the most important thing is to buy a camera.

Lin Sanqi came out of the office and walked slowly towards Wangfujing, where there are some of the largest shopping malls in the capital, and you can buy whatever you want.

When he arrived at Wangfujing, he first drank a bowl of mutton soup at Dong'an Market. When he came out, he burped and the soup smelled like mutton.

Don't ask why Lin Sanqi had burps when others were hungry. If you ask, it turns out that he ate two servings of mutton soup and two pancakes by himself. Anyway, he didn't lack tickets or money.

When I run out of money, I go to the black market. When I run out of tickets, I go to Brother Qin Ming who runs a printing workshop...

After eating and drinking, we crossed the street and arrived at the Peking Department Store.

This is the first large-scale department store in the history of New China built with state investment and is known as the "No. 1 Store in New China."

Of course, the architectural styles of this era are all imitations of the Soviet style. They are all square and look grand at first glance, but then they are monotonous and lack aesthetic appeal. Anyway, Lin Sanqi doesn’t like it very much.

Although it was just after 9 o'clock in the morning, the department store was already very busy.

As a popular check-in spot in the 50s, Peking Department Store is a must-visit place for everyone who comes to the capital on business, even if they can’t afford to buy anything, it’s worth just visiting.

The key is that there are many things that cannot be bought anywhere else.

Anyone who has a little bit of means will ask relatives and friends who are on business trips to the capital to help bring some things back, just like asking relatives and friends going abroad to bring things back in the 1980s.

Lin Sanqi thought that he was lucky to have traveled to the capital in 59.
