A doctor who travels through two eras

At night, Lin Sanqi slept on the kang, tossing and turning but couldn't fall asleep.

One reason was excitement. In 1960, 20 wild ginseng were purchased. If they were 500 years old, they could buy about 200 ginsengs. Based on the average price of 10 million per ginseng, that would be a profit of more than billion.

Even if some ginsengs are not over a hundred years old, your wild ginseng that is 80 or 60 years old can still be sold at a sky-high price.

The key point is that in China, wild ginseng is very scarce and has a price but no market. The market gap is very large and there is no worry about selling it. It is absolutely a hot commodity.

Even if a few hundred wild ginsengs were released, it would probably not be enough to fill the gaps in the teeth of those wealthy families.

When he thought that this was only the first batch of ginseng to be purchased, and there would be a second and third batch to follow, Lin Sanqi was so excited that he felt as if he was not sleeping on a kang, but on money.

Of course, another main reason why he couldn't sleep was that the kang was too hot.

Sitting on the kang during the day and feeling the warmth in the room, Lin Sanqi felt that the kang was truly a great invention of mankind and it was amazing.

But when he slept on the kang at night, he felt like he was making a pancake. He baked one side, turned over, and continued to bake the other side. It was too hot.

Dean Shen couldn't sleep either. He was worried. If more employees continued to be besieged by the wolves and died, he would be held responsible.

It was he who proposed and strongly recommended the establishment of the farm, which was contrary to the current national policy and the higher authorities also had concerns.

If it succeeds, everyone will be happy.

If it fails and causes major casualties, not only will the more than 100 employees and hundreds of their families have to be relocated back to their hometowns, but he will also be punished personally.

So Dean Shen turned left and right like a pancake, sighing from time to time.

Since he couldn't sleep, Dean Shen sat up and glanced at Lin Sanqi beside him:
"Hey, Xiaoqi, is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."

Lin Sanqi also got up and turned on the light. "What you said made me hungry too, haha."

After saying that, Lin Sanqi took out a plate of pork head, a plate of pickled vegetables, and two large white Shandong steamed buns from the cupboard.

Dean Shen had an expression that said "as expected" and he grabbed it and started eating it without any hesitation. He rarely got to eat this kind of big white flour steamed bun.

"Xiao Qi, I have solved the ginseng problem for you. Please don't make any mistakes with the food problem. You are a key part of my building this farm."

Lin Sanqi was actually a little worried. He was not worried about not having enough food, but how to get so much food.
"Uncle Shen, I'll tell you the truth. I don't have much of a problem with food. I'll find a way to get it even if it costs me my life. But I'm afraid, if I bring back food truckloads of it, won't it be too conspicuous?"

February is the time when there is a shortage of food, and it is also the second year of a natural disaster in history. The food supply is more serious than in 2, and will be even worse next year.

Now everyone is starving, and you suddenly bring back a large amount of food. If someone sees you, won’t they fight you to the death?
Even if the common people don't fight you, if the relevant departments find out, they will definitely arrest Lin Sanqi and ask him to explain where the food came from.
Dean Shen ate and waved his hands:
“I have thought about this. When I first built the farm, my superiors asked me how to solve the food shortage for hundreds of family members in the past six months if the food rations for 132 employees were stopped.
At that time, I told my leader that I could get a batch of food through my old leader in the army. So don't worry, the civil affairs system and the military affairs system are independent of each other, and most people don't dare to ask about the affairs of the army.

The higher authorities thought our food came from the army, and this is the best excuse. If anything really happens, I will take full responsibility and will not give you away."

Lin Sanqi heaved a sigh of relief, thinking that there were too many old foxes.

In fact, Lin Sanqi had looked up the information and found that during those three years, our soldiers were actually hungry and life in the army was not easy.

But ordinary people don’t think so.

At that time, ordinary people were generally proud to be able to join the army. Whether they were children of wealthy families or ordinary citizens, they all wanted to become a member of the Liberation Army.

Firstly, they feel that defending the country is a supreme honor that brings glory to the family. Who doesn’t want to fight against the American devils?
Secondly, it is probably because you can get enough food in the army, and food, drink, defecation and urination are all guaranteed by the state. It is better than starving at home. If you are promoted, you can get a long-term meal ticket, which is considered a leap forward.

This created a misunderstanding. The common people thought that the troops ate large white flour steamed buns every day, but in fact, the people's children ate the worst kind of steamed buns.

But using military rations as an excuse is indeed the best smokescreen.

Lin Sanqi disagrees:
"Uncle Shen, I think you have overlooked a major loophole in your entire plan. If this loophole is not resolved, I'm afraid the farm plan will not be able to survive."

Dean Shen put down his chopsticks and asked seriously, "What loophole?"

"Uncle Shen, you only considered the problems of the 132 employees before, but you ignored the problems of their families. You see, the total number of employees and their families who have come to the farm now exceeds 600.

It’s okay for those who come from rural areas. They are willing to suffer in the capital in order to avoid going back to their hometowns. It’s better than going back to their hometowns. But there are still a group of employees whose spouses have formal jobs. Now they have come to our Changping Farm. The employment problem of these spouses cannot be solved, and the education problem of their children is also not solved. I have heard that some family members of employees are already preparing for divorce. ”

"divorce?"

"Yes, divorced, divorced, our Chinese medicine hospital staff are still working as farmers in Changping, but their spouses can return to the urban area. After all, they have a capital hukou, formal jobs, and can live independently.

When the couples in these families start to divorce over whether to stay or leave, it will easily cause instability in our farm and affect future production and construction.”

Dean Shen fell silent when he heard this. After a long while, he sighed:
"Husband and wife are birds of a feather. It is normal for them to fly away separately when disaster strikes. I didn't think this through..."

The old man felt very uncomfortable. He thought he had done something bad with good intentions and had broken up many worker families. He already felt a little guilty.

Seeing that the old man was upset, Lin Sanqi persuaded him:
"This matter cannot be blamed on your Changping Farm Project. After all, most of these 132 workers were sent back to their hometowns because they did not meet the conditions for staying in Beijing. It was not a crime, and their spouses and children would not be implicated.

So Uncle Shen, even if you don't send them to Changping and let them go back to their hometown in the countryside, these families will still be broken up. Not everyone is willing to follow the man they marry. "

Dean Shen thought about it and agreed!

If one party makes a mistake, the whole family may be implicated, and other family members will have no choice but to follow their husband back to his hometown.

Now, just because of artificial policies, if one spouse has to be deported and the other can stay in Beijing, divorce is inevitable.

Lin Sanqi mentioned another question:
"There is also education. Look at the incident with Zhu Xiaoxia and Ye Shanmin today. These two young people were in the first year of high school. They could have gone to college and had a bright future.

But both families couldn't even go to school because they didn't meet the policy requirements for staying in Beijing. Without education, of course all they could think about was dating and finding a partner. There are many students like this, both in middle schools and primary schools.

If these children are not well educated and do not have formal jobs, they may become hooligans in the future. They are the children of the Chinese Medicine Hospital like me, and we can’t just watch them drop out of school, right? "

Dean Shen was in a low mood and sighed:
"I can't do anything. I can't be perfect. Many employees came to me crying and shouting that they wanted to stay in the capital. They didn't want to go back to their hometowns because they were afraid that if they went back to their hometowns, they wouldn't even have a place to stay and their whole family would die.

As their leader, I can only try my best to give them the opportunity to stay in Beijing, hoping that the disaster year will pass quickly. Perhaps they can still return to the Chinese medicine hospital and restore the food supply. I really can't consider so much else."

Lin Sanqi could also understand this point, as he knew the future direction of history.

In a few years, more intellectuals will return to their hometowns.

However, when these intellectuals returned to their hometowns in the countryside, they didn't even have houses to live in. Many of them could only live in shacks in the wild or in dilapidated temples. Their lives were extremely difficult.

If housing is a problem, there is one more critical difficulty.

Working in the countryside is based on work points. A male worker gets 10 points a day, while a woman may get 9 or 8 points. You can only get work points if you work hard and show full labor. Finally, food is distributed according to the work points.

But the intellectuals were all weak scholars, how could they farm? Not getting work points meant no food, and life fell into hardship again.

Some people may say that there are not many literate people in rural areas, and the intellectuals who return there can be fully competent for such jobs as clerical, accounting, and publicity officers.

The problem is that these "good jobs" are occupied by the brother-in-law of the village party secretary, the sister-in-law of the village head, etc. How can you, who have been away from home for many years and don't have many family ties, get a chance?
Don't think too highly of rural life.

The most miserable people in the world are farmers, and the worst are village cadres. These people are uneducated and overbearing, calling themselves local tyrants. How many outrageous things have they done in the Buzz Buzz era? !

There is no harm without comparison. This is also one of the main reasons why Lin Sanqi admires Dean Shen and is willing to take risks to help him.

As I said, staying in the suburbs of Beijing is definitely more advantageous than returning to your hometown.

The atmosphere inside was a bit depressing.

Suddenly, Dean Shen's eyes lit up and he looked up at Lin Sanqi:
"You have something else in your words, come on, what's your idea? Tell me now."

Lin Sanqi certainly has an idea, but this idea has certain risks under the current policy, and Dean Shen must cooperate.

"Uncle Shen, I have a way to get a lot of food, and even pay wages and food to the families of employees..." (End of this chapter)
