A doctor who travels through two eras

June 1962, Baoan County

When Lin Sanqi appeared in the county government office carrying a black faux leather briefcase with the word "Shanghai" written in large letters, secretaries Li Yujie and Bai Ruli quickly stood up from their desks.

"Commissioner Lin, you're back."

Bai Ruli is a girl with a delicate mind. She took the bag from Lin Sanqi, while Li Yujie quickly took out the cup of water and started making tea.

Lin Sanqi sat down in his chair, looking at the two busy secretaries, thinking how good it was to have power without having to lift a finger.

Lin Sanqi disappeared for a few days, saying that he was going to Hong Kong. A few days passed in this world, but several months passed in another time and space.

So in fact he is still adjusting to the jet lag, having traveled from a modern society to this agricultural society, and he is somewhat not used to it.

After closing his eyes and resting for a long time, Lin Sanqi asked:

"Li Yujie, remember this. I'm going to make the following deployment adjustments. The warehouse in Tuyang Township is still being expanded, and more and more materials will be smuggled in later. We must hurry up."

The originally planned transit point for smuggling was Tung Ping Chau Island, but there was a huge flaw here, which was that it was very troublesome to transport bulk materials to the mainland.

For example, it is difficult to transport a locomotive from an island to the mainland using human power without large gantry cranes and deep-water ports.

Therefore, Lin Sanqi built a new "transit base" on the land north of Dapeng Bay to facilitate the smuggling of supplies from Hong Kong.

(At least the mainland believes that the supplies that appeared in Baoan County were smuggled from Hong Kong by Lin Sanqi)
"In addition, we will continue to build new cold storages, the bigger the better. Bao'an County will soon start a large-scale construction, and we need to store a large amount of grain, vegetables, meat and eggs.

I have brought the building materials and refrigeration machines needed for the cold storage. I have also brought several diesel engines this time, each with 4250 kilowatts. You can send two to the Nantou Power Plant first."

The Nantou Power Plant only has one 112-horsepower diesel engine and a 75-kilowatt generator, which is only used for lighting.

I guess this generator will break down if you install a few air conditioners.

Lin Sanqi directly upgraded the power plant from 75 kilowatts to nearly 8500 kilowatts, which can be said to be a leap forward. Of course, the diesel consumption would also be an astronomical figure for this era.

Li Yujie took notes carefully: "Okay, Commissioner Lin."

"Do I have any work arrangements today?"

Bai Ruli immediately reported:

"During the days when you were away, two groups of people arrived in Baoan County.

A total of 3 railway engineers have arrived in Sha Tau Kok and are now on standby. Wang Changtian, commander of the Sixth Division of the Engineering Corps, said that you should contact him as soon as you return.

In addition, engineers from the Shijingshan Power Plant in the capital have also arrived at the guesthouse. They are also eager to see you and want to know the location and scale of the power plant, and they have been clamoring to see the generator.

There is another question. Professor Chai asked when the drug laboratory they need will be in place. Now they urgently need to study the production process of original drugs, and they also have some other projects they want to carry out and apply for funding.

In addition, with so many people arriving, our food supply has become a problem, and Commissioner Lin urgently needs to find a solution."

Lin Sanqi was overwhelmed after hearing this. It was only the first day since he came back and he hadn't even had time to catch his breath, yet so many things happened?
"Alright, alright, let's solve them one by one. The easiest problem to solve is the food problem. I have brought the food back from Hong Kong and stored it in the Tuyang warehouse. Tell Lao Xue to make the arrangements. Also, have the militia protect the food security."

I asked Professor Chai to wait a moment as his matter was not urgent. I told him that I already had the formula for the original drug and the production line, so he should wait until I finished other things.

Let's go meet the railway engineering troops first. They have come from afar to help us build the industrial park. We don't want to keep them waiting for too long."

Lin Sanqi thought, I can’t wait. When these 3 railway soldiers arrive, I will have to supply all the food. How much will they eat in a day?
Sha Tau Kok.

What Lin Sanqi saw was a dense network of tents, endless. There were 30,000 railway soldiers, even if there were 10 people in a room, there were more than 3,000 tents. Seeing that they came from afar to help, but he could not provide them with good food and accommodation, Lin Sanqi felt guilty.

So when he saw Wang Changtian, the commander of the Sixth Division of the Railway Engineering Corps, he saluted immediately:
"Hello, Commander Wang!"

Although Wang Changtian was old enough to be Lin Sanqi's father, they had the same military rank. In addition, Lin Sanqi was the local chief officer, so he did not dare to be arrogant and saluted as well:
"Hello, Commissioner Lin!"

The Railway Engineering Corps was formed under the Fourth Field Army based on the former Northeast Railway Column.

It had 10 railway divisions, 1 independent bridge regiment, and 1 railway school. After several expansions and reorganizations, the maximum number of personnel reached more than 51.

The team that came to support Bao'an County this time was the Sixth Railway Division, which became famous decades later called the China Railway Fifteenth Bureau.

Wang Changtian is 54 years old this year. He looks very weathered and has been through a lot. He smiled and said:
"Commissioner Lin, you are young and promising. If you hadn't protected us this time, our Iron Sixth Division would have been disbanded or merged."

The country cannot support 50 railway troops, and the country is facing not only a food crisis but also an economic crisis. Therefore, railway construction is not that important and more than half of the troops need to be cut.

This is also why the Ministry of Railways was very straightforward and directly transferred a division to Bao'an County, nominally to support the border, but actually to let Lin Sanqi support it.

It sounds bad to say that they will be supported, as they will be free labor.

Lin Sanqi waved his hand:

"Master Wang, I am a junior and I am grateful to you seniors for helping me this time.

Our Baoan County is now extremely poor, and if we want to build a modern industrial park on this land, we cannot do without the hard work of the Sixth Iron Division. "

Wang Changtian was a soldier, and soldiers don’t talk a lot of nonsense, so he said directly:
“Commissioner Lin, before coming to Bao’an County, we received an order that all actions must be under your command, so Commissioner Lin will take over the command of our Iron Sixth Division, and I will be your deputy.

Please rest assured, Commissioner Lin, our Iron Sixth Division is a unit with a glorious history. We can be deployed, fight and win. No matter how difficult the conditions are, we will definitely complete the tasks assigned to us by our superiors and the people. "

Lin Sanqi thought that he just liked to use his own soldiers, who worked really hard and obeyed orders really well.

"By the way, Commander Wang, did you bring all the construction machinery with you this time?"

Commander Wang suddenly felt a little embarrassed:
"We have engineering machinery and equipment, but we don't have diesel and gasoline, so Commissioner Lin needs to solve this problem. We can make do with the accommodation, since we railway soldiers are used to living outdoors anyway.

But according to the order we received, we also need Commissioner Lin's help to solve our food problem. But please rest assured, Commissioner Lin, I know that the national food supply is difficult now, and we only need to eat two meals a day. "

Lin Sanqi took a deep breath, suppressed the emotion in his heart, and said seriously:

"Please rest assured, Master Tieliu. I, Lin Sanqi, am not a stingy person. You are doing physical work. If you don't eat enough, you won't get enough nutrition. This is overdrawing your life. I am not a landlord, I will definitely make sure you have enough food and clothes.

Three meals a day are guaranteed, and I guarantee that you can eat meat every day. I will leave the engineering matters to you, and you leave the logistics support to me. In the next few years, we will be a family, and we should not have different opinions.

So, I will supply each soldier with 100 kilograms of food per month, all of which is rice. Soldiers can eat as much as they can. If they can't finish it, they can send it back home and treat it as wages. What do you think, Commander Wang?"

When Commander Wang heard this, he was completely stunned:

"This, this, this is great. Not only can our soldiers be well fed, but more importantly, there will be enough food to feed their families. Commissioner Lin, you are so generous. But the food supply for so many people will be very stressful for you."

Lin Sanqi thought to himself, why should I be under so much pressure? With 100 kilograms of food a month, even if I charge 2 yuan per kilogram, it would only be 200 yuan per person. I can hire a strong laborer for less than yuan a year.

With such little money and food, a railway soldier had to work hard for him for a month. He was even more corrupt than Liu Wencai, the big landlord. (End of this chapter)
