A doctor who travels through two eras

Lin Sanqi knew that Yunnan was poor. Even if we became strong decades later, Yunnan would still be a province at the bottom of the rankings.

As for Yunnan in the early 1960s, it was extremely poor. One reason was that it had a poor geographical location, being located on the frontier of the motherland.

Nowadays, any place with the word "Xinjiang" in its name is not a good place. Unlike decades later, they were all bridgeheads for foreign trade.

The second is that although Yunnan has a total area of ​​nearly 40 square kilometers, equivalent to four Jiangsu provinces, the mountainous area accounts for 4%, and hills and plateaus account for 88.6%.

True plains only account for 4.8% of the province's area.

It was okay in the industrial age, but in the agricultural society, without plains and lack of arable land, there was only one outcome: people could not even get enough food to eat.

Decades later, it was Yunnan that fired the first shot of educated youth returning to the city. This was probably because the educated youth in Yunnan really could not survive because they were too poor and too hungry.

Later, Shanghai produced a TV series called "Unfortunate Fate" which tells the story of the children of educated youth looking for their parents who have returned to the city. The story took place in Yunnan.

"Beautiful Xishuangbanna cannot keep my father. Shanghai is so big, there is no home for me. My father has one home, my mother has another home, and I am the only one left. I seem to be redundant~~~"

Therefore, Lin Sanqi felt extremely sympathetic towards Yunnan. The people there were so miserable that even the educated youth who came here could not stay.

He also knew that it was impossible for General Cao and Director Zhao, two big bosses from the frontier, to come here uninvited today without any reason. Their purpose was very clear, which was to make some money from him.

But Lin Sanqi does not mind this kind of fleecing, because the other party is also acting in the public interest.

Lin Sanqi picked up the wine glasses and filled them for Cao Zhiyang and Zhao Youxia, then asked:
"Minister Zhao, I understand that you need penicillin. I guess I got almost all the penicillin in the country. But what do you need, Commander Cao? I don't have any weapons."

Lin Sanqi only does ordinary smuggling business and dare not easily take on arms smuggling business.

Commander Cao sighed and said:

"Commissioner Lin, don't think that the whole of Yunnan is a peaceful place just because Kunming has spring-like weather all year round and a beautiful environment. In fact, the most miserable places in the country are our border provinces.

I look at our neighboring countries, Myanmar, Laos, Vietnam. What are they? In one word, chaos.

Another thing is, after the Guo army was driven away by us, they finally fled to these three places. They had guns and cannons in their hands, and they were all organized. So think about it, can this border be peaceful?

The war will lead to a consequence, a large increase in the number of injured people, coupled with the hot and humid climate on the border, without penicillin, it would be good if half of the ten injured soldiers survived. "

Lin Sanqi understood that in a harsh environment, not only could traumatic infections be fatal, but a small bout of pneumonia could also cost a soldier's life.

No antibiotics is really bad.

At this point, Lin Sanqi became a little curious, so he asked cautiously:
"Commander Cao, we were just joking at the dinner table, don't take it seriously, I'm just curious and want to ask.

The Guo army that we drove away had at least made contributions to the nation during the Anti-Japanese War. They also fought against the Japanese invaders. It is not appropriate to kill all of them, right? After all, they are compatriots. "

Upon hearing this, Shen Guoming quietly kicked Lin Sanqi, thinking that this silly boy dared to say anything.

Fu Hongliang and Shen Wenqiu also covered their mouths, fearing that Commander Cao would explode and hit Lin Sanqi on the head with a bowl.

How can anyone sympathize with the Guo Party reactionaries? This stance is problematic.

Commander Cao was stunned when he heard this, and he looked around quietly. He thought that there were no outsiders at the table, and Director Zhao next to him was not a talkative person, so he also replied carefully:
“You are talking about the Expeditionary Force of the Republic of China. These people are our national heroes, and I personally identify with them.

There were 10 expeditionary forces at that time, but in the end only less than 4 left the battlefield in Burma, and most of them died on the battlefield.

For example, in the famous Battle of Wild Man Mountain, there were 3 Guo troops, but only 3000 of them emerged from the Wild Man Mountain. Among these 3000, only one female soldier survived. She was beaten so badly.

It can be seen that the casualties of the expeditionary army were very high, and most of them died. Even those who survived the expedition were missing limbs, and almost all of them retired from active service and returned home.

So it was not the expeditionary army that fled to Yunnan, but the Guo army that retreated all the way from the inland. These people had the blood of our army and people on their hands, so we will naturally not show them mercy. "Lin Sanqi thought that was fine, but the reactionaries did not deserve sympathy.

Minister Zhao also interrupted at this time:
“Another thing is that Commissioner Lin should know that Yunnan is a province where ethnic minorities make up the majority. In order to allow all ethnic groups to feel the warmth of the motherland and to stabilize people’s hearts, we attach great importance to medical care.

Those ethnic minority tribes are still relatively primitive. When they are sick, they just perform shaman rituals and call in witch doctors, which is almost like waiting for death. We have sent many medical teams to the grassroots level to treat them in villages and tribes.

But no matter how skilled our doctors are, without medicine, they are like soldiers without weapons. Commissioner Lin, you are really anxious. The 10 bottles of penicillin we received last time are really not enough. "

Lin Sanqi took a bite of the dish and was very happy. After all, it was just a casual chat, so he asked:

"Director Zhao, your medical team won't just rely on penicillin when they go down, right?"

Zhao Youxia quickly stood up, refilled the glasses of Lin Sanqi, Shen Guoming, and Commander Cao, and then said with a smile:

"Commissioner Lin, you are wrong. Our medical team really relies on penicillin to maintain its reputation.

Think about it, if there are patients in the village with colds, fevers, coughs, pneumonia, these "incurable diseases" in the eyes of ethnic minorities, they can be cured immediately with just a few injections of penicillin. Do you think our doctors are worshipped as gods?

For example, ethnic minorities have to go hunting or farming in the mountains, so injuries are common. The simplest example is that they don't wear shoes, so their feet are often pierced by stones or branches.

If you are unlucky, a small wound will fester, which is dangerous because wound infection causes many deaths. Well, if you inject a few penicillin at this time, the infection will be controlled, the festering will disappear, and another life will be saved.

If our medical team can save a few lives in the village, we can gain the gratitude of the entire village. Once we have visited a few villages and saved lives, we can gain the friendship of the entire tribe, and then the border can be stabilized.”

Shen Guoming nodded slightly:
"Old Zhao and Commander Cao are right. Stability on the border means stability all over the country. Xiao Qi, if you can help, please help our comrades in Yunnan."

Lin Sanqi thought that this had risen to the level of national unity and stability, so how could he not help?
It's just penicillin, it's a piece of cake for him.

But the complexity of the matter lies in the fact that penicillin is so precious these days and is urgently needed by every province and every system, so he has to decide who to give it to and who not to give it to.

If he gave it to Yunnan, what if other provinces came to ask for it?
Every family has its own problems. It's not just Yunnan that has difficulties. Other provinces have their own troubles. For example, in Northeast China and Inner Mongolia right now, there is a bear staring at us.

Lin Sanqi is not the Leshan Giant Buddha or the Notre Dame of Paris. It is impossible for it to become a "cash cow" for free aid, right?

A little bit of rice brings gratitude, a bushel of rice brings worry, this is an eternal truth.

Thinking of this, Lin Sanqi picked up the wine glass and began to ponder.

Commander Cao and Director Zhao also felt a little guilty. After all, the medicines they needed were not just a few, and penicillin was a scarce substance that could not be bought even with money.

Besides, if you want to buy it, you need money.

Money is not the problem, the problem is that they don't have money...

Lin Sanqi had actually already thought about it. He had to give penicillin, but not for free. He could use supplies to pay for it. But what supplies did Yunnan have that he needed?

Xuanwei ham? This ham is delicious, but how much does it cost?

As for what he wanted, Lin Sanqi planned to travel back in time before going to bed at night and use the computer to look up information.

After a long day of flying, he urgently needed to go back to the guesthouse to rest.

Why go to the guesthouse? Shouldn't the in-laws stay at home? Shen Wenqiu's home couldn't accommodate guests at all.

In the military district family compound, Fu Hongliang and Shen Wenqiu welcomed their mother-in-law, father-in-law, and brother-in-law to their home for a chat. (End of this chapter)
