After the lunch break, Yue Haohan and Xu Yuanchao accompanied Luo Xianjie and Han Feng to visit the Chinese herbal medicine base in the Wangjiaba management area. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

In Tianjiawa Village, Wangjiaba Management Area, the group met Tian Zhiguo, the old village chief, and many villagers were planting Chinese medicinal materials in the fields. ”

Yue Haohan said with a smile: "I came today to take a look and see how everyone is planting medicinal herbs." Has the provincial Chinese herbal medicine company sent technical personnel to guide? ”

Tian Zhiguo jumped from the ridge, jumped onto the road, took out a pack of red treasure cigarettes and scattered the smoke, and replied: "Two technicians were sent to tour the whole management area to give planting technical guidance, and they just left from us." ”

Luo Xianjie took the cigarette handed over by Tian Zhiguo and asked, "Old comrade, what kind of medicinal herbs are you planting?" ”

"There are several villages in the entire management area, and the planning is one village and one product, and our village is mainly planted with skullcap." Tian Zhiguo replied.

"Skullcap? That's a good thing! The root of skullcap is used as medicine, with bitter taste and cold nature, and has the effects of clearing heat and dampness, detoxifying fire and detoxifying, and stopping bleeding. It is mainly used for the treatment of fever, upper respiratory tract infection, pulmonary fever and cough, damp heat and yellow bile, pneumonia, dysentery, coughing up blood, red eyes, fetal restlessness, high blood pressure, carbuncle and boils. During the war years, this skullcap saved many lives. Luo Xianjie was very interested, and said one by one.

Tian Zhiguo looked at Luo Xianjie and asked, "Old comrade, do you know Chinese medicine?" ”

Luo Xianjie said with a smile: "When we were soldiers, most of us knew the habits of Chinese herbal medicine; Let's just say this skullcap, when we were stationed in Wudang Mountain in 31 years, the wounded and sick stopped bleeding, colds, and dysentery, all relying on it; Back then, my master once took someone to Wangjiaba to collect and buy skullcap. ”

"Are you an old Red Army?" Tian Zhiguo asked with admiration.

"At that time, it was very difficult, there was a shortage of all kinds of medicinal materials, and many wounded or sick Red Army soldiers could have survived, but they all died because of the lack of medicinal materials." Luo Xianjie sighed, as if he was back in the war years.

Tian Zhiguo said: "When my father was alive, I heard him say that when the Red Army was stationed in Wudang Mountain, Xu Benshan, the Taoist chief of Wudang Mountain, once brought several Taoist priests and a platoon of the Red Army to our village to buy Chinese medicinal materials, mainly the purchase of skullcap. Later, when they heard that the money they had brought was not enough, the Red Army wrote an IOU to the family of the seller of medicinal herbs, saying that they would repay it twice in the future. I still have an IOU at home. ”

Hearing Tian Zhiguo say that there was still an IOU for the Red Army to purchase medicinal materials at home, Luo Xianjie looked excited, turned his head to Han Feng, the commander of the provincial military region beside him, and said: "Commander Han, let's go to Tian Village's house to meet that IOU, we are now sitting in the world, and we can't treat these people who supported the revolution back then!" ”

Tian Zhiguo cleaned up briefly, and then led everyone towards the village. Tian Zhiguo's home is at the head of the village, and it will be there in a short time.

Tian Zhiguo's house is three adobe tile houses, although the house looks simple, but the front and back of the house, all around are neat and clean, Tian Zhiguo moved out the square table and chairs in the house, everyone sat down in the front of the house, Tian Zhiguo's wife was busy pouring tea and water for everyone, and Tian Zhiguo went back to the house to find an IOU.

After a while, Tian Zhiguo came out of his home with a delicate small red lacquered wooden box with an old-fashioned small copper lock on it. Tian Zhiguo put the wooden box on the table, took out the key to open the lock, took out a slightly damaged, yellowed note from the wooden box, handed it to Luo Xianjie and said: "Old comrade, look at it, this is what I said." ”

Luo Xianjie carefully took the note and looked at it carefully, the IOU was written on the yellowed notepaper with a brush. The content is, "Today, Mr. Tian's Shiming family owes a total of three catties and two taels of Chinese herbal medicines, which is equivalent to eight yuan in the ocean, and the principal and interest will be doubled and paid off in the coming day." The first company and three platoons of the independent battalion of the Third Army of the Chinese Workers' and Peasants' Red Army, handled by Han Dazhuang. August 14, Xinwei year. ”

After reading the IOU repeatedly, Luo Xianjie laughed "ha, ha", and said to Han Feng excitedly: "Xiao Han, come and see if the IOU is written by your old man, look at his handprint on it, you see, is it your old man's handwriting." ”

Han Feng, the commander of the provincial military region, was excited in his heart, hurriedly went to Luo Xianjie, gently took the IOU, read it carefully, and said: "The handwriting looks like that of my old man, especially the words Han Dazhuang, which were written by him himself; But I've never heard my old man talk about it. ”

Luo Xianjie said: "Han Feng, you must take some time to bring your old man over to have a look, and let him come over in person to thank and thank the village chief Tian and his family." ”

Han Feng said: "I'm back in Jianghan this time, I'll take him over to see after the old man is discharged from the hospital." ”

Luo Xianjie turned his head and looked at Tian Zhiguo again, pointed to the IOU with his right hand and asked, "Chief Tian Village, who are you this Tian Shirong?" ”

Tian Zhiguo said: "Tian Shirong is my grandfather, when he was alive, he was one of the famous Tulang in our area, my grandfather has been dead for many years, he starved to death during the famine in five or eight years. ”

Luo Xianjie said: "Look, what a good crowd, when there was a famine and hunger, didn't you think about taking this IOU to the government?" ”

Tian Zhiguo said: "I heard my father tell me, and my father also mentioned to my grandfather at that time, I went to the government with an IOU, but my grandfather stopped me, saying that the country is also in a difficult period, and he would rather starve to death than make trouble for the government and cause trouble." ”

Luo Xianjie was a little excited, and said movingly: "This is our people, and this is the fundamental reason why we can defeat millions of Kuomintang reactionary troops!" If we don't do things for these people, if we can't let these people live a good life, we will be ashamed of the martyrs under Jiuquan! ”

Luo Xianjie looked at the yellowed and damaged IOU again, and then said: "Tian Village Chief, I am the battalion commander of the independent battalion written on this IOU, Han Dazhuang, the platoon leader of the third platoon of the company who wrote the IOU to your grandfather, is my old subordinate, he is the old man of Commander Han, he is now retired and lives in Jianghan. ”

Han Feng was also very excited, stepped forward to hold Tian Zhiguo's hand with both hands, and said, "Chief Tian, on behalf of my father, thank you for your family!" Then, Han Feng instructed a major who followed him, took out his camera, and took a picture of the IOU.

Thanking Tian Zhiguo's enthusiastic retention, on the way back to the township government, Luo Xianjie said earnestly: "Commander Xiaohan, you must report to the provincial party committee after you go back, the people in the old area and I have made great contributions to the cause of liberation!" It is necessary to help them get rid of poverty and become rich as soon as possible, so that they can live a good life. ”

Han Feng nodded and replied, "Old chief, please rest assured, I will definitely report your thoughts to the provincial party committee and the provincial government." In addition, I also have an idea: After I go back, the provincial military district will seriously study it, and we plan to raise funds to support the construction of a provincial military district base in Guihuaping Township to support the construction of a base for labor and military support, so as to radiate and drive the villagers in this area to get rid of poverty and become rich. ”

Luo Xianjie said: "Your idea is good, I agree with it; At that time, your provincial military district should communicate and demonstrate in detail with the comrades of Guihuaping Township in the vast number of them, and see what projects are more suitable. ”

Back in the township, Yue Haohan took everyone to visit Meiying Bamboo Products Processing Factory, Hongxing Garment Factory, Quanshan Jade Carving Handicraft Factory, etc., and finally visited Xu Yuanchao's Sunshine Frame Factory. At the invitation of Xu Yuanchao, director of Sunshine Machinery Factory, everyone drove to the small restaurant of Sunshine Machinery Factory.

Sunshine Machinery Factory is seven or eight kilometers away from Guihuaping Township, in the direction of Wangshan Management Area, there is a fork in the way, from the fork to the front about one kilometer, through a tunnel, suddenly in front of a wide open and bright, surrounded by mountains in the Sunshine Machinery Factory area in full view.

In front of the office building of the Sunshine Machinery Factory, the middle-level and above cadres who received the notice, although none of them wore military uniforms, still lined up in a neat line to greet Luo Xianjie and his party. The car stopped, and when Luo Xianjie and Han Feng got out of the car, Xu Yuanchao shouted at the people waiting in line: "Comrades, let us welcome General Luo and Commander Han to our Sunshine Machinery Factory to inspect and guide the work with warm applause!" ”

Although the military has been converted to civilian use, the disciplined forces are different, everyone heard the order, and neatly saluted Luo Xianjie and Han Feng with a standard military salute, and then applauded and welcomed; After the applause ended, Xu Yuanchao said: "Disband!" ”

After the disbandment, the cadres of the machinery factory came forward, shook hands with Luo Xianjie and others, and greeted them.

When Qian Jianguo, deputy director and director of Sunshine Frame Factory, shook hands with Yue Haohan, he joked: "Secretary Yue, are we going to try it alone tonight?" You made me miserable last time! ”

Yue Haohan smiled and said: "Director Qian, if you are at my age, I will definitely not be able to win you, I am also stained with the light of youth!" The two of us won't compete tonight, just accompany Commander Han in the evening, and we'll have some time to compare it another day. ”

Xu Yuanchao took everyone to visit the factory area first, the whole Sunshine Machinery Factory is very large, there are more than 20,000 factory members and their families living in the factory, the whole factory is full of people, schools, shops, song halls, vegetable fields, restaurants, etc., all of them are fully equipped, and it seems to be very prosperous and lively.

Luo Xianjie walked and admired the factory, and said: "This is all the credit of the third-line construction period, the situation at that time required, put forward above, dig deep holes, accumulate grain, and not dominate!" That's why these military industrial enterprises were built in the ravines, and our armament logistics all relied on the support of these factories and mines hidden in the ravines. ”

Xu Yuanchao said: "Old general, everyone has worn military uniforms all their lives, and they have deep feelings for the troops!" When I heard that the military had been transferred to civilian use, many comrades could not figure it out ideologically, and some veteran comrades even ran up to me and wept bitterly. ”

"I want to tell everyone, take off your military uniform and still be a soldier! After the military is converted into civilian use, it is necessary to make use of your funds and technology to grasp the efficiency of the factory, and at the same time, it is necessary to lead the masses around the factory area to develop a good economy; as long as we carry forward the fine traditions of our army, these third-tier enterprises will get out of the trough and will be invincible in the competition. Luo Xianjie looked at the high-rise buildings scattered around him and said.
