Chapter 141: Joint War against the Epidemic
After determining the pathogen and prevention plan of silkworm disease, Zhao Gongzi held a joint anti-epidemic meeting called 'Spring Thunder Action' in the large conference hall of Jiangnan Building three days later.
The meeting was attended by members of the board of directors and strategic decision-making committee of the group, and heads of various departments of the group.
There are also Li Shizhen, Dean of Jiangnan Medical College, Ma Yilong, Dean of the College of Agriculture, and the heads of Jiangnan Bank, Jiangnan Textile, Jiangnan Manufacturing Company's Precision Instrument Factory, and Jiangnan Pesticide Factory, Jiangnan Chemical.
As well as the heads of development companies in 61 counties in the ten prefectures of Jiangnan, they all gathered together to listen to Zhao Gongzi's important speech.
"There is a way that there are no idlers in Jiangnan in April, and everyone is in charge of a stall, and they are all busy people." On the rostrum, Zhao Hao said loudly to more than 100 people in the audience: "Some people must be muttering in their hearts, for the sake of silkworm disease in only six counties, call all our fifty-five counties, and give such a domineering name, is it a big fuss?" ”
How dare everyone in the audience squeak, even if they really think so in their hearts, under the gaze of Zhao Gongzi, they don't dare to show anything.
"No, it's not a big deal! First, the silkworm disease broke out in only one county the year before last, spread to three counties last year, and six counties this year. If this trend continues, more than a dozen counties next year will be half of the south of the Yangtze River the year after next, and all counties will not be spared in the year after tomorrow. So put away the thoughts that are not on my mind and hang high! ”
"Yes." More than 100 people in the audience were busy answering together.
Second, this is related to the success or failure of the group's fundamental strategy. Jiangnan Group engages in the integration of Jiangnan in order to divide labor and cooperate, communicate with each other, complement each other's advantages, and achieve common prosperity. Zhao Hao continued to say sonorously:
"But everything has its advantages and disadvantages, and the disadvantage of regional division of labor lies in the single economic structure of the prefecture and county, and the poor ability to resist risks. For example, Songjiang Prefecture is dominated by cotton planting and cotton spinning, and if a certain year, there is a large-scale reduction in cotton production or even no harvest due to pests and diseases, then the people of Songjiang Prefecture will have to drink the northwest wind. ”
Everyone in the audience, especially the heads of the county development companies, showed solemn expressions. Small-scale peasant economy, dependent on the weather for food, everyone has experienced the disaster of floods, droughts, locusts and hailstorms, and has tasted the pain of suddenly losing the harvest throughout the year.
Originally, they could still buy people's land at a low price after the disaster, and make a sum of ill-gotten wealth to return blood. But the dynasty is almost two hundred years old, and the entire land in the south of the Yangtze River has been annexed, and they have no land to buy land if they want to. So all the losses can only be borne by themselves......
"Our Jiangnan Group vigorously promotes integration, not to aggravate the suffering of the people in Jiangnan. On the contrary, it is necessary to strengthen the ability of the people in the 61 counties south of the Yangtze River to resist risks. Zhao Hao said and waved his hand heavily: "So how to do this?" Without it, everyone is for me, I am for everyone! If a county suddenly suffers a loss of 100,000 taels, there will be many tragedies. But if sixty counties and the group help it share the burden, then all the counties only need to contribute more than 1,000 taels to help this county easily and tide over the difficulties when they are in disaster! ”
"This means that when one side is in trouble, all sides will support. Unite as one to overcome the difficulties together! Zhao Gongzi's infectious voice resounded in the large conference hall.
"We must share both joys and sorrows, and believe that nothing in this world can defeat us, and our Jiangnan will have a better future!"
A tidal wave of applause rang out, and all the participants gave a standing ovation, feeling proud and responsible for being in the strong and benevolent organization of Jiangnan Group.
"Childe, please give the order!" People excitedly said.
"Okay, then I announce that I and President Jiang, Director Wang, Dean Ma, Dean Li, Pan, and Xiang will form the Spring Thunder Action Leading Group!" Zhao Gongzi announced loudly.
Pan is Pan Shujun, the third brother of Pan Jitao, the chairman of Changguang Coal Industry and the chairman of Wucheng Development Company, and the representative of Huzhou's local faction.
Xiang Yuanqi is Xiang Yuanbian's eldest brother, chairman of Jiaxing Development Company and chairman of Jiaxing Silk Weaving Company, and a representative of Jiaxing's local faction.
"This time, if you want to make a big move in Huzhou and Jiaxing, you must rely on the full cooperation of the squires of the two provinces." Zhao Hao glanced at the two of them meaningfully.
Pan Shujun belonged to Zhao Hao's iron core, and immediately resounded the mountain of the chest faction: "Childe just commands, guarantee that the order is forbidden, and if you can't complete the task, I'll come to see you!" ”
Seeing that the oily-headed and slippery old Pan was so resolute, Xiang Yuanqi had no choice but to resolutely say: "I will also make a military order in the next place, eliminate all difficulties, and resolutely implement the son's intentions to the end!" ”
"Okay, that's what you want." Zhao Hao nodded approvingly, and continued: "This time, the three counties in Huzhou were less affected, if we deal with it decisively, the local government can also work together, and we can extinguish the epidemic in time without affecting the cultivation of summer silkworms!" ”
"yes, then we'll have to cooperate even more!" Pan Shujun was overjoyed.
"The epidemic in the three counties of Jiaxing is more serious, but the group will focus on investing manpower, material and financial resources, and it will not make you too uncomfortable!" Zhao Hao said to Xiang Yuanqi again.
"Yes, please rest assured, we will resolutely obey the arrangement!" Xiang Yuanqi also nodded heavily.
"Okay." Zhao Hao nodded, turned his gaze to the rest of the people, and in order to show his attention, he personally announced the specific task.
"In order to prevent the spread of silkworm disease, isolation is a top priority. I order that from now on, all silkworm houses in the six affected counties must be closed immediately. Silkworm eggs, mulberry leaves, silkworm sand, silkworm pupa, white zombie silkworms, raw silk, silk and other silkworm-related items are prohibited from flowing out of the six counties. After a pause, he ordered in a deep voice: "This matter will be completed by the six county development companies led by Pan Xiang and others, and the local government will be asked to support it as appropriate." ”
"Understood!" The two of them echoed in unison again.
"The above-mentioned items, as well as all mulberry trees, silkworm farmers' homes, clothes, farm tools, and all items in the house, must be uniformly and thoroughly disinfected." Zhao Hao then said in a deep voice: "This matter is handled by the county development companies to transfer a total of 500 agricultural technicians, 300 cannon colleges, and 800 strong men to be unified under the leadership of Dean Ma to carry out collective sanitization!" ”
"Understood." On such a serious occasion, Ma Yilong couldn't dismantle Zhao Hao's platform, so he also responded loudly.
"The silk produced in the six counties is purchased by the textile group and purified with sulfur and then put into storage." Zhao Hao commanded Liu Zhengqi in a deep voice.
"Yes." Liu Zhengqi hurriedly won loudly.
"Jiangnan Bank counts the losses of each company, calculates the amount of compensation, and handles loan reduction. First, the group shall be responsible for the loss. Zhao Hao greeted Jiang Xue again.
"Understood." President Jiang responded crisply.
"The next thing is to deal with silkworm rust in the three counties of Jiaxing." Zhao Hao cleared his throat and said to Li Shizhen:
"The most critical work of identifying sick moths is the medical students of the School of Medicine led by Dean Li."
Even if you look at a fluttering moth, you have to use a microscope to see the black particles. A microscope that is so expensive in medical school, of course, cannot be fiddled with by agricultural technicians. And even if you teach them, it is inevitable that there will be mistakes and omissions when you first get started, it doesn't matter if you kill the moth in vain, there are moths that slip through the net can lead to the loss of previous efforts.
So for the sake of prudence, Zhao Gongzi handed over this key task to Jiangnan Medical College.
Medical schools also have the strength to take on this burden. The three giants are all the divine doctors of the world, and even their disciples are all famous doctors who have been famous for a long time...... Wan Mizhai has ten sons, all of whom are doctors, including internal medicine, surgery, gynecology and pediatrics.
Li Shizhen was stimulated by his father when he was alive and did not allow his grandson to study medicine, so his four sons are currently in Yufeng Academy. However, he has ten disciples such as Pang Xian and Pang Lu, all of whom have been with him for many years.
Li Yuanming is a little younger, and he also has six outstanding surgical disciples.
In addition, there are several young famous doctors such as Miao Xiyong, who either joined or were recruited by the three to join Jiangnan Hospital.
In short, there are more than 30 famous doctors in Jiangnan Hospital, each of whom has ten disciples, that is, more than 300 medical students.
This luxurious lineup is almost catching up with the hospital.
Several prefects strongly invited Jiangnan Hospital to open Jiangnan Second and Third Hospitals in Suzhou, Hangzhou, Jinling and other places. But the Big Three insist that the introduction of science has had too much impact on traditional medicine. From the theoretical system to the diagnosis and clinical practice, it must be adjusted in an all-round and drastic way.
Therefore, it is not advisable to rashly distract our energies, but we should first concentrate our efforts on completing the reform and cultivating qualified scientific and medical personnel......
Qualified talents naturally refer to 300 medical students.
Medical students are asked to forget about medical books and all previous experiences, and to learn human anatomy and microscopic observation of cells, tissues, and germs from scratch...... It's been more than a year since they entered school, and they have been dealing with microscopes in addition to fiddling with knives.
However, Jiangnan Hospital and Medical College combined, there are only 100 microscopes in total. There are also some hospitals that have to be used daily, so the number is far from enough.
So Zhao Hao ordered the precision instrument factory to stop all work, go all out, work overtime, and produce a simple microscope - if you look at the moth, it is enough to magnify it a hundred times.
With this kind of multiple, there is no need to grind a very small lens, just combine two ordinary 10x lenses. There is no need to install a stage, just make it in the style of a monocular, and you can zoom through the telescopic tube...... The precision instrument factory produces a large number of monoculars for the Tamna Garrison Area and Jiangnan Security Group, so the materials are very sufficient. According to Zhao Gongzi's instructions, if you go all out to change production, you can make hundreds of them in a short time.
In addition, Jiangnan Chemical's pesticide factory should also prepare enough lime slurry, sulfur, wood essence, alum and other disinfectant ingredients in the shortest possible time, and transport them to the six counties for on-site configuration of Ma Yilong Group.
Finally, each county should also collect silkworm seeds as much as possible to make up for the losses in the six counties and help them resume production as soon as possible.
After the meeting, people from all walks of life took the order and left. The growing machine of the Jiangnan Group turned violently, mobilizing the manpower and material resources of the ten counties in the south of the Yangtze River, and continuously pouring towards the six disaster-stricken counties......
Ps. Let's do this today, go to bed early, and try to start writing tomorrow morning.
