Chapter 1420: A Difficult World
Initially, Song Qing, Kong Lingjie, and Chen Liang all had the idea of penicillin, and they all wanted to take penicillin into their own hands and make a lot of money.
And now, even the British have already taken action, and they suspect that the Americans and Germans will probably do whatever it takes to get penicillin, and if that is the case, it will be too difficult for them to get a piece of the penicillin cake.
Although the previous business with Trojan County, steel and cement and threshing machines and the like, they also made a lot of money, but compared with penicillin, these businesses are simply chicken ribs and not worth mentioning.
Thinking of this, the faces of the three of them were not very good-looking.
"Don't do that, three!"
Seeing the faces of the three of them, how could Sun Liang not know what the three of them were thinking, and said with a smile: "We are business partners, what good will we forget you?" Don't worry, the head of the regiment will definitely make arrangements for you......"
Hearing this, the faces of the three of them finally looked better, they knew that the big head of penicillin was definitely hopeless, and it was a good thing for them to be able to eat a little leftovers.
"What are you doing with them? Didn't the regiment commander say that penicillin was a life-saving medicine for the wounded, and he would never allow anyone to profit from it! ”
After the three of them left, Ma Yunshan said angrily: "Except for Song Qing, who may want to do something serious with penicillin, Kong Lingjie and Chen Liang are all guys who have gotten into the eyes of money, if penicillin falls into their hands, what do you think those wounded can do?" ”
"Of course I do!"
Sun Liang sneered and said: "But our head of the regiment came to Chongqing, but it is really a shallow water for Longyou, so I have to ask the three of them to help, and if you don't give the three of them a little sweetness, do you think they will be desperate to help us do things?" ”
Ma Yunshan stopped talking, after all, this is the truth.
No matter how majestic Lu Yuan is behind the enemy, but when you come to Chongqing, that is, the tiger falls in Pingyang and the dragon swims in shallow water, and there are three major families of land snakes pressing, and many things are much more convenient to do.
……
Outside of Chongqing, the green mountains are verdant, the crops in the fields are almost ripe, and the air is filled with the unique fragrance of grain.
Everywhere there were people busy in the fields, their thin bodies and swarthy faces, and every wrinkle was filled with misery.
No matter what kind of world they are in, the people are the hardest, for thousands of years, it has been like this, and maybe thousands of years later, it will still be the same, let alone in this era of war and chaos.
Sichuan belongs to the rear, although there is no danger of war, but the people here are not much better than the people who are deep in the war.
The people of Sichuan, not only contributed millions of soldiers, but also bear almost one-third of the country's taxes, almost most of these crops will be requisitioned as military rations, and the rest will be exploited by the landlords.
However, when they saw the crops that were about to be harvested, the eyes of the people were somewhat bright, as if they were looking at a newborn baby, because it was the harvest of their hard work, even if most of it would not belong to them.
In the distance, a group of twenty or thirty people walked along the avenue, and when they looked at the posture of those people walking, they knew that the other party was either a soldier or a bandit, because each of them had a murderous aura in their eyes, and even if they were full of the most amiable smiles on their faces, they could not hide it.
Among these people there were several carriages, beautiful women watching from the windows, and a little girl jumping up and down incessantly, and from time to time bursts of laughter like silver bells.
The busy people lowered their heads, not daring to look at it anymore, and no one knew when disaster would befall them.
But the carriage stopped beside them.
"Uncle, how far is it from here to Chongqing?"
A young man who looked less than twenty years old came over and asked, but he spoke very politely.
"Over that mountain is Chongqing!"
One of the people pointed to the sky and said, "If you go faster, you should be able to reach the city before dark!" ”
"Thank you, uncle, I also want to ask, is there anyone in your area? Two women with how many children? The child is about ten years old......" the young man asked, gesturing.
"There are many people who have fled, but they are all dragged with their families, and there are two women with a few children, so there is no ......."
The people said, "Who are you?" Separated? ”
"yes, got separated......"
The young man nodded in thanks, returned to the group with a disappointed face, whispered something, and the team began to move forward again.
"I guess the official went to Chongqing to report on his work, right?"
The people looked at the departing procession and discussed, and then the topic shifted to the women and children who were being searched, shaking their heads and sighing: "Oh, two women fled with several children, hey......"
Everyone understands how difficult life must be for a woman with a child in this world, who is uprooted from her hometown.
The team, of course, is a long way.
Hearing Niu Pimple's report, Lu Yuan suppressed the disappointment in his heart and knocked on the carriage and said with a smile: "Everyone hurry up and strive to get to Chongqing before dark!" ”
"Understood, big brother!"
Everyone laughed and quickened their pace, these days have been on the road continuously, everyone is tired and tired, when they arrive in Chongqing, they can have a good meal and sleep peacefully.
"Well, it's finally here - it's finally time to eat something delicious in the evening!"
Xiaohua smiled happily, jumping in the carriage, the whole carriage began to squeak and sway, this girl was like a serious illness on the boat, and now she is completely alive, and she refuses to live for a moment.
"What about the underwhelming? Sit tight! ”
Long Yun raised his eyebrows and said angrily, Xiaohua quickly shrank behind Lin Shiwen, shouting for help at Lu Yuan.
When it was dark, the team finally entered Chongqing,
The mountain town reflected in the sunset is full of people and bustling, and the dilapidated streets are in stark contrast.
"So many people......"
Looking at the pedestrians coming and going on the street, Lin Shiwen couldn't help but say that Anyuan is simply a mountain nest compared to this place.
It's just that there are many people, but most of them are yellow-skinned, thin-skinned, and ragged, and there are beggars of all ages begging for alms.
Most of the people in Chongqing are people who have fled from all over the country, and a small number of relocated government employees and soldiers have made this mountain town, which was already dilapidated by bombing and poverty, full of a bit of slaughter and desolation.
