Chapter 491 Report on the Work of the Cabinet
He lit a cigarette and smoked it, He Xinming sat on the chair and waited for Xiao Zhenlei's instructions, this cigarette smoked for about ten minutes, Xiao Zhenlei snuffed out the cigarette butt and got up and walked to the back of the desk to open the drawer and take out half a plate of capsules from it, this is the anti-inflammatory drug that Cai Guodong gave him, brought from the twenty-first century, there is only one plate, a total of twelve special anti-inflammatory drugs, and penicillin is the same series of antibiotics, there is only half of the board here, the other half is in Cai Guodong's place, Cai Guodong gave Xiao Zhenlei half of it, also to prevent accidents, You know, in this day and age, the mortality rate of viral influenza is very high.
Xiao Zhenlei cut through the protective aluminum sheet and took out a capsule from it, then put the rest back in the drawer, walked to the sofa and sat down, put the capsule in an empty cigar box, pushed it in front of He Xinming and said: "Doctor He, this medicine can kill the tuberculosis bacteria you mentioned, and I am the only one in the world who has this medicine here, but I don't have many here, and the quantity is not enough to cure General Cai's illness, so I hope you will take this medicine back for research, and strive to develop a drug with the same composition to cure General Cai's illness in the shortest possible time, And if you can succeed, then it will be declared that tuberculosis is no longer a terminal disease, which is definitely a breakthrough in medicine! ”
He Xinming picked up the cigar box and looked at the rolling capsule inside, frowned and asked, "President, are you sure this thing can kill tuberculosis germs?" ”
Xiao Zhenlei turned his face blank and said sternly: "Doctor He, do you think I'm joking with you?" ”
He Xinming felt a change in the momentum around him, and only after listening to Xiao Zhenlei's words did he realize that he was too presumptuous, but the president was in front of him, could the president joke with himself? This is obviously impossible. He was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat, and hurriedly said, "No, no, no." That's not what I meant, President. I just can't believe it's true, there is a special drug for treating tuberculosis bacteria in this world, this is really shocking, uh, President, can I ask, where did you get this drug? Why is it only you? Looking at the line of this drug, it is obvious that it is an industrial product ??????".
"Doctor Ho!" Xiao Zhenlei shouted loudly.
He Xinming was so frightened that he involuntarily stood up and agreed: "Yes, big president!" ”
Xiao Zhenlei stared at him and said, "Don't ask why. Don't ask where this thing came from, you don't have the right to know, your task is to develop a drug with the same composition as it in the shortest possible time, using the most advanced medical equipment and all possible conditions, to find a way to produce it in industrial production, and to keep it secret from anyone, what you need, I will let the health department and the hospital side cooperate with you to the best of their ability, remember, keep it secret. It is not allowed to say to anyone, including your family, relatives and friends, even the director of the hospital and other responsible persons, if the news leaks out. You're the biggest sinner, you see? ”
He Xinming was already sweating profusely in fright, and he didn't dare to come out. Now that Xiao Zhenlei finished speaking, he reacted. Immediately agreed: "Yes, President." I understand, and I won't say to anyone, that I will do my best to develop this drug as soon as possible! ”
In fact, at this time, the medical conditions abroad are not necessarily better than those in China, after all, the real development of Western medicine only began from this period, and in the following two or three decades, the development of Western medicine did not make much progress, and the period of rapid development was after the end of World War II.
In another time and space history, penicillin was invented and industrialized and mass-produced, which was the result of the promotion of the US military during World War II, and if in this era, if the power of one country is fully supported, Xiao Zhenlei believes that a substantial breakthrough can be made in one or two years at the earliest.
If the penicillin series of antibiotics can be invented, it will be possible to put an end to many terminal diseases in this era, after all, the penicillin series of antibiotics have a lethal killing effect on the vast majority of germs.
After He Xinming left, Xiao Zhenlei personally made a phone call to Tao Huatao, the head of the Ministry of Health of the Cabinet, and asked him to personally take charge of He Xinming's research and development project, and report any progress in time.
Seeing that it is the end of the Lunar New Year in China, the atmosphere of the New Year is coming out, and the businessmen are busy settling the balance with their business partners, and they are busy settling the wages of the employees so that they can go home for a good New Year. The people are busy buying New Year's goods, the factories are busy completing the last order, the government departments are busy sorting out the completion of this year's work, busy formulating next year's work plan, busy making year-end government work summary, and even the central government is no exception.
After two years of work experience, Song Shijie has also begun to do a good job in the position of prime minister, and Xiao Zhenlei is also relieved to hand over more important things to him, and Song Shijie will handle it by himself, and he doesn't have to ask for instructions and report to him on everything.
On January 22, less than ten days before the Lunar New Year, Song Shijie came to see Xiao Zhenlei with his secretary and a briefcase, and reported to Xiao Zhenlei the summary report of this year's cabinet work.
Xiao Zhenlei spent a quarter of an hour reading the report, and then said: "Mr. Song has made great progress in the past two years, and he is fully qualified for the position of prime minister. ”
Song Shijie knew that Xiao Zhenlei called him Mr. to show respect, this is etiquette, of course he would not really think that Xiao Zhenlei treated him as a gentleman, he quickly got up and bowed down and said: "It is the great president who cultivates Shijie today, no matter what the future holds, Shijie will only be the head of the president!" Many of the work of the government and cabinet still need the guidance of the president so that we will not lose our way, and the work within the party needs the guidance of the president's ideology."
Xiao Zhenlei pointed at Song Shijie and smiled, shook his head and said: "Okay, I am still quite satisfied with the work of the cabinet this year, for next year's government work plan, do you have a specific plan for the cabinet?" Has the budget report for next year's government work been made? ”
"Yes" Song Shijie immediately took out two documents from his briefcase, one was the cabinet work plan for next year, and the other was the budget report.
Xiao Zhenlei took the two papers, first picked up next year's work plan report and looked at it, Song Shijie introduced when he read it: "President, in view of the foreign war in our country next year, the government will increase the issuance of treasury bonds, and at the same time, due to the increase in the demand for materials for the war, it is inevitable that prices will rise, and the cabinet will introduce corresponding measures to limit the excessive increase in prices, and increase the crackdown on those unscrupulous businessmen who wantonly hoard materials and make a fortune in the country!" ”
Xiao Zhenlei nodded while looking at it and said: "Well, the government does have to carry out a certain amount of administrative intervention in this regard, after all, China's new government has only been established for a few years, and the productivity is not enough to meet the general needs of the domestic people. ”
Song Shijie said: "What the president said is that China's market is not mature enough, if there is no certain planned economic regulation, it is impossible to let all the people in our country have enough to eat, to give a very simple example, in the past, China's grain production was enough for the people to eat, but most of the grain was controlled in the hands of the landlords, resulting in the vast majority of the people not having enough to eat, but now after the policies and measures introduced by our government let the farmers pay rent money to the landlords, and the farmers can control the purchase and sale of grain. If the price is low, you can choose to keep the grain and wait for the price to rise before selling, in addition, the government also stipulates the minimum purchase price of grain for businessmen, in addition, the government also buys grain for military rations, and grain merchants must bid higher than the government if they want to buy grain! ”
Xiao Zhenlei saw the previous item in the report, nodded and said: "Well, yes, next year to increase the construction of agricultural water conservancy facilities, it seems that this year will be very effective in the construction of water conservancy facilities in some provinces?" ”
Song Shijie nodded and said: "Yes, last year we carried out a large number of water conservancy facilities construction in some provinces with less rainfall in the north, and recently we found that the average grain yield of all provinces that have carried out the construction of water conservancy and irrigation facilities is two layers higher than in previous years, which is a common phenomenon rather than an exception, so it is necessary to increase the construction of water conservancy and irrigation facilities next year!" ”
"In addition, President, it has been a few years since the founding of the People's Republic of China, but a large part of the government departments still use the former Qing officials, these officials are more conservative in terms of thinking, and the bureaucratic thinking is extremely strict, not only that, there are many people in the government who eat idle food, these people do not work but get salaries, and usually five people and six people bully the people, and more importantly, there are too many officials in the government who exceed the establishment, for example, according to the regulations of the cabinet, Only officials at the level of the governor (equivalent to the mayor) and above can be equipped with a full-time secretary, but this regulation is in vain, many county magistrates, and even the chief officials of county-level subordinate units are equipped with full-time secretaries, and many government departments only need two people to do the work but there are four or five officials, I think that while the current situation is not too strict, it is necessary to come up with a feasible solution as soon as possible, so as not to shake the foundation of our rule if we want to solve it if it drags on in the future! ”
Xiao Zhenlei took a puff of cigarette and nodded: "Well, it is good to streamline government agencies and reduce financial expenditures, you can do this, you come up with a specific plan, this matter cannot be rushed, it will cause our official reserves to be insufficient if it is done too ruthlessly, I am going to carry out an official retirement system, officials must take a back seat when they reach a certain age, and leave the opportunity to young people, people are old, and their thinking is also rigid, so they can't always occupy that position and do nothing, but they don't give young people a chance, which is not good for the country."
Song Shijie hurriedly agreed: "Yes, President!" (To be continued......)
