Chapter 987 Liu Jingxue's Worry (2)
According to what the team leader said, the situation in the Red Star Production Team was very good. Zhao Junhao was even more puzzled as to what Liu Jingxue was thinking about so intently.
"Liu Zhiqing, isn't the situation in our production team pretty good? What on earth are you worried about? You don't even pay attention to the road when you ride your bike."
Liu Jingxue did not hide anything and said directly, "Our production team is pretty good, but what about other production teams and other communes?
This epidemic has affected a wide range of people.”
“Yes, I have submitted my formula, but it will take some time for the medicine to be made and delivered here.
You all know the current production capacity and efficiency of our country's factories. We cannot take care of all patients in a short period of time.
What's more, treatment takes time, and after recovering from the illness, the patient needs to be isolated for a few more days to prevent the virus from spreading to other people.
As a result, it will be impossible for other production teams to not delay spring ploughing."
The three of them couldn't help but think about it after hearing this.
Indeed, according to normal thinking, medicines are generally first distributed to places with more patients, and then to places with fewer patients.
There are many people in the town, and the population is densely populated, so there are more sick people than in the production teams and communes below.
Newly produced drugs from the pharmaceutical factory would most likely be distributed to the town first, with any surplus then slowly distributed to the communes and production teams below.
The production team was at the end of their rope, with only ten days left, so delays in production were inevitable.
The captain couldn't help but frown.
"If the higher-ups gave priority to giving medicine to the production teams below, wouldn't this situation have happened?" the team leader hesitated.
Zhou Mingxuan shook his head, "That won't work.
Spring ploughing is important, but the factories in the town are now shut down and they are also anxious to resume production.
Many factories are industries related to people's livelihood. If they stop operating for a long time, there will be big chaos.
On the contrary, in spring ploughing, various crops do not need to be sown at the same time.
If there is a delay, the land can be planted with another crop, and the loss can at least be compensated.”
Having stayed in the countryside for nearly two years, Zhou Mingxuan had some understanding of the conditions of spring plowing, so he said this.
The captain had no way to refute this, but he still had a different opinion.
“Having said that, different crops are different and each has its own uses.
If we delay the planting of our main staple food, even if we plant other crops, how will we get food next year? "
"I think you are overthinking it. The higher-ups will definitely take these situations into consideration and will definitely make a comprehensive consideration and be biased.
We think too much and cannot make decisions for the higher-ups, so we might as well do our own thing." Zhao Junhao disagreed.
"Yes, Liu Zhiqing, what Haozi said is right.
What were you struggling with just now? "
“I was just wondering if there was anything I could do to help.
But my eldest and second brothers came over and repeatedly stressed that I must not reveal my pharmaceutical skills to anyone outside the production team. Since the plague medicine was developed by me, it was even more impossible for me to reveal it to anyone else.
So how can I help?"
"With the medicinal materials our production team currently has in stock, there is absolutely no problem in preparing some medicine to treat the plague.
In addition to keeping some herbs for backup, it shouldn't be a problem to treat another 100 or 200 people. This should be of some use."
Liu Jingxue shrugged and said helplessly, "But I can't be exposed, so I can't take the medicine out.
The epidemic is so serious now, and so many doctors have failed to cure it. How can anyone outside our production team believe any random medicine that they claim can cure the disease?"
“But I feel a little unwilling to just watch and do nothing.
I was so absorbed in this matter that I didn’t look at the road and bumped into it.”
"About one or two hundred people," the team leader calculated, "if the situation of other production teams is similar to ours, then we can cure almost all the people in two production teams.
There are still about ten days before the spring plowing begins. The patients in our production team will recover in about four or five days. Adding the quarantine time afterwards, ten days will be enough.
That will help the two production teams not to delay spring ploughing.”
“It can also help relieve some of the burden on those above.
The medicines that were originally distributed to them can now be used by patients in other production teams, so that patients in other production teams can recover quickly and start spring ploughing as soon as possible." Zhou Mingxuan added.
I have to say, the captain was really moved.
The Red Star Production Team has taken root here for so many years and has multiplied for so many generations. Who doesn't have relatives and friends in other production teams?
My own production team will soon see the light of day, so how could I not think about the production team we are on good terms with?
Not to mention anything else, just say that his daughter married into Liushugou.
The Red Star Production Team and Liushugou have always had a good relationship, and they had even been fighting against Director Na Xin.
They married each other so many times that many families in the two production teams were relatives.
In addition to helping relatives, if he could take this opportunity to win over the two production teams, then if there were any good things in the commune in the future, they would not be able to compete with him due to their personal relationships.
Besides, they had to show some appreciation for the villagers who saved them.
Anyway, the medicinal herbs are just left there. When spring comes and flowers bloom, the villagers can go to the mountains to pick some older ones.
It would be better to put these old goods to good use and bring some benefits to the production team.
But how to do it?
“Xiaoxue must not be exposed, and the medicine cannot be delivered to others, lest they don’t believe it and throw it away, wouldn’t that be a waste.
Zhou Zhiqing, Zhao Zhiqing, do you have any ideas?" The captain asked the two men for advice.
“As you know, there are many married women in our production team, and the villagers have been clamoring to go and see them.
After all the patients in the production team have recovered, they will probably be even more restless.
In that case, we might as well tell them about the situation outside, discuss a solution, and provide some help.
If they sneak out and get infected with the virus, it would be bad.”
The captain did not hide his utilitarian thoughts.
"In fact, I also thought that if I could help other production teams, cure the patients and not delay production, our production team would also have more friends.
If there is anything good happening in the future, I can get it with the help of these friends."
The captain's thoughts are not actually utilitarian. After all, everyone has selfish desires and will definitely make more plans for themselves.
Although Liu Jingxue, Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao were not villagers of the Red Star Production Team, they also served as educated youth in the production team and naturally hoped that the production team would be good.
Since the captain asked them for advice, Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao naturally couldn't keep silent.
After the two of them talked quietly for a few words, Zhou Mingxuan spoke as a representative.
"There are ways to help other production teams while hiding Liu Zhiqing."
