Chapter 146 Deputy Chief Wu’s insidiousness
Zhu Xingchen continued his analysis:
"There are few procurement tasks in the northwest region, so it is not very realistic to arrange for Lin Sanqi to go on business trips all day long. Other regions have heavy tasks, but Lin Sanqi is not in charge of the area, so everyone is trying to figure out how to move Lin Sanqi to other regions. Go?”
"Yes!"
Yang Xiaoqing and others fell into deep thought upon hearing this.
"But the regional division of labor has just been completed. It has only been more than a month since it was adjusted. I'm afraid it will be difficult to pass through Kong Shuihu. In addition, among the six major regions in the country, the northwest is the worst. There are wolves there. Who among us is willing to follow him?" Change Sanqi?”
Even if he is willing to go to the northwest, he will not let Lin Sanqi pick the cadre peach.
Deputy Section Chief Wu’s eyes were sparkling at this time, and he obviously had the pearl of wisdom in his mind:
"This matter is easy to handle."
The people who were chattering at first fell silent and looked at Deputy Section Chief Wu.
The medicine depot has already reported that we need to purchase more than a dozen traditional Chinese medicines such as Phyllostachys sibiricum, Phyllostachys sibiricum, Echinacea striata, Curcuma zedoary, Cassia cassia, andrographis paniculata, etc. Think about it, what are the characteristics of these Chinese medicinal materials? ”
Speaking of this, Li Zexu, who is in charge of procurement in South China, has the most say:
"I am familiar with these medicinal herbs. Phyllostachys sibiricum, Hespermum sibiricum, Echinacea cordata, Curcuma zedoary, Cassia cassia and Andrographis paniculata are all mainly concentrated in South China."
Speaking of this, Li Zexu suddenly paused, his eyes lit up, and he said excitedly:
"I understand, Section Chief Wu, I understand."
Yang Xiaoqing and Zhu Xingchen were filled with questions: "What do you understand?"
Deputy Section Chief Wu just drank water and smiled without saying a word.
Li Zexu suddenly took out a national map from his front bag and explained to everyone:
"As you can see, the main production area of chicken bone grass is Yulin in Guangqi, and the main production area of zedoary is in Qin County; the main production area of phylloxera is Meizhou in Dongguang Province; the main production area of fernia is Zhanjiang; the main production area of andrographis is Hu Jian The main producing area of Zhangpu and Shi Cassia is Putian.
If Lin Sanqi wanted to purchase these six herbs, even though the quantity was small, he would have to travel all over three provinces and six cities in South China, and he would have to climb mountains and ridges, go to the sky and go to the sea. It would be miserable.
Look at these places like Yulin, Qinxian, and Meizhou. They are all in the mountains, with inconvenient transportation. The climate is stuffy and humid. They are standard ghost places.
And Zhanjiang, Zhangpu, and Putian are all on the seaside. These places were the places where criminal officials were exiled in ancient times. Think about how much better this environment could be. After one run, the sun peeled off three layers of skin.
The key point is that there are no direct trains between these three provinces and six places. You can only take cars, oxcarts and horse-drawn carriages, and finally have to walk. After traveling to so many places, it is estimated that you will not be able to come back in two or three months. ”
Deputy Section Chief Wu answered the call and reminded:
"It takes two or three months for one trip. If we arrange three or four business trips for him a year, he will hardly have to stay in the capital, and our hospital of traditional Chinese medicine will have no room for him. Even if Dean Shen wants to No care can be taken of him.”
Li Zexu added:
“These places are not only far away, but also very dangerous on the road. Not to mention the green forest heroes in the mountains, even those venomous snakes, insects and rats in the tropical rain forest, if they are bitten, it may be too late to rescue them in the wild.
Every time I go to these places to purchase medicinal materials, I have to go with Bi Chunlong and Liao Zhanying. I also have to ask local comrades to be our guides and form a team of four or five people before we dare to set off. If Lin Sanqi went to the mountains and sea alone, Hehe..."
Zhu Xingchen and Yang Xiaoqing suddenly realized: "Oh~~~"
"But, no, no, the problem is back to the original point. Lin Sanqi is in charge of the northwest, how can we get him to south China?"
In 1959, the country's economic center of gravity was in the north, while the south was still an agricultural society with a small-scale peasant economy and was very poor.
At least in the eyes of the people in the capital, South China is a standard backcountry, only slightly better than the northwest.
Take Dongguang Province for example. At that time, almost all the smart, clever and ambitious people went to the Pearl of the Orient because the mainland was too poor.
Deputy Section Chief Wu snorted:
“Isn’t it easy for Lin Sanqi to go to the three provinces of South China?
Li Zexu, please go back and tell Bi Chunlong and Liao Zhanying that the three of you will find a way to claim your illness at the same time. You will not be able to go to work, or at least you will not be able to travel long distances. You will figure out what medical certificates are needed on your own.
Yang Xiaoqing and Zhu Xingchen, you two will also receive some purchasing tasks tomorrow. I will arrange for you to go on a business trip to your respective jurisdictions, and you must ensure that you cannot come back within half a month.
In this way, the only person left in the capital for our procurement is Lin Sanqi. When the time comes, I will arrange the procurement task. Under the premise that Li Zexu and the other two are unable to travel due to illness, we can only ask Lin Sanqi to temporarily take over. You have to go even if you don’t want to. ”
Yang Xiaoqing laughed loudly after hearing this:
"Yes, yes, he dares not go? That's fine. Why should he be a cadre? Being a cadre means leading by example. This is to make him trapped in a cocoon."
Li Zexu also clapped his hands excitedly:
"We won't set any problems for him, but I won't lend him my connections in South China, Lin Sanqi, and let him figure out his own solution, wandering around the three provinces of South China like a headless fly. If he can't complete the task, then Just in time, we can take the opportunity to attack again, haha.”
Deputy Section Chief Wu made another point at this time:
"Young people can't endure hardships. Even if they can endure hardships, they can't withstand blows. We are trying to change Lin Sanqi's mentality and make him feel busy, tired and restless every day. One day, his spirit will collapse. People will be useless!" Li Zexu, Zhu Xingchen, and Yang Xiaoqing were secretly shocked when they heard this. This is a standard murder.
It seems that it is better not to offend this deputy section chief in the future, he is too cruel, shady and poisonous...
Sure enough, the next day, Li Zexu, Bi Chunlong, and Liao Zhanying were traveling at the same time. As a result, a traffic accident occurred. All three were injured at the same time and were sent to the Railway General Hospital for hospitalization.
Section Chief Kong didn't take it seriously. He just felt that several of his subordinates were quite unlucky, so he personally carried a few cans to the hospital to visit him.
Seeing the three subordinates wrapped in gauze on the hospital bed, as the saying goes, it takes a hundred days to break the muscles and bones, so Section Chief Kong readily granted him half a month's sick leave.
On the third day, Yang Xiaoqing and Zhu Xingchen also received procurement tasks and were arranged to go on a business trip.
Up to this point, the Purchasing Department was still calm and nothing happened.
Lin Sanqi clocked in to work normally every day, and then disappeared without a trace. In fact, he went to play as a "tourist".
In 1959, many ancient buildings in Peiping were still well preserved. Except for the city wall, other Ming and Qing buildings were original and of great significance to the times.
For example, the Ten Thousand Buddhas Tower in Beihai Park, which once displayed ten thousand golden Buddhas, and the small railway in Cixi's garden are all still preserved.
This small railway connects Beihai Park and the Forbidden City. It is the first railway in China. It can still be seen in 1959. In the future...
Another example is the Daqing Shou Temple on the south side of West Chang'an Street. There are two nine-story pagodas built in the Yuan Dynasty. One large and one small are very simple, majestic and full of beauty.
In addition, with Daqing Shou Temple as the center, there are now very traditional and beautiful archways preserved on East Gong'an Street, Justice Street, Chaoyang Gate, Fucheng Gate, and in front of Dongdan, Xidan, Xisi, and the temples of previous emperors.
Many tourists only remember the seven-series archway group in Tangyue, Huangshan, Hui Province. Even the Qiong Yao drama "Smoke Locked in the Tower" was filmed here.
Everyone feels that these seven archways not only embody the ethics of "loyalty, filial piety, festival, and righteousness" of Cheng-Zhu Neo-Confucianism in Huizhou culture, but they are also important witnesses of Huizhou merchants' dominance in the business world for more than three hundred years.
But the seven archways in Tangyue are nothing compared to the archways in Sijiucheng in the 1950s. There is no way to compare them.
It was a private archway, which could not be compared with the royal-style grand archway. It could only be regarded as the younger brother in terms of exquisiteness and scale.
But even with such a beautiful group of archways, Lin Sanqi knew that she only had a few more years to "live".
Soviet aid experts even proposed to demolish the Forbidden City and turn this prime piece of land into a modern administrative center. Fortunately, Comrade Xiangyu insisted on it, otherwise future generations may not even be able to see the Forbidden City.
So Lin Sanqi wanted to take advantage of the time and opportunity to visit Sijiu City in 1959. It would be best to record it. It can also be used for commemoration and research in the future, right?
But if you ask Lin Sanqi to take a selfie stick with her mobile phone and then walk around the streets to take pictures like a self-media person, then she is not delivering food to the aunts in other alleys and catching spies.
Finally, they were imprisoned and sliced for processing.
So the most important thing is to buy a camera.
Lin Sanqi came out of the unit and walked slowly towards Wangfujing. Here are some of the largest shopping malls in the capital, where you can buy everything you want.
When he arrived at Wangfujing, he first drank a bowl of mutton soup at Dong'an Market. When he came out, he burped and smelled of mutton.
Don't ask if others don't have enough to eat, why did Lin Sanqi burp? After asking, he ate the mutton soup for two people, plus two biscuits. Anyway, he was not short of tickets and money.
When I ran out of money, I went to the black market. When I ran out of tickets, I went to Qin Ming, who opened a printing workshop...
After eating and drinking, we walked across the street and arrived at the Peking Department Store.
This is the first large-scale department store retail store invested and built by the state in the history of New China, and is known as the "No. 1 Store in New China."
Of course, the architectural styles of this era were all imitation of the Soviet style. They were all square and grand at first glance, but then they looked monotonous and devoid of beauty. Anyway, Lin Sanqi didn’t like them very much.
Although it was only after 9 a.m., the department store was already very busy at this time.
As an internet celebrity check-in place in the 1950s, the Peking Department Store is a must-visit place for everyone who comes to the capital on business, even if they can’t afford to buy it, it’s a good idea to visit it.
The key is that there are many things that cannot be bought elsewhere.
People with a little bit of conditions will ask relatives and friends who are on business trips to the capital to help bring some things, just like in the 1980s, relatives and friends who went abroad were asked to bring things.
Lin Sanqi thought that she was quite lucky to have traveled to the capital in 1959.
