The Anti-Japanese War Begins with the Northeast Army

Chapter 393 Special Medicine

Sun Zhengnan was confused by his words: "Sir, what do you mean? Even if we bought it from the British, they would definitely raise the price when they sell it to us. We will still make a profit!"

Jiang Cheng didn't say anything, but Zhang Tinglan, who was sitting at the top officer's desk and helping him process documents, laughed: "Feilan, look, this is the difference between a villain and a gentleman--"

"We found out about this and think it's a good opportunity to trick the Japanese. Staff Officer Sun still thinks the Japanese can make money from us!"

Jiang Cheng turned around and joked with him: "Go to hell, the idea was thought up by the Second Young Master. How could we two have the brains to do it?"

The exchange of words completely confused the top student from Yanda University, but Jiang Cheng suddenly said, "Why don't we just not buy his medicine? If he rots in his hands, won't he lose a lot of money?"

what?
Sun Zhengnan thought so too, but how could no one buy this special medicine? The poor cannot afford it and can only be treated in the isolation area; but there are also many rich people in Changchun, so they can always sell it.

The Japs can still make money!
"Have all the medicines for Siping arrived?"

Jiang Cheng showed a smug smile, "Let's go to the quarantine area. This time, Master Jiang, I will personally urge the so-called clinical trial!"

…………

Twenty minutes later, the three senior officials from Jilin Province simultaneously arrived at the second isolation zone located at Kuanchengzi Station, opposite the Japanese territory.

Needless to say, Jiang Cheng made such arrangements to show them to the Japanese on the other side.

In fact, during the Republic of China, many disasters and epidemics broke out in China. This is completely different from the administrative officials in the 21st century. In this era, we have heard of opening a charity hall or a porridge factory.

However, this young senior official was the first to admit patients on a large scale like their General Jiang and set up an isolation area with free food, accommodation and medical care.

As soon as his convoy stopped at the quarantine zone, the Japanese troops on duty in Kuanchengzi became alert.

Looking at the soldiers guarding the gate standing in neat formation and saluting, you can tell that some important person is coming in this convoy.

"Hey, you! Hurry up and inform Commander Suzuki!"

Because the area was not too far from the Japanese-controlled territory, Jiang Cheng, who had just gotten off the car, noticed out of the corner of his eye that the Japanese soldiers on the opposite side were startled... Some of them turned around, stretched out their short legs, and walked away panting.

"They saw you, the great commander, coming and reported it to their superiors, right?"

Zhang Tinglan's eyes were slightly cold, and a sneer appeared at the corners of his lips.

"I take care of my own people, but I also have to worry about what these devils think. Am I tired?"

Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes at the Japanese soldiers who were making a lot of noise and were already on guard in the distance;

Then he straightened his military jacket and walked into the isolated area which looked like a military alert zone, surrounded by guards.

Because the isolation area here is for the Japanese to see... Jiang Cheng deliberately arranged for patients to be sent here first; moreover, the tents and other equipment, and even the doctors arranged are all the best.

Hearing that their military commander was coming, Zhang Fushan, who was in charge of security here, had people clean up the quarantine area early.
But even so, Jiang Cheng still smelled a strong smell of disinfectant mixed with the stench of various human excrement. Zhang Tinghui formulated strict sanitation management items for the quarantine area, and the epidemic prevention team implemented them according to the regulations: disinfection twice a day, morning and evening, unified food distribution, public toilets dug deep and sprinkled with lime in layers, etc.

The neatly arranged military tents were filled with patients. After proper medical treatment, some of those with better resistance had recovered some of their strength.
These ordinary people had never seen Jiang Cheng, but seeing several fully armed guards surrounding this handsome young man, they thought he must be a high-ranking official in the city.

Upon hearing that this was the governor of Jilin, some who were strong enough even jumped out of bed and almost kowtowed to express their gratitude to this great governor.

In an instant, the tent was filled with praises. Jiang Cheng smiled knowingly and motioned for everyone to be quiet: "As a governor, I should stand with you to fight this kind of serious epidemic together."

"Everyone should treat their illness well. During this period of disaster, Jilin Finance will cover everyone's food, drink and medicines—"

"Haha, you don't have to worry about not being able to work after you recover. Jiang has opened several workshops in the city and can arrange for everyone to earn money to support their families."

After he said this, most of the people present were very grateful, but some people hurriedly said: "Master Jiang, it's not that I'm meddling... I have a few acres of land at home that I need to cultivate."

"If it's out of season, the whole year's harvest will be wasted! I still have to pay rent..."

As the man was talking, he rolled down from the temporary bed and kowtowed repeatedly to Jiang Cheng, almost crying out loud.

The grown man was obviously really sad. Seeing this, his daughter, who was taking care of him, hurried forward to support him: "Dad, what are you doing? Didn't Master Jiang say that he would treat you first?"

"Can we think of a solution after it's cured?"

The middle-aged man Jiang Cheng looked unfamiliar, but when he turned his head and saw the girl with two thick braids, he immediately remembered:
When he rushed to the office lobby after discovering the epidemic, the girl's father had fainted on the side of the road. It was he who asked Xu Fushan to arrange for him and his daughter.

The two should be the first group of people to enter the quarantine area, although their health has obviously improved now;

But while waiting for the medicine in the quarantine area, they had been using Western therapies such as "fluid replacement" proposed by Zhang Tinghui: drinking large amounts of salt and sugar water to expel the typhoid bacteria and get through it themselves.

But this method of treatment relies entirely on the patient's own resistance - the ordinary people before the Republic of China had a poor diet, which could never be compared with modern people who have a comprehensive diet of protein, fat, etc.;
Moreover, typhoid fever is a virulent pathogen. Even if it is properly treated, many people will still develop serious illness.

"Don't worry, Jiang has already transferred a batch of Western special medicines, and we will be able to treat everyone today."

As he spoke, the Western medicine students that he had asked Yan Ziwen to arrange in advance had arrived.

There were so many crystal clear little bottles on the cart that even Zhang Tinglan was a little surprised.

What he didn't know was that when Jiang Cheng took over Dapingzhuang, he spent money to set up a workshop and arranged for women who were not busy during the farming season to make penicillin using traditional methods.

This thing did not become widely available until World War II, but Jiang Cheng started looking for someone to make it as early as 1916.

Later, Cai Yuanzong took over Dapingzhuang. When Jiang Cheng divided the family business, he took all the homemade penicillin and simple equipment to Siping.

During his tenure in Siping, Jiang Cheng not only prepared for war and seized control of resources such as coal mines and forests...but he also secretly developed penicillin the most.

Jiang Cheng knew very well that this seemingly inconspicuous thing, which was not difficult to make, might be a miracle medicine that could shake up the situation of a war!
