Chapter 138 Germs

Silk weaving industry is a pillar industry in Jiangnan. Because of its high profit, the people in Jiangnan can live a basic life of food and clothing. It is also because of its high profit that the large households and farmers in Jiangnan abandon rice to plant mulberry trees. After investigation, among the 61 counties in the ten prefectures in Jiangnan, the mulberry fields in forty counties exceed the area of ​​rice fields, and almost every household is raising silkworms and releasing silk.

Not to mention the weaver who has completely left the land and made a living by the silk weaving industry.

It is not an exaggeration to say that "the silkworm baby is safe, and the silkworm baby is dangerous, and the Jiangnan baby is dangerous." This is not an exaggeration at all. The market has not been good in the past few years, and even the county magistrate has been anxious and asked the Jiangnan Group to provide guarantees for the silk collection. This is the best proof.

Now that Jiangnan Group has finally opened up overseas trade, there is no need to worry about the sales of silk. The silk clubs, silk houses, silk farmers, and weaving households in various counties are ready to expand production and want to make up for the losses in previous years.

Unexpectedly, silkworm disease broke out...

Looking at the silkworm baby who was still fine yesterday, a large number of deaths overnight. The silkworm farmers cried silently and felt that the sky was about to fall.

The big silk farmers are also anxious. I said before that silkworm farmers first borrow money from the silk farmers to raise silkworms. After reeling the silk, they repay the raw silk with the capital and the profit. In order to encourage silkworm farmers to expand production and to earn interest spreads, many big silk farmers borrowed money from Jiangnan Bank and then lent them to silkworm farmers.

If the loss is too great and the loan cannot be paid, the land and house they mortgaged will be taken away by the bank. Therefore, the silk clubs in the six counties suffered a lot of complaints to the Jiangnan Bank, hoping to give some grace.

In fact, even if they don’t ask for advice, Jiangnan Bank itself can find problems. Mr. Zhao summarized the four hundred years of experience in the banking industry and established an internal control system for Jiangnan Bank, which is quite perfect. In addition, Jiang Xueying personally served as the president, the implementation and supervision of the system are naturally effective.

Jiangnan Bank has a deputy president in charge of risk control in each branch, as well as a credit department responsible for pre-loan investigation, during-loan review, and post-loan inspection. In particular, the credit department will send specialists to visit loan owners regularly to check their loan usage and operating conditions.

According to the contract? The lender must cooperate with the inspection? Reaction truthfully. This is the price for them to obtain a low-interest loan. If they resist the inspection or commit fraud, they will be sent to the Jiangnan Bank blacklist? Don't want to lend another penny.

So soon, the credit specialists in six counties reported the risks, and then triggered the early warning mechanism of Jiangnan Bank, which was reflected to Jiang Xueying as soon as possible. After analyzing and judging with Liu Zhengqi and others, Jiang Xueying came to the conclusion that a large-scale outbreak of silkworm disease was possible. He authorized the following to postpone interest-free according to the actual situation. He quickly reported to Zhao Hao and asked him to make an idea.

Regarding the warning of Jiangnan Bank first? Instead of the development companies in Jiangnan Textile or the six counties first? Zhao Hao felt speechless. He went straight to Jiangnan Technical Institute... Oh no, during class, he criticized the corrupt style of executives who were careless and reported good news but not bad news.

However, he also has his own responsibility. He pulled half of the executives of the group and various companies to Jiangnan Technical Institute to attend classes through full-time classes? The remaining half is very reluctant to maintain the company's daily operations? How can he care about so much?

So Mr. Zhao started self-criticism again, and said that he would personally take charge of the matter.

Then he came to find Ma Yilong...

However, Ma Yilong’s answer cannot satisfy Mr. Zhao.

"These two types of silkworm diseases, one is the white zombie disease. It is recorded in the Shennong Baicao Jing. It is a common silkworm disease. It can be prevented and treated with sulfur smoke." Ma Yilong said solemnly: "But it cannot be cured? It often rekinds. Moreover, there are not many silkworm farmers who can master this technology, and they will accidentally smoke all the silkworms to death."

"What's even more troublesome is another disease. I have never seen it before, and I have found nothing after searching the classics." Ma Yilong sighed and said, "This God is so foolish. He has brought down so many plagues to destroy the living creatures in the world." He was angry and had this reason, so he was worried.

"This has nothing to do with God, it is caused by bacteria." Zhao Hao shook his head and smiled.

"Gacteria, what is that?" Because of the reason why he had too little contact with Mr. Zhao, Ma Yilong still knows nothing about the microscopic world.

"I can't explain it clearly in one or two sentences." Zhao Hao smiled and said, "It's better for us to go to Jiangnan Hospital tomorrow."

"That's a place for people to treat patients, and can you also treat silkworms?" Ma Yilong asked in confusion.

"Actually, from a scientific point of view, the commonality between humans and silkworms is far greater than the difference." Zhao Hao kept a secret and said, "You will know when you go."

"Okay..." Ma Yilong had no choice but to respond. He was precious every day and didn't want to waste it.

~~

The next morning, Mr. Zhao took a boat to pick up Ma Yilong. Kunshan Agricultural College was built by the water, with a wharf connected to all parts of the city.

Ma Yilong finally changed out of his old farmer-like dress and got on Mr. Zhao's ship with his son Ma Zhenbo.

The boat left Kunshan City and arrived at the Loujiang River, which had been expanded.

As part of the water treatment of Taihu Lake in Hairui, the Loujiang widening project is divided into four sections, which are managed by Wu Kaisi, Changkaisi, Kunkaisi and Taikaisi.

Because Loujiang not only has the effect of releasing floods for Taihu Lake, it is also the most important transportation channel between the four counties. The chiefs and development companies of the four counties have tried their best to complete the demolition of residential shops along the coast on schedule, and the entire project will be completed by the end of March.

Now, the Loujiang River has expanded from less than ten feet wide to a total of thirty feet, and has also been introduced into Yangcheng Lake, Qingqiupu and other water sources to ensure that there is also abundant water during the dry season.

Therefore, although the traffic in Loujiang is becoming more and more busy, the phenomenon of ship blockage no longer exists.

This made Ma Yilong sigh: "In the past, when I was a prefect, I wanted to do something, but all counties shirked the responsibility and made it difficult to do it. Now, all counties in Jiangnan work together. Such a huge project was completed in an instant. The Jiangnan Group is really high."

"Hey, we just do some business, so how can we have that great ability? They are all decisive and decisive, and the leader of Mr. Cai is good at leading the way." Zhao Hao hurriedly smiled modestly.

"Haha." Ma Yilong smiled faintly. Although he didn't believe his nonsense, he did not argue.

He has worked in the court and local governments, so he naturally knows that the power is not about how high your official position is, but how many people are willing to listen to you and how much power you can mobilize for my use. According to his standard, the power of the Jiangnan Group is probably greater than that of the Jiangnan Governor, let alone a prefect...

Of course, he knew where Zhao Hao's concerns were, but Jiangnan Group was like an elephant in the house. Is it possible that it would not attract attention?

Anyway, Ma Yilong felt that he was lingering. Especially now the power-in-powered master, who was an iron-fisted prime minister who could not tolerate sand. How long could he tolerate the expansion of the Jiangnan Group?

Ma Yilong just hopes that that day will come later...

While talking, the two of them took a boat to turn out of Loujiang, passed through the increasingly prosperous Zehe Town, and came to Jiangnan Hospital on the banks of Xiaozehe River.

Wan Mizhai's eldest son, Wan Bangzhong, director of the laboratory of Jiangnan Hospital, and Li Shizhen's eldest disciple, Pang Xian, director of the laboratory of Jiangnan Medical College, took several students to wait for Mr. Zhao's arrival at the dock.

If he had changed somewhere else and learned that Mr. Zhao was coming to inspect, he would definitely have to put down his work and greet him. But the three giants in Jiangnan Hospital would not waste time flattering him... Originally, Li Shizhen could still welcome him. But with President Li's current status, he had sufficient funds and connections to create "Compendium of Materia Medica", so he naturally was too lazy to do superficial articles.

Speaking of which, Mr. Zhao was responsible for his own actions. When Jiangnan Hospital was established, he asked them not to be powerful and wealthy, and he would take care of it if he caused trouble. Otherwise, this nobleman would invite them to see a doctor and the wife would ask them to have a follow-up visit, and the normal work of the hospital would be delayed.

So over time, the three miracle doctors became more and more arrogant. Even the founder of his group and the founder of scientific medicine came, he was too lazy to come out to welcome him.

"This is a good thing..." What else can Zhao Hao say? He could only say to Wan, who was guilty of the crime, and Pang and the others said with awkward smile: "Concentrating on climbing the peak of medicine is the result of the present and the future."

"Young Master is indeed understanding." Wan Bangzhong smiled apologetically and said, "That's it. Since you introduced the microscope to us,

My father and two uncle Li are crazy. Now, as long as they are not in the clinic, they will definitely stay in the laboratory, and even eating and sleeping is a waste of time."

Ma Yilong was confused when he heard this. What is this ‘microscope’? How could it make the three famous miracle doctors obsessed with this? What does this have to do with silkworm disease?

With full of questions, he and Zhao Hao came to Jiangnan Medical College, which was separated from Jiangnan Hospital by a wall.

The Medical School covers an area of ​​50 acres, with beautiful campus, garden, teaching building with pink walls, black tiles and glass windows, experimental building and school building.

Wan Bangzhong told Zhao Hao that the hospital and medical school have laboratory buildings, not to squeeze out the group's funds, but to have different functions.

The former is mainly used in medical research, while the latter focuses on teaching research. In addition, some experiments that are not suitable for hospitals with mixed human eyes, such as human anatomy and animal experiments, are placed in the experimental building of the medical school.

The reason why they all built a building is not for the sake of grandeur, but because the climate in Jiangnan is humid, the higher the floor, the better the experimental environment...

Looking at his nervous look, Zhao Hao couldn't help but laugh. This is the difference between being an official and never being an official. Look at Mr. Meng He, the cost of the Agricultural College is three times that of the Medical College, and he didn't blink.

On the first floor of the experimental building, everyone changed into white cotton hooded experimental clothes, put on shoe covers, rubber gloves, masks and goggles.

Ma Yilong still wore these things back, so he was naturally not used to them, and felt like he was wearing mourning. But his attitude towards science was very humble, which was completely opposite to his attitude towards Zhao Hao, so he still kept silent and followed him to the second floor.

He found that their destination was separated by wall panels and could not understand the rest of the laboratories. The wooden door sign reads five black Song fonts, "Bacteria Laboratory".
