Yes, this period was the most difficult for the country.

In addition to the ten years of the Cultural Revolution, which caused serious civil unrest in the country and inflicted significant losses in many aspects including politics, economy, and culture.

The most important thing is that from 1947 to December 1991, the United States and Western capitalist countries adopted a policy of hostility and containment towards all socialist countries.

This is the so-called Cold War period.

Originally, our country belonged to the socialist camp and the situation was not too bad.

However, by 1958, Sino-Soviet relations had deteriorated and there were even several near military conflicts.

During this period, facing the Soviet Union's nuclear threat, the great man also had an "unprecedented home-changing tactic."

Xu Nanxing saw a related video while watching short videos, and was shocked by the great man’s tactics at that time!

So at this moment, we are isolated by both major camps.

Science and technology, business trade, and cultural exchanges are all unable to keep pace with the international standards.

Isolated externally and hit by the "Three Years of Natural Disasters" from 1959 to 1961, the national population decreased by about 10 million.

The country was in trouble both internally and externally, and many graduates were completely unable to find jobs. In order to provide employment for these unemployed graduates, the policy of sending educated youth to the countryside was implemented nationwide.

Let’s get back to “Traditional Chinese Medicine”. Isn’t it a pillar industry that the country can vigorously develop under the current conditions?

There is no need to invest huge amounts of money in research and development, or purchase equipment, and it is possible to provide opportunities for many people to study and find employment.

So Xu Nanxing really thinks that studying Chinese medicine is quite promising!

Of course, it refers to the period after the Cultural Revolution.

Xu Nanxing didn't want to miss this opportunity because of his uncle's concerns.

After all, the best time to plant trees was ten years ago, and the second best time is now.

The sooner my cousins ​​can find their own specialties, the sooner they can accumulate experience.

After all, who wouldn’t want to see a doctor with decades of experience?

"Uncle, our country's production of Western medicine is very low. We also don't have enough foreign exchange reserves, so we can't spend it specifically to import Western medicine from abroad. When we're sick, we still have to rely on Traditional Chinese Medicine. Although 'Traditional Chinese Medicine' has been labeled a monster, believe me, the people still want to see a doctor. My cousins ​​are still young, and it will take at least ten years to complete their studies. Who can say what will happen in ten years? Maybe there will be a turning point!"

Uncle Chen was persuaded. The two children were still young and there were still many years before they grew up. They could learn things slowly.

Who knows what will happen in the future!

After convincing his uncle, Xu Nanxing began to think about his future plans.

Yesterday I suggested that Xiaotian and Xiaoyu study Traditional Chinese Medicine, and I also wanted to learn it at that time.

After all, who hasn’t read a few books like “XX Medical Concubine”, “XX Medical Concubine of Miraculous Doctor”, “XX Medical Concubine of Poisonous Doctor”, “XX Medical Concubine of Ghost Doctor”…

However, after the two children came back with the "Three Character Classic of Learning Medicine", Xu Nanxing gave up the idea.

Really, how could she, a poor student, want to study such a profound and difficult subject!

Xu Nanxing's eyes widened as he read the entire article in classical Chinese.

It is said that high school is the peak period of learning in life, but she didn’t believe it before.

Now, she believes it!

She had checked yesterday and found that there are many Chinese medicine works that need to be mastered to study Chinese medicine, including "Su Wen", "Ling Shu", "Nan Jing", "Shennong's Herbal Classic", "Treatise on Febrile Diseases", "Golden Chamber", "Hua Shi Zhong Canon", "Acupuncture and Moxibustion Jia Yi Jing", "Pulse Classic", "Huangdi Neijing Tai Su", etc.

So, forget about learning Chinese medicine myself.

She's really not cut out for that.

But it’s also nice to start your own Chinese herbal medicine company!

Of course, it refers to the period after the reform and opening up.

Because many Chinese patent medicines are also selling very well, such as Lianhua Qingwen Capsules, which have played a great role during the epidemic.

When the epidemic broke out at the end of 2022, this drug was in great demand.

Anyway, from now on, Lianhua Qingwen Capsules will be the common medicine in my home.

The more I thought about it, the better I thought this was a good idea. I got a lot of medicinal seeds and planted them in the space.

Moreover, for many expensive medicinal herbs, the longer they are grown, the better their efficacy becomes and the more valuable they are.

When I can open a medicinal materials company, can't I just sell these medicines that I've grown for many years?

The time it takes to plant in space now is ten times longer than that in the outside world. After 3 or 4 years, won’t the ginseng, deer antler, saffron, angelica, and ginseng planted here have medicinal effects for decades?

Grit your teeth and wait ten years before taking it out...

Wow, a hundred-year-old ginseng!

Or you can upgrade the space to another level, maybe the growth rate in this space will double again.

When it comes to space upgrade, Xu Nanxing fell silent.

She also wanted to upgrade the space, but unfortunately the jade energy she had obtained before was not enough for the upgrade.

Xu Nanxing opened the map again and searched for "jade".

Xu Nanxing has already been to all the easy-to-find places on the map.

The rest were in the homes of two villagers, some were in the cowshed, and the rest were deep in the mountains.

Xu Nanxing didn't dare to go deep into the forest alone. There might be wolves, snakes, tigers, etc. The thought of it made him scared.

The rest all belong to someone else.

I wish I could find a way to buy it.

Even if people are unwilling to sell it, her space absorbs the energy of the jade and will not damage the jade.

You can also find a way to touch the jade and absorb the energy.

I just don't know who these families are.

Xu Nanxing planned to ask his acquaintances about the situation.

Among the people she knows, the one who is most well-informed is of course Chen Jiaxin.

He immediately went to the educated youth site to inquire about the news.

…

On the other side, Uncle Chen returned to the straw hut with the "Three Character Classic of Learning Medicine".

Many bricks have been placed on the open space outside, waiting to dry.

Because Grandpa Chen was old and his legs and feet were not very good, the villagers did not make things difficult for him. They just arranged for him to help the breeder take care of the village's cows.

Uncle Chen handed the paper to Grandpa Chen. "This is what Nanxing just gave me. She said the two children of the Ye family are interested in Chinese herbal medicine and have started learning Chinese medicine from the village barefoot doctor. Nanxing said this barefoot doctor is no ordinary person. The Ye child twisted his arm and was in great pain, and this doctor cured it with just a few strokes. Nanxing guessed that this doctor studied Chinese medicine and probably has a master. He is just covering up by being a barefoot doctor. I wanted to come over and ask if Minghui and Mingxuan would like to learn Chinese medicine. This is the introductory course she brought."

Upon hearing this, Grandpa Chen was also thinking about the future paths his two children would take.

He has no prejudice against traditional Chinese medicine.

It’s just that the current situation of traditional Chinese medicine…

Seeing Grandpa Chen frowning and thinking seriously, he also told him Xu Nanxing's later analysis that the production of Western medicine is low and the medicine has been in short supply for a long time, and that traditional Chinese medicine is the medicine that can be developed nationwide.

Grandpa Chen was very surprised that Xu Nanxing could make such a unique analysis of the current situation of the domestic pharmaceutical industry.

"She's worthy of being my granddaughter, Chen Zhe! Even in the countryside, she can analyze the pharmaceutical industry so thoroughly!"
