Chapter 193 Chapter 193
With curiosity about Ye Qing's subsequent actions, Song Chunhua and his wife finally boarded the train heading south.
Ye Qing personally sent the person onto the train to Jicheng, and then called Hang Tingfang after returning to Kaoshantun.
"What did you say? You want to compile a veterinary reference book?"
Hang Tingfang was somewhat doubtful whether he had heard it wrongly.
Although Ye Qing has developed a scientific breeding technology, isn't her real expertise in human medicine? Even if she is editing a book, she should be editing books on human medicine. Why did she go into veterinary medicine?
Ye Qing affirmed:
"Yes, it's veterinary medicine, and it's in the field of traditional Chinese medicine!"
"During the last swine fever prevention, the medical team sent by the province were all Western medicine doctors, without a single Chinese medicine doctor. Moreover, they do not trust or look down on Chinese medicine doctors, thinking that they are all quacks and unreliable scammers. This idea is a bit too extreme and unfair to Chinese medicine!"
“I want to restore the reputation of Chinese medicine, but under the current situation, compiling Chinese medicine books on human medicine may face great obstacles, so I want to start with veterinary medicine first!”
"Didn't the team in Shanghai produce a national health guidance manual, the Barefoot Doctor's Manual, a few years ago? It has helped hundreds of millions of people solve basic medical problems, and many people have learned to become barefoot doctors by themselves with the help of this book?"
"Then I will follow suit and write a book called "A Guide to Barefoot Veterinarian Training" to teach those who are interested in veterinary medicine how to become a true barefoot veterinarian from scratch with the help of a Chinese medicine manual!"
Didn't Zhao Yuliang want to try all kinds of things on the army farm? He wanted to raise all kinds of poultry and livestock. This just provided Ye Qing with enough practical case materials. As long as he understood the physiological structure of chickens, ducks, geese, pigs, cattle, sheep, donkeys, horses, rabbits and dogs, Ye Qing could draw a complete physiological structure diagram.
Then, using the atlas of Chinese medicine acupuncture points, we compiled all the problems that may be encountered in the livestock and poultry feeding process into a book, including the symptoms of each disease, what Chinese medicine prescription should be used for treatment, how to control the dosage, why the medicine is used in this way, and what principles are involved. All of them are broken down and taught in detail.
She could defeat them one by one, and ensure that everyone could understand them. She just didn't believe that she couldn't train a group of talented barefoot veterinarians!
This is not something that can be accomplished in a short period of time. Ye Qing has even prepared for a long-term battle, and even plans to spend three to five years or even seven to eight years to completely compile the book.
After the reform and opening-up policy comes, the domestic situation will gradually improve, people's minds will be open, and they will be able to look at old things dialectically. Then Chinese medicine will no longer be condemned by everyone. At that time, this book will naturally be welcomed by the grassroots farmers.
Ye Qing originally thought that she would need to spend a lot of time to persuade Hang Tingfang, but as soon as she expressed her thoughts, Hang Tingfang said decisively:
"Then do it. Whatever preparations are needed, whether it's people or reference materials or anything else, just tell me and I'll try to help you make the contact!"
Ye Qing immediately smiled: "It's enough if you can support me. I need to borrow two editors from you to help me with the overall planning. I don't need anything else. I have the people and reference materials. Last time when the county was doing epidemic prevention work against swine fever, I got a lot of money from the provincial department and the Jicheng Agricultural Department. I didn't return any of the books and materials related to traditional Chinese medicine that I used. I had them all moved back to Kaoshantun. Haha, the people in the province didn't dare to say a word and watched me haul them away with a car."
Ye Qing was so proud when he talked about this.
Didn't the medical team sent by the provincial department despise and slander traditional Chinese medicine in various ways? Then the province would definitely not look down on these materials. It just so happened that they were all left to the Kaoshantun Health Station for collection. She loved these books very much, and they were just right for her to use as reference documents when she was compiling a book.
I have to say that Ye Qing's move was brilliant. He dared to fleece the Ministry of Agriculture in the province and even in the capital. No one else has such courage.
Whenever Hang Tingfang thought about the expressions of those old men in the Ministry of Agriculture when they found out that they couldn't get back any of the books they had sent out, she couldn't help laughing. If she couldn't see through the phone, she would have given Ye Qing a thumbs up.
It was not surprising that Hang Tingfang agreed with her idea, but what Ye Qing did not expect was that not long after she proposed the idea of compiling a book, the Ministry of Agriculture and the Propaganda Committee knew about it. Even Mr. Yang called Ye Qing to inquire about the specific details. It was obvious that the higher-ups were very interested in her barefoot veterinary manual, which had not yet been published, and they were very supportive.
Ye Qing only mentioned this matter to Hang Tingfang, and did not tell anyone else for the time being. However, Hang Tingfang was definitely not a big mouth, and it was impossible for him to casually tell her affairs to others without any proof.
Then the person most likely to leak the news is the personal female bodyguard following her.
This made Ye Qing feel very helpless. This man was sent down from above. She couldn't beat him away, nor could she scold him. He stood by her side like a telephone pole every day, and he could also act as an informant for the leaders above. It was really infuriating.
It seems that she really needs to find a way to get rid of the person. She doesn't really need to protect his safety, not to mention that the connection with the male protagonist has been uprooted. There shouldn't be any enemy spies targeting her in the short term. But with an extra bodyguard, she doesn't even have any privacy or freedom.
Ye Qing felt really depressed. She stopped going into the mountains during this period of time and interacted less with the animals in the mountains. She felt that she had lost a lot of fun.
Ye Qing complained casually when he was on the phone with Gu Weidong, but he didn't know how this guy communicated with his superiors. Within two days, the bodyguard who reported the incident was actually transferred away.
Now Ye Qing felt that he could breathe more freely. He had been feeling a little listless, but now he was resurrected instantly and went into the mountains to play with the group of animals.
After the female bodyguard left, Mr. Yang actually brought a publishing team to Kaoshantun in person, and this time Hang Tingfang didn't need to handle it. This publishing team was actually the original team that published "The Barefoot Doctor's Handbook". Ye Qing only needed to get the content done, and the rest of the editing, reviewing, typesetting and other issues could be handled by this team, and they could also provide Ye Qing with guidance during the editing process.
Not only that, Mr. Yang has even found a printing factory for Ye Qing. His only request is that Ye Qing can quickly set up a book editing team. He wants to see results as soon as possible and hopes that Ye Qing can work as fast as possible.
Ye Qing: ...
Well, she had worried before that the use of traditional Chinese medicine knowledge in this book would encounter many obstacles, but facts proved that she was overthinking it. Come to think of it, it made sense. At this time, the four people had already fallen, and many demoted cadres and intellectuals had been rehabilitated one after another. The country would soon restore order, and the situation was getting better and better, which meant that the dawn was not far ahead.
With Master Yang's full endorsement, Ye Qing was very confident this time. However, she did not ask Master Yang for experts in traditional Chinese medicine to support her. Instead, she directly asked for all the people who had participated in the research on special medicine prescriptions in the county last time. She did not dislike such a makeshift team, but called them together for a meeting and told them what she was going to do. Those who were willing to participate could stay, and those who were unwilling could not be forced.
These people were all laymen who knew nothing at first, but they didn't expect that after fighting with Ye Qing for more than ten days, they would actually be pulled onto this big ship. Not only did they have a chance to appear on TV, but they were also able to edit a book with Ye Qing later on. This was absolutely beyond anyone's expectations.
Although most of these people are young, and many of them are even unemployed, they have good brains.
If they could really work under Ye Qing and help her compile this book "Barefoot Doctor's Training Guide", then those who participated in the compilation might be able to have their names printed on the book. With this book, they would be able to soar to fame and be sought after in every unit. Moreover, this would be a great thing that would bring honor to the family and benefit all mankind. Only a fool would not do such a thing!
Because of their previous cooperation experience, these people have been tested and have a strong tacit understanding at work. Moreover, each of them has a tenacious and unyielding spirit in their bones, and this spirit is what Ye Qing values.
So, such a makeshift team was formed as Ye Qing said. After half a month of training and integration, the book editing team was hastily established. After that, Ye Qing began to assign tasks. Several small groups were divided, and each type of poultry and livestock was assigned to a small group. They were supposed to go to the production brigades to conduct research. As long as the members had raised poultry and livestock, they would be their target.
Some poultry and livestock are not common in the Great Northern Wilderness, and people even need to travel south to other provinces to collect as much common and uncommon case materials involving poultry and livestock as possible.
Then Ye Qing conducted a thorough analysis on how to treat these diseases one by one, and at the same time, he tried his best to make these treatment methods from obscure and profound to easy to understand, to ensure that farmers with low cultural literacy could easily master them and put them into practice.
These tasks are simple, but in fact they are still very tedious and take up a lot of time and energy. In the process of going to the countryside, they will encounter all kinds of strange people and things and have to deal with all kinds of unpredictable situations, which really tests the patience of these team researchers.
So time passed neither fast nor slow. The entire book editing work lasted for more than half a year, and I was busy until the early summer of the second year. At this time, the book "Barefoot Veterinarian Training Guide" began to take shape, and the content and framework were finally filled in, and it looked a bit presentable.
There are still some parts that have not been finalized because some case materials are missing due to seasonal issues. We have to wait for some time for the material team to collect all the corresponding content before we can complete the task. But there is not much work in total. The speed of the entire editing process has completely exceeded Ye Qing's expectations.
As spring sowing is over and autumn harvest has not yet arrived, it is a time of leisure for farmers. Ye Qing plans to get together the researchers under her who have been working hard for half a year to help her collect materials. She will hold a barbecue party by the Yazi River in Kaoshantun and she will cook herself to reward everyone.
The banquet was quite well organized. Ye Qing brought out a rich variety of ingredients, and also some good wine that she brewed herself. Everyone was having fun, eating and drinking, and the guests enjoyed themselves. Unfortunately, when the meal was almost over, suddenly a large flock of birds soared into the sky from Changbai Mountain, and all flew northward, looking like they were escaping in panic.
