Su Rao said, "Hongqi Commune has always been the largest producer of medicinal herbs in the entire provincial capital."
"There are many kinds of medicinal herbs in the back mountain, and the local environment is also diverse and suitable for growing a variety of medicinal herbs. Most importantly, this place also has the most experienced and skilled craftsmen who prepare medicinal herbs."
"If we can start collecting and processing medicinal herbs here again, it should be able to continue to generate income for Hongqi Commune. Of course, it won't be led by individuals, but can be collected through the commune."
"Donghe and Xihe villages are mostly mountainous, with very little arable land per capita. Large-scale grain production is almost impossible. So while the people here won't starve to death, they won't get rich either."
"It's said that you live off the land and the best place to live is the best place to live. The best thing to do here is to continue to develop the cultivation and preparation of medicinal herbs."
Speaking of this, Yan Chuanliang also became interested.
"Back then, Mr. Qi..." he paused before continuing, "The medicinal herbs produced by Hongqi Commune have always been of the highest quality."
"If you want, you can continue. Just keep doing it, and I'll take care of the rest for you!"
Doctor He also immediately said, "Leave this matter to me. The demand in the provincial capital is huge."
"However much you have here, I will solve it for you."
Yan Chuanliang immediately started to argue with him, "You're the one who's going to solve it? Considering the quality of the medicinal materials here at Hongqi Commune and Su Rao's ability, you'd almost be begging Su Rao to sell them to you."
Doctor He was furious, "You didn't say that?"
"I'm talking about the local policy and the workload assigned by the higher-ups. Can you handle that?" Yan Chuanliang immediately asked back with a look of disdain on his face.
Each production brigade has its own tasks.
Focus all your time and energy on those medicinal herbs.
That would take up a lot of labor and land.
If the brigade wants to give more workers money to prepare medicinal materials, it will have to provide more food and money to the members.
Besides, we now have a planned economy, and the members below cannot plant whatever they want.
There are tasks on everything. You are told to plant what you want and harvest it at the right time.
If the planting tasks assigned by the state are not completed, the leaders of the brigade and the commune will be criticized.
Moreover, what are medicinal herbs when your stomach is not full? They are weeds, or even the kind that doesn't care about being full.
Without policies, who would waste time and energy on medicinal materials?
Doctor He was always in the provincial capital, so naturally he didn't think about this for a while, and he was so angry that his face turned green.
Su Rao thought, "I have studied with my grandfather for so many years, and I have some prescriptions on hand. We can collect and process medicinal materials in a certain quantity and develop a certain scale. We can also consider setting up a small medicinal material processing factory. Or we can directly use a few prescriptions and open several pharmaceutical factories."
She smiled and said, "I am also considered the heir of the Qie family. It doesn't make sense for the medicinal herbs to pass through my hands and even sell the simplest ones."
As soon as Su Rao said this, Lu Lihao looked towards Su Rao almost instantly.
For some reason, he always felt that what Su Rao said was... strange.
But Yan Chuanliang stood up and walked back and forth in the room, thinking about what Su Rao said.
"There's no rush for the prescription and pharmaceutical factory you mentioned."
"However, the harvesting, planting, and processing of medicinal herbs can be put on the agenda. I think there is some truth to it."
Lu Lihao glanced at Su Rao and asked with a smile, "I didn't expect Su Rao to be so familiar with medicinal herbs and even have a knack for making medicine?"
Yan Chuanliang then smiled and said, "Su Rao's grandfather is quite familiar with medicinal herbs and pharmacology."
"What he's best at is making medicine. He's only average at medical consultations and acupuncture, but any herb or prescription, once in his hands, will produce completely different effects."
"Master Su Rao is already so good at acupuncture and medical consultation. I'm really curious about your skills in pharmacology."
Su Rao raised the corner of her mouth, "That's definitely not something you can expect."
"Hahaha, I remember that Chengcheng's family is from Xihe Village? Since you want to do this, you can also set up a pilot unit first." Yan Chuanliang asked Su Rao.
"Is your brother familiar with medicinal herbs?"
Su Rao nodded.
Yan Chuanliang nodded and said, "Then let's just go ahead and ask your brother to come to Xihe Village and help the captain there manage it."
He thought Su Rao brought up this matter because of Su Rao's brother.
If we can change the policy here and reduce the amount of grain they have to hand over, we can let the commune assign tasks and distribute work, or even set up a team-run enterprise in Xihe Village.
Since it can boost the income of the entire brigade, the attitude of everyone in the brigade towards Su Rao and others will naturally change.
Su Rao smiled and said, "When the herbalists are gathering, you can interplant some one-year-old and two-year-old herbs. Licorice, Isatis root, Schizonepeta, Astragalus, Chrysanthemum, Goldenseal, Pinellia, Bupleurum, and Angelica dahurica. All of them are the most commonly used herbs."
"With some medicinal herbs from the mountains, I can also provide two simple prescriptions. The ones that use these common herbs are actually not very troublesome and can also provide more labor."
Yan Chuanliang looked at Su Rao in surprise, "Have you really been thinking about this for a long time?"
Su Rao said, "This is actually the experience of the Yi family before. I also read the information left by my grandfather."
"This is also a cash crop, and it won't interfere with everyone's food planting."
Yan Chuanliang also began to talk with Su Rao in detail with great interest.
Lu Lihao also looked at Su Rao.
Su Rao suddenly wants to set up this pharmaceutical factory. Is it really just to bring her brother here smoothly?
Su Rao felt a strong sense of incongruity all over her body.
How did Su Rao learn and practice such excellent medical skills under the supervision of Qie Xiaoru for more than ten years?
It can be said that Su Rao learned traditional Chinese medicine from Qie Jimin, and pharmaceutical preparation and acupuncture can also be said to be learned based on the Su family's medical skills. What about Western medicine?
He himself is a surgeon, and he knows very well that without enough surgeries and no one to teach, it is absolutely impossible to have such a high level of medicine.
He had always scoffed at the so-called treasure that Su Xinyue and Xiaoru talked about.
But after seeing Su Rao this time, he had other thoughts.
Whether for Su Rao as a person or for the things left by the Su family, he wanted to contact Su Rao.
Seeing the interest in his eyes, Ji Heng frowned a few more times.
He also discovered that Su Rao was also interested in Lu Lihao, and he always took over the conversation whenever Lu Lihao brought up a topic.
He lowered his eyelids. It seemed that Cheng Cheng had also said that Su Rao might like Li Lihao...
The two of them have the same profession, the same hobby, and probably have common topics in their daily lives.
He suppressed the inexplicable sour feeling in his heart.
He decided to return to the county seat and send a telegram to find out more about Li Lihao's situation.
It's not that he doesn't want to be seen by others, it's just to ensure Su's absolute safety.
