Chapter 369 Life in the Republic of China during the Turmoil



Chapter 369 Life in the Republic of China during the Chaotic Era 27

Jiang Lan had mentioned the matter of penicillin to Peng Hengzhang before, so he was aware of it.

Peng Hengzhang was a very traditional Chinese, and had been exposed to more traditional Chinese medicine since he was a child, so he had never thought about how effective a drug could be, and thought it was just an ordinary hemostatic drug.

Practice is the only criterion for testing truth. After penicillin came into play, the survival rate and recovery of the wounded increased dramatically, and it can be called a "life-saving drug."

Peng Hengzhang quickly realized the value of penicillin, and immediately sent his confidant to the logistics department to monitor all penicillin to prevent anyone from smuggling the drug.

This matter soon reached the ears of other military leaders, and several of them came to discuss cooperation, and they had to let Peng Hengzhang share the good things.

"Brother Peng, what is the name of your medicine? Can you give me some? The money is easy to negotiate. Don't be polite to me."

"Brother Peng, saving lives is like putting out a fire. These things can't be delayed."

"Brother Peng, you must help the brothers."

Peng Hengzhang was shocked by the enthusiasm of these people. "Don't be like this. I can't afford it."

"Brother Peng, just agree to us, otherwise we can't explain to the brothers below, don't you think?"

These military leaders are rough. They don't care about face. Real benefits are the most important. They bite Peng Hengzhang tightly.

Peng Hengzhang was stared at and nagged by these people for several days, and he was annoyed by being urged for several days.

"Alright, alright. It's not that I, Peng, am not being nice. This is really not something I can decide. I have to ask if I can distribute it to you. It's useless for you to follow me around all day."

Several military leaders said in unison: "Then ask now."

Peng Hengzhang had no choice but to call Jiang Lan's mansion in front of them.

After listening to what he said, Jiang Lan readily said that he could distribute part of it, but the quantity was small and it would take some time.

Several military leaders got the information and were all delighted.

They all said that time was not a problem. As long as there was stock, they were willing to wait any amount of time.

With the help of penicillin, the pressure on Province B against the enemy was relieved a lot.

After several battles, they won consecutive victories and confused the Japanese soldiers.

Takahashi Yamamoto, the Neon commander in charge of operations in Province B, sent several agents and lost several lives before he learned about penicillin.

"What's going on? When did they get such a powerful drug?"

"Commander Takahashi, it's my fault. We didn't hear about this before."

"Who made it? We must find out!"

Takahashi Yamamoto stood up, drew the samurai sword at his waist, and suddenly chopped it above his subordinate's head.

"Fujii-san, excellent talents must belong to our great Neon Empire. Do you understand?"

"Yes, I will make arrangements immediately and will definitely catch the inventor of the drug."

"This person is very important. I believe you understand."

The importance of penicillin is self-evident. P City has become a hot commodity in the eyes of military leaders.

Especially the inventor of penicillin, who is a person that many forces want to win over.

"P City is P City again. What virtue and ability does Peng Hengzhang have? Why does such a person follow this old guy? Humph."

Consultant Tian, ​​who was falsely killed at home, was still well-informed, but the more informed he was, the more indignant he was.

"Father, I think I know who this person is. It should be the legendary Miss Jiang."

Gu Muzhen finally understood why Miss Jiang had such a status in P City.

This woman is really amazing, not the kind of amazing that others compliment her.

"You know, kid, why are you saying it now?" Consultant Tian gave him a look of resentment.

"You are usually good at picking up girls, so where are your tricks to please women? Don't you know how to bring her back?"

Gu Muzhen was helpless, "Father, it's not that I don't want to, it's just that I can't meet her. This Miss Jiang is very mysterious, she rarely goes out, I can't meet her at all."

"If you can't meet her, think of a way. While no one knows about Miss Jiang, you should get out of P City right now. If you don't bring her back, don't come back to me either!" Gu Muzhen

's approach was obviously a bit unreasonable.

Gu Muzhen was speechless and could only do as he was told.

However, Gu Muzhen turned around and thought that he had never failed in coaxing women. If he could bring Miss Jiang back, then the position of the young marshal would be more secure.

People from all walks of life came to P City. Jiang Lan knew about this, of course, but she had already moved to F City.

P City was too big a target. Everyone knew that it was Peng Hengzhang's home base. There were many other military leaders and even spies from other countries.

In comparison, F City was much more low-key. Although this city was the first city expanded by Peng Hengzhang, it was not the only one. Compared with the cities that followed, it was really inconspicuous.

Except for the confidants of the Peng family, no one knew that F City was the core production and manufacturing center of the Peng family. It gathered tank arsenals, artillery arsenals and penicillin cultivation centers.

Tunnels had long been dug between P City and F City, and all transportation work was completed in secret. It was definitely not as simple as outsiders saw.

All the factories here are built underground. They are equipped with power generating units, and most of the machines are automated, saving a lot of manpower.

The factories in P City are crowded with assembly workers, while in the core factories in F City, most of the assembly work is done by machines.

Even if there is manual work, it is done by highly loyal soldiers in the army.

Boxes of penicillin are packed and boxed by machines and then transported to the battlefield.

The penicillin production in F City is actually very high, but she was the first to be shot, so she can only sell it in batches instead of selling it all at once.

"Ms. Jiang, how is the price of penicillin determined?"

Jiang Lan remembered that the price of penicillin produced in Japan at that time was several times higher than gold. When it arrived in China, a small vial cost four dollars, and that was when the supply was sufficient.

If it is out of stock, the actual price is much higher than this. It can be said that it is hard to find a price.

Chinese people do not cheat Chinese people. When Jiang Lan made this medicine, he was thinking of benefiting his compatriots. He would never make this little black money.

Jiang Lan thought for a while and replied: "There are 10 in a box. Let's sell a box for 1 dollar first."

"Miss Jiang, this...isn't it too cheap?"

"The cheaper it is, the more it can save lives. And this price is not too high, but it is not too low either."

Ordinary people only earn 2 dollars a month. Soldiers are treated better. Ordinary soldiers earn 10 dollars a month.

Peng Jiajun's treatment is better. Ordinary soldiers earn 12 dollars a month.

"Miss Jiang, are we really not making money from this?"

Monopoly business is the most profitable. Everyone understands this truth.

"Some money cannot be earned, we must have a conscience."

Rich and powerful people can afford medicine that costs 1,000 yuan per bottle, but for poor people, cheap medicine is life-saving medicine.
