Gu Qishen was also excited after hearing Han Yixian's words. "Of course I know that many poor families simply cannot afford medical treatment, let alone tuberculosis, which requires long-term treatment. The main problem is that tuberculosis is highly contagious. Even if our city doesn't eliminate it, reducing the number of patients would be good. I strongly agree with Yuhan's suggestion."
"Then you'll have to coordinate with the pharmaceutical company."
Han Yixian said, "Besides meeting the needs of patients undergoing clinical trials, all the remaining pharmaceutical companies will be allocated to this operation. We will establish several pilot sites throughout the city and send dedicated personnel to supervise the use of the drugs, ensuring that all the drugs are used by the right people."
A pilot project could be established at the township health center in a place like Laohewan Village.
Besides getting the other medicines from Yuhan, we also need to increase production and expand the scale of the pharmaceutical factory.
Gu Qishen nodded and said, "Yes, the pharmaceutical company should indeed expand its scale. Although the new drug is still in the clinical trial stage, many people have already inquired about it with me."
Uncle He is a living advertisement. Once all those who participated in the clinical trials have recovered, a large number of people will rush to buy the new drug.
However, the current scale of the pharmaceutical factory is indeed too small, and it urgently needs to expand.
"Can Yuhan really get her hands on the equipment? Even used equipment will do. Some of our current equipment is old, outdated stuff. They won't sell us new equipment."
Han Yi took out a cigarette, and Gu Qishen asked, "Why are you smoking again? Didn't you quit?"
Han Yixian said, "I only smoke one cigarette occasionally. Yuhan doesn't like the smell of cigarettes, so I don't dare to smoke too much."
He lit a cigarette, took a puff, and said, "If Yuhan says she can get it, then she definitely can. Even if it's old, it'll be much more advanced than the equipment we're using now. We just need to get the import quota and funding."
The last batch of funds was used to buy jade, and I even paid for part of it out of my own pocket.
You know the people Yuhan contacted definitely won't accept our money. I'm planning to go with Yuhan to buy some diamonds and other gemstones to use as payment. I'll find a way to convert those funds into foreign currency before making the transaction.
The most important thing is to have a publicly displayed quotation for our imported equipment, so that if we replace Yuhan's equipment, no one will suspect anything.
Gu Qishen frowned and said, "Where are you taking Yuhan? You shouldn't take any risks."
Han Yi leaned back on the sofa, exhaled a smoke ring, and said, "If we don't take risks, where will we get anything to settle our debts with? But don't worry, I've already sent someone ahead to pave the way. They've contacted the seller, so we can just go over and trade with them directly. There won't be any danger."
Gu Qishen sighed and said, "Our country needs to import too many things, and our foreign exchange reserves are simply not enough. Many things that other countries won't sell to us, otherwise we wouldn't be in such a difficult situation."
"Just submit the application to your superiors, and I'll explain the situation to them as well."
Han Yixian said, "There's no rush to buy diamonds. We can get some things to offset the debt first."
Gu Qishen frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "If that doesn't work, we can gather another batch of timber. That's the easiest thing to obtain right now."
In addition, I sent people to collect some of the badges, stamps, antiques, calligraphy and paintings that Yuhan mentioned, which should be enough to offset some of the debt.
Han Yixian said with a wry smile, "We are really too poor. Luckily, Yuhan didn't ask for cash or gold, otherwise we wouldn't be able to pay her bill at all."
Gu Qishen also took out a cigarette and lit it, and the two of them started puffing away at each other.
Money and food are needed everywhere, and they are under a lot of pressure. Without He Yuhan's help, it is hard to imagine what the situation would be like in City C now.
Gu Qishen took a deep drag on his cigarette and said, "The drought situation this year has not eased much. Fortunately, we made a lot of preparations beforehand, and the city's waterwheel irrigation rate has continued to increase, which has greatly alleviated the drought. Now spring plowing is over, and fields all over the city have been planted."
This year, most of the seeds planted in the city were provided by Yuhan, in the hope that this would make up for the reduced yield caused by the drought.
I wonder when this drought will end; the people are suffering so much right now.
Han Yixian sighed and said, "It's not just ordinary people who are suffering. This time when I went back to Kyoto, Zheng Ye came to see us. He said that the supplies in Kyoto have been reduced again and again."
He originally wanted to attend my wedding, but they were all sent out to fight the drought. He was the leader and had to set an example.
The drought has eased somewhat in some parts of the country now, and perhaps things will gradually get better. Persistence is key to victory.
Gu Qishen said, "I don't think we can implement the suggestion you made to Yuhan last time about planting fruit trees on some slopes this year. The fields are so dry right now that even if we planted fruit trees, they probably wouldn't survive. It would be a waste of effort, and farmers are focused on growing grains these days, so nobody is in the mood to plant this."
Han Yixian said, "Then let's talk about it next year. This year, given the state of the land, the farmers are busy fighting the drought and really don't have the energy for it. However, fruit trees have already been planted in Laohewan. The saplings were provided by Yuhan, and it is said that the saplings have all survived, which is great news. Laohewan Village can be considered to have conducted an early experiment."
The two of them discussed it and then went back to work.
He Yuhan wasn't idle at home either, taking excellent care of the vegetable garden and fruit trees. Every morning and evening, Han Yixian would use the well pump to water the vegetable garden to prevent He Yuhan from getting tired. He Yuhan's job was simply to weed the vegetable garden.
The vegetables in the greenhouse are ready to eat. After breakfast, He Yuhan picked a bunch of spinach, a few large, tender, and green celery stalks, cut a bunch of chives, and also took half a basket of eggs and a piece of pork.
She placed the vegetables on top of the eggs and meat, then covered the vegetables with a cloth so that no one could see what they were.
Besides the vegetables, she also packed some food for her two nephews in a backpack before riding her bicycle back to her parents' home with the backpack and basket on her back.
The two little ones playing in the yard were the first to notice their aunt had returned. Gu Huayang quickly stood up and ran to the door, shouting, "Grandma He, Auntie's back!"
Upon hearing that her daughter had returned, Yu Huiru quickly came out of the house and took the basket from her daughter. "Why did you bring so much stuff again? Didn't I tell you, you're married now, you should take care of your own family and stop bringing things home all the time?"
He Yuhan, holding her two nephews with one hand and her mother's shoulder with the other, entered the house and said, "I didn't bring much. It's all vegetables grown at home. My brother and I can't finish them all, so I just asked you to help us use them up. This is what my brother asked me to do."
