The spring breeze is warm, and the three northeastern provinces have ushered in a new busy farming season. The fields are full of busy farmers. Compared with usual, there is one more thing for ordinary people to do, and that is to elect parliamentarians at all levels.
Since the first year of the Republic of China, various elections have been held in various places, but most of them have been mere formalities. It is difficult to imagine how a country that does not even know its population can hold universal suffrage.
Of course, due to the rural reforms in the Northeast, the literacy rate has also risen sharply. It can be said that there is a basis for elections. About 70% of the voters participated in the vote and elected the county councilors, and then these councilors were hierarchical in turn.
The higher-level council is elected.
This kind of election was the first time for the people and it was very new. Therefore, many people participated enthusiastically, and the media also reported it vigorously, thinking that this was a great progress in Chinese politics.
However, compared to the excitement outside, Zhang Tinglan has become a homebody. A month ago, Da Ya contracted a cold and coughed non-stop, which turned into pneumonia. Her pink face turned red because of the cough.
I couldn't eat anything, and my whole body was as hot as a charcoal, and my lips were cracked.
They couldn't sleep all night, and even if they fell asleep occasionally, they would be woken up by coughing and asthma. Seeing their daughter getting thinner and thinner, Zhang Tinglan and Zhou Xinyao's hearts were broken. Zhou Xinyao was proficient in medical skills and was almost inseparable.
Accompanying her and taking good care of her, Zhang Tinglan never leaves her as long as she handles official duties.
However, even with such careful care, Da Ya's illness still did not get better. Zhang Tinglan also invited several famous doctors, but everyone was helpless. Da Ya's illness came too quickly, and she couldn't eat anything, and her health became worse and worse.
Weak. The situation is very bad.
The doctors were helpless. In this era, it was almost like announcing a death declaration. Zhang Tinglan was immediately stunned. When the old man Zhang Zuoxiang heard this, his mouth was full of blisters. This precious granddaughter was the apple of his eye. Seeing him continue to be so sick.
, Zhang Zuoxiang almost fell ill
The handsome man's house was filled with gloom and gloom. At this moment, good news suddenly came from the pharmaceutical company, saying that the clinical trial of penicillin had achieved initial success. When Zhang Tinglan got the news, he was overjoyed. His daughter was saved!
Penicillin is also known as penicillin. During World War II, penicillin was used as a panacea to save the world. It almost changed the outcome of the war. As the first antibiotic discovered and put into large-scale use, it played an important role in the history of mankind.
function.
With the availability of penicillin, doctors no longer need to use red-hot knives to treat soldiers' wounds. A large number of wounded people have been spared the suffering of infection and can return to the battlefield. There are even rumors that even Hitler saved his life thanks to penicillin.
life.
Of course, Zhang Tinglan was not unaware of this epoch-making drug. More than a year ago, Zhang Tinglan deployed the development of penicillin. Fengtian chemists successfully discovered the antibacterial effect of penicillin, and then separated and purified it.
penicillin.
However, this is just the beginning for a new drug. Animal experiments and human experiments must be conducted to finally determine the efficacy, usage methods, and precautions. Otherwise, even if it is a life-saving drug, if the dosage is too high, it will
It can kill people, and penicillin is different from other things, and there is a considerable proportion of allergic reactions. If we don't study these clearly, we are making a joke on life.
Many drugs require several years or even more than ten years of observation before they can finally be put into clinical use. However, due to the strong demand for antibacterial drugs, pharmaceutical companies can only speed up and simplify the experimental process as much as possible. That's it, they
Hurrying and slowing down, we did not catch up with the fighting between China and Japan. There were still many wounded who died thinking they were infected.
After Zhang Tinglan received the report, she was overjoyed and hurriedly asked the doctor to bring penicillin to be used on her daughter. The pharmaceutical company also sent Dr. Luo Renfu, who was specially involved in the development of penicillin, to treat the little princess.
Seeing Luo Renfu checking Da Ya's condition, Zhou Xinyao felt flustered for no reason, and grabbed Zhang Tinglan's hand. Her face was full of haggard and panic, and she said worriedly: "I have to say, any new medicine may have serious side effects."
The consequences, Da Ya is so young, I'm afraid of her..." At this point, Zhou Xinyao couldn't talk any more.
Zhang Tinglan understood her mood very well and patted Zhou Xinyao on the shoulder: "Don't worry, Da Ya will be fine. I believe penicillin can definitely turn things around."
Zhou Xinyao reluctantly nodded and agreed to give Daya penicillin. Dr. Luo Renfu took out the needle for the skin test. Zhou Xinyao stared at him without blinking, not missing any movement, and the needle was inserted into her arm.
Ya immediately burst into tears, as if the needle had pierced Zhou Xinyao's heart, and two teardrops rolled down.
Zhang Tinglan also hugged her tightly. After a few minutes, Luo Renfu came over and said, "Commander, madam, the lady has no adverse reactions. I think you can take medicine."
"Well, just go ahead and do it, don't worry about anything!"
Zhang Tinglan said this, but his heart was in his throat. Luo Renfu was actually under greater pressure. He took a few deep breaths, barely stabilized his mood, and injected the prepared penicillin into Da Ya's body.
.
Luo Renfu let out a sigh of relief: "Commander, whether it can get better or not depends on whether the fever can subside. Once the inflammation subsides, it will prove that the treatment is effective."
Zhang Tinglan also nodded, while Zhou Xinyao hugged the big girl who was still crying. After a while, the little girl tilted her head because of exhaustion and fell asleep in Zhou Xinyao's arms. Zhou Xinyao did not dare to move.
, could only snuggle up to the bed, with Zhang Tinglan also leaning against her tightly.
"Xin Yao, look at Da Ya sleeping very sweetly. She seems to have never slept like this these days."
Zhou Xinyao nodded slightly: "My heart has suffered!"
After more than two hours, the big girl turned over and seemed to wake up. The little girl flattened her mouth and started crying, and murmured: "I'm hungry, I'm hungry..."
When Zhou Xinyao and Zhang Tinglan heard this, they were extremely happy. They wanted to eat, which was definitely a good sign. Zhou Xinyao hurriedly fed Daya herself.
In the next two days, Luo Renfu injected Daya with penicillin three more times. The fever subsided, the cough also eased, the throat did not feel like a bellows, and Daya's appetite became better and better, and her face even
A smile appeared, and the situation in Shuai Mansion suddenly turned brighter.
His daughter's illness also made Zhang Tinglan feel that as a father, he owed his daughter too much, and simply pushed him to a lot of government affairs. He stayed with his daughter wholeheartedly, personally prepared milk powder for her, washed her clothes, and took care of her every day.
My daughter dresses up beautifully, tells her stories, plays with her, and makes trouble with her.
Zhang Tinglan also took the time to ask about the situation of rosin-assisted penicillin. If this antibacterial medicine can be widely used quickly, I don’t know how many soldiers will benefit from it.
The news given by Luo Renfu is also very exciting: "Large-scale industrial production is already under research, and the results will be available within half a year. I believe that our soldiers will be able to use this miraculous drug in a year!"
Zhang Tinglan was very happy. After seeing off Luo Renfu, he happened to pass by the main hall of the handsome manor. His father Zhang Zuoxiang was sitting inside. Zhang Tinglan also smiled and said: "Dad, you didn't go to see Da Ya?"
"Let's go, why don't you come out and have a cigarette?" Zhang Zuoxiang pondered for a moment, and then said: "I understand, you feel sorry for Da Ya, but we still have to take care of the child, so you should take care of serious things, right?
!”
"Dad, what do you mean?"
"What's the point? About the election, I heard some people say that there are many disadvantages, especially in rural areas. Many congressmen rely on giving money and gifts in exchange for votes. Whoever votes for me will receive twenty kilograms of rice.
, a pound of soybean oil, and some people even directly pay them, shouldn’t this kind of thing be taken care of?”
"Dad, when we didn't have votes before, we had nothing. Now at least we can exchange them for rice and soybean oil, which can be considered an improvement." Zhang Tinglan said with a slight smile.
Zhang Zuoxiang's eyes widened immediately: "Idiot, you are being ridiculous. This election is an unprecedented event. Didn't you say that those great powers relied on elections to become rich and powerful? You don't think so.
Don’t care, be careful if something goes wrong!”
"Dad, I'm afraid elections don't have such a big effect. Let me tell you, democratic elections are like panacea. A little more is better than a little less, but that's all. It may have some effect on headaches and brain fever, but when it comes to manual writing,
It is useless to apply snake oil all over the body for a serious illness. And the problems China is currently facing are all serious and serious problems. Without strong medicine, there is absolutely no hope. To put it bluntly, can the great powers be driven away by voting?
, isn’t it the barrel of the gun that has the final say?”
It was also the first time for Zhang Zuoxiang to hear Zhang Tinglan commenting on the election like this. He was also a little stunned: "I would like to say, since you look down on the election, why do you still push it?"
"In the long run, democracy will definitely become bigger and bigger. There is nothing wrong with doing a little training in advance, and it is much more convenient to do things based on public opinion under a layer of cloak. But in the end, it still depends on the strength in hand.
, just like China now, without the support of strong power, can the issue of the highest position be solved by relying on elections?"
After Zhang Zuoxiang heard this, he also laughed loudly: "I'd like to say that you have really grown up and dare to show your mind in front of the world. But have you thought about how the government's power will be vested in the future?"
Don’t you want to take another step up?”
Zhang Zuoxiang can let go of other things, but he can't be indifferent to such important matters. If he had been in that position before, he would have established a foundation and become the founding king of a country. What a glorious position it would be.
The Zhang family has this blessing, which is a major event that will mark the history.
"Dad, I always feel that the time is not yet ripe. What I mean is to let Li Yuanhong continue to serve as president, and then hand over the prime minister to Tang Shaoyi, so that we can have control over the central government."
"No, I would like to say that people's hearts are always heading for higher places. If Tang Shaoyi becomes prime minister and arrives in the capital, it will be difficult to control the situation. You must have a corresponding position, otherwise it will be a hidden danger."
Zhang Tinglan thought for a moment and had to nod. His father was really wise. He smiled and said: "Dad, why don't you try to serve as president for two terms? I will have time to make detours."
"Wishful thinking!" Zhang Zuoxiang refused unceremoniously: "I am in my old age, and I should leave such a difficult task to young people to manage the whole world!"
Zhang Zuoxiang stood up with a smile, blew his pipe, and said with a smile: "I'm going to see my precious granddaughter. Just think about which position I should grab."
…
With the completion of the elections for provincial members, the election of members of Congress has also come to the last moment. According to the election results, the New Democratic Party won 453 of the 632 seats in the House of Representatives, exceeding a two-thirds majority. Among the 274 seats in the Senate,
Occupying 156 seats, it has become the well-deserved largest party in Congress. It is even more brilliant than the result of Song Jiaoren's election.
In particular, it is worth mentioning that the South has traditionally been the vote base of the Democratic Party, and now the Northeast and Northwest have been added, making the Democratic Party's support wider. As for the direct Republican Party, it only won 103 seats in the House of Representatives, and only 103 seats in the Senate.
48 seats. These seats mainly come from Henan and Hebei provinces.
Originally, Shandong was also a direct vote bank, but due to the problems in Qingdao, Fengjun won the approval of the elders in Shandong, and this populous province also turned to Fengjun.
In addition to these two major factions, there are also some local princes sandwiched in the middle, and there are also several non-party people who have entered the Congress. In a mature parliament, non-partisans have no chance at all, but the current parliament obviously
Not yet mature.
The lively parliamentary election is over, the rise of the New Democratic Party, and Fengjun's intervention in the Central Plains have become an irreversible trend. However, many people are still observing what measures Fengjun will take, whether to directly go into battle naked or support an agent.
.
It stands to reason that Zhang Tinglan has enough prestige and strength to become the president. The only problem is that he is too young. According to the presidential election law, he needs to be forty years old to run. Therefore, everyone generally believes that Zhang Tinglan will launch a Fengcian faction.
The elders, either Zhang Zuoxiang or Sun Liechen, then controlled the machine from behind.
After the real news was announced, everyone was surprised. The New Democratic Party still promoted Li Yuanhong and supported him as the president. However, among the running mates, Zhang Tinglan was unexpectedly included, which means that Zhang Tinglan will compete for the vice president.
's throne.
This is big news. In fact, the vice president is a useless role in many cases. Li Yuanhong once served as the vice president for a long time, but he just looked good, so there is no age limit. However, Zhang Tinglan is not like that. If he serves as the vice president,
The president is probably more powerful than the president.
Yang Du, who had been paying attention to the changes in the political situation, was overjoyed when he got the news. He pulled Xia Shoutian and smiled and said: "Zhang Zhuoyan made a wonderful move. The president still has a term, but the vice president has
It is the best buffer. From now on, there will be a master in this world!" (To be continued...)
