“After waiting for a year, the prizes have not been distributed. I asked people to ask several times and they were told that the distribution has not started yet. I have too many things to do and I don’t have the energy to take care of it. I didn’t hear that the organizer had contacted the winners before I took office. Yes, all the prizes have been given out. The problem is that no one has contacted me!" At this point, Zhang Xiao was a little bit dumbfounded.
As the saying goes, there must be a monster when something goes wrong, and several people have already smelled a strange smell. As Marx said, when there is 300% profit, they dare to trample on all human laws, let alone drugs that are dozens or hundreds of times more profitable.
"Should we inform the Cheka that the audit should be theirs?" Lin Motian raised a key question, "Did the Cheka not find any problems before?"
"Maybe Cheka is not familiar with medicines." Fu Qiliang added, "They may not understand medicines."
"Okay, let's not talk about these spoilers for now. Today we only talk about romance, not state affairs. Come on, let's go."
"This is a big matter." Deng Bojun pretended to be serious, "We must get to the bottom of it! There are so many medicines!"
It seemed that he looked upright and upright, but in fact Lin Motian knew that he was grieving for the medicines that had been "floated away" - how much more money could he make!
Although the purposes are different, Lin Motian also has the same attitude. If so many medicines can be brought to the hospital, more people's lives can be saved. Although people living in the diaspora can be cured, there is no relevant diagnosis and treatment, and they can be used casually as if they were "miraculous medicines." Sometimes they cannot save people, but even harm them.
"I also think this matter should be investigated clearly. After all, medicines are not ordinary things. If used indiscriminately, people will die."
Zheng Mingjiang took out a small notebook and wrote down the matter, "Okay, I'll check it out. Anyway, I have nothing to do."
"Do you have the authority to investigate the case?" Lin Motian asked.
"Since it involves drugs, we will tentatively classify it as a counterfeit drug case. Our health department has police. The health police are under our business guidance. As the veteran of the health department, there is no problem for me to take the lead in investigating this case."
"The son of a rich man cannot sit down in court. As a distinguished veteran, you should pay attention to safety when you personally preside over the counterfeit drug case." Zhang Xiao advised, "Why don't we let the Cheka or the police handle this matter? Isn't it right for you to do it yourself? The battle is too big.”
"No, no, I'm afraid there are quite a lot involved in this matter. As the victim, we, the health department, also took action to show that we take it seriously." Zheng Mingjiang said.
"If the case can be investigated, it will be like rain from heaven." Deng Bojun danced with joy, "How many more lives can our hospital save!"
"hehe."
"Since we have no shortage of medicine, I will find a way to apply for some emergency help." Lin Motian's mood was indescribable. "Speaking of this, I remembered that Du Yibin handed over a note the day before yesterday, saying that Zhang Jiayu's mother was ill. Please go to him and ask me to take a look. I originally said that I would go after finishing what I was doing, but I was so busy that I forgot about it. I didn’t expect that in the end, the person begged directly to County Magistrate Zhang!”
Zheng Mingjiang nodded and said: "Yes, you can urgently apply for another batch from Lingao and order it in the name of 'special use'. Then ask the pharmaceutical company in Lingao to send us the logistics node information separately. It's just right. Find out which link has the problem, and check every naturalized citizen you can contact."
The antibiotic incident is like a black box. All we know is that Lingao Pharmaceutical Factory continuously imports antibiotics, but the quantity of antibiotics output does not match at all. As for the operating mechanism inside, we can only guess.
Zheng Mingjiang decided to start with the Hearthstone Powder that appeared on the market. Anyway, he was idle in Guangzhou.
However, Zheng Mingjiang did not conduct any unannounced visits on her own. This was not because she was unwilling to go deep into the front line, but because she felt that there was a risk of alerting the enemy if she went there. After all, the clerk immediately recognized her as a veteran that day, although she did not know her specific details. who is it. But as a senator, especially a female senator, she might be more conspicuous in Guangzhou City, so she sent her guards and life secretary to go out to inquire.
After telling Jingshan to be careful when going out, Zheng Mingjiang sat on the sofa drinking tea and reading the newspaper. Today's "Yangcheng Express" spent a lot of space introducing the new Nanhai District Mayor Zhang Xiao, and boasted about how good Zhang Pharmacist is. He is the light of the Senate, has countless living people, is charitable, shows compassion for the elderly and the poor, and loves the people like a son. That's it, bragging doesn't pay taxes anyway.
"Haha! If I didn't know you, I would believe it."
After reading the Yangcheng Express, Zheng Mingjiang carefully checked the situation around Guangzhou, especially the traditional medicinal materials market.
Although the antibiotics must have left the Senate, it is not clear exactly where the problem occurred, where they were stored after being dispersed, how they were sold, and how they were circulated on the black market. Maybe the center is Guangzhou, maybe no longer, but it will always be related to medicinal materials.
Zheng Mingjiang’s understanding of the Chinese herbal medicine market is still limited to the four major markets of Bozhou in Anhui, Yuzhou in Henan, Hehuachi in Chengdu, and Anguo in Hebei in the old time. He had the impression that there was a Qingping market in Guangzhou, but those were in the 1970s and 1980s. It's a matter of time, and there is not even a shadow of it in this time and space.
Usually, the area of traditional Chinese medicine is under Liu San's charge. She has no intention of stealing Liu San's business, so she doesn't care much about it.
At present, it seems that one of the nearby medicinal materials markets is in Foshan, and Runshitang, which is closely related to the Senate, has a branch here. Foshan is a famous town in the world, with many people coming and going, but unlike Guangzhou City, it is under the nose of the Senate, and there may be distribution. The other is Luofu Mountain, in Huizhou.
The "Dongtian Medicine Market" in Luofu Mountain was opened in the Song Dynasty and was once the largest medicine market in Lingnan. It was known as the four major markets in Lingnan together with Guangzhou Fangcun Flower Market, Guangxi Hepuzhu Market and Dongguan Liaobuxiang Market. In its heyday, the medicine market stretched for miles, and medicine dealers from Lingnan and even Southeast Asia gathered there. Although the area around Luofu Mountain in another time and space retains some functions of a pharmaceutical market, with several pharmaceutical companies such as Luofu Mountain Sinopharm and Pioneer Pharmaceuticals, it is generally lonely, so Zheng Mingjiang is not familiar with it.
In addition, although Huizhou is under the attack of the Fubo Army, it has not been in-depth governance. Zheng Mingjiang believes that there is a high probability that Huizhou will not be a distribution center for black market antibiotics. After all, this place does not even have a few planning cadres. In addition, the distance is longer, and from a safety perspective, it is definitely not as good as Foshan. Therefore, Zheng Mingjiang decided that if he wanted to go out for inspection, it would be safer to choose Foshan. Such large-scale antibiotics will definitely be circulated in the surrounding areas. They cannot just be concentrated in Guangzhou. Firstly, Guangzhou may not be able to eat them. Secondly, if they are dispersed, they can create artificial scarcity and increase black market prices.
Although she came out to relax, Guangzhou City still sent her some internal reference materials. Jingshan neatly stacked the file boxes on the desk before going out. Zheng Mingjiang picked up another one and flipped through it: "It's so expensive! "
According to the report of the Foreign Intelligence Service, so-called miracle medicines have appeared in Hankou, Nanjing, and even Beijing. Like the Hearthstone Powder that appeared around Guangzhou, it boasts that it can cure all kinds of redness, swelling, heat, pain, and diseases. The highest-priced ones are actually available. Fifty taels of silver per box.
Unexpectedly, the circulation in the black market is quite fast, Zheng Mingjiang complained, or in other words, it has been so long since the crime occurred, it is enough to circulate in these big cities. Fifty taels of silver is a large amount of money for an ordinary naturalized citizen cadre. For example, it is enough to pay her secretary twenty months' salary. These people make a lot of money, it would be great if they can kill them.
After Jingshan wandered around Guangzhou City for a few days, he bought back various "magic medicines" from several small drug stores and wandering doctors at a high price of one tael of silver per pack, including the so-called Hearthstone Powder.
"It's so expensive," Jingshan complained as she sorted out the samples she bought. "The ones on the table are enough to buy me back. I heard Jinghan say that the price was lower in Shandong back then, and everything could be done I bought three or four girls. I got these drug dealers for nothing."
"Okay, okay, I can't bear to let the child catch the wolf. It also costs money to handle the case." Zheng Mingjiang took out the microscope to adjust it, "I will take you out to play in two days."
Zheng Mingjiang looked into the eyepiece while flipping through the simplified version of "Traditional Chinese Medicine Identification" that had been reviewed by Truth Publishing House. This was a blind spot in her knowledge. Through the eyepiece, rows of cork cells with wider cortex, single or scattered stone cells in groups, bundles of pericycle fibers and vascular bundles can be observed. Okay, very typical Coptis chinensis. In addition, there is a relatively pure powder dyed yellow. It is obvious at a glance that it is the crystallization of Lingao Industry. Unfortunately, there is no way to conduct chemical analysis in Guangzhou, so the chemical ingredients cannot be determined for the time being.
Zheng Mingjiang observed and identified more than a dozen packages of "miraculous medicine" bought by Jingshan, and found that in addition to coptis, there were also other traditional Chinese medicine ingredients depending on the packaging and brand size, but no matter what packaging, brand size, or name was used, , all have some kind of chemical compound powder.
As Zheng Mingjiang expected, these people should have mixed antibiotics with powdered Chinese medicine to make the so-called "magic medicine" and sold it at high prices to make huge profits. This routine can be regarded as the ancestor of counterfeiting and counterfeiting that was common in old times.
She found Lin Motian and asked him to find a senior pharmacist from the Runshitang Guangzhou store to smell the various Hearthstone Powders she bought one by one to identify the added Chinese medicinal ingredients.
Finally, after identification by experienced pharmacists, these "magic medicines" ranged from at least one to as many as five or six, all of which contained traditional Chinese medicine ingredients. In addition to Coptis chinensis, there are also medicines such as Tianqi, bezoar, and snake gallbladder.
Although Zheng Mingjiang does not understand traditional Chinese medicine, it is likely that these drugs have the effects of clearing away heat and detoxifying, dissipating blood stasis and stopping bleeding, reducing swelling and relieving pain, and have certain anti-infective capabilities in traditional Chinese medicine. Blending in it can indeed have a certain effect. Not a complete fake.
