Chapter 696: Vice President

The spring breeze is warm, and the three eastern provinces have ushered in a new busy agricultural season, and the fields are full of busy farmers. Compared with the usual, for the people, there is one more thing, that is, the election of 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 are mere formalities. It is hard to imagine how a country that does not even know how many people have to achieve universal suffrage.

Of course, as a result of the rural reforms, the literacy rate in the northeast has skyrocketed, and there is barely a basis for elections, with about 70 percent of the electorate voting to elect the county councillors, who then in turn elect the higher councils.

This kind of election is the first time for the people, and it is very new, so many people enthusiastically participated, and the media also reported it vigorously, believing that this was a great progress in Chinese politics.

However, compared to the excitement outside, Zhang Tinglan has become an otaku, and the eldest girl contracted a cold a month ago, and as a result, she coughed and became pneumonia. The pink little face was red because of the cough, and he couldn't eat anything, and he was so hot that his lips were cracked like small coals.

couldn't sleep all night, even if they fell asleep occasionally, they would be awakened because of coughing and wheezing, seeing their daughter getting thinner and thinner, Zhang Tinglan and Zhou Xinyao's hearts were about to break. Zhou Xinyao herself is proficient in medical skills, and she is almost always by her side, taking care of her, and Zhang Tinglan will never leave as long as she handles official business.

But even with such careful care, the eldest girl's illness still did not improve, Zhang Tinglan also invited a few famous doctors, but everyone was helpless, the eldest girl's illness came too quickly, and she couldn't eat, and her body became weaker and weaker. The situation is very bad.

The doctors were helpless, in this era, it was equivalent to announcing a death statement, Zhang Tinglan was stunned for a moment, the old man Zhang Zuoxiang heard it, and suddenly burst out with a mouth full of blisters, this baby granddaughter is the pearl of his palm, seeing that he is so sick, Zhang Zuo almost fell ill

In the marshal's mansion, the gloomy clouds are bleak. At this time, the 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, she was overjoyed, her daughter was saved!

Penicillin is also known as penicillin. During World War II, penicillin was used as a panacea to save the world. Almost changed the outcome of the war. It was the first antibiotic to be discovered and put into large-scale use. It has an important role in the history of mankind.

With penicillin, doctors no longer need to use red-hot knives to treat soldiers' wounds, and a large number of wounded are free from infection and can return to the battlefield. It is even rumored that even Hitler was saved thanks to penicillin.

For this epoch-making drug, Zhang Tinglan will certainly not be unclear. More than a year ago, Zhang Tinglan deployed the development of penicillin. Chemists in Mukden succeeded in discovering the antimicrobial effects of penicillin, which was then isolated and purified.

However, this is just the beginning for a new drug, and animal experiments, human experiments, zuihou to determine the efficacy, use, and precautions. Otherwise, even if it is a life-saving medicine, if the dose is too large, it will kill people, and penicillin is different from other things, and there is a considerable proportion of allergic reactions, if you don't study these clearly, it is a joke of life.

Many drugs need to go through several years, or even more than ten years of observation, before Zuihou can be put into clinical application. However, due to the strong demand for antimicrobial drugs, pharmaceutical companies can only speed up and simplify the experimental process as much as possible. That's it, they hurried and hurried, and they didn't catch up with the battle between China and Japan, and there were still many wounded who thought they were infected and sacrificed.

After Zhang Tinglan got the report, she was overjoyed and hurriedly asked the doctor to bring penicillin over and prepare to use it for her daughter. The pharmaceutical company also sent Dr. Luo Renfu, who was specifically involved in the development of penicillin, to treat the little princess.

Watching Luo Renfu inspect the situation of the eldest girl, Zhou Xinyao was flustered for no reason, and grabbed Zhang Tinglan's hand, her face was full of haggard and frightened, and said worriedly: "Humble words, any new medicine may have serious consequences, the eldest girl is so young, I am afraid that she will ......" Speaking of this, Zhou Xinyao couldn't say it anymore.

Zhang Tinglan also understood her mood very well, and patted Zhou Xinyao on the shoulder: "Don't worry, the big girl will be fine, I believe that penicillin will definitely be able to turn things around." ”

Zhou Xinyao also nodded reluctantly and agreed to use penicillin for the eldest girl. Dr. Luo Renfu took out the needle for the skin test, Zhou Xinyao stared at him without blinking, not letting go of any movement, the needle pierced into her arm, the eldest girl immediately cried loudly, and the needle seemed to pierce Zhou Xinyao's heart, and two teardrops rolled down.

Zhang Tinglan also hugged her tightly, and finally after a few minutes, Luo Renfu came over: "Dashuai, madam, Miss has no adverse reactions, I think I can use medicine." ”

"Well, just do it, don't worry about anything!"

Zhang Tinglan said this, but his heart was also hanging in his throat, and the pressure on Luo Renfu was actually greater, he took a few deep breaths, barely stabilized his mind, and injected the debugging haode penicillin into the body of the big girl.

Luo Renfu let out a sigh: "Dashuai, whether it can get better depends on whether the fever can go away next, once the inflammation is weakened, it proves that the treatment is effective." ”

Zhang Tinglan also nodded, Zhou Xinyao hugged the big girl who was still crying, and after a while, the little girl fell asleep in Zhou Xinyao's arms because she was exhausted, tilted her little head, and fell asleep in Zhou Xinyao's arms.

"Xin Yao, you see that the eldest girl sleeps very sweetly, she doesn't seem to have slept like this these days."

Zhou Xinyao nodded slightly: "My heart and liver, suffer!" ”

After more than two hours, the big girl rolled over and seemed to wake up. The little girl cried with a flat mouth, and muttered in her mouth: "Hungry, hungry......"

When Zhou Xinyao and Zhang Tinglan heard this, they were immediately very happy, and they wanted to eat, which was definitely a good phenomenon, Zhou Xinyao hurriedly breastfed the eldest girl in person.

Over the next two days. Luo Renfu injected the big girl with penicillin three more times, the fever subsided, the cough was reduced, the throat was not like pulling a bellows, the big girl's appetite was getting better and better, and even a smile appeared on her face, and the Shuai Mansion suddenly turned cloudy.

The daughter's illness also made Zhang Tinglan feel that she owed her daughter too much as a father, so she simply pushed it to a lot of government affairs. Attentively accompanied her daughter, made milk powder for her by herself, washed her clothes, dressed her up beautifully every day, and told her stories. Play with her and make trouble with her.

Zhang Tinglan also inquired about Luo Ren's penicillin. This antimicrobial elixir. If we can achieve large-scale application soon, I don't know how many soldiers will benefit from it.

And the news given by Luo Renfu is also very exciting: "Large-scale industrial production is already being studied, and within half a year, the results will be produced, and I believe that in a year, our soldiers will be able to use this miraculous drug!" ”

Zhang Tinglan was very happy. After sending Luo Renfu away, he happened to pass by the main hall of Shuaifu, and his father Zhang Zuoxiang sat inside, and Zhang Tinglan also said with a smile: "Dad." You didn't go to see the big girl? ”

"Go, isn't this coming out and smoking a cigarette!" Zhang Zuoxiang pondered slightly, and then said: "Humble words, I know that you are distressed, but the child is still taken care of by us, you should also take care of serious things!" ”

"Dad, what do you mean by that?"

"What's the point, about the election, I heard some people say that there are a lot of drawbacks, especially in rural areas, where many legislators rely on handing out money and goods in exchange for votes. Whoever votes for me will receive 20 catties of rice, a catty of soybean oil, and some people will even send money directly, shouldn't this kind of thing be taken care of? ”

"Dad, when there were no votes before, there was nothing, but now at least I can exchange rice and soybean oil, which is also a kind of progress." Zhang Tinglan smiled slightly.

Zhang Zuoxiang's eyes immediately widened: "Humble words, you don't like words, this election is an unprecedented big event, doesn't it mean that those powers rely on elections to become rich and powerful?" You don't care at all, be careful that something goes wrong! ”

"Dad, I'm afraid the election doesn't have such a big effect, if you want me to say, democratic elections are like a panacea, a little more, a little less is better, but that's all. Headache and brain fever may have some effect, but when it comes to the serious illness of the knife and handbook, the panacea is useless. The problems that China is currently encountering are all terminally ill and big, and there is absolutely no hope without drastic medicine. To put it mildly, by voting, can you drive the powers away, isn't it still the barrel of a gun that Zuihou has the final say? ”

It was the first time for Zhang Zuoxiang to hear Zhang Tinglan comment on the election, and he was also a little stunned: "Clumsy words, since you look down on the election, why do you still push it?" ”

"In the long run, democracy is definitely getting bigger and bigger, and there is nothing wrong with doing a little training in advance, and it is much more convenient to put on a coat and do things in the name of public opinion. But when it comes to zuihou, it still depends on the strength in the hand, just like the current China, without the support of a strong liliang, relying on the election, can it solve the problem of the highest position? ”

After Zhang Zuoxiang listened, he was also hahadaxiao: "Humble words, you kid has really grown up, and you dare to play tricks in front of the world." But have you thought about it, how the power of the government should belong in the future, and do you want to go one step further? ”

Zhang Zuoxiang can let go of other things, but he can't do this kind of big thing without care, if he was placed in the past, he sat in that position, even if he opened the foundation and established a career, he was the founder of a dynasty, what a glorious status, if the Zhang family had this blessing, it would be a big thing in history.

"Dad, I always feel that the time is not yet ripe, I mean let Li Yuanhong continue to serve as the president, and then the prime minister of the cabinet will be handed over to Tang Shaoyi, so that we will have control over the central government."

"No, humble words, this person's heart always goes to a high place, if Tang Shaoyi becomes the prime minister, when he arrives in the capital, it will be difficult to control remotely, you must have a corresponding position, otherwise it will be a hidden danger."

Zhang Tinglan thought for a while, and had to nod, Dad's insight is indeed clever, he said with a smile: "Dad, if you don't try to be the president for two terms, I will have a roundabout time." ”

"Wishful thinking!" Zhang Zuoxiang unceremoniously refused: "I am a young man, I manage the whole world, such a difficult thing, let's leave it to young people!" ”

Zhang Zuoxiang stood up with a smile, knocked his cigarette pouch, and said with a smile: "I'll go to see my baby granddaughter, and you can think about what position to grab for me." ”

……

According to the election results, the House of Representatives has 632 seats, and the New People's Party has won 453 seats, which has exceeded a two-thirds majority, and the 274 seats in the Senate also account for 156 seats, becoming the well-deserved largest party in the National Assembly, which is even more brilliant than the results of the original election of Song Jiaoren.

In particular, it is worth mentioning that the South has traditionally been the vote base of the Kuomintang, and now the Northeast and Northwest have been added, making the Kuomintang's support even wider. As for the direct Republicans, they only won 103 seats in the House of Representatives and only 48 seats in the Senate. These seats are mainly from Henan and Hebei provinces.

Originally, Shandong was also a direct ticket warehouse, but due to the problem of Qingdao, Fengjun won the recognition of Shandong's fathers and elders, and this province with a large population also fell to Fengjun.

In addition to these two factions, there were a number of local princes caught in the middle, and several non-partisan figures entered the parliament. In a mature parliament, there is no chance at all for the non-partisan, but the current parliament is clearly not mature.

The lively parliamentary elections are over, the rise of the New People's Party, and Fengjun's intervention in the Central Plains has become an irreversible trend, but many people are still observing what measures Fengjun will take, whether to go into battle shirtless directly or support an agent.

It stands to reason that Zhang Tinglan is enough to become president in terms of prestige and strength, but there is one problem, that is, he is too young, according to the presidential election law, he needs to be forty years old to run for election, so it is generally believed that Zhang Tinglan will launch a patriarch of the Feng family, or Zhang Zuoxiang, or Sun Liechen, and then he will control it remotely behind his back.

After the real news was announced, everyone was taken aback, the New People's Party still launched Li Yuanhong and supported him as president, but among the running mates, Zhang Tinglan was unexpectedly among them, that is, Zhang Tinglan wanted to fight for the vice president's throne.

This is a big news, the vice president is actually a chicken role in many times, Li Yuanhong has been the vice president for a long time, but he just looks good, so there is no age limit, but Zhang Tinglan is not, if he becomes the vice president, I am afraid that he will be more powerful than the president.

Yang Du, who has been paying attention to the changes in the political situation, was overjoyed when he got the news, and pulled Xia Shoutian and said with a smile: "Zhang Shuyan has made a wonderful move, the president still has a term, but this vice president is the most haode buffer, from now on, there will be a master in this world!"
