In the summer of the first year of Xingtang (1930), just when the Tang Empire was in urgent need of population, the largest warlord melee broke out in modern times on the eastern Central Plains. The National Army, Northwest Army, Shanxi Sui Army, Gui Army, and Northeast Army, millions of troops attacked each other on the Central Plains for a long time and a huge scale, which affected tens of millions of innocent people, had unprecedented destructive power, and direct economic losses of 13 billion US dollars.

For a moment, wolf smoke roared on the Central Plains, and blood flowed into a river, just like hell on earth.

Factory, schools, shops, and private houses were plundered back and forth like warlords and scattered soldiers. Merchants fled with money, workers were laid off, schools were suspended, teachers were unemployed, students transferred, poor people were forced to go away to avoid disaster, what awaited them was the great famine on the road, the robbers were plundered, and the people were living in poverty.

The Tang Empire government quickly seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity and transported some of the food purchased cheaply from the United States, South America and Australia to mainland China through humanitarian rescue, and set up disaster relief sites across the country. Tens of thousands of fugitives surrounded the disaster relief sites every day.

"Come to our Tang Empire! As long as you are strong and willing to endure hardships, as long as you have a skill, as long as you have been studying and able to read and write, you can work in the Tang Empire. There, you have generous salary and benefits, and the money you earn in a month is enough for you to make money in one year now. As long as you are willing to make progress and contribute to the Tang Empire, the government will live in a foreign building, equip you with cars, and arrange better jobs for you."

"Where is the Tang Empire? Have you never heard of it?"

A young and strong man suddenly asked. At this time, a staff member explained to them.

"The Tang Empire is in the most beautiful place in the world, where there is no war or oppression. I promise that you will fall in love with it if you go there."

"We are all scared of being cheated. Let's have some practical things. How much is the ocean for you to work for a month?"

"What are you doing, what are your abilities?"

"From childhood to adulthood, I have been working as a blacksmith for twenty years!"

“Can weld it?”

"I have been burned in a foreigner factory for three years!"

"Be a welder, your monthly salary is thirty Tang Yuan!"

"Duyuan? Twenty dumplings in a month? Not enough for me to eat!"

"Tang Yuan is the currency of the Tang Empire, not glutinous rice balls! One Tang Yuan is equal to one dollar, equivalent to five dollars to the ocean. If you do it, come and register!"

Wow, these dumplings are so expensive!

"What else can I say? I'll sign up!"

A welder actually earned 150 yuan a month, and the crowd was suddenly infuriated. This is the money that domestic welder can only earn for seven or eight months.

"I've burned the welding too! Can I go?"

"Yes! Please do as much as you want! Go to Shed No. 3 to register!"

"I have worked as a bricklayer, why don't you?"

"You want! The monthly salary of bricklayers is 20 yuan! Go to Shed No. 7 to register!"

"Do you want me to be a teacher?"

"I am a doctor, do you want it?"

"I am a blast furnace worker, do you want it?"

...

"If you want it! If you want it, you want it! There is a notice over there that says the people we need and the job that suits you!"

"Remember, after you sign up, we will take the exam, don't let anyone fail!"

...

During the entire Central Plains War, the Tang Empire recruited talents from all walks of life, including ordinary workers, technical workers, scholars, teachers, doctors, etc. in various places in China on a large scale, with more than 1.5 million people signing up, of which the number of people who were assessed reached 800,000, but this time, only the top 500,000 people who met the requirements were selected, and the other 300,000 people could only be eliminated.

The reason why the upper limit of 500,000 people was set is mainly because the Tang Empire could only accommodate 500,000 people for the time being, because many residential and urban supporting facilities have not been built yet, and they must be done step by step.

The more than 300,000 additional people were arranged to the next large-scale immigration operation, and they were given the right to go to the Tang and Republic of China first. However, it was basically a year later. Obviously, they might not be willing to wait for the hunger and cold.

The Tang Empire really underestimated the mood and will of the Chinese working people who were conservative wars and poverty-stricken persecution. When they learned the specific location of the Tang Empire and learned the generous treatment of the Tang Empire, many of them no longer played according to common sense. They chose to spend all their money to raise funds to go to the Tang Empire, and to spend a small amount of money to smuggle the Tang Empire.

Since the Tang Empire was in a period of incomplete development, the energy of government agencies was attracted to national construction, and many policies and regulations have not been implemented and implemented for the time being, leaving many loopholes, making large-scale smuggling possible.

During the first five years when the national construction of the Tang Empire was completed and on track, there were as many as hundreds of thousands of Chinese who smuggled into the Tang Empire, which once had a great impact on the Tang Empire. However, these people who smuggled in the Tang Empire just wanted to find a job that could make a living. The Tang Empire quickly resettled them out of humanitarian and national construction needs, allowing them to contribute to the national construction of the Tang Empire like others and make a contribution.

Fortunately, the Tang Empire is located in the tropical zone, and these smuggled people do not have to worry about being frozen. Zhang Meng is carrying out a large-scale national strategic material reserve, with sufficient food and medical medicine, so they do not have to worry about starvation and illness.

Although Zhang Meng ordered the large granary built to be vacuum-enclosed and installed with air conditioners and dehumidifiers for storage, which can theoretically be stored for more than 20 years, Zhang Meng was still worried.

According to his plan, every three to five years, the food inside will be taken out for consumption, sold, and then replaced with fresh food and stored again.

Tens of millions of tons of grain are stored in the granary of the Tang Empire and replaced the original old grain every year. The population and industry of the Tang Empire cannot consume such a huge amount of grain at all. It is not cost-effective to buy it at a low price and sell it at a low price, so the huge freight will be wasted.

It just so happened that Zhang Meng purchased and built a large number of farms and ranches in Australia. The farms produced grain and supplied them to the Tang Empire. The ranches raised various livestock to provide fresh meat food for the Tang Empire. These farms and ranches required a large number of people, and Zhang Meng could not believe in the local Australians, so they could be used to resettle smuggling personnel on a large scale to work.

At the same time, Zhang Meng discovered a method to preserve grain in disguise. Generally, various livestock in pastures grow for a long time and survive for a long time. They raise livestock on a large scale with cheaply purchased grains, so that they can continue to reproduce on a large scale and convert grain into meat. This can improve the physical quality of the people of the Tang Empire and easily realize the strategic reserve of grain. After all, meat is also considered food.

As a result, the Tang Empire built thousands of large and medium-sized ranches in Australia and raised livestock on a large scale. Only some of the livestock were slaughtered every year to supply the market demand for meat from the Tang Empire. Most of the other livestock continued to be retained and continued to reproduce and expand. When the world war broke out, it would be a huge profit.

Of course, a very critical danger also exists, which is more dangerous and greater than Zhang Meng's concern about the deterioration of grain in the granary.

This is the natural enemy of livestock - the plague.

Although in Zhang Meng's strategic reserve plan, the reserves of medicines, alcohol, medical devices and other reserves account for a huge share, the efficacy of medicines in this era is still very low, especially in the face of plague, there is almost no good solution.

It is precisely because officials of the Imperial Ministry of Agriculture raised this serious problem that Zhang Meng remembered that the most important thing that had not been done yet, that is, the large-scale industrial production of spectral antibiotics, which is known as the gold of medicine - penicillin.

In the summer of 1928, Fleming forgot that the bacteria were growing in the petri dish in the laboratory. Three weeks later, when he returned to the laboratory, he noticed a ball of turquoise mold growing in a Staphylococcus aureus dish that had accidentally come into contact with the air. When observing the dish with a microscope, Fleming found that the Staphylococcus colonies around the mold had been dissolved. This means that some secretions of the mold can inhibit Staphylococcus.

Subsequent identification showed that the above-mentioned mold was Penicillium, so Fleming called the antibacterial substance it secreted as penicillin. Unfortunately, Fleming had never found a method to extract high-purity penicillin, so he cultured the Penicillium strain from generation to generation, and in 1939, he provided the strain to British pathologist Flory and biochemist Qian En who prepared a system to study penicillin. It was not until 1942 that they found an industrial production method.

Zhang Meng's penicillin industry method was inspired by the secret recipe for anti-plague by the Peruvian Mayans. A large amount of penicillin-melted melon from Peru combined with corn grown in the holy mountain red soil from Mexico as a petri dish, and the penicillin crystals needed by the industry can be extracted in large quantities to achieve industrial production of penicillin.

After thinking about it, Zhang Meng immediately sent someone to St. Mary's University where Fleming was located, and bought all the research materials on penicillin in Fleming's hands, and took away the only penicillin strain in the world.

At the same time, Zhang Meng also sent people to Peru and Mexico to introduce the seeds and planting experience of Pohetian melon and red clay corn to a large farm established in Australia for planting.

Although pharmaceutical development is also entrusted to the Biomedical Department of Datang National Laboratory, pharmaceutical production does not fall within the jurisdiction of Datang Heavy Industry, but is responsible for Datang Third Heavy Industry.

At this time, Zhang Meng has successively established Datang Heavy Industry (hereinafter referred to as First Heavy Industry), Datang Second Heavy Industry, Datang Third Heavy Industry and Datang Fourth Heavy Industry, respectively responsible for the production of steel, cement and other means of production, mechanical processing and manufacturing, biomedical industrial production, petrochemical industry and other different fields. In the future, the fifth, sixth, seventh, or even more heavy industry groups will be built to be responsible for future new industrial fields such as electronic technology and aerospace technology.

Fleming learned that Zhang Meng was interested in large-scale industrial production of penicillin. Out of his fanaticism of biological bacteriology, he took the initiative to propose that he hoped to join Zhang Meng to establish the Biochemical and Medical Research Laboratory of Datang Second Heavy Industry. Zhang Meng was naturally welcomed this. Through Fleming's help, he poached more than 20 scientists in the fields of biology, chemistry and medicine from St. Mary's University and several other famous British universities.

After Fleming and his group arrived at the Biomedical Department of the Tang Empire National Laboratory, they immediately entered the intense penicillin crystal laboratory refining and development process. Due to sufficient funds and the maximum satisfaction of all required equipment, Fleming and others quickly completed the preparation of penicillin in the laboratory.

Within half a year, Fleming and others used petri dishes made of Bohetian melon and red clay corn to prepare large quantities of penicillin crystals in the laboratory, and completed relevant theoretical research on industrial production.

A year later, the pharmaceutical factory under Datang Second Heavy Industry realized the industrial crystal preparation and production of penicillin, marking the first time that humans have entered the era of antibiotic drug treatment.

Subsequently, Datang Second Heavy Industry began to register commercial patents worldwide and conduct clinical trials in well-known hospitals in various countries to obtain relevant medical data.
