Chapter 219 Chicken Plague
The three people who had traveled all the way had a good night's sleep. At around 9:30 the next morning, they arrived at the Yang County Agricultural Bureau.
The first target that Gu Zhan was looking for was the director of the Animal Husbandry Center under the Yang County Agricultural Bureau.
The door of the director's office of the Animal Husbandry Center was wide open, revealing the furnishings inside. There was nothing else except a simple desk and chair, and some paper documents on the desk.
Gu Zhan knocked on the door. The person inside saw Gu Zhan's unfamiliar face and frowned and asked, "Who are you looking for?"
Gu Zhan walked in and introduced himself, "We are from Jing City and are researchers at the Agricultural University. We came here to learn about the situation in Yang County. Do you think you can spare some time?"
As soon as Gu Zhan said this, the man in the office frowned even more, showing obvious impatience on his face, but he seemed to be trying hard to suppress it. He just waved his hand and said, "You guys go, I don't have time right now."
Gu Zhan paused and didn't say anything else.
Huang Yue and Wen Chunming stood outside the door, hearing the conversation clearly. After Gu Zhan came out of the office, Huang Yue whispered jokingly, "What? Did you suffer a Waterloo?"
Gu Zhan smiled bitterly: "Please don't make fun of me."
Since his rebirth, Gu Zhan had been doing things almost smoothly. To be honest, this was the first time he had been rejected so clearly, which made him feel a little frustrated and lost.
With a long sigh, the feeling in Gu Zhan's heart finally dissipated.
Gu Zhan said to Huang Yue and Wen Chunming, "Let's go find the director directly."
In fact, Gu Zhan thought it would be best to find the director of the Animal Husbandry Center and then go to see the director, so that it would not seem too abrupt, but now he can only go to see the director first to see the situation.
Huang Yue intended to test Gu Zhan, and did not say anything to explicitly stop or agree. He just followed Gu Zhan with Wen Chunming.
Yang County is also quite remote in Yuncheng. The Agricultural Bureau is similar to Xia County, both of which are a row of bungalows.
Gu Zhan and his group found the director's office according to the sign on the door.
Fortunately, there was someone in the office.
Just as Gu Zhan was about to knock on the door, the person in the office looked up and asked, "Young man, who are you looking for?"
"Hello, I'm from Jing City. I'm a researcher at the Agricultural University. I'd like to come to Yang County to learn more about the situation."
Upon hearing that they were agricultural researchers, Bai Junliang, director of the Yang County Agricultural Bureau, became interested. He hurriedly got up and walked to the door. When he saw the two people behind Gu Zhan, his suspicions disappeared a little.
Gu Zhan could more or less sense the other party's distrust, and took out the letter of introduction he had been using since he was in Beijing and gave it to Bai Junliang: "This is our letter of introduction, please take a look."
Bai Junliang took it and took a look at it, then returned the letter of introduction to Gu Zhan. He smiled and said to the three people, "Please come in, please come in." He went out and called the office staff to come over and add another chair.
After the three of them sat down, Bai Junliang asked with a smile, "What do you three comrades want to know?"
Huang Yue glanced at Gu Zhan and motioned for him to speak.
Gu Zhan understood Huang Yue's meaning and said with a smile, "We want to know where in Yang County people raise the most chickens? And what kinds of chickens are there here?"
Upon hearing this, Bai Junliang burst into laughter. "You three comrades really stumped me. This... everyone is concerned about grain production, but not the characteristics of chickens. Wait a moment, I'll call someone who knows to ask you."
Then he went out and shouted to the next office, "Xiao Zhang, go get Comrade Jianjun."
The comrade Jianjun that Bai Junliang mentioned is Fan Jianjun, the director of the Animal Husbandry Center who had just rejected Gu Zhan. He is now worried about something reported by his subordinates.
Early this morning, the directors of two communes in the south of Yang County came hurriedly and said that the chickens in many production teams under their commune were infected with fowl plague. Now they wanted to see what the county could do.
Chicken plague has always been a headache for people. There is basically no way to contain it and we can only let it take its course and wait for it to pass.
But nowadays, ordinary people rely on chickens to lay eggs or eat meat all year round. If chicken plague spreads widely, the losses to ordinary people will be huge.
Fan Jianjun paced back and forth with a frown on his face, unable to think of any useful solution.
When he was about to go out and report the matter to the director, he heard Xiao Zhang from the unit calling him and saying that it was the director who called him.
Fan Jianjun hurriedly locked the door and went out to see Director Bai Junliang with Xiao Zhang.
"Xiao Zhang, what does the director want to see me about?"
Xiao Zhang thought for a moment and said, "Three researchers from the animal husbandry industry in Beijing came to the director's office just now. They're in the director's office right now. Maybe it's because of this matter."
Xiao Zhang was next door and heard the general idea, but he didn't know the specific situation.
Fan Jianjun paused. A livestock researcher from Beijing? He seemed to have knocked on his office door just a few minutes ago, but he had rejected them.
This... Fan Jianjun suppressed his inner irritation and strode into Director Bai Junliang's office.
"Jianjun, you're here? This is an expert from the Agricultural University. He's here to ask what chicken breeds are available in Yang County and where chickens are most common. Please introduce them to the three experts."
Fan Jianjun was already anxious, and when he heard Bai Junliang say that they wanted to know about the chickens, a bold idea suddenly popped up in his mind.
Since they are experts from Beijing and have come specifically to inquire about the chicken farming situation in Yang County, they may also know the treatment for fowl plague. In this case, the chickens in the people's homes can be saved.
Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Fan Jianjun's face. He smiled apologetically at Gu Zhan and said, "Comrades, I was rude just now. I'm sorry.
The chickens in Yang County are famous in several surrounding counties. There are two types of chickens we can call famous: the Yang County Yellow Chicken and the Yang County Bantam Chicken. There are also some other local chickens scattered around. If we talk about the variety of chickens in Yuncheng, Yang County is second, and no other place dares to be first.
Fan Jianjun said proudly.
After listening to Fan Jianjun's introduction, Gu Zhan had a rough idea in his mind. He briefly asked about the characteristics of several well-known native chickens, and then began to take notes in his notebook.
Just as Gu Zhan was concentrating on writing down his notes, Fan Jianjun cautiously asked, "Several great experts, you are all intellectuals. I would like to ask, do you have any method to cure chicken plague?"
Gu Zhan's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly looked up and asked, "Chicken plague?"
Fan Jianjun said with a bitter face, "Yes, it's the chicken plague. A few commune workers from the south just came over and said that many of the chickens in their homes were infected with the plague. I was just worrying about this and that's why I offended you."
These words were said not only to Bai Junliang but also to Gu Zhan and his group.
When Bai Junliang heard this, he realized that this was related to the people's meat and eggs for a whole year and could not be taken lightly. He looked at Gu Zhan and the others with hope.
