The silk weaving industry is a pillar industry in Jiangnan. Because of its high profits, the people in Jiangnan can live a life of basic food and clothing. It is also because of its high profits that large households and farmers in Jiangnan have abandoned rice and planted mulberry. After investigation, 40 of the 61 counties in the ten prefectures in the south of the Yangtze River have mulberry fields exceeding the rice fields, and almost every household is raising silkworms and reeling silk.
Not to mention the more than one million weavers who are completely separated from the land and make a living from the silk weaving industry.
It is not an exaggeration to say that if silkworms are safe, Jiangnan will be safe; if silkworms are in danger, Jiangnan will be in danger. The market has been bad in the past few years, and even the county magistrate has been anxious and begging Jiangnan Group to take advantage of it. This is the best proof.
Now that the Jiangnan Group has finally opened up overseas trade, there is no need to worry about the sales of silk. Silk societies, silk shops, silkworm farmers, and weavers in various counties are gearing up to expand production, hoping to make up for the losses in previous years. Make it up.
Who knew that silkworm disease broke out
??Looking at the silkworm babies that were fine yesterday, they all died overnight. The silkworm farmers cried silently, feeling like the sky was about to fall.
The big players in the Silk Society are also anxious. As mentioned before, silkworm farmers first borrow money from the silk society to raise silkworms, and after the silk is reeled, they repay the capital with interest in raw silk. In order to encourage silkworm farmers to expand production and to earn interest differentials, many large households have borrowed money from Jiangnan Bank and then lent it to silkworm farmers.
¡°If the losses were too great and they couldn¡¯t even repay the loan, their mortgaged fields and houses would be taken away by the bank. So the silk societies in the six affected counties appealed to Jiangnan Bank, hoping for some grace.
In fact, even if they don¡¯t ask for help, Jiangnan Bank itself can find problems. Zhao Gongzi summarized four hundred years of experience in the banking industry and concluded that the internal control system formulated for Jiangnan Bank is quite complete. In addition, Jiang Xueying personally serves as the president, so the implementation and supervision of the system are naturally effective.
Jiangnan Bank has a vice president responsible for risk control in each branch, as well as a credit department responsible for pre-loan investigation, mid-loan review, and post-loan inspection. In particular, the credit department will send specialists to visit loan customers regularly to check their loan usage and operating conditions.
According to the contract, the borrower must cooperate with the inspection and respond truthfully. This is the price they pay for obtaining low-interest loans. If they resist inspection or commit fraud, they will be blacklisted by Jiangnan Bank and will never be able to lend a penny again.
So soon, the credit officers of the six counties reported the risk, and then triggered the early warning mechanism of Jiangnan Bank, which was immediately reported to Jiang Xueying. After deliberation with Liu Zhengqi and others, Jiang Xueying came to the conclusion that there might be a large-scale outbreak of silkworm disease. While authorizing the following to extend it interest-free according to the actual situation, Jiang Xueying quickly reported it to Zhao Hao and asked him to make an idea.
Zhao Hao felt speechless as to whether Jiangnan Bank issued the warning first, rather than Jiangnan Textile or the development companies in the six counties. Go directly to the Jiangnan Technical Institute Oh no, during the class, I severely criticized the senior executives' decadent style of being careless and reporting good news but not bad news.
¡°However, he himself also has responsibilities. He invited half of the senior executives of the group and various companies to come to Jiangnan Technical Institute to take classes off-duty. The remaining half were barely able to maintain the daily operation of the company. How could they care about so much?
So Mr. Zhao started to criticize himself again and said that he would personally handle the matter.
Then he came to find Ma Yilong
However, Ma Yilong's answer failed to satisfy Mr. Zhao.
"Of these two silkworm diseases, one is Beauveria bassiana. It is recorded in the "Shen Nong Baicao Jing" and is a common silkworm disease. It can be prevented and treated with sulfur fumigation." Ma Yilong said solemnly: " However, there is no cure, and it often recurs. And there are not many silkworm farmers who can master this technology. If they are not careful, they will kill all the silkworm babies."
"What's even more troublesome is another disease. I've never seen it before, and I've searched all the classics and found nothing." Ma Yilong sighed and said, "This God is so funny, sending so many plagues to destroy the living creatures in the world. ." This is also the reason for his anger, which is worrying.
¡°This has nothing to do with God, it¡¯s caused by germs.¡± Zhao Hao shook his head and smiled.
"Germ, what is that?" Because he had too little contact with Mr. Zhao, Ma Yilong still knew nothing about the microscopic world.
"I can't explain it in one or two sentences." Zhao Hao smiled and said, "Why don't we go to Jiangnan Hospital tomorrow."
¡°That¡¯s a place to treat people. Can it also treat silkworms?¡± Ma Yilong asked in confusion.
"Actually, from a scientific point of view, the similarities between humans and silkworms are far greater than the differences." Zhao Hao said, "You will know after you go there."
"Okay" Ma Yilong had no choice but to agree. Every day was precious to him and he didn't want to waste it.
??~~
Early the next morning, Mr. Zhao took a boatMr. Meng He said that the cost of agricultural college was three times that of medical school, and he didn't even blink an eye.
On the first floor of the laboratory building, everyone changed into white cotton hooded laboratory coats, shoe covers, rubber gloves, masks and goggles.
This is the first time Ma Yilong wears these things. Naturally, he is not used to it. He feels like wearing a filial piety. But his attitude towards science was very humble, which was completely opposite to his attitude towards Zhao Hao, so he still dressed neatly in silence and followed him up to the second floor.
He found that their destination was separated by a wall panel and was not connected to the other laboratories. The wooden door sign read "Germ Laboratory" in five black Song fonts.
Ma Yilong suddenly remembered that Zhao Hao had mentioned that silkworm disease was caused by bacteria. Can the question of the heart be answered here? (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
