Chapter 602 The trip to Xi'an (2)

Although Zhou Ping is only responsible for the medical and health affairs in Beijing, Zhou Ping is now a deputy ministerial-level cadre. After being promoted to the rank of military, she is now entitled to the rank of major general. In Beijing, she has the highest administrative level. Therefore, she also has her own independent housing in Beijing and has a local female orderly to take care of her life.

When Zhou Weiying was working in Beijing, she lived in collective dormitories with other medical staff. Only when Qin Zheng came to Beijing did she not have to arrange a separate residence, but lived with Zhou Ping.

Although the two hadn't met for several months and were very concerned about each other, they were old couples after all, and their relationship had become plain and unpretentious, not as enthusiastic as young people. Therefore, Zhou Ping knew that Qin Zheng was here, so she just asked the kitchen to cook a few dishes that Qin Zheng liked and had dinner in her residence. The two of them were eating and talking about their own affairs during this period, and of course they were mainly talking about their work. After all, there was nothing else to say about them.

In fact, Zhou Ping knows most of Qin Zheng's affairs. After all, Qin Zheng does big things and has many channels to understand. Although Zhou Ping is in Beijing, she still manages a considerable part of the affairs of the Ministry of Health, mainly responsible for the medicine. Now 80% of the medicines brought by Time Travel have been used, and the rest are less commonly used medicines. However, most of the medical equipment is still there, and many disposable medical equipment in the old time and space, such as syringe needles, have to be recycled, disinfected and reused. In previous battles, a large amount of medicine was seized, and a large number of Chinese and Western medicines were purchased. Therefore, the health of Time Travel Group can basically meet the requirements.

Of course, the Time Travel Group will eventually have to solve the medical problems themselves. However, since the chemical industry of the Time Travel Group has not yet been established, it is still impossible to manufacture Western medicine, so it can only be dominated by traditional Chinese medicine. Now the Time Travel Group has acquired three pharmacies in Tianjin and opened two pharmacies for planting medicinal materials. Moreover, in the old time and space, many technology for making Chinese patent medicines can be realized in this era, and has begun to make Chinese patent medicines, and at the same time, some Western medicines from this era can be purchased, which can almost meet the needs.

Qin Zheng asked, "I heard that the hospital has hosted a group of single women and children. Will this be possible?"

Zhou Ping nodded and said, "Yes, why did you suddenly ask about this?"

Only then did Qin Zheng tell Zhou Ping about the discussion of the Executive Committee and the solution to the marriage problem of the time traveler.

After listening to Qin Zheng’s speech, Zhou Ping thought about it and nodded, "This method is feasible. So many people have not been married yet. It is indeed not a problem. Among the women we are sheltering, there are really many girls from wealthy families, not to mention maids, young ladies, and young ladies. They were all destroyed by the Eight-Nation Alliance and their families were separated. If they were not sheltered by us, they would either die of cold and starvation or wandering in the dust. Therefore, they are very grateful to us. If they can form a family with our time travelers, they will find their own home here, of course, it would be great. And after this hardship, I believe they will cherish a stable and stable life."

Qin Zheng said: "That's right, but now it's not enough to add the women you're in. We have more than 5,000 people waiting to get married. Can you find more?"

Zhou Ping said: "If you want to find it, you can definitely find some, but not too many. At most, you can find another 2,300 people. If you have more, you will probably be gone."

Qin Zheng shook his head and said, "That's not enough, far from enough."

Zhou Ping smiled and said, "You care so much about other people's marriages. You don't want your daughter. Her relationship with Xiao Luo has been settled. It's time to find a suitable time to let them get married. Don't tell me what they are still young. What era is now? You often say that you will feel responsible after marriage, and getting married is also conducive to working with peace of mind."

Qin Zheng couldn't help feeling a little ashamed when he heard this. He really ignored his daughter's marriage. Firstly, the relationship between his daughter and Luo Yue has always been very stable. Secondly, according to the standards of old time and space, the two are indeed not old, and it is not too late to wait for another two or three years. However, in this era, both of them can be considered older men and women. Moreover, since their relationship has developed to this point, getting married earlier is a matter of their parents.

So Qin Zheng thought about it and said, "This is how there will be too many things this year, but by next year, we should be able to stabilize and we will get the wedding done for them at that time."

Zhou Ping also nodded. It was September now, and Qin Zheng was going to Xi'an again. Next, there would be a new government agency and a major relocation. Therefore, there would definitely be no time this year. After all these things are done, the Time Travel Group will enter a period of stable development and only then will have time to hold a wedding. He said: "Then it is decided. In fact, to solve the marriage of Time Travelers, I have a suggestion that at least more than 1,000 candidates can be obtained, and they are all young girls of certain qualities. However, it may cause us a certain political turmoil and have a certain impact on our reputation. We need to carefully evaluate the pros and cons. How about it? Do you want to know?"

Qin Zheng couldn't help but be stunned. Seeing his wife's look, he didn't seem to be joking with him, and said, "What's going on, tell me quickly."

Zhou Ping smiled, reached out to point her finger, and said, "It's in the palace."

"In the palace?" Qin Zheng was stunned for a while before he realized it and said, "You mean the palace maid in the palace?"

Zhou Ping smiled and nodded and said, "Yes, there are more than 1,000 palace maids living in the palace. We have entered the palace twice to check the palace maids. Some people have talked to the palace maids, so they also know a little about their lives. Most palace maids live very unsatisfactory in the palace. After all, there are very few people who can be favored in the palace. Even if they are favored, they are even more worried and trembling. First, they are favored, and they will be more likely to make mistakes when serving their masters. Second, it is the jealousy of other palace maids, so most palace maids hope to leave the palace to get married and live a stable life. We also think that staying in the palace is simply tortured, and most of the palace maids are young girls.

Most of them are in their 10s and 20s. Even if they are older, they are in their 30s, and they are not bad. They have received strict rules, etiquette and work training in the palace. Their quality is much better than ordinary ladies. Although only a few people read and read, they are still young and there is still time to study. Since we are going to solve our marriage problems, these palace maids are very suitable candidates. I think they are still attractive to most time travelers. If you can't marry a princess, it's better than nothing. But I don't know how much impact these palace maids will have on us in politics. You still have to conduct a comprehensive assessment."

After listening to Zhou Ping's words, Qin Zheng also fell into deep thought. Zhou Ping's suggestion is indeed a good way to solve the marriage problem of time travelers, because the number of palace maids is large. According to statistics from the People's Army when the People's Army first captured Beijing, there are now about 1,200 palace maids in the palace, which is a considerable number. If the unmarried women within the time travel group and the maids of the wealthy families who had planned to travel group before, then the suitable marriage is about 2,500. Although this number cannot completely solve the marriage of time travel group, it can indeed greatly alleviate the marriage dilemma of the time travel group.

In the old time and space, Qin Zheng read a book called [Memoirs of Palace Maids] (also known as Palace Maids Talk about the Past Records), which introduces the life content of palace maids in the late Qing Dynasty. Therefore, he still has a certain understanding of the survival of palace maids. It can be said that palace maids' life in the palace is not beautiful. Not only should they be cautious everywhere, but they are more trembling than Lin Daiyu's first entry into Rongguo Mansion, walking on thin ice, and they also have to endure all kinds of tangible, invisible, reasonable, and unreasonable rules and restrictions in the palace.

Not to mention the various things that are serving the empress dowager, emperor, concubine, and princess, in daily life, there are many rules that ordinary people cannot bear. The first is to sleep. Palace maids are not allowed to be on their backs and curl their legs when they sleep. The second is to eat. Palace maids are not allowed to have evil smells, and they are not allowed to have dirty smells. Things like fish, shrimp, leeks, onions, and garlic cannot be put into their mouths. And they are strictly controlled. They are only allowed to eat 80% full per meal. The more favored the palace maids, the more they dare not eat enough; the third is to have a quiver (fart). There is no need to say that the emptiness is not good, and even a burp cannot be done well. Moreover, if you are not good at doing things well, you will be beaten. The palace maids who have just entered the palace are not familiar with the rules in the palace, and being beaten becomes commonplace. Therefore, taking these palace maids away is actually saving them from the sea of ​​suffering.

Of course, after staying in the palace for a long time, it will inevitably stick to some bad habits in the palace, such as palace fighting. However, Qin Zheng doesn't think that this is too much, because palace fighting usually happens among concubines, and palace maids cannot interfere. In addition, Guangxu is a puppet emperor and cannot fight anything. The main scheming of the palace maids is to please Cixi, which is not a bad thing for the Time Travel Group. After all, the Time Travel Group is not the Qing court, and it will also carry out ideological education and transformation of the Palace Maids. Therefore, the real difficulty is what Zhou Ping said, which may have a certain impact on the reputation of the Time Travel Group, and it does need to be carefully evaluated.
