Fulfillment or emptiness?" Ren Xiaosu frowned and said: "The first thing we are facing now is the problem of food shortage, so we don't have time to think about these problems. ”

Wang Yuexi said: "So I stopped Miss Zhou, not to say that these potatoes should be thrown away, but I hope that the young marshal will order them to be sold at a fair price to stabilize the market, and not give them to the residents of the barrier for free." Not all of them are so ambitious, and when they find that they can live without any labor, many people will be completely decadent. ”

Ren Xiaosu thought for a while and said: "If it were me, if I didn't have to worry about food and clothing every day, then I could do something more meaningful." ”

"Young marshal, you are you, there are always some people in this society who are easy to be decadent," Wang Yuexi said seriously: "Why are there able-bodied beggars in this barrier? In this era of suffering, why are there still some young people who are idle at home waiting for their parents to work to support them?" There aren't many people who are really motivated and have self-control, some people play cards and mahjong all night, and the reason why they get up and leave the table is that they still need to survive, they still need to work, and if they can continue to sit at the table without doing anything, then they are really useless. It's good to play all the time, but maybe it's good to play for a month or two, but what about a year or two?"

Wang Yuexi continued: "Maybe I can jokingly say that as long as I don't let me work, I can be happy forever, but is this really the case? Young marshal, I just hope that these potatoes can be sold at a fair price and stabilize the price, not that Miss Zhou's efforts are worthless. Moreover, setting a threshold for relief in times of crisis is itself appropriate. ”

Ren Xiaosu nodded: "Well, then do as you say." ”

Let's not discuss whether Wang Yuexi's thinking is correct, and don't discuss long-term and short-term considerations, the other party can stop Zhou Yingxue, a black market tyrant and a celebrity around the young marshal, for his own ideas, and he is a principled and courageous person.

And the other party is not extreme, he just asks to sell potatoes at a low price, and Ren Xiaosu has no reason to refuse.

He also agreed with Wang Yuexi's statement about setting a threshold for relief, and he had read a book before that a long time ago, someone would mix some sand with rice for relief to the victims, and this was a deliberate attempt to disgust the victims? No, is it not? The really hungry and panicked victims don't care if there is sand in it, but some people who are not too hungry don't take advantage of it when they see it.

Recently, Ren Xiaosu also learned a story about Wang Yuexi, which is quite interesting.

Nowadays, there are many immigrants at Barrier 144, including some refugees and poor people from the Central Plains, resulting in many people who have no money to buy or rent houses, and end up sleeping on the streets.

Then the policy research office led by Wang Yuexi formulated a relief project, which was to build a number of low-cost houses to rent to the refugees.

However, when Wang Yuexi implemented this project, he specifically requested that the rented house should not be equipped with an independent toilet, but must be a public toilet for more than a dozen households, and it must also be squatting.

At the beginning, many people in the barrier scolded Wang Yuexi, saying that Wang Yuexi was really not a thing, and this was not called personnel.

Later, everyone found out that those who scolded Wang Yuexi wanted to take advantage of it, and they did not necessarily need a house, but they wanted to occupy this rented house with financial subsidies with barriers.

At this time, the benefits of setting up public toilets and not setting up independent toilets come in, because it is good for people who have already slept on the streets to have a place to live, so why should the toilets be public or independent?

As far as matters are concerned, Wang Yuexi does have some of his own means in terms of governance.

At this time, Wang Yuexi continued to Ren Xiaosu: "By the way, I have one more thing to ask the young marshal, I hope that Miss Zhou will plant potatoes and winter melons here, not too much, and it must be kept secret." ”

"Why?" Ren Xiaosu asked with a smile.

"Miss Zhou's method is our hole card," Wang Yuexi explained: "These potatoes can make the northwest starve people from dying, but if we plant a large area and make everyone think that the northwest will not need to farm in the future, I am afraid it will be a disaster." In the decades that Miss Zhou has been here, there may not be any accidents, but what if Miss Zhou is gone one day?"

Zhou Yingxue muttered in a low voice: "How can this still curse people, saying that who will be gone one day." ”

She was extremely honest in front of Ren Xiaosu, and she didn't even dare to refute Wang Yuexi's words very loudly, but Zhou Yingxue was the owner of the Northwest Black Market after all, even if Ren Xiaosu was in charge, Wang Yuexi knew very well how strong the other party was.

But Wang Yuexi did not flinch, but continued to ask: "Young marshal, to put it mildly, if you really rely on Miss Zhou to provide food, then what if she goes to the Wang clan one day? I just assume this, but who can guarantee that in the future? At that time, the lives of everyone in the northwest will be tied to Miss Zhou's alone, is this what you want to see young marshal?"

Ren Xiaosu smiled: "Are you worried that Zhou Yingxue will betray the northwest?"

Zhou Yingxue said on the side: "How could I betray my master?!"

"Young Marshal, you should understand what I mean," Wang Yuexi continued to insist: "When you told Wang Fugui that Yunsu couldn't interfere in the economic lifeline of the Northwest before, you were also worried that if you were not there one day, Yunsu would become a new consortium, wouldn't you? Therefore, since we are now going to revitalize the Northwest, we must find the most suitable mode of survival and system for it, rather than looking for a savior. ”

In fact, there is a high probability that Zhou Yingxue will not betray Ren Xiaosu, but everyone has birth, old age, sickness and death, if Zhou Yingxue dies one day, at least the potato shooter will definitely not be close to anyone.

The potato shooter has become a humble crop in the hands of Ren Xiaosu and Zhou Yingxue, but if outsiders approach it privately, it will also regain its dignity......

At that time, there will probably not be many people in this world who can get potatoes from a large potato shooter's farmland.

Ren Xiaosu smiled and said: "It makes sense, just do what you say, Zhou Yingxue, don't embarrass him, you must follow the regulations of the barrier, and hand over the potatoes transported in to the barrier." ”

At this moment, Wang Yuexi breathed a sigh of relief, to be honest, when he assumed that Zhou Yingxue would betray the northwest just now, he was really worried that Ren Xiaosu and Zhou Yingxue would be furious.

But he didn't think his advice was wrong, and neither was what he said.

"Thank you for understanding my distress," Wang Yuexi said.

Ren Xiaosu patted him on the shoulder: "Thank you, I should thank you, there is a person like Director Wang in the northwest, so he should be prosperous." ”
