"Russia is probably going to be out of luck." Li Xin said at the end of the report. The situation in Europe is changing too quickly, but the former alliances have made the relationship between countries more and more oriented towards pure interests. The alliance of Germany, Austria-Hungary, and Italy was initially formed in Europe. The intensifying conflict between Britain and Russia has put Europe in an increasingly dangerous situation.

"What can China gain from Russia's bad luck?" Ruan Xihao asked a very serious, but very tricky question.

Li Xin was very unhappy in his heart, and he replied bluntly: "This question is too big, and I can't give an answer immediately." ”

Ruan Xihao snorted, "Hmph, yes, if this problem can be calculated, then there will be no trouble in Romania." ”

As soon as these words came out, not only Li Xin was unhappy, but the expression of the Minister of Commerce also became extremely ugly. The Romanian issue is not a problem at all so far, not to mention that the Romanian issue itself is a thorn in the heart of the Ministry of Commerce. Not only in Romania, but now the Ministry of Commerce is experiencing big problems in overseas sales. And both the Ministry of Commerce and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs are against the war, and the war looks relieved. But that would mean a massive disruption of foreign business operations for a longer period of time. At that time, it is the people who are in the main battle who are happy, and it is the people of the Ministry of Commerce who are even more problematic.

Wei Ze saw that the situation was about to conflict again, and he calmly changed a question, "Foreign countries are fighting, let's take a look at the jokes first." "That's what Weeser really said, history has changed so dramatically. According to Li Xin, the roots of the First World War were planted more than 20 or even 30 years before the outbreak of the First World War. From the point of view of historical materialism, the First World War was a general eruption of many contradictions. And not what the war itself opened up that swept all of Europe and profoundly affected the world. If I had to say what was started, it was probably the prelude to the Second World War.

The governor spoke, and the others said no more. Everyone is smart, and Weser obviously doesn't want to see the argument continue at this time. Neither of them had a handle on each other, and a meaningless quarrel would only make Weese completely unhappy.

"There are many problems in China now, but before Shen Xin went to North America, he raised a problem of cheap grain hurting farmers." Weese preached.

This question is a little surprising to the high-ranking officials who have all had a life of not having enough to eat, at least the guys attending the meeting have no meat and no joy, and basic food is no longer in their consideration. The injury to the peasants is a problem that those old guys from poor backgrounds have never encountered.

"What are they doing in the government? Can't you sell your food? Nguyen Hee Ho fired again. These words aroused the unanimous eyes of a group of high-ranking officials from the government.

Ignoring Ruan Xihao, Wei Ze said: "Let the comrades from the Ministry of Agriculture introduce the problem." ”

was given such a long face by Wei Ze, and Ruan Xihao also restrained a little.

The Minister of Agriculture looked solemn, "Comrades, everyone is also very clear about our country's food supply, and we all thought that the lack of food in the country was the biggest problem. Now the situation has changed, and the problem has become that the grain cannot be sold. This problem is most evident in Liangguang and Fujian. Liangguang and Fujian have had almost a full 8 million people outflow in recent decades. Everyone knows that there is not much good land to grow in these places. Do you know how much land per capita there is? Five acres of good land per capita. ”

This figure made everyone stunned, five acres of good land per capita means that they can eat enough. Those old brothers from Liangguang think this is a great thing. Ruan Xihao was given a long face by Wei Ze, and he didn't dare to say anything for the time being. The one who spoke became Lin Asheng, secretary of the Central Political and Legal Committee.

"Then how did it become a grain cheapness and hurt the peasants? Is it impossible for the local population to eat food? Lin Asheng asked with a slight frown.

"No, Liangguang and Fujian have always been grain importing regions. The price of imported food is so low that the income from growing food locally is not high. Especially in recent years, Siam has imported a large number of Chinese agricultural tools, which has increased their yield per mu a lot. Siam makes money by exporting grain, and their Thai jasmine rice tastes good. In terms of grain parity, the two Guangxi cannot compete. Vietnam, on the other hand, also relies on grain exports, and their rice is ripe three times a year, and although the taste is not good, we can't compare with it in terms of price. And Liangguang is now eating more and more noodles. Wheat is growing more and more in the Huanghuai area, and the taste is also good. Although flour is consumed in the Yangtze River valley, some of the grain is still sold to Guangzhou, Guangzhou, and Fujian. The problem encountered by the local people is that no one goes there to collect grain, and the city directly transports the grain by sea or railway, which is convenient. Going to the countryside to collect grain is hard work. "The Minister of Agriculture made the ins and outs very clear.

Without waiting for anyone to comment, the Minister of Agriculture added: "It will not be long before a large amount of grain from North America will be transported to the country." Meat from North America, as well as alfalfa from northeastern Sudan, began to build a large number of feedlots around the cities. Do you know about the large breeding farms in the Liuhe area? And the breeding farms around Nanjing, right? There are thousands of acres and tens of thousands of acres of land, and they have begun to do so. It is to take the city as the target of meat export. ”

Lin Asheng was very self-contained, he didn't speak. This time it was Hu Chenghe's turn to be a little confused, and he asked, "Do you mean that meat will be cheaper than rice grain in the future?" ”

"If I compare the price of food before liberation, I can probably be sure. The price of meat today is probably cheaper than the price of meat back then. The Minister of Agriculture replied with some tactfulness.

"Joke!" Hu Chenghe refuted at the time, "When meat can't be cheaper than grain." If it was cheap, how could I not have eaten meat when I was a child. Being able to eat meat is also a matter after following the governor! ”

The Minister of Agriculture shook his head repeatedly, "It's not a comparison like that. There are many reasons why you can't eat meat. But on the issue of price, the proportion of the price of grain in the people's living expenses at that time, look at the proportion of meat in the people's consumption. There are also products that can be exchanged for food prices at that time, and then look at the present. The price of meat was actually lower than the price of food at that time. The problem now is that China's grain output has increased very rapidly, and the territory we have expanded over the years, except for the South China Sea, which is dominated by oilseeds, rubber, and forests, the other areas are basically areas that produce a large amount of grain. In the old areas, cities sprung up, and the peasants could feed themselves, so they needed to sell grain to the city people. But people in the city may not only choose the food produced around the city. A large amount of grain is not only from all over the world, but also from some wines across the Pacific Ocean. Our supply and demand are already out of balance. ”
