Chapter 161 Reserve Grain

After leaving the special forces, Yang Xia had never treated anyone, and after falling asleep on the plane to Xiangcheng Port, Yang Xia felt that his cultivation had reached a new level, but he still had never treated anyone. Because Yang Xia felt that his situation was special, at least different from ordinary doctors. Ordinary doctors only need to pay for general body and mental power, but Yang Xia's efforts seem to be more than that, otherwise he will not be so tired after the treatment is completed.

However, after seeing the pitiful appearance of Henderson's five-year-old daughter, Melinda, Yang Xia decided to give it a try.

Merlene's illness is our common myasthenia gravis, a five-year-old child who is unable to walk or stand up, which is a tragedy in any case.

And myasthenia gravis, the medical community in later generations does not seem to have a special approach, let alone decades ago. It can be said that people who suffer from this disease can only resign themselves to fate.

"Then, please try Mr. Yang." Mrs. Henderson was also ill and rushed to the hospital.

"However, there is one thing I have to say upfront, my treatment, even if it is not effective, will not aggravate Melinda's condition; But if it is cured, I hope Mrs. Henderson and Miss Melinda will keep it a secret for me. ”

"Why?"

"Because I'm not a doctor."

Needless to say, the treatment was effective, and after two hours of treatment, Merlin was able to stand up on the spot, but it was difficult to walk, so everyone agreed to treat Melinda the next day.

In fact, the next day at Henderson's house, Henderson came out of his separate bedroom. He apologized to Yang Xia and thanked Yang Xia for treating his daughter, and at the same time, he also expressed his loyalty to Yang Xia, saying in Mandarin, that is, "willing to provide for advice".

Yang Xia treated Melinda three times before and after, making Melinda basically a normal child, except for a little weakness in her body, nothing else was noticed.

Yang Xia's feeling was that Melinda's body was basically fine, but she didn't dare to guarantee that she would relapse. Therefore. When Yang Xia left New York, she said, "If Melinda's condition relapses, please call me." ”

One day after the Qingming Festival, Yang Xia returned to Xiangcheng Port.

Yang Xia, who returned to Xiangcheng Port, picked up the newspaper as usual. Understand the general trend of the world. This. Yang Xia found a piece of news that made him quite sad. In a certain province in China, a large-scale incident of hungry people leaving their homes broke out.

The report said that in some areas of the Central Plains Province and Huaihe Province. Except for the elderly who can't walk, even the children who can't walk have run away from home to beg for food.

Someone once said that most of the newspapers in Xiangcheng Port spread rumors, but Yang Xia knew that this matter was basically true. In his previous life, Yang Xia had personally received more than a dozen hungry people from Central Plains Province during the cram school stage in high school, they dragged their children and daughters, their faces were yellow and hungry, and they carried the proof of "going out to help themselves" with the brigade and the Commune Revolutionary Committee, which was very pitiful, Yang Xia remembered that the court also gave them two bowls of rice and a bag of corn.

This kind of thing is reported to be an ugly thing for Huaxia.

Is Huaxia really so poor that he can't think of a way to relieve it? Yang Xia felt that to solve this matter, he should be able to think of some solutions. didn't think about it for long, and it really made Yang Xia think of a way. It's just that this method can be sued by himself, and will the chief feel that he is too lenient?

The method that Yang Xia thought of was still the word "relief", but his eyes were focused on the word "grain reserves".

In order to prepare for war and famine, China had a large amount of grain reserves in peacetime, and even in later generations, some major towns and villages in the main grain-producing areas still had "national grain reserve depots." In the previous life, a prime minister inspected the grain reserve and was deceived by the people at the grain depot, which shows that the water in this line is also very deep.

We all know that grain is actually stored for a short time, and after more than three years, it can only be used for feed, not even for feed. In this sense, our grain reserve system, at least until the eighties, wasted a lot of grain almost every year.

And only Yang Xia knew that in the next 30 years, there was basically no food shortage in China. Perhaps, a certain province in the north has reduced production this year, but a certain province in the south may increase its income, and vice versa, because China is thousands of kilometers from south to north and from west to east, and the climatic conditions are different, and it is impossible for there to be a severe natural disaster at the same time, and in the next 30 years, there will be no large-scale wars related to China.

In other words, strategic grain reserves can be moved. As a matter of fact, as long as a system is formed, such as a system in which grain reserves can only be stored for two years at most and can be processed in the third year, Huaxia will be able to produce more than 50 billion catties of grain out of thin air every year.

In fact, a system of disposal was formed in later generations, such as selling old grain to feed companies, but because the operation was not open and transparent enough, it led to the sale of new grain as well, and finally collectively deceived the prime minister of the republic.

However, the background of dealing with these old grains in later generations was not aimed at the old grains themselves, but because of the bumper harvest of grain, the national grain depot could no longer hold them, so they began to deal with the old grains, and new problems arose in this treatment.

At this time, the righteousness in Yang Xia's bones still has the upper hand, and if he lives and dies for the benefit of the country, he will not avoid it because of misfortune and fortune. Therefore, Yang Xia still picked up the pen and wrote a feudal letter to the "relevant departments".

Yang Xia directly handed over this letter to the Xiangcheng Port Huaxia News Agency, asking them to forward it to the national agricultural department or the agricultural policy research department.

In the letter, Yang Xia did not talk about the hungry people, but only talked about the issues of "reserve grain", "resale grain", and "relief grain".

Grain resale refers to the grain system in which the state sells the public grain that has already been collected to the peasants. This mainly refers to the famine years of the first month, February, and March, when the peasants had no grain to satisfy their hunger, and the state took out part of the grain and sold it to the peasants at the price of grain purchased by urban residents.

At that time, against the background of patriotism as the mainstream ideology, it was considered not very honorable for the peasants to eat grain for sale.

Relief grain is a grain system that is directly distributed to the people in need without a penny. But the proportion of relief food is very small.

In this era, officials did not have the concept of putting people first, but most of them took the means of covering the lid on the peasants who had no food to eat, because they had no food under their rule, and their faces were gloomy. It is also because of this practice of a few officials that until the turn of the millennium in China, there was still the phenomenon of people dying of starvation in some places, which cannot but be said to be the sorrow of China.

Yang Xiajian said that the state should form a system to coordinate the relationship between grain reserves, resale grain, and relief grain; Reserve grain, take the current year's grain as new grain, and then divide it into one-year grain, two-year grain, three-year grain, etc.; The three-year grain should be treated as the grain to be processed, and the two-year-old grain should be treated as the partially processed grain, because after three years, the grain is basically rotten and has no nutrients.

The method of treatment is that the two-year grain can be used as relief food, and the state can appropriately increase the scope of relief; One year's grain can be used as a supply and resale grain for urban residents; Three-year grain can be used as feed or raw material for the production of feed to develop the animal husbandry industry.

Yang Xia said in Jianyi that grain reserves are a national strategic need, but grain reserves can also be turned into treasures; The formation of a mechanism for the import and export of national grain reserves is not only conducive to the benign development of national reserves, but also conducive to the promotion of social and people's livelihood and related industries.

Of course, Yang Xia can only talk about things, and Yang Xia will not say anything about the root cause of the hungry people even if he knows. In Yang Xia's view, Huaxia has always had some weaknesses, such as the strength of governance and the weakness of governance, such as the strength of development and the weakness of people's livelihood. However, even under this premise, some things can be done better; Some problems can be avoided.

Although Yang Xia only handed over the construction to the Xiangcheng Port Huaxia News Agency, the relevant personnel all knew that Yang Xia was a figure who had access to the sky, so after receiving Yang Xia's Jiancheng Port Branch, the Xiangcheng Port Branch of the Huaxia News Agency immediately sent it to Shangjing in the form of "internal reference" for the leading comrades to refer to. Moreover, it only took two days to reach the chief's desk.

"This kid finally knows how to use the channels of the state." After reading the title of "Jian Yiì on the Policy Related to National Grain Reserves" and Yang Xia's name, the chief first praised it.

However, looking at it, the chief saw the severity of the problem that Yang Xia said, and also saw the focus of Yang Xia's attention. Immediately, the chief of the government summoned the responsible persons of the government and personnel from the departments to hold a special meeting to study them.

Since the chief also estimates that the world war will not break out, and peace and development will be the mainstream of the world, then the grain reserve policy can indeed formulate relevant entry and exit mechanisms, and the establishment of this mechanism can bring at least 30 billion catties of grain huge benefits.

And the country has these 30 billion catties of grain, whether it is relief and resale, or as feed, it can greatly alleviate the current situation of national food urgency.

However, the participants were a little unsure about how to make feed, and it was also a big problem for who to sell the produced feed. Because, in this era, whether it is an agricultural area or a pastoral area, it is a collective operation, and in the collective management, there is no such expense as the purchase of feed.

Cattle and sheep in pastoral areas mainly eat grass, supplemented by soybean feed; Pigs in Han District are mainly green fodder and dregs, supplemented by corn and barley, and in these two cases, feed is basically not used. Of course, the army pigs, as well as the national nutrition pig farms, can use feed, but how much can be used in that amount, and the increased cost seems to be too great.

When the chiefs fed back this problem to Yang Xia, Yang Xia had to smile bitterly twice, and then told the chiefs that they should first relieve the peasants who had no food and had a famine, and as for the production of feed, we should start to implement it after the rural package production was fully rolled out to households.

This rigid system has persisted for decades, and Yang Xia really has no special way except for a wry smile. (To be continued......)
