Chapter 1159: Great Panic! (Six more requests for support)
The news of the reduction in grain production in the entire northern region was reported to the grassroots government not long after the winter wheat harvest, and finally the news was summarized in the Ministry of Agriculture^ and Industry.
When the total data of the grain harvest in the whole north came out, all the people in the national agriculture ^ industry ^ department were stunned, whether it was an ordinary staff member or a big man like the head of the ministry ^ and the deputy director ^ of the department, they all looked at the data in amazement.
They really couldn't believe that the wheat yield of the entire North-Central^ country would be so horribly reduced by 40 percent, which was a statistic that they had never expected.
Although there have been problems in the agroecology of the north^ since last year, and they have started to investigate and study them in a timely manner, the grain output of the entire north last year was only less than five percent less than that of the previous year, which is normal compared with the occasional year of drought or flood, so they are not too worried about this matter.
However, after this year's data came out, everyone in the Ministry of Agriculture^Industry, including those brick families, was frightened by the data of 35 million tons of reduced production, and no one knew better than them the total grain production and demand of the country, as well as the total grain production and demand of the entire world, and they certainly understood what this data meant!
This news was immediately reported to the No. 1 chief^ chief, and the news immediately attracted the attention of the No. 1 chief^ chief, and an emergency meeting was immediately convened.
As a result of the meeting, three conclusions came out:
The first is to immediately send personnel to foreign countries to carry out activities, strive to sign contracts with large foreign grain merchants as soon as possible, and strive to ensure that the Chang family gets the grain contract before the news leaks;
Second, it is necessary to immediately dispatch all scientists from the biology and agriculture ^ departments, such as the Central People's Political Institute^the Central Committee^the Ministry of Agriculture^, the State Science and Technology Commission, the State Biological Laboratory, and the State Academy of Agriculture^, to conduct investigations and studies in an effort to solve the mystery of agricultural output reduction when sowing in the autumn of this year.
The third ^ point is to do a good job of secrecy and try to keep the people in the country from panicking; It's just that everyone knows this, and it's hard to keep this news for a long time. After all, the entire northern grain farmers were damaged.
However, even the most pessimistic view, the leaders of the entire high-level leadership^ and the brick family also believe that considering that the peasants only know that the peasants themselves have reduced their own output and do not know the situation in other provinces and regions, it is estimated that they will not know that the current reduction in output is common in the entire north.
The peasants are not very clear about the overall situation, and the specific data on the overall agricultural production reduction are all in the Ministry of Agriculture ^ Industry ^ of the state, and it is impossible to leak it.
The country's top leaders^ are optimistic. The plan made is also very good, but what they didn't expect was that someone would leak the news for the sake of profit
Recently, in the whole north, and even in the whole country, there has been a bad news, which has made the residents of the whole country, especially those in the north, breathe for breath one by one.
It is said that this year's grain production has been greatly reduced. And it's so severe that there may be a severe famine in the country.
At the beginning, the scope of this news was not very widespread, and there were not many people who believed it, after all, with the current agricultural technology. Without exaggerated natural disasters, there could be no major problems in agriculture.
It's just that when this news was dismissed as a rumor and denied by the political axe, the number of people who believed it gradually increased; Then. When people noticed that many grain merchants or other merchants in the market who had a deep relationship with the political axe were buying grain in large quantities, and selling little or no grain, the Chinese people, especially the northern residents, finally relied on their natural sensitivity. I vaguely guessed that something was wrong.
As a result, the residents who were very sensitive began to prepare to purchase a large amount of grain, but the political axe quickly noticed this situation and immediately came out and began to refute the rumors, saying that there was absolutely no major problem with grain production, and only a very small number of areas had reduced production due to disasters.
With the political axe's 'refutation of rumors', the situation of grain merchants on the market purchasing grain has also become gone, and in this case, the residents' hearts have been slightly relaxed, and they can barely believe in the propaganda of the political axe.
However, this trust was not retained for long, when some media^ accidentally exposed some grain merchants who secretly and secretly purchased grain, the people almost set off a frenzy of enough grain again, but fortunately, this media^ body immediately claimed that the reporter had made a mistake, and the grain merchants involved also came out to refute the rumors, and finally made the residents reluctantly stop the action of enough food again.
The incident seems to have subsided, but the trust in the political axe in the hearts of the inhabitants is almost gone, and the slightest hint of wind and grass will crumble the confidence of the inhabitants.
And just when the balance of confidence is swaying delicately, some news of food shortages is constantly flowing out inadvertently, gradually making the balance slide towards a dangerous situation.
In many forums or local post bars, when some young migrant workers talk about the large-scale reduction of grain production in their hometown on the Internet, some people quickly notice that something is wrong, and then when someone who is interested summarizes these casual words, they are surprised to find that people in almost every place in the entire Beizhong^ country say that the local grain production is very serious.
And when these news were widely circulated on the Internet, at first, some people still believed that they were rumors because of the political axe to refute the rumors again, but soon after, a corruption case suddenly circulated on the Internet, which completely detonated ^ the ignition of the whole thing.
The unit where the corruption case occurred is a state-owned enterprise with a Chinese prefix, and it is a grain storage enterprise, referred to as Zhong^Storage^ grain, and an employee anonymously exposed on the Internet that the director of their grain station had recently sold a large amount of grain stored in the station in violation of regulations, and also forged documents that had been sold last year.
Originally, this news was nothing, and there were many such things in this kind of Chinese prefix enterprises; But when this news was connected with the news of the recent continuous reduction in grain production, all the well-intentioned people on the Internet immediately realized the horror of this!
Finally, a super panic broke out because of the corruption of many corrupt people, and people who had long since disbelieved in political axes finally rushed out of their homes
The sky is almost just bright, the supermarket doors of the northern cities are already crowded with residents who come to buy grain, as soon as the supermarket opens, the black pressure of the head will soon crowd the supermarket, especially on the grain shelves, the rows of grain that is not much are almost immediately robbed!
"Excuse me, bring me two bags of rice, the kind that is packed in fifty catties."
"Hey, hey, hey, bring me ten bags of rice, yes, yes, it's a hundred pounds of a bag of hurry."
"Don't squeeze it, I haven't bought rice yet."
The food in the supermarket was sold out immediately, and some lucky people bought four or five bags or even a dozen bags of grain, and some people also bought one or two bags of grain, but many people did not even buy a bag of grain, which made these people even more panicked, and even bought out the entire supermarket food.
"Hurry up wife, there are still cans on that shelf, hurry up and buy them all,"
"Husband, husband, there are still some beef jerky to eat here, hurry up and buy them all!"
"Son, hurry up and get the milk powder over there, it's something that will save your life when the time comes!"
One shelf after another, everything that can be eaten is empty and scarce, but there are still many people who buy food that can even support their subordinates for a week, and many people go out of the supermarket and desperately rush to any open store, but these stores have long been swept away.
Suddenly, the families who did not have enough food in the whole city began to panic, and the few shops and supermarkets that still had food immediately began to double or even triple the price when they saw this.
While some people were still criticizing the stores for raising their prices, the food was immediately swept away, and many people did not buy it.
In this case, the atmosphere of panic spread irrepressibly and desperately throughout the city, and the atmosphere became even more tense, and the whole city fell into panic.
And what is even more frightening is that such cities are not one or two, nor three or four in the north, but the entire northern city, all of which are in such a panic, and even some cities in the south are also in such a panic.
The whole country was suddenly plunged into a storm!
