The base is too big, and it is in the most critical period of development, and any accident may lead to the undone efforts of the garrison regiment in front!

Therefore, several people in the regiment headquarters were not idle, patrolling back and forth in the base area with radio and guards, supervising!

No matter where an accident occurs, we ensure that we arrive at the scene as soon as possible, deal with it as soon as possible, and minimize the adverse impact and loss caused by the accident!

Several people meet once every ten days to report on the progress of their respective responsibilities, discuss the problems found during the inspection, and then solve the problems!

Today is the time for the report and discussion once every ten days, and as soon as the morning dawns, the conference room is surrounded by dozens of guards, and no one can approach, and the security is tight!

In the conference room, Li Hao, Wang Hong, Hong Linfeng, Luo Yun, and Peng Chang, the person in charge of the base, five people gathered around the table with different expressions!

Some people have a serious face, some people have a solemn face, and some people have a worried face, which means that the problems they bring back are both good and bad!

"Commander, I'll say it first!" Political Commissar Wang Hong was the first to speak!

"It's still the same old problem, and this time we are facing a more serious situation than before: the consumption rate of food in the base area is faster than I imagined, and much faster, completely beyond our ability to bear!"

"Especially under our organization, after the first batch of ordinary people who stood up to reclaim wasteland exchanged food from us, the common people in the entire base area went crazy, whether they were young or strong, old and weak, women and children, all went into battle and worked hard to reclaim the wasteland!"

"It's only been less than ten days, and there are nearly 40,000 acres of fertile land in the base area, which is a good thing, but when I think of the nearly two million catties of grain we have paid for this, I can't be happy, and I even don't want the people to continue to reclaim the land!"

"According to statistics, the base area can be reclaimed wasteland, mountainous land, at least 500,000 acres!"

"All of them are distributed to the people according to the standard of 50 catties of grain per acre of land, and we need to prepare at least 25 million catties of grain, but our current grain storage is not even a fraction!" ”

"Also, when we calculated how much food was lacking in the base area, we only calculated forty percent of the total population in the base area, 100,000 people!"

"If all the two million catties of food we have spent go to them, each person can share at least twenty catties, save a little, and ensure that no one starves to death, and it will definitely be no problem to eat for a month and a half!"

"But the problem now is: the two million catties of grain are not all in their hands!"

"More than 200,000 people in the three counties are all reclaiming, and we can't tell who is short of food and who is not, so we can only give both!"

"So less than half of the two million catties of grain fell into the hands of those ordinary people who have run out of food!"

"And even if we know that some villagers still have food at home, since they have reclaimed the land according to our regulations, then we have no reason not to give it to them, otherwise the hearts and trust we have just won will be hit!"

"So no matter who it is, as long as the wasteland is reclaimed into fertile land, we will give food!"

"There are still nearly 20 days left before the autumn harvest. According to the current rate of reclamation, the villagers can still reclaim at least 100,000 mu of land, which means that we have to prepare at least 5 million catties of grain. ”

"After the spring ploughing is over, if we continue to reclaim the remaining wasteland and mountainous areas, we will need more food!"

"Plus the food needed to repair canals, dams, and wells, 20 million catties may not be enough!"

Li Hao's brows were immediately twisted into a big Sichuan character!

This question was something he hadn't thought of!

The more than 3 million catties of grain on hand, if all the food is distributed to the people in need, it will definitely be no problem to last for more than two months!

But this is not the case, the people who really need food only get less than half of it, or even less!

This means that the food shortage in the base area is at least twice as much as previously calculated!

The amount of food in hand can be at least doubled!

More than 20 million catties of grain, too much.

Even if the battle that had been formed in his heart started smoothly and finally achieved complete success, Li Hao did not have the confidence that he could get so much food, and even five million catties could not be guaranteed!

Moreover, the remaining grain in the base area has not been able to hold out for more than a month later, and it has not even been able to hold on to the autumn harvest!

Since the food that can be solved externally is limited, and there is no time to do so, there is only one way left, intercept the flow, reduce food consumption, and use the limited food as much as possible where it should be used!

"Can we reduce the standard of cash-for-work, even if the grain given by reclaiming a scene of wasteland is reduced by ten catties, it can save a lot!"

"I think so!" Peng Chang suddenly spoke!

Li Hao's eyes lit up, as if he had found a savior, and immediately asked: "Comrade Peng Chang is a local cadre, and he must know the situation of the villagers better than us!"

"Comrade Pengchang, come on, how much grain should we give when the villagers reclaim an acre of land!"

Peng Chang didn't hesitate, and opened his mouth to calculate an account for Li Hao!

"The head of the regiment, the political commissar, according to the policy of the base area, after the land is reclaimed, it will be distributed to the villagers for free, even if not a pound of food is given, the people will support us in reclaiming wasteland! After all, if you have one more acre of land at home, you can collect more than 100 catties of grain in the autumn harvest! ”

"Because the people in the base area ran out of food, in order to ensure that the villagers did not starve to death, the regiment headquarters decided to give everyone food in disguise through cash-for-work!"

"So I think that as long as the standards set by the regiment headquarters can ensure that everyone is not hungry, the villagers will be very satisfied and rush to open up the wasteland, especially if the family has run out of food!"

"The most typical family in the base area is a family of five or six people, and if the whole family is on it, one acre of land can be cultivated in four days!"

"Because there are old and young in the family, the rations that everyone needs are not the same, in the case of guaranteeing that the whole family has the physical strength to reclaim the famine, twenty catties of food is enough for a family of five for four days, if you save a little, fifteen catties may be enough, and the extra food can be saved!"

"So I think twenty catties of grain per acre of land is enough!"

"Save the grain, and when the spring ploughing is over, eat it when everyone builds the canal and the dam!"

"After all, at that time, the villagers were really in short supply, and food was more precious to them!"

The amount of grain was cut by more than half at once, and this result completely exceeded Li Hao's expectations!

He was scared!

But it didn't take long to react!

Seeing Peng Chao's confident face, it didn't seem like he was joking, so he immediately made a decision: "Comrade Peng Chang is closer to the villagers than us and understands the villagers, so he has more say than us!"

"Since he said that twenty catties of grain per acre of land is enough, then we will do this!"

"If we give less food, we can only guarantee rations, and there will definitely be many villagers who will not go to the land because there is no shortage of food at home, so that more food will be distributed to the villagers who really need it!"

Wang Hong didn't speak, frowning and calculating how long the remaining grain at hand could last under the new method.

Disappointingly, no matter how you save, there is still a gap of two million catties before the autumn harvest in the base!

And he only has 1.3 million catties left in his hands, and he has to ensure the needs of the troops.!

This means that the base area will go bankrupt if it can't even survive the autumn harvest!

"There isn't enough food!" Wang Hong replied with a solemn face!

"Minus the troops, there is still a million catties of gap before the autumn harvest, and a gap of six million catties after the autumn harvest!"
