"Jiezhen has fallen into the hands of North Annan. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" Ren Xuefeng handed the telegram to Du Yande, "Look, I just said it, our trick will definitely work." ”

"It's not as suspenseful as you say, is it?" Du Yande took the telegram and read it up and down twice, "Jiezhen has fallen, and now Bei Annan has begun to build pontoon bridges on the Jiehe River. These people have already begun to prepare for the army to march south, and we can't actually get any benefits, huh? ”

Ren Xuefeng found a lame stool and sat down, took a "Wen Qingyan" from the table, lit it in his mouth, and took a puff, "What we have is a benefit, and now this situation is that the river mussels are competing for the benefit of the fisherman, and now we are sitting on the mountain and watching the tiger fight." We have been tricked by the Medenor people in the past few months, it is really embarrassing, and the counterattack in the last month or so is really a joy! ”

"How can there be such a person who sits on the mountain and watches the tiger fight?" Du Yande couldn't help but sniffle, "Now the war between the North and the South has begun, although it is said that the government of Southern Annan is now controlled by the Medeno people, but it still hangs the sign of Annan, and the Li family is still the emperor of Southern Annan after all." Now that the Northern Dynasty has come down, the Maidno people can rise in the name of the Southern Dynasty, and the most important thing in this battle between the North and the South is the ownership of the entire Annam. ”

"Well, that's right." Yang Minghuan raised his head behind the desk on the side and nodded and said, "Now the ownership of Nan Annan has been transferred to Ruan Jiao through Ruan Fuyuan, and then it has been authorized by Ruan Jiao to the Senate. ”

"Yes," Du Yande said with a sigh, "But at that time, this plan was also discussed by the Executive Committee and then decided by the plenary congress, and it is no wonder that we ourselves, but I didn't expect that Bei Annan would be able to hold back his temperament and wait for us to cripple the South Shore Army before jumping out to pick peaches, which is really lacking in morality." ”

"I knew that we would be able to kill all the troops on the south bank by ourselves, and we didn't need to make a move on the North Annan side at all, we could do it ourselves." Ren Xuefeng took a puff of his cigarette a little annoyed and said, "In the end, we defeated those feudal warlords by ourselves, and we even asked others to pick the peaches." ”

"That's not what I said," Yang Minghuan didn't look up, just continued while looking at the documents in hand, "Those guys in the Northern Dynasty are not stupid, originally the forces of the North and the South were relatively even, if we failed to defeat the South Shore Army and let the South Shore Army turn around and fight them, they will definitely not be able to eat good fruits." Now that we have disabled the main force of the South Bank Army, even if we don't tell them, they will learn about the situation through other means, and then cross the river to pick peaches, but it will be a little later; And we don't have enough strength to go west, not to mention that the boundary town can't catch it, and we can't eat more than a dozen villages and towns along the way, and in the end we still have to ask the Northern Dynasty to eat it. So this thing is a conspiracy, people beat snakes and sticks openly, and they can't complain about others. ”

"Yes," Du Yande nodded, "Then let's go to the front general staff later for a meeting and talk about it." ”

"Well, okay," Ren Xuefeng nodded, "I'll go and call them, you guys are ready to go here." With that, he walked out.

Du Yande smiled and said to Yang Minghuan, "Now the situation in Annan is getting more and more lively, so the people of Maidno should not be able to hold it now, right?" ”

"Of course," Yang Minghuan smiled, "There are not many troops to fight in Nanannan, if it is right, I am afraid that the main force of the Southern Shore Army who escaped will probably defect to the Northern Dynasty." ”

"That's for sure, but it's a pity to say," Du Yande sighed softly, "Actually, if so many people can be captured and taken prisoner, we will have more manpower." ”

"Don't," Yang Minghuan hurriedly said, "If Sun Wenbin hears this, he won't have to jump up and bite you to death, the short interval between these two typhoons has ruined a lot of crops on the farm, and now Sun Wenbin is going crazy, every day he takes a group of people from the Planning Commission to check the inventory of the grain warehouse in Dongfang Port, and I can't wait to weigh the cooks to see if they steal food." If he really brought back another 10,000 captives, he would have to go crazy. Now only a few hundred wounded have been rescued, plus eight hundred prisoners have been captured, and he is saddened. ”

"By the way, what's going on with the Ministry of Commerce and Trade? Gu Qingqian's side hasn't found a grain import channel yet? Du Yande touched his chin, he was also very anxious about this matter, in fact, the food shortage in Dongfang Port has begun to become a little obvious, and the recent grain quota has been adjusted. Food rations for the workers of the Senate have always been distributed through the distribution of meal stamps to allow naturalized citizens to eat in the canteens directly under the various workplaces. During this period of time, the Planning Commission re-examined the daily ration of the naturalized people, and made a downward adjustment, and originally planned to adjust the school's free brunch, but Jiang Yan rushed to the Planning Commission to quarrel with Cheng Jun, and in the end, Cheng Jun still did not dare to take money from the child's mouth, but only adjusted the food ration of the adult naturalized people.

However, simply adjusting the naturalized people will inevitably make the naturalized people feel that they are being discriminated against or treated differently, so the quota in the canteen of the elders has also been lowered. In the past, Tang Shuai and dozens of veteran canteen staff had to work at least more than ten hours a day to complete the work, but now they can finish it in six hours and have time to rest, and the veterans naturally complain about the shrinkage of their treatment, but now is a special period, and there is no way, they can only privately distribute a piece of expired instant noodles to each person every day to satisfy their hunger by privately distributing a piece of instant noodles that are about to expire per person every day.

"The food problem is now like a noose around our necks, and we really feel like we're going to be out of breath." Du Yande sighed again, "There is really an urgent need to solve the food problem." ”

"I don't know what the situation is over there, Gu Qingqian has talked to the maritime merchants in Maideno, it's not that they are unwilling to help us transport grain, but the price of grain is relatively low and the weight is large compared to other industrial raw materials, and the merchants seek profits, you know, they would rather leave the tonnage for more valuable industrial raw materials than transport grain."

"Isn't there a subsidy?" Du Yande was stunned for a moment, "I remember that there are a lot of subsidies for grain procurement in the procurement department, and the price is higher than that of industrial raw materials, and industrial raw materials are logically said to occupy a larger tonnage and the price is cheaper, right?" ”

"I don't know about this," before Yang Minghuan finished speaking, there was a knock on the office door, "Please come in." ”

It was Gu Qingqian who came in, and Gu Qingqian before crossing was a round-faced girl who was not too tall, and her figure was slightly rich. But now in front of the two of them, she seemed to have changed into a different person, she had become a melon seed face, her figure was also a lot slimmer, and there were two dark circles on her face, and she rushed in with an angry look, pushed the lame stool that Ren Xuefeng had sat on not long ago, and saw that it didn't seem to be unstable and turned over, so she sat on it.

"I'm going to tell you about it!" As soon as she sat down, she said to the two executive committee members who were stunned, "If this matter can't be solved, we will be in big trouble." ”

Through a phone call from Gu Qingqian, the two learned the reason for the recent food crisis. Although the Senate is a community, the factories and various departments under the Senate are in fact their own, although it is said that which department makes more money must be handed over to the treasury in the end, but the amount of money made can still reflect the ability of the senator in charge of this department. The Senate was a new regime, and the senators who were willing to leave everything in the old world and come to the new world to work hard naturally had their own ambitions, so ensuring that their departments could bring more benefits to the Senate became the main manifestation of competition between departments. I don't know when it started, but several production plants in the industrial sector quietly began this kind of covert competition, and these factories obtained their own industrial raw materials from the warehouses of the Planning Commission through their own channels for production, and then submitted the finished products to the warehouses of the Ministry of Commerce and Trade at the purchase price to obtain profits.

This was originally a good thing, but it has begun to turn sour, in terms of the current capacity of the Oriental Port. The port of Vostochny does have railroad tracks in the port that allow trains to transport supplies to several industrial areas, but the lack of capacity is also very obvious. In particular, the steel mills and chemical plants in the Yancun Industrial Zone need 10 tons of raw materials, and the shortcomings of the transportation capacity are particularly obvious. Although a cargo Rolls-Royce with a Stirling engine has been developed, a car can carry a few hundred kilograms of cargo at most, and the production of these trucks is still low, and no three cars can be built in a month. In addition, the roads in the port of Vostochny were mainly rammed dirt roads, which were badly damaged in these two typhoons, so the road transportation was directly passed.

At present, due to the topography, the port area of the Oriental Port is designed to accommodate only twelve large merchant ships for loading and unloading at the same time, so if the department wants to get more industrial raw materials, it must keep an eye on what goods are loaded by the ships that come to deliver the raw materials. In this way, how to get those ships to load the goods they need becomes a very important matter. The bad habits of the old planes immediately found a market, and the patriarchs in charge of these aspects soon found a crooked way - bribery.

"That's right!" Gu Qingqian nodded affirmatively and said, "It's a bribe!" ”

"Bribes?" Du Yande and Yang Minghuan felt that their heads were not enough, "We are a manufacturer, and we have to pay bribes to obtain raw materials?" Isn't there a daily presence of ships coming in to load and unload cargo in this port? Why bribe? ”

"It's easy!" Gu Qingqian looked at the two executive committee members with an expression of "why don't you get the hang of it", "First of all, let those captains be more willing to transport the raw materials they need, the capacity of our port is limited, and the raw materials we need are more, so we will naturally give priority to the factories that need these raw materials." ”

"How is this bribery law?" Yang Minghuan looked confused, looked at Gu Qingqian and asked, "Do you want to pay the ship owner for them to transport?" ”

"That's not it," Gu Qingqian said, "isn't there someone in every factory who is responsible for the acceptance and sampling inspection of goods at the dock?" Saying that, Gu Qingqian looked at the table, "Why don't you even have a water cup?" ”

"It's not just a few days ago that Zhang Yuan protested that we all use inferior products, and we all asked the staff of the Executive Committee Secretariat to take them and deal with them." Du Yande explained and asked, "Are you thirsty?" If you want to drink water, I'll get someone to bring it in, and you can tell me first. As he spoke, he walked to the door again, said a few words to the people outside, and walked back. Let's move on first. ”

Gu Qingqian swallowed, "Okay, those people who are sampling and inspecting are stationed in the dock area in various factories, and they are mainly responsible for checking the qualification of raw materials and valuing them. But that's where the problem lies. As you all know, grain is subsidized, and the price is much higher than the price of industrial raw materials, but in order to make these shipowners willing to transport the raw materials they need, they have raised the purchase price, not overtly, but secretly through tonnage, pay more or buy low-quality raw materials as high prices, so that the price of raw materials exceeds the price of grain. ”

"How do you know?" Yang Minghuan was curious, "How long has this been going on?" ”

"I started to see the tonnage of imported grain decreasing day by day two months and thought it was strange, but at that time these guys were relatively hidden, and I didn't find out." Gu Qingqian said a little angrily, "If I hadn't sat quietly in the tavern in the port area for a while today, I'm afraid I would still be kept in the dark." It just so happened that the two captains behind me were chatting, saying that the amount of subsidy was larger, but fortunately the English I learned at that time was not lost, otherwise I don't know until now. ”

"How does this work?" Du Yande slapped it on the table a little angrily, "In order to ask for industrial raw materials, the food supply has been left behind, and in order to produce products, you don't even want your stomach?" These guys tighten their belts every day to engage in production, aren't they afraid of accidents? I thought it was the Medeno people who were behind the scenes, but in the end, it turned out to be our own fools. ”

"This has to be reformed!" Gu Qingqian said, "the pricing power can not be handed over to the manufacturers, but by the Ministry of Commerce and Trade in the hands of the unified hands, after all, the Ministry of Commerce and Trade is the main responsible department for import and export products, if there is no pricing power, how to carry out the macro control of the entire Oriental Port materials?" Now these patriarchs dare to compete for quotas with grain import channels in order to compete for raw materials, and if they are allowed to continue like this, the entire Oriental Port will sooner or later become a starving famine city. ”

"This?" Yang Minghuan and Du Yande glanced at each other, and after a while, Du Yande asked, "Why don't you have a detailed plan between the Ministry of Commerce and Trade and the Planning Commission to see what department will be jointly formed to manage the task of imports?" ”

"There is no need to create a new department at all, as long as the Planning Commission can transfer the authority to import to me," Gu Qingqian said, shaking the ponytail behind her head and continuing, "In fact, import and export should have been managed by the Ministry of Commerce and Trade, and the Planning Commission is simply overstepping its authority to manage imports. ”
