Chapter 1289: The Situation Is Grim

Grain merchants in some places, seeing that the price of grain sold by the Far East is too low, think that the Far East is making such a move to support itself, and sooner or later it will be impossible to bear it. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Therefore, they colluded together and concentrated their funds to go to the Far East to set up various places to sell grain, in an attempt to buy grain from the Far East on a large scale. But when I went, I learned that the Far East implements a policy of restricting the purchase of grain, and each person must not buy more than a certain amount of grain every day.

They secretly scolded the Far East for being too insidious, and they became more and more convinced that the Far East was holding on. So they came up with another idea, that is, to organize people to buy grain from the common people in various places at a higher price than the Far East.

But more than ten days have passed, and the Far East still has not stopped selling grain, and every day a large number of horse-drawn carts full of grain enter the city, and the city is full of mountains of grain.

The grain merchants everywhere were completely desperate, and finally some people couldn't bear it. First of all, there are some small grain merchants with a thin net worth, and they can't survive in the first place. Therefore, they came to the grain sales points in the Far East one after another, knelt outside the grain sales points in the Far East and cried loudly, hoping that the Far East would let them go, and even the officers and soldiers of the Far East would smash them with the butts of their guns and not leave.

When the news reached Beijing, Gao Jianguo, Li Ming, Wang He and others, who had been paying close attention to the operation, immediately came to the emergency task force of the Ministry of Commerce.

This organization was temporarily established by the company before the Central Plains Campaign, and its main task was to deal with various economic emergencies in the early stage of the company's entry into the Central Plains.

In addition to the Ministry of Commerce, other departments of the company have set up similar departments. The main thing is to deal with all aspects of emergency emergencies.

The office location of the emergency working group of the Ministry of Commerce is arranged in a huge side hall of the Daming Palace. When everyone walked into the office, they saw that the originally empty palace was already filled with a large number of tables and chairs, which seemed very crowded.

Dozens of staff members of the Ministry of Commerce were busy nervously at their desks, and from time to time some people suddenly stood up and shook the documents in their hands, shouting loudly.

The innermost part of the office is a long table, Liang Yujie is sitting in the innermost part of the table and working hard, at this time she looks very unbearable, unkempt and dirty, and her eyes are full of bloodshots.

In front of her lay a walkie-talkie, a laptop, a few notes full of things, a large stack of papers, and a steaming cup of tea.

The long desk was filled with laptops and a dozen telephones, and a dozen or so Department of Commerce staff members sat below her, constantly operating the computers, taking notes and receiving documents back and forth.

On the wall next to the long table is a huge long whiteboard, full of various charts, curves, and grain sales data from various places, and several staff members are constantly writing and drawing on it, because the whiteboard is very high, and many times they have to step on ladders to work.

On the other side of the long desk, more than 20 radio stations temporarily transferred from the Military Commission have been receiving and receiving telegrams non-stop. The staff of the Ministry of Commerce constantly passed the contents of various documents and telegrams back and forth.

Gao Jianguo, Li Ming, and Wang He glanced at each other, and they couldn't help laughing. The three of them didn't alarm everyone, anyway, the people here are busy like something now, and no one pays attention to them at all.

When they came behind Liang Yujie, they heard her talking loudly with a walkie-talkie, and after putting down the walkie-talkie, they shouted at a girl who was under her head: "Xiao Sun, immediately give me the company's grain sales data in Luoyang, hurry up and ......."

The girl nodded immediately when she heard this, but as soon as she inadvertently looked up, she saw Li Ming and them. This girl was a little confused in an instant, and looked at the three of them with an incredible face.

Liang Yujie waited for a while, and found that the girl had not reported the data to her, so she immediately raised her head and said with a straight face: "Xiao Sun, I will say it again, give me the company's grain sales data in Luoyang......"

"Director...... They, ah no...... The chief is here......"

The girl's incoherent words also made Liang Yujie turn her head, and she stood up with a smile when she saw Li Ming and them.

"Yo...... Ladies and gentlemen, here they are...... Xiao Sun, go and make tea for the chief, Xiao Li, you guys get a few chairs......"

Sending away a few stunned girls, Liang Yujie said with a smile: "It's too chaotic here, don't mind, chief." ”

Gao Jianguo hurriedly shook his hand and said, "Xiao Liang, let's just come over and take a look, you are busy with your ......"

Wang He also smiled and said: "Everyone has worked hard these days, it is said that you haven't slept for a few days, I want to criticize you, no matter how important your work is, you must also pay attention to your body." ”

After Li Ming and the others sat down, Liang Yujie smiled bitterly: "Leaders, it's not that I don't want to rest, I can fall asleep now as long as I close my eyes and sit." But now the situation is also very serious, if we can't persevere, then the previous efforts will be wasted. Fortunately, the emergency response team of our Ministry of Commerce has received strong support from all departments of the company.

The Air Force Department has dispatched a large number of airships to provide us with all-round communications relays in various parts of the Central Plains to ensure that our communications with various localities are unimpeded at any time.

In order to cooperate with us, the Admiralty mobilized almost all the river vessels, and according to our unified deployment, promptly dispatched a large amount of grain to the grain sales points in various places. The Ministry of Intelligence has also used all their resources in various places to provide us with a wealth of valuable information. In addition, the garrisons, working groups of the Nationalities Affairs Committee, and grassroots cadres from various localities also participated in this operation, so we are confident that we will win this war. ”

The three of them were more relieved to hear her words. In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the plan, the company used almost all its resources, and Liang Yujie sat in Beijing to command it.

Li Ming thought for a moment and said, "The plan is going well, is there any pressure?" ”

Liang Yujie smiled bitterly, and then said: "Although the plan is going very smoothly, but the pressure is too great, especially in the past few days, the storage of grain in various places is facing tension, in order to replenish in time, many areas with underdeveloped transportation, even mobilized the Ministry of the Air Force, used hundreds of sorties of airships, and carried out several assault lifting and airlifting, which can stabilize the situation."

But if the grain merchants in the Central Plains continue to insist, then it will be really difficult to say. I have just made statistics on the grain reserves in various localities, and at present our grain stocks in the Central Plains are not optimistic. Although we have a sound grain strategic plan in eastern Liaodong and have stored a large amount of grain overseas, we cannot bring it in at all in a short period of time. (To be continued.) )
