In the fifteenth year of Zhongxing, the sixth day of December in the year of the sheep at the end of the lunar calendar, that is, the New Year's Day in the Western calendar.

In another twenty-four days, it will be the Chinese New Year's Eve of China, removing the old and welcoming the new. The Chinese government's annual year-end summary report meeting will be held on the day of New Year's Day in the West, which lasts for three days.

This year is no exception, at this time Hanjing has gathered the governors of all provinces across the country, they will participate in the summary meeting, report on the province's industry and agriculture, people's clothing, food, housing and transportation in this year.

Before the day was completely dawn, nearly 100 high-ranking officials of the Chinese Imperial Government had gathered in the Qinzheng Hall in the Forbidden City. Outside is still snowy, but inside the Qinzheng Palace, the atmosphere is very lively.

Two, two, three, or three gathered together to chat and reminisce, and in the entire Qinzheng Palace, the sound of conversation and discussion was endless for a long time.

On the side of the Qinzheng Palace, Chen Shao's special office location, in the imperial study, the atmosphere was more tense.

Wang Xiaoshan and Xia Mengyu came to the imperial study to wait for Chen Shao a long time ago, and Chen Shao, who had just finished washing, heard a not very good news as soon as he came in.

"Report to Your Majesty, something has indeed happened, and since the morning before yesterday, we have completely lost contact with the assassination team. So far, almost forty-eight hours have passed. Xia Mengyu was the first to speak.

Wang Xiaoshan also went on to say: "According to the indicators of independent operational directives, if a squad that goes out to carry out special tasks loses contact with the command for more than 48 hours unless there are special circumstances, it is equivalent to the annihilation of the entire army. However, Indonesia belongs to Japan's rear, and because of the distance, the assassination team did not carry walkie-talkies and other short-range communication equipment. They all need to rely on long-wave radio stations to contact the command. If you encounter any unexpected situation, it is normal to not be able to contact the command for a while. After all, in the rear of the enemy's army, anything can happen. ”

Although Wang Xiaoshan's words were more of a self-comforting meaning, Chen Shao's brows couldn't help but wrinkle slightly.

"I remember very well that the assassination team is the Ghost Thorn Squad, and their captain Ghost Thorn is one of the original members of the Praetorian Guard, and because of his exclusive offensive ability, he quit the Praetorian Guard and returned to the Ghost Special Forces. A member of the Ghost Thorn Squad. They are also the elite of the ghost special forces. Such an elite team. If they want to run, even the devils of the squadron can't stop them. Chen Shao said this, and suddenly asked Xia Mengyu: "Is there any useful news from the spies over there in Indonesia?" ”

"I was about to report. According to information from the Indonesian spy division. Akira Muto left Kanbaru Castle alone the day before yesterday. In addition to a squadron of mechanized Japanese troops, there is also an infantry squadron and the Japanese Army's Blue Flower Special Attack Team. Our spy is not a close confidant of Muto Akira, and there is no way to follow him. And Muto Akira and his party. After leaving the city, he did not have any contact with the city of Kanbaru.

At the same time, Indonesia's spy department has also come up with a lot of updates. They found that some mysterious faces had appeared all over Indonesia, and after many investigations, these people belonged to a Japanese intelligence agency, the Ume Agency.

According to various verifications by the Japanese spy department, the head of this so-called Mei organ is Kenji Dohihara. However, we do not have a lot of intelligence about the nature of this intelligence unit. But one thing is certain, this is an organization dedicated to spying on Imperial intelligence.

One thing that can be concluded is that the previous leaks of intelligence were the work of this organization. I'm afraid that this time we have lost contact with the assassination team, and we have nothing to do with this organization. ”

Xia Mengyu said a lot of things, this is the latest information in the past two days. Despite losing contact with the assassination team, one thing to be happy about is that the hidden enemy has finally been discovered.

Chen Shao nodded, but he didn't care about the information that Xia Mengyu said later, now he just wanted to know that there was information about the assassination team.

"About the organization of the Mei Agency, I don't want to know now, since the hidden enemy has surfaced, then there is no need to be polite, what support is needed, whether it is the military or the government department, you contact yourself, I will only support them and fully support you.

Now I want to know, there is information about the assassination squad. ”

"Yes!" Xia Mengyu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, there is one more thing. The morning before yesterday, not long after Muto Akira left the city, not far from Kanbaru City, the sound of battle was heard. Due to the tight encirclement of the Japanese army on all sides, our intelligence officers did not receive any effective information. The Japanese claimed that they had discovered the traces of an Indonesian guerrilla force and dispatched a squadron of infantry to encircle and suppress it. ”

"Is there such a coincidence?" Chen Shao asked rhetorically.

"This matter is indeed doubtful, I am afraid that the Japanese army is not encircling and suppressing some guerrillas, but assassination squads." Wang Xiaoshan couldn't help but speak.

"This information has not been confirmed with any certainty, and it is not easy to speculate." In fact, Xia Mengyu's thoughts are not much different from the two of them, as an intelligence officer, he also has a very strong intuition, this matter is likely to be the result of the assassination team being discovered, and the so-called guerrillas are just a smoke bomb.

At this moment, Wang Jie knocked on the door, walked to Chen Shao's side, and said, "Your Majesty, all the officials at or above the provincial level who participated in the meeting have arrived, and the time is almost up." ”

"I see." Chen Shao first replied to Wang Jie, and then said to Xia Mengyu and Wang Xiaoshan: "You two should find out about this matter as soon as possible, and if you have any information about the assassination team, you must also report it as soon as possible." ”

"Yes!" Xia Mengyu and Wang Xiaoshan replied in unison.

Chen Shao didn't say anything more, walked out of the imperial study, and walked towards the Qinzheng Hall accompanied by Wang Jie.

Due to Wang Jie's report, when Chen Shao walked into the Qinzheng Palace, it was already very quiet inside. All the officials sat quietly in their seats. When Chen Shao sat on the main seat, facing all the officials. All the officials stood up at the same time and said in unison, "I have seen Your Majesty." ”

"Sit down!" Chen Shao waved his hand. After all the officials sat down, he spoke: "The fortunate year is coming to an end, and this year's situation is also a little special, the empire has officially entered the war. This has had a great impact on the construction of people's livelihood in China.

The empire has always taken the construction of people's livelihood as the first priority, and this point is that in times of war, as long as it is not the moment of national war mobilization, the construction of people's livelihood cannot be stopped for a moment.

The people are the foundation of the country, and for thousands of years in China, from Yao Shun to modern times, which era is not because the people can't survive will rebel.

Especially in today's era of rapid information development, officials of all classes need to keep in mind their duties.

Many of you are my students, and I taught them single-handedly, and I don't need to say much about many of the big truths. As long as you always keep in mind that 'if you live in a temple, you will worry about its people, and if you are far away from the rivers and lakes, you will worry about its king.' It is a worry about advancing and a worry about retreating. But when will it be? It must be said that the worries of the world are worried, and the joys of the world are happy. ’

If anyone forgets who they are, don't blame me for not remembering the friendship between teacher and student, and let the laws of the empire rule. ”

Although the words of the warning have been spoken differently from year to year, two of them have never changed. One is to serve the people, and the other is to serve the officials. At the end of each year, Chen Shao would warn these government officials at or above the provincial level. If he really starts to get carried away, he Chen Shao will definitely not show mercy. The law is as it is.

As soon as Chen Shao's words fell, Wang Jie, who was beside him, immediately opened his mouth and continued: "The conference starts now. ”

At this time, Chen Shao also opened the large stack of documents on the table in front of him, and the top one was, "The Total Grain Output of Zhongxing in the Fifteenth Year".

Seeing that Chen Shao began to look through the documents, the Minister of Agriculture of the Chinese Empire, who was sitting below, hurriedly got up and read aloud: "Since the empire's third-level grain varieties began to replace the previous second-level grain varieties six years ago, the empire has achieved rapid grain growth for seven consecutive years.

Compared with last year, this year's grain planting area has increased by 820,000 hectares, and the national grain planting area has reached 110 million hectares, with a total harvest of 420 million tons of grain. This is an increase of 6.7 percent over last year's total grain output, with 700 kg of grain per capita. Among them, rice harvested ......, corn harvested ......, and wheat harvested .......

This year's meat production has also increased very high compared to last year, and the meat output recorded in storage this year has reached 63.52 million tons, an increase rate of 12.7%.

…………”

After listening to the report of the Minister of Agriculture, Chen Shao put down the documents in his hand and said: "When it comes to people's livelihood, I have also been emphasizing people's livelihood. And what is the root of people's livelihood? The most important foundation of people's livelihood is food. Solving the problem of feeding more than 600 million Chinese has always been a top priority, and we should not take it lightly at any time.

In order to ensure self-sufficiency in grain, it is necessary to protect the limited cultivated land resources and continuously increase the yield, and it is necessary to do a good job in seeds, pesticides, chemical fertilizers, storage, circulation, processing, and other related work. ”

Indeed, if eating is a problem, what else can there be? Food security is the most fundamental issue related to the livelihood of more than 600 million people.

Of course, it is not easy to ensure the safety and security of this most fundamental issue of people's livelihood.

For the Chinese, 700 kilograms of grain per capita was an unimaginable figure before. Even if we stop planting for a year, it will basically meet the consumption of more than 600 million people in China for more than three consecutive years. (The actual per capita grain is about 380 kilograms.) ）

This figure is a miraculous figure for China, which was still unable to provide food and clothing for everyone more than ten years ago. If it weren't for the seed base brought by the Red Alert base, it would not have been possible to reach such a number. The average grain output per mu is already comparable to the grain output per mu in the 21 st century. At this time, the population is half of that of the 21st century, and the per capita food ratio has naturally risen. (To be continued......)
