Chapter 144 - The people's grievances are boiling
Although Hainan has tens of millions of acres of arable land, in the final analysis, most of the arable land is wasteland.
Now, however, tens of millions of migrants have suddenly poured in in a matter of months.
Although it is said that along with these people along the way, there is also a part of food. But it is undeniable that the vast majority of them are in abject poverty. Urgently waiting for rescue.
Fortunately, Zhang Yun once thought about this problem in modern time and space. But if you want to supply tens of millions of people by yourself, you don't have to worry about food and clothing. This can only be powerless!
Fortunately, Hainan was chosen as the initial base, which was already considered. In the early stage of development, it cannot be made of grain!
After looking for a long time around the Tiandu Iron Mine near Sanya. Zhang Yun finally found a hidden valley......
Half an hour later, the small valley was filled with grain!
It's just that Zhang Yun didn't show the slightest happiness, on the contrary, he was still frowning. Because the English letters on these grain bags are so glaring......
"Fortunately, I didn't make a big purchase in China at that time, otherwise I wouldn't dare to take out so much food now. Of course, with these buns, you shouldn't know these foreign yards. ”
"But then again, even if any of them could recognize the yards, what the hell is this Thomas Farm?"
Zhang Yun, who comforted himself in his heart, could only bite the bullet, walked out of the valley, and sent a signal to summon Wang Xiangdong......
"Dashuai, what are these?"
As soon as he entered the valley, Wang Xiangdong was immediately shocked by the woven bag like a mountain and a sea, and couldn't help but ask the question in his heart.
You must know that for the safety of Tiandu Iron Mine, Wang Xiangdong, who has always been cautious and cautious. However, he had searched for a radius of 50 miles centered on iron ore, even those Yue tribes who were hiding here. It has long been banished to other places, but now......
"Ahem, ahem...... You don't care where it comes from, it's all flour anyway. Haven't you been getting dizzy about food lately? ”
"This batch of grain can definitely solve your urgent needs, plus the rice here can be triple cropped, so with this batch of grain, you want to support the next season of rice maturity. Isn't the gap that big? If we go elsewhere and find a way, we should be able to get through the biggest problem we are about to face. Isn't it? ”
Wang Xiangdong was a little surprised, this was also expected by Zhang Yun, but he didn't expect him to dare to ask. This made Zhang Yun almost goof.
Fortunately, after coughing for a while, Zhang Yun finally made this lie come true. And see that Zhang Yun's attitude is firm. Wang Xiangdong was also so interested that he didn't dare to speak again. Instead, they pounced on the woven bags that filled the entire valley......
……
On the way to the robbery, people with more eyes will hide some food with them. Of course, more people bring the most expensive things in the house. For example, coins.
But no matter what you bring, after arriving in Hainan. Everyone was dumbfounded!
When the people who brought the coins came here, they found that this place was actually a planned economy, and all the food and supplies were in the hands of the army. As for the bazaar, there is no such thing as a bazaar. As far as the eye can see, there is no wasteland......
Ordinary individuals and families can only receive enough food to ensure that they will not starve to death, and just like that, when you receive relief food, you have to be faster!
And those who brought a small amount of food were able to eat enough in the first days. But then the days were like Wang Xiaoer's New Year, it was not as good as one day.
It didn't take long for all the people, all the people who didn't work for the army, such as coolie battalions and other people in the army's direct jurisdiction. All of them have yellow faces and thin muscles. Whether you were rich or poor before, by this time, all have become very equal.
Therefore, the official family and the scholar class who were originally sent to the coolie camp, as well as the ordinary landlord family. On the contrary, it has become the envy of everyone. I don't see the slightest hint that they're being punished!
Because the army wants them to work, at least they will be fed......
The resentment of the common people against those in power when they do not have enough to eat. It was almost beyond the sky.
All those in power, including Zhang Yun, are well aware of this.
Although there is still a bit of peace around the army base, there are other places. That's shocking!
At this time of mourning and public indignation. The announcement of the conscription was finally posted. In almost every temporary settlement, there are soldiers who preach the benefits of being a soldier......
……
When the sky was slightly bright, the second dog hurriedly went out with a cloth bag. Wait until you get to the temporary relief food distribution point set up a few miles away from your home. I thought I had come early enough, but I was stunned by the scene in front of me!
Originally, Wang Qi from a village saw Ergouzi standing outside stupidly, and he didn't even know how to come and platoon, so he hurriedly said: "Ergouzi ......"
The second dog who was awakened by Wang Qi hurriedly ran over, you know, don't look at the queue in front of you is already very long, but if you don't squeeze now, there is a longer queue waiting behind!
"The world is getting more and more difficult, Ergouzi, do you still have food at home?" There's a fart stockpile. Rats came into my house. Lao Qi, believe it or not, it has to cry out......
Wang Qi had just made a start, and the second dog began to complain.
It's no wonder that the second dog is so resentful, when he was originally in his hometown on Jiangnan West Road, although he couldn't eat enough, but he couldn't get to the point where he is now, the old lady at home is about to faint from hunger!
After all, at that time, you could still hunt some wild vegetables or something, and now on this Qiongzhou Island, there is a sudden influx of so many foreign populations, not to mention wild vegetables, even the bark around the village. You'll have to be quick with your hands and feet. Otherwise, this day would not have come to such a point.
The complaint of the second dog did not deliberately lower his tone. So in the blink of an eye, sleepy-eyed others are hazy. All of them joined the grievance meeting, and the atmosphere was extremely hot for a while. Almost even the small number of soldiers who were responsible for distributing relief food in front of them could not be suppressed......
"How? In the beginning, people were more or less half-starved, but now this relief food is getting less and less. ”
"Who's to say it isn't! If this continues, the anti-early Laozi will definitely be against him......"
"Shh......h
"What a shhhhh What's so great about bandits? ”
Once the people's grievances are aroused, according to the character of the Chinese keyboard warriors, although it is said that they can still survive now, no one dares to really get up and do anything. But it also made the dozen or so soldiers who distributed relief food tremble!
Just when I didn't know what to do, a long line of carriages suddenly drove at the end of the wide official road. Look at that posture, but there is no end in sight.
The crowd who suddenly couldn't figure out the situation. Gradually, it subsided.
