Volume 2: The End Is Coming Chapter 75 (2)
Third, he needs economists, because the current Ren'an nominally belongs to the jurisdiction of the Ji Zhu Shi Corps, but Ji Zhu Shi, who is also anxious, doesn't care about them, and all things have to be solved by themselves, not to mention the infected, let's say that the 300,000 people in Ren'an, if they want to live, they have to be fed and clothed, and if they want to be fed and clothed, they have to exchange their needs with others through labor, a few months ago, this was not a problem, because there was a very perfect trading system - barter.
But now, it doesn't work, because the pillar of Ringan is tourism, and 60 percent of its population is engaged in tourism and related industries. Less than 30 percent of the population is a farmer who can produce grain. Although these people engaged in tourism can go to animal husbandry, fishing and hunting, military service, and labor (demolishing dams, reclaiming wasteland, building roads, and building walls) to support themselves with temporary relief food, they still have to exchange labor products with each other, right?
So, what is the right way to change the law? And as the ruler of Ren'an, how can he set tax standards to meet the needs of defense without causing Ring'an to wither? Jia Zhong has never had a bottom in his heart, and the group of people from the Ann Statistics Bureau are good at studying feng shui balls, but they are not good at how to ensure the fairness of transactions and avoid financial overpayments. Therefore, after thinking about it, Jia Zhongquan still felt that he should try his luck in Lijiang, which owns a university, to see if he could save a few professors who understand economics and be reliable.
In fact, a more important point is that if the Xiaobeihe granary, one of the three large granaries in Lianghe River, can be taken back in the Lianghe River in Lijiang and pressed into the Ringan granary as the central bank's "reserve", it will be meaningful to enhance his personal prestige and stabilize the people's hearts that are calm on the surface but actually surging undercurrent.
All in all, Lijiang is a must-go, the key is how to go, when to go, and how many people to go! Jia Zhongquan's attitude is to hurry up early rather than late, because a little later, whether it is Ren'an or Lijiang, there will be a few more variables. But he was worried that once the army was dispatched, Ren'an would be chaotic again, so he set his eyes on Wei Yilin and Liu Shimeng - the two skeletons were amazing, and they would become great weapons in the future, now, go to Lijiang to explore the way and complete the first test!
Wei Yilin returned to the captain's room with a bitter gourd-like face, pulled several grassroots cadres together, explained a few words, and then started training! After all, with such a heavy burden, how can you do without some physical reserves? Moreover, they have to practice twice as hard - God knows if Jia Zhongquan will suddenly have a whim and ask them to carry the entire Lijiang back to Ren'an.
Wei Yilin knocked down the small blackboard in the middle of the captain's room, sucked the map of Lijiang on it with four magnets, and then waved his hand at Qin Tianwu, signaling the latter to come over: "We are going to Lijiang to play a business game, to put it simply, it is to continuously recruit local survivors, of course, the premise is to ensure that they can be controlled until they have the strength to control the airport." ”
Regarding the "surrender and rebellion", Jia Zhongquan has a clear request, preferably a middle-aged man whose family is still alive, because these people, as long as they bring their family back to Ren'an, most of them will be desperate to protect the airport in Lijiang for themselves. Of course, the more enthusiastic single young people the better, as for the underworld boss, the remnants of the local hometown defense regiment and the like, the former is not wanted, and the latter, unless it is really as fanatical as the youth army, otherwise, it will be cut in two, because the stray soldiers are coars, and the defeated soldiers are thieves.
Because the task is so heavy and the standards are so vague, Jia Zhongquan asked Liu Shimeng and Wei Yilin to draw lots, the one who drew the short lot went to recruit people, and the one who signed the long lot went to survey the grain depot. As for the search for surviving medical staff and economics professors, just call their men. Wei Yilin had bad luck and drew a short lot.
"How long is it going to take?" Qin Tianwu was sweating when he heard this, this task, just smoothing its train of thought would be time-consuming and laborious, let alone carrying it out?
"Everything we do now is to survive." Wei Yilin seemed to have seen through Qin Tianwu's thoughts a long time ago, "The current Ren'an is not enough to support 300,000 people. When this happens, it will be impossible for the days to return to the past in a short period of time, so forget about the past. Resume. ”
"Okay." Qin Tianwu hugged the elbow of his right hand, opened his mouth and bit the thumb of his right hand, stared at the map for a long time before frowning, "How many things do we have to bring?" ”
"Well, let's put it this way, we are equivalent to playing a game of 'opening with one pair of hands, laying down a city', you just imagine that it takes about fifty people to control this airport, and to get together the qualifications, let alone a few months."
"Then we have to bring food for at least ten days, and we have to keep collecting food and drink." The fingers of Qin Tianwu's two hands moved a few times, and he calculated, "It is estimated that there must be more than thirty kilograms of weight." ”
"I really had to find a pickup truck this time."
"Hey, what is the attitude of the upper authorities towards the infected, to kill or not to kill?"
Wei Yilin turned around, rummaged through his desk for a while, and took out a piece of paper that was pressed underneath, this is a copy of the notice issued by the confidential room to various departments, Wei Yilin quickly glanced at it, and after confirming the question, he handed it to Qin Tianwu: "The consul signed Executive Order No. 31, announcing that in the case of a threat to the safety of life, citizens can kill the infected without any responsibility. Violent agency workers can shoot and kill anyone who might threaten their safety without any legal responsibility. ”
"It's like leaving us to fend for ourselves." Qin Tianwu's hand holding the document kept shaking.
"Isn't it the same when you throw us to the tribute? In fact, these infected people are not much different from Chaisa. ”
The sky in the mountains is always colder than the plains, and at night, it is even colder than the sword, this kind of weather, I am afraid that only the warm quilt is the only place suitable for people to stay, but people, although they are the primates of all things, but they are always involuntarily.
No, Bai Yunlian had to force down the idea of going back to sleep again, and ran to the playground to endure the torture. It turned out that since Jia Zhongquan decided to send people to Lijiang to "loot", in order to ensure the safety of the members of the investigation team, all the selected people must undergo double the intensive physical training every day to ensure that their physical reserves can cope with the "looting" where there is only danger and no rescue...... It's really not very good, so extra training has become commonplace.
"Feeling okay?" Wei Yilin walked to Bai Yunlian, who was squatting on the ground and couldn't even breathe, stretched out his hand, and forcibly "lifted" her, "Let's go first, don't squat so fast." But what Wei Yilin didn't expect was that as soon as he let go, Bai Yunlian's waist unconsciously bent downward, and at this bend, the bulging rucksack on her back was exposed.
"Why are you so heavy...... Wei Yilin took a lot of effort to untie this damaging thing from Bai Yunlian, who couldn't straighten her waist, and with a "bang", the backpack smashed a big hole on the ground.
"Also...... It's not you ......" Bai Yunlian looked at Wei Yilin angrily, "What...... Thirty kilograms...... Load...... Running ...... with weights"
"Alright, alright." Wei Yilin patted Bai Yunlian's back, and waited for her to be out of breath before taking out the silky chocolate she bought from Ren'an from her trouser pocket, "Make it up for you." ”
"I didn't ...... I don't have an appetite......" Bai Yunlian glanced at Wei Yilin, and the hand that grabbed his arm did not move to his palm.
"Then I'll eat it myself." Wei Yilin looked at her with a wicked smile on his face, pretending to tear open the chocolate bag.
"Humph!"
"Haha, here you go." Wei Yilin recklessly opened the pocket of Bai Yunlian's training uniform and forced the chocolate into it.
"You...... What are you looking for from me? Bai Yunlian doesn't seem to be able to catch her breath yet, maybe she doesn't want to catch her breath yet?
"It may be a little long to go to Lijiang this time." Wei Yilin kept his forearm tilted upward, so as not to "accidentally" slip off Bai Yunlian's arm, "Perhaps, there will be some days when I can't take a bath." ”
"If the special drug can be developed as soon as possible, it will be nothing if you don't take a bath." When she said this, Bai Yunlian's head drooped a little, she didn't want to, making Wei Yilin feel that she was a crying girl.
"Yes, definitely."
"By the way, is there any news from our robes in Yuanzhou?"
It seems that this girl still doesn't want to believe the scene filmed by the drone. Also, who wants to believe that a good hometown has become like this when it is said to change?
"I used to imagine how I would face the loss of my parents." Wei Yilin raised his head and looked at the faint stars in the sky, the sky in the deep mountains, clear and bright, even if it was covered with a thin veil, he could see the brilliant stars behind it.
"But I didn't expect it to be like this." Wei Yilin used his right hand, which was still free to move, to gently pull up the hem of his shirt, and from there, he took out his own matching gun, and slowly raised it in front of the two of them, "But at least, what else can we do for them, can't we?" ”
"You mean...... They...... They didn't ......."
"It's not." Seeing that Bai Yunlian was thinking more and more, Wei Yilin hurriedly stopped her, "If we didn't join the army, now, what else can we do besides worrying about the future?" ”
"Yun Lian, this battle will take a long time, and the people you see now may suddenly leave you one day, but no matter what happens, you must remember the oath you made in front of Mr." Wei Yilin put the gun back in the holster, "Because of it, it is the hope that supports us to go on." ”
At that moment, Bai Yunlian seemed to understand why, Jia Zhongquan asked them to sing the national flag song and swear an oath every morning when they got up. Because, the living will eventually leave, and only Chixian is an eternal existence, so only by truly turning it into your own belief can you resist the erosion of despair and survive until the day when the special medicine comes out.
