When I came out of the Spring City Hotel, the atmosphere was much more lively because everyone had drunk some alcohol.

Xun Shifei said with a smile: "Dean Li will stay at the National Hotel today, and we will leave for Xizhou early tomorrow morning." ”

"Yes. Then rest early. ”

"Good night."

“……”

After returning to the residence, as soon as they finished washing, Jia Liping and Yuan Bing walked in together.

"Sit,"

Li Zhen wiped his hair with a towel and said casually.

Jia Liping and the two of them were not outside, they poured water for themselves, and then sat there quietly waiting for Li Zhen.

It can be seen that Yuan Bing is a little nervous and apprehensive. He still had a document in his hand.

Li Zhen took a sip of tea and asked, "Say it." ”

Yuan Bing said with some apprehension: "Master Li, this is the specific situation in Xizhou, you ......"

"I don't look at it. You tell me. ”

"Yes."

Yuan Bing cleared his throat and said, "Xizhou, with a total population of 42 million. The annual fiscal revenue is converted into gold coupons, which is 50 million. Of this, 30 million will be spent on infrastructure construction. The surplus was 20 million, of which 10 million was turned over to the state treasury. The state's treasury has only 10 million to use. ”

Li Zhen nodded: "What is the annual available funds in Dongzhou?" ”

"Dongzhou's annual available funds are 260 million."

Li Zhen asked again: "What about Nanzhou?" ”

Jia Liping answered: "Nanzhou is 120 million a year. ”

Li Zhen sighed: "Xizhou, poor." ”

"yes. Poor. ”

Jia Liping and Yuan Bing also sighed.

It can't be helped.

There is no output in the Western State.

There is no tourism industry, no convenient transportation. There is also limited land suitable for sowing, and the desertification is even more severe than in the southeastern state.

This is a major factor in the poverty of the Western State.

Li Zhen asked: "So how many catties of grain does Xizhou produce a year now?" ”

"The total annual grain production in Xizhou is 90 million kilograms."

Li Zhen frowned: "It has a population of more than 40 million people, and the annual grain production is 90 million kilograms. That's not enough. ”

"Yes. Therefore, most of the annual funds in Western States are actually used to import grain from other states. ”

Li Zhen pondered for a while and said:

"It's a vicious circle. If this continues, Xizhou will become poorer and poorer, and all the money will be used to buy food. And the income is beyond the means, and the industry is not developed enough. ”

"yes, who's to say it's not?"

"Some time ago, Xizhou wanted to imitate the industrialization of Dongzhou, but failed."

Li Zhen asked, "What is the reason for the failure?" ”

"The reason for the failure was that the purchase of gold vouchers was too small."

Li Zhen was confused: "What's the situation?" ”

"Li Shi may not understand the specific situation in Xizhou. In general, it is to recognize food, not money. Whether it is Kyushu coins or vigorously promoted 10,000 annuity coupons, in fact, there are some unworkables in Xizhou. The people can't eat enough, they can't buy food in the market, or the price of food is extremely high, and currency is just a piece of paper. ”

Jia Liping calmly analyzed: "There are even black-hearted capitalists who buy a large amount of grain from rich lands and transfer it to Xizhou to double it. In this way, grain resale is a phenomenon that makes Xizhou obviously short of grain, but the price of grain is extremely high in the country. ”

Li Zhen took a sip of tea and said: "Controlling the capitalists to resell grain and dealing with this problem is to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. This time, Yuan Bing chose to carry out a pilot project in Xizhou to sow hybrid rice in an all-round way, and the local selection was very good. Only to get Xizhou out of poverty and hunger. The rest of the problems will be solved. Get rid of hunger first, wait for the purchasing power of money to rise and then carry out industrialization, and Xizhou will rise up with the trend. As for the transportation problem, it is a comprehensive layout of the country, but there is no need to consider it now. ”

"That's right, Master Li. Therefore, this time to visit Xizhou is a very important opportunity. We must have an in-depth understanding of the people's situation in Xizhou, and we must go deep into the grassroots to know what to expect. In this way, the plan of grain replacement can be fully launched in Xizhou. I think the most important issue is to solve the distrust of the people. ”

Li Zhen asked: "How do you say this?" ”

Yuan Bing frowned and said: "The farmers who have grain fields in Xizhou regard grain fields as their lifeblood. They have become accustomed to sowing the same kind of rice that they used to have and keep the seeds at home every year and continue the next year. It's hard to accept a new kind of rice for them to grow. ”

"Why is that?"

"Because of the problem of cognition. If they sow new rice, they feel like they're taking a risk. If it doesn't work out in the coming year, or if the production is less than before, the whole family will suffer. Accepting new things is risky, but with old things, it can be the same as in previous years. ”

Jia Liping answered: "The problem of the government is naturally just one sentence. The key depends on the attitude of the people. If they accept hybrid rice, then next year's Xizhou will be another Xizhou. If you don't accept it, then you can't help it. ”

Li Zhen nodded, he somewhat understood the thoughts of the people of Xizhou.

Nor can it be said that this is a wrong thinking.

It's just that what they have now is too precious for them to take the risk of accepting something new. Who knows what the new thing will look like?

Li Zhen was a little worried, afraid of it, and everything would be ready by then. As a result, when the seeds were sown, most of the people went against the policy and secretly sowed the old rice.

It's hard to get rid of this kind of problem.

The government's pressure on the people is pressure, and there are policies at the top, and there are countermeasures at the bottom. Some ordinary people are going to go against you, and Mingli promises you to accept the seeds you provide. But when sowing seeds, secretly plant old seeds in the ground, who knows?

At harvest time, the truth was revealed. But then it was too late.

Li Zhen rubbed his temples with a little headache: "Let's do this tonight." ”

"Master Li, farewell."

“……”

The next day, early in the morning. Li Zhen woke up from his sleep, still reminiscing about the scene of Zhang Zhi making out with himself.

There was a knock on the door, "Master Li, it's time to leave." ”

"Got it."

“……”

After washing up, Li Zhen walked out of the room, and there were already dozens of people waiting quietly outside the door for a long time.

Surrounded by Li Zhen, he entered the restaurant and went to have a hearty breakfast. A few black cars arrived downstairs, and the energetic Xun Shifei walked up: "Dean Li, are you ready?" ”

Li Zhen drank a mouthful of millet porridge and wiped his mouth: "Let's go." ”

Xun Shifei and Li Zhen were parallel, slightly half a step behind, and said as they walked down: "This time, we are preparing to divide the troops into two ways." ”

"Why are there two soldiers?"

"Because there are so many people going this time, there are more things to carry. For safety reasons, some people have to travel overland to Xizhou. And I'll wait, take the airship first. How many people is Dean Li going to take on the airship? It's not good to go too many airships, this time a total of twenty airships were dispatched, only ten were seated, and the other ten were spare, carrying supplies, etc. After all, the country still has a lot of factors for safety considerations for this trip. ”

"Understand, understand, understand."

Turning his head, Li Zhen said, "Liping and Yuan Bing will come with me, and Qi Stunned will follow." Ding Zhenzhen, you take the rest of the people by land. ”

"Yes, Master Li."
