The occurrence of the theft made people panic in the security zone, especially those survivors, they more or less have some private supplies, yesterday those survivors who participated in the search for materials The amount of materials is greater, these materials are the foundation of survival, extremely precious, but it is impossible to carry them with them at any time, but after the theft, no one dares to let their materials leave their sight, so there is such a scene: people with work arrangements, with materials by their side, While guarding the supplies, they worked, while those who did not have a work arrangement simply did not go out and guarded their supplies.

Xie Tian and Song Hui privately discussed the situation of this theft, because Xie Tian asked Li Yang to install the useless monitoring in the security area on the periphery and the cooling tower, so the monitoring in the dormitory building was almost removed, and there were no valuable clues, and Song Hui also went to the scene of the dormitory where the incident occurred, because it was summer, so when they slept, they opened the window, but the door was closed, and the door of the dormitory did not have any traces of being pried open, but on the window sill, a suspicious point was found, and the eaves of the plastic steel window were found, there are faint marks drawn by the fingertips, and it is almost extremely difficult to find without looking closely.

This can prove that the thief came in through the window through the eaves, but there are not many objects to climb on the back side of the building, Song Hui said after looking at it: "This person's skills are at least not simple, don't look at the third floor, but if you want to climb up from the basically bare back, it is difficult to do without two brushes, and no footprints were found, it can be seen that this person is very cautious." ”

"." Xie Tian scolded and said, "There are only a few faint scratches as clues, so you can't find the culprit at all, in case this matter is not resolved, the negative impact will be too great!" ”

Liu Mu opened his mouth and said, "Why don't we search it, search all the dormitories and rooms, and see if we can find those supplies." ”

"Stop dreaming." Song Hui shook his head and said, "The other party even took into account the shoe prints, how could he be stupid enough to bring the supplies back to the dormitory?" What's more, there are other roommates in the dormitory, aren't they afraid of being discovered? ”

"It could be a gang." Liu Mu said: "Maybe it's the collusion of the whole dormitory. ”

"This possible surname also exists." Xie Tian said: "But in this way, we have no clues to check, and we can't even find eyewitnesses, and I also support Lao Song's opinion, whether it is an individual or a gang, they will not be stupid enough to put the supplies in the dormitory." ”

Song Hui sighed and said, "Otherwise, I'll ask everyone in that building carefully, see what details are overlooked, and then see if I can find any clues from other people." ”

"Yes." Xie Tian nodded and said, "However, I have a better way." ”

"What's the solution?" The two immediately asked.

Xie Tiandao: "I also came to the conclusion when I just discussed that the other party would not hide the materials in the dormitory, assuming that the other party really did not hide the materials in the dormitory, then he would never hide the materials too far, in short, the materials are definitely still hidden in a corner of the power plant." ”

"That's right!" Song Hui nodded and said: "It must be the case, there are patrolling soldiers near the outer wall, they will never take this risk, and the power plant is very large, and there are countless places where you can hide that little bit of material very hidden, so the materials must still be in the power plant." ”

Xie Tian said lightly: "Since what is stolen is food and materials, then the thief will definitely find a way to get it, he may not take the materials back, but at least he will find a place to quietly consume the materials, after all, he is to be able to eat these materials to steal, assuming that he hides the materials in a place, then when he wants to consume these materials, he will definitely return to the place where the materials are hidden, as long as we hide in the dark for the past two days and keep a strict watch, I think it won't be long before he will show his feet." ”

"That's it." Xie Tian said: "The wind is the tightest in the past two days, I think the other party will definitely not touch those materials, let's wait for two more days, two days later, I will take out thirty kilograms of materials, give it to the woman, and then announce to the public that the thief has privately surrendered to me, and at the same time return all the materials, I read that he is a first offender, so I will no longer pursue it, and no longer publish his name." ”

Song Hui nodded and smiled: "In this way, the real thief will think that we are forced to lie because we can't find him at all, and we are afraid that the impact of this incident will be too bad, and want to calm down this matter, at that time, he will definitely let down his guard and think that the limelight has passed." ”

"Yes!" Xie Tian nodded and said, "That's it, Lao Song, you, Lao Liu, Ma Jicheng, Zhu Jinxi, the four of you, starting tonight, will quietly keep an eye on the dormitory building to prevent him from being bold and daring to pick up supplies without waiting for the rumors to pass." ”

"Good!"

That night, Song Hui and Liu Mu and other four people did not sleep all night, but unfortunately, throughout the night, there was no suspicious person in the dormitory building to go out, it seems that that person really lived according to his patience, but this night, the other people in the dormitory building were worried, and the doors and windows of each room were closed to prevent the loss of materials.

Xie Tian suddenly thought of his original economic plan, and now, is it just the right time to take this opportunity to implement this plan?

Xie Tian asked everyone to go to the first floor of the cafeteria for a meeting through a loudspeaker, and this time, basically like ants moving, the survivors each carried a large bag and a small bag, carrying all their useful supplies with them, as if they were going to travel.

Xie Tian asked helplessly, "You guys aren't so scared, are you?" I've called everyone except the soldiers on duty, are you still afraid that the ghosts will steal your supplies? ”

A woman hugged a black cloth bag and said, "Even if everyone comes, there are front and back, what if we just walk with our front foot, and the thing on our back foot is stolen?" In addition, Leader Xie, I don't like to say anything, the thief the night before yesterday was so elusive, whether it was us survivors or soldiers of the army, it was all suspicious, what if the thief was among the soldiers on duty, what should I do? So we still feel more relieved to carry the supplies with us. ”

Xie Tian sighed, I didn't expect these people to be like frightened birds, but think about it, at this time, materials are everything, and the security zone is not capable of providing fixed jobs for everyone, if the materials are lost, and suddenly there are no jobs, then you can only starve.

Xie Tian said: "In response to your concerns about the safety of materials, I have a general solution. ”

"What's the solution?" The person below blurted out.

Xie Tian explained: "Give all your supplies to the safe zone for safekeeping. ”

At this time, there is a lot of discussion below, handing over to the safe zone for safekeeping, no one dares to guarantee whether the safe zone is really just for safekeeping, and some people are even worried that Xie Tian wants to confiscate the materials in this so-called custody method.

Xie Tian said in great detail: "Listen to me first, the custody I said is absolutely fair and safe, there are currently several tons of food in the security zone as a guarantee, the materials you hand over to us for safekeeping, we will convert all the materials into rice to calculate, and then issue a rice ticket as a voucher, once you need to retrieve the materials, you can use the rice ticket to exchange for the actual materials, such as the big sister holding the black cloth bag just now, suppose you have ten catties of rice here, you hand it over to the safe zone for safekeeping, and the safe zone will give you ten catties of rice tickets, It's like the denomination size of the money is different, and the rice ticket can also have a variety of denominations, such as one tael, two taels, half a catty, one catty, five catties, etc., these rice tickets are like the previous RMB, you carry them with you, for example, you need three or two meters today, then you take the three taels of rice tickets to the warehouse in exchange for three or two taels of rice, in this way, isn't it very convenient? ”

"Then how do I know that I exchanged rice for rice tickets, and if you are willing to exchange it for me when I turn back." The woman involuntarily hugged the black cloth bag tightly and muttered.

Xie Tian smiled slightly, and said: "Since everyone entered the security zone, I think you have also seen the policies and actual actions of the security zone, if I really want your supplies, with your personnel and weapons and equipment, it is impossible to defeat so many of my soldiers, it is easy to rob your supplies, can you use so much effort to deceive them?" ”

Everyone fell into thought, Xie Tian said very truthfully, these people are in the security zone, for the security zone and the army, they are absolutely vulnerable, if Xie Tian really wants to get their supplies, it is very easy.

Immediately, a man said, "You only get rice tickets, so how can I count the canned food here?" Do you also give canned tickets? ”

"Nope." Xie Tian waved his hand and said: "Rice ticket, not necessarily a simple measure of the value of rice, on the contrary, it can be a universal currency, in the case of the grain standard, everyone should have discovered that food is the most fundamental hard currency, and now there is nothing in the world that you can't exchange for food, for example, if you want to exchange his hat with the big brother next to you, he will definitely not be happy if you give him money, but if you give him a pound of rice, he will definitely be willing, right?" ”

"I'm Ha'er!" The man said happily: "Take a pound of rice and exchange it with him for a broken hat, I'm not a melon baby." ”

The two sentences amused everyone, and Xie Tian said with a smile: "Of course, I'm just making an analogy and continuing with the topic just now, for example, you have canned food, and you have a pound of canned beef, if I give you a pound of rice, you definitely don't want to change it, right?" ”

"Yes! Which one is willing to change! I'm beef, it's animal protein, who doesn't want to eat meat! ”

Xie Tian smiled: "Then what if I give you three catties of rice?" ”

The man hesitated for a moment and said, "Three catties of rice, in that case, you can consider it." ”

Xie Tian stretched out his hands and said, "Doesn't this solve the problem?" You see, we have formulated an exchange ratio between food, between rice and white flour, 1:1, rice and canned vegetables 1:1.5, although canned vegetables are not as real as rice noodles, but they are also scarce materials, which can supplement vitamins; As for rice and meat, it's 1:3. ”

"If you have two catties of meat, I will exchange it for 6 catties of rice tickets for you, you take it on your body, it is easy to carry, safe and not easy to lose, if you want to eat noodles, come to me to change it for noodles, if you want to eat vegetables, come to me for vegetables, if you want to change it for meat, I will change it for meat for you, and the exchange is still according to that ratio, so that it is not only convenient for you to carry, but also a lot more choice of surname."

"I know what you mean!" The man said excitedly: "You mean to say that the rice bill you made is a banknote, and we people take things to you and sell them to you for banknotes, and then these banknotes can buy other things from you, isn't that what you mean?" ”

"That's right." Xie Tian nodded and said, "That's probably what it means, but you sell it to me, or I sell it to you, it's all according to a fixed percentage, and I don't earn any profits, so I make sure that you won't lose anything between this kind of trading!" ”

At this moment, everyone's discussion was no longer the kind of doubt and panic just now, thank God seeing everyone's faces, he immediately continued: "Not only that, in the future, the number of people in our security zone must be expanding, more and more people, and you also have to make various transactions, for example, if you want someone's bottle of wine, then you can discuss with him, how many rice tickets to exchange for appropriate, this rice ticket is money, is the current currency, in this way, isn't it much more convenient?" ”

"It's really convenient!" Hu Xiaobao blurted out: "Then if we work for the safety zone, won't we directly give the ration of rice anymore?" Do you want to exchange it for a rice ticket payment? ”

"That's right." Xie Tian nodded and said, "It's also more convenient." ”

Du Yuewei suddenly walked out of the crowd, looked at Xie Tian and asked: "If we recognize this kind of rice ticket, it is equivalent to agreeing with your own power to make money, if you print a large number of rice tickets, and you don't have enough rice as a reserve, then this kind of rice ticket will inevitably depreciate, and when we take the rice ticket but can't exchange it for the same amount of rice, then what?" ”

Immediately, without waiting for Xie Tian to speak, Du Yuewei said again: "And! You use rice tickets to pay us for labor, but everyone is very economical, earn back a pound of rice, but are not willing to eat it all, must leave a part, so as not to suddenly lose employment, or other emergencies, if we work hard to accumulate rice tickets, and finally become a pile of waste paper, what should we do? ”

Xie Tian didn't expect Du Yuewei to ask two very sharp questions in a row, and at this time, Du Yuewei said again: "And! After the rice ticket is made, what do you use to ensure anti-counterfeiting? We can exchange rice tickets for hard work, and others can forge a rice ticket to exchange for real rice by scribbling on a piece of paper, so how can our fairness be reflected? ”

Xie Tian suddenly admired the woman in front of him, he smiled slightly, and said, "Don't worry, I have solutions to these." ”
