Chapter 599: What Else Are You Planting?

This is not a trivial matter, but a major event related to the life and death of more than 1 million people.

The northwest of Shanxi Province originally produced not much grain, and more than 1 million people were counting on the autumn grain to save their lives, and now the devil took away or destroyed all the autumn grain.

To put it mildly, more than 1 million people will go hungry.

At worst, more than 1 million people will starve to death.

In this era of war, human life is like a mustard, and it is the norm for people to starve to death in large areas.

But.

Seeing so many ordinary people being starved to death, everyone's hearts were very uncomfortable.

In addition, these ordinary people have no food to eat, and the development of the Independent Regiment and the New Second Regiment will also be greatly affected.

However, the common people in the defense area of the new regiment have already finished harvesting the autumn grain, and the new regiment does not want the common people to pay taxes, so there is no problem at all for the hundreds of thousands of ordinary people in the area under the jurisdiction of the new regiment to hold on until next year.

"That's a problem."

Li Yunlong nodded, and his expression also showed a touch of solemnity.

Before the war, he and Zhao Gang had considered this problem, but at that time, the Japanese army was about to attack, so they could only wait for the battle to end.

Now that the battle is over, it's time to think about it.

As a farmer, Li Yunlong, needless to say, also knows that there must be many ordinary people who have gone to northern Shaanxi who have not eaten the last meal now.

"I have a proposal."

Looking at Li Yunlong, Xing Zhiguo, Kong Jie and Ding Wei, who were frowning, Chen Feng, who had not spoken much, put down his chopsticks and said.

"Advisor Chen, do you have a way?"

Li Yunlong looked at Chen Feng and asked hurriedly.

Chen Feng said: "In the past few years, I have stored some grain in overseas military bases, which is enough for more than 1 million people to eat for a year. ”

Only then did everyone react, and there was a big boss beside them.

Not only are the weapons and ammunition sold in 1,000 tons, but even the grain sold is calculated in 1,000 tons.

Li Yunlong, Ding Wei and others, their eyes quickly lit up.

Li Yunlong asked, "Consultant Chen, if we want to exchange grain from you, what is the specific price?" ”

Although the three regiments in the northwest of Shanxi Province guarded the Tongpu railway and highway, they were able to rob some grain from the communication line, but it was a drop in the bucket.

And the devil is not stupid, knowing that you are short of grain in the northwest of Shanxi, you will definitely not transport grain from this line, or only a little grain at a time.

But it's different to do business from Boss Chen in exchange for food, as long as you kill devils, you can get food, and the price is clearly marked.

What's more, Boss Chen never defaults on his wages, and he always delivers to his door.

Regarding this point, Grand Master Li has always felt that Boss Chen is very good.

Xing Zhiguo, Kong Jie and Ding Wei also looked at Chen Feng with expectant eyes.

"How much does it ...... price?"

Chen Feng groaned: "I have two kinds of grains here, fine grains and coarse grains, fine grains are white flour and rice, which can be calculated according to the price of killing a devil in one ton." ”

"What about coarse grains?" Li Yunlong's expression was slightly happy, and he hurriedly asked, "What price?" ”

"Coarse grains are grains such as barley, millet and corn." Chen Feng said, "The price of coarse grains can be calculated according to the price of killing a devil for two tons. ”

"It's cheap!"

Kong Jie's face turned into a chrysanthemum with a smile.

Ding Wei, Li Yunlong and Xing Zhiguo were even more smiling.

At this price, what kind of land are you going to plant?

Killing a devil can get a ton of fine grain, or two tons of coarse grain, isn't this much more damn cost-effective than farming?

The land in the northwest of Shanxi Province is barren, the family guards a few acres of land, gets up early and works in the dark, sleeps later than the dog and gets up earlier than the chicken, the sweat of the year is dry, and the harvest is only a few hundred catties of grain.

And now if you kill a devil, you can get 4,000 catties of coarse grain or 2,000 catties of fine grain.

"So, what does Advisor Chen mean ......" Xing Zhiguo said, "The devils eliminated by the New Second Regiment and the Independent Regiment this time can be exchanged at this price to solve the urgent need of the people in the northwest of Jin Province to eat?" ”

"That's right!" Chen Feng nodded and said, "That's what I meant." ”

As soon as Boss Chen said this, Ding Wei, Kong Jie and Li Yunlong suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

If Boss Chen asks them to lead their troops to kill the devils again, it will still be a little difficult to deal with the current state of the three regiments.

The combined combat effectiveness of the three regiments is still there, and it is very strong, but after fighting with the devils for more than half a month, the casualties of each regiment are not small, and the soldiers are also relatively tired, so it is best to rest for a while now.

"The total population of the people in northern Shaanxi this time is about 1 million, and according to the calculation that each person needs 1 kilogram of grain per day, a total of 365 million kilograms of grain are needed 365 days a year."

Ding Wei asked people to take an abacus to calculate the amount of grain needed in the northwest of Jinxi at present.

Of course, the northwest of Shanxi Province cannot produce so much grain, and every ordinary person can eat half a catty of coarse grain every day.

"Our two regiments, the number of devils killed this time is about 16,000, and all of them will be replaced with coarse grains, that is, 32,000 tons of coarse grains......"

"That's 64 million catties of grain."

Ding Wei counted them one by one and found that there was still a long way to go to feed so many ordinary people.

Kong Jie said: "Every ordinary person can only eat half a catty of coarse grain every day, although they can't eat enough, they won't starve to death." ”

Ding Wei said: "That also needs more than 180 million catties of grain, which is far from enough." ”

"The 16,000 are the total casualties." Chen Feng reminded, "Some of them were wounded, not killed. ”

Ding Wei said: "That's even more insufficient. ”

Li Yunlong said: "The troops of our new regiment completely annihilated the 1st Division's Devil Infantry Wing and a heavy artillery wing in Miaoergou, and this heavy artillery wing was replaced by 26 Spitfire tanks and 8 Father's Hammers. ”

"This devil infantry wing is about 3,800 people, and it is all annihilated, I originally wanted to change it to American weapons and equipment, and it can all be exchanged for food."

Xing Zhiguo also said: "On the battlefield of Xinzhou, our new regiment defeated the 39th Wing of the 10th Division of the Japanese Army and the 13th Wing of the Army Tank, which should also be considered business, right?" ”

Chen Feng nodded: "The infantry wing and the chariot wing that defeated the devil must be considered business." ”

Although in the Battle of Xinzhou, more than 80 devil planes and an artillery wing were also killed, but they were all killed by Boss Chen's planes, so they were not included in the business.

After a pause, Chen Feng looked at Li Yunlong again and said: "This can be a long-term business, if your regiment wants to exchange food in the future, you can ask me to exchange it at any time, the price of killing a devil in a second-line division is 1 ton of fine grain or 2 tons of coarse grain, and killing a devil in a first-line division is twice as much as that of a second-line division devil." ”
