The reason why he said that Osena should do the city-wide screening was not to ask the girl to investigate the case.

The profession is not the right one.

In fact, Gu Hang hopes that she can do this by the way in the process of distributing food throughout the city and ensuring people's livelihood.

But in this city-wide sifting, Gu Hang didn't have any great hopes, just by the way.

The main reason is that there is no particularly useful screening method.

The cultist won't ask him if he is, and he will admit it directly.

He also told Osena that this matter was easy to do, and the main task was to ensure people's livelihood.

The army that followed Gu Hang into the city had already controlled a number of grain warehouses.

But at this time, there was bad news first:

There are not enough food reserves in the city.

If you look at the regular consumption of a million people in the city, there are only about fifteen days of stock.

This level of grain reserves is too dangerous for a city that mainly relies on foreign trade grain imports. It's as if the previous coalition government didn't understand the importance of food security at all.

But if you think about it from another angle, it seems to make sense.

After Osena took over the granary, she calculated the consumption of the poor people in the outer city according to the per capita standard of the governor's camp and the ruined cave society; But before that, the coalition authorities may have never been so calculated. They may only regard the 100,000 people in the inner city as decent people, but the poor people in the outer city? Figure it out for yourself.

Of course, in fact, the food supply for the residents of the outer city must still come from these granaries, otherwise how would the people of the outer city live? It doesn't live eight or nine hundred thousand people to really gnaw on the bark.

It's just that the out-of-town residents don't eat as much as the standard population consumption calculated by Osena, and a population of 800,000 to 900,000 may only consume 300,000 to 500,000 people/day/food consumption a day.

On average, only one-third to one-half of food can be eaten each day, and malnutrition is normal. And this is an average, which means that some people from the outer city can eat and drink enough, and some may not eat for two days in a row.

This situation is also consistent with the actual situation of the outer city of Fuxing. Osena had survived in the outer city for a few months, and it was very clear that the life of the residents of the outer city was really like this.

According to this standard, the amount of food in fifteen days can be turned into a reserve of thirty or forty days.

But Osena decided that it couldn't be that way.

She will provide standard portions of food to the population of the outer city of Fuxing.

Otherwise, we will not have enough to eat before the governor comes; The Governor is here, and we still can't get enough to eat...... Didn't the governor come for nothing?

At this stage, the provision of sufficient rations to ensure that everyone is well fed is an important step in establishing the prestige of the Governor.

The people of the inner city were indifferent to the arriving governor?

Then you are indifferent, is it really the era of the previous alliance? Only the people of the inner city are counted as people?

In the long communication between Gu Hang and Osena before, they all made it clear that the greatest wealth of Fuxing City was in the hundreds of thousands of people in the outer city. As long as they support the Governor wholeheartedly, everything else is a paper tiger.

The magnates can be overthrown, the means of production are all confiscated, and Gu Hang does not need their support to complete the rule;

Inner city residents who live a relatively well-off life, regardless of whether you have grievances or not, just do things honestly, and dare to do things blindly and have their own ways to govern them;

Outside the city, the vast number of poor people will have their living conditions improved, and they will live a better life under the mercy of the Governor, and then quickly return to the factories and to work for the cause of the Governor.

Of course, it's not okay to just give out food. In other words, the distribution of food was the basis for solidifying the rule of the governor, and was the price to be paid; On top of the cost, how to get the harvest stably is what is more challenging for Osaina.

Osena clearly knows that just opening a warehouse and releasing grain is not her own ability.

Who can't do it.

She had to pay for the food while making it clear to the inhabitants that it was a favor from the governor. Only in this way can the value of grain release be brought into play.

At the same time, she had to anchor a principle from the very beginning: she couldn't raise people to eat white rice.

She doesn't plan to define this batch of food as simple relief and welfare.

Whether Fuxing City is poor or rich depends on how to judge it. To say rich, it is to treat the people of the inner city as human beings, and they are indeed quite rich, at least by the standards of this wasteland. Their wealth is based on the exploitation of the hundreds of thousands of people in the outer cities.

But now, Osena wants to treat all the eight or nine hundred thousand people in the outer city as human beings, so she has added such a great burden at once.

By such standards, it is impossible to be considered rich.

Fuxing City's current reserves cannot support high welfare.

Osena will give the residents of the outer city a normal life, but all she can give is opportunities and platforms. If they want to really live a good life, they still have to rely on the hard work of their own hands.

This is certainly not as good as the direct distribution of food, but Osena would rather lose a little of the benefits of her kindness to others and ensure that the finances of Fuxing City are on a relatively healthy path.

Moreover, the residents of the outer city must have no shortage of willingness to work hard. Osena, who had lived in the outer city, was completely convinced of this.

In this regard, Osena approximately developed a temporary system.

She would distribute food indiscriminately to the people outside the city, but only for a few days and only a third of the food rations, which would ensure that people did not starve to death.

Want more, need to buy.

The government grain sales window will be opened to sell grain at a parity price and purchase it in limited quantities according to the capitation ration system. Crack down on the behavior of gangsters who buy food and hoard it under the quota of other people.

For a long time to come, the grain industry will become a government industry, and the Governor's Government will make every effort to ensure the stability of food prices. Private individuals are not allowed to get involved in the industry for the time being.

As long as there is a fair and stable way to purchase grain, the basic livelihood of the residents in the outer cities will be guaranteed.

Of course, there are also a considerable number of out-of-town residents who have no savings at all. Recently, because of the war, I didn't have to work, so I stopped talking.

Osena also has matching means.

Next, all the factories, handicrafts, and shops that have been regained control will absorb the working population after they reopen. 'Food stamps' will be settled every day, and they can be exchanged for food directly.

The division of work system, Osena thought about it, and did not promote it in Fuxing City for the time being.

The administrative team she has at hand now, just a dozen or so clerks, really can't promote the implementation of work and replace the existing monetary system.

It will be very turbulent, and it will require stronger administrative capacity and grassroots control to do this.

In fact, even if it is just the work of distributing food and promoting the resumption of work and production, she and her dozen or so people can't handle it.

But luckily, there will be an army to help her.
