Rising: Ten Thousand Years Chapter 376: ：Disease of Xizhou
When we came out of the Quancheng Hotel, the atmosphere became much more lively because everyone drank some wine.
Xun Shifei smiled and said, "Dean Li, let's stay at the State Hotel today. We will leave for Xizhou early tomorrow morning."
"Okay. Then go to bed early."
"Good night."
“…”
After returning to the residence, just after washing, Jia Liping and Yuan Bing walked in hand in hand.
"Sit,"
Li Zhen wiped his hair with some drops of water with a towel, and said casually.
The two of Jia Liping also did not see out, poured water for himself, and then sat there quietly waiting for Li Zhen.
It can be seen that Yuan Bing is a little nervous and apprehensive. He was still holding a document in his hand.
Li Zhen took a sip of tea and asked, "Let's talk."
Yuan Bing said nervously: "Master Li, this is the specific situation in Xizhou, you..."
"I don't watch it. You tell me."
"Yes."
Yuan Bing cleared his throat and said, "Xizhou has a total population of 42 million. The annual fiscal revenue converted into gold certificates is 50 million. Among them, 30 million is used for infrastructure construction. The balance is two Ten million, of which ten million was turned over to the state treasury. Only ten million was used by Xizhou finance.”
Li Zhen nodded: "How much money can be used in Dongzhou for a year?"
"Dongzhou has 260 million available funds a year."
Li Zhen asked again: "What about Nanzhou?"
Jia Liping answered: "Nanzhou is 120 million a year."
Li Zhen sighed: "Xizhou, poor."
"Yeah. Poor."
Jia Liping and Yuan Bing also followed suit.
It can't be helped.
Western State has no output.
There is no tourism industry, no convenient transportation. The land suitable for planting is also limited, and the phenomenon of desertification is even more serious than that in the southeast state.
This is a major factor in the poverty of Western State.
Li Zhen asked: "So how much grain does Xizhou produce in a year now?"
"The total annual grain output of Xizhou is 90 million kilograms."
Li Zhen frowned: "The population is more than 40 million, and the annual grain production is 90 million kilograms. This is not enough."
"Yes. So the annual funds of Western States are actually mostly used to import food from other states."
Li Zhen pondered for a while and said:
"This is a vicious circle. If this continues, Xizhou will become poorer and poorer, and all the money will be used to buy food. It will not make ends meet, and the industry will not be developed enough."
"Yes, who said no?"
"Some time ago, Xizhou tried to imitate Dongzhou's industrialization, but failed."
Li Zhen asked: "What is the reason for the failure?"
"The reason for the failure is that the purchase of gold coupons is too small."
Li Zhen was confused: "What's the situation?"
"Mr. Li may not understand the specific situation in Xizhou. Generally speaking, he accepts food but not money. Whether it is Kyushu currency or the 10,000-year gold coupon that is vigorously promoted, in fact, it is somewhat unworkable in Xizhou The common people cannot eat enough, food cannot be bought in the market, or the price of food is extremely high, and the currency is just a piece of paper.”
Jia Liping calmly analyzed: "There are even more unscrupulous capitalists who buy a large amount of grain from rich lands and transfer it to Xizhou to double the sales. Reselling grain in this way makes Xizhou obviously short of grain, but the price of grain is at a high level in the whole country. It’s an extremely high phenomenon.”
Li Zhen took a sip of tea and said: "Controlling capitalists from reselling grain, and dealing with this problem is to treat the symptoms, not the root cause. This time Yuan Bing chose to conduct a pilot project in Xizhou to sow hybrid rice in an all-round way. The place is very good. Only let Xizhou The state is free from poverty and hunger. Other problems will be solved. Get rid of hunger first, and then industrialize when the purchasing power of currency rises. Xizhou will take advantage of the trend. As for the transportation problem, it is the overall layout of the country, but there is no need to think about it now .”
"That's right, Mr. Li. Therefore, this visit to Xizhou is a very important opportunity. We need to have a deep understanding of the people's sentiments in Xizhou, and we must visit the grassroots in depth, so that we can know what we know. Only in this way can we fully understand the situation in Xizhou Start the food replacement plan. The most important issue, I think, is to solve the distrust of the people.”
Li Zhen asked: "How do you say that?"
Yuan Bing frowned and said: "Farmers with grain fields in Xizhou regard the grain fields as their lifeblood. They are used to sowing the old rice, and they keep seeds at home every year, and continue to grow rice the next year. Sowing seeds. It's hard to accept a new kind of rice for them to plant."
"Why?"
"Because of cognitive problems. If they sow new rice, they feel that they are taking risks. If the next year is not successful, or if the yield is less than before, then the whole family will suffer. Accept the new Things have to take risks, but with old things, it can be the same as in previous years."
Jia Liping answered: "The government's question is of course just a sentence. The key depends on the attitude of the people. If they accept the hybrid rice, then next year's Xizhou will be another Xizhou. If they don't accept it, then there is nothing they can do. Ah."
Li Zhen nodded, he somewhat understood the thoughts of the common people in Xizhou.
It cannot be said that this is a wrong idea.
It's just that what they have now is too precious to them, and they dare not take risks to accept new things. Who knows what the new stuff will be like?
Li Zhen was a little worried. I was afraid that everything would be ready by then. As a result, when it was time to sow, most ordinary people violated the policy and secretly planted the old rice.
This kind of problem is very difficult to eliminate.
The government's pressure on the people is pressure. There are policies on the top, and countermeasures on the bottom. Some ordinary people just want to sing against you, Mingli promises you, accepts the seeds you provide ~IndoMTL.com~ But when sowing, they secretly plant the old seeds in the ground, who knows?
When the harvest comes, the truth will be revealed. But by then it will be too late.
Li Zhen rubbed his temples with a headache: "Let's do it tonight."
"Master Li, take your leave."
“…”
The next day, early in the morning. Li Zhen woke up from his sleep, still reminiscing about the scene where Zhang Zhi made out with him.
There was a knock on the door, "Mr. Li, it's time to leave."
"Got it."
“…”
After washing up, Li Zhen walked out of the room. Dozens of people had been waiting quietly outside the door for a long time.
Surrounded by Li Zhen, they entered the dining room and had a sumptuous breakfast. A few black cars arrived downstairs, and Xun Shifei walked up in high spirits: "Dean Li, are you ready?"
Li Zhen finished a mouthful of millet porridge, wiped his mouth and said, "Let's go."
Xun Shifei and Li Zhen walked side by side, a little behind half a step, and said as they walked down: "This time we are going to split into two groups."
"Why are the soldiers divided into two groups?"
"Because there are a lot of people going this time, and there are a lot of things that need to be carried. For safety reasons, some people will go to Xizhou by land. And I wait, take the airship and go first. Dean Li is going to take the How many people take the airship? It’s not good if there are too many airships. This time, there are a total of 20 airships, only 10 are for people, and the other 10 are for backup, carrying supplies, etc. After all, the country’s travel is out of safety considerations. There are still many factors."
"Understand understand."
Turning his head, Li Zhen said: "Li Ping and Yuan Bing come with me, and Qi Lengzi also follows. Ding Zhenzhen, you take the rest of the people on land."
"Yes, Master Li."
