Qilu Starry Sky

Chapter 31 New Years
The New Year will be celebrated on January 1th of this year, and now it is January 19rd. Large-scale migration has officially begun. As trains and ferries bring people here one after another, the regional population begins to skyrocket. This area itself is a densely populated area, and coupled with the arrival of new immigrants, the entire Asian region is probably home to nearly 1 billion people.

Of course, this is not the carrying limit of Asia, but the problem is that it is already the carrying limit of the imperial court, because suddenly there are almost 15 to [-] billion more mouths to eat, and it is impossible for them to enter war-torn areas, so in the past few days, The price of food began to skyrocket, and as food prices skyrocketed, a series of chain reactions began to occur.

Just as Wang Yufei expected, the economic collapse officially kicked off.

Among them, the price of vegetables, rice and noodles has increased nearly fifteen times, and there is a trend of price increase. Yesterday, an egg cost only 12 cents, and today it has risen to 15 yuan. This was still the price in the morning, and in the afternoon it was close to [-] yuan. .

Affected by food prices, the prices of cloth, non-staple food, and industrial materials have also entered a linear rise. It is said that a steamed bun in Haijing already costs 50 yuan.

When he got up in the morning, County Magistrate Gao learned the news immediately. He sat on the edge of the bed and sighed, feeling helpless and lucky at the same time, because he had made preparations in advance after listening to Wang Yufei's words, and Today is his time to take charge of the overall situation.

He hurriedly got dressed and came to the office building, and then immediately held a meeting to make arrangements for the current situation. The first stage was to put the previously hoarded materials on the market, and the second stage was to support people to use their money to go to offices in the town. The lobby uses local proof of residence to exchange tokens, which can be spent in the town and are not affected by inflation.

This is to prevent other counties and cities from coming here to purchase goods. Temporarily sealing circulating currency for transactions can greatly alleviate regional circulation pressure.

These two policies were quickly implemented, and a large number of people lined up to exchange tokens. At the same time, a large amount of meat, eggs, and vegetables were transported from Liaoyuan Township. These were all grains and vegetables grown using Wang Yufei's 21111 project. Now The village already has a planting base of [-] acres. Although it cannot meet all the needs of the small county, it can at least alleviate some of the urgent needs. Now the town has directly approved a [-]-acre farm project for the village, allowing them to Meet the needs as much as possible.

Because of the issuance of tokens, prices have been barely stable within this small range, but this is not a long-term solution after all. If the outside world continues to collapse, a large number of refugees will inevitably flow into the county, and this will have a negative impact on the county. There was a huge impact on the county.

After the meeting, County Magistrate Gao dialed Wang Yufei's phone: "Brother Wang, you really got it right. I have arranged it as you said. What should I do next?"

"Gaoxian, do you believe what I say?"

County Magistrate Gao was still wondering why Wang Yufei suddenly said this, so he asked with confusion: "Xin, why did I suddenly say this?"

"Let everyone in the county who can hold a gun pick up a gun, set up outposts around the county in accordance with wartime standards, pull up barbed wire, and absolutely not let anyone in or out unless necessary." Wang Yufei said seriously: "This crisis is not what we are facing now. We can take care of everything at this stage, and ensuring the stability of a county is the limit of what we can do.”

"I understand, I'll make arrangements right now. Brother Wang, if you have any backup plans, tell me so that I can feel at ease."

Wang Yufei also sighed after hearing this: "Gaoxian, you treat me as a god... I am only a man in his twenties, and I really have no other options. Now I am trying to find a way to recruit people from several surrounding towns." Get a group of people to farm the land and ensure as much supplies as possible. But we have to make an agreement first. I can take the money from the county, but the farm cannot withstand several rounds of losses, so you have to worry about this."

"Okay, I see."

County Magistrate Gao also sighed silently when he hung up the phone. Thinking carefully about Wang Yufei's words, there is actually some truth to it. It is already remarkable that a young man in his twenties can do this. As for the farm's supplies, it is definitely It's impossible to have an unlimited supply, but the county really doesn't have much to offer right now.

At this moment, Gaoxian suddenly had an idea and quickly called Wang Yufei: "Brother Wang, you also know the situation in the county now. I can't pay for the goods on the farm for a while. Make up for it, otherwise, is the East Lake next to that side? I will just give East Lake to the farm, [-] acres of lake area and [-] acres of mountain forest."

Wang Yufei raised his eyebrows after hearing this. These 15 acres are fertile land. East Lake is still very rich in aquatic resources. It connects the Songjiang River and the Nenjiang River, and is surrounded by black soil that can produce oil. When my sister went for a walk with him by the lake, she was envious of this fertile land and drooled with envy. She said that if she could settle down here, she would never starve to death even if she just watched the weather and ate.

And the mountain forest next to it is even more precious than East Lake. The reserves of rare earths in it are astonishing. Not only that, the thick humus layer is a huge amount of money in this era. You must know that the Hengshan ship uses an equal volume of natural humus soil to exchange for Come on, the alien Taijun’s favorite resource is this.

Of course, Wang Yufei would never sell humus like the imperial court. In Sister Hong’s words, when she heard that the imperial court was using land to do business with the alien prince, she cried all night because of the water. Hetu is not only a difficult-to-renew resource, but also the most important means of production. Although it was not very good on earth before, it is worth a lot of money to the alien Taijun.

According to the news that Wang Yufei asked 2πr to pull out, in the Zhuomen Galaxy, because their galaxy is a low-temperature planet, the soil is almost all permafrost. A pot of humus soil transported from the earth plus a potted soybean seedling It can be sold for more than 3000 star coins, and what is the purchasing power of more than 3000 star coins? Let’s put it this way. Before the slave centralization system was abolished on Zhuomen five years ago, a 16-year-old girl slave was worth 800 to 1500 star coins. The price of a pot of humus soil is enough for 2-4 16-year-old slaves with good looks and no harm.

Some people will say, people's technology is so advanced, why does this soil still have to be like this or that? Wouldn't it be better to synthesize it?Then Wang Yufei could only sigh. Even though the land is inconspicuous, its composition is so complex and its content is so rich that even in their time, they could only restore 100% of the soil, because the soil not only contains various There are various trace components and flora that can be aggregated into communities in various regions after hundreds of millions of years. The value of soil is not the soil itself, but the value of the life nurtured by the soil.

And this large area of ​​extremely valuable mountains, forests, waters and land is much more important to the village than money.Of course Wang Yufei agreed to the proposal, and after hanging up the phone he found Sister Hong.

"Which one do you listen to, good news or bad news?"

Sister Hong was currently counting the inventory with a notebook. Although it was winter, she was so busy that she was sweating. After hearing Wang Yufei's words, she stood up straight and blinked a few times quickly: "Ah ?”

"No, just tell me which news you want to hear first."

Sister Hong thought for a while: "Let's hear the bad news first."

Wang Yufei sat on the metal material next to him and smiled: "The county may not be able to pay for the farm's goods. They can't afford the money."

Sister Hong's expression immediately changed at that moment, but she seemed to be used to Wang Yufei's way of speaking, so she quickly asked: "What about the good news?"

"Ah? I thought you would ask what to do if you don't give me the money."

Upon hearing this, Sister Hong laughed and scolded: "I know you like to tease me the most, so tell me!"

“The county said it couldn’t pay the farm’s IOU, so it allocated a total of 15 acres of land around East Lake, including the mountains, to the farm.”

"real!!!???"

Sister Hong jumped up when she heard this. At this moment, she looked exactly like the little girl who had just turned 20. She was so excited that her face turned red: "Are you kidding me?"

"Of course not." Wang Yufei exclaimed: "This is a good deal. You know how fertile the land in East Lake is."

Sister Hong was so excited that she couldn't say anything, so she was just circling back and forth.This kind of excitement may not be felt by city people, but although Sister Hong also does guerrilla work, she is still a country girl in essence, and her love for the land is rooted in her bones.

That land is like paradise to a person who has been working with crops since he was sensible.

Fertile land, abundant water sources, and lush mountains and forests are the best gifts and rewards for hard workers. This is probably the best news she has heard during this time.

"What am I talking about? Where there is a crisis, there must be an opportunity. Strong people never complain about the environment." Wang Yufei sat there and swayed his legs: "Come on, come on, stop wandering around, smile and see me."

Sister Hong rolled her eyes at him: "I have thought about the question you asked me yesterday. I want to do something."

"That's fine, I won't leave." Wang Yufei jumped down from the pile of materials: "If you don't leave, then we will start the second phase of the work plan."

The crisis in the county is still there, but it is much better than other places. No matter what, many people will not be able to live well this year. And if there are no accidents, by the time spring plowing begins, the scope of this crisis will still be even greater. Expansion is likely to create a wave of refugees.

At this time, the southwest region has officially joined the process of rebelling against the imperial court. The first batch of 22 rocket cars from Wang Yufei's side has been shipped out by sea, and what these rocket cars have been replaced with ammunition makes people laugh. This 22 rocket vehicles and [-] rockets will be exchanged for [-] tons of various fruits, aquatic products and rice from the southwestern warlords.
