In the Blink of an Eye, the Warehouse Was Filled!
Tie Ning looked at Yang Jianguo in confusion."
"It won't be free soon?"
Yang Jianguo didn't answer him. He pointed at the huge warehouses and asked,"
"Comrade Tie Ning, please tell me what these warehouses represent.”
Tie Ning immediately got into character and introduced them one by one.
"These warehouses are used to store food.”
He took out a key and opened one.
"For example, this is for brown rice.”
"A considerable number of comrades in the South China Sea are southerners. They are not used to eating noodles, so we have to provide them with rice.”
"It's just that under the great disaster, no one can eat their fill. We can only choose some brown rice that is slightly better in quality.”
Yang Jianguo nodded slightly.
It was actually easy to turn brown rice into polished rice. It was enough to add one more step of fine grinding.
However, a portion of it would be lost. Under such a natural disaster, a grain of food was still a grain of food. Not a single bit could be wasted!
So what if it was the officers from South China Sea? He still had to eat brown rice.
Of course, the brown rice they ate was slightly more exquisite.
Yang Jianguo glanced at the warehouse and nodded slightly. He knew what to do.
This was a warehouse that was six meters tall and about 120 square meters.
Yang Jianguo walked out with the two of them, deliberately falling behind them and slowly closing the door.
He said to Tie Ning,
"Alright, there are 900 tons of rice in this warehouse!”
"Let's see the next one."
Tie Ning nodded. Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly felt that something was wrong.
"Comrade Yang Jianguo, this is an empty warehouse!”
Yang Jianguo smiled and opened the door again.
"Minister Wu, comrade Tie Ning, please take a look!”
Minister Wu and Tie Ning looked over, and their eyes immediately widened---the warehouse that was empty just now was actually filled with densely packed bags!
The two of them quickly jogged over and touched this place and looked over there. Their mouths were wide open.
Yang Jianguo explained,"
"These bags are all woven straw bags, and they are all filled with polished rice.”
"Each bag of rice weighs 50 catties. There are 36,000 bags of rice here.”
"That's 900 tons of rice!"
Tie Ning looked at Yang Jianguo, then at Minister Wu. He still could not believe it. He reached out and opened a bag. It was actually a long, white rice that was so white that it could dazzle people's eyes!
As the person-in-charge of the supply and demand department of No. 34, Tie Ning could tell the origin of the rice at a glance.
" Wuchang Rice of the Northern Borderline?!"
Yang Jianguo gave him a thumbs up.
"Good eyesight!"
Minister Wu quickly asked Yang Jianguo,"
"Are all these woven bags?"
Yang Jianguo nodded."
"Yes, sir!"
"I've calculated. If one person eats one catty a day, these 900 tons of rice can feed two million people a day.”
"This is not enough. The population of our Imperial City alone is less than eight million people.”
"In other words, if we want to supply the capital with food for a year, we need another 120 of these warehouses!”
The more Yang Jianguo spoke, the more he frowned.
"However, people can't just eat staple food and not eat vegetables, right? We also have to prepare the corresponding vegetables…"
Minister Wu hurriedly interrupted him,
"My good comrade, you are wrong.”
Yang Jianguo was puzzled.
"Why is it wrong?"
Minister Wu explained,"
"We are now implementing a rationing system. For example, my monthly rations are only twenty-six catties.”
"All the people in the Imperial Capital have such a quota.”
"Of course, heavy manual workers will have a higher quota, about ten pounds more per month.”
"After all, if you don't eat enough, you won't have the strength to work.”
Yang Jianguo frowned."
"That's not enough!"
Minister Wu smiled bitterly and said,"
"There are two problems here. Children usually don't have a quota. They eat adult rations.”
Yang Jianguo was stunned.
Minister Wu said again:
"One more thing. The eight million you mentioned includes all the people.”
"There are only three million permanent residents in the capital.”
Yang Jianguo was enlightened."
" Isn't there any statistics for the rural areas?"
Minister Wu shook his head heavily:
"No…"
"The peasants have land. They can't be distributed according to the number of people in the city, right?”
Yang Jianguo said in a muffled voice,"
"Let's include them."
"I heard that the poor in developed areas have a better standard of living than the rich in backward areas, except for the super rich!”
Minister Wu's eyes lit up:
"Can you guarantee a stable supply?"
Yang Jianguo nodded solemnly."
"Yes!"
Minister Wu was just about to speak when he suddenly heard a " Pa!”.
Yang Jianguo took a step forward and blocked in front of Minister Wu. He turned his head and was dumbfounded. Tie Ning had actually slapped him hard.
This palm strike was really forceful, and Tie Ning's cheeks immediately puffed up.
There were five bright red handprints on his face.
Just as Yang Jianguo and Minister Wu were puzzled, Tie Ning spoke. He muttered to himself,
"It hurts!"
" This isn't a dream?!"
Tie Ning suddenly stood up and shouted,
"This is not a dream!"
"This is food!"
His eyes were full of tears, but his expression was happy.
Tie Ning shouted,
"We have food!"
Yang Jianguo looked at him silently. Suddenly, he stepped forward and put his arm around his old comrade's shoulder.
"Comrade Tie Ning, this is not a dream. We really have food!”
Tie Ning hugged Yang Jianguo, and the iron-built man burst into tears!
Yang Jianguo gently patted Tie Ning's shoulder and said to himself in his heart,
"Since I came to this world, I will not let the people of the Great Han Dynasty starve!”
Wu Xiang and Tie Ning cried for a while before coming to his side and saying,
"Comrade Tie Ning, Comrade Yang Jianguo has incredible power. This is the top secret of the organization.”
Tie Ning immediately stopped crying and stood still. He solemnly promised Minister Wu,"
"Minister Wu, don't worry. I promise that even if I have to pay with my own life, I won't let Yang Jianguo suffer any harm!”
Minister Wu corrected him:
"What I mean is that you have to ensure that Yang Jianguo's secret is not leaked!”
Tie Ning roared,
"Minister Wu, don't worry. I swear to the organization that I will strictly complete the task given to me by the leader!”
"We are determined to protect the organization's biggest secret!”
Yang Jianguo stretched out his hands, and Tie Ning quickly held them tightly.
"Comrade Tie Ning, we will be partners from now on.”
Tie Ning said resolutely,
"Comrade Jianguo, I am your most loyal shield!”
Yang Jianguo corrected him,"
"We still have to build the Great Han!"
Both of their hands were tightly clenched.
Yang Jianguo asked,"
"Is Xidan's warehouse our biggest warehouse?”
Tie Ning said,
"This is indeed our largest warehouse, but it's not the largest granary in the capital.”
"The largest granary in the Imperial Capital can store 270 million tons of grain at a time.”
"Our place is much inferior. We can only store 10,000 tons of food.”
Yang Jianguo's eyes flashed."
"It doesn't matter if the capacity is insufficient.”
Minister Wu hurriedly asked:
"What do you plan to do?"
