Siheyuan: The farm in my mind is in your hands.

Chapter 146: Produce more grain and build more warehouses

"Without Prime Minister Wu's order, no one is allowed to open these warehouses without permission, otherwise it will be treated as treason!"

Chen Jianghe didn't show off the food he had just put in there. This was enough food for 13 tons*!

Assuming that each person eats one kilogram of food per day, these thirteen warehouses can feed 25 million people for one day.

There are nearly 8 million registered residents in the 49 cities alone. These warehouses are not enough to supply the daily needs of the entire city...

What's more, China now has a population of hundreds of millions, and these warehouses are far from enough!

He had to go back to discuss with Prime Minister Wu about building more large warehouses.

"Let's go, we can go back and wait for the next instruction from Prime Minister Wu."

Neither Xiao Fang nor the base leader raised any questions. Being obedient and doing as they were told was a basic quality they had developed over the years.

Leaders won’t wait for them to ask before telling them what they need to know.

On the way back, Chen Jianghe asked, "Xiao Fang, how many granaries like this are there in our country?"

He was calculating that if there were such large warehouses all over the country, he could probably go around and visit them.

But in this case, the regions with later schedules will definitely suffer more.

This is not what he wants to see.

"Basically every province has grain storage areas, but there are fewer areas where the environment is not suitable for storing grain.

Leader, I am not afraid of your criticism, but our granaries are all empty, and those down there must not be much better either."

Xiao Fang always speaks directly, without the beating around the bush that people in the workplace usually do, and he immediately shared his experiences.

"So no measures were taken before?"

Chen Jianghe frowned, then felt relieved.

If there is no food even for the central system, how else do you expect to fill the stomachs of the people below?

"In fact, the big leaders are not having a good time either. They can hardly afford to eat anything..."

Xiao Fang, a seven-foot-tall man, actually had tears in his eyes. He was heartbroken.

Even factory workers could eat meat twice a week, but the big leaders almost always had steamed cornbread, pickles, and cornmeal porridge for meals, and fried peanuts were considered a good dish.

Inside and outside the red walls, we will overcome the difficulties together.

"I understand. Our lives will definitely get better and better in the future!"

Chen Jianghe didn't want to continue this topic. The past was gone and people had to look forward to have motivation.

When we returned to the office park, it was already past two in the afternoon.

Chen Jianghe returned to the office and found that Wu Xiang and the old man were both with him.

"It's my turn to report to you two. How can I let you wait for me?"

He quickly made a cup of good tea for each of them, and then began to report on today's work.

After hearing that Warehouse No. 42 was already full of grain, Wu Xiang said excitedly:

"What are we waiting for? Let's start distributing according to our plan.

We will start with a pilot project in the suburbs and countryside, and if the response is good, we will promote it to cities across the country!"

It turned out that when Chen Jianghe and Xiao Fang went to the warehouse.

Wu Xiang has already held an emergency meeting with several members of the team, and the conclusion was to maintain production.

The factory machines cannot be stopped and the workers’ rations must be kept up.

As for rural areas, there is no clear conclusion. It is not that everyone wants to ignore this issue, but they are weighing the pros and cons.

From the time Chen Jianghe showed up yesterday to the time he filled warehouse 13 with No. 42 today, less than 24 hours had passed.

This may be very sudden for them, but for those in the countryside where there is no food, it means one more day and night of hunger.

"So, you've agreed?"

Chen Jianghe didn't expect that the group resolution would be passed so quickly. Now he can let go and do his best!

"Yes, in previous years, the countryside has always supported the city. This year's natural disasters are more serious than ever before. Now it's time for the city to save itself."

The old man, Wu Xiang and several other team members were unable to sleep at night because of the natural disaster. The appearance of Chen Jianghe was undoubtedly a huge surprise.

They are atheists, but what Chen Jianghe can take out from the space is real stuff.

This can only be attributed to the fact that technology in the future will be highly developed, and technology like this mustard seed technology is not impossible to achieve.

"Okay! I'll fill it up after our truck has delivered all the food.

In addition, this one granary in Sijiu City is probably not enough. My idea is that we should build some larger granaries.

We will build as much as we can within our capabilities.”

Chen Jianghe repeated his thoughts on how many people a warehouse could feed, but Wu Xiang and the old man shook their heads after hearing it.

"Comrade Jiang He, you are wrong to calculate this."

Chen Jianghe was puzzled: "One pound of food per person per day is not much, is it going to be reduced?"

Wu Xiang explained: “Since we implemented the distribution system, the monthly ration for urban households is 26 kilograms of grain.

Some workers who do manual labor will have an additional ration of about ten kilograms. The thirteen warehouses you mentioned just now can supply food for twenty million people for one day.

This data should be higher because there is no ration for children and they eat the rations of adults.

Moreover, the permanent population of the city is only about three million.”

The remaining five million are non-urban households and are not included in the calculation...

Chen Jianghe was a little confused. His original intention of doing this was to help those farmers.

Because no matter how difficult life in the city is, it is much better than in the countryside, and there are relatively more opportunities.

"What about the rural areas?" Chen Jianghe asked in a muffled voice.

Only help the cities and give up the rural areas which have a large population base? He can't do it.

"There is land in the countryside that can grow food, but we can't distribute food rations based on the number of people like in the cities..."

Wu Xiang's tone was heavy. It was not that they didn't want to, but China's overall strength did not allow it.

The old man sighed. After all, apart from natural disasters, the foreign debts were the main cause.

But if we hadn't borrowed money in the first place, how could we have the peace in the world today?

The money must be repaid, and the people of our own country cannot be abandoned. Even so, for a period of time, everyone’s life will be much harder.

"Count them all in... We should export more grain and build more warehouses. We must not abandon anyone."

Chen Jianghe said sincerely that since he had food, he could not bear to see anyone starve to death because of lack of food.

"Our country of China has a population of 650 million. Are you sure your space can provide a stable supply?"

The old man couldn't wait to ask.

"Yes! I guarantee it with my character!"

In his previous life, Chen Jianghe was a child who was born under the red flag and grew up wearing a red scarf. He also had pure love!

"I believe you!"

"I believe in you too!"

The two old men present expressed their opinions one after another. Since Chen Jianghe can supply the whole world, not just one city, they must fully support his work!

"..."

Xiao Fang, who had been silent, almost turned purple in the face. Chen Jianghe looked at him curiously.

I saw this man using his big hands like pliers to tightly twist the flesh on his thigh. Judging from the strength of his hands, there must be a large bruise on his leg.

"Hey, Comrade Xiao Fangtong, why do you still have a tendency to self-abuse?"
