Siheyuan: I earned foreign exchange in the heyday

Chapter 706: Jin

"Okay, what's the point of making threats here? We still have to solve the case.

Moreover, it was a case that left people speechless and with solid evidence.

Let Chief Ruan take action immediately and first count how many fake grain coupons each grain station has received.

Only in this way can you know where to investigate. Otherwise, the huge city of Sijiu.

You can't investigate every grain station, right?"

Looking at Li Chenglin's leaving back, Chen Changan no longer had a smile on his face.

In later generations, many people think that food is nothing and can be bought in any supermarket.

However, grain has been an important strategic material since ancient times.

If you just check, there are tens of thousands of kilograms of grain. If you really look carefully in the past few years, there will definitely be more than this.

If it were just one person, it would be impossible to get so much food because there was no food at home.

This kind of thing must be done secretly. At least if it was Chen Changan himself, it would definitely be like this.

Looking at the brewed Wuyishan Dahongpao on the table, Chen Changan took a sip.

I don't know whether I made a loss or a profit in exchange for these few ounces of tea.

It's just a matter of offending people. I have offended quite a few people myself, so why should I be afraid of him?

After get off work, Chen Changan found Li Chenglin.

"If you have nothing to do at night, go to the pigeon market or the black market.

See if there are any people selling food and what the price is. Try to find out how much food they have.

I think that they used fake food coupons to exchange for so much food that they definitely couldn't eat it all.

It is very likely that they are sold on the pigeon market or the black market.

In the end, we may have to go to the black market to arrest people. While there is still time, go to the black market to learn more about the situation."

The next day, Chen Changan was drinking tea in the office and listening to Li Chenglin's report.

There are not many people buying and selling grain in Pigeon Market, and the grains are mainly coarse grains.

Most of them are eggs from rural homes, which are exchanged for some money at the pigeon market.

Or they could take some things grown in their own private plots to the city to exchange for other things.

Although these things are not allowed on the surface, the authorities also turn a blind eye to them.

In fact, many families in the old city could not get enough food.

The main reason is that the children’s household registration should follow the mother.

If the mother has a rural household registration, the child will also have a rural household registration, so they cannot get the rationed food.

In desperation, they had to replace the fine grains at home with coarse grains.

In this way, the total amount of food will increase and the family can have enough to eat.

Compared with the pigeon market, the black market is the government's main target.

The information Li Chenglin received was that there had been no shortage of food on the black market since the three-year natural disaster.

The more food was in short supply, the higher the price of food on the black market. In the most difficult years, people didn't charge money. They only wanted gold.

This is the old city, and there are many old people and young people from the Qing Dynasty, and their families are well-off.

People can still afford to eat even if they exchange gold for food, and not only can they afford to eat, but they can also eat fine food.

Hearing this, Chen Changan further confirmed his guess.

In the year of great disaster, the whole country was out of food, and the grain supply to the entire city was halved and then halved again.

At this time, the black market can still continuously supply food. Just think about it and you will know why.

I'm afraid the issue of fake food coupons did not start in recent years.

“Can we find out where their food is shipped from?

Or where are their warehouses where they store their food?"

Li Chenglin thought for a while and said.

“It’s a bit difficult. I think the guards in the black market all have some kung fu skills.

If you want to test it out, there is a high risk of being exposed.

The main thing is that there are quite a few secret sentries, and I found quite a few just by taking a casual look.

I suspect there must be some experts among these people."

"You can't even do anything?"

Chen Changan had seen Li Chenglin's abilities before. He had only mentioned his name at the beginning.

It was enough to scare away a lot of people. You can imagine how powerful Li Chenglin was in the army.

Now facing this black market, Li Chenglin himself is not sure.

"The main reason is that there are experts inside. It would be difficult to get in without anyone noticing. If we force our way in, we will definitely alert the enemy."

“It seems that it will be difficult to find clues from the black market.

We can only wait for Chief Ruan to see if there are any clues."

“Director, it’s normal to crack down on the black market anyway, so why don’t I lead the patrol team?

Go and seize that black market, arrest the guy, and then it will depend on your ability.

I don’t believe that I can’t get any clues.”

"This is just the last resort. You have to close down the black market.

The people who make fake food coupons will definitely move away, and it will be difficult to catch them next time.

They can just move to another place and continue to make fake food stamps. The black market can just move to another place. They can still continue to sell food.”

“Then can’t the grain station make the grain coupons more complicated?

Such a simple food stamp was easily copied by others."

"Simple? Then make me a replica. Food stamps are consumables. If you put a lot of effort into making them, they can be made well.

But what about the cost? Millions of food coupons are produced every month. How much money is this?

After a period of time, it needs to be recycled and destroyed before continuing to be produced.

Do you think that the country can't think of the problems you can think of?"

"Hey."

Li Chenglin was completely discouraged. Nothing worked.

It seems that we can only wait for Chief Ruan to bring back good news.

It was almost time to get off work in the afternoon when Section Chief Ruan returned with a group of people from the Public Security Department.

"Director, this is shocking, shocking."

Li Chenglin went up and kicked Section Chief Ruan on the butt.

"Speak properly, who did you learn this from?"

Section Chief Ruan was kicked by Li Chenglin and did not dare to fight back.

Just muttered to himself.

"I learned it from you. You talk like this in front of us every day. Can't I learn it?"

We were so close that even whispers could be heard.

Li Chenglin immediately prepared to continue kicking Section Chief Ruan.

Chen Changan said immediately.

"Okay, this is exactly what happened. If you want to beat someone up, you can do it after get off work.

Let Chief Ruan tell us what he found."

Li Chenglin glared at Section Chief Ruan, but did not take any action.

"Director, the 20,000 kilograms of grain a year is all a false report from the grain station.

In just less than ten months this year, I have found that there are 50,000 kilograms of grain.

This is because the grain station destroyed a lot of grain coupons, otherwise the number would probably be 100,000 kilograms."

"What? How dare they? How dare they? This is 100,000 kilograms of grain.

So many people in the country don’t have enough food every year, and they dare to do this.

Shoot them, you must shoot them."

Li Chenglin could no longer sit still and shouted that he wanted to shoot these people.

Chen Changan was very calm. The more urgent the situation was, the calmer he had to be.

It is obvious that the other side has people in the grain station, otherwise so much food would be missing in a year.

The people at the grain station couldn't have been unaware of it. The loss was so high that it would be 100,000 kilograms in less than a year. Even a fool could see that something was wrong.
