For Qiao Xuejun, being tied to the First Base has more advantages than disadvantages.
The 15 acres of land she cultivated was not enough to feed the four of them, and there was excess production capacity.
The final use is to hand it over for barter in exchange for other survival resources, such as blue oil, guns and ammunition.
The current survival base in Gongzhou is a merged version of the first and third bases, followed by Shen Xingtang’s seventh base, and then retail investors.
Not to mention Shen Xingtang, there is no possibility of cooperation, and the capabilities of retail investors are not as good as those of the First Base. For example, if she needs 100 liters of blue oil, which retail investor can take it out at once?
Therefore, Gongzhou is currently the most suitable place to be the first base.
And she is also willing to choose the first base.
But this matter is of great importance and must be carefully considered. Qiao Xuejun analyzed rationally: "According to the law of social development, after order is stabilized here, the survival bases outside will consciously or unconsciously move closer to us. If we choose the first base early, we may not be able to choose other bases to cooperate with in the future."
This is how population migration works: the more prosperous a place is, the more people it has and the more power it has.
She is a grain producer. If there are multiple bases settling in Gongzhou in the future, she will have a wide range of choices, and can even cooperate with all of them, just like a large grain trader. Now that she is bound to the first base, the road ahead is not so wide.
Kuang Qianli: "That's right. What if there is a base better than the First Base in the future? I won't be free even if I'm tied up to death."
Better than first base?
Wang Juanfeng looked at Qiao Xuejun: "Qiao Qiao, what do you think is the probability of someone better than Lord Zhao and better than the First Base appearing?"
Qiao Xuejun was stunned. Is that a probability?
In Qiao Xuejun's mind, there emerged the scene of Zhao Xian efficiently executing the evildoers, numbering each mountain, arranging patrols, preferentially treating experts and talents, and preserving the seed bank.
Kuang Qianli: "That's really hard to come by."
Qiao Xuejun nodded in understanding: "I don't believe that any random base in the future will be better than Zhao Xian. There is no reason why the No. 1 base cannot compete with others."
Qiao Xuejun stood up and said, "Then I declare that we will become the food supplier for the First Base from now on. It was passed unanimously."
·
The next morning, Qiao Xuejun arrived at the First Base and stood in Zhao Xian's office: "Our shelter has unanimously approved the cooperation plan you proposed yesterday, Lord. It is feasible."
In the office, Zhao Xian sat on a chair, looked up at Qiao Xuejun, and smiled happily: "Okay."
He took out a document from the drawer and handed it to Qiao Xuejun: "Then sign it."
Qiao Xuejun was stunned for a moment before taking the document and opening it. It contained a contract, or in Zhao Xian's words, a document.
[Informed consent for in-depth cooperation with Zhao Xian’s organization]
Under the big title, the text briefly described the form of cooperation in two or three lines. As mentioned before, half of the blue oil produced by Zhao Xian's first base, no matter how much, will be used to support the development of agriculture in Qiao Xuejun's shelter. Qiao Xuejun needs to provide the food reserves needed by the first base.
The last sentence is: Both parties are aware of the situation and have reached an agreement. Let us work together to strive for a better tomorrow.
[Party A’s signature:]
[Signature of Party B: Zhao Xian. Agreed.]
The entire document was handwritten, with the words being free and unrestrained, and the two characters Zhao Xian, signed by Party B, were even more bold and daring.
In this period, order has collapsed, laws have no meaning, what is the use of signing a document? Is it a sense of ritual for leaders?
Zhao Xian: "I've finished reading it. Party A, please sign it."
Qiao Xuejun looked at him, surprised: "I am Party A?"
Zhao Xian nodded and handed her the pen in his hand: "Of course. As Party B, I have to be responsible for providing Party A with blue ink."
Qiao Xuejun took the pen.
The pens Zhao Xian used seemed to be heavier than others, and felt heavy when he held them.
Qiao Xuejun wrote her name in the blank space of Party A: Qiao Xuejun.
After finishing writing, I plan to put the pen cap back on.
Zhao Xian reached out and tapped the document, "Agree?"
Do I still need to write my consent?
Qiao Xuejun took off the pen cap again and wrote stroke by stroke: "I'm writing, I'm writing."
Qiao Xuejun. Agreed.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully expanding the shelter and achieving the 10-person shelter achievement. Reward: 200,000 shelter food points! ]
[Congratulations to the host for successfully expanding the shelter and achieving the 20-person shelter achievement. The cumulative reward for the shelter food points is 400,000! ]
…
[Congratulations to the host for successfully expanding the shelter and achieving a 2,000-person shelter. The cumulative shelter food points reward is 40 million! ]
Qiao Xuejun was shocked by the series of system reports in his mind.
The system reward suddenly increased from 10, 20, 50 people to 2,000 people. Then there was also a huge food reward, which finally increased to 40 million kilograms of food.
What does this mean? Does this mean that you can retire right after signing your employment contract?
The system also stuttered and popped up: "Host, did you go to rob somewhere? Kidnap?"
Kidnapping doesn’t happen that fast!
Qiao Xuejun: ...
She looked at the cooperation contract in her hand. It turned out like this after signing it.
Could it be that the system identified the First Base as her refuge?
Qiao Xuejun forced herself to calm down.
"Okay." She put the cap on the pen and handed the document to Zhao Xian, "Now let's talk about the details of the cooperation. I tell you, I can't do anything too demanding, such as requiring you to eat a variety of fruits after meals every day... But if you mention it first, I can try to do it."
This condition was thought of by Qiao Xuejun in advance, but having just experienced the shock of 40 million kilograms of grain, she seemed to think that it was not impossible.
Zhao Xian: "Do I look like someone who would make that kind of request?"
He said, "Do you know the number of people in the First Base?"
Qiao Xuejun: "Between two thousand and three thousand?"
Because there was no report of 3,000 people just now, according to this rule, after 2,000, it will be 3,000. If the number of people in the first base reached 3,000, the reward would be announced, but there was no reward announcement, which means that the number of people is actually less than 3,000.
Now is the early days of the apocalypse, and small tribes are the normal state.
Zhao Xian nodded: "Two thousand two hundred and eighty-six people. Potatoes, pumpkins, cabbages, whatever it is, you need to provide at least three months of reserve food as emergency food."
Qiao Xuejun thought for a moment and said, "Then let's use potatoes. If we calculate based on 1 jin per person per day, that's 200,000 jin. We should have 200,000 jin for daily storage. That's no problem. I still have some surplus food here. I can keep the 200,000 jin as a granary and provide food every three months."
Zhao Xian: "Yes. In addition to the staple food, you also need to eat other vegetables that provide vitamins, or other foods that provide protein and fat."
Qiao Xuejun: "I can grow mushrooms to provide protein. As for fat, there is no large-scale animal farming at present. For vegetable oils, peanut oil can be considered, which can be grown and pressed."
“…”
Zhao Xian and Qiao Xuejun discussed the details of the food supply and finally finalized it. The negotiation process went very smoothly.
