Chapter 309: Food is the most important thing for people.
Ye Suiwan told Song Li all his thoughts in detail.
After saying that, he drank a glass of water in big gulps, his mouth feeling dry.
It took only half an hour for Song Li to frown when he first heard Ye Suiwan's prediction that the drought would be severe and the people would suffer, and then relax after hearing her solution. However, they both knew that there were still many problems to be solved if they were to really put the solution into practice.
For example, if so much grain flows into the market, it will inevitably attract the attention of government departments. What will they do then?
Should we sell the food to them? Or should we keep it and sell it ourselves?
The existence of the black market is reasonable. Although the attitude of the authorities towards the black market is to crack down on it, who can really leave the black market?
But what Ye Suiwan and Song Li were actually worried about was not the grain processing period, but whether there would be a settlement afterwards.
"I do have an idea. Brother Song, you can go directly to the county governor to discuss this later."
"And the requirement is to preserve the subsequent black market."
“The specific approach can be as follows.”
Since Ye Suiwan raised this question, he must have thought of a solution.
What surprised her was that Song Li also thought of this. This was good. Ye Suiwan believed that he would do better and better in the future.
Ye Suiwan told Song Li about his method.
"What do you think?"
Then she asked.
"Overall, it's good. Our county encountered such a natural disaster, but the mayor was able to handle it well, which is a good thing for him."
"But I wonder if we can organize all the veterans in the county to take charge of this matter."
"You know, most of the people here are veterans. They don't want to bother the organization. Many of them are not doing well, especially those with disabilities."
"Don't worry about it. The coarse grains we get from the food will definitely make a lot of profit if we sell them. I will give you all the money you deserve. I won't take the rest myself. I will give it all to these veterans."
"This money can help improve their living conditions in the future."
Song Li knew Ye Suiwan's character, so he told her his thoughts directly.
But he was also worried that Ye Suiwan would not agree.
Ye Suiwan was aware of Song Li's situation, and she was not surprised at all that he could come up with such an approach.
She would be surprised if he didn't use this incident to do something extra.
After all, they are just trying to make a living without disrupting the market.
At the same time, Ye Suiwan also had some ideas in her mind, but the current environment did not allow it. However, she believed that these people would have a future without worries about food and clothing.
"Okay, you can give me an amount of fine grains according to the specific situation, and I only want an equal amount of coarse grains. You can divide the rest among them."
"If they don't want it, I'll tell them that this is the work I'm giving them in advance. If they still remember it seven or eight years later, I'll come and tell them what work they need me to do."
Ye Suiwan said jokingly.
After listening to this, Song Li was silent for a moment.
He knew that Ye Suiwan must have her own plans for saying this, but she probably wouldn't be able to say more.
But what he could guarantee was that these people would definitely remember it, and that they really needed it, so he couldn't refuse the proposal.
"good!"
"Sister Ye, thank you!"
As Song Li spoke, he stood up and saluted Ye Suiwan.
The country is not rich at the moment, and these people really don't want to cause any more trouble. There must have been subsidies from the organization, but most people gave their subsidies to their other comrades.
There are always people who are worse off than themselves, and they just can't bear to sit back and watch, so they often ignore themselves.
It’s okay if the family understands, but there are many people who get divorced because their families don’t understand.
To be honest, we are still too poor.
"Brother Song, everything will be fine."
Ye Suiwan also thought of some situations.
Not to mention others, her father and her second brother, Xiao Yiyan, would give some money to the families of their comrades-in-arms every month.
"Yeah, it'll be fine, it will definitely be fine!"
Their country will definitely get better and better.
Song Li said firmly.
"Sister Ye, I will tell you the approximate amount of food you will need in the next two days."
"To be honest, the price of food on the black market is much higher than in previous years. Some people may be more sensitive and have noticed something unusual, so they have stockpiled food in advance."
"As for the matter of exchanging rations, I will inform my comrades later. Even if we have to walk and carry the rations to other cities or provinces, we will complete it."
Song Li continued.
At this moment, Ye Suiwan suddenly thought of the problem with their car.
Before, when we went to Shen Si to transport goods, we used the transport team's vehicles, but it was okay to use it once in a while. The frequency of using it for exchanging food must be high, and frequent use may lead to early exposure.
"Brother Song, is there a place to store so much food?"
Ye Suiwan had to ask this question.
"Don't worry, Sister Ye. A cunning rabbit has three burrows. We have a lot of land. Others will never be able to find it."
"There's one nearby. If you want to go take a look, I can take you there."
Song Li didn't expect Ye Suiwan to ask about this, but they did have a place.
"No, I trust you to do the job."
"We can't just walk around and exchange food, at least not in the early stages, and we can't let anyone but our own people know about it, so this needs to be solved."
Ye Suiwan has enough space to buy a car, but what should he do with the car later?
I definitely can't stay here any longer.
"Brother Song, I'll call Shen Si later and ask him to send me a car for you guys to use. When the time is right, you can drive it over to him. How about that?"
Ye Suiwan thought about it and felt that this method was feasible.
Song Li's eyes lit up instantly.
"Ye, Sister Ye, is this too troublesome?"
Song Li was so excited that he was incoherent.
This is a car, not a bicycle, nor an ox cart or a donkey cart.
"No, this matter was done for me, so I have to contribute myself."
"And we should also pay our comrades, right?"
Ye Suiwan smiled.
Song Li didn't agree with this statement, but he didn't say anything. He was still a little bit incredulous at the moment.
To be honest, what worried him the most was the transportation. Now that it has been solved, their efficiency will be greatly improved.
Of course, cars still have to go to far places, and to get to advanced places, they really need tractors, ox carts, or even carts.
This is something that must be done from any angle.
Food is the most important thing for people. If there is a food shortage, the consequences will be disastrous.
Especially those who have gone through those three years.
"Sister Ye, no matter what, I have to thank you."
Song Li Zheng Zhongdao.
