Chapter 171 Food now
Lu Yi listened to Chen Xi's inquiry, put down the pen in his hand, raised his head, and found that many people present were staring at him.

Facing this scene, she no longer had the initial panic in her heart, and she felt extremely calm. A few glances could no longer disturb her mind.

"Zichuan, due to land reclamation, construction of water conservancy projects, use of agricultural tools, and the addition of a large number of refugees, the grain harvest in the main counties in the south of Taishan County is close to 700 million dan, Fenggao and its surroundings We harvested 270 million stones, while in the north of Taishan County, there were less than 70 stones. According to the 520-200 ratio in the previous three years, we could only obtain 100 million stones." Lu Yi looked at his statistics and read out slowly , "If you add in the grain we purchased and stored before and the [-] million shi donated by Zizhong, the total is close to [-] million shi."

"One thousand and one million stones of grain?" Lu Su listened to this data and immediately began to figure out how to use the grain.

"Yes, the amount of grain is correct. If you have any doubts, you can take the account for calculation." Lu Yi glanced at Lu Su and said confidently.

When everyone present heard this, of course they would not calculate it a second time. One thing is that in terms of calculation ability, except for Chen Xi, everyone present was beaten and had no power to resist.

Even Chen Xi has to kneel down in this purely numerical addition and subtraction. After all, this thing only requires computing power and has little to do with thinking ability.

This is also the reason why Lu Yi's true identity is known to many people, but they all treat it as unknown.

Unlike Fan Qin, who fishes in troubled waters and is suspected by others because of his identity as Chen Xi's eldest brother.

Lu Yi truly relied on her own ability and hard work to secure her position.

"Is the amount of grain this year too small? I saw that the grain growth in the fields was quite good before. It is not an exaggeration to say that there is a bumper harvest. How could it be so small?" Lu Su thought of what he had seen before. The picture directly expressed the doubts in his heart.

Lu Yi didn't explain when she heard this. This was not her job scope.

As this question was raised, everyone present automatically looked at Chen Xi.

Chen Xi, under the gaze of everyone, calmly searched for information from his political affairs team.

"Found it." Chen Xi looked at the information in his hand, and then continued, "Although a large amount of wasteland has been reclaimed this year, and the new farmland has been divided into regions according to villages and towns, some places were reclaimed early, and some places were reclaimed early. If the land was opened late, the food was planted early. If the land was opened late, the time for planting food was inconsistent. Therefore, many of the new fields opened this year have not yet been planted this year. Most of the fields planted this year are left over from the past. Old fields, that’s why there are so few.”

Chen Xi thought about it for a moment, then said another reason, "There is another reason that deserves attention, that is, in the form of work-for-relief, it is settled once a day and settled with food. This makes many people who are concerned about People who do not have enough trust in the government directly choose to engage in labor and exchange labor for food instead of farming, which takes longer to harvest.”

Although Chen Xi did not explain in detail who these people were, everyone present was not a fool. The only ones with such distrust may be the Yellow Turbans from Qingzhou.

Of course, those who appear in Taishan County now cannot be called Yellow Turbans. They are registered Taishan people. "Of course, as this period continues, the people's recognition of the government's credibility will also increase. As long as we don't make mistakes, there will definitely be no problem with growing food next year." Chen Xi was also very clear about this, so he also gave it a positive The answer is, after all, a lot of what he is doing now is to increase the credibility of the Taishan government.

"Since there are no problems next year, our food can be said to be quite sufficient." Lu Su said after calculating the food consumption, "Based on the current consumption, our food can be used until the year after next, right?"

"It's not enough, it's really not enough." Chen Xi shook his head, looked at Lu Su's puzzled eyes, and continued, "It can't last that long. The food consumed in Taishan County is too large now, and it has far exceeded the normal consumption. .”

"This year's food has been harvested. Zichuan, you won't continue to provide work-for-relief, right?" Lu Su looked at Chen Xi with some confusion. Will this kind of work-for-relief continue?

"It's rare to have this opportunity. There is so much manpower, and with the harvest of food, the people will also enter the off-farm time. Take advantage of this opportunity to do more work." Chen Xi said with a hint of a smile, "There are so many of them. Wouldn’t it be nice to earn some food and money while we harvest other things?”

"Zichuan, you won't continue this behavior until next year, will you?" Lu Su really doesn't understand now. You must know that the people working in Taishan County now, especially those who are paid by the government, are all Very much, even if there is so much food, it is not consumed in this way.

We can’t survive the future, but what if something unexpected happens later?
"Zibo, I remember you have a rough statistic, how long can our food and grass last?" Chen Xi turned to look at Lu Yi who had re-entered work mode, and asked after reminding him.

After Lu Yi heard this, he directly took out a booklet from the table at the back, opened it, and read directly, "According to statistics conducted at the end of last month, Taishan County currently has a population of 4 million people. , according to normal estimates, the number of people who need to be distributed food by the government reaches [-]%.

Entering the slack period, without restrictions, [-]% of the people need to be distributed food. If the additional distribution of money is added, converted into food, it is basically equivalent to the government supporting all the people in Taishan County. "

"So many people? During the off-season, if we start working as a relief fund, is it equivalent to Taishan County directly supporting all the people?" Lu Su had a headache when he heard this. There are millions of people, even if one person is supported One kilogram of grain a day would cost nine thousand dan in a day, not to mention even more when working.

Chen Xi saw that Lu Su had a headache, but didn't care much. It was a good thing to be in this kind of thinking state, as he would not be like his elder brother, who was fishing in troubled waters even when discussing these issues.

Chen Xi glanced at his eldest brother. He was very good. He didn't fish in troubled waters and went to sleep in the Government Affairs Office.

Seeing this scene, Chen Xi wanted to go to Liu Bei and directly make personnel changes. It would be great to have the diligent Lu Su.

But Liu Bei had his own job during this period, which was to reward officials for their work results during this period.
