Siheyuan: Promoted to engineer, torturing and weeping animals

"Hello, Deputy Section Chief Zhang! I'm Ge Chenghui, Shuji of Dayuan County. I heard that you have a way to help our county get food. Is it true?"

Ge Chenghui doesn't look like an intellectual, his face is dark, but he looks like a farmer who has been working on the land all year round.

After all, northern Hebei is not a capital city, and there are not so many highly educated people.

Many promoted cadres only know a few big characters.

Without any arrogance, Zhang Yi smiled and held his big rough hand with both hands: "Ge Shuji, that's right, I can help you solve the food problem in Dayuan County."

Chapter 442 Famine

When Ge Chenghui heard Zhang Yi's promise, he finally let go of most of his hanging heart.

He held Zhang Yi's hand tightly, tears welled up in his excited eyes.

"That's great! You don't know, the heavy snowfall last year destroyed the tens of thousands of acres of fertile land in our Dayuan County, and the vegetables we planted were all destroyed. This really hurt the vegetable farmers!"

Zhang Yi nodded, "I know, there is a problem with the dishes in the north of Hebei, and the price of the dishes in the capital is also one price per day. I feel the same way!"

"Well, after a while, my brother's company will send a batch of grain over, and ship it from Hong Kong Island to Tianjin Port. Then you will come and bring the grain back!"

Ge Chenghui couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard Zhang Yi say this: "Your clan brother? A businessman from Hong Kong Island?"

"No, but it's almost the same. He went abroad to do business in the early years, and now he is an overseas Chinese businessman. Now that his business has grown, he has been looking for opportunities to help the people in China."

"I told him about the snow disaster in your Dayuan County, and he immediately decided to give you 300 million catties of grain to help you get through the difficulties."

After hearing this number, Ge Chenghui and Chen Guoliang were stunned, unable to recover for a long time.

300... ten thousand catties?

When Zhang Yi said this word, he understated it.

After all, all his food comes from the system space. His [-] mu grain field is producing at a hundred times the speed, and the daily output of various grains is as high as [-].

The land is the best land, and the food is also grown in the best food. After a long time, he has no feeling for the food.

But for Ge Chenghui and Chen Guoliang, this is an astronomical figure!

Today's domestic grain production, one mu of good land all year round, can produce 300-400 catties of grain, which is considered a bumper harvest.

300 million catties of grain is the output of [-] mu of fertile land in a good year!

There are tens of thousands of households in Dayuan County, and the annual output in a good year is only tens of millions of catties.

Zhang Yi's hand here is such a large amount of food, enough for them to eat for several months!

The problem of food shortages was immediately resolved.

Ge Chenghui's eyes were full of gratitude. He hadn't had a good night's sleep since the heavy snowfall.

For the disaster-stricken issue of Dayuan County, he tried his best day and night, hoping to provide food for the common people so that they would not starve to death.

Until today, his eyes are bloodshot, which shows how exhausted he is physically and mentally.

Zhang Yi's promise released his tense emotions for several months.

Two lines of tears fell from the corners of his eyes.

"Pfft!"

Ge Chenghui actually knelt down in front of Zhang Yi, and kept saying, "Thank you, thank you, Deputy Section Chief Zhang! I thank you for your great kindness and virtue on behalf of tens of thousands of families in Dayuan County!"

Zhang Yi was taken aback by Ge Chenghui's actions.

In any case, Ge Chenghui is the person in charge of a county-level unit, and Zhang Yi was a little panicked when he knelt down for Zhang Yi.

This also made him more convinced of one thing, that Ge Chenghui Shuji was indeed promoted from the grassroots, and he was not from a serious academic background.

Otherwise, he would not have acted so rashly.

He quickly helped Ge Chenghui up, "Ge Shuji, don't do this! I also want to help the common people, you don't need to thank me so much."

There were tears in Ge Chenghui's eyes, "You don't know, from the end of the new year to now, every household has already eaten up all the food! Now many people in the village can only dig Guanyin soil and gnaw the bark to make a living!"

Zhang Yi's heart felt as if he had been hit hard by a heavy hammer.

He had only read about these things in history books in the past.

At that time, I didn't have any special feeling after reading it, but now I hear it with my own ears, but my heart is a little heavy.

There are only a few strokes in the history books, but I don't know how many magnificent and unbearable tragedies have been taken away in the long river of time.

After Zhang Yi was silent for a while, he asked, "What about the disaster situation near Dayuan County?"

Hearing Zhang Yi's words, Ge Chenghui hesitated for a while.

Zhang Yi is now a great savior for Dayuan County!

However, Ge Chenghui also had his own selfish intentions. What he thought of was to protect his folks and elders in Dayuan County.

In case Zhang Yi found out about the situation in the surrounding areas, it would not be a good thing for the people of Dayuan County to distribute the 300 million catties of grain to them.

But after thinking about it for a while, Ge Chenghui decided to confess to Zhang Yi, after all, Zhang Yi was their benefactor.

"The surrounding situation is not much better than ours, and there are even worse than ours. However, it is not the worst yet."

Zhang Yi turned his head, frowned and asked, "The worst? How bad is that?"

Ge Chenghui smiled wryly, and didn't know how to speak.

There is no way to tell others about many things on their side, because...it is so painful that people can't bear to say it.

It was Chen Guoliang who came over and said next to Zhang Yi: "It's all in the countryside over there, but it's not as good as the capital here."

"Even if the conditions in the rural areas around the capital are poorer, they will quickly get the attention of the higher-ups."

"But in northern Hebei, most of the areas are rural areas. Once there is a large-scale food problem, it is really difficult. This person, once hungry to a certain level, will not be called a person. The things he does are also very difficult. It’s not something humans can do.”

Zhang Yi's heart sank more and more.

In his mind, many stories he heard in the past emerged.

Before time travel, his grandfather told him many stories about the past, including the famine scene in this year.

Among them, two stories impressed him the most.

story one.

In a certain year, there was a famine in southern Henan and northern Anhui, and the common people's fields had no crops, and countless people died of starvation.

In order to survive, the common people ate up all the edible things, so they focused on the most unbeatable existence-cannibalism.

There was a family of more than a dozen people, but in the end only husband and wife and son remained.

On this day, as soon as the son came back from the outside, he saw his father and mother boiling water.

The son asked his parents what are they doing?

The answer: give you a bath.

The son tested the temperature of the water and said it was too hot to go in.

Parents said: Just bear with it, and it won't be hot later.

The son believed it was true, but as soon as he stretched out his feet, his parents pushed him in and firmly covered the pot.

When Zhang Yi heard this story for the first time, he was still young and had no feelings.

In addition, when grandpa said it, the narration was relatively flat, as if it was just killing pigs in the village during the New Year, without any special emotions, so Zhang Yi didn't take it to heart.

It wasn't until I got older and read the records about the famine in ancient times in the history books that I felt cold all over my body.

Chapter 443

The second story.

In the same year, there was a severe drought, and famine was happening everywhere. The food was all eaten, and many people died of starvation.

There was a woman who had been married to her husband's house for a few years, and one night she went back to her room to rest.

As a result, in the middle of the night, he was suddenly awakened by a movement.

She got up and lay down on the crack of the door to take a look, and saw her in-laws and husband discussing.

The parents-in-law said: "There is no food now, and your daughter-in-law has to eat for one more person at home. Why don't you sell her for food, and ask for a new wife for you after the disaster year."

The woman's husband had no objection after hearing this, and nodded in agreement.

The woman suddenly felt creepy, and quickly climbed out of the window and ran back to her mother's house.

After returning home, her parents asked her to go back to the room and sleep.

But after the woman was frightened, she couldn't fall asleep at all.

Who would have thought that in the middle of the night, they would hear their parents also discussing.

"She's married now. Instead of taking advantage of their family, it's better for us..."

The woman immediately went crazy.

As for what happened to her later, it is not mentioned in the book, but there is no need to go into detail about some stories.

Zhang Yi was silent for a while.

He has now lived a life of financial freedom, and because he lives in the capital, for a long time, he has forgotten that the time he traveled back to was actually not rich.

Chen Guoliang and Ge Chenghui felt the grief in Zhang Yi's heart, and they were also a little embarrassed.

Originally, I came to thank Zhang Yiping, but I didn't expect to cause Zhang Yiping a lot of trouble.

"Deputy Section Chief Zhang, these things are God's will, there is no way! You have done a lot for us."

Chen Guoliang comforted him.

Zhang Yi came back to his senses and smiled lightly, "It's nothing, I'm just feeling a little bit emotional."

But he secretly vowed in his heart that he must make the country prosperous and strong, and let the common people have enough to eat.

Not only to eat well, but also to live a happy life!

Only in this way can their children and grandchildren live a good life in the future, and they don't have to be crazy about the house and the bride price every day.

"Ge Shuji, I want to visit your neighborhood after a while. Could you please send someone to show me the way then, can you?"
