1029. Adhere to the Principle

"Enrichment or emptiness?" Ren Xiaosu frowned and said, "The first thing we are facing now is the problem of food shortage, so there is no time to think about these issues."

Wang Yuexi said: "So I stopped Miss Zhou, not to say that these potatoes should be thrown away, but to hope that the young marshal will order to sell them at a fair price to stabilize the market, and not to give them to the residents of the barrier for free. What you get for nothing will raise them." Idlers, not everyone is so ambitious, when they find that they can live without paying any labor, many people will be completely decadent."

Ren Xiaosu thought for a while and said, "If it were me, if I don't have to worry about eating and clothing every day, then I can do something more meaningful."

"Young commander, you are you. There are always some people in this society who are prone to decadence," Wang Yuexi said seriously: "Why are there beggars with healthy hands and feet in this barrier? Why are there still beggars in this difficult era?" There are some young people who are idle at home waiting for their parents to work to support them? There are not many people who are really hardworking and self-controlled. Some people play cards and mahjong all night. The reason why they get up and leave the table is that they still need to survive and work , If they can continue to sit at the poker table without doing anything, then they are really useless. It is good to play all the time, but it may be good to play for a month or two, and play for a year or two?"

Wang Yuexi continued: "Maybe I can jokingly say that as long as I don't let me work, I can always be happy, but is this really the case? No. Young commander, I just hope that these potatoes can be sold at a low price Stabilizing prices does not mean that Ms. Zhou's contribution is worthless. Moreover, setting a threshold for relief in times of crisis is in itself the right thing to do."

Ren Xiaosu nodded: "Well, then do as you said."

Let's not discuss whether Wang Yuexi's thinking is correct, let alone discuss long-term and short-term considerations. The other party can stop Zhou Yingxue, a black market tycoon and a celebrity next to the young commander, for his own ideas. He is a person with principles and courage. people.

And the other party was not extreme, they just asked to sell potatoes at a fair price, Ren Xiaosu had no reason to refuse.

He also agreed with Wang Yuexi's statement about setting relief thresholds. He had read a book saying that a long time ago, some people distributed rice for relief victims, and mixed some sand into it. Is this deliberately disgusting victims? no. The really hungry and panicked victims didn't care about whether there was sand in it. On the contrary, some people who were not too hungry didn't take advantage of the sand when they saw it.

Recently, Ren Xiaosu also learned an interesting story about Wang Yuexi.

Nowadays, there are a lot of migrants in Fortress No. 144, including some refugees and poor people in the Central Plains. As a result, many people have no money to buy or rent houses, and end up sleeping on the streets.

Then the policy research office led by Wang Yuexi formulated a relief project, which was to build a batch of low-cost houses for lease to those refugees.

However, when Wang Yuexi implemented this project, he specifically requested that the rented house does not have an independent toilet, but that there must be a common toilet for more than a dozen households, and it must also be squatting.

At the beginning, many people in the barrier scolded Wang Yuexi, saying that Wang Yuexi was really not a thing, and what he did was not called human affairs.

Later, everyone found out that those who scolded Wang Yuexi were all trying to take advantage of it. They might not need a house themselves, but they wanted to occupy this rented house with barriers and financial subsidies.

At this time, the benefits of setting up public toilets instead of independent toilets come, because it is good for people who have already slept on the streets to have a place to live, so who cares whether the toilets are public or independent?

As far as the matter is concerned, Wang Yuexi does have his own means in governing politics.

At this time, Wang Yuexi continued to Ren Xiaosu: "By the way, I have one more thing to ask the young commander. I hope Miss Zhou will plant potatoes and wax gourds here. Don't plant too many, and must keep it secret."

"Why?" Ren Xiaosu asked with a smile.

"Miss Zhou's method is our trump card," Wang Yuexi explained: "These potatoes can keep people from starving in the Northwest.

But if we plant a large area and let everyone think that there is no need to plant land in the Northwest, it may be a disaster. During the decades when Ms. Zhou was here, there might not be any accidents, but what if one day Ms. Zhou is gone? "

Zhou Yingxue murmured in a low voice: "Why are you still cursing people, saying that someone will be gone one day?"

She was extremely honest in front of Ren Xiaosu, and she didn't even dare to refute Wang Yuexi's words very loudly, but Zhou Yingxue was the owner of the black market in the Northwest after all, even if Ren Xiaosu was in charge, Wang Yuexi knew very well how tough the other party was.

But Wang Yuexi did not flinch, but continued to ask: "Young commander, to put it even worse, if we really rely on Miss Zhou to provide food, what if one day she goes to the Wang family? It's just a hypothesis, but who can guarantee the future? At that time, the lives of everyone in the Northwest will be in the hands of Miss Zhou, is this what you want to see, young commander?"

Ren Xiaosu smiled and said, "Are you worried that Zhou Yingxue will betray the Northwest?"

Zhou Yingxue said from the side: "How could I betray my master?!"

"Young commander, you should understand what I mean," Wang Yuexi continued to insist: "When you told Wang Fugui that Yunsu could not interfere with the Northwest's economic lifeline, you were also worried that one day you would be gone and Yunsu would become a newcomer. Young Marshal, there will always be a day when you, me, and Ms. Zhou will all leave here. So since we want to rejuvenate the Northwest, we must find the most suitable survival model and system for it, and Not looking for a savior."

In fact, there is a high probability that Zhou Yingxue will not betray Ren Xiaosu, but everyone has birth, old age, sickness and death, if one day Zhou Yingxue passes away, at least Tudou Sagittarius will never get close to strangers.

The potato shooter has become a humble crop in the hands of Ren Xiaosu and Zhou Yingxue, but if outsiders approach it privately, it will regain its dignity...

At that time, there may not be many people in the world who can get potatoes from a large potato shooter farmland.

Ren Xiaosu smiled and said: "It makes sense, just do as you said, Zhou Yingxue, don't make things difficult for him, you must follow the regulations of the barrier, and hand over the potatoes that were brought in to the barrier."

At this moment, Wang Yuexi was relieved. To be honest, when he assumed that Zhou Yingxue would betray the Northwest, he was really worried that Ren Xiaosu and Zhou Yingxue would be furious.

But he didn't think he was wrong in his advice, nor in what he said.

"Thank you, Young Marshal, for understanding my difficulties," Wang Yuexi said.

Ren Xiaosu patted him on the shoulder: "Thank you for what. I should thank you. There are people like Director Wang in the northwest, so they should be prosperous."
