Chapter 842

This peninsular war added seven red plaques to the Wang family. But it also gave the Wang family five officers, five officers with great futures.

It's not like Wang Ran's logistics. Except for Wang Yi, the others are all front-line combat troops. I just don't know if they will be as lucky as Wang Ran. Not only can they return to China, but they can also stay in BJ.

It was also during this year that many things happened. The first thing that was closely related to Wang Wenwu's life was the appearance of tickets.

After the start of the reform, farmers' enthusiasm for production was mobilized. Agricultural production recovered quickly in a peaceful environment. In the following two years, grain output increased significantly. By last year, it exceeded the highest level in history. At the same time, economic recovery work was basically completed.

Finish.

Although grain production has increased, grain supply still cannot meet food demand. By the summer and autumn of this year, the first large-scale food supply crisis occurred. The causes of this food crisis are complex.

There is a contradiction between total supply and demand, which means that the overall problem of "not enough food to eat" has not fundamentally changed. First, the long-term war has severely damaged agricultural production and heavy taxes have left a legacy of history.

Secondly, large-scale economic construction was launched. A large number of rural people migrated to cities and towns, resulting in a large increase in the population in cities and industrial and mining areas. These migrated people were originally in the countryside and produced food for self-sufficiency, but after moving to the city, they became a "net demand" for food.

In addition, in order to meet the needs of national economic construction, cash crop planting areas have expanded, and farmers who grow cash crops or livestock areas have also become the "net demander" of food.

Finally, there was a large-scale famine this year, which reduced food production. At the same time, people in the disaster-stricken areas needed food relief.

But in Wang Wenwu's opinion, the food output has not been fully converted into food supply. Although food production has been increasing for several consecutive years, because farmers have been hungry or semi-starved for a long time in the past, but now they are full, the consumption in rural areas is higher than

There used to be more.

In addition, farmers generally have a reluctance to sell their surplus grain, mainly because the long-term hunger in the past has given people a strong sense of crisis in storing grain for shortages. Of course, there are also some people who are trying to wait for a higher price before selling.

With farmers generally reluctant to sell their surplus grain, the amount of grain purchased by grain stores cannot meet the expected plan, and the source of food supply is insufficient. The demand for food from people in cities and towns continues to increase, and grain stores are faced with the problem of buying less and selling more.

Gap problem. Nowadays, many grain stores have long queues to buy grain.

Some grain dealers also discovered that state-owned enterprises buy less and sell more, and are desperate for profits. How could they give up? So they took the opportunity to stock up and speculate, driving up grain prices.

They purchase surplus grain from farmers at a price higher than that purchased by the state, or purchase state-owned grain, and then hoard it. When the state-owned grain is out of stock, they sell the grain at a higher price than the state-owned grain, making a profit from the price difference.

When people in need of food saw that state-owned enterprises were out of stock and market food prices rose, they were worried that food supply would be cut off or would rise even higher in the future, so they followed suit and rushed to buy food, further exacerbating the food supply.

Under such circumstances, solutions were quickly introduced. The main ones are three points.

1. Implement planned grain purchases from households with surplus grain in rural areas. In addition to paying public grain, grain-producing farmers should sell surplus grain to the state in accordance with the grain types, purchase prices, and purchase quantities specified by the state.

Second, for urban people and rural people who are short of food, implement planned food supply, that is, a policy of rationing food distribution.

3. Free trade in grain is prohibited.

The city that took the lead in implementing planned food supply was naturally BJ, as the capital of good things. At first, it only issued flour purchase certificates, and residents purchased flour with vouchers. Since then, some other cities have also issued food vouchers.

Wang Wenwu knew that this was the beginning of everything. In the following year, the same policy as food was adopted for oil, cotton, and cotton cloth. Therefore, oil stamps and cloth stamps were also issued. Food stamps, oil stamps, and cloth stamps were combined.

This marks the official arrival of the ticket era.

In fact, it all started because of the extreme shortage of materials, daily necessities were in short supply, and famine occurred in many places. Under such circumstances, a voucher-based rationing system had to be quickly implemented in major cities, and necessities were distributed on a per-person basis.

Quantitative control. Perhaps the voucher system originally envisioned was just a stop-gap measure, waiting to be canceled after the economy improved. Unfortunately, the economic situation never improved enough to cancel the vouchers, and the shortage has always been serious.

As for another thing, it is related to housing. China can’t wait to build factories one after another. With the establishment of factories, the increase of workers requires more housing.

In the beginning, there were many empty rooms in Beijing. One or two rooms in the courtyard house could accommodate a family. Gradually, there were not enough houses, even if there were no new houses built. But later, with the onset of the Peninsular War, more and more people could stay.

Most of them were used in wars.

The red plaque at the door of Wang Wenwu's house has prevented Wang Wenwu from a lot of trouble. At least recently, people from the street government have come to mobilize like other residents nearby. But Wang Wenwu feels that that day is not far away.

Wang Wenwu divided the courtyard where he currently lives into four parts. Two of them were given to the children of the two new aunts, and the two new aunts also took this opportunity to stay in the Wang family.

One copy belongs to Wang Wenwu and Anastasia, and the other one names the children who have not been separated out separately. Most of these people are still on the peninsula! I don’t know if they will still be there.

Wouldn't be left at BJ's.

In addition, Wang Wenwu laid off most of the servants at home. They were all recruited after Wang Wenwu settled in this courtyard again. Only those who originally planned to escape with Wang Wenwu were left.

Many people were laid off, except Wang Wenwu. Everyone has to help with housework. There is no way, who made Wang Wenwu's family too big. Without so many people, it can't run at all. Fortunately, some heavy tasks are now done

There is no need for Wang Wenwu and others to take action, which is considered good news.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Many servants resigned, but the escort team in Wang Wenwu's hands was not like the servants at home. They were dismissed.

These people are capable and courageous. Although Wang Wenwu has always thought that he treats these people well and takes great care of them, but who can guarantee what they think in their hearts?

But Wang Wenwu doesn't need so many people now. In order to ensure that they are loyal to him, Wang Wenwu not only gives money, but also money. In other words, it is not an exaggeration to say that Wang Wenwu's escort team is a group of mercenaries.

The reason why Wang Wenwu has always been able to command like an arm depends not only on money, but also on the large number of combat personnel.

You can survive after one battle, you can survive after two battles, and you can still survive after three battles, but can you guarantee that you will survive every time? As long as a person dies, Wang Wenwu will naturally sit back and relax.

Another point is that, except for the captain of the escort team, Wang Wenwu tried his best to ensure that there was no one in the team who responded to everything.

But now that there are not so many needs and there are so many people, he may be able to support them for a while. But as time goes by, Wang Wenwu knows that this situation cannot last long. He must find a new way to maintain it.

These people are loyal to themselves.

Wang Wenwu has always known that loyalty maintained by force and money alone is not reliable. Orphans like Wang Yongcheng who were adopted by him are good candidates.

Judging from the current facts, Wang Wenwu made the right move. The people who came out of the orphanage sponsored by Wang Wenwu are very loyal to Wang Wenwu. Under normal circumstances, there is no need to consider the possibility of rebellion.

It was just that Wang Wenwu thought at that time that he had no intention of staying. So when Wang Wen was about to go overseas, he planned to take care of the orphanage. Unfortunately, he never found anyone willing to take over. Later, time waited for no one, and the orphanage was ignored.

Clear. The person disappears.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for the Shaanxi side to capture the city of Beijing. The orphanage did not run out of ammunition and food. Among people like Wang Yongcheng, there were not many complaints against Wang Wenwu.

But even so, Wang Wenwu had to find a way to put these people within his sight.

When such an old system was broken and a new one was just established, it gave Wang Wenwu a lot of convenience. Thanks to Wang Wenwu's emphasis on education, Wang Yongcheng and others were not only able to read and write sentences, but also followed Wang Wenwu in doing things.

I also learned a lot of things.

Of course, how to clean firearms and install explosives does not count. Skills that can be used to make a living include driving, accounting, and sending and receiving telegrams. There are also a few people who often cook, and their skills are also good.

Although it is not as good as those who have learned the art from serious apprenticeships, it is much better than the country chefs who can only know a few side dishes. Mainly because compared with those country chefs. Wang Wenwu's father in the escort traveled all over the country and saw many things.

There is little place to eat. There is no shortage of things, and there are plenty of opportunities to practice. It’s just some small skills and skills in cooking that cannot compare with those who have learned the skills and become a system.

BJ has built many new factories and has opened many joint ventures in stores. Wang Wenwu rented the vacant house in front of his house to Wang Yongcheng, giving him a very reasonable reason to live in his own home.

Of course, Wang Yongcheng himself also had his own job. Wang Wenwu spent some time and made him a postman. He usually walked the streets of Beijing delivering letters and contacting the members of the escort team scattered throughout the city.

As a result, Wang Wenwu felt very uneasy because the connection between himself and the escort could only be conveyed through Wang Yongcheng. If he had other intentions.

Wang Wenwu has always known that human nature cannot stand the test. Don't test human nature easily. From a short-term perspective, Wang Yongcheng is reliable. The other team members are also very reliable. But how long can this situation last?

One year, maybe two years. But what about ten years later, twenty years later? Can Wang Wenwu still command these people?
