Chapter 1623 Great development opportunities during drought!
Jingle bell——
A clear ringing sound rang through the entire trading market.
Bang bang bang——
The heavy doors of the trading market suddenly moved towards the middle and finally merged.
As the sun sets, the door of the trading market is completely closed.
The trading market gate opens at 8 a.m. and closes at 6 p.m.
Without exception, it will turn on and off at these two points.
Oil City.
Liu Jinglue and Li Zhengping found their third uncle to report their work.
The third uncle happened to come down from upstairs at this time. After seeing Liu Jinglue, he asked: "How many survivors have flowed in today?"
Liu Jinglue quickly said: "Today the inflow of people has reached 8,000, and the current population of the trading market has reached 108,920."
When the third uncle heard this, he raised his head and sighed: "Unconsciously, the population of the trading market has reached 100,000."
"Zhengping, why are you looking for me?" Third uncle looked at Li Zhengping and asked.
Li Zhengping said seriously: "Another security incident occurred in the business district today. Currently, the patrol team is somewhat short of manpower. I would like to expand the number of patrol teams, or transfer manpower from other departments."
The third uncle frowned, thought for a while and said:
"Okay, tomorrow I'll ask Chen Er's brigade to dispatch a squadron to help you."
"Okay." Li Zhengping felt relieved when he heard his third uncle agreed.
The population of the trading market has increased recently, and many of them are visiting the trading market for the first time.
This group of people had heard of the trading market before, but had never been to one.
Later, when I learned that there was a water plant here, I rushed in.
There is a shortage of water outside now. Although there are ways to obtain water, the water source is unstable and requires risking one's life. The gain outweighs the loss.
So they came to the trading market one after another.
The entry of this group of people is also given;
The security management of the trading bazaar has brought pressure.
The third uncle said to Li Zhengping:
"There are many people in the trading market now. You bring the patrol team to serve snacks and don't cause a big riot. It's very chaotic now and in the new year. We should use iron-blooded methods and never be soft-hearted. In addition, we must strengthen the standardized management of the trading market.
Prevent emergencies.”
Li Zhengping nodded and said seriously: "I understand, Third Uncle, today's robbery rioter was killed on the spot by us."
"Well, do you two have anything else to do?" Third Uncle asked.
Liu Jinglue hesitated and said:
"One thing happened. I found that some survivors came in. They didn't come in to enter the trading market, but to buy water. I thought that if we didn't lead a water pipe to the gate, we could sell water outside the trading market.
"
"When the gate was closed today, in order to let in all the people queuing up, the barbican was full. If this continues, we won't even be able to inspect it."
The drought has lasted for more than four months, and water resources have become increasingly scarce.
Clean water can be provided in the trading market, which is a huge temptation for the survivors.
"Okay, tomorrow...or you can also talk to Jie Changshan about this matter today."
"Okay." Liu Jinglue nodded.
As for water supply, many people only need ten liters of water at most. The approximate price is 0.03 points.
About the price of a tortilla.
"However, the sales price is still the same as in the trading market?" Liu Jinglue asked.
"You talk to Zhong Chuchu and the others about this," the third uncle replied.
Since the successful construction of the water plant, the price of clean water in the trading market has dropped a lot.
Each liter of water now costs 0.001 points.
100 liters of water only costs 0.1 points, which is very cheap.
Even the price of 100 liters of water is not as high as 0.25 points for a tortilla.
Liu Jinglue asked again worriedly:
"The number of people entering the trading market is increasing every day. Should we control the inflow of people?"
This question happened to be what Uncle San was thinking about these days.
He also feels that if the population continues to grow, although it seems to be a good thing, it will also cause hidden dangers to the security of the trading market and the oil city.
The third uncle opened his mouth and replied:
"I will discuss the question you asked with the headquarters base and let you know the result."
"good."
After the two people finished reporting their work, they left here and went to the canteen.
The third uncle went to the conference room and sat down next to the operator.
"Connect to the headquarters base, ask the city lord and the president to take their places, and tell them that I have something to ask them."
"Yes!" The operator was startled when he heard a sudden voice from behind.
The third uncle walked so quietly that the operator didn't even notice him until he sat down.
A few minutes later.
The operator turned to his third uncle and said, "Minister, the city lord and president at the headquarters base are ready and can communicate at any time."
At the same time, he stood up and made way for his third uncle.
The third uncle was not polite and sat directly in his seat and put on the headset.
"I'm Li Hongqian, second brother, Xiaoyu, are you all here?"
...
In the big camphor tree base.
Li Yu, who had just returned from running, was stopped by his second uncle and they came to the inner city conference room together.
Li Yu had a towel wrapped around his neck. He approached the radio station and said, "You can hear me, Third Uncle, tell me."
The third uncle didn’t talk nonsense and got straight to the point:
"After the water plant was built, the number of people entering the trading market increased dramatically, and now the population in the trading market has reached 100,000."
"I'm thinking that the trading market's capacity is limited. Should we start from now on and raise the threshold for entering the trading market to avoid problems such as riots and riots caused by too many people in the trading market."
In just a few words, the third uncle explained the causes, consequences, and problems clearly.
When Li Yu heard this, he glanced at his second uncle next to him.
He sat down silently.
He was actually quite surprised that the population of the trading market was growing so fast!
Half happy and half sad.
As far as he knew, Nanwan Lake was huge. Before the end of the world, it was the largest lake in the Central Plains. It was more than ten times the size of West Lake in Hangzhou. The water area reached 75 square kilometers, and the total water storage volume reached more than one billion cubic meters.
.
One cubic meter of water is approximately one ton.
This means that there are more than one billion tons of water in Nam Van Lake.
It's no fun to feed hundreds of thousands or even millions of people with so much water.
He has also been thinking about a question recently: how long will the drought last, and what will the accumulation of clouds in the sky cause.
After thinking for a long time, he discovered that all they could do was develop a base.
Without foresight, we can only proceed steadily, strengthen our strength, and improve our technology.
Since the Dazhangshu base evolved from a "gou" strategy to a "tuo" strategy two years ago, the overall strength of Dazhangshu has been like a running train that cannot stop.
If it were placed at the Da Zhangshu base a few years ago, there would not be such a problem at all.
When a natural disaster comes, they close the door and don't care about the other survivors outside.
Stay at the base and survive the natural disaster.
But things are different now. The power of Da Zhangshu has developed to this point, and it can no longer stop if it tries to put the brakes on.
As the last few years have passed, the number of survivors has become smaller and smaller.
It can be expected that the future population will also be an extremely important strategic resource.
Allowing more people to survive has become the goal of the Da Zhangshu Base.
They no longer stay in a turtle-shell-like place like before, having little fights.
The current Da Zhangshu base is too big and its strength is much stronger.
Looking at it from the perspective of the future, they will be much bigger than before, both in terms of mind and structure.
The population should be kept as large as possible.
Otherwise, just relying on later upgrades will be too slow and take too long.
Now that there is an opportunity to expand the population of the trading market again, why not do it.
Absorbing the population can enhance strength and influence.
At the same time, the increase in talent can also promote progress in all aspects and even science and technology.
As long as they become strong enough, solving the northwest is only a small problem.
After thinking in his mind for a long time, Li Yu said:
"I don't think there is any need to restrict survivors from entering the trading market."
The second uncle looked at Li Yu with some surprise when he heard this. He originally thought that Li Yu would impose restrictions. After all, the current drought is not over yet, and the accumulated clouds in the sky are frightening.
At this time, the more people are pouring into the trading market, the greater the management pressure will be if an unexpected natural disaster occurs later!
Is this still the stable Xiaoyu in his eyes?
"Second brother, what do you think?" Third uncle asked.
The second uncle took a deep breath and said:
"I think it's better to take it slow. With so many people pouring in all at once, and natural disasters full of uncertainties, the trading market might be easily overcrowded! If survivors are not restricted from entering, if there is a riot
, I’m afraid it’s not easy to manage...”
"It is not easy for the trading market to reach this level. We must stabilize it."
Li Yu heard this and retorted:
"Have you ever thought about building a buffer city in the trading market in advance?"
"Now that there are so many survivors joining us, why not just take advantage of them and build a buffer city? Then we can stuff all the fifth-level members into the buffer city."
"Buffer city?!?" The second uncle was a little shocked when he heard this.
"But...but letting them come in is a simple matter. Let them build, and we have to pay for food! We feed so many people, and the food pressure is too great!"
Li Yu chuckled softly:
"We can afford it. The current food reserves can support our full development for at least half a year!"
"More than four months have passed since the thunderstorm disaster. The crops in the 20,000 acres in the northern border and the buffer city of the headquarters base are being harvested one after another! All the food will be harvested before the end of this month! With this food, it will not be a problem to feed this population for half a year.
"
"In addition, as long as the buffer city of the trading bazaar is built within half a year, and greenhouses are built in the buffer city of the trading bazaar, a positive cycle can be achieved."
Li Yu has thought a lot these days.
The sudden increase in the population of the trading market did not just happen today, he knew about it a few days ago.
When he learned the news, he had an idea.
Use the growth of population to enhance the strength of the Great Zhangshu forces and solve the northwest first.
Then try to find other meteorites to completely end the problem of natural disasters.
Only development is the last word.
The siphon effect of population explosion will bring about faster construction speed, more people can be saved, and more food can be produced.
More food can feed more people.
Since it is impossible to judge the future natural disasters, we have been passively defensive and clinging to the basic market is no longer feasible.
Then more and more people will be created, forming a positive cycle. The more we build, the more food we will have.
The base develops faster.
Being reminded like this by Li Yu, the second uncle was stunned for a moment.
Only then did he remember that the grain reserves at Da Zhangshu Base were already very large.
Since the thunderstorm disaster just ended more than four months ago, more than 10,000 acres in the north and newly built greenhouses at the Da Zhangshu base headquarters have been planted with crops.
Not to mention anything else, there are already 20,000 tons of grain that have been harvested and are backlogged in the granaries at the Northern Territory and Da Zhangshu bases.
Moreover, due to the greenhouse cultivation method, crop growth is minimally affected by natural disasters and can continuously produce food.
Therefore, the food pressure he mentioned is basically no problem.
The second uncle felt a little emotional. This plate was so big that the productivity it unleashed was really amazing.
In the past, their Da Zhangshu base only relied on crops grown in greenhouses inside and outside the city, and could only produce thousands of tons of food every year.
The amount of grain produced in the first quarter now reaches tens of thousands of tons, a tenfold increase!
The second uncle was silent for a long time, still feeling a little unsafe.
So he opened his mouth and said:
"There is no problem with food, but there is a problem with the management pressure of the trading market... We have no experience in managing a base with more than 100,000 people..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the third uncle said:
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Second brother, you don't have to worry about this aspect."
"When survivors enter the trading market, they must hand in their weapons. If they don't have weapons, no matter how big a riot occurs, we can suppress it."
It is appropriate to use heavy codes when dealing with chaos.
This is most vividly reflected in the trading market.
So far, the rules set by the trading market do not allow survivors to rob or have physical conflicts inside.
Once violated, those involved will be killed.
No matter how hot-tempered the survivor is, I can't control you outside, but you must be honest when you enter the trading market.
There is no cost of trial and error, and it doesn't matter if you repent, cry, and kneel down to beg for mercy.
As long as you violate the trading market management regulations, there is only one outcome.
die!
They have posted the regulations on the city gate, inside the urn, and even in conspicuous places in the trading market.
Those who dare to make mistakes like this can only seek death.
Therefore, in Sanshu's opinion, as long as there is no chaos in the oil city, there will be no chaos in the trading market.
Even though tens of thousands of people rioted in the trading market, they were armed with thermal weapons and simply crushed the unarmed survivors.
And these survivors will not think of causing trouble in the trading market.
Because that is only a dead end.
After hearing what the third uncle said, the second uncle wanted to find some reason to oppose Li Yu's idea.
However, there seems to be no problem whether it is in terms of food or management.
He couldn't think of any other questions for a while.
He had no choice but to say: "I haven't thought of any possible problems for the time being, but I'd better consider this matter carefully."
The third uncle also said: "Don't worry, the current population of the trading market is designed according to the standard of 180,000 people, and now it is less than 110,000 people."
"However, it is best to decide in the next few days, because if a buffer city is to be built, it must be prepared in advance."
"Okay, Third Uncle, our headquarters base will hold a seminar tomorrow or two days to brainstorm and listen to everyone's ideas." Li Yu replied.
