Chapter 146 Ration System

After thinking about it, Shen Bing said:

"Using extraordinary methods in extraordinary times!"

"The subordinate thought I was waiting for the rationing system to be implemented!"

Yang Duanhe could not help but wonder:

"What is rationing?"

The rationing system has actually been used in many countries, but most of them are modern.

For example, it was used in Germany when supplies were in short supply during World War II and in Britain when it was blocked by Germany.

Shen Bing explained:

"In short, it means to collect all grains into the state for unified deployment."

"This will keep as many people alive as possible."

This is obvious.

The amount of grain in the hands of the people is different, some are more and some are less.

Secondly, the number of disasters is also different.

If there is not much food stored and the food is flooded, I am afraid that the food will sprout in a few days and cannot be preserved.

Then just waiting to starve to death?Or watching the grain grow into wheat shoots and then rot?

On the other side, there are people who have a large amount of food and are unwilling to provide relief.

The result of this situation is obvious. There are still people starving to death in the grain, and there will even be many disputes, such as stealing grain and grabbing grain.

The rationing system can avoid this situation as much as possible.

Because everyone has no food in their hands, they are all waiting to be distributed.

More importantly...

"If a rationing system is implemented, then we can distribute the flooded grain first."

"Or do some treatment, such as try drying."

"The grains that are not flooded are used later, which can increase the time."

Yang Duanhe nodded and said:

"It's reasonable, indeed, the rationing system should be implemented!"

Speaking, Yang Duanhe raised his head and ordered Li Yan standing beside him:

"If the order is passed on, all people, regardless of status and family background, must hand over all food and not hide it privately."

"Someone will ration them afterwards, don't worry!"

Li Yan replied, and went down to make arrangements.

This is not difficult to do, because now the sword is in Qin Jun's hands, and the people of Wei State are worried about whether Qin Jun will kill them. Of course, they can't resist even if they surrender the grain.

But this is still quite dangerous in the early stage.

Because this move will certainly cause panic among the people.

There is a saying that the people take food as their heaven. The people store food for the winter, and now it is almost to kill them to take their food away.

Although Qin Jun promised to ration them in the future, who knows if what Qin Jun said is true or not?

What if you lied to them?

So a careless person will force the people to rebel.

It would be even worse if the people captured the prison again and released the 200,000 Wei army.

But things will get better after a while.

Because they found Qin Jun fulfilled his promise to distribute food to them...so they slowly let go of their guard.

Not long after Li Yan went down, he saw Wei Wei hurried up.

He rushed to Yang Duanhe and arched his hands:

"General, I heard that the general wants to collect food, and his subordinates think it is absolutely necessary."

"If the people don't have food in their hands, they may cause chaos. At this critical moment..."

Yang Duanhe felt more relieved when Wei Wei said so.

Yang Duanhe is not stupid, he knows that if Wei Wei is a false surrender, no matter whether you Qin Jun arouses public outrage.

Even if the Qin Jun provoked the people's anger, it was just right, when Wei Wei raised his arms and heard the orders from the people.

But now Wei Wei came to remind Yang Duanhe as soon as he knew this, which was enough to prove that he was thinking about the problem from the perspective of Qin Jun.

Yang Duanhe smiled and raised his head towards Shen Bing:

"This is what the husband meant."

Wei Wei only saw Shen Bing sitting aside at this time, and he couldn't help but look puzzled, as if he didn't believe that Shen Bing would come up with such a bad idea.

After Shen Bing explained it for a while, Wei Wei suddenly realized.

"My husband's remarks are reasonable, and the rationing system should be implemented."

Shen Bing comforted Wei Wei and said:

"General Wei rest assured."

"At this time, our army is actually in the same boat as the Liangjun and civilians."

"The people give birth to our army and live, and the people confuse our army and die."

"How can I wait to be so ignorant and seek a dead end?"

Shen Bing's words are a hint:

If the Qin Jun could not hold the beam to the end one day, or caused a civil strife, he would take the people and the prisoners to die in the first place.

In fact, it is true.

The first is the prison where the prisoners are held, which is the camp that the Wei Jun builds on his own...

In the huge Daliang City, there is no big prison enough to hold 200,000 people.

Therefore, Wei Bing was actually imprisoned in a mountain col, with wooden fences at both ends, not far away is an inland river, and a dug artificial river leads directly to the col.

Of course, this artificial river was also dug by Wei Bing.

As long as there is something wrong, the Qin Army can flood the prisoners of Wei at any time.

The family members on the other side are gathered in a group of wooden houses, and Qin Jun can turn them into ashes with just one fire...

This is not to say that Yang Duanhe is cruel, but that sometimes you have to do this to save your life.

There is a saying "You must dare to fight to stop the war."

It means that if you dare not fight, anyone will bully you, so the troubles will increase.

Qin Jun's situation was the same at this time.

They must grasp the handle of the Wei Jun prisoners and have enough power in their hands to be able to get peace instead of killing.

Shen Bing said that Wei Wei was relieved.

Human psychology is sometimes so strange. The more you speak nice things in danger, the more scared he will be.

On the contrary, the smell of ignition will make it feel at ease.

Wei Wei replied:

"Sister-in-law, this method is very good, because the subordinates are too mindful."

"However, the general... his subordinate has a relentless request."

"Can this matter be handed over to the subordinates?"

"The subordinates will explain the situation to the people and collect all the food."

Shen Bing turned his gaze to Yang Duanhe, which was not a decision he could make.

Yang Duanhe thought that it would be appropriate for Wei Wei to do it.

Wei Wei's reputation in the beam is pretty good. If he were to explain the situation to the people at this time...Of course, there would be a lot less trouble. Why not have the best of both worlds?

So he nodded in agreement:

"I can trust General Wei, so you can do this!"

Wei Wei hurriedly said:

"General Xie."

Then he whispered to Shen Bing:

"Thank you husband."

Shen Bing hurriedly responded.

After Wei Wei left, Yang Duanhe asked:

"What do you think of Wei Wei?"

Shen Bing replied:

"It is said that he led the troops to attack Guangwu Mountain?"

Yang Duanhe nodded:

"indeed so."

"The arrow wound on his body was left over that night."

Shen Bing praised:

"Courageous and strategic, a rare general."

"It's a pity that King Wei has eyes and no beads. Such a general is by his side but he doesn't know how to reuse it, and he won't be wronged."

Yang Duanhe nodded in sympathy, and then asked:

"Is this person available?"

Shen Bing was a little surprised, can Yang Duan and this general actually want to ask themselves?

But Shen Bing still replied:

"Subordinates thought it was available, but not at this time."

Yang Duanhe just replied:

"That's great."
