Chapter 76 The Battle of Rice
In modern society, the division of labor is getting stronger and stronger, and the regional economy is also obvious. The focus of industry is often very different in different regions. Some places are dominated by heavy industry, such as coal, steel and large-scale equipment. There are also places where light industry is the mainstay, clothing, department stores and daily chemicals. In fact, it is not only industry, but also agriculture. Because of climate and geography, the planting structure is also very different.
After contacting the two fast areas at once this time, although it did bring a lot of problems and difficulties, the benefits are also obvious.
Of these two areas, one was originally dominated by heavy industry, and the other was famous for light industry. When there is a lack of food, the piles of steel that can't fill the stomach are no different from scrap iron, and the clothes in one warehouse after another are just things that take up space. However, these things are in short supply for City J and the base camp.
Before the earthquake, these two new regions were poor. After the end of the world, the most basic survival materials are in short supply, but some production and daily necessities are inexhaustible. Especially for textile department stores, which used to be able to supply the global market, but now they are all backlogged, and they can't be used up.
Therefore, after the initial chaos and difficulties, everyone, from the official to the private, calculated their accounts and found that they had made money. Those who are short of food find that food is cheaper, those who are short of clothes find that the price of clothes has also dropped, and those who mobilize supplies also find that the types of reserves they can use are increasing.
After the discovery of these two new densely populated areas, these interconnected places were originally inhabited by nearly 90% of the country's population. For all, the inspiration is huge. Qiao Fei and the others have already started looking for the remaining 10%. This process lasted for several months. The places that were later found were large and small, and the specific situations were also different. In general, however, the situation is far from
Better than everyone originally estimated.
Basically, these places are not the places in the country, but also the surrounding areas connected to the national border. Of course, the principle of handling has also been continued: in one's own place, one's own people should immediately contact for help. Non-national lands were quietly evacuated. Fortunately, the technological and military strength of these surrounding areas is far behind that of our own, so those who sneaked in were not found, and no one came to protest the violation of sovereignty. This makes the talkers who were urgently recruited to J City feel very regretful that they have no room for themselves.
In the past few months, the whole society has recovered very quickly. The advancement of science and technology and the circulation of materials have continuously improved everyone's life, and some aspects have even surpassed the past. After survival is no problem, more people, having leisure, come to argue about the quality of life.
For example, City J has been very lively recently. For City J, this scuffle could probably be called the White Rice Defense War.
Qiao Fei's rice seeds were planted for the first round in the experimental field of the Seed Center. The rice harvested afterwards, except for a very small amount used in the experiment, is used as seeds for the second round of planting. Half of them were distributed to people in City J, and the other half were planted in various experimental fields, most of which were in the base camp, and a small amount was also distributed in Province S.
As for those places that were contacted later, the work of transplanting rice seedlings had already been completed when contacted. By the time they knew that there was such a rice variety, the leaves had already grown densely in the rice fields.
