Siheyuan: Rebirth of Liu Ergou
Chapter 158: A Deal in Winter
The biting cold wind is like a sharp blade, cutting every inch of exposed skin. Snowflakes are like feathers floating in the sky, decorating the entire courtyard with silver. In this world covered with ice and snow, the residents of the courtyard rely on collective heating to maintain indoor warmth.
Xu Damao, Yan Jiekuang and Jia Dongxu, as the guardians of the boiler room, silently stick to their posts. Their faces are full of fatigue and helplessness, because the temperature in the capital has dropped to an unprecedented minus 40 degrees Celsius. The fire in the boiler room reflects their busy figures, and they keep adding coal to the furnace, trying to make the temperature in the room warmer.
However, the coal reserves were constantly decreasing. Xu Damao watched the piles of coal disappearing with worry. He knew that if the coal continued to be consumed like this, the coal would be exhausted in a month at most. By then, the whole courtyard would be in a cold predicament.
Liu Yi was a warm-hearted person in the courtyard. He had nothing to do, so he went to the boiler room to check the coal reserves. When he saw Xu Damao's anxious eyes, he understood everything. He smiled and handed Xu Damao a cigarette, saying, "Come on, brothers, have a cigarette to refresh yourself. I have thought of a way to prevent the residents in the courtyard from freezing."
Yan Jiekuang took the cigarette and laughed heartlessly: "Hey, Brother Liu, do you have any good ideas?"
Looking at his brother-in-law Yan Jiekuang, Liu Yi smiled and said, "Brother, I have a way, don't ask around. You won't starve or freeze." After saying that, he touched his little head.
"Xiaoyi, have you listened to the broadcasts during this period? If this is the case, I'm still very worried!" Xu Damao said worriedly.
Liu Yi took a deep puff of smoke and then slowly exhaled: "I heard on the radio that the food shortage in Russia is severe and they are almost collapsing. Their population death rate has reached 25%. I think the great rejuvenation of our motherland is just around the corner. Our country should take this opportunity to make a fortune from them."
When Xu Damao and Yan Jiekuang heard this, their eyes widened: "Trick Damao? How do you trick Damao?"
Liu Yi continued, "They want to exchange the entire Far East and Siberia for 1 tons of gold and 100 billion tons of grain from China. The gold must be paid in one lump sum, and the grain must be no less than 2 million tons per year. I think our country will definitely make this deal."
Jia Dongxu frowned: "But where can we get so much food and gold in our country?"
Liu Yi smiled slightly: "Well, you and I don't need to worry about this. The national leaders have their own way. Our country can unite with all the brother provinces in the country to collect these grains and gold. In this way, the territory of our motherland will be unprecedentedly large! But we ordinary people have to be prepared to tighten our belts for a long time."
Xu Damao, Yan Jiekuang and Jia Dongxu all nodded in agreement when they heard this. They knew that this was a rare opportunity and the country would definitely not let it go. Thinking of this, Xu Damao lowered his head.
Seeing Xu Damao's expression, Liu Yi patted him on the shoulder. "Just hold on and the days will pass. This is for the benefit of future generations. Look at you, you look so ugly."
Liu Yi returned to his room and thought for a long time. In the middle of the night, when no one was paying attention, he went to Yanjiao. There was a huge hole there. Liu Yi directly poured 300,000 tons of gold from the space, and all the gold collected in the space mine over the years was gone. He also secretly made many so-called treasure maps and sent them to various key departments in a way that no one knew about it. Through this, the government discovered this huge gold treasure. …
In the east of the world, China is undergoing an unprecedented transformation. As the international situation changes, a negotiation concerning the fate of the country begins between China and Russia.
At the negotiation table, the Chinese representatives were determined, knowing the importance of this negotiation. The representatives of Russia seemed a little anxious, facing an unprecedented dilemma. After several rounds of fierce confrontation, the two sides finally reached an agreement that shocked the world: China would exchange 30,000 tons of gold for the Far East and the entire Siberia, and Russian residents who wanted to return home could leave freely, and those who did not want to return home would be converted into Chinese citizens on the spot.
After the news came out, the whole of China was in an uproar. People were discussing this epoch-making deal and were full of expectations for the country's future. The residents of Damao were even more excited. They had long heard that the Chinese government loved its people like its own children, and now that they had the opportunity to become Chinese citizens, they naturally wanted more than anything.
The Chinese army began to enter the territory of Damao in an orderly manner. They had friendly exchanges with the local Damao residents and helped them solve their difficulties in life. Soon, the residents of Damao felt the care and warmth of the Chinese government. They expressed their willingness to stay and become Chinese citizens to build this new home together.
At the same time, the Mao government also began a large-scale food procurement operation. They used the gold in their hands to exchange for food all over the world. Soon, a large amount of food began to be shipped to Mao. With the sufficient supply of food, the contradictions in Mao gradually eased, and the people began to live and work in peace.
In the Far East of China, the new territory is divided into 36 provinces, municipalities and autonomous regions, and a new picture of life is slowly unfolding. The Chinese government has invested a lot of money and resources in infrastructure construction and improving people's livelihood. Schools, hospitals, shopping malls and other public facilities have sprung up, providing convenient living conditions for local residents.
However, just when everything seemed to be going smoothly, troubles came one after another. When negotiating with Russia, the Chinese government promised not to purchase food on the international market. But now that China has accepted more than 10 million Russian residents, the already tight food supply has become even more stretched, which has caused people to panic. Everyone began to try every possible way to hoard food, causing food prices in the market to soar, further exacerbating the problem of food shortages.
Faced with this dilemma, the Chinese government had to re-examine its food policy and crack down on the hoarding of grain. At the same time, it strengthened supervision of the grain market and cracked down on the high-priced grain in the black market. At the same time, it actively cooperated with Southeast Asian countries to seek more channels for grain imports.
Southeast Asia is the only region that is not restricted when my country and Russia negotiate.
