Chapter 1871 Inspection

The marriage proposal has come to an end, and it is not so easy to decide whether to get engaged or get married. The harem was still quarreling, but the arrival of Yuan Mei and others relieved the trouble of the shortage of manpower. One thing Zhou Qingfeng decided to do shortly before launching it—to inspect the whole territory.

Before the Great Cataclysm, Mexico had a population of 150 million, Texas had more than 20 million, and California had more than 40 million. Calculated to a total of more than 200 million. It's just that after the catastrophe, after severe cold, war and all kinds of troubles, there are only 30 to 40 million left.

The reason why wasteland is called wasteland is that it is not an exaggeration to say that "the bones of the dead are exposed in the wild, and there is no chicken crowing for thousands of miles". Many social contradictions disappeared because of the disappearance of the population, and many contradictions became extremely acute because of this.

According to the investigation reports of various departments in the Legion, there are still many problems in the Legion. After he was able to eat enough, problems such as poverty, medical care, cults, discrimination and vendettas began to appear on Zhou Qingfeng's desk.

In the face of a huge ruling population, even if all the senior members of the legion are elites, they still have to worry about the poor quality of grassroots cadres, and various policies cannot be implemented-it is too common for monks with crooked mouths to read wrong scriptures.

"I'm going to the grassroots to take a look. I can't always review the report in the office." Zhou Qingfeng moved as he said, and set off with his mutant guards. Only Li Mingjue was by his side to take care of his life, and no one else let follow.

The elders in the real world are very concerned about Zhou Qingfeng and his Aurora Legion. They have asked him to go to the grassroots to see for himself many times. What a mess. When things explode, it will be too late for you to clean up.

Due to the relatively good agricultural and industrial conditions in northern Mexico, the Aurora Legion settled a large number of people here. The few provinces in the north are influenced by the United States, and all kinds of infrastructure are relatively complete. Simply put, even farming is relatively easy.

Zhou Qingfeng's inspection route also headed north. His first move was to visit the Legion farms near Mexico City, which feed and drink millions of people in the city. It stands to reason that this is also at the feet of the emperor, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

The development of agriculture has a characteristic, the cycle is short. Compared with starting an industry, it takes several years from investment to effective, and agriculture takes half a year from sowing seeds to harvesting. Both labor and capital can be transferred relatively quickly. For the sake of social stability, the Legion has always emphasized rural development.

The state of Guanajuato, north of Mexico City, is a well-known agricultural state in Mexico. Zhou Qingfeng picked a so-called 'model village' here and killed it.

Zhou Qingfeng felt that he would definitely see a lot of problems when he went out to inspect. He first made a gesture to see the good places, and reminded other bad places, so that those officials should rectify them quickly—otherwise they would find all kinds of problems when they went to the grassroots. It's all a problem, and he, the legion commander, also has a dull face.

Without any prior notification, the head of the legion came very suddenly. Saimet, the head of a certain "model village", hastily assembled more than two hundred villagers for inspection. This sudden incident made the villagers very nervous.

"Relax, I just came to see." Zhou Qingfeng waited at the entrance of the village for a while, and then was accompanied by the village chief into the village, "Village chief Saimet, are you a veteran? How is life in the village?"

Zhou Qingfeng could see that the village chief Saimet was trembling nervously, and he couldn't speak smoothly. He didn't mind too much, he comforted the other party as he walked, thinking that no matter what happened later, he would be a little patient.

But wait until Uncle Zhou walks into the village to take a look—fuck, this is a model village? You are a bunch of beggars.

More than 200 villagers stood at the intersection of the village head to welcome the head of the army. They were as excited and curious as the village head Saimet. But their appearance is really miserable, it's okay to wear tattered clothes, it's hard to have a clean one from top to bottom. And the whole village is dirty and not refreshing.

There are very few women in the village, only twenty or thirty. A small number of people gave birth to children, which is the only bright spot. The other men are all unkempt,

The timid ones looked like a bunch of refugees no matter how they looked. If this is considered a model, then what is the situation of the non-model?

As soon as Zhou Qingfeng entered the village, his heart was full of anger. He tried his best to maintain a smile on his face, and turned around to ask the village chief Saimet, "How is the economic situation here?"

Saimet puffed up his chest and said happily: "The condition of our village is not bad, much better than before. Everyone can eat enough, and can also wear warm clothes. Medical teams and government caravans come regularly. Everyone is very contented. If there is any regret, it is that there are too few women in the village, not even black girls."

Zhou Qingfeng walked around the village and was really disappointed. He originally thought that the 'model village' looked like neat houses and buildings, the ground was hardened with cement, there were shops, restaurants, and various public facilities. But what kind of shitty place is that in front of you?

There are two simple dirt roads, and there are disorganized houses on both sides of the road. The materials used to build the house are all kinds of strange, but it has the characteristics of wasteland.

Judging from the report, the situation in the countryside ruled by the Legion is not a small one, but a great one, which is extremely good. Life is booming, life is happy, and the people are as happy as in a honeypot. But the actual situation is not the case at all.

Zhou Qingfeng learned from the inquiry that the medical team only comes once a month, and if there is an emergency on weekdays, they can only get a car and drive to the town for an hour or two. If there is no way to arrange a car, it will be a pain.

As for the government's caravan coming once a week, the time is not fixed. All the necessities in the village are supplied by the caravan. Saimet complained to the caravan, "There are quite a variety of commodities, but the price is too expensive, and we can't afford many of them."

Speaking of the commodity being too expensive, Zhou Qingfeng found out that there was a bigger problem behind it after careful questioning—the income of the villagers was not high, because the yield and quality of agricultural products in the land were poor. And why is the yield and quality of agricultural products poor? Because agricultural support is not in place.

Fertilizers, pesticides, improved seeds, agricultural machinery, all these things have problems. Moreover, not all farmers in the village are good at farming, and even if they are good at it, they often only grow certain types.

For example, Mexico has high corn yields and low wheat yields. However, the legion had a great demand for wheat, and many generations of corn farmers had to grow wheat. It's no wonder that it works so well. The fruit production in Mexico is not small, but what the legion urgently needs now is vegetables, and the supply and demand are completely reversed.

"By the way, where are your cadres in the village?" Zhou Qingfeng suddenly remembered that he had implemented a policy of cadres in the village. Because of the poor ability and low level of the grassroots village chiefs, some people from the city were sent to the countryside to strengthen management. , Some tasks that require technology are also in charge of them.

But where are the village cadres now?

"Run away." The village head of Saimet spread his hands, as if he finally found an opportunity to complain, "Several people came, and they ran away every time they couldn't stay for a few days. The village is too bitter, and they are not used to living in the urban city gone."

fuck you!

Lao Tzu still counted on 'the world is vast, and there is a lot to do', but everyone ran away. This is also a joke.
