Chapter 1644 The disaster worsens
At that time, a situation will definitely occur, that is, the prices of basic supplies will skyrocket, and wealthy families who can afford it will hoard a large amount of supplies, while those people who really need life-saving supplies will not be able to buy supplies at all. If this extreme situation occurs, If the cold weather lasts for a long time, people will definitely die, and there will be widespread riots and social instability.
Compared to that situation, Qin Feng would rather bear political responsibility himself.
After Qin Feng personally presided over the meeting of the Materials Management Committee, that night, the Materials Management Committee led by Executive Deputy County Magistrate Cao Changsheng and Discipline Inspection Commission Secretary Zhu Dongliang began to take action.
Accompanied by the police, each township, sub-district and department contacted the owners of all rice factories, supermarkets, grain and oil stores and canteens in their respective jurisdictions overnight, and registered all the basic daily necessities in the jurisdiction. All basic daily necessities from the store were taken away, and the inventory of rice factories and supermarkets was registered and stored in warehouses. They were guarded by government personnel and were strictly prohibited from selling.
Early the next morning, all basic living necessities in the county were stopped being sold, and were distributed uniformly by each community and village according to the rationing principle based on the population of each household. The price was sold to the people at a purchase price lower than the selling price in shopping malls.
Since then, Yi'an County has implemented comprehensive control over all basic living supplies in the county and implemented a rationing system.
It sounds simple, but it is very troublesome to do. For this task, all the cadres in the county were mobilized and worked for a whole day, and it was not completed until the afternoon of the next day.
The effect of this was immediate. There were serious looting of supplies in Xiquan City and other counties, but the entire Yi'an County was calm.
Of course, supervision is very important. Almost all members of the Discipline Inspection Commission led by Zhu Dongliang are dispatched to supervise the entire material management and sending and receiving process. As long as any illegal operation is found, people will be arrested immediately and dealt with seriously.
The first is to protect supplies, and the second is to protect transportation. This is not difficult for Yi'an County. Although the temperature continues to be low and the rain, snow and freezing weather continue, because Yi'an County has continued to eliminate The ice operation lasted for several days, which made the daily routine of de-icing easy.
Qin Feng has only one request, which is to ensure smooth traffic to the village level at all times.
The third focus is to help people in need.
All work is carried out around these three points.
The first day it was just a difficulty in transporting supplies, but on the next day news came that due to the continued low temperature, rain and snow, the ice was getting thicker and thicker, and the supply transport channels in the entire Xiquan area had been completely blocked, and all supplies could not enter. coming.
All the roads in and out of Xiquan have been frozen, not to mention Yi'an and several other counties. The roads in and out of several counties under the jurisdiction of Xiquan have all been frozen, turning them into isolated islands. All supplies No one can get in.
In addition to Yi'an, several other counties have experienced serious looting of supplies, and several bloody conflicts have occurred. Moreover, a large number of people lack basic necessities. As the roads in each county are all frozen, , the government’s idea of doing its best to mobilize materials to protect the people in need cannot be implemented.
These counties are desperately trying to carry out ice-breaking operations to restore the main traffic arteries in their jurisdictions, but because the ice lasts too long, the ice is too thick, and the difficulty of de-icing operations is too high, it cannot be implemented on a large scale.
The situation in each county is very critical.
The province mobilized the armed police force to participate in opening up the entrance and exit channels of Xiquan, and the central government also mobilized nearby troops to participate in de-icing operations. Only by opening up the access channel for supplies in Xiquan can relief supplies enter Xiquan City.
The disaster situation became more and more serious, and a large number of people died in Xiquan City. From the province to the central government, everyone paid close attention to this matter, and the news reported it every day.
Originally, Xia Junhua decided to come to Yi'an to inspect the cold relief work, but due to the impassable roads, he couldn't get in at all.
On this day, Qin Feng once again held a temporary standing committee meeting to study the deployment of cold-fighting and disaster relief work.
This temporary standing committee has been meeting every two or three days recently, mainly to understand the latest cold-fighting and disaster relief situation and make targeted new deployments.
Because this kind of temporary standing committee is an internal meeting, it is not so serious.
Qin Feng sat on a chair and smoked a cigarette, listening to Cao Changsheng's report: "The latest forecast from the Meteorological Bureau shows that low temperature weather will continue for ten days to about half a month. This is very bad news. Although we have implemented a material rationing system , but we only have three days’ worth of supplies. If the relief supplies don’t arrive within three days, our people will run out of food.”
Cao Changsheng was worried, and everyone felt very heavy. This situation had already occurred in other places in Xiquan. These places were now in chaos, and it was said that many people died.
