Chapter 27: The End of the World Rationing System

Gu Chengyuan didn't say much while standing at the dining table. He just mentioned the progress of the cleaning task and the results obtained. To put it bluntly, he just came to show off his face.

The ancients said: Only tools and names cannot be borrowed from others.

Although Gu Chengyuan did not want to get involved in the tedious management, he could not have a low sense of presence. Reputation is useless in normal times, but it can be fatal at critical moments.

His goal is to create an image of a man who has little to do but has a great reputation and a big fist.

After his appearance, it was Cai Anxin's turn to sit at the table again. Tonight's speech was not a formalistic appearance, but there were indeed major changes to be announced, and they were institutional changes that would affect the interests of everyone.

As the troops cleared the area, more and more survivors were rescued. Now, the number of survivors in Building 22 has increased to nearly 800, and the food consumption has also increased.

The average daily food consumption reaches about one ton. Due to a week-long power outage, vegetables and meat have been basically cut off from the survivors since yesterday, and only the combat personnel are supplied.

Now the daily staple food is still rice, and the only vegetables are potatoes which are easy to store, with some pickles and hot sauce.

Now Cai Anxin and others have developed a new supply system, which has been approved by Gu Chengyuan. It will be implemented in the entire shelter area of ​​the West Campus of Yezhou University and will enter a rationing system.

For the benefit of the majority and for long-term sustainability, this system must be implemented even if we know that it will cause dissatisfaction or even chaos among survivors.

The number of survivors is still relatively small now. Although normal supplies can be supported, it is precisely because there are so few people and the ship is small that it is easier to turn around.

We must plan ahead and design a good system. Otherwise, when the number of people increases to thousands, tens of thousands, or hundreds of thousands in the future, there will be great resistance when we cut benefits at that time!

You can't expect most people to have a global perspective and awareness of the overall situation. People are short-sighted, and most of them only think based on their own position and interests.

Just like a sentence that Gu Chengyuan often saw on the Internet before the end of the world, "My monthly salary is three thousand, it's none of my business."

Although it is necessary, Gu Chengyuan will definitely not play the role of the bad guy, so Cai Anxin, the director of the survivor management committee, will play the bad guy.

To deal with possible emergencies and the very few emotionally agitated survivors.

For today's meal, the soldiers did not take off their gear and came to eat with live ammunition, ready to see blood.

When Cai Anxin was reading the statement, she changed from her usual gentle smile to everyone. Her face was cold and her tone was firm, without any intention of evading or asking for advice.

Because he knows that the reform is not a dinner party, if you are not careful, there will be bloodshed! The softer the attitude, the more people will be lucky, and the stronger the counterattack may be.

"The reform of the material distribution system this time is mainly about changing the treatment of personnel. From the previous situation where everyone ate from the same pot, and those who could eat could eat more, and those who could not eat could eat less, it has changed to distribution according to work, and treatment is matched with contribution."

"This reform is for two reasons. One is to reduce the logistical burden and increase the survival rate of most people! The end of the world has come, this is obvious, but how long it will end and when it will end, there is no answer!"

"So in order to ensure long-term survival, we must be thrifty and fight a protracted war! We can't eat up tomorrow's life-saving food for today's enjoyment! Therefore, it is inevitable that your basic treatment standards will be reduced!"

"The second is for fairness! Absolute egalitarianism is the greatest unfairness! Those who can't do it don't do it, and those who can do it work their ass off! In the end, the treatment is still the same, what kind of situation is this? Who is willing to work?"

At this point, the kitchen staff in white uniforms at the cafeteria window couldn't help but nod or look in agreement.

They are the most tired among the survivors now. Just because they have relevant work experience before, they get up earlier than the chickens every day to prepare breakfast and sleep later than the dogs to prepare ingredients for the next day.

The other survivors were either sleeping or bragging, and some were so bored that they even complained about their cooking skills.

Damn, the treatment is obviously the same, why do we have to work like slaves?

"Some people may question that we are all victims of the disaster and we should do our best to protect everyone! Carry forward the humanitarian spirit! But everyone! The world has changed profoundly!"

"Chief Gu pointed out at a recent meeting that the end of the world is no longer a disaster! It is the daily life that everyone must adapt to in the future! Therefore, our shelter's disaster relief-style operation mode must also make corresponding changes!"

"In order to survive in the apocalypse, you must abandon the mentality of victims. Don't wait for rescue or for things to be taken from you! You are no longer victims! You must become producers like you were before the apocalypse!"

"We have to be self-sufficient! Otherwise, who are we waiting for to send us supplies? Zombies? Rescue organizations? Or just waiting for them to drop from the sky?"

"Everyone must make use of your own strengths and create value within our existing survival structure! On a larger scale, it is for the survival of mankind, and on a smaller scale, it is for yourselves!"

"If the skin is gone, how will the hair be attached?"

After Cai Anxin finished speaking, the whole place was silent. The survivors had different expressions. Some were confused, some were terrified, and some were indignant...

But no one has come out yet and everyone is waiting for the specific policies to come.

"Now I will announce the specific salary adjustments! They will be posted on the notice boards in the cafeteria and dormitories later. If you can't remember them, you can go and take a look!"

The total amount of food rations for ordinary survivors (i.e. those who are not responsible for any shelter staff) is 500g per day.

Contributory survivors (i.e. those who undertake work tasks assigned by the shelter) are similar to chefs and managers, and the total amount of food rations per day is 2000g.

High-risk survivors (i.e. those who fight with the army and provide logistical support) receive the same daily treatment as combatants.

High-tech survivors (those who can enhance the overall strength of the shelter) receive the same daily treatment as combatants.

Note: Infants can apply for special nutritional products such as milk powder and milk, and children under ten years old will receive the same treatment as contributing survivors.

Today's treatment stratification is a simple distinction based on contribution. The treatment of those who do not contribute can only meet the minimum living standard, and it is definitely impossible for them to have enough to eat. This is also to achieve the purpose of reducing parasites through institutional design.

Use benefits to drive these people to move. Otherwise, they will just lie in the dormitory every day doing nothing, sleep when they are full, eat when they are full, and go to the gymnasium for entertainment when they are bored. Except for the lack of mobile phone network, wouldn’t their life be better than before the end of the world?

What has become of Gu Chengyuan's tribe? Are these people slaves and farmhands? Are they here to serve the master?

Therefore, it is very necessary to make stratification, and the status of soldiers should be subtly raised to the highest level through special treatment!

This is also the consensus of Gu Chengyuan, Cai Anxin and others!

As for children, although there is no short-term benefit, what is more important is long-term investment. It is impossible for the human race to end with one's generation. If it wants to survive, it has to depend on the next generation.

There are deep considerations behind choosing the age of ten as the dividing line. Children under the age of ten are relatively fragile, and the level of medical care in the last days has plummeted. It is better to ensure that they have a relatively comfortable life and reduce the infant mortality rate.

After they are ten years old, start letting them have some exposure to the beatings of the end of the world. This period is the golden period for shaping their world outlook, values ​​and outlook on life, so as to prevent them from becoming arrogant and cultivating a sense of crisis. Don’t take the treatment they received before the age of ten for granted!

Once this system is introduced, I wonder if there will still be children who always want to grow up.
