Chapter 2339 How difficult is people's livelihood
"Governor, what is the current food supply on the planet?"
When he heard Soshiyang ask about this, Weilaiton hesitated for a moment and replied cautiously:
"At present, the food supply in all nests and settlements is basically stable, and there is no one for the time being..."
Soshiyang shook his head helplessly.
"I want to hear the truth, Governor Weilaiton, I am not an imperial bureaucrat who sits in the office all year round. Not long ago, I led an expedition involving hundreds of billions of people. I will probably know what the world is like at a glance."
"this..."
Weilaiton looked at the planet's Minister of Interior.
"Secretary Beverly, you should be clearer about this."
Thrown out by the Governor of the Planet, the Minister of the Interior, who was over 50 years old and almost completely bald, thrust his cheeks on his cheeks, then took out a sweat towel and wiped his forehead, stood up and whispered in a voice that could be clearly heard by Soshiyang:
"Return to the commander of the battle, 76% of the planet's entire food supply chain currently relies on imports, mainly based on various organic foods, synthetic starch and protein blocks, which can basically meet the survival needs of the planet's residents."
“What is the per capita food consumption.”
Seeing Soshiyang ask about such a professional project, the Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs suddenly burst into tears.
Soshiyang shook his head and said:
"No need to be nervous, I won't hold anyone accountable here. I just want to know the truth because it's related to how the team will arrange the food supply chain and food subsidy plans in the future."
Hearing this, Minister Beverly breathed a sigh of relief, and then his voice rose a little.
"At present, the planet is probably...you know, it is difficult for the bottom nester to enter the statistics, we can only use the method of sampling survey..."
"Tell me the result directly."
"In the last statistics, the annual per capita food consumption in several major nests was about 106.95 kg."
After hearing this, Soshiyang closed his eyes and said nothing. The people around him, including the Governor of the Planet, were silent and even more angry and did not dare to breathe.
More than ten seconds later, Soshiyang whispered:
"Average 300 grams is less than 300 grams a day..."
If he remembers correctly, before the expedition began, the per capita food consumption of Nassen IV exceeded 350 kg, and it was a relatively accurate number. Although this number contains a considerable number of "rough-processed" or "unprocessed" foods such as grains, vegetables, meat, etc., even if the calories are only calculated, it is far higher than the standard of Nassen V.
After all, Nassen No. 5 supplies calorie starch, and eating only 300 grams a day is difficult to maintain high-intensity work, not to mention that this is the average... The actual consumption of vulnerable groups like children is probably less, but it is probably unknown whether the Ministry of Internal Affairs will count it.
“What about the health of residents?”
"...At present, except for residents above the upper nest, the overall health of the planet is quite...good, there are no large-scale epidemics, and some areas speculate based on data... about 19.3% of the population is in a long-term malnutrition state, and the malnutrition rate of children is...it is 24.3%.
After listening, Soshiyang did not show any anger or surprise, but just said something lightly.
"At least you still counted it."
Hearing this sentence, many people, including the Governor of the Planet, showed shame, but only they themselves knew how much they were sincere and how much they were false.
Then Soshiyang raised his hand.
"Let's go ahead, I want to know the real numbers. Don't worry, I can promise that I will not blame the past. The inquiry here is just to know the truth, because only by knowing the actual situation can we formulate appropriate policy plans, and this is the purpose."
"Yes...yes, according to the data statistics from the previous fifty years, the crude birth rate is 38.8%, the crude mortality rate is 6.1%, the natural growth rate is about 3.11%, and the average life expectancy is 43.6 years. The main factors causing population death are various lung diseases, about 28%, the second is overwork and sudden death, about 14%, and the third is accidents and unnatural death cases, about 11%. In addition, the medical system in each nest is very loaded, and many medical facilities require maintenance, which causes some patients to wait until 20-50 days before they receive preliminary treatment, which is also a reason."
Soshiyang snorted lowly. What the other party should be telling the truth, but it may not be the truth. The statistics of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are very doubtful. For example, as far as Soshiyang knows, even the "scenic" No. 4 is around 9%. How could such a world be only 6.1%?
Of course, demographic statistics itself is an extremely huge project, especially for the bottom nest of the imperial administrative agency, which almost does not exist. Administrative power cannot be extended at all, so naturally it cannot be counted.
This is also a problem that the empire cannot solve since its establishment. It has a population and size that is ranked among the top in the Galaxy, but it cannot exert one-tenth of its total size, and it is even worse than Greenskin's ability in mobilization (the boss of Greenskin can at least mobilize most of his manpower and material resources with his roar). Most people just "living" within the empire, but they are actually not within the scope of the empire's rule and management.
This also made Soshiyan realize that if everyone's value can be fully utilized and everyone can be included in management, then even the energy of a galaxy may not be weaker than a star zone that adopts extensive management like the empire.
“What is the average working hours for workers now?”
Hearing Soshyan ask about this, Minister Beverly replied in a low voice:
"We strictly follow the eight set by the Mechanical Commission-"
"I said it, to be honest, the truth will not lead to any punishment, but lies will definitely be."
Soshiyang's tone suddenly became heavier in the last few words, and the Minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs immediately replied tremblingly:
"Currently...the average working hours of various mines, factories and assembly lines...the average...is about 14 hours..."
When the day on Nassen 5 is the standard 20 Terra, it means that people are working nearly three-quarters of the day, and this is still the average. Soshiyan is very clear about the concept of "average" in the interior department. Perhaps those supervisors who only work for 6 hours also counted it. In fact, the number is likely to exceed 15 hours.
"I see."
Soshiyang waved his hand, and the Minister of the Interior returned to his position with relief. At this time, his back was already soaked with sweat.
"What is the current security situation on the planet?"
When he asked this, the legal marshal walked out without the need for the governor to speak. The old law enforcement officer with white hair but high spirits first gave a sky eagle salute to Soshiyang, and then said in a deep voice:
"Reported to the commander of Alexei, the current average crime rate of Nesson V per million population is 0.477%, of which major criminal crimes account for 29.6%, and crimes involving heresy, incitement and other extortion crimes account for 10.8%. On average, 1.2 million people receive different degrees of labor punishment every year. In addition, an average of 260,000 people receive lobectomy and masturbation punishment every year. At present, no obvious heresy and alien threats have been found on the planet."
Standard imperial high-pressure law enforcement, but the other party's work is beyond reproach, because this is what the Ministry of Justice has to do.
"The work of the Legal Department is doing very well, but the activities of gene stealers in the entire star field have been flooding recently, so we must strictly guard against it. Once this alien takes root in the nest, it is extremely difficult to remove. The Legal Department's next work focus must be shifted to the inspection of foreign ships to ensure that no alien infection will spread to the planetary ground."
