My Italian: Chapter 564 War food

The vigorous certification operation in Italy is in full swing. Under the guidance (coercion) of the government, a large number of people have started to apply for their own residence permits.

Of course, Carlo, who is behind the scenes, also knows about the lively certification operation in China.

However, since the residence permit was being processed in an orderly manner, there was no need for him to devote too much energy. Now he still had one more thing to do.

Empoli is a small town in the western suburbs of Florence, only 24 kilometers away from Florence. In addition to the railway connecting Florence and the Port of Pisa, there is also the Arno River that passes through Florence, flows through Empoli and arrives at the Port of Pisa. It can be said that the traffic in this town is quite convenient. The Italian Grain and Material Reserve Bureau also values ​​this point. A few years ago, the Empoli Grain Reserve Depot affiliated to the Bureau was built in the town.

The depot covers an area of ​​19.7 hectares and has 31 medium and large storage warehouses, which can store 300,000 tons of various grains when fully loaded. The library employs more than 300 people and has its own fire brigade. It is one of the 18 super-large storage warehouses under the Grain and Material Reserve Bureau, which is mainly responsible for ensuring food security in Tuscany and its surrounding areas in central Italy.

And today, all staff of the library are dispatched to prepare for the inspection of His Majesty the King.

"Your Majesty, this way please."

Without letting the person in charge of the warehouse come forward, Argolo, the director of the Food and Material Reserve Bureau, greeted Carlo's arrival in person.

"Algro, you have a heart."

For the director of the Food and Material Reserve Bureau, Carlo agrees with the work of the other party. This Bureau of Grain and Material Reserves was built up slowly with one hand and one foot, and the Bureau has not left behind the work of food reserves over the years.

In addition, the director is also very capable, taking advantage of the price difference of grain at different times, and adopting the strategy of selling high and buying low, so that the grain and other material reserves of the Food and Material Reserve Bureau have always been higher than the progress of. Of course, Carlo did not treat Director Alglo badly. Although it sounds like he is only a director, his actual rank is only half a rank lower than that of the cabinet ministers, which can be regarded as a high position.

Of course, the next protagonist will not be him, because the person in charge of the warehouse is here. "Good afternoon, Your Majesty. I am Copeland, the person in charge of the Empoli Grain Reserve Warehouse. Let me explain the situation of our warehouse to Your Majesty."

Facing this humble Copeland, of course Carlo would not refuse, after all, the other party knew the situation of the warehouse better.

"Your Majesty, we currently have a total of 193,000 tons of grain reserves, accounting for 64.3% of our warehouse energy storage. Next, according to the bureau's plan, our warehouse will complete the established task of 300,000 tons of grain within two years.

During this period, our Empoli warehouse has been exchanging old products for new ones every year according to the reservation plan. Among them, the storage period of wheat is three years, the storage period of corn is one and a half years, the storage period of soybean is two and a half years, and the storage period of rice is three years.

Our warehouse will check the storage warehouse every month to ensure its dry and ventilated conditions, and ensure the storage conditions of the grain. At the same time, we will also renovate the stored grain according to the plan, and send the grain that has been stored for more than half of the time to the market for sale, so as to ensure that the stored grain in the warehouse is within a reasonable storage time. "

Along the way, Copeland, the warehouse manager, introduced the basic situation of their warehouse to Carlo. Moreover, Copeland's introduction was very capable, allowing Carlo to understand the basic situation of the warehouse in the shortest time.

It can be seen that this person is still capable. The behavior of meeting him just now should be due to the fear and nervousness of seeing a big man. Now with his speech, he looks much better.

Then the warehouse manager took Carlo and his party to check the food reserves and other aspects.

"Your Majesty, this is granary No. 13. Its main function is to store wheat. The warehouse has a capacity of 12,000 cubic meters and can store 18,000 tons of wheat. It is currently the largest granary in our warehouse."

"Your Majesty, at present, the shortest interval between our granaries is 80 meters, and the longest interval is 150 meters. There is a water reservoir next to each granary, which can deal with emergencies."

This is absolutely true. The granary is most afraid of fire. Once it catches fire, the stored grain will be wiped out. When the granary is on fire, in addition to the external threat of open flames, the biggest threat comes from the grain itself.

Friends who have stayed in the countryside know that the food itself needs continuous respiration, and the food needs to have sufficient ventilation, otherwise it will lead to heat accumulation, temperature rise, and finally spontaneous combustion.

Then Copeland introduced to Carlo the management rules of the reserve warehouse and the transfer of personnel, so that Carlo, the king, also knew how difficult it is to manage a reserve warehouse without any mistakes.

"Your Majesty, we currently store 117,000 tons of wheat, 49,000 tons of corn, and 27,000 tons of soybeans in our warehouse. In addition, we also have about 2,000 tons of rice, barley, and oats in reserve."

It can be seen from this that the Grain Reserve Bureau mainly reserves staple food. In fact, this is true. For food reserves, the most important thing is to store the staple food that the people need. After all, what it undertakes is the responsibility of life-saving food, as long as it can ensure that it is full, as for eating well, there is nothing that can help. After all, Italy's finances are not rich, and there is not so much money to increase the types of reserves.

It took Carlo nearly three hours to inspect the entire reserve before he had a deeper understanding of the grain reserves. Of course, Copeland, the man in charge, is a good narrator.

When Carlo finished his visit and was about to get in the car, he saw Director Argolo walking forward. "Your Majesty, I have something to think about and report to you."

Director Argolo's words made Carlo stop in his tracks. "Then get in the car and talk, you and I will ride in the same car."

Following Carlo's words, Chief Argolo was very honored to be the third guest of Carlo's car. The first two are the current and former prime ministers respectively. It can be said that Director Argolo is very famous.

Looking at the somewhat nervous Director Argolo, Carlo asked very understandingly. "I was just about to leave, and you said something happened, so it must be inconvenient to say it to the public. My car is not bad and relatively closed, so it's convenient to tell me now."

Facing the king's question~www.mtlnovel.com~ Arglo said after taking a deep breath. "Your Majesty, according to the original plan, we should purchase 650,000 tons this year and increase our grain reserves to 6.4 million tons. However, the amount allocated to us by the Ministry of Finance this year is too little, so we can only increase the amount by 300,000 tons. , It simply cannot meet the requirement of 6.4 million tons.”

Well, now Carlo understands why Argolo dare not say it publicly. If the Minister of Finance hears this, he will be crushed to death.

Of course, he also understood the purpose of Arglo's complaint, but it was impossible for Carlo to give him an answer now.

"I know about this, wait until I ask about the situation."

Although this sounds like an official tone, Carlo really can't give him an answer now, at least he needs to understand the situation before he can give it. How can one make a decision directly by only listening to one party's remarks? It's not that a three-year-old child is so naive.

Argolo was satisfied with Carlo's answer, as long as the king knew about the situation. At that time, no matter what the situation is, he can at least explain something.
