At this time, Song Jiefang knocked on the door and walked in. He wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at his watch and said:

"There are still ten minutes left at six o'clock. Today is over. I suggest that we hold a meeting immediately and make arrangements overnight."

He came back from outside and had been patrolling several streets with a few cadres.

Qin Kunlun has worked in Sanshui City for more than ten years. He is experienced and full of confidence. He said:

"Don't worry, the police station and the joint defense team have already taken action, and maintaining order will not be a problem.

As long as it doesn't cause a stampede and cause chaos, it's not a big deal."

"I have seen it with my own eyes. This is entirely due to the large-scale events organized by our city every year. The police station and the joint defense team are really at their fingertips."

"Yes! Our city has had to deal with large-scale gatherings too many times, and comrades have become immune to it and are busy but not chaotic.

Blocking is worse than sparing. The next step is to mobilize party members and cadres to take to the streets to publicize and call on everyone not to believe the rumors. The reason why the prices of famous cigarettes and wines have increased is because they are not necessities of life.

Prices of daily necessities such as matches, salt, soap, washing powder, soy sauce, etc. will not increase."

"The price won't increase? Do you believe it?"

"You have to believe it even if you don't believe it."

"It is impossible for the people to have such a consciousness as you. Their disbelief will aggravate panic and make irrational purchases."

"It doesn't matter. I issued an order during the meeting tonight to implement purchase restrictions on some commodities that are closely related to people's lives and supply them with tickets."

"Returning to the era of planned economy? Have our reforms failed?"

"How can reform be smooth sailing? It is inevitable to encounter some setbacks.

The implementation of purchase restrictions to purchase some goods with household registration is only a temporary measure, and it can be canceled after a period of time when the people's mood stabilizes."

Song Jiefang said seriously: "I support your decision and am willing to co-sign the purchase restriction order."

"This is not an instruction from my superiors. It's my own decision. I may make mistakes and be held accountable!"

"I'm not afraid, because I think we can't hesitate at this time. The destruction of the market order will definitely cause some families to be really short of daily necessities and unable to buy them. Then it will be out of control."

"To prevent people from taking risks due to the pressure of life, I decided to implement purchase restrictions to ensure that everyone has no shortage of daily necessities."

"Haha... We have the same starting point. Our purpose is to maintain stability. We have no guilt in our hearts. Why should we be afraid of accountability?"

"Shuangli, I didn't expect you, a college student, to have the same temper as me, a soldier."

"My old man is an old revolutionary. He has three gunshot wounds on his body, two of which were caused by 38-year-old Gai."

"Haha, a tiger's father has no dog's son, I will make you my friend."

Due to the high degree of unity among the leadership of Sanshui City, an emergency meeting was held that night when the rush to buy began, and a purchase restriction order was issued on the spot, which was strictly enforced early the next morning.

This purchase restriction order was very loose and basically encountered no resistance from the public.

Because this is not to restrict normal consumption, but to restrict irrational shopping and strictly control hoarding.

For example, if one account buys two packs of laundry detergent a month, two bars of soap can satisfy the need, but if one wants to buy a box, it cannot be done.

If a family really purchases the limited purchase quantities of several major categories of daily necessities on a monthly basis, it will definitely not be used up in a month.

The two main commodities, grain and oil, do not need to be specially controlled. The reason is that grain stamps and oil stamps have not been canceled in 1988. They are still planned materials and must be purchased with the grain book.

In fact, grain and oil still adopt a rationing system, which played a decisive role in this panic buying wave.

According to the Chinese concept, if there is food at home, there is no need to panic. Shortage of other things can be overcome. But if there is no rice for cooking, there is no way to overcome it.

Throughout history, as long as food prices do not skyrocket and people have nothing to eat, social order can basically be maintained.

The supply of goods in Sanshui City is sufficient, and too much of the people's money in Sanshui City is spent on buying commercial houses, or lending it to relatives at home to buy houses, so there is tens of millions less spare money.

Therefore, the panic buying in Sanshui City is not terrible.

In addition, on the second day after the rush to buy, all cadres in Sanshui City began to go to the streets early in the morning to publicize, and Song Jiefang and Qin Kunlun were still in Bakou Square to answer the masses' questions in public.

Qin Kunlun, Song Jiefang and other city leaders assured tens of thousands of people that Sanshui City can fully meet the needs of the people's daily necessities and maintain price stability.

It was pointed out that the reason for the introduction of planned supply regulations is that some people believe in rumors and are prepared to buy daily necessities at one time that can last for more than ten years.

The country's supply of commodities is sufficient to meet the needs of the masses, but if the vast majority of the masses buy more than they need for ten years at a time, it will definitely disrupt the market order in the short term.

As a result, some families have not been able to buy daily necessities such as soap, washing powder, and salt for more than ten years. As a result, some families cannot buy these commodities, which directly affects their lives.

City leaders get close to the masses and answer their confusion through dialogue, which is very effective.

The staff of the cultural center also made up a jingle, three and a half sentences long, and played an allegro to appeal to the public not to buy a bunch of things they would not use temporarily.

Huang Daozhou, Zhang Fangfen, Qian Guodong, Yuan Datou, Huang Daowu, Wang Zhongren, etc. all used their influence to convene workers' meetings to call on employees not to believe rumors and shop rationally, which also had immediate results.

If the mainstream people's thoughts remain unwavering, they will not be able to stir up any disturbance.

As long as party members and cadres truly play a pioneering role, the people will feel at ease.

Sanshui City's mobilization power was unparalleled. The next day, from residents' groups in neighborhood committees to various enterprises and agencies, they widely publicized that the country could guarantee supply and maintain price stability, and advised everyone not to buy anything that they could not use temporarily.

Therefore, the mood of the people in Sanshui City became much more stable in the afternoon of the next day, and they began to line up in an orderly manner to buy goods.

Immediately, various state-owned stores and supply and marketing cooperatives began to replenish goods. Within two hours, the shelves of various state-owned stores and supply and marketing cooperatives that were empty were filled with goods.

As long as people in Sanshui City have their household registration books, they can buy daily necessities and be satisfied.

Gradually, people who originally did not need to buy soap, matches, salt, and soy sauce were no longer willing to spend time queuing.

In the next few days, fewer and fewer people lined up to shop, and market order began to return.

Sanshui City was able to respond calmly, of course, thanks to the prophet Huang Han who gave advance guidance, so each unit's goods were fully prepared.

If the masses see that the normal goods on the shelves of state-owned stores are very few or simply empty, the panic will definitely not stop.

Seeing the dazzling array of items on the shelves, my mood was completely different.

However, many counties and cities were not prepared at all, and were swept away by the sudden rush to buy out all their daily necessities.

The salespersons and cadres of supply and marketing cooperatives and commercial bureaus have the convenience of their positions. When they find that daily necessities are about to run out, they all go to the back door to buy them.

This behavior aggravated panic and even led to crowds surrounding commerce bureau officials.

Some people follow the trend and make irrational purchases, but some people do have needs.

They queued up for hours with money, unable to buy urgently needed goods, and their emotions suddenly lost control...

On the third day, people from neighboring counties and cities began to pour into Sanshui City because they heard that there was no shortage of goods in the state-owned stores in Sanshui City.

There is no harm without comparison. People from surrounding counties and cities who came to Sanshui City only felt that their eyes were bright.

Why, this place is very orderly. Although there are people queuing up in front of major stores, they are all calm, chatting and joking, and no one is arguing.

The shelves in stores look the same as before.

At this time, there is one thing that shows value, and that is Sanshui City household registration.

No matter rural or urban people, as long as they hold a household registration book, they can buy restricted goods, and the quantity of goods is enough to live on.

I specially came from a nearby county or city to snap up some, but I'm sorry, I can't buy them.

They were not all left empty-handed. People with relatives in Sanshui City were able to get some commodities such as soap, salt, and matches.

It's just that the quantity can't be large, it's all planned by the relatives in Sanshui City who saved the money and gave some of it to the relatives.

At this time, the people in Sanshui City were filled with a sense of superiority, and the people in other counties and cities were scolding in their hearts, saying that people deserve to be compared to others, and goods to be compared should be thrown away.

The places used to be pretty much the same, so why is there such a big difference in the past two years?

It has ensured the supply of daily necessities for local residents.

What should businesses doing business in Sanshui City do without a registered permanent residence?

Easy to handle!

Go to your local neighborhood committee with your business license to apply for a temporary shopping certificate, which can still meet the supply of daily necessities.

What should I do if I am not a small boss but a wage earner?

It’s easy to handle!

Then the employer must provide proof and go to the police station to apply for a temporary residence permit, which can be purchased with the temporary residence permit.

Sanshui City also implements temporary residence permit management, which is not free and costs 12 yuan a year, which is equivalent to one yuan a month.

Don't underestimate this number. It is estimated that 40,000 to 50,000 foreigners will need to apply for temporary residence permits in 2088, and the Public Security Bureau can obtain 500,000 to 600,000.

Based on the calculation that the non-staff personnel of the Public Security Bureau need to be paid 1,200 yuan a year, this money can hire 400 to 500 temporary workers. Only when people are available can the police be dispatched in a timely manner.

Moreover, each merchant will pay a joint security fee in accordance with regulations, starting from 240 yuan per year. The specific amount depends on the business location and business area.

Huang Han supports these, because no matter how hard it is, the police cannot be punished. If the police are seriously unbalanced, social order will be destroyed quickly.

Maintaining law and order depends on everyone. It is understandable that you have the money and strength to contribute. As long as you grasp the principle of fairness and do not favor one over the other, businesses will basically not resist.

Police officers receive bonuses, extra night shift pay, subsidies, and overtime pay. Of course, they are highly motivated.

Huang Han deeply believes that only those with a passion for work can better serve the people and does not expect anyone to make selfless contributions.

Therefore, the fees charged by the Sanshui City Public Security Bureau are still quite high, but the prices are clearly marked.

For example, in places where security cases are prone to occur, such as dance halls, video halls, billiard halls, etc., the number of police inspections will increase, and the joint security defense fees collected will also increase accordingly.
