Chapter four hundred and sixty-one choking on food
Just as the 5th Infantry Division and the 103rd Infantry Division were rampaging through Shanxi, the people of northern Shaanxi, who had signed an agreement with Chahar and opened the border checkpoints, suddenly found that there seemed to be an influx of goods overnight.
Not only have they seen these products, they have never even heard of many of them. For example, those soaps that can be used to make your body smell good after taking a bath, beautiful clothes, mirrors that can see a person's hair clearly, etc.
A light match, a fragrant filter cigarette, all of this can dazzle a person's eyes.
Not only young girls and young people like it, but also the older uncles and aunts like it very much. These things are not expensive. Even if some things are a bit expensive, they can't afford them now. But it doesn't matter, the merchants from Chahar
It's very generous. They can hire a large number of helpers if they need to. The wages are paid on a daily basis, and they will not deduct their wages. They now make more money in one day than in half a month before.
The land in northern Shaanxi is relatively poor, and the farmers are also very hard-working. In the past, the money they earned for most of the year was only enough to buy a 60-caliber mortar shell. Now it is better. Since the large inflow of Chahar's commodities, Chahar's
The gold yuan coupons issued also began to circulate in northern Shaanxi.
This situation is exactly what Su Tong is happy to see. Using economic and financial means to strengthen the connection between the two places is a common method used by various countries in later generations. However, in this era, no one has realized the power of financial warfare.
Su Tong still clearly remembers that the once arrogant polar bear was killed by the Americans in this way. Of course, Su Tong did not have the bad intentions of the Americans in later generations, but it was still necessary to be just in case.
.
Our ancestors have a good saying: It is easy to change from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to change from luxury to frugality. Farmers and people who have tasted the benefits will live a good life and get used to those good things that they have never seen before.
Some of Hal's unique culture subtly entered their hearts.
In just over a month, the changes in this originally barren land were visible to the naked eye. In a short period of time, the word "migrant workers" spread to every corner of northern Shaanxi, facing a large influx of people from all walks of life.
With a wide variety of products, people's minds have become more active, and working to make money has become a fashionable word.
In a dilapidated earthen kiln, two middle-aged women were chatting together.
"Aunt Chunhua, your man must have made a lot of money a few days ago when he went to help those businessmen who came from the nickname Zhangjiakou to unload trucks."
The middle-aged woman named Chunhua smiled honestly: "It's nothing, I just make money for my work, and I can only earn one yuan of gold yuan coupons a day."
"Hehe, Aunt Chunhua, it depends on what you said. Your family earns more money in a day now than in half a month before. Think about it, now one yuan can buy twenty catties of rice and thirty catties of wheat. You guys
My family is making a lot of money now.”
"Aunt Xiaojuan, your family is not bad at all. Didn't he pull six feet of floral cloth and make a dress for each of you two?"
"Yes, my wife hasn't made new clothes for my wife and me for several years. Now I finally made some money. I guess that damn guy has a conscience and he finally knows how to buy new clothes for us and my wife." Xiaojuan
Aunt said with a lot of pride in her words.
"Also, our life is much better now. If we can join Chahar's household registration, we will fall into a honeypot." Aunt Xiaojuan beamed when she mentioned this matter, "I heard that Chahar
What kind of social insurance and minimum security do people in Haar have? Do you know what minimum security is? It means that if you do nothing, the government will give you a sum of money every month, which is enough for your food and clothing."
"What kind of government not only doesn't want us to pay taxes, but actually wants to give us money." Aunt Chunhua opened her mouth so wide that she could stuff a duck egg. In Aunt Chunhua's eyes, since the beginning of the world, it has been a matter of course that farmers have to pay the imperial grain and national taxes.
, I have never heard of the government giving money to these idiots just because they have nothing to do.
"It's true." Aunt Xiaojuan said proudly: "My husband's third aunt's family went to Chahar a few years ago. A few years ago, the third aunt's family was extremely poor. I didn't expect that after going to Chahar, the old hen
I've turned into a duck, but now I'm shaking. The day before yesterday, my third aunt came back to visit me, and she brought a lot of rare things. These are what they told me."
"Well, your third aunt and your family are so lucky." Aunt Chunhua was filled with envy, which greatly satisfied Aunt Xiaojuan's vanity.
As the saying goes: Don't be afraid of not knowing the goods, just be afraid of comparing goods. With the frequent contact between the people of the two places, Chahar's superior welfare and prosperous economy are too tempting for the people struggling on the poverty line.
After all, it is human nature to yearn for a better life, so the word smuggling appeared on the land of China decades in advance. Poor farmers began to run to the border of Chahar with their families, facing
The top leaders of the Socialist Workers' Party were unable to react to the sudden changes. Some cadres proposed to expel all the businessmen from Chahar. The Socialist Workers' Party even held a special meeting to discuss this issue. At the meeting, some people asked
Made a speech on the spot.
"It's so shameful, so shameless. Now our originally good atmosphere has been ruined by those annihilating merchants. Look, some cadres are now using soap when taking a bath. It doesn't matter if a piece of clothing is torn.
After wearing it, leftovers began to appear in the canteen. Yes, the army has some money now, but our atmosphere of hardship and simplicity has also begun to change. This is terrible, and this situation must be stopped. I suggest that it be stopped temporarily.
Businessmen from Chahar entered our base and stopped all kinds of transactions with them."
Some people also expressed different opinions, "This is indeed a problem, but after all, we signed an agreement with Chahar. Now that the agreement has only been implemented for one month, it is changing. I'm afraid it's not good. It's not our Socialist Party to go back on our word."
His style.”
There were two opinions at the meeting, and both sides were deadlocked. Finally, they decided to invite the person in charge of the Chahar Liaison Office in Northern Shaanxi to come over and listen to his opinions.
Soon, Li Jing, Chahar's person in charge in northern Shaanxi, was also invited to the conference room.
Li Jing, 37 years old, is from Zibo, Shandong Province. He was originally an officer of the Chahar Propaganda Office. Because he is smart and sociable, he was sent here to serve as the head of the Chahar Liaison Office in Northern Shaanxi.
When Li Jing was brought to the conference room, he found that the conference room was packed with dozens of people. Some of them were smoking, some were frowning, and some looked unhappy.
looking at himself.
Li Jing, who was puzzled, sat down and asked strangely: "Excuse me, why did you call me here today?"
"Director Li, since your Chahar businessmen entered our northern Shaanxi, our lives have indeed changed a lot, but it has also had some bad effects. What about some of our comrades? I hope you can
What do you think, let’s postpone the process and let those businessmen return to Chahar for the time being, and wait until we come up with a good solution before coming in,” the person in charge of the council said with some embarrassment.
"Ding!" Li Jing's heart suddenly became a little annoyed, and he said in a deep voice: "Can you tell me a precise reason? What kind of bad influence has our businessmen caused here to make you propose to unilaterally tear up the agreement?
Decide, are they killing people and setting fires here or are they going to be a crime-killing unit?"
A group of people in the conference room "here" stared at each other and had nothing to say. They were doing business here in a very orderly manner, neither stealing nor robbing. It seemed that they could not be blamed for our own problems of hardship and simplicity.
let's go.
"Well," a cadre said hesitantly, "it's like this. After your merchants and goods poured into our base area in large numbers, it caused some bad changes in the thinking of some cadres and people in our base area. And
This change is contrary to the traditional Chinese virtues of hardship and simplicity that we have always advocated, so "
"So you have to let the people return to the poor life before, right?" Li Jing immediately interrupted the cadre.
"I would like to ask you, why do you keep your heads off your waistband and work for revolution? Isn't it just to make the common people live a good life? Now that the common people's life is better, you are not only unhappy, but also
To make them stay in poverty again, is this the original intention of your revolution?"
Li Jing's words deeply pierced the hearts of the participants, "Yes, I also understand that the people's lives have become easier and their horizons have broadened, which will have a certain impact on the original way of life. For example,
Girls like to dress up, and boys also like to wash clothes frequently and take showers and pay attention to hygiene. I think this is a good thing. Do you all want the older girls to be in rags and rags, and the boys to be covered with hair?
If you have lice, is this what you call hardship and simplicity? But I think all of us present at the meeting are quite clean."
"Hahaha" all the participants laughed.
"But now many of our people have gone to Chahar privately, resulting in a sharp decline in the population of our base area. Why don't you give us an explanation?" Someone at the meeting raised a sharp question, implicitly accusing Chahar of abduction.
The population of northern Shaanxi is suspected.
Li Jing smiled lightly, "I don't think this is a problem. Chahar has signed an agreement with you, one of which is to achieve free movement of population. I don't think you will deny this."
Li Jing's words left the participants speechless. The original agreement clearly stated that Chahar and northern Shaanxi had achieved free flow of population, and the political axes of both parties were not allowed to interfere without violating local laws and regulations. Now this agreement
As soon as the agreement in black and white was laid out, everyone in the venue was immediately speechless.
Well, after Chahar raised the banner of the agreement, northern Shaanxi could only hold its nose and swallow this bitter pill.
Northern Shaanxi also immediately launched a campaign calling on all cadres and masses to carry forward the spirit of hardship and simplicity and to be self-reliant.
"Comrade Haiyan, I heard from comrades that you have recently forgotten the hard and simple style of life in our base area, and you have also started to use soap, right?"
On a small road, a young man with glasses and a somewhat serious look was walking and talking to a young and pretty woman.
"Director Wang, my use of soap does not seem to have violated any laws and regulations in the base area," the young woman said somewhat unconvinced.
"You didn't violate the rules, but you can wash with soap, so why do you use much more expensive soap? Have you forgotten our original intention of coming here from Shanghai? Have you forgotten the oath we made? How can you even do this?
I can’t bear the hardship.”
"But I don't understand. Is there any direct or inevitable connection between using soap and hardship and simplicity?" The woman was a little angry and her voice became louder. "It doesn't matter if the food is not good, the conditions are limited. But I
Isn’t it illegal to use your own allowance to buy a bar of soap?”
After saying that, the woman turned around and left angrily.
"Zhou Haiyan, Zhou Haiyan, stop here." The young man shouted angrily from behind, but it was the back of Zhou Haiyan's head that answered him without looking back.
"Zhao Daxing, I heard that you bought a new set of clothes yesterday."
"Yes, Director Wang, do you think my new military uniform looks good? I bought it with my three-month allowance." Daxing asked happily.
Director Wang said noncommittally and asked, "Where is your old military uniform?"
"The old military uniform is worn out. I left it in my house. Is there any problem?" Daxing asked in confusion.
Director Wang frowned and asked: "Why don't you wear the old military uniform? I remember that you only wore that military uniform for less than three years. You should be able to wear it after a patch."
Zhao Daxing,"#&"
Zhangjiakou, Investigation Bureau Headquarters. Xia Yuxin, wearing a colonel uniform, is sitting upright on a chair. A major is standing respectfully in front of the desk to report the situation to it.
"Director, the situation has been investigated clearly. The original Zhou Yali was killed on the way to Chahar. It is certain that the current Zhou Yali is not the real owner. She must have pretended to be Major Wan and respectfully handed a file to the office in front of Xia Yuxin.
ah.
Xia Yuxin sighed after taking the materials, "Now that the situation is clear, let's close the Internet cafe."
In the headquarters of the Seventh War Zone, Yang Zhengnan, who was absent-minded and listless, was following a few companions out of the door. He saw several soldiers wearing ordinary dark green military uniforms, but with armbands with the word "gendarme" written on their arms.
Look at yourself expressively.
I saw a leading military police officer coming to me and asked coldly: "Are you Captain Yang Zhengnan?"
"Yes, I am what you want to do." A bad feeling suddenly flashed through Yang Zhengnan's heart.
"Captain Yang Zhengnan, because you are suspected of leaking military secrets and violating the Military Secrets Act, you are now under arrest." The military policeman immediately showed him a black and white arrest warrant, with Yang Zhengnan's name solemnly written on it.
"You guys, have you made a mistake? Please recognize it clearly. I am Yang Zhengnan. I am the staff officer of the headquarters. How could I leak military secrets?"
"You are the one who made the mistake, Yang Zhengnan. You have repeatedly leaked Chahar's military secrets to the Japanese spy Zhou Yali. We are now ordered to arrest you."
In full view of all the headquarters personnel, Yang Zhengnan was pressed into the jeep of the military police brigade by four military policemen.
