On the other side, Jiang Cheng and Yu Qiaqing came to the gate of Yan'an City and saw an orderly flow of people. Although there were checks on large cars and other things, they were polite to both the literati in long gowns and the civilians in ragged coats.
There is no evil behavior of searching and molesting women, and there is no petty theft of taking advantage of others.
Jiang Cheng looked at Yu Qiaqing, who sighed and nodded. Jiang Cheng said to Wei Zuzhen, "Let's go see the school again."
After a day of wandering around, I visited schools, hospitals, and markets in Yan'an.
In the evening, Jiang Cheng and his group came to the door of a small restaurant, which was an ordinary food stall.
The boss was an old man. When he saw Jiang Cheng and others, he quickly stepped forward and said, "Comrade, what do you want to eat?"
Although Jiang Cheng often heard this term in Nanjing and Shanghai, this was the first time that an ordinary citizen said this term with a smile. In Nanjing and Shanghai, this term seemed to only belong to those high-ranking officials. Common people said it
Words seem to taint it.
Yu Qiaqing couldn't help but ask, "Fellow, you said comrades, then what do you think we have the same ambitions?"
The old man put the towel on his shoulders and said with a smile, "Of course we have the same ambition, to resist Japan and save the country. The Red Army said it well. The Japanese just want to bully us Chinese, steal our money, and our land. If they don't defeat us,
With them, our country will never become rich and strong in our lifetime."
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Fellow, that's good. We are outsiders. What special snacks do you have here?"
The uncle smiled and said, "Then let's talk about our mutton soup. The taste is so fresh."
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Okay, let's have a few big steamed buns and a big bowl of mutton soup for each person."
The uncle responded, "Okay, ten big steamed buns and five big bowls of mutton soup."
Probably because the food in the army was really not that good, Wei Zuzhen couldn't help but get a little excited when she saw the mutton soup, but she thought of something and stood up and said, "Report, I...I didn't bring so much money, I only eat steamed buns."
Already." He said a little embarrassed.
Jiang Cheng and Yu Qiaqing looked at each other and burst into laughter. Yu Qiaqing said, "Our boss is not short of money, so we'll treat you to this meal."
Wei Zuzhen said quickly and seriously, "No, our army is disciplined and we will not take advantage of the masses, let alone food."
Yu Qiaqing couldn't help but said with some disdain, "How can it be so exaggerated? It's just a meal. Don't think about it, just eat it."
Wei Zuzhen scratched her head and said, "This is really not good."
Jiang Cheng said, "Eat, eat boldly, it's really not possible. You took us around for a day. This is the meal money we gave you. If you work, you have to pay. It's normal."
Wei Zuzhen then started eating with a smile.
After eating, Wei Zuzhen asked, "I wonder where we are going to visit next?"
Jiang Cheng asked Yu Qiaqing in Shanghai dialect, "Old Yu, how are you doing? Do you have any opinions on the Red Party?"
Yu Qiaqing sighed, looked at the sky, shook his head and said, "What can I say? Just seeing the smoking cessation centers in every village and the attitude of the people towards the Red Army, I have to admit that the Red Party is indeed better than the White Party in some aspects, but
Our identities are different, and I don’t know that the Red Party would view businessmen like us this way.”
Wei Zuzhen didn't understand what Jiang Cheng and Yu Qiaqing were talking about, so she couldn't help but look at Jiang Cheng and others with suspicion.
Jiang Cheng looked at Wei Zuzhen who was a little nervous and said with a smile, "I want to meet your leader. Is it convenient?"
Wei Zuzhen thought Jiang Cheng and others were preparing to make a deal with the Red Army, and immediately said excitedly, "Okay, no problem, let's go back to the military headquarters."
——Nie Rongzhen, from the First Army Headquarters, heard that Jiang Cheng and others were back, and quickly came out to greet him and said, "Boss Gu, you've been around for a while, how do you feel?"
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Don't talk about the road and don't pick up the lost things. It is indeed managed in an orderly manner. I think we can have a good talk."
Nie Rongzhen sat down and said, "Why don't you make a price first, Boss Gu? Our Red Army will try our best to meet Boss Gu's request."
Jiang Cheng turned around and asked, "Bashun, how much medicine have we brought?"
Bashun took out a small book from his arms and said slowly, "My boss, there are a total of 120 penicillins of 800,000 units, 600 of 80,000 units, 1,200 of 8,000 units, and 6,000 sulfonamide pills."
Nie Rongzhen couldn't help but get a little excited when he heard that. The Red Army now has only 30,000 people. This amount of medicine is enough for the entire army to use for a period of time. He couldn't help but said excitedly, "This is great. I wonder what price Boss Gu will offer?"
"
Jiang Cheng said with a smile, "We have plenty of this drug, and we can supply it for a long time, but we want to ask. I heard that the Red Party has always been against us businessmen, saying that we are all blood-sucking evil capitalists, so we are very worried about your party."
What is your attitude towards us?"
Nie Rongzhen said solemnly, "Our party is against those capitalists who exploit the working people, not all businessmen, and what you mentioned is old history. We did have many restrictions on capitalists and businessmen before, but now we
We have used Marx's thought to divide the capitalists into two dialectically. Our current policies protect enlightened landlords and businessmen, especially patriotic businessmen like Boss Gu, who are the targets of our protection."
Jiang Cheng nodded and looked at Yu Qiaqing, who finally closed his eyes and nodded to express his acquiescence.
Jiang Cheng said, "Then let's get straight to the point. We are representatives of Weihua. We want to cooperate with your party to save the country. We would like to ask Political Commissar Nie to help introduce the leaders of your party."
When Nie Rongzhen heard the word Wei Hua, he finally understood why Boss Gu had so many penicillins and other precious drugs, and Li Kenong was so happy. This Wei Hua was indeed the God of Wealth. He quickly said, "Are you Wei Hua Company?"
Is it the Weihua company that makes penicillin?"
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "I wonder if the leaders of your party are willing to meet with us."
At this time, a burst of laughter with a Hunan accent came, "No need to ask for permission, we are here to worship the God of Wealth."
Hearing the accent, Jiang Cheng guessed who it was. He suppressed his excitement and turned around slowly, only to see a few people walking in with smiles.
The leader was tall, wearing an old military uniform, with a male-female appearance, and a clean face. He had a conspicuous mole in a place that would be known to all Chinese people in later generations. He was not as strong as in the photos of later generations, but as thin as a teacher.
——He did become a teacher.
One of the two people at the back has eyes and is a little chubby, and the other has a wide mouth and a big face. When he smiles, his eyes are almost invisible. But he also has a sense of self-power without anger.
The leader smiled and said to Jiang Cheng, "My lord, Mao Yongzhi, isn't Boss Jiang willing to show his true name?" Jiang Cheng said nervously, "My lord, Jiang Cheng, I didn't expect that our party would have discovered us a long time ago."
Mao Yongzhi introduced the next two people to Jiang Cheng. It turned out that the fat one was Li Kenong, and the other one was Zhu Daizhen, the father of the Red Army.
Jiang Cheng knew that Yu Qiaqing had always had doubts about the Red Party, so he didn't say his name. Instead, he sat down with everyone.
Mao Yongzhi asked, "What advice does Boss Jiang have when he comes to Yan'an this time?"
When Jiang Cheng heard that Mao Yongzhi said that he was Boss Jiang, not Lieutenant Colonel Jiang who was given by Jiang, he knew that Mao Yongzhi had also guessed it and nodded and said, "Chairman Mao, I have two purposes for coming here this time. One is to learn more about it."
Some of the policies of our Red Party, and secondly, we at Weihua want to cooperate with your Party."
Mao Yongzhi looked at Li Kenong, who smiled and blinked.
Mao Yongzhi said, "I wonder what Boss Jiang wants to know?"
Jiang Cheng was indeed not very clear about the Red Party’s policies during this period, so he asked, “I wonder what our Red Party thinks of us so-called capitalists now?”
In fact, Mao Yongzhi had already guessed that Jiang Cheng would ask this. Mao Yongzhi took a puff of cigarette. Jiang Cheng asked about the smell of smoke but frowned. Jiang Cheng himself occasionally smoked, but the smell of smoke was not the smell of cigarettes at all, but the smell.
But it smells like horse manure and pickled cabbage, which is extremely unpleasant. This must be the worst quality cigarette...
Mao Yongzhi said, "Everything must be viewed from a dialectical perspective. Many capitalists are indeed exploiting our people, and many even make money by selling out the interests of the country and the nation. We will resolutely crack down on such capitalists."
, but there are still some capitalists who are patriotic, enlightened, and democratic. There are even some capitalists who care about the working people. For such capitalists, I think they are red capitalists, a type of people worthy of our protection.
.”
Yu Qiaqing rushed to speak at this time, "But I heard that in your place of the Red Party, traders do not have any rights when doing business."
Mao Yongzhi looked at Yu Qiaqing and nodded and said, "This happened a long time ago. Our party did make some **** mistakes during the Jinggangshan period. At that time, it was too simple to overthrow all industrial and commercial people, but we soon discovered this
Wrong, in early 1936, we changed the "Election Law" that deprived all capitalists of the right to vote to only restrict industrial and commercial capitalists with capital of more than 5,000 yuan. And in the latest "Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region Election Regulations" released just this month
We only restrict traitors, traitors, people deprived of political and civil rights and mentally ill people, all people over 16 years old, regardless of gender, religion, nationality, property or cultural differences, have the right to be elected and vote. Therefore, our party
Now instead of persecuting and depriving capitalists, we now support and protect these patriotic and enlightened capitalists."
When Yu Qiaqing heard what Mao Yongzhi said, he couldn't help but said curiously, "So, your party is changing some of its practices?"
Mao Yongzhi laughed and said, "No one can make mistakes without being a sage? What's more, the world is changing, the priorities of conflicts are constantly changing, and of course some of our party's policies are also constantly changing."
Jiang Cheng looked at what Yu Qiaqing wanted to say, held Yu Qiaqing's hand and said, "Mr. Yu, that's it. Chairman Mao, I have another question to ask you. I don't know what the goal of our Red Party is?"
Mao Yongzhi looked at the comrades around him and said, "I said it's not appropriate. Why don't we let everyone say, Mr. Zhu, tell us what our goal is?"
Zhu Daizhen said seriously, "The goal of our party is to create a new communist world for poor people where they no longer have to be bullied and exploited."
Mao Yongzhi looked at Wei Zuzhen who was standing aside.
Wei Zuzhen said nervously, "The goal of our Red Army is to drive out all foreign invaders and let our country truly stand up. Let our people no longer suffer military disasters and live and work happily in peace and contentment. Finally, communism will be realized!"
Mao Yongzhi also firmly said, "You are right, the goal of our Chinese Red Party is to realize communism."
Yu Qiaqing asked further, "I wonder what is communism in Chairman Mao's eyes?"
Mao Yongzhi asked in surprise, "Is Boss Jiang also interested in Marx's thoughts? Communism simply means a society in which everyone uses his ability and everyone gets what he needs. It is a society where people jointly occupy social resources, work together, and share the fruits of labor.
form of public ownership, thereby achieving a new society in which the people are the masters of the country."
Yu Qiaqing asked, "Everyone takes what he needs? How can there be an end to human needs? When I have enough to eat, I want a wife. When I have a wife, I want a big house. When I have a big house, I want a car. When I have a car, I want a car."
If you want to be an official, where will this desire end? And there are so many people in China, how can we let everyone live a good life?"
Mao Yongzhi laughed and said, "Many people only see everyone getting what they need at first, and then they think communism is unachievable. But they don't see everyone doing their best. The most important thing about our communist society is
Everyone should do their best, and then everyone should get what they need. Only when everyone works to the best of their ability can there be enough material basis for everyone to get what they need."
Jiang Cheng interjected, "Chairman Mao, let me tell you my understanding. There are two major prerequisites for the realization of communism. The first is the great improvement of productivity. For example, in the past, 80% of the people needed to farm to feed everyone, but
With the improvement of productivity, only a few people are needed to farm the land to feed everyone. Then we can find ways to do our best. For example, those who don't like farming and like to work can be allowed to work, and those who don't like working and talking can be allowed to work.
Let him be a lawyer; those who love fighting and shooting, let him serve as a soldier to defend his country; those who love music, let him sing; let him do whatever he loves; if he is unwilling to do anything, then we must also provide them with the minimum social security.
At the same time, guide him to work. Even if he only likes to sleep, you can also let him go to a mattress factory to try out the quality and comfort of the mattress."
Jiang Cheng's words made everyone burst into laughter. Zhu Daizhen said with a smile, "It really makes sense that Boss Jiang can expand his business. Even people who only like to sleep can help him find things to do. Lao Mao, if we are communist
If it really comes true, I think I can ask Boss Jiang to help arrange everyone’s work, and everything will be arranged properly.”
Jiang Cheng also smiled and said, "A little bit of insight will make everyone laugh."
Mao Yongzhi said, "What you said is very good. It seems that you do have some own opinions on our communism. Go on, let us see your opinions."
Jiang Cheng continued, "Another point is that I think communism will take a long time to be realized. It will never be realized overnight. It will even take several generations of efforts to realize the communism in our hearts. From the Paris Commune
When we got to the Soviet Union, didn't we just experience failure again and again?" Jiang Cheng did not discuss this issue in detail. He knew that it was too early to say this.
Mao Yongzhi nodded and said, "You have thought deeply about some of our party's thoughts. Can I ask you to Gu Quan?"
Jiang Cheng quickly said, "Of course, you can call me Chairman, just call me Xiao Jiang or Xiao Cheng."
Mao Yongzhi said, "Gu Quan, are you interested in joining the party?"
When Jiang Cheng heard this, he suddenly thought of Hyundai's days in the work unit. The director at that time also said the same to him. Unfortunately -
Jiang Cheng said, "This - let's talk about it later. I have another question. Chairman, please find a quieter place."
Mao Yongzhi thought for a while and said, "Okay, Fu Pian, do you have such a place here?"
Nie Rongzhen nodded and said, "Just go to the small room at the back."
Coming to the room, Mao Yongzhi asked, "Okay, Gu Quan, just ask if you have any questions."
Although Jiang Cheng knew the answer, he still asked, "If the Soviet Union invades us one day, I wonder what your party will do?"
Mao Yongzhi took a puff of cigarette, closed his eyes and thought for a while and said firmly, "Anyone who wants to invade us, our Red Party is willing to be the first to go to the battlefield and fight for the common people and them."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng knew that his last scruples had disappeared, and he was about to explain his identity when Gallagher suddenly shouted in his mind, "Wait, wait, are you really sure you want to do this?"
Jiang Cheng said unhappily, "Didn't we all discuss it? Besides, in this era, we will actually win without me in the end. If it doesn't work, I'll just wear it back."
Gallagher anxiously thought about it in his mind and said, "Then why don't you have a real relationship with a modern country?"
Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes and said, "You think I'm really stupid? I don't have anything to worry about in this era. I just go back. In modern time and space, there are Yu Na and my parents. If something really happens, I can go."
where?"
Jiang Cheng, who no longer ignored Gallagher, breathed out, took out his membership card he brought from Hyundai, and handed it to Mao Yongzhi.
Mao Yongzhi took it over doubtfully, and when he saw that it was actually the logo of the Communist Youth League, he couldn't help but feel happy - could this Jiang Cheng be from our party?
But when she opened it and saw this style of membership card that she had never seen before, Mao Yongzhi was shocked. The date of joining the group was actually 2004? Could this be a typo?
Jiang Cheng looked at the confused Mao Yongzhi and nodded seriously, "Chairman Mao, whether you believe it or not, I am not a person of this era, but a person from the future. Due to some coincidences, I have the freedom to travel through time and space."
ability. Only then did we come to this era.”
Mao Yongzhi is a staunch proletarian revolutionary warrior who does not believe in ghosts and gods. He calmed down immediately and asked, "Are you telling the truth? If this is true, are you talking about science? Or?"
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "It's science, but it's the science of aliens. This ability can also allow me to carry a large amount of supplies, but it is not against the sky. Now I can carry supplies with a radius of about five meters. At the same time, I am not allowed to carry living animals."
