Chapter 511: Warriors with 84 scars can't beat 3500 oceans
——Yan'an
After listening to Chairman Mao's general description of the situation in various places, Jiang Cheng said, "Chairman, there are movements all over the world now. What should we do next?"
After finishing the meal, Chairman Mao took out a cigarette and smoked it. He said, "Stand up grain and train troops to wait for the weather. By the way, you'd better store part of the grain in the Taihang Mountains. The food there is also very tight.
Secondly, if there is a change, Taihang Mountain can attack in all directions. The troops and horses are not moved, and the food and grass go first. There will be no mistake in storing food there."
Jiang Cheng nodded, understood, stood up and said, "Okay, then all the machinery and equipment I will transport from now on will be shipped to our three major border areas, and the food will mainly be stored in the Taihang Mountains."
Chairman Mao said with his hands behind his back, "The food from our three major border regions will also be concentrated in Jincheng, Changzhi and other forward positions to wait for the opportunity. This time you go to Taihang Mountain to take a look at the local disaster relief situation. In addition, check them out."
account book."
Jiang Cheng narrowed his eyes and asked, "Is there anything you are worried about, Chairman?"
Chairman Mao smiled and said, "First of all, the Taihang Mountains are most short of food. In principle, they are not allowed to use the food you sent there. Secondly... Xiao Jiang, let me show you a document. After I read it,
It’s so uncomfortable! This is our old comrade, but he made such a stupid mistake!"
Chairman Mao took out a document and handed it to Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng took it and read it. It said "Investigation Results and Handling Suggestions on Xiao Yubi's Corruption Case"
"What? We have a corruption case??" Jiang Cheng said in disbelief.
Chairman Mao nodded sadly and said, "You also know, when are we now? In order to prepare for the upcoming catastrophe, not a grain of food can be wasted, and a penny must be saved. But something like this happened.
Please tell me whether you feel sad about this matter! Xiao Jiang, I remember you told me that there were many corruption cases in your area, right?"
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "There are quite a few, including quite a few big tigers. I just caught one to kill a tiger when I came here. What's the status... Politburo member..."
Chairman Mao punched the table next to him with a bang and said, "Corruption has been spreading in our nation like a plague for thousands of years. Countless princes, generals and ministers want to eliminate it. Can't we do it?"
?”
Jiang Cheng quickly advised, "Chairman, don't get excited. In fact, I think this is the case. Corruption is a systemic issue and an ideological issue. If a person becomes an official just for money, then he will naturally become corrupt.
If a person becomes an official in order to serve the people and realize his own value, then he will have high demands on himself ideologically. As for the system... If corruption does nothing, then doesn't it encourage others to do bad things?
"
Chairman Mao took a breath and said, "Actually, we in Yan'an have already introduced many policies, but... people's hearts are broken."
Indeed, the Red Party has attached great importance to anti-corruption since the Jinggangshan period. After arriving in Yan'an, it issued a series of laws and regulations. In 1939, the border region government promulgated the "Regulations on Punishing Corruption (Draft) in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningxia Border Region".
Corruption is strictly defined, and corresponding penalties are imposed based on the severity of the corruption. It stipulates that those who embezzle more than 1,000 yuan shall be sentenced to death; those who embezzle more than 500 yuan shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of more than five years or death; those who embezzle less than 500 yuan shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of more than five years or death;
The offender shall be sentenced to fixed-term imprisonment of not more than five years.
After that, each army issued its own regulations. For example, the "Regulations on Punishing Corruption" issued by the 120th Division stipulates that those who embezzle more than 500 yuan of public funds shall be shot; those who embezzle more than 300 yuan to 500 yuan shall be sentenced to more than 3 years of hard labor or confinement; those who embezzle more than 100 yuan shall be sentenced to more than 3 years of hard labor or confinement;
If the amount exceeds 300 yuan, the person shall be sentenced to hard labor or confinement for not less than 1 year and not more than 3 years; if the amount exceeds 30 yuan to 100 yuan, the person shall be sentenced to hard labor or confinement for not less than 1 month and not more than 2 years; if the amount exceeds 5 yuan to 30 yuan, the person shall be sentenced to hard labor or confinement for not more than 1 month or more.
Confinement; anyone who embezzles less than 5 yuan will be sentenced to confinement or warning for less than one month, which can be said to be a truly severe punishment.
Jiang Cheng sat down and asked, "So what's going on with Xiao Yubi?"
Chairman Mao sat down and smoked a cigarette and said, "This Xiao Yubi is an old man of our Red Party. I still remember this man very clearly. He is from Shaanxi. He joined our Red Army as early as the 22nd year of the Republic of China. He
He fought bravely. He was at the front every time he fought. He was treated as a dead man several times and prepared for a grand burial. In the end, he survived because of his tenacity. Later, he was too injured to fight on the front line and began to change his job.
"
As he spoke, Chairman Mao exhaled and shook his head and said, "It was this place of employment that harmed him. He first served as Chairman of the First Soviet of the Fourth District of Qingjian County and Director of the Yanchi Taxation Bureau. Later, he served as Deputy Director of the Border Trade Bureau in charge of trade.
, due to poor health, long-term fatigue and malnutrition, I often fainted. Last winter, I went to the hospital to visit the hospitalized cadres and soldiers. When I walked into a cave in the north, I saw Xiao Yubi, who had been suffering from a long-term illness.
"
As he spoke, Chairman Mao fell into deep thought and said, "I still remember clearly that I asked the doctor what illness our veteran soldier had, and the doctor told me that his illness was caused by several puncture wounds.
If it is not handled properly, the digestive function will be weakened, coupled with overwork and malnutrition, resulting in severe coma due to excessive physical weakness.'
I hurriedly asked, can this disease be cured? The doctor told me that it is actually very curable, as long as he has to eat well for a month. I opened his quilt and saw that his body was densely covered with
They were all wounds. I counted them, 84! 84 scars! I also asked him specifically because he was not a low-level person. Although he couldn’t eat any delicacies, it was not a problem to eat enough. He and
I said, he said that his former comrades died in the war, leaving many orphans, so he saved money to give to those orphans... He is such a good comrade, but he has transformed so much in just three or four months!
"
Jiang Cheng asked in confusion, "It shouldn't be right? Why?"
Chairman Mao patted himself and said, "Speaking of this matter, one of them still blames me. It's because I didn't do a good job. When I saw his situation and knew that he was a native of Shaanxi, I wanted to take care of him and let him go."
He went to his hometown of Qingjian County to serve as the director of the Zhangjiapan Taxation Branch of Qingjian County so that his family could take care of his life. Who knew that he could not figure it out and felt that he was being suppressed. Not only did he go to the Organization Department to cause trouble, the Organization Department at that time
I also told him that it was to take care of his poor health, but he just didn't understand and found me again. I was also upset about some things at the time and didn't communicate well with him, so I told him to obey the organization's arrangements.
When he returned home, his work style changed greatly, and he was extremely irritable with the comrades around him. He also saw that many villages around him were building factories and working and becoming rich, and some businessmen were making a lot of money, and he
But his life is very difficult, and he is quickly unbalanced mentally. Someone just happens to ask him to do something, a hundred oceans! Just a hundred oceans to destroy one of our good cadres!!"
As he spoke, Chairman Mao smashed his cigarette to the ground. "It took only three or four months until the incident occurred. He had already embezzled a total of 3,500 oceans! He still wanted to escape... A man who never escaped on the battlefield
The man actually ran away in front of these 3,500 oceans! He was finally caught at the Great Wall. After he was captured, he wrote to me and said how much credit he had made and how many achievements he had made. He felt that he had embezzled thousands of oceans.
Well, the death penalty is too harsh. I feel that there are many people in the White Party who have embezzled tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands, and they say that even if they have to die, they should be allowed to go to the battlefield and die on the battlefield, just like the ancient exiles! Abominable! Shameful! Hateful! Sad!
!What a shame!!!”
Maybe there is really no one to talk to. Chairman Mao's words are not suitable for anyone. I can only talk to Jiang Cheng. Jiang Cheng felt extremely pathetic when he heard it. Someone who dared to die with the enemy holding a grenade.
The soldier ended up being beaten to the ground with several thousand silver dollars.
"Chairman, is our current corruption serious?" Jiang Cheng asked.
Chairman Mao nodded and said, "Lin Boqu reported to me that at least 3% of our comrades have corruption to varying degrees. But this is our rear. Due to the war in the front, it may be more serious. Of course, it may be lighter."
Some...."
In fact, this number is much less than in history. In history, Lin Boqu said this number was 5% at the time. This was mainly due to the large amount of materials provided by Jiang Cheng, which made the originally extremely difficult border area much better in terms of materials. However,
And due to the development of economy, trade and industry, there are more temptations.
Jiang Cheng sighed and said, "We can only reduce corruption to the greatest extent."
"No!" Chairman Mao shook his head and said, "Xiao Jiang, this is a misunderstanding of your era, or of us Chinese people. I am the son of a farmer. I have been exposed to too much darkness since I was a child. I know that many people think corruption
It is inevitable. As long as the official does his job, it doesn't matter if he does something special! Some people even say that incompetent and honest officials are more hateful than corrupt officials! This is simply a bastard. According to this statement, if you have the ability, you can do it.
Something bad has happened? I don’t believe it! This world can’t survive without corrupt officials! Xiao Jiang, do you know where the biggest corruption is on our front lines and in the rear?”
Jiang Cheng thought for a while, shook his head and said, "I don't know, I really haven't studied it yet."
Chairman Mao said, "In order to survive, our base areas in various places have set up their own small factories and workshops, and also have their own small treasury. How is the money in these small treasury used? Due to the war and the isolation of the enemy, the central government has not been able to
It is too clear, especially Erbai in Taihang Mountain, that business is very big. This time you have to take a look. And the corruption in our rear areas is also caused by the factories and collective farmers in various places. These factories and collective farmers have greatly increased.
Productivity has been reduced, but some people have begun to use crooked ideas...Xiao Jiang, do you have any ideas?"
Chairman Mao asked Jiang Cheng for a reason. The person least likely to be corrupt in the world is probably Jiang Cheng. After all, he has everything, and he is the least afraid of offending others. In ancient terms, he is a lonely minister. If
Others, even if they are willing to speak out, do not dare to speak out the most absolute solution, just like Wang Anshi's reform in the Song Dynasty in the past, which can be said to be extremely radical, but even so he did not dare to collect business taxes from officials.
Jiang Cheng thought for a while and said, "Chairman, if you ask me, I can't say much. I can only share some suggestions from future generations. One is to establish separate audit departments and anti-corruption departments. The rights of these two departments must be certain."
It needs to be big, and then it must not be audited locally, but an off-site audit system must be implemented, and the audited department must not be allowed to know in advance who is going to audit it.
The second is to disclose income and expenditure. Of course, due to the need for war and confidentiality, it is inappropriate to disclose it to the outside world, but it can be disclosed internally! Is there anything that cannot be said to the central government? There are also some methods that are not convenient now.
We will talk about their use later, but I think these two items should be activated immediately, and at least all comrades should be informed of the central government’s determination to fight corruption. No matter who it is, once they commit a crime, they will never be leniently spared!"
Chairman Mao said excitedly, "Yes! You will never be lenient! Xiao Jiang, I think you still have a lot of ideas in this regard. Don't waste it. Write them all down for me. I will show them to several committee members."
I will handle the problem according to what you said. In addition, the method of the Audit Bureau you mentioned is very good, but there are not many people in our Red Party who understand this. Let me tell you the truth, now our Red Party has no shortage of generals to fight.
Talent, there is no shortage of intellectuals, even the technical workers I have always been nagging about the most are not in short supply, only these accountants are in short supply! There is such a shortage!!"
Jiang Cheng nodded understandingly. In fact, this is a normal thing. The more developed the economy, the larger the place, the greater the demand for economic talents. If you look at China in later generations, the most popular ones are economics and trade colleges, especially those studying
There are really many accounting students. On the one hand, it is easy to expand the enrollment of accounting schools. On the other hand, there is indeed an extremely lack of senior talents in this field.
Jiang Cheng stood up and said, "Okay! Chairman, I will sort out my thoughts right now, and then combine it with some practices of later generations to come up with a plan. I will try to give it to you in a few days."
Chairman Mao nodded, and after sending Jiang Cheng away, he took out Xiao Yubi's document. He read it again and again, smoked another cigarette, and finally took out a pen and wrote at the end of the document, "The Red Party and the Red Army
, we must enforce stricter discipline on our party members and members of the Red Army than ordinary civilians. I fully support the court’s decision and support the death penalty for Comrade Xiao Yubi. Long live the Red Party! Long live the people! Long live China!!”
After returning home, Jiang Cheng lay on the bed and started thinking. Seeing Jiang Cheng like this, Yu Yishan came over and asked, "What's wrong? I just went to the chairman's place and I'm so listless."
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "It's okay, maybe I'm overthinking it. Let me ask you, what is our current view of the Soviet Union in the border area?"
Yu Yishan thought for a while and said, "Okay, after all, we are all Red Party, so there are not many bad words, but I often listen to the teachers debating in school. Some people say that the Soviet Union supported Germany's invasion of Poland, which is wrong and unjust.
But some people say that they are liberating Poland. This is a point of contention. Others say that the Soviet Union gave Chongqing countless supplies but did not give them to us, but some people say that they actually gave them to Chongqing, but we just didn’t know about it. Brother Cheng, this Soviet Union
Have you given us any supplies?"
Jiang Cheng shook his head with a smile and touched his chin. He already understood something.
