Chapter Five Hundred and Thirty-First Resumption of Currency Trade
After the war began, in the vast collective farms in the Soviet Union, the wages of farm members were greatly deducted in the form of taxes, and the voluntary labor participation of farm members also increased.???
The Soviet authorities' series of wartime reforms aimed at economic policy had no impact on the isolated war island of Novgomel.
Jelentina raised another sharp question: "If we resume currency trade, rubles and kopecks can facilitate the exchange of items that already exist among villagers, or the existing work-point policy can be adjusted so that currency can buy food and daily necessities. So.
Implementation, do we have enough currency for trade? A large amount of metal has been remelted long ago, and the remaining large-denomination banknotes are not suitable for trade. Furthermore, if some families in the village have more rubles, then they
Do you still need to continue working? Just take the money in exchange for food and be passive at other times.
I have never doubted our people's enthusiasm for production, but people are easily lazy, and the more lazy they are, the less they want to work. The existence of this black sheep will do great harm to us in terms of public opinion."
Yang Mingzhi pinched his chin. Military problems were not a big problem at the moment. The Germans stepped up the construction of fortifications. Seven thousand people died in World War I. It is strange that they are not afraid of such losses.
The military threat has been greatly reduced, and economic development has become a top priority.
Her words were very reasonable, and Yang Mingzhi couldn't help but think of the "price defense war" in that dimension when New China was first established. It was really a group of businessmen with rare goods who were driving up prices in an attempt to disrupt the economy of the new China.
Of course Yang Mingzhi is not an economist. Fortunately, in the education model of New China in that dimension, a normal student will receive basic economic knowledge education in high school, and then have to learn some compulsory knowledge in college. These advantages are naturally not what this Yelentina
What she possesses, her persistence and worries are not difficult for Yang Mingzhi.
"Originally, the members of the collective farm in Blacksmith Village were paid wages, but now they are paid by work points. I used to be in the Far East, and Besica and I also received military allowances. We saved up money to buy a lot of good things in Yekaburg, such as
Women's underwear is still worn on her, even Natasha."
He spoke so calmly that Yelentina and Yevlov burst into laughter.
"I didn't expect you to have such foresight. If you still have some spare things at home, it would be great to give me one." Yelentina has been retreating with the army, and she has carried too few things with her. As a woman, the necessary things have long been
Just consume it. In the war, a group of men are fighting, and the women in the village are very poor, so she can only envy them.
Yang Mingzhi nodded. The Mao woman was as bold and bold as ever, and she did not shy away from the intimate topics that were suddenly brought up.
He continued: "The price of goods in the Soviet Union is low, and the commodity economy is also underdeveloped. This is caused by many reasons, not because there is a problem with our system." In fact, what he wants to say in his heart is that the current Stalinist model in the Soviet Union is to suppress the economy.
The culprit of prosperity, this woman who finally grinned, it's better not to anger her.
"What you said does make sense, because some people are willing to deposit their money in state-owned banks, and some people stuff it in small wooden boxes at home. Nowadays, banks in the city have long been looted by the Germans, but those who save money at home have been spared.
In order to avoid a series of unnecessary troubles, we can resume currency trade, but we should not continue to use rubles and kopecks."
Jelentina's eyes lit up: "So, we are going to create a new currency?"
"That's right! It's an exchange ticket. I believe that replacing work points with this can not only stimulate the economy, but also solve various redundant situations caused by the exchange of work points."
"What about the ruble? Can it still be used?" Yelentina continued to ask.
"Of course it is suspended, even though it is legal currency." Yang Mingzhi scratched his head and continued to think along this line of thinking. Some new problems had to be faced. "We have long started using wood pulp and clay to make paper and print with it.
Issue a kind of ticket, rely on the credibility of the army, or simply let Novgomel city committee members, we hold a meeting to determine the validity of this exchange ticket, even if it is not recognized by law. In extraordinary times, I think this is the only thing to do
It's acceptable in our corner of the world."
Yevlov nodded, "I also think what Berekov said makes sense."
"I see that you always think what he said makes sense, so go ahead and raise your hands and agree." Yelentina rolled her eyes at her, but in her heart, it actually sounded quite reliable.
The 284th Guards Division, which occupies the swamp, relies on the swampy mud ponds and river chasms. It is indeed "the sky is high and the emperor is far away" here. Although it was simply abandoned by its superiors and stayed in the occupied areas to fight guerrillas. This kind of war should be particularly difficult, but
In Novgomel, the three collective farm settlements, the threat of death from war was not serious.
Yelentina felt that there was something wrong. No matter what kind of policy was adopted, as long as it mobilized the enthusiasm of all people for production and could produce and manufacture all kinds of necessary things, it would be the best policy. She knew that relative peace would not last long.
This month, this Belekov wants to carry out reforms, but also for the next bigger action. Maybe this man is going to attack Kiev? There is nothing here that he dare not think or do!
"As for the resumption of currency trade and the introduction of a new currency as a reward for arsenals, handicraft workshops and land reclamation farmers, we must hold a meeting to decide. Because of the lack of legal basis, the meeting must involve people like Lyudbalev.
When we finalize the reform plan, we have to report it to the front army via telegram. No matter what, we should still be led by our superiors."
"That's right." Yang Mingzhi nodded. Because it was too far away from the Soviet authorities, separated by hundreds of kilometers of enemy-occupied areas, the front line was one bloody war after another. In this swamp, it is easy to breed hilltops.
Doctrine, this was what Stalin could not tolerate the most. That man would not tolerate anyone challenging his authority.
After talking for a long time, Yang Mingzhi also became thirsty. A guard wisely brought a water glass and filled it with hot water.
After drinking it happily, Yang Mingzhi suddenly saw that Bavla was still being held captive. How to solve her problem?
Yang Mingzhi continued to ask: "Jelentina, when will you decide to hold a meeting with the municipal party committee people? I think a plan must be made quickly on this matter, the sooner the better."
"If you think it's okay, let's do it in the afternoon. Originally, you said you wanted to stay in the arsenal to build shocking weapons and put them into actual combat. I guess your work focus now has to be adjusted."
"Of course, under the current conditions, it is difficult for individual excellent weapons to form a trump card that determines everything. The source of our victory is still the support of the people. Economic reform must be carried out, and it is not just based on beliefs such as patriotism and revenge that drive people
To carry out a large-scale production campaign, there must be enough remuneration to stimulate them to work hard. If there is no problem, I hope to have a meeting this afternoon and start in a few hours."
"Okay." Yelentina agreed.
Yang Mingzhi pointed at Bavla again, "How are you going to treat this woman?"
Yelentina waved her hand: "Of course she will be released on the spot. This woman is an excellent worker anyway, and she has to raise her children. Berekov, you have convinced me, so not only are the words of this woman before
, but it is the people’s reasonable feedback. It is my job as the division’s political commissar to listen to different opinions and then analyze the problems and make adjustments.”
When Yang Mingzhi heard this, he turned around and shouted to the soldiers: "What are you doing standing still? Release this woman quickly!" 8
