- Facing the silent second child, Wang Yougen continued to roar: "If you don't speak, you don't have it"
At this point, a smile full of sarcasm quickly appeared on Wang Yougen's face, and he said to the second child: "You have been in the Red Army for so long, you should have heard of the National Defense Force, which is invincible and famous in the world" "
Seeing the second child nodded in acquiescence, Wang Yougen sat directly in front of the second child and said: "Since you know about the National Defense Force, I will tell you carefully."
"The eldest son of our neighbor, Lao Wang, passed the selection process and joined the National Defense Forces just a week ago and became a new recruit of the National Defense Forces."
"Do you know what the National Defense Force gave to the Wang family after the eldest son of the Wang family joined the National Defense Force?"
"A whole hundred yuan for settling-in expenses. In addition to settling-in expenses, the old Wang family can be exempted from five hundred kilograms of grain tax every year during the few years when their son joins the army. In addition, while he is a recruit in the National Defense Force, he will be exempted from food tax every year. You can get six yuan of military pay every month, and after the recruit period, you can get eight yuan every month. If you are lucky and get promoted by the commander, your monthly military pay will be even more"
"Also, after a person joins the National Defense Forces, even if he dies in battle, Lao Wang can receive a one-time pension of one thousand oceans from the National Defense Forces. If he is injured on the battlefield and has to be discharged, the National Defense Forces will not only issue a compensation, but also I will arrange a decent job for them"
"Tell me, where can you find such good treatment? Can you get such good treatment in the Red Army?"
For the lowest level soldiers in the Red Army, they do not have such lofty beliefs. The reason is to join the Red Army. There is only one reason, and that is to stop his family from going hungry. Give your family a way to survive.
And now, what the National Defense Force has done has directly given everyone a good life that they had never imagined. From this point of view, the Wehrmacht is already much better than the Red Army. Because many of the things the Red Army promised everyone were empty words, but the Wehrmacht actually delivered on them.
Under such circumstances, his sense of belonging to the Red Army is not that strong. At the same time, he also began to envy the son of the Wang family in his father's words.
because. Everything my father just said is impossible for me to get in the Red Army.
As for the various good lives promoted by political commissars at all levels in the Red Army, in his opinion, they are almost illusory things. As long as you don't get it, it will never be yours. However, the Wehrmacht, which has always been vilified by the Red Army, did what the Red Army failed to do, after all. The current situation of his family has been truly seen in his own eyes.
Slowly, a look of longing began to appear on Lao Er¡¯s face. Although it was not obvious, Wang Yougen still saw it.
Seeing this, Wang Yougen's face suddenly showed a hint of joy.
The appearance of this expression on the second child¡¯s face shows that the second child is under the bewitchment of the Red Army. The poisoning is not serious yet, and there is still hope of rescue.
Wang Yougen, who was full of expectations, quickly took advantage of this opportunity and continued: "Second brother, I won't hide it from you. I have only one purpose for bringing you back this time, to persuade you to leave the Red Army, which has no hope."
"Although we have no hope of joining the National Defense Force this time, there is still another chance. In addition, I heard that the town is recruiting workers to build the railway. Not only will they take care of food every day, but they will also be paid two cents. I mean, you first Go to town and sign up to build the railway. Although it¡¯s not as good as being a soldier, you still get six oceans a month in wages, and there¡¯s no danger.¡±
Seeing my father looking at me expectantly, I thought about six yuan a month, which is the salary of two hundred kilograms of wheat. The second child only hesitated for half a minute before nodding in agreement.
He replied to his father: "Dad, I listen to you It's just that if I don't return to the army within the specified time, I will be regarded as a deserter. I'm worried that the Red Army will cross the river to catch me"
Hearing that the second brother was worried, Wang Yougen said with disdain: "The Red Army dares to come to Shanxi with its poor guns. I'm not bragging. They were wiped out on the Yellow River by the iron ships of the National Defense Force before they crossed the Yellow River. You too Regardless of what kind of guns the National Defense Forces carry, unless the Red Army has taken the courage of a leopard, it will not dare to come to Shanxi."
"Don't worry, I will take you to the village chief after dinner, divide the fields for you, and let the National Defense Forces protect us."
The Red Army troops stationed on the front line of the Yellow River, especially the Red Army units that have just recruited some new recruits from Shanxi Province, have begun to see soldiers leave the team and not return after the recruitment of soldiers by the National Defense Forces. However, because this phenomenon had just begun, it did not attract the attention of superiors and was simply treated as a desertion incident.
However, when the top leaders of the Red Army slowly realized that this was a conspiracy against the Red Army, it was already too late.
Of course, these are all things for later.
At this moment, in the increasingly prosperous Hejin, in order to ensure the continuous transportation of Shaanxi crude oil energy sources to Qingdao, a railway connecting Hejin, Linyi and Taiyuan officially broke ground.
Although the National Defense Forces have hundreds of thousands of prisoners building railways in various places, all of these prisoners are scattered in the Far East and Outer Mongolia, where the environment is very harsh. In the eyes of the National Defense Forces, the lives of these prisoners are far less valuable than the Chinese. If they are sent to the Far East to build railways, they will not be heartbroken even if they starve to death and freeze to death.
As for Guannei and Northeast China where the environment is better, all railway workers are composed of Chinese, which can not only reduce the pressure on local governments, but also provide local people with an additional way to make money.
As for the railway that is currently under construction ahead of schedule, it is another way for Li Guosheng to increase the income of people on the front line of the Yellow River.
Not only that, by building the railway in front of us, we can also attract many people from Shaanxi Province and let them know that only by following the National Defense Forces can they have a good life, further shaking the foundation of the Red Party Red Army.
Among the road construction army of tens of thousands of people, at least two thousand were from Shaanxi. Shaanxi people who were introduced by relatives and friends on the east bank of the Yellow River and wanted to make money to support their families here.
As the long black railway stretches step by step in the direction of Linyi, the daily wages of tens of thousands of workers are continuously distributed to everyone without any deductions.
Huang Chengzhong, as an ordinary Shaanxi man. He just wants his family to live a good life and eat every meal.
After the Red Army came to Shaanxi. Although Huang Chengzhong's family was allocated dozens of acres of land from the landlord's family. However, due to the barren land in Shaanxi Province and the large amount of public grain that needs to be handed over to the Red Army every year, after a year of hard work, the harvest of dozens of acres of land can at most keep the family fed and clothed, ensuring that the whole family is no longer as hungry as before.
But no matter what, I finally have hope, and I am grateful to the Red Army who gave me the land.
However. As the National Defense Forces on the other side of the Yellow River began to carry out land reform in Shanxi Province, canceling all exorbitant taxes and unifying grain taxes, the news reached his ears. Huang Chengzhong's gratitude to the Red Army was immediately replaced by anger.
The people within the jurisdiction of the National Defense Forces on the east bank of the Yellow River do not have any other taxes except a grain tax of fifty kilograms per mu of land per year. Calculated based on the fact that my family of five has 40 acres of land, even if the harvest from one acre of land is only 300 kilograms of wheat. If you go out and collect taxes, your whole family can get 10,000 catties of grain.
"Excluding the family's one-year rations, the in-laws still have at least five thousand kilograms of food left after a year of hard work. If it were replaced by Dayang, it would be a full one hundred and fifty yuan.
As for the Red Army occupying this place, they ostensibly claim to be the ¡®people¡¯s army¡¯ and always put the interests of the people first.
But. After a year of hard work, except for the necessary rations for his family, almost all the rest of the food was confiscated as public food, and there was not even a little leftover.
With such an obvious gap and contrast, how could Huang Chengzhong not be angry?
but. Anger is anger, but there is nothing I can do. After all, the Red Army has guns in its hands, but he is just an ordinary citizen at the lowest level and has no right to speak.
The only thing that makes Huang Chengzhong feel lucky is that he has a good in-laws, and the place where his good in-laws live has a good government.
With the introduction of his relatives, Huang Chengzhong was lucky enough to become the first batch of workers building the railway.
After ten days of hard work, I looked at the two ocean wages that the foreman had just handed out in my hand, with a hint of residual warmth. The excited Huang Chengzhong pinched his arm hard. It wasn't until he felt the pain that he realized that what he saw was true. He had really earned two dollars in ten days.
You must know that in Shaanxi, a land with barren land, you may not be able to have two oceans left over from a year of hard work. But now, I only worked for ten days and easily earned two yuan that I couldn't earn in a year.
Huang Chengzhong, who immediately wanted to share this joy with his family, immediately found his foreman and asked for two days off to go home.
The man in front of me from Shaanxi was particularly enthusiastic and was granted two days' leave by the foreman mentioned above without hesitation. Not only that, the foreman also promised Huang Chengzhong: After returning home, he would help the construction site recruit a Shaanxi man, and the construction site would give him half an ocean as a referral fee. And before leaving, he generously cut off two kilograms of pork from the construction site canteen for him to take home.
With two foreign dollars hidden close to his body and two kilograms of pork wrapped in oil paper, Huang Chengzhong set out on his way home with an uneasy look on his face.
"Master, aren't you working on the other side? Why are you back? Is it because the government doesn't pay us wages" Huang Chengzhong had just walked to the door of his house when he saw his head sticking out from the door. His face was sallow and thin, and everything was revealed Helpless wife and children.He waved his hand and looked around mysteriously to make sure there was no one behind him. Huang Chengzhong walked quickly into the yard and closed the door tightly under the puzzled eyes of both pairs of eyes. Then, he opened the oil paper wrapped with two kilograms of pork and said to his wife, whose eyes suddenly shone brightly: "What nonsense are you talking about? The National Defense Force has been very good to us workers"
After finishing speaking, he pointed at the pork on the table and showed off: "See these two kilograms of pork? This was cut off by the foreman himself before I came back What the hell are you doing, kid? Get these right away." Divide half of the pork into a stew and let the children eat meat to supplement their nutrition. While they are eating, I have good news to tell everyone"
In this poor family that only has one or two yuan to spare after a hard year, pork can only be eaten during the Chinese New Year, and all the food in your mouth is the residue of refined lard.
Therefore, the pork that Huang Chengzhong ate at home was definitely something the whole family had never eaten in their entire lives.
Looking at the greasy-mouthed children around him, Huang Chengzhong found that he seemed to have a new goal, to make money with the National Defense Force so that his family could eat pork every day.
After having a full meal, drive all the children out. Huang Chengzhong mysteriously took out two pieces of rice that had been warmed by body temperature and handed them to his wife. Under his puzzled and surprised gaze, he said: "This is my ten days' wages. You keep it safe, and when we save enough money, we will Marry the second son a wife and replace the thatched house with a brick house"
"So many" the wife asked in disbelief.
"Of course, you don't know that the government over there is very kind. No matter what we do for the government, the government will not let us do it in vain. We will be paid. But if we don't pay the Red Army here, not only will we not get paid after working hard, We are also required to pay public food. I am building a railway on the other side of the river. Not only can I eat meat every day, but I also get two cents in wages. The government will not deduct a penny and will pay it every ten days"
I saw my wife¡¯s disbelieving expression. Huang Chengzhong continued: "You won't know if you don't go, but you will know the difference only after you go. Do you know how many fields our in-laws have been allocated in total, and we only need to pay more grain taxes every year"
"Let me tell you, my in-laws have told me all these things Our in-laws are very good now. The five members of the family have a total of forty acres of land. They only need to pay two thousand kilograms of grain to the government as food tax every year. The rest of the harvest Everything is at the disposal of the in-laws."
¡°I probably did some calculations for my in-laws. In one year, my in-laws can harvest at least 10,000 kilograms of grain¡¡±
"In addition, the National Defense Forces on the other side of the river not only allocated fields to the in-laws and reduced the grain tax. They also provided free grain seeds and cattle for the in-laws. I also heard from the in-laws that the government will give everyone free distribution in the next few days. There is something called chemical fertilizer. When chemical fertilizer is spread on the fields, the yield per acre of land can be increased by at least 50%. By then, the in-laws' annual income will reach 15,000."
Hearing this, my wife¡¯s sallow face was filled with shock and envy for her in-laws.
After some hesitation, he tentatively asked Huang Chengzhong: "Master, do you want us to move to the other side of the river"
Huang Chengzhong shook his head and sighed: "You don't have to think about moving there My parents-in-law said that all the land over there has been allocated. Even if we move there, there will be no land for us"
"Besides, now I can earn six yuan a month by working on the other side of the river, which is enough. In addition, before I came back, our foreman gave me a way to make money. Now the construction site is very short of workers. The foreman Ask me to recruit people here. If I recruit a Shaanxi man, the foreman will give me half an ocean as an introduction fee"
"Give me the total, where can we go to recruit people to the construction site"
For the wife in front of me, six yuan is also an income that she has never thought of before.
So, just for a moment, the wife accepted this fact.
After thinking about it, he said to Huang Chengzhong: "Master, it's not a busy farming world now. Our village only has men. However, we can't call anyone in the village who joins the Red Army. After all, they are working for the National Defense Forces on the other side of the river. We must Take good precautions"
"You are still thoughtful" Huang Chengzhong replied in agreement.
Then, he said to his wife: "My dear, I remember none of our relatives joined the Red Army. If such a good thing is to be cheap, we should make it cheaper for our own relatives first. In this way, I will go to my second uncle right away." Let¡¯s take a look at his home, and also go to his uncle¡¯s house. Anyway, I am idle now, so I might as well go out and work to make money"
After a long period of starvation, few people can resist the temptation of the ocean.
Huang Chengzhong onlyWithin a day, fifteen people insisted on crossing the river with Huang Chengzhong to do work. Not only that, among these fifteen people, there were three members of the Red Army.
?According to Huang Chengzhong¡¯s Far Eastern thinking, he originally did not intend to take them across the river. However, after getting repeated assurances from them that they would keep it a secret, and for the sake of the neighbors, they agreed to take them to build the railway.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????¡
During the chatting with each other, Huang Chengzhong brought him back. The land policy and tax policy, which were more flexible than the Red Party Red Army, were also like the plague, quickly spreading in the local area and threatening to sweep the entire Shaanxi.
¡°And Huang Chengzhong here is just a small pawn in the National Defense Forces¡¯ layout in Shaanxi. There are at least thousands of such wives on both sides of the Yellow River. Under the temptation of the ocean and a better life, they have gradually become free propagandists for the National Defense Forces.
At the headquarters of the 021st Division of the Linyi National Defense Force, the division commander He Shiyan was excitedly reporting to Li Guosheng a series of progress in his deployment of the Red Party.
"Headquarters, a total of 10,000 tons of chemical fertilizers have been distributed to households with the help of the soldiers and used in the fields. If nothing unexpected happens, the local people will be able to see the harvest in four months at the latest"
"The railway construction is also progressing very rapidly. Attracted by the monthly salary of six yuan, the people in Shaanxi on the other side of the Yellow River are like wolves smelling the smell of blood, and they have joined the railway construction army."
"According to the latest statistics, the total number of people building this railway has reached 20,000, of which 15,000 are Shaanxi men from across the river"
"Our intelligence officers scattered throughout Shaanxi Province also sent back the first good news: with the free publicity of thousands of railway workers, our land policy and tax policy that are better than the Red Party Red Army have been completely popular among the bottom people of Shaanxi Spread. Not only that, under the influence of our low grain tax, many local people have begun to refuse to hand over public grain to the Red Party Red Army"
"As for the military, due to the generous military pay and welfare benefits of our army, many Shanxi people who joined the Red Army and entered Shaanxi have fled back to Shanxi through various means. Preliminary statistics indicate that the number has exceeded 500."
"Under the influence of various preferential policies of our National Defense Force, the secret Red Party organizations operating in our defense zone have been unable to continue their activities, and many people have even taken the initiative to report the existence of these people to the government. Of course, as long as they are reported by the people, If you are willing to quit the Red Party, you can continue to live here. If you are not willing, just send him out of Shanxi." - Didn't finish reading?
