Chapter 17 Convergence of the edge
Yang Dongxu actually doesn't approve of selling Chinese cabbage now, and now it's just entering the wax moon, and there is still a period of time before the New Year. The cabbage will not be spoiled if it is covered with household hay, and it will definitely be more profitable to keep it until the Chinese New Year and then send it to the city.
Yang Dongxu's grandfather has little confidence in selling vegetables to make money, although the land is barren, but I don't know if it is the reason for planting Chinese cabbage for the first time, and nearly 4,000 catties of Chinese cabbage were harvested from two acres of land. This made Grandpa Yang Dongxu happy and worried.
So now I am starting to sell vegetables non-stop, for fear that so many Chinese cabbages will be crowded at the end of the year and will not be able to sell. In fact, Yang Dongxu really wants to say that not to mention this bit of Chinese cabbage, that is, at the end of the month when the New Year is rich in goods in later generations, it can be sold by adding a 0 to the back of these total weight Chinese cabbages.
One or two are standard, one is at least five or six catties, and even if two are ten catties, Yangjia Village can consume about 5,000 catties. Four thousand catties of cabbage is a fart, and it can't even bubble up when it is pulled into the city.
It's a pity that no one listens to his little boy, and he is so happy to see that his grandfather and father are so active in selling vegetables, so he doesn't block them anymore. It's good to be happy, it's not that last year's poor couldn't open the pot, and now I don't care about the three melons and two dates.
Walking into Mr. Zhou's house, Zhou Yiren was reading the letter. The first secretary who had spoken to him was transferred back to Yanjing at the end of October, so it was no longer as easy for the two of them to meet as before, but they could only communicate.
Naturally, the letter was not delivered by the postman, and the service attitude of the post office in the later generations was still speechless when it was about to be squeezed and could not survive, not to mention that the current officials are all uncles, and the employees of state-owned enterprises are at least a big daddy.
Nowadays, the postman usually delivers the letter to the school, and then the teacher arranges to look at the letter from the village and let the students bring it back from school.
Or send it directly to the town, and someone from your village will go to the town to do an errand, and the postman will meet and say hello, and you will pick it up yourself. I didn't greet you to take the letter and put it at the post office, anyway, it must be you who is in a hurry to send you a letter, not him. If you're in a hurry, you'll definitely ask.
Seeing Yang Dongxu come in, Zhou Yiren didn't put down the letter in his hand, but pouted at the newspaper next to him. A wad of the latest newspapers was placed next to it, and it was brought back with the letters.
Now Zhou Yiren is no longer a labor reformer who almost died in the cowshed two years ago, but a great intellectual who makes Yangjia Village respect. Of course, it would be better if he could get a little closer to the district commissioner through him.
For these, Zhou Yiren naturally looked at it in his eyes, he was as kind to people as ever, and he just smiled and said nothing about excessive requirements, and those who made requests could only blush and bow their heads and stop talking, and the current people are much more embarrassed than the people in the future.
After refusing to accept a few parents who came to the door with gifts, Zhou Yiren's side slowly quieted down. From time to time, there are chickens, fish, meat and eggs sent by the villagers, he will also selectively accept some, and then give some return gifts, the water is clear, there is no fish, although he is a big intellectual, but he is not an old-fashioned This truth is still understood.
After reading through the newspapers, there was nothing too unusual. Although judging from some policy reports in the newspapers, the state has begun to encourage small traders, hawkers, small handicraftsmen, and even WLMQ has approved contracts with Hong Kong and RB to jointly operate woolen mills.
Even with the encouragement of the state, the people are still afraid that there will be another chaos, so they are all waiting and seeing, and the great wave of all-round economic development in the past one or two years has not yet been set off.
In Yang Dongxu's impression, it was not until about 90 years that people in Yangjia Village went out to work. In other words, the policies encouraged ten years ago did not blow to the countryside until ten years later.
It can be seen that the impact of that decade is not only a waste of ten years on the surface, but also a greater loss of intangible things. You must know that after the founding of the People's Republic of China, the people under the Great Leap Forward country waved their hands, but they killed ghosts and killed gods when they encountered gods.
"Do you have any thoughts on the free market?" Zhou Yiren asked, folding the letter he had read in his hand and stuffing it into the envelope. It is not Chinese, but Russian.
When Yang Dongxu memorized a thick book of Russian Marxism-Leninism from beginning to end, Zhou Yiren no longer tested his ability to write and recite Russian silently, but began to practice speaking with him.
"I don't think it's going to work better than I thought, and progress is still slow. Yang Dongxu shook his head in Russian.
Nowadays, people, especially peasants, have a blind entourage. When they see someone around them making money, they will follow to see if they can make money.
There are smart ones who sell cabbage, and I sell eggs. It is also the nature of the Chinese to sell all the cabbage in a swarm of bees without using their brains, and there is a joke in later generations that is very classic.
There was a gas station next to a foreign highway that was very profitable, so other people started to open a supermarket next to it and it was also profitable, and then someone opened a restaurant next to it, and the business was good, and slowly the gas station that was originally desolate around it prospered.
And in China, it's very profitable to open a gas station next to the road, so someone else opens a gas station opposite you, and then someone opens two gas stations on your left and right, and slowly ...... Everyone drinks the northwest wind together.
However, this kind of blind obedience is not necessarily bad, for example, blind obedience is not bad now. Seeing that Yang Dongxu's family was making money, the people of Yangjia Village moved, and when they saw that the people of Yangjia Village were making money, the people of the surrounding villages followed suit.
Now the material base is extremely scarce, so it can't cause any runs, or price wars, everyone can make money in charge of their own small things, and the market in the town and even the city is positive.
That's why Yang Dongxu said that the effect is better than imagined. But the progress is a bit slow, because the real small traders and hawkers have not appeared, and the so-called second-class dealers have not appeared. The peasants sold their own things, and few people bought other people's things and sold them in the city to make the difference.
Even the aquatic products sold by Yang Dongxu's family in the summer are not even fair trade, although their family seems to earn a little more than other families. But it's just because there is a large number of supply and marketing cooperatives, and if you set up your own stalls to sell like other villagers, the value of labor will not be lost.
Yang Dongxu didn't want to call a black-hearted second-class dealer to appear, but to guide him appropriately. After all, the peasants are not real businessmen, and the liquidity of the market can only be accelerated when there are more small merchants and hawkers, because the economic impetus generated by profit-chasing businessmen is immeasurable.
It is a pity that in this era, the crime of speculation has made all the businessmen sprout stillborn, except for the adventure of a few families who really can't open the pot, although people's lives are more convenient and free than before, but this degree is still limited.
"What do you think of the newly established Special Economic Zone?" Zhou Yiren said after a moment of contemplation.
"I haven't been to the SEZ to see it, and I haven't seen it before, so I don't have any views on the development of the SEZ. Yang Dongxu grinned innocently.
Zhou Yiren glanced at Yang Dongxu and shook his head helplessly.
Sometimes Zhou Yiren feels that the child in front of him, who is less than seven years old, is like a wise man about his own age, who has insight into the development of the current era.
It's a pity that the little kid in front of him is slippery like a loach, and he is extraordinarily shrewd in small things, and he pretends to be confused and never interferes when he encounters big things.
For example, he is very concerned about the affairs of Wuli Zhen and Yangjia Village, and is happy to see Yangjia Village and the surrounding villages live a good life.
But if he rises to Chengwang District, he will begin to hide it, and if he rises to Anhui Province, he will pretend to be confused, and he will rise to the country and keep his mouth shut. For this reason, Zhou Yiren has thought of various methods, but he can't change Yang Dongxu's temperament.
The sparrow can be fed without opening its mouth, but after feeding, it will spit it out for you, what can you do to keep it alive?
"Twice as much schoolwork today. Zhou Yiren took off his reading glasses and wiped them with the corners of his clothes, took the newspaper and read it, let's take care of Yang Dongxu, this is one of the few punishments he can take out every time he encounters Yang Dongxu pretending to be stupid.
Yang Dongxu, who was used to it, didn't say anything, the innocent look on his face continued, and he took a book of Russian poetry and read it with his tongue like a knot.
In fact, Yang Dongxu didn't want to play tricks, and he also wanted to do something. But when Zhou Yiren's eyes became brighter and brighter, the things discussed with him became bigger and sharper. It dawned on him that he seemed to have gone a little too far.
You are smart and have a good learning ability, which is a good explanation, and your brain is so good that you can draw inferences about the past when you encounter problems. But what you say, the opinions you give are even worse than those of the leaders at the city, provincial, and even national levels, which is not normal.
Although Yang Dongxu was sure that Zhou Yiren would not harm himself, others did not dare to guarantee it. Zhou Yiren always wanted to do something for the country and the people because of his scholarly nature, and he suddenly caught Yang Dongxu, if he got a treasure, he could understand.
But Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, and the pile will be turbulent above the shore current, he must restrain his edge and not be too prominent, Chen Weimin can run over more than once to talk to him, not to talk to Zhou Yiren.
Of course, Yang Dongxu understands this truth, and Zhou Yiren naturally understands it too. So although he was anxious, he only used this method to punish Yang Dongxu. Instead of persecuting anything, even Chen Weimin's side helped him to bring back a lot of things, so that Chen Weimin's gaze at Yang Dongxu no longer looked like he was looking at a monster.
Engrossed in completing today's schoolwork, and when he came out of Zhou Yiren's house, Yang Dongxu ran to the threshing floor and went crazy with a group of little children.
This is one of Yang Dongxu's cover-up methods to restrain his edge, in the past nearly a year, he has been too lonely, too well-behaved, although he has made his parents save face, and has become the neighbor's parents in the mouth of 'other people's children', but obviously this is not the result he wants.
So when one of the walls of a classroom in the school collapsed and couldn't go to class, the children were on vacation. Yang Dongxu also let go of himself, and it doesn't matter if he can find the happiness of his childhood.
It's not fun to let my dad slap his ass a few times every day if he is not naughty, and today he will either beat this little kid or beat that one tomorrow with a group of little kids.
The character of the bastard made him not become someone else's child in the neighbor's mouth, and the villagers, who had paid attention to his bizarre behavior, gradually scolded him for being a bastard.
Even Zhou Yiren felt that he was not too harsh before, although the child in front of him was very smart, observed many things meticulously and had a sensitive sense of smell, but after all, he was just a child, how could he be a wise man. Therefore, although he still discusses some things with Yang Dongxu, he no longer sits upright as before, becomes more and more casual, and more and more begins to think on his own.
