Early the next morning, Gu Biao said goodbye to Yan Ping and Su Zetian, and followed Ma Feng on the road back to Qiantang.

He was also very polite and left his contact address (no phone, only a mailing address), so that Yan Ping could find him if he had something to do in the future.

I rushed to the long-distance bus station in the county seat and bought a ticket with the admission letter. Because of the small number of trains, they had to wait until noon to leave, so Gu Biao and Ma Feng casually walked around the small square in front of the station for a while.

Because it is estimated that they will not come to Huizhou Province in the future, Gu Biao and Ma Feng left all the food stamps and meat stamps of Hui Province to Yan Ping last night, so as not to waste them. I just kept some dry food with me for the next day's journey.

At that time, most of the various stamps were supplied by provinces, except for the national food stamps, the rest of the provinces were like waste paper.

Because there was no ticket, Gu Biao had nothing to buy after shopping with Ma Feng for a long time, at most he could only visit Xinhua Bookstore and buy a few books.

However, there are not many interesting goods in the bookstores in the small county town, and after a month or two at most, Gu Biao feels that he has faded out.

At this time, I really need things like "drinks, beer, mineral water, peanuts, melon seeds, and eight-treasure porridge" to pass the time, but unfortunately I can't buy it without a ticket.

Gu Biao, who was accustomed to sitting on the high-speed rail in later generations, never understood why there were so many snacks on the green car, but now he can be regarded as a personal experience.

When Gu Biao was bored, he was still sharp-eyed, pointed to a human-powered tricycle in the corner of the square, and whispered: "Eh, Brother Gu, do you see, that tricycle says 'free tickets for speculation', is it a speculative one? Let's go buy some." ”

Gu Biao was slightly short-sighted, and his eyes were really not as good as Ma Feng. After listening to the reminder, he squinted and noticed a piece of cardboard with the words "fool melon seed" hanging on the car.

As for the small characters in the second line, Gu Biao was too lazy to read it.

Later, after the Third Plenum of the Central Committee of the CPC Central Committee was held, the Central Committee took his case and discussed whether hired workers were counted as capitalist exploitation. ”

In Gu Ao's mind, he immediately reacted.

For people who like to watch period dramas in later generations, the long-aged fool is too famous.

It can be said that the life and death of the 18 households in Xiaogang Village represent the reform of agriculture, and the "fool and melon seed" who have been in the country for a long time represent the reform of the employment system of self-employed people in the city. And this year, Guangjiu, like Xiaogang Village, is a typical "Diao Min" in Hui Province-

There is no pejorative meaning of "Diao Min" here, it just means that they dare to take risks. In the first five years of the reform, the Hui merchants developed better than the merchants of Wuyue and eastern Guangdong. Mainly Zhejiang and Cantonese businessmen rely on calculation and sense of smell to do business. And the Hui merchants are completely fat by guts, even if they may be shot, they still dare to rush up.

Later, the policy gradually became clearer, and the competitive advantage of the bold was not obvious.

Gu Biao got up with the idea of social research, so he took a few yuan and went up with Ma Feng to buy melon seeds:

"Comrade, two sunflower seeds. ”

The pedaling of the tricycle was a middle-aged man with sunken cheeks and deep wrinkles like ravines. Rough hands and feet, at first glance, he was born a poor peasant.

Hearing Gu Biao's opening for two yuan, the middle-aged man wiped his face with the broken towel around his neck, and asked with a crooked mouth: "Little brother, have you ever bought anything?" Do you know how many melon seeds are for two yuan?"

Gu Biao said indifferently: "Just weigh me two catties, you don't have to look for it, and the rest of the money will buy you to answer a few questions from me." ”

The middle-aged man put the cigarette in his mouth behind his ear again, grinned, waved a shovel, scooped up a spoonful of fried melon seeds, and poured it into a triangular "Renren Daily".

"No need to weigh it, two catties is only a lot more. The middle-aged man confidently handed the newspaper bag to Gu Biao, "If you want to talk about something, it won't affect my business." ”

"Are you old for a long time?" Gu Biao didn't want to be false and wronged with a hawker, so he got straight to the point.

After all, he is already a college student, and as long as the small merchant and peddler know his identity, he will basically answer his questions.

College students in '78 are rare.

When the middle-aged man was asked like this, he was still a little proud: "Look at you, you are also a student from other places." It seems that my sixth oldest is not a small reputation. ”

Sure enough, it was him.

Gu Biao asked again: "I remember that you are not a local, right? ”

Nian Guangjiu was in a good mood: "I am in Wuzhou next door, and I sell fried goods like this - people buy fried goods and put them at home, at least they can eat them for a few months, how can they sell them if they stay in one place? Besides, it's almost the New Year, of course, I have to run around all over the place." I stay in one county for two days at most. ”

Gu Biao nodded secretly when he heard this, realizing that this was indeed the case.

Roasted dried fruits are easy to store for a long time, so you don't need to buy them for a long time after you buy them. And there is still half a month is the Spring Festival, and the Chinese people have the habit of setting fruit plates and entertaining New Year's guests during the New Year, so melon seeds and peanuts are indeed the best sales before the year.

The base of Nian Guangjiu is in Wuzhou, which is also located in the southern part of Hui Province, so it is logical that the business covers Wuzhou, Xuanzhou and Mashan.

In just a few sentences, you can analyze this person's rather simple business mind.

Even Ma Feng on the side almost wanted to take out a small notebook to take notes.

Gu Biao then asked another question that he was most concerned about: "Uncle, then you fried melon seeds, do you want to hire a helper?"

This question made Nian Guangjiu a little more vigilant, but seeing that Gu Biao seemed to be a cheerful person, he still answered: "When you are busy, please hire four or five helpers, and your own family is usually enough." The melon seeds are harvested, and you don't have to grow them yourself. ”

Gu Biao: "Then you're not going to expand the scale of employment, are you?"

Nian Guangjiu: "How is it possible! Now it's enough to be sneaky, who dares to recruit more people!"

Gu Biao listened to it and secretly thought: As long as the scale is not expanded, after the meeting at the end of the year, his case is worth listening to.

However, the operation method needs to be more delicate.

In the process of chatting, such thoughts inevitably popped up from Gu Ao's mind: "I remember that in history, several top decisions to speed up the process of opening up were caused by the leaders who heard some examples by chance.

For example, before the Third Plenary Session of the Central Committee, Deng Gong heard about the life and death of 18 households in Xiaogang Village, which immediately led to a doubling of grain output that year and a solution to the food and clothing of the whole village overnight. Then he shouted the word 'good', and everything was legalized, and later it was written into the constitution.

Nian Guangjiu's case was also written into "Deng Xuan" three times, which promoted the development of history. If I have the ability to do some work at the propaganda port, help the information to upload and distribute...... Maybe it can not only benefit the country and the people, but also earn some fame and reputation. ”

Gu Biao is very measured, he knows which historical nodes can be touched and which cannot be touched.

For example, the kind of thing that "planted the flag and cut the flag", even if it was written by a propaganda mouth, he would never dare to touch it, and it was possible to die or go to prison.

Whether it is "Studying the Document and Grasping the Outline" of one school, or "Practice is the only criterion for testing truth" of the other school. Even if you are a professor in the Ma Zhe Department of Jinling University and write an article of this level, you will be in the cold for a few years, and when the struggle is decided, the one who presses the treasure will be promoted instantly. (For example, Professor Ma Zhe of Jinling University became a senior official of the Propaganda Department of Jiangnan Province after separating the winner from the loser.) ）

However, there is another kind of propaganda and debate work that ordinary journalists or college students from prestigious central universities can touch—that is, helping to upload and distribute, or being responsible for explaining and acknowledging social reality.

Because in this kind of thing, the state has actually unanimously decided to do this, but it lacks a fig leaf of theoretical or factual arguments, and it is embarrassed to do it publicly. You accidentally handed a fig leaf to it, which is not a taboo.

When these things are legalized, sometimes it's just a matter of seeing when the example goes up to heaven. The sooner you hear it, the sooner it is legalized.

Just like in World War II, President Roosevelt and General Li May actually wanted to bomb Tokyo's demilitarized zone with incendiary bombs, but they were trapped by the notoriety of "massacring civilians" and had no face to do it.

At this time, the professors of Harvard Law School took the initiative to tell General Li Mei: "Because of the special structure of the military industry, it does not have a comprehensive socialized large-scale production like the United States." He subcontracted a large number of primary parts to ordinary family workshops for processing, so the bombing of the Tokyo Demilitarized Zone was not a massacre of civilians, but a blow to the military industry of Tokyo."

As soon as the fig leaf was handed over, Li Mei immediately waved her hand and burned to death more than 100,000 Tokyo civilians.

If the Harvard law professor had told Li Mei about that article three months earlier, perhaps Tokyo would have been blown up three months earlier.

But even if the United States were to lose the war, if it wanted to shoot war criminals, it would only shoot Li Mei, not those Harvard law professors.

This kind of business is simply too suitable for Gu Biao, who is studying at the Foreign Affairs Academy, isn't diplomats doing this kind of thing that sells their lips and reverses black and white.

……

Gu Biao was thinking of the place of pride, but the "bang" sound of Nian Guangjiu letting go of the tricycle handbrake woke him up from his contemplation.

When he looked up, he found that Nian Guangjiu had already run away on the tricycle, and when he ran, he did not forget to separate one hand and stuff the cardboard with the signboard into the trunk.

Ten seconds later, two guys wearing vests, temporarily taking out red armbands and putting them on their sleeves, rushed over.

"Do you see clearly? Is the cardboard on the car written 'fool melon'?" Seeing that he didn't catch up, a fat man at the head asked his attendant out of breath.

"Captain, you can see clearly, it's really him. It's a pity that it was run away again. The thin man with the red lacquered stick replied.

"Dogs, they're all in plain clothes, and they're such thieves!" the fat man couldn't help but curse.

After taking a breath, the fat man saw that there were two more nearby, Gu Biao and Ma Feng, who were pacing slowly in the direction of the bus station.

"Stop, don't run. We are the song committee pickets!"

Gu Biao stood up casually: "Call me, comrade, please speak Mandarin." ”

The fat man's Mandarin was obviously not standard, but he could hear that Gu Biao's pronunciation was very standard, and he didn't dare to make a mistake, for fear that he was a passenger from a big city.

So he could only barely hold back a mouthful of Huipu: "Little comrade, did you just ask the tricycle rider to buy melon seeds?"

Gu Biao replied confidently: "No, we just wait for the train and take a stroll around the square in front of the station." We have all left Hui Province, and we have not left any tickets, so what can we buy? Now, at most, we just bought two books, which were bought at the Xinhua Bookstore over there, so can we also check this? Could it be that your Xinhua Bookstore still sells reactionary publications?"

"You...... Don't talk nonsense!" The fat man was suppressed so that he was a head shorter, and said angrily, "Open the bag, let's check it!"

Saying that, they directly used force.

Gu Biao didn't want to have an armed confrontation, so he didn't keep quiet.

The thin man's attendant took out a "Renren Daily" wrapped in melon seeds, and immediately showed it to the captain as if he were making a contribution.

"How else do you explain?" said the fat man, smug.

Gu Biao sneered: "The newspaper was put in our bag casually, and the melon seeds were bought and scattered in the town yesterday." What are you doing with the melon seeds in Renren Daily? Do you want to insult the articles above?"

"You...... You're talking nonsense! It's obvious that you originally took this newspaper bag of melon seeds!" Seeing that Gu Biao was beaten upside down, the fat man became even more angry.

He was afraid that a scholar like Gu Biao would make trouble again, so he decided to make a decision immediately.

"Hmph, do you think I won't be able to recognize it with a newspaper bag?" said the fat man, took out a few melon seeds, took a sip in public, and then asked Gu Biao proudly,

"It's so fragrant! Dare to say that you bought it from the town! This smell is a speculative fool! Come on, come on, the villagers will judge whether this outsider is lying!"

GU BIAO LAUGHED: "HEHE, IT TURNS OUT THAT THE REAL FRAGRANCE IS A FOOLISH MELON SEED WHO IS SPECULATIVE - THEN YOU MEAN THAT THE SOCIETY PAYS ATTENTION TO THE FRIED MELON SEEDS ARE NOT FRAGRANT! OKAY, LET'S GO, FOLLOW ME TO THE XUAN TRANSMISSION DEPARTMENT OF THE PROVINCIAL PARTY COMMITTEE." I'll give you a critique. ”

The onlookers who had just gathered on the side also laughed and coaxed: "Hahaha, Captain Liang, it turns out that the real fragrance is speculative, we all heard it." ”

The fat man's face was red and white for a while, seeing that Gu Biao's words were so sharp, he was afraid that he was really a backstage in the propaganda mouth, so he sneaked away while wiping his sweat at the moment.
