Lyudbalev was still very good at how to govern a city, and according to Stalin's set of policies, in order to complete the industrialization strategy in the early forties, in order to accomplish it, it was necessary to have a large number of rural dwellers, leaving the collective farms and going to the cities, becoming workers and clerks of state enterprises.

Lyudbalev prides himself on doing a good job of settling these vast laborers and converting them into citizens. There were many such state-owned factories in the city of Gomel, but suddenly the war broke out and all plans were disrupted.

Having come to this swampland, which was originally almost undeveloped, to re-establish the city again, Lyudbaryov and his comrades had great motivation.

A large number of refugees poured into the collective farms, many of whom were not peasants, but fleeing citizens. Most of these people are women, at least with some training. Handicraft workshops have been set up, and the number of these workshops has been increasing in response to the needs of the mass production movement, all supported by the municipal party committee personnel.

After lunch, Lyudbalev just wanted to take a nap, and suddenly the herald was ordered to report that there was a meeting at the division headquarters.

"What emergency meeting can there be at this time, and it is necessary to call all the main responsible persons of the municipal party committee?" Suspicious, he led several important assistants straight to the division headquarters.

The venue has been set up a little, and Yang Mingzhi also took advantage of the break to organize the language and write a simple draft.

"You called me to a meeting, what problems have arisen in the army that need to be solved by the municipal party committee?" Lyudbalev asked straight to the point.

"That's right! is a problem. Yang Mingzhi stood up and stretched out his right hand to invite the group to sit down.

The meeting was serious, and we couldn't talk casually with the old guy at the division headquarters just now. Yang Mingzhi straightened his waist, although he was not the presiding officer of the meeting, he was indeed the most critical person in the meeting.

Yevlov explained a little: "It's three o'clock in the afternoon, and the reason why the Novgomel city party committee came here is to discuss a plan to reform military control. ”

"Oh? Are there any new policies that you've come up with? ”

"Yes, we decided to restore the currency trading system." Yang Mingzhi said solemnly.

For Lyudbalev, it is very correct to implement a strict rationing system in military control, and in the face of death threats, sacrifice some interests of ordinary people and arm the army with all their might, so as to effectively strike at the enemy.

Yang Mingzhi had already prepared his words, and he clearly introduced the set of things he had just discussed to the members of the municipal party committee. The repercussions are also expected.

"What? Do you think that the burden of rationing on the collective farm workers is so great that it restricts the productive forces? So to restore currency exchange, or even issue a new type of currency to replace fiat currency. Could it be that simply stopping rationing and resuming trade would greatly increase productivity? ”

Yelenkina kicked Yang Mingzhi under the table, and he said violently: "Of course! That's what I think. ”

Lyudbalev's eyes couldn't help but sharpen, you must know that the Soviet authorities have begun rationing, and now the methods discussed by the three of them are different from the leader's policy.

"In January of this year, the state began to levy a war tax, which all adults have to pay, including retirees," he said. The proportion of agricultural taxes and various industrial taxes has also been raised, all so that we can win the war. These policies are being implemented in peaceful areas. But in a war zone, military control is absolute. The fighting in this swamp is very tough, it's still a war zone, and I think we should follow the rules. If your reforms hurt the development of the army, and there is no need for the people of the Internal Affairs Commissariat, the flaunting Germans will come in, and the consequences will be borne by us. Do you have such an awareness? ”

"Of course we have! And I don't think it's a pure war zone. Yang Mingzhi said righteously.

Lyudbalev's remarks were indeed somewhat unexpected, since he said that in the peaceful zone, the Soviet Union's taxes were heavier than before, and this was of course necessary under the conditions of war. In addition to these, the standard of living of the Soviets has fallen dramatically, but it has not reached a state of abject poverty that cannot survive.

But here in Novgomel, the finances of the fleeing crowd are almost nothing more than their ragged clothes, and full rationing is the only way to prevent people from starving to death.

"In the past few months, the worst attack in Novgomel was when the German air force bombed the airfield in Catfish Village into a fish pond, and we also lost a lot of people," Yang said. In addition to this, the losses suffered by the individual villages are negligible. A series of ground battles stopped twenty kilometers from the village, and we pulled the show directly to the enemy camp. By this standard, we cannot speak of a purely belligerent. So we can therefore implement the model of a peaceful area in the interior, where normal currency trade is perfectly legal. ”

Lyudbalev carefully looked at this Chinese, as a military commander, who had scored a 1-5 casualties in recent battles, and this person could be called a rare famous general. His remarks seemed to have an understanding of economics, and this man must have been a figure in China before he came to the Soviet Union.

He didn't think much about it, the three most important people of the 284th Division unanimously adopted the new decision, and here there were people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs. When it comes to the policy of the Soviet Union, who could have more judicial power than Yerentina? Lyudbalev chose to listen.

Yang Mingzhi perked up his spirits and stated his plan: "I hope that the comrades of the city party committee will agree with our decision to issue a kind of exchange voucher in Novgomel that can be used as currency, with grain and especially potatoes as a guarantee, and the credibility of the army and the Novgomel city party committee as a guarantee.

But rationing is not going away, and I am not against rationing. Elderly and young children, who are unable to participate in labor, receive food rations. Workers are only given food rations after completing their assigned tasks, and the weight of this ration is lowered to motivate them to work harder. In order to get more food, more other supplies, they have to work hard......"

Yang Mingzhi said a lot of things that seemed normal to him, because these patterns were very similar to what happened to China in that plane when it was just reopened. Because the commodity economy is underdeveloped, the society is transitioning from a fully planned economy to a market economy, and it is at this time that Yang Mingzhi has a comprehensive exchange of "exchange coupons" that can be used as currency. In addition, the circulation of money is completely normal, and the parallel of the two has allowed China to pass through the necessary transition period.

In this respect, China is much wiser than the Soviet Union. For the sake of the Soviet Union, he died on reforms, and the country collapsed after he was sick and rushed to the hospital.

He handed over his manuscript to Lyudbalev and other members of the municipal party committee who were injured, and the rules and regulations here seemed to be a "new economic policy."

After some scrutiny and thought, Lyudbalev couldn't help asking: "You decided that one exchange coupon corresponds to 500 grams of potatoes, and I remember that one work point is also exchanged for so much." Is this the standard of all redemption? You are continuing the same system of exchange as you are. ”
