Chapter 452: A Trip to Yan'an (3)

"Yunhua, how have you been in Yan'an these days, and what is the difference between Yan'an and Guisui?" Surprisingly, the chairman did not comment on Han Yunhua's question, but asked Han Yunhua how he felt in Yan'an.

Han Yunhua also knew the contradiction in the chairman's heart now, although the Soviet Union did not give much actual support now, the Soviet Union could give the National Administration more than a dozen Soviet infantry divisions of equipment, and even let the National Administration of the People's Republic of China use these infantry divisions equipped with Soviet equipment to besiege the Soviet area. But ** must not turn against the CPSU now, the consequences of doing so are very serious, after all, it is now a tiger-skin banner for the CPSU. Although there is no substantial benefit to having the protection of this tiger skin banner, it can make the enemy on the surface have some scruples, but if this tiger skin banner is lost, the environment outside China will suddenly become very bad.

Knowing this, Han Yunhua didn't ask too much, after all, some things only need to be clicked lightly, and talking too much is not beautiful.

"Hehehe, a good place in Yan'an City" Han Yunhua was about to say some high-sounding words, after all, in addition to the good appearance of the people in Yan'an, whether it is the natural environment or the people's living standards, they cannot be compared with the people of Guisui.

"To tell the truth, you kid dare to fool me, tomorrow I will transfer you back to Yan'an to attend classes at Kang University, anyway, the party's call for you to return to Yan'an is not low." The chairman cryptically said some high-level secrets.

Han Yunhua was shocked, but there was no expression on his face, and he still said with a smile: "Hehe, then I really said it?" ”

"Say it, I also want to hear your military cadres who often fight on the front line what they say about Yan'an, what you hear from your mouth is the most real." The chairman said with emotion.

"Yan'an is generally not bad, but there are still some problems, which can be summed up in one sentence: material life is scarce, and the life of the god is full."

"How?"

"That is to say, the city of Yan'an has a very good appearance, whether it is the people in the city or the army, they are full of vitality, people are easily infected here, there is hope here, it can be said that Yan'an is the fire of China's **. However, the living standards of the people in Yan'an are really too poor, not a little worse than those in Guisui, and even the living standards of the common people in some of the occupied areas cannot catch up. Han Yunhua told the truth and told the chairman everything he saw and thought.

The chairman paused for a while before saying: "You are very right, the current situation in Yan'an is exactly what you said, but the reality is like this, the troops are not even enough military rations, and where do the people in our rear go to improve their living conditions." Since it is not possible to improve the living standards of the common people, then they can only improve the standard of living of their jīng gods. There's no way around it."

Han Yunhua knew that the chairman was telling the truth, and the material life in the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo border area during the Anti-Japanese War was very difficult. The border area is originally a barren place, the natural conditions are harsh, mainly planting crops such as miscellaneous grains with a relatively short growing season and strong drought tolerance x-ng, and the yield is very low, and the people's food is mainly millet and other miscellaneous grains; Animal husbandry is mainly sheep raising, clothing mainly relies on homespun cloth and skin, since ancient times, this is a place that can barely be self-sufficient, once a natural disaster occurs, people here can only leave their hometowns, so this has always been one of the several major sources of peasant uprisings, like Li Zicheng and others in the late Ming Dynasty are people born here.

Second, the reality of the situation has aggravated the poverty level in the Yan'an area, since the Red Army reached the border area after climbing the snow-capped mountains and crossing the grasslands, a large number of outsiders have come to the border area, and all the consumption of the troops has to be supported by the people in the border area. At the same time, after the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression entered the stalemate stage, the Kuomintang army adopted an economic blockade policy and suspended the payment of military salaries to the Eighth Route Army in the border areas, and all foreign aid in the border areas was almost completely cut off, and necessities such as cotton huā and cloth were forbidden to flow in, resulting in difficulties in eating and dressing in the border areas.

However, these are not necessarily insurmountable, let alone unchangeable, Han Yunhua thought for a while and said: "Chairman, during this period of time, I have conducted a long period of observation and visit in Yan'an, and I have seen some good places and some bad phenomena, the phenomenon of 'clothing is divided into three grades and food is divided into five grades' in our army has caused dissatisfaction among the majority of intellectuals and the people, but the root cause of all this lies in the underdeveloped economy and lack of materials in the border areas. As long as we solve this problem, everything else can be solved, and the rich jīng god life in our border area can also be preserved or carried forward, so that Yan'an can truly become a holy place for our members. ”

Speaking of this, Han Yunhua thought of the full jīng god face of the people of Yan'an that he saw a few days ago, although the material life in the border area was difficult, the jīng god life was rich. Weekend evenings, new Yangge sports, dance parties and sports, a variety of amateur entertainment activities are adapted to the needs of people of different levels and hobbies. On weekends, there are those who attend the party, those who dance, those who sing Peking Opera, and those who sing Pingju. From the perspective of social life, the Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region during the Anti-Japanese War was a relatively open society.

"It's not easy to talk about, the economic development situation in the border area is very worrying, we have discussed it many times, and we have found a lot of experts who have made great achievements in the economy, but we have not found a solution, so so" The chairman did not go on with the next words, but Han Yunhua knew what the chairman meant.

Han Yunhua also knows that it is indeed not easy for these leaders in this era, not to mention the chairman of the M-O opposite, and even Chairman Jiang, who has always had a lot of money, is at a loss in terms of economy. If the fiscal revenue of the National Government is calculated according to the budget revenue of 1 billion yuan per year, the war expenditure alone is twice the total fiscal revenue. In fact, the fiscal revenue of the National Government did not reach the budgeted figure, and between 1938 and 1941, the annual fiscal revenue was only about 400 million yuan, compared with the 1 billion yuan budget of 1937, and only 40 yuan was received. Before the war, the affluent eastern regions were the main source of fiscal revenues for the national government. After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, this area quickly fell, which caused the fiscal revenue of the national government to decrease rapidly, and the average monthly fiscal revenue from August to December 1937 was only 16 million yuan, which was more than half of the amount before the July Seven Incident. In the first two years of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, however, military expenditures had increased to more than 1 billion yuan per year, while "the fiscal expenditures in the second half of 1937 and 1938 had rapidly increased to 321.9 billion yuan, offsetting the 71.6 billion yuan in fiscal revenue during this period, resulting in a deficit of 251.2 billion yuan." Even the national government is in such a situation, not to mention the border district government with only a few dozen counties, and it is no wonder that the chairman does not believe that Han Yunhua has the ability to solve the difficulties encountered by the border district government at the moment.

Thinking of this, Han Yunhua suddenly realized that the chairman did not answer the reason for his previous question, and the chairman told himself that if these problems were not solved, he would not be able to solve the problems he raised at all, after all, the superstructure is based on the economy. On the other hand, if you solve these problems yourself, then the next thing will be solved. Han Yunhua suddenly appreciated the clever skills of politicians in this era, and people didn't answer those sensitive questions directly at all, but just told you from the side that I didn't want to do it but that I couldn't do it, and if I did it, something big would happen. Han Yunhua secretly smiled bitterly, the chairman is the chairman, and such a clever method cannot be learned by himself.

In fact, the root cause of these problems is the problem of economic development, and the root cause of economic development is the problem of materials. If you are separated from others, you may still ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ］
