Chapter 503: Preparation for Concentrated Development

Although due to the change of history, the "Southern Anhui Incident" that shocked China and the rest of the world did not happen, but the Nationalist Government has stopped the food and salary supply of the Eighth Route Army and the border region government, and at the same time, it has also blockaded the Qinchuan River for 800 miles, and the economic blockade is a foregone conclusion, and the financial war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party is inevitable.

Since Han Yunhua's troops annihilated the Japanese army stationed in the "Gate" G Corps, he "took most of Suiyuan and Chahar as his own" and became a veritable prince who dominated one side. Han Yunhua is well aware of the importance of finance and trade to the development of a region, and the role played by currency, a general equivalent, in the entire financial system is extremely important, so there is no room for sloppiness.

Han Yunhua is not from studying finance, so he doesn't know much about economics, but Han Yunhua still knows the simple truth that he can't use other people's currency, so only hard currencies such as border currency and gold and silver can be circulated in the northern part of the country, and Han Yunhua strictly prohibits anyone and any unit from using yen, dollar, pound sterling, and even the legal tender issued by the national government fǔ cannot be used. The reason is that in addition to not wanting to be controlled by others, Han Yunhua, as a person who has a certain understanding of history, instinctively does not recognize the economy of the national government. Think about the skyrocketing prices in the Kuomintang now, although people have not yet reached the time to carry sacks of money to buy rice, but the fiat currency is far less valuable than it was in the 30s.

On the eve of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression in 1937, the total amount of legal tender issued was only more than 1.4 billion yuan, and during the eight-year War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the Kuomintang government used the legal tender to continuously expand the issuance to monopolize the national economy and loot the people's wealth. By the eve of Japan's surrender in August 1945, the issuance of fiat currency had reached 556.9 billion yuan, 360 times that of the early stage of the Anti-Japanese War.

In terms of purchasing power, 100 yuan of fiat currency could buy two big cows in 1937, a big cow and a calf in 1938, a big cow in 1939, a calf in 1940, a pig in 1941, a ham in 1942, a hen in 1943, half a hen in 1944, a fish in 1945, an egg in 1946, a briquette or a third of a fritter in 1947, and four grains of rice in 1948.

On February 20, 1946, the Kuomintang-controlled newspaper "Frontline Daily" published a report that, according to the results of a social survey, it was believed that the minimum living expenses of a family of five in Shanghai and other cities at that time was 156,000 yuan, but the actual purchasing power of such a huge figure was about 50 yuan in legal currency before the Anti-Japanese War, and 1,500 yuan today.

Such an ending is something Han Yunhua doesn't want to see, but Han Yunhua also knows that there are some things that won't happen if he doesn't want to see them, and many things are not transferred by manpower, and they are irresistible, so Han Yunhua must prepare early.

If you want to make a breakthrough in the financial system, you must have an understanding of finance and the economy of the entire military region, and at the same time, you must have the help of relevant authoritative figures in the field of economics to be responsible for the overall operation, otherwise it is easy to have problems.

Although Han Yunhua also "handed over" the task of understanding the economy in the defense zone to Qian Zhuangfei to deal with, he himself must have an objective understanding of this, so two weeks ago, Han Yunhua personally went to the market as soon as he had time to learn about the prices of various commodities in the market, mainly agricultural products. By the way, it is also to accompany his wife more, since they got married, the two of them have been together very little, and now they are about to separate again, to be honest, both of them are reluctant to separate, but in the ** era, life and death are often separated. For the sake of the country and the nation, the young couple can only cherish this time when they get together with each other.

Han Yunhua's family walked around the market for more than an hour, and then returned to the military compound by car. As soon as I entered the "door", I saw Political Commissar Luo playing in his yard with 3-year-old Xiao Dongjin, and saw Han Yunhua's family coming out of the car, so he came over with his son to take a look.

"Hehehe, what's the matter, go and pick up your daughter-in-law and go home?" Political Commissar Luo couldn't help but joke when he saw Han Yunhua holding a vegetable basket with a "girl" in his arms, looking like a houseman.

"Hahaha, Yuhan will go to the 385 Brigade in two days, I will accompany her more in the past few days, I just went to the market to buy some vegetables, and I am going to make a stewed noodle today. Lao Luo must not have eaten at this point, go and call Yueqin's sister-in-law over to eat together, let you taste the taste of braised noodles in the north today, hehehe"

Originally, Political Commissar Luo didn't want to disturb the affection of the young couple, and was about to refuse, but Han Yunhua couldn't see his thoughts, so he continued: "Old Luo, don't be polite, eating is secondary, and there are still some things that need to be communicated with you." ”

"Okay, I'll go over later, I haven't drunk for a while, I'll go to your house to drink once today, hehehe." Seeing Han Yunhua say this, Political Commissar Luo was not hypocritical.

"Okay, I'll wait for you at home, hehehe"

Luo Ronghuan is a southerner, to be honest, he is a little unaccustomed to eating pasta from the north, but fortunately, there are sorghum and millet here in Saibei, although the taste is not as good as rice, but it is not bad. Seeing a large pot full of shredded noodles, mixed with some potatoes, leeks and "chicken" pieces in the middle, the food "jade" of four adults and two children was hooked.

Each person was given a big bowl first, and even the two little ones were given a small bowl each.

"Yunhua, I didn't expect you kid to really have a hand at cooking, this stewed noodle is delicious, even I, a person who doesn't love pasta very much, is hungry like this, I think you must have never cooked when you were in Yan'an."

"That's not right, if you haven't cooked, how can you practice such a good cooking skill, I think Commander Yunhua must practice every day, otherwise he won't be able to do this level at all." Lin Yueqin didn't believe her husband's words.

Political Commissar Luo smiled: "Hehehe, this has nothing to do with those, although I don't know where Yunhua learned this cooking skill, but I dare to guarantee that our commander must not have cooked in Yan'an a few times, otherwise it would be impossible for him to stay here." ”

"Why is this, Commissar Luo, how do you know that Yunhua didn't cook when he was in Yan'an?" Yuhan was also interested, so he asked.

"Hehehe, I still understand the chairman's temper, if he had known that Yunhua had such a single-handed cooking ability, then he could still be sent to the front line, I'm afraid he would be transferred to the cooking class as soon as possible, but then we would have one less genius military strategist, and Yan'an would have more excellent chefs, hehehehe"

"Hehehehe"

"Hehehehe"

"Lao Luo, when will you learn to tease people, okay, let's go one first." Saying that, Han Yunhua raised his glass.

Lao Luo also laughed and said: "I can't drink this red wine to be honest, it seems that you kid can't drink it too, don't you say that you are not guilty, some Japanese sake and Soviet vodka don't drink, why don't you make such a bottle of old vinegar, see if you are detained." ”

"Lao Luo, you have to speak with your conscience, this is not ordinary red wine, this bottle is at least two hundred years old and good wine, it's not your fault that you can't taste it, but you can't take advantage of it and sell it, sister-in-law Yueqin, you have to help me."

"Sister-in-law can't help you, you men's affairs will be solved by yourself, come in and drink ... [This chapter is not finished, please click on the next page to continue reading!] ］
