Chapter 94 It's snowing

【94】It's snowing

Because of the fact that so many workers were given the same high welfare benefits as the employees of state-owned enterprises, East Germany was brought down at once, but these enterprises were still not competitive, and they were getting worse and worse day by day. It has also caused the overall welfare level of other competitive state-owned enterprises to plummet, and workers have begun to queue up for free vacations every year, and so on.

Originally, the housing policy of East Germany was coveted by the people of West Germany, and the people of West Germany were worried about high rents all day long, and the big capitalists owned countless real estate almost every block of real estate, and the high rent prices could take away half of the income of a family in West Germany.

In East Germany, because of the superiority of socialism, the state had the money to be able to provide housing for every citizen, regardless of whether you were a state-owned enterprise or a private enterprise. In addition to the government subdivision, the government rent of the large apartments rented in East Berlin is only a dozen marks per month, which is the price of cabbage compared to the average salary of more than 1,300 marks for the East German people. But even Chinese cabbage is not in supply, and once the country starts to finish, then don't mention anything. After being dragged down by total nationalization, the East German government finally ran out of money to renovate the house according to German customs, that is, it could not attach wooden planks to the floor and wall to ceiling of the bedroom......

In this way, a Jihua economy, which has everything from airplanes and ship engines and management to coat hangers, toilet brushes, and toilet paper, is finally on the verge of collapse. A super-socialist industrial powerhouse with a population of more than 10 million and a land area about the same size as Puhai City and a little larger than Zhejiangjiang Province is dying.

As a result, people began to want to flee to West Germany, and once a trend began, it was difficult to stop the car, and it became fashionable for senior engineers to flee to West Germany. At the beginning, the high welfare policy of East Germany compared West Germany, and for 20 years, almost no one wanted to go to West Germany, and now this trend has revived.

The high-pressure policy of cultural control in East German society has not been adjusted after the founding of the People's Republic of China, coupled with the ineffective economic transformation in the later period, the absurd total nationalization, the weak propaganda mouth, the poverty of cultural life, and the high debt of the state brought about by high welfare, so that there is no capital to invest in the industrial revolution brought about by industrial transformation and research and development of electronic information. Looking at the GDR's 500 billion marks of debt and the growing deficit every year, it is not so much that West Germany merged East Germany as that West Germany bought East Germany.

However, the Berlin Wall was not repaired until 1961, and the slowly advancing collective cooperative farms in East Germany were not fully completed until April 1960, when East Germany was still rich and comfortable in the countryside and tightly rationed in the cities. At this time, it is still very affordable to exchange agricultural and sideline products for a large number of international students.

After a little thought, he wrote a draft of all the miscellaneous information he knew, which he was going to send to the chairman and the prime minister for reference, and the draft once again made it clear that improving the tax system was the best way to distribute wealth, and that other seemingly assumed solutions could not be trusted without 10 to 20 years of verification. If you want to establish large-scale mechanized farming collective farms, it can only be implemented in sparsely populated places like Xingjiang and the Great Northern Wilderness, and East Germany is a lesson from the agricultural collectivization under agricultural cooperativeization, and soon after that, the food problem of the socialist camp led to the Hungarian incident in 1956, and the Polish peasant uprising that broke out later, and the Soviet Union Zuihou also fell on the food problem. It can be seen that not only in China, but also in any country, if the grain problem is not solved, Zuihou is a dead end, and to solve the grain problem, we must rely on the peasants' enthusiasm for production and the development of agricultural production science and technology.

Zuihou Xiaoqiang wrote: "It is necessary to uphold the rural contract responsibility system for joint production throughout the country, and completely liberate the enthusiasm of rural production, but we must keep the land in check, absolutely do not allow the sale and purchase of cultivated land, and strictly control the circulation of land under special circumstances (such as the death of the owner, the migration to the city, the loss of the ability to work, and so on). Agricultural cooperatives formed spontaneously in response to the needs of some people can be actively supported, but they should not be forcibly promoted by administrative means. ”

Xiaoqiang hastily finished writing the draft, leaned back in his chair, and breathed a sigh of relief, New China no longer needs to exchange a large number of agricultural products for industrial equipment and weapons and equipment as in history, and there is no need to use agricultural cooperatives to collect a large number of agricultural products, and his own suggestions should be adopted, right?

Xiaoqiang felt that he was already a little tired from writing for a long time, and his wrists were sore, which was not what the girl thought...... He took out the paper bag containing the tea leaves, pinched a little and put it in the tea jar, and picked up the hot water bottle with rattan woven shell to make himself a cup of tea.

Holding a steaming tea jar, Xiaoqiang stood by the window behind his desk, looking at the snowflakes that began to fall outside the office building at some point, and felt a sense of peace and comfort in his heart. Outside the window of the office building of the Zhongnanhai Secretariat, the quiet space is filled with snow, snowflakes hitting snowflakes, snowflakes hitting pine branches, snowflakes hitting the ground, snow swirling in the wind, disturbing, looking for all places to stay.

He held the enamel teapot and looked at the snow scene with his somewhat cold hands, and while lowering his head and blowing, he carefully sipped the hot tea little by little. Raising his head, Xiaoqiang remembered Meng Sisi, it was the second day after he came back, and it was time to go to see her, but he said that he would be responsible for her. Xiao Qiang faintly felt that it was a good choice to be with Meng Sisi, as for Yu Feng, Xiao Qiang did have a heart of admiration, but he was not as eager as Meng Sisi to remember and love all the time. Perhaps, Yu Feng is just a beautiful woman in her life, a good friend, and can be a confidant.

Xiao Qiang took his eyes off the snow outside the window, turned around and put the tea jar in his hand on the wooden desk, and picked up the phone:

"Pick me up from the traffic section. ………… Hey, traffic department, I'm Cao Xiaoqiang, ask Liu Zhen to drive my car out, I want to go out. ”

Putting down the phone, Xiaoqiang carefully put the letter with the draft written on it into the khaki kraft paper document bag, and walked to the confidential section with the kraft paper bag. The comrades of the Confidential Section took over and meticulously inspected the bag in accordance with the procedures, pasted the mouth of the bag, marked the fire seal and code, and issued a receipt of receipt to Xiaoqiang.

The girls in the confidential department were chattering around the freshly baked charcoal stove in the middle of the office, and Xiaoqiang felt envious when he looked at their simple happiness.

The heavy snow in the northern capital is falling one after another, and the snowflakes are getting bigger and bigger, from the little nails at the beginning to now they have become like goose feathers, and the cold wind is wrapped in this thick edelweiss, whistling and blowing. The snow became denser and denser as it fell, and the rustle of snow flakes could be heard almost all over the ground. Xiaoqiang tightened his tunic in the snowy wind, and quickly got into Liu Zhen's car parked under the office building. When I closed the car door, the rustle of snow flakes seemed to be much quieter.

"Go to the dormitory of the Beijing Film Studio."

The car started, and the tires left two black rut marks on the white snow blanket that had just covered the ground.
