51 Wartime Route III

Yu Chen, the governor of Jiangsu, did not know how the People's Party calculated Jiangsu, and he has been very confident recently. After Zhang Jian's death in 1927, most of Zhang Jian's Jiangsu industry and commerce defected to Yu Chen's men. The land reform has encountered countless troubles, but it is only trouble. Jiangsu implemented land reform in accordance with the policy left by Wang Youhong, and Yu Chen mortgaged Jiangsu's raw silk exports to Britain and the United States in exchange for foreign exchange. Then he exchanged this foreign exchange for renminbi to the People's Party and paid the salaries of the engineering troops of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army.

This is really resisting the pressure, and there is no way to use that foreign exchange within Jiangsu, a bunch of zeros on bank accounts, or a bunch of paper money is useless to Jiangsu. Theoretically, those foreign exchange can be exchanged for gold, but Jiangsu simply cannot afford to exchange gold from foreign banks, let alone ship gold back to Jiangsu. Jiangsu industry and commerce knew about this, but as soon as ordinary Jiangsu legislators heard about "money", they automatically thought of the currency that could be used in Jiangsu.

Fortunately, Zhang Jian was still there at that time, and it was not easy to solve this knowledge problem through popular science. Then the Jiangsu legislators immediately questioned, what is the use of getting a bunch of currency that can't be spent? Knowing that Jiangsu was going to use the money to pay the People's Party, the Jiangsu parliamentarians were even more "filled with righteous indignation," and some people even openly shouted that Yu Chen was a "traitor."

By the time the People's Party's water conservancy project unit completed the project in more than a year, Jiangsu, from the gentry and parliamentarians, to the common people, was dumbfounded. They could never have imagined that human beings could transform nature to such an earth-shattering extent. The Jiangsu section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal has been widened to more than 50 meters, allowing four boats to travel in parallel, and the embankment is all built with cement and stone. The new irrigation system combines irrigation and flood discharge functions, and the reservoir ensures that there is a backup water source at all times.

Southern Jiangsu was originally a place of anointing, and after this rectification, it is even more refreshing. In particular, the bridges erected on many rivers have made Jiangsu's transportation much more convenient. Everyone in Jiangsu knows that the idea of the salary given to the engineering troops of the Workers' and Peasants' Revolutionary Army, and let Jiangsu build these projects by itself, one-third of what they can do is the limit.

In the end, the land reform was carried out in a way that imitated the People's Party, and it was also three acres of land for one person. The rest of the land is commons. The state is responsible for deployment, and local organizations are responsible for actual operations. Taking life-and-death trade as an example, the Jiangsu government compresses the transaction links, and the government forcibly sets the prices of each link, and is responsible for the production and purchase of raw silk. With a large consortium to operate the raw silk, the meaningless consumption in Jiangsu was greatly reduced, and those who participated in the labor were much more satisfied, except for those who had lost control of the original link. In particular, ordinary people are particularly satisfied.

Workers originally relied on hard work to earn money, and all kinds of unexpected problems always bothered everyone. Now the risk is borne by this new consortium, and there are no worries, and the people are working extremely hard.

Most of those who lost their privileges were lenders, and now the Bank of Jiangsu has taken over these businesses in full swing, providing low-interest loans to the people. The private sector still mainly relies on gold and silver loans, and the implementation of paper money in Jiangsu has squeezed gold and silver loans all of a sudden. These loan sharks have lost the channel of money, so they naturally want to oppose Yu Chen. For a time, Yu Chen's name of "Commander of Money Grabbing" resounded all over Jiangsu.

Wang Youhong's plan has long planned this, and Yu Chen's way to deal with it is very simple, "kill people and establish authority". He ordered all departments to carry out a strong crackdown on those bullying and dominating the market, and almost killed them when they were caught. These bullies and market bullies had a bad relationship with usury, and when they saw these people fall to the law one by one, the voices of the usurers against Yu Chen immediately disappeared.

Such efforts cannot completely solve Jiangsu's financial gap, and pledging the future income of the raw silk trade is equivalent to spending next year's money this year. Yu Chen also allowed foreign countries to invest and set up factories in Jiangsu, and used the foreign exchange to pay off debts.

Zhang Jian did another thing before he died, he opened several stock markets in Jiangsu, selling shares in some government-run enterprises in Jiangsu to raise funds. At the same time, private individuals are allowed to raise funds by issuing shares in the stock market. In the early days, loan sharks invested their money in these stock markets, and investors made a lot of profits. Using money to make money, without effort, it seems that there is also the background of the government of Jiangsu, and there is a whole set of policies that are beneficial to the propertied people.

Soon money from all over Jiangsu was attracted to the stock market, and the loan sharks were quite shrewd, and they turned into brokers, pulling money for the stock market. Since these people have made great gains from their investments, those uninformed people, as well as the landlords and gentry of Tubaozi, naturally trust them. Not only have funds from all over Jiangsu been sucked into the Jiangsu stock market, but the "former propertied owners" in the surrounding People's Party-controlled areas have either invested their funds in the Jiangsu stock market or raised funds from the Jiangsu stock market because they cannot compete with the People's Party in industry.

In the past few years, the stories and characters of getting rich overnight have spread all over the country. After being suppressed by the People's Party for 20 years, Jiangsu finally put aside the predicament of the past, and instantly became a holy place in the hearts of the propertied and a symbol of China in the new era.

No one has long scolded Yu Chen as a "traitor" and a "commander who robs money", and now everyone in Jiangsu thinks that Lord Yu Chen is simply the reincarnation of Marshal Zhao Gongming, with a little stone into gold.

Yu Chen was a few years younger than Chen Ke, and although he wanted to laugh at this tidal remark, he couldn't reach such an extent. When implementing Wang Youhong's last policy, Yu Chen was also uneasy. I didn't expect to be able to make such a situation in a few years. Yu Chen felt that this was like falling into a dream, and he sometimes couldn't help but think that if he could understand this situation twenty years earlier, where would Chen Ke's People's Party have the dominant position it has today. It is not yet known who killed the deer.

However, Yu Chen is also a character, and after giving birth to such an idea, he also knows that this is actually not realistic. Jiangsu's current policy, even though very different from the current People's Party, is no different from usury in eliminating landlords. If this kind of policy had been put in place 20 years ago, it would have been exactly the same "chaotic party" as the BJP. If you want to implement this kind of policy in Jiangsu, how many people will have to be killed in Jiangsu alone? Now these guys who firmly support Jiangsu's current policies and worship are only afraid to kill more than ninety percent twenty years ago.

So Yu Chen gave up his delusions and focused on the current matter. Don't look at Jiangsu now like cooking oil on fire, flowers are brocade, Yu Chen still feels an indescribable uneasiness. The biggest disturbance lies in the fact that since the death of Wang Youhong, Jiangsu has become more and more unable to understand the policies of the People's Party.

Like Wang Youhong, Yu Chen also ordered some of the main newspapers of the People's Party. When Wang Youhong was alive, Yu Chen would talk to Wang Youhong about the policies of the People's Party whenever he had the opportunity. Whether Wang Youhong agrees with it or is sarcastic, he can always roughly analyze a reasonable explanation. Jiangsu will also make some countermeasures accordingly. Since the death of Wang Youhong, Yu Chen found that no one could play such a role anymore. Not to mention that someone wants to solve Yu Chen's doubts, Yu Chen has to be responsible for solving others' doubts.

After March 1928, for example, the People's Party newspapers began to publish articles on a regular basis, ridiculing the short-sightedness of speculators and rentiers. The core idea of the article is simple, any economic operation is based on physical production and sales. Now China's lively investment and lending boom has put a lot of money into a very small market, which will soon reach a state of complete saturation, its own rate of return is getting lower and lower, the market risk is getting bigger and bigger, and using money to make money is just a trick, and there will definitely be a general collapse in the later stage.

Of course, Yu Chen can understand these terms, and he also knows that the People's Party is ridiculing Jiangsu for its complete finish. This kind of fortune teller-like prophecy made Yu Chen really feel bored. The BJP occupies such a large territory and has such a powerful force, but it cannot make the lives of the people in the BJ's territory better. As a result, many people from the People's Party came to Jiangsu to invest and buy stocks. If Yu Chen can take charge of China, he will definitely be able to do better than the People's Party.

Now there is no shortage of money in Jiangsu, foreigners are lining up to invest and build factories in Jiangsu, and foreigners also exchange a large number of pounds and dollars for RMB in Jiangsu banks through banks in Jiangsu. As far as Jiangsu's foreign exchange is concerned, there is no pressure to pay off external debts. Wang Youhong, the mentor, is gone, and Yu Chen feels uneasy in his heart, but the data clearly proves that there is no problem with Jiangsu's economy. In the end, Yu Chen, the governor of Jiangsu, decided to take the words of the People's Party as bullshit.

The People's Party doesn't care what Yu Chen thinks, the situation in Jiangsu seems to be hot, and compared with the overall plate of the People's Party, it can only be described as insignificant. Jiangsu also played a role that the People's Party did not expect, that is, it became a good channel for the People's Party to exchange the renminbi for foreign currency. Regardless of whether Jiangsu can understand it or not, the People's Party can see it very clearly, and the foreign devils are shrewd. They did not want to exchange the pounds and dollars in their hands for Jiangsu's local currency at all, but saw the opportunity to exchange the renminbi in the Jiangsu market. Most of the renminbi in Jiangsu's financial market was brought by propertied people outside Jiangsu, and many of these propertied people exchanged their renminbi into Jiangsu's local currency.

According to the statistics of the People's Party, the personal debt ratio of Jiangsu as a whole has skyrocketed, and in fact it has exceeded 80%, heading straight for 100%. Due to the large amount of funds gathered in Jiangsu, the profitability of Jiangsu's funds has also plummeted. In Asia, Japan can be compared with Jiangsu. Everything is ready and only the east wind is needed, and an economic crisis in the real sense, or a capitalist economic crisis caused by finance, is about to erupt in Jiangsu.

After making various preparations, Zhang Yu asked a question at the plenary session of the Politburo, "Is there really no way to overcome the capitalist economic crisis?" No matter how you look at it now, it doesn't look like something is going to happen. ”

Chen Ke is full of confidence, the People's Party has planned to buy gold and cash internationally in recent years, but he did not expect that Jiangsu could also contribute a lot of pounds and dollars this time, which made Chen Ke feel very happy. "This is something that is bound to happen in a common context, both domestic and foreign. We people in the People's Party are not fortune tellers, we can only know according to the law that this will happen, and we can also roughly judge the time of the occurrence. However, we have no way of knowing exactly when it happened. We need to look at how this large-scale economic crisis happened with a scholarly mentality. ”

Over the years, Chen Ke's image has faded a lot, after all, Chen Ke himself is just a traverser, he is not a god. The line of the BJP has always been maintained on the track of science and democracy, and science has come before democracy. After the intelligence data collected after the incident was summarized and discussed, the ins and outs of what had happened in the past were clarified. Comrades believe that Chen Ke has keen intuition and thorough insight into the future, but they do not think that Chen Ke can create many incredible results with one mouth.

One of the tasks of the party leader is to maintain the system, and the second is to lead the way. The comrades all acknowledged that Chen Ke had done the work that should have been done in the leadership position. No one wants to argue with Chen Ke about the future direction, what comrades need to know is what to do when the future direction is determined.

"Comrade You Wei has already made a report: We have tightened our belts for more than 20 years to engage in science and technology and education, and by last year, we had repeated all the correct laboratory experiments in foreign basic research, and most of the experiments had also figured out the principles. In the future, we still have to tighten our belts and continue to engage in technology. Many of our technical equipment was acquired from foreign countries during the economic crisis, and we are constantly narrowing the gap with the world's most cutting-edge technology. If this economic crisis starts, we will be able to make another large-scale acquisition. Then we must digest and absorb these technologies as soon as possible, not only to know what they are and why they are true, but also to use them according to the destiny of heaven. After this step, China will not only be a country with a large territory, a large population, a military power, but also a big country in science and technology! ”

This is just a clichΓ©, Chen Ke has always attached great importance to the development of science and technology for many years, and the scientific and technological level of the republic has indeed developed rapidly. No one wanted to argue with Chen Ke on this matter.

After Chen Ke finished the old routine of "speaking every day, every year", someone got up to speak, "Chairman Chen, the grassroots comrades in the party have recently had a doubt, are we practicing communism in this way?" ”

The comrades asked bluntly, and Chen Ke also replied frankly, "Now we are not engaged in communism, but more appropriately, we are now promoting industrialization while opposing the old feudal ideology and way of life." The main contradiction in our recent social development is the contradiction between industrialization and feudalism, and it is a problem in which every comrade cannot find his or her own position in the new era. This problem can only be solved in the development of industrialized societies. Individual initiative is of course important, but if you want to live in the era of industrialization, you can only transform yourself according to the life pattern of the industrialized society, learn knowledge, increase the level of understanding, and then transform your thinking. Of course, because of the development of productive forces, the vertical comparison is much better. But without competitiveness, side-by-side comparisons will only get worse and worse. ”

This is too true, if Chen Ke didn't say this kind of thing, I am afraid that he will be opposed and criticized from all sides. Even with Chen Ke's prestige, many comrades have changed their faces. Chen Ke was not moved at all, "Comrades, I have not seen many reports, and I don't know exactly what the grassroots comrades think. I just want to ask one question, is communism unearned or not? Or does anyone think that in the communist era, they can get something for nothing? ”

Such a slightly mocking tone calmed the mood of the comrades who were in turmoil for a while.

Chen Ke did not pause and continued, "The state is a tool of class control, and since there are classes, there must be contradictions. If we practice socialism and we claim to follow science, we must not have the attitude of covering our ears and stealing the bell. When we stand on Earth, we think that the sun revolves around the Earth, but what about it? This is the Earth revolving around the Sun! In China, because of the advanced culture, such a point of view will not kill people. In foreign countries, in the era when foreign devils used science to break the theocracy, admitting such a scientific fact is to kill people. And in our current socialist China, whoever can make a scientific breakthrough will not only not be killed, but will also be praised by the people in red and color. This is the progress of society. Politically, some comrades really don't understand, they don't feel comfortable, so they want to start a debate. There are also some people who pretend to be confused and want to do something to fish in troubled waters. As the vanguard of the working people, I think we should discuss this issue ourselves! ”
