Chapter 156: That's Human Nature!

Knowing that He Zhengdao was about to return to Yan'an, Chen Siya, who was already pregnant, was undoubtedly very happy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoFor her, having a lover by her side at this time is undoubtedly the most joyful and fortunate thing.

It's just that Chen Siya didn't know that He Zhengdao returned to Yan'an this time, and he didn't simply visit her and planned to accompany her for a while. But on Yan'an's side, there is also some work that I want to hand over to He Zhengdao to be responsible for and complete.

And He Zhengdao returned to Yan'an again, so naturally he would not come back empty-handed. The seized funds that have been counted during this period of time, He Zhengdao also escorted a batch of them to be handed over to the Central Committee first, so that the Central Committee can also raise more war materials.

In order to recover the entire territory of North China in the second half of the year, the first thing that needs to be solved is the winter clothing and ammunition reserves of the Eighth Route Army. Although the Eighth Route Army already has an arsenal at present, most of the materials that can be used to produce ammunition have to be purchased with money.

In addition, the distribution of new cotton clothes and trousers to the officers and men of the expanded unit will naturally cost a large amount of money. It can be said that with the continuous expansion of the scale of the Eighth Route Army, the military expenditure required by the headquarters is also increasing.

Even the current Eighth Route Army has also received a lot of aid funds transferred from overseas. Compared with the Nationalist Government, which has loans from foreign governments, the Eighth Route Army is really poor, and everything can only rely on itself to tap its potential.

Fortunately, the current situation in Shaanxi is much better than in the previous two years. At least the democratic governments will not cry to their superiors every day for money. Even some localities will submit some taxes to the central government.

But the person in charge of managing the finances is well aware that the taxes paid by the local governments will be more subsidized to the expenses of the democratic government in the newly liberated areas. At present, the real financial power of the central government comes more from mines and combat seizures.

Lin Lao, who is the Minister of Finance, looked at He Zhengdao, who escorted the funds back, and also sighed and said: "Xiao He, it would be nice if you could come to Yan'an a few more times a year." Every time you come, I look forward to it! ”

Facing Lin Lao's exclamation, He Zhengdao pretended to be aggrieved and said: "Lin Lao, I don't think you are looking forward to me returning to Yan'an, but expecting me to bring money to the Ministry of Finance managed by your old man every time I come to Yan'an, right?" ”

'All the same, all the same! You are also a dignified corps commander, and you also know that firewood and rice are expensive. Although our situation is much better than before, the more money there is, the less it is! ’

As the minister in charge of finance, Lin Lao is regarded by some local government officials and military commanders as extremely unscrupulous. It often takes a lot of effort to get money from the Ministry of Finance.

But only Taizu and others knew that if it weren't for Lin Lao's stubborn character, I am afraid that the finances of the Eighth Route Army would not last until now. Although the finances were not sufficient, at least they did not affect the affairs of the local government and the military.

'Old Lin, don't worry about you! Later, we drove away the little devils, and I think you'll think it's not a lot of money right now. I believe that such a poor life will not last long after the liberation of the whole country.

Our people are industrious and simple, and our workers are ingenious. As long as we manage our principles and policies well, I believe that the lives of the people and the economic situation of the whole country will get better day by day. ’

'I love what you boy says!' However, if you come every time you come and escort me back with a batch of funds, I will be even happier. Is this batch of funds the entire capture of this operation? ’

Thinking that He Zhengdao has recovered so many enemy-occupied areas this time, I believe that the amount of funds captured in the battle is also quite large. Even if Zhou Enlai personally received a huge amount of funds last time, in Lin Lao's opinion, the more money there is, the better.

Seeing that Lin Lao asked about the battle capture, He Zhengdao also said in a timely manner: "Lin Lao, this is the first batch of funds that have been counted. There should be more follow-ups, but it will take some time to count. These will be handed over to you at that time.

It's just that the places we have laid down in Dongye at present are not the places where the little devils focus on development. Therefore, the amount of funds and materials that can be seized is actually not much. In the future, the situation should be better when we enter the hinterland of the Northeast. ”

'Good! Just have it! I hope that you Dongye can win more battles, so that in the future, I, the Ministry of Finance, can also share the benefits every time. Although you are very young, you are indeed a good hand at making money! ’

Listening to Lin Lao's praise, He Zhengdao was also a little crying and laughing. But He Zhengdao knew that the old man in front of him had very high qualifications and prestige in the party, and he was also very trusted by Taizu and Zhou Enlai and others.

Having such an old revolutionary to take care of and appreciate is also a very happy thing for He Zhengdao. After the delivery of the funds, He Zhengdao was also given two days off by Taizu to concentrate on accompanying Chen Siya.

On the evening of returning to Yan'an, He Zhengdao also cooked in person and invited Chen Siya and his parents to have a light meal in their cave. As for why he didn't invite Taizu, He Zhengdao also had his own explanation.

looked at Chen Siya and said, "Xiaoya, the chairman is already very good to the two of us." But today is a family banquet, and inviting the chairman over without inviting other leaders will still make people have opinions after all. ”

The superiors invited the subordinates to dinner, and they also called other people, and it was difficult for others to say anything. It can only be said that the superior appreciates this subordinate, so he will often call the subordinate to his own house for dinner, deepening the relationship between the subordinate and the subordinate.

But the subordinates invite the superiors to eat, although it's nothing. But when it comes to politics and the military, it makes people feel that there is a problem. In order to avoid this kind of groundless accusation, He Zhengdao naturally would not easily invite Taizu over.

In addition, during this time, the rectification movement has already begun in various places. A number of political work cadres who did not act in the localities also began to be investigated by the Central Investigation Group. As for the military, the headquarters will directly dispatch special personnel to take charge.

As long as there is a transaction of money and power between the military and the localities, or there is an improper transaction, it will be severely punished by the investigation team. It can be said that Taizu wants to take this opportunity to put a brake on the unhealthy trends of the local and military forces.

Among the group of personnel currently being handled, in fact, the squire of Zhao'an has had the most accidents. But there are also some veteran cadres who have paid great attention to the Central Committee and the General Headquarters earlier, but they are also planted in money and other things.

For these people, every time they investigate clearly, Taizu will ask the party newspaper to publish it. This determination to crack down on corruption has also made many people with illusions dare not stretch out their hands at will.

As for the army, after jointly investigating and cleaning up with the Ministry of Intelligence, a group of rats hidden in the army were also found. The reason why many officers make mistakes is more because of the transaction of money, power and sex.

Even with this kind of rectification action, the Ministry of Intelligence investigated and dealt with a number of military officers and government personnel who had been bribed by the Nationalist Government and the Japanese Army's Special High School. It can be said that such actions are very timely and very effective.

It's just that many veteran Red Army members are somewhat worried in the face of this extremely vast and severe rectification operation. If it weren't for the fact that the investigation team had not been seen, they would have investigated first and then tried it, and it is estimated that people would have been panicked a long time ago.

What makes He Zhengdao seem more relieved is that, at least as far as the current situation is concerned, there is no corruption problem in the Yulin border district government under his jurisdiction, as well as in the arsenal.

As for the army, He Zhengdao believed in those officers even more, and did not dare to stretch out his hand in this kind of thing. The results of such an investigation also surprised the investigation team, and also lamented that He Zhengdao's management ability was superb.

At this time, He Zhengdao naturally didn't want to cause any more trouble. Even if many people know that his relationship with Taizu is not simple. But since it is a family banquet, inviting Taizu to come over as a guest will eventually cause people to gossip.

After listening to He Zhengdao's explanation, Chen Siya also looked a little sad and said: "I really don't understand, those people used to be our good comrades. But in such a short period of time, how did they become the target of the scourge of the people? ”

Actually, this kind of thing is normal! To put it mildly, the forest is big, and there are all kinds of birds. If there is a big political party and the military, how can everyone be united? The words of unity often exist in slogans and propaganda.

The human heart is the most complex and the most difficult to understand and ponder. Some people feel that they have suffered too much before, and they can finally enjoy it, so they naturally want to feel it. As a result, as soon as I felt it, I fell into it and couldn't help myself.

There are also some people who are not highly educated. In their opinion, since he is an official, he is superior. But they seem to ignore that once upon a time, they were also bullied like the people they bullied.

With the continuous development and growth of our party and our army, I am afraid that such things will still happen from time to time. At this time, the Central Committee and the headquarters made up their minds to punish once, which in my opinion is also very timely and necessary. ’

But I think that since the rectification campaign started, I have found that many people are very nervous. Every time I see those people in the investigation team, many people are either scared or hated, why? ’

Listening to the curious baby-like Chen Siya's inquiry, He Zhengdao thought for a while and said, "The body is not afraid of shadows!" As long as you have a clear conscience in your heart, how can you be afraid? As for those who hate the investigation team, that's also human nature.

After all, what the investigation team did was itself something that offended people. Most of the people who can accept their questions have certain problems. If it's okay, I'm sure the investigation team won't go to them, right? ”

As for the reason why many old Red Army soldiers were worried about this rectification movement, He Zhengdao did not tell Chen Siya. After all, the anti-rebellion movement during the Red Army period seemed to many old people in the party and the army to be painful and unwilling to mention.

And He Zhengdao also didn't want Chen Siya to feel that sometimes the enemy was often not terrible, but the most terrifying thing was the open guns and hidden arrows of the people around him. But these mistakes and lessons are what He Zhengdao hopes to avoid.

Fortunately, after his efforts to persuade, Yan'an launched the rectification movement. At least from what has been learned at this stage, there have been no retaliations. This also shows that the party and the army also know how to learn lessons!
