Chairman Mao and Jiang Cheng came to Phoenix Mountain together, only to see the potholes after the explosion and the black smoke that had not yet dissipated, the rubble after the house was blown up flew everywhere, and the soldiers were clearing the rubble in order to rescue the comrades who were buried by the house.

"Chairman, please leave here, there is a big bomb in Comrade Chen Yun's house that will explode at any time." The soldiers who were cleaning up the ruins saw Chairman Mao coming over and hurriedly grabbed Chairman Mao and prevented Chairman Mao from continuing to move forward.

"How is Comrade Chen Yun?" Chairman Mao heard it and hurriedly said.

"Chairman, I'm fine, are you okay?" Chen Yun, who had a bandage on his head, walked over from behind and said, touched the bandage on his head and said with a smile: "I was just smashed." ”

"What's going on inside?" Jiang Cheng asked curiously.

Chen Yun saw that it was Jiang Cheng, smiled and pointed and said, "It's 203, I'm lucky, a dud fell from the sky, otherwise, I'll go to see Marx." ”

Jiang Cheng wanted to go in, but was grabbed by Chairman Mao and said, "Xiao Jiang, wait, wait for the experts to come and see." ”

Jiang Cheng nodded, waited for a while, only to see a middle-aged uncle covered in mud come out and say, "It's a real dumb, don't worry." Only then did he find Chairman Mao and others, and the uncle smiled and said, "The chairman is also here." This devil sent us raw materials, I looked, this bomb is 250 kilograms, and the explosives in it can be taken out and used. ”

Chairman Mao smiled and said, "Okay, just use him as a dye to make clothes, and give a little compensation to the damaged people." ”

Chairman Mao turned back to Chen Yun and said, "Go and count it immediately, how much our losses are." There is no industrial loss, there is no industrial area that has been discovered. ”

After Chen Yun saluted and left, Chairman Mao said to Xiao Wang: "Let Comrade Kenong come to see me immediately." ”

Xiao Wang immediately left quickly.

Jiang Cheng asked, "Chairman, what's wrong?" ”

Chairman Mao pointed to Phoenix Mountain and said, "Look at it, this Phoenix Mountain is the focus of the bombing." You can see that the devil is prepared. ”

Jiang Cheng immediately understood. Chairman Mao meant that the bombing was guided by a spy, and this spy knew a lot about Yan'an, so it was no wonder that Li Kenong was allowed to come.

Chairman Mao looked at the chaotic scene and said, "Xiao Jiang, you go and see where the warehouse is, I don't know if the devil knows there." I'll go home. I don't know how your eldest sister is doing. ”

Jiang Cheng nodded and went to the warehouse. Along the way, I saw many large holes that had been blown out one by one, as well as soldiers who were putting out the fires, civilians who had been killed, and women who were sitting next to collapsed houses and weeping bitterly.

Jiang Cheng's hand squeezed tighter and tighter, and soon arrived at the warehouse and saw what Huang Biao was arranging something.

Jiang Cheng asked, "Huang Biao, what are you doing?" ”

Huang Biao turned around and saw that it was Jiang Cheng, and hurriedly said, "Boss, are you okay, isn't this a disguise." ”

Jiang Cheng pointed to the warehouse and said, "This is a big cave. If you're hiding it, no one will blow up a dirt mountain, so you're okay here. ”

Huang Biao shook his head and said, "It's okay, it's okay." ”

Jiang Cheng was relieved.

Chairman Mao on the other side comforted the masses all the way and boosted morale, while walking briskly to the cave where he lived, and his steps became faster and faster, and finally, he only saw Chairman Mao running into his compound quickly. Shouting around, "Yuanyuan! Round! Yuanyuan, where are you? ”

No one in the entire cave responded to him, not even the guards. Chairman Mao was surprised to see a huge pit in the middle of the courtyard. But it was blown up by a bomb, Chairman Mao shook his whole body, and then gritted his teeth and stood up. At this time, Xiao Wang, who was left behind by him, ran over, and saw that Chairman Mao, who had never been flustered, had a trace of panic in his eyes, and hurriedly said, "Chairman, have you forgotten?" We have an emergency shelter near here. ”

Chairman Mao patted his head and said, "I forgot." Forgot. Let's hurry up. After speaking, he didn't wait for Xiao Wang, and ran over first.

Halfway through, Chairman Mao saw a group of people walking this way while talking, but the leader was Sister He.

Chairman Mao hugged Sister He tightly and muttered, "You scared me to death." Scared the hell out of me. ”

Sister He looked at the people around her embarrassedly, patted her and said, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Chairman Mao said embarrassedly, "Isn't it worried when I see you gone, I thought, hehe, it's okay." ”

Chairman Mao let go of her, turned around and said, "Yan'an City is in chaos now, you can go to work if you have nothing to do, and go to appease the emotions of the masses and female comrades." After speaking, he and the panting Xiao Wang walked down the mountain again.

Sister He looked at Chairman Mao who left in a complicated way, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Of course, Sister He understands why Chairman Mao is like this, during the Long March, because she did not hide and organize the wounded, resulting in being injured by enemy aircraft bombing, he was wounded in 17 places at that time, and almost died.

When night came, a kerosene lamp was lit in the cave, Jiang Cheng sat in the corner, and Chairman Mao asked, "How is it, is the count good?" ”

Lin Boqu got up and said, "The statistics are good, our industrial areas are well hidden, not found by the devils, and there is no damage, but Yan'an County was bombed very badly, and Phoenix Mountain also suffered a lot of losses, but fortunately, all the main leaders were not injured, and now the statistics are out, 214 people died and 184 people were injured, including 28 cadres of our party and 39 soldiers." 396 public houses, 4 street buildings, 3 stone archways, 2 stone caves, 352 private houses, 37 dead livestock, and 64,000 catties of grain were destroyed.

Chairman Mao Zou Mei said: "Why is the loss so big? Is the evacuation not done well? ”

Lin Boqu shook his head and said, "This time there are more than 100 enemy planes and more than 1,000 bombs, because we have no air defense force, so the losses are relatively large, but it should be seen that our biggest losses are still houses, and the casualties can be said to be relatively small." ”

Chairman Mao shook his head and said, "It's not small, I feel distressed by the death or injury of a single person, especially our cadres, most of whom have been tested for a long time and can't afford to lose." ”

Chen Yun got up and said, "This time it's a loss, except for the personnel. The property is probably more than 100,000 yuan, especially a granary was hit and caught fire, and the food loss was very large. ”

Chairman Mao nodded and said, "We must try our best to give the people a certain subsidy, our food is very precious, we must consider transferring food and materials to more hidden places, the Japanese planes will not bomb it for the last." The comrades of the government should continue to mobilize our people to prepare for air raids, and try to make it safer for the new comrades to live in caves. ”

Soon, the meeting ended, and Chairman Mao said to Jiang Cheng, "Little Jiang, do you have any thoughts about the Air Force?" ”

Jiang Cheng thought for a while and said, "I have also considered the issue of the Air Force, our pilots can go to Germany and the United States for training first, there are many aviation clubs, and the aircraft in this era are actually not very demanding." As long as you are willing to spend money, you can pull out an air force that can fight in a year or two, as for the plane, I have to say, the devil's plane is still very good in this period, I am ready to go to modern times to see, is there a way. ”

Chairman Mao nodded and said, "It's good that you have an idea, but what about the ground staff?" ”

Jiang Cheng scratched his head and said, "The ground crew is more troublesome." As long as the pilot flies, there are many kinds of ground crew. It's good to train like sanitation and security, but ordnance, aviation materials, oil, and munitions all require extremely professional knowledge, and the chairman, the plane is actually very expensive, and it needs to be overhauled every time it flies, and we don't seem to have many people who can repair the plane. ”

Although a lot of talent has been collected from all over the country. But there are very few people in the field of aviation. And there are even fewer workers who can repair airplanes.

Chairman Mao thought for a while and said, "In this way, can you get some planes or design drawings from the next generation, even if you can't fly, it's okay, you have to believe in the power of our workers." If I want them to study it for themselves, I don't believe it, because foreigners can even build it, so can't we repair it? ”

Jiang Cheng thought that this was also a way, so he nodded in agreement.

Chairman Mao continued: "Speaking of this, I remembered a telegram from the International Committee for Aid to China, saying that there would be an international medical team coming to our Yan'an, and the news from the International Red Party that there were Bethune and other excellent doctors, I remember you told him that you could meet him at that time." In addition, although the penicillin and other drugs you provide are very good, there are still many medical equipment that are lacking, and I asked people to make a list, and the base area is very short of these things. ”

When Jiang Cheng heard the base area, he immediately asked curiously, "Chairman, how is the base area being opened up now?" ”

Chairman Mao took a puff of cigarette and said, "You can go and see this, it must be more wonderful than the things you see in the later life, but it is also more boring than you think." ”

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but be fascinated by the base area that was now under construction.

If Lin Sanhu knew Jiang Cheng's thoughts at this time, he would definitely let Jiang Cheng come over and see for himself, Lin Sanhu only felt an abnormal pain in his head, and in the face of such a scene, it was better to let him command the troops and work hard with the devils.

Lin Sanhu looked at the dozens of men dressed as peasants in front of him, most of these people were older, and a few young ones were also delicate-skinned, and they knew that their families were not rich at a glance.

"Commander Lin, if you want to fight devils, we support, we have nothing to say if you want us to pay taxes, although there are Japanese people in the city now, we all think that we are Chinese, and it is natural and righteous to support the Chinese in fighting their own troops." An old man with white hair and beard said slowly, "However, the tenants rent our land, how much we want to collect is our own business, there is no reason to force us for thousands of years, if they think we collect too much, they can not rent our land, since they are willing to rent, it is a matter of being willing to fight and suffer, is there anything wrong with such a thing?" ”

Another young junior also said, "What's more, as far as I know, neither Chairman Yan nor Chairman Jiang has such an order, nor does they have instructions for your army to collect taxes on their behalf." ”

Lin Sanhu looked at the people in front of him, these were all landlords and squires from various villages, and Lin Sanhu summoned them this time to discuss the issue of taxation.

Later generations only knew that guerrilla warfare fought devils in the anti-Japanese base areas, but the money for fighting was the same at all times, and although the Red Party army mainly engaged in guerrilla warfare, and its weapons and equipment were all captured, it was necessary to pay for clothes and meals, and it was far from enough to rely on the capture of devils, and it was mainly necessary to rely on taxes.

There is a saying that "the white party has a lot of taxes." There will be many red parties. Although I know, but most people do not have a real feeling of this sentence, in later generations of Chinese taxes are actually a lot, personal income tax has personal income tax, enterprises have enterprise income tax, specific business tax and value-added tax. Some countries believe that there will be excise taxes on the industries to be controlled. In the early years of the Republic of China, along the Qing Dynasty system, there were furnace and metallurgy, tooth shops, pawnshops, deed paper, wine tax, cattle tax, business donations, paper donations, plaster donations, clear paste license donations, liquor license donations, cigarette donations, tobacco and alcohol donations, slaughter taxes, vegetable cattle donations and other taxes and surcharges. Later, Song Ziwen and Kong Xiangxi carried out tax reforms, setting all tax items as business tax and corporate income tax, with a maximum of 60% and a minimum of 5%. The business tax on grain flour is 25%.

In addition, Tian Fu also began to study the Qing Dynasty, with the land and Ding taxes as the regular tax. After that, during the period of warlord secession, the tax revenue was immanent, arbitrarily increased, arbitrarily withheld, and even additional taxes exceeded two or three times the regular tax, and the central and provincial governments did not do anything about it. 17th year of the Republic of China (1928). The Nanjing government announced that the land would be returned to the local (provincial) revenue. The proposed tax rate for the state should be around 14 percent, but at that time the provinces were in the hands of their own warlords. Their respective tax rates are also varied, and most of them are greatly exceeded.

In later generations, many people said that the tax revenue of the Republic of China was received 70 years later, but there is actually a misunderstanding in this, because the tax rate of many provinces can often reach about 30% because of the additional of the province, and it is impossible to collect 70 years according to this tax rate, in fact, 70 years is calculated according to the national tax. By the way, it is worth mentioning that the prescribed tax rate of the Qing Dynasty was 3%, of course, the regulations are regulations, and the actual collection is another matter.

At this time, Lin Sanhu followed the instructions of the central government. The agricultural tax given refers to the border area, "those who receive less than 350 catties of grain per person a year are exempted, and those who receive more than 350 catties are exempted from taxation, and those who are more than 350 catties are taxed at a minimum tax rate of 1% and the highest tax rate is 7%", "all landlords who rent land and rely on rent collection for their livelihood are levied 1% if their rented grain per person is less than 300 catties, and more than 300 catties are levied according to the tax rate table; Tenants are levied at half of the tax schedule".

Such a tax rate was very welcome to both the landlords and the peasants, but when it came to asking the landlords to reduce rents and interest rates, no one was willing to do so.

In fact, the rent and interest reduction are not much, and according to the regulations, in principle, the original rent amount before the war must be reduced by 25 percent; If the debtor's interest payment has exceeded one time of the original, the principal and principal repayment shall be suspended, and if the interest payment has exceeded two times the original amount, the principal and interest payment shall be suspended, and the original loan relationship shall be deemed to be extinguished.

But such conditions were not acceptable to the landlords and squires at this time.

Lin Sanhu stood up helplessly, he was extremely nostalgic for the Jinggangshan period, these local tyrants and inferior gentry just knocked down directly, where do you need to work like this.

Luo Ronghuan saw that Lin Sanhu was a little impatient, so he said, "Folks, I know that it is a little difficult to suddenly let everyone accept it, but think about it, who is supporting whom, is it the common people tenants who feed you, or you who feed the common tenants, I know, some people may say, if I didn't give you the land to plant mud legs, they would have starved to death, but think about it again, if there are no mud legs like us, what can you do with your family's fields?" Do you have long grass left? What's more, our tax rate is very low, even if the rent and interest are reduced, it won't make everyone unbearable, right? ”

A middle-aged chubby landlord said, "To put it simply, the Japanese came to collect taxes, Chairman Yan sent people to collect taxes, and you also came to collect taxes, can our taxes be low, you all have guns, none of us can afford to offend, and if we reduce rent and interest, we really don't have to live." ”

Suddenly, everyone shouted along, as if they had been greatly wronged.

Lin Sanhu slapped the table and said, "If the Japanese dare to come, I won't let him go back!" This is the land of the Chinese, and whoever dares to pay taxes and tribute to the devils is a traitor lackey! ”

One sentence shocked everyone, and the uncle stood up and said to the chubby landlord, "Wang Fatty, you have to remember what country your father is talking about, the devil's tax, I won't pay, Master Lin, we will go back to consider this rent reduction and interest reduction, but we really reduced it, and paid taxes to you, you have to fight the devil, otherwise, I am feeding the dogs, at least you can take care of the home." ”

Lin Sanhu thought for a while and said, "That's it, it's also winter now, let's wait until next autumn to see if our Red Party will resist the Japanese or not, and whether we will fight devils." Are your taxes worth it? (To be continued......)
