Chapter 42: A Trip to Yan'an (2)
The first chapter of the ninety-third anniversary
On the other side, Jiang Cheng and Yu Qiaqing came to the Yan'an City Gate, and what they saw was an orderly flow of people, although they were inspected when they encountered a cart or something, but they were polite to both the literati in the long shirt and the civilians in broken jackets, and there was neither the evil act of searching and molesting women, nor the petty theft of cunning and robbery.
Jiang Cheng looked at Yu Qiaqing, Yu Qiaqing sighed and nodded. Jiang Cheng said to Wei Zuzhen, "Let's go see the school again"
After a day of wandering, after visiting the schools, hospitals, and markets in Yan'an.
In the evening, Jiang Cheng and his party came to the door of a small restaurant, which was an ordinary food stall.
The boss is an uncle, and when he saw Jiang Cheng and the others, he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Comrade, what are you eating?" ”
Although Jiang Cheng often heard this term in Nanjing and Shanghai, this was the first time that an ordinary person said this word with a smile. In Nanjing and Shanghai, the word seemed to belong only to those dignitaries, and the common people said that this word seemed to tarnish it.
Yu Qiaqing couldn't help asking, "Fellow, you said comrade, so what do you say we have the same ambition?" ”
The old man put the towel on his shoulder and said with a smile: "Of course we have the same aspirations, resist Japan and save the country, then the Red Army said well, the Japanese want to bully us Chinese, rob us of our money, our land, if we do not defeat them, our country will not be rich and strong in our lifetime." ”
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "Fellow, that's good, we are outsiders, what special snacks do you have here?" ”
The uncle smiled and said, "Then I have to say that our mutton soup here, that taste, it's called a fresh." ”
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Okay, then let's have a few big buns, and then a big bowl of mutton soup for one person." ”
The uncle responded, "Okay, ten big buns, five big bowls of mutton soup." ”
Probably the food in the army is really not good, Wei Zuzhen couldn't help but be a little excited when he saw the mutton soup, but when he thought of something, he said immediately, "Report, I didn't bring so much money, I just eat buns." "I'm a little embarrassed to say that.
Jiang Cheng and Yu Qiaqing glanced at each other, laughed, and Yu Qiaqing said, "Our host is not short of this money, we have invited you to this meal." ”
Wei Zuzhen hurriedly said sternly, "No, our army is disciplined, and we don't take a stitch from the masses, let alone rice." ”
Yu Qiaqing couldn't help but say with some disdain, "Where is there such an exaggeration, it's just a meal, don't think about it, just eat it." ”
Wei Zuzhen scratched his head and said, "This is really not good." ”
Jiang Cheng clapped his hands and said, "Eat, eat boldly, it's really not good, you took us around for a day, this is the meal money we gave you, if you have labor, you will pay, it's normal." ”
Wei Zuzhen smiled and ate it.
After eating, Wei Zuzhen asked, "I don't know where to go next?" ”
Jiang Cheng asked Yu Qiaqing in Shanghainese, "Old Yu, how is it, do you still have any opinions on the Red Party?" ”
Yu Qiaqing sighed, looked at the sky, shook his head, and said: "What else can I say, just seeing that there are smoking cessation halls in every village, and the attitude of the common people towards the Red Army, I have to admit that the Red Party is indeed stronger than the White Party in some aspects, but our identities are different, I don't know that the Red Party will think this way of businessmen like us." ”
Wei Zuzhen didn't understand what Jiang Cheng and Yu Qiaqing were talking about, and couldn't help but look at Jiang Cheng and the others with some suspicion.
Jiang Cheng looked at Wei Zuzhen, who was a little nervous, and said with a smile: "I want to meet your chief, don't you know how convenient it is?" ”
Wei Zuzhen thought that Jiang Cheng and the others were preparing to make a deal with the Red Army, and immediately said excitedly, "Okay, no problem, let's go back to the military headquarters." ”
--Nie Rongzhen of the First Army Headquarters heard that Jiang Cheng and the others were back, and hurriedly came out to greet him, "Boss Gu turned around, how do you feel?" ”
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "Don't talk about the road, don't leave it behind, it's indeed well organized, I think we can talk about it." ”
Nie Rongzhen sat down and said, "It's better for Boss Gu to make a price first, our Red Army will try our best to meet Boss Gu's requirements." ”
Jiang Cheng turned around and asked, "Ba Shun, how much medicine did we bring?" ”
Ba Shun took out a small notebook from his arms and said slowly, "Owner, there are a total of 120 penicillin 800,000 units, 600 penicillin 80,000 units, 1,200 penicillin pills for 8,000 units, and 6,000 sulfonamide pills. ”
Nie Rongzhen couldn't help but be a little excited when he heard this, now that the Red Army has only 30,000 people, so many medicines are enough for the whole army to use for a period of time. couldn't help but say a little excitedly, "This is great, I don't know what price Boss Gu offers?" ”
Jiang Cheng smiled and said, "We have this medicine, and we can supply it for a long time, but we want to ask, I heard that the Red Party has always opposed us businessmen, saying that we are all bloodsucking evil capitalists, so we are very worried about your party's attitude towards us." ”
Nie Rongzhen said sternly: "Our party is against those capitalists who exploit the toiling masses, not against all businessmen, and those you said are all old calendars, we did have a lot of restrictions on capitalists and businessmen in the past, and now we have used Marx's thought to divide capitalists into two dialectical view, our current policy protects enlightened landlords and businessmen, especially patriotic businessmen like Boss Gu, and is the object of our protection." ”
Jiang Cheng nodded and looked at Yu Qiaqing, who finally closed his eyes and nodded in acquiescence.
Jiang Cheng said, "Then we are also straight to the point, we are the representatives of Weihua, we want to cooperate with your party to save the country, and I want to ask Political Commissar Nie to help introduce the leadership of your party." ”
When Nie Rongzhen heard the word Wei Hua, he finally knew why this Boss Gu had so many precious drugs such as penicillin, and Li Kenong would be so happy, this Wei Hua was indeed the god of wealth. Hurriedly said: "You are Weihua Company?" Could it be which penicillin Weihua company? ”
Jiang Cheng nodded and said, "I don't know if your party leader is willing to meet with us." ”
At this time, a burst of laughter with a Hunan accent came: "No need to ask to see, let's worship the God of Wealth." ”
Jiang Cheng guessed who it was when he heard this accent, and he slowly turned around with excitement, only to see a few people walking in with a smile.
The leader was tall, wearing some old military uniforms, male and female, with a clean face, and a conspicuous mole growing in a place known to all Chinese in later generations, not as strong as in later photos, but thin like a teacher - he did become a teacher.
One of the two people in the back has eyes, a little fat, and the other has a wide mouth and a big face, and his eyes are almost invisible when he laughs. But there is a sense of not being angry and arrogant.
The leader smiled and said to Jiang Cheng, "Contemptible Mao Yongzhi, isn't Boss Jiang still willing to show his real name?" Jiang Cheng said a little nervously, "Under Jiang Cheng, I didn't expect that we would have been discovered by your party a long time ago." ”
Mao Yongzhi introduced the latter two to Jiang Cheng, it turned out that the slightly chubby person was Li Kenong, and the other person was Zhu Daizhen, the father of the Red Army.
Jiang Cheng knew that Yu Qiaqing had always had doubts about the Red Party, and he didn't say his name. but sat down with the multitude.
Mao Yongzhi asked: "What advice does Boss Jiang have for coming to Yan'an this time?" ”
Jiang Cheng heard Mao Yongzhi say that he was Boss Jiang, not Lieutenant Colonel Jiang who was given by Jiang Mediation, so he knew that Mao Yongzhi had guessed three points in his heart, so he nodded and said, "Chairman Mao, I came here this time for two purposes, one is to learn about some of the policies of our Red Party, and the other is that we Weihua want to cooperate with your party." ”
Mao Yongzhi looked at Li Kenong, who smiled and blinked.
Mao Yongzhi said: "I don't know what Boss Jiang wants to know?" ”
Jiang Cheng was indeed not very clear about the policies of the Red Party during this period, so he asked, "I wonder what our Red Party thinks of us so-called capitalists now?" ”
Mao Yongzhi actually guessed in his heart that Jiang Cheng would ask this, Mao Yongzhi took a puff of cigarette, Jiang Cheng asked about the smell of smoke but frowned, Jiang Cheng himself occasionally smoked a cigarette, but this smoke smell was not a cigarette smell at all, but it smelled of a mixture of horse manure and sauerkraut, which was extremely unpleasant. This is probably the worst cigarette out there.
Mao Yongzhi said, "Everything must be dialectically unified, there are indeed many capitalists who are exploiting our people, and there are even many who sell the interests of the country and the nation to make money, for such capitalists, we are resolutely cracked down, but there are still some capitalists who are patriotic, enlightened, and democratic, and even some capitalists are also concerned about the toiling masses, for such capitalists, I think they are red capitalists, and they are a type of people worthy of our protection." ”
Yu Qiaqing said at this time: "But I heard that in the place of your Red Party, the trader who does business does not have any rights. ”
Mao Yongzhi looked at Yu Qiaqing and nodded and said, "This is a long time ago, our party did make some leftist mistakes during the Jinggangshan period, and it was too simple to completely defeat the industrial and commercial people, but we soon discovered this mistake, at the beginning of 1936, we changed the "Election Law" in which all capitalists were deprived of the right to vote to only restrict industrial and commercial capitalists with a capital of more than 5,000 yuan, and in the latest "Shaanxi-Gansu-Ningbo Border Region Election Regulations" issued this month, we only restricted traitors, traitors, With the exception of those who have been deprived of their civil rights and the mentally ill, all persons over the age of 16 have the right to be elected and to vote, regardless of their differences in religion, ethnicity, property, or culture. Therefore, instead of persecuting and expropriating the capitalists, our party now supports and protects these patriotic and enlightened capitalists. ”
When Yu Qiaqing heard Mao Yongzhi say this, she couldn't help but be a little curious and said, "So, your party is changing some of its practices?" ”
Mao Yongzhi said with a smile: "If a person is not a sage, who can be without fault? Moreover, the world is changing, the priorities of contradictions are also constantly changing, and of course some of our party's policies are also constantly changing. ”
Jiang Cheng looked at what Yu Qiaqing wanted to say, held Yu Qiaqing's hand and said, "Old Yu, it's almost, Chairman Mao, I have another question I want to ask you, I don't know what the goal of our Red Party is?" ”
Mao Yongzhi looked at the comrades around him and said, "I said it's not appropriate, why don't you let everyone say, Mr. Zhu, what are your goals?" ”
Zhu Daizhen said sternly: "The goal of our party is to create a new communist world for the poor people who no longer have to be bullied and exploited. ”
Mao Yongzhi looked at Wei Zuzhen who was standing on the side again.
Wei Zuzhen said with some nervousness: "The goal of our Red Army is to drive out all foreign invaders and make our country really stand up. Let our people no longer suffer from the disaster of war, and live and work happily in peace and contentment. Communism at last! ”
Mao Yongzhi also said firmly: "That's right, the goal of our Chinese Red Party is to achieve communism. ”
Yu Qiaqing asked again, "I don't know what communism is in the eyes of Chairman Mao?" ”
Mao Yongzhi asked in surprise: "Could it be that Boss Jiang is also interested in Marx's thought?" To put it simply, communism is a society in which everyone does what he can and takes what he needs, and it is a form of public ownership in which people jointly occupy social resources, work together, and share the fruits of labor, so as to achieve a new society in which the people are the masters of their own affairs. ”
Yu Qiaqing asked, "To each take what he needs?" Where is the end of human needs? When I have eaten enough, I want to have a wife, I want a big house when I have a wife, I want a car when I have a big house, and I want to be an official when I have a car, where will there be an end to such desires? And we have so many people in China, how can we make it possible for everyone to live a good life? ”
Mao Yongzhi said with a smile: "Many people, at the beginning, they only see this and take what they need, and then they feel that communism cannot be realized. But I didn't see everyone doing their best. The most important thing in our communist society is to do what everyone can and then take what he needs, and only when everyone works to the best of their ability can there be enough material basis to take what they need. ”
Jiang Cheng interjected, "Chairman Mao, let me talk about my understanding, there are two major prerequisites for the realization of communism, the first is the great improvement of productivity, for example, in the past, eighty percent of people were needed to farm to feed everyone, but with the improvement of productivity, only a little bit of land can be used to feed everyone, so we can find ways to do our best, for example, if you don't like farming and like to work, let him work, if you don't like to work and talk, let him be a lawyer, if you love to fight and shoot, let him be a soldier to defend the country, and if you love music, let him singIf you don't want to do anything, then we have to provide them with the lowest social security, and at the same time guide him to work, even if he only loves to sleep, then you can also let him go to the mattress factory to try the quality and comfort of the mattress. ”
Jiang Cheng's words made everyone laugh, Zhu Daizhen said with a smile, "It makes sense that Boss Jiang can make the business bigger, even people who only love to sleep can help him find things to do, Lao Mao, if our communism is really realized, I think I can ask Boss Jiang to help arrange everyone's work, it must be properly arranged." ”
Jiang Cheng also smiled and said, "A little shallow opinion, let everyone laugh." ”
Mao Yongzhi said, "What you said is very good, it seems that you do have some opinions about our communism, go on, let's see your high opinions."
Jiang Cheng continued: "Another point is that I think that communism will take a long time to achieve, and it will never be achieved overnight, and it will even take the efforts of several generations to realize the communism in our hearts, from the Paris Commune to the Soviet Union, haven't we experienced defeat after failure? Jiang Cheng didn't elaborate on this issue, he knew it was too early to say this.
Mao Yongzhi nodded and said, "You have a deep thought about some of our party's thoughts, can I ask you to take care of it?" ”
Jiang Cheng hurriedly said, "Of course you can, even if the chairman calls me, you can just call me Xiao Jiang and Xiao Cheng." ”
Mao Yongzhi said, "Gu Quan, are you interested in joining the party?" ”
When Jiang Cheng heard this, he suddenly thought of his days in the unit in modern times, and the director said the same thing to himself at that time, but it's a pity-
Jiang Cheng said, "This-let's talk about it later, I have another question, chairman, please find a quiet place." ”
Mao Yongzhi thought for a while and said, "Okay, Fu Piao, do you have such a place here?" ”
Nie Rongzhen nodded and said, "Just go to the small room at the back." ”
When she came to the room, Mao Yongzhi asked, "Okay, Gu Quan, just ask if you have any questions." ”
Although Jiang Cheng knew the answer, he still asked, "If the Soviet Union invades us one day, I wonder what your party will do?" ”
Mao Yongzhi took a puff of cigarette, closed her eyes, thought about it, and said firmly: "Anyone who wants to invade us, our Red Party is willing to be the first to go to the battlefield and fight hard for the people and them." ”
As soon as Jiang Cheng heard this, he knew that his last scruples had disappeared, and was about to explain his identity, when Gallagher suddenly shouted in his mind, "Wait, you wait, are you really sure you want to do this?" ”
Jiang Cheng said unhappily, "Didn't we all discuss it, besides, in this era, in fact, I will win in the end without me, if it doesn't work, I'll just wear it back." ”
Gallagher anxiously swirled in his mind and said, "Then why don't you make a real deal with the modern country?" ”
Jiang Cheng rolled his eyes and said, "You and I are really stupid, I don't care about it in this era, I will go back, there is Yu Na in modern time and space, there are my parents, what really happened, where can I go?" ”
Jiang Cheng, who no longer paid attention to Gallagher, exhaled, took out his membership card brought from Hyundai, and handed it to Mao Yongzhi.
Mao Yongzhi took it suspiciously, and when she saw that it was actually the symbol of the Communist Youth League, she couldn't help but feel happy in her heart - is this Jiang Cheng a member of our party?
But when she opened it and looked at the style of the league membership card that she had never seen before, Mao Yongzhi couldn't help but be surprised, the time she joined the group turned out to be 2004? Is this a mistake?
Jiang Cheng looked at the puzzled Mao Yongzhi and nodded sternly, "Chairman Mao, whether you believe it or not, I am not a person from this era, but a person from the future, due to some coincidences, I have the ability to travel through time and space freely." This is the time that has come. ”
Mao Yongzhi was a staunch proletarian revolutionary fighter who did not believe in ghosts and gods, and immediately calmed down and asked, "What you said is true?" If this is true, then you are the science? Still is? ”
Jiang Cheng smiled, "It's science, but it's the science of aliens, this ability can also allow me to carry a lot of materials, but it's not against the sky, now I can probably carry materials within a radius of five meters." At the same time, no living creatures are allowed. ”
