Chapter One Thousand and Seventy-Five

Time is a wonderful thing, especially for a country that is rapidly advancing. Because at this time, the country can be described as changing almost all the time, especially for some cities.

For example, Yan Shao's hometown is not a very large small city, and it can even be described as a fourth-tier city.

There is no doubt that since it is called a fourth-tier city, it will not be such a prosperous city. Although the city has had countless accolades, it has changed dramatically after the erosion of the years...

Eventually, the city sank completely...

As for what happened after that...

All in all, after a wave of layoffs, Yan Shao's hometown is basically like that.

However, just a few years before Yan Shao crossed over, this situation had changed dramatically. The city, which was almost like a backwater, suddenly changed dramatically, and almost all the time without high-rise buildings rising from the ground.

After a few years of hard work, it can already make people unrecognizable.

It can even be said that if there is really a person who has been away from his hometown for several years and returns, it may be an exaggeration to say that he can't find his home, but it is certain that he will be stunned or even dizzy.

In fact, by the time Yan Shao crossed over, at least on the main road, except for the two or three buildings on the side of the road that had not changed, the others had basically been demolished and completely replaced by brand new buildings.

Fortunately, at least as far as Yan Shao knows, there doesn't seem to be any forced demolition in Yan Shao's hometown. There are more contradictions that occur because the demolition money has not been negotiated. But even so, you can see how much has changed.

At least. Yan Shao was somewhat unable to adapt, and the tennis court and movie theater that he used to go to was suddenly demolished. Then a piece was demolished. There are also many buildings full of childhood memories, which are places that Yan Shao likes to go to since he was a child.

However, people are creatures that are easy to adapt, so when the time comes, Yan Shao has basically adapted.

Although Yan Shao actually misses the past, to be honest, it is more convenient for the city now. Of course, what makes Yan Shao even happier is that the price of the bus has not changed―――――― although Yan Shao remembers that when he was more than ten years old, the price of the bus was how many cents?

And also. At that time, the price of a bowl of noodles was only five or two yuan a piece, but now, even the cheapest bowl costs seven yuan...

It can only be said that the price of this thing has risen too much, of course, it seems that there are also housing prices that are equally powerful...

Especially in the two years before Yan Shao crossed over, the house price was like a rocket, constantly skyrocketing!

Fortunately, Yan Shao's city is a fourth-tier city. So the house price is basically around 3,000, and even if it is a better place, it is only 6,000 or 7,000. Of course, there are some very good places, but those are not accessible to ordinary people.

But even so. For the city where Yan Shao is located, this is not a small price.

After all, Yan Shao's city is just a very ordinary fourth-tier city. The per capita salary is only more than 2,000, and the better ones are more than 3,000.

How to say it. This is actually a city that is completely dependent on state-owned enterprises. The most popular thing in this city is related to petrochemicals, or electricity. As for the rest...

However, it is precisely because this is a very traditional city that when the laid-off and re-employed, the impact on the city seemed so heavy.

In Yan Shao's memory, many of his father's co-workers seem to have died early because they couldn't bear the blow. Of course, not all of them committed suicide, in fact, most of them were because they couldn't be affected by this change, so they drank every day, and as a result, they drank and drank...

What makes Yan Shao feel fortunate is that at least his father is not like this...

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

The development of this kind of thing is very big for a city, and it is actually the same for China today. It is for this reason that there is absolutely no problem in describing China's cities as changing with each passing day.

Naturally, this also led to a large number of demolition and construction, but fortunately, at this time, except for large cities such as Shanghai and Beijing, other ordinary cities do not have such a deep concept of real estate, so even when the demolition occurs, the value of the house has changed somewhat, but it will not affect the sky for several years. In particular, some smaller counties have been affected by negligible.

In this process, in fact, Yan Shao also worried about issues such as forced demolition. After all, for the sake of money, human beings will do a lot of things that they shouldn't do.

But fortunately, the real estate industry at this time was not as developed as in later generations. Although it is also a capitalist society at the moment, the feudal factor still hangs over the whole country, and it is not easy to dispel it.

More importantly, the current government is still relatively clean.

In fact, no one realizes the importance of the real estate industry, and even some people have thought about some crooked things like this, but the problem is that although the Kuomintang government in this period did not dare to compare with some super clean countries in later generations, it was still much stronger than China in later generations, and the most important thing was compared with the former Qing Dynasty.

The so-called collusion between officials and businessmen, if there is no official side, then even if it is the business side, it is useless to be greedy for money.

Although there are a few officials who are blinded by money, they go to cover for those real estate developers, but basically as long as someone reports it, coupled with the hard work of the Ministry of Integrity next to it, in the end, I don't know how many such moths have been dug up.

So naturally, although it cannot be said that such a thing as forced demolition has never happened, it can be said. It is very rare. It can even be described as pitiful with less.

And it's basically all already been dealt with, the other way around. The people who were demolished usually received the money for the demolition.

Maybe it's because the house was demolished. Not only do they have a new house to live in, but they also have a large amount of demolition money. So at least at this stage, the vast majority of the people are still very satisfied with this. There are even many people looking forward to demolishing the house as soon as possible, because there are too many benefits to be obtained in this way―――――― although the pressure of life today is indeed not as great as in the past, but people are far from being ambitious, isn't it?

It's like at the beginning, a person just wants to have enough to eat, and then he will pursue more and more things, and they will get higher and higher...

First of all, higher requirements were put forward for food, clothing, housing and transportation, just like steamed buns. Ask for white flour steamed buns, ask to be able to eat meat, and even ask for dumplings for a meal.

And clothes and the like, he also started to look for brands, whereas a few years ago he might have just liked to buy some street goods.

In the case of something else...

For example, before Yan Shao crossed over, as long as he went to the park, he could often see some old men 'playing' there. Some just carry a DSLR camera and take pictures of some grandmothers in the park. Some are singing...

Anyway, the one in front really scared Yan Shao for a moment, after all, the old man's arm strength is really strong, holding a very long lens, and a flash is installed on it...

The problem is...

When photographing landscapes. What's the use of a flash? It seems that a single flash can't add light to the whole landscape, right?

At least in the eyes of Yan Shao's friends, this is not just pretending. There doesn't seem to be much other use for it. Especially if it's such a long lens, medium telephoto. It's really not very suitable for taking pictures...

Perhaps, show off in front of the old grandmother. That's the biggest purpose.

Of course, these have nothing to do with Yan Shao, after all, no matter how much the old man likes to show off in front of his grandmother, it doesn't have much to do with Yan Shao, right?

What really made Yan Shao a little speechless were those who liked to sing in the park.

What should I say, when I am old and retired, will I always be very idle, in one of the largest parks in the city of Yan Shao, as mentioned earlier, there are often some grandfathers and grandmothers playing happily in it, and some of them are like the previous ones who buy a DSLR camera to take pictures.

No matter how these old grandfathers shoot, at least they don't bother the people next to them.

But there are some people who have a greater impact.

Some of them, like to get their own radio, turn it on, and dance there on their own.

Others simply sang in the Common Era!!

And I came with a speaker, and I took a microphone here and sang loudly there.

The problem is that they always like to occupy the most scenic spots, or the coolest places when there is sun, which leads to many problems. Sometimes it's just a distance of more than 100 meters, and there may even be as many as two or three waves of grandfathers and grandmothers singing there, which really makes Yan Shao a little unbearable!!

However, there is nothing you can do about these old people, after all, these are old people, aren't they?

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Located in a residential area in Beijing, Liu Liang walked out of the door of the unit, looked at the things he was carrying, and walked towards another unit nearby.

That unit is the unit where his parents live, since Liu Liang got married, he and his parents have lived separately, and he and his wife live in another house not far away, although the area is definitely not as big as that of his parents, but it is enough for the husband and wife to live.

"But recently, it seems that the price is a little higher than before..."

Carrying the things in his hand, Liu Liang said with some emotion.

In fact, at the end of the Qing Dynasty and during the Xinhai Revolution, China's prices were very chaotic, after all, the current situation at that time was also very chaotic, which directly led to the chaos of prices, especially the things that many people urgently needed, and even made a price that was significantly higher than the real value.

For example, food and the like. These are very easy to get a high price code in troubled times.

This is true for food, and it is also true for most of the others.

Of course. There are also some depreciating things, such as some antiques and curiosities. After all, it's time for troubled times. There are really not many people who have the heart to collect these, which also directly leads to the decline in prices.

However, with the establishment of the national government, the chaotic prices were quickly contained.

After all, a strong government will never allow prices to skyrocket. What's more, this important reason for the soaring price has been eradicated by the national government.

In fact, there are two main reasons why prices will skyrocket, one is first because of the chaotic period at that time, which directly led to the soaring prices. And taking into account the circumstances at that time. Even if the price of goods rises, people don't worry that you won't buy it.

As for the other reason, it's the cost...

First of all, in the case of panic, labor costs will certainly be reduced very low, because at that time workers only need to have one job. However, the cost may not go down, after all, if you want to do business well at that time, the price you need to pay is too much.

What's more, at the end of the Qing Dynasty, there were such things as centigold. This also directly leads to the soaring cost. Especially on the opposite side of transportation costs, not to mention a series of harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

If nothing else, just consider the series of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, as well as centimen and other things. It is already possible to imagine how high the transportation cost was during this period. It was for this reason that prices were very high at the time, but later with the establishment of the National Commune Government. The situation quickly took a drastic turn, first of all. It was the national government at that time that took the lead in abolishing the centigold and a series of other harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes. This has also led to a significant reduction in logistics costs in the mainland, which in turn has lowered prices in many aspects.

In addition, there are also relatively honest officials.

Although this may seem to have nothing to do with prices, if the officials were honest, at least the merchants would not have to pay more to bribe the bureaucrats.

It is precisely because of this series of relationships that not long after the establishment of the National Social Government, its prices have begun to fall greatly, and people have begun to turn from being full and warm to thinking about what is lewd...

Of course, there is another thing that has also greatly depressed housing prices, and this thing is the change in productivity.

In the past, people's production methods were very backward, and it is conceivable that the efficiency will definitely not be very high.

But later the situation was very different, first of all, tractors, pesticides, fertilizers and other technologies were put into use, so that the output and other aspects have been greatly increased.

Of course, this is only one aspect, and then new breeds and other breeding are also put into use. In many cases, the government will even choose to import some better seeds from the past to ensure the increase in production capacity.

In addition, there are other things, such as pig farms and chicken farms.

In the past, China's breeding methods have always been more traditional, that is, how to raise them, basically every household will raise some, but the scale is definitely not large.

But with the advent of the new era, this method has undergone great changes, especially under the persuasion and construction of the national government, more and more people have begun to choose this new way of farming, which has also led to a great increase in meat production.

Generally speaking, if there is a day when supply is much greater than demand, it is time for prices to fall.

In the history before Yan Shao crossed over, wasn't it because of this reason that the shale oil revolution in the United States failed?

There is no way, the Americans produce too much oil, and on the other hand, countries including Saudi Arabia do not agree to reduce production or some other practices, which directly leads to the continuous decline in crude oil prices.

Naturally, this practice also hit Russia, which has always relied on oil exports, and it is precisely for this reason that Russia has been greatly hit before Yan Shao crossed over. Although I dare not say that it has reached the point of collapse, at least compared with the time when the oil industry was still smooth, it is already far, far behind...

The reason for this is simple. It's because supply is greater than demand.

Of course, the current China has certainly not yet reached the point where supply exceeds demand. After all, there are more than 500 million people in the country. Moreover, because of the continuous improvement of daily life, the requirements for living standards of these more than 500 million people can also be said to be higher and higher. In this case, no matter how much food there is, I am afraid that they will be able to consume it.

However, even so, the increase in production capacity has driven down some prices.

Naturally, there is no one more happy than the people in this situation, after all, no one will object to cheaper goods―――――― especially when the price of these goods is cheaper, but the quality has decreased in the slightest.

The problem is that with the passage of time, when the domestic situation has completely stabilized, although the domestic production capacity growth is still expanding, the price level has also begun to stabilize and increase. Especially as China's economy is becoming more and more developed.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Of course. With the continuous increase in income, the common people can continue to live happily. Because, at least at this time, there is no way to match the rate of increase in prices compared to the rate of income growth.

But when I think of the founding of the People's Republic of China, people like Liu Liang can't help but feel a little emotional.

"But the newspaper also said that this is a situation that will inevitably occur in the process of economic development, so there is no need to be too flustered..."Thinking so, Liu Liang carried his things and came to his parents' house, and knocked on the door gently. Liu Liang walked over. "Dad, mother!"

Although at this time, Daddy or Mommy or something, because of the influence of Western civilization, has a small influence in China. There are even a lot of people who have begun to call it like this, but at least for Liu Liang, who is still very traditional, it is absolutely impossible to call his parents in this way―――――― even if he is willing to call him so. His parents may not want to hear it, and if they don't, they may even be startled.

Heard Liu Liang's words. Liu Liang's mother hurriedly dragged him into the room.

"You're here, by the way, Xiao Lin. Why didn't she come with you? ”

Liu Liang's mother didn't guess anything, after all, the distance between the two homes was too close, if something really happened, even if it was too far away to hear any sound, but she could definitely know in the shortest possible time―――――― no way, who called the surrounding residents are neighbors for many years, if something really happened, it would be impossible not to inform them.

And Liu Liang's relationship is very good, so she didn't worry about this.

"Oh, it's nothing, it's just that there is still some work in it that I haven't finished doing, so let me come over first, and she'll come over when she's done."

Hearing his own mother asking there, Liu Liang hurriedly replied.

China is a civilization that respects its ancestors and elders, and among all the elders, there is probably nothing more important than their parents. Therefore, when his own mother asked, Liu Liang certainly couldn't not answer.

Hearing Liu Liang's words, his mother nodded with satisfaction.

Originally, she didn't believe that it was Liu Liang and the two of them who quarreled, but now that she heard such an answer, Liu Liang's mother was naturally very satisfied.

At the same time, Liu Liang's father seemed to notice that his son was coming, so he hurriedly turned around and asked. "You're here? What about Xiao Lin? By the way, did you buy the things I asked you to buy for me..."

"Xiao Lin still has some things, I'll come over in a while, I've already bought the things you asked me to buy."

The sky is big, and the parents are the largest, at least for the Chinese of this era, this seems to be a very normal thing, so Liu Liang quickly took out something from his cloth bag and sent it to his father.

Seeing that thing, Liu Liang's father showed a satisfied expression in his clothes, and after taking the thing from his hand, he quickly looked through it, and there was a lot of meaning in his eyes―――――― from a certain point of view, this may also be a common problem of some elderly people.

However, although on the surface, it seems that they don't pay attention to their own appearance at all, but in fact, these old people may not think like this in their hearts.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

As for the things in his hands, Liu Liang's father can be said to have been looking forward to it for a long time, just because he has been a little uncomfortable recently. That's why I didn't go out to buy it.

And now that Liu Liang has delivered it, he naturally wants to take a good look. So after sitting back in his original seat, Liu Liang hurriedly found a magnifying glass. Then I took a closer look.

At the same time, Liu Liang also walked behind his father's back, of course, he didn't do anything bad, after all, Liu Liang is also a standard honest person anyway.

Don't say it's an honest person, unless it's some psychologically twisted people, I'm afraid many people will never do this, especially not to stick a knife into someone they don't know at all...

Looking from his father's back, Liu Liang could clearly see what was written on it.

"The 10th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China parade!"

It's been the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, and it's been the 10th anniversary of the founding of For the young country of the Commune government. Almost ten years have passed since the founding of the country in 1913.

In the past ten years, China has almost undergone earth-shaking changes, which has always made Yan Shao regret why he didn't buy a camera in the first place...

After all, if Yan Shao had bought a camera at that time, he would have been able to record all of this.

In fact, not only the current words, but also the words of the future generations will be more stable to use.

However, it is precisely because the time of ten years has passed that the national government will find a way to celebrate. This is especially the case―――――― because there is only one way for the Communist government, except for the first few occasions, at least for such occasions.

But you don't have to make it the kind where anyone can go, so it's a lot easier.

Actually, at the beginning. The Nationalist government did intend to hold a military parade every other year, so that it would not only deter other countries. Even other problems can be solved to some extent.

The problem, however, is that once a year there is a military parade. The consumption is too great, at least not the huge consumption that ordinary people can imagine.

After all, if you have to have a grand military parade every year. That's a lot of cost―――――― but fortunately, at least at this time, the so-called landscape photographers haven't appeared, otherwise, it's really hard to say.

At least those so-called models and the like, if you want to get rid of the square of the Sky X Gate, it is estimated that you need to expel a lot of tourists, so just forget it.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――

As mentioned earlier, the cost and expense of such a thing as a military parade is very large, and if you have to make a grand event every year, then the cost will definitely be very expensive.

Although Yan Shao didn't really care about this kind of thing, but in the end, after thinking about it, Yan Shao decided to change this habit to the same as that of later generations of China, that is, a grand military parade every 10 years, as for the time of the military parade, of course, it was the time to start the military parade―――――― that is, when the national government was established.

What Liu Liang brought to his father were some photos of yesterday's rehearsal of the military parade.

Some of them look vague, while others are very clear. But there are also some very mediocre kinds, which is not surprising at all, after all, at that time, the capable watchmakers were basically running away.

But the most striking thing is probably the many new equipment in it.

Especially in the formation of the armored troops, some heavy equipment in the form made Liu Liang and his son very curious.

"It seems that you can see a lot of things in this parade..."

"yes." Hearing his father's words, Liu Liang hurriedly replied. "It is said that this military parade can make a lot of new equipment show its face..."But speaking of this, Liu Liang spoke again after being silent for a while. But to be honest, I don't know when these equipment will have some chance to teach those foreigners a lesson..."

"With the president here, there will definitely be a chance."

"Yes, by the way, Dad, do you want me to push you to Tianxmen to watch the military parade?"

"No, just go and see for yourself, there should be a lot of people there, and it's too lively, where do I go with this old bone, but it's not very suitable..."

Hearing his father's words, Liu Liang looked a little strange. But after he greeted his parents, and then waited for his wife, Liu Liang took his wife towards the destination, and saw that the number of people there was almost uncountable

Of course, Liu Liang knows why so many people choose to come over, which is not surprising, after all, the military parade of the national government usually occurs once in ten years.

Ten years, ten years, how many decades can a person have in his life?

What's more, for people in this era, there is no so-called live TV, let alone computers and the Internet. So if you don't want to miss it, it's basically coming. And this has made a very high test for Liu Liang and them...

However, Liu Liang himself didn't care much about it, after all, he had a certain amount of psychological preparation before, and what would happen next was not really unnoticeable.

Now for him, the most important thing is the military parade, especially the military parade later, this is the most important ...

Because at the military parade, Liu Liang and his wife and children could see many very wonderful things. Especially a series of aircraft cannons, etc.

"I heard from the newspaper that the Wehrmacht may attend a large number of troops this time, and I'm afraid this number will be very high..." Thinking so, Liu Liang's gaze became a little limited.

In fact, Liu Liang's identity is not only just an ordinary person, but more importantly, a military fan.

The question is...

This one seems to be the kind from a long time ago...

How to say it, there are naturally many military fans in later generations, some like guns, some like aircraft artillery.

But in this era, military fans are still a very rare thing... (To be continued......)
